How to get Healed at Demon Farm Chapter 20

Published at 2nd of November 2022 05:12:19 AM

After Hermosa gave birth, there wasn’t much work on the barn.

I only took care of Hermosa and the three siblings, while the Yakums took care of themselves by grazing grass around the barn.

Other than that, all I did was just cleaning the stables, preparing meals, and occasionally finding the fruits and grass that Yakum liked.

Is this all you have to.? 

You may think that, but if you do it yourself, it is not as easy task as you might think.

My day at the farm begins with the cleaning of stables, which will be followed by preparing breakfast.

After that I spend some time with three siblings and Hermosa, which will be followed by preparing lunch.

After doing some other farm work here and there, it will be the time to prepare dinner .

After I finish preparing the dinner, I get off work.

The schedule is tighter than expected.

But among them some important tasks got added after the Demon king’s messenger visited.

-gulp. gulp.

“Slowly slowly…..Drink well.”

Kawaii is sitting in my arms and quietly drinking milk from the baby bottle held in my hand.

Just looking at it made my heart happy.

I held the bottle comfortably with one hand and gently stroked the fur on Kawaii’s back.  

Just looking at her eating makes me feel full .

What is this feeling.? 

I became intoxicated with a feeling of warming and healing…

Po wo woo

I felt a heavy feeling on my back along with a powerful cry at the same time. 

The culprit that disturbed my peaceful relaxing moment was Tanduk, who kept hanging from my left shoulder.

“Tanduk, Knock it off. You already drank. You mustn’t interfere with your sister’s meal.”

– Pu woo woo.

This greedy eldest brother finished a bottle a little while ago, is now trying stealing his younger sister’s bottle.

“I know you are full. Don’t be mean to your younger sister and brother. Be a good Big brother and go away.”

“If you don’t stop now, I will get angry.”

-po wo woo

Even after hearing my threat, Tanduk didn’t get off my shoulder. 

In the midst of all of this Kawaii continued her peaceful meal time.

But suddenly…..

Pow woo wo

I felt someone jumping onto my right shoulder.

“Ouch! Oh, even you Akum.?!”

– Pow wooo

Unlike the Tanduk, who was doing this to disturb me, this idiot seemed to have thought we were having fun and rushed in.

I started swaying a the two baby Yakums attacked me at the same time.

My body started to tremble.

“These guys. Stop it.!”

While I was taking hits from Tanduk and Akum, Hermosa who was watching came out.

– Boo woo woo.

When Hermosa removed Tanduk, Akum got off my shoulder.

I could finally breathe and feed Kawaii with the rest of the milk in peace.

Finally, I was able to finish the mealtime of the three Yakum siblings, which was like a war.

I stood up looking exhausted.

Baby Yakum looked up at me with innocent eyes like angels.

As if telling me, they did nothing wrong. 

I laughed out loud involuntarily. 

Then Hermosa came and rubbed her face gently on my side.

Perhaps she was to thanking me for the hard work.

– Boo woo woo.

“Thank you Hermosa. You are the only being who understands my heart.”

I hugged Hermosa and smiled warmly.

Then the three brothers and sisters came running and started to cling on my legs as if they felt something. 

Po wo woo

Pow wow woo.

Pow woo wo

“okay. okay. I’m not mad at you guys. And in the future, during mealtime, be a little quiet. Okay.”

He gently stroked the three siblings who were clinging to me.

Only then they let go of me and I was able to walk away.

No matter how hard it was, when I saw their cute little faces, I couldn’t help myself but to fall in love with them.

I said goodbye to Hermosa and the three siblings and exited the barn.

Milking early in the morning and in the evening, and directly feeding the siblings three times a day, became a new routine on the farm.

At first, I was worried that Hermosa would be reluctant, but surprisingly, Hermosa accepted it very naturally.

Rather, by entrusting me with breastfeeding, Hermosa seemed to be less stressed.

Instead I have to face the wrath of the three siblings every day.

The leftover milk after feeding the babies are placed in a bottle specially designed by Andras and stored in a dedicated refrigerator.

This freshly stored milk is delivered to the Demon Lord’s Castle.

Leaving the barn, this time headed towards the fence where the Yakums were gathered.

I shouted at a Yakum who was having a leisurely time.

“Harly ! Harly, come here.”

– Boo woo woo!

At my call, a Yakum came to me.

The name Harly was given because of his curly hair; Ha from hair and rly from curly. 

Of course, it was a subtle difference that only I could recognize.

“Harly. How are you today?”

