Farming Druid - Chapter 112



Only Noblemtl

112. You can make more money?

People meeting people.

Isn’t it called fate?

After seeing Yoon Kang standing in front of me.

It was a tree that gave off a strange feeling.

‘Where have I seen it?’

Even as they greeted each other, the tree’s mind was searching.

The tree smiled at the result.

“By any chance… … you mean.”

I waited for Instructor Yoon Kang to speak.

“Didn’t you graduate from Gangji High School?”

The tree nodded inwardly at Yun Kang’s words.

That’s right.

How often do you find that the instructor assigned to you at a scuba diving course is a high school classmate of yours?

After graduating from high school.

Classmates who each went their separate ways to live their own lives.

There were kids who gathered for reunions and other gatherings, but Namu couldn’t get along with them.

The tree said with an awkward smile.

“That’s right… … I vaguely remember, but I think Mr. Yoon was close with Mr. Joo Han-eum… … .”

“Huh? Haneum… Ah! Ahh―. Hanamu! I was close with Haneum.”

The tree simply nodded at Yun Kang’s words.

“Hey—it’s been a while.”

Yun Kang extended his hand as if he was happy to see me.

“…I know.”

Yun Kang to the tree that took his outstretched hand.

“First of all. Do you have time this evening?”

“No. There are quite a few guys waiting for me at home.”

“The guy who’s waiting…?”

“Uh―. Dogs and cats.”

“Ahhh― That won’t do―. Haneum called me last night and we were going to have a drink together.”

“Let’s do it next time.”

“Okay. Well, since you came here to take a class, please come this way.”

Namu, hearing the expression and tone of voice that showed Yoon Kang was in work mode, couldn’t help but chuckle.

* * *

Yoon Kang’s class was fun.

The appearance of the friend conducting the theory class looked quite professional.

It’s the first time I’ve seen such a professional appearance since Haneum.

Yoon Kang throughout the theory class.

With a smile, he explained the names of the equipment he was using and how to use it.

Crack-

“Okay, that’s it for the theory lesson. Now, shall we go into the water?”

Even during practical classes, he really put all his effort into helping students understand well.

‘That’s amazing… … .’

It was my honest feeling.

The purpose of learning skin scuba diving was to plant seeds of purification in the South and West Seas.

‘If the marine ecosystem becomes stable, the habitat of our sea friends will also become more stable… … .’

Knock knock—

The tree was lost in thought in the water.

The instructor clapped his forearm and signaled with his thumb to go up.

Chot-

Let’s take off the respirator.

The instructor, Yoon Kang, had a fierce expression.

“Mr. Hannamu. Are you out of your mind? What if you lose your mind in the water? If you make one wrong move, you’ll have an accident. Do you understand?”

“…yes.”

There was nothing wrong with his words falling into ‘Tanaka’.

Because even a small carelessness in the water can lead to a big accident.

Following Yun Kang’s instructions, the tree went back into the water.

The feeling in the water was warm.

According to Yoon Kang’s instructions.

The tree learned many things, including how to hover in water.

Time passed very quickly.

Phew―

Let’s go out and change clothes in the locker room.

Yoon Kang was approaching with his signature smile.

“great job.”

“What? You used to say ‘Danaka’ a lot during class.”

“There’s nothing we can do. If we do something wrong, people will die. Go out to sea. An accident will happen in an instant.”

“…That’s true.”

“You worked hard today. Get some rest and I’ll see you tomorrow or the day after. I heard you signed up for freediving too?”

“Oh. I think it would be good to learn it together with scuba diving.”

“Right. But. How did you come up with the idea to learn this?”

In response to Kang-i’s question, the tree thought for a moment with its lips straight.

“I mean, it seems like humans are throwing too much trash into the ocean.”

“Huh? So, are you also learning to collect ocean debris?”

The tree was secretly surprised by Kang-i’s words.

I think I’ve finally figured out one of the reasons why people learn scuba diving.

“Huh? Well… you could say that.”

“Then, after you get your scuba certification, would you like to join our marine volunteer club?”

“uh?”

“When you come in, everyone in our club will welcome you.”

“…why?”

“If we don’t have enough people… … .”

Yun Kang looks at the trash he collects every time he goes into the sea.

I was annoyed with people and I vented my frustrations.

In addition, if you look at the trash floating on the waves, you can see marine life wrapping themselves in the trash.

They say that even if you want to let them go, they are very cautious and tend to run away.

“Oh my― people really… … I’m human, but if you go into the ocean too, you might really get angry and die.”

“… You’ve had a hard time too.”

The tree sincerely comforted his classmate.

The trees began to think positively of him when they heard that he was doing even a little bit to help the marine ecosystem.

“First, I’ll get a license and then think about it.”

“No, buddy. You have to come to our club. If you come, I will treat you really, really, really well.”

Sigh-

He opened his mouth and smiled faintly at the clinging river.

“Ha-neum also learned this?”

“Huh? Are you trying to drag Haneum in too?”

“Um… … Well, first, talk to Han-eum. Don’t tell her that I’m taking classes here.”

“Huh? Oh― I see.”

“Then let’s go.”

The tree got into the car, leaving Yun Kang behind.

“While I’ve come this far, I should at least see the manager.”

The tree holding the cell phone called the manager at his old workplace.

Thump-

-hello?

“Manager – I have one.”

* * *

Let’s come home after finishing work in Seoul.

It was getting dark.

Woof woof – woof woof – bang bang –

As soon as they entered the house, the tree knew that there were guests because of Abel’s barking.

