I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 304

Quitting the company and opening a cafe Episode 304

Sua’s kite, which fell into the lake, did not sink but floated.

Of course, since the thread was connected, I could just pull it out and pull it out without any problems.

Stop!

“Oops! It’s disconnected!”

But it can’t be left that smoothly.

Su-ah hurriedly pointed to the boiled thread floating up.

It’s literally a kite with a broken string.

Now I had to go into the lake to pick it up.

Otherwise, we have no choice but to wait for the kite that hasn’t sunk yet to be carried by the current and come here.

“Ugh.”

Su-ah looked at the lake with a disappointed expression at that fact.

This was the end of an enjoyable camping trip, so I felt a little bit like that too.

“Let’s wait for now. They might come this way.”

“yes…….”

Since I don’t have any plans anyway, I decided to wait.

“Shall we sit down and wait?”

“Is that so? The lake looks different in the morning.”

Everyone sat down again, having unfolded their seats.

It was really convenient because all I needed was a simple chair.

So I sat back down and waited… … .

But I was bored just waiting, so I peeled the tangerines I received in the morning.

The eggs were still small. They were not fully ripe, and it seemed that they had probably ripened first.

Edible, but not commercially viable.

But this is also a big deal. Fruits are so expensive these days.

I picked off a juicy tangerine and put it in my mouth.

It was even more refreshing than I expected.

‘It’s delicious.’

The little guy is very full.

This was something I felt like I could eat endlessly while sitting down.

The eggs are small, so if you eat one, it’s even more disgusting.

Before I knew it, this was the third time.

“Oh my. I’ve already eaten this many tangerines.”

“me too.”

It wasn’t just me. Han Song-i and Lee Seon-ah, who were peeling tangerines next to me, also had three or four.

It’s fortunate that I’ve realized this now, but later on, when I peel a cool tangerine and eat it in front of the fireplace on a cold winter day…

‘I’m going to eat until my face turns orange.’

The third tangerine was peeled and the peel was removed, and put into Su-ah’s mouth, who was still attached to the lotus that had fallen into the lake.

“cadet!?”

“Eat. If you eat and wait slowly, it will come someday.”

“Ugh.”

Su-ah wasn’t in the mood to eat tangerines right now, but she didn’t spit out what was in her mouth.

Instead, he quietly stuck his mouth out like a baby sparrow.

“Is it delicious?”

“yes.”

“There are a lot, so take them with you when you go home.”

“Yes… … Ah! Sir. Please make me a tangerine tart!”

“Huh? Tangerine tart?”

Why a tangerine tart all of a sudden?

I tilted my head at Su-ah’s words.

Where have you seen it?

“These days, tarts with lots of fruit on top, called mountain tarts, are popular.”

“… … Was there such a trend?”

“Yes! Here!”

The screen of the phone that Su-ah held out showed several tarts with thumbnails printed on them.

I don’t know what it tastes like, but it definitely catches the eye.

“There’s a lot of this these days. It’s all about what’s trendy.”

“I see. Well, it doesn’t seem like it would be difficult to make.”

I’ve already made a tart. It was easy to make because it seemed like all I had to do was put a lot of fruit on it.

“Then what about this? It’s called croquis, which is popular these days.”

“Croquis? What is this?”

“Put the cookie dough on top and bake it!”

“… …Why would you do something like that?”

“They say this is delicious?”

I didn’t understand it, but just like Suah said, it was all about covering the croissant dough with cookie dough and baking it.

It seemed easy to make, but difficult to understand trends.

“Think about it.”

“Oh, why~”

“Croissants require a lot of work if you knead them by hand.”

Creating that layer that tears the knot required several layers of overlapping.

Of course, you have to press hard when overlapping. It was a really labor-intensive task.

It would be easier if there was a machine that could do this for me, but there isn’t one at Tiger Shelter…

And since I am not the owner of Sua’s personal cafe, I will not be able to accommodate all requests.

