I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 141
Only Krnovel
Episode 141
I displayed all the talents that seemed to allow me to communicate with the spirit of the fox.
I somehow felt like if I did it that way, the conversation would make sense.
Still, perhaps because I’ve experienced so many unrealistic and mysterious things like wild boars and queen bees, I’ve accepted the current situation well.
Compared to those two, the spirit of the fox trapped in the statue is rather docile.
‘If I hadn’t taken it out of Kang Do-yoon’s body earlier, I wouldn’t have known.’
Anyway, I tried to communicate with the fox spirit by using my talents for resonance and senses to the fullest extent.
“Where is your body?”
Woohoo~
“No? Yeah, I guess so.”
If it exists, is it the body and not the soul that has come?
So how did you deal with the frost in your garden?
“Ah, ice.”
It is said that before he was possessed by Kang Do-yoon, he was possessed by another wild beast.
However, at that time, it was difficult to control it properly even if you were possessed, so you moved it soon after.
‘And the person who moved in recently is said to be Kang Do-yoon.’
The reason, as expected, is that he was possessed by Kang Do-yoon’s possessed acting.
As expected, talent was the cause.
By the way.
“You came back here for the watermelon? If you’re hungry, you can just eat something else.”
Woof! Woof!
The guy who usually reacted timidly reacted a little more intensely this time, as if he had to do it that way.
“Do you want to eat watermelon that much?”
Whew Whew!
“Then what are you going to do after you eat all of that?”
In fact, knowing where I came from and what I wanted to do was just a stepping stone to finding out.
What should be done with the fox’s soul? Or how should it be dealt with?
That’s what I asked.
Perhaps because similar things had happened twice before, it seemed unlikely that the fox’s spirit would just flow in here.
The boar gets the brownie, and the queen bee gets the bongbongi.
Came for something, or with a purpose.
And with that goal accomplished, both of them left in peace. So I hope the fox’s soul will be like that too.
And after achieving that goal, I hope you can rest comfortably.
Anyway, you are a guest at the tiger shelter.
Woof!
“You wanted to sleep? Was it too noisy?”
Whew Whew!
“Eat your fill and take a long nap… … .”
There’s a guy at our cafe who’s good at that.
Two of them too.
Swish.
I turned my head and saw Rangi and Baekgu.
Now that I look at it, the ‘Tiger’s Momentum’ effect is gone.
If that’s the case… … !
‘no.’
I couldn’t just randomly send the fox spirit to them. I didn’t know what would happen.
… … Yes, it wasn’t an easy decision to make. So let’s be a little more careful.
“Before that, let me hear your story. How did you live and how did you end up like this?”
For the first time, the fox’s spirit remained silent and did not answer.
I don’t know if he was recalling the memory or if he didn’t have a proper answer, but he waited for the time being.
Not long after, the fox statue began to vibrate.
But this time, it wasn’t just a vibration. Auras were gathering around him.
That’s immersion!
Yeah, it was similar to when I wrote Immersion. But what should I say, the point of view is different?
The immersion I write about is going into memories. However, the immersion that the fox spirit writes about seems to be the type that shows the story in reverse.
It’s like watching TV.
‘Was there a way like this?’
I was quite surprised, but for now I just focused on what the fox spirit was showing me.
Certainly, the sense of realism was lacking, unlike the immersion I wrote about. Should I say that the clumps of aura were somewhat visible?
It felt like I was looking at a webtoon with drawings that were just drawn along random lines without much sincerity.
‘Actually, it doesn’t seem to be much different from just the auras moving.’
Maybe that’s why it seemed like the auras, though weak, had a sense of self and were acting.
“Is that you?”
Woof!
Fortunately, the main character recognized it right away.
Aura, who was presumed to be a fox while alive, was running around happily.
It was a place that was presumed to be somewhere in nature, whether it was a mountain or a field.
Sleep, eat, and sleep again.
The fox lived happily with nature as his friend and home.
however…….
Kuku Palace!
An ominous red aura appeared at first glance.
That aura colored the surroundings like that.
As nature became devastated, the fox avoided him and moved further and further away.
And then I got hungry.
I couldn’t even take a nap after eating my fill.
Swish!
With that appearance, the auras that the fox spirit had been showing disappeared.
“… … I lost my home.”
Woof!
It seemed clear to the fox that he had lost the place where he had lived his entire life to something.
I ended up like this after wandering around like that, it seems I was too hungry and had a longing for naps.
“Don’t you feel resentful? That it was taken from you?”
Huh?
The fox spirit spoke as if it had no idea what he was talking about.
Was it because you were so innocent that you didn’t even feel that way?
The guy was just hungry and needed a comfortable place to take a nap.
And that place happened to be the tiger shelter.
After hearing the story, I made up my mind.
What should I do with this child?
Of course, as I said before, since this was something that had never happened before, no one knew what the outcome would be.
but.
“good.”
He held up the fox statue and spoke firmly.
“Come into my body and do it.”
Woof!?
The fox’s soul shook violently, as if startled by my words.
As if to ask if that’s really okay.
It felt sad because it was similar to the reaction of someone who has no friends and asks to be friends.
“Okay. Come in.”
He spoke while holding the statue.
I don’t know exactly how possession happens. But in Kang Do-yoon’s case, it happened while he was acting possessed.
So I used my talents for acting and immersion at the same time.
Wooooow!!
That moment!
An aura burst out from the fox statue… … .
Swish!
It was absorbed into me as it was.
Although I had made up my mind, I became a little nervous when the fox spirit entered me.
He also prepared to use his native talents at any time in case of an unexpected situation.
however…….
“huh?”
It stings!
Suddenly my cheeks felt stinging.