– Boo woo woo.

I used my communication skills with a comfortable greeting.

[Subject has ‘intimate feelings’ to you.]

[Subject wants purple forget-me-not.]

“Oh… our Harly wants to eat purple forget-me-not?”

– Boo woo woo.

“I’m sorry Harly. I don’t have anything left now. I’ll be sure to bring it for you later.”

I took a brush out of my coat pocket and started brushing Harly’s curly hair.

Due to my combing skills, which were greatly increased after the periodic combing of Hermosa and the siblings, made Harley make a pleasant cry.

Sooner or later, I will have to stop by Beast tribe Village to find Yakum’s favorite fruits and grass.

I’ll have to get a bigger brush too.

ugh

By the way, I also need to prepare for moving to a new house….

I became dizzy thinking about my hectic schedule.

After returning Harly, who was satisfied with the brushing, I took out a notepad from my pocket.

I meticulously jotted down the facts I learned through communicating with Harly earlier.

After checking the group of Yakum and confirming that there was nothing special, I packed up my belongings and returned to the farm building.

“Sihyeon. Are you done with work?”

“Yes. I just finished it.”

“Okay, then I will clean the dishes.”

“Thank you Lia.”

I left the empty baby bottle and luggage with Lia and went up to the room on the first floor.

I took off my dirty work clothes and placed them along with the clothes for washing.

Overcoming the slight rush of tiredness, I sat down at the desk and opened the farm journal and a notepad next to it.

I meticulously recorded the amount of milk I milked today and the amount the three siblings drank.

I also meticulously checked for Harly’s quirks and observations of yakum herds.

My new additional job was to keep a farm journal.

Most farms keep a log to keep track of growth and change.

Due to the chaotic atmosphere in the beginning, Demon Farm started it a little late.

I finished writing the diary, which was still a bit awkward, and stretched out briefly.

I checked the time to see if I had time to rest, but it was already time to prepare lunch.

Busy, Busy

I got up vigorously and headed to the kitchen.

Today’s lunch menu was cream pasta.

I added mushrooms and meat from the Demon realm to the basic ingredients I brought.

As the beautifully made pasta was placed on the table, the dining room was filled with the scent of creamy sauce.

“Thank you for the food. Sihyeon.”

“I will eat it well.”

“Yes. Bon appetit.”

Andras and Lia, who were not at all awkward eating together, thanked me for the food.

Kaneff would normally have scolded Andras, but today he quietly lifted the spoon with a somewhat dark expression on his face.

After watching the farm members eat for a while, I belatedly picked up the pasta noodles.

I could feel the cream’s unique savory and soft feeling in my mouth, then the chewy texture of the noodles and other ingredients could be felt as if they were harmonized together.

In particular, the unique flavor and firm texture of mushrooms obtained from the Demon realm went really well with the pasta.

On the other hand, the meat did not mix well with the sauce and was very disappointing because of the chewy texture.

I’ll have to be a little more careful with the meat I got from the Demon Realm next time.

I continued eating, thinking about the things I needed to fix inside.

When the meal had progressed to a certain extent, I spoke to Andras.

“By the way, Andras, are you here to take the Milk?”

“Yes. Yes. How many bottles are there now?”

“Hmm. I put in 2 bottles this morning, so in total maybe 8 bottles.”

“I think that would be enough. And if possible, could you write a brief report on the current state of the farm? A request came in from the Demon Lord.”

“It’s possible. But……” 

I glanced towards Kaneff.

As soon as he noticed my gaze, he screamed as if he got a seizure. 

“Don’t talk about work while eating!”

The rest of the people showed different emotions to his reaction. 

Andras had a puzzled look, Lia was pathetic, and finally, I had a half puzzled and half pathetic expression on my face.

“Haha… Boss. Give up now. How long are you going to be like this like a child?”

“Ugh. I can’t accept this.” 

The reason Kaneff is acting like this is because of the new instructions from the Demon Lord.

Instead of ensuring the autonomy of the farm.

We were asked to produce a certain number of Yakum’s milk and to manage the Yakum on the farm a little more thoroughly. 

Storing milk using special containers and keeping a farm log, were all a part of it. 

However, these are all not the reasons why Kaneff is grumpy. 

I appoint Kaneff as the head of the Yakum farm.

It is because of this

I asked him with a look of incomprehension.

“Even now, Boss is like the leader of the Farm. Then  why do you hate it?” 

“Being in charge for a while as a request is different from being in charge officially. It’s very annoying!”

“Anyway, me and Lia will do all the farm work. What bothers you so much?”

