I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 38



Only Krnovel

Episode 38

Naturally, the only thing that could be given to the wild boars was crops from the garden.

Pickled tomatoes and greens, with a few apples left. And maybe some mint?

The menu seemed to be very lacking.

But that seemed to be enough.

It seems that the boar feels more satisfied with the relief of being filled with swans than with satisfying its physical hunger.

After giving it to the owner, I sneaked out and came into the cafe.

Although the wild boar’s wariness had eased considerably, I was worried that it might be uncomfortable because it was still completely unaware of me.

Well, I didn’t really want to get involved in that either.

‘It’s strange.’

I still don’t know what happened.

Why do swans welcome wild boars, and why do wild boars treat swans like their babies?

You wouldn’t know the difference between my baby and a swan, would you?

So, if I run a simulation in my head… … .

‘Did you know a mother swan and a baby swan when you were in the wild?’

The village chief also said he didn’t know exactly where the swan came from.

He just said he picked it up in the mountain.

The mother was already dead and only the swan remained.

The circumstances before that could only be guessed at, but one of them was that the mother boar had died.

But if that was the case, the swan would not have been so happy and pleased with the wild boar.

If so, then the speculation is erased.

And other guesses took their place.

It is assumed that the wild boar, the mother dog, and the swan already knew each other in the wild mountains.

The mother swan and the wild boar originally knew each other.

Then, the story of a mother dog giving birth to a swan and a wild boar treating the swan as its own baby came to mind.

It seems unlikely, though.

Even if you just look at the animals with special connections that occasionally appear on TV, there are cases where it doesn’t exist at all.

The village chief also said that he did not personally see a wild boar harming a mother dog.

Someone said they saw a wild boar near the mother dog and the swan, so that’s what I was guessing.

so…….

“hmm.”

The truth was, that appearance said it all.

That wild boars and swans are not enemies. Rather, they have a loving relationship.

Watching the wild boars and swans inside the cafe, it felt like watching a documentary film with animals as the main characters.

A special bond between different animals.

It seemed like the scene was even more dramatic because it was happening in the open space of the tiger shelter.

Perhaps it was because this special shelter, immersed in nature, gave them at least some comfort.

“If that were true, the broadcasting stations would rush to report it.”

Well, I don’t think that will happen though.

Anyway, I’ll stop with my random thoughts here…

“That’s fine, but can we keep leaving it like that?”

It was a truly beautiful and special sight to see.

I would have liked to just let them play like that. But people also come here.

I don’t know about swans, but I know wild boars… I have a rough idea of ​​the situation, so it must be hard for me, let alone others.

I don’t know if it was a rabbit that occasionally came down to the garden, but a wild boar as big as that rock… … .

People and wild boars too.

They were dangerous enough to each other.

So I don’t know what to do next.

Aside from that situation, the two of them look so peaceful.

I was lost in thought, holding my phone.

however…….

Did he read my thoughts?

The wild boar, who had been spending a peaceful time with the swan for a while, looked this way.

“huh?”

Then he gradually came closer to me.

also.

That wasn’t easy.

Just by its presence, you can feel the wild and rough energy… … .

It’s not for nothing that wild boars are kings in tiger-less mountains like these days.

Unlike when we first met in the empty lot, I now had plenty of time to myself.

You can report it and lock the door.

But in the end, neither one did it.

Because… … .

Bam!

The wild boar that came up to the door simply nudged the swan’s butt with its nose.

The force made the swan roll over and sit with its hind legs stretched out in front of the door like a doll.

Baekgu and I tilted our heads as if we didn’t know English.

The boar looked back and forth between the swan and me for a moment, then slowly turned around.

“uh?”

An aura swirled around the boar.

When did that dull aura change into such a clear and bright aura?

The auras of the shelter, which had been flying around with their talents of tuning, seemed to be flying around happily with their brightened auras.

The boar can’t talk, but somehow I feel like I can understand what it’s saying. Is that…? Is it saying it wants to go back?

