I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 25
Only Krnovel
Episode 25
Swish!
“That’s right.”
A bear made with Mr. Park Dae-san in mind was drawn on the latte.
Latte, who is stronger than anyone else, but has the ‘guts’ that goes well with her appearance of becoming stronger for her family.
Whoever made this did a great job.
The effect was also good.
“I hope it went well.”
I took my eyes off the latte and looked toward the door.
Mr. Park Dae-san took the call and left with a happy expression on his face.
You said you came to hike the mountain, but you just chatted and drank coffee and left.
‘Well, I hope it heals you.’
I came back with a bright expression so there was no need to climb the mountain.
When Mr. Park Dae-san came here, he gave up all the dreams he had left behind.
Because I realized that there is something as precious as dreams in my life.
It’s family.
It was an enviable word.
Just looking at the bright smile on Mr. Park Dae-san’s face when he received a phone call from his son, you can tell how happy his life was.
I could tell from the back of his head as he left, saying that he would come with his family next time.
‘I really hope you come back again.’
Anyway, I felt good because the customer left like that.
I also learned new ways to utilize my talents.
When I just made the latte looking at it aesthetically, it didn’t work.
But when I put my heart into it, it was different.
The latte, made with the sincere intention of cheering on Mr. Park Dae-san, was effective.
That was the effect I wanted too.
The effect of adding one of the abilities I possess… … The five talents I have now are dexterity, charm, growth, drawing, and Mr. Park Dae-san’s talent, ‘tenacity.’
Judging from the effects obtained from carrot drinks, there were a total of seven effects, including improved eye health and increased vitality.
Not only can you gain talent, but you can also give that talent back to your guests… … .
‘Because you can add effects by combining existing menus like a set menu.’
The possibilities have really expanded.
Add in the special crops in the garden and the shelter space and it becomes even more.
Suddenly, I remembered what Mr. Park Dae-san had said.
Dealing with coffee is no different from dealing with people.
I sympathized with the subtly different coffees and the people who seemed similar but had different concerns.
‘I was like that too, but these days there are a lot of people who are mentally ill rather than physically ill.’
The mystical powers of this cafe were still a mystery, but it was a fact that could be put aside.
That meant there was definitely a place to put his newly acquired abilities to use.
This is a tiger shelter.
That’s enough for now.
I liked this place so much that I couldn’t even remember the time when I worked in the city.
‘Because I said 10 years.’
Now that I think about it, maybe there was a reason why my grandfather did that?
I guess that’s how long it will take to get to know this place, or maybe it will take some time for it to come to fruition.
Anyway, what’s important now is…
Why~
“huh?”
Where is the sound of a rang coming from? Where is it?
I turned my head here and there to look around, and found Rangi crying in the garden.
however.
“… …Who are you?”
There was a white ball of fur in Langi’s arms as he sat in the garden.
The moment I looked closely because I was curious about something.
Boom boom!
Two ears sprouted from a fist-sized ball of white fur.
What is that?
* * *
“Go over there and play, you guys!”
Why~
I couldn’t see it clearly earlier because it was digging into Rangi’s head, but the white ball of fur was the rabbit’s butt.
Noisy, noisy.
It was clear when I saw the face that was revealed as the butt turned.
It was still a baby, with soft and fluffy fur, just like cotton candy.
The pink nose and one ear were bent, perhaps because it was still young.
‘It’s cute, though.’
I still don’t know how a guy the size of a fist got down here.
Of course, it wasn’t strange since the area was surrounded by mountains.
No, isn’t that strange? A white rabbit when it’s not even winter…
But there was something more important than that.
That’s because the place where the two guys are rolling around is the garden.
At that time, I was getting nervous seeing the guys running around!
“Wait a minute! Not there… … !”
Boom!
“Pig… … Ugh.”
Fortunately, the place where the seeds were planted was easily jumped over.
But as long as the guys are running around in the garden, these crises will continue.
I feel like if I keep doing this, the seeds I plant will just get trampled on without ever sprouting.
But those guys are so fast I can’t keep up.
If I force them in and chase them away, I feel like I’ll end up ruining the garden, not them… That won’t work either…
“Hey, look here? Are there any delicious apples?”
In times like this, the best way to lure someone is with food.
He cut up an ugly apple, brought it over, and shook it.
beep?
Langi wasn’t interested anyway, and instead the baby rabbit showed a reaction.
I tilted my head and saw an apple.
“Right. Yum yum. It must be delicious.”
Whoosh!
Although I tried hard to act, the guy just turned his head away coldly.
That little guy the size of a walnut… … .
The moment when the fever is starting to rise.
‘hmm?’
Suddenly my mind became calm and the shaking disappeared.
I wondered why, but then I remembered Park Dae-san’s new talent.
[Perseverance]
It seems like this is how it is, but it feels like it is not easily swayed by emotions.
Is this good?
It was a talent that many people need in order to survive these days. In a world where it’s easy to get swept away here and there.
I almost did that to myself just now over something trivial.
‘Actually, the ground doesn’t collapse when he steps on it.’
He was a fluffy guy.
Unless you dig the ground on purpose… … .
Pavabak!!
“Me!… … Phew─.”
Even though he dug the ground as if he was looking for something.
I came into the kitchen after seeing the baby rabbit.
And he took out a small knife.
Swish!
Back in the garden, I cut the apples with a small knife.
Square! Square!
The apple slices, which had just taken shape, looked like mini carrots.
‘attractiveness’
If you add some charm to it with your drawing talent… … .
beep?
Even the troublemaker baby rabbit couldn’t help but be charmed.
