[Item: Purifying Tree ()

Type: Tree

It is a good tree to purify the unclean. It has a delicate floral scent.

Status: Young

Time Remaining until the fruit ripens: 6 Months]

6 months?

What, six months?

6 months is by no means a long time for a normal tree to bear fruit. But so far, Yggdrasils fruits and Dungeon Sugarcane have grown in just one day, so why is this the only thing that takes six months!

The quest is just a quest, but at this rate, I cant give the customer a new menu. Is there any way..

Tiling!

[New entry has been updated in Ether-Wiki.]

At that moment, a system notification sounded quickly. They give me a hint after a long time, so lets just obediently accept it.

When I accessed Ether-Wiki and checked the Latest Update column, I saw one new item that wasnt there before.

How to Promote the Growth of Crops

You want to make your crops grow faster. You are a K-gamer who is not satisfied if you do not progress quickly. You need to skip all the letters in order to be satisfied.

Huh, is it jus me or is there really a grudge that can be felt in the encyclopedias explanation?

Anyway, I calmly clicked [Continue Reading].

Hello~ This is Ether-Wiki.

Today I bring you information on how to promote the growth of crops.

We will deliver the necessary information to The Eligible, so please dont forget to read it until the end.

Of course, it takes time to bear fruit!

Did you know that?

But you want to finish the quest as soon as possible, right?

Thats why, today!

Make special fertilizer for The Eligible who wants to grow crops quickly.

(ellipsis)

Today, we learned how to make a special fertilizer.

If it was helpful, please access the Ether-Wiki. ^^

What kind of viral blogging..

As if it had been copied from somewhere, there was only one line of information that I wanted in a feast of long and insincere texts.

Thats a relief. I can prepare it right away.

By the way, this Ether-Wiki seems to update information according to my actions. The notification pops up every time I do something.

It seems that such an explanation came out when I first logged in.

CantI figure out how to save the Blue Celaeno Flower through this wiki?

I remembered the image of Choi Cedric, whom I met at the farm yesterday.

As soon as I appeared, he pretended to be fine, but the expression on his face looked depressed because of the flower that was about to wither and die.

It has nothing to do with me. Its irrelevant, but.

It bothers me that his family is sick.

If the flow goes as it has been, the system might tell me. Well, lets do what I can first.

I left the space and took out a paper box that was stuck in the warehouse. In the meantime, a lot of the contents gathered, so the box was quite heavy.

Kwon Ri, what are you going to do about that?

Choi Yichan arrived just in time to move the box inside.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Huh? Ah, Im going to use it as fertilizer.

That?

The ingredient of the fertilizer told by Ether-Wiki was the coffee grounds left over after brewing coffee. The garbage bag fell off and I was collecting it without throwing it away, and it turned out well.

Give it to me. Ill move it.

Choi Yichan picked up the box and asked where to go.

However, we soon ran into a problem. The blue entrance to the space on the wall was invisible to Choi Yichan.

Waeooong (Of course, do you think this is a place where anyone can come in)!

.Is that so?

Naturally, I thought anyone could come in.

Kiyaoong (Me, the entry to this space is only allowed to those who have been approved by the agent who runs the system)!

Then approve it.

Meoooong (That its not that easy)..

I knew it. Thats right.

Waeooong (Dont look at me with eyes that say, Its useless, but Ive done well so lets just accept it because its pitiful)!

Ah, I got caught.

Kyagyakyaeong!

So, I told Choi Yichan to wait and tried to lift the box.

Im sorry. Im not very helpful.

A, thats nonsense. Youve already helped me so much.

I patted his shoulder to tell him not to mind because he was helpful enough already, but Choi Yichan looked disheartened.

At best I thought I would be of more help to you.

The words were swallowed in a sigh.

Whats the matter?

Choi Yichan shook his head sideways. His frizzy hair, reminiscent of a puppy, shook.

I will wait here. Go.

There doesnt seem to be any color in the smiling face.

I told him to cheer up because it was okay again and went into the space.

Coffee grounds were gently sprinkled around the planted sapling. The soft light from the soil was absorbed by the sapling and the status window was updated.

[Item: Purifying Tree ()

Type: Tree

It is a good tree to purify the unclean. It has a delicate floral scent.

Status: Growing

Time Remaining until the fruit ripens: 1 Day]

Done. This is it.

The next day, safely, the lemon Ah, no, I should call it the fruit of Purifying Tree.

It has a yellow color, a size that fits in one hand, a round shape, and a sweet scent. No matter how I look at it, it looks exactly like a lemon. Lets call it fake lemon.

The tree grew quite large overnight, and when I picked all the ripe fake lemons, it was a considerable amount. Fake lemons piled up like a mountain in a large bowl. The inside of the store was filled with a sweet and sour scent.

I declared in a solemn voice, with a fake lemon in one hand and baking soda in the other.

So, are you all ready?

Yeah, I am.

Nyaaa (Of course)!

Kkyuuu!

A temporary part-timer (characteristic: S-class hunter) and the two others answered energetically.

I decide to make Lemon Chung with all the picked fake lemons.

If I leave it, itll only expire.

I need lemon syrup to make lemonade anyway, so its good to make a lot and drink it over and over again.

So today, we are going to deal with this mountain of fake lemons together.

