Quitting the Company and Opening a Cafe Episode 274

It was a hint I got from the potato owner’s comment.

Rainbow star.

The lifespan of ordinary pets was bound to be shorter than that of humans. So they hoped that their pets would be able to resolve all the regrets they had about not being able to do in this world there.

‘It’s like a regret.’

Things I gave up to be with people while I was alive.

I hope that when I go there, I can achieve everything I want, such as eating, playing, and the environment.

Of course, this isn’t something I only wish for my pets. It’s the same for people, too.

Don’t you think it would be nice if the one who goes first rests in a good place?

Regret, hope, regret, and so on, various emotions are what I wish for.

That’s what’s called a rainbow star.

It seemed to be the same for that guest. The image of the flamingo that seemed to be hovering around was the image of the guy that the person was drawing.

Play well, fly well, and above all, look healthy.

Wouldn’t it be better if you saw it in person?

There is a saying.

It was said that if an animal with a close bond with its owner goes to the rainbow star first, it will be the first to come out to greet its owner when he goes to the rainbow star.

It’s a preview of that.

The appearance of a very happy honghak. So, it is the appearance of a honghak that tells him not to worry and to take his time and live.

‘If you use the fountain pen of your dreams, you might be able to see it even in your dreams.’

And coincidentally, the feather that Pinkie gave me seemed to be the one that could make that possible.

Using the Dream Fountain Pen wasn’t difficult. All you had to do was think about a specific dream and write it down.

“Oh, right. There’s an event going on at the cafe this time… … It’s Chuseok, so we’re going to write our wishes on kites and fly them. Do you want to try it?”

“A kite?”

“Yes. You can make it yourself, or you can just write your wish on the kite I made and fly it. Since this open space is on a hillside, the wind will blow just right, so it shouldn’t be difficult to fly it.”

“Ah… … Yeon… … .”

“Why not give it a try? Can’t think of any wishes? If you don’t have any, try writing down a lottery ticket.”

The customer, who had been pondering my words, nodded.

There must be a wish that comes to mind.

In the end, I decided to make a kite as I suggested.

Of course, the guests chose to just write down their wishes and fly the kite, so I had to make the kite.

‘It’s not difficult.’

It wasn’t a lie that vacant lots were good places to fly kites.

If you just make it with the right shape, it will fly well enough.

If that doesn’t work out, then maybe get some help from Miho or Sujeong.

Of course, to do that, you first have to make the shape of the kite… … That wasn’t difficult either.

I said this because I knew there were things in the warehouse that could be used as materials.

‘The frame is made by splitting bamboo.’

There was also a map.

The tiger shelter was a wooden hut-style building that my grandfather had built.

And many Hanok-style elements were used in the interior.

Thanks to that, some of those materials remained, and since they were also used in Hanok houses, there was an abundance of them.

Of course, originally, it was common to use rice paper rather than hanji. However, rice paper could not be obtained here right away.

‘Hanji isn’t bad either. It’s rather tough, so you just have to use the weight well.’

Fortunately, there was enough hanji to make one kite.

“Please wait a moment. I will go and get you some paper to use on the kite.”

“Yes, thank you. It’s amazing that there are events like this.”

No, actually, I just thought of it thanks to a customer.

I guess you’d better not say that.

He just smiled, nodded, and went out into the backyard.

I took out the pure white hanji paper to see how well it had been preserved. I also took out some grass and bamboo sticks.

And it will also be a wooden stick for winding thread.

“This will do.”

─Turju! What are you doing?

“I’m going to make a kite with this. Soo-Jung knows how to make a kite, too.”

─I don’t know!

“Yes. A kite is something that allows you to fly on the wind.”

─Wow!

Although Soo-Jeong is reacting in surprise, she doesn’t seem to realize that she is actually flying in a more amazing way. She is not riding the wind, but is just floating in a lump of water…

Well, it’s better not to know.

What if I’m surprised and realize it for no reason and then fall?

If it was a revision, it would be plausible enough.

“Here, you can write your wish anywhere. You can fill it out from beginning to end, or you can write it briefly.”

“Thank you. Oh, but I didn’t bring a pen.”

“Oh, really? Hmm. What should I do with this? Do you happen to know how to use a fountain pen?”

“Oh, yes. I know how to write.”

“Then would you like to use this? I’ll bring you some ink too.”

Fountain pen also passed.

While writing down my wish, I looked up a simple way to make a kite.

I had a vague memory of making it with my grandfather when I was young. When I compared it with that, the process was quickly engraved in my head.

I quickly and easily prepared the necessary ingredients.

And when I looked at the guests, they were diligently writing down their wishes while thinking about something.

Because it was a fountain pen, I couldn’t write quickly.

If you were not careful, the paper could tear, and you had to keep applying ink appropriately.

That’s why these days there are fountain pens with built-in ink cartridges…

‘It has to have that kind of taste to feel like a fountain pen.’

Of course, the customers aren’t doing this to taste that flavor.

Thanks to this, I had enough time to make kite materials and study how to make kites.

I decided to wait because if I write my wish slowly and in detail, the effect of the dream fountain pen will work better.

Swish! Swish!

I was inside the cafe and the customers were outside, but the cafe was so quiet that I could hear the sound.

Only the occasional sound of the wind could be heard.

It was as if the tiger shelter gave guests time to focus.

And it seems to help keep that focus from being broken.

‘Come to think of it, how did the tiger shelter come to be?’

I never really thought about it.

Actually, I did try it. In the early days, when I first found out about this special place.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think I’d find the answer right away, so I decided not to think about it.

But lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of special places, and even trying to make them, and I’ve become curious.

