Episode 82

It didn’t seem like I could tell right away what this was.

Because there was no other explanation.

When I thought about manifestation as talent, nothing much happened.

‘I bet you gave me something good.’

Anyway, I went to the tiger shelter to heal after a short break.

Besides this, there was one more good thing.

>Charm (2)

As she gained the Queen’s charismatic talent, this also grew along with it.

Charm was a versatile talent that could be used in many different ways.

So growth was a welcome development.

Well, it was the same with other talents too.

“I’ve gained a lot.”

There were other things besides things I received directly like this.

It was a special experience, and it was a way to properly use Manseonggong.

I’ve written about connecting talents before, but never written about them so cohesively… … .

‘That’s what happens.’

The effect was, of course, good.

I think it would also be useful for making other drinks or menus.

Even if it’s not exactly that kind of place, it feels like it has more utility.

I was able to quickly get rid of a wasp nest with a wasp attractant made with talents mixed with charm.

It can be said that he gave generously.

“then…….”

I decided to go get one more.

Honey house.

The queen bee said.

The power has weakened, so it will no longer be possible to maintain a honeycomb of that size. So use it well.

Instead, she asked them to leave just a little bit for the bee who would later become the queen.

Is this the foundation for gathering power as queen?

That was good for me, too, because if the bees settled nearby and started gathering honey, I would have another chance to collect it later.

“Wow… … I saw it earlier, but the scale of it was no joke.”

We returned to where the honeycomb was.

He was holding a lot of containers in both hands to hold it.

But I’m not sure if this will work, since the inside of the tree is filled with honeycombs full of honey.

What I saw earlier was just the tip of the iceberg.

Thick honey dripped from above.

“Even it’s aged honey.”

It refers to honey that has been stored, also known as naturally aged honey.

Honey is a complete food in itself, but it is not that it does not mature.

When bees first stored honey, it contained quite a bit of moisture.

If stored in that state, it may spoil, so we have a process to blow away moisture by flapping its wings.

And after the moisture was removed, it was sealed, and the honey stored inside was just like that.

Maybe that’s why the color and scent were strong.

‘It smells like trees and flowers.’

The various scents were mixed together, so it felt like being inside the tree would make you intoxicated with the sweet smell and fragrance.

It seems the queen bee wasn’t a special guest for nothing.

“If it weren’t for the wasps, I would have stayed here longer.”

That’s too bad.

Oh, but if there was a queen bee, wouldn’t it have been difficult to get that honey anyway?

That has its own problems though.

There’s no need to make such assumptions anyway since it’s already in the past.

Anyway, I decided to dig up some honey.

The remaining bees buzzed around, but without a queen, they were powerless.

Thanks to this, the work was easy.

The honeycomb was carefully removed from the bottom.

Each lump grew so large that, as expected, the container was quickly filled.

“hmm.”

It seems like it would be difficult to harvest all the matured honey today.

Fortunately, the honeycomb above was sealed, so if you keep the gaps in the wood well closed, it shouldn’t get damaged.

Still, I cut it off to taste a piece.

I cut it into small pieces with the knife I brought, and honey really flowed out between them.

It’s so full and stuffed…

I put the whole honeycomb in my mouth before it flowed any further.

‘… … !’

The honey just melted away.

And it filled my mouth.

‘Wow, so that’s why… … .’

If you eat it like this, you’ll understand.

Why do people say that when you eat something delicious it tastes like honey?

It’s so delicious that even if two people eat it, one won’t know it even if they die.

After tasting it, I wanted to pick them all, but I pushed my regret aside and sealed the gap in the tree.

“Is it perfect?”

It seems like it was blocked so well that it wasn’t noticeable even to me.

Mark the location so you don’t forget… … .

Finally, I gathered the dead bees around me.

If we leave it like this, it will disappear over time.

Still, I received a lot of gifts from the queen bee, so I plan to finish it.

He dug a small hole nearby and buried it carefully.

And then he piled stones on top of it.

I paused in front for a moment and then turned around.

I had a lot of luggage to take with me. It was heavier than when I came.

“I will use it well.”

I went down carefully in case I spilled anything.

* * *

So I returned to the cafe and discovered something unexpected.

‘You went?’

Kuru~

‘Hmm. Are you coming back?’

Kukuru~

‘That’s fortunate.’

The bee that was supposedly taking queen bee lessons in the dream has disappeared.

The brownie who was guarding the cafe told me about it.

And he also told me the message the bee left behind.

They say he’s not leaving completely.

I’m just leaving for a moment to take Queen Bee classes.

He tells me not to worry, because he will return soon and build a new kingdom.

‘I’m a little worried, though.’

The image of her head getting caught in the flowers and her butt wiggling was still vivid in my mind.

Well, I guess the queen bee taught you well.

I decided to just hope that he would come back safely. That was the only thing I could do.

And that wasn’t the only surprising fact. After finishing talking to Brownie in the kitchen while organizing the honey I had collected, I looked toward the hall.

Clearly I wasn’t invited, but there were a lot of people in the cafe.

Suah, Hansong, Lee Seon-ah, and even the village chief.

“Wow! It’s huge!”

“This is the first time I’ve seen a wasp nest like this. It’s different from a bee nest. It looks like it’s made of tree bark.”

“… … .”

Su-ah and Han-songi are admiring the container containing the wasp nest, and Seon-ah is just taking pictures of it without saying anything.

The village chief… … .

“Oh, yeah. I think one or two should be enough. The price is up to the person calling, man. I’ll try to explain it well.”

I was talking intently on the phone with someone while inspecting a wasp nest.

Judging from the conversation, it seems like they are negotiating… … .

I think he was probably talking about dealing with wasp nests.

Since I won’t be using the wasp nest anyway, I thought it would be better to leave it to the village chief.