Somehow the gesture seems like it’s time to leave the swan to this side?

“No, it doesn’t matter since the village chief will be raising the swan anyway… … .”

Just as I was saying that!

Sarah~

The boar’s aura and the auras of the surrounding cafes suddenly merged together.

It was a different situation from before when we were playing together.

Is it because the dull aura has cleared up and is seeping into the cafe and shelter? It could be because the boar’s condition has improved.

however……

‘It’s a bit different when the customer’s aura is absorbed.’

What should I say?

Should we say that the boar’s aura is looking for something in the cafe’s aura?

Woohoo!!

The aura of the wild boar, which had been scanning the auras of each cafe, began to resonate as if it had found what it wanted.

The aura found here also resonated and emitted light.

and…….

Pot!!

The boar’s aura began to be absorbed as it emitted an aura that seemed to stop the eyes.

‘Ugh!’

I closed my eyes for a moment without realizing it, then opened them again.

Then the scenery that was visible was different from before the light was emitted.

First of all, the wild boar was nowhere to be seen.

Have they returned to nature in the meantime?

And one more thing.

“That’s.”

Among the remaining auras, one stood out in a particularly striking way.

A brown aura, smaller than a fist.

The black stripes on it resembled a small piglet at first glance.

The moment I came out to check it out in detail.

Awww~!

“Why are you like that again?”

I put off checking the aura for a moment because of the howling sound of a swan that suddenly started crying.

Instead, I looked at the swan.

Are you sad that the boar is leaving?

no.

Unlike the way he sat there, looking like a baby who hadn’t even learned to walk yet, his emotions weren’t that simple.

‘Are you saying hello?’

Yeah, this guy is saying hello right now.

“Did you see me off?”

Hehe!

A guy who smiles innocently as if nothing had happened when I spoke to him.

I patted that guy on the head.

Swish~

Then, the auras that had been flying in the empty lot came flying in.

“you…….”

And then, out of nowhere, an aura in the shape of a baby wild boar flew up to my eyes and stared at me.

He seemed to have something to say, so he reached out and placed his hand on my palm.

Okay then.

Swish!

“… … !”

The aura seeped into me just like that.

>The reverse emission of the nameless boar

And then a new talent emerged, left behind by the boar guest.

It’s true that even wild boars are considered guests.

There was something more surprising. That was… … .

Swish!

The aura of the wild boar’s talent that had seeped in appeared before my eyes again.

“uh?”

It seeped in and out again as if it were a demonstration.

An aura that repeats several times.

I tried using tuning just in case.

Then, as if that was right, this time, instead of the aura, the aura seeped in and out repeatedly according to my will.

“Is it because I’m a somewhat special guest?”

He left behind a very special aura.

It also has the appearance of a very cute baby boar and has special talents… … .

Kyurur~

I’m talking about aura.

Aura, who had the appearance of a wild boar, tilted her head at my blank look and flew back to the swan.

Then he sat on my head.

“Is it comfortable there?”

The guy said as if he was saying that.

It didn’t actually make a sound, but somehow it sounded like it.

Is this because of your talent for tuning?

“This is truly amazing.”

I had a feeling before that the auras were becoming more intense, as if they were finding their own selves.

But I didn’t know it would turn out like this.

Could this really be what a tiger shelter looked like?

So is this gradually becoming its true form?

‘I kept thinking that this wasn’t an ordinary place… … .’

I thought I had gotten a little used to it, but I wasn’t.

It seems that there are still many secrets hidden in this place.

what…….

“Doesn’t matter?”

Hehe!

I sat next to the swan and stroked its head.

And I looked in the direction the guy was looking.

It was the place where the wild boar disappeared.

Did the guy get off okay?

Where did it go?

I didn’t know the answer, but one thing was certain.

That’s where I had a good rest and then left.

The change in aura was telling.

Today, a special guest just came and went.

ah.

Isn’t it a little? He was a very special guest.

I never dreamed that I would be welcoming a wild boar as a guest here… … .

