Farming Druid - Chapter 69



Only Noblemtl

069. What about that woman just now?

The tree was stroking the back of the yellow mackerel cat in its arms.

ha-

As he recalled what had happened earlier, his hand continued to stroke the cat’s back.

After placing the first one.

Namu left the room, leaving the cat behind, which was licking him diligently, and tried to change his clothes.

When you try to change your clothes because of the smell of cat blood and secretions.

A cat’s scream was heard.

“Why? What’s going on?”

When the tree asked.

The mother cat asked a favor.

“what?”

The tree that is granting that request.

Now, put a diaper in the middle of the legs.

I was helping a cat give birth.

The pose was very unique.

It was as if people were embracing each other, with their hind legs attached to the ground and their forelegs hugging their necks.

Kyaaang―

My ears felt ringing as the cat’s scream came sharply next to my ears.

How severe is the pain.

The mother cat kept trying to stick her claws out, but she screamed and put strength into her paws so as not to harm herself who was holding her.

Gyaaaaang― Eww―

After placing the first one.

I was thinking about giving my second child, ‘Meow’, a name when she is born.

“Are you tired? Cheer up… Meow.”

The cat in my arms was leaning against the tree with its hind legs firmly in place, hugging its neck.

Ugh―.

After groaning.

A second cat came out.

A cat appears, wrapped in an opaque curtain.

The cat that fell from the tree’s body looked exhausted.

Nyaaaa―(Thank you……)

The mother cat, who had tried hard to say hello, collapsed on the floor as if she was exhausted.

Still, he started licking hard and eating the placenta for the second child.

“Meow―. I’ll wash up and change some clothes and be back soon.”

The tree quickly left the room.

In a jiffy―

The tree that went into the bathroom turned on the shower water.

When the warm water came out, I washed my body.

Swaaaaaaahh …

When the water stream hits your body.

I felt something pounding inside my heart.

Ugh―

Suddenly tears burst out.

The birth of new life.

That sight was a very special and sublime experience.

Watching the birth of a new life from the sidelines.

Watching its birth, the tree realized how difficult it was for its parents to give birth to it.

And it seemed to me that you had sacrificed yourself for me.

After a quick shower.

After changing into some suitable tracksuits, I went into the place where Yaongyi was giving birth.

Meow (They’re pretty. They’re my babies.)

The cat showed me her baby, suckling on her chest.

“You’re pretty… … You worked hard, Meow.”

The look on the cat’s face as she looked at her kittens was like that of the Virgin Mary.

Every single action, from looking at the baby to licking it, seemed to be full of life.

“Thank you for your hard work. I’ll make you a delicious dinner, so get some rest.”

Meow―(Yes―.)

After hearing Meow’s answer, the tree took out the dried pollack that had been stored in the freezer.

Then I took out the seaweed that was in the upper part and soaked it in water.

I washed the soaked seaweed in water several times to remove the saltiness.

Click – tata tata tat –

Hwaruruk―

Place the pot on the gas stove and let it heat up to some extent.

I added dried pollack and stir-fried it.

After blowing off the fluff and lightly frying.

Pour water.

A little later.

As it boils, a white broth comes out.

I added the soaked seaweed and boiled it in the broth.

Cat’s Birth The seaweed soup with dried pollack was cooked quickly because it didn’t require any seasoning.

Hurp-

I had a taste of it.

As expected, it was refreshing and had the natural taste of the ingredients.

Left and right—

After taking the ice out of the freezer, put it in.

I put the freshly boiled soup in a bowl and placed it on top of ice.

Because I thought I had to cool it down quickly and eat it.

A little later.

When the temperature is right for the cat to eat.

The tree entered the room carrying a bowl of dried pollack and seaweed soup.

Kittens clinging closely to their mother and sucking her milk.

The mother cat had her eyes closed, perhaps because she was tired.

“Eat this and gain strength.”

As I put down the treat, the cat raised its head and asked.

Nyaa? (What is it?)

Sniff sniff—

The mother cat, who had been sniffing around for a while, quickly began eating the dried pollack and seaweed in the bowl.

The dry food inside was puffed up enough to make it edible.

Swish swish swish—

“Eat slowly, and I’ll have to buy you a toilet and a cage to keep the babies from escaping. Rest.”

I patted the head of the cat that was absentmindedly inhaling food and went outside.

Abel was standing in the yard, looking into the house.

“what’s the matter?”

Ugh― (That’s―.)

I see Abel hesitating.

It seemed as if the owner of the top of the beautiful tree had arrived.

As I thought about its large, black, thick, scaly appearance, my whole body began to itch.

‘No… … Let’s calm down. If we want to go to Seoul tomorrow, we’ll have to get it from a snake.’

The tree took a deep breath and looked at Abel and asked.

“Where is it?”

Shririk―(I’m here―.)

A small, black, earthworm-like thing poked its face out of Abel’s head.

“?!”

Shurit-(shortened)

Is that the giant snake?

But before that, was there ever a life form that could shrink its own body at will?

Is it because your body has shrunk?

The hoarse voice disappeared and it was easy to listen.

“Uh… … Is that the snake that lives on top of that tree?”

Shiririt- shiriririk- (If you don’t believe me, shall I show you?)

“No— no. No. It’s okay. You don’t have to show me.”

Shiririk-(But why?)

The tree opened its mouth as it looked at the tiny black earthworm.

“That―. My grandmother said that when she came up to Seoul where I am, there was something that animals couldn’t notice. Do you have it by any chance?”

Shurit? (Oh, that sword?)

The snake that turned into an earthworm wanted to play a prank.

