Episode 138

The village chief and Lee Seon-ah came with the swan.

“A wild animal?”

“Yes. Someone dug up a watermelon and ate it. There were marks like this… … What kind of person could it be?”

It showed traces of the criminal found through target detection.

Fortunately, the criminal left a very large trace.

Of course, it was already visible through target detection, but it was also a trace that could have been overlooked if one did not know about it.

“He walks on all fours, but his feet aren’t as big as I thought.”

“The trail continued that way.”

We also found out the direction in which the target was moving by detecting it.

Even though his feet are small, a wild animal is still a wild animal. Unless you’re like Tori, it’s hard to chase after one by yourself.

‘It’s difficult to deal with wild animals with bare hands.’

Even herbivores are very rough.

I actually thought calling the village chief was a joke, but I didn’t mean to blindly follow him.

“Are the other fields in the village okay?”

The boar that left the brownies last time.

I also wanted to share information to see if it was seen in the village like that time.

Then the village chief shook his head.

“Not yet. Hmm, it’s summer so there aren’t many wild animals coming down here. That’s strange.”

“Don’t you come down often in the summer?”

“I guess so. There’s a lot to eat in the mountains.”

Well, there was so much greenery all around, so there was no reason to come down to where there were people.

But what if it was the very sweet scent of fruit from our own garden? That would be another story.

Anyway, more important than anything else is that whatever came down came down.

“What could it be?”

“It looks like a fox or a raccoon. Oh, there’s also a weasel, but its feet are bigger than that, so it’s unlikely to be one.”

A fox and a raccoon… … .

Unless you live in the countryside, these are the kind of things you’d only see at a zoo. But aren’t they carnivores?

“Sometimes they eat fruits grown in the fields… … I guess we’ll have to keep an eye on this one.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“If it’s a wild boar, I’ll call someone to take care of it right away, but these guys won’t come down if there’s someone there, and it’ll be hard to find them. Just in case, I could set up a trap… … .”

Oh, the village chief can’t help you right now.

I don’t really like using traps because they might catch Lang or Tori.

“Or maybe you should bring that swan with you.”

Wow! Wow!

The guy who answered my call as if he knew I was calling him.

“Oh, a swan? Um… … Is that okay?”

“We’re fine. How much are we installing these days?”

Then I saw Lee Seon-ah holding a swan.

How many walks have you been on that have bags under your eyes?

Heh heh heh heh!

Regardless, Baekgu kept wandering around as if he was so excited about something. Lee Seon-ah was dragged along there.

Well, should I not accept it?

It was now a fairly large swan. It was about the size of an adult Jindo dog.

If he grew up to be quite manly, he would seem to be a sturdy man.

‘Considering his personality, he seems like a guy who wouldn’t even be able to guard his own home.’

If you discover something, you’ll probably react to it.

“But I think there might be wild animals around.”

“If you leave it for a few days, the wild animals will know to avoid you. There are no people who want to see blood in the abundant mountains. If they keep coming out, I’ll tell you again. This is something that happens when you stir things up for no reason. Even if the wild animals are small, they are dangerous because they can transmit germs if they bite.”

“Ah! Yes. I understand.”

As always, it’s best to listen to the advice of an expert.

In the end, I decided to keep the swan with me for the time being.

Of course, I didn’t intend to tie you down in a cafe.

When I go to work, I stay with them, and when there are no customers or there are customers who like dogs, I can let them out in the empty lot.

Because Cole is a good guy.

Of course I’ll take you home when I get off work.

And to begin with, I feel sorry for Baekgu, but it didn’t seem like he could fight off a wild beast and defeat it.

Heh heh?

I patted the head of the guy who was tilting his head.

I hope you’re not hurt.

So I had no intention of sending him to the dangerous job of guarding the cafe. It was enough for him to just let me know if he sensed anything with his superior senses than humans.

For now, they decided to do that and the village chief and Lee Seon-ah went back.

And I checked the traces once more with target detection.

“Everything else is fine. Tori, are you okay?”

beep!

“Really? Then that’s good.”

Tori rolled her feet as if nothing was wrong. There must be a way to avoid it.

The expanded house has a door and a camouflage effect, so… Huh?

