Chapter 1042 – [Winter of Growth]

Knowing that Mrs. Kim’s life was short-lived, Eden visited the hospital whenever he had free time.

Fruits from the Garden of Eden……. Oh, of course, not the ones that prolong life, such as nectarines, but the ones that are nutritious and delicious. Was passing the time

At the same time, she serves as Eden’s education. She has no practice, but she is Eden and does not need her practice itself. This is because she already has her talents and qualities beyond those of Ms. Kim in her prime.

What is needed is knowledge. As knowledge is power, Eden was learning her lack of knowledge from Mrs. Kim.

“Some shamans have the karma of exorcism, but that doesn’t mean they only deal with ghosts or evil spirits. Sometimes they deal with people.”

“A person?”

“Eden wonders if you need anything, but a good shaman can change people’s fortunes. Have you heard of the saying that salpuri is good?”

“No, but what is salpuri?”

“First of all, you should know what flesh is. Flesh is also called divine fire, but it refers to the energy that people or things affect. It is also related to salt.”

Causality or will. Is it something like that… It seemed similar to him, like Manryu Gwijong, who is said to be connected as one at the end.

It was the first time I had heard of this related story in my long reincarnation, so it was quite fun to hear.

“People who are born with such a divine nature are often referred to as people who live in four weeks.

“Ah, I’ve heard of disgrace.”

“Yes, and an excellent shaman can deal with such flesh. There is a salpuri gut that unleashes one’s natural, entangled flesh, or even more difficult, but there is a salnaerim gut that grants a specific new flesh. It is”

“I know how to lose weight, but what’s good about losing weight?”

“There are good deaths such as good fortune or good study, respectively, in the death of a nobleman of heaven and a nobleman of literature.”

Will it change the heavens? Or is cause and effect going that way? Or is it both?

It is not uncommon for humans to overcome their nature with their will and this ability. And if you can overcome it, you can change it to something else.

Quite an interesting story. If Eden learns it, it will be useful forever.

“But in a simple sense, if you use flesh, it becomes a curse.”

“A curse?”

“Yes, it’s killing flesh. It’s the simplest and most effective, but it’s just as dangerous.”

Oh, something familiar came out.

Curses have been found in human history from time immemorial. Even in the field of special ability, it is rare that there is no curse field.

It is human nature to resent and hate others, so it is inevitable. It is impossible not to understand the nature of the curse unless you are a person who has never thought, ‘I hope that bastard dies’ in your life.

“So be careful. You can use curses enough now, but curses are originally used to prepare two graves.”

“Why two?”

“One belongs to the person who is cursed, and the other belongs to the person who casts the curse. Curses are effective, but the reaction is great.

“Yes!!!”

Eden’s memory is as good as her brain, so she sucked up what Mrs. Kim taught her like a sponge and made it her own.

She used to be taught, but now her mindset is different and the level of knowledge she teaches is different.

The one who will die before the end of the year is the last to hand over everything he has. Of course there must be a difference.

And it happened one day. That day, Mrs. Kim, who had been senile, was strangely full of vitality, so she was able to walk around her hospital like Eden. Since it is a well-equipped hospital, I spend a fun time going to places like the sky garden on the roof.

“Oh, Grandma, that’s an acorn tree!!!”

“Acorns. It’s delicious to collect and eat acorn jelly.”

“I like acorn jelly too!!!!”

In this way, it was her normal grandmother and granddaughter relationship. No, they may think so too.

It was quite late when I returned from the walk. It was time for us to go home as well, but Eden didn’t want to go home today.

“Dad, can I sleep with her grandmother tonight?”

“Do you want to?”

“Uh”

“Dad has to go to the store tomorrow, but… Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.”

Eden is more important than shops. Frequent closing is an act of disappointing guests, but this case is different.

Today, we decided to let Eden sleep with Mrs. Kim. Even in the hospital, it was a private room, so it was spacious, so I could sleep enough, and if I was a guardian, it wouldn’t be harmful to other people.

And that was what happened that night.

Eden, who was sleeping on a separate bed for guardians, suddenly opened her eyes. Likewise, I, who was spending time sitting on the sofa in the corner of the hospital room, raised her head and looked toward the hospital bed.

“………Grandmother?”

Eden called her in her low voice. But Mrs. Kim did not answer. She goes to sleep, and she is not like that, but because she is dead.

Not breathing The warmth remained, but it was only because she had just died.

And something whitish came out of Mrs. Kim’s body and took her shape. That is, when her soul, her body ceases, her soul comes out of her body to go where it needs to go.

Eventually, the soul takes shape. Originally, not all souls can take a form, but since she was an outstanding psychic during her lifetime, it was not difficult to form a human form.

