How to get Healed at Demon Farm Chapter 163

Two kids clung to my legs like the Beetles that clung around a tree.

Light pink hair, half-closed eyes, dainty horns, and chubby cheeks.

It was the twins whom I met not long ago in the garden of the Barbatos mansion.

I fumbled through my memory for a moment and came up with the names of the twins.

“Ray… and Shasha?”

– Nod.

– Nod.

The children nodded one after another.

They looked up at me with a tremendous sparkle in their eyes as if they were glad that I remembered their names.

The corners of my mouth went up without realizing it because I felt the pure affinity of the children.

I bent my upper body to make eye contact with the twins.

Then the two children naturally came into my arms.

I was happy and amazed to see them trying to reach me somehow.

In fact, I only met the children for a few hours, but if someone stranger saw this scene, I would be misunderstood as their real father.

“Mother, didn't I say you? My twins love him so much.”

“Ho! Really! It wasn't easy even for me to get close, and I didn't know there would be someone who the twins would be interested in like this!”

I raised myself up with the children in my arms.

In front of me, Diana and Erma were looking at me curiously.

I asked the two of them with a puzzled look on my face.

“Are you both here to attend my swearing-in ceremony?”

“Of course. Did we bother you?”

“Oh, no. I didn't mean to say that……I never expected you to come in person.”

“Really? My second son was going to come with me, but the family was still in a mess, so we decided only I and Erma attend the ceremony.”

Her second son, the Barbatos family head, tried to attend my swearing-in ceremony.

I couldn't hide my surprise at her words.

Recently, I learned a lot about aristocratic manners and customs, and it was basic that behavior changed depending on the other family, status, and honor.

I was only recently recognized by the Demon Lord as a noble and was given an estate.

Compared to the five great aristocratic families with their long histories, I'm like a puppy.

And I can't believe that Lord Barbatos was going to participate in such a puppy's swearing-in ceremony…!

In the first place, even Godmother Diana's attendance might feel strange for the aristocratic society.

It was nothing short of a grand expression of respect and support for me from the Barbatos family.

Knowing the meaning, I expressed my sincere gratitude to the two guests.

“It's a pleasure for me to have both of you present. Thank you very much.”

“Umu….I..”

“….me..”

When I mentioned only Godmother Diana and Erma, the twins whined in my arms while pulling my clothes.

“Oh! I'm so glad you guys came, too.”

The three of us burst into laughter together with the cute whining of the twins.

“Excuse me,”

Andras approached us with an urgent look and talked to us.

“What's wrong, Andras?”

“Sihyeon. People and luggage are still arriving from the Barbatos, so I think you'll have to postpone the conversation.”

“Oh…”

As Andras said, people and luggage were constantly increasing around.

Even though it was quite a large space, it filled up in an instant.

“If we don't move now, there will be trouble for other guests to arrive.”

“Is that so Mr. Andras? I'll lead everyone. Could you tell me where to move the luggage?”

“I'd appreciate it if you could.”

Erma began to lead the people with the help of Andras.

Thanks to this, the luggage that had hindered the dimensional leap was quickly cleaned up and moved to another place.

Watching the scene, I was surprised by two things.

The first was Erma's skillful leadership, which seemed a little light but great, and the second was the enormous number of people and objects sent by the Barbatos.

From the workers needed for today's event to the chefs who will prepare the food for dozens and people with musical instruments.

The scale was enormous.

“Wow… there's a lot of stuff. Those people with musical instruments are bands, right Andras?”

“Yes. Music can't be left out of these events.”

I never thought I'd be treated like this in my lifetime.

As I was making a blank expression, the children in my arms poked me in my cheek.

Thanks to that, I came to my senses.

“Isn't it a bit too flashy?” said,

“Hmm… To be honest, it turned out to be a lot bigger than I expected. I never thought Godmother Diana would come in person.”

“I was also really surprised. “

“It will probably be a hot topic among the nobility for a while..”

“Ahhh… and maybe it's a good thing that Lord Barbatos didn't come in person… Andras, you didn't invite any burdensome guests, right?”

“…….Andras?”

Andras didn't answer.

When I felt uneasy about him desperately avoiding my eyes.

Once again, I felt a surge of heavy magic. Another group appeared little by little in the vacant lot that had been cleaned up.

“Sihyeon.”

“Yes …”

“I think I invited a suitable guest rather than whom Elaine invited.”