Now that I think about it, there was that, right?

Talent of the stomach.

Clearly obtained while expanding Tori’s lair.

What if I use it in my garden?

I tried it right away.

“Huh? It doesn’t work?”

Somehow it didn’t work.

Why is it that just thinking about talent is usually enough to use it?

‘Are the conditions not met?’

Oh, right!

There was no medium.

Just as drinks are usually given a talent, Tori’s oyster had a camouflage effect on its door.

So, what I’m saying is that there needs to be a medium in the garden too.

But I don’t think it would be easy to put up a fence and put up a gate right away?

Hmm… … .

“Since it’s a stomach anyway, is there really a need to block it with a door?”

Come to think of it, that’s what happened.

Well then, let’s think about it, what kind of disguise should we use… .

At that moment, the sight of a panting swan flashed before my eyes. And.

“Oh.”

Suddenly an interesting idea occurred to me.

“Swan.”

king!

“You, try being a wolf.”

Huh?

I brought the swan, who was tilting his head, inside and decided to make a special snack for him.

‘The effect would be to counteract the stomach’s aura and give it some charisma.’

At that level, wouldn’t most wild animals mistake the swan for a real wolf?

But I think this should be applied not only to Baekgu, but also to Rangi and Tori.

Roll, roll.

“No… … Are you okay?”

I feel like everything in the world is bothersome and things are too comfortable right now, so I don’t think I need a bum who rolls around on the cafe floor.

Just in case.

A snack that all the guys can eat… … .

‘watermelon?’

I don’t know if Rangi will eat it.

He’s a carnivore who doesn’t eat fruit.

‘I think it might be okay to mix it with Churu.’

I came into the kitchen and picked up a half-broken watermelon.

Luckily, one side was pretty intact. I threw away the one that was almost eaten, and cleaned up the dirty parts of the other half.

Then I dug out the watermelon and took out the seeds.

“Hey, Lang, would you like to try this?”

Why?

I gave it to him just to see if he could eat it, and sure enough, it was fine.

Knock! Knock!

He just plays around by poking me with his front paws.

On the other hand, the swan,

Crunch! Crunch!

“Isn’t it delicious?”

I put it in my mouth and chewed it.

Seeing him eating so deliciously made me realize that I hadn’t tasted it either.

I put a piece in my mouth and ate it.

Red, ripe watermelon.

The first taste of watermelon this summer is… … .

“and!”

Cool, sweet and delicious.

Could there be a better expression than this?

As soon as I put it in my mouth and chewed, the sweetness of the watermelon quenched my thirst.

As expected, it was the king of summer fruits.

The juice that burst out with every bite seemed to soak my spine.

‘What is this?’

The reason was quickly apparent.

[watermelon]

*situation

─Top class

*effect

─Quench your thirst

─Heat resistance

It was so effective that I had to eat it in the summer.

Well, there was no taste to it.

Not just any watermelon, but a watermelon that is truly packed with sweetness.

If someone were to taste this on its own, they would mistake it for honey.

No wonder the wild animals wander aimlessly around even though there is plenty of food.

and…….

“Is there anyone who doesn’t eat this delicious food?”

He shook his head as he looked at Rangi, and stopped reaching for the watermelon once more.

At this rate, I’m going to eat it all.

I came to my senses and thought about manufacturing again.

First of all, for Baekgu and Tori, there was no need to make something separate, so I made a flower arrangement with diced watermelon and other fruits.

Baekgu can’t eat grapes, so I left them out, and Tori doesn’t really have anything he likes, so I put them all in.

Of course, I didn’t add any cider or milk.

It might be too much for people to eat, but it was just right for these kids.

Finally, the effect is a mix of the previously mentioned reverse radiating energy, charisma, and camouflage.

[Watermelon hwachae]

*effect

─Quench your thirst

─Heat resistance

─The tiger’s momentum

Then, the ‘Tiger’s Momentum’ effect was obtained.

Shararang~

The auras of the effect flew around the guys eating the flowers.

And… … At that moment, a tiger’s face appeared among those auras.

It made me cringe.

“… … This is good?”

It seemed to be more effective than expected.

The duration of effect is also one week.

