Quitting the company and opening a cafe Episode 297

Of course, it goes without saying that not everyone had a harmonious and happy time during the holidays.

Rather, because it was a day when people gathered, there were many incidents and accidents.

It’s the same here.

There was chaos due to the disappearance of a child.

But fortunately, it seemed like it would end with a happy ending… … .

There was a loud noise in the house, and silence in the cafe.

“Excuse me, if you don’t mind, can I take a picture of the child?”

“yes?”

“You look so cute right now. Oh, I take pictures like this.”

“Oh my! I’ve seen that on Stargram.”

The silence was broken first by Choi Hyun-wook. Then, when the mother asked if she could take a picture with the child playing with the potato, saying that it was cute, the child reacted greatly.

I heard it’s famous on Stargram, I guess it’s true.

“Sir! It’s our Baekgu too! You said you’d take a picture of Baekgu too.”

“Okay, okay. We’ll all take a picture together.”

There, Suah also asked me to take the pictures that she couldn’t take earlier.

I couldn’t take a proper picture because customers suddenly came rushing in.

It was possible now. Strangely enough, the people who used to flock there were not coming now.

As time goes by, that could be the case.

‘I somehow feel like this is one of the functions of the tiger shelter.’

Among the many functions, there were several that I thought were not visible on the outside.

One is to bring people who need healing here.

Another thing is to not disturb people who need healing like now.

I was just guessing because it doesn’t appear as a text window.

I’m almost half sure though.

If that’s true, then there will be no disturbance while the couple and child are here.

“I don’t know if it’s okay for us to be here like this.”

“It’s okay. I told you everything. Mom and Dad just told me to stay here.”

The couple who received the matcha latte took a careful sip and chatted quietly.

First of all, it seems like the child’s mother is worried about her in-laws…

The child’s father shouted at her, telling her not to worry. But it was understandable.

“But while the two of you are fighting like that, only we… … .”

“That’s acting.”

“huh?”

“Both mother and father are acting. They said that they planned to simplify the ancestral rites or even eliminate them altogether. Look at this.”

“oh!”

It seemed like he was showing me something on his phone, but when I glanced at it, it was a chat window.

I couldn’t see the exact content, but I could guess what it was about based on the conversation.

I guess they’re saying that the child’s parents’ in-laws are in the middle of an operation.

‘What a fun house.’

The parents-in-law of the child’s mother came forward and pretended to fight like that.

If the adults fought like that, it seemed certain that the operation would succeed.

I was fooled for a moment and thought it was real.

“So, you just rest here comfortably. I’ll come down later when Mom and Dad give the signal.”

“Yeah, yeah. I thought Mom and Dad were really fighting because of us. They’re not the kind of people who would do that.”

“I was fooled at first too.”

A smile lingered on the couple’s faces for a moment. But it was short-lived.

It gets dark again. That’s exactly when I see the child.

It seemed like there was a problem with the child. What could the problem be?

‘I think it has something to do with not talking.’

And maybe this is just something I can see… … but the aura flowing within the child’s body was also a bit strange.

The aura of ordinary people flows naturally through the body.

Soo-ah, Choi Hyun-wook, and even Gamja and Baek-gu were like that.

The same goes for the spirits Sujeong and Miho.

It was common for auras to be communicated naturally.

However, the aura in the child’s body was a bit different.

This was a bit different from the feeling of instability due to damaged vitality before.

It’s not that it’s unstable, but it feels like the flow is cut off and stagnant?

I don’t know the exact cause, but it seemed that way.

‘I don’t know the cause, so I can’t do anything about it right now.’

It seemed like there was no choice but to watch for now.

Fortunately, the child’s condition was fine except that he was unable to speak or make any sound.

“Wow! So cute! Baby! Look here!”

Su-ah tried to get the child’s attention by sticking next to Choi Hyun-wook.

At first he wasn’t interested, but after doing it a few times he started to react.

Looking at that, does it mean that they are only highly focused on the object of interest, but also react to external stimuli?

or not……

“I think Suah is more friendly than a real golden retriever.”

“i think so too.”

Could it be because of Su-ah’s friendliness, like Han Song-i said?

I acknowledge that I have an innate friendliness.

Even yesterday at the baseball stadium, after the talent grew from a flower to a fruit, it seemed like the talent had gotten even better.

Because Seungwon only reacted to Sooah’s words.

“That’s strange. It’s the first time I’ve seen Seungwon react like that.”

“Yeah. Do you like that kid?”

“I’ve never really been interested in people before… … .”

After hearing what the couple had to say, it became more certain.

Erase your initial thoughts and start reacting to external stimuli thanks to Su-ah’s talent.

Even though Lee Sun-ah walked around with a camera, and Choi Hyun-wook tried to get her attention, she didn’t react.

It only reacted to Suah, Gamja, and Baekgu.

Sometimes I would look at Langi, but the boy just lay there, seemingly uninterested in the child.

Maybe that’s why the child didn’t pay much attention.

Of course, that was nothing compared to them not paying any attention to us at all.

What’s the difference?

“Oh, right. Thank you so much, boss. Thanks to you, I was able to find my child, but thank you is late.”

“It’s okay. I hope you found the child safely. It’s not just me.”

