"So, you're going to help us hire mercenaries?" 

Reville asked back with a surprised face. 

Racoon grandpa next to him also watched with an interesting expression. 

"Well. I've received a lot of help from you guys, so I'd like to help you somehow." 

"Thank you, but…" 

Reville scratched his head with a complicated expression. 

On the other hand,  Raccoon grandpa responded positively. 

"First, take him to the chief. It's very sensible issue. We can't decide anything by ourself."  

"Okay. Sihyeon, let's go to the village chief. Maybe he can talk in more detail."  

As Racoon grandpa suggested, we decided to meet the chief of Beast-people Village. 

"Speranza ?" 

When I tried to move, I couldn't see Speranza nearby. 

Looking around the store, Speranza was stuck next to Miru. 

"Look at this. Isn't it pretty?" 

Miru boasted a flower bracelet made of procrastinating flowers and stems. 

And she put the flower bracelet on Speranza's hand.  

"What do you think? Do you like it? I'm good at making things in the village. I'll give you this as a gift." 

Speranza's eyes twinkled, her tail kept shaking as if she liked the flower bracelet.  

They only met twice, but Speranza seemed to be closer than she is with Kaneff.  

"Leave the Erul girl behind. Miru and I will take care of her until you're done." 

"Really?" 

"You're going to help the village, so I have to do this much."  

As Racoon grandpa suggested, Speranza decided to stay here for a while.  

Speranza didn't even care about me going out because all her attention were taken away by the flower bracelet.  

Following Reville's guidance, me and Lia stepped out of the store.  



It's a landscape of the village that I've already seen several times, but it seemed that there was a strange tension flowing today.  

Reville's steps stopped in front of an ordinary-looking house. 

-Knock knock knock. 

"Lagos! It's me." 

The door opened immediately as Reville called the leader. 

It was a Beast-man who looked like a deer. 

"Reville? What's going on at this hour?" 

"We're here to talk to you about hiring mercenaries."  

"We've already talked enough about thi….…. Oh, my. You had a guest." 

"I'm sure you might heard about them. This is Sihyeon and this is Lia." 

"Hello." 

"..." 

At the same time as I greeted, Lia too politely bowed her head.  

He seemed confused for a while by the unscheduled sudden visit, but quickly recovered his expression and showed a natural appearance. 

"Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot of rumors. I'm Lagos, the chief of Elden Village."  

The name of this village was Elden. 

It was the first time I have heard of it.  

And I thought there would be a kind grandfather with a long beard as a village chief, but interestingly he was a much younger chief than I thought.  

"I heard that my son had caused trouble before. I should have apologized first. I'm really sorry." 

"...?" 

"Heron is the son of Lagos." 

"Oh…" 

I didn't recognize it because the impression and atmosphere were completely different, but after knowing the relationship between the two, I began to see similarities one by one. 

"Come in for now." 

I entered the house under Lagos' guidance. 

The interior looked no different from an ordinary family house. 

What was unique was the documents piled up on one table and thick books. 

"Everything is scattered at home because I'm busy with work these days." 

"It's okay. It's our fault for coming out of the blue." 

"Wait a moment. I'll bring something to drink…."

"No….I think the story will be long, so just sit down. You guys don't mind, do you?"   

We nodded at Reville's words. 

Lagos also sat down again after trying to stand up awkwardly.  

When Lagos heard that we would like to help them hire mercenaries, he responded skeptically. 

"I understand that you guys want to help us, but I don't think it's going to be easy." 

"Why? We're not Beast-people, so there's no reason for mercenaries to refuse, right?" 

"Maybe they'll accept the request formally. But if they check the request, no one will want to apply."  

As he continued to be skeptical, Lia, who had been staying still, opened her mouth.  

"Maybe they can't ignore it easily. Sihyeon is qualified for that." 

"That means… Do you have the status of a noble?"" 

"What? You were a nobleman?" 

"well… Hmm… you can say it like that?"  

Despite my ambiguous answer, Reville burst into a small exclamation, while  Lagos murmured with a serious look.  

"I see. Then there might really be a way. No matter what kind of mercenary they are, they won't ignore the nobility openly." 

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" 

You might get caught up in bad rumors because of them. 

When he was worried, I answered lightly. 

"It doesn't matter because it's something I think I'm proud of myself. If someone tries to create bad rumors, it doesn't matter since they're not worth dealing with in the first place." 

"Hahaha! Sihyeon…. You really are a unique person." 

Reville laughed loudly and tapped me on the shoulder. 

He was so excited that my whole body stumbled. 

"What do you think Lagos? Isn't this reliable enough?"  

"Yeah.."  

Lagos briefly exchanged eyes with Reville and opened his mouth staring straight at me. 

"I understand what Sihyeon means. And I won't forget this grace you have shown us today."  

" Wait…Wait….You don't have to bow like that. I've received a lot of help in this village, too. We have to help each other when we're in need."  

"That's a good thing to say. Will you wait for a moment? We'll be ready to start right away." 

As soon as Lagos was ready, we immediately went to a city with a mercenary guild.  

We decided to use the wagon we brought from the farm.  

I was worried that Speranza would beg to follow me, but I was able to relieve my worries because she got close to Miru much faster than I thought. 



Three hours by carriage from Elden Village. 

We were able to arrive in a city surrounded by large walls. 

"Stop!" 

The soldiers guarding the gate blocked our way. 

Among them, a person who appeared to be a senior soldier approached. 

"You again. Aren't you from Elden Village ?" 

"Yes. We have some business with the mercenary guild, so we visited again." 

Lagos approached the senior soldier and handed something over.  

A slight jingle sound was heard, as if he had handed over  money.  

The senior soldier stared for a moment as if he didn't like the amount, but soon turned his head away.

"Tsk. Pass. Open the way!" 

"Yes!" 

"Thank you." 

The stopped wagon began to move slowly towards the gate again.  

As we became distant from the soldiers, I spoke to Lagos.  

"Do you come in like this every time?" 

"Yes. It's not necessarily like that. But if we don't do it like that, they often bother us with with some excuse…" 

"Hmm. I see." 

"From Sihyeon's point of view, it may have been unpleasant.Sorry, We didn't think much about it." 

"No. No. I just thought it was weird, not unpleasant." 

"Pfft! There's nothing weird about it. Everyone knows that we are not welcomed in this city." 

At the end of Reville's complaint, silence lingered in the wagon for a while. 

In a little awkward atmosphere, my eyes naturally headed to the streets of the city.  

The city named "Kaldinium" was incomparably larger than Elden Village. 

If Elden Village had a cute feeling similar fairy tales, the Kaldinium seemed to be like watching a large movie set.  

Ordinary horse-riding residents passing through the streets, merchants who engage in noisy solicitation, and children running in groups. 

Certainly, I felt the vitality of the city.  

But little by little, I began to see things beyond that.  

Beast-people, who occupied the dirty-looking back alley, and even babies begging in the gap.  

Certainly, Beast-people did not seem to be welcomed within this city.  

When I couldn't take my eyes off the back alley, I heard the murmur of Reville. 

"If we can't solve the problem of Elden Village, it will be hard for us to escape from the same situation as them." 

"We're almost there. The building you see in front of you is the mercenary guild." 

A large two-story building was seen in the direction Lagos pointed. 

Around the building, Demons who appeared to be mercenaries went back and forth with hideous weapons.  

Our horse and carriage were stopped next to the building, and we entered the entrance of the mercenary guild.  

The first feeling of the mercenary guild was like watching a bar in the middle of the night.  

In a noisy atmosphere, sometimes a loud laughter bursted out.  

In the corner, there were also people who spent their time burning tobacco or having serious conversations.  

Even though the sun was still overhead, mercenaries who were already drinking were also noticeable.  

First, we followed Lagos and headed inside.  

A female employee was seen organizing her nails in the place seen as a reception desk.  

She glanced at us and said, in an attitude as if not being interested. 

"What are you here for?" 

"I'm here to entrust you with a request." 

"Hah… I've told you before. We don't accept requests from you people."  

"This time, this person will." 

The guild receptionist's gaze briefly turned towards me. 

She looked at me with a look, 'What should I do with this?' 

At that time… 

" Hey you smelly Furry guys. Why are you bothering our cute receptionist?"  

A man approached us as if he was willing to pick a fight. 

With his torn eyes and pointed jaws, he even reeked of alcohol.  

"Hey, Revilli! You came again shamelessly."  

"Dejan, if you're drunk, stay quietly in the corner."  

"I can't do that. The rotten beasts has entered the city, How can a responsible citizen like me stay still?" 

Hahahaha! – As expected, our responsible citizen Dejan. Your muzzle is the best!  

Hey, Dejan! If you kick those beastlings out within five minutes, I'll pay for the drink today.  

When a big laugh broke out among the mercenaries, the man called Dejan became more confident. 

"Didn't I say this before? If you're a dirty beast, you have to act like a beast and stay in the forest. Why are you trying to act like a us noble Demons?" 

"Hey you!" 

"Reville…" 

When he was openly insulted, the anger filled in Reville's eyes.  

Lagos hurriedly grabbed his shoulder and dragged him back. 

And he gave him a look that he shouldn't make a problem.  

Reville also shook his fist because he knew that.  

In the meantime, I took a step forward.  

"What you are doing is wrong. Stop being rude." 

"Hah…What the...Who the f*ck are you?" 

" Mind your words. We're here to entrust a request to the guild." 

According to Lagos, in principle,  Mercenaries can be hired.  

It wasn't our fault to be here. 

"Who do you think you are to say I'm wrong."? 

