Chapter 30
Love is a black hole
Editor: Aaghna
Not long ago, a flower shop opened in front of the alley where the restaurant was located .
A flower shop in this era meant that romance still existed in this world . Passing by the flower shop and walking into the alley, the colourful fragrant flowers made one feel good .
The only problem was… the owner of the flower shop .
The owner was a woman who looked less than twenty years old . She looked like she had just graduated .
Her long brown hair reached her waist . Her big bright eyes like a puppy, and two cheeks with a light pinkish blush radiated youth . Anyone could tell that this woman was cute .
“Sir, sir meat, please . ”
She was an Awakener .
“Meat?”
“Yes meat . I would like some meat . ”
She blinked her big eyes and spoke .
-Class: Plant regeneration
-Class attainment: Medium
-Acquisition capability: Medium
The Awakener of plant regeneration .
The ability to regenerate plants was very rare . It was usually the kind that caused plants around them to grow rapidly or move .
In the Esfan continent, a Master of plant regeneration class created a rose basin around the area with ten rose beds, preventing the armies of the Devil from advancing .
Anyway, she was an interesting guest .
“I’m home!”
Then Khan came back, slamming the door loudly .
Khan bought a lot of vegetables from the market . Meat and vegetables was a good combination
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
When she saw Khan’s shopping bags, her expression turned to more of a depressed one .
Khan leaned against the table for a moment and then ran to the bathroom after dropping the shopping bags beside the table . It looked urgent .
Cheol-ho was removing the meat out of the refrigerator when he heard a strange noise .
-Crunch
“Hmm?”
Cheol-ho turned around and asked, “What is going on?”
“…… . ”
The scallions were walking around .
The roots of the green onions walked around the floor as if they were models .
What about the onions?
They were rolling around like a soccer ball . After the two onions bumped into each other, the floor of the restaurant was in a mess as they rolled back in the opposite direction .
“…… . . ”
Cheol-ho sighed .
With her head down, she rolled her eyes .
Tangerine, who was rubbing her eyes, picked up a walking green onion on her way to the bathroom . Tangerine hated green onions . If there were leftovers, her dad would scold her .
She stopped for a moment as if trying to think of a word .
“Drink . ”
Tangerine grabbed the scallions and walked in drowsy steps towards the bathroom and looked at the toilet .
“Water . ”
Tangerine, who was thinking for a moment, put green onions in the toilet . As if to wash it .
“Wash wash . ”
Tangerine washed the scallions well in the toilet water, and then threw them out . She then yawned and climbed onto the toilet .
The scallions ran away in a hurry .

“You’re an Awakener . ”
“Yes… . . hehe . ”
“This is difficult . ”
-Chop
The knife cut the onion in half . The onion, which was struggling with a strange noise, quieted down . Cheol-ho cut the scallions in half too .
“I feel sorry for eating those vegetables . ”
“……I’ve seen a lot of weird people, but I’ve never seen a guest like you before . ”
Anyway, there were many unusual people .
Who was this woman?
He was sure she was a third class Awakener . With such abilities, she couldn’t be less than a third class .
“Sir, what kind of meat is on the menu today?”
“Oh, sirloin . From…… . a cow . ”
“Sirloin! Steak, right?”
“Yes . How do you want it to be grilled?”
She smiled again while moving her legs in excitement . She thought about it for a moment and then opened her eyes in enthusiasm .
“Medium!”
“It’s a good choice . ”
She must really be an interesting guest . When Cheol-ho was around, even people who didn’t like to talk, talked a lot
-Sizzle
Cheol-ho sliced the sirloin thinly and placed it on a frying pan . Sirloin steak is a food that is suitable to eat because of its rich juices and unique scent . It was also a food that Cheol-ho made often .
Rub the whole garlic on your palm and then rub your palms on the meat on both the sides while cooking them well .
When the steak was done and placed on the plate, the door of the restaurant opened .
“Hello . ”
It was Shadow Cat . She looked a bit tired today .
“Oh, welcome . ”
“I’d like a salad . ”
Shadow Cat sat at the table, humming and swaying her head side to side .
“…… . ”
“…… . ”
The two women faced each other .
Suddenly, the florist turned her head to the other side . She dropped her head slightly, whistling as if nothing had happened .
That would look suspicious to anyone .
“Hold on…”
Shadow Cat stood up and glanced at the girl’s face from the side .
“Hick!”
The girl turned her head to the other side .
The Shadow Cat turned her face towards the side that she faced .
“Aren’t you Flower Girl from Gentlemen’s team?”
“Yeah Hahaha . ”
“I see . ”
“…… . ”
“But the Gentleman is in Seocho . Why are you here?”
“…… . ”

