I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 36



Only Krnovel

Episode 36

A pure white rabbit ran through the green garden.

Often he would dig the ground and roll around on it.

At first glance, it may seem like an ordinary scene, but with the auras joining in, it looks like a fairy tale-like scene.

Like a cave under an old tree stump.

A landscape like a garden where fairies live.

The only peculiarity is that I am steeping apple mint tea right next to him… … .

By the way, there was one more thing that stood out.

‘Should I say that the auras’ presence has become stronger?’

At that time, I was carefully observing the changes in the aura.

Suddenly I realized that the auras were weaker than when I first saw them.

That it is just recovering now.

“So the one doing that is the rabbit?”

The rabbit seemed to be just running around the garden without thinking much.

Sometimes I would taste the crops. And when I did, the presence of the auras around me became stronger.

“Is that also… … a cycle?”

Suddenly, I remembered Potato, the golden retriever who came to visit me before.

I learned about circulation back then, but I seem to have forgotten it.

Thanks to that, SsukSsuk grew so big… … .

Here, the Aura’s growth is aided by the talent of ‘Tuning’.

Also, the rabbits running around in the garden that has grown like that heal the aura.

Of course, the question still remained as to how the rabbit could do that.

But does that matter?

This was a shelter.

A place where everyone can rest.

In such a place, if it can revive the aura that has lost its strength from strengthening the garden, it should be welcomed.

“Here. Eat this too.”

beep?

I shook one of the mints, not yet coated in sugar, and the guy showed interest.

The guy approached cautiously, took the plump mint, and quickly began to chew it with both hands.

Omnyumnyum.

Why are we watching this expressionless mukbang with no discernible emotions?

As I watched the rabbit’s mouth gradually turn mint-colored, I felt somehow entranced.

Then, after I finished eating a whole mint, I came to my senses.

“Ah. This is not the time.”

I came to my senses and continued to work on making apple mint tea.

The rabbit wandered around curiously.

Why~!

When Rangi ran over to them, protesting, asking why they were playing without him, the two of them started to run around the garden together happily.

If it were before, I would have asked why they were playing in the garden like that, but now that I know that it helps the Auras… … .

I just thought it would be like that.

‘It’s nice and not boring.’

The sound of singing coming from the cafe and the sight of rabbits and Rangi running around in the garden really matched the scenery here.

So, just by watching, time flew by.

“huh?”

My eyes were on the garden, but thanks to my hands that didn’t rest, the glass bottles were already full.

It was quite pretty, with the colorful blues contained within the transparent glass.

‘I guess I can just leave this on display in the cafe.’

And now you just have to wait for the sugar to dissolve and turn into a syrup.

But is the mint color on the corner of the rabbit’s mouth okay?

beep?

Well, I guess I’ll clean it myself.

Let’s just leave it because it seems cute.

I prepared to leave work, taking only a few glass bottles containing syrup whose sugar had not yet dissolved.

* * *

I gave one of the blue ones I brought to Su-ah and Su-ho.

When I told him to mix it with soda water or cider and drink it after the sugar has dissolved, he really liked it.

Suah said she wanted to give one to her friend too, so I gave her another one.

Of course, Suho wanted to pay the price, but he just pushed it aside, saying he would just accept the apology.

Instead, he later threatened to bring his friends and ask them to increase sales.

It’s a kind of sales strategy.

Since my friends on the baseball team will eat well, I think I can prepare a lot.

And the remaining blue in the glass bottle could not be given right away, and the owner was not found until the next day.

however.

“Huh? You left already?”

I was loitering in front of the blue gate house, checking to see if there was any noise inside, but no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t feel any noise.

The lights aren’t even on.

It means that he hasn’t woken up yet or has already gone out…

Considering the village chief’s tendency to always leave home early, it seemed like it would be the latter.

But just in case, I think I should wait a little bit… … .

“Hey, aren’t you the grandson of Cheon Yeong-gang? Why are you loitering around here?”

“Oh! Hello. I was wondering if the village chief was here.”

“That gentleman would have already left.”

“is it so?”

An old man who seemed to have come out to work in the fields happened to pass by, saw me, and spoke to me.

You’re leaving really early.

“These days, if I don’t go out at dawn, I can’t work. It’s so hot.”

“iced coffee.”

Well, it’s hot in the middle of the day now unless you’re in the shade.

