Episode 88
The flowers, finally fully in bloom, each showed off their own charms, yet blended together as if they were one.
It was a look that I wanted to show to others, even though they wouldn’t be able to see it, because it was really pretty.
“What are you looking at like that?”
“Just because it looked good.”
“Idol?”
“… … How could that be?”
A look of bewilderment naturally appeared on my face when I heard Lee Seon-ah’s words, who was standing next to me, asking when I would come.
I think he ended his personal broadcast by leaving with Han So-jeong.
“What happened?”
“Huh? Ah. Hmm… … That was good content.”
I asked how he ended up doing a broadcast with Han So-jung, and this is what he said.
It’s amazing what Han So-jeong’s talents blossomed from.
Was it [acting]?
“I told him to come in because he was watching from outside, and he came in.”
“……okay?”
This time it was a proper answer, but even that was quite unusual. The one who called and the one who came.
Well, as long as they’re both satisfied, that’s fine.
One got the content, the other got the talent.
“But how do you know about Blue Camellia?”
“Me? Ms. Go Na-eun came as a guest before.”
“Really? You seem really close.”
“We’re close. We just happen to be like that because I’m just guiding you around the village.”
Friendship with a current idol? … It’s just a cafe owner and a customer, but should we call that friendship?
at that time.
“Boss! This is really delicious! How can it be so delicious when I made it so quickly!?”
Go Na-eun shouted as she handed out drinks to the other members and drank her share.
I’ve felt it before, but the way he jumps around and enjoys himself really resembles a rabbit.
Tori does that when he gets excited.
“That’s because plum extract is delicious.”
The original purpose of coming here was to find hints to help your talent blossom, but it was a bit different from the original intention, so in the end, it was successful…
I also sat comfortably in the yard and drank some plum ade.
I’ve eaten a lot of things with just plum extract, but I’ve never eaten something with raw plum flesh and juice.
‘Oh? It’s really delicious.’
First of all, it was refreshing.
It wasn’t that it was sour, but that it had a really strong plum flavor. I think it was probably because they added fresh plum juice.
It was a little different from the mature, condensed flavor that I got from plum extract. It didn’t linger in my mouth as heavily as that.
Instead, it hovered more lightly around my mouth and nose and then disappeared.
And then the richness of plum extract filled it. It was a sweet and refreshing drink that was perfect for quenching my thirst.
I guess I’ll have to either get some plum extract or buy some plums.
I thought it would be good to use over and over again.
“Why are you staring like that? Is this the first time you’ve seen me drink a beverage?”
“No, it seems like the real cafe owner is tasting it.”
“… … Is that so? But there were plums in the village chief’s field too?”
“Wouldn’t it be faster to find something that isn’t there?”
As Lee Seon-ah said, it seemed like there was nothing missing in the village chief’s field.
“Ah. My hair has been falling out lately.”
“… … Let’s not touch that.”
Lee Sun-ah shrugged her shoulders.
Chief… … Hmm.
I almost looked at it for no reason, but I held back.
I think it’s time to leave the village chief’s house now.
“Huh? Guys. The manager is coming soon.”
“Really? That’s too bad. I want to stay longer.”
“If the next new song becomes a hit, then let’s go and rest for real! Mr. Lee, is that okay with us?”
At that moment, Go Na-eun also received a call from her manager and told the members to go back soon.
There, I acted cute and asked the village chief if I could come again.
Naturally, the village chief told me to come whenever I wanted. He even made the outrageous suggestion that I could come and stay in his house if I needed to, since he had plenty of rooms.
In particular, I appealed to Yerin, who taught me how to exercise, saying that if she came for about a week, I would teach her more detailed exercises, such as upper body, lower body, and standing.
I guess you really liked it.
“Shall we go back?”
“yes!”
Lee Sun-ah and Han So-jung exchanged greetings and decided to slowly go up to the cafe and wait for the manager.
