Farming Druid - Chapter 137



Only Noblemtl

137. Passed by.

Abel stuck out his tongue as he watched what was happening before his eyes.

Churp—

It was also interesting to know that my grandmother and that giant cat knew.

The giant cat held its own head with its front paws and groaned for a long time.

‘Why are you like that?’

at that time.

A cat that turns its head sharply.

“You’re a guardian dog?”

“Well, what about that?”

“Then what about the Black Death?”

When Abel’s head tilted slightly.

Took-

A tiny snake fell on Abel’s head.

“Why am I looking for you? A big cat.”

Shuriririk―

Abel realized that the small creature above his head was a snake.

“Why are you looking for me? I’m a tiger from Mt. Baekdu.”

A voice that is both noisy and irritating.

The tiger’s eyes narrowed when it saw the python.

“What does that look like?”

“What do I look like?”

“As expected of a black person….”

Shiriririt―

At the sight of the giant black snake, Suho took a step back and lowered his posture.

“What do you think of my appearance? Will this tiger come to his senses after being squeezed for a while? Will he taste my prey after so many decades?”

The tiger’s tail wagged.

The tiger, whose competitive spirit was aroused, shouted as he saw the snake’s true form.

“Let’s have a go at it after a long time!”

Kwaaaaang―

The snake glanced at Abel and winked.

Abel, who received that gaze, just blinked and turned away.

* * *

Haneum and Namoo were planning their future in the living room.

“So you’re saying you’re going to create a sanctuary for animals?”

“Yes. However, there is a condition that the property must be purchased in the Gangwon-do region, the mountain behind my house, or near the mountain range of the provincial border.”

At the tree’s words, Han-eum crossed her arms and tapped her forearm with her index finger, lost in thought.

“It’s a good idea, but… Even if you make it into a sanctuary, wouldn’t it still need some maintenance?”

“You’re here.”

Han-eum’s expression became absurd at her friend’s words.

“Hey—I’m not a vet, so I wouldn’t know if my little brother woke up.”

“I thought you studied animals too?”

“That, that’s it… .”

Sigh-

The tree laughed at Haneum’s reaction.

“If I do it, will you help me?”

“Huh? Well… As long as it doesn’t interfere with your work.”

The tree took out a pen and a diary and started writing down various things.

Haneum, who was watching the scene, was staring blankly at it.

Woof woof – krrrrr –

Haneum saw the expression on the tree he was writing on distorted.

“what’s the matter?”

At Haneum’s question, the tree opened its mouth and looked at Abel, who was standing in the yard wagging his tail.

“A divine being has descended. I heard that some friends have seen a divine being… . It has descended all the way here.”

Haneum seems to have heard some strange word.

“Poem… . Shinsoo?”

The tree, seeing Han-eum’s bewildered expression, smiled and continued speaking.

“Well―. Tigers, bears, snakes, and other animals. I’ve never seen them, but I heard about them when I became a guardian.”

A tree roughly dressed.

After touching Haneum’s shoulder.

I headed to the yard.

“I’m going out, so watch the house.”

“… … .”

After seeing my friend’s expression change.

Climbed on Abel’s back.

“Let’s go—Abel.”

Woof-

* * *

Tukwaaang―

A snake and a tiger controlling their strength to prevent the trees in the forest from falling.

They fought, entangled and rolling on the ground, until the tree they hit fell down with a loud crash.

Kwajiik- Kwaaang-

When a huge tree fell.

The snake’s eyes narrowed.

“You’re in big trouble now.”

The snake whispered as it wrapped itself around the tiger’s body.

“What the heck?”

“The Guardian is coming.”

Kwaaaaang―

The tiger didn’t even listen.

Released the snake’s attack.

at that time.

“I wish the fighting would stop.”

The scent of the thick forest surrounding the two spirits, along with a low yet pleasant voice, brushed Suho’s nose.

Krrrr?

Suho turned his head towards the standing man.

?!―

[Hmm―. Are you the new ‘Guardian of Nature’?]

At the tiger’s words, the tree took a step closer.

