Chapter 12

In front of me stood a coffee tree that had grown twice my height.

It is full of red and luscious fruits.

‘Obviously it was only my palm, how could this be?’

It was the best coffee tree that fully absorbed healing water, miraculous light, and clean air.

When I picked one of the coffee berries and put it in my mouth, the sweet flesh burst out.

‘The sweetness is amazing.’

The pulp surrounding the coffee bean has a cherry-like taste.

Peel off the flesh and inside are coffee beans.

‘If it’s coffee, I know something else.’

After retiring as a film director, he took some barista classes, hoping to open a small coffee shop.

He didn’t have time and he listened a little, but in that brief moment he was able to acquire a lot of knowledge.

He also read stories about coffee processing then.

I picked a handful of coffee berries and laid them out on the soft floor.

Dry it to the point where only about 20% of the moisture remains.

Then the letters started appearing in front of me again.

『Forest thank you for your gift.』

『The forest upgrades from the qualification of a customer to the qualification of a likable person.』

『You can look around for a person you like for a week.』

“The forest wants to give a present to the person she likes.”

Even the forest seemed to think of the coffee tree as a gift.

Thanks to this coffee tree, the forest was getting bigger and richer.

As soon as the letters disappeared, dandelion spores flew in and started a strange flight.

As they lined up, they seemed to be drawing something in the air.

At first I couldn’t figure out what shape it was, but I gradually found out that it was a letter.

“Ta… … la… … Wow… … ?”

Although the shape was slightly distorted, it was clearly a letter to follow.

‘What is it, Dandelion Hall knows how to write.’

Curious, they headed where they were leading.

He took me to a large tree in the middle of the forest.

Near it, I could see small white flowers in full bloom.

Dandelion spores were flying dizzyingly nearby.

『The forest presents a wind flower to the person you like.』

‘Wind flower?’

It was the first flower I had ever heard of.

“What should I do with this? cut it… … Shall I put it on my head?”

I put a windflower in my head.

The dandelion stalks flew dizzyingly.

‘Isn’t that?’

I drew letters in the air again.

“bruise… … blue… … this… … ?”

stupid?

It wasn’t so funny.

Then again, the scepters who draw letters in the air.

“Indian ink… … uh… … ? Do you want to eat this?”

When I asked the question, the dandelion stalks began to glow red as if they were stuffy and excited.

“Okay. ok You can eat it.”

I put the wind flower in the mouth of the scepters.

Then a pleasant wind started blowing around my body.

Her hair and hem of her clothes fluttered softly.

Rather than flapping, it wobbled as if it were floating in space without gravity.

『Windflower can block the attack of fungal spores for 2 hours.』

“Can this stop mold spores?”

If that’s true, that would be great.

I was able to get out of the cumbersome raincoat that wrapped around my body, and I was able to roam the moldy forest without wearing a mask.

That alone makes getting in and out of this forest much easier.

I picked up some windflowers and put them in my pocket.

Dandelion spores lined up like a mouse cursor and pointed to other plants.

“Hey, you can make arrows too. you are funny But what else is this?”

『The forest presents the red salt vinegar to the person you like.』

『Red salt vinegar, the liquid extracted from the leaves will give off its charm.』

‘Red saltweed? I’ve heard of red salt, but have you ever heard of red salt vinegar?

Then, Jin-ah Kim’s face came to mind.

‘If the situation is what I thought it would be, would this be of any help?’

I plucked a few leaves of the red rosemary and put them in my pocket.

The dandelion spores pointed to a different plant this time.

『The forest presents the heartfelt candle to the person you like.』

“If you apply the essence extracted from the leaves of Jinshimcho, you will be able to tell the truth.”

‘Oh, I’m serious… … This is what the real estate manager needs.’

In addition, we received a few more gifts, such as dragon vinegar and calming vinegar.

‘Busy, busy.’

Everything seemed necessary, so I put it in the pocket of the leg, and there was no place to put it any more.

“now stop. There are too many to put them in.”

The pockets were bulging and it was ridiculous.

This forest gave me more for one little thing.

“Now we have to test it.”

What I needed now was a wind flower.

I put a windflower in my mouth.

At the same time, I quickly took off my plastic clothes and headed to the mold forest without wearing a mask.

The effect was terrific.

The wind induced by the windflower prevented the mold spores from reaching near my body.

Breathing was much more free.

It felt like a thin film was wrapped around my body.

I turned around and gave a thumbs up towards the woods.

Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

As if in response to this, the forest shook with the sound of the wind.

The dandelion spores seemed to be happy, too, and they were flying around the forest.

I went back to the forest and slept with a light heart.

『Acquire the ‘simulation through imagination’ ability.』

Assembling the rear car required some skill.

Apparently, the basic frame of the rear car was made of iron, so welding skills were also required.

I already found a video on welding techniques and kept it in my head.

‘shall we start?’

That way, I went back to the dimensional gate, closed my eyes and imagined the process for a moment before starting work.

just as expected.

A rear car with a plastic house was being built with my own hands.

I really wondered if I was doing it right.

And done!

‘Wow, is this really my hand made? Great.’

