Episode 79
─Please stop making disgusting pictures.
That guy Soo-ah… …he asked me to take a picture of him.
─Ah, this is a bit.
─I can’t use it.
Han Song-i and Lee Seon-ah’s reactions were no different.
No, they asked me to take a picture of them earlier, but they are people I don’t know.
But the village chief would be different.
─Hmm. It’s a black-backed hornet.
─Isn’t that something like a longicorn hornet?
─The giant hornet is completely different. Its sound doesn’t even sound like a bee’s. If it were a giant hornet, you probably wouldn’t be able to catch it like that.
─Aha. So what should we do now? Oh, and should we take pictures of the bees too?
─Would you like me to take a picture of the bees too? It would be better if you could help me find a hive where I can see the bee population, but first, I’ll ask a beekeeper I know nearby.
As expected, the village chief is different… … .
─Oh, and could you please take that picture down quickly? It’s really embarrassing to look at it like this.
─… … Yes.
I quietly deleted the photo.
It was a little unfair, but what can I do? It was what an adult said.
I took down the photo of the wasp and picked up the fainted wasp and put it away.
I didn’t find this cute either.
Instead, this time I found a bee.
Boom~ Boom~
Compared to wasps, bees, which fly around making a cute noise, are relatively easier to find.
There were also more numbers.
Bees are busy flying between flowers here and there.
The guys were flying around in circles. They seemed busy collecting honey.
Boooow~
Then I found a guy who had his head stuck inside a small flower and was wiggling his butt vigorously.
He seemed so focused that he didn’t even notice me approaching him.
Boom~ Boom~
I don’t know if the honey collection is going well or not… … but anyway, the butt looks exciting.
‘Did bees always look this cute?’
Actually, I have never been very interested in insects, not even when I was young, nor until now.
When I lived in the countryside, I saw it so often that I just thought it was normal, but when I lived in the city, it wasn’t easy to see it.
Even if you look at it, it’s not a cute sight, but rather a slightly creepy sight and an unwelcome encounter with the guys.
But looking at it this way, these guys are pretty cute.
Sealook~ Sealook~
Her pollen-covered butt moved diligently instead of her busy head.
I took pictures and videos of the scene and uploaded them to the group chat.
This one might have a slightly different reaction.
But this time I had to pick up the camera again without seeing any reaction.
I had a feeling something really funny was going to happen now.
Wriggle! Wriggle!
A bee that had entered a flower was wandering around, unable to come out for some reason.
‘It’s on, it’s on.’
Anyone could see that his head was stuck.
The embarrassed butt, wings, and legs were so funny that I couldn’t help but capture them on video.
After taking enough video like that for a while.
Knock, knock.
I finally got out after I slapped the guy’s golden-furred butt.
Boohoo~? Boom?
A guy who was flying around as if he was confused. Then he suddenly found me and flew towards me.
What the heck? I thought you were going to get mad because I touched your butt.
Bam!
He sat on my shoulder and remained still as if catching his breath.
‘Hmm, is it because of the aura?’
When I looked closely, it seemed like that.
Judging from the auras that linger around the area where the bees landed, it seems like they are trying to recover the energy they lost from causing a fuss earlier.
It feels like I’m a battery charger?
“Are you going to rest for a bit and then go?”
It was a question that could not be answered, of course. The bee rested on his shoulder for a moment and then flew away.
Oh no, this is not the time.
‘The village chief said it would be good to take pictures of the beehives too.’
If we follow the bees that are flying by now, won’t we be able to find where the hive is?
After asking Brownie to let me know when guests were coming, I quickly chased away the bees.
It wasn’t easy to follow the buzzing bees, but once I started following them, it wasn’t that difficult.
Because I saw it.
‘I’m glad that a lump of aura stuck to my shoulder while I was sitting on it earlier.’
The bee’s aura was on it, as if it had pollen on its butt.
Thanks to that, it was almost like it had a tag attached to it, so it looked really good.
Of course, I had to use SsukSsuk’s blessing in a hurry.
‘Because the aura of the people I used during the festival recharged me.’
So that wasn’t a problem.
Boohoo~ Boong~
That time, I was following the bees up the mountain!
A bee stopped in front of a tree and circled around it as if dancing.
I was watching to see what was going on… … .
‘You’re letting the other bees know.’
I’ve heard that bees tell other bees where the delicious honey they’ve eaten is.
When I think about it that way, that sight is also funny and cute.
Boom~ Boom~
The guy who had been flying around like he was dancing for a while soon got stuck on a wooden pole.
There’s probably a beehive there.
I didn’t get close, but observed it from a distance.
The number of bees flying around, the number of bees attached to a tree, and even the interior of the tree that can be seen through the gaps in the tree.
Since I don’t know all the details, I just took it all in with my eyes.
But I kept having a strange feeling.
‘This is.’
As soon as I brought my senses to the surface, I could understand why it felt that way.
Among the bees, there were those gloomy, flickering auras from earlier.
Was it the black hornet? The hornets had already found the bees’ nest and were attacking.
Boohoo! Boom!
The bees are fighting against those wasps… … .
‘It’s getting weaker and weaker.’
The intensity of the resistance was gradually decreasing. It seemed that the bees were being pushed back.
The sad thing is that there is nothing I can do here.
I wasn’t wearing any protective gear, and the wasps could have hurt me if I had touched them wrong.
Besides, the bees were so angry right now that they couldn’t tell the difference between the two.
But I still feel a little sorry and can’t move easily…
Jiing!
─I’m not a beekeeper, but there’s a guy who makes alcohol out of wasp nests. I’ve already told him about it, but he’s not in town right now, so it might take some time.
