[Episode 11] Jagalchi Market (3)

“Who’s bothering our Poppy!”

When Ha Dong-gun’s party’s head lantern illuminated the place, it was old men and women in their 50s who appeared.

“Yeah?”

“Oh, turn off the lights! It hurts my eyes!”

“Oh, sorry.”

They approached the Ha Dong-gun party with a carefree gait.

The ladies passed by Ha Dong-gun’s party and looked at the state of the tree monster and made a fuss.

“Oh my gosh, it would be nice if you could pour this, it would make a hole.”

“It must have been very painful.”

“Poppy, are you okay?”

Right after that, a disobedient order fell toward Ha Dong-gun’s party.

“Look! Did you guys do this?”

“Ah yes.”

“Wow, you’re making a quiet child to this point?”

“…sorry.”

Cheers poured out from the side for a moment in the serious atmosphere.

“Look here! Poppy did another one.”

The man who was talking to Ha Dong-gun also went to see the land shark.

“Wow dude, this has really gained weight.”

“Ya doesn’t taste very good.”

“Well, are you going to cover cold or hot meals right now? If you don’t like it, don’t eat it.”

“No, I don’t mean that. To be honest, it tastes better.”

“Aigoo- Fucking. Fucking.”

Listening to the familiar dialects delivered through the eyes of the absolute, it felt like my tension was relieved.

‘is it..’

Everything made sense at once.

The existence of tree monsters that don’t attack people, and the gigantic trees that only grew in our house.

‘You’ve awakened.’

It was immediately clear who had the power to do so.

‘grandfather’

Since I was very young, the house was full of plants.

In the yard, trees and flowers changed their clothes every season, and on the rooftop, various types of trees bore fruit every season.

After my grandfather retired, a field was formed on the roof and filled with green onions, onions, lettuce, and eggplants, and sometimes they appeared on the table.

I still remember vividly how I poured water and moistened the soil once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

‘Is that tree also Grandpa’s ability?’

Trees that do not attack people

I never thought that it would be someone’s awakening ability.

I thought it was just some coincidence.

That would be the case, so far, the number of Awoken people I have met while accepting thousands of people as citizens is only five.

It was said that just awakening was an extremely evil probability.

But here, the owner of the ability to not only deal with level 30 trees as subordinates, but also to grow trees of tens of meters in size, which may have some function?

As far as I know, there was only one Awoken person with such ability.

‘It’s just me.’

I was sure that no one had awakened to the same level of ability as me. That is why he was furious when he saw the tree taking over his house.

Monsters with powers of that magnitude would be overflowing.

‘I never thought there would be someone other than me who has awakened to this scale of power.’

And that would be my family.

If things work out like this, it will be lower than the probability of winning the lottery twice in a row.

Of course, with American lottery odds,

‘thank god. I’m so glad.’

To be honest, I was pretty sure my family was dead.

Even thinking about it for a bit, it made no sense.

Monsters in the late 20s roam around frequently, and monsters in the late 10s swarm in the sky.

It was an environment where it was assumed that there would be giant crustaceans in the early 30s, and maybe even more.

How can an ordinary human survive in such an environment?

I was already filling my heart with a sense of loss and anger, and was preparing to explode at any moment. In such a situation, the appearance of a giant tree growing in the place where the house should be was only a catalyst.

But I never thought things would turn out so well.

It was rather embarrassing to be so angry.

It’s a shame because the time he was angry was only a few seconds, but if he had been a little longer, he would have looked unsightly.

“hahahaha.”

Seo Ye-jin and Yoo Hye-rin asked in a worried tone as we were smiling dejectedly.

“Jaehyun, what happened?”

“…Are you okay?”

During the operation, he was suddenly smiling dejectedly, so it was understandable to be anxious.

“It’s okay. Nothing happened. Everyone is fine.”

Before anyone knew it, Ha Dong-gun and his party were helping to dismantle land sharks.

As the level was high, thanks to his superior physical ability, he was able to dismantle the land shark quickly, and the surroundings were exclaiming.

“Ah, I like being young! If only I was 20 years younger…!”

Before anyone knew it, Ha Dong-gun’s party was naturally carrying their burdens and moving with the aunts and uncles.

I used the Communication Ring towards them.

[Do you see the huge tree on your left? That’s my hometown. ]

Ha Dong-gun, who understood the meaning of my words, opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry teachers, but can I ask where you’re going? I think we’ll have to go to that tree.”

“Eh? I’m on my way to writing, right?~”

The man next to him raised his voice and asked.

“What? Do you know the sign of our village chief?~”

Hearing that, I gave an order to Ha Dong-geon’s party.

[Ask what the chief’s name is.]

Ha Dong-gun immediately repeated my question like a parrot, and the man said it as if it was nothing.

“The name of our chief?

The moment I heard that, a happy smile spread across my lips.

‘As expected, he’s a grandfather.’

Lee Bong-yeol, that was my grandfather’s name.

