How to get Healed at Demon Farm Chapter 282

Published at 27th of February 2023 12:58:03 PM

– It was a wonderful adventure, my friends. See you next time. Byebiiii!

Cute animal characters waved on the laptop screen, and Speranza, who was lying on the bed, waved her hands as she watched.

“Papaaaa!”

As soon as the video was over, Speranza looked up at me.

“Speranza dear, do you want to watch more?”

-NOD.

Speranza nodded quickly to my question.

Without realizing it, I smiled at the passionate look.

“Haha, is it that fun?”

“Un, it’s so much fun.”

“Okay. Wait, I’ll play the next episode.”

I found and played the next episode among the numerous related videos displayed on the screen.

Along with the exciting theme song, the cute animal characters we saw earlier appeared.

Speranza’s eyes sparkled again.

Originally, I thought it was stupid when I heard YouTube was a must for parents raising children today, but after actually experiencing it, I was able to understand why.

There were endless contents in this vast world that could easily attract children.

This allowed Speranza, who had to remain in bed to recover her energy, to spend time without getting bored.

Thanks to Lilia, the farm now has Internet access.

Lilia explained how this was achieved.

I was unable to understand everything because a lot of the stuff was complicated.

To explain briefly what I understand. The communication network was being pulled from the Vision world, where the Earth and Demon world overlap, using a dimensional door device.

Of course, this method was not permanent.

To maintain the communication network, the dimensional door device needed quite a bit of mana, and we had to continue injecting the Magic stone, which was the driving force.

When Lilia calculated the Magic stone to maintain the communication network throughout the month, it consumed quite a lot, but not to the point of being burdensome.

In the past, I was fine even without a communication network or the Internet, but once I used it for myself, I found it to be comfortable and helpful. For example…….

-♩♬∼♪♬

“Oh? It’s a call from grandma.”

“Grandma?”

Speranza’s ears were raised.

I connected the video call to my laptop.

When she saw her grandmother’s face on the screen, Speranza moved her body so much that the bed shook.

“Grandma! Grandma!”

– Oh, my cute Speranza! Can you see grandma?

“I can see Grandma.”

– Are you feeling better now, sweetie? Grandma was really worried about Speranza.…

“I’m fine. I’m not sick at all, but Papa won’t let me get out of bed.”

Speranza made her cheeks plump and said as if she was snitching on me.

Seeing that my mother burst into laughter as if she was enjoying it.

– Haha, did he? Having to stay in bed all day must have been boring, right? But please understand, sweetie. He’s doing it because he cares about Speranza.

“Un. I’ll listen to Papa even if it’s a little boring.”

– How can Speranza be so pretty and obedient?

“Hehe.”

Despite watching Speranza through the video, my mother’s eyes seemed to be pleased as she looked at Speranza.

-SIHY.

“Yes, Mom.”

– It’s really nice to be able to talk like this. Can we keep talking like this in the future?

“I think so.”

– Then call me often. Just seeing Speranza’s face and hearing her voice makes me so happy.

I asked back with a sly look.

“Then, is your son’s face and voice not making you happy?”

– It would be nice to watch it together. huhuhu!

“Well…”

I felt a little awkward at my mother’s honest answer.

Before I knew it, my mother treated me like Speranza’s bonus.

“I will call grandma every day from now on.”

– Promise?

“Un, promise!”

Speranza clenched her fists in a cute way and revealed her will.

– Thank you, Speranza. Then I’ll have to wait for Speranza’s call every day from tomorrow.

My mother burst into laughter once again because she felt good about Speranza’s promise.

– By the way, Sihy. Are you still very busy with the farm work?

“It’s winter soon, so there’s a lot to prepare. I have a lot of work to do, so I have a lot to pay attention to.”

– Hm… I see.

My mother looked a little lonely when I answered that I was busy.

“Mom, what’s wrong?”

– No, there’s nothing wrong. You look so busy these days, I’m worried that you’re overdoing it. It’s been a long time since you came here with the kids…….

My mother expressed her desire to see the children.

She seemed to be feeling a little lonely as I spent a lot of time on the farm recently.

“Okay. When I’m done preparing for winter and I have time, I’ll make time to schedule a vacation.”

The video call with my mother ended after talking about the vacation plans.

“I can’t wait to see grandma.”

Speranza already wagged her tail in anticipation of going to her grandmother’s house.

I patted Speranza’s head while planning the vacation schedule in my head.

Ting!

‘Huh? Text message!?’