A reply came from the village chief.
But they say that’s not possible now.
‘Then that bee hive… … .’
Should I just leave it like that?
Maybe it was because of that bee earlier, but I felt even more regretful. I also remembered the sight of it briefly resting on my shoulder.
─I just found a bee hive, but it looks like it’s being attacked by wasps.
─How much?
─It seems like the bees are being pushed out.
─Oh, wow. The wasp force is quite large. I think we need to deal with this quickly… … .
─How could I not get a bee hive?
─If you catch the wasp that’s attacking right now, you’ll be able to protect it for now. But the wasp nest is so big that you might not be able to last long anyway.
The answer was negative.
But that doesn’t mean it’s completely impossible.
─Can I just chase away the wasps and get rid of their nests?
─That might work, but… … .
─Is there anything I can do?
─You? If you touch a wasp wrong, you’ll get hurt, you idiot.
The village chief stopped him, saying it was dangerous.
And the same goes for everyone else who was watching the chat. Of course, I didn’t mean to put myself in danger.
─I’m asking just in case. After luring the wasps, wouldn’t it be enough to just clean up the nest?
─That’s easy. But how are you going to lure the wasps?
─If there’s anything that wasps like, let me know.
─Let’s see. If it’s a black hornet… …you need to use a bait. Maybe mixing some sugar water and makgeolli would work… …If you don’t have makgeolli, something like yogurt will work too. Anyway, you can make it and put it in a trap to catch it.
I thought this was it, what the village chief said.
─But it won’t be like that, so it’ll be difficult right away.
That was fine. I guess there was a way to make them just rush in.
After that I also heard about how to get rid of a wasp nest, which was even simpler.
Just wear protective clothing, pick out the wasp nest, and put it in a container.
Of course, this also needs to be done before the wasps attack… … .
‘I think I can do it?’
If I were just naked, I would have safely called someone. But I had Manseonggong.
Of course, there should be at least some safety measures. I returned to the cafe and opened the storage room.
“As expected, there it is.”
There was a protective suit there that was probably worn by my grandfather.
It was a garment made of a fine mesh mesh.
Safety device secured. Then next is… …the lure.
I mixed some fermented yogurt into the sugar water and left it in Tori’s oyster for a while.
beep!
“Sorry. Just a moment.”
Tori doesn’t like it, but he can’t help it.
After stirring it well with a few Shine Muscat grapes, I took out the fermented extract.
It smelled sour and sweet.
But of course, this alone was not enough. Now, we need to add some real effects here.
‘It would be nice if several effects could overlap… … but would it work?’
I thought about the effects that would attract wasps.
First, the talents of this life, such as charm, immersion, coordination, etc., and the talents of the wood life, such as dexterity, came to mind.
This is what came to mind when I heard the village chief’s words.
I thought I could just throw them all in. Of course, I never tried it.
‘Why not do it now?’
Even now, the bees were fighting fiercely with the wasps.
The same goes for that cute guy from before.
Rather than hesitate, I guess I should at least try it.
He immediately showed his talent.
Woohoo!!
Then, a resonance occurred in the surrounding aura. And the aura on my hand also sympathized with it.
‘There must be a reason why they are tied together as Moksaeng and Geumsaeng.’
I tried to believe it once and moved my hand slowly.
Sararak~
Auras began to mix, along with a strange sensation.
Charm with dexterity, harmony with painting.
Talents and auras blended together to create perfect harmony.
‘ah!’
Only then did I realize.
How to use Manseonggong correctly.
The talents of Mok-saeng were individual talents, but they were also one. The talents of Geum-saeng are the same.
And the talents of such a past life and the talents of this life can create synergy with each other… … .
Fluttering, fluttering, the talents of Mok-saeng and Geum-saeng unfolded according to the movements of the hands that were like the gestures of a god.
Pot!!
in result.
[Wasp attractant]
*effect
─Strongly attracts wasps.
─The lured wasp becomes rigid.
“… … Okay.”
I had a feeling it would work out, but now that it actually does, I’m a bit taken aback.
But didn’t we see earlier that Manseonggong’s power isn’t only used for drinks and desserts?
On SuA’s stage, and also while creating shelters.
Of course, I didn’t know that the talents would be tied together as Mok-saeng and Geum-saeng and act as one and create synergy.
Anyway, I focused my mind, thinking about what was important now.
Don’t you have something to do now?
The effective attractant was placed in a container large enough to fit a wasp nest.
And then I use the tuning and wait for a while… … .
Boohoo!
A wasp that was loitering around in the garden flew in and got sucked in.
And then he just passed out.
Since I had clearly seen the effects, I closed the lid of the can without delay and climbed the mountain again.
“this.”
Meanwhile, dead bees were piled up around the hive.
Some were huddled together, surrounding the wasp, while others were lying around with wounds.
A few wasps could still be seen flying around, waiting for their chance.
Swish!
I opened the lid.
Then, the wasp that was fighting with the bees suddenly turned towards me.
And then.
Boooow!!
The noise was no joke, with dozens of them flying in from all directions, not just one or two. But… … .
Swish!
The wasps went straight into the hive without even looking at me.
The bait I made worked well.
widely!
After seeing that the wasps had passed out, I closed the lid. Now, all that was left was the main camp.
Oops! But I haven’t found the main base… … .
Huh?
“Huh? You.”
Just then, a bee flew in.
And then it danced here and there before my eyes.
This is like the dance I did for my fellow bees after eating a lot of honey… … .
‘ah!’
I developed my communication skills and was able to understand what the bees were saying.
The guy was now telling me where the wasp’s base was.