And like a mother hen returning home with her chicks, she heads to the cafe first… … .
‘huh?’
Sararang~ Love~
The talented flowers that formed a flower garden spread a clear and bright aura along the path that the blue camellia moved along.
Is it okay for it to be like that?
It doesn’t seem like the Blue Camellia is losing its aura though…
This would have been a normal phenomenon if it had been a regular cafe, but since it was still in the village, I was skeptical.
‘It’s not like it’s seeping into me.’
Just like spreading the fragrance of flowers around, they spread their aura around them… What is this? Is this the effect of the four of them creating a flower garden of aura?
I felt more curious than worried.
“hello~!”
“Oh my! They’re so pretty. Whose daughters are they that make them so pretty?”
Especially when greeting the townspeople passing by, the auras rippled even more.
And to the townspeople who brightly responded to Blue Camellia’s bright greeting…
‘Huh? It’s not being absorbed.’
Looking closely, I saw auras just rippling around.
It’s as if I’m using the tuning to excite the auras.
So maybe Blue Camellia is having an effect similar to tuning right now.
This, I found out, is interesting.
I didn’t know this when I was just at the cafe.
‘The aura of guests can influence other people.’
In a way, it’s obvious, but I never thought about it until now.
Because it was invisible.
But then, through an unexpected opportunity, I discovered something new.
‘It seems good?’
First of all, the aura was bright and clear.
As the saying goes, laughter is contagious, and it seemed like positive energy was spreading throughout the village.
“Dogs! Eat this on the go.”
“Oh! Thank you! I’ll enjoy it!”
Among the people I greeted, there was even someone who brought snacks and handed them out.
It was almost as if he was talking to his grandchildren.
Blue Camellia accepted it with a smile, without taking it off.
I thought it was just for image management or fan service, but judging from their expressions, it seemed like everyone really liked it.
“Wow! It’s Kang Jeong. I really like Kang Jeong.”
“They even gave me rice cakes!”
“potato.”
“kimchi!”
Before they knew it, their arms were filled with snacks.
Um… … No, but I thought, “Isn’t it a bit much for kimchi?”
“Wow! It’s so old! I’ll eat well! Let’s go to our lodging and eat some ramen!”
Go Na-eun liked it and tried to receive it.
But… …Why are you giving it to me?
“Those puppies don’t have hands right now. Mr. Cheon’s grandson, please hold them.”
“Ah. Yes. Okay.”
So you were asking me to come in as a porter.
It’s quite heavy. How much did you give me?
I have to go before this gets too heavy.
Even as I was moving quickly, I could see the blue camellia radiating an aura.
I don’t know if this effect only applies to celebrities, but either way, it was a good thing.
Blue Camellia, and others too.
“Huh? It’s the manager!”
When I arrived at the small path in front of the cafe, the manager who had left earlier due to urgent business was there.
“What is all this?”
“The adults gave it to us! Do you have any old ones? If it’s our ramen… … .”
“No! Are you going to make your face swell up after eating ramen?”
“Ahh~ Just once~ Just once~”
Go Na-eun clung to her manager and acted cute.
At times like this, he seems like the youngest rather than the leader. He really is a charming friend.
Of course, the manager’s expression remained unchanged, but… … there was a twist.
“No. If you’re going to eat it… … you have to eat it with meat!”
“Oh! Really? Is that meat not chicken breast?”
“The CEO wants to buy you something delicious to eat today.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I got an ad!”
Everyone jumped for joy at the manager’s words.
Then the auras bloomed even more.
“Thank you, boss!”
“Yes? Me? What did I do?”
“It’s just that whenever I come here, it seems like only good things happen! And you showed me around the town. Thanks to you, I even got some old maps!”
“Ah. It’s old.”
I was looking at the blooming aura and was surprised when he suddenly said thank you.
But is it good that I can eat pork belly with fermented soybeans? Is it good that something good happened?
