I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 37

Episode 37

I was talking about a broken sign a while ago.

“Hmm. Maybe it was a wild boar.”

“I guess so?”

The village chief also nodded after hearing the story.

It was said that the mother dog of the swan may have been attacked by a wild boar, so it was highly likely that there were wild boars around.

Of course, it wasn’t certain.

Since I haven’t seen either of them directly, I’m only guessing.

It rained a few days ago and all traces disappeared… … .

“I’m not sure, but I think it’s better to be careful. We should gather some people and go on a search soon. You, don’t try to catch them on your own. You know what wild animals are like? If you encounter one, contact them immediately or run away.”

“Of course. I don’t think so either.”

Catching a wild boar all by yourself.

I think that’s an idea that only the village chief can come up with.

Even if you don’t say so, I plan on avoiding it no matter what, so I just nodded to the village chief’s words.

Hehe!

Regardless, the swan kept running towards them, asking to play.

An innocent expression as if he knows nothing.

When I first saw it, I would have just laughed at its appearance. But maybe because I heard a slightly sad story, I felt a little sad.

Of course, this is just me projecting my past onto him.

“Stop asking. You have spit all over your hands. Are your teeth ticklish?”

Either way, the guy was busy messing around.

The kid, whose teeth hadn’t even grown in yet, bit it, so it didn’t hurt, but it quickly became covered in saliva.

“Stop. Wait. Sit down.”

Okay!

“oh?”

I just ordered it because they kept asking for it.

But then he realized right away and sat down on the floor with his butt pressed against it.

And then he looks up and tilts his head.

That swan guy, he’s smarter than he looks.

at that time!

“You punk! If that’s the case, then follow me and live!”

The village chief looked slightly upset when he saw that and said something to Baekgu that he didn’t mean.

Then, as if he was quick-witted, Baekgu went to the village chief and started acting cute.

You’ll be good at social life too.

“Then I will go and see.”

“Okay. Be careful when you go.”

“Yes, you too, Chief.”

“Haha! That’s right. Oh my. This looks delicious.”

I decided to stop playing and go back slowly.

As we greeted each other, the village chief smiled and pointed to a glass bottle containing the tea.

Looking at that sight, it felt as good to give as it did to receive.

“Yes. See you next time.”

Hehe!

After saying goodbye to the swan, I got back on my bike and headed down the road. I passed the village chief’s wide field and headed to the tiger shelter where our small and precious garden was located.

The way back was quick.

I quickly arrived at the path and took a quick look around the sign.

As expected, there were no other traces. It must have been erased after the rain.

‘Um… …but why do I feel strange?’

He looks the same as usual, but is it because he heard about the wild boar in the village chief’s field?

The scenery of the quiet, secluded path feels somehow unfamiliar.

Should I say that it feels like someone’s gaze is constantly following me?

Strangely, I had the illusion that I could hear breathing sounds that weren’t my own.

And that means… … .

Hehe!

“uh?”

The sound of breathing from behind told me that it wasn’t a feeling, but a fact.

“You, since when have you been following me?”

Hehe!

The owner of the breathing sound was a swan smiling brightly.

I clearly saw him with the village chief, but the untied country dog ​​was too free-spirited.

I should have known from the moment I found it in a place other than the village chief’s field…

“Wait. Sit down.”

Okay!

In the meantime, you listen well.

But what should I do with this guy?

I called the village chief. He also said that he had a headache.

─That bastard. You followed me? What should I do? I just got in my car to report a wild boar.

“Oh, really? Then I’ll keep it for a while.”

─Would you do that? I’m sorry about that.

“No, it’s okay. Take your time and come back after you finish your work.”

There’s nothing I can do about it since you left because of what I said.

I decided to just keep it with me since the village chief wasn’t there and I thought it might come back again.

‘There are already two other kids besides this one.’

I’m just keeping it for a little while.

I’m rather curious about Lang’s reaction.

then…….

“let’s go.”

Hehe!

No matter what the situation was, I took the excited guy and went up the trail.

But… … The moment I stepped onto the empty lot, my light steps became heavy again as I thought about seeing Lang’s reaction.

Because there was something that wasn’t there before in the vacant lot.

Who placed a rock in the shade under the tree without my knowledge?

That’s weird.

Even the rocks move.

Up, down, up, down.

It rumbling as if I was breathing.

And crucially.

[wild boar]

The text window floating above the rock was enough to set off a red alarm in my head.

It wasn’t a rock.

It’s so big it feels like a rock!

‘wild boar!?’

I screamed inwardly at the identity of the unfamiliar thing.

* * *

For a moment, I was frozen in that state of bewilderment and shock.

The wild boar also opened its eyes as if it sensed something.

And then, when he came face to face with me, his thought process went like, “Ice! Ding!”

What should I do?

I have never had this experience.

‘Shall we run away along the quiet path?’

Still, I was lucky to have the talent and tenacity to handle times like these.

My body was stiff, but my mind was still sharp and my head was spinning.

First of all, I didn’t make any noise in order to avoid provoking her as much as possible. Then, I looked around and desperately thought of a way to overcome the situation.

I thought it was calm itself, but I didn’t have time to realize it.

‘It’s a bit tricky to run into a cafe from the street. If a wild boar comes running, you’ll just run into it in an empty lot.’

Then there is no place to escape.

In that case… … would it be best to go down the quiet path?

