I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 302

Quitting the company and opening a cafe Episode 302
Could it be because it is an unfamiliar place and outdoors?
There was a somewhat cold feeling in the dream.
It’s not like I’m shivering, but rather a slight chill?
It was a dream where I felt the cold, the kind where a cold wind occasionally brushed the back of my neck and made me flinch.
They say that if you sleep outside, your mouth will become loose. Is that why? I know it’s a dream, but I don’t feel very good.
‘I’ve had many strange dreams, but this is the first time I’ve felt this way.’
Did he get stabbed by a pair of scissors? Or did he really sleep outside?
But for that, the camping equipment that Choi Hyun-wook had set up was too good.
The air mattress placed on the field bed blocked the cold air while also supporting the body firmly.
Not to mention the sleeping bag, the tent had an oil stove inside so it was very warm.
It was so cozy that I fell asleep as soon as I laid down. I thought it might be warmer than my house.
So it seems like this isn’t just a cold spell.
‘what?’
I don’t even know where the scenery in my dream is.
It was dark and quiet, as if I was underwater.
I also felt a little bit suffocated.
I tried to move to get away, but it felt like a very heavy weight was attached to my body and I couldn’t move.
It feels like you’re really underwater.
‘convection current.’
Just in case, I showed off my talent.
At first, there was no reaction. This was expected, since it was a dream and there was no aura.
But soon… … .
Ssrrrrrr!
The pressure of something pressing down on the surroundings began to weaken.
and!
Flash!
I opened my eyes.
At the same time, my body feels very heavy, as if I just went into water and came out. What is this?
Why~?
“Huh? Why are you… … .”
My chest felt unusually stuffy, so I raised my head and saw that Rangi was sleeping above me.
Could it be that he is the reason I had that dream just now?
“No, there are plenty of seats next to you, so why are you sleeping here?”
Even Su-ah and Su-ho were there. Su-ah is still short, so there is a lot of space in the camp bed… … .
Of course, he seemed to have tossed and turned a lot, but why did he have to sleep on top of me?
Huh?
It was an incomprehensible cat.
I had a strange dream and when I woke up I felt uneasy, but it seemed like it was because of this guy.
I pushed it aside slightly and got up.
It was still warm inside the tent. It was bound to get colder at night because it was by the lake, but it didn’t feel that way at all.
‘I guess it was because of Rangi that the blood flow was poor.’
There was no cold even in the field bed. In fact, it was hot.
The tent was filled with a warm, fuming atmosphere that made me want to lie down and go back to sleep.
I wanted to go back to sleep like this, but I woke up feeling a bit sleepy.
“Ah, that’s enough.”
Since it’s come to this, I think I should take a break for a bit.
I sat down and stared blankly at the warm fireplace.
The steady flame, unlike the fire caused by burning wood, was quiet.
A quiet fire.
It wasn’t bad.
But it seems that my taste is more of a dynamic wood fire. I quickly turned my gaze and looked around the tent.
Everyone slept well without waking up.
Rangi also lay down again and fell asleep.
The time when only I am awake.
‘I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep again if I lie down.’
It got a little ambiguous.
I glanced at the time and saw that it was soon dawn. Looking at it this way, it wasn’t much different from the time I usually wake up.
In the summer, I usually wake up after the sun rises, but these days, the sun rises definitely more slowly than in the summer, so it’s probably right around that time now.
‘I don’t think I can sleep. Should I go out?’
I think that would be better.
It would be nice to just sit there blankly staring at the fireplace, but since daybreak was just around the corner, it would probably be better to look at the lake view then.
I got up carefully and opened the tent slightly.
Hmm!
“Shh, shh. Are you coming out too?”
Flutter~ Flutter~
When I woke up, the sleeping swan must have sensed my presence.
Even though he may look dull, a dog is still a dog.
The little guy who came next to me, unable to even open his eyes, just wagged his tail without making a sound.
A movement that seems to follow along.
I wanted to have some time alone, but I guess that was impossible.
We had no choice but to come out together.
When I came outside, I saw a lake covered in dusk.
It must have gotten this bright already while I was talking to Baekgu for a bit.
Outside, camping equipment was still set up here and there, so there were plenty of places to sit.
I was about to randomly pick a chair and sit down… … .
“It’s damp.”
It was wet with dew, perhaps because it had been left on the lakeside overnight.
If there was sun, it would dry quickly, but since I was trying to see it rise, I couldn’t expect it to dry right away.
What should I do… … But I can’t dry it on the stove inside the tent.
“There’s nothing I can do.”
I just shook it off with my hand and sat down.
It felt slightly damp.
If there was any correction, I could have blown it away, but it was the time when the guy was sleeping.
I usually use them for various tasks, so I have to guarantee them enough sleep.
Instead, I decided to light a wood fire.
It wasn’t as cold as winter, but it was still quite cold for late autumn by the lake.
I was wearing simple clothes and it seemed like I could go straight into the tent.
Knock! Knock!
Fortunately, the firewood was placed in a place where it wouldn’t get wet with dew, so it caught fire quickly.
‘Good.’
Where did the swan go?
Oh, I had some urgent business to attend to.
A swan was seen coming out refreshed after doing its business in the grass by the lake.
The guy was about to go straight into the tent, but he quickly turned around when he saw the fire.
“Are you a little disloyal?”
Huh?
It’s like the medicine is taking effect, as if he’s tilting his head as if to say, “What are you talking about when I’m right next to you?”
I clearly saw him heading towards the tent.
Regardless, the swan knelt down at my feet and warmed itself by the fire.
I wonder if he likes this better than an oil stove.
‘I just don’t feel like going in… … .’
Of course, what do you think? Since the darkness has not yet completely cleared on the lake, it would be less scary to have a swan with you than to be alone.