Perhaps it was because the watermelons grew up with plenty of energy from the garden that they were in such good condition.

“With this, I don’t have to worry about wild animals, right?”

I was a little worried, but fortunately it turned out okay.

Then I guess I should give it to Rangi too.

This time I decided to make juice instead of vegetable soup.

It was simple. I already had the watermelon flesh with the seeds removed, so all I had to do was blend it with ice.

Woohoo!!

Watermelon smoothie, freshly blended in a blender.

I took out a little bit and mixed it with Rangi’s favorite snack, Churu.

“Here. Try this.”

Wham~

I was a little disappointed with the watermelon, but I ate it anyway because it had churu mixed in.

and…….

Wham!

Rangido also gained the tiger’s momentum effect.

After eating one churu, I saw a real tiger in the back of the cat walking away with confidence.

In reality, it was just the back of a cute and insignificant cat.

“… … Well, it suits you well.”

It suited me the best.

Anyway, I created this tiger garden guard.

Now all that remains is to find out what that wild beast is… … .

“Should I call PD Ko Dong-seok at least once?”

Since he is an expert in that field, I think he will be able to find and solve the problem well… … .

But I stopped for now because I thought I might be calling it something trivial for no reason.

And, as the village chief said, I gave up on the idea of ​​hunting wild animals alone.

The situation was different with wasps.

It was truly an emergency at that time.

Wild boars are like that, but other wild animals cannot be ignored just because they are small.

“I wish it would just pass quietly.”

I wish things could just pass by peacefully, like a cup of coffee in the morning.

* * *

A few days later.

Fortunately, time passed without incident.

No, it seemed to pass by.

Ding, ding, ding

As usual, the door opens before the guests arrive.

“Welcome… … please.”

I was embarrassed without realizing it.

There were two guests, a man and a woman.

One is the familiar face, the other is the aura seen around them.

“Hello, boss!”

“Oh, yes. We’ve met before, right?”

The female guest was Kang Na-yoon.

Fortunately, the curse did not seem to have been applied again, and Aura’s condition was clear.

The problem wasn’t this person, it was the man next to him.

He was a man of short stature with a handsome face. Looking at him alone, it seemed like there wouldn’t be any problems, but… … .

‘Ice cream?’

What the heck is that?

[Kang Do-yoon]

*situation

─Fox’s spirit possession

─Weakness, hunger

It was clearly written like that.

The soul has been possessed!

Moreover, as evidence, not only was it dull, but the shape of the aura was strange.

Unlike the usual clouds that float around in a fuzzy manner, something appeared and then disappeared.

It’s like the auras seen in Baekgu, Rangi, and Tori who gained the ‘Tiger’s Momentum’ effect.

“Oh! This is my younger brother. He’s a pretty famous actor, but I wonder if you know him?”

“Are you an actor? Kang Do-yoon… … .”

“Oh! That’s right. Kang Do-yoon! You know me! I didn’t recognize you before either, so I was wondering if you might be able to, but you know me, don’t you?”

No, I just meant what I saw in the text box?

Then, Kang Do-yoon taps his younger brother and says, “Wouldn’t it be nice?”

I felt it back then, but people really have different senses of distance.

By the way, does Kang Na-yoon not know anything about her younger brother’s condition? Well, it’s possible that she doesn’t know since only I can see it.

So does that mean that the condition is like that and there is no strange behavior?

“I’m telling you this just in case… … My younger sibling hasn’t been feeling well lately. He usually has a hard time getting into a role, but this time it’s a bit worse.”

Well, it’s not like she didn’t think about it. It seems like she was thinking about it and acting like that. Maybe it was her own consideration?

By the way.

“Because you’re immersed?”

“Yes. So please understand if it looks a little strange. Of course, I will continue to watch from the side.”

I could tell that my guess that there would be no strange behavior from Kang Na-yoon who came quietly and whispered was wrong.

Iceberg… … .

Well, there was a curse, so I can’t say I don’t believe it.

‘What should I do about that?’

Worries arise naturally.

At that moment, Kang Do-yoon, who was looking around anxiously, suddenly discovered Rangi.

Okay then.

“Hic?!”

He ran outside in shock.

“Hey! Do-yoon Kang!”