“Grandmother………”

-Don’t cry. Grandma is just going where she needs to go. It’s normal world. Thanks to her and she, yes, she was able to live without regrets, so she is very grateful.

She stroked Eden’s hair. Her touch could not be felt, but it was clear that she was there to comfort Eden.

Getting out of the body and entering the state of the soul is much more liberating than one might think. No matter how much lingering lingering feelings remain during life, if it is not a deep resentment, the moment you die and escape from the body, you shake off those lingering feelings and move on to the next reincarnation. Even more so, if she lived without regret, she would go straight to the next one.

But what remains of Mrs. Kim is that she uses her spiritual powers to forcibly hold her soul in the present world in order to say goodbye to Eden for the last time.

– If you go around the world, you will meet someday. I don’t know when it will be, but see you next time.

“Uuuuu…”

– You are a good boy. I wish I could meet you who grew up someday.

And after those words, her soul lost its light.

I’m going to use up all my remaining power and now go to the next one. I don’t know if the next one will be the world after death, or if it will go straight to the left of reincarnation. Because that’s where you have to go.

Quietly, only silence remained in the hospital room where three or two remained. No, it wasn’t pure silence.

Little Eden’s cries were also heard.

* * * *

As Mrs. Kim Ryu-hwa was an outstanding shaman, she accumulated a lot of wealth during her lifetime. She had some money she earned from things like bokchae, but more importantly, it was a property called that money as capital.

Things like stocks can sometimes become pieces of toilet paper, but land is immutable. Maybe that’s why most of her assets were real estate, and among them, there was a decent amount of money to the extent that there was a single building in Gangnam.

But she disposed of most of her own property during her hospitalization. So, her remaining land was like a rice field somewhere over there.

Looking at the will revealed by her lawyer, it was stated that the field would be inherited by Eden. Apparently, it seems to be a good fit for Eden, who likes to grow crops.

And her assets, which became cash, were distributed to some extent to acquaintances around her who helped a lot while working as a shaman. It will be at least a few years’ salary, so you can find another job or join another shaman.

Since Ms. Kim had no family of her own, she had no property to return to her family. As she said before, she had a husband, but since she was widowed and had no children, she had no one to inherit.

So, she decided to return her remaining property to the state. It’s a small amount from our family’s point of view, but from the point of view of the general public, it’s a jaw-dropping amount of money donated to the country.

“Grandma is doing a good job on the way to the end”

“Uh”

“Is Eden sad?”

“It’s okay. But since Grandma went comfortably, I can endure it.”

The death of Mrs. Kim is a common saying. She didn’t die prematurely, she didn’t leave behind any regrets, and she left a successor like Eden, and she didn’t go through suffering, but went to sleep in peace.

It would be very good if you met the end like that in human life. Some leave when they are young due to an accident, while others go after a long struggle with illness.

Worst of all is the funeral when her child dies. Those who haven’t been to the funeral home don’t know the atmosphere at that time.

Anyway, now that Mrs. Kim is dead, there is a lot to do. The fact that Mrs. Kim has no family is evidence that there is no one to see the resident, so I first made sure that I, as the resident, went through the funeral procedures.

It was only natural that Eden decided to inherit some of her property. No, can we have a funeral without a resident when we go? Even if I was a tough guy, I didn’t fall to that level.

Send news to your acquaintances and find out about the funeral home. Since the hospital is a large hospital, there is a funeral home, but a lot of people will come, but if you do it here, it will be a nuisance to others.

“I’m going to have to make some with yukgaejang and suyuk…”

“Yukgaejang? Suyuk?”

“Originally, that’s what I’m going to do at a funeral. Even if I buy something else, I’ll make it as good as that.”

Honestly, there is no problem cooking food for a thousand people to come to a funeral, but the important thing is time.

No matter how much I am, even though I have one body, there is no way I can cook while serving as the resident. Moreover, the funeral will be held sooner or later, and time is running out.

Even if it’s just the supply of materials, it should arrive this afternoon, but unless I’m the absolute ruler of time, I can’t extend the limited time. So, first of all, I’ll have the side dishes made by Horizon and only then touch the main.

“I want to make it too”

“Eden too? But this isn’t for practice or fun?”

“Oh, so I’ll do it”

“Yes, then. Let’s go with Dad.”

While Mrs. Kim can decorate the way she dies, this is all Eden can do. Eden will take over the sangju, or he will raise the coffin. Of course, you could lift the coffin, but that was the job of strong adults.

So it wasn’t bad to be able to do something like this. And Eden also learned to cook from me, so he was able to do enough to assist.