It felt like I had been stung by a bee, but at the same time, I felt refreshed.
what?
─Queen Bee’s Mark
Ah! Is this why?
But why is this all of a sudden… … Could it be that the iceberg didn’t work?
“Fox?”
Just in case, I called out to the statue, but there was no answer.
It wasn’t that she was silent because she was trying to recall memories like before, it was just because the fox’s soul was gone.
Then it seems like the fox’s spirit has entered me… … .
Shararang~ Pong!
An aura suddenly emerged from the palm of his hand and soon took shape.
It was the exact appearance of a fox.
It was quite small, similar in size to a brownie, but it was definitely more realistic than when it looked fluffy earlier.
“So that’s what happened.”
Thanks to the queen bee’s mark, it seemed like I was more like a brownie than a bee.
The fox jumped around in the air as if it too was curious.
Then I found a brownie and ran over to it.
Kuru?
Squeak~!
Then he suddenly turned over on his stomach and started acting cute towards Brownie.
That’s the fox’s charm that will have you captivated the moment you see it!
‘I understand why you call me fox, fox.’
How can you not fall for it when it’s wagging its plump tail, smiling and rolling around so cutely?
Brownie looked a bit embarrassed at first, but soon accepted the fox.
But is it over like this?
Well, that’s good, but it’s good.
Thanks to this queen bee sign, it seemed like the fox’s spirit was appeased without any of the problems I had been worried about.
No, are you trying to appease me?
The guy who was being cute to Brownie was being cute to the other Auras as well.
And it came to me too.
“Okay. While you’re here, make yourself comfortable here.”
Even though I couldn’t do what I wanted to do while I was alive, I guess I can do it with this appearance.
Squeak~
The fox’s spirit rubbed its head against his cheek as if expressing gratitude.
Honestly, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried.
But I was so glad that it worked out so well.
“Aren’t you hungry? What should I eat?”
Squeak~
I felt like she was just asking for something, so I went into the kitchen and offered a piece of watermelon to Fox Aura.
Then… … .
Crunchy! Crunchy!
Surprisingly, the fox aura ate a piece of watermelon.
That too, very delicious.
“Is it real?”
No? It’s definitely made of aura.
With Sharia~
As if to answer that question, a piece of aura came out of the fox and was absorbed into me.
>Fox beads
The piece of aura that entered the body remained in place in the shape of a small bead.
And when you eat watermelon, the aura fills the bead.
‘Can you save a watermelon by turning it into an aura?’
No, it didn’t seem to be just watermelon.
“Want to try this too?”
Squeak~!
I also tried a Shai Muscat.
As expected, I ate well.
And that too was saved as an aura.
Of course, the amount wasn’t much.
Compared to what you get by healing a guest with a bad aura.
Still, it was clearly a tremendous talent to be able to fill the aura in this way.
Because it’s a new way to save aura.
‘There are a lot of things to use Aura for these days anyway.’
That’s good.
“Please take care of me.”
Squeak~
She acts cute again, as if asking for more favors.
Now that it’s come to this, I guess I should give this guy a name too?
In my experience, naming things has always been a good thing.
“What would be good? Hmm… … Ah! Miho, what do you think?”
Squeak!
It wagged its tail as if it liked it.
“Okay. Now you are Miho.”
Woohoo!!
The aura of the fox that would become Miho vibrated.
And then it burst out with an explosive burst of light… … !
Sarak!
It has an extra tail.
“Two tails?”
I didn’t mean to, but I hope my tail doesn’t keep growing like this and I turn into a nine-tailed fox.
Before I could even question it, some of the aura that Miho had been giving off earlier seeped into me.
>Miho’s embodiment
And gave me a new talent.
There is no fox that gives without reserve.
Hahah~
“Are you sleepy? Then, go somewhere in the open space and rest. People won’t be able to see you, so you can rest comfortably.”
Squeak~
Miho yawned as if she was full after eating two slices of watermelon and one Shine Muscat grape.
You said napping was something he liked, right? There were plenty of bright, restful spots in the vacant lot that he liked.
Miho must have already seen it, because she went out right away.
And then he sat down on one side and immediately started to doze off.
Shararang~
An aura emerged from Miho, who had taken a nap, and lingered around.
It seemed like another guy had come to bring positive energy to the shelter.
“Good.”
“Huh? What do you like so much?”
Kang Na-yoon asked when Miho had come, muttering while looking at her. Han Song-i was also next to her.
By the way, how close have these two become?
“Whoa~! I slept well!”
At that moment, Kang Do-yoon, who had been sleeping as if he had fainted while lying face down on the table by the window, woke up.
Kang Na-yoon, who had seemed happy until just now, became slightly nervous at that sight… … .
“Huh? What is this?”
“Kang Do-yoon. Are you okay?”
“Huh? Sister? Where am I?”
“You don’t remember that either?”
“Uh… … I think so too, but what is it? I just had a really pleasant dream? In it, I was like a fox and I was running around? Have I been here before?”
I was a little surprised by Kang Do-yoon’s words. Fortunately, it didn’t seem like he was possessed again.
‘Did the memories briefly share in the dream because of Miho’s remains?’
I think so.
At that moment! Kang Na-yoon hit the back of Kang Do-yoon’s head, telling him to stop talking nonsense.
Bam!
“Wake up, kid! Do you know how much I suffered to get here because of you?”
“Hey, sis. I didn’t dream just now, I heard the sound of a bell breaking!”
Kang Do-yoon ran away while grabbing the back of his head. But unfortunately, it was me who ran away.
“uh?”
My eyes met with those of Kang Do-yoon, who was running quickly towards me.
Then, Kang Do-yoon stopped and stared blankly, forgetting that he was running away.