I took out my cell phone and checked the text.

– Brother Sihyeon, Sister Lia is coming with snacks.

It was the text from Lilia, who owned a smartphone other than me on the farm.

Outside the door, I felt a sign of activity as soon as I checked the text.

“Lia? You can come in.”

In a little while, Lia came into the room with a tray of snacks. She put down the tray on the table near the bed and asked me with her eyes wide open.

“How did you know it was me?”

“Lilia told me in advance over the phone that you’re coming here with the snacks.”

“…… I see.”

I gave the snack that Lia brought to Speranza.

Speranza received a snack with a happy smile as if she enjoyed my care for her.

Suddenly, I felt something strange next to me and turned my head as Speranza’s cheeks bulged on both sides with snacks.

“…….”

Lia looked at me with hesitation as if she wanted to say something.

Seeing the appearance that was different from usual, I opened my mouth first.

“Lia, do you have anything to say to me?”

“What?! Ah… It’s….”

After hesitating to answer for a moment, she raised her finger and pointed to the table.

The phone I took out after receiving a text message was on the table.

“You spoke with Lilia using that, right?”

“Yes. Lilia succeeded in pulling the mobile network, and now I can use my phone even on the farm.”

“If I have a phone, can I also speak with Sihyeon at any time?”

“Yes, you can call and text, send pictures and videos.”

After long glances at the smartphone, she began to speak with great difficulty with a red face.

“Can… I get one, too?”

“……what?”

“That phone? the object called Smartphone? I want it, too.”

“Um….”

‘Lia wants to have a smartphone.’

I was lost in thought for a moment at Lia’s unexpected request.

At first, I was a little flustered, but when I slowly organized my thoughts, it was not that strange.

Since smartphones were such comfortable and useful devices, many people of all ages owned one even in Korea.

Until recently, the convenience was very limited due to the absence of a network, but now that the restriction has disappeared, I’m freely enjoying many functions.

There was no way that Demons wouldn’t enjoy the convenience of such a smartphone.

“Did I ask too much? I’m sorry. I was greedy to ask for such a precious thing. ….”

When my answer was delayed, Lia’s face darkened.

I waved my hand hastily and denied what she said.

“Oh, no! It’s not because what you’re asking is too much. And it’s not that precious, even ordinary people carry it around in the world where I live. You saw it a lot when you came to Korea with me last time, right?”

“I think I did…….”

“Why would I lie? I can buy you as much as you want.”

“Really?”

Lia’s face brightened up.

The change in expression was so dramatic that I smiled too.

“If you tell me the cost, I’ll prepare it accordingly.”

“You don’t have to do that. I can just buy one for you as a gift.”

“What? No! Then I’ll feel sorry for burdening…….”

“It’s all right. I can do this for you, Lia.”

The redness on her face intensified.

“……isn’t it too expensive?”

“It’s not too expensive, so you don’t have to feel too pressured.”

Considering the latest smartphones, it was not a cheap price.

Still, considering what Lia has done for me till now, it was not such a burdensome price.

Didn’t I save money for these kinds of things?

I reassured Lia, who was restless and promised to get her a smartphone soon.

“You want to buy Lia a smartphone?”

“Yes, she asked me yesterday. So I promised I would buy her one. Is it possible?”

Ryan was lost in thought for a moment, stroking his chin.

“As you know, in Korea, you have to sign a contract with a telecommunication company to use a smartphone. Of course, Demons can buy one, but it’s bound to have a strict procedure. There are many documents that need to be formalized, and you have to ask for cooperation from various places.”

The complex procedure hardened my face.

“Um… It’s not as easy as I thought, is it?”

“There’s a way to buy another smartphone under Sihyeon’s name. You don’t like that, do you?”

“No, it’s not like that. I thought it would be more convenient if Lia signed the contract under her name, if possible.”

Ryan scratched his head for a moment and smiled.

“It can’t be helped. I’ll look into it.”

“Is it possible?”

“Although the procedures are complicated, it’s not impossible. I’m a Demon, but I’m using a smartphone in my name, right?”

Ryan took his smartphone out of his pocket and showed it.

“SIHYEON, you get a smartphone for Lia as a present. I’ll take care of the rest.”

“Thank you very much, Ryan.”

I bowed to Ryan.

“Oh! But SIHYEON?”

“……?”

“It’s good to buy Lia a smartphone, but…… Wouldn’t others be a bit disappointed if they didn’t get one?”

“Ah…”

The faces of the other farm members flashed in my head.
