When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 8



Only Krnovel

8. Don’t you want to eat again?

“…?”

Han Su-yeon stopped when she heard the sudden name Han Su-yeon.

Something that can be rude in front of people.

But the people who said those words didn’t have the capacity to care about it.

“What, what is it? Am I seeing things wrong?”

Eunha Yoo said, rubbing her eyes.

But still the same person was standing there.

This is the Han Su-yeon that I only saw on TV.

Of course, Yoo Seung-soo was also surprised.

‘What the hell happened?’

I just came to my neighbor’s house to eat, but I ended up having a completely unexpected encounter.

I wondered if a giant gate had appeared around here.

But if it was a gate that Han Su-yeon could personally enter, an evacuation order would have already been issued for the entire village.

Besides, those baggy clothes didn’t look like they were for combat or work.

“Wow… It’s really pretty…”

Eunha Yoo, standing next to me, muttered blankly.

His younger brother originally had a bit of a foolish disposition.

It didn’t discriminate between men and women either.

But honestly, I think we have to admit it now.

‘I thought it was some kind of doll standing there.’

The siblings also did not have the appearance to be envied anywhere.

Rather, I have lived my whole life hearing people call me handsome and beautiful.

Even when he was in Seoul, he was quite popular with the opposite sex due to his sophisticated appearance and urban vibe.

But it was nothing compared to the being before my eyes.

I’ve seen a famous actress before by chance, but unlike back then when I only had a brief impression, this is the first time I’ve felt this way.

Well, it didn’t seem like we were just living in the same world.

An overwhelming reality that cameras and such cannot capture.

Yoo Seung-soo looked at Oh Hyeon-seong and Han Su-yeon alternately.

Somehow, when I first saw Oh Hyun-seong, his visuals seemed unusual.

When I saw the two of them together like this, they seemed to really suit each other.

They say the drawing style has to match.

“Wow, this guy is a capable person.”

“I’m not a hunter.”

“?”

“No, no, what’s your relationship with each other?”

For some reason, she whispers behind Han Soo-yeon’s back as if trying to hide it from him.

Eunha Yoo came closer and asked Hyunseong Oh.

“We just know each other by face.”

“How is it that you know each other?”

“You know, we worked at the same place and became friends as we ran into each other.”

“Then you’re not dating…?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Oh Hyun-seong’s expression seemed as if he was really shocked.

Eunha Yoo felt confused at that sight.

She loved the gossip of the hunter world, and had fantasized about a top-class hunter having a secret boyfriend or a secret spouse in her head several times.

And what kind of person is that, coming to the house of a man who lives alone and only knows his face, and doing that?

“My senior had a really good reputation in the management office. When I first came in, he taught me a lot of things, and we became really close.”

“omg.”

Eunha Yoo took a deep breath as Hansooyeon came closer without her noticing.

For some reason, they ended up facing each other over each other’s shoulders, with Oh Hyeon-seong between them.

At the sight of her smiling brightly, Eunha Yoo’s cheeks turned bright red and she opened her mouth that had been hesitating.

“Excuse me… please sign this.”

***

“Aha, you’re the person who lives next door to my senior.”

“Yes, yes, that’s right.”

“How did you know that?”

“Of course! I’m a real fan. Woohoo.”

Eun-ha Yoo’s expression, as she sat on the floor and received autographs, was filled with emotion.

Any initial doubts had already disappeared.

Oh Hyun-seong burst into laughter at the sight.

I knew that Han Su-yeon was famous in society, but I didn’t think she would react that way.

“Let’s eat quickly.”

Two men had already set the table in the living room.

Since I just had to unfold the lunch box I brought, there was no need to prepare anything separately.

There were only a few dishes and appetizer plates.

While everyone was gathered, Oh Hyeon-seong burst into laughter at the sight of Yoo Seung-su creaking as he sat next to him.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t very interested in the hunter industry?”

“That’s a limit. Are you saying that because you don’t know who is in front of you right now?”

Yoo Seung-soo spoke quietly into my ear.

Even in the midst of all that, he glanced at Han Su-yeon, who was sitting across from him, and spoke.

It’s still hard to believe that these big-time hunters who frequent the Blue House sit around this small table and eat lunch together.

“I see. I’ve been in the hospital room for so long that I don’t feel well.”

Oh Hyun-seong tilted his head and picked up the spoon.

I thought they had roughly packed some side dishes since they had been wrapped in a cloth outside earlier, but inside was a nicely wrapped lunch box.

I heard that Eunha Yoo, who has a hobby of cooking, made it all.

Just looking at the menu composition and the neatly arranged food, I could tell that the cooking skills were excellent.

Eunha Yoo also seemed quite proud of her cooking, as she spoke proudly.

Of course, the current Oh Hyun-seong is eating potatoes and lettuce from the garden and his taste buds have become very sophisticated.

On the other hand, the ingredients used in the lunch box were woefully inadequate.

Although the siblings used less crops grown in the facility, most of the food was made with factory-made ingredients, so it wasn’t tasty.

So, inevitably, the food wasn’t tasty.

I just feel like I did my best to prevent it.

The point is to lose less appetite.

“How does it taste?”

“Mmm, it’s delicious.”

Han Su-yeon answered with a smile.

But he couldn’t hide the awkward movement of his lips from Oh Hyun-seong.

That’s because she also ate a lot of potatoes from the garden yesterday.

Even when I woke up today with the expectation that I would be able to eat that potato, I was suddenly disappointed when I ended up eating something completely different.