“But can you leave now, sir?”

“Keep on going! You have to have a large piece of land like a village head to be busy. Even if you go out now to a field the size of a mouse’s droppings, you’ll be back in no time.”

I tilted my head at the old man’s words as he spoke with a smile.

Mr. Lee, was your land that big?

My memory was vague up until that point.

When I was young, I had no concept of land area.

“Chief, can you tell me where your field is?”

“The field? Why? Let’s go and see?”

“Yes. I’ll stop by soon.”

“I see? Then just go straight over there. That’s all the village chief’s field.”

“thank you.”

“What? Look at the work~”

The old man who gave me good information went off to do his work coolly.

I thought about it for a moment.

I wonder if it’s just a distraction from my work.

But the conclusion was quick.

“Well, just for a moment.”

What could happen?

He also told me to come play in the field before.

I’ve been interested in that area lately thanks to the vegetable garden, and I wanted to see what the village chief’s field was like.

I rode a bike.

Since I was told it wasn’t far, I decided to stop by and go to the cafe on my way to work.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been here.”

When I was young, I wandered around a lot.

As I rode my bike along the country road leading to the fields, old memories came flooding back.

It wasn’t difficult because the slope wasn’t too steep and I could enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Oh, maybe it’s because my stamina has improved.

anyway.

As I was riding my bike along the road that was suddenly filled with greenery, I could feel the refreshing air that cooled my heart.

okay.

These days, I’ve been going back and forth between cafe, home, cafe, home.

Of course, that’s because it’s fun and rewarding, but there should be something like this too.

I slowed down my pedaling a little.

I was thinking of going while enjoying the scenery.

“Oh. What field is that?”

I also looked around the surrounding fields.

A vinyl house was also visible.

I wonder what they grow there.

I stopped for a moment to look around.

at that time!

Hehehe!!

“huh?”

A puppy came running from somewhere.

Little yellow one?

The legs were strangely short, the snout was black, and there was a somewhat resentful expression and droopy ears.

He was a very nagging, country dog.

These days, people don’t call it a shit dog, they call it a shigorbjabjong.

But, as if he wasn’t shy, he came right over and acted very friendly.

“What? Where are you from?”

Hehe!

“Ouch. I’m losing my mind. Just stay still.”

Is it because I only see Rangi’s very noble aegyo and refined appearance these days?

No. He’s a dog-like cat, so he’s a bit distracted.

Still, it seemed impossible to keep up with the distracting behavior of this country dog.

I was out of my mind.

Even though I’m just waggling my tail and sticking my stomach out…

“I have to go. You go home too.”

Hehe!

“No. Go home.”

If I fell for her any more, it seemed like morning would pass by before I could even give the village chief a mint tea.

So I sent it back where it came from and was about to go back… …but the guy kept chasing me.

He comes running with a bright smile on his short legs. What should I do?

“You. Where do you live?”

“Gya is the village chief’s white swan~”

“Huh? Oh! Is this the village chief’s dog?”

“Okay~”

Luckily, an elderly man who saw this in a nearby field answered the question.

But everyone really comes out early.

While we’re on the subject, I have one more question.

“Excuse me. By the way, do you know what kind of field that is?”

“Huh? That one? It’s not a peach.”

“Ah! It’s a peach tree. Thanks for letting me know.”

“what.”

As expected, all the elders here are cool in some way.

The old man I saw in front of the village chief’s house earlier was like that too.

Hehe!

“Huh? You want me to go? You want me to follow you?”

As I was standing for a moment looking at the peach orchard, a swan wagged its tail and waited in front.

It seemed like he was telling me to follow him.

Since it’s the village chief’s dog, are you going to guide it to your house?

I don’t plan on staying long, so I decide to follow the swan…

But why a swan?

It’s yellow.

“Well, then that’s how it is. Let’s go. You take the lead.”

yes!

As I pedaled my bike, the guy took the lead with excitement.

The way he walks looks really exciting.

Thump thump thump.

‘It definitely feels different from a cat.’

I felt it even during the potato season, but a happy dog ​​is really lively.

As I followed that guy, I soon arrived at a wide field.

“… … Wow. Surely this isn’t all the village chief’s field?”

But the scale was truly enormous.

So much so that you can’t see the end?

“How do you manage all that?”

At that moment, a question suddenly occurred to me.

Choaaaak~

It rained from a cloudless sky.