Among the party who had just completed the dimensional leap, a boy with mature eyes approached me slowly waving his hand.

“Oh! It's been a while. How have you been?”

Kael, the former head of the Verdi family, has once again appeared on the farm.

In a sense, he was a far more eccentric guest than Godmother Diana.

“Heh heh heh…”

A disappointing smile came out without me knowing.

The twins in their arms waved to Kael without knowing what I was thinking.

Ergin of the Golden Clock Chamber immediately prepared to attend as soon as he heard the news of Lim Sihyeon's swearing-in ceremony.

Lord Cardis was one of the favorite trading partners of Ergin.

Lord Cardis had an easy-going character, and he also felt completely different from the normal aristocrats.

He did not show any arrogant behavior like the usual aristocrats Ergin had always seen or he disrespected merchants.

He was polite and kind regardless of his position.

Of course, Lim Sihyeon's straightforward personality was one of the reasons Ergin liked him, but the biggest reason was that he was the person who brought him a lot of profits.

Ergin grew very quickly by taking charge of selling strawberries and strawberry jam.

And he had no intention of being satisfied with just that.

Strawberries and strawberry jam are definitely not the end.

He was expecting another big opportunity through Lim Sihyeon.

Rather than his reasonable reasoning, it was the gut feeling of a Merchant.

So Ergin packed many gifts for the swearing-in ceremony.

He prepared a lot of pretty clothes, strange toys, and snacks for the Erul child, and he bought a lot of spices and unique fruits that Lim Sihyeon showed interest in last time.

Of course, expensive ornaments and jewels were also basically prepared.

Ergin didn't worry because if Lim Sihyeon refused, he could always bring it back.

In fact, these gifts didn't mean much.

There was a trump card that he prepared separately.

“Chief Jorn! It's really necessary. We have to attend this ceremony together this time and nail the establishment of our branch in the new estate before anyone else.”

Creating a Golden Clock Chamber branch on the territory that Lim Sihyeon will rule was the main objective of Ergin this time!

But Ergin's ambitious plan has been stuck before it could even start.

“Well… I don't know yet. There are strawberries and strawberry jam in the Cadis estate, but isn't that all we can get right away? Why do we have to move the branch in Kaldinium…..?”

Bringing one of the key figures of the Golden Clock Chamber to the swearing-in ceremony was successful, but he has repeatedly failed to persuade him for the branch to be established.

'What a prick… Why don't you know that Kaldanium has no meaning anymore?'

Ergin felt frustrated at the sight of Chief Jorn who insisted on a stable choice.

No matter how much he explained it, he only repeated the original answer and refused to listen to his opinion.

Chief Jorn tapped Ergin on the shoulder with a gracious smile.

“Didn't you get impatient because of the recent big success? Too much investment is the characteristic of a gambler, not a merchant.”

Ergin forcibly resisted the swear words that were about to pop out from the inside.

On the surface, he appears to be giving advice to him, but in reality, he is acting to embarrass Ergin.

'A gambler. Rather, you are at fault for being complacent with your position as Chief and not seeing opportunities properly.?'

The figure of chief Jorn, who once grabbed every opportunity that came his way and became one of the leading merchants in the Demon world, felt more pathetic today.

'Isn't this why we're losing our customers to the Orphine chamber of commerce? haa…….'

Chief Jorn muttered in a relaxed manner with a happy smile, not knowing Ergin's burning heart.

“Let's go to the swearing-in ceremony today and relax. After all, I don't think there will be anything to look forward to at the Swearing-in ceremony of a Lord on the outskirts.”

“…Alright.”

Ergin nodded his head with a resigned expression, unable to convince Chief Jorn, who had his head clogged up.

He quietly shut his mouth and prepared a congratulatory message to the new lord in his head.

The Golden Clock Chamber carriage stopped in Elden Village before arriving at the swearing-in ceremony.

Lagos, the Deer-man, recognized the flag of the Golden Clock Chamber and approached the carriage.

“Mr. Ergin.”

“Long time no see, Mr. Lagos. How's everything in the village?”

“Don't even start about it. Because of our Lord's swearing-in ceremony, the village is in a mess. I'm glad we had prepared the roads in advance.”

“Haha, thank you for your hard work. Mr. Lagos, aren't you coming to the ceremony?”

“I have some more guests to guide. I'll be there soon. Have a safe trip, I'll meet you at the ceremony.”

Ergin said goodbye to Lagos and got back into the carriage.

