Episode 50

The village chief unexpectedly gave me talent. And it was exactly the talent I needed right now.

‘Farming… … .’

The more I did it, the more difficult it became.

Especially, doesn’t that great village chief have a hard time raising children?

That’s what it means to nurture something with care.

Nothing could be judged hastily until it was fully grown and bearing fruit.

From external factors such as weather, soil, wild animals, natural disasters, land development, etc., to internal factors such as the condition of the seed itself.

There were too many variables.

You may wonder what this has to do with raising children, but it’s not that different. It’s similar, but also more difficult.

Because children have ‘selves’.

“Well, I don’t have any plans to have children anytime soon, so it doesn’t matter.”

The farming I want to do is just real farming. The current village chief’s talent is enough.

Rather, it may be an overflowing talent.

Well, just like the village chief’s field, our garden is also on a large scale… … .

‘That’s a bit.’

It’s already hard, so I didn’t want it to get that big.

Let’s raise them appropriately.

It was enough for the tiger shelter.

In that sense, it was good timing to acquire the village head’s talent, because the crops in the garden are growing at an extraordinary rate these days.

Even though I organized it once, I still have regrets… … Wouldn’t this be of some help?

You can just check it out.

“hmm.”

You’ve grown a lot in the meantime.

The place where Hajun and I planted seeds has now become filled with greenery. Weeds have grown.

Even though I cleaned it up once, it’s still like this…

Kuru~

Besides, it seemed like that was happening more these days because Brownie and Aura were mostly playing in the garden.

Anyway, if you keep running around like that, you will grow quickly.

I can’t tell you not to do something good, really…

‘I wish I could solve this with my farming talent.’

With such expectations, I thought carefully about the plan.

How to use talent has so far ultimately come down to one thing.

I hope so.

Whether you look at it or use your hands.

Anything can be done. If so, it will be the same this time.

‘How can I organize my garden?’

I looked down at the garden, thinking about what I wanted.

Okay then.

Sarah~

The scattered auras gathered together to create another mysterious landscape.

That was the current state of the garden.

As the aura was overlaid on the garden, a new text window appeared.

‘oh!’

I was only able to admire the sight for a moment.

[Garden]

*situation

─Overload

“Umm… … .”

I knew it, but seeing it like this makes me realize that there is definitely a problem.

If this continues, perhaps… … .

Swish!

Surprisingly, Aura even told us what would happen if the garden was left as it was.

The images appeared to overlap slightly, and the crops were tangled together, making it look like a mess at first glance.

There were even some species that died because of crops growing next to them.

I expected it, but seeing it like this shows that the situation is more serious than I thought.

So what should I do? As soon as I finished thinking about that, another picture appeared in the window.

Sarah~

The auras danced and created a new look for the garden.

[Garden (Expanded)]

*situation

─Optimization

“uh?”

And the revealed garden looked a little different from what I knew.

Should I say it looks neat?

It wasn’t planted in a jumbled manner, but some parts that were awkward due to lack of professional care were fixed.

The location of herbs, including mint.

Such as the arrangement of seedlings planted with fruit.

Of course, it may be because it has expanded, but should we say that it is a field touched by the hands of experts?

It was clearly more dense than the field was now, but it was well organized, giving a very systematic feel.

As expected, experts are experts.

‘It’s a greater talent than I thought.’

A belated admiration came.

What a talent to show something like this!

The auras returned to their original state, but I recalled the image I had drawn earlier.

A picture of an aura like a scene from a movie.

I was so focused on other aspects of the garden that I actually missed that.

“Did you know how to do that too?”

Kuru~

Brownie spun around as if answering on behalf of the Auras.

It seems like these kids are gradually developing a sense of self.

‘Okay. Thank you.’

I came out of my admiration, grateful to the guys who followed my lead.

Now back to reality.

In return for listening to my story and giving me something to eat, I received something very large.

With this kind of talent, expanding the garden seemed like it would be no problem.

‘I thought about that originally.’

Expansion was an idea that had been on my mind for a while.

I’ve grown a lot while I’ve been here. Working with the crops in the garden is one of them.

That’s why I’ve been thinking about working with more materials lately.

If that were the material for the garden here, it would be perfect, but for now, it was a small and precious garden.

But now it is possible.

Because the talent I got from the village chief was demonstrated.

‘The reason I couldn’t make this happen until now was because I wasn’t sure… ‘

I’m worried that if I get greedy and try to make the garden bigger, even this special garden will disappear.

But when it expanded, those worries were insignificant and it was more organized than ever. It was a good environment for crops too.

“What else should I have given you instead of just listening to your story?”

But all I can give you right now is a canned peach, and that’s it… … Well, since the village chief is in town, I can give you something else.

To do that, let’s first expand the garden.

I unfolded what I had seen earlier again and checked exactly where and how far I could expand it.

“Let’s try increasing it like this for now.”

I took out the plowing tools from the storage room.

One thing that’s a shame is that this talent is only shown and you have to make it yourself?

still…….

‘It’s just a little bit of an expansion.’

I decided to give it a try.

* * *

A few hours later.

Bam! Swish!

Bam!

“Hoooo─.”

Expanding the garden, which seemed easy, was not as easy as expected.

To be exact, the backyard wasn’t that big, so expanding it wasn’t that difficult.

The problem was the rearrangement of crops.

Since we were moving crops that had already been established, it was harder than starting a new garden. There were also many things to be careful of.

