How to get Healed at Demon Farm Chapter 122

After the photoshoot event. 

I started putting in the equipment that I had taken out. 

Andras sneaked up to me and looked at the items I had brought.  

“Sihyeon, you brought a lot of other things besides the equipment with which you took pictures, right?”  

“Oh… These are the things I ordered while I was buying them on the Internet.”  

I finished organizing the equipment and put things that I hadn't taken out yet on the table.  

Colored pencils for coloring, writing tools and notebooks for studying, and some books. 

Speranza had already taken out a colored pencil on the table and started coloring.  

Andras asked, pointing to the books I had put up.  

“Sihyeon, what are these books about?”  

“It's a book that tells you how to take pictures. I'm going to learn a little bit as a hobby.”  

“Senior, couldn't you just put that camera where you want to take the picture?” 

“You can take pictures like that. But, there are a lot of things to study if I want to take more cool pictures. You have to pay attention to the composition and exposure of the light according to the situation, and you have to use the functional parts of the camera.”  

Alfred lost interest in hearing the difficult explanation, but Andras looked at the camera and the book with an interesting look. 

“Do you have any hobbies, Andras? Do Demons have hobbies?”  

Speranza, who was coloring, was the first to respond to my question.  

“Hobby? Papa, what's a hobby?” 

“Um… Something you don't do as a job, but you do because it's really fun?”  

Speranza frowned slightly because it was a little difficult for her to comprehend. 

I added a little explanation to help her understand.  

“Speranza, you listen to Yoon Jiwoon's song a lot these days with the audio that papa bought you, right? Then listening to music is Speranza's hobby.” 

Speranza, who heard the explanation, thought about something and replied with a big smile. 

“Then playing with Papa, Akum, Gyuri, and sister Miri is also my hobby!”  

It's a little different from the usual hobby, but I didn't force myself to point out the wrong part. 

Well, everything is a hobby for children who are always full of things they want to do.  

“My hobby is also playing with my sweet little girl.” 

“Hehe!” 

Speranza smiled pleasantly and hugged me. 

I then turned my gaze to the person standing next to me.  

Alfred replied with an ambiguous expression.  

“I don't think I have any hobbies. Since I was young, when I had time, I've been training.” 

“Didn't you ever want to do anything as a hobby?” 

“Um… I don't think I had much time. Even if I did, all I did was repair my swords?”  

Alfred seemed to have spent all his life with the sword. 

This time, I turned to Kaneff. 

“Me?”  

“Yes, does Boss have any hobbies?”  

“I'm just like… drinking beer and taking a nap at home?… Can you call that a hobby?” 

His answer amazed me, more than Speranza's answer, in a bad way. 

I lost my words at his twisted answer.  

Are there really no Demons with normal hobbies? 

I looked at Andras with last hope. 

“What about Andras?” 

“I don't have anything special either. Like the last outing, I like to design and produce what I think is necessary. Recently, I sometimes spend my time studying the things Sihyeon brings.” 

“Oh!”  

I was slightly impressed by the first plausible hobby activity.  

“Oh! And I'm having a great time hosting classes for Sihyeon and Speranza. It's a hobby in a way, right?”  

I nodded with satisfaction.  

A hobby that is hundreds times more better than drinking beer and taking a nap… 

“By the way, Sihyeon's studies on Demon language are a little slow these days?… I know you're busy, but shouldn't you do what you have to do? I've been organizing what Sihyeon is lacking today, so we'll look into it together in today's class later.” 

Maybe it's better to just drink beer and take a nap?  

I tried to avoid Andras's eyes and turned to the last person, Lia. 

“ Does Lia have any hobbies?” 

“I… I like….” 

She looked at our faces with embarrassment. 

Everyone waited for her next word with a curious look. 

“Cooking……It's fun to do.” 

As soon as the word cooking came out of Lia's mouth, Andras and Kaneff quickly hardened. 

Only Alfred, who didn't know the situation yet, looked puzzled. 

Lia also looked sullen as she looked at our reaction. 

I felt very sorry for her, to be not able to do what she likes. 

I took out one of the books I had bought. 

Then I approached the discouraged Lia and talked to her. 

“Lia. I promised you last time, right?” 

“What? What… promise….” 

“I said I'd help you practice cooking when I got back from my vacation. Don't you remember?” 

I picked up the book I had and showed it to her. 

“Oh…” 

“Huh?!” 

“Sihyeon, you don't have to?” 

I heard a sound of astonishment from Andras and Kaneff, but I ignored them and continued to talk to Lia, who looked surprised. 

“What do you think? Would you like to practice cooking together for lunch today?” 

“I think it'll only cause you trouble again…” 

“It's okay if you can't. You can improve as you learn. And you said it's something you like. If it's something you like, other people will cheer for you.”  

“Sihyeon…” 

Lia's eyes quickly became teary because of the piled-up emotions about cooking in her heart.

“You'll try, won't you?” 

“Yes… I'll do my best to meet Sihyeon's expectations.”  

