I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 51



Only Krnovel

Episode 51

The brilliant light that filled the garden has disappeared.

Now, a pure white rabbit was running around the seemingly ordinary-looking garden.

Rangi also ran after him, suddenly appearing from somewhere while he was sleeping.

Sarah~

The auras also seemed to get excited by the sight of the two and flew over the garden.

The ordinary scenery of the garden gradually became mysterious.

When Rabbit, Rangi, and Aura ran around, the crops in the garden grew.

As if welcoming the new environment.

For a moment, as if performing a ritual.

“ah.”

The changing scenery of the garden with sighs has stopped.

The extended garden looked as if it had once been one.

[Garden (Expanded)]

*situation

─Optimization

*effect

─Circulation

─Promotion

The condition of the garden was similar to that of the one shown by the farmer, but different.

‘It worked.’

The cycle is what it was originally.

Should we consider the new thing as a catalyst?

Well, it’s ambiguous?

This is actually no different from what was there originally.

Sharang~

As if it knew these thoughts, an aura that had been lingering in the garden flew towards me.

And it seeped in naturally.

Ding~!

*Additional effects

─Protection of the Earth (2)

And there was one more effect.

It was the growth of ‘Protection of the Earth’, one of the abilities I received when I first came to this cafe.

I thought that this was probably the biggest effect of me developing this ability, but it has grown so much.

‘Because the garden land is bigger? Or by using the remaining land?’

The only thing that is certain is that this is an effect that came from expanding the garden.

It seems like we haven’t quite reached the secrets of this place yet… … .

Still, I felt proud because I seemed to be gradually learning.

“Please take care of me in the future as well.”

Towards the garden.

And he spoke to the Auras, the rabbits, and Rangi.

I don’t know if you all heard, but anyway.

I’m excited to see what I can harvest from the newly renovated garden… … but there’s one more thing to look forward to.

The growth of ‘Tur’s Protection’.

What kind of miracle will this one show us?

I was also looking forward to this as I was trying to finish expanding my garden.

however.

“Huh?”

On one side of the rearranged vegetable garden, a cluster of deliciously colored berries appeared.

I definitely planted it there… … .

[Shine Muscat (Kuku)]

*effect

─Blood sugar control

─Diet

“It was just yesterday that I planted it with Hajun, and it’s already grown so much?”

And it’s not just big, it even bears fruit?

My expectations that it would take quite some time to harvest Shine Muscat were completely off the mark.

Could this be a miracle that has already occurred as the guardian angel of the earth has grown?

Or maybe the garden has expanded?

It could be both.

‘Trees can grow overnight, and it is possible to produce fruit from a dry seedling.’

Even Gaho had grown, so it went without saying.

So that wasn’t what mattered now.

Of course, if Su-ah had heard this thought, she would have said, ‘T-please’… … .

Anyway, the important thing was the fruit itself, which was so delicious that I could eat it right away.

The mushrooms were well-filled with no empty spaces, and each egg was large.

‘It seems big, just like the village chief said?’

The mushrooms haven’t come out yet, so I haven’t done anything yet… … Maybe it’s because my heart has connected with them. Or maybe it’s thanks to the farming talent the village chief gave me.

Anyway, it was good.

The effect looks good and I haven’t tried the taste yet, but it will probably be delicious.

How else can I use that?

A happy dilemma arose.

And the first thing that comes to mind is… … .

“I really have to show this to Hajun.”

It was Hajun who planted it together.

I think you’ll really like it.

hmm…….

Thinking about Hajun, it could be thanks to his ‘sacrifice’ talent.

Because I was able to expand my garden with the talent I got from those families.

Besides, I planted the Kuku (Shine Muscat) tree with Hajun and even named it.

Well then, instead of doing this now, let’s buy a bunch of Shine Muscat grapes right now… … .

“ah!”

You don’t know the address.

But I heard that Mr. Song Jun-hyeok works at a public health center?

I heard it when Oh Hye-ryeong and I were talking.

Well, there aren’t many health centers in town, so it’s probably there.

If you ever need to go to the health center later, just pick one and give it to me. You can also make something with it and give it to me.

No? I guess both would be better.

