Farming Druid - Chapter 90



Only Noblemtl

090. This is a service drink.

It was a miracle.

The child’s electrocardiogram soon returned to a stable state.

The doctors sighed.

A little later.

The child opened his eyes.

When the child opened his eyes, the doctors smiled and held his hand as if they were relieved.

“Our friend is back safely.”

The doctor spoke sincerely.

Then the child smiled and continued speaking slowly.

“I’m sorry. I told you that it was hard. That’s why I said that. I told you that I wanted to go to the zoo with my mom.”

The doctor simply nodded in agreement with the child’s words.

The doctor turned his head toward the window.

I felt like I could faintly hear someone humming from somewhere.

* * *

Even after Grandma’s humming ended, the plants continued to sing.

“Don’t they get tired?”

“Well―?”

Grandma’s gaze lingered somewhere in the building.

“Grandma, it’s windy. Come in.”

At the tree’s urging, the grandmother got up from her seat and returned to the sickroom.

The plants continued to sing.

Like a soft humming, quiet and not noisy.

The next morning.

Grandma headed to the lab to have some tests done.

On the way to the examination room.

The tree heard people’s conversations.

“I slept really well last night because I kept hearing pleasant music coming from somewhere.”

“That’s right—I heard it too. It was very calming, quiet, and unobtrusive music. It sounded like the sound of the wind.”

“Oh my―. I took care of emergency patients until dawn yesterday and took a short nap… You know, I should be tired, but I’m not tired at all… It’s strange.”

The doctor’s muttering reached the tree’s ears.

I looked at my grandmother.

I thought as I looked at my grandmother smiling.

‘Doesn’t that seem like a small talent?’

On the way to the examination room.

A familiar face was approaching.

“Oh―. Tree Army.”

“Hello, professor.”

It was Professor Do Joong-ha.

As soon as Grandma checked on the professor.

He bowed at a 90 degree angle as he greeted me.

“It’s been a while, Professor. How have you been?”

“Oh my, Grandma. Please don’t do that.”

Towards Professor Jung Ha, who was trying to straighten the old woman’s back, which was bent at a 90-degree angle.

My grandmother said, very grateful.

“The tree… … This is the doctor who kept our tree alive. Of course, we should pay him this kind of respect.”

The professor felt uncomfortable, but the grandmother continued to bow and greet him.

The tree scratched its head awkwardly at the two people’s greeting.

After the two people had finished greeting each other.

“I heard you came for a health checkup. Are you feeling any discomfort?”

“Thank you for being so kind to me.”

After briefly chatting about this and that.

Professor Do Jung-ha looked at the tree and opened his mouth.

“Grandma―. You have raised your grandson very well. I visited your house last time. It was a really wonderful experience.”

“… Come visit again. I think I’ll be away from home again soon. Come visit often and rest. And ask the tree to make something delicious.”

“Hahaha – is that so, Grandma?”

“Yes, yes.”

The tree scratched its forehead at the conversation between the two.

I’m glad that people I like come over to play.

I wanted to avoid having outsiders visit my home.

PD Hong Seon-ah’s request to stay for 2 days and 1 night in exchange for mosaic processing.

Honestly, I hated trees.

When someone you’re not that close to asks you to stay a night at your country house.

I agreed because it was just a deal.

The opportunity has come to change that request.

The tree, whose request had been changed to a broadcast appearance, was relieved.

Because I didn’t want outsiders to come deep into my boundaries.

As an exception, my friend Joo Han-eum and Professor Do Jung-ha were okay.

Because these two people could be entrusted with the treatment of mountain and sea animals.

The tree pouted its lips as it thought about that.

‘Am I being a little selfish?’

When I was thinking like that.

Professor Do Jung-ha’s voice was heard.

“Tree Army – You must come for your inspection appointment in September.”

“Ah- yes. I’ll see you then.”

“Grandma, please get tested and be careful when you get home.”

“Yes, yes, thank you, professor.”

Professor Dojungha moved away.

The grandmother held the tree’s hand tightly.

The body temperature felt incredibly warm.

I held my grandmother’s hand and headed to the examination room.

On the way there, I heard the quiet, gentle humming of the story from last night.

The grandmother, who had been listening to the conversation between the doctors on duty, had a gentle smile on her face.

“Grandma―. Did you do that on purpose?”

“What are you talking about?”

My grandmother was a sage.

“… … .”

I thought it was a tree that was a small consideration(?) from a grandmother for young doctors who were tired from taking care of patients at the hospital.

Once all the tests are finished.

It was a little past lunchtime.

While Grandma went into the locker room to change clothes, Namu sent a text message to Haneum.

Tree: Are you busy preparing to go home now that the test is over?

Haneum: Oh, a little bit. Let’s go eat lunch and go to [SeeYou] below the hospital with grandma. I heard you were going to do it with your brother?

Tree: Ah―. There are a lot of people there.

Han-eum: It’ll be okay since it’s past lunch time.

Tree: Thanks – I’ll take care of it. Let me know when you have some free time.

Haneum: Okay – Drive carefully.

Percussion –

As Grandma came out of the locker room.

The tree’s eyes widened slightly.

The grandmother looked really elegant in a light green blouse and brown skirt.

“Wow, Grandma. Are these the clothes you bought at the outlet store back then?”

“Eww. Is Grandma pretty?”

“Yeah. It suits you well.”

I guess you like the answer.

Around his neck hung a necklace identical to the tree.

Grandma’s son.

So, I saw a medal that the father of the tree had personally carved.

“This too… …Did Dad make this?”

“Yeah— your dad was really good with his hands. He was really… … .”