The guy who came running towards me stood on both feet without any sense of caution towards the carrot-shaped apple I was holding in my hand.
The pink nose is twitching hard.
You weren’t interested before.
“ruler.”
beep!
If you give that guy an apple, he grabs it with his front paws and starts eating it…
For a moment, my gaze was stolen by that sight.
I quickly caught the guy.
Huh? Huh? Huh!
But this guy, whether he did or not, got caught up in the apple while holding it in his hand.
“What kind of guy is this?”
Wild rabbits are not at all wary of people.
Well, if that were the case, I wouldn’t even be playing with Lang.
beep?
“… … It’s cute.”
My heart, which had been heavy with emotion, was softened by the sight of a rabbit lying on my palm and eating an apple like a baby.
What can I do by getting angry at the guy who tilts his head with an innocent expression when I look at him?
As for the garden… … it seemed like a failure since nothing sprouted except for mugwort.
I decided to just let them play since I thought I’d have to plant them again or something.
“Okay. Play.”
When I let go of the little guy who had eaten all the small apple pieces, he looked confused and soon started playing with Lang again.
But the more I looked into it, the more I realized it was a really funny combination.
A cat and a rabbit playing together.
They would be natural enemies in the wild.
‘It’s good to have good friends.’
I was already worried because Rangi seemed a little bored.
It reminds me of my childhood, when I would roll around on the roof while working or play alone in the vacant lot, catching bugs.
Pavababak!
I took out my phone and took a quick photo of him playing around, digging the ground.
It’s a white rabbit, so it comes out really well in the picture.
And it was captured looking really harmless.
Two fluffy babies running around in a small garden. So cute… … Huh?
‘What is this? What is it?’
I saw something strange on the screen where the photo was displayed, so I rubbed it with my hand.
But it didn’t disappear.
So that means the problem isn’t with the screen, but with the photo.
If it’s in the picture, it’s real.
I turned my gaze to the garden where the kids were still running around.
Then it became clear.
A green sprout is visible where the rabbit is digging the ground.
“Have you sprouted?”
Even if I rubbed my eyes, it was a green sprout.
Clearly, when I named Ssuk-Ssuk this morning, there was nothing… … .
Could it be that the rabbit dug up the ground? Maybe the sprout was growing hard underground and I just didn’t notice it.
beep?
He squatted down in front of the sprout, leaving behind the rabbit that tilted its head as he suddenly approached.
And I looked around.
The sprouts weren’t just one, they were all here and there, and they were all places where rabbits had dug through.
“… … Should I just consider it a coincidence?”
When I see a rabbit with an expression that says it knows nothing, it seems like a coincidence.
He didn’t even bother to pick off the sprouts or anything.
I just dug it because I was bored.
Well, is that the cause?
‘Have you been wishing for me to grow up on my own like a little bird all this time?’
Maybe it was because I had to take care of it and give it attention like this that it was able to grow.
Even if we just remove a little bit of the soil now, wouldn’t the sprouts come up more vigorously?
I need to raise it with more attention.
“I’ll give you fertilizer and water. Grow well. Oh, and you did a good job too. Here’s a snack as a reward.”
He spoke to the newly sprouted sprout and praised the rabbit and Rangi for doing well.
Instead of just shutting it up with my bare mouth, I also gave it a snack.
I gave the rabbit an apple and Langi a churu, and then I sat down in the garden again.
This time, I looked closely at the sprouts and they were in a single line. This meant that they were one type of seed.
And fortunately, unlike the mugwort, I could tell right away what I had planted.
[Nutrient-packed tomato sprouts]
Because it was in the text window.
It was a crop that could be used quite widely.
Tomato noodles are great for brunch and can also be used to make drinks, so it’s killing two birds with one stone.
I think the grandmother at the seed store recommended it… … .
As expected, I had to listen to the expert.
“Grow up quickly and bear tomatoes.”
After carefully selecting the surrounding soil, I stood up to water it.
But can’t you see the rabbit that was eating the snack?
“Where did he go?”
Why?
I looked around the garden and the surroundings of the rabbit, who was tilting his head as if he didn’t know, but the rabbit was nowhere to be seen.
It seems like he went back home before we knew it.
Something suddenly disappeared, it felt like a fairy had come and gone… … .
“… … What, you’ll come again, right?”
I had a feeling that it would be like that, so I wasn’t worried.
and.
Krrrr!
The sky was getting dark and it looked like it might rain.
Judging from the fact that he got home before getting rained on, he might have gotten back safely… … .
“Is spring almost over now?”
I thought it might be the last rain of the season, signaling the beginning of spring and summer.
“Let’s go in quickly too.”
Since it was going to rain, I didn’t think I would need to water it separately.
He brought Rangi inside.
Ah, I shook off the guy who had rolled on the ground before and the cornmeal fell out.
I just leave it outside unless it looks like it’s going to rain…
Rangi also seemed to know the situation, so for some reason he didn’t go up to the roof and instead sat down on the counter.
“Stay there.”
Why~
The yawning form makes it look like he’s about to take a nap.
What a lucky person you are.
‘I tried to live like that too… … but I got a lot of work to do again.’
I guess this is my fate.
Still, I have no regrets because it was fun, unlike before.
This was certain even if it wasn’t due to grit.
This is so much fun.
At that moment, when I was organizing my thoughts!
Thud! Thud thud!!
“Oh, it’s raining.”
It looked like it was going to pour, but it started raining as soon as I got inside.
It was the first rainy day we had ever seen at the tiger shelter.
and.
Dingle~ Dingle~
It was also the day when the second guest of the day arrived.
This time, unlike Mr. Park Dae-san, the guest had an aura like a dark cloud.