It was rain coming from a drone.

‘That’s amazing.’

There is no way to compare it to the garden at the tiger shelter.

Surely, if you do that, you can manage even a large garden.

Of course, even if there was something like that, it would still require human intervention… … I’m sure the village chief will take care of that.

Than that.

Sarah~

The morning sun shone through the rain falling from the drone, creating a rainbow over the field.

I stared blankly at the sight.

I came here to repay even a little of what I received.

Looking at that makes me feel like I’ve been given it again.

A rainbow that dazzles even the eyes with the scent of the moist morning earth, grass, and phytoncides emitted by trees.

It was a good thing I didn’t go straight to work at the cafe.

‘I have to travel often. The work is fun, but I can’t live like I used to.’

I thought that while I enjoy my work, I should experience things like this more often.

Kang! Kang!

After losing my mind for a moment and experiencing unexpected healing, I came to my senses because of a sound coming from somewhere.

It’s a bit of an odd sound to come from a field.

The sound happened to be coming from the direction the swan was going.

And at the end of it was a small building that looked like the village chief’s hut.

“let’s go.”

Hehe!

I don’t know how many times I’ve stood and left, but it seemed like this would probably be the last time.

Following the swan, we entered the shack that would be our final destination.

The sight that appeared then made my mouth drop open.

“Chief?”

“Huh? What brings you here so early in the morning?”

“Uh, well. I came to give you this… … .”

The village chief, with his shirt off, got up, showing off his angry muscles.

No, is that a human body?

It was a muscle that looked like a chunk of rock that had been split open.

I knew you were in good health, but I didn’t know it was to that extent.

And… … why are there so many exercise machines in the tent?

I also saw some unusual machines that I hadn’t seen even in a city gym.

‘You came out early in the morning to exercise?’

I thought you were doing farm work.

“What are you staring at? What is this?”

“Oh, I made this drink with the apples you gave me before and the mint from the cafe garden. Since the sugar has all dissolved, it will be good if you mix it with soda water or cider.”

I came to my senses at the village chief’s words and gave him a glass bottle filled with green tea.

“What is this? Heh heh!”

“Hey, I got a lot of things. What? But did you exercise here?”

“Oh, here? I just made it to use when I go there.”

Is this something that can be done on the go?

The weight of the plate mounted on the bar alone must be no joke.

“Swan, you punk! Where have you been rolling around again?”

Hehehe!!

“What the heck? Look at this guy? You look like you like him?”

The village chief’s gaze turned to the swan.

But the swan hid behind me.

Well, I think I would hide if I saw those muscles…

Fortunately, the swan quickly went back to the village chief and started acting cute.

And then he was immediately caught by the village chief and had his ass kicked and shaken until he was covered in dust.

Oh, this was really just a story about brushing the swan’s fur.

‘The yellow color was because of the dust.’

It’s not quite a swan, but seeing the guy back in his country ivory tones, I can see why he was named that.

“You little shit, stop rolling around. Oh my gosh… … Big! But did you come all the way here just to give me this?”

The village chief, who was playing with the swan for a while, suddenly realized that I was watching and asked, clearing his throat.

“Oh, yes. I came here to take a look around after a long time. But the field is huge, isn’t it?”

“It’s not that big. It’s just wide.”

It’s not just that wide… … .

Compared to this, my garden was just a piece of cake.

But if you are like that, well… … .

By the way, you really like swans.

It was a little unexpected.

“Great! But how did you find me? It must have been a bit far.”

He must have felt embarrassed because he was staring at me touching the swan, so he coughed in vain and changed the subject.

“He guided me on the way here. He was really smart.”

“It’s smart, but it’s weak. It was a wild boar or something, and its mother died, and it was right next to her. I felt bad for it, so I brought it here to feed it, but it just sat there all day. It knows the map, and it’s safe here.”

Although his words sounded like a headache, there was a smile on his face.

That’s how you express smartness.

But I think I just heard something even more surprising than that.

“A wild boar?”

“Be careful these days. Wild animals come down here often. Instead, why don’t you try growing your body too?”

“… … Uh, um, I’ll think about it.”

Even if I grow bigger, I don’t have the confidence to fight a wild boar.

I don’t know about the village chief.

Rather, a real wild animal is coming down?

‘Come to think of it… … .’

There was one thing that came to mind.