The grandmother looked up at the sky, holding the medallion on her necklace that reached down to her chest.

The tree knew the feeling.

It must be a longing for a lost son.

I am like that too… … .

There’s no way she wouldn’t do that, even though she’s a grandmother.

“Grandma―. Dad was also planning to become a ‘Guardian’?”

“… … .”

In response to the question, the grandmother simply nodded.

It was a tree that realized that it was passed down from father to son.

What if my father was alive and I inherited the ‘Guardian’?

To be honest, I was a little curious.

“Grandma – Let’s have lunch before you go. Han-eum told me there’s a delicious restaurant nearby.”

“Really? Then let’s go.”

Joson headed to the restaurant that Haneum had recommended.

A little later.

The two parked in the public parking lot near the restaurant [SeeYou].

Headed to [SeeYou].

Even though it was past lunchtime, there were still some people waiting in line.

After a short line, Jo-son was able to enter the store.

Dararang-

“Welcome. This is [SeeYou]. Are there two of you?”

Jo-son entered the store and sat down after being guided by the staff.

“It’s neat… … .”

Those were my grandmother’s first words.

Namu also looked around the restaurant and got the impression that it was very clean.

“came?”

Someone approached the tree, put down a glass of water and a pitcher of water, and pretended to recognize it.

“Ah, Team Leader Joo.”

The tree stood up and tried to say hello.

Joo Ha-yoon handed me a menu and told me to just sit down.

Grandma quickly scanned the menu.

“Tree, old lady, I’m so hungry… … .”

“You can eat it all. Eat as much as you want.”

“Ugh―”

The tree’s order was today’s set menu, and the grandmother ordered the entire menu one by one.

Hayoon goes into the kitchen and hands over the menu.

Chef Kang Si-hoo, who was working in the kitchen, washed his hands and came out alone for a moment.

“You’re here? Brother? This person is… … .”

“My grandmother. Say hello.”

Kang Shi-hoo bowed respectfully to his grandmother.

“Hello, Grandma. I am Chef Kang Si-hu, in charge of this place [SeeYou].”

“Eww. The bachelor is handsome… … though he’s not as handsome as my grandson.”

For a moment the place around the table became quiet.

Ah, Grandma, why on earth?

The tree froze for a moment at the grandmother’s words.

Kang Shi-hoo also froze for a moment.

Shihu immediately smiled brightly.

I was able to smile because I understood the grandmother’s love for her grandchild.

The grandmother nodded after seeing that and said.

“The boss has a good personality. You passed. This store will do very well. And thank you for being friendly with our tree.”

At her grandmother’s words, Joo Ha-yoon’s face, who was standing next to her, began to tremble.

‘You think he has a good personality? That guy is the ultimate bad guy… … .’

When Joo Ha-yoon was trembling and thinking.

I heard my grandmother’s voice.

“Mr. Chef. I heard from my grandson. Come visit our house often. This guy likes Mr. Chef… … .”

“Grandma―!. What are you talking about… … .”

“Why? Hyung― I also want to visit you often, but I don’t have time so I can’t go.”

“Okay, come play, Chef.”

After my grandmother finished speaking.

Kang Shi-hoo opened his mouth with a bright smile.

“Grandma―. The chef, who is a little uglier than my grandson, will go prepare some food for you―.”

After saying those words, Kang Shi-hoo returned to the kitchen.

Grandma muttered, smiling faintly as she licked her lips.

“Tch— you don’t have a good personality. You have a bad aftertaste.”

“Grandma—Why did you do that?”

“Huh? I was just joking around. It’s okay. It’s okay.”

The grandmother brought the glass of water to her lips and looked at Chef Kang Si-hoo with shining eyes.

A little later.

A sumptuous meal was placed before the two people.

The guests around them started to chatter upon seeing the food.

“Oh my god—that guy eats all that? Where does all the food go?”

“Did you win the [SeeYou] lottery today? You’re going to eat all of that?”

“I’m sure that guy will leave it behind… … Huh? Grandma is eating it?”

“Oh, you’re hitting that old lady?”

The voices that had been chattering around suddenly disappeared.

I was surprised by my grandmother’s eating show.

There is no need to worry about the pockets, but how many times has the tree been surprised by Grandma’s appetite…

Before coming to the hospital.

Even at home, you don’t eat that much for breakfast, and you eat a whopping 20x for lunch.

For dinner, I ate three bowls of light rice.

Knowing how much his grandmother ate, the tree slowly looked down at the [Today’s Menu] in front of him.

There was a plate of five-grain rice, mackerel, vegetables, fried food, and bachelor kimchi neatly arranged in a bowl of fermented soybean paste stew.

It was when I was trying to move my chopsticks to taste the fried food.

“Oh, fried mugwort leaves at this time of year.”

My grandmother’s chopsticks snatched a piece of fried food from the sky like a magpie snatching a chicken.

I was momentarily taken aback.

“…Grandma.”

Let’s look at grandma.

With a bright expression, the grandmother put the fried mugwort leaves into her mouth.

Asasak-

The crisp sound of freshly fried tempura reached the tree’s ears.

The hand holding the chopsticks trembled without me knowing it.

“Grandma… Mi… … .”

The tree bit its lips hard at the sound that came out through its lips.

Ever since I was little, my grandmother would sometimes steal side dishes that the tree liked.

And after hearing that the sight of a tree exploding was cute, I decided not to react.

The old woman, who had been staring at the tree, ate her food with a puzzled expression.

‘You were just trying to see my reaction… … .’

Percussion –

Two glasses of drink were placed in front of the two people.

“This is a service drink.”

The grandmother emptied her bowl, took a sip of her drink, and then froze for a moment.

“?!”
