Farming Druid - Chapter 82



Only Noblemtl

082. What, what goblin?

Abel came into the room and barked as if he understood.

King – (Yes.)

“Come here, Abel.”

The tree met Abel’s gaze, rubbing his chubby cheek.

“Why did you bring Mr. Kang Si-hoo here during the day?”

Arrr- Arr- (That… I thought that person was a doctor…)

Shifu burst into laughter at Abel’s words.

“So that’s why you brought me here?”

Nod—

The tree felt like it had to tell Abel the truth.

“Abel… … My brother said. There’s a lump growing on my head.”

Abel looked at the tree’s head from side to side to see if there was a bump on its head.

The tree burst into laughter at that sight.

“It’s not the lump on top of your head… … there’s a lump inside here.”

Point to your eyes with your index finger.

Abel took a step back for a moment.

Kurut- (Guardian. Then I’m going to die?)

The tree shrugged its shoulders in response to Abel’s question, as if it didn’t know. It suddenly occurred to him that he had suppressed a lot of his emotions.

When I was young.

It was a habit I started having after my parents passed away and I started living with my grandmother.

I didn’t want to worry anyone, so I hid it again and again.

Look at Abel’s worried expression.

The tree smiled again, hiding its emotions.

“No―. It just hurts a lot, but it doesn’t kill you. Who knows. If the lump in your head gets bigger, you might die… … .”

Kwung-(No.)

Abel’s reaction was just cute.

The tree stroked Abel’s head and sat thoughtfully.

Abel tilted his head at the sight.

He placed his huge head on the guardian’s shoulder.

Kkiing―.(What’s wrong?)

“Huh? What?”

Ugh―(Why are you hiding your feelings?)

“Then… why hide it?”

As the tree’s hand stopped moving, Abel’s head tilted slightly.

“Abel—. My brother will be going to Seoul for the fall harvest. Please take good care of the house then.”

They did say that Abel had a mole.

However, it was not said that this lump affected eyesight.

Even now, there are times when things appear blurry and the field of vision narrows.

Kkung-Kkeung? (Are you going to Seoul?)

“Don’t worry, it’s not serious, so go get tested.”

Woof-woof-(Worry… Go to sleep soon.)

“Whoa! Hey. Abel, why are you pushing the person down?”

Woof- woof- (Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Get better.)

The tree chuckled.

Abel’s pure, innocent heart was touched.

“Okay, fine. Turn off the lights.”

Kkung- (Yes.)

Click―.

When the fire went out, the tree pulled the blanket up to its shoulders and closed its eyes.

I recalled a dynamic and magnificent day, a day I enjoyed talking to people there.

Swoosh— Swoosh—

Abel, who could hear the trees breathing evenly, carefully closed the door and went out into the yard.

“Bor-.”

A small snake that had been looking down at the yard from a wooden perch poked its head out.

“Wham?”

“Guardian… … I know what the disease is.”

“What is it?”

“There’s a lump growing inside my head… … .”

“?!”

“I heard you’re going to Seoul after the fall harvest… … Can you go with me?”

“The Guardian hates me?”

Click—

The heads of the snake and Abel turned when they heard the sound of the annex door opening.

“Huh? You said Abel? Who were you talking to?”

Abel realized that the chef was a guest.

Shh …

The chef’s eyes widened.

Thump— whew—

The snake quickly fled up a tree as it swung its esophagus out of nowhere.

Shiririt―(Shit, I’m surprised. Why are you swinging a sword all of a sudden―)

Wangwang-(That’s right. I guess this guy hates snakes too.)

The snake looked down at the man from the top of the tree.

Phew— Phew—

After swinging the sword.

The knife disappeared in an instant.

The snake smelled a familiar scent to the ‘cook’ who had come as the guardian’s guest.

Shrit- Shririt- (I smell something from this world. Huh?)

The python’s pupils were torn vertically and turned round.

‘Is there anyone else besides me who can open the gate to this world?’

Wangwang-(Customer-Why are you here?)

Abel stood in the yard, looking at the Guardian’s guest who was catching his breath.

“My name is Kang Shi-hoo. Did you say Abel?”

It was a calm voice.

Abel sat up and looked at him, hearing another pleasant voice from his guardian.

“Abel, is your master very sick?”

Kung-(How?)

“First of all―. I can’t say anything because I haven’t built trust with the owner yet.”

Wang Kyeong-(Is there a way? This customer?)

Shurit-(I see…)

Shifu was smiling.

I didn’t look up at the snake that had climbed up the treetop, but I heard its voice.

-Sihu. I want to go to Ella.

“Okay, let’s go in. I’ll open the door for you.”

The snake and Abel were startled by the voice coming from the shadows.

Boom (What the―)

Shh …

As Shihu went back into the annex, he whispered something in Abel’s ear.

Huh?

Abel looked at the guest who had entered the annex.

Shiririt-(What are you saying?)

“That, that… … is a secret.”

under-?

Is the ink on this guardian deed barely dry?

The snake just stuck out its tongue, as if it was displeased.

one side.

Abel kept thinking about the words of the guest who had just entered the annex.

‘There is a way to cure your master. But keep it a secret for the time being. Or else I won’t tell you?’

Abel thought back to what the guest in the annex had said.

There is a way.

How to cure the Guardian’s headache.

If I stay still, you’ll tell me, right?

then…….

First, should I show you a gift… … no, the sunrise?

Abel shook his head, his mind becoming more complicated.

‘You should let me know. The guest smelled good too.’

* * *

Tiri- Tirolong-

I reached out and turned off the alarm.

