Chapter 101: The Harvest Festival Begins (3)
Once the Carrot Harvest Competition was over,
Squeak!
Pi Ppi!
Squeal!
Squeap!
The excitement of the rabbits started to rise, and a festive atmosphere began to unfold. However, Sejun, who needed to harvest crops to complete his job quest, couldn’t join in the fun.
Therefore, he let the rabbits enjoy the festival, and he got to work with Cuengi, Theo, and Iona.
Even though he could work alone, he needed to supervise the minor Cuengi, who was covetously eyeing the Makgeolli that the black rabbit was drinking.
According to his mother, the Crimson Giant Bear, Cuengi needed to see about 10 more Blue Moons to be considered an adult.
And Theo and Iona wouldn’t leave Sejun’s lap no matter what he said.
Snip Snip
Thus, with his three animal companions, Sejun harvested cherry tomatoes.
[You have harvested the Well-Ripened Magical Cherry Tomatoes.]
[You need to harvest 72,811 more times to complete your job quest.]
[Your job experience slightly increases.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 5 slightly increases.]
[You have gained 30 experience points.]
Even though it was easier to cut the branch and harvest multiple at once, but that would allow him to use the Harvesting skill only once, so Sejun was picking the cherry tomatoes one by one.
Then,
[You have harvested Underripe Magical Cherry Tomatoes.]
[You need to harvest 72,744 more times to complete your job quest.]
[Your job experience slightly increases.]
[Your skill proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 5 slightly increases.]
[You have gained 23 experience points.]
He even harvested the underripe cherry tomatoes in order to use the Harvesting skill.
After picking all the cherry tomatoes in the ground field, Sejun went down to the cave with the animals, and then
Kreong!
Cuengi went into the pond to hunt.
“Iona, keep an eye on Cuengi.”
“Okay.”
Upon Sejun’s instructions, Iona left Sejun’s lap and Theo’s tail and followed Cuengi into the pond. With Iona’s magic skills, Cuengi wouldn’t be in danger.
[Master! Welcome!]
Flamie, waving its leaves, greeted Sejun.
“Sorry. I should visit more often. Isn’t it boring being here alone?”
[No! You’re here now, Master! And I have the Ents, so I’m okay!]
Flamie, as always, spoke sweetly.
Pat, pat.
Sejun stroked Flamie’s leaves. He was uneasy because Flamie seemed to grow slower compared to other crops.
[Hehehe. I feel good!]
Then,
Rumble.
The ground began to shake.
“Huh?!”
While Sejun quickly regained his balance, the ground stopped shaking.
“What happened? Did Cuengi cause trouble?”
[Well... I’m not sure.]
Sejun spent about 10 minutes stroking Flamie’s leaves and checking if the ground would shake again, but it was calm after that.
“Is everything okay?”
Relieved, Sejun started harvesting the cherry tomatoes again.
***
“Air Bubble!”
Iona used magic spell so that she and Cuengi could breathe underwater.
A transparent air bubble formed around their heads.
Kreong!
Cuengi, intrigued by the air bubble around his head, looked at Iona in admiration.
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. It’s not a big deal. Now, enjoy as much as you want.”
Kreong!
At Iona’s words, Cuengi energetically swam around the pond, hunting fish. Thanks to the air bubble, Cuengi, who gained courage, went down to the bottom of the pond.
Cuengi had always been curious because he was told never to go to the bottom when he was with his big brother, the black rabbit.
So, he reached the bottom of the pond.
Kreong?Aall newest chapters on
“What’s this?”
Following Cuengi, Iona arrived at the bottom of the pond and discovered a massive root stretching towards the Sea of Dimensions.
Then
Whoosh.
They could see a bright light flowing in from the roots on the side of the Sea of Dimensions.
Krueng?
Iona and Cuengi’s gaze followed the light.
And the light, entering into the massive root of the tree piercing through the ground. It was easy to tell whose root it was. There was only one tree here. It was the Flamie.
Rumble.
