How to get Healed at Demon Farm

A clear sky, warm sunshine, and an occasional cool breeze.

I was sitting in a moderately comfortable wooden chair, looking at the cute Demon beasts in the distance over the fence…….

Ah! Of course, it was my personal opinion. I’m the only one here in the Demon world who describes Yakums as cute.

Anyway….

Watching them graze like this was one of the things I often enjoyed on the farm.

Thanks to the warm and nice weather, many Yakums went far away and were grazing fresh grass.

In the middle, the baby Yakums could be seen playing excitedly.

“Huh….”

There was a lot of concern about the problems that might arise due to the sudden increase in the number of Yakum, but the Yakums who migrated quickly adapted to life on the farm.

Just looking at the crowded Yakum group made me feel warm.

I think I need to extend the barn wider, and I also need to prepare more snacks for them.

Maybe I should ask for opinions when I meet the merchants next time.

As the Yakum population increased, there were many things I had to take care of, but it didn’t matter to me that much. Should I say that I feel more energized?

As I was having a relaxing time alone.

-SHAK.

I heard the sound of someone stepping on the grass behind me.

A light, cautious step.

Even without looking directly, I could notice the owner of the footsteps.

“What’s the matter, Lia?”

“Did I interrupt you while you were resting?”

“No, I’m fine.”

When I showed a welcoming look, Lia quickly approached me with a relieved expression.

“I brought some snacks and cool drinks just in case you’re hungry.”

She took a small plate out of the picnic basket, put the cookies in, and poured fruit juice into the glass.

I accepted them with an apologetic expression.

“You don’t have to go through all the trouble.”

“What do you mean trouble? It’s my job. Please let me know if it’s not enough. I’ll prepare more for you.”

“Is Speranza…”

“I already took care of Speranza, so don’t worry. She’s probably taking a nap with Cheese right now.”

As if she had expected my question, Lia gave out a series of answers.

“It’s a little embarrassing to sit down and eat alone.”

“I don’t mind. It’s enough for me to just see Sihyeon eating.”

“…….”

Lia smiled and sent silent pressure. I picked up the cookie on the plate.

CRUNCH!

Crispy cookies, and sweet chocolate chips in between.

It was a cookie taste that had nothing special, but the sweet taste that spread in my mouth seemed to make me feel alive.

Whenever I felt dry, I drank the fruit juice in the glass.

Ugh!

It isn’t big, but I enjoyed this small happiness.

When I showed satisfaction after eating the cookies, Lia also smiled happily.

Is that how I looked when I was watching the Yakum graze?

It made me feel strange.

Lia’s kindness was on a whole different level these days.

To be exact, it started changing after returning from the Red Scales village.

Originally, she took care of me as a maid on the farm, but recently she acted as if she had become my exclusive maid.

So, do I hate it…….?

Honestly, no. How can I hate when someone takes care of me with all their heart and supports me?

If there’s a part that bothers me a little, it’s the fact that I sometimes notice the stinging gaze from other farm members.

CRUNCH!

I unconsciously picked up the cookies and looked at the Yakums again.

Lia stayed as quiet as possible and respected my happy time.

As I was enjoying a leisurely and relaxed time, I suddenly remembered the guest who visited the farm a few days ago.

– I’m Ark, an Angel who works as a Judge.

He was completely different from the image of the Angels I had.

The first meeting was bizarre, and the incredible things he said made me very confused.

– The creator of the new world, Sihyeon! You’re the only hope of getting through this crisis.

The distorted balance of dimension, the realm of creation, the Vision world…….

Obviously, it happened a few days ago, but the memory of that time was not realistic, it was as if I had a dream.

Since all the farm members could not have had the same dream at the same time, it was undeniable that the Angels visited.

If I’m really the only hope to stop the distortion, can I just relax and watch Yakums like this?

For a moment, I felt uncomfortable with this question.

CRUNCH!

But the uncomfortable feeling did not last long.

Soon, I drank the juice and washed away my doubts and feelings at the same time.

Ark also told me to stay as usual for now, and this problem was not something that could be solved just by thinking about it.

Right now, just eating cookies and being comfort…….

I looked at the plate in amazement as I couldn’t get my hands on any cookies.

As I unconsciously ate one by one, the plate was empty before I knew it.

Everyone must have felt like this at least once.

