The President is Going to America! - Chapter 136

136. A cup of coffee

Rustle.

Oh Hyun-seong was writhing in his blanket.

Although he appeared to have his eyes closed, he was actually already awake.

I woke up, but for some reason I don’t want to get up.

I enjoyed this deep sense of depraved weariness, wanting to just bury myself in my soft pillow and blanket forever.

A weekday when many people are busy moving around.

It was quite enjoyable to think that I could spend a whole day in Evil if I wanted to.

Since it was farm work anyway, there was no problem as long as he did it whenever he wanted.

“…But I still have to get up.”

Oh Hyun-seong opened his eyes and slowly raised his upper body.

It’s been a long time since I let go of the obsessions I had during my time in the special forces, but I’m afraid that I might end up turning into a human sloth.

Oh Hyun-seong jumped up from his seat.

‘It seems like it’s been a while since I’ve seen this room.’

The interior of the bedroom feels unfamiliar today.

I was gone longer than I originally expected, but it felt even longer.

It’s nice to sleep in a space with a proper ceiling.

Oh Hyun-seong went to the kitchen, drank a glass of water, and roughly straightened his messy hair while looking at the small mirror hanging in the living room.

“hmm…”

Oh Hyun-seong looks around with his eyes wide open.

I stood blankly on the floor, looking out at the now familiar scenery of the yard and the clear sky.

The weather has definitely gotten warmer, to the point where you don’t feel chilly even if you go out wearing short sleeves.

Some days it was a little muggy.

“It’s quiet.”

A moderately blowing wind.

All that could be heard was the sound of rustling leaves and chirping birds.

A very quiet and secluded space.

There was no sound of ceaseless gunfire from the north or the strange howls of monsters in the distance.

It is a space that embraces peace, so much so that the tumultuous uproar in the north feels like a dream.

No matter how experienced a veteran is over a long period of time, or how crazy a battle fanatic is, being stuck in that kind of environment for a long time will inevitably wear you down physically and mentally.

It’s not for nothing that most of the first-generation hunters from all over the world, who were constantly grinding out hunters, disappeared.

It’s not simply a question of being strong or weak as a hunter.

As your body becomes tired and your mind becomes worn out, you become more susceptible to evil spirits.

Oh Hyun-seong himself was one of the lucky survivors, and that is why he knew even more about the value of this peaceful space.

“… Now that I think about it.”

Turup.

He placed a hand on his side.

I lifted my top slightly because I felt no pain at all, and I saw my healthy side.

The wounds I received during the battle with the named monster, Nihil, have completely disappeared.

Even by the hunter’s standards, it was a serious wound, but it healed completely in just one day, leaving behind not even a slight discoloration, let alone a scar.

‘They say food is the best medicine, and it really works.’

Oh Hyun-seong nodded with satisfaction.

Basically, the rice grown in his fields not only restored stamina, but was also very effective in healing wounds.

Just eating at home will completely remove any wounds or aftereffects.

That was also the reason why he fell asleep right after dinner after returning home yesterday.

Boom boom!

“did you sleep well?”

Oh Hyeon-seong chuckled at the sight of spirits coming around and waving their hands.

Then I put on comfortable shoes and crossed the yard.

“I’ll be back in a bit.”

He waved his hand at the spirits who were asking him with their eyes as if asking where he was going.

It was a bit of an awkward time to eat since I was lazing around under the blankets anyway.

I took advantage of this ambiguous time and headed to the fields.

Because there is something to check.

‘I planted them a little late, but most of the crops should have already grown.’

Although there were various things going on in the North, there was another original reason why he crossed the border.

It was just to visit the secret seed vault.

Firstly, it was to check if the storage was in good condition, and secondly, it was to bring in additional original seeds that I had not been able to collect.

Of course, it was impossible to move all the massive samples there in just one trip, so the original plan was to use the vehicle we brought and bring it down as full as possible.

But I was lucky.

The transportation changed along the way.

A transport helicopter belonging to the National Security Agency willingly gave up its vast space and loaded it with samples.

Thanks to this, he was able to bring home many more original seeds than he had expected.

Most of the newly brought seeds were stored in the underground warehouse.

As it was an underground warehouse created by Meltz’s ability, it could be expanded as much as needed by bringing in new seeds.

Thanks to Albert’s abilities, the preservation function is also more perfect than that of large-scale seed storage facilities.

The area that needs immediate attention is the field.

‘If something goes wrong and the seeds are blown away, it’s a big problem.’

Although his seed vault was extensive, he only had a small sample of any one seed.

Therefore, if the seeds planted in the field are bad, the perfect original crop may never be tasted.

Moreover, among the crops I grew this time, there were some fruits and crops that were not well suited to our country’s natural climate, so I was a little more careful.

But fortunately, when I checked, all the crops I planted yesterday were growing well.

He let out a brief sigh of relief, sowed the seeds, and expanded the field.

The idea is to secure extra seeds and store them in storage, and then create full-scale fields in each section allocated in advance for each crop.

Since it was something I was used to, today’s dental work was finished quickly.

That day at lunchtime, the Yu siblings came to his house to play, as usual.

Although they were originally a sibling who often barged in, there was also the fact that Oh Hyeon-seong suddenly returned by helicopter and did not properly hear about what happened yesterday.

