I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 143

Episode 143

After a brief break, water lovers headed back to the water’s edge.

This time there were two people instead of three.

Hansong-i was left to rest more.

So now there were more people resting in the shade.

And aura too.

‘Is it fun?’

Kiyung~

Miho, who had followed us here, ran around and played between the water’s edge and the shade.

Brownie doesn’t come out of the cafe very often, but this one didn’t seem to have any of that.

I had a great time and had a great time.

Sometimes even watermelon slices get frosty.

‘But what is embodiment?’

Is this an ability that Miho uses?

That’s like the fox bead effect.

Hmm… … Since it’s been classified as a talent in this life, it must have something to do with aura, right?

I ate some watermelon and lay down in the shade.

This makes me feel like I’m camping. It’s nice. I wish I could have this kind of time often.

By the way, I decided to test my talent for embodiment.

Shararang~

As I raised my hand, auras gathered around me.

And the auras that were inside the body.

‘resonance.’

The auras moved as one, as if dancing.

Then it flew towards me and stuck to me.

The auras stuck to my face as if they were a coating. It just stopped there without any change.

‘Huh? Is that all?’

Shararang~

It’s the end.

No, you’re saying that coating your face is the end of it?

Of course, I didn’t feel uncomfortable or anything because of the aura on my face.

It just felt like I was wearing glasses, but other than that, I don’t know much about it.

It doesn’t seem to have any particular function… … .

“uh?”

At that moment, Han Song-i looked at me and made a slightly surprised expression.

Have you noticed anything has changed?

“Why? What did you ask?”

“Yes. Here are the watermelon seeds I spat out earlier.”

“ah…….”

No, that’s not true.

When I put my finger on the ball that Hansong was pointing at, the watermelon seeds that were stuck fell off.

I was playing a game earlier and I think there was one left.

I scratched my cheek in embarrassment to try to relieve my stress,

“But, boss… … I don’t know why, but the atmosphere feels different? What is it?”

“Me? How have I changed?”

“Hmm. It’s hard to put into words. The boss usually seems like a bit of a Taoist? Something like that. He’s calm, but his eyes have a deep look to them.”

“… …Me?”

I feel like I’ve heard this somewhere before.

Oh, that’s similar to what Kim Jung-hyun said. He also said something like that out of the blue when he saw me after a long time.

But wasn’t that the case even before you acquired the body?

“Yes. But now, she looks really bright. Her eyes are full of excitement and curiosity. Ah! Should I say that she looks exactly like Su-ah? Hmm. No. Rather… … a baby fox? She feels like that.”

For a moment, I almost flinched at Hansong’s words.

I can’t believe that’s what you meant when you said your feelings changed.

I guess using embodied language feels like wearing a kind of mask.

I turned off the emoji for a moment.

“No way.”

“Ah! I feel back to normal again.”

“I guess you’ve been playing in the water for too long. Take a rest.”

“Is that so?”

Hansong tilted her head at my words, but she didn’t doubt it.

Of course not. If you can’t see the aura, how can you know what happened?

Anyway, thanks to that, I got a little feel for what kind of talent Chehwa has.

‘It’s like wearing a mask.’

Of course, I need to find out more details, but this is enough for now.

I think I need to get some rest now.

I lay down without thinking about anything. But then I felt a strangely warm gaze from the side.

“… … Why? Why are you doing that?”

There were two owners of the gaze.

Sia and Kang Do-yoon.

“I want to eat more watermelon.”

“No. You ate too much. You should eat in moderation. Do you have to go to the bathroom often after eating?”

“Tch.”

Sia’s reason was clear.

But why Kang Do-yoon?

“I just wanted to learn that feeling. That feeling of being completely different and then coming back again… … .”

Oh. This guy said he wanted to learn the atmosphere from me?

But it was only natural that the atmosphere would change completely because of the physical transformation.

Of course, I can’t teach you how to do that.

