Farming Druid - Chapter 121



Only Noblemtl

121. Let’s start the meeting.

From the next morning.

Han-eum, Yun-gang, and Namu washed the pickled cabbage, drained the water, and then pickled it again and drained the water.

Yoon Kang, who was still half asleep, had his mouth sticking out.

“Even dawn diving doesn’t happen this early… What the heck is going on here? More importantly, why can’t that kid sleep in the early morning?”

“I came here and lost sleep over the dawn.”

“What kind of old lady are you?”

The tree chuckled at Yoon Kang’s words.

“At dawn, the new friends cry so beautifully. You heard it too.”

“Ah, I heard. I heard.”

Yun Kang remembered why he woke up at dawn.

He admitted that it was not the alarm clock but the birds’ chorus that woke him up.

Choaak- Choaak-

The cabbage leaves were piled up in one place, dripping water like disheveled hair.

“Is this the final rinse?”

“Uh— I should eat breakfast after I finish this.”

“Do you want to eat boiled pork at Ajeom?”

“That’s right―. You guys didn’t completely skip breakfast, did you?”

They nodded at the tree’s words.

After the first pickled cabbage bath was over, the tree brought out boiled nurungji.

The combination of warm nurungji and well-fermented kimchi was light and delicious.

After slurping down a bowl, I forgot that I had eaten because I was moving around.

“I’ll have to marinate the drained meat first. After you guys work hard, I’ll go boil the pork and steam the crab.”

Let the tree go to the old house.

The remaining two ended up laughing hysterically.

“Don’t you think we all do kimchi making?”

Han-eum shook her head at Yoon-kang’s words.

“No way. We were just sitting there while that guy was making the seasoning.”

“Yeah―. The seasoning is the most important. I’m hungry.”

“I agree with that―.”

The two people who hurried quickly finished the event called kimchi-making.

The tree also joined them, mixing the seasoning into the cabbage and finishing making 120 heads of kimchi.

“Oh, it’s hard though. I guess the taste of this is what makes kimchi.”

“When I was young, I would run away whenever my mom made kimchi. I really didn’t know I would do it when I grew up…”

“Hey—what if your wife asks you to help her make kimchi?”

“I’m going to ask you to buy pickled cabbage. It’s annoying.”

The tree chuckled at the conversation between Han-eum and Yun-gang.

“Considering that, the two of you were so passionate about it? Thanks to you, the kimchi tasted delicious.”

“Kimchi – it’s delicious. Thanks for giving me two containers.”

“Oh, I’m full. Thanks to you, I ate well.”

The two men patted their bellies.

Yoon Kang said, sticking out his thumb.

“The combination of real kimchi, oysters, and boiled pork is great―.”

“You learned cooking from Chef Kang Si-hoo, and your skills have improved?”

The tree shook its head at Haneum’s words.

“I just asked over the phone how to cook delicious boiled pork. I didn’t learn it myself.”

“But it was still delicious. [SeeYou] They don’t make kimchi there?”

“I thought you already did it? The guardian of a patient admitted to the hospital asked me to hold onto his trouser leg, so I was going to just do what I could at the restaurant, but I ended up doing a lot of it.”

“Chef Kang Si-hoo, you’ve worked hard too.”

The tree smiled awkwardly at Haneum’s words.

“Haha – That guy is a genius, so it seems like he can use magic to make everything taste good just by touching it.”

The tree thought as it drank the water from above.

Chef Kang Si-hoo’s cooking skills were good.

I cooked the food as instructed, but there was a subtle difference in taste.

After fully awakening as a Guardian.

I found out Chef Kang Si-hoo’s secret.

‘He is the one who lured the water spirit king into a contract with food, so of course the taste of his food is bound to be unimaginably delicious. I also want to try his kimchi… I wonder what it tastes like… .’

Clap clap –

“Come on—let’s clean up now and go play so we can get some sleep!”

At Yoon Kang’s words, Han Eum and Namu got up from their seats and quickly started cleaning up.

That makes sense, since we decided to have a barbecue on the yacht in the evening.

Niyang- Miyaang-

Oyaaaaang―

The five cat brothers approached the tree and looked at it with bright eyes.

“Do you guys want to go too?”

To the tree’s question, the five cat brothers sat side by side and nodded their heads in unison, answering, “Hmm.”

At that sight, Yoon Kang pointed his camera at him.

Haneum was looking at the cats with a flower crown, saying they were cute.

Yoon Kang was also very fascinated by the sight of a tree talking to cats.

‘Is Haneum really as he says― [Gangwon-do Druid]?

* * *

Yoon Kang and Han Eum team up and get in the car.

Abel and the five cat brothers got into the car with the tree.

The two vehicles stopped in the parking lot of the Dogyeonggye Pier.

Han-eum held Abel’s leash, and Yoon-kang lifted the cats’ cage.

After a short walk, we arrived on a yacht.

Woof woof – woof woof –

Abel barked excitedly at the sight of the sea.

The five cat brothers also looked at the blue water overflowing, their whiskers standing on end.

Meow- meow-

The cats climbed on either shoulder of the tree.

The remaining three climbed onto Han-eum and Yun-gang’s shoulders and meowed while looking at the rolling sea.

“Your cat doesn’t care about strangers?”

Yoon Kang was surprised.

The cat on top of the head is the youngest of the five cat brothers.

It was the season of the most active, mischievous, and timid calico male cat.

Niyang- Myungmaang-

Yoon Kang’s eyes widened as he meowed as if he was talking about something.

“How great would it be if our Rain was like this?”

Yun Kang muttered without realizing it.

