My name is Karowa. One day, after crawling out of a remote mountain valley, I found the world completely changed. Not only had I become a mother, but my child's father had spread a rumor that I was dead and made off with all my money!

But when I forced him to repay every last cent, with interest, this shameless man claimed that the money "now" had nothing to do with the person I was "back then." Not only did he not have to pay me back, I supposedly owed him a huge sum in damages.

"You were the one who kicked first," he said, completely self-righteous. "I was just being used as a 'projectile.' The force you applied sent me crashing through the wall, so..."

So now this is my fault too? Outrageous!

I immediately grabbed a dinner plate and planted it on his face.

Me: Where are the photos of the kid when they were little? Hurry up and show me!

The Kid's Dad: There aren't any.

Me: ?

The Kid's Dad: Not only are there no photos, I haven't seen them in years. They probably think we're both dead. Oh, wait, you really were dead.

Me: ??

The Kid's Dad: I don't have custody either. Thank goodness. Let whoever wants to deal with that brat do it. I'm not raising them.

Me: ???

Wait, what kind of scumbag is this?!

Please note:

1. First-person narration, a local from the Hunter world, told entirely from the heroine's perspective.

2. Gin's appearance is based on the manga. Pregnancy Stone warning.

3. I have a soft spot for obscure characters, so there are lots of original plotlines and characters.

4. If something seems illogical or contradictory, it's probably foreshadowing.

5. I've tried hard to stick to the manga, but most of this is made up. Feel free to point out errors, but please be gentle. Comments and discussion are very welcome!

If it's not to your taste, please stop reading. We read web novels for fun, after all.