In the first place, this wasn’t an acting technique or anything like that. It really couldn’t be possible.

So I just pretended not to know and closed my eyes.

I didn’t hear it.

I could still feel the hot gaze… … but it was okay because the sunlight coming through the shade was just as hot. I thought of it as just a little bit of hot sunlight.

And soon, sleep came over me.

I felt Sia and Hansong nodding off next to me.

Thanks to that, I also gradually fell into the dream.

* * *

I really had a dream.

This time, I was worried that it might be a dream because I didn’t feel immersed, but fortunately, it wasn’t a dream about re-enlistment.

It was a peaceful dream.

It was a dream where a fox that looked like Miho was happily running around the mountains and fields.

And the dreams that made me feel good just thinking about them made me feel that way even after waking up.

‘Now that I think about it, it’s been a while since I woke up feeling refreshed.’

A brief break on a summer day must have been as sweet as honey.

The day that was so unusually short ended and the next day, it was back to normal life.

I went for a walk in the morning feeling very refreshed since I didn’t dream about re-enlisting.

“You’re serializing a webtoon now?”

“Oh, it’s not serialized yet. I’ve finished working on the story up to Part 1.”

You’re explaining it as a launch or something… What’s different? Honestly, I don’t really understand.

“Is that so? Anyway, congratulations. I’ll definitely look for it when it’s serialized later.”

“Please be sure to like and rate it too?”

“of course.”

Anyway, I heard good news this morning.

Wasn’t this a webtoon that was being prepared even after coming here? It’s not serialized yet, but they said that the first part of the story has been completed, so it should be out soon.

“Then what about collaborating with Kim Ha-na?”

“I’ve handed over the story, so now I’m going to start preparing for the real launch there too.”

“I guess it’s going to be launched in line with the serialization?”

“yes!”

I hope it works out because it’s a win-win situation for both of us. But somehow I had a feeling it would work out.

While I was walking and having a small talk with Hansong-i, I noticed someone on the bridge.

“Huh? Isn’t that Suah?”

“Huh? I think so. Suah~”

Hansong-i also seemed to see it that way, so she approached him, waving her hand.

As expected, it was Su-ah on the bridge. It seems she came out a little early today.

Are you excited about summer vacation coming up soon? What were you doing there?

“Do you want to play in the water from the morning?”

“Sir! Look at that.”

“huh?”

The memories of playing in the water were so strong that I felt like I was going to wake up in the morning because of that, but then Su-ah suddenly pointed under the bridge.

I saw a scene of a stream flowing gently.

It was a beautiful sight with the morning sunlight sparkling on the waves.

Is this what you want me to see? But why do you have such a serious expression?

“Can’t you see it? That thing.”

“Huh? What’s there?”

I don’t think you saw it, so I’ll point it again.

So this time I took a closer look… … and I saw a fish.

But the condition didn’t look good.

It looked as if it had been washed ashore, as if it had stopped moving.

Is he dead?

“uh?”

But the bigger problem was that there were more than one or two such fish.

Surely the water was very clean when we were playing in it?

There weren’t any dead fish floating around.

“Why are there so many of them?”

“I’ve been watching it for a while now and it seems to be increasing.”

“Really? Wait a minute. I need to tell the village chief about this right away.”

That water isn’t used for drinking, but it wouldn’t be good if there was a problem with the stream in front of the village.

I quickly left a text message for the village chief and told Su-ah to go to school first.

If there is a problem, the village chief will call someone to take action.

“I’m going to go now too~”

After breaking up with Hansong, I also came up to the cafe.

Kiyung~

Miho was the first to fly in and greet me.

It seems like he didn’t follow me home and just waited here.

“did you sleep well?”

Miho’s wish is to sleep well and eat well.

In that sense, it seems like this place was really good, and I feel really good.

Miho also became a member of the family by chance, and it was nice to see her. It seemed like she had become quite close with Brownie as well.

