I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 173

Episode 173

We were supposed to meet again the day before Suah went up to Seoul, but I forgot.

The spirit must be so shocking.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late at night, so we decided to meet briefly at the village chief’s house.

The reason was simple: it was the widest place.

“If Su-ah isn’t here, the village will be quiet for a while.”

And in fact, it was because the village chief was the one who most regretted Su-ah’s trip to Seoul.

Since he is a child who makes the village noisy, the empty space will be even bigger.

So we finally gathered again.

It was nice to see these faces again, even though I had just returned from my vacation.

“Sir! Why did you close so early today! I was going to get some mint chips.”

“I just closed it today because I was a little tired?”

“Oh my! If I keep doing this, won’t it close even faster without me? I’m worried, I’m worried.”

But why do I have to listen to Su-ah nagging me like this?

I don’t know if that nagging is because I can’t eat mint tea or because I’m really worried.

“I’ll make it for you before I go. Okay?”

“Hehehe! Yes!”

It was the former.

I burst out laughing at the sight of Su-ah laughing playfully.

It seemed like only the village chief would not feel sorry.

I feel a little sorry too.

Still, it didn’t seem like it would be that long since I would be back again before summer was over.

I think I’ll be gone soon if I serve customers at a cafe.

“Go and don’t cause trouble.”

“Do you think I’m a kid?”

“huh.”

“Phehehe!”

I don’t know if you’re doing well.

It would be a little better if Sia went with me.

“Voila! This is a vacation program.”

Suah brought a piece of paper and showed it to everyone.

There were programs planned there by date.

It was more informative than I expected.

Rather than just practicing dancing and singing like trainees, there were also times when we went to see performances or concerts.

“Wow! You’re going to a summer festival too?”

“Yes! Isn’t it awesome?”

“That’s right. I heard it’s hard to get tickets for this.”

“Sister, I will definitely invite you next time I debut.”

“really?”

“yes!”

Now I’m finally going to experience being a trainee and I feel like I’ve become a real idol.

Hansong-i looked pleased at Su-ah’s words.

“Oh, right. The owner of the pension seems to like you quite a bit. He asked me to give you this.”

“Yes? Are you the owner of the pension?”

Because there were so many people, each person was torn apart and talking separately when the village chief handed something over to them.

They said the pension owner gave it to me.

“That gentleman originally liked people, but he never gave them anything like this.”

“Is that so?”

“Did you do anything for me?”

“No. Not really.”

I brought the spirit of the well, but the owner of the pension probably wouldn’t know about it.

Is it because when we chatted briefly back then, we talked about various things that should and should not be done regarding the pension structure and interior?

I don’t know exactly what it was, but I guess I didn’t feel bad if they looked at it favorably.

But what did you give me?

It was a box, and it was quite large. When I opened it… … there was a box inside.

“Isn’t this a gourd?”

“Huh? I guess so?”

It was an old gourd made of wood.

Could it be that I asked about the well and this?

“Why did you give something like this to a young person? He must have sent some crabs to that guy.”

The village chief looked inside the box and shook his head.

I guess you were expecting a light bite. But I actually enjoyed it.

[Well gourd]

*situation

─Worn out and unusable

*Potential effects

─Enhanced well effect

Because something unexpected came out.

‘Is it something like a coffee bean grinder?’

It seemed like some kind of shelter-assisting object.

If you look at the hands here and there, it seems like it could be useful.

I don’t know if the well spirit would like it, but I decided to take it anyway.

By the way, should I give the well spirit a name?

Or maybe it already has a name?

I should ask this too.

When I think about things up to now, names are extremely important.

Miho and Brownie did the same, but so did I.

Because only after I completely defined it as a business card and coupon did I become the real owner of the place.

I’ll have to ask when I get home.

So first of all, I took good care of the gourd I received as a gift.

If I ever go to that pension again, I should definitely bring something with me.

“Oh, right. Please have some of this. I made some potato bread.”

“Huh? Potato bread?”

“Yes. It was okay because the potatoes were tasty.”

“Huh? It really looks like a potato bread. Come on, let’s all eat some of this.”

I shared the potato bread I brought with the village chief.

Everyone took a bite and gave it a good review.

If the ingredients themselves are good, it can’t be bad.

Anyway, I feel good because everyone ate well… … .

“Sua, are you not that good?”

“No, it’s delicious.”

“But why is your expression like that?”

“It’s delicious. But I can’t eat this during the vacation.”

“… … You’re so gloomy because you haven’t eaten in two months?”

You were so excited just a moment ago, and now you’re here?

He was a truly unpredictable child.

I shook my head at the sight of Sua crunching on potato bread.

“I’ll send it by courier sometimes. Even if it’s not something you can eat right away, it’s okay if you send things like bread quickly.”

“Eek.”

Even when he said he would send it by courier, Su-ah was still upset.

Is it that regrettable?

“Why don’t you just come and open a cafe next door?”

“… … Will it work?”

The tiger shelter was no ordinary place. It was a place imbued with special powers.

Of course, this special power won’t be transferred even if you open the same cafe somewhere else.

‘Because it’s a power that comes from the ground in the first place.’

It is the land that has the power of the land, so it cannot be moved arbitrarily.

And there was a 10-year contract to begin with.

No matter how much Su-Ah does, it is difficult to stick with each and every one of them.

“Cheese.”

“Once you actually get there, you won’t even think about it. There’s nothing to do here, so this is what makes it fun.”

The city offered many different opportunities than the countryside.

