Chapter 86

Sizzle--!

A laboratory where experiments proceeding for a long time.

The party who came down from the meeting room to the laboratory lightly looked around.

“More detailed process proceeding inside not revealed to the outside so here freely look fine.”

At guild master Han Seokjun’s words Director Choi recalled the strawberry just seen.

Gyuseong’s words thought a joke for a moment.

But here actually researching potion production using strawberries.

“Now coming and asking but... not ordinary strawberry right?”

“Right.”

“By any chance related to the rumor about buff type food heard recently?”

Director Choi himself ashamed of asking such question. Actually Ara Hongryeon side no obligation to answer what he asked moreover might be rude.

Whether read such Director Choi’s expression Han Seokjun smiled.

“That also right.”

“...Yes.”

A feeling of the puzzle gradually completing.

To begin with potion production also important but raw materials most important. If dividing shares almost 9 tenths.

Clearly Ara Hongryeon side found a place to mass supply such buff type food or found an awakener certain.

‘Lee Gyuseong.’

And high probability that protagonist Lee Gyuseong right beside.

Then Director Choi felt someone’s touch touching his pants hem.

“Try eating?”

Before I knew it Ara holding out one strawberry.

Director Choi blankly nodded and received the strawberry.

“Thank you. I’ll eat well.”

“Yeah!”

But fine to receive and eat so carelessly?

After coming here continuously a position of checking eyes so mood strange.

Looking at people’s gazes rather full of expectation seeming. Director Choi examined the strawberry once then soon in the mouth...

[Mana strawberry LV.1]

A crop containing mana.

Harmless to the human body.

Upon intake, faint wound recovery effect granted.

Upon intake, faint fever reduction effect granted.

“!!”

Item display!

Seeing the substance of the buff type item only heard by rumor without knowing hand stopped. Soon reading the explanation could understand why potion made with strawberry.

‘This even civilians not awakeners eating effect good.’

Had to confirm the effect directly.

Director Choi put the strawberry carefully examining in one bite. Then suddenly strange sighs heard from around.

“Aa...”

“Not eating like that...”

“...”

Why showing such reaction? By any chance separate intake method?

While feeling question the strawberry’s scent started wrapping the mouth inside. Soon the moment chewing with strength.

Pung!

“Um?!”

Firecracker bursting sound.

Director Choi who looked around with a flustered face soon realized that noise an illusion.

No, he actually not even looking around. All this a phenomenon made by his own illusion.

‘Th, this taste...’

Director Choi was a workaholic.

For such him hobby only surfing but that also pushed by work and not enjoying.

Such him unlike other awakeners not clinging to gourmet. But the emotion he feeling now...

Trickle-

“Uh, uh? Director Choi?”

“Uahaha! Director Choi showing tears! Seeing all sorts!”

Deep emotion surged like a tide from inside the mouth.

The happiness forgotten while living in the busy daily life felt again.

Refreshing yet softly embracing sweetness.

Even though Director Choi not liking sweet that much this strawberry alone seemed able to eat dozens, no hundreds without getting tired.

“A!”

The strawberry that disappeared in an instant.

But that scent alone remaining at the end of the throat still flaunting presence.

As if not a dream.

“Fine? Here more.”

Before I knew it Ara holding strawberries in both hands approached and tilted head. Looking at Director Choi shedding tears worriedly seeming intending to soothe.

“A, a...”

Only then Director Choi who noticed his own disgrace casually wiped tears. Then matching gaze with Ara and smiled.

“Thank you.”

“Yeah! Eat a lot! If eating delicious sad things also disappear!”

Ara who shouted vigorously soon handed the strawberry then ran trotting and clung to Gyuseong.

“I also want to eat! Originally delicious things eating together!”

“Haha. Yeah. Let’s all eat together.”

“Ooh! Ara! Indeed only you! Uahaha!”

Kang Hanul who unexpectedly hit the jackpot ran with a full smile. And Han Seokjun and Jeong Soyeon also subtly joined and quietly waited for Gyuseong to divide what to eat.

“...”

Director Choi holding the received strawberry in hand quietly watched that scenery.

An unknown itchiness stirred his heart.

* * *

“Please take care from now.”

“Yes, thank you.”

The meeting with Terror Guild Director Choi successfully concluded. We made one small trade and after succeeding mass production of my potion agreed to supply potions in exchange for corresponding payment and cooperate in dungeon subjugation from now.

Terror Guild master’s positive reply already received state.

“Thanks to that could form alliance with Terror Guild. Indeed awakener Lee Gyuseong our guild’s treasure.”

“Wondered why guild master not hiding such information but drawing a bigger picture.”

“Mr. Gyuseong’s ability a treasure in a bag. An amazing ability that can’t hide even if trying to hide. Rather during the contract period we also suck honey as much as possible.”

When Han Seokjun said sucking honey somehow awkward.

The person who already poured as much as poured saying sucking honey? Exactly heard like a strange sound of give 100,000 won so buy 1,000 won bread and take the remaining money.

‘Win-win with each other but if must say I sucking honey.’

Anyway for this matter a good for sister-in-law and good for brother-in-law matter.

According to Director Choi’s words Terror Guild side also scheduled to procure funds for strawberry potion mass production research and pay the payment generously so now really no money worry seeming.