When Dejan put his hand on the weapon handle of the waist dance, Lia, who was behind me, quickly stepped forward.  

She changed her right hand and began to exude pressure. 

Then the atmosphere of the mercenaries who were watching also became ugly. 

"What are those guys?" 

" Did the furry guys came here for a fight.?" 

"Those lunatic beasts are out of their minds. We need to show them where they belong to today." 

The moment the atmosphere is about to overheat, Lia peeked back and said. 

"Sihyeon. Please take it out." 

"Okay." 

I took out my plaque in front of many people for the first time and showed it. 

Honestly, while I was showing it, I wondered if the aggressive mercenaries would change just because I showed some kind of identification card.  

However, the reactions of the mercenaries who saw the identification cards were more surprising than expected. 

"That's...?!" 

"That's the Demon Lords pattern." 

"Who's that guy?!" 

The mercenaries, who were gaining momentum, quickly fell into chaos. 

Avoiding my eyes was the first thing everyone did, and there were countless people who hurriedly hid their weapons. 

It wasn't just the mercenaries who were surprised. 

Lagos and Reville also opened their mouths and constantly alternated between me and my ID trinklet.  

Dejan, who first quarreled, shouted as if he had a seizure. 

"You idiots. That can't be real." 

"..." 

"It makes sense. How can the one who was recognized by the Demon Lord, goes around with those uncivilized  brutes". 

" That's right"  

Dejan's incitement led the mercenaries to agitate again. 

"It makes sense. First of all It's strange that such an esteemed person would suddenly appears in a place like this." 

" Hey you f*cker? Are you trying to cheat us? That too using our great Demon Lords' symbol." 

And gradually, everyone felt like I was a scammer. 

Dejan gained momentum again. 

"Look at him without proper horns, he isn't a demon in the first place. If you wanted cheat, you should have done it properly. Hahahah…Piece of jerks."

" Like the excretas over there, you who doesn't even have a horn is a shame. You too like those guys has no right to live in our noble society. Get out." 

"Get out Get out Get out"

"Get out Get out Get out"

" Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out"

Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out

I really didn't want to use it. 

But I had no choice.

I pulled the chain on the ID trinket. 

-Cling! -Clang clang! 

Numerous chains spread around the identification plaque. 

They embroidered the air as if they were alive and created a pattern. 

It was the pattern of the Demon Lord. 

And a tremendous sense of pressure began to erupt around the pattern. 

Everyone in the building couldn't bear the weight and began to struggle.  

Dejan, who was in high spirits, also looked like he was about to die.  

It would have been okay up to here, but the boss I knew was never a person to stop with just that. 

As the chain that created the pattern vibrated finely, the energy spread in all directions was collected again. 

And after a while,  Like thunder, a tremendous voice exploded around the pattern. 

"Hey M*ther F*cker Guild Master COME OUT THIS MOMENT."

Everyone except for me and Lia fell into a panic state.

Does any one remember if this guy (BOSS) is the crown prince or just a prince? Because I'm a bit concerned for the future of the Demon Kingdom with this guy in charge.

Job 32

The whole building became a mess. 

"Ugh…" 

"Ugh." 

Few mercenaries couldn't hold on to the pressure and collapsed. 

The floor was full of dropped weapons. 

Dejan, who was closest, fainted with foams coming out from his mouth. 

Reville and Lagos were not affected by the shock. 

They looked around in vain as if they were mentally shocked. 

Me and Lia shook our heads, thinking about Kaneff, who would be giggling at this moment in the farm. 

It took 10 seconds for the guild master on the second floor to come down to the first floor. 

The guild master with an impressive beard and a firm physique shouted with a puzzled look at the rare scenery on the first floor. 

" What the.....What's going on"? 

However, there was no answers that come back. 

Everyone stood in their places as if they were out of their minds. 

While the guild master was looking around, he came out and looked at me.

And when he found the ID trinket in my hand, his expression turned bizarre. 

The guild master, who hesitated, asked with a trembling voice. 

"Are...Are you…the...Ester…"? 

"Coffee… Bring…some coffee to the guests…" 



The receptionist I saw on the first floor came with her whole boy shaking and place a cup of coffee in front of me. 

I looked at her to say thank you out of courtesy, but she was surprised and tears started to form in her eyes. 

"Haah"

I sighed looking at her

Remembering the attitude she showed toward us earlier, I couldn't feel so sorry for her. 

"Why aren't you guys sitting down? There's a seat next to me."  

"Hmm. No, I'm fine. Mr.Sihyeon" 

"We're comfortable here." 

"...?"  

Behind me, Lia, Reville, and Lagos were standing like some kind of escorts. 

I was shocked to see Reville, refusing to sit down and he even started using honorifics that he never used before. 

I could guess why he was acting like that, but it didn't feel very good because it made our relationship kinda awkward. 

After a while, the guild master and a man opened the door and entered the room. 

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. There was a customer who came first and I couldn't..…" 

"It's okay." 

"I'll officially greet you again. I'm Hardem, who is in charge of the mercenary guild of Kaldinium." 

While thinking about how to answer the polite greetings of the guild master, I just revealed his name briefly. 

"I'm Lim Sihyeon." 

This time, the man wearing glasses with a slender figure took a step forward and introduced himself. 

"It's an honor to meet the esteemed Ester, I'm a merchant belonging to the Golden Clock Chamber. Name is Ergin." 

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sihyeon." 

"I've only heard of you through rumors. I've never imagined that I'd really get to meet you in person." 

"What...…? Rumors....?"  

At Ergin's words, I tilted my head with a question mark hanging on my head. 

"Yes. The crown has kept it a secret about what kind of person the new Esther is and why he was given the position. Many rumors have spread among those who are curious about who he is." 

It was my first time hearing this story, so I turned my head towards Lia. 

She shook her head slightly as if saying she knew nothing about such things.  

I was slightly curious about what rumors would have spread about me. 

"What kind of rumors were they….?"   

"Don't feel uncomfortable hearing them,…they are just some baseless rumors." 

Ergin looked at me slightly and calmly opened his mouth.  

"Most of them are exaggerated, focusing just to attract the attention of people. Like you can overpower an angry Yakum with one hand and something like you can control the Yakums at your will...The outrageous one among them is you can squeeze milk from a Yakum….!"

" Hahahahah…..can you believe that. Even if its a rumor those guys should think of something that's believable. How can a mortal being milk a Yakum. Yakum's milk which is called the Elixir of immortality in ancient records is rumored to be in your refrigerators….that too in large quantities…..hahaha….such unbelievable rumors…Don't you think so too.?"

Surprised in many ways, I just smiled awkwardly, while Lia who was standing me laughed by closing her mouth. 

"Isn't that because of your excellent skills? You don't have to worry about those nonsensical rumors. Not even children would believe such rumors." 

" Hahah….That's a relief…" 

While Ergin and I were talking, the guild master Hardem, who seemed a little impatient, coughed.  

"Ahm. Mr. Ergin, if you don't mind, can I talk to Mr. Lim Sihyeon ?"  

"Hahahahah…Of course. Of course. I'm just a guest here, you can proceed. He's yours guild master."  

At Hardem's request, Ergin took a step back from the conversation.  

"While Mr. Lim Sihyeon was waiting here, I checked what happened by asking a normal soldier, and he said that some of the mercenaries seemed to have threatened Mr.Lim Sihyeon. Is that true?" 

"There was one person unilaterally picking a fight, and some followed him.…that's all." 

"Dejan…that crazy b*stard…" 

" He was originally a person known for his notoriety in the guild; it's my fault for not taking action against such a guy in advance. I apologize on behalf of the guild." 

He bowed his head in front of me. 

"It would be a lie if I said I wasn't offended by his actions, but I think he has already paid the price. Rather, I'm sorry for messing up the guild."  

"No, you don't have to be sorry at all." 

"It would have been nice if we did it in moderation."

" No….it's okay...I heard that you came to entrust us with a request. Can we hear what kind of request it is?" 

"Mr. Lagos?" 

"Ah…yes?" 

"I think it would be more accurate if you explain it to them."  

At my request, Lagos opened his mouth with a nervous look.  

At first, he spoke gibberish, perhaps because he was nervous, but he explained the request more accurately and in detail. 

While hearing the request, guild master Hardem's face distorted. 

"Is it really that difficult to take a request from Beast-people village ?" 

"well … That's… I… I…" 

As he was nervous, he spitted out strange words, and after which he sighed loudly.  

"Haah… I think you already know, so I'll be honest with you. It is not difficult to put on a request using my guild master authority.  But I can't force mercenaries to take the quest. It's against the rules of the guild, and mercenaries will never tolerate it." 

"In the end, mercenaries have to accept the request on their own, right?" 

"Yes." 

He murmured, stroking his shaggy beard.  

"It would be nice if there was a proper justification…" 

"Justification?" 

"It's more of a matter of pride for the mercenaries to not to be commissioned to Beast-people Village. If there was a affordable reason to bypass their pride a little bit…"  

"Then why don't we do it this way.?"  

Ergin, who was quietly listening to the conversation between me and the guild master, stepped up.  

"Isn't it okay if the requester is not the Beast-people village, but the Golden Clock Chamber?" 

"Ergin, what do you mean?" 

"I'll set up a trip to Elden Village. And we will be recruiting mercenaries for that reason." 

"Oh! That's how you want to do it?"

"We could make use of the influence Golden clock chamber has on the city. On top of that, wouldn't it be a pretty plausible justification to push the mercenaries by saying it's for being rude to Ester?"  