The reason why my last name is different is because my grandfather was from my mother’s side.

My family has been living in my mother-in-law’s house since my dad got married, so I’ve lived with my maternal grandfather and grandmother since I was born.

‘I’m glad you’re safe.’

The closer I got to the house, the more people I saw.

Around here, I felt as if the monsters were maintaining their appearance right before they attacked the world.

There were no broken buildings, no corpses strewn in the streets.

The more I checked them, the more comfortable I felt.

“Let’s stop by here for a moment.”

The space used as a parking lot in front of the house had become a warehouse, and there were dead bodies of marine monsters such as land sharks and sky marlins.

In addition, there were people who cared for them.

‘There are a lot of people.’

Only those gathered here were estimated to have passed over a hundred.

Most of them were elderly uncles and aunts, or grandparents. This is because the village itself, Nambu Min-dong, was a city with very few young people and a very high average age.

Among them, there are many people who have been involved in the fishery industry from the beginning, so the appearance of grooming fish seemed very familiar.

Nearby, there were people who spread out the stalls and immediately scooped and ate sashimi, and the savory smell of grilling fish came out.

It was almost as if the owner of the Jagalchi market had moved to this place.

“Let’s leave it here.”

“Did you catch it again?”

“Yeah, that’s right. He’s the new son here. He’s hungry. Let’s eat some sashimi.”

The man holding the sashimi knife skilfully removed the flesh from the land shark and served it in a bowl.

“Here!”

It was a proper plate of sashimi prepared with vinegar sauce, wasabi, and soy sauce.

“Let’s sit down and eat.”

“How about chopsticks?”

“No, just eat it with your bare hands, like this, uhm~”

I hurriedly summoned the chopsticks at home there.

Ha Dong-gun Party naturally picked up the chopsticks, but the man and woman who witnessed the chopsticks emerging from the air were startled and made a fuss.

“What did you do just now? What, can you become a wizard?”

“Ah, that’s amazing.”

Amidst the burdensome attention, Ha Dong-gun’s party took pieces of sashimi to their mouths one by one.

“Um?~”

“Mmm!”

It was sashimi made with freshly caught fish.

I couldn’t help but taste it.

“it’s delicious!”

“Great. “

“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten sashimi.”

“Draw, eat a lot.”

Ha Dong-gun, who was eating with a happy face, summoned cola cider and cool water there for the party.

OK.

“Oh no?!”

“Isn’t that Coke?”

“Cider! Cider!”

Adults gathered around Ha Dong-gun showed interest in the party and showed a strong reaction.

Ha Dong-gun and other party members handed the summoned drinks to them and said.

“Do you want to eat?”

“Is that okay?”

“Sure.”

“Hey, hey! I have to give it to you first! I took care of that!”

“Your uncle is also here.”

People who received cola and cider drank it with a fuss.

I don’t know if I should say this to the elderly, but the way they ate each sip sparingly was rather cute.

Seeing that, I smiled and bought a large quantity of Coke and Cider and summoned them next to them. In addition, water, ramen, rice, eggs, milk, and other food materials were released in large quantities.

“no!”

“What’s all this?!”

“Hey, are you giving us all of this to eat?”

Ha Dong-gun nodded with a light smile.

“I think so. It’s like a gift from Jaehyun-nim to the teachers.”

“Jesus Crisis, who is Jaehyun?

“Oh, he’s not here.”

The old man, who was preparing to kneel on the floor at Ha Dong-gun’s words, asked with a stupid expression.

“What?”

After thinking about it for a while, I wondered if I couldn’t come to a conclusion, so I asked again.

“What, is it possible to be the Jesus you know as Jaehyun? If you’re not here, is it in heaven?”

Oh Eon-joo laughed and joked.

“Maybe it really is, I don’t know.”

People in the warehouse were busy with supplies that suddenly appeared out of thin air.

“Everyone move this to the warehouse!”

“Mr. Kim! Come over here!”

In the meantime, the man who had been talking friendly with Ha Dong-gun from the very beginning asked.

“Ho, do you have butane gas or a gas burner?”

I immediately bought them from the store and released them.

“Ahh! It’s hot!”

The old man shouted at the people in the warehouse.

“Look at this! This is what I got from Dillake!”

“What? Gas?”

“Gas? Really?”

In particular, the reaction from the side grilling the fish was intense.

There, he was cooking by making a fire by cutting wood.

Of course, the appearance of gas burners and butane gas made us roll our eyes.

“Really?”

“Here! Bring some here! Let’s have some spicy soup!”

“Ramen, boil it first!”

The whole warehouse was very excited.

It was then.

Wood deuk-

I started hearing some strange noises.

The long sound from the roof of the warehouse to the entrance was the sound of tree roots growing.

The man who came down from the root of the tree screamed.

“Wow, is this noisy?”

An old man with a half-naked head wearing thick reading glasses,

A strong presence emanated from his stubborn face.

As soon as I saw his face, I couldn’t help but be thrilled.

‘grandfather…!’
