When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 93



Only Krnovel

93. Only complete cure

Joo Ji-hye was watching TV.

A faint scent wafting from somewhere made her head turn.

She said as Oh Hyeon-seong brought two bowls on a tray.

“Oh, is that dead?”

“Yes, it’s a special meal for patients.”

“Isn’t it just something you eat to help with digestion, not as a special meal?”

“Then should I just bite it?”

“sorry…”

Joo Ji-hye sits quietly in front of the dining table.

Oh Hyeon-seong placed a bowl of porridge in front of her.

The appearance of pure white porridge with no noticeable ingredients added.

Just as it looked ordinary, the smell it gave off was nothing special.

‘…kill me. I’m not complaining, but…I thought something different would come out.’

Joo Ji-hye’s expression became gloomy.

It was because I was really looking forward to eating here after such a long time, and because Oh Hyun-seong himself was doing it.

Of course, you don’t have to come down to Changyeong-ri to enjoy a delicious meal.

Even while I was in Seoul, there were delicious ingredients that Oh Hyun-seong packed for me or sent to me by courier, and if I cooked them at home, I was able to have a really delicious meal because the ingredients were so good.

But even if it was a meal prepared that way, it was on a whole different level from a meal served directly at Oh Hyun-seong’s house.

This was due to the difference in the material pool.

There was a field from which all the necessary ingredients could be airlifted, and there were various seasonings and sauces made with special ingredients that could only be found there.

Even if Oh Hyun-seong sent me the main ingredients without any shortcomings, it was no comparison to cooking at his home with all the necessary ingredients in abundance.

Joo Ji-hye also had problems with the mental aftereffects of the stress, so she was especially careful when sending her off, but that was the case.

My expectations were so high that I was faced with an extremely ordinary menu item that was supposed to be porridge.

No, actually, killing wasn’t even a common menu item.

In these times when factory-made synthetic crops are abundant, porridge is nothing more than a menu item for eating cheap ingredients that are too cheap to eat with a sober mind.

It has become a food that is especially common in slums.

The concept of delicious porridge is difficult to imagine in this day and age.

“What, are you disappointed?”

“Huh? Si, ​​you’re disappointed. I really like that porridge. Huh?”

Joo Ji-hye reacted with surprise.

But even so, Oh Hyun-seong could clearly see her expression, which had been devastated.

There is no way that she, who only ate all kinds of fancy food, would like death.

“…”

Joo Ji-hye picked up the spoon and stared at the porridge.

I couldn’t even remember the last time I had eaten something to kill.

She was born a few years later than Oh Hyun-seong, so unlike him who vaguely remembered food from the past, she had almost no memories of proper food.

It is inevitable that she will have deep-rooted prejudices about the menu itself.

But still, looking at the porridge placed in front of him, he strangely felt his mouth water.

She swallowed without realizing it.

Joo Ji-hye took the spoon, although she couldn’t understand herself, perhaps because she remembered that all the food she ate there was delicious.

Turup!

And then another bite.

I took a bite with a little fear and furrowed my brows, but the result was the complete opposite.

The first spoonful melted in my mouth.

The clean and simple flavor, along with the right amount of sesame oil, adds a rich flavor.

But what is more special than anything else is the presence of rice.

Although it is normal for it to lose some of its original flavor when made with porridge, the changed texture and taste gave it a new feel.

“Wow… delicious!”

It’s like you’re burying your nose in the rice cake and eating it without thinking.

If her past self had seen it, she would have been shocked.

But I liked things like that anyway.

It was so delicious that it was a shame to see this bowl go down.

“Should I give you one more?”

“Please give me more!”

Joo Ji-hye finished the dishes in an instant.

She ate three bowls in total.

He leaned back slightly, clutching his bloated stomach.

Her eyes slowly closed as she lay on the warm floor, her stomach full and her back warm.

“Cool…”

Oh Hyun-seong snickered at the sight of her immediately falling asleep.

“I wonder if that’s really the guy who suffered so much from insomnia.”

Oh Hyun-seong went into the room, spread out the bed, lifted her up, and laid her down in the room.

He covered me with a soft blanket, drew the curtains, and came out.

When you’re sick, the best thing to do is to get plenty of sleep and rest.

“It’s true that the ingredients have improved, but I also feel like my cooking skills have improved a lot.”

With a slightly satisfied feeling, I cleaned up the empty dishes and put them in the sink.

Unlike in the past when I was busy following recipes, I have started to see some interest in ways to utilize my own ingredients and create flavors.

The most noticeable part is that I think to myself that I am amazed at how well I can control my appetite.

dripping!

At that moment, a knock was heard at the front door.

Oh Hyeon-seong, who was reviewing his own cooking, suddenly turned his head and headed towards the front door, asking, “Someone?”

“senior.”

The person who appeared in front of him was Han Su-yeon.

Oh Hyun-seong was momentarily surprised by her unexpected appearance and reacted.

“You…were you the one who brought Joo Ji-hye here?”

“Yeah, I was about to come down too. Jihye, I’ll drop you off first, and I’ll go and take a quick look at Seol-ha in the village.”

I thought someone was an Aegis employee when they said they gave me a lift here, but I never thought it would be her.

“You even carpool together. When did you guys become so close?”