Hardem exclaimed, hitting his knees with his hands. 

"What an exquisite way. If it's like this, even if the mercenaries are reluctant, they won't be able to refuse."  

"Thank you for the idea Mr. Ergin. What do you think, Mr. Sihyeon?

"Hmm…"  

I looked back, delaying my answer. 

From the reaction of the three, it didn't seem to be a bad suggestion.  

And above all, there was no alternative other than Ergin's proposal. 

"Okay. We'll do as Mr. Ergin suggested." 

Ergin smiled calmly and pushed his glasses up with his hands. 

"Please call me Ergin comfortably." 



After that, it proceeded quickly. Ergin immediately designated a date for visiting Elden Village and gave a official request to the guild master.  

In addition, he called Lagos separately and talked about what the village needed. 

After speaking for a while, Lagos bowed his head to Ergin over and over again.  

The guild master said that the guild would for hiring mercenaries. 

He said it was meant an apology for what happened today. 

As we left the guild building, we were seen off by the guild master and Ergin himself.  

I saw mercenaries withdrawing in a hurry without making eye contact.

We left the building and headed to the place where the wagon was parked. 

But there were some Demons packing something hard into our wagon. 

"Who are you guys?" 

"Oh! We work for Mr. Ergin. We were placing the presents from Mr.Ergin in the carriage." 

"What?" 

The empty carriage was packed with various gifts before we knew it. 

Unknown fruits, spices, ornaments in luxurious boxes, and colorful clothes.  

The most noticeable of them was a pair of birds with colorful feathers. 

Lia said that it was a pet bird that's popular with aristocrats these days…  

I approached Lia and whispered softly. 

"Lia. Won't I be in big trouble if I get this?" 

"Why would you get into trouble. It's not like you are doing anything wrong"? 

"...?"  

"When a merchant meets a nobleman, it is very common to send a proper gift. Rather, it becomes a problem if he didn't send a gift." 

"…."

Once again, I was confused by the sweet taste of Elitism I felt for the first time in my life. 

I was shaken by the colorful gifts for a while, but I decided to just send them back. 

The workers who brought gifts looked shocked at the words. 

And they placed their head on the ground and began to beg for forgiveness. 

"I'm sorry. If there's a mistake, I'll take any punishment. But please accept the gifts." 

"No. That's not it…". 

I went to each one of them and asked them to get up. 

Accepting their sincerity I decided to receive a few gifts. 

The workers were nervous about it, but they understood and backed down only after I persuaded them saying several times that it was okay. 

I kept the gifts that were mainly food and took out everything that will troublesome. 

When I chose only what I could eat or use myself, a Demon who was watching me handed some jewelry boxes with a desperate look in his eyes. 

If I didn't take it, I thought he would roll on the ground again, so I had no choice but to put it in. 

After organizing the gifts, I climbed into the wagon. 

"I'll get going now. Give my regards to Mr.Ergin…."  

"I'll make sure to say that. It was an honor to meet you Sir Ester."  

Our wagon began to move after receiving a desperate send-off from the worker Demons.

Job 33

Prev I TOC I Next

After leaving Kaldinium, the carriage slowly headed towards Elden Village. 

"....." 

"..." 

There was a heavy silence inside the carriage. 

Lia didn't seem to have felt the need to talk, while Reville and Lagos closed their mouths and just stared at me. 

I couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere, so I turned and talked to Lia quietly. 

"Lia. It's so different from what I thought." 

"What do you mean?" 

"I thought Ester was an ordinary honorary position. The people in the city, and the two people in the front are completely froze when heard the word Ester and didn't even breathe properly in front of me. Why?" 

I thought Ester was something similar to "honorary police officer" or "public relations ambassador" in Korea, 

However, Ester's influence doesn't seem to be a small one. 

While we were leaving the city, rumors spread, and crowds flocked around the wagon. 

"Ester is definitely an ordinary honorary position. But the issue was who appointed you in that position." 

"Doesn't the Demon Lord appoint all the Esters?" 

"No. Each of the four major families of Demon realm can appoint a Ester. Formally, it's the same Ester, but the Demon Lord's Ester always possessed a different meaning compared to others in the minds of people." 

I nodded as if I understood, while I was still processing the data I heard in my head. 

"I didn't know it was such a meaningful position since Boss and other people in the Demon Farm didn't treat it like something special." 

"You might have felt that way because Mr.Kaneff, Mr.Andras, and Mr.Ryan were all Esters." 

"What?" 

"Oh, didn't I tell you? Mr.Andras and Mr.Ryan were appointed by their respective families, while Mr.Kaneff was appointed as a Ester by the previous Demon Lord." 

Oh my. 

Now I can understand why everyone reacted like that when they heard the name Ester.

By the way, why such big shots are in-charge of a farm.? 

Thanks to Lia's explanation, I was able to solve the questions I had so far. 

And it made me reconsider my ideas on the position called Ester.  

While talking, the carriage got closer to Elden Village.  

I turned towards the two people who were still conscious of me. 

"Excuse me, you two?" 

– Flinch! 

– Flinch! 

I sighed softly at the sight of the two people getting nervous, just by hearing my voice.  

"Haah. It's very uncomfortable." 

"Can you guys act like before? I used the status of  Ester to help you, not to be treated like this."  

When I spoke my honest feelings, the two looked at each other with a very complicated expression. 

Then Lagos opened his mouth first. 

"Honestly, we still can't believe it. You said you had the status of a noble, but I didn't expect that you would be an Ester." 

"I thought it would be a noble family in namesake…"  

"I didn't hide it on purpose. Even I didn't know that it was such a huge position since I was just recently appointed as a Ester. I'm sorry."  

Lagos shook his head in surprise. 

"I didn't think that you fooled us. It's just that… I am extremely grateful to you that, now I am confused about how to act in front of you." 

Reville nodded his head at the words of Lagos. 

"You don't have to feel burdened. I didn't do much." 

"It might be a small thing for Sihyeon, but because of you many residents of Elden Village will be able to lead their peaceful life. Thank you so much."  

The two bowed their heads toward me at the same time. 

I was a little embarrassed, but I didn't stop them.

I accepted their gratitude.  

"It's okay. We're supposed to help each other when in troublesome times. There will be a day when I might need help too. So if possible, help me during that time." 

"Of course. We'll do whatever Mr.Sihyeon wants."  

"Hmm, then for starter, how about stop using the honorifics. It actually feels like you are afraid of me." 

"That....I did that to protect Sihyeon's face in a public place. It's not like I'm intimidated or anything!" 

" Really….It didn't felt like that."

"Hahaha!" 

"Hahaha!" 

A warm laughter came out of the carriage for the first time after a long time.  

The awkward atmosphere of the carriage disappeared. 

Soon after, the entrance to the familiar Elden Village began to be seen. 



As soon as Reville and Lagos arrived in the village, they prepared to gather people.  

They informed about the good news that the mercenaries will be coming along with the Merchant's visit.

And for the time being, both of them decided to remain silent about my status.  

I also thought that it was not yet time to reveal it to the villagers.  

When the wagon reached Racoon grandpa's store, Speranza came running towards me from the store. 

There were wreaths on her head and flower bracelets on her arms. 

"Speranza..! Did you had fun?" 

As soon as I got off the wagon, I took her in my arms. 

"Oh my! Did you miss me a lot? You didn't even care about me when I went out earlier." 

To be honest, I was a little disappointed when she only cared about the flower bracelet, while leaving the village, but seeing her welcoming me like this melted my disappointed feelings. 

"Bubuuuuu."  

"Huh? What's wrong ?" 

Speranza suddenly pulled my arm and tried to put something in my wrist. 

It was a flower bracelet made a little sloppily.  

However, there was no way that the flower bracelet made based on Speranza's small hand would fit in my hand. 

Instead, I put the flower bracelet on my index finger and middle finger like a ring. 

"Did Speranza make this?" 

-Nod Nod. 

It was ragged as if it would tear off if I put a little force on it, but the corners of my mouth went up when I thought that Speranza, made this while thinking about me. 

"Thank you. You did a great job".  

At my compliment, Speranza's pointed ears pricked up and she smiled brightly. 

It was a happier and more touching moment than when I received colorful ornaments. 

"Uncle! When did you come?" 

"Just now, and Miru, Thank you so much for playing with Speranza." 

"Hehehe. I taught her how to make a flower bracelet and I made a wreath for her."  

"Thank you so much. I owe Miru today?"  

She asked in a subtle tone, while twisting her body. 

"I heard there are a lot of fun and cool things in the city. Did you buy any gifts for me?" 

"Hahaha! For Miru who worked hard today, shall we find is there any gift from what's inside the carriage?" 

"Can I see it, too?" 

"Of course." 

"Hehehehe!!" 

The excited Miru jumped onto the wagon like a bullet.  

I burst into laughter and followed her into the carriage with Speranza.  

I chose an appropriate gift for Mirum from the gifts given by Mr.Ergin.

I gave Miru, a pocket full of rare fruits and a pretty headdress, and for Racoon grandpa, I gave a fruit liquor in a luxurious bottle. 

Both of them seemed to like the gifts, so their ends of mouth almost reached up to their ears.   

They begged me to tell me more stories about what happened in the city, but since I had to go back before it was too late, I promised them that I would say it the next time. 



On the way back to the farm. 

In the slow-moving carriage, I peeled the fruit he received as a gift and feed it in Speranza's mouth. 

– Munch munch munch munch munch munch munch munch munch. 

The little fox girl slightly pulled my collar as if saying she liked the fruit.  