“I’ll do it next time.”

“When next time~. Once this trend ends, I won’t be able to post it on Stargram.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to make it once the trend is over.”

“Cheese!”

“More than that, why is that coming this way?”

“oh!”

It was easy to divert Su-ah’s attention.

Because the kite that was floating on the lake was gradually coming this way.

‘Sujeong-ah!’

─Turju! Can you see me now!?

‘I can see it.’

─Whew! I was worried!

Yeon was being held by Soo-Jung.

Miho was also next to me, but it seems she kept talking to me when the blessing effect wore off earlier.

Then, is what I felt like Soo-jeong and Mi-ho?

No. Then there would be no need for Rangi to chase after it and Baekgu wouldn’t have been on guard.

I don’t know what it is, but for now, it has reassured Soo-Jung and Mi-Ho.

‘Nothing like that will happen again.’

Of course, there were still restrictions on using one’s abilities outside of the Tiger Shelter, unlike in the Tiger Shelter.

Because I had to move the aura myself and control it one by one.

It was a kind of manual operation.

I’ve experienced this before, but it’s gotten more complicated than that.

Back then, I just used to throw away my aura without knowing anything, but now I control each one and use it delicately.

Still, it seemed like this one was better in terms of efficiency and ability.

Before, when I used to hit and pour Aura, it felt like I was being debuffed, but now it’s not like that.

Rather, it seemed like I would do better if I focused on just one thing.

The plan I’m using now was like that.

[mandarin]

*situation

─Intermediate

An ordinary tangerine looked like a peacock.

It doesn’t seem like much, though.

[mandarin]

*situation

─Intermediate (>>Advanced)

─Up to the highest level possible when ripened

*Promotion Conditions

─A place without light, 3 days, 23 degrees.

If you focus on the dog, you can see things like this.

Promotion conditions… … .

With this, I could have put in various fruit juices, jams, yogurts, etc. that I was currently storing in Tori’s cave under better conditions.

Until now it was just a guess, but now we can see it for sure.

“Yes! Oppa, you’re the best!”

“Wouldn’t it be better to just make a new one? It’ll get wet and won’t fly anyway.”

“No! My wish is in there.”

“You can just rewrite it.”

“If that’s the case, why bother writing it down? Just write it down in a notebook. That’s why I said no. These are all filled with earnest wishes, so why are you acting like a T?”

“… … How long are you going to use that MBTI?”

“Are you going to use it until the trend goes out?”

And while I was looking away for a moment, siblings Su-ah and Su-ho were bickering.

It looks like the two of them were dragged to the lakeside with a kite (which Soo-jung brought with her)… … .

Su-ah feels frustrated with Su-ho, who doesn’t understand the meaning behind the lotus.

It seemed like Suho was in a situation where he couldn’t understand Suah’s feelings.

Well, it wasn’t a very meaningful argument.

“Bring it here. I’ll dry it for you. Okay?”

“yes!”

Suah took the kite from Suho and gave it to me.

It’s a shame that I had to let the wood fire dry in the wind because I had just put it out. But this might actually be better.

Because if you dry it in the fire for no reason, it might shrink.

I thought it would dry quickly because it was made of hanji if I just let it dry slowly in the wind.

The weather is nice too.

“Let’s sit down and rest and then go once this has completely dried. Oh, Hyunwook, is that okay?”

“Of course. I have some time to spare. In the meantime, I’ll update Stargram a bit, you know. Oh, by the way! I have some photos that I need your permission to take a look at. Can you take a look?”

Choi Hyun-wook brought a laptop from somewhere and showed it to me.

Everyone gathered together and looked at the photos and videos taken during Chuseok.

“Oh! This! This is me!”

“It’s not a matter of choosing, it’s a matter of agreeing to upload.”

“Oh, of course I agree!”

Su-ah and Su-ho bickered here as if they were real siblings, but they were used to it so they ignored it.