“maybe?”

The tree answered the tiger’s question by tilting its head.

As soon as the tree’s voice is heard.

The python had shrunk to its enormous size and was now hovering over Abel’s head.

“When did you come?”

“A little while ago.”

“Then you must have seen me?”

“maybe?”

The snake felt a sense of defeat at Abel’s words.

Elementary school days.

He was a guardian with severe snake trauma after being surprised.

But have you seen your own giant form?

PTSD is something that comes and goes.

The snake glanced at the tree that was growing.

The expression of a tree talking to a tiger.

It looked better than before.

“So that’s why you came here?”

Nod—

[The world has changed a lot. Your grandmother said she would make me the guardian tiger of Korea… . So you’re saying that I went over to this world just like my name?]

It was a little absurd.

A tiger that makes puns in the name of his grandmother.

When I listened to the story of the giant tiger in front of me.

I couldn’t believe it at first.

He said that several centuries had passed since he was born.

‘So you said you experienced the division of heaven and earth… How old are you?’

Did you know what the tree was thinking?

The tiger’s eyes formed a crescent moon.

[Are you curious about the age? Guardian?]

“You must have had enough. I knew about the existence of spirits and divine beasts when I inherited my guardian status, but I never thought I would see them in person.”

[Is that so? When I came here, there was no sign of the friends I lived with. The only ones who were there…]

Shudder―

The tiger guardian cautiously turned his gaze to the murderous aura he felt somewhere.

A small snake was seen.

A gaze from narrowed eyes.

-If you don’t want to be left behind, just shut up.

Krrrr—

Suho nodded slightly as if he understood.

“so-.”

At the voice of the tree, Suho looked down at the small young man in front of him again.

[So… how about I stay here for a few days?]

At Suho’s words, Abel, the tree, and the snake all looked troubled.

“Well, you know. There are hardly any tigers in Korea. The ones in the zoo are probably all the same… If they stay here and are seen by people, they’ll be caught right away.”

[That’s no problem. Ah, okay.]

Huh?

The tree felt dizzy at what was happening before its eyes.

“… … .”

A small tiger-striped cat was sitting pretty on the floor, looking up.

Because it was a tree that had become weak to feline animals.

He sighed and lifted the tiger-striped cat sitting in front of him by the scruff of its neck.

[That- Ah-ha-ya. My neck is a bit… .]

“You fought our snake, so you can accept this much.”

The tree supports the tiger’s buttocks and changes its posture.

The tiger’s neck also began to purr, as if it was in a good mood.

‘Tigers are also felines… so they can make sounds like this… .’

It was a somewhat unusual and thrilling experience.

“By the way, who felled that tree?”

The tree’s question as it looked back and forth between the tiger it was holding in its arms and the snake on Abel’s head.

One mammal and one reptile turned their heads in different directions.

The fallen tree seemed like it would have to be cleared away tomorrow.

“Abel—let’s go.”

The tree tries to climb onto Abel’s back again.

[Should I give you a ride? Guardian?]

“No―. If you go down to tiger form, my friend will be surprised. Just stay in cat form.”

After lightly rejecting Suho’s words.

He climbed on Abel’s back and went down to the house.

The tree that fell in the yard whispered to Haneum, who was playing with the cats in the living room.

“That guy lives in the annex, so if he gets caught and says he’s a tiger… you know that, right?”

The tree kept warning and cautioning the cat (feat. tiger) in its arms while coming down.

[My ears are ringing…]

Holding a sullen cat.

Let’s open the glass door connected to the porch and go in.

Haneum asked with a surprised expression.

“What is that cat? Its patterns look just like a tiger.”

“Huh? I picked it up here.”

Krrrrrr?

At the tree’s words, the tiger in the form of a cat and Han-eum’s expression changed absurdly.

“There’s a cat this small wandering around the mountain?”

“Well, that’s what it was.”

The tree looked at the cat guardian with a puzzled look.

Whoosh―

With his head turned away.

He started licking his front paws and then started washing his face.