I peeled the fruit again and took it to her cute little mouth. 

But then Speranza took the fruit in her hand and stretched it towards me. 

"Huh? Are you giving it to me?" 

– Nod. 

When I received the fruit and ate it, Speranza smiled brightly. 

Once again, she received the fruit from me by hand, and this time she gave it to Lia. 

"Thank you, Speranza." 

Speranza continued to take the fruit and gave it to me and Lia alternately, as if it was fun. 

The little fox girl, who had been busy for a while, got tired and fell asleep in my arms. 

Lia whispered in my ears, being careful of not waking Speranza. 

"She fell asleep right away." 

"Yes. I guess she had fun with Miru while we were in the city." 

"Ah! By the way Lia… Take this." 

"What?"

I handed over a box of jewelry to Lia. 

She came out of the surprise after a while, and changed her eyes towards the box. 

"It's a gift from Ergin, but I don't think there would be any chance for me using this. I want Lia to have it." 

"But… I… I…" 

"Hurry up. My arm hurts... it's heavier than I thought." 

Lia half forced accepted the box. 

After hesitating several times, she opened the box. 

Inside, necklaces decorated with red jewels were neatly placed. 

"I took a quick look at it while we were in Elden village. I thought it might look good on you." 

"Can I really receive something like this?"

"Of course. You helped me the most since Day 1 at Demon farm." 

"… Thank you. I'll cherish it." 

She carefully hugged the box tightly in her arms. 

I nodded my head with joy. 

"Sihyeon.....do you know…?" 

"…?" 

"You are the first person to give me a gift. I will treasure this gift." 

"…Hmmm." 

Lia smiled with a bright face.  

The smile, which seemed to be teasing me but sincere, was more beautiful than the red jewel inside the jewelry box. 

So I couldn't look at her face properly until we get to the farm. 

Speranza's calm breathing and Lia's cheerful humming flowed throughout the carriage.  

I got mesmerized in it while looking at the sunset, which colored the sky red far away. 

While keeping my eyes haIf-open and looking at the sky, a thought flashed in my head. 

If it really helps to keep the people around me happy . 

Being a Ester… 

Is not bad. 



It was the day of my mother's regular checkup. 

Last time, I couldn't be with her since I was busy, but this time, I took a day off in advance and forcibly followed her.  

I heard some criticism from my mother, for taking the day off, but this time, I wanted to meet the doctor in person and hear more details about mother's condition. 

"Lim Sihyeon. Come inside." 

"Mom, let's go in." 

I entered the clinic according to the guidance. 

After briefly greeting a doctor, who was in his 50s sitting in a chair, I sat down with a nervous mind. 

"Hmm…" 

The doctor looked at the test results he received today for a long time.  

I became a little nervous seeing him taking long time. 

"Patient Lee Saya. You got tested 3 months ago, right?" 

"Yes." 

"Haha. This is…" 

"Am I in a bad condition?" 

"No. It's the opposite." 

After briefly bursting into laughter, he explained by displaying the video on the monitor screen.  

"This is right after the surgery, that is, three months ago, and the one over there is the one we got today. This is the area where the surgery was performed, and the condition has improved significantly compared to three months ago. Blood tests also show very good levels."

"Really, Doctor?" 

When I asked back in excitement, the doctor nodded.  

"Honestly, even I'm confused because the results are that good. I thought your face has improved a lot since you came in last time, but it seems we don't have to worry about anything for the time being." 

"Thank you, Thank you so much Doctor!" 

"Thank you. Doctor" 

"Just make an appointment for a regular checkup just in case." 



On the way back home. 

I was so happy that I almost screamed. 

My mother didn't express it much, but she seemed to have regained her composure. 

Feeling like she had put down something heavy, that she has been carrying for a while. 

It felt light when we walked out of the hospital. 

"You've had a hard time, mom." 

"No, it's not me. My son did all the hard work."

While saying that mother rubbed my back.  

I felt really glad that I took the day off. 

If I hadn't heard this from the doctor in person, I probably wouldn't have believed it easily. 

"Mom, is there anything you want to do? Or is there anything you want to eat." 

"What suddenly?" 

"You've been fighting for a long time with the disease and the surgery. So how about take this chance to have fun once in a while. How about a short trip?"   

After thinking for a while mother opened her mouth. 

"There's a place I want to visit." 

"Where do you want to go mom.?" 

"The farm where my son works." 

"....?" 

"I want to see the place where my son works in person. Can you take me there?"

Job 34

"Oh… The farm….. where I work?" 

"Yes. I really want to go there. Can't I?" 

"Well, that's…". 

My curious appearance until a while ago disappeared due to an unexpected question. 

I evaded the topic slightly, hiding my confused appearance as much as possible. 

"You've seen a lot of farms in our hometown. Wouldn't it be more fun to go to a Resort Island or a nearby country? 

"You're right. But I've been curious about where my son works for a long time." 

"Why?" 

"That work helped us to pay back our debt, and thanks to the milk you brought from the work, I feel much better. So I wanted to say thank you to the people on the farm where you work. 

"Hmm..." 

"And also…" 

My mother looked at my face and continued to talk. 

"The atmosphere around you has improved a lot since you started working at the farm…..Isn't it? 

"Really.?" 

"Yes. Before you started working at the farm, you always had a depressed expression. I was worried that you might set you feet on the wrong path. But since you started working at the farm I was relieved. The number of times you laugh increased day by day after you started working there." 

What…?

Was I that depressed…

And was I laughing that much. 

I avoided making eye contact with my mother in embarrassment. 

" It's okay, If I can't stay long, I want to just say hello to your co-workers. Can't I?"

If someone else had asked for it, I would have refused with an excuse or a lie without worrying much. 

However, it was not easy to refuse my mother's request. 

I didn't want to disappoint my mother first wish to me, after all those years of suppressing her feelings and working for a long time for the family. 

"I'll ask about it." 

"If it's hard, you don't have to overdo it." 

"No. It's fine mom." 

"Thank you, Si." 

"Now. Shall we go out for lunch?" 



After a long time, Ryan accompanied by Andras visited the farm. 

"Welcome. Ryan and  Andras." 

"Yes, it's been a while since I've visited the farm. How are you Sihyeon."

" I'm fine . By the by, You weren't in the office this morning." 

" Yeah. I visited the Demon Lord castle, since I had some work to do there. And I met Andras there and decided to come visit together.." 

"Come inside. I was going to prepare lunch soon. You didn't have lunch yet, right? 

"Yes. Thank you Sihyeon. By the way, I heard rumors in Demon Lord castle that Andras always disappears during the Lunchtime. Does it have anything to do with the farm.?"

"Stop.…talking nonsense Ryan….. Sihyeon, Thanks for allowing us join the Lunch." 

I led the two into the farm building. 

"Come to think of it, Sihyeon. Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me about something?" 

"Ah…Yes. I'll tell you about it during the lunch." 

While heading to the Dining room, we ran into Lia and Speranza, who followed her. 

"Hello, Mr. Ryan. It's been a while since you last visited. And.... Mr.Andras, you're here again. 

" Hahahahahahahahahahhahah"

Ryan burst into laughter at the completely contradictory response of Lia. 

"Haaha. Since Lia is saying like this, then that means the rumors at the Demon Lord castle must really be true." 

"Ugh…" 

Andras scratched his head and turned his head away in embarrassment. 

Meanwhile, Speranza quickly hid behind my leg in the presence of an unfamiliar guest. 

Ryan turned his gaze towards Speranza. 

"Is this the Erul kid, you talked about. If I remember correctly, her name is Speranza…right?" 

"Yes. Speranza. You should say hi". 

In the past, she would have never come out of the back of my leg. 

But, now, much of her anxiety has disappeared, and she peeked out her face, looked at Ryan and waved her hand. 

Ryan also smiled and waved his hand, looking at her. 

Speranza comfortably ended her greeting with Andras, whom she had already knew, during his several visits. 

We once again started moving and reached the Dining room.

There, as usual, Kaneff was sitting with a half gloomy and half sleepy face. 

As soon as he found Ryan, he lifted his hand and greeted him. 

"Hey Ryan, It's been a while." 

" Yes. Mr. Kaneff." 

Ryan politely showed courtesy despite the insincere greeting from Kaneff. 

Kaneff's drowsy eyes turned sideways towards Andras. 

"Ah…. you came again?" 

"Come on…Really" 

Everyone except Speranza burst out into laughter. 



After lunch, the restaurant was filled with the smell of the tea prepared by Lia. 

A cup of fruit juice was prepared and placed in front of Speranza, who can't drink tea. 

I held the cup next to Speranza so that she could drink the juice comfortably. 

Gulp Gulp

"Is it good?" 

"Un… G o o d." 

Speranza answered my question adorably. 

Recently, Speranza began to speak short sentences. 

What's surprising was that she started speaking in Korean, not the language of the Demon world here. 

She only answered in Korean, even though she seemed to understand the language of the Demon world. 

As I was wiping the spilled juice around Speranza's mouth, Ryan, who was watching, opened his mouth. 

"You seem to be doing better than I thought with Speranza." 

"At first, it was hard. I think it's better now. Lia also has been helping taking care of her lately." 

"So, What is it.? you said earlier that you wanted to talk about something, right?" 

"Yes. What I wanted to ask is...…." 

I slowly explained what happened with my mother. 

Some useless stories were added, and the story continued a little longer. 

"Hmm. So Sihyeon's mother wished to visit the farm, right?" 

"Yes. It will be hard, right? Since it's a place where not anyone can easily come and go….," 

"It doesn't matter." 

