I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 44
Only Krnovel
Episode 44
The blessing effect was similar to drinking a beverage made with special ingredients.
>Blessing (24)
Maintained for 24 hours with a time limit.
And the effect was that I could use my talents, including my eyes, just like in a cafe.
I found out that the effects of the drink continued even after I left the original cafe.
But it wasn’t talent.
The effects could not be seen once you left the tiger shelter.
If you grow like Gaean, you can see some limited effects, but it’s not that much.
In that sense, it was great.
“You mean I can use it while the blessing lasts?”
To this extent, the effect was worthy of being called a blessing.
As I looked around, I finally noticed the auras.
I guess I didn’t see it because I was thinking about something else on the way here.
“That’s amazing.”
I tapped on one of the auras wandering around the yard.
Same reaction as at the tiger shelter.
Kuru~
“Oh. You were there too.”
Brownie circled around in front of me and said hello.
It feels more novel to see it at home rather than in a cafe.
As the Auras, including Brownie, walked around the darkened yard, it felt like they were seeing fireflies.
A look that finally matches the Hanok style of house.
“Is that why you felt comfortable when you came home?”
It could be my imagination, but I think it was because those auras really kept following me around.
anyway.
‘Has the scope of use really expanded?’
Even if you only open one eye, it will be very useful when looking for seeds like Ssuksuk.
I don’t really have any reason to make drinks outside of a cafe, but you never know.
The same goes for the rest of the talents.
After all, aren’t these abilities something that can be used somewhere?
I could use my carpentry talents to renovate this old Hanok house right now.
“Anyway, it’s good.”
Aang ang!
“Okay. Let’s eat first.”
If someone saw me, they would think I was the owner of this house?
I stopped admiring the sight of a swan barking while standing on the veranda and went inside.
Today was another very special day.
* * *
The next day.
I decided to visit the temple while the talent of blessing was still taking effect.
I didn’t ride the bike.
“Let’s go carefully and quietly.”
Aang ang!
I decided to walk while also taking a walk with the swans.
Of course, I had a harness and leash on. It might be fine if I was just walking around the village or nearby, but it was different in the town.
It could have been dangerous, with cars driving around and lots of people.
The swan is dangerous, but the opponent is also dangerous, so it can’t be helped that it’s uncomfortable in the sense that we have to be careful of each other.
‘It’s a bit tight because it’s originally a long one.’
Harness borrowed it from Sua who was about to go to school.
Did you buy it when you didn’t know anything about cats?
But since I bought it when it was a kitten, it was still a little small for a swan even though I stretched it as much as I could.
While I’m out in town, I should buy something for Baekgu.
I don’t know about Langi, but I think I’ll have to do it often because Baekgu is wandering around here and there.
The swan, who had been reluctant to wear a harness, soon began wagging its tail in excitement as soon as we started walking.
It’s probably his first time going there, so everything will be new to him.
Sniff sniff!
“What? Does it smell?”
Even though no one taught me how, I naturally smelled the grass on the roadside.
Take a break and mark your territory!
Hehe!
“You like it that much?”
Aang ang!
Good.
The guy excitedly kicks the marked area with his hind legs and then suddenly… … .
Wow!
Unable to control his excitement, he ran forward.
I wasn’t strong enough to pull the rope I was holding onto, but I just ran along with it.
Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve run like this.
I thought something like this wouldn’t be a bad idea, like a walk in the morning and some exercise.
A quiet, nature-friendly walking path with lush greenery in the morning sunlight.
Of course, it was something that could be done in the city as well. These days, there are many walking paths built near apartments and residential areas.
But it felt different from a real country road like this. The air here was so fresh.
When I breathe this air, I can’t help but feel like my lungs are getting healthier.
‘Now that I think about it, it wasn’t as hard as I thought.’
If you breathe this good air, how can your health improve?
Well, my physical strength has definitely improved over the past few months.
Is it because I walk back and forth on the trail every day along with the energy boost I get from eating carrots?
These days, I tend to my garden and do a lot of physical work, so I think my stamina has naturally increased.
“Okay. Let’s walk now.”
But I couldn’t keep running for tens of minutes, so I ran and walked for an appropriate amount of time.
The swan’s physical strength also had to be considered.
“If you go into town and lie down, I’ll have to carry you.”
Hehe!
What does that have to do with you?
The swan was appealing that he wanted to run now, but I lightly ignored him.
I couldn’t just let him do whatever he wanted.
The guy was also perceptive, so he hesitated for a moment before walking calmly again.
The leisurely walk that continued into town was… … .
“Oh my, so cute.”
“It’s a woof!”
“The dog and its owner look alike~”
It ended as we entered the town.
For some reason, today a lot of people said something to Baekgu and me.
It wasn’t like this when I usually rode my bike alone…
Children in particular were more active.
“Can I touch it once?”
“Huh? Huh… … .”
There was even a child who came up to me and spoke to me.
She seems to be around Soo-ah’s age or maybe a little younger.
As it was the first time, Baekgu approached the child and started to act cute while he was at a loss for an answer.
“Thank you!”
“I want to touch it too!”
Most of them were children.
I think I was on my way to school.
‘It was a good thing I washed it before bringing it home yesterday.’
Otherwise, the hands of the children who were touching it right now would have gotten dirty because they were so fussy.
Of course, I rolled over a few times on the way here… … but that’s nothing, compared to yesterday it’s a relief.
“What is your name?”
“Swan.”
“It’s yellow?”
“… … Big. Anyway, it’s Baekgu.”
But it still looked yellow to the children’s eyes.
“Don’t you guys have to go to school?”
“oh!”
