Have I ever been in this much pain recently?

I have been in pretty nasty situations lately but those things can’t be compared to this pain.

When I saw Speranza falling down, I couldn’t think of anything for a moment.

My heart was beating fast, and the hand holding my child trembled.

Hearing my scream, the farm members quickly gathered around.

“SIHYEON? What’s wrong?”

“Speranza… Speranza suddenly collapsed.”

“……?!”

At the word Speranza collapsed, Andras’ huge body shook slightly.

He immediately came to his senses and quickly came to my side and looked at Speranza.

“SIHYEON, can you explain what happened?”

“Speranza…”

I went back to my memory and explained what had just happened.

I described the scene as detailed as possible as I saw it.

“Speranza… This flower garden……?”

“That’s exactly what I saw.”

Andras’ expression became serious when he heard my explanation.

“What? What’s going on?”

Kaneff, who arrived late, approached me asking what happened.

When he saw Speranza in my arms with her eyes closed, Kaneff’s eyes also shook.

-CLING! -CLANG!

“What?”

The blue chain quickly enveloped us.

I rose into the air hugging Speranza tightly as Kaneff shouted in an irritated voice.

“The child has collapsed. What are you staring at blankly?”

“…….”

“Let’s go back to the farm right now. Andras!”

“Yes, Mr. Kaneff.”

“As soon as we get back, contact that guy in the Castle. Tell him to come to the farm immediately.”

“YES.”

Kaneff gave Andras instructions.

And with Speranza and me on the chain, he quickly moved to where Lilia’s was.

The other farm members quickly followed after us.

“Lilia!”

“What?”

Lilia opened her eyes wide in surprise at the sight of us approaching at such a high speed.

“Open the door to the farm right now.”

“Ee, all of a sudden?”

“Speranza collapsed. It’s urgent, so move quickly.”

“Ah! Yes, Uncle Kaneff.”

Lilia scrambled to start the dimensional door device.

The upgraded device produced a dimensional door to the farm immediately.

“What’s going on, my disciple?”

“Master, Speranza suddenly…”

“There’s no time!”

“……I’m sorry, Master. I’ll explain it in detail later!”

I was led by Kaneff’s chain and crossed the dimensional gate, leaving Bellion saying I would explain later.

“…….”

“…….”

“…….”

All the farm members gathered in the living room and sat quietly.

Unlike Kaneff and Andras, who looked calm, the rest of the people’s expressions were full of worry.

There were also Cheese and baby griffins, who were quietly watching in an unusual and serious atmosphere.

In front of a door in the living room, I kept walking around nervously.

I know it’s useless, but I couldn’t just sit back and wait.

In the end, Kaneff, who couldn’t watch it, called me slightly irritated.

“Hey! Don’t mess around there and sit still. You’re making everyone more nervous.”

“Haa… I’m sorry.”

I sighed deeply and answered helplessly.

Kaneff couldn’t say anything at the sight and just turned his head.

“Mr. Kaneff is right. Why don’t you wait a little more calmly?”

“…….”

“The therapist who is looking at Speranza now has one of the best healing powers in the Demon world. He said it doesn’t look like a big problem, so it shouldn’t be that serious.”

I nodded slowly at Andras’ words.

I moved away from the door and sat in an empty seat. I tried to clear my mind and shake off my nervousness.

Even though so many people gathered in the living room, the heavy silence was rarely broken.

Perhaps because of such a heavy atmosphere, time seemed to go slower.

All I could only hear in the room was the heavy breathing and the wiggling of Griffins.

-THUD!

The door opened violently and someone entered the living room.

A Demon with long green hair, bizarrely bent horns, and a white gown.

He was the great healer that Andras mentioned earlier.

At the appearance of the therapist, the farm members sitting in their seats stood up at the same time.

Cheese and Griffins also shook their heads from side to side in surprise.

“What’s wrong with the atmosphere? Did you guys come to a funeral?”

The atmosphere in the living room became a little chilly due to the therapist’s light words and actions.

“It’s a Joke… a therapist joke, and I guess it wasn’t funny enough for you folks.”

I was the first to approach him and ask him about Speranza’s condition.

“Sir, my daughter…… Is SPERANZA okay?

“Is Erul child’s name Speranza? Don’t worry about her. She’s way too much all right.”

“What?”

“She’s okay. She’s so healthy that I wonder what you fed and raised her.”

The therapist waved his hand and continued to say Speranza was fine.

His crude explanation made me and the farm members look frustrated.

“Hey, Jerok! Why don’t you explain it correctly? Can’t you see the people who are worried here?”

Kaneff called the therapist “Jerok” and shot back sharply.

“You crazy guy. Explain what? I just told you everything. She’s so healthy that I wonder what you fed and raised her! There’s nothing wrong”

“Why did she fall down when there’s nothing wrong?”

“How do I know that?”

“You quack…”

When the atmosphere suddenly became harsh, Andras and Lia stepped up and stopped the two.

