I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 160



Only Krnovel

Episode 160

Before making the drink, I first thought about the effects I wanted.

First of all, it seemed like it would be good to give Ahn Chi-hyeok growth, patience, and perseverance.

It was a nice effect, as it gave me hope again by catching the scammer and getting my money back.

‘I think Kim Do-hyuk will also help separately.’

It seemed that all that was needed here was a little more mental and physical stability to calm the surprised mind.

And I thought that my younger siblings would have a similar effect to Ahn Chi-hyuk.

His mother is the problem… … .

Since he seemed surprised, I decided to add some exercise to help calm his mind and body and help his sore legs a little.

And also having a soft exterior, strong interior, and tenacity.

What I felt from this incident is that Ahn Chi-hyuk is still too young to shoulder all the burden.

Of course, it was bound to be overwhelming. So, my mother also needed to become stronger so that we could rely on each other more.

So, I added the Moon Ilji Ship effect as well.

Kim Hye-joo pioneered her own life with this talent.

I don’t expect that much from Ahn Chi-hyeok’s mother, but I hope it will help.

After deciding on the effect, I also chose the menu.

This time, starting with Mother and Ahn Chi-hyuk.

“Mint coffee would be nice.”

Coffee is good for the two of us who need various effects, so I decided to add mint to it, which is good for calming the mind and body.

And there was something decided for the younger siblings.

These were menus that contained cool fruits.

It was summer, and everyone except Ahn Chi-hyuk was a student and young, so this seemed better than coffee.

Now that I have quite a few different types of fruit coming from my garden, I decided to make one for each type.

From grape juice, lemonade, watermelon juice, and even cantaloupe sorbet.

“The menu is here.”

Since I had already made them all, I finished them quickly.

“This is for Mom and Chihyuk. And for this side, you younger siblings can choose whatever you want to eat.”

“There’s no need to make it so different when it’s so hands-on… … .”

“They’re all similar. This is coffee with mint, and I think it’ll taste better than you think. Do you not like mint?”

“Oh my! I had mint coffee somewhere before… … It was good then.”

“That’s good. It might be a little different, but I think you’ll be okay.”

In the meantime, Ahn Chi-hyeok’s mother seemed to have calmed down a bit, and her voice returned to normal from the sobbing she had just heard. Of course, her eyes were still red.

Is it the strength of a mother who cannot continue crying in front of her children?

“thank you.”

“thank you.”

The younger siblings, who still couldn’t realize how serious the matter was, and the younger sibling wearing the school uniform who seemed to know a little, shared drinks with each other while expressing their gratitude.

‘Hmm… … This one doesn’t have a good aura either.’

I didn’t see it before, but the other siblings were okay, but the sibling in uniform didn’t have a very good aura.

Of course, it was better than Ahn Chi-hyeok and his mother.

Is it because I know the family situation to some extent?

It was truly admirable, but also sad, that he had matured so early.

So that’s why.

I hoped that at this moment, at this place, I could rest a little more comfortably.

The talents of coordination and life created a more comfortable atmosphere.

Then the younger siblings started chattering.

As the children did so, the adults and the old people also began to relax a little and rest.

“This is really delicious!”

“This too!”

Then I spoke to the two youngest children who had just finished drinking the juice they could quickly.

“Are you twins?”

“yes!”

“yes!”

The two innocent children quickly became friends with me.

They seem to be a little younger than Sua, but luckily they are very bright.

The atmosphere in Ahn Chi-hyeok’s family became more relaxed as he won over the two by giving them more drinks.

“Can I touch this?”

“You have to get permission from the person in question. This person’s name is Lang. Ask, “Can I touch Lang?”

The twins, whose attention had already turned to Rangi, carefully touched Rangi, asking for silent permission.

Then, each of them clung to their older brother or sister and chattered.

Thanks to that, at this moment, I am like any other family.

An Chi-hyeok’s family also seemed to be resting a little more comfortably.

Shararang~

Bright auras rose from the family.

When they first arrived, they had a gloomy aura. However, starting with the youngest two’s antics, a bright aura gradually grew and covered the family.

And the aura of the family shining together like that seemed clearer and stronger than any other aura.

* * *

An Chi-hyeok’s family did not stay long.

Fortunately, everyone was able to rest comfortably here.

The proof was that the auras had become clearer and brighter.

Just because you caught the scammer and recovered the money you were scammed from doesn’t mean your situation will suddenly get better.

Nevertheless, they regained their clear aura.

What is the reason?

‘I guess that’s what family is.’

Mother to Ahn Chi-hyeok and his younger siblings, and Ahn Chi-hyeok to his mother and younger siblings.

That’s how we rely on each other and gain strength from them.

Perhaps if they had come separately rather than as a family, it might not have had that effect.

Of course, it might have been a little different thanks to the effects of the drink, but it didn’t seem to be as bad as when my family came.

‘Anyway, it was effective to attack my younger siblings.’

I just did it for her like I did for Su-ah, and she really liked it.

Why does catching a conman seem more rewarding than catching the conman?

I cleaned up the place they left behind and sat down at the counter for a while to think about the conversations I had with them.

‘Is it because we are a family with a lot of stories?’

I guess everyone has their own story.

I found out after hearing how he got scammed.

When I heard the story of Ahn Chi-hyeok’s family, I felt very sorry.

In fact, it is said that Ahn Chi-hyeok’s family was quite wealthy when his father was alive.

