I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 89

Episode 89

The one who completely quelled Su-ah’s complaints was Sook-sook.

The flower buds of the mugwort are in full bloom.

At the same time, a sour floral scent, slightly lemony but slightly softer, filled the garden.

How moved I was when I first saw the sight of the Ssuksukki covered in pure white flowers.

Of course, we still don’t know Ssuk-Ssuk’s true identity.

I was thinking of making an analogy with flowers… … .

‘I feel like it won’t take long for me to tell you.’

It seemed like Ssuksuk would do that.

I don’t know when though.

[Ssuksukki (???)]

*situation

─Growth type

─Long-term waiting

*effect

─Strengthening pest control

─Blessing (3/3)

─Purification

Anyway, the state of the blooming mugwort has changed a little. Along with the number of blessings, one more effect has been added.

‘Purification… … .’

I’m not sure exactly what you’re purifying.

Is it supposed to purify the dull aura?

I tried it and there was no change for me.

‘Sooah is the same.’

I tried to do this to Suah who came out of the garden, but this was the same.

When you use your talent, you feel like you’ve used something, but this wasn’t like that at all.

I thought I would have to wait a bit to find out.

I’ll use it wherever I want.

“But what kind of tree is that? It smells so good!”

“Well, I don’t know.”

“Huh? You don’t know? Why?”

“They won’t tell me.”

Su-ah made a face as if to ask what that meant.

I avoided him with a faint smile.

I really don’t know, what can I do?

Fortunately, Su-ah’s attention was quickly diverted elsewhere.

“Hey! It’s a rabbit!”

It was because of the tori that came down to the garden.

Seeing him constantly twitching his nose in the garden, it seems he too was drawn to the scent of the mugwort flowers.

“Tori is a kid who sometimes comes to play in the garden.”

“Did you even give it a name?”

“How did it come to this?”

“But what is a tori? A tori for a rabbit?”

Before you criticize my naming sense, think about yourself first. Is it okay for a cat to be called a tiger?

“Ah! Aren’t you fighting with Lang?”

“We’re on good terms, right?”

They looked at me with an expression that said, “How could that be?” But who would know? It’s their mind.

Anyway, it seems that Su-ah has completely recovered from her misery.

“Would you like some refreshing plum ade?”

“Is the plum delicious?”

“Have you never tried it?”

“Yes. Isn’t it something like a jujube?”

Oh my, how dare you put plums and jujubes on the same level… … It was nonsense.

Back in my day, whenever I went to a site, there was almost always at least one bottle of green plum drink… … Ahem.

It’s not quite a generational difference, but let’s just stop thinking about it.

I already received some plum extract and plums from the village chief. I originally planned to buy them, but he said I could take them, so I didn’t refuse.

Today, the village chief was very excited not only because of Sim Ye-rin, who became his disciple in half a day, but also because of the members of Blue Camellia.

“Yes! Tell me about the Blue Camellia too!”

“I don’t really have anything to say. Would you like to drink here?”

“Is that okay?”

“Sua won’t do it.”

“Hehehe! Then I’ll drink here!”

“Just wait a minute.”

While making the plum ade, I also took out the table and chairs that I used when Hajun came over to visit.

I glanced over and saw Suah sitting under the ssuksuk tree, watching Tori and Rangi play in the garden.

Oh, no. I was busy taking pictures and videos with my phone.

“Sir! Can I post this on social media?”

As I came out with the prepared items, Su-ah quickly asked.

When I saw what was shown, I knew it was a photograph.

Since the focus is on Rangi and Tori, I thought it would be okay to upload it with the garden as the background.

“Or so it is. Oh, by the way, they haven’t seen Tori.”

“Who is it?”

“The kids who came and went today.”

“Blue camellia?”

When I nodded, Suah made an ahem sound and started doing something diligently on her phone.

I wonder if it’s okay for me to be the only one who saw Tori. But it doesn’t matter because he’s cute.

“Oh right! Didn’t Seon-ah and So-jung appear on a show together?”

“Oh. So that’s what happened?”

“Ugh! As expected, I’m the only one who didn’t see it.”

“That’s not it. I haven’t seen author Hansong either. I don’t know if she’s working or not.”

“oh!”

I set the table at a good time to see Su-ah, who I like, having a friend. When I gave her some plum ade, Su-ah tilted her head.

“Is this it?”

“Oh. Try it. It’ll be delicious.”

“Um… … Since the old man made it, I’ll try it.”

Oh my. It’s such an honor.

By the way, Grandpa, didn’t you use plums? Or did Su-ah just not know?

I guess it’s the latter, so is that the first drink I’ve ever made that can’t be compared to Grandpa’s?

I feel a little more nervous because you said there’s no comparison.

Of course, it’s a bit ambiguous since I didn’t make the plum extract myself.

‘But I used a new talent.’

This time, I used the talent I received, Inspiration.

This talent that Yimiso gave me allowed me to put one of my talents into a drink.

It was similar to sacrifice, but a little different in that it didn’t consume any of the aura I had.

However, the effect was slightly reduced.

So, if sacrifice is focused on one person, this felt like it was spreading to many.

In a way, it was a talent that was perfect for Tiger Shelter, which has been seeing an increasing number of guests these days.

[Plum Ade]

*effect

─Inspiration─>Exercise (24)

The effect was added without any particular reason.

Suah likes to dance and just likes to move.

“Mmm~ It’s delicious!”

“yes?”

“It’s like fruit!”

He closed his eyes tightly and drank, then opened them again and said it was delicious.

There is nothing to compare it to today, but I was satisfied with the reaction.

“Can I have one more drink?”

“No. I’ll get a stomachache.”

Unfortunately, plum drinks are best enjoyed in moderation.

