I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 177

Episode 177

Passion… … .

It was an unexpected talent considering the military guest he was when he first saw him.

Because it was a look of emptiness and depression, with absolutely no motivation.

But when I thought about how he looked when he left the cafe, I understood.

Because it was the appearance of a soldier with a strong military discipline and an even more active nerd.

‘That’s a native talent.’

It was a talent that was mainly related to will. And it was also a talent that was good to put in for effect.

A break you can take in a cafe is a short break. What you can get there is literally peace.

Most of the talents of the natives were used effectively because they strengthened the mind and made it peaceful.

This was the case even if the aura wasn’t in a good state.

The reverse radiant energy was one of them, but the newly acquired talent ‘passion’ seemed like it would be good to use for a long time…

‘Rangi needs it just in time.’

In fact, it was something that came to mind as soon as I acquired this talent.

Even without that, Langi had become the ultimate lazy person since summer came.

Of course, it is a natural process of adapting to the heat. But these days, it seems like it is even bothering to eat.

I guessed the reason.

The breakup wasn’t just for military guests.

Rangi also recently went through a breakup. It was because his original owners, siblings Suah and Suho, left for a while.

The owner who was always with him was no longer there, so he was already annoyed and heartbroken, and he even stopped eating.

‘Sua, Suho, you don’t have any siblings, so you have to take good care of them.’

While my siblings were on summer vacation, I decided to take care of Langi.

Of all the villagers, they still follow me the most.

But it would have been difficult if the siblings didn’t eat as soon as they left.

“I understand how you feel, but the kids will be home soon.”

Why?

“Okay, I’ll give you some churu, so let’s eat.”

Why… …

Judging from the fact that Churu didn’t react much, it was clear that Suah was very upset about not being able to see Suho for a while.

I quickly brought a churu and tried to apply my new talent to it.

‘huh?’

But come to think of it, it was the first time I gave talent to something that wasn’t my creation.

Is that so?

I tried to use my drawing talent to draw on a bowl and put my talent into churu, but it bounced off.

This is the first time I’ve heard of this.

Then should I use my talent for chemical reactions?

It consumes a lot of aura, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

“uh?”

But even with the talent of a painter, it doesn’t work.

Can I only use my talents on crops that I have grown or planted myself?

But I drew the picture myself… … .

“There were such limitations when it came to giving talent to eating.”

I learned something I didn’t know before.

I didn’t know that other talents, especially woodworking, can be applied to objects as well. I never really thought about it, but I guess I’ll have to keep that in mind.

By the way, first I have to take care of Langi… … .

‘What should I eat? Make it for me.’

Even though I just opened the Churu, there wasn’t much of a reaction. So there’s no need to talk about anything else.

So, is there any way to get around this?

It’s like the soldier guest was released because of Lee Seon-ah’s obsession.

Rangi must have something he’s obsessed with or likes.

I thought it would be better to seek advice rather than trying to solve this on my own.

─Arrived in Seoul! The dorm is really nice!

“huh?”

At that moment, Sua sent a message to the group chat saying that she had arrived with a photo.

Su-ah was photographed against the backdrop of a dormitory that appeared to be newly built.

It certainly looked okay. Not too cramped.

Bae Jun-seong, did you put some effort into making it?

When I was a team member, I wasn’t just a fan of idols.

Unlike Kim Jung-hyun, it was worth it to roll with it a bit.

Oh right, now is not the time to be watching and appreciating this.

New buildings and interiors are like this without me even knowing.

I took my eyes off the photo Su-ah sent and tried to get some advice.

“Ah. Wait. Then that will work.”

A good idea occurred to me.

It was a cat tower.

Langi isn’t even using it right now… … but what if we give him the passion talent?

‘If I move my body, I’ll get hungry, so I’ll eat something.’

If you don’t move, your appetite decreases and you don’t want to move anymore. This repeats endlessly and your condition worsens.

So when you feel lethargic, you need to get moving.

Of course, since we don’t just use a cat tower, we’ll probably have to do some tinkering.

It’s something that Rangi likes.

“I don’t really like climbing trees, I like running.”

At first glance, it seemed like there was no puppy there.

So, he played well with Baekgu and Tori.

In that case, it would be better to increase the horizontal space rather than the vertical space.

‘I have to do it when there are no customers.’

Is this passion contagious to me?

Why are you doing this?

Well, I do it because I think it will be fun.

“First… I guess I’ll have to take it apart and take a look.”

I brought the cat tower and took it apart.

If I keep going like this, I might start to enjoy woodworking.

Knock! Knock!

Among the separated cat towers, I collected only the footrest part.

This will create horizontal space inside the cafe.

The tiger shelter was basically made of log walls, so it wasn’t difficult to attach this to the wall.

It’s more difficult to make it into a shape that Rangi would like.

“What was the route like?”

I used target detection to see Langi’s movements once.

There were only a few that didn’t move at all.

The places where I stayed the longest were by the window and at the counter table.

‘Would this work?’

It seemed like a pretty good route.

It was a path that went up from the window to the ceiling and came to the counter table.

It was perfect because it passed by the bottom of the window on the roof, which was Rangi’s favorite spot.

It seemed like it would take more wood than expected, but it seemed like it would be enough to just take care of the remaining cat tower pillars.

I guess I’ll have to try making it like this.

* * *

Why~!

“… … I didn’t know there would be side effects like this.”

The cat tower renovation was a success if it was successful.

Rangi jumped up from the window to the wall like a shelf, climbed up to the ceiling, and ran towards the counter!