It became like this after my father passed away.

‘My mother works despite her poor health, and my younger siblings are still young.’

I don’t know the full details.

Why did my father pass away and why did my once wealthy house collapse, etc.

I didn’t even bother asking. The past isn’t important anyway.

What was more important was now.

It was Ahn Chi-hyuk who carried all that on his shoulders and silently did his job as the eldest son, and never gave up on his dream.

It almost fell apart for a while, but it eventually got back up after catching the scammer.

And I had my family by my side to rely on… … .

‘Maybe someday I’ll achieve that dream.’

I felt that way.

Well, I don’t know why I’m thinking like this.

Anyway, I hope that it was a very precious time to take a short break before achieving that dream.

Kiyung~ Kiyung~

“Huh? Ah.”

As I was absentmindedly thinking about the Ahn Chi-hyeok family, who had already left and were special guests, Mi-ho came up to me and teased me.

It wasn’t that I wanted to play, there was another reason.

Two earthworms with auras that were just pulled out by the scammers.

Miho has been showing interest in it since I put it in a cup.

“I think it’s been purified by now.”

Actually, I don’t know how long it takes to purify.

The first two times were just fine.

This time, I mixed two cases, so I left it unopened just in case.

“Shall we open it?”

Kiyung~

Miho had a very expectant expression on her face.

He looks like a puppy waiting for a snack. But when did Brownie come next to him?

Kuru~

She looked at me with a waiting expression, although not as curious as Miho.

“okay.”

I decided to stop fooling around and open it.

Swish!

I carefully opened the cup lid.

There was no light pouring in or anything like that.

However, there were two crystals shining like jewels in the coffee grounds.

‘The essence of karma!’

It was the same as what happened to the scammer last time.

But it was very small in size.

Is it because it was earthworm-sized from the start?

Suddenly, I wondered about the size of this aura.

What determines size?

Evil heart? Or evil talent?

Or maybe both.

First, I took out two integers.

They were the same size and color, like twins.

[The Essence of Karma]

*effect

─Strengthening the power of the land

But the effect was a little different from before.

At that time, it was clearly ‘growth by the turf’.

This time it’s just ‘reinforcement’.

What is the difference between growth and strengthening?

‘I guess I’ll just have to try it.’

But where would be a good place to use this?

Last time I used it right away because it was needed for land management, but now it’s a bit ambiguous.

The talent we need right now is… … .

Kkeuyung~ Kkeuyung~

“Huh? You want to eat this? Can you eat this?”

Kiyung!

While I was pondering the essence of karma, Miho kept scratching it.

I was curious because I had never complained like this before.

The brownie next to me wasn’t complaining, but he was secretly looking at me.

“you also?”

Kuru~

Since both guys were like this at the same time, I felt like something was up.

‘Since the growth of a Turju is ultimately about growing talent, can’t we use it on these guys?’

Even this time, if it weren’t for Miho’s talent, I might not have been able to solve it like this.

So I didn’t feel bad about spending it on them.

I also have talents that I got from the Ahn Chi-hyeok family… … .

“Okay. You both have had a hard time lately, so eat up.”

I don’t know how to eat it, but I gave it to her. Miho quickly took a bite and swallowed it whole.

Swish… … bang!!

Light came out of Miho’s body.

‘Isn’t this a bit similar to that time?’

It was the same when I infused Miho with the effect at the police station.

And after that, another tail grew.

Of course, when the effect wore off, the tail also disappeared.

Could it be that this time I’m going to have a permanent tail?

Ssuk.

The light gradually faded.

And the visible appearance of Miho is… … .

“Huh? The tail doesn’t grow anymore?”

It was a little different than expected.

So what’s changed…? Huh?

Outwardly it was the same.

But I felt it. The fox bead I had received from Miho before, the one that had been absorbed into my body, had grown a bit bigger.

‘Is this what reinforcement is?’

This time I saw a brownie.

As expected, it ate the essence of karma and emitted light. And when that light disappeared, a change occurred in Brownie as well.

That’s right,

‘Treading on the ground?’

A new talent has emerged.

It seems like a talent derived from a game of praying for the abundance of the land and protecting the land from evil spirits and demons… … .

After seeing some of the scammers these days, I feel like this is a skill that is absolutely necessary for a tiger shelter right now.

But the difference between strengthening and growth was vague.

“I understand Miho, but what about brownies?”

Miho’s talents literally seemed to have been enhanced.

But Brownie has a new talent. What’s the difference?

“Oh! By any chance?”

That’s what I thought.

Experience.

In terms of games, that’s what it’s like. What if strengthening gives you experience points, and growth raises your level right away, regardless of experience points?

Miho’s experience level was probably lacking compared to Brownie’s.

So it ended up just strengthening the existing talent.

On the other hand, Brownie has been with us since the beginning, so he must have a lot of experience, and he has filled up enough to grow through strengthening.

“This seems right.”

The essence of karma… … It was truly amazing.

But I didn’t want to see it that often. Rather, I liked this.

‘Let’s also check out what we gained through talent absorption.’

I saw the talent that the Ahn Chi-hyuk family gave off, radiating a clear and bright aura.

>Unification of the Ahn Chi-hyeok family

Regardless of what the talent was, I was more proud and happy about this.

But, unification?

What is this?

“Sir!! I’m on vacation!!”

Dingle~ Dingle~

First, I decided to welcome and think about Su-ah, who has the talent to speak before the doorbell rings.
