Episode 139

Kang Na-yoon followed Kang Do-yoon outside. I don’t know what’s going on.

“The older sister is a curse, the younger sister is possessed.”

The moment I thought about them as strange siblings, Kang Na-yoon’s talent suddenly came to mind.

Immersion.

I had a bit of a hard time with that too.

“… … Could it be that this happened to those siblings because of their talent?”

It was a sudden thought, but I had a feeling that this might be right.

Because I’ve experienced it too.

I felt this officer’s emotions and even had a dream I had never had before.

It’s not clear yet, but there definitely seems to be a connection…

“But where is that person going?”

And then suddenly, what did he see that made him so surprised that he ran over there?

If it was Lang, he would have been rolling around happily, his stomach peeled.

It’s literally the most harmless thing in the world, but I wonder if it’s because it’s afraid of cats… …

Come to think of it, I forgot about the effect.

That the ‘tiger’s momentum’ is still applied to Rangi.

“It looks like he ran away after seeing you.”

Why?

Rangi answered vaguely, lying down as if nothing was wrong.

Should I kick this guy out?

If things continue like this, it seems like someone named Kang Do-yoon won’t be able to come in here.

‘This is another unexpected situation.’

Guests who came for several days didn’t react much to seeing Rangi.

The same goes for the swan in the backyard right now.

Even when I ran around in the vacant lot, people just laughed and didn’t get scared.

‘Does that mean that he felt something that other people didn’t?’

I don’t know if that has anything to do with the ice thing, but given the circumstances, it doesn’t seem like it would be unrelated.

“What the hell is going on?”

By the way, I couldn’t see the siblings anywhere in the meantime.

Should I go out and look for it too?

The condition is taking some time.

The soul of a fox… … .

‘Let’s go out.’

First of all, I received a blessing from Ssuksuk.

And we used target detection.

But… …what kind of case is this?

Traces of the target, which looked dizzying, continued into the garden.

And to the back mountain too.

“Isn’t this the target of a wild beast that ate watermelon before?”

Why is this connected to that person?

Uh… … No way?

‘That customer came all the way here and broke the watermelon and ate it!?’

I pictured the scene in my head. A young man who looked like he was the head of a weekend drama, digging up a watermelon and eating it right there in the garden while covering himself with dirt… .

‘That’s not it.’

That doesn’t make sense. You can do frostbite, but there’s no reason to do it on the spot.

Besides, the traces were small.

If that’s the case, then it’s possible.

“Is this the spirit of a fox that has become a ghost?”

It wasn’t that far-fetched, considering the spirit of the boar that left the brownie behind.

anyway.

“BongBong, the queen bee, it’s a truly unpredictable place.”

I quickly went outside.

I definitely needed that person to sort things out.

Luckily, I could see two people down the path.

“I said let’s just take a quick break.”

“Oh, no. It’ll work.”

“What are you talking about? Do-yoon, you’re not like that anymore. That was just an act. Okay?”

“It’ll work. It’ll work… … I’m hungry… … .”

“Yeah. I’m hungry too. Are you hungry too?”

The siblings were having an unknown conversation. So instead of approaching them right away, I listened in on their conversation for a moment to gauge their situation.

The man was obviously afraid of something.

And yet, I was hungry.

‘It seems like they don’t know that they’ve been possessed… But are those siblings hungry even if they’re cursed, and are they hungry even if they’ve been possessed?’

It was an absurd result, but I got a little bit of an idea.

The man, that is, the fox spirit that had become possessed, seemed to be afraid because of the effect it had on Rangi.

So it seemed necessary to resolve that first.

‘Acting, camouflage, charm.’

He displayed these three talents.

Many auras gather together to express talent.

Then a sweet and delicious smell wafted out.

The fox’s favorite scent filled the path, leading us further and further toward the tiger shelter.

Okay then.

“Sniff sniff!”

As if he had smelled the scent, a reaction came from Kang Do-yoon.

As soon as I confirmed that, I quickly returned to the cafe faster than the smell. Then, I quickly placed Langi in the backyard and closed the door.