If you go through various experiences, two months will pass by really quickly.

So, I patted Soo-ah’s gloomy head and consoled her.

‘Two months must be a long time for Su-ah.’

Time flows differently for adults and children. To Su-ah, who is still a child, two months must feel like a very long time.

“Think about what you want to eat tomorrow.”

“Ah! Mint Chopped! Mint Chopped!”

“… … Does it have anything to do with Mincho?”

“Hehehe!”

Should I make a meal kit for her so she can make a Mint Chocolate Frappuccino later?

It didn’t seem like it would be difficult.

Because you just need to pack it in small portions while getting the ratio right.

The making itself was relatively easy.

You can just upload the materials here.

I need to think about it for a moment.

I may not be able to open a shopping mall with the crops I grow in my garden, but I can give them to my friends.

Time passed quickly and it soon became late at night.

Since we had already gathered late, we all went home and decided to meet at a cafe tomorrow before Su-ah left.

‘Oh, by the way, Suho said he was going to training too.’

Should I have a farewell party for that too?

Since Suho didn’t seem to have any such thoughts, I decided to get the address separately.

So I came back home.

and.

Pororoong~

“How about this? You know what I mean?”

He handed the gourd straight to the well spirit and asked.

─Wow! Where did you get this? It’s my friend! But… … I don’t think we can play together anymore… … .

“I’ll fix it.”

─Yeah! Thank you!

The spirit of the well saw the gourd and was very pleased.

But soon, upon seeing the condition of the bucket, he made a disappointed expression. It was probably because the condition was not good.

‘I think I remember, so I guess I just need to fix it.’

I decided to go to the cafe tomorrow and fix it since I thought I could fix it if I used my carpentry skills.

So what’s next?

“Do you have a name?”

─Your name? I’m just me.

“Except for the spirit of the well.”

─No! Should it be there?

“It’s not necessarily true, but isn’t it wrong to keep calling me ‘you’?”

─Do you have a name for the blast?

“My name is Cheon Yu-jin.”

This guy’s intellectual ability is also younger than Soo-ah’s.

It’ll be different when you become an adult, though.

Anyway, it doesn’t seem to have a name.

─Wow! I want a name too!

“okay?”

─Yeah! Cheon Yu-jin! Me too, Cheon Yu-jin!

“… … That won’t work.”

─Why?

“Oh, so that’s my name?”

─Really?

It seemed like such a pure question that it was even more difficult to answer.

A spirit with an innocent expression, sitting on a well and tilting its head.

“A name is something that defines you. So… … it tells who I am.”

Is it difficult to explain it like this?

Actually, I think it’s a bit confusing for me to say this.

Other kids just had it built… … .

“If you don’t have a name, can I make one up for you?”

─Really? Yeah! Okay!

“Then, how about ‘fixing’?”

─Fix?

“It means water fairy.”

And because there are some that are as transparent as crystal, it looks good in a double sense.

Although its true identity is the spirit of the well, looking at its current appearance, it wouldn’t be strange to think of it as a water fairy.

─Ah! Okay!

And the guy nodded as if he liked it too.

“Then you are now Soo-jeong.”

─Yeah!

If you just built it like this, it would have been a long way around something simple.

The spirit’s name has been decided.

Then… … .

With sharara~

An aura flowed out from Soo-Jung’s body.

I wasn’t surprised because I expected it. I’ve experienced it several times already.

Sujeong waved her hands around, as if she was amazed at the aura coming from her body.

And then!

Pot!

Small wings spread from the guy’s back.

─Wow! I can fly!

The crystal flew over the well as if it were a real fairy.

The water droplets scattered along the guy reflected the moonlight and fell to the ground like jewels.

*Application effect

>Protection of life

And then a new effect appeared.

* * *

The next morning.

Su-ah left quietly early in the morning, unlike last night when she was gloomy.

I don’t know why I was so noisy yesterday, because I left half-asleep, with my eyes barely open.

and.

‘I was originally going to bring you.’

The village chief said he was bringing me here because he had some work to do.

I would appreciate it if you did that.

Driving to Seoul isn’t that easy, especially since I have to drop off Sua and come back right away.

‘Oh, I was trying to see Ms. Go Na-eun.’

I was a little nervous because I should have told you about this in advance.

So I left a message first.

It seems like you’re busy since I haven’t heard from you right away, so that’s a good thing.

I’ll contact you later when I have time.

“It’s somehow quiet.”

Actually, it was usually quiet during this time since Su-ah wasn’t there, but I had a strange feeling.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Hansong nodded and agreed with what I said.

Lee Seon-ah and Kang Do-yoon went to work in the fields in place of the village chief.

Now, the two of them were fully-fledged workers.

I wonder if those two will end up making eye contact.

When you do difficult things while relying on each other, you develop a sense of belonging.

In fact, isn’t that why there are so many office romances?

Of course I wasn’t there.

‘Why wasn’t it there?’

Oh, seeing a woman at work was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

“But, brother.”

“Huh? Huh?”

A flower called me.

I’m still not used to the title, but time will tell.

“Did you eat something good alone again?”

“huh?”

“No. It looks like your face is glowing now.”

“Oh, really?”

I touched my cheek for no reason at Hansong’s words. I didn’t eat anything special.

‘Is it because of the protection of life?’

I slept well and used aura quite a bit yesterday, but it was still full in my body.

What kind of effect is this that was obtained by naming it as a modification? … … .

“I guess I slept well. Would you like some coffee?”

“Is that so? Yes!”

I decided to find out as I started my day.
