How to get Healed at Demon Farm - Chapter 243

With the flow of the conversation, the people of the Schnarpe family created an atmosphere to set me up with Lilia.

I am very grateful that they valued me highly, but that doesn’t mean I should get engaged.

This was not a matter of liking the Schnarpe family and Lilia.

I was at a loss for words.

I didn’t want to ruin the mood, so I couldn’t show my dislike on my face.

I don’t know if the nobles of the Demon World would normally take this situation lightly, but as an ordinary person born in Korea, the current situation was not normal for me.

Zaina continued the conversation with a bright smile, without knowing what was going on in my mind.

“Wait?! If Shihyeon becomes my son-in-law, then naturally, Speranza……? Speranza will become my granddaughter?

“What? Am I going to be Speranza’s mother?”

“Then I’ll be uncle…… Uncle Andras….”

“Well.”

The people of the Schnarpe family smiled happily as they imagined themselves becoming a family with Speranza.

Speranza, who had been concentrating on the delicious food until now, lifted her head. She moved her eyes to and fro at the sound of her name coming from here and there.

“Speranza honey. What do you think about me becoming your grandmother and this Lilia Sister becoming your mother?”

“Grandmother? Mother?”

“Yes. Speranza will also be a member of the Schnarpe family. You can come to the mansion anytime, and you can eat delicious food like this every day. You saw the cool workshop earlier, right? I’ll make a pretty workshop that only Speranza can use. What do you think?”

Zaina tried to lure Speranza to her side by laying out things that Speranza would like. Other Schnarpe people also waited with excitement for the fox girl’s answer.

“Uh-huh…”

Speranza tilted her head with a troubled expression. And at the end, she glanced at me.

‘Hmm…’

I couldn’t understand the meaning in Speranza’s eyes. We just stared at each other. Speranza’s eyes suddenly twinkled. Then she looked at Zaina again and opened her mouth.

“It’s Okay.”

“Huh? What do you mean it’s okay?”

“I love being on farm with my Papa. Speranza already has a family on the farm.”

An outright refusal

Zaina only blinked with a blank expression, as if she had never expected Speranza’s refusal. Other Schnarpe members also expressed a slight disappointment.

On the other hand, a smile appeared on my face and Kaneff. In particular, Kaneff nodded his head as if it was natural, and made a very satisfied expression.

“Oh, Speranza. Think about it. There is a lot more delicious food than what you ate today. And you like to sing, right? I’ll play it for you to sing every day. No, I’ll hire a separate band.”

Zaina tried to persuade Speranza with all her might, and as a person watching from the side, I felt sorry for her.

But…

“Ugh… Can I not come to Zaina Aunty’s place if I am not a member? Do you hate me?”

Speranza made a sad face, drooping the fox ears. The eyes and voice that quickly became moist made everyone’s hearts ache.

“Oh, no no! Who would hate Speranza? Don’t worry, it will never happen.”

“Really? Then, can I come over anytime?”

“Sure. Promise.”

Speranza, who even received Zaina’s promise, quickly erased her sad expression and smiled brightly.

Seeing the bright smile, the atmosphere at the dining table, which had subsided, became as fresh as daisy.

Speranza came down from the chair she was sitting on and came toward me. She naturally came up to my lap and smiled happily.

“I like playing with Papa on the farm, but it’s fun here too, so I’ll also come to visit. Hehe.”

“…….”

Zaina, who looked blank, quickly realized what had happened and was disappointed. She looked as if she had been possessed by something.

I looked down at Speranza in a daze. Speranza in my arms looked up at me and twinkled her eyes again. As soon as I realized the meaning, a smile came out of my mouth.

Perhaps this naughty fox girl did this for her troubled father.

The Schnarpe family’s maids were instantly mesmerized by Speranza’s actions as she completely turned the atmosphere upside down with her ability to capture hearts. Thanks to this, the atmosphere to set me up with Lilia withered.

Is this what it means to be sly as a fox?

She’s still young, but when she grows up…….

At the same time as I was looking forward to Speranza’s future, I became slightly worried.

I looked down into my arms again with anxiety.

Speranza smiled as soon as she met my eyes. Both of her eyes were filled with pure innocence.

Realizing that it was still too early to worry, I vowed to myself to protect my daughter so that she could have these innocent eyes forever.

The meal at the dining table came to an end.

Thanks to Speranza, I was able to finish the meal smoothly.

Zaina did not hide her disappointment until the end, as if she thought she had missed a golden opportunity. Still, there was no forced effort like before.

After the meal, we moved to a place where we could talk more comfortably.

Sitting in a very fluffy and comfortable chair, I enjoyed the desserts after the meal.

Among the desserts prepared were strawberries, one of the gifts I had brought.

Esbern tasted the strawberries and burst into admiration.

“Strawberries are really delicious. I think it’s more delicious because Sihyeon brought it himself.”

“Haha! Thank you. If I knew you’d like it this much, I would have brought more…….”

