<[Episode 11] Jagalchi Market (3)>
“Who is harassing our Poppy!”
When Ha Dong-geon and his party’s headlamps shone on the area, the people who appeared were a group of elderly men and women in their fifties.
“yes?”
“Hey, turn off the lights! My eyes hurt!”
“Oh, sorry.”
They approached the Hadonggun party with a peaceful gait.
The ladies passed by Hadonggun’s party and looked at the state of the tree monster and started to get excited.
“Oh my, I wish I could do this, there’s a hole in it.”
“It must have hurt a lot.”
“Poppy, are you okay?”
Immediately after that, a warning was issued to the Ha Dong-gun party.
“Look! Is this what you did?”
“Ah… yes.”
“Wow, how can you make a still child like this?”
“…sorry.”
The serious atmosphere was briefly interrupted by cheers pouring out from the side.
“Look here! Poppy Yaga did it again.”
The old man who was talking to Ha Dong-geon also went to see the land sharks.
“Wow, my gosh, you’ve really gained weight.”
“It doesn’t taste that good.”
“Why are you being picky about cold rice and hot rice now? If it’s not good, then don’t eat it.”
“No, that’s not what I meant. Honestly, tuna tastes better that way.”
“Oh my gosh – you’re being a jerk. You’re being a jerk.”
As I listened to the familiar dialects being transmitted through the eyes of the Absolute Being, I felt like my tension was completely relieved.
‘I see…’
Everything made sense at once.
The existence of tree monsters that don’t attack people, and the enormous trees that grew only in our house.
‘You’ve awakened.’
It was immediately clear who had acquired such power.
‘grandfather’
My house has been full of plants since I was very young.
In the yard, trees and flowers changed their clothes with the seasons, and on the rooftop, various types of trees bore fruit with the seasons.
After my grandfather retired, a field grew on the rooftop, filled with green onions, onions, lettuce, eggplants, etc., and occasionally appeared on the dinner table.
I still vividly remember pouring water into the soil once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
‘Is that tree also part of Grandfather’s ability?’
A tree that doesn’t attack people,
I never would have guessed that it would be someone’s awakening ability.
I just thought it was some kind of coincidence.
That’s understandable, because while we’ve accepted thousands of people as citizens so far, the number of awakened people we’ve met is only five.
It was said that just waking up was an extremely bad chance.
But here, not only does he treat level 30 trees as subordinates, but he also has the ability to grow trees that are tens of meters tall and have unknown functions?
As far as I know, there is only one Awakened person with such abilities.
‘It’s just me.’
I was sure that no one had awakened to the same level of power as me, which is why I was so angry when I saw the tree that had taken over my house.
There will be plenty of monsters with that kind of power.
‘I never thought that there would be someone else like me who had awakened to this level of power.’
And that would be my family.
The odds of things going this well are lower than winning the lottery twice in a row.
Of course, with the American lottery odds,
‘Thank goodness. I’m really thankful.’
To be honest, I was convinced that my family was dead.
Because if you think about it even a little, it makes no sense.
Monsters in their late 20s frequently roam around, and monsters in their late 10s swarm the sky.
It was an environment where it was thought that there would be giant crustaceans in their early 30s, and maybe even more.
How on earth can an ordinary person survive in this environment?
I was already filled with a sense of loss and anger, ready to explode at any moment. In that situation, the sight of a giant tree growing where my house should have been was just the trigger.
But I never thought things would work out this well.
It was almost embarrassing to be so angry.
It was fortunate that the anger lasted only a few seconds, but if it had lasted just a little longer, it would have been a total disaster.
“haha.”
As I was smiling hollowly, Seo Ye-jin and Yoo Hye-rin asked me with worried tones.
“Jaehyun, what happened?”
“…Are you okay?”
It was unsettling to see him suddenly start laughing in vain while the operation was in progress.
“It’s okay. Nothing happened. Everyone is safe.”
Before they knew it, Ha Dong-geon and his group were helping dismantle the land shark.
As his level was high, he was able to quickly dismember the land shark thanks to his outstanding physical ability, and those around him were amazed at his appearance.

“Oh, it’s good to be young! If only I were 20 years younger…!”
Before we knew it, the Hadonggun party was naturally carrying luggage and moving with the middle-aged men and women.
I used the ring of communication towards them.
[Do you see that huge tree on your left? That’s my hometown.]
Ha Dong-geon, who understood the meaning of my words, opened his mouth.
“Excuse me, teachers, but may I ask where we are going now? I think we should go to where that tree is.”
“Huh? Even so, I’m still going to write?”
The man next to me raised his voice and asked.
“What? Are you an acquaintance of our village chief?”
After hearing that, I gave an order to Ha Dong-geon’s party.
[Ask the village chief what his name is.]
Hadong Geon immediately repeated what I said like a parrot, and the old man responded as if it was nothing.
“What’s our village chief’s name? He’s writing this in the form of a note.”
The moment I heard those words, a happy smile spread across my lips.
‘As expected from Grandpa.’
Lee Bong-yeol, that was my grandfather’s name.
The reason my last name is different from yours is because my grandfather was from my maternal side.
Since my family lived with my father’s parents since he got married, I also lived with my maternal grandparents since I was born.