Still have to try mass production but if catching cheap 3 million won per potion...

‘30 million won a day! Of course a certain ratio cut to the guild but!’

Plus cost almost close to 0.

I only plant seeds and the slimes raise all so no labor cost either.

Now me also a chaebol and giggling Jeong Soyeon casually talked.

“Mr. Gyuseong.”

“A, yes! What’s the matter?”

“Last time representative Baek Taeseop contacted our guild side.”

“A! The story of awakener Baek Seunghyeon the son almost completely cured!”

“Right. Thanks to that Iron Blood representative asking about Mr. Gyuseong’s news almost every day.”

Just in time came to the guild today and heard the news.

Because not going out much hearing late but really well done matter.

“Have to visit once.”

“Right now?”

“Representative Baek also busy with work so better to set a separate date.”

“Probably if Mr. Gyuseong says meet will set aside all work and run right away?”

“Haha. That too sorry for me.”

“And also...”

Jeong Soyeon paused with a slightly sorry face.

Wondering why so and waiting she finally opened the mouth.

“Know our orphanage?”

“Of course. Since visiting last time couldn’t contact at all.”

“This year end doing a small orphanage event. If fine can come together with Ara? If busy no need to force come.”

“Ooh! Can see Hongjun?”

Ara stuck beside me shining both eyes and shouted.

Recently too busy and couldn’t think but Ara the kids of Dasom Orphanage first human friends.

Suddenly too insensitive self-reproach felt.

“I’ll go. If year end exactly when?”

“December 23rd. Saturday.”

“Confirmed. Now not even a month remaining?”

“Sorry. Asking too urgently.”

“A, not that meaning...”

While saying I suddenly thought of dropping by once while out. Just in time in my bag Bokkeum and numerous crops contained.

‘If suddenly visiting rude?’

Narrowing the brow and worrying Jeong Soyeon smiled brightly and said.

“Fortunate. Everyone will like. Just in time intending to visit the orphanage now so have to inform this news first.”

“Oh, Ms. Soyeon.”

“Yes?”

“Can I go together too?”

“To the orphanage?”

“Yes. While out greet a bit, and Ara also quite since seeing friends so while at it...”

“Of course! Naturally fine. Rather glad!”

Jeong Soyeon jumping bang bang and shouting as if truly glad.

Usually really adult-like but occasionally such appearances showing the appearance of her age.

Come to think of it same age as Seona? No, one year older?

Newly felt younger. Even so Ara Hongryeon’s 1st team leader...

“Kr hmm!”

Then unlike Han Seokjun hyung Hanul who not leaving the seat casually coughed and revealed presence.

“Can I go together too?”

“Yes? 2nd team leader? Suddenly why?”

Jeong Soyeon with a truly why pure curious expression asked.

“I also orphanage sponsor! Not that strange!”

“Right but suddenly following so. 2nd team leader like Mr. Gyuseong that much?”

While saying Jeong Soyeon as if recalled something smiled.

“Aiming for bean powder?”

“Wh, what sound!”

Seeing now seeming aiming for the crops I have. Whoever seeing will think starving.

‘The person receiving the most crops except our family...’

Alone eating amount sufficiently remaining yet looking at struggling every day seeming not eating alone?

“Let’s go together.”

“Uahaha! Indeed younger brother Gyuseong! Only younger brother! 1st team leader look and learn a bit!”

“Yes, yes. Driving 2nd team leader do.”

“Ooo! Going!”

Unexpected schedule but not busy so fine. If must find work to do many but most the slimes do on own so unrelated.

Like that arriving at the orphanage riding hyung Hanul’s car, despite sudden visit everyone welcomed.

“Aigo, long time.”

“Haha. Sorry. Should have contacted often. Were you well?”

While greeting the director gladly Ara also met the kids after a long time and laughing and chatting and running around excitedly.

“Coming to the event too?”

“Yes. Fine?”

“Of course! If Mr. Gyuseong comes big welcome.”

While conversing gradually intending to open the bag suddenly Ara ran trotting.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong!”

“Um? Why?”

“I also want to do that!”

Turning the head the kids gathered doing something. Dance? Rhythm?

“A, the dance to show at the event. Preparing chorus too. Some kids dislike but persuading well and preparing.”

“Such thing at the event too.”

“Too worldly words but have to catch the eyes of sponsoring people. Appealing the cute appearance as much as possible. Ultimately need sponsorship money for me to take care of our kids not? Government subsidy not even close.”

At the too honest director’s words without knowing nodded. Kids number seeming over 100 natural words.

“Actually thanks to our Soyeon sponsors here and there increased a lot so could take care of kids a lot. Now no less over 300 kids?”

“300?”

“Exactly 324. Many?”

Certainly many.

Somehow seemed many teachers, that number certainly understandable number.

Then Ara who came beside me ran trotting again and watched the kids dancing. That back appearance somehow pitiful so I casually asked the director.

“When participating in the event intending to bring Ara too, by any chance fine if Ara dances together?”

“Ara? Of course!”

To the director saying possible too coolly I rather flustered. No even so fine?

“If a kid as cute as Ara rather good! Practice right away!”

“Yes? Yes...”

At the energetic director’s appearance casually worried.

Ara, you confident in dance...?
