Quitting the Company and Opening a Cafe Episode 294

After finishing the party that wasn’t a celebration party for Suho’s victory and MVP, we returned to Cheonho-ri village and went back to our respective homes.

And instead of going home, I came to a cafe for a bit to collect my thoughts.

Being able to generate talents seemed like it would be a great help to the previously blocked talents of water and fire.

No, one has already been created in the talent of aquatic life, so it is already helpful.

Anyway, thanks to this surprising fact, I was able to eat beef halfway through, but my heart was filled with peace of mind.

‘No. It’s a bit disappointing. It was really delicious.’

The high-quality meat was complemented by fried rice and soybean paste stew, which was truly amazing.

Even though I was out of my mind, I definitely remember it clearly… … .

Because of that, I wanted to go to that restaurant again.

I finished half of the soybean paste stew full of seasoning and finished it off with white rice!

‘That’s too bad.’

I ate the last bit of beef on top of the soybean paste rice, and it seemed like it was still in my mouth.

If it weren’t for the change in the text window, I would have been able to savor it more.

“You can’t have everything.”

I’ll go and try it myself next time, so I’ll leave my regrets here.

I just thought about what I had newly acquired.

‘convection current.’

This is probably a talent that he realized while watching the cycle at the baseball stadium.

But isn’t it a little different from circulation?

I tried to show off my talents by recalling the time I was at the baseball stadium.

Then I felt the aura moving.

“huh?”

But that was literally the end of the aura moving.

But I could immediately and intuitively tell that it was strangely different from the cycle.

‘You’re creating a flow in the aura and making it move?’

There was something mysterious.

I just had no idea how to write this.

Should I use Harmony along with other talents?

I tried it again.

The auras moved. It wasn’t a huge flow of aura like at the baseball stadium, but the auras of the tiger shelter moved in a steady flow.

But I still don’t know.

How should I write this?

Should I use Harmony together with other talents?

He was tilting his head.

But… … I had a strangely ticklish feeling and was worried.

A frustrating state of not knowing what something is.

“Ah. I don’t know. I guess I’ll figure it out later.”

I’m a little tired today, so I decided to just stop here.

Talent doesn’t go anywhere, so there was no need to find out so hastily.

Eventually, like other things, you will slowly figure out how to use it.

Now that we’ve learned about talent, I’ve decided to start organizing things.

‘I almost forgot how much fun I had today because I was so focused on my talent.’

It was a really fun day.

In terms of time, it’s hard to say that it was just one day, but it was a day worth remembering if you ask me what kind of day it was today.

A large number of spectators, players running while being cheered on, etc.

I could feel the liveliness of a place where people live, which was completely different from the liveliness felt when looking at a vegetable garden.

‘Even when we look at the same thing, it feels different.’

What I see now is different from when I was working at the company.

Oh, of course, this was also due to the difference in talent for seeing. But even if I didn’t have talent for seeing, I think what I see then and what I see now would have been different.

Because now I have the luxury of fully feeling the heat and energy of the people.

I could enjoy it better.

I really wanted to recommend this. If you are feeling too tired or bored with your daily life and want to inject some energy into it.

Because it was a different kind of healing from the tiger shelter.

Of course, there were also people there who felt stressed rather than healed.

Too many people, and too obsessed with the competition itself.

Still, it was a place I would like to recommend at least once to guests looking for a tiger shelter.

“You’re so excited after only going there once?”

I found myself chuckling at the thought of this.

It seemed like I was just like a beginner who knew nothing and was excited.

Anyway, it was a good memory.

The baseball, the atmosphere, and the after-party.

It was even better for Suho because he got good results. And thanks to Suah, he met new people.

“He’s a great guy.”

Thinking about Su-ah made me think of that again.

Oh, he’ll do anything.

How could that have happened at that time when the atmosphere was ambiguous?

“That’s why they say that something fun always happens when Hansong is with Suah.”

Thanks to you, I also had a pleasant experience.

Even the baseball stadium itself was a place I went to thanks to that guy.

“Did you ask for a matcha frappuccino tomorrow?”

I said that before I went home. I was happy to do it since it wasn’t difficult.

And what else can I do for you?

Let me think about that for a moment… … .

“huh?”

What is it? I suddenly felt something strange.

I don’t know what to say, but should I say it feels foggy?

There’s fog inside the cafe.

That can’t be true… … .

“What is this?”

I looked up and around the cafe, and it really felt a little hazy.

─Turju! Look at this!

“Sujeong-ah. What is this? Did you do it?”

─No! It was Turju!

“I?”

─Yeah, yeah!

The inside of the cafe became humid as if fog had settled in.

Then, Soo-Jeong flew around the cafe as if she was in a good mood.

What does that mean when you say I did this? Wait… … .

“no way?”

I confirmed it was an aura, not fog.

The convection of the aura I had created earlier was still continuing.

This was more of a phenomenon of inertia than something I did.

But with that phenomenon… … fog was forming.

“What the?!”

He was so surprised that he showed off his convection talent.

And stopped the flowing aura.