Su-ah, who had already finished drinking, licked her lips but didn’t ask for more. I found that sight so admirable that I couldn’t help but snicker.

“Why are you laughing?”

“just.”

“What is that?”

Suah puffed out her cheeks at my words.

Then suddenly, as if something occurred to him, he started giggling.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Just like that.”

“… … Is that so?”

I knew it.

I looked up at Sooksooki and answered the guy’s words indifferently…

“When I first came here, I was like this all the time, but now I smile a lot?”

“Huh? How was it?”

“Like this.”

Su-ah suddenly raised her eyebrows with her fingers and imitated with a dirty expression.

But even so, did a person do that?

“I don’t think that was the case.”

“It’s true. I felt like I was going to burst if I got too close.”

That may have been the case in many ways.

Looking back, both the customer and Ssuksuk were healed and changed, but so was I. It was because I was resting like this and I didn’t have any thoughts.

“Anyway! Why did Blue Camellia come here all of a sudden?”

“He said he came here before and liked it so he came back.”

“Oh! Right.”

Suah started asking me questions about the Blue Camellia in earnest. And I thought that the day would end like that as I spent the late afternoon talking about it… … .

Booooo~

A welcome guy has arrived.

* * *

The bee that returned was a little different than before.

First of all, she became [Queen Bee].

And then he went into the place where the original beehive was.

Actually, I had blocked it before, but it seemed like he was asking me to open it, so I opened it.

And then I went inside and settled down. Then, strangely enough, other bees that I thought had left gathered and formed a small force.

‘Is it something like a pheromone?’

It might not be the case, since he’s not a typical guy.

Anyway, the important thing was that the guy started leading the bees in place of the queen bee.

Booooo~

Thanks to this, the worker bees gathered again and started working around the garden and vacant lot.

And most of the bees that become queen bees live in the hive… … .

Booooo~

“Are you here?”

Sometimes I fly into a cafe like this.

I looked this up, and it seems like this isn’t usually the case.

The queen bee is called a queen, but in reality, she is a bee that lays eggs in the hive more like a factory than the worker bees.

And if such a queen bee leaves the house, the other forces will naturally fall apart, so it is said that there is no reason for her to leave unless she moves the house.

‘But this kid keeps coming to play while the other bees are working.’

It may seem like a stretch, but when I think of the original queen bee that came to the cafe, I just accept it.

It’s even more surprising that it has human form, this is all.

“ruler.”

Anyway, the queen bee who came to play like this usually went into my shoulder or apron pocket and ate the snacks I gave her.

By the way, should I call this pet farming? It feels like I’m raising it, even though I’m not raising it.

“You’ve worked hard too, so you should get some rest.”

So, whenever he came, I always prepared something sweet for him.

I even gave it a name. Bongbong.

As expected, it didn’t have any special meaning.

It’s just a bongbong flying around, so it’s called a bongbong.

Just like how a ssuksuk grows so fast that it becomes a ssuksuk.

[BongBong (Queen Bee)]

*situation

─Tired

─Peace

*effect

─Improved productivity

And when I gave it a name, a text window appeared like this.

It was a similar situation with SsukSsuk, Tori, Kkuku, and Brownie.

However, that doesn’t mean you can just give anything a name.

There seemed to be some kind of condition.

I still don’t know exactly what it is, but I have a feeling that I will naturally find out later when another being appears to give it a name.

And there was another funny thing.

Kuru~?

It’s also funny that Brownie showed interest in Bongbong…

Booooo~

Bongbong reacted when Brownie came near him, as if he knew of Brownie’s presence.

Feeling a little wary?

Every time this happened, Brownie would get a little sullen, but fortunately it was only for a moment. He continued to hang around and show interest.

Then, Bongbong would be on guard a few more times and then just ignore him or leave the place altogether.

I just watched it a few times because it was so interesting… … .

“Let’s let Bongbong rest for a while too.”

Kuru~

I thought it would be good for us to keep a reasonable distance from each other, so I just mediated.

Then Brownie didn’t say anything and just stood far away.

‘Is it because the process by which we both came here was similar?’

I’m not sure exactly how they recognize each other, but that’s what I’m assuming.

Anyway, they really couldn’t help but be interesting guys.

Booooo~

“You want more? Okay. What kind of bee likes plum extract?”

As I stayed still, Bongbong signaled for more.

I put some plum extract on a small teaspoon and put it near his mouth, and he ate it well.

She was cute as a bee, and she’s cute as a queen bee, too. In fact, she seems to have become even more chubby?

I’m not really a fan of insects, but this one was different.

The yellow and black stripes, and the way the butt wiggles.

Was it because I was reminded of the queen bee that came looking for me in human form? I thought I could see her figure a little bit.

Well, if we really have to be specific, it’s not the mature version of the queen bee, but rather the child version.

“Oh my. I have all sorts of strange thoughts.”

Is it because I’m with these guys?

I stopped thinking about Bongbong-i, who had eaten his fill of plum extract, as he went into his pocket.

This guy is fun to raise.

“What? Why?”

Langi stared blankly at this scene from the counter and then quickly turned his head.

Why is he like that? Is it because I don’t pay much attention to him these days?

Zing! Zing!

“huh?”

Just then, as I was tilting my head in confusion at the unknown thoughts in Rangi’s mind, a text message arrived.

A familiar name came to mind and I looked… … .

>Brother, do you have some time this evening?

He was a guardian angel.

What’s going on with this guy?

He said that if we were going to meet at a cafe, it would be okay even if it was late.

Since it’s only a stone’s throw from my house anyway, it doesn’t matter if I stay at the cafe until Suho comes.

Then Suho immediately gave the answer.

>Then I’ll go right after I finish practicing!