As I was looking at them one by one and choosing the ones I wanted to exclude, I also ended up with pictures taken at the lake.

Everything I took in the peaceful scenery looked fine, except for one.

“uh?”

“Is there any problem?”

“this…….”

“This? This is a group photo, so of course the faces are covered. But if you do that, should I take it out?”

“No. Hmm.”

What? Choi Hyun-wook’s reaction was the same, and Han Song-i and Lee Sun-ah around him didn’t really react at all.

But I saw it in my eyes. There was something special about this photo.

That was the one thing that was missing from this group right now.

‘What is a ghost photo?’

It was blurry but clearly visible.

When I see things that other people can’t see… … it must be the effect of enlightenment.

Then, how about increasing the effectiveness of the eye opening more clearly?

It seemed clear.

A turtle floating in the air.

‘Why is there a turtle floating here?’

Rather than being scary, it was… … absurd.

If you look at the turtle in the photo, it was quite far away.

It seemed like he kept his distance to avoid being caught by Lang or Baekgu.

‘I think it’s him.’

If it was something I hadn’t seen before, it would have been really discouraging.

Because the turtle in the photo didn’t look threatening at all.

Rather, he looked very cowered.

Why did you come all the way here and take pictures of something like that…?

‘It doesn’t even look like a land turtle.’

Not only are there no land turtles in the wild in our country, but that turtle looks like a sea turtle.

There was no reason for it to be in a freshwater lake.

Unless I came up the river from the sea on my own feet.

It was a truly absurd situation, considering how far the sea was from here.

‘Sujeong-ah. Can you see this?’

─Yeah!

‘Hey, was he around the whole time we were here?’

─Yeah, yeah! I was hiding over there!

The place that Soo-Jung was pointing to was right towards the lake.

If he had been hiding in the water, it would have been natural for him not to have seen it even when the blessing of the Ssuk-Ssuk-I was in effect.

Even after running away to Rangi, you probably didn’t know because you hid in the lake. You just walked around the lakeside.

Knowing this made me feel a little empty.

Of course, thanks to that, I was able to use the blessings of Manseonggong and Teori even without Sooksooki’s blessing.

And for the better.

[Spirit of the Red Sea Turtle]

*situation

─Unfair

─Sadness

─Longing

Seeing things like this, it definitely seemed like it was beneficial to me.

No major side effects other than a little bit of surprise.

‘But since when did he start being attached to me?’

─Since the last time I came here!

‘Huh? Before? Could it be that it was from when you came here because of the pink one?’

─Yeah, yeah!

Well, it’s been quite a while longer than I thought.

And yet you didn’t know about it until now… … You didn’t come to the tiger shelter?

Well, if you had come there, there’s no way you wouldn’t have recognized me.

When I felt the guy with a feeling… … that creepy feeling in the charnel house?

It was just for a brief moment, but I felt that way.

─Yeah, yeah! It was there too!

‘But why didn’t you tell me?’

─Should I tell you?

‘… … Tell me next time.’

─Yeah, yeah!

‘By the way, if it had been there, it would have been around the whole time except for the tiger shelter. Why did I only feel it in the charnel house?’

─That’s where the yin energy gathers, so even if you hide, you can feel it if you open the portal!

‘Astronomy? What’s that?’

─Astronomy is astronomy?

The conversation with Soo-Jung seemed easy but was difficult.

I don’t know what it is, but I just typed it in. It’s better to slowly understand the meaning later.

“president?”

“Huh? Ah. This photo… … I guess it doesn’t matter.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. The pictures all came out well. I don’t mind if you upload them all as long as you cover the faces.”

Once I returned to the present life, I told Choi Hyun-wook that he could upload as many photos as he wanted.

And then, as I slowly got up from my seat and pretended to clean up, I thought about the state of the guy called ‘Turtle Spirit’.

It’s unfair.

I think I need to find out what is so unfair that it has appeared around me.

Of course, this was something I had to do at the tiger shelter.