What on earth is this place?

I knew the tiger shelter was special.

It was special enough in itself, as no other place had granted this ability.

And more importantly, the circulation of the aura.

That was a really important part of the tiger shelter.

In a way, I thought that it might be possible because there are so many places like this now and customers keep coming.

‘Huh? Are you done?’

While he was thinking about something else for a moment, the customer’s hand stopped.

I glanced at it and it seemed like it was all written down.

Now it was time to start making and flying the kite in earnest.

Of course, this was something I had to do.

“Have you finished using it?”

“Yes. It’s a bit long, isn’t it?”

“The longer the better. Wouldn’t heaven prefer specific wishes rather than abstract ones?”

“Is that so?”

The customer scratches his cheek as if he doesn’t know.

this.

I unknowingly ended up talking about something like a business report. I decided to move on quickly.

“Then please wait a moment and I will make you a kite.”

“Oh, so you made it yourself. Can I take a look?”

“Of course. If you have any wishes, please let me know.”

That attitude was a good green light.

Certainly better than the listless look from before.

I don’t know if it was because I felt a little better after writing down my wish, or if it was because of the drink and medicine.

He started making the kite while the guests were watching.

Making a kite is not difficult, as most people have tried making one at least once when they were young.

Especially in the case of square shields like this, you just need to keep the balance right.

‘analyze.’

I even fleshed it out by using my talents to make sure it was true.

The amount of grass was measured precisely.

A total of five bamboo sticks are needed for the shield kite.

All you need is two long pieces of meat, three heads, a waist, and a middle piece of meat.

After attaching the long strips in the shape of an X to the empty circle in the middle, which is a characteristic of the shield.

All you have to do is support the head, waist, and the middle section between the head and waist so that it doesn’t collapse.

If you think it looks good, add a few tails to it, it will make the kite look more lively when you fly it later.

“Wow! You’re really good with your hands, boss. How did you do this so quickly?”

“Uh… … My grandfather was a carpenter, so I guess I inherited some of it from over his shoulder.”

“Ahh~”

I’m joking. It’s a bit awkward to take it seriously and say something like that.

Anyway, I finished making the shield.

Just attach this to a thread that replaces a string and wrap it around a stick and you’re ready to go.

It was finished by tying it in a triangular shape to prevent the wind from flowing down and to increase balance.

Then, I glanced at the most important wish and, as expected, it was to have a good time on Rainbow Star until reuniting with Honghak.

Then, if you show me a dream of a flamingo doing well on the rainbow star, I might feel a little better.

“Okay. Then, you can fly here. If you have any trouble, I’ll help you, so take it easy.”

“I’ve flown kites before. I’m confident.”

“Really? I should have made one of these and flown it together. Let’s see who can fly it better.”

“Huh? Are you sure you want to do that?”

“No. Today, since this kite contains the guest’s wish, I think it would be better if only the guest flew it.”

Was it an illusion that a look of nervousness flashed across the guest’s face for a moment?

Ah, no, I don’t think so.

He has such a kind face.

“then.”

Anyway, the guest prepared to fly a kite.

At first, I decided to catch it.

Because originally it was easier for two people to fly a kite.

Because if one person holds the kite and the other person holds the string, they can easily make the kite fly.

There was no need to run around like that.

If you move slightly and make good use of the gap between the string and the wind… … .

“Wow! It’s here!”

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of the excited guests, like children.

But the guest was unaware of that and was focused on the kite.

Just in case the kite fell, I tried to apply force here and there, and then jumped a little bit.

I walked around a very empty lot.

The kite rose and fell each time. It went left and right, but it also rose diligently into the sky little by little.

Once we passed the height of the trees surrounding the vacant lot, we gradually entered a stable zone.

The wind blowing above is stronger than below. It is unlikely that the kite will fall to the ground.

Only then did the guest gain some stability and raise the kite a little higher.

I don’t have a lot of connections, so I can’t keep going up.

“Wow~”

Just watching the kites fly made guests exclaim in admiration.

Looking at that appearance, it seemed like there was no need for dreams, but the aura was still the same.

It’s just that I was focusing on that for a moment.

‘It seems like you see the lotus as pink.’

At first glance, I felt that way too.

Then, more than ever, the dream should be effective.

“Huh? I made it all the way to the end!”

“Oh. You’re flying it well. Should I fly it a little more and then send it up into the sky?”

“yes!”

It seemed regretful that it couldn’t be sent a little higher into the sky, but the kite had already risen so high that it looked like a dot.

‘Miho, if I cut the string, can you burn that for me?’

Kiyung~!

‘Okay. Thank you.’

Of course, I was going to clean up the kite that was flown.

It would be a problem if it flew wrong and fell and got caught on a power line or something.

Originally, I was going to just pick it up, but when I asked Miho if I could give it a ride, she said yes, so I decided to do so.

then…….

“Shall I send it away?”

“… … Yes. Please.”

I’ve been keeping it for a while now and decided to let it go.

I quickly cut it with scissors for the customer whose eyes had sunken again.

Ting!

A kite that flew into the sky and disappeared in an instant.

at that time!

Hurrruk!

A trace of Miho’s kite appeared briefly in the air and then disappeared.

And the aura fell.

That was an aura with the effect of a kite.

Leading to a dream… … .

“uh?”

A moment of hesitation as to whether the guest saw it or not.

“I have a feeling you’ll grant my wish.”

I changed the subject briefly.

And the topic was so important to the guests that I couldn’t ignore it.

“Is that so?”

“sure.”

With sharara~

An aura that fell from the sky seeped into the guests.