“Ms. Jihye, even if it wasn’t as much as your senior, I’ve done it for you too, right? It’s not awkward.”

Han Soo-yeon shrugged her shoulders and said.

It felt like it had been a long time since that story, but there was a time when we trained together Joo Ji-hye, who was suffering from mental illness.

Joo Ji-hye also considered Han Su-yeon as her second teacher and often followed her words.

“Hmm, I see. Anyway, I was going to go out to the field for a bit.”

“Then I’ll go too.”

Oh Hyeon-seong, who had something new to do, went out to the front gate and headed back to the field, and Han Su-yeon followed him.

We headed towards the rice fields where rice plants were planted.

The small, shabby rice fields that had once been there had disappeared, and a large, golden field had spread out across the entire site.

“You just came back from the field? Then why are you here again?”

“There’s one more thing to harvest.”

Oh Hyeon-seong quickly pulled out a dagger.

Han Su-yeon was startled when she saw the unusual dagger.

A completely different relic from the dagger he originally used.

However, it was not a relic of some mediocre weight, but a relic of national treasure level.

It is a weight class that is more than enough to fit into the first relic storage facility, which is said to store the nation’s power assets.

“But… you’re using that national treasure artifact for farming?”

“I made potatoes with this a while ago.”

“…”

Han Su-yeon was speechless.

Oh Hyeon-seong was looking at the rice harvesting scene with a bewildered look.

Most small countries did not have even a single national treasure-level relic.

Basically, not only was the probability of finding something like that within the gate extremely low, but it was impossible to attack the gate in the first place.

The discovery of a national treasure-level relic could only be expected in an S-rank gate at the very least.

Even if you happen to get your hands on it, it will soon be stolen by powerful organizations or hunters.

Even middle-sized countries with a certain level of power only possess one or two national treasures, and they become objects of interest and cherish for the entire nation.

But such things are owned by an individual, not a country.

It is not even being used for gate raiding or running a business, but rather for farming.

“Okay, that’s all. Let’s go back.”

Han Su-yeon, who had been just watching blankly, returned home in a daze.

Oh Hyeon-seong brought the rice that had been milled from the warehouse and made porridge using the rice as an ingredient.

During the remaining time, I sat in front of the table and chatted with Han Su-yeon and Doran.

As we talked like that, the sun began to set and it became evening.

“Sigh… Huh, I fell asleep…”

“Are you awake? Come out and eat.”

Joo Ji-hye, who woke up in the evening, sat down in front of the table in a shabby manner.

The menu was also killer.

However, this time, it is porridge made with rice harvested using Chattergil’s dagger.

The effects of the special crop rice that emits light were doubled and used in cooking as is.

“Oh, it’s delicious…”

Drumroll.

Joo Ji-hye, who had emptied the bowl cleanly, lay down again.

Han Soo-yeon looks at her like that with a bit of bewilderment.

“… Jihye, weren’t you sleeping until just now?”

“You must be very tired.”

Oh Hyun-seong shrugged his shoulders.

Seeing this happen twice, it seems like it has the side effect of making you fall asleep quickly.

It was probably a phenomenon that was intended to have a greater effect rather than a side effect.

“By the way, your sleeping habits are unusual.”

The appearance of Joo Ji-hye sleeping quietly with her hands clasped together.

I looked down at my arms out of curiosity, but they quickly rose again.

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud, thinking that he must be the most polite and respectful character in the world when he sleeps.

The next morning. Oh Hyun-seong and Han Su-yeon went for a run around the village.

Joo Ji-hye suddenly got up and ran out into the yard.

“Good morning, Jihye.”

“Want some porridge?”

“Senior, stop letting the kid sleep.”

Joo Ji-hye looked up at the clear sky, somewhat dumbfounded.

The sun had set when I opened my eyes earlier, but this time when I came to my senses, the sun had risen again.

But strangely, her body felt refreshed and she moved as if stretching without realizing it.

“Huh…? I’m all better now?”

Joo Ji-hye’s surprised words.

This time, it wasn’t some lame boast or lie like last time, it was real.

Not only does he move his body, he also stabs himself in the side and has no trouble expressing his magical power.

‘Even for a high-level Awakened, it wasn’t a light injury that could be easily shaken off… You’re saying that you’ll recover right away after eating a few porridges?’

Han Su-yeon, surprised, stared at Oh Hyeon-seong.

I could tell that was what he intended, because he didn’t seem surprised at all, unlike me.

He fed me strangely and put me to sleep, but it seemed like he used some special trick.

The problem was that even though it was a spirit crop, its effects were beyond common sense.

Recovery to this extent is impossible without using elixirs, consumable relics that boast enormous value.

No, even if it was an elixir, this kind of speed was impossible unless it was a top-quality product of Grade 1 or higher.

“hmm…”

However, Oh Hyeon-seong, who was staring intently at Joo Ji-hye, shook his head.

After checking her information directly, I found that her takki level was not completely reduced to the level before she was injured.

Even though he looks fine on the outside, there are still some unseen aftereffects of the injury.

“Eat one more time.”

Oh Hyeon-seong immediately brought the food.

This time, he fed her the porridge himself, using a spoon.

“Okay, wait… I just… didn’t want to go to sleep again…”

dump!

Joo Ji-hye, lying on her back, fell into a deep sleep.