In the middle of preparations, Zion heard the news and came to visit. I left the other kids at home, so I came alone.

“I heard the story. You were healthy until recently, but did your condition get worse that much?”

“Is it time to go?”

“Then there’s no help. When you go, you go because you’re a human being.”

When the time comes, human beings are bound to die one day. The only thing that can go against that is the load.

Even transcendental beings sometimes die in their lifespan. Yong Ha-yeon was also reincarnated once, but in his previous life, he died due to his lifespan. The passage of time cannot be reversed.

“I have separately checked the funeral home and helpers. I have separately sent news to Mrs. Kim Ryu-hwa’s acquaintances, so they will come when the funeral begins.”

“Oh, that’s what I, the resident owner, should do, so thank you for taking care of it.”

“Isn’t it because you’re the Sangju? And even if your blood isn’t mixed, you’re a grandmother to Eden.”

“When I say grandmother, I suddenly think of my mother-in-law. Let’s meet her soon.”

“How about next summer vacation?”

Thanks to Zion, many things the Sangju had to do were reduced. She is also our wife.

The store will be closed for a while……..It will be a nuisance to the customers, but I have to take care of the resident. What can I do? The resident cannot leave his seat.

I plan to make sure to supplement it there. You can do business by airlifting delicious and good ingredients from the Garden of Eden.

Anyway, I went straight into cooking. The funeral will start tonight, so it was better to cook right now. Fortunately, Shion arranged something like meat separately so I could get it right away, but the rest had to be airlifted from the Garden of Eden.

“Let’s see, bracken, taro stems, bean sprouts…… What to do with bracken, taro stems, and red pepper powder? I don’t have time to dry them.”

“I think if you ask Keter, he’ll dry it right away?”

“Ah, that will work”

It’s not visible in front of customers, and it’s a situation where time is running out, so there’s no need to hide your strength. Me and Eden go straight to the Garden of Eden and gather the necessary ingredients.

In the Garden of Eden, where Eden arrived in an instant, Keter was waiting leisurely, taking care of the crops. Surprised that she didn’t know we were coming, Keter asks why.

[What? What’s up?]

“I need food for a funeral in a hurry. I’ll give you a list, so can you tell me where it is?”

[Don’t worry, I can make it for you. Look]

Her yukgaejang ingredients began to grow everywhere, centering on where she was standing. Despite the fact that their habitat and cultivation methods were completely different, they were all fresh and strong.

“Thank you for saving me time.”

[Later, I also open six!!!]

“Yes, yes. I’ll pack the rest and go in.”

[Tell me if you have a hat!!! I will make more!]

“Oh, that’s right. Bracken and taro stems are poisonous so you have to boil them once and dry them, and red peppers need to be powdered, so help me with drying them.”

[Brackens and taro stems were made with non-toxic materials?]

“Really? Then there should be no problem. We just need to dry them both.”

Harvesting is crops that can easily go bad even with the power of a child, but my telekinesis was able to harvest by carefully controlling each one without worrying about such things.

Thanks to this, hundreds of servings of ingredients were harvested at once. I took it and moved to Horizon.

Even a store has a limit to being able to cook a large amount of food at once. That’s why I cook in a place with sufficient facilities.

First, wash and trim the ingredients. And in the meantime, put a large pot on the fire and put the beef and brisket parts in it.

The number of people coming is the same, so it’s better to make it generously, so add more than the proper amount. If you remove the excess oil, it will become a thick broth, so it’s okay.

“Something……….”

“Yes?”

“Something feels strange”

In the midst of helping me prepare the ingredients, Eden said. What’s the weird feeling, is it because someone close to you died and you’re so confused?

“I’m sad because my grandmother died, but somehow I feel better than usual because I’m cooking. It’s not fun, but it’s strange.”

“That’s because Eden feels the joy of cooking.”

“You feel that when you cook normally, don’t you?”

“It’s different. Aren’t Eden’s usual cooking more like a hobby or fun? That’s cooking for himself. But now, he’s doing it for his grandmother and for the people who can share the grief of her passing away, right? That’s a mindset. It’s different”

Cooking cannot be completed by self-satisfaction. Making your own food and eating it yourself is just self-sufficiency.

Cooking is completed by serving others. Cooking is completed only when you want to feed someone or treat someone and receive evaluation.

Eden realized that through this incident. And that is a very big change.

“Is that so?”

“That’s it”

Mrs. Kim Ryu-hwa said that she left a lot of things to Eden while she was alive, but she gave a lot of things to Eden even after her death.

This winter is cold, but as cold as it is, Eden seems to be gathering nutrients to grow in the spring.