I looked at my watch and it was 6 am.

When I tried to get up, my body felt like a tree soaked in water.

‘I guess I overdid it yesterday… … .’

After the guests leave, I’ll bring a rocking chair out into the yard and rest in the sun.

Jjatcha-

Let’s get out of bed.

The cats were sleeping huddled together.

“Aren’t you guys hot?”

Meing-

Meow―

After hearing the cats’ answers, the tree tidied up the bed.

After washing up quickly, I went out into the yard.

When you try to sweep the yard with a big broom.

I saw Abel crouching in front of his grandmother’s magic storehouse.

“What are you doing there?”

Abel raised his head at the voice of the tree.

Woof- Keu-eung- (I was out because it was hot.)

Ah, I understand.

Malamute.

They are a breed of dog with the thickest wolf blood and were used as sled dogs to pull sleds in the North and South Poles, so they probably have a hard time withstanding this kind of heat.

Still, he was a guy who went into a hot spring at night and groaned like an old man.

“Ah! I need to prepare some nourishing food for the cat that just gave birth… … I need to sweep the yard and make some dried pollack and seaweed soup.”

Swish— Ssaaaak—

The tree quickly swept the yard.

When I was eating dinner last night.

I picked up a few pearls that had bounced off while sweeping the yard.

Four men dug up quite a few pearls from the oyster.

Pearls were found rolling out from scallops, oysters and abalones.

If you take it to a jeweler, you can probably get a pretty penny for it.

Dalkaak―

The annex door opened and Chef Kang Si-hoo with white skin popped out.

“Did you sleep well?”

The tree greeted him with a smile.

He also greeted me with a smile.

“Can I help you?”

“I would appreciate your help. I was going to hurry up and go in because I thought I needed to make some seaweed soup for the cat that gave birth yesterday.”

“Give me a broom. I’ll sweep.”

“Ah. Thank you for taking the time to do it for me.”

The tree extended its fist to Shifu.

Jjalgrak―

“Huh? Pearl?”

“I found it while sweeping the yard. Take it.”

“… … .”

Shihu burst into laughter as he saw the back of the tree going into the house, looking at the pearl in his hand.

‘They say other people spend tens or hundreds of dollars to buy natural pearls. Here, it’s just a fee for your trouble… What an interesting person… ‘

The tree before boiling the seaweed soup.

I washed the rice.

This was because we decided to let you cook rice in a cauldron as a countryside experience this morning.

While the dried pollack soup is boiling.

I took Shihu, who was sweeping the yard, and headed to my old house.

“After you light the fire in the stove, put some firewood in the bonfire here and put rice in this small cauldron and cook it. Try it.”

“What about side dishes?”

“You can pick vegetables from the field and use them. Seriously, after seeing Chef Kang’s knife skills yesterday, I thought I should become a Korean chef.”

“… Now that we’re on the subject, can I teach you how to make Korean food?”

“yes?”

In an instant, the tree’s eyes grew wide.

When I spoke with Chef Kang Si-hoo, I felt like a clear line was being drawn.

‘The saying that you have to experience something to know something is true… … I almost judged too hastily.’

Kang Shi-hoo was putting rice into a cauldron and adding water.

“Oh, Chef Kang is going to teach us how to cook Korean food?”

“Yes. Sometimes. When you want to come down and rest? I’ll let you know.”

“What would a busy person… … .”

It bounced once.

“Even though I’m busy, I keep my word.”

Ah, so that’s the type.

The tree nodded.

“Chef Kang, you’re the type of person who can’t be in debt, right?”

“yes?”

The tree smiled after seeing Shihu’s expression.

Because he himself was the type of person who couldn’t live with debt.

It was a tree that made me feel a sense of kinship with the young friend who I thought was amazing.

“Ah— seaweed soup.”

The tree ran out of the old house’s kitchen naked.

Shihu, who was looking at the back of the tree, shook his head.

‘I’ve been feeling a sense of kinship since yesterday… … That’s right. I don’t like being in debt… … .’

Shihu felt the clinking of the pearls in his pocket and headed to the field to prepare breakfast.

* * *

The tree holding the bowl of seaweed soup headed towards the mother cat who had given birth yesterday.

“Meow―.”

Mii-(here.)

A mother cat gives birth to three kittens in a dark box.

The tree put down the bowl of seaweed soup.

Instead of slurping, he began to inhale the contents in a slurping manner.

“Eat slowly and you’ll get full. I gave you a can last night. But you ate it in a hurry this morning?”

Ummnyangnyang―

The tree briefly watched the mother cat eating without answering, then turned its gaze to the kittens.

All three had dark fur.

‘Should I call it soy sauce, gochujang, and doenjang? So gochujang is just makjang?’

When the tree was thinking of the kittens’ names.

I felt someone approaching.

“Wow—this is the cat house.”

It was Chef Kang.

“Yes – it’s only been a day since the kittens were born. The mother cat is vicious.”

-Ear, so cute.

The tree opened its mouth and snickered at the words heard from the shadows.

“Friend―. Come out of the shadows and look.”

-Huh? Oh. Yes.

A black cat-like creature emerged from the shadows and crouched in front of Shifu, watching the kittens.

“Is this a cat? Or is it not a cat?”

In response to the tree’s question, Shihu scratched his cheek and said.

“Black Goblin.”

“Huh? What, what goblin?”

Shifu nodded at the tree’s reaction.

Because I was like that at first too.

“Aren’t you a blue, dwarf-like race that spit and wields axes and clubs? Goblins?”

“Um― that’s right… … .”

Haaaak― haaak―.