I should also think about what I should make and give as a gift.

This wasn’t difficult because it overlapped with the question of what kind of menu to make.

“It feels good as soon as it expands.”

As the village chief said, the energy of the land here seems to be good.

My grandfather was good at finding the place.

That time, as I was looking back and forth between the garden and the cafe, I thought about it!

“Sir! I’m here!”

I sat up in my seat at the sound of a voice that instantly snapped me out of my thoughts. It was Su-ah’s voice.

“Shouldn’t he be doing rock instead of being an idol?”

It clearly seemed like the call was coming from the vacant lot, but it could be heard all the way to the backyard garden.

He was born with a powerful vocal cord, but it’s a talent that he regrets wasting.

By the way, you said you were practicing and didn’t even show your nose. It’s been a while since you came?

“What’s going on… … Huh?”

When I went inside, Suah greeted me first.

But you weren’t alone?

* * *

“hello.”

“Oh, yeah. Are you by any chance a friend of Su-ah?”

“Yes. My name is Sia. I enjoyed the carrot apple juice last time.”

“Ah! You’re Sia. I’ve heard a lot about it from Suah. I’m glad you enjoyed it.”

A girl who looked to be about Soo-ah’s age greeted me politely.

He was a friend who stood out with his big eyes and white skin.

This is also a type that is not often seen in the countryside, but I guess that’s why we are friends.

However, unlike Su-ah, Sia, who had long hair, looked more calm and collected than I had heard.

“What is it? I called you, but why are you greeting Sia first?”

“I was going to. It’s been a while since you came? Didn’t you practice today?”

“Chee. Did you do it?”

I snickered at the sight of Su-ah playfully grumbling.

But what happened with your friend?

And at this hour, the buses will soon stop running, so my friend won’t be able to go back, right?

“Sia decided to stay at my house today! She’s practicing and researching stage materials.”

“Huh? Really?”

So that’s why you came without practicing.

But why are you telling me that?

And why do you have that look on your face?

“Yes! So sir~”

“What? Why are you calling me that?”

Su-ah’s suspicious expression as she called out as if she wanted something aroused my wariness.

What’s this guy? He brought his friends too.

“Can I eat this here and then leave?”

“huh?”

Suah took out a black plastic bag.

What is that? Are you saying you can eat it here?

“What is that?”

“It’s Tteoktuisuni!”

“Tteok… … ah, snack?”

“Oh. You know?”

Who do you think is a real uncle?

The words that I shouldn’t eat here almost came out of my mouth at Soo-ah’s teasing expression.

Since business was over for the day anyway, it didn’t matter what I ate.

“Instead, I bought you some too!”

“… … Mine too?”

“Yes! You always eat alone, so you get lonely.”

“Not to that extent.”

Even though I said no, Su-ah didn’t care and took out another bag.

To be honest, I was a bit hungry.

Because I used up a lot of energy expanding my garden a little while ago.

Although I did recharge with some peach preserves in between, it didn’t really satisfy my hunger.

“Why are you eating here when you can just go home and eat?”

“Sir, I’ll have it with a drink.”

“Oh, drinks. Can I take them out?”

“The taste is different between what I eat here and what I eat at home… … .”

Well, that’s true.

A cafe has a different atmosphere from a home.

And the glasses that held the drinks were different, and the scenery was different too.

Above all, isn’t the tiger shelter special?

Even if the taste isn’t different, it’s still different somehow.

I also sometimes make a drink on my way home from work and drink it at home, and I get the feeling that it tastes the same, but it doesn’t taste the same.

That’s why, strangely enough, I could understand what Su-ah said.

But first of all, in principle… … .

“But you can’t bring outside food into the cafe… … And what about Suho? Shouldn’t we eat dinner together?”

“My brother isn’t coming today.”

“why?”

“We have an away game tomorrow, and we have to play in consecutive games, so we have to play in the morning too. That’s why I’m going to go there and sleep.”

“ah.”

Like other sports, baseball is a game that involves going back and forth to the stadium.

Especially if it’s a national competition, you inevitably have to go to another region.

I think this might be the case.

But you went a little far and stayed overnight… … .

Zing! Zing!