Actually, the actual lake wasn’t scary.
Rather, it was slightly damp because my pants were still wet from touching the chair.
And this chill… …
‘For some reason, I remember that dream from earlier.’
Nothing happened, there was just pressure, but there was a sense of fear coming from it.
It meant that he got rid of it thanks to the swan and the wood fire.
“I feel a little better now that my body is warm.”
If you want to get better, you should warm up your body too.
I happened to have some hand drip coffee makers that I made yesterday and left next to me. There were also some coffee beans left.
So I decided to just have some warm coffee and drink it.
While grinding the coffee beans, water was heated over a wood fire.
‘This is good enough.’
Water that has been boiled once and then cooled slightly to an appropriate temperature. And coffee beans of an appropriate size.
I just poured some coffee.
The pour method was simple.
Pour 60ml of water evenly and allow about 40 seconds for it to go down.
And then again Poor.
I just had to repeat this about five times.
At this time, the speed at which the water flows down varies depending on the particle size of the coffee beans, so it had to be adjusted properly when grinding the beans.
This is because the water will drain exactly within 40 seconds.
If I could just get this right, everything else would be easy.
Originally I wrote this using my analytical talents… … .
Now, I don’t have to use it, but I’ve gotten used to it and can do it by feel.
Of course, it would be better to use them together.
‘The effect of the SsukSsuk blessing has worn off.’
The blessing effect of Ssuksuk allows you to use your abilities like Tiger Shelter even from outside.
But now, just as it happened, the duration of that effect has ended.
Well, it didn’t matter since we’d be heading back to the cafe as soon as the kids woke up. I even adjusted the grind size of the coffee beans by feel.
I decided to just leave it like this.
Drip coffee made like that.
I took a sip and the warm sensation spread from my esophagus where the coffee flowed to my stomach.
Snap!
The swan pricked up its ears when it heard me drinking something. But soon it seemed to know that it couldn’t eat it, so it turned its attention away and went back to sleep.
He’s a funny guy.
Come to think of it, all the furry animals around me were funny guys.
Rangido and Torido too.
“And they’re also some strange guys.”
They just seemed like ordinary guys, but they all had something going for them.
Tori was able to work the fields, and Langi, like last time, could see the snake of karma and had the power to fight it.
The potato that was sleeping with Choi Hyun-wook found a carrot in the garden.
Well, this actually seems like a coincidence… … Anyway.
“Do animals see things that people don’t?”
He may pretend to be the master of the world, but in reality he may be a pants president who cannot even see the world properly.
It seems like dogs, cats, and rabbits all see auras.
Hororok─
But since I didn’t know, I wondered if I could live like this.
If I see things like this, I would not have been able to live such a free and developed life as I do now.
I’ve gotten so used to this kind of life that I can’t even think about city life anymore.
Especially since I don’t have the Tiger Shelter ability, it felt a little awkward right now.
“Everything has its pros and cons.”
In a way, I thought that a place like Tiger Rest might serve as a buffer between the rhythm and the rhythm.
Here, remove the protruding nail and fill it in… … .
‘I guess when you’re alone, you end up having all sorts of fantasies.’
Now that my body was warm, I turned my gaze away from the lake.
I was feeling a bit shaky for no reason and was watching the fire, but now I’m okay.
It was still a place with a cold air, but the dawn that had begun to rise was slowly breaking the coldness.
It suddenly occurred to me that it would be pretty here even in winter.
‘Should I come again next time?’
Well, I’ll think about that later.
You can come back later if you think of it. The other side is fine too.
Rustle!
While I was thinking like that, I heard a noise.
I turned my head to see if anyone among the people sleeping in the tent had woken up… … .
“huh?”
There was nothing.
What is it? It was definitely a sound.
“… … It’s a bit strange.”
I don’t know if it was because of the dream I had earlier or just the temperature, but I felt chilly. It was definitely a strange dream.
I got up from my seat.
Huh?
The swan followed suit.
But the guy’s eyes weren’t looking at me.
“What did you see too?”
Growl!
The swan stood upright in an unusual manner.
Sure enough, it seems like there’s something there.
But there was one problem.
‘Now that I think about it, Ssuksuk’s blessing has completely taken effect, hasn’t it?’
Unfortunately, the effects of Ssuk-Ssuk’s blessing have completely worn off, so I can’t properly use the abilities I received from the Tiger Shelter.
Even if everything else were the same, I should have been able to use Gaean now… … .
I was flustered because I had never thought of a situation like this before.
I’ve thought about it before when I can’t use my abilities. It looks like the condition isn’t good, but I can’t see the text window with my eyes open.
But I never thought of a case like this.
The feeling that something unknown exists, and that I can see it all around me.
Growl!
It was even worse when the swan growled.
I had a feeling that it couldn’t go on like this.
But how?
‘Ssuksuk coffee beans?’
Suddenly, I saw the coffee grounds left after pouring the coffee.
There was a power of purification contained in it.
I heard it quickly.
Then he grabbed it with his hand and took a stance as if he was going to throw it at the place Baekgu was looking at. He then observed Baekgu’s reaction.
Somehow, it felt a bit more relaxed.
Did he retreat? But he still seemed to be on guard.
I also kept my guard up and kept observing the swan’s reaction.
So that you can sprinkle it anytime.
How long did it last? It probably wasn’t a long time, but it felt like a long time to me.
And finally.
‘Did you go?’
The swan’s fur lay down again.
Just when I was feeling a little relieved!
Why the heck!!
With a loud noise inside the tent, Rangi came out of the tent.
And then he started chasing after something… … .
He soon turned around and walked leisurely back, like a triumphant general.
Looking at that reaction,
“… … You kicked him out?”
I don’t know what they chased out, but it seemed like something like that.
If you look at the swan, it has already settled down and is lying down again.