“It’s annoying and taking responsibility is a different matter, isn’t it? Can’t we just leave it to the guy who has now obtained Ester status?” 

Kaneff pointed at me and asked.

Andras replied with a puzzled expression.

“It’s great that Sihyeon is recognized as Esther, but as you know, isn’t it close to an honorary position? Also, from the perspective of the Demon Lord, Mr.Kaneff is there, so it must have been difficult to entrust the person-in-charge to someone else.”

Esters, a status dedicated to talented people with outstanding talents, skills, and knowledge under the authority of the Demon Lord. 

A long time ago, it is said that it was a title given to four heavenly Demons  who followed the Demon Monarch.

But now it’s not much of a huge privilege. 

There is a subsidy like a salary, and every Demon should respect the person who wears the jewellery that symbolizes Ester.

Literally an honorary position. 

Of course, it is a great thing for a human from another world to receive it.

As I was thinking about the things that happened a few days back, the conversation continued.

“Ugh. I’m bored to death.”

To liven the atmosphere, I said.

“ There are some good points too, right? Now, if we need anything, we don’t have to ask Ryan, and everyone gets a separate salary. It is great. right?” 

Then Andras and Lia smiled vaguely. 

“I… Sihyeon. I’m sorry, but I originally had a separate agency, so I’m already getting paid from Demon Lord.”

“I also got support from the Demon Lord from the beginning… I’m sorry.”

“……Pardon.?”

Wait… Lia and Andras didn’t belong to the farm.?

They were sent here to work in deputation from their respective working places.

It was unavoidable to have the original affiliation, but somehow I couldn’t help but feel betrayed. 

I put that feeling in my eyes and sent it to the two of them.

Andras and Lia, frowned, and hurriedly avoided my gaze.

it’s only two.

It’s just the two of us, Me and the irresponsible Kaneff, who had direct affiliation with the farm. 

As I was overcoming the harsh reality, Kaneff whispered to me with a devilish expression.

“Sihyeon, don’t you think, it might be best for you to be in-charge here rather than me.? Contact the Demon King as soon as possible. If he don’t change the person in-charge, there is a chance that I might destroy the farm. Go, hurry up!” 

In the situation where I could not get out of the shock, Lia gave a sad look, and Andras patted my shoulder without saying a word. 

Do I want to slap in the face of ugly Kaneff and smash it? 

I thought about it for a while. 

I calmed my heart by thinking of the angelic baby Yakums.

“Well, I have some really good news.” 

As I was calming myself, Andras said in a forcibly bright voice, as if trying to change the atmosphere.

“What?”

“We decided not to take all of Yakum’s milk to Demon Castle. Some can be used by the members of the farm..”

According to his description.

I was given the right to take two bottles, and Kaneff and Lia each to take one bottle. 

“Really. Then, Let’s drink it right now? I’ve never even drank it.”

Kaneff showed interest with a bright face for the first time today. 

Lia also glanced at me with a look of anticipation.

I, who milked the milk myself, had never drank it either, so expectations and curiosity arose.

“Let’s do it.”

“Then I’ll bring it!”

Lia went to the refrigerator to get Yakum’s milk as if waiting.

“How about you Andras? May I give you a bottle?”

“It is enough just to be served a meal today. Next time if I have a chance, I will ask.”

I recommended it to Andras, but he politely declined.

“I brought it .”

Lia put down the glass bottle containing Yakum’s milk.

Inside the cold glass bottle was a milky liquid.

“What are you waiting for.?”

Kaneff opened the lid and drank the contents without hesitation.

Lia also started drinking right away.

After watching the two of them for a moment. 

I opened the cap of the glass bottle and brought it to my mouth.

I slowly lifted my head and filled my mouth with Yakum’s milk.

The sweet scent was felt first through the nose, which was followed by the rich taste that filled the mouth.

The harmony of savory and sweet taste was superior to any other drinks I have drank before.

A pleasant sensation that passes through the throat and gently wraps around the throat.

And when swallowed completely, the soft feeling left in the mouth made me feel regretful.

“Wow?! It’s really delicious.”

“It’s the first time I’ve tasted this kind of taste.” 

Kaneff and Lia, who drank first, burst out in exclamation.

The moment I try to express my surprise as well.

An even more surprising thing happened.

[ The effect of Yakum’s Trust is applied.]

[The ‘Stamina’ stat increases.]

[‘Strength’ stat increases.]

[‘Magic’ stat increases.]

[‘Resistance’ stat increases.]