It is cumbersome because of the large amount, but it is not difficult to make lemon chung. The first thing to do is to clean the fake lemon.

See, this is how you do it.

I soaked the fake lemon in water with baking soda and washed it with my hands. After watching me, Choi Yichan also dipped the fake lemon in water.

Eung, like this.

Squelch.

The fake lemon was crushed in Choi Yichans palm because he put too much strength.

Ahhhhhh!

As a result, the juice of the fake lemon flew into Choi Yichans eyes accurately.

Huk, Yichan-ah, are you okay?

Ugh, it stings, heugh.

Hurry, wash it with water. Hurry.

Thanks to his strong S-class body, he got better soon, but.

Come on, lets do it again. Just relax your hands and wash them gently. Gently.

Eung, gently.

Squelch.

Aaaaaah!

..

The same thing happened over and over again, and only after both eyes became bright red did Choi Yichan give up washing the lemon.

It seems that the strength is not properly controlled yet. Life isnt easy even for an S-class.

Haha Im sorry.

With a gloomy expression, he hung down his head.

I quickly pushed his back, fearing that he might become as depressed as yesterday.

Its okay, you can help me with something else. Just go over there and rest, okay?

After leaving Choi Yichan, who retires like that, the remaining labor force is.

Waeoong, Waeoong (It smells good)!

A cat is playing while rolling a fake lemon with its front paw.

Kyuuuu!

A slime that spreads its body like a membrane, swallows the fake lemon, and then spits out only the seeds.

Lets just do it by myself.

Now it is just one F-class cafe owner with one power and two pets.

Its weird. I decided to live a life of working less and resting more, specifically, working two days a week and taking five days off.

Why am I washing a large amount of fake lemons after picking them up in the morning?

I felt more and more drawn into this system and quests.

Maybe Im the problem.?

After washing the fake lemon thoroughly in water mixed with baking soda, I rinsed it once with water, and the cleaning process was finished.

If its a bought lemon, Ill need to wash it more, but since this is a freshly picked fruit, this should suffice.

Next, it was time to cut the fake lemon into slices. After wiping off the water, cut the top of the fake lemon and discard it, then cut it into 0.3 cm thick slices.

Choi Yichan, who was aiming for an opportunity to intervene, promptly offered to help. But..

Puck!

He had to give up because the fake lemon was minced instead of sliced.

What, isnt it okay because that means you can cut monsters that arent fake lemons well?

Im sorry, again..

Its okay. Can you play with Mieum and Lime for a bit?

BGM is heard behind my back as I sliced the fake lemon.

Tadadadak!

Unyaaaaa!

Kyuuu! Kyuuu!

Ahaha, you guys, one at a time.

Through the window in front of me, I can see the huge stone wall of the Great Dungeon Abyss, and theres a lively cry behind me. Theres also a tak, tak, tak sound as the lemon was cut in cutting board.

Its so peaceful.

Ah, just to avoid misunderstanding, Im not saying that I hate peace.

A life of eating well, resting well, playing well, and cutting fake lemons into thin slices. It is truly a life suitable for a regressor. This F-class regressor wants to rest.

Remove the seeds from the sliced fake lemon and place it in a large bowl. Then, pour sugar equal to the weight of the fake lemon and mix well. It took quite a while to finish it up to here because of the large amount.

While waiting for the sugar to melt for a while, I got a little hungry.

Well, let me try one.

I picked up a slice of fake lemon mixed with sugar and took it to my mouth.

!

The first thing I tasted was a thrilling sour taste. Then, the sweetness that neutralizes the sourness filled the mouth, and the rich citrus scent cleared my head.

It is delicious to eat as it is, but it will taste even better if it is aged.

After boiling it in hot water, wiping the sterilized jar well, and then filling it with sugar-pickled fake lemon, the making of lemon chung completed.

I looked at the lemon chung jar neatly placed on the shelf. Just looking at the golden shining jar in the midday light gave me peace of mind.

Well, its peaceful. Really.

***

I was alone in the store that evening when I promised the regular customer a taste of the new menu.

Its because Choi Yichan, who was here with me until now, has returned.

Are you going now? Where are you going?

Hahahaha! No, its okay! I have a place to sleep!

What? Arent you still looking for a house? Where are you living now?

The earth, the wind is with me! Dont worry.

Wait, dont say anything weird. Where do you really spend your time? Yichan-ah?

Im going, see you tomorrow!

But he left only a cheerful smile behind.

Is he really okay? Hes a little strange these days.

My friends Hunter Grade went up and he suddenly became weird, what should I do?

Ill question him in more detail tomorrow, anyway.

Welcome.

That thing, please give me what we talked about before.

The customer in the fishing vest showed up on time. Without saying anything else, he sat down and asked for the drink.

Did you expect it that much? Then, I have to live up to your expectations.

Translators Corner:

Lemon Chung: Chung means preserved with sugar in a jar. Taken from (as usual) Wikipedia, Chung/Cheong (; ) is a name for various sweetened foods in the form of syrups, marmalades, and fruit preserves. In Korean cuisine, cheong is used as a tea base, as a honey-or-sugar-substitute in cooking, as a condiment, and also as an alternative medicine to treat the common cold and other minor illnesses. Originally, the word cheong (; ) was used to refer to honey in Korean royal court cuisine.