Chief Jorn did not get out of the carriage until the end and only nodded to Lagos' greeting.

“Ergin, is that Beast also attending the swearing-in ceremony of the Lord?”

“Yes. I think that quite a few Beast-people have been invited to the swearing-in ceremony, not just Mr.Lagos.”

“I can't believe I have to be with those creatures, Huh~ This sucks…….”

Chief Jorn frowned, showing signs of great discomfort.

“Well… Chief. The Lord here cares deeply for the Beast-people of the Elden village. Mind your words and actions as much as you can…”

“I'll take care of that,”

Chief Jorn replied coldly, cutting off Ergin's words.

Ergin felt offended and his mind became nervous once again.

'Ugh! Why the f*ck did I bring this person here? I hope he doesn't screw things up……'

The cold-faced Chief Jorn and nervous Ergin arrived at the venue of the Swearing-in ceremony.

The slightly awkward atmosphere between the two quickly disappeared as soon as they got off the carriage.

“This?!”

“Oh …”

The appearance of the stage, which was installed outdoors, made the eyes of the two open wide.

Not only Chief Jorn, but even Ergin never expected such a splendid ceremony to be waiting.

On top of that, the guests who arrived before them were unusual.

“Why is he here…..?”

“What's wrong, Chief?”

Chief Jorn said, carefully pointing to the gray-haired old man.

“Isn't that the head of Germour Wizardry?”

“The head?”

“Yes! I met him once when he was trading Demon stones with our company a long time ago. I know he is someone who doesn't show his face at aristocratic parties…”

The surprise didn't end there.

“Is that the Godmother of the Barbatos family?”

Chief Jorn recognized Diana.

Ergin quickly recognized her and her family next to her.

“She bought her daughter and grandchildren for the ceremony.”

“No way… Why did the Barbatos…”

“I heard they contacted Lord Cardis a while ago, but never thought they would become this close in that short time.”

At Ergin's explanation, Chief Jorn's expression turned grotesque.

No matter how close they were to each other, it was impossible for the head of Germour or the Godmother of the Barbatos to attend the swearing-in ceremony of a newbie Lord.

“……Ka, Ka ka ka……….?!”

“What's wrong, what happened this time?”

“Wait, no way… That person… …that's the legend of the Verdi family… …Isn't that the great Sir. Kael?”

“Are you saying that's the great Hero, Sir. Kael who ended the dimensional war?”

“I'm not even sure. I've never met him in person. I've bought a portrait of Sir. Kael in the past. It's the same as the person over there. Yes.”

Where Chief Jorn barely pointed with a trembling hand, a boy was sitting and talking to a man with shaggy gray hair

Ergin had cursed Jorn in his mind a while ago, but he could not ignore Chief Jorn's eyes which had developed through many years of merchant experiences.

'What the hell is this?'

Chief Jorn asked Ergin with a very confused expression.

“Didn't you arrive at another aristocratic event by mistake?”

“No way we've just walked past Elden….”

Ergin blurted out the end without realizing it.

In the unbelievable scene unfolding in front of him, somehow the words of Chief Jorn began to sound convincing.

“Huh? Ergin! You came?”

A familiar voice was heard from afar.

A very ordinary-looking man without any horns came to where Ergin was.

Ergin called him in a deflating voice.

“Lo..Lo….Lord Cardis”

“Thank you for coming all the way… hmm? What's wrong with your expression? Are you tired from riding the wagon too long?”

“Oh, no! I'm fine.”

Ergin answered in astonishment.

Lim Sihyeon relieved his worried expression and smiled again.

Then he looked at Ergin's side.

Ergin belatedly noticed his mistake and introduced Chief Jorn next to him.

“Oh! I'm sorry. This is Jorn, the head of the branch of the Golden Clock Chamber.”

“Head of the branch. Nice to meet you. My name is Lim Sihyeon, who is going to be the Lord of this place.”

“Uh…Uh! I'm Jorn. I look forward to your kind cooperation.”

Although Chief Jorn made a strange sound in the middle, Lim Sihyeon did not seem to care much.

“Oh, wait a minute, you two. Boss!! That's for the guests. Don't drink all the beer with Elder Kael?!”

Lim Sihyeon ran away shouting at the gray-haired man and Kael.

The two merchants watched him with blank expressions.

“Ergin.”

“Yes, Chief.”

“What the hell is this place?”

An awkward silence continued for a while between Ergin and Chief Jorn.