"What?" 

"It won't be a big problem for a short visit. Of course, you have to promise me that she will keep it a secret to some extent." 

Ryan sipped the remaining tea and talked easily as if it was nothing. 

I asked back with a blank look. 

"It might be a weird question to ask, but, can you really give the permission this easily? 

"As you know, it's not that simple. It's a part of my responsibility to deal with procedural annoyance, and if there's a problem, I will be held responsible." 

He put down his teacup and smiled with a unique attractive smile. 

"But it's okay. Since it's Sihyeon's request. I told you last time, right? There's still a lot left to repay for the help you did to us. So don't worry, bring your mother." 

"Thank you, Ryan!" 

"Tell me your convenient day in advance. Then I'll schedule it accordingly." 

Things worked out easier than I thought, so smile started to appear on my face. 

Then I realized that there was still one more mountain to overcome. 

"What...? Why are you looking at me like that?" 

"Boss, did you hear what I just said….Are you okay with it?"

"Of course I heard it. Your mom said she wanted to see the farm, right?" 

Kaneff answered casually, putting the snacks that came with the tea in his mouth. 

"It's a hundred times better than strange people coming from Demon Lord castle. I don't care, so take care of it with Ryan." 

"Thank you, Boss!" 

He waved as if it was nothing. 

As my mother's visit almost became confirmed, Lia muttered with an urgent look. 

"Ah. The house is so dirty… I think I need to clean up the guest's room… Should I start cleaning right away?" 

"Lia. She's coming here just to say hello. You don't have to pay too much attention…" 

"No! As the only Maid of Demon Farm, such a complacent mindset is unacceptable." 

Lia shouted with a strong determined look, that was not usually seen. 

Then she left the Dining room, saying she should check the guest's room right away. 

"Hmm, Sihyeon's mother is coming, I can't miss it either. I also take a day off on that day…"

"Hey, Andras. If I see your face on that day, I'll write it down in the report to the Demon Lord castle, that, you are visiting the Demon Farm way too often." 

Andras was immediately got crushed by the brutal threat. 

When I said I wanted to bring my mother. 

I didn't know that all the farm members would accept it this easily. 

Rather, I was a little touched by the fact that they were preparing their best to greet my mother. 

I began to look forward to the day my mother would visit the farm. 



"Mom. Why did you prepare so much?"" 

"How can a guest go to a place empty-handed?" 

"No, I know that. But I think this is too much. People might think that we are going on a trip to abroad for a month." 

" What…I just brought some food ingredients to cook and some fruits to eat as dessert." 

My mother criticized me in a tone as if saying that this was not enough. 

I shook my head and stepped out of the house with heavy loads. 

As soon as we came out of the house, Ryan's vehicle was stopped in front of our house. 

He greeted my mother with his dazzlingly handsome face in a friendly manner. 

"Hello, Sihyeon's mom. It's a great pleasure to meet you. I'm a Ryan who is indebted to Sihyeon." 

"Oh my, hello. You don't have to come all the way to meet us like this." 

" No. I forced Sihyeon to allow me do it since I really wanted to. Give me your luggage." 

We got into the car with luggage enough to fill the trunk of the car. 

"Sihyeon's mom, did you hear about our farm from Sihyeon?" 

"Yes. Honestly, I still can't believe it. I can't believe my son was working in Demon world. I have only heard about it on the news." 

After I got permission to visit the farm, I confessed everything I had kept as a secret for a long time to my mother. 

How surprised she was when she first heard the story, I still remember it clearly. 

"You don't have to think it as too strange. It's like how people going to abroad and working there, It's just that instead of going abroad, Sihyeon is going to the Demon Realm."  

"Yes, Thank you. Thinking like that makes me feel a little more at ease."

Ryan skillfully continued the conversation to relieve my mother's tension. 

I was grateful for the consideration on his part. 



" Wow…Demon world is such a nice place". 

It was the first words that came out from my mother's mouth as soon as she set foot in the Demon Realm.

A few minutes ago, we were in a stuffy city. 

It's the feeling everyone will get when they come from the stuffy city and looked at these beautiful fields, green forests, and mountain ranges.

My mother looked happy while enjoying the fresh air after a long time. 

It was the same reaction I had, when I first came to the Demon Realm for the first time. 

" Sihyeon's mom, please wear this ring. With this you'll be able to talk to the people in the farm." 

Ryan handed my mother the same interpretation ring as me. 

And he slowly guided us toward the farm. 

As my mother headed to the farm, she constantly admired the surrounding scenery. 

When she found a pretty flower, she took pictures and stood still to enjoy the scenery. 

The farm building began to be seen from afar. 

"Mom, we're almost there. What you see over there is the farm building." 

"Really…..It's much bigger than I thought?" 

When we came near the farm, the people who were waiting approached us. 

"We've been waiting for you. Ma'am. Thank you for visiting us." 

"No…No. If I knew there were people waiting, I should have hurried over." 

Looking at the man greeting my mother, I was at loss of words. 

Neatly groomed tied up hair and a clean shaven face with luxurious clothes, that seemed like he was going for a noble's party in 18th century.

More than anything, he had a cheerful eyes, smiling face and a calm voice.

"Si, who is this?"" 

"Uh…Well….. That…is…" 

The man replied on my behalf with a relaxed smile. 

"Sorry for the late introduction. I'm Kaneff, the one in charge of this farm." 

Who...

Who is this guy…..?

Job 35

Prev I TOC I Next

Of course, the being that I was most worried about before taking my mother to the farm was Kaneff. 

From my experience, he was far from being respectful or  at showing courtesy for others. 

Of course, as I experienced it in person, I learned that such behavior originated from his free personality that was not bound by formality.  

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, the first impression anyone gets of him is not good. 

I thought it was very surprising when he allowed the invitation because he hated annoying things that were cumbersome.  

But what he's showing right now is really… 

"I didn't know the representative of the farm was this young. I thought you might be a much older."  

"It's can't be compared with you Ma'am. When I first saw I mistook you as Sihyeon's sister. I never thought you would be his mother."

"Hahah…Oh my, I'm happy to hear such words from such a wonderful person." 

".....?!?!" 

I looked at Ryan with a puzzled look.  

But, he was also in a state similar to mine, perhaps surprised by Kaneff's behavior.  

"Let's go in, ma'm. Let me introduce you to the other members of the farm. Oh…How inconsiderate of me. Give me the heavy luggage. Let me carry it." 

Kaneff escorted my mother very naturally.  

Seeing how the thing that I thought would be difficult worked out so well, I started to get worried… 

No, scared.  

However, it is also possible to say, that he might mess up like the thing with the messenger last time. 

I followed Kaneff and mother without saying anything.  

As we passed the front door, Lia greeted mother with a calm appearance. 

It was an elegant made image that reminded me the first time I met her. 

"Oh.. You must be Miss Lia, right?" 

"Yes, Sihyeon's mom."  

"I've heard it a lot about you from my son. I heard you helped him a lot since he first came to the farm. Thank you."  

"No. I've been helped more. And feel free to call me Lia." 

"Ok. I'll do that."  

My mother gently held Lia's hand and thanked her.  

She seemed embarrassed for a moment, but she quickly smiled and held my mother's hand. 

Pad pad pad 

The cute footsteps came from the second floor.  

After a while, Speranza appeared on the side of the stairs.  

Speranza found me and ran towards me, but stopped mid-way recognizing a strange being next to me,

"Si, is that cute little girl Speranza"? 

"Yes, that's right." 

"Hi, Speranza?" 

Speranza showed signs of limping at my mother's welcome greeting, and hid behind Lia's back since it was her next best option.  

My mother looked a little disappointed at the appearance of Sperenza hiding. 

"Organize your heavy luggage first Ma'am. Then I'll help you look around the farm."  

Following Kaneff's instruction, Lia began to guide mother to the room and helped her organize the luggage. 



Poo woo woo. 

Pow-woo wooo 

Poo woo! 

"Ho-ho. You Guys, it's itchy."  

My mother burst into a pleasant laugh at the attack of the three Yakum siblings.  

The first one to approach mother was of course Tanduk.  

Even though he showed a little vigilance, he came near. 

He came close and smelled her, then pulled her clothes, and suddenly started acting cute. 

Thanks to Tanduk, Kawaii and Akum also began to show interest in mother, and soon she got surrounded by the baby Yakums as they are now. 

Mother took the pranks of the three siblings leisurely and smiled happily while watching them. 

Meanwhile 

The Demon members of the farm who were watching the appearance muttered with a serious look. 

"I can't believe she got close to baby Yakum so quickly. As expected of Sihyeon's mother. She is in a different level." 

"I think it's in their blood. They mush have mysterious power to tame the Beasts".  

"Hmm. That's an interesting hypothesis. If that's true, I'd like to somehow bring her into our Farm family." 

"Hahaha…" 

I laughed in vain looking at the serious conversation between Ryan and Lia. 

Of course, my mother became close faster than other Demons, but it was not because of some mysterious power. 

The baby Yakum only instinctively felt and acted close to my mother's smell, atmosphere, and actions that looked similar to mine. 

Clench 

Speranza stood next to me held my hand tightly.  

The little fox girl's eyes were on my mother and the baby Yakums, who were having fun. 

"Speranza, do you want to hang out with them?" 

Speranza's expression was filled with hesitation. 

She wanted to approach, but she did not move easily, perhaps because of the vigilance still prevailing in her heart.  

Rather than forcing Speranza's back, I decided to watch with ease. 

So that someday she can overcome the vigilance and take a step on her own.  

