Episode 165

The milk shaved ice was really delicious as it melted gently in my mouth.

Of course, it was completely different from just drinking cold milk. Should I say that the feeling of the shaved ice cooling my mouth was different?

The milk, divided into very small units, settled gently in the mouth rather than covering it with its usual body.

Moreover, when condensed milk is mixed into the melt-in-your-mouth milk, the rich milk flavor is further amplified.

“Eww~ It’s delicious!”

Maybe it was because everyone had been playing in the water so hard that they were craving something sweet.

Plus, since you’ve been playing in salty water, you’re bound to enjoy sweet things even more.

‘If I had only drank milk, my thirst wouldn’t have been quenched.’

Milk shaved ice is filled with plenty of thirst-quenching fruits.

Green grapes, Campbell grapes, plums, peaches, etc.

That’s not all. I also sprinkled some diluted syrup on the jam. This couldn’t be tasteless.

“I think this is the most delicious shaved ice I’ve ever had.”

“Eat plenty. I’ll make more.”

“Yes~!”

I brought the icebox packed full of shaved ice ingredients.

If you just look at the members, you wouldn’t think they would eat that much, but Sia and everyone else eat surprisingly well.

Last time, the village chief shot beef and cried bloody tears… … It wasn’t that bad, but it was still a bit surprising.

So, please give plenty of sheep.

Of course, since the shaved ice requires changing the milk every time, it requires some effort.

Square! Square!

I ground another carton of milk.

“Can I help you?”

“Would you like that?”

Kang Do-yoon stepped forward to help.

He told me to do it because it wasn’t difficult since all I had to do was grind the milk.

however…….

“Brother. How did you do this? It’s really tough.”

“Really? It wasn’t that hard.”

“Isn’t that an iron arm?”

Kang Do-yoon joked. Then, Su-ah, who was next to him, raised her hand.

“I want to try it too!”

“No, really?”

It didn’t dry up.

It’s fun to make it together and eat it.

however.

“Eww!”

In less than five minutes, Suah gave up.

That’s because his face turned red.

“Is it that hard?”

“Totally.”

And since Su-ah was having such a hard time, for some reason everyone wanted to try it at least once.

Why? Why do you want to try it when it’s hard?

I couldn’t understand it, but I had no intention of stopping it.

“Ah, Suho, you can’t do it.”

“Yes? Why?”

“You’re an athlete. You can’t hurt your shoulder.”

Suho was excluded. And Hansong was the same.

“The writer should draw pictures.”

“But I still want to try… … .”

I passed it on to Lee Seon-ah.

“I use my hands too.”

“Ah. A game?”

That’s right. Gaming is also an activity that requires sensitive use of the hands.

This is an area of ​​physical strength that can reach its peak during the teens.

Finally, the shaved ice maker was returned to my arms.

But now there seemed to be no need to make more, since everyone seemed to be somewhat satisfied.

I had no reason to make more.

Actually, I was going to test my talent for unity with this, but it turned out that I didn’t need to.

If what I realized at the sea earlier was correct, the talent of unification was not simply a matter of combining talents and breathing them into one.

A more fundamental talent was evident.

‘The aura has also been filled a little.’

I replenished some of the aura that had been consumed earlier from the group who were satisfied after eating the shaved ice.

Besides, Miho was secretly eating some fruit behind my back, so I recovered from that too.

Because Miho could do that.

By the way, what is the purpose of Miho and Brownie? Come to think of it, Bongbong was a bit special too.

I didn’t think they were just bees, but they weren’t intangible like Brownie and Miho, so I didn’t pay much attention to them…

‘Are you spirit-like beings?’

What?

Miho, who had been eating grapes diligently, tilted her head as if asking what he meant.

‘No. Keep eating.’

Kiyung~

He apologized for interrupting her eating and told her to continue what she was doing.

Actually, it doesn’t matter what they are.