Admiration for a moment, I loaded the laundry piled up nearby on the truck and headed back to the forest.

Now that I was given a week as a good friend of the forest, there was no need to work on time.

I took off the plastic clothes and it was much more comfortable to do activities.

Arriving at the creek, I soaked the laundry in water and inspected the dried coffee berries.

It was dried with adequate moisture left.

During the waiting time, I peeled off the pulp of the coffee berries.

After washing in the stream, all the remaining slime was removed.

After drying in the sun one more time, only the coffee beans with the parchment (inner peel) remained.

The finished green beans were well wrapped in plastic.

Laundry soaked in the creek found itself like a lie.

I took out the red salt vinegar and the heartworm vinegar and kneaded it until juice came out.

‘This should be tested first.’

Pass because there is no target for Red Salt Plant.

I put the essence of Jinsimcho on the clothes and tried it.

I didn’t know what to say if it was buried too much, so I applied a little.

『Jinshim Vinegar is effective.』

“Be honest in everything and tell the hidden truth.”

Even the dandelion spores were still in the air without moving because they were nervous.

tense moment.

Finally, my mouth started to open.

“I… … I’m hungry.”

huh?

Of course, I vaguely thought that I was hungry, but this is the truth I want to say.

The dandelion spores were also excited and began to fly dizzy.

“Now that I see it, I’m really hungry. I’ll hurry up and go home and eat.”

It was hung on a clothesline and dried in the sun.

In the meantime, dandelion spores approached and started writing in the air.

I still don’t know what the article is about, so I’m just frustrated.

Watching them flounder, a good idea came to mind.

When I returned home, I took out the Korean dictionary from the attic and went through the portal again.

I couldn’t be this comfortable because I didn’t have to wear a raincoat and a mask.

“Study this. Then it will be easier for us to talk.”

When I opened the Korean dictionary in front of the dandelion spores, there was an uproar that I would see it first.

Now my body will be free, I will have a lot of time.

It is no longer necessary to limit the radius of action to the forest.

After picking a few more windflowers, I left the forest and walked further along the road.

It was just a fungal forest with no end.

Even the distant city would have been full of mold spores.

Found and looked at something like a car standing on the road.

However, most of them were destroyed and no traces could be found.

‘Still, there must be some that have escaped the attack of the fungal spores.’

There were no signposts, and there were no letters to tell which country it was.

‘I wish I knew where on Earth this is.’

Soon after, he saw a grotesque and gigantic forest of molds blocking the road.

I couldn’t go any further.

‘If you want to go to the city, you have no choice but to fly… … Should I give up?’(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Today I went back to the forest.

Dandelion spores were still flying frantically while flipping through the Korean dictionary.

When I touched the laundry, it was already dry.

I rolled up my clothes, put them back on the truck, and left the forest.

“Guys, see you tomorrow.”

I said hello, but the dandelion spores did not pretend to be interested.

“I am passionate. Aren’t you supposed to memorize all of that?”

By the time they crossed the portal and returned home, time had already passed into the dawn.

The laundry was wrapped in plastic engraved with the name of the movie laundry and hung on hangers.

In particular, we paid more attention to Kim Jin-ah’s school uniform, which will arrive early tomorrow morning.

‘I can’t even sleep, would you like to roast coffee?’

I took out a handful of green coffee beans that were well wrapped in plastic.

It usually takes about two weeks to dry naturally, but in the forest, it dries quickly and moderately.

Natural drying had the advantage of sweet, flavor, and body feeling because the ingredients of the flesh permeate into the green beans during the drying process.

However, depending on the condition of the pulp, the color of the green beans may be uneven, and the unique odours and odors of the pulp may permeate, resulting in poor quality.

However, the quality of coffee harvested and dried in the forest was completely different.

Peel off the remaining parchment, put it on a frying pan and start frying.

Fortunately, there is a double-sided pan, so I flip it over and fry it evenly for about 10 minutes.

The house was instantly filled with the smell of coffee.

‘Oh, the coffee smells really good.’

It really didn’t smell like coffee in this world.

It was not only because the beans were fresh, but also because of the scent filled with the energy of the forest.

‘I can drink this for three days. Next time, I’ll have to come back and give each of the guests a cup of coffee.’

I took out a grinder and a hand drip set from the cupboard.

My love for coffee was greatly influenced by her mother.

It was her mother’s only luxury to buy fresh coffee every morning and brew it every morning.

As she got older, she had a bad heart and stopped drinking her coffee, but the memory was still vivid.

One cup of coffee and one mint candy.

Just like her mother, I took out a mint candy, put it on a plate, grinded the beans and lowered it slowly.

A stronger scent than when roasting beans stimulated my nose.

I finished the coffee, lifted the cup and brought it to my mouth, slowly savoring the aroma.

‘Oh, Shit. It’s so delicious!’

It was so delicious that it made me swear.

‘It’s a waste to eat alone… … .’

In an instant, Shin Se-yeon’s face came to mind.

‘Seyeon seems to be good for chasing sleep as she goes to work from dawn.’

Time passed quickly after drinking coffee and doing housework.

He made his coffee again, put it in the thermos, and headed to the pool.