Mother had her first meeting with not only baby Yakums but also Hermosa. 

"You are Hermosa, right?" 

Boo Woo wooo. 

"Thanks to your milk, my body has improved a lot. Thank You, Thank you so much. Please look after Si." 

Did Hermosa understand my mother?  Hermoasa slightly raised her head and replied. 

Boo wooooo

My mother smiled and gently patted Hermosa.  

My mother, who was having a good time with Yakum, suddenly looked surprised seeing her watch and came towards me.

"Oh my! It's already been this long." 

"What long mom….There is still time." 

"What time.? If I can't prepare lunch now, when will everyone eat."

"That…."  

My mother didn't care about my reaction and continued to talk. 

"I brought a lot of things, so I have a lot to prepare. Guide me to the kitchen." 

"Uh, yeah. Okay." 

"I'll help you."

"Oh…Thank you Lia," 

After saying her goodbye to the Yakum family, we headed to the farm building in a hurry. 

"Si, can you put that in?" 

"Lia! Bring me the luggage I brought."  

Me and Lia were busy following my mother's instructions. 

Lia was mainly in charge of chores, and I helped with simple kitchen stuffs. 

Even though it was an unfamiliar kitchen, my mother skillfully completed the dish. 

In an instant, the kitchen was filled with delicious smells. 

"Lia. Can you try the taste.?" 

"Me?" 

"Yes. I'm worried whether it'll suit the taste of the people here." 

"Try it."  

My mother fed the japchae (Sweet potato starch noodles stir fried with vegetables) which had just been completed, directly to Lia. 

An exclamation burst out of Lia's mouth. 

"It's really good!" 

"That's a relief. Then try this, too." 

When she heard that it was delicious, my mother was excited and started feeding Lia this and that food.  

Since I learned how to cook from my mother, it would feel like an upgraded version of taste for the Farm members. 

"Sihyeon and his mother are really good at cooking."I'm so jealous."  

"It's not that hard. Lia can do it too." 

"No….I don't have talent…" 

"You don't need to have talent. It's enough if you're determined to serve delicious food." 

"Really?" 

"Of course!"  

Lia's eagerness to cook again soared because of my mother's support. 

As a person who witnessed her cooking in person, I started to worry a little. 

Wouldn't Kaneff might have gone crazy if he had seen this? 

Anyway, after lunch preparation was over, the prepared dishes were placed on the table one by one.  

Steamed ribs, japchae full of mother's taste, and other side dishes, mother carefully prepared since last night. 

The table was so full of food that couldn't be prepared in a short time  

"I didn't know you'd prepare so much food. Didn't you had a hard time?"  

"It's fine. And I did it because I wanted to treat everyone here."  

"Thank you for the meal. Ma'am."  

Starting with Kaneff, Ryan and Lia also thanked mother.  

Speranza, who sat next to me, also glanced at my mother. 

As they settled in front of the table one by one, someone else appeared at the Dining room. 

It was Andras. 

"Oh. it's not too late. Right.?" 

"You b*s…Ahm…. Oh, Andras you came." 

At that moment, Kaneff almost showed his true self, but he returned with great willpower to a relaxed and elegant appearance. 

"Oh my! There was one more person."  

"I'm sorry. I arrived a little late because I had to take of some things . I'm Andras, who regularly manages the farm facilities."  

"Hello, I'm Sihyeon's mom, Thank you for taking care of my son." 

" No no. It's a pleasure meeting you. Can I join you on the meal?" 

"Of course." 

With the help of my mother and Lia, Andras' seat was quickly created at the table.  

Of course, not to mention that it was located at the farthest place to avoid Kaneff's burining eyes. 

With all the Farm family members gathered, the meal began.  

My mother, who was taking care of others to eat comfortably, also came to the table.  

My mother settled next to Speranza. 

It looked like Speranza was stuck between me and my mother.  

Sperenza flinched and was surprised since there was still some vigilance left. 

Still, she didn't run away to my side. 

The meal began in earnest. Fortunately, everyone was busy moving their hands and mouths as if my mother's food suited everyone's taste. 

In particular, Andras, who came despite Kaneff's threat, looked very satisfied.  

Of course, braised short ribs became the most sorted out food.  

The soft meat, not tough, was deeply seasoned with sweet and rich seasoning.  

Farm family members loved it so much that I had to get another pot of braised ribs from the kitchen within few minutes after the beginning of the Luncheon. 

While looking at everyone's meals, my mother carefully took care of Speranza, who sat next to her. 

"Do you want to eat braised short ribs?"" 

"Un.…" 

"Okay. I'll make it easier for you to eat." 

Thanks to the delicious food, Speranza, who was vigilant at first, also naturally accepted the caring of my mother. 

Mother smiled happily at Speranza's baby bird-like appearance. 

After lunch, I went out on a short walk with my mother, Speranza, and Ryan.  

Lia remained to wash the dishes and clean up.  

Andras also participated in the cleanup since he couldn't fend off Kaneff's intense gaze. 

Speranza was walking side by side holding hands tightly with my mother, as if she had completely erased all the vigilance against her.  

I was able to relax a little by looking at the friendly two.  

Ryan, who was watching it together, said. 

"I think it's because your mother and Sihyeon look alike, Speranza got closer quickly." 

"Me similar to my mom….?" 

"Yes." 

I made a puzzled look. 

I've never thought I looked like my mother.  

In response to my strange expression, Ryan smiled and added.  

"You don't look alike on the outside, but the atmosphere, and the first impression. Perhaps the others on the farm also thought the same." 

"Is that so?" 

I felt mysterious for a moment. 

Hearing that I resemble my parent as a grown-up adult like this felt good and somewhat awkward at the same time.  

I brought up another topic to hide my embarrassment.  

"I was surprised today. Ryan must have been busy, but you took a day off to welcome my mother, and the other farm members also welcomed her so much… Honestly, I was a little worried at first." 

"Hahaha. Actually, we were also worried about what if your mother doesn't like us?" 

"Ah. Really?" 

"Hmm. I wasn't going to tell you this, but….."    

Ryan came closer to me and whispered in my ears. 

"The person who worried the most among us is probably Mr.Kaneff. He actually asked me how he should behave." 

"What? The Boss?" 

"Shh! This is a secret. If Mr.Kaneff knew I said it, he'd kill me."  

He winked, raised his index finger in front of his mouth.  

I nodded, thinking about the strange behavior Kaneff showed today.  

"Ah… That's why Boss acted like that today."" 

"Mr.Kaneff showed the courtesy in his own way. Even though he acts recklessly, he's a quite responsible person. I'm sure he wanted to show his true self only to the people he values." 

When I heard Ryan's explanation, I was touched. 

Bringing my mother who had nothing to do with farm work.  

I thought it would be cumbersome for everyone, but I was touched by the fact that they paid such attention and welcomed me sincerely. 

"I… I was loved a lot more than I thought." 

"Hahahah!"  

I became so shy even after saying it with my own mouth, so I urgently turned my eyes to the far-sighted mountain. 

Ryan couldn't hold back his laughter, and giggling as if he found it funny.  

Fortunately, at that moment my mother and Speranza, who were far ahead, began to call me, and I was able to get out of the awkward atmosphere by moving quickly.  

I was glad that I brought my mother to the Demon Farm. 

A smile that appeared on my face stayed on for a while.

Job 36

Prev I TOC I Next

Speranza picked up the flowers in the field and began to make flower bracelets in the way Miru taught her.

She was still clumsy, but when I looked at her mouth and the careful hands, she seemed very serious. 

After moving the small hands busily, a bracelet with a noticeable red flower was made. 

Speranza shyly held out the completed bracelet to my mother. 

"Oh my, are you giving it to the old lady?" 

Nod Nod. 

"Thank you, Speranza. You made it so beautifully." 

My mother accepted the bracelet with a happy expression. 

After carefully wearing the bracelet on her hand, she patted Speranza's head and praised her. 

Speranza's face got dyed in red and her tail started waving. 

She looked very pleased. 

"Wait a minute." 

"....?" 

This time, my mother bent some flowers and quickly made a bracelet similar to Speranza's. 

And she put the bracelet in Speranza's wrist.

Speranza's eyes started sparkling as she saw the bracelet that was completed really quick and beautifully.

As if a little excited, her two pointed ears were raised. 

"Ho. Do you want me to tell you how to make it?"" 

Nod Nod 

My mother burst into laughter at the intense nodding. 

And my mother took Speranza in her arms, and began to teach her how to make bracelets.

Ryan muttered in admiration at the appearance. 

"I think your mom got closer to Speranza than Sihyeon right now". 

"Yes. I think I'm getting a little jealous." 

"Hahaha." 

I said it half jokingly, but in fact, I was seriously a little jealous.

How much time did it took for me to make her show that bright smile towards me, but my mother got it on the first day of meeting. 

Is this how Lia felt usually, while looking at me and Speranza?

Ryan, who was watching my mother and Speranza, confirmed the time and opened his mouth. 

"Sihyeon, I think we should get ready to leave". 

"Ah. Is it already that time?" 

"Yes. It's been a while since I had a such a relaxing day, So it feels really short."

Receiving his words, I informed my mother of this fact. 

"Mom, it's almost time to go back." 

"Already…..?" 

"Yes. I think we should go back and say goodbye to the farm members." 

My mother stood up from her seat with a look of regret. 

Speranza also stood up with an anxious look.

Upon returning to the farm building, other farm members were already preparing to see us off. 

My mother greeted each and every one with a sad face. 

"Boss, please take good care of Si." 