“They say even a tiger will come if you call it. I got a call from your brother.”

I showed Sua the caller ID on my phone screen and answered the phone.

As expected, he asked Su-ah to stay until dinner.

─I’m sorry. I should have told you in advance. This wasn’t the original schedule, but it suddenly changed to an away trip due to the competition schedule.

“Really? I guess there’s nothing I can do. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it just in case. Have a good game.”

─Yes, thank you. If there’s anything you need, please let me know. I’ll buy it when I go. And if Su-ah orders something to eat, I’ll pay for it, so could you please make it for her?

“Okay, Inma. It’s regular service.”

The call with Suho ended like this.

It seems that Suho is also quite worried because the schedule was hastily arranged.

So, I guess he readily agreed when Su-ah said she would bring her friend.

Well, for something like that, Su-ah… … .

“Why do you look so good?”

“No way. I’m already worried about how I’ll be able to sleep a day without you.”

“A guy like that invites his friends over as soon as he gets some time off? He even plans on eating snacks here?”

“Heh.”

Anyway, I told you he’s a funny guy.

“Okay. Let’s eat here today.”

Eventually, permission was granted.

The deciding factor, though, was that the cafe’s closing time had already passed.

Anyway, Su-ah packed it with me in mind. I took that into consideration too.

“What do you want to drink? Since you bought the snacks, I’ll pay for this.”

“Oh! Then Mintchoff!”

“… … Okay. Suah, you’re fine. Did you say Sia? Sia, does she want to drink something?”

I decided to make some simple snacks and drinks.

Well, I guessed what Su-ah would ask for.

“Can I just have one?”

“Huh? Oh, not necessarily.”

“Then, this and this. That one too?”

“… … Can you drink it all? There’s quite a lot of snacks.”

Sia chose not just one drink, but several.

It’s not hard to make, but you shouldn’t be greedy about something you can’t drink all of. That’s why I said…

“Shia, are you going to drink it all?”

“It’s okay. You can drink it all.”

Sua and Sia themselves can drink it.

what?

“Sia eats like a total mukbang YouTuber. That’s just a piece of cake!”

“okay?”

I glanced at Sia’s condition at Suah’s words.

[Jeong Sia]

*situation

─Hungry

─Worries

Hmm. You must be really hungry.

Yeah. That’s understandable, since you’re at an age where you’re very hungry.

There was one concern about the condition, but looking at the aura, it didn’t seem like there was anything to worry about.

Because it’s clear, just like Suah.

I guess everyone has at least one worry.

Let’s skip this… … .

“Then I’ll give you two drinks.”

“Hmm.”

Sia looks very disappointed that there are only two.

then.

“Instead, I’ll make you something other than drinks. How about dessert? Something to eat after the snacks.”

“Dessert?”

Sia’s eyes widened slightly.

This seems a bit harsh.

He looks thoughtful as he looks at the menu.

at that time!

“Oh! Sir!”

“Huh? Why? Is there any dessert you want to eat?”

“I was thinking of dessert. Do you know how to make it?”

“What is that?”

“Tanghulu!”

“Tanghulu?”

“Pow!” Soo-ah popped out and asked.

I know what it is. It’s a snack made by coating fruit in sugar water and hardening it.

I heard that it’s popular among kids these days.

Because it was on the news.

‘There’s nothing that can’t be made.’

I wouldn’t recommend it because it’s not good for your health.

But then I remembered the effects of the Shine Muscat I had seen earlier.

[Shine Muscat (Kuku)]

*effect

─Blood sugar control

─Diet

Wouldn’t this be okay?

If you look up how to make it, you’ll find it.

“Hmm. Let’s try something. Is Sia okay?”

“Yes, I like it.”

Well, I also chose the dessert menu.

“I’m setting this up. I’m going to make drinks and tteokbokki.”

“yes!”

I was about to turn around and laugh at the sight of the two of them answering at the same time like baby birds… … .

Ding, ding, ding

Late at night, the door opened and a guest came in.

“uh?”

When he opened the door and came in, he looked flustered, as if it wasn’t what he had expected.

I too was troubled for a moment by that sight.

“Welcome.”

For now, we decided to accept guests.