But he didn’t show it on the outside.

“I ate well!”

After such a slightly ambiguous meal.

While the prize was being cleared, a scuffle broke out.

“We’ll do the dishes!”

“No, the one who got it should clean it up. You guys go and sit down.”

“That’s right, we’ll clean it up.”

“Ha, but… is it okay for you to wash the dishes with those beautiful hands…?”

“What are you talking about with a guy who can even tear a monster apart with his bare hands?”

Oh Hyun-seong made an extremely absurd expression.

Then he forcibly dragged the siblings away and made them sit in the living room.

When the guys gave up, Oh Hyun-seong returned to the kitchen and encountered Han Su-yeon, who was already wearing rubber gloves and had her hair tied back in front of the sink.

“You have good neighbors. They take such good care of you.”

“Really? I’ve been with them for a few days and they’re nice guys. I think they take extra care of me because we’re both from Seoul.”

“Oh, so that guy has also moved to farming.”

“You came first two years ago. But the deputy director has surprisingly not forgotten how to wash dishes.”

“If you can’t even wash the dishes, you’re not a hunter, you’re a princess?”

“Okay, that’s good. I had something to do.”

“You’re going to make me do it?”

Han Soo-yeon looked up with a question mark floating above her head.

Then Oh Hyeon-seong smiled and said.

“Don’t you want to eat the potatoes you ate yesterday again?”

***

“What am I looking at right now?”

The brother and sister sitting side by side on the slope stared blankly ahead.

In the distance, Oh Hyeon-seong and Han Su-yeon are digging the ground with hoes in their hands.

Han Su-yeon working in the fields.

The God of the White Night, who has entered countless S-rank gates alone and tore apart monsters, is digging the ground with a hoe in his hand.

“…Senior, is this correct?”

“Oh, you’re doing well. Keep digging like that.”

Oh Hyun-seong raised his thumb.

Han Su-yeon scratched her head at the sight, sighed deeply, rolled up the sleeves of her shirt, and went to work.

“I never imagined I would come here and be doing this.”

“He who does not work shall not eat. Don’t you remember hearing that over and over again in the training camp?”

“I’d like to forget, but why are we digging around here?”

“Now that I’ve moved to the countryside, I’m going to start farming in earnest. I should try growing other crops besides potatoes.”

Oh Hyun-seong said, swinging the hoe down hard.

This is where the cereal crops are located, and beyond this I plan to create an orchard.

Fruits are delicious on their own even without any special cooking process, and they have a different flavor from cooked foods.

It had been so long since I had eaten proper fruit that I couldn’t remember the exact taste, but the image was engraved in my head.

“Farming… So, does that mean all the crops that grow here are delicious? Like the potatoes I ate?”

“Probably so.”

“Senior’s spirits have amazing abilities.”

Oh Hyun-seong’s expression changed at her words.

Did you already notice?

I was wondering why I didn’t ask anything about potatoes yesterday.

If you’ve tasted it yourself, you know that it’s not an ordinary potato.

“How did you know?”

“I heard it from the spirit.”

Boom boom!

A fire spirit suddenly popped out from Han Su-yeon’s shirt pocket.

A guy who sticks to her like a piece of gum.

Oh Hyeon-seong looked at the spirit as if he was dumbfounded.

“When did you go there again?”

“Don’t bother the child for no reason.”

Han Su-yeon says with a mischievous smile.

It looks like the spirit has been boiled in the meantime.

A story that would be impossible if it were normal.

However, Han Su-yeon is a person with such a special constitution.

He is also one of the few ‘magic responders’ in the whole of Korea.

A specialist who can not only simply accumulate and use magical power, but can also directly sense and control the magical power surrounding him.

Among them, Han Su-yeon is undoubtedly the most capable person.

Although, even on a regular basis, only Oh Hyeon-seong, the contractor, can perfectly understand what the spirits are saying.

Han Soo-yeon was also able to have specific conversations with spirits through the magic of her senses.

Besides, she was a veteran who had survived among those twisted politicians, so she could easily roast a few innocent spirits.

In particular, the fire spirit is even more vulnerable to Han Soo-yeon.

“Still, you should go and get scolded later.”

Squeak!

The spirit entered Han Su-yeon’s arms.

Of course, even if you do that, there’s no choice.

The contractor is here, so where would he go if he ran away?

“I’m saying this just in case, but I came here to retire and live a quiet life.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not the kind of fool who would go around saying things like this. You even helped me out with my former civil servant role earlier. Besides, I don’t want to make an enemy of my senior.”

“Isn’t it a bit too much for a high-ranking official with the entire management bureau to be praising a broken-legged, trash hunter so highly?”

“Well, all hunters of our generation would be like that.”

Han Soo-yeon shrugged her shoulders and said.

Certainly, in this matter, Han Su-yeon could be considered the most trustworthy opponent.

But he decided to make it clear here.

Swish.

Oh Hyun-seong took out a potato wrapped in foil from his bosom.

The aroma of perfectly steamed potatoes wafts up.

To someone who didn’t know, it would just smell delicious, but Han Su-yeon, who knew its destructive taste, couldn’t help but drool and swallow it.

This is the realm of instinct, not reason.

“B… cowardly.”

Although things were a little different than expected, he needed Han Soo-yeon’s cooperation anyway.

It wasn’t for nothing that I fed the quick-witted Han Su-yeon potatoes from the garden.

The story just got simpler when I needed a collaborator.

“I just happened to have something to talk about regarding farming. My dear junior, I have a favor to ask.”