Then, in the middle, I looked at the sky through the window in the roof.

And here we go again!

Perhaps because he was endowed with passion and talent, he had already been spinning for several laps.

“This is crazy. Stop it.”

Wham!

“okay…….”

I easily ignored the reed-like mind of a person who had told me to move just a moment ago and now told me to stop moving.

If you keep doing this and get tired, you’ll rest.

─Wow~ The cafe has become prettier! I should go there later!

─Don’t do it when I’m around!

Meanwhile, the group chat was noisy.

Following the photos of Suah’s dormitory, it was thanks to the video I took and sent after completing the skywalk dedicated to Langi.

In particular, Su-ah was disappointed because she couldn’t see him.

Of course, that ended with an orientation after a while.

Judging from the fact that Lee Sun-ah and Kang Do-yoon aren’t talking, are they still bringing in military guests?

Aaaah!

“… … You’re even chatting like you never did before.”

I took my eyes off my phone at the sight of Rangi sitting under the roof window, looking up at the sky and making chattering sounds.

Is it because I’m close to the sky?

Now that I think about it, I like lying down and looking at the sky, but I think that would be difficult to do inside a cafe.

Of course, you could have seen it, but you couldn’t have seen it from that close to the window.

There was even a transparent hammock on the step under the roof window.

It was originally on the cat tower, so you could see Rangi’s belly fat very well from below. And the pink jelly on the soles of his feet.

It was a healing sight for me as I looked at it.

In the end, it turned out well for both.

I had a big meal earlier, so I’ll probably fall asleep there soon.

“You made me worry.”

In less than a day, it was back to its original state.

Anyway, I thought it would be good to use the passion and talent of the military guest like this.

‘I’m thirsty.’

I need to drink something simple.

I went out to the garden to recharge my batteries.

“huh?”

Then I opened my mouth wide at the sight I saw.

The mugwort… was in full bloom.

Now that most of the berries have been picked, I thought I wouldn’t be able to pick any more berries from the Ssuksuk for a while… … .

‘It even seems a little big?’

The coffee tree was already so big that I wondered if it could grow this big, but it seems to have gotten a little bigger and more abundant.

Of course, the flowers are also more abundant.

“Sujeong, did you do this?”

─Huh?

“I’m talking about the thing that made the succulents bloom.”

─Ah! Woong woong! The water and wood originally make each other stronger! So I too… … Ta-da!

The water sprinkler flew around.

Then the sunlight reflected and a rainbow appeared over the garden.

Sujeong’s appearance didn’t seem to have changed much, but judging by her reaction, she seemed to have grown as much as Sooksook.

They said they were arguing, is this what it was?

“Can you keep doing this?”

─Huh? No! There needs to be more sparkle!

“Twinkle twinkle? What is that?”

─Something like this!

Soo-Jung said, holding up one of the flying auras.

That’s why it looked like she was holding a doll.

By the way, it’s strange. It was clear that Soo-Jung was definitely different from Miho and Brownie.

Is this guy related to the five elements of Manseonggong?

I gave the guy a name and expected his talents in aquatics to grow.

‘I never thought there would be such synergy.’

Perhaps the more auras the guests leave behind, the more the two will grow.

I wonder how it will grow further.

─It was sparkling like this just now!

“Huh? There? A cafe?”

─Yeah! It’s sparkling inside~

Sujeong held Aura and explained something earnestly.

It seems like something has changed in the cafe just now.

‘no way?’

A cafe because of what you made for Langi?

Anyway, since the interior had been changed a little, it wasn’t impossible. The cafe was also a shelter.

It can grow just like other shelters, growing and being renovated as you make changes.

“Did you not pay enough attention to the cafe?”

I cleaned diligently, but I didn’t decorate or change anything.

I guess it’s because it’s a place that was touched a lot by my grandfather.

I still don’t feel like changing it completely, but I thought it would be okay to change or fix it little by little like this.

If it has a positive effect on the cafe, like the mugwort blooming again.

Sararak~

“huh?”

At that moment, a flower fell from Ssuk-ssuk. Then Soo-jeong quickly flew over, caught it, and held it out to me.

─Hehehe! A present!

“A gift? For me?”

─Yeah! Ssuksuk said so!

“Really? Thank you, Sooksook.”

Sararak!

Could it be an illusion that the leaves are shaking as if they are embarrassed?

But it seems that Soo-Jung and Soo-Sook can really communicate.

I’m the type of person who feels things with my senses… … .

“uh?”

I thought the existence of spirits was truly amazing, and while looking at the flowers on the flower bed, I discovered something strange.

The color of the petals was… …a blue that resembled crystals.

It’s a light color, closer to sky blue, but anyway, isn’t the original flower of the Ssuksuk plant white?

“uh?”

I looked up at the ssuksukki.

It was only then that I discovered that the flowers were in two colors.

White flowers and blue flowers.

“If there are two kinds of flowers, then there must be two kinds of coffee beans too?”

Sararak~

─Huh? That’s right!

“Huh? What?”

─I don’t know! Ssuksuk just confronts him!

Sujeong conveys Sooksook’s words.

It seemed like he heard me talking to myself.

The image of Soo-Jung’s bright face and the image of Ssuk-Ssuk standing quietly in the garden intersected.

I felt like there was still a lot I didn’t know about this place.

─But~ why is it like that?

“Me? What?”

─Why are you writing like that?

And it seemed like I still didn’t know anything about myself.

Soo-Jung tilted her head and asked as if she was really curious.