“It’s not just people who need healing, right?”

Hehe!

I don’t know what you know or what you don’t know.

The swan was just so bright and cheerful.

As I looked at that sight, my complicated thoughts were sorted out.

Instead, one question arose.

“But can you find your way home?”

The village chief said he was coming, but is this the first or second time he’s done this?

Unless I’m tied up in the future, I think I’ll be wandering around town like this…

Well, I guess the village chief will take care of that.

It’s a little late, but let’s start with the official opening.

I wonder what kind of new ability I will gain… … .

Jiiing!

As I was about to get up from my seat to find out, I received a call from the village chief.

* * *

But what should I say to the village chief?

Should I say that the wild boar came and went?

First, I received a phone call.

“Oh, village chief.”

─I contacted you first and told you not to worry too much.

“yes?”

─I heard that a report was already received from the city hall staff. They said that a wild boar and a mother dog were wandering around the mountain path. So it looks like they received a report and went looking for it.

Before I could say anything, the village chief spoke first.

“Huh? Oh, I see. Then… … ?”

─So I came in, and as you know, I found the mother dog, but she was already dead, and the wild boar today… … .

“iced coffee.”

─The strange thing is, according to those who witnessed it, the wild boar and the mother dog got along well. They were always seen together? Huh─ It’s strange. Anyway, don’t worry too much. I’ll tell you the details when I get there.

“Yes. Still, thank you for your hard work.”

─Heh heh. What.

As soon as I hung up the phone, my gaze naturally turned to the back of the swan outside the door.

It wasn’t much different from what I expected.

If so, does that mean that the wild boar and the mother dog lived out their lives in nature and that nothing major happened?

The village chief added that the wild boar seemed to have lived a little longer and taken care of the swan.

“That’s why you were so happy.”

I looked at the swan’s back for a moment.

It’s a shame that the wild boar I saw earlier is already dead…

“Huh?!”

for a moment!

He’s dead?

So what did I see just now?!

When I heard it from the village chief, a fact that I had not thought much about suddenly hit me hard.

You said you found a dead boar over there… … .

‘What did I really see?’

Another boar?

No, I don’t understand the relationship with Baekgu.

‘Come to think of it, it was strange from the first time I saw it.’

When it disappeared, it disappeared suddenly.

Facts that I had overlooked because I thought they were special about this place began to fit together one by one like a puzzle.

“I don’t know if this is a dream or reality… … .”

It’s a little confusing now whether the wild boar really existed.

Maybe I was hallucinating.

Am I perhaps extending and modifying the dream I had before, where I was a fairy in an empty lot surrounded by numerous animals?

I had a fleeting thought, but the special aura the wild boar left behind was real.

So then, the wild boar I saw, maybe… … .

“Is it… a ghost… or something?”

Something felt a little creepy and I froze. But I soon felt better.

“Well, it’s not that different.”

It was surprising, but it wasn’t strange that I could see that since I could see the aura anyway.

‘I can see the text window too.’

As the conclusion was reached, my surprised heart was starting to calm down!

Aang ang!

“Huh? Where are you looking and barking? Are you here again?”

The swan suddenly started barking.

Now that my heart has calmed down a bit, I went out to see if the wild boar had come again.

There wasn’t any.

Then what do you see?

Swish.

When I raised my head following the swan’s gaze, I saw a face peeking out from above the roof.

Plump cheeks and flowing hair… … Langi?

“I was wondering why you weren’t there today, but you were there?”

Wow~

Rangi yawned refreshingly.

Maybe he just slept on the roof because I didn’t open the door for him.

Yeah, you had a good rest too.

What does it matter if it’s a soul or something?

It’s okay since you got some good rest.

Why!

But why do you look so disgruntled after sleeping so well?

This time, I followed Rangi’s gaze and saw a swan.

The two of them… … somehow it seems like sparks are flying from their eyes?

It seemed that what the special guest left behind was not only a special aura and talent.