“Calm down.”

“Sir. Jerok, don’t get too angry. Mr. Kaneff is also worried.”

The two calmed down their emotions again.

The therapist, called Jerok, opened his mouth again with a more serious look.

As I said earlier, that Erul child is in a very healthy state. I couldn’t find any signs of abnormality or illness. I don’t know exactly why she collapsed. I think she has lost consciousness for a while because she suddenly used up a lot of energy.”

Suddenly a lot of energy……?

I remembered Speranza, who emitted rainbow-colored energy.

“Then, is she okay?”

“If she eats well and rests well, she will recover her energy quickly. She’s so healthy that it’ll be enough to recover in a day or two”

I was able to take a breather as soon as I heard that Speranza was okay.

As the tension eased, tears seemed to pour out.

“Thank you, Sir. Thank you very much.”

I held the therapist’s hand tightly and thanked him.

As I lowered my head several times, he replied with an awkward look.

“I didn’t do much. Even if I didn’t come here, she would have woken up in a while.”

“But you came in a hurry. I’ll make sure to repay you somehow.”

“?… Oh! And I don’t know what happened, but you better refrain her from using up all her energy at once like that. If she continues to repeat such actions, it can damage her health quickly.”

“I’ll keep that in mind, Sir.”

Jerok, the therapist, patted me on the shoulder and comforted me.

As soon as our conversation was over, he turned his head and looked at Kaneff.

“I was wondering what was going on because I suddenly got a direct call.”

“…….”

“When you were the leader of the Black Hawk unit, you didn’t blink an eye even if your subordinates’ limbs flew away, such a guy is now making a big deal out of a small thing?”

“Hmm, hmm! It’s because a healthy kid suddenly collapsed. And you can just roughly attach your arms and legs.”

I can’t believe you can just attach the arms and legs roughly…….

Everyone slightly frowned at Kaneff’s strange logic.

“Do you think it’s easy to attach arms and legs? There’s so much to care about when connecting nerves and bones without damaging them! The back of my eyes is still sore from what I suffered at that time.”

“Oh, it’s okay if it’s stuck anyway.”

“Ugh… I should stop talking to you.”

Jerok, the therapist, pounded his chest with a frustrated expression.

I spoke quietly while watching the scene.

“Sir.”

“Huh? Just call me Jerok.”

“Ah… Yes, Mr. Jerok. Can I go and see Speranza now?”

“Go on. Maybe she’ll be up as soon as she recovers some energy.”

“Thank you, then…….”

As soon as I heard Jerok’s answer, I almost ran out of the living room.

Cheese and baby griffins followed quickly, followed by the farm members.

The living room became empty in an instant.

Jerok, who was left alone there, smiled as if it was ridiculous.

“Um….”

Speranza, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned, and slowly opened her eyes.

“Speranza dear?”

Half-closed eyes crept along my voice.

My figure was reflected in the eyes that were filled with dim energy.

“Ugh… Papa?”

“Are you up? Are you okay?”

“Un……I’m fine.”

Although her voice was weak, I was able to relax when I heard her saying she was okay.

When everyone noticed that Speranza had woken up, they, who had been away, crept toward her.

“Speranza, are you hungry?”

“Speranza, are you okay?”

“Ugh! Andras, Lia! Don’t push me.”

“I want to see Speranza, too!”

“…….”

The crowd caused a disturbance around the bed.

Speranza smiled as if she liked the bustling atmosphere.

“Speranza, why are you laughing?”

“Papa is right. Family will always be together.”

The smile of the bright fox girl filled everyone’s heart.

I gently stroked Speranza’s face with affection.

“If you need anything, make sure to tell Papa, Okay?”

“Is papa going to stay here?”

“Of course! I’ll be next to Speranza all the time.”

“Hehe.”

Speranza, who was smiling, fell asleep slowly as if she had not recovered her energy yet. We watched her sleep soundly for a moment and quietly stepped back from the bed.

Lia, who was about to quietly leave the room, asked me.

“Sihyeon, are you going to stay at the farm today?”

“Yes, I think I’ll have to stay on the farm until Speranza recovers her energy. Andras, can you inform Ryan? I don’t think I’ll be able to go back there for a while…….”

“Okay, I’ll tell Ryan.”

I tried to pass the message to my mother on Earth through Ryan as usual. But…

“Ah! Brother Sihyeon. You don’t have to bother about that.”

Lilia popped up and said.

“What do you mean?”

“I couldn’t say it earlier because I didn’t have time to say it. You don’t need to pass the message through Brother Ry anymore.”

Saying that, Lilia pushed something in front of my face.

It was a very familiar thing.

“Smartphone?”

“No! See here.”

Lilia pointed to the corner of the smartphone screen.

The time at the top of the screen, the remaining battery, and the full signal antenna…… What?

Lilia smiled playfully at me with a blank face.

“I told you. You don’t have to bother passing the message. Now you can call yourself.”