"You don't have to worry ma'm. Leave it to me. We couldn't talk much since you came late today. So Let's have a long chat next time. Is it okay.?"

"Of course. I'll be waiting until then."

"Lia, You are doing well in cooking. Believe in yourself and be more confident." 

"Yes, Thank you. Sihyeon's Mom, Please take this." 

Lia handed over a small bag to my mother. 

There were several bottles of Hap in it.

"I heard that Sihyeon's mom likes Hap. I packed the freshest one and put it in." 

"Oh, my. You don't have to...." 

"We were treated to a really delicious meal. So please receive it." 

When Lia forcefully place the bag containing Hap into my mother's hand, my mother reluctantly accepted it.

At that time, Andras, who was watching, coughed and stepped forward.

"Hmm, I personally prepared something, so I hope you accept it."

Andras took out a small box and handed it over to my mother. 

There was a ring in it. 

"It's not great thing like Hap. As a token of my Thanks please have it. It's an artifact with some useful magic. I've also placed some defense magic, which can protect you if you encounter any danger."

"Oh my….Isn't this a very expensive item? I don't know if I can have such a precious artifact." 

"No, it's not that precious. I made it by myself, so it only cost a little bit.You don't have to feel pressured." 

"Thank you, Mr. Andras. I'll use it well." 

Andras looked a little flattered when my mother picked up the ring. 

Of course, Kaneff and Lia watched him with an expressions that said they didn't like it.

Finally, my mother approached Speranza. 

Lowering her posture, she looked into Speranza's eyes and said goodbye. 

"Speranza, Thanks to you, I had a lot of fun today. I'll come back again next time, let's have more fun together." 

Speranza's sharp ears drooped, and she didn't even make eye contact properly as if she felt sad for departing with my mother.

My mother stroked Speranza's head several times with a pitiful expression.

"Let's go now. I'll take you to the gate." 

"Yes."

At the words of Ryan, me and my mother said goodbye to the farm members.

" Everyone. Thank you. I had a great time." 

" Bye guys. See you tomorrow. I put the leftover ribs and japchae in the refrigerator, so make sure to heat it and then eat for dinner." 

I was little worried about Speranza, who stood with a dark expression next to Lia, but I thought it she will be alright.

I took my mother and started moving away from the farm along with Ryan. 

How long did we walk? 

Suddenly I heard Lia's surprised voice and felt a short footsteps approaching us in a hurry. 

Looking back, Speranza was running towards us. 

"Speranza ?" 

Hug! 

Speranza's face, holding my legs with both hands, was already covered with tears. 

I was confused and froze for a moment. 

Speranza's words from her mouth sharply stabbed my heart. 

"Do n t…D o nt…" 

"…!!!" 

It was an incomplete word, but the emotion behind it got completely conveyed to my ears. 

I was heartbroken at the sight of Speranza crying, and saying 'Don't'

While I stood freezed because of the unusual appearance of Sperenza, which she usually doesn't show, my mother approached Speranza. 

Without saying a word, mother hugged Speranza tightly and comforted her.

The little fox girl began to cry in her arms, wondering what was so sad. 

"buuuuu…buuuuubuuu". 

"I get it. Speranza was very lonely. Huh.?" 

Not only me, but also the Ryan, and other Farm members that followed late, stared blankly at my mother and Speranza. 

The crying subsided, and Speranza's cute little face got ruined by the tearful runny nose, but she regained stability and was tightly sitting in my mother's arms.

My mother handed over the calmed down Speranza to me. 

"Now, Si." 

"Huh ?" 

I was worried that Speranza might cry again, but she sat calmly in my arms.

My mother took the handkerchief given by Ryan and gently wiped Speranza's face. 

"Was her name Speranza mean 'Hope'."

"Yes."

"I think you named her really well. When you were born, I didn't know what name to give you, so I thought a lot about it and named you Sihyeon, which means Vision, hoping that you could see things which people normally don't . I think like you I also nailed it." 

My mother smiled brightly and turned towards Ryan. 

"Mr.Ryan, is it okay if Si stays here for today, and I'll be the only one going back?" 

"What? Ah…Yes, he can stay here." 

"Then Si stays here." 

"Mom, Are you fine going alone?" 

"Do you think I'm a kid. Of course it's okay." 

My mother smiled brightly and patted me on the shoulder.

The expression of her pride made me tear up. 

"Speranza, I have to go. Instead, I'll leave my son behind, so you won't be lonely." 

"Un…" 

"Okay. Don't forget this grandma. I'll definitely come back next time."

My mother started departing after she finished greeting Speranza again and said goodbye to the rest of the people again. 

"Sihyeon, don't worry. I'll take your mother to home safely." 

"..... Thank you Ryan." 

So, my mother left the farm with the Ryan. 



"Are you alright…Sihyeon's mom?" 

"Well…"

When Ryan asked, Sihyeon's mother smiled vaguely.  

"I'm proud that there are people who depend on my Si, but at the same time, I also feel lonely." 

"Yes. Sihyeon has become an indispensable part of the Demon farm now."

"I knew this day would come. Sihyeon has been tied up in one place for too long because of me." 

The mother, who had a melancholy expression, smiled brightly. 

"But... there's also a silver lining about it." 

"…?" 

"Because of that I'm spending some quality time with a handsome guy after a long time." 

"Hahahah. Thank you Sihyeon's mom. It's really a honor to be praised by a beautiful person." 

The two walked side by side laughing happily.



After my mother left, I came up to the room with Speranza. 

She was still shaking as if scared that I would leave.

"It's okay now dear. I won't go anywhere. We'll be together…..I'll be with you this whole day." 

"..." 

As I continued to soothe her, Speranza's anxious expression started dispersing little by little. 

Nevertheless, her two small hands grabbed my clothes and didn't let go.

What made Speranza so anxious all of a sudden?

This has never happened before when I left the farm. 

She showed unusual signs of anxiety today.

I played a song on my cell phone to soothe her anxiety. 

It was the ballad of Speranza's favorite singer and the song that we listened together in the warehouse. 

"Bu…Bu..." 

Speranza's breathing sound stabilized to the sweet melody of the song. 

It was only after I saw her falling into a deep sleep, I could take a breather. 

At the end of the song on my cell phone playlist. I too fell asleep slowly next to Speranza. 



I felt very strange. 

It felt completely different from my usual dreams. 

As if watching a vivid movie, the scenes quickly passed one after another in front of my eyes.

There was Speranza, who looked younger than now, and people who looked like her parents. 

In addition, Beast-people, who showed the appearance of a fox, are also with her. 

Speranza kept smiling happily there. 

No worries or anxiety was seen in her eyes.

Such a happy scene quickly disappeared after a few scenes. 

After that, only dark and darker memories continued.

She parted with her parents and headed to a strange place with some strangers.

She ran through a thorny path with the strangers, while being chased by scary beings. 

The people around her gradually disappeared one after another, and at the same time, Speranza's smile started drying up.

Eventually, Speranza, who was alone, continued to move in the direction that the last stranger who was with her told her.

For a very long time, she cried breathlessly every night hiding in bushes and trees in anxiety and fear. 

She kept crying every night.

Bububububuuuuuuuuu. 

Bububububuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. 

I felt frustrated when I saw the crying small baby fox.

I floundered to get to Speranza somehow. 

My whole body was as heavy as if I was restrained with chains. 

But I didn't give up. 

Biting my teeth tightly, I took one step at a time. 

A little more… 

A little more...! 

The moment when both hands got stretched out with all my might, they touched the crouched baby fox. 

I hugged the baby fox in my arms. 

– Flash! 



"Haah! Haah!" 

Gasp

What I saw as soon as I opened my eyes was the Yellow light of the dawn and the ceiling of the familiar farm building. 

My whole body was soaked in cold sweat as if I was pressed by a terrible sleep paralysis. 

Flick. 

I turned my head at the movement I felt in my arms.

Speranza looked at me with a worried look. 

And she raised her hand to wipe off the cold sweat on my forehead. 

I stared blankly at it.

My head was in a messed because of the scenes I saw in my dream. 

At that time, Speranza, who was in my arms, looked at me and whispered. 

"P…a..p..a ?" 

"Pa…p….a ?" 

"Papa" 

At that moment, I was dazed as if I was hit by something on my head.

I think I misheard it. 

How should I react to this? 

Am I still in my dream?

I didn't respond to the 50,000 questions that filled my head. 

Seeing that Speranza's expression got darker and darker. 

As soon as I saw that, a thunderbolt hit my head. 

Complicated thoughts disappeared in an instant, and only the thought of wanting to make the girl in front of me smile filled my head. 

"Speranza, Did you call me?" 

The girl, who had been surprised for a while, soon began to smile broadly. 

Speranza stretched out her arms and hugged me. 

After wriggling in my arms for a while, she fell asleep quietly.

I remembered the look my mother sent me before leaving the farm. 

I closed my eyes and muttered to myself. 

Mom, is my vision right ? 

With a comfortable mind, I also fell asleep holding Speranza in my arms.

Job 37

Prev I TOC I Next

Boxes piled up in front of our front door. 

I looked at them with a little tired face. 

"It's Sihyeon, right?" 

"Yes, but where did this come from?" 

" It's written Lee Junho Strawberry Farm." 

"Oh…" 

The boxes were sent by Junho, the eldest son of Uncle. 

"Thank you Sir." 

"Thank you for the service." 

I greeted farewell to the courier guy and looked at the boxes. 

The inside was full of fresh ripe red strawberries. 

Not long ago, I heard that brother Junho would send strawberries through uncle, but I didn't know he would send this much. 