I couldn’t tell by looking at Go Na-eun’s expression.
Well, both.
“It really feels like I’m visiting my grandparents in the countryside. Right?”
“That’s right. Get some rest, eat, and get some more rest. Oh, but my muscle idiot sister only worked out.”
“Who is a muscle fool?!”
Yimi So and Sim Ye-rin bickered again. Han So-jeong lowered her head without saying anything and then raised her head.
“Go to sleep! Then let’s go quickly. We have to go before the sun sets. I’m tired.”
“Oh! By the way, where did my sister’s dark circles go? Did she eat something good without telling us?”
“No, I didn’t. I only drank the drinks the cafe owner gave me all day. I’m hungry.”
The manager, who had a clear aura as if he was recovering from fatigue, took care of the members like a kindergarten teacher.
Everyone seems to get along really well.
“Okay. We’ll be going now. Thank you for taking care of the kids today.”
“Yes, I had fun too. Come by anytime you want to relax.”
All the members got into the car and greeted the manager.
As I opened the window and watched the members waving their hands, they felt just like my cousins who had come to the countryside to play and were returning home.
Phew!
After saying goodbye like that, I went up the narrow path to clean up the car that was disappearing… … !
Knock! Totok! Knock!
“uh?”
Flower petals fluttered along the path.
The colorful flowers of light made of aura shone in the light, just like looking at jewels.
There have been times when Aura’s petals have scattered, but today was a little different.
Originally it was a scentless aura, but the strong scent of flowers seemed to fill the path.
So, the scent added to the already nice scenery of the secluded path made it seem even more lively.
Should I say that the sense of three-dimensionality has increased?
‘Is it because the perceived senses have increased?’
Of course, there were already scents of grass, trees, and earth, but if those were the base, the floral scent seemed to be layered on top.
It makes you wonder what kind of scent it is… … .
By the way, what kind of flower scent is that?
I don’t know. Is it because it’s the scent of Aura’s flowers, or is it the scent of a flower I just don’t know?
Of course, so what?
“Good.”
It was really good. It would be better if other people could take on this too, but that’s a shame.
If more guests come here and leave a big aura behind, will it eventually have a real scent?
Hmm… … Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to just try planting some flowers?
That might be quick.
Tong~!
The petals left behind by the blue camellia flew to me.
And then it was absorbed smoothly.
‘uh?’
I thought there wouldn’t be any talent absorption today… … .
>Imiso’s impression
>Sim Ye-rin’s exercise
>Han So-jeong’s acting
There were three of them.
This… I think I might become a real fan of Blue Camellia.
I walked up the narrow path with an unforgettable smile on my face.
As I walked up with light steps and entered the empty lot, the scent of flowers became stronger and spread.
And as we headed to the cafe, an even more surprising fact awaited us.
* * *
“Exciting!”
Suah blew air from her nostrils alternately to both sides.
He also said that it would be difficult to feel better if he had his arms crossed tightly.
‘hmm.’
But unfortunately, because the sight was so cute, I felt even more disappointed.
Is this what it’s like to have a young nephew?
One thing for sure is that it feels a little different from the Blue Camellia.
Intimacy is also like that.
“I told you that there was nothing I could do about it?”
“Who said what? Chii.”
The reason why Su-ah was upset like this was none other than the fact that the idol came but she didn’t see him.
Even though he saw other adults in the village, he seemed to be the only one who didn’t see him.
Even though he knows it, he still seems to be in a bad mood.
But should I start letting it go now?
“Instead, should I show you something pretty?”
“… … What is it?”
“Follow me.”
Because it’s something new, people immediately show interest.
It looked like he had hidden a blue camellia, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
instead.
“ruler.”
“What is it? There’s nothing… … Ugh!”
“How is it? Is it pretty?”
“yes!”
One thing immediately catches the eye as you open the door to the garden.
I also came back from welcoming the blue camellia and was surprised to see the ssuksukki in full bloom.