Rangi, who was kicked out without even knowing English, had a bewildered expression on his face, but I ignored him as he went to the shade in the backyard and lay down.

He was a guy who really lived comfortably in this world.

Anyway, after a while.

Ding, ding, ding

The door opened and the siblings came in again.

“I’m sorry. I think my brother left something behind.”

“No. Please take a seat and order.”

“Yes. But do you have any watermelon on the menu here? My little brother said he smelled like watermelon earlier… … I don’t think I’ve seen it before.”

It did smell delicious, but I didn’t know what kind of smell it was that Kang Do-yoon, possessed by the spirit of a fox, could smell, but Kang Na-yoon told me, so I figured it out right away.

It looks like the fox’s spirit was the one that frosted that watermelon.

But how did you end up with that guy?

“We also have a watermelon menu. It’s made with watermelon picked from our garden.”

“Oh! Really? Doyoon, there’s watermelon too.”

Even as we were talking, Kang Do-yoon was just looking into the empty space and sniffing.

Anyone who looked at it could not help but think it was a strange sight.

“Brother, are you okay?”

“It’ll be okay… … It’ll be okay. He’s a guy who dives deep into his role, but he’ll get better within a month. And compared to when I played the second generation of a conglomerate last time, this is a real treat.”

“Oh. Is that so? It doesn’t look that good.”

Is it true that ice skating is good to begin with?

Or maybe I just had a hard time getting out of immersion before, and I just got possessed this time.

“My latest role was as a hungry fox demon. Except when she says she’s hungry, she’s still very well-behaved. Compared to when she used to spend money like a real chaebol heir… … .”

“ah.”

That’s true.

That would be a real problem.

“But it’s fortunate that when I’m in that state, I just stay at home and don’t cause any harm to others.”

“Didn’t you say that you spent money when you played the second generation of a conglomerate?”

“Oh, that’s because I played the tycoon game by shopping online.”

How strangely timid and generous.

If Su-Ah was there, she would have said, ‘That’s a capital I!’

“I see. But does that person happen to live around here? I think I’ve seen him before… … .”

I asked because I didn’t know how the traces appeared in the garden.

“No. Oh! I think I did the last filming nearby recently. I haven’t left the house since then because I’ve been like that. If I had seen you, I might have seen you filming.”

“Ah, I see.”

So, did you get possessed by a fox spirit while filming around?

Anyway, should I say that the discussion was healthy? At least that’s fortunate.

First of all, I heard what the situation was.

I also ordered a drink.

Now the question was what to do with that frozen state.

‘I saw earlier that if you try to do something with force, it will run away.’

He ran away even after seeing the tiger, which was literally a paper tiger with only puffed up energy.

So, let’s put on hold any attempt to do something by force or coercion for now.

I came into the kitchen to make a drink and continued my thoughts.

“This time it’s really difficult.”

The spirit of a fox.

That’s also a dream.

First, should I take the soul out of that person’s body? But how?

I was dazed in a different sense from the leisurely morning.

“Fox, fox… … smoke?”

Something popped into my head.

That person said that he was possessed by the spirit of a fox while acting as a fox-related character.

That could mean… … that he had a personality, or a temperament, that made him possessed by something similar to a fox.

“… … Let’s try it.”

It’s deceiving with smoke.

Pretending to be a fox.

Of course, that wasn’t what I was going to do.

I looked toward the backyard.

There was something just right there.

Before that, we decided to make a drink first.

I decided to make it really delicious so that you can let your guard down.

* * *

There are many ways to choose a delicious watermelon, but even watermelon sellers can’t guarantee that it will taste good.

I had to open the watermelon to find out what was inside.

The clear stripes and the crisp, clear sound when tapped!

There is a saying that it is good to have a small belly button, but even that is not 100% true. The probability is high though.

But the crops from the garden were one hundred percent.

There wasn’t a single one that wasn’t delicious or sweet.

Watermelon was the same.

I brought a properly ripe watermelon, not one that was thought to have been eaten by the fox’s spirit.