The boar may be faster, so you may be able to catch up, but the boar, which has gained momentum on the downhill, may be more vulnerable to changes in direction due to its inertia.

Of course, this is just a fantasy in my head, so I don’t know if it will actually happen…

Still, that’s the best we can do for now.

Otherwise… … .

at that time!

The boar reared up as if it had noticed something.

Then, the rock that had been just a little bigger grew bigger and gave off an incredibly intimidating feeling.

To the point where my feet were frozen solid.

‘this!’

Whether or not he knew it, the boar was closing in on him.

Now, what should I do?

The moment when I recalled the special abilities I had gained at the cafe, along with the fear and thrilling tension I felt for the first time in my life!

The text window above the boar’s head came into view again.

The condition was described with a dull aura, just like the guests who visit this place.

[wild boar]

*situation

─Anxious about the baby

─Hunger

As soon as I read that, I looked around the wild boar.

‘Puppy! Where is the puppy?’

Judging by the condition, there must have been puppies.

Are you hiding around?

I kept looking but I couldn’t see it.

In the meantime, the wild boar was slowly closing the distance.

When I met those wild eyes, my body definitely froze.

Now my heart was pounding like it was going to burst.

My breathing was so rapid that I thought even a wild boar could hear my heartbeat, and I could feel cold sweat running down my back.

This theory won’t work.

While I was looking around more urgently and desperately!

‘uh?’

I found one more thing that stood out.

It wasn’t a piglet.

What I discovered were auras.

Auras that had flown in from the backyard garden had gathered around the wild boar.

‘why?’

As if staying with a rabbit playing in the garden.

Even the aura that was hovering over the wild boar flew towards me.

Why are they doing this again?

‘Wait… … this?’

As I looked at the auras, I suddenly realized that I was missing something important.

As soon as I realized that, I felt calm as if cold water had been poured on me.

The state shown to the boar was the same as the text window that was only visible to guests.

To catch my breath for a moment when I’m tired from running forward.

Or, it is what is visible to those who seek to catch their breath.

Add a dull aura to this… … .

‘Could it be that he needs a shelter too?’

I read the status again.

The boar was feeling uneasy.

It certainly wasn’t much different from the people who came here and needed a break.

Well then, let’s use it.

Because that’s what I can do best right now.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the solution came to mind right away.

‘It seems like they’re looking for their pup, but how do I resolve that anxiety?’

No matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t see the chick.

And if you have kids, is there any reason for you to be here?

‘None.’

So how can I resolve this anxiety?

The answer is.

Pororoong~

“… … !”

I guess it was over there.

He began to quietly ‘tune’ towards the wild boar and the auras flying around the empty lot.

It was a method that utilized another tuning discovered in the garden where rabbits and ranches were running around.

Turn on the relaxing ambient sounds that can calm your mind.

How to reduce sharp, disturbing sounds.

I chose an aura that had a lot of worries and attached it to the boar.

And her lively and playful aura drew me towards her.

Kreung?

The boar tilted its head as if it sensed something.

And until just a moment ago, he was feeling anxious and had less and less desire to blow up everything around him.

‘Okay!’

I feel relieved that this method was right… … .

Hehe!

I forgot about it for a moment.

The fact that the swan also came up here.

The swan wags its tail without fear at the sight of the wild boar.

This wasn’t good.

Why today of all days?

‘Back. Go back.’

Should I provoke the barely calmed boar again?

I couldn’t bring myself to make a sound and tried to send the swan behind me.

But the swan didn’t know my feelings and stepped forward.

Then the boar’s gaze completely shifted from me to the swan.

this!

The boar’s eyes changed again.

at the same time…….

Wow!!

The swan ran towards the wild boar without even being able to do anything.

He gritted his teeth at the sight of the wild boar running towards him.

And just as he was about to jump in to save the swan!

‘uh?’

My body froze at the strangely strange feeling.

The strangeness came right from the swan’s text window.

[Swan]

*situation

─Happy to meet you

Nice to meet you?

Not hostility?

Taking advantage of the confusion, the swan ran up to the boar’s nose and wagged its tail.

And to that swan, the wild boar is… … .

Sniff sniff!

He sniffed at it and played with it as if it were a puppy.

No, what is the situation now?

‘You don’t think that swan is a baby… … Hey, you don’t think so, do you?’

But if not, I couldn’t explain what I was seeing now.

A look that is incomprehensible.

But I knew that I wasn’t in a position to understand all of that right now.

Swish.

First, I adjusted the auras around the wild boar and the swan.

This time, the auras had a slightly brighter personality.

Then, the auras flew around the two of them excitedly.

The atmosphere between the two improved.

Who would have thought that a wild boar and a country dog ​​could get along well… … .

I even heard that the swan may have lost its mother to a wild boar?

But in the meantime, the anxiety in the wild boar’s condition disappeared.

‘……I don’t know.’

It was a really unknown situation, but anyway, it wasn’t bad at the moment.

Rather, it was good.

The wild boar was still wary of me, but it didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking me right away, perhaps thanks to the swan.

So, please contact the village chief quickly… … .

Gulp~

The moment he was about to do so, a clear and beautiful sound echoed through the empty space.

Today has been a series of truly unpredictable events.

“… … Would you like to order?”

It may be a little absurd, but I decided to welcome a slightly different kind of guest who came to this place.

Of course, it was the owner’s special since a wild boar couldn’t possibly place an order.
