I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 146



Only Krnovel

Episode 146

The wood to be made into the sign was cut to an appropriate size.

And I sharpened it so that it wasn’t too sharp in case you touched it or something.

Thanks to my woodworking talent, I was able to do it without difficulty.

Of course, it took quite some time.

“What’s important is the effect.”

I took a look at the talents in my text window.

And among them, I picked out the ones that would be good to put on the sign.

First of all, it is a warning and a cautionary phrase, so it should catch your eye.

I think charm should be included… … .

‘As expected, the sign is the momentum.’

Brownie’s reverse radiating force was also checked as one of the candidates.

Kuru~

“Yeah, yeah.”

As his talent was noted, Brownie rubbed his head against my cheek, feeling pleased.

He patted the guy’s head and chose the next candidate.

Acting, camouflage, embodiment.

“Do you think this would work if I combined them well?”

For some reason, my eyes were drawn to these three talents.

Isn’t there something like that?

A method of placing the back of a CD so that it shines in the sunlight to scare away wild animals that destroy the fields.

I also saw methods of collecting tiger dung and spreading it around, or recording the sound and playing it.

Of course, since this isn’t about chasing wild animals, that won’t work.

People cannot distinguish the smell of feces, and even if they heard the sound of diarrhea, they did not feel any danger because there are no tigers in the mountains of our country.

But with Manseonggong’s talent, it seemed like it could be done that way.

“Couldn’t we apply these effects to warning texts to make them more uncomfortable to read and pass over?”

A little bit of conscience.

That’s what touches it.

Like the CCTV and warning signs in unmanned stores.

Of course, it would be impossible to install CCTV cameras in every single place. Even if we did, there would be nothing we could do with them.

So, I had no choice but to leave it to my conscience as much as possible.

‘This is like a totem, you know.’

If you keep it, there’s no problem, but if you break it, you’ll feel uneasy all day. If you want that kind of effect, I was drawn to this combination.

I also chose other effects with water.

After determining the effect appropriately, I tried to harmonize it.

I hope it comes out closer to the desired effect.

‘This is ambiguous, and that is also a bit… … .’

Following coffee blending, I had to do some non-labor work.

This was more difficult and time-consuming than processing the wood to be used as a sign.

“… …Should I take a break?”

Fortunately, there were no guests today.

Is it because it’s an ambiguous date to use for vacation?

Since the weekend is coming soon, it would be better to continue writing from then.

That also meant that if we didn’t get this done now, there could be real chaos this weekend.

“This is not the time.”

I made up my mind to take a short break.

And I made some mint coffee to recharge my batteries.

It was similar to a mint latte, except without the milk.

I added mint tea to the hand drip coffee, then squeezed mint juice into it.

‘It smells good.’

Just smelling the scent brought peace to my anxious mind. My head also became clearer.

As expected, when people are in a hurry, things don’t work out. With my head clear like this, my thinking has actually become faster.

“harmony.”

This time, I used charm, reverse radiance, charisma, camouflage, acting, and embodiment.

Okay then.

>The tiger’s territory

Finally, a plausible effect was achieved.

‘area?’

If the effect means a place ruled by a tiger… …then it also means that a tiger is watching.

So, people might cringe when they see this.

“No one camps where there are bears and tigers.”

This seemed like it would work. In the end, the combination I had initially thought of was right.

So now the question is how can we put all these effects into the sign… … .

Well, there were many ways to do that.

First, by consuming Aura, you can infuse three talents: Sacrifice, Faith, and Overcoming.

And another one for your drawing talent.

The remaining two are actually blown by Brownie and Miho, so they don’t require any additional mediating talent.

Then, one is completed like this.

“… … Sounds plausible?”

A warning message written along with a picture of a tiger’s face.

-Please take all the trash you brought back with you. If you leave it behind, the tiger will be hurt.

The wording may seem a little weak, but when you actually look at it, you won’t think so.

Because the tiger’s territory effect made it feel like the tiger was in pain and was going to punish you for hurting him.

“A tiger is circling.”

Sometimes, Rangi bites my hand and kicks me with his hind legs as a joke, and it hurts quite a bit.

Because their claws and teeth are sharp like needles. Then what about tigers?

‘Didn’t you say that the dog in that house barks and the tiger in our house tears?’

It was an article I had seen somewhere.

I heard it was said on a variety show, so I thought maybe that’s what the warning message is about.

“Then this too is ready.”

I only finished one, but I was still proud of it.

As for the rest, I just need to make it together with the volunteer group members when they come and I can just focus on the effects.

And then all I had to do was install this in parts and I was done.

The effect lasts for about a week, so it would be good to blow it on once every time you have a volunteer meeting.

So… … I decided to take a short break while people were coming.

“I feel so exhausted from the morning.”

I took a bite and then took a sip of the mint coffee next to it.

The refreshing scent of mint permeating the rich aroma of coffee wakes up your head.

But because I was exhausted, I quickly fell asleep. I’ve never felt this way while working…

Should I sleep for a bit?

It seemed like it had to be that way.

Boo~ Boo~

I closed my eyes as I watched Bongbong flying in after a long time.

I fell asleep. And I had a dream.

* * *

It was a strange dream.

I was in a vacant lot surrounded by mountains, and strangely enough, I could feel everything around me.

Mountains above the open space and a river below.

It was as if I was the center of the place.