The tree’s root, having absorbed the light, grew and the ground shook.
“As expected of Sejun, you’ve been growing something this amazing!”
Iona was astonished by the massive root of Flamie that connected all the way to the Sea of Dimensions.
Munch munch.
Sejun was eating detoxifying green onions as a hangover cure. Although he liked makgeolli but didn’t particularly enjoy getting drunk.
Above all, he was scared that he might say something wrong to Kaiser if he got drunk. He had to keep his wits about him, as one mistake could cost him his life.
So, as a result of maintaining his sobriety by eating lots of detoxifying green onions...
-“Tch! We’ve run out of alcohol. It was fun drinking together.”
Having finished the makgeolli, Kaiser returned to the fountain.
“Guys, eat this.”
Sejun, who had been drinking with Kaiser, fed the rabbits detoxifying green onions to help them sober up.
Chew, chew...
Squeak...
Fortunately, thanks to Sejun, the rabbits were quickly able to regain their senses.
However, as night fell, Sejun regretted what he had done. The rabbits, refreshed from their naps, began mating activities all over the field throughout the night.
Squeal! Squeal!
Hoot! Hoot!
The panting sounds coming from all directions like surround sound.
“Be quiet, world. Silence!”
Iona, annoyed by the disturbance to her sleep, cast a magic spell to block the noise around Sejun’s house.
Thanks to her, Sejun was able to sleep peacefully, but for some reason, he felt uneasy.
***
Morning of the 266th day of being stranded.
“Alright”
When Sejun got up and went outside, only a few rabbits were wandering around. It was quiet.
“Hello, singles.”
Being out in the daytime meant they were singles. And there was no sign of the black rabbit among the group of singles.
You’ve grown up, black rabbit. Live well. Sejun blessed the black rabbit that had left the singles life and prepared breakfast.
Today’s breakfast was bread and cheese with soup. Of course, he grilled separate fish for Theo.
“Guys, let’s eat.”
“Give me the fish, meow!”
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Okay!”
Kreung!
At Sejun’s call, the animals that had had a peaceful night ran over.
Munch munch.
The animals were eagerly eating their breakfast.
“Okay. Eat a lot and regain your energy.”
Sejun served a generous breakfast to boost the morale of the singles.
Kreung!
Thanks to that, the happiest one was Cuengi.
“Cuengi, let’s eat all of this. Isn’t it great?”
Sejun, tried to win over Cuengi with food in a childish way.
While they were eating breakfast,
“Wow! Emil, look at this! It’s corn!”
“Oh! That’s right. Corncob full of kernels is a top-notch product.”
The raccoons were inspecting Sejun’s crops.
“Emil, come here and try this.”
Sejun, hearing Emil’s compliments about his corn, decided to offer his hospitality.
“Me?! Yes! Thank you!”
Emil wanted to refuse, but he couldn’t reject the gracious offer from the great black dragon. It might cause bigger trouble.
‘Chief Emil! You can do it!’
The other raccoons cheered for Emil, who was being called by Sejun.
At that moment,
“What are you doing? You guys should come too.”
When Sejun beckoned to the other raccoons...
“Yes!”
The raccoons, who had been cheering for Emil, rushed over.
And thus, they had a meal together.
“Here. This is the soup I made.”
“...Thank you.”
The raccoons, forcing smiles, ate the purple soup that Sejun handed to them. It was a truly unappetizing color.
However
“Oh!”
After a mouthful, such thoughts instantly vanished.
“It’s so delicious.”
“It’s really good!”
The raccoons began to eat the soup enthusiastically. It went well with the bread and cheese.
Moreover,
[You have consumed the Enhanced Purple SeP’s Carrot Soup.]
[Agility increases by 10.5 for 1 hour.]
There was even a buff after they finished the soup.
“Wow!”
“What’s this?!”
The raccoons were shocked to find that the food had a buff.
“Phuhuhut. Do you want it, meow?”
Theo chuckled, watching the raccoons.
