How to get Healed at Demon Farm

Chapter 8

My name suddenly came out of the mouth of the demon I met for the first time.

In the midst of confusion, I nodded my head.

Ah. Yes. I am Lim Sihyeon.

As I revealed my identity, the eyes on the mask became slightly curved.

He probably smiled.

"I'm glad I asked, just in case. Nice to meet you. Im Andras Lidnel Schnarpe."

"Huh"

My head went blank for a moment at the very polite and formal greeting. 

The large demon calmly waited for my answere.

YesNice to meet you. Im Lim Sihyeon, who works on this farm."

"Nice to meet you too Mr.Lim Sihyeon. Is it okay if I come inside?"

"Yes. Yes! Come on in.

"thank you."

After politely asking for permission, the demon slightly lowered his head and passed through the door.

Because of his tall height, the ordinary door felt small.

Is Mr.Kaneff there?

"Yes. Hes in the dining room right now. May I guide you?

Yes Please.

I led the guests to the dining room.

Due to his tall height and dark atmosphere, his first impression was very uncomfortable, but, contrary to my expectations, I felt comfortable about him with just the short conversation I had with him.

In the dining room, Kaneff was still dozing off, while Lia, who had just finished cleaning up, saw us and came towards us.

"Huh? Mr.Andras is here.

"Long time no see. Ms. Lia. How were you?"

Yes. Im fine. Please wait. I'll get you a coffee right away."

The two naturally exchanged greetings as if they were close, and Lia headed back to the kitchen to prepare coffee.

Kaneff, who had been dozing off heard the commotion and slowly opened his eyes.

After confirming the presence of the guest with blurry eyes, he spoke out with a sagging yawn.

Ahhh you came?

"Yes. Mr. Kaneff. How were you?"

Of course I am fine. What are you doing here.? Are you here to check the barriers?

I have also come to deliver food and other daily necessities as well.

Isnt it a bit early for you bring them. Is it running out that fast.?

Because now we have one more member in the farm.

Naturally, the eyes of the two turned towards me.

The tall demon looking at me added,

"Ah! And I brought the items that you requested separately.

"Huh? I didn't ask for anything?"

This is an item that Ryan asked, but it is probably the item that Mr.Lim Sihyeon had requested.

What? What did I ask for?

Before I could even get a curious feeling in my eyes, the tall demon began to pull something out from his robe.

Strangely, books that were not small in size, poured out one after another from his robe.

It was like watching a scene of magic.

In a short span of time, he put about 10 books on the dining room table.

Thanks to that, the dining room was filled with the smell of old books, as if in a library.

"What is this?"

I heard that Mr.Lim Sihyeon wanted to get information about Yakum.

"Ah ."

Then I remembered the thing I told Ryan some time back. 

The information that can be found only through people in the farm was too fragmentary and limited, so I wanted to know various information regarding Yakum.

So, I told Ryan about these concerns a few days back. 

Thanks to him, this situation seemed to have been staged.

There are so many books related to Yakum, so I had to struggle quite a bit to get this much."

"thank you. So Mr. Andras Is it okay if I call you like that?"

Yeah, its fine.

While I was expressing my gratitude to Andras, Lia, who had prepared the coffee, made a sharp noise.

Ah! What is this?"

I brought these book to deliver it to Sihyeon

Thats not what I meant. Why did you put such a dusty thing in the dinner table?

Since the Books hadn't seen the light for a long time, the books were full of stinky dust.

Hurry up and put it back in.

Oh, I get it.

Andras began to shove his books into his robs.

When he took out the book, he felt like a magician, but now it was like watching a ridiculous performance. 

Kaneff couldn't contain his laughter, so he burst into laughter.

Since Lia didnt like the look of the place she just cleaned, she threw everyone, including me out of the dining room.

_________

Wow. That girl. Don't you think that she is starting to look more like the devil grandmother?

Andras quietly nodded his head. 

We were kicked out and headed straight to Kaneff's room.

Upon arriving in the room, Andras put the books back on the desk.

Mr Andras. May I take a look at the book?

"Sure. These are the things I brought for Sihyeon.

I picked up one of the books from the top.  

The size and weight of the book made my wrists tingle. 