I told them the reality because I thought they were delaying too much, and the kids ran over.
The swan seemed to be disappointed at the sight, but we also had work to do.
“Let’s go, let’s go. We should buy some snacks too.”
Hehe!
The first place we went to with the cool Baekgu, who immediately gave up on snacks, was Jongmyo Temple.
“hello.”
“Huh? You’re here again?”
“Huh? You remember?”
“Who do you think is the old man with dementia? Where else in this neighborhood can you find a person as languid as you and not remember that? Your face has become even more pale. You must be Mr. Cheon’s grandson. Yes.”
“Haha… … .”
Is that a compliment?
He scratched the back of his head with an awkward smile.
Regardless, the grandmother who owned the seed shop turned her gaze to the swan.
“What is Ja?”
“Oh, this is our village chief’s dog, and I’ll take care of it for today only.”
“Lee Cheon-yong is a puppy?”
“Huh? Do you know the village chief?”
“Then I know.”
There really isn’t anyone who doesn’t know.
“But what does the owner do and what are you in charge of?”
“He left home for a while because of a health checkup.”
“Health check-up? Oh my, you’ve grown your body to be like a gorilla, but you still go for that kind of thing regularly.”
“haha…….”
The grandmother who owned the seed shop only spoke facts, so I had nothing to say.
If it were Su-ah, she would have said, ‘Are you T?’
“Yeah, what are you going to buy? What did you buy last time?”
“It’s growing well. I guess the seeds here are good.”
“What’s good about it? They’re all the same. But they’re better than Grandpa. He didn’t kill them all.”
Although she seemed blunt, the landlady’s true intentions were not bad.
From the beginning, it was like that to remember all kinds of people.
Even though he said that, he took good care of me.
“But why did you come?”
“yes?”
“Why did you come here when I didn’t even kill them all?”
“Oh, I’m going to try planting something new.”
“In a tiny garden the size of a mouse’s droppings?”
The landlady looks at me with a suspicious look.
I knew this would happen… … .
“Oh, right! This is juice made from tomatoes grown in our garden. Try it.”
“Why did you bring something like this?”
“You gave me a lot of service last time.”
“Tsk. I’ll eat well.”
His gaze softened when I told him that I had grown the tomatoes myself.
Okay, so now we’ve said our goodbyes…
I took a quick look around the inside of the temple.
I’m looking for a special seed like Ssuk-suk-i.
Thanks to the blessing, now was the opportunity to write a complete book… … .
‘I can’t see anything in particular.’
All I could see were ordinary seeds.
I expected it. I don’t think something like Ssuk-ssuk-i would be common.
I wasn’t disappointed since it was just a possibility anyway.
“Could you recommend something good to plant now?”
“What about recommendations? Just take what that guy is eating!”
“Huh? … … Huh!?”
When I turned around at my grandmother’s urgent words, I saw a swan eating the seedlings placed in front of the seedling center.
No, why that?
“Hey, hey. Why are you eating that, man?”
Hehe!
“Okay.”
I couldn’t say anything to that bright-eyed person, not even knowing what I did wrong…
In the end, I hurriedly packed up the seedlings that the swans had eaten.
And then I check what it is.
‘huh?’
what.
An unexpected text window appeared.
[Shine Muscat seedlings]
*situation
─Top-quality seedlings
I don’t know the effect, but the condition was not good.
I looked at other things just in case, but I didn’t find anything like this.
That means he’s special… … .
“I’ll buy that and whatever else you recommend.”
I decided to buy it right away.
It wasn’t quite like Ssuk-ssuk, but to this extent… … it was worth taking the swan for a walk.
“Oh, that’s fine. You can’t sell that anyway, so take it. Now, here are some good ones to plant… … Try planting these.”
“No, it’s fine. What is this?”
“Corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, things like that.”
“aha.”
They were all good to plant in the garden.
Since I don’t have much space left in my garden, I bought just the right amount.
“Then I’ll come again.”
“Or so.”
Although he was rude in his greetings, he gave us so much that our hands felt heavy.
So, I had a successful shopping day today… … .
“Let’s go buy some snacks.”
Aang ang!
Now, Baekgu went to a nearby supermarket to buy the snack he wanted.
It would be nice to have a pet-only mart, but there isn’t one in this town.
Fortunately, the largest mart in town had a separate corner.
But then a problem arose.
“Huh? You can’t bring a dog in~”
“Ah. Yes. Sorry.”
The problem was that you couldn’t go inside with a swan.
But I can’t just leave him alone and go in.
At a difficult moment.
“Over there─.”
“yes?”
“If it doesn’t take too long, can I watch the puppy?”
A woman came and spoke to me.
Are you in your 30s?
I think it’s similar to me or a little more… … .
Either because he heard what the mart employee said to me earlier or because he roughly saw the situation, he said he would take care of Baekgu.
“Ah, that’s… … .”
But I’m still a bit tainted by the city’s grime, so I’m going to refuse for now.
“lol.”
Suddenly, a small child approached and tried to reach out to the swan.
“Hajun, you can’t do that.”
Luckily, the woman who had spoken to me first stopped the child before I could stop her.
It seems she was the child’s mother.
“I’m sorry. My child really likes puppies.”
“No, nothing much happened.”
It was okay because I stopped it before it happened. I even apologized first, just in case.
“Hajun-ah.”
Swish.
at that time!
The child’s mother, who heard what I said, sighed in relief and took a deep breath as she lowered herself to the child’s eye level.
And then he waved his hands in the air in front of the child’s eyes.
what?
‘……hmm?’
While observing its unique appearance, I discovered something unexpected.
That was the first time I saw it appear in the child’s text window.