It's definitely more than enough for me and my mother to eat together. 

It was a lot. 

-Kachak. 

Maybe because of the fuss, the door of the neighbor opened and someone slightly showed their face. 

"What's the occasion…Why did you order so much?"  

"I didn't order it, an acquaintance from our hometown sent. He runs a strawberry farm." 

"Strawberry? I really like strawberries." 

Seo Yerin came to the side in her casual wear. 

Since the Rift incident, the lady next door, became more friendly with us. 

My mother frequently shared food with her, as a form of thanks for the help we received during the incident, and Seo Yerin also gladly accepted them, saying, she missed the home-cooked meals. 

The ensuing exchanges quickly brought us closer than before. 

Now, she has become close enough to come over to our house and have a meal together at any time. 

She treats my mother so well that she presented my mother high-end cosmetics, luxury bags,..etc.

She and my mother even goes on shopping together. 

I was grateful that she seemed to take care of what I couldn't take care of. 

On an additional note, since both of us were in the same age group, we had decided to call each other comfortably. 

"Do you want some Rin ? I don't think both my mom and me can eat all of it anyway." 

"Really? Then I'll have also ask Aunt and get it." 

"Aunt Saya, are you there. It's Yerin.!" 

Seo Yerin walked into our house like it was her own house. 

After laughing at her appearance for a while, I began to move the strawberry boxes into the house. 

My mother was also surprised to see numerous strawberry boxes. 

"What's all this.?" 

"It's from brother Junho's strawberry farm. Didn't Uncle say about it when he called last time.?" 

"Yes, he did. But, I never thought he would send this much.Rin, you should take some." 

"Hehe. Thank you Aunt Saya." 

Seo Yerin smiled hearing mother's words and began to pick strawberries from the box. 

Looking at the strawberry boxes that didn't decrease even after giving to Rin, my mother said as if she was troubled. 

"Si. What shall we do with the rest?" 

"Hmm…" 

Looking at the stacked strawberry boxes, faces of some guys, passed over my mind. 



"What's the name of this red fruit?" 

"Strawberry." 

"Hmm. Strawberry… … Not bad." 

Kaneff looked at the strawberry and took a bite. 

Unlike his lukewarm reaction, his hands kept picking up strawberries. 

"I've never tasted such sweet a fruit before." 

"Me, too. I really want to visit the world where Sihyun lives."

Unlike Kaneff, Andras and Lia were excited very much at the taste of strawberries. 

– Pat. Pat. 

"Papa.., Papa….., this." 

"Are you giving it to me, Speranza? Thank you for the concern darling." 

I ate the strawberries Speranza picked for me. 

"Hmm. I think it tastes even better since came from my Speranza darling's hand". 

Giggle 

Speranza laughed as if she liked my exaggerated reaction. 

Meanwhile, Kaneff, who was watching this, muttered as if he found my reaction pathetic. 

"Sihyeon, don't you have become more and more stupid since the arrival of that Erul kid ?" 

"What's wrong with that Mr. Kaneff.? I think it's nice to see both Speranza and Sihyeon happy." 

"Lia is right Mr. Kanfeff. Just because you are jealous, you shouldn't make such snarky comments." 

"What? Me..getting jealous? What do you guys take me for. You and you don't deserve these strawberries." 

Click..Clang

The chains that came from Kaneff's hand grabbed the Strawberry box and lifted it in the air.

"Ahhhhh! Mr. Kaneff, what are you doing?" 

"Is this the attitude of a person-in-charge Mr. Kaneff ?" 

When the strawberries in front of them disappeared, agitated Lia and Andras raised their voices. 

In response, Kaneff took out strawberries one by one using the chain as if he wanted them to see him eating. 

The two couldn't do anything to the cheeky attitude of Kaneff. 

Then they started sending a desperate look of help towards me. 

"Boss, please put down the strawberry box. Is this the attitude you want to show in front of a kid.?" 

"What did I do? They started it first." 

"If you keep doing that, I will give all the remaining boxes of strawberries to Andras?" 

At my threat, Kaneff reluctantly lowered the strawberry box and placed it back in its place and sent a hot gaze towards Andras and Lia as if saying ' this isn't over'.

It suddenly felt like I became a father of not one but four Demons. 

While I was shaking my head, driving away the regretful thought on my head, Andras opened his mouth with an excited voice

"Sihyeon, can I get some strawberries on my way return.? I want to show the taste to the Demons I work with." 

"Yes. It's okay. Just leave one box that's wrapped as a gift and take the as much as you want from the rest of the boxes." 

"Thank you, Sihyeon!" 

While I was looking at Andras, who was smiling happily, Kaneff asked in a serious tone. 

"Gift? Whom are you going to give it to ?" 

"Gold watch chamber merchants are coming to Beast-people Village today. I owe you a lot of things last time, so I'm going to repay them, even if it's a little." 

"To that Ergin or something merchant?" 

With an expression, as if he didn't like what I was doing, Kaneff said. 

"Why do you prepare such a gift for him?" 

"Of course, for the help I got  from him." 

"Help? Don't you know that, there is no such word called help in  the dictionary of a merchant belonging to the Golden Clock Chamber?" 

"But he did help me without expecting any reward…" 

"What do you mean by there was no reward? Did you forget the kind of status you have in this Demon world.? 

A Ester appointed by the Demon Lord himself, was my position in this Demon world. 

"From the perspective of the Golden Clock, they'll think it's a great benefit just to get to know about the new ester. No, they must have already sold your information somewhere else." 

"Be careful. They always smile on the outside and pretend to be considerate, but their minds only think about how to make money. 

Andras also supported Kaneff's warning, saying. 

"I exchange a lot of deals with the Golden Clock Chamber through my family, but it's not bad to be careful as Mr. Kaneff said. Maybe they'll try to gain something based on the favor they had given to Sihyeon." 

"Lia. If that Ergin or something says some kind of nonsense to Sihyeon, just rip his mouth off." 

"Yuk, I don't like to do such vulgar things, but I'll be right next to Sihyeon and protect him." 

I scratched my head with an ambiguous look at the more negative response from everyone. 



Elden Village. 

Not long ago, this small village almost suffered great damage because of the Beasts that started settling around the area. 

Fortunately, as Golden watch Chamber merchants began to visit the village by hiring mercenaries, the damage caused by the Beasts started decreasing, and now the village has regained its former stability. 

By trading with merchants of a scale that was incomparable to before, the village was gaining vitality that had never existed before. 

It was so good that I and Lia, who visited after a long time, noticed the change in atmosphere at a glance. 

The first to notice our visit was of course, the children of the village, who were waiting for me. 

News quickly spread that I had arrived among the children thirsty for snacks and candy. 

It didn't take long for children to flock around me. 

After handing out candy and snacks to the crowded children, and after the satisfied children were scattered, Reville and Miru slowly approached. 

"Candy Uncle, Did you  have a hard time.?" 

"Hahahah. It's okay. It's something I do because I like it. 

"How have you been?" 

"Thanks for asking Reville. I'm doing fine" 

"How have you been doing, Lady Maid and Lady Fox?" 

Lia smiled slightly and nodded her head. 

Speranza stuck close to me as she still felt unfamiliar towards Reville. 

"Papa…" 

Reville and Miru's eyes opened wide, hearing Speranza's words. 

At their reaction, I smiled awkwardly and scratched my head. 

"Hahahah.." 

Reville smiled. 

"Something good must have happened to Sihyeon. For now let's get going. Lagos is waiting. 

"Uncle Reville. I'll play with Speranza." 

Miru jumped onto the wagon and sat next to me and Speranza, and began to chat. 

Speranza, who was not used to talking yet, nodded her head and responded quite actively to Miru's conversation. 

I headed inside the village to meet Lagos with Reville. 

Since it was the day of an important merchant's visit, the villagers were busy. 

When we arrived in front of the familiar house, Lagos greeted us with a smile all over his face. 

"Welcome Mr. Sihyeon. I've been waiting for you." 

"Hello, Lagos. You can speak comfortably." 

"I feel comfortable with this way." 

I got off the wagon and started walking side by side with Lagos and Reville. 

"The situation in the village seems to be better." 

"Yes, it is. Thanks to the Golden watch merchants hiring mercenaries, we don't have to worry about getting attached by the Beast's anymore. In addition, we were able to buy high-quality items at a low price. The lives of the villagers has improved a lot." 

"The merchants who used to come here before, often ripped us off.

" It's all thanks to you." 

I got embarrassed looking at the two, praising me with their trustful eyes.

"But I'm now worried about how long these days will continue. Thanks to Mr. Sihyeon, we earned their favor for a while, but from the standpoint of a merchant, this place would not be very attractive. " 

Whether it's the Fruits and herbs collected directly from the forest. Or whether it was a by-product of the Beasts obtained from hunting. 

Local merchants could make small gains by ripping-off, but there was nothing to benefit from the standpoint of the big scale merchants from Golden watch Chamber. 

Lagos was well aware of the fact, so he couldn't help but look a bit gloomy. 

"Lagos, don't worry too much. Me, the villagers and people from other villages are preparing little by little. Don't try to do everything on your own." 

"Okay. I'll accept the help as much as I can. Thank you. I feel reassured just by hearing it." 

Talking about this and that, we headed toward the entrance of the village. 

When we arrived, I began to see a procession of merchants from afar. 

The man who leads the procession on horseback…. 

Was Ergin, whom I  had met in the city of Kaldinium, 

He found me and came to my side. 

"It's been a while Sir. Ester."