‘I’m glad you’re safe.’
The closer I got to home, the more often I saw people.
It felt as if the area around here was on the verge of being invaded by monsters.
There were no broken buildings, no corpses strewn across the streets.
The more I checked them, the more at ease I felt.
“Let’s just stop by here for a moment.”
The space that used to be a parking lot in front of the house was turned into a warehouse, and there were carcasses of sea monsters such as land sharks and bluefin tuna.
Plus there were people who took care of them.
‘There are a lot of people.’
The number of people gathered here alone was estimated to be over a hundred.
Most of them were old men and women, or grandfathers and grandmothers. This was because the town of Nambumin-dong itself was a city with almost no young people and a very high average age.
Perhaps because many of them were originally engaged in the fishing industry, the sight of them cleaning fish seemed very familiar.
Nearby, there were people who had spread out their stalls and were eating raw fish right away, and the delicious smell of fish grilling on a fire wafted in the air.
It was almost as if the main character of Jagalchi Market had moved here.
“Let’s leave it here.”
“Did you catch it again?”
“Yeah, that’s right. My son is new here and he must be hungry, so let’s get him some raw fish.”
The man holding the sashimi knife deftly sliced off the flesh of the land shark and placed it in a bowl and handed it over.
“Okay, over here!”
It was a proper plate of sashimi, prepared with soy sauce, wasabi, and vinegar.
“Let’s sit down and eat.”
“What about chopsticks?”
“No, just eat it with your bare hands, like this, umm~”
I quickly summoned the chopsticks I had at home and brought them over to him.
The Hadonggun party naturally picked up their chopsticks, but the men and women who saw the chopsticks appearing out of thin air were startled and made a fuss.
“What did you do just now? Are you a wizard or something?”
“Wow, this is amazing.”
Amid the burdensome attention, Ha Dong-geon’s party took a bite of the fish each.
“Huh?~”
“Hmm!”
It was sashimi made from freshly caught fish.
It couldn’t be tasteless.
“it is delicious!”
“oh my god. “
“It’s been a long time since I’ve had raw fish.”
“Okay, okay, eat a lot.”
For the party where Ha Dong-gun eats with happy faces, cola, cider, and even cold water were summoned there.
Okay then.
“Oh, no?!”
“Isn’t that cola?”
“Cider! Cider!”
The adults who had gathered around Ha Dong-geon’s party showed a strong reaction.
The party members, including Hadong Geon, handed the summoned drinks towards them and spoke.
“Would you like some?”
“Is that okay?”
“Of course.”
“Hey, hey! You should give it to me first! I took such good care of you!”
“Yours is here too, sir.”
People who received cola and cider drank them excitedly.
I don’t know if I should say this to older people, but I thought it was cute how they ate it sparingly, one sip at a time.
Seeing that, I snickered and bought a large quantity of cola and cider and summoned them next to me. In addition, I set out a large quantity of food materials including water, ramen, rice, eggs, and milk.
“no!”
“What the heck is this?!”
“Hey, are you giving us all this to eat?”
Hadong Geon nodded with a faint smile.
“I think so. It seems like a gift that Jaehyun is giving to the teachers.”
“Jesus Crisis, who is Jaehyun? I should bow down to you. Which of you are you?”
“Oh, he’s not here.”
The old man, who was preparing to kneel on the floor at Ha Dong-geon’s words, asked back with a dumbfounded expression.
“What did you say?”
After thinking for a while, I asked again, as I couldn’t come to a conclusion.
“What, is it even Jesus, someone you know named Jaehyun? If he’s not here, is he in heaven?”
Owen Joo laughed and joked.
“Maybe that’s really the case.”
The people in the warehouse suddenly became busy because of the materials that appeared out of thin air.
“Everyone, move this to the storage room!”
“Mr. Kim! Come here!”
Meanwhile, the old man who had been talking to Ha Dong-geon’s party from the very beginning asked.
“Hey, do you have anything like butane gas or a gas burner?”
I bought them straight from the store and released them.
“Oh my! It’s hot!”
The man shouted at the people in the warehouse.
“Look at this! This is what I asked for!”
“What? Gas?”
“Gas? Really?”
The reaction was especially intense on the side where the fish was being grilled.
There, they were cooking by making a fire by chopping wood.
Naturally, the appearance of gas burners and butane gas was bound to turn heads.
“Really?”
“Here! Bring this here! Let’s have some spicy fish stew together!”
“Ramen, let’s boil ramen first!”
The whole warehouse was in an uproar.
That was when.
Woodduck-
Something ominous started to sound.
The sound that extended from the warehouse roof to the entrance was the sound of tree roots growing.
A man came down from the tree roots and shouted.
“Wow, why is it so noisy?”
An old man with half his head bald and wearing thick magnifying glasses,
A strong presence emanated from his stubborn face.
As soon as I saw his face, I couldn’t help but be moved.
‘grandfather…!’
And at the same time,
[The vassals encountered the bloodline of the absolute being in the corner of the house.]
[Unlocks the power of bloodlines.]
『Name: Lee Bong-yeol (Lv. 55)
Title: [Bloodline][Cousin][Druid]