“Don’t worry, guys, I’ll take care of it once we get up there—let’s come down now.”

The cats all got down from the tree and sat quietly on their friends’ shoulders.

Everyone was twitching their beards at the information they could feel about the ocean.

“Where shall we go, sir?”

Yoon Kang’s playful question.

Haneum looked up at the tree.

“Just a place where you can see the sea on all sides.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to go quite far?”

“Then― why don’t we go out just a little bit? The waves are calm.”

At the tree’s words, Yun Kang started the yacht and sailed forward through the water.

Meow―

Are you laughing?

Woof woof woof―

As the yacht moved, the cats and Abel cried out in excitement.

Haneum, who was watching that scene, opened her mouth with a smile.

“What would my little brother do if he woke up and saw that sight?”

“what?”

In response to the tree’s question, Han-eum imitated her younger brother’s actions and spoke.

“Brother—that can’t happen—cats, you know. They get stressed when they move like that. Maybe those cats are just so innocent?”

“…Is that so?”

“Uh-. When your little brother wakes up, your cats might come down because they’re curious.”

“My kids are a bit tough.”

“Ah―. I’m not asking you to look after my little brother.”

The tree, who thought it was a request to look after his younger brother, read his mind.

I was a little surprised.

The tree ended up laughing at Haneum’s additional words.

Because words that match what’s in your mind have already been spoken.

‘I would appreciate it if you could look after my little brother, but it’s okay if you don’t. He’ll wake up when it’s time to wake up…’

My friend thought that this trip to Seoul would be a bit hectic.

* * *

A few days after my friends left.

The tree felt the chilly morning temperature and lifted the mug to smell the fragrance.

The aroma of coffee made me feel good.

‘Peace… Oh no, don’t think about it… It’ll just cause trouble.’

Hurp-

He shook his head as if he hadn’t thought about it and took a sip of the coffee in his mug.

Pirorot―

A bird, playing the role of a postman circling around the area, was seen flying towards Abel.

At first, it was a very interesting tree that allowed birds to know the movements of the forest and inform Abel.

‘The animals seem to be quite organized. If we were to compare them to humans, Abel would be like the [autonomous district head] of this forest?’

Namu, who was enjoying a cup of coffee while feeling the chilly morning temperature, came out of the room carrying a bag.

Because I had somewhere to go for a few days.

“Abel-.”

Keuuung―(Okay― let’s go.)

Abel quickly ran over and sat down in front of the tree, meeting its gaze.

The sitting height was the same as the standing height of the tree.

“Abel—have you grown up again?”

Kwung―(yes―.)

“…Is that so?”

Woof – Where are you going?

“I’m going to be away from home for a few days. I think my grandmother will be here tomorrow… . Take good care of the house. I’ll tell our cat-sitters. Okay?”

Woof woof

After hearing Abel’s answer, the tree got into the car parked in front of the gate and headed to Seoul.

Abel’s large body disappeared from the rearview mirror.

The tree sped towards Seoul.

* * *

A woman with short hair loitering in front of the L broadcasting station.

It was PD Hong Seon-ah.

When she saw Hannamu getting out of the car, she approached him and waved happily.

The tree also looked at her and bowed slightly in greeting.

“Are you feeling better?”

“Yes. Thanks to your concern, I’m fine now. How have you been?”

“No―. I couldn’t. Mr. Namu said he would appear, but he backed out, and things got really messed up.”

“sorry.”

“It’s okay. I was so shocked when I heard that you were hospitalized after suddenly falling into a coma and vomiting. I thought I should go and see you, but I’m sorry I couldn’t.”

The tree smiled at her words.

It was true because the voice in my heart was saying the same thing.

“Still, I’m glad you decided to participate. But the person who applied is your friend?”

Hong Seon-ah and Namoo were walking together to the Animal Land conference room inside the broadcasting station, chatting about this and that.

“PD Hong―”

A pleasant low-pitched voice reached the tree’s ears.

“Ah, this voice actor.”

The tree was secretly surprised by Hong Seon-ah’s words.

‘That’s the kind of voice you need to have to be a voice actor. Where have I heard it before? Ah! You’re the person who dubbed the hearts of cats and dogs on the Animal Land broadcast.’

I briefly watched the conversation between this so-called voice actor and Hong Seon-ah PD.

“Ah – this is ‘Gangwon-do Druid’ Hannamu, and this is our Animal Land signboard voice actor.”

“My name is Lee Kang-yeol.”

Lee Kang-yeol is the first to extend his hand and greet people with a pleasant voice.

The tree also opened its mouth and took his hand.

“It’s just one.”

“Oh? You have a nice voice.”

The tips of the tree’s ears blushed slightly at the voice actor’s praise.

Lee Kang-yeol listened to the tree’s voice and thought it was a really good voice.

And he handed me a business card and said,

“If you’re interested in becoming a voice actor, please contact me.”

“yes?”

As the tree’s eyes grew round.

Lee Kang-yeol opened his mouth with a smile.

“It’s because your voice is so good. Is it a voice that’s too good to just let rot?”

Hong Seon-ah, who had been watching the conversation between the two, coughed in vain and turned their attention away.

“The meeting time is almost over, so this voice actor should also go.”

“Ah—already?”

“Yes, already.”

Lee Kang-yeol laughed at Hong Seon-ah’s teasing.

‘The atmosphere is good… .’

It was the tree’s thoughts as it watched the sight.

Let’s go into the conference room.

I saw a familiar face.

She waved her hand in greeting, pretending to know me.

PD Hong Seon-ah opened her mouth and clapped her hands.

Crack-

“Okay, let’s start today’s meeting.”