Lia showed her motivation by clenching her fists. 

Lia and I entered the kitchen with our aprons. 

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

Her eyes were filled with strong will and a desire to challenge. 

All the other farm members followed us. 

Each of them had a different reason to follow, but there were two who didn't know the current situation.

Speranza just followed me, while Alfred followed because of pure curiosity.  

Meanwhile, the two, who have experienced Lia's cooking, followed, saying they should prepare for emergencies that may arise.  

To be honest, I recommended cooking to Lia with confidence, but as a person who has experienced her cooking, I was also anxious. 

Still, I couldn't make it obvious in front of her, so I kept my composure as calm as possible. 

“Are you ready, Lia?” 

“Yes!” 

Lia answered briskly with a very bright look on her face as if she was happy just to be able to cook. 

“The dish that we're going to try today is egg rolls.” 

Egg rolls. 

In fact, it was a little embarrassing to add the word “challenge” to make egg rolls. 

The ingredients were simple and the recipe was simple.  

However, I thought it was the right choice to cook, considering Lia who lost her confidence in cooking.  

Plus it's Speranza's favorite side dish!  

Personally, I like to use carrots and onions to accentuate the color and texture. 

Today, I was planning to teach Lia, how to make an egg roll using only eggs and salt – as simple as possible. 

“Lia, do you know egg roll, right?” 

“Yes, I've seen Sihyeon make it a few times up close.” 

The recipe is very easy, too. 

“Grease the pan and pour the egg mixture into the heated pan, and when it's cooked, just roll it carefully. It's easy, isn't it?” 

Very easy recipe! 

And yet Lia listened to me very carefully. 

“Let's get started right away. I'll be watching from the side.” 

“Yes, then…” 

She started cooking with a slightly nervous look. 

It wasn't a bad start 

She put oil on the pan placed on the fire, and at the same time, broke the egg and prepared the egg mixture. 

She added the salt and stirred it well.  

The process was so neat that it looked like the workmanship of a skilled chef. 

“I think you can pour it now.”  

At my signal, Lia carefully poured the egg mixture over a moderately heated pan. 

The egg began to cook golden brown with a slight splash of oil. 

But something started to get weird here.  

Ptattat! 

Suddenly, the well-cooked egg began to emit a burning smell with the sound of a small firecracker. 

“Uh…uh?” 

I also checked the strength of the fire just in case, but there was no problem at all–it was in medium flame. 

For now, we continued with the firepower as low as possible.  

After the eggs were cooked to some extent, Lia used a spatula to roll them out from the edge. 

The shape was more plausible than expected. 

But… Contrary to its plausible appearance, the smell has already given off an unusual atmosphere. 

Lia's expression was sad because she already felt the atmosphere.  

“egg rolls! egg rolls!”

Speranza smiled brightly when she saw that her favorite dish was completed.  

I felt sorry for Lia, but I didn't want to feed this dish to Speranza.  

I gave Andras a look for help. 

Soon after he understood my intention, he secretly talked to Speranza. 

“Speranza, would you like to go upstairs with me? I have a special toy I want to show you…”  

“Toy? Hmm…Then egg rolls ?” 

“Boss uncle wants to eat a lot of egg rolls right now, so why don't you give up on the egg rolls and come back to eat them later?” 

Speranza looked at Kaneff with a slightly troubled look. 

“Buass uncle, do you want Speranza's egg roll ?” 

“Uh, huh? Uh… I want to eat them. Ahh…I'm really hungry. I want all the egg rolls!”  

Kaneff also acted awkwardly as he couldn't let Speranza eat the egg roll.  

“Umm….. Then I'll give it to Buass Uncle ” 

“Oh. Thank you, Speranza.” 

“Oh, my! My daughter is so nice. I'll make you a lot of delicious egg rolls soon if you play with the teacher for a while.” 

Speranza smiled bashfully at my compliment. 

And she followed Andras and left the kitchen without any complaints.  

As soon as Speranza was sent out, everyone who remained in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief, except  Lia. 

“Then… let's taste it.” 

“I think it will taste good, regardless of its appearance .” 

“Haaaa… I didn't expect to eat this again.”  

I, Alfred, and Kaneff took a piece of egg roll to the mouth in order.  

And as soon as I put the egg roll in my mouth, the reaction exploded immediately. 

“Ugh?!!” 

“What's wrong with this taste? What's wrong with the texture?” 

At least Kaneff, who is most familiar with Lia's cooking, silently chewed the egg roll.  

It must have only been eggs and salt… …and the cooking process was done exactly.  

But now, there was a lot of weird taste in the egg roll. 

It tasted burnt and a bit rotten. 

Even the texture was closer to the feeling of bad wateriness than to the unique softness of the egg roll. 

In a sense, it can be called a masterpiece? 

I thought it would be okay if I helped, but now I feel that my thinking was shallow 

Lia bowed her head again and again.  

I felt uncomfortable because I felt like I had hurt her. 

What should I do about this?