Then, the flow of aura returned to its original state, and the inside of the cafe, which had been cloudy, became clear again.

I was surprised.

I did something, was it this kind of talent?

“This… can you really control the weather?”

I’m not sure exactly, but if you can create fog, you can create clouds, and then rain?

Oh, was this too much? But… … it didn’t seem impossible.

I quickly went out to the backyard.

And here we tried convection again.

At first, there was no significant change as before.

The aura just flowed.

But this time, I didn’t miss it and continued to observe the phenomenon created by the flow of aura.

Sssssss!

As expected, fog forms after a while.

It looks lighter and narrower than when I saw it in the cafe, but it’s still there.

And the fog thus created rose over the crops in the garden and moistened their leaves.

It was just the right amount.

Not too wet, not too dry.

“I guess I don’t need a separate sprinkler.”

As the garden expanded, watering it became more difficult.

But I never thought it would be resolved like this.

‘It’s not like it can completely soak the ground, so it’s probably going to need some help from the crystals or some watering, but it’s still somewhere.’

Just becoming moist like morning dew was a huge deal.

And the convection talent was something I had just acquired. I wonder what would happen if I grew it further… … .

‘It would be hard to find someone with this kind of talent, right?’

As I thought about it, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

Maybe the situation where talent absorption has almost become talent growth is helpful to me now.

There is a high probability that there will be no one with this talent, so it would be difficult to acquire similar talents and develop special talents such as convection talent… … .

If you develop the talent itself divided into the five elements, something like this is possible.

Although growth will be slower than directly acquiring the same or related talent.

“Good.”

On the positive side, this seemed better.

By the way, the convection talent was really amazing. It was as if I had become a spirit like Soo-Jung.

Of course, along with the surprises came new concerns.

‘How should I write this?’

It was a fun dilemma.

The next day. I left early in the morning.

This year, Chuseok falls on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. If you include the weekend, it’s five days.

Perhaps because of this, everyone seemed to be leaving for their hometowns late, so the village was still quiet.

Still, I decided to go quickly since it would be filled with people who had come down to their hometowns in the afternoon.

The place we were going to was a columbarium near the village.

Originally, I was planning to bring you to Seoul, but somehow I ended up bringing you to a place near the village.

My grandfather and my parents too.

I guess it’s just my imagination that today, on a clear day, feels so gloomy.

The columbarium we arrived at was deserted.

As I went inside, I felt a strange silence.

‘It’s pretty full here too.’

When I first brought my parents here, the place was completely empty, but now there are quite a few people there.

I tried not to look, but as I passed by, I couldn’t help but see it.

There were a variety of people. Children, youth, and the elderly.

Should we say that this is a place where everyone is equal?

After passing those people, I stood in the place where my parents and grandfather were.

“It’s been a long time.”

I said hello to my grandfather and parents for the first time in a long time.

But there was no answer in return.

The words engraved in front of my parents seemed to welcome me.

─Let our family be happy.

I don’t know if it was a will or something my grandfather did.

It’s just been like this since I was little.

However, sadly, I don’t have many memories of the two people who passed away in an accident when I was young, so I didn’t have much to stand around and talk about for a long time.

Just saying I’m doing well.

I turned my head towards my grandfather.

“How is it there?”

I could still hear my grandfather’s voice, and imagined it in my head.

It’s like saying, ‘Well, it’s good that it’s not noisy.’

But it’s really strange. It seems like that’s what my grandfather really was.

Somehow I felt like I would be really comfortable.

‘By the way, what the heck is a tiger shelter?’

I asked what I wanted to ask the most.

Of course, there was no answer.

All I could see was a picture of my grandfather smiling, but the background behind him looked familiar.

It was a tiger shelter.

I wonder if Grandpa runs a tiger shelter there too. That wouldn’t be so bad.

‘Looking at it, I really want to go to the tiger shelter.’

The greeting didn’t take long.

He made a quick promise to come back again soon.

Even though the remains are placed here, it’s not like we can’t remember them being somewhere else.

We said goodbye around here.

And as I was about to leave… … I suddenly had a strange feeling.

Should I say that it feels like someone is watching me?

But when I looked around, I was the only one there.

… … Is this a mistake?

It’s a little creepy that this is a columbarium.

I came out in a hurry.

I was under the warm sunlight, so I didn’t feel that way at all.

And the sky, which had felt heavy until just a moment ago, felt light and bright.

I wanted to go back to the tiger shelter right away.

I got in the car and went straight to the cafe.

And as I was walking up the path, I felt something in the empty space.

Could it be that something I felt in the ossuary has followed me?

Wasn’t it just a mistake?

My steps stopped for a moment as my thoughts trailed off, but I soon started going up.

There was a guy waiting for me in the empty lot.

“You… … a potato?”

Woof woof!

Why that guy?

no way…….

“Oh my. Hello. We arrived first in a place where there are no people yet.”

“Whew─. I’m surprised.”

“I’m sorry. Was that too rude?”

“No. No. That’s not it. Well, there is something like that.”

I was surprised.

Fortunately, the potato was not a spirit. The guy’s owner came out from the shade of the tree and greeted him.