But the guardian before your eyes.

It was difficult for him to even look at himself, who had turned into a really small earthworm.

‘Egg- I wasn’t saying it was cute back then… … I really hated it.’

“Go, do you have it?”

Shiririt― (That sword―, just a moment. Wait.)

A snake (feat. earthworm) jumped onto the tree above Abel’s head.

The tree was sweating in the slightly hot weather.

When a cool breeze cools the sweat.

The snake called Abel.

I heard a hoarse voice, as if he had grown in size.

Tae-Ang- Tang-Greung-

Something fell from the crown of the beautiful oak tree.

Abel bit it with his beak and dropped it on the palm of the tree.

‘ring?’

Suddenly, I heard Legiosa’s voice in my head.

―You can walk around without any problems if you wear that ring. Also, if you want to communicate with animals, just turn the ring.

‘Uh—thank you.’

Legiosa said what he wanted to say and then stopped.

The tree looked closely at the ring it had received.

The material was extremely light.

The design had two rings overlapping each other, almost like a Möbius strip.

The tree wore a ring on its right ring finger.

And when I held the ring and turned it, it felt like something was catching and making a clicking sound.

Woof woof—woof woof woof—

Abel’s voice was not heard.

‘Ah, so that’s what it was like.’

Click—

Let’s turn the ring again.

Abel’s voice was heard.

‘If it’s like this… … I think it’ll be okay to go up tomorrow… … .’

* * *

The next morning.

Namoo, who entered the Gyeongbu Expressway, stopped the car for a moment at a rest stop and sent a text message.

[Where are you? I have arrived at the rest stop.]

When the tree sends a text and leans back in its chair for a moment to catch its breath.

dripping-

There was a knock on the driver’s window.

A middle-aged man appeared, smiling happily.

It was producer Choi Gyu-seop.

The tree that got out of the car greeted him.

“How have you been?”

“Thanks to Mr. Tree, I’ve been busy.”

After doing a simple icebreaker, Choi Gyu-seop.

After getting into the passenger seat.

I summarized and told you everything that had happened so far.

“So you’re saying that zookeeper Jang Min-jeong admitted her guilt and sent documents detailing the circumstances under which she abused the killer whale?”

“That’s correct.”

I don’t know much about the change in heart of zookeeper Jang Min-jeong, but it was certain that he did it.

The love for animals is true.

The tree started again and moved to Seoul.

.

.

Next to the building known as Jamsil’s landmark.

A 15-story building welcomed the two.

It was the Dong-A Land building.

As the two entered the lobby.

Namu quickly read the large signboard at the front that described Dong-A Land’s growth process.

‘A company that grew through importing special animals, importing feed, and selling them?’

Choi Gyu-seop tapped the tree’s arm.

When I turned my head, his index finger was pointing somewhere.

There, stuffed animals of special pets were displayed in a glass case on one side.

Keuk-

The moment I saw the stuffed animal.

I felt like I was being consumed by an indescribable energy.

Ssuk-

The ring came back on its own.

The moment the wooden hand touched the ring to turn it back, the sound startled him.

-These people hurt me. It’s unfair. I hate humans.

-Why do I have to be here like this?

-I wanted to live!

It was as if I was hearing words in my head, as if Giores was talking to myself.

Stubborn—stubborn—.

Because of the headache, the tree quickly touched and turned the ring.

It felt like the world had become quiet.

“are you okay?”

The tree that had been resting its head on his hand because of a headache turned its head.

Choi Gyu-seop was seen looking at me with a worried expression.

“Ah. I have a really bad headache for a moment.”

“It really hurts when you get a headache. Are you okay now?”

“yes-.”

While Choi Gyu-seop walked towards the lobby guidance and talked to the staff.

The tree looked at the stuffed display case.

“… … .”

Crunch, crunch, crunch

The tree is looking at the glass display case.

Someone came and stood next to me and opened his mouth.

“Isn’t it pretty? When it’s at its prettiest, how pretty it looks when it’s stuffed like that… … .”

“yes?”

The tree couldn’t believe what it had just heard.

“What… did you say?”

“Oh my—didn’t you hear? When they were at their most beautiful and shining, that moment was captured forever by human hands. So pretty.”

It seems like the woman is seeing something that is so, so pretty.

He was speaking while holding both hands.

After that.

He looked at himself and opened his mouth.

“Really―. Your appearance doesn’t seem like something from this world. You’re so pretty. If you weren’t human, I’d catch you and stuff you into a stuffed animal so I could admire you every day.”

At the woman’s words, the tree took a step back.

‘You’re such a bitch… … .’

Although the tree was proud of having dealt with all sorts of truths, the woman in front of him was on a different level from those truths.

“Um―. But, you. Are you someone I’ve never seen before?”

She smiled as she spoke, tucking her long black hair behind her ear.

It was a smile that looked sinister to the tree’s eyes.

“Ah, I see. So you’re the one who saved the keeper at our Dong-A Land killer whale show?”

“… … .”

The tree took another step back without saying a word.

The woman’s brow furrowed at the sight.

“What is it? Why are you stepping back? It’s annoying.”

As Choi Gyu-seop approached.

She opened her mouth as if she had seen some kind of bug.

“I was happy to see a pretty boy, but then a bug came. I guess I should go.”

The woman, speaking so that only the trees could hear, slipped out of the lobby.

‘This is a crazy X of a different class… … .’

It was the tree’s thoughts as it saw the woman.

When I was blankly looking at her back.

Choi Gyu-seop called.

“Mr. Tree―. I think we should go to the conference room on the 13th floor. But what about that woman just now?”
