I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 100

Episode 100

It was a world where everything was made up of aura.

The grass, the trees, the dirt.

Everything that was born and raised on the earth had an aura.

It feels like I’m drowning in a sea of ​​aura.

And so was I, standing in that mystical landscape.

When did I come to have so many auras?

He looked at me with curiosity, then turned his head and looked toward the backyard.

There were more auras gathered there than anywhere else. It seemed like all the auras that had flown away earlier were there.

That too in the shape of a tree.

‘Wait a minute, a tree?’

There was only one tree like that in the garden.

Ssuksukki.

I ran straight and opened the backyard door.

Then, it froze in place in the form of a huge aura.

What should I call this… something divine?

It was a sight for which I couldn’t think of words to describe it.

“ah.”

But that sight did not last long. It returned to its original state as if nothing had happened.

A peaceful backyard garden scene.

At the same time, I came out of the world of aura that was so ecstatic.

If I told someone what I just saw, would they believe me?

No, but is it even possible to express it properly in the first place?

It probably won’t be easy.

If I could see the aura, I could use all of Manseonggong’s talents to imitate it a bit…

‘Then there would be no need for me to show it to you in the first place.’

In short, it was a useless act. Trying to explain the scenery I had just seen.

“Phew─.”

First, I calmed my mind.

The native talents came to life and helped with that.

Thanks to that, I was able to escape from the afterglow of seeing the world of aura and look back at the original scenery.

The first thing I checked was, of course, Ssuksuk.

“you…….”

Sararak~

The leaves of the mugwort swayed. And between them, pure white flowers fell.

The petals fell like the pure white snow of early summer.

I reached out and placed one on my palm, and it disappeared in an instant.

Was it a flower made of aura rather than just petals?

I raised my head again, but the flower petals were nowhere to be seen, as if they had never been there.

For a moment I thought I was mistaken, but I trusted my senses. The flower petals were real.

And there was definitely something to prove it.

A luscious red fruit remains where the original white flowers were.

[Ssuksukki (coffee tree)]

*situation

─Growth type

─Long-term waiting

*effect

─Strengthening pest control

─Blessing (3/3)

─Purification

Looking up at the text window of the Ssuksuk tree with its fruit, it was finally revealed what kind of tree it was.

“It was a coffee tree?”

Sararak~

It feels so plausible and unexpected that it leaves me dumbfounded.

Anyway, I put that mysterious feeling aside and took a closer look at the Ssuk-Ssuk-I again.

Because Ssuksukki couldn’t just be an ordinary coffee tree. It also had that huge aura-like trunk I saw earlier.

Of course… …it doesn’t matter if it’s an ordinary tree.

“If it’s a fruit, does that make it a coffee bean?”

I guess so because it’s a coffee tree.

Those red, cherry-like fruits become coffee beans… … It felt strange.

Plus, the coffee beans in the cafe were going bad at the time, so it worked out well.

Of course, there is still more ripening to do and there are still processes needed to turn the fruit into coffee beans… … .

That’s tolerable enough.

Somehow, I feel like Ssuk Ssuk coffee beans would have a special effect.

Sararak~

“Huh? Were you frustrated too?”

Ssuksuk shook the leaves, as if he was relieved to finally reveal his identity.

By the way, is it now possible to express one’s opinion to this extent?

Strangely, it seemed like I could hear Ssuk-Ssuk-yi speaking.

Of course, I had a feeling about it before, but now I feel it more clearly.

‘Can Ssuksuk speak and see his identity?’

That might be the case.

I wanted to tell Sooksooki what I was always curious about, but I guess that wasn’t possible.

Anyway, it was really… … wonderful.

Even more so because he seems like a guy who grew up with me.

Knock knock!

I walked around the garden, petting the mugwort.

The same world that was once immersed in aura no longer existed. Only its aftertaste remained in my mind.

What was that sight? The afterglow of it, which I had briefly forgotten, came rushing back to me.

It feels like I’ve briefly seen a very special world…

‘Will I be able to see you again?’

Or how should I see it again? Such thoughts occupied my mind.

And those thoughts quickly came together.

It was simple.

‘You’ve done well so far, so let’s do it again and see.’

In some ways, you could say that this is just the beginning.

Because I also have a new goal.

New season, new goals.

“Good.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

I never knew it could be this purely enjoyable.

Oh! By the way, the aura that flew in earlier must definitely be Gu Hae-seong’s… … .

I hope things went well?

This time it was different than usual, so I tilted my head a little.

But I quickly realized a way to find out. Since Mr. Koo Hae-seong was a famous model… … .

“Well, I guess so.”

I searched on my phone and found a recent article. And in that article, there was talk about Koo Hae-seong returning to modeling.

Looking at the photo, it doesn’t seem like he lost a lot of weight. However, many people were cheering for Koo Hae-seong as he confidently gave the interview.

“Huh?”

And then there were other articles related to Mr. Koo Haeng-seong’s past… … .

I think that’s probably why people are cheering.

Because it was an article that exposed the truth of the incident along with an apology.

“That’s good.”

It wasn’t something I had expected, but it still felt better to confirm it like this.

>Koo Hae-seong’s persistence

I checked the text window and found out that I also gained a new talent.

Since this also goes into the talent of the native, it seems that the talent of the ‘native’ is also related to the mind.

And thanks to that, this time, To-saeng-do and Mok-saeng grew into To-saeng (2nd class).

Could that be why I saw that earlier? I think so.

It seems that if you grow Manseonggong, you can get closer to that world.

Of course, there is no reason to obsess over it, but it can’t hurt to feel something good again.

Since the direction is the same, it will connect soon.

“The weather is nice. Isn’t it?”

Sararak~

The sun hasn’t risen yet, but it will probably rise soon now that the rain has stopped.