“Ah, I feel like having some sugar.”

Sweat is pouring down.

I thought my physical strength had improved, but it was of no use in front of this small field.

still…….

‘I did it all.’

I finally finished it today.

I looked around the garden that had been expanded satisfactorily.

This is enough.

I put down my tools to catch my breath and sat down under the shade that Sooksook had made for me. Then I opened a can of chilled peach preserves from the refrigerator.

I took a bite of a peach… … .

“hmm.”

It was sweet and refreshing, and it seemed to relieve some of my fatigue.

‘Maybe I can grow peaches like these in this garden later?’

Hururup!

Let’s eat first.

I also drank water that was infused with peach flavor and sweetness. This definitely tastes better when served cold.

“One bottle goes by in an instant.”

I put the empty glass bottle aside and leaned against the pillar of the ssuksuk tree for a moment.

The cool breeze blowing from the mountain cooled the sweat on my back and took my fever away.

I don’t want to do anything like this.

I don’t want to do anything, but I want to do nothing even more intensely… … .

‘That can’t be.’

There was one last thing to do.

Just checking to see if it’s expanded properly. Luckily, I didn’t have to move my body for this.

“Please do it again this time.”

Kuru~

Let’s ask Brownie and Aura to show us the state of the expanded garden… … .

Shararang~

The auras drew pictures again over the garden.

however.

“uh?”

Why is it still the same?

To be exact, crops did not grow only in the expanded area. They just grew as they were planted.

[Garden]

*situation

─Standard

Even the text window wasn’t marked as expanded.

You’ve definitely expanded it, right?

Surely it wasn’t enough to just plow the land into a field?

But why did you show me that just now?

There was definitely something I was missing.

What is that?

‘The land has been expanded as shown. The crops that were originally placed in the garden have grown well, so it seems there will be no problem with the rearrangement.’

So what could it be? Why don’t the crops in the expanded area grow?

beep?

“huh?”

While I was worrying, a pure white rabbit appeared in the garden.

He was a guy who often played with Rangi.

The boy was a little wary of the new garden, as if it was unfamiliar to him.

I wandered around like that for a while, sniffing around.

I could see him flinch as he set foot on the expanded garden.

Is there something different that a rabbit can sense?

The rabbit kept taking his feet off and putting them back on, and eventually he entered the expanded garden.

‘I’m a little excited about this.’

I was hoping that some other miracle might happen…

beep!

The rabbit bit into one of the crops in the extended garden and then spat it out.

No, no matter what, it’s like that. To spit it out like that… … .

Yeah.

My heart is broken, but I definitely gained one thing.

The expanded garden confirmed that it was not the garden I had expected… … .

I was starting to feel a little empty, even though I worked pretty hard.

But I couldn’t just stay disappointed.

“What is missing?”

Clearly the auras were shown.

That you can expand your garden.

If that’s the case, then the process was wrong.

I reviewed the process of cultivating the field once again. There didn’t seem to be any major problems in the process of expanding the field.

then…….

‘Is it a problem with the land itself that you were worried about?’

I thought that was resolved, but it seems not.

So has my effort been in vain?

Sarah~

As if that wasn’t the case, the auras gathered in the expanded area.

And then… … .

“huh?”

I felt like there was a gaze looking towards me, as if asking for something.

It’s impossible for Auras to have eyes, but it definitely felt that way.

But I don’t know what you want…

‘wait for a sec.’

As I was expanding my field, I remembered something I had missed.

That was the aura.

The reason the crops in the Tiger Shelter garden were able to grow so specially was because of the nutrient, aura.

But why would I have thought that it would naturally follow if expanded?

“Nutrients, nutrients, that’s what I mean.”

I remembered the occasional rabbit that came down and made the crops in the garden grow.

Come to think of it, that was also using aura.

Because the aura was transmitted to the crops through the rabbit, they grew.

Well then, I think I found the cause.

But how do you make the aura permeate the expanded field?

Until now, the aura has been seeping in on its own?

Judging from the reaction earlier, it seemed that even rabbits couldn’t infiltrate the field with their own aura.

“What should I do? Is there anything I can do for you?”

I asked Brownie.

Kuru~

“huh?”

Then the brownie spun around as if he could do it.

My head spun around at the sight.

It was a good thing I recharged the battery earlier.

‘It can’t just happen. It seems like it could be done with talent… … but it’s not farming. Then.’

There was only one talent left.

sacrifice.

I didn’t know where to use the talent that Hajun’s family gave me.

Because it was the only talent that I could think about and try to use in some way, but nothing happened.

But I put it away thinking I might use it later… … .

‘Let’s try again.’

If what I’ve shown as a talent for farming is what I can do, then this is right.

I remembered.

The feelings of mother and father Oh Hye-ryeong and Song Jun-hyeok towards Ha-jun.

And Hajun’s feelings towards his mom and dad.

I moved that feeling of warmth to the garden.

‘If farming is also about raising children.’

The garden was the same.

It’s hard to be so happy when you sprout a seed while feeling anxious due to external circumstances and internal circumstances that don’t go your way.

I put my heart into it.

Then… … !

Sarah~

Some of the auras playing in the garden began to dance.

And after a while, the dancing auras permeated the expanded garden.

A brilliant light emerged from the aura-infused garden, covering the surrounding area… … .

Pot!

It soon filled my eyes.