“I’m glad you’re doing well.”

Of course, the garden wasn’t a good thing.

I went out to the backyard to ventilate the cafe… … and as soon as I opened the door, a Shine Muscat grape rolled around.

“haha…….”

It looked like Miho had eaten something again during the night.

Fortunately, I didn’t eat much, so I think I was barely able to finish one Shine Muscat cherries and left it like this.

It’s okay now, but I was worried that it might become a problem later on since I might eat more than this.

“Miho. Come here.”

Kiyung~

Miho flew in without knowing anything.

But he must have been perceptive, because he saw a Shine Muscat grape rolling around and immediately took a bite.

And then he gathered his forelegs and looked at me with deep eyes.

‘I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy.’

For a moment, I thought I should pass on it because it was cute.

But this could be a problem not only for our garden, but also for other gardens.

Miho doesn’t particularly mind going outside the cafe.

“I’ll give you something to eat, so don’t eat anything hanging like this. Got it?”

Kiyung!

“You really said you understood? If you do this again, I’ll get in trouble?”

Kkeuyung~ Kkeuyung~

“okay.”

Of course, I didn’t scold him outright.

I heard somewhere that animals cannot connect the accident with themselves being scolded unless they are scolded at the moment of the accident.

Even though Miho seemed to understand everything I said, this time it got to the point where I couldn’t help but let it go.

It’s not entirely my fault for not packing anything for you.

“Okay. You eat all of this.”

Kiyung!

I washed the fallen Shine Muscat grapes in water and gave them to Miho.

Since he’s not a big eater, I thought he could eat this all day.

After resolving that minor incident, I went back to looking around the garden.

Other than the accident Miho had, there didn’t seem to be any major problems.

Sararak~

“Okay. Good morning.”

After exchanging greetings with Ssuk-Ssuk, I checked the coffee cherries attached to him.

Now that number has decreased considerably.

Although we have secured a lot of coffee beans, it is still disappointing to see them reduced like this.

When will the fruit ripen again?

“great job.”

Still, I didn’t forget to thank Ssuksuk.

If coffee beans run out, there will be another way.

And you can find it now. There was no need to worry from the beginning.

So we came inside to harvest and wash the remaining coffee cherries.

however.

“huh?”

Two familiar faces crossing the vacant lot.

It was Lee Sun-ah and Kang Do-yoon.

Dingle~ Dingle~

“Welcome~ What brings you here this morning?”

After washing up, I went out to the counter and greeted the two people.

Oh, I decided to talk to Kang Do-yoon.

I didn’t really plan on doing that, but Kang Do-yoon insisted on doing it. I didn’t really have a reason to refuse, so I decided to do it.

“I just picked some plums.”

“Oh! You do plums too?”

I clapped my hands at Lee Seon-ah’s words.

There was really nothing that was not there in the village chief’s field.

I also need to work harder.

By the way, Kang Do-yoon… … He was originally thin and a bit short, so he had a small build, but today for some reason he looked even weaker.

“How is the farm work?”

“… … I feel like I’m going to die.”

Kang Do-yoon eventually decided to work in the village chief’s field instead of working at the cafe.

They said they decided to take care of accommodations at the village chief’s house since there were many rooms there.

Instead, I heard there is one condition.

“I have to go to the gym in the afternoon… … Please save me… … .”

“Haha! That’s the condition?”

That was it.

After seeing Kang Do-yoon’s body, he dragged him to the gym.

Farm work in the morning, gym in the afternoon.

In this way, the new residents of the village tried to become healthy in both body and mind.

“Just rest here. The village chief won’t chase you if you come here.”

“yes…….”

Kang Do-yoon sat down with a thud.

By the way, seeing Lee Seon-ah reminded me of what happened this morning.

“Seon-ah. Have you heard anything from the village chief? About the stream.”

“Oh, I came here to tell you that anyway.”