It just didn't look easy to read.

But the real problem was something else.

Im sorry, I cant read this.

"Yes? Any problem?"

I cant read.

Ah, thats right. I forgot that you are using an interpreter ring.

When I checked the unfamiliar characters in the title of the book, I realized belatedly that I was an illiterate in the Demon Realm. 

It was a fact that I completely forgot because the interpreter's ring was so good.

Its a bit cumbersome, but youll have to ask Mr.Kaneff or Ms.Lia to read it for you.

Ah, Okay.

Then its going to be difficult. Not only me, but Lia cant read this either.

Andras asked in surprise at Kaphff's words.

Wha. what are you talking about?"

Most of these books are written in the southern language. Even if I can understand the words, I can't read the language easily. The same goes for Lia.?

Andras looked quite perplexed as he had not expected such a situation. 

Seeing that, Kaneff continued talking as if it was insignificant.

You can interpret it and tell. You can read everything right.

It is true, but I thought I only had to deliver the book today

Then give him an interpretation and then go back.

You know Im very busy, right? Yesterday too, I went home late Can't I take it back and explain it to him next time?

At the request that felt sad, Kaneff gave a stern response.

"What. cant you do it if you're busy.?

I felt sorry for Andras, so I opened my mouth

"thank you. Mr Kaneff. Im fine Mr. Andras you can take the books back

He dont have to take it. Some of the people I know speak a southern language better than him. Does the head of the Schnarpe family know the southern language well?"

By the way, what was the relationship between you and Schnarpes head?

well.Hes my father.

Ha ha! What a coincidence! That's great. How long has it been since I contacted your father?

Call him right now and tell him that Kaneff is calling, so come out here right now.

A coercion that is almost intimidating.

I have known Kaneff only for a while but I know that he wasn't someone who would say something as a joke.

But the thing that surprised me was, it seemed like the leader of Schnarpe clan would really visit the farm just to be an interpreter at Kaneffs words. 

Andras was aware of this fact, so he meekly gave up the resistance.

"I'll do it."

"What? Didn't you say you were busy? Dont overdo it, because you can just call the head of Schnarpe

"No. I'd like to! I speak the southern language very well. Leave it to me." 

Really..?  Then there's nothing I can do about it. I really thought I could see the face of the head of Schnarpe after a long time. Its really regretful.  

Contrary to the words spoken, Kaneffs face is smiling with no regrets at all,

Even me, who was watching, was tired of the really evil smile.  

The appearance of Andras, who seemed to have given up, made my heart feel sorry for him. 

Even though, today was our first meeting, I wanted to pat the big shoulder of Andras, which seemed to be down.

As a compensation, why dont you have lunch here."

Im fine.without meal I also think it will take a lot of time to translate, so. How about I just skip the meal.

At those words, Kaneff said with a sullen smile and a soft tone which didn't suit him.

"it's okay. I forced you to work, I have to treat you meals properly. Its okay todays lunch will be prepared by Sihyeon over there, not Lia.

"Ah. really?"

" why would i lie? So, are you okay then?

"Yes. I was kind of worried. Of course, I thought that Ms. Lia was preparing..

Whats wrong with Lia preparing food?

What Ms. Lia brings out isnt food, its poison Heh..! Ms Lia.!

Lia was already standing beside Andras when he started speaking. 

Ah.

Mr.Andras. He eventually fell into the trap set by the devil again.

Judging by the reaction of Kaneff who was laughing rolling on the floor, it must have been that he was deliberately induced Andras to speak. 

Eyes cold enough to chill the spine flowed from Lia. 

Of course, the target was the restless Andras.

Mr.Andras, Im sorry I brought you coffee? It seems like you hate it, because its not coffee but POISON.

"Oh, no. Ms. Lia. It's not like that."

Lia completely ignored Andras' words and gave coffee to me and Kaneff.

Kaneff said with a relaxed smile, enjoying the scent of coffee.

I think Lias coffee  smells great today. revelation. isnt it?"

That relaxed smile. 

I know it came from the joy of plunging a demon into a pit.

Since I too didn't want to receive Lia's freezing cold gaze.

What you mean by revelation. Lia's tea has always been fragrant. Yoyou are too late to realize.