Even if I knew, they would be things that are outside the common sense that I know, that is, the common sense of this world.

So it was pointless to ask them the definition of existence right away.

They were also guys who were grateful just for being there.

‘Let’s figure that out later. It seems like it’s impossible right now.’

It was a difficult experience at first, as my aura was suddenly drained.

But just like with the management of the land, it seemed like it would eventually happen someday.

“Excuse me, would you mind selling us some of that shaved ice?”

“yes?”

“It looks so delicious!”

As I was about to give up and rest, someone approached me.

He was a man with a muscular build and bare chest. Looking behind him, a man and a woman in their early 20s, either friends or companions, were watching him.

“I can’t sell it… … .”

“I’m a soldier and I’m on a short leave. I’m supposed to return tomorrow, so please, can you help me?”

“… …Are you a soldier?”

Come to think of it, you’ve shaved your head. You look like a soldier for your age.

Well then, we can’t just do it sternly.

“yes!”

“Um… … Then, it’s okay to make it with what’s left. The ingredients are all here.”

Food is not easy to buy or sell in the first place. However, you can give away what you have left.

He told me to make it in a shaved ice maker and eat it myself.

There was no problem because the toppings were neatly arranged.

The group has already eaten.

“thank you!”

I almost laughed at the sight of him bowing deeply to greet me, but I held back.

Because I was just struggling to figure out how to say hello and ended up saying it like that.

Judging by the way his hands habitually went up, it seemed like he was trying to salute… … .

‘You’ve worked hard.’

It was a time when I was having fun and experiencing things like that with my friends.

If tomorrow comes, I won’t be able to do it again.

“Please take plenty. It looks like you have a lot of people in your group.”

“Yes? Oh, yes! Thank you!”

The young soldier who had been diligently operating the shaved ice machine nodded again.

Your personality is really bright.

The soldier who made a bowl full of shaved ice and gave it to his companions seemed like a hero to them today.

Shararang~

When I see the aura blooming like this.

I didn’t intend to fill my aura like this… … Of course, I didn’t intend to refuse.

‘Good. I’m glad you came.’

Come to think of it, I’ve already received the aura twice.

That’s not to mention what we received from our group.

Once at the rest stop, once here.

I’m so happy… … Yes?

Wait, I’m definitely on vacation right now, but why do I feel like I’m working?

I feel good, but something seems a bit ambiguous?

* * *

After playing around in the ocean during the day, I went back to my lodgings, washed up, and rested for a bit.

I used a lot of aura, and my friends played in the water too hard.

After everyone washed up, they were all tired and took a nap.

“Hmm.”

Isn’t the greatest pleasure of a summer nap the fact that you wake up from a nap and the sun hasn’t set yet?

A peculiar feeling of languidness, sadness, and tranquility came over me.

Of course, that only lasted for a little while.

with a plop!!

Where did the sound of water come from?

Where was it? It was near the swimming pool at the accommodation.

“Are you playing again?”

“of course!”

I followed the sound and saw Suah and Suho playing.

How much stamina do they have?

I understand that Suho is an athlete, but Suah is truly a mystery.

I sat on the bench next to the pool, shaking my head.

“What about other people?”

“All the sisters are asleep. Sia too.”

Well, yeah, that’s normal.

After playing like that, it was natural that I was tired.

I also watched what Su-ah and Su-ho were doing in a daze.

“Ouch! Ouch!”

“But what are you doing? Swimming?”

“Yes! I’m learning from you!”

“I see.”

It’s probably difficult to learn at the sea or by a stream.

Seeing the siblings getting along so well made me feel a little envious.

“Ugh! I’m full. I, I’ll stop.”

“Yeah. No. One more round. When you say “Apu-Apu-Pu”, don’t keep putting your head in the “Poo!”

Oh. It wasn’t a friendly swimming lesson between siblings, it was training?

Guardian guy, you raised your little brother to be very strong. That might be why he has such good stamina.