I was especially curious about Eun-ha Yoo so much that I couldn’t even sleep properly.

Sniff sniff!

But as they stood in front of the gate, a fragrant smell wafted in.

“What is that smell?”

They had become somewhat accustomed to the delicious smell wafting from Oh Hyeon-seong’s house.

Just cooking with the produce from his farm would fill the air with a fantastic smell.

But the scent now was different from those smells.

The identity of the fragrance was soon discovered.

Dalgrak.

“Wow…!”

“Was that the smell of coffee you were smelling earlier?”

The eyes of the two siblings sitting on the floor widened.

Oh Hyeon-seong, who had served the coffee, nodded.

“That’s right, it’s the new guy we just brought in.”

One of the newly grown crops, coffee beans.

I roasted the beans while looking for home roasting videos, and brewed the coffee using a hand drip device that I bought in advance.

Although there were a few miserable failures, once I got the hang of it, I was able to make some decent coffee.

Compared to professional baristas, their dripping skills may be poor, but what they can’t overcome is their ability to quickly master the ingredients.

The world’s best coffee, perfected by beginners.

“What are you doing, not trying it?”

“That… that…”

Gulp.

The siblings stared down at their coffee.

Unlike previous generations, they had never had proper coffee since they were born.

I’ve had coffee before, but it’s all been cheap, factory-made, and it tastes so horrible that I wonder why anyone would drink it.

I can’t even imagine what delicious coffee would be like.

Huroop.

However, the siblings who drank it with their eyes tightly closed let out exclamations.

“This… This was originally coffee?”

“Okay, okay.”

Oh Hyun-seong smiled and drank his share of the coffee.

What a wonderful aroma and taste.

There were quite a few different coffee varieties in the seed vault, but to be honest, since I have no knowledge of this area, I couldn’t tell the difference.

First, I picked up a few things that I could get my hands on and tried growing them like this.

But it is impossible not to notice these differences in taste and aroma.

It’s on a whole different level from the black liquid that I drank in a cafe in Seoul, which was like Satan’s impurity.

No, it would be better to think of it as a completely different category of drink.

“Oh… Oppa. Can I have one more drink?”

“Of course. I really needed more practice.”

A house filled with the scent of roasted coffee.

They sat together and chatted pleasantly for a while.

*

Oh Hyeon-seong went down to the village to stop by.

I ran out of detergent, so I decided to buy some other necessities.

But as I was going down to the village, a very familiar white Bongo truck was rumbling down the road.

Squeak.

A car stopped next to him.

The window rolled down, and a middle-aged man with his arm crossed poked his head out.

“Hey, Hyunseong!”

“Mr. Deoksu.”

Oh Hyun-seong reacted to his appearance with his rough beard and dark skin.

But he tried to correct it, as if he was not satisfied with something.

“I told you to call me hyung.”

“We’re not that old.”

“What a cruel son of a bitch.”

It’s been several months since I started living here.

The stage of being a stranger from the city was already over, and I had formed quite a relationship with the people of Changyeong-ri.

Even though my house is quite far from the center of town, I used to go down there from time to time to interact with people.

It was also his own effort to become a part of the village.

Thanks to this, I became quite close to some of the residents in particular.

The Heodeoksu here is one of them.

“Were you going down to the village?”

“I’m going to stop by the supermarket. Are you working?”

Oh Hyun-seong looked at the pistol leaning against the passenger seat and asked.

It wasn’t a very visible angle, but old habits kept creeping in.

Of course, in the past, you would have smashed the glass and dragged the person down before he could reach for his gun, but that’s not the case anymore.

Heo Deok-su was the village’s catcher.

You might wonder what kind of hunter it is in this world where monsters are rampant, but that is precisely why it is all the more necessary.

It is often due to wild animals that invade the village.

In the old days, in rural Korea, there were hardly any animals that could threaten people, and all they had to do was chase them away. However, things are very different now, with the animals becoming more aggressive due to the toxic air.

If you get caught up in the wrong thing, you could lose your life to a rabid wild animal.

That is why, in most rural villages today, there is at least one professional hunter who hunts wild animals.

“No, it’s not because of work.”

But Heo Deok-su shook his head.

“There’s no work to do these days. Normally, around this time of year, a wild boar from the mountain behind the house would jump out and make a big fuss over the field, but I don’t know what it is, but it hasn’t even come near the village. Isn’t that strange?”

The wild animals are strangely quiet, unlike usual.

Of course, this was because of Oh Hyeon-seong.

After the last time a nest of lurking monsters turned the village upside down, Oh Hyeon-seong periodically checked the surrounding area for monsters.

In addition, when wild animals came into an area that seemed dangerous, they were chased away or disposed of.

So, there is no way that animals can invade the village and cause trouble.

“If it’s not for work, then what is it? You’re even carrying a pistol.”

“Ah… that’s…”

Heo Deok-su’s gaze slightly turned to the side.

A subtle expression passed across his face for a moment.

For an ordinary person, it was an excellent expression management, but it was clearly visible to Oh Hyun-seong.

“No, nothing…”

Thump.

Oh Hyun-seong approached quickly and placed his hand on the car window.

Then, Heo Deok-su flinched and stepped back.

“Stop it and tell me. What’s going on?”