The corners of Lia's lips rose slightly, as if she liked the compliments of Kaneff and mine. 

Would you like have some more coffee.? There's still a lot left.. And Mr.Andras, you smells like dust, so could you please go to the corner over there? Please take books on the table with you.

"Yes.. "

Andras packed up the books and headed to the corner of the room.

At first it was a new, the second time it gave me a laugh, and finally it ended in a sad note.

___________

Whoo! Woo woo woo!

Machines flew around the fence with low vibrations.

They were slightly larger than the fist, and moved very freely in the air without any special flying device. 

It looked like a magic tool I had only heard of, something called an artifact.

In this age, even humans can create artifacts, but compared to the technology of the demons, it is only at the level of imitation.

But what catches my eye more than artifacts..was the figure of Andras reading a thick book quickly while controlling them.

He was reading at a speed that looked like, he was just seeing pictures in the book.

Can you really read the contents of the book? 

Maybe he's just turning over the pages? 

It was suspiciously fast.

After a while, 

-Chuck! 

Andras turned the last page and closed the thick book into his robe's sleeve.

At the same time, the floating artifacts returned into his sleeve like birds returning to their nests.

After trimming the hem of his sleeve once, he walked over to me and scratched his head.

Sorry to keep you waiting. Checking barriers is a simple and time-consuming task.

No. It was very interesting and fun.

"Is that so?"

" Besides, it was me who said that I wanted to see the barrier inspection in person. So its fine."

Andras's eyes widened slightly at my answer. 

Although I could not see his entire expression because of the mask, he seemed a little relieved.

Contrary to his appearance, he is a very caring demon.

I learnt a lesson.

Whether human or demon, they should not be judged only by their outward appearance.

Have you finished checking the barriers?

I need to look at a few more in the future. Can we take a break and come? It takes lot of my energy so I need some time to recharge myself.

"Absolutely. Let's rest there for a while."

Me and Andras found a suitable rock and settled down.

And as soon as he got seated, Andras pulled out another book and started reading it.

It looked like he was rushing to translate the book, perhaps because of Kaneff's threats.

Once again I felt sorry for him.

I I am sorry that you are suffering because of me.

"Ah! no. Its not only because of Mr.Kaneff. I also got a request from Ryan to help Mr.Sihyeon. It's true that I'm busy, but I think I can do it. 

Andras took his eyes off the book for a moment and looked at me.

I was also treated to a really delicious lunch. I am really satisfied with it. Did you say that the food was called Curry'?

Before leaving for barrier inspection, I made a curry with fresh vegetables and meat for lunch, and made use of some sweet taste.

It seems that Andras really liked the curry I made.

I am glad that you liked it. Can I get some for you later?

Is that okay? thank you. Mr.Sihyeon. Can I take it with me when I work overtime today.

He had to work overtime because of me, but it was really sad to see how he liked doing it because he got curry.

I promised to myself that I have to pack plenty of curry.

After a short break.  

Andras went around the farm again and continued the inspection.

When he went around three places. 

Andras informed me that the inspection was over.

Is it usually gets finished this sooner..?

Compared to the size of the very large farm, it seemed that the inspection of the barrier was finished quickly.

Its because we divide areas and inspect them separately. If you want to check the barriers all at once, walking around all day is not enough.

Ah, thats right. 

I nodded and looked again at the fence of the farm.

"The demons are really amazing. To be able to set up a barrier on such a large farm."

It is absolutely not easy for even demons on a scale of this size. Because of the effort and cost involved, there was a lot of controversies even among the demons.

Hmm. But do you have to really do that? When I saw them, the guys called Yakum, they seemed very docile."

Andras answered my question seriously, with a slight frown.

Mr.Sihyeon. Yakum, apart from the meek personality they usually shows, they can do things that cannot be easily thought of.

?

Ordinary weapons and magic dont work on them. They are also resistant to deadly poisons and mental attacks. Except for a few very powerful demons, they are almost invincible.

He looked at the farm building in the distance for a moment before continuing.

If the group considers something or someone to be dangerous, they will not stop their anger until they destroy all the dangers around them. Its a disaster because there are only very few ways to respond.