“Where is the guest?”

At the tree’s question, Abel first walked briskly toward the field.

Let’s go to the field.

A large black bear was sitting and leaning against the outdoor bath that Cat and Abel were using.

“Are you comfortable?”

The tree folded its arms and spoke as it looked at the bear.

Kuwang- (Guardian.)

“What happened without even contacting me? You came all the way down here.”

“That’s it. I heard that the people from the North wanted to come down.”

“You want to come down? Towards the border?”

The black bear’s large head nodded.

“Why all of a sudden?”

“The humans in the North… … have nothing to eat, so they are roaming the mountains, catching animals, and sending messages… … .”

Phew―.

“… … .”

The northern animal friends were also thinking about trees.

“Tell them to come down little by little after they sleep for ten nights.”

Kuwaang―

The black bear woke up in the hot spring and raised his hands happily.

Water splashed everywhere.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the black bear as his clothes got wet.

“Are you happy? You splashed all that water?”

The black bear sensed the change in the tree’s momentum and immediately lowered its head.

“I’m sorry… … I’m sorry.”

“No―. Come down to me early tomorrow morning. I have something to do.”

“…yes?”

“There is no such thing as a free lunch. The cats that live here also pay for their food.”

The black bear was a little taken aback by the guardian’s firm tone.

‘Originally… weren’t the guardians of nature the ones who took care of us?’

The black bear wiggled his fingers and made eye contact with the tree.

“The guardian of nature is someone who protects plants and animals and works for them. The human species I belong to doesn’t have anything for free. There’s a saying that goes, ‘If you don’t work, you don’t eat.’ So go home today and rest and come down early tomorrow morning. You can bring your friends.”

“…yes.”

“Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow morning. Go in and rest.”

He issued a warning to the black bear.

The bear greeted the tree with its big head.

I quickly walked into the forest.

Woof-woof-woof (What happened?)

Abel approached and asked, carefully observing the tree.

The tree looked at the place where the bear had disappeared.

He spoke while looking around the fields and rice paddies.

“No, there isn’t. It’s just… … The house cat, my five brothers, and our boar friends all come down here and farm what they eat. We can’t just leave the bears to play, right?”

Abel nodded to the tree’s words.

If I just sit back and do nothing while everyone else is working, what will the people working think?

Clearly, complaints are pouring in.

The tree thought that if it was like that in the human world, it couldn’t be the same in the animal world.

Phew―

The tree looked up at the sky, sweeping its bangs up.

The plan was set and was being executed.

When you become a guardian.

Among the many tasks that came into my head.

One was the restoration of the marine ecosystem.

Phew―

The tree that had been thinking sighed and muttered.

“Breeding of mammals on the verge of extinction This is really… … What should we do… … .”

Mammalia is literally mammals.

Humans are also mammals, primates, members of the Homo genus, and species.

Among those belonging to the mammal class.

The tree knew the list of endangered marine animals.

‘According to what Geo told me… … starting with beluga whales, narwhals, blue whales, coral sharks, basking sharks, green sea turtles, and finless porpoises… … This is difficult―. Difficult.’

Let’s even think about reducing the population through earthquakes or tsunamis and increasing the number of individuals in nature.

I ended up laughing out loud.

“I’m also human… … and I’m going to reduce the human population… … The very idea is to think of nature first… … .”

Woof woof (Hyung-ah. Take a rest.)

Abel barked lightly next to me.

“I guess I should do that.”

Namoo, who had entered the main building, was making a late dinner with the TV on.

[This is news from overseas. In Hokkaido, there is news that brown bears preparing for hibernation are coming down to houses to find food, causing citizens to feel anxious.]

[This is Hokkaido. As you can see, there are traces of a brown bear attacking a house.

“Bear? I see you often.”

“I encounter bears at least three or four times a month. The people who live near the mountain have already moved to other places.”

“I can’t live with this anxiety. Please get rid of the bear. Please!”

In this way, residents are submitting petitions to the government requesting control of the bear population… … .]

Well well –

Hurp-

While listening to the news, Namoo drank a bowl of tofu and soybean paste stew.

“Hmm—it’s delicious. I should try making some kimchi in February next year.”

Jiing— Jiiing—

The tree checked its cell phone and chuckled.

“Uh— why?”

-Are you interested in learning skin scuba?

“uh?”

The tree seemed to know why Haneum had called.

Yoon Kang, who was told not to talk, really didn’t talk.

However, I think he recommended Han-eum to learn skin scuba diving.

“Why? If I tell you to learn, will you learn?”

-Huh? Oh. I want to ride a dolphin like you too.

“Really? If you learn, I’ll learn too.”

-Ah… … Uh- Damn… … .

I enjoyed Haneum’s reaction, giggling inwardly.

Haneum, who had been mumbling to herself for a moment, seemed to have made up her mind about something.

-Hannamu. Let’s learn skin scuba diving together. Let’s go learn skin scuba diving tomorrow or the day after.

“Okay. I’ll go up.”

-Huh? What?

“I’m going up. See you then.”

―… Something is strange? If it’s a tree I know, it bounces once?

“By the way, what happened to the gold coin that was one of the underwater treasures that came out last time?”

―Oh, I forgot to tell you that. That’s what I mean… … .

A small box brought by sea friends.

The tree handed over the gold coins and jewels inside to Haneum.

Then, it is said that Haneum tried to sell gold coins and jewels to a jeweler who sold pearls.

After the jeweler appraised it.

The tree, listening to Haneum’s story, opened its mouth.

“You can make more money by auctioning it off?”