We had a very rewarding time during the rain, so now it’s time to give back to our guests.

There were a lot of things that caught my eye.

It seemed that it wasn’t just mugworts that bore fruit in the garden.

The ones that had absorbed plenty of water during the rainy season opened up greedily as if they had been waiting.

“Hmm. Should I try making that?”

Summer is the season of aids and smoothies. It is the time when various delicious fruits come out.

And as the weather was hot, it was also a time when I wanted something sweet, refreshing, and cool.

‘I always seem to get fruit from the village chief, but this time I think I’ll get enough from the garden.’

I examined the ripe fruits one by one.

I knew the lemons and limes, and the melons were bright yellow and very ripe.

It looked incredibly delicious, perhaps because it was still wet from the rain and the colors were even more vivid.

Okay, I’ll stop here for today.

I picked a ripe melon.

beep!

When Tori came, he kept nagging me, so I gave him one too.

It was the cost of using Tori’s oysters.

Of course, Tori might not think that way.

Anyway, the yellow brother came into the kitchen with lemons and melons.

[melon]

*situation

─Best

*effect

─Recover from fatigue

─Prevent constipation

As expected, it was a melon in top condition.

The effect is… … .

‘What would be good to harmonize?’

I thought about this for a while and decided to make a drink first.

I had already decided when I picked the melon.

It would be nice to make juice, or a smoothie, but that would probably be a little boring… … .

‘Since we’re making it, let’s make sherbet.’

The process of making it was the same anyway.

First, wash the ripe melon thoroughly. Then peel it.

Looking at the sweet scent coming from the pure white flesh, it looked really delicious.

“Should I just eat one?”

You have to taste it to know it.

No one said anything, but I made excuses and ate a whole peeled melon.

Crunchy!

The flesh entered my mouth with an ideal texture, firm but not hard.

And at the same time, I ate the sweet seeds inside the melon flesh.

however.

“Wow… …what is this?”

All the melons I’ve eaten so far were so delicious that I thought they were radish.

Was melon originally this kind of fruit?

The flesh was juicy and the inside was as sweet as honey.

In addition, the faint scent of the melon was different from what I had known before. It was similar to the scent of a melon, but the unique scent of the melon was very strong.

I always thought melon was an ambiguous fruit, but the taste made me forget all about that.

Crunchy! Crunchy!

I was eating absentmindedly and before I knew it, I had finished one.

“It’s really delicious.”

“What’s so delicious?”

“Huh? When did you come?”

“I came here just now, but the boss was so busy eating that I stayed quiet.”

As I was talking to myself, a face suddenly popped out from the counter.

I guess I really ate like crazy.

You don’t know this?

“What is it? Huh? It’s a melon! I really like melon.”

“is it so?”

“Wow~ Did that also grow in the garden?”

“Yes. I saw it today and it was all ripe.”

“Huh… I think I should make a vegetable garden in my yard too.”

Well, that won’t be easy… … .

It’s hard to say this, but I was able to get by relatively comfortably thanks to the help of Tiger Shelter, Tori, Aura, and so on.

But farming isn’t always about getting what you put in.

Of course, I had no intention of stopping you.

“Okay. Should I tell you about a good seed store? There’s one in town.”

“Really? I love it!… … This.”

What is it? I was really happy and then suddenly I became gloomy.

Isn’t that a good thing?

“What’s the problem?”

“Oh, it’s been raining for several days, right? That’s why the ceiling is leaking.”

Hansong said with a gloomy expression.

There’s water leaking through the ceiling…

That’s too bad. The garden isn’t the problem right now.

“okay.”

“So, if you don’t mind, could you take a look at it for a moment?”

“Huh? The ceiling?”

“Yes. You said before that it needed to be waterproofed and insulated when you first saw it.”

I remembered that time.

They said that waterproofing was a problem, but insulation was a bigger problem. I remember that at the time, there was no urgent need, so they just passed on it…

“I think I need to call a company, but I don’t know how much it will cost or where to call.”

“Hmm. Then just wait a minute. I’ll just do this and go.”

“yes!”

I left Hansongi for a moment and came back into the kitchen.

Now that you’ve tasted the melon, it’s time to make sherbet.

‘It would be perfect if I made it and left it there and then came back.’

After peeling the melon, I scooped out the insides.

It’s sweet and good, but if you eat too much, you might get sick. If you make it into something cold like sherbet, that might stand out even more.

So, even though it’s a shame to throw away the insides, I dug them out and put only the flesh in the blender. Then I added honey and lemon juice and blended them, and I’m done.

[Melon Sherbet]

*effect

─Enhanced fatigue recovery

─Strengthening prevention of constipation

The effects of melon, lemon, and honey have all been combined… … So, what will come out if we add the tenacity we gained today to this harmony?

I tried putting it in right away using the influence.

“hmm…….”

[Melon Sherbet]

*effect

─Enhanced fatigue recovery

─Strengthening prevention of constipation

─Perseverance

Then just more persistence was added.

Is it still not enough to produce any other effects?

Then what if you were to give your drawing talent the grit that goes along with perseverance?

─Staff training

Here it comes! It was a new effect.

Now, I understand the meaning of sharpening an axe to make a needle, but I’m not sure exactly what the effect is.

Does it strengthen your tenacity?

Hmm… … I guess I’ll have to try it to know.

Harmony seems to be effective, but sometimes it’s ambiguous like this, so you have to check it.

Since I had to freeze it to finish it, I decided to put it in a container and leave it in the freezer for about two hours.

In the meantime, if I went to Hansong’s house and came back, it seemed like the time would be right.

“Let’s go.”

“yes!”

But why is this person so cheerful when he asks to see his house that is in trouble…?