She looked depressed and sullen .
“The steak is here . ”
Cheol-ho pushed a plate towards her . The savory smell of the mixed sauce stimulated the nose .
She drooled as she looked at Shadow Cat for no reason .
“Eat, eat . ”
The Shadow Cat patted her on the shoulder .
“Salad . ”
Cheol-ho also pushed out a salad plate in front of the Shadow Cat . The two women ate the food they ordered quietly .
There was a carrot cut for decoration on the steak plate . She rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers .
Suddenly the carrots sprang to their feet and walked out of the plate in a row . Looking at the ‘sliced carrots’ whose bodies were covered with sauce, Cheol-ho lowered his head to hold back his laughter .
Anyway, now she could enjoy her steak .
She took a bite without cutting or dipping it in anything . Then she sprinkled a bit of salt, dipped it in the sauce and took another bite .
As a meat lover, customers who knew how to properly eat were always welcome .
She ate the sirloin steak quietly but hurriedly . Only then did she feel better . After drinking a glass of ice water, she spoke .
“I got fired . ”
“Huh?”
Shadow Cat, who was eating a crunchy salad, turned her head .
“I got fired because I made a big mistake in the dungeon . ”
“What’s the mistake?”
“……a dungeon full of plant monsters . I couldn’t kill them with my own hands . So I ran away…”
“Oh my God . ”
‘You deserve to be fired . ’
Cheol-ho laughed loudly .
“So my tanker guy got hurt . It wasn’t serious, but…”
“Oh yeah?”
Shadow Cat chuckled as if it were funny .
“……Captain told me to get out of here if I’m going to do that . He’s very angry . ”
“He can’t help but get angry . You almost killed your colleague, didn’t you?”
“……yeah . ”
“A guardian shouldn’t act like that . ”
The Shadow Cat hit the bull’s eye .
‘She’s brilliant . ’
Flower girl flinched and shrugged her shoulders
“That’s right . ”
“Did you apologize?”
“……I’m scared . ”
“So you ran away and set up a flower shop at the end of that alley?”
“Well… . that’s my home . I’m from here . ”
“Running won’t solve anything, Miss Flower . ”
Flower Girl felt sullen again and looked down at her feet .
After a moment, she raised her head .
“You’re right . I’ll go back right away and apologize!”

“Yes, yes . ”
Suddenly, Shadow Cat spoke
“Why is your name Flower Girl?”
“Hmm . . well my Boss always called me that . ”
“Gentleman did? That little boy… . ? Call me sister then . ”
“Sister . ”
Flower Girl laughed .
Just when such a leisurely meal was going on, a strange sound came from afar . Cheol-ho turned his head towards the noise . The sound was coming closer and was becoming more audible .
Suddenly,
-Gasp!
The faint cry of the birds could be heard by everyone in the restaurant .
-Bam
The door opened .
At the door of the restaurant stood a man with slickly combed hair who was dressed in a very stylish black suit . He seemed to be thirty years old . He had a cold look on his face .
“Here you are . ”
A cold, low-pitched voice came out of his mouth . It suited his appearance .
The man trudged along and put his hand on Flower Girl’s head .
She was startled .
“Great!”
“You’re here too, it’s been a long time . ”
“What!”
Cheol-ho guessed that this man was Gentleman .
He had heard about Gentleman several times .
Outside the open dining-room, three eagles were sitting in an orderly manner on the fence, flapping their wings .
“I don’t have time . It’s a new dungeon raid . ”
“Huh I-”
Gentleman grabbed her shoulders and lifted her up in a flash . Facing her, he spoke .
“Are you thinking of retirement? If you want that, fill out the formal paperwork . I’ll take it . ”
“Ah no no its . . ”
Flower Girl burst into tears .
“I’m useless and I’m just a nuisance…”
Gentleman sighed briefly .
“Everyone makes mistakes . So do I, and so do you . If you admit it and prevent more mistakes, you’ll develop . ”
“Hey!”
Gentleman neatly ignored Shadow Cat’s words .
He hesitated for a moment and then added .
“And when I say to go out, the only thing that goes out is candles . ”
That was certainly a joke .
You could tell from the look on Gentleman’s face, which was a little elated .
Cheol-ho thought, “Yes, the candle will blow out . ”
Cheol-ho felt old when he thought about how funny he found this joke .
Shadow Cat felt the same . Older people have something in common .
“Let’s go . We don’t have time to procrastinate . ”
“Hmm . “
“Are you the boss?” Gentleman looked at Cheol-ho and asked .
“Yes . ”
“Sang-hu talked a lot about you . This is a good restaurant . ”
He must be talking about Machangsa .
“Yes . ”
“I’ll be back as a guest next time . I’ll pay the bill . ”
Instead of answering, Cheol-ho grinned and lowered his head slightly .
“Goodbye . ”
“Let’s go, Flower Girl . ”
“Boss, that nickname is no longer…”
“Flower Girl, let’s go!”
Gentleman, with Flower Girl on his side, left the restaurant . It seemed like she enjoyed the nickname ‘Flower Girl . ’
Anyways, being young must be nice .
As they left, one of the three eagles grew in size .
Gentleman put his left foot on the ground, and rode on the eagle .
-Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The eagle roared loudly as it flapped its wings .
Gentleman was from a class called the ‘hunters’ and controlling eagles was one of his specialties .
The two other eagles flew like guards to the great eagle, and disappeared into the sky .
“……”
Shadow Cat, who was left alone, just chewed the crunchy salad as if she was fighting with the salad . Soon she shook her head .
“Tired, tired . ”
She glanced at the kitchen behind Cheol-ho with her eyes glistening .
“What’s wrong with your nephew there?”
“Hmm?”
Turning his head, Khan snuck behind the wall of the kitchen and looked at her . He was startled and took a deep breath, clearing his voice .
“Ah, ah”
The Shadow Cat smiled at Khan . She had a pretty smile that could make anyone dizzy just by looking at it . She stood up, holding out a clean salad plate .
“I’ll be leaving now . May I have the bill?”
Khan had been standing there blankly ever since she left . Cheol-ho asked Khan while stirring a well-boiled oxtail soup in a pot .
“What’s wrong?”
Khan stood still with a bewildered face and then suddenly spoke .
“Cheol-ho . ”
“What?”
“I’m in love . ”
“…… . ”
Cheol-ho asked, taking out the ladle from the pot and pouring some soup into a soup bowl .
“Since when?”
“Since today . ”