“Ah. After you went up the mountain, your cell phone rang for a long time.”

“uh?”

After Haneum’s words, I checked the cell phone that I had left on the table.

[Wild Animal Rescue Center]

There was a missed call.

Let’s make a phone call right now.

The opponent received it right away.

-Mr. Tree?

“Yes. I’m contacting you because your absence was recorded as missed…”

-Oh, it’s nothing else. Would lunchtime tomorrow be a good time for you? There’s something I’d like to talk to you about.

“Tomorrow? Just a moment.”

I opened my diary and looked at tomorrow’s schedule.

“Nothing special. Then, can I go to the center tomorrow?”

―I would appreciate it if you could come. And I think your friends here would like it if you did come.

“Okay. Well then—see you tomorrow.”

Namu, who had hung up the phone, looked at Suho, who was playing with Haneum’s hands.

“I think I’ll have to leave the house by lunchtime.”

“Huh? Uh— I have a doctor’s appointment too.”

Hmph, hmph—

“But its cry sounds just like a tiger.”

At Haneum’s words, he looked at Suho, the tiger-striped cat rolling around on the living room floor, and snickered.

“… Well, cats are a similar species to tigers, so maybe that’s how it sounds?”

“Is that so?”

Haneum carefully stroked the tiger-striped cat’s back.

“But, this guy is so docile for a wild cat?”

“… … .”

The tree did not speak in Haneum’s words.

I was curious to see how he would react if he found out his identity.

But not today.

“I’ll go wash up first.”

The tree said as it went out into the yard, wearing a towel around its neck.

“Huh? Are you going to the hot springs?”

“Oh. I got some fresh mountain air and now I feel a chill.”

“Go wash up. I’m going to play with this guy some more.”

“uh-.”

As you walk towards the open-air bath.

I felt soft hairs brushing against my ankles.

Nyaang―

Let’s look at the cats.

The tree felt a little sorry.

“Hey guys. A tiger has come to our house… Do you want to stay at the house for a few days?”

The cats seemed to understand what the tree was saying.

He nodded.

– Instead, I don’t want to take a bath today.

-I don’t want to do it either.

Cats’ demands.

The tree had no choice but to give in.

What can I do?

Shinsoo said he’ll be gone in a few days.

“Okay. The guests will be gone in two days, so wash up and come back to your room then.”

The cats wiggled their butts at the tree’s words.

The five cat brothers didn’t know.

The fact that house cats have already become habitual.

The eyes of the cats that followed the tree to the open-air hot spring wavered.

Oh-meow-

Huh?

The house cats were sitting in the animal hot spring with only their heads sticking out.

“You guys―. Are you going to go to the hot springs every day now?”

When the voice of the tree is heard.

The cats nodded in unison.

Puengchi-

Namu nodded and went into the changing room, listening to the sneezing sound of the cat that had drunk water.

“He said he’d be gone in two days… Why on earth is he calling from the rescue center tomorrow?”

This was a tree that had done a lot of work in collaboration with the rescue center during the summer and fall.

Police station―

Let’s soak in hot water.

It felt like the day’s fatigue was gone.

It would have been a more perfect ending to the day if it weren’t for the Baekdu Mountain tiger at the end.

Let’s lean our heads against each other.

A cool breeze blew past the tree’s crown.

[[Author’s Note]]

This is Gaonharu.

I’m sorry. I have nothing to say, even if I had ten words in my mouth.

I lived blind for a while.

I opened my eyes half-asleep and tried to work on my writing.

My eyes hurt so much that I put the series aside for a while.

I apologize to my readers for the inconvenience caused by the pain in their fingers and eyes.

and,

I saw a comment complaining about why I didn’t do a serial for a while.

In the case of XX Oh, it seems that the opening is delayed due to the review item. I hope that the readers of XX Oh, if it hasn’t come up yet, search for Dal-dong-nae or Cho-rok-chang.

I will pay more attention to the health of my eyes and fingers. Thank you, readers, for waiting.

I will continue to serialize faithfully in the future.

Sorry and thank you.