I woke up from that strange feeling.

“Hmm?”

When I woke up, my body felt strangely heavy. To be exact, should I say it was a feeling of stuffiness?

Is this because I had a dream just now where I had such a wide space under my feet?

Boo~ Boo~

I came to my senses and looked ahead at the sound of Bongbong moving back and forth in front of my eyes.

Looking outside, it seemed like quite some time had passed.

‘I slept more than I thought.’

The dream seemed to have only lasted a moment… … I woke up and cleaned up my surroundings.

“Oh, right. Long time no see, huh?”

Boo~

I didn’t forget to say hello to Bongbong.

For a while, Bongbong was not seen. I thought it was probably because he was trying to expand his power, so I didn’t bother looking for him.

Even if that weren’t the case, I thought he might be busy with work because he’s been collecting a lot of honey lately.

So it’s been a while.

Looking closely, it seemed a bit big.

The queen bee wasn’t originally small, but it’s a bit bigger now.

“You must have eaten a lot of honey?”

Boo~

“Are you going to rest and go this time?”

Bongbong stopped talking and told me to open my front pocket quickly.

I opened the front pocket of my apron with a smirk. Then the guy went in with only his butt sticking out and didn’t move an inch.

Knock knock!

Wince!

When I touched his yellow and black bee-striped butt, he squirmed and told me not to bother him.

Are you tired? I decided not to touch you any more since you seemed to want to rest.

What have you been doing?

‘Come to think of it, you came before I fell asleep. Did you protect me too?’

I’m not sure, but I have a feeling it might be the case.

So I decided not to touch it anymore and just let it rest.

It had to be that way anyway.

“mister!”

“Huh? You’re here already?”

“Already!? What a long day it’s been today.”

Was it? It seemed unusually short for me, but it wasn’t for Su-ah.

Huh? No? It’s not time to come to school yet.

I thought I slept too much, but it wasn’t that much.

“Why are you here so early? To school?”

“Hehehe! Starting today, we have shortened classes until summer vacation~!”

“… … Really? And you said I had a hard time earlier?”

“Heh!”

I couldn’t help but snicker because it was so absurd.

But it’s almost vacation time, I’m a little jealous.

“What are you going to do during the vacation? You have to keep tutoring, right?”

“Oh, right! I need to consult with you about that!”

“Counseling? What kind of counseling?”

“I’ll tell you that later!”

What, why is that a secret?

I’m even more curious.

Boyfriend? I hear that elementary school students these days are dating and seeing each other often.

‘… … It’s impossible to give relationship advice. You should ask Doyoon instead.’

Because Kang Do-yoon is a handsome actor.

Well, it didn’t really have any other meaning.

Is it some kind of conceptual image that comes from looking at someone? Someone who seems like they would be good at giving relationship advice?

anyway.

“i envy you.”

“What is it?”

“It’s vacation time.”

“You can rest too, sir. Take your own summer vacation.”

“That’s true, though.”

I don’t really feel like doing that?

It’s still fun now.

What I was jealous of was just the vacation time that only people of that age could have.

“Want something cold?”

“Yes! Mincho!”

“pooh?”

“Yes~!”

Now our breathing is very smooth.

I quickly made a cool mincho-pu and gave it to her. And as I was chatting with Su-ah like that, all the members of the volunteer group gathered.

That too had two more people added.

These are the new members, police officers Lee Seo-jun and Kang Do-yoon.

“I’m sorry I can’t help you today. I’m at work.”

“It’s okay. Please come by whenever you have time while you’re working. It’s not really mandatory.”

“Haha! Yes, I understand. Then, thank you for your hard work.”

Lee Seo-jun just said hello and left.

Since I was on patrol, I had to leave quickly. As a result, only one person was added.

Me, Suah, Suho, Han Songi, Lee Seonah, and Kang Doyoon.

There were six of us like this.

“I’ve almost finished making the sign. This is an example. One of you and I will draw the picture, and the rest of you, can you write some text?”

“yes!”

I made more signs following the signs I had made.

It was done quickly because there were several people doing it.

There the effect was blown in while I pretended to check it out for the final time.

‘… … This is no joke?’

I understand why you fell asleep like that earlier.

It was really exhausting to blend so many talents at once.

It was like I was like cotton soaked in water for a moment.

Fortunately, I recovered a little bit… … .

I can’t use it too often.

Naturally, since I used the talents of sacrifice, belief, and overcoming, my aura was also consumed quite a bit.

“Are you okay?”

“Oh, yes. That’s fine. Now, let’s go install this.”

I told Hansong, who was worried, that it was okay.

It was tough, but I was able to endure it.

I decided to stop here today since I could just install this and go home and rest.

This time, I made a group with Jo, Su-ah, Han Song-yi, Su-ho, Lee Sun-ah, and Kang Do-yoon.

And we decided to install signs in places where many people visit, mainly near the stream that runs along the village.

Hansong and I decided to come down from the furthest place.

“Shall we start from there? That’s where someone used the battery while fishing before.”

“Really?”

And while talking with Hansong, we installed the first sign together.

however.

Shararang~

Auras gathered around the sign.

‘Huh? Why them?’

It’s a bit far from the cafe, but why are the auras visible here?

The effect has already been achieved?

Pot!!

The gathered auras seeped into the sign and soon began to emit light.

What is going on here?