Ummm.

So, we decided that a barrier that does not pose as much threat as possible is the best way to maintain the farm. Do you understand now?"

Ah yes. Thanks for the explanation.

A heavy and serious answer to a light question.

I nodded, hiding my embarrassment inside.

Then, another question popped into my mind.

If they are this much afraid of Yakum, why did the demons build this farm in the first place? 

Why do you want Yakum's milk? 

For what purpose? 

While thinking for a moment about the newly created question.

Booo woooo woooooo

Yakum's cries were heard from afar.

Boo woo woo!

At the sound of the cry not far away, I ran straight to the fence.

There, the Yakum, whom I had interacted with when I came to the farm for the first time, was waiting for me.

It was you Hermosa How are you?"

Boo woo.

Hermosa answered my greetings.. 

I named her that way because it means beautiful in spanish and she looked the prettiest among the Yakum I have seen.

Now she got used to the name enough that she recognizes it as her name.

I focused on stroking her.

Through my sympathetic ability, I felt the pulse of life flowing from her inside.

Through the wave that became clearer than before, I could guess that childbirth was just around the corner.

The babies are healthy. Since there's not much time left now.. Don't overdo it, and eat well. Understand?"

Boo!

While I was looking at the condition of Hermosa, other yakums came up to me. 

The boys poked their heads towards me and sniffed.

"sorry. sorry. I didn't bring anything delicious today. I'll bring it to you later."

After bringing the purple forget-me-not for Hermosa, other yakums began to show interest in me.

After giving out plenty of forget-me-nots and communicating steadily, I have built up intimacy with a fairly large number of Yakum.

Today, I skillfully calmed the mood of those who are sad because there is no forget-me-not.

Its really.a miracle.

Andras murmur came from behind me. 

He was staring out at the yakums with big eyes.

Pardon?

Ryan said, he really seemed to have found the right person for the farm job this time, and he was so excited and bragging.

"haha. It's a bit embarrassing. It's not that great.|

Now that I see it for myself, I know. Why was that friend so excited? Sihyeon was really a very special person.

His face was half-covered with a mask, so I couldn't see his face, but his tone exuded surprise and a little disappointment.

I felt embarrassed by his reaction. 

I opened my mouth hastily to change the topic on purpose. 

Its okay. you can come closer. You seem too far away.

Hmmm. I think this is appropriate.

Andras steadfastly rejected my proposal, waving both hands. 

Considering a reaction similar to Lias reaction last time, the demons seemed to be more reluctant to Yakum than I thought.

It just looks cute to me. 

At that moment

Boo woo woo woo!!!

A very loud Yakum cry could be heard in the distance.

The cry was so loud that the ground shook slightly.

When the yakums heard the sound, they left my side one by one and headed to the place where the sound was heard.

Hermosa who remained until the very end followed them with regret.

Sihyeon. What is this cry?"

"It's the cry from the leader of the Yakum pack. It's a call to the pack."

"Ah~."

The biggest guy over there. The one with a bighorn, he's leading the pack."

He's 1.5 times bigger than the Hermosa.

Bighorn Yakum glared at my side with eyes full of vigilance.

The other yakum were gradually increasing their intimacy, but that guy showed no sign of getting close.

Whats the problem with him? He always does that when Yakums spend time with me 

Hearing my story, Andras was startled and trembled. 

Sihyeon. Do you remember when that boss Yakum started acting like that?" 

"Um, I can't remember exactly.

Many wrinkle started forming between Andras forehead, along with his slightly trembling eyes.

Then he took out the large book he was reading earlier from his sleeve and began to urgently check something.

Didnt you say that the Yakum, who you called Hermosa is expecting a baby?

"Yes. So what?

I can't say for sure, though. If I look at what I just saw in the book, it seems that  Bighorn yakums behaviour has something to do with having cubs.

?

It is said that when there is a Yakum about to give birth in the herd, the head of the herd seeks a safe place for the safety of the young cubs and the mother.

Feeling a bit uneasy, I waited for the next word.

" If the leader senses any danger in its surroundings, it runs rampant destroying everything in the surrounding until the danger disappears.  

The words that forecasted a crisis came out from his mouth.