Maybe because it was kept cool, there was dew on the outside.

Thump~ Thump~

Let’s just give it a whirl and then put the sword back in its sheath!

Bam!

It just split apart.

It meant that the inside was fully cooked.

The split open flesh of the watermelon was proof of this.

Inside a bright red, ripe watermelon.

It seemed to be riper than what the fox’s soul had eaten.

It was a strange metaphor, but it felt like looking at well-cooked meat.

‘Huh? Is it because the fox’s spirit ate the watermelon?’

Inside the red watermelon. And the fox is an omnivore, almost carnivore.

Maybe it’s not completely impossible.

So, you keep saying you’re hungry, but this watermelon… isn’t it almost like the elixir of life?

It seemed like it might be easier to solve than I thought.

The soul of a full fox might let its guard down.

‘Let’s make it quickly.’

Just for confirmation, I decided to focus on this for now.

The remaining half was also separated into shell and flesh.

Square! Square!

There was a strange pleasure in cutting a watermelon.

Is it because it’s so big?

Once you’ve cut it into cubes and cooled it down, you’re ready to go.

Of course, I tasted a piece of the cube.

‘… … I want to eat it all by myself.’

It was so delicious that I wanted to steal it all and eat it all by myself.

When I lived alone in the city, I didn’t have many opportunities to eat watermelon like this.

I felt a bit awkward buying one can by myself.

I bought a pack and ate it when I went to the site, but it was a bit hit and miss, so I don’t have many good memories.

But it felt like all those memories were blown away.

Before I knew it, I was eating the fifth piece and quickly put the next piece down.

I’d rather be possessed by a watermelon than be possessed by a fox.

I quickly removed the seeds and prepared to make a drink.

In fact, it would be no exaggeration to say that there is almost a set formula for making drinks from watermelon.

Smoothies, juices, cereals, and milk.

Watermelon is already sweet enough that you can make a drink on its own without adding honey.

Although it might be a bit of a hassle to get the seeds out… … .

Knock, knock, knock, knock

If you do things without thinking, you will end up doing them all.

If you can use your talents to sow seeds like that, then you are truly ready.

‘Watermelon juice and watermelon latte.’

The juice was made by blending watermelon and pouring it into a cup with ice.

The latte had one more step.

First, I cut it into smaller pieces than before, put it halfway into a cup, and added a little honey on top.

And then pour in the milk and you’re done.

The watermelon didn’t take long to prepare, but the drink came really quickly.

However, not many effects were added.

─Quench your thirst

─Heat resistance

─The outside is the inside

Both have the same effect.

Just in case we could share it.

And then I noticed a new trait.

A car with an outside that is full of charm.

This is something Su-ah says to me sometimes, but I never thought it would be effective.

Anyway, it worked as intended.

‘It’s watermelon juice, but it looks different to the fox spirit.’

If it’s true that the guy is seeing the ‘momentum of a tiger’.

He just brought out the drink.

“The drink you ordered is here.”

Kang Do-yoon, who was dazed, and Kang Na-yoon, who was watching him, simultaneously turned their gazes this way.

Among them, I looked at Kang Do-yoon’s gaze.

The gaze that had been directed at me soon turned to the juice. Then, as if possessed, it began to approach me.

“Wait. I’ll get it.”

“I’m thirsty… … I’m hungry… … .”

“Okay. I said I got it.”

Kang Na-yoon stopped Kang Do-yoon and quickly took the drinks away. Then she put them both down in front of Kang Do-yoon.

He’s quite a glutton, yet he gives all that up.

Kang Do-yoon didn’t refuse and just grabbed both of them and drank them all down.

And as I was looking at it, I sneakily placed a piece of wood on the counter.

It was a fox-shaped sculpture.

It’s like a real fox, with acting, camouflage, and influence, etc.

It was a piece of wood covered in all sorts of deceptive effects… … .

But it didn’t end there, he hollowed out half a watermelon and placed a platter of watermelon slices inside it next to it.

Of course, the effect was added here as well.

Same effect as if it was put directly into a drink.