“Aren’t you both hungry? Oh, Su-ah is full.”

“I’m hungry! I’m so hungry! Mister! I want to stop drinking water!”

A snicker escaped from Soo-ah’s desperate words.

It was almost evening.

When you come out to play like this, the most anticipated time is definitely dinner time.

Ugh!

People who had been sleeping like zombies came out one by one.

‘Didn’t I tell you to talk at dinner?’

That’s what I said when I was being guided to my accommodation earlier.

If you’re going to use fire, tell me in advance.

Of course, I told you about that part because we were going to have a barbecue.

“How about grilled clams, steamed clams, and raw fish soup for dinner?”

“I like it! I really like it!”

Everyone agreed.

So, we split into two teams. One team decided to buy clams and raw fish, and the other team decided to go to a nearby mart and buy vegetables to eat together or snacks to eat later at night.

And I decided to go and see the owners of the inn.

“Okay! Then let’s all meet here later.”

The group split up and contacted the innkeeper.

“Hello, boss. We are from Cheonho-ri.”

─Ah, yes. Do you need anything?

“I want to light a fire in the evening.”

─Yes, yes. Then when will you prepare it for me?

“Um, would an hour later be okay?”

─Okay~ I’ll prepare it right away.

“Yes, thank you.”

─Yes, yes. Oh, right! Do you hear any strange noises or anything in the dorm?

“Huh? Does that sound weird?”

─Oh, no. Haha! Then I’ll prepare it for you right away.

The boss hung up the phone abruptly.

What is that? A strange sound? I’ve never heard anything like it.

Oh, is it still under construction?

It felt a bit messy because it was just opening. That might be why it was like that.

It seemed like nothing special, so I quickly forgot about it.

And an hour later.

“Wow! This looks delicious!”

“It’s still a living thing.”

“Still!”

The group that went to buy raw fish and clams and the group that went to the mart gathered together.

There’s no charcoal yet, so I just set it up.

First, I took out the shellfish so they were easy to grill. From large clams to flat scallops.

‘Hey, I bought all the cheese.’

I bought everything I was told to buy.

Of course, there were also things I didn’t ask you to buy.

“What about shrimp?”

“I’ll grill it and eat it!”

Speaking confidently, I had nothing to say.

It’s not even my money.

The ones who took the village chief’s card were Lee Seon-ah, Su-ah, and Kang Do-yoon.

I was happy because you bought something expensive. My card was for the mart.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that the mart bought less.

“marshmallow?”

“It’s delicious when grilled.”

“……okay.”

Because there was a glutton Sia here.

Should I be thankful that I didn’t buy much compared to what I was told to buy?

Ding dong~!

“I guess they’re here.”

Just then, the superhuman bell rang.

Since it was a detached house style pension, when I opened the door, the owner came in carrying a bunch of stuff.

“Oh my! Can you listen to this?”

“Yes? Oh, yes.”

“Oh my! This is octopus sashimi, so I brought some for you to taste.”

The white styrofoam icebox I received by chance contained octopus sashimi.

The manager left one piece of luggage there and went inside to look down at the rest of the luggage.

It was firewood and charcoal.

“This is really good charcoal. I’ll put it here, so use it as much as you want. If you run out, just ask for more. The fire lasts a long time, so you won’t run out.”

“Thank you. Oh, I’ll enjoy that too.”

“Haha! What is it? Then have fun.”

The boss greeted me coolly and tried to leave again.

I wish I had prepared some food for you… … .

Then suddenly he turned around.

“Oh, right! By the way, at night… … it’s better not to use water. Just in case.”

“Yes, I will.”

The boss said this before he left.

Of course, the water is dangerous late at night, so I’ll be careful as if I was worried.

Anyway, I don’t have the energy to play at the pool until late at night.

‘But, more than that, the boss’s aura… … isn’t it bad?’

Shouldn’t we be worrying about the boss more than ourselves?