“No, it’s already more than enough, plus my son also sometimes brings it from the farm.”

“I’m planning to harvest again in a little while. I will make sure to give you a fresh batch through Andras.”

“Oh my… I feel like I’m always indebted to Sihyeon.”

“No, it’s fine.”

Esbern And I continued the conversation in a pretty good atmosphere.

Then the others…….

“Awwww! Look at her, she looks even more cuter when she’s sleeping.”

“See, she’s drooling. I guess she’s eating delicious food in her dream, too.”

The others were busy looking at Speranza who fell asleep in Kaneff’s arms.

“Can I also give her a hug, Brother Kaneff?”

“No. Didn’t you see Sihyeon leaving her to me earlier? I can’t leave her to someone she saw today.”

“You meanie, Brother Kaneff.”

“Hahaha, if you feel unfair, you should come and live on the farm.”

Kaneff and Zaina were having a childish argument over Speranza, who was asleep.

Listening to it, I was dumbfounded, but I couldn’t show it because of Esbern, who was talking before me.

“Sihyeon, are you planning on upgrading the facilities in the strawberry field in the future?”

“Ah~! You must have heard from Andras.”

“That’s right, I heard it’s a pretty big plan.”

The pretty big plan that Esbern was talking about was a large-scale plan to build a greenhouse house throughout the strawberry field.

The weather was getting chilly now, and winter was about to come soon to the strawberry field, which was on fairly high ground.

Since strawberry cultivation was an important source of income for the Cardis estate, it cannot be stopped, so, the facility was planned to be upgraded so that the cultivation can continue even in winter.

“It’s a good plan, but it’s going to cost a lot of money.”

“Ugh… It can’t be helped. There is a large strawberry field, and basic materials have to be ordered…….”

There was no greenhouse house concept here like in Korea. Most crops cannot afford it unless it was a high-value crop like strawberries.

Therefore, many parts had to be newly produced and ordered, and it was going to be quite expensive.

It wasn’t that I didn’t have enough money, it was just that I had no choice but to feel heartburn because a large amount of money will be withdrawn.

“About the facility upgrade plan. I think we can help you.”

“What? Really?”

“We will be able to produce the materials needed for construction, in the workshop run by the Schnarpe family.”

Esbern continued to explain the various workshops run by the Schnarpe family.

“I would like to provide it free of charge, but there are so many supplies that I need…… I’m sorry, but I think I need to get paid for the materials.”

“No no, that alone means a lot.”

To Esbern, who spoke as if he felt sorry, I hurriedly waved my hands and said it was fine.

The workshop run by the Schnarpe family was a place where craftsmen with tremendous skills and experience were gathered. It’s a big help just to be able to order things from there, and I would be able to get the products without paying the labor cost.

It was a really, really big help to me.

Esbern and I talked briefly about the greenhouse house. I promised to tell him about the details later once the plan became clear.

“Is there anything else you need?”

“Well, just helping me with the greenhouse plan is already a big help.”

“It doesn’t have to necessarily be about the farm. If there’s anything you personally want, I’ll help you as much as I can.”

“Hmm…”

Esbern kept asking me if I needed anything, but I couldn’t think of anything.

Most of the things I can solve on my own, except for the greenhouse house, so, I didn’t need any help from the Schnarpe family for the time being.

When I was wondering what to say, Lilia barged into our conversation.

“I know what Brother Sihyeon needs.”

“Huh? You know what I need?”

I asked her, feeling a little confused.

“There are some things that would be uncomfortable because you don’t have this at the place you work.”

“Something I’m uncomfortable with because I don’t have it on the farm?”

“Yes! I’m sure about it!”

Did I have something like that?

I couldn’t think of anything even when I looked back on my usual farm life.

And most of all, how does Lilia, who knows little about my farm life, know that I’m uncomfortable?

Esbern also asked with a curious expression.

“Lilia, what on earth does Sihyeon need?”

“I’ve also been really uncomfortable without being able to use it lately. Wait a minute….”

“……?”

“……?”

Lilia began to pick something out from the inside of her dress. It was a little embarrassing, so I turned my head reflexively.

“Here it is.”

“That’s…”

My eyes widened as soon as I checked what was in her hand.

“Brother Sihyeon, aren’t you frustrated that you couldn’t use this here?”

“Ugh…… yes, but…….”

“If you can use this in the Demon world, wouldn’t Brother Sihyeon be quite comfortable?”

“……?!”

When asked by Lilia, I nodded as if I had been possessed.

“Lilia, what is that?”

“It’s a very important item in the world where Brother Sihyeon lives. Without this, people there can’t live properly.”

“Oh… Is it such an important thing?”

“Of course!”

Most modern people have it with them all the time, and if they don’t, they would feel like their lives have been disrupted. And, the only uncomfortable part of working at Demon farm was I couldn’t use it.

What was in Lilia’s hand… right now… was a SMARTPHONE.