“Have you all seen it?”

“mister!”

After finishing cleaning up the hive, he came out to the counter. Then, Su-ah ran over and sat down in front of him.

“Did the old man really do that?”

“Then if I don’t do it, who will?”

“Oh… … .”

“So, did you finish school?”

“Of course. What do you think of me?”

Su-ah said with her shoulders squared proudly. Well, I was going to get kicked out because of this.

But isn’t it true that there is no need to be confident?

Anyway, it seems like Su-ah just came right after finishing school.

“Can I upload this?”

“Huh? On video?”

“huh.”

After thinking about Lee Seon-ah’s words for a moment, he soon nodded.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. But aren’t you a game broadcaster? Is it okay to upload something like this as content?”

“It’s okay now because I’m in the process of growing my daily channel.”

It was clear that Lee Sun-ah came for the content. So she said that as long as the Tiger Shelter part wasn’t shown in the video, it would be fine.

And Ms. Hansong… I don’t know.

That guy is just an impulsive person. He might have just come out of curiosity.

“Mister! Honey house! Do you have a honey house too?”

“Yes.”

“Oh! Can you show me just this once?”

“Just wait. I’ll bring you a round.”

I wanted to share the honey anyway. It was delicious and effective.

[Wild Honey]

*effect

─Strengthening immunity

─Restore vitality

─Stress relief

There is nothing like this for modern people. And… …there is nothing like this as bait.

One, two, three, four.

So you’re saying there are four labor forces?

Moreover, one of them is a veteran with physical specs that more than makes up for the shortcomings of the other three.

He called people over kindly with a smile on his face.

“Okay. Everyone come and have a bite of this.”

“Huh? But you made a weird expression just now.”

“That’s strange. You’re not going to eat this?”

“Oh! No!”

Sharp guy.

It was as if Su-ah had sensed something ominous. However, when she was shown a honeycomb with golden honey flowing out of it, her eyes were quickly drawn to it.

As for the rest, I don’t think you even noticed it anyway.

“Oh? It seems like it was a fairly large hive?”

The village chief, who was only interested in the wasp nest, also showed interest by looking at the beehive and gauging its strength. And he ate the piece of honeycomb I gave him without much suspicion.

The rest is the same.

Everyone took a bite first.

“Wow!!”

“It’s really delicious!”

“oh!”

And everyone reacted strongly.

As it was an expected reaction, he just smiled faintly and closed the lid of the remaining hive.

Well then… …I can’t just give this expensive thing away.

“Can you give me more?”

“Big.”

Su-ah said, placing both hands on the counter table and looking at me with pity.

And in response to Su-ah’s words, everyone gave her a look that seemed to be secretly hoping for something, even though they didn’t say anything.

Well, the village chief also got caught up in it.

That wasn’t the image you had.

“Don’t you want to eat more deliciously?”

He spoke with a hint of charisma and charm (2) that was full of the energy of a lifetime. Then, as expected, Su-ah reacted.

“Oh! It tastes better?”

“Yeah. It’s delicious as is, but I’d rather eat it more deliciously.”

“great!”

Is it because of the effects of this life? Everyone nodded in agreement with Su-ah’s words.

Maybe because communication was mixed, everyone felt like they were on good terms. If we did this, things would be easier to resolve.

“Okay. Then… … shall we all go out to the empty lot?”

When I suddenly told them to go out, everyone looked puzzled.

Still, I followed along obediently.

Why?

Rangi, who was rolling around in the sunlight in the empty lot, tilted his head in puzzlement at the sudden movement of people.

Why do your facial expressions look the same as other people’s?

“What are you doing here?”

“What are you doing? Just cleaning up to get ready for summer and pulling out weeds.”

“… … Well, it’s a weed.”

People who call country life, or house life, romantic don’t know the ugliness of the small yard they desire.

Even if you leave the yard for just a moment, the yard will be filled with blue monsters. No matter how much you tear them apart.

However, the open space of the tiger shelter is large. It is incomparable to that of a regular house.

It’s a vegetable garden. I don’t know if it’s because Tori takes care of it these days, but it’s okay…

Even though I pulled out weeds every morning when I came up to the vacant lot, they were already there when I got home.

‘The deadline is approaching.’

So now is the perfect time. Time to pull out more weeds before going down.

Normally I would have done this alone, but today there are so many customers, what a great opportunity this is!

Besides, I climbed the mountain several times today and didn’t have the energy to pull out the weeds.

I usually go out and clean up during business hours, but today, with the wasps and the queen bee customer, I didn’t have time to do that.

It was obvious that if I just finished work like this and left, and went to work tomorrow, hell would unfold again.

So, let’s do it when there are a lot of people.

Instead, the plan was to feed them something delicious.

“Heh heh. If I hadn’t tasted this, I would have just left, but I can’t do that.”

The weeding began with the village chief’s declaration of surrender. There was some grumbling, but it seemed like everyone was thinking the same thing.

Why?

Rangi sat next to me and watched, wondering what was strange about the sight.

“Is Langyi keeping a close eye on you here?”

Why~

Leaving Langi behind, I went inside to prepare a honeycomb menu to calm the angry public sentiment.

And as I was heading to the kitchen, I suddenly turned around and saw an empty lot.

There were people there, working hard to pull out weeds.

It was a strange feeling to look at it. When did these connections come about here?

There were special days when the queen bee guest came, and ordinary days that were no different from any other day. It was like that, piling up one by one.

And then it passed by like flowing water.

That was really amazing.

I am the owner of a place where new things come to me even though the aftertaste remains. Looking at that appearance again, various thoughts came to mind.

Of course, I feel a bit sorry for making the village chief work there… … .

‘hmm?’

But this feeling did not last long. It was because of the aura of Baek Su-ho coming up the narrow path.