Emptying a bag of snacks they really like, and feeling like it’s a bummer to quit here, but at the same time feeling guilty as an adult to open another bag…….

There was a situation where the whole world may be in danger, but instead of thinking about that, I was seriously thinking about what to do with the empty cookie plate.

If Speranza was next to me, I would have wanted to show my mature appearance, but since there is only Lia and me here.

I don’t think it’s bad.

“Lia, I’m sorry, but can I have some more cookies?… Um, Lia?”

“What?”

Lia replied in a startled tone.

“Is there anything you want to say to me, Lia? I think it looks like that.”

“Ah…that’s…….”

She wiggled her hand at my question.

There really seemed to be something she wanted to tell me.

I quickly forgot about the cookie I was worried about a while ago, and waited calmly for her answer.

“What you said to me in the village…… Do you remember?”

“Uh…”

What, what?

What did I say?

I was confused by the unexpected question.

It has been a while since we returned from the Dragon demon Village, and so many things happened at that time.

I looked back on my memories in a hurry, but nothing came to mind.

I told her the truth with an awkward look on my face.

“I’m sorry, Lia, but I don’t really remember…… What did I say?”

“I was completely unconscious at that time, but I definitely heard Sihyeon’s voice.”

“……?”

“You said, when we go back to the farm, let’s go on a picnic again before it gets colder…”

“Ah!”

Lia’s explanation quickly brought back the memory.

When she was under the control of madness, I remembered the old picnic and said let’s go on one again.

“Sihyeon, what do you think?”

She asked me with a look of anticipation.

“Hmm. Picnic…”

It didn’t sound bad.

The weather has been good recently, and things that needed urgent attention have been almost handled.

After a little more time, cold winter will come, then we have to wait until the next spring for going on a picnic.

In a way, this seemed to be a perfect time.

“Picnic…… I think it’s good.”

“Really?”

“Yes! Let’s ask the farm members for their opinions.”

Lia smiled with great joy at my positive response.

-SHAK.

“I too think it’s the best time to go on a picnic, Senior.”

“Elaine?”

Alfred, who appeared silently, expressed his support for the picnic.

“You’re in? No, when did you get here?”

“I saw Lia take something and go this way.”

Alfred continued, with a sullen look on his face.

“When I saw her bright smiling face, I thought it had to be Senior.”

“Ugh, when did I smile like that?!”

“Didn’t you know? These days your expression changes so much when it comes to things related to Senior. Isn’t it, Senior?”

“Kuh, Kuh.”

When asked by Alfred, I coughed and pretended not to know.

“Ugh…”

Lia’s face turned red with great shame as if she was not aware of her recent change.

-SHAK.

“Elaine is right.”

“Ugh… Andras?”

Andras, who appeared after Alfred, nodded slightly to me. He also pointed out Lia’s change with a voice full of dissatisfaction.

“From the beginning, Lia followed Sihyeon a lot, but recently, it got worse. I can count with my hands the number of times she brought snacks for me like this…….”

“Uh, I was going to bring Andras’ snacks later…”

“Really?”

“…….”

When Andras asked with dry eyes, Lia could not answer and lowered her head.

Unfortunately, she didn’t have any plans on giving snacks to Andras.

-SHAK.

“Yeh, right! Sister Lia only takes care of Brother Sihyeon. Well, but this cookie is really good.”

Before I knew it, Lilia took out a cookie from the basket and expressed her dissatisfaction.

Once again, Lia’s head just lowered without saying anything.

I was a little embarrassed that this seemed to have happened because of me.

Feeling sorry for Lia, whose ears turned red, I hurriedly changed the topic of conversation.

“That’s great, everyone is just in time. Right now, we were talking about going on a picnic. What do you think?

“Picnic? Hmm… Come to think of it, it’s already been a while since the last picnic.”

Andras murmured, recalling the past picnic.

“Picnic? What’s that?”

“Picnic is…….”

I briefly explained to Lilia what Picnic is.

Her eyes twinkled as she heard the explanation. She was already excited by the expectation of the picnic.

“Picnic! I want to go, too. I think it’s going to be really fun!”

“Andras, what do you think?”

“I like it, too. Recently, I’ve been stuck in my workshop with research on the dimensional door device. I think a breather would be great.”

Everyone agreed to the picnic without much hesitation. And it quickly became noisy with various opinions.

I was also a little excited at the thought of going on a picnic with everyone.