“But thanks to you, boss, I was able to find him right away. Actually, my child is a little bit developmentally delayed. Maybe that’s why he speaks slowly and is quiet, so if it weren’t for you, while we were looking for him at home, he might have gone somewhere.”

“Ah, I see.”

I found out why.

So, you didn’t speak much and didn’t react to external stimuli?

It seems that the child’s development was slow. The child’s parents’ condition also seemed to be poor.

Wouldn’t any parent worry about that?

What if my child is developing slower than other children? Same.

But this couple actually has such worries… … so it’s hard to imagine how heavy their shoulders must be.

‘It’s really difficult.’

It was difficult to empathize with the parents’ feelings and to know what to do about the child’s condition.

No, I’m not sure if this is something that can be solved in a cafe in the first place.

‘But there must be a reason why they came here.’

That’s why I was drawn to the tiger shelter.

This was another one of the hidden features of Tiger Shelter that I thought people came here because they could solve it.

Of course, it was me who did that.

Something I have to find and do myself.

I vaguely knew now that it was something that happened at the tiger shelter.

Just like the big flow I saw at the baseball stadium.

The audience cheers for the players, and the players receive that strength and become stronger.

therefore…….

‘You’ll find it.’

I thought about it like that and thought about it.

How to resolve the situation of that child’s parents.

Perhaps it goes without saying, but improving the child’s condition would be the fundamental solution.

The child’s problem is the strange flow of aura. What if we fix that?

“convection current.”

“yes?”

“Oh, I’m talking to myself. Matcha latte tastes better when you mix it well. This is because I sprinkled it on top without mixing it to get that deep color. It’ll just collect in the syrup at the bottom.”

“Aha. Okay. Okay. I will do that.”

I was talking to myself without realizing it, and then the child’s father reacted.

But thanks to that, I think I was able to find a way to naturally change the subject while also solving the child’s problem.

If the energy isn’t flowing, then all you have to do is make it flow.

I just happened to acquire that talent.

If the talent of convection wasn’t just the ability to create aura flow, create fog, and create clouds, then perhaps it was possible.

“Is there anything on the menu that my child would like?”

We asked the children’s parents to find a menu that would be effective naturally.

Now that I think about it, not giving anything to the child was a good opportunity.

“My child is a bit picky about food… … um.”

“Oppa, no, boss, once you try the drink you’ll know that it’s really well made. Seungwon will probably eat anything too, right?”

Hansong-i added to the words of the worried child’s mother.

It was worth feeding the regulars well all this time.

“I wonder? Matcha latte is delicious, but… … Hmm. What would be good?”

“Well, don’t you like Seungwon’s new clothes?”

“That’s true. I go crazy over tangerines and oranges.”

“But there are no tangerines or oranges on the menu here.”

Oh. I swallowed my regret at the couple’s conversation.

Why do you like ingredients that aren’t here?

“Huh? If you like something refreshing, how about this? It’s green tea lemonade, it’s refreshing and clean.”

“It’s a little bit because of the green tea… … .”

“I tried it, and although it does contain green tea, it’s okay. It’s not bitter or anything. And this green tea is organic, grown right here in the cafe’s garden. They also process it themselves.”

Hansong winked.

I don’t know what he knows or why he’s doing this, but for now, it’s been a huge help.

“Oh, really? Then can I have this?”

“Of course you can. Oh, just in case, can I put in a small amount of green tea? I’m afraid you might not like it.”

“Oh my. Is that okay?”

“Of course. Please wait a moment.”

After receiving the order, I went into the kitchen and took out the green tea syrup and lemon juice.

‘The tea leaves of Muruk-i can show their true value.’

The coffee beans from SsukSsuk had the advantage of being able to effectively infuse my talents. However, there was also one drawback.

The point is that it is difficult to recommend to people who cannot drink or do not like coffee.

Of course, there weren’t many cases like that, but I couldn’t say that there weren’t any because it was exactly that kind of case right now.

Now, you can’t give coffee to a child who is probably only 4 or 5 years old just because you think it’s good for him.

Of course, green tea also contains caffeine. That’s why I said I would only add a small amount.

It tastes good, but I’m saying this just in case.

Removing it altogether is also a method, but then it won’t be effective.

‘Then… … let’s make it.’

analyze.

I found the optimal ratio to achieve the effect and taste I wanted.

And I made a drink using Cheonmu-gyeol. But something is lacking.

‘I think it might be a little lacking.’

I just added the convection talent as an effect, but even though I used the talents of the chemical element and consumed a lot of aura, the effect was a bit ambiguous.

▶ Strengthening the annihilation of evil spirits

This is because only this effect of green tea has been strengthened.

The child’s condition was not a problem caused by a peculiar negative energy. It was a problem caused by a blocked flow.

This wasn’t certain.

then…….

Cheonmu-pa.

Demonstrated a higher level of talent.

Shararang~

It is clear that the effect was achieved by utilizing the energy of the wood, but the energy of the five elements was evenly infused into the drink.

The effect that occurred then.

▶Haemaek (解脈)

I am convinced.

I think this will be enough to resolve the child’s condition.

As long as the child eats it.

“The drink you ordered is here.”

“Oh my. You just came out. Seungwon! Want some of this?”

The child’s mother took the drink and tried to feed it to Seungwon.

Whoosh!

“huh?”

… … I didn’t expect this?

Seungwon refused to drink the beverage.
