How to get Healed at Demon Farm Chapter 46

Published at 11th of November 2022 08:13:36 PM

Tanduk rushed toward the red rubber ball.

-Pow wo wooo

The rubber ball that flew to the bump of Tanduk bounced around.

When he saw the ball far away, Tanduk and Akum ran.

“Haah…Haah! Guys, don’t go too far.”

Baby yakums, who ran for more than an hour already, followed the ball, while I ran out of stamina first.

When I saw them liking new toys, I was excited and ran around, but these little ones showed no signs of exhaustion.

Eventually, I gave up chasing and sank into the grass.

Then the guys rushing towards the ball recognized that I’m down and approached me.

Pow woooo

Po wo woooo

Baby Yakums hung on me as if asking me to get up quickly.

Now that the baby Yakums are not small, my upper body faltered with their push.

“Oh, my. You guys. Let me catch my breath. I’m dying here.”

Did they understood or did they find it boring?

The two baby Yakums left me alone and started playing with the ball again.

Their tireless appearance felt really terrifying.

I put my upper body behind the tree and took a comfortable position.

Lia, Speranza, and Kawaii were seen together in the shade of a tree in the distance.

Unlike this side, they were decorating each other with flowers and playing gently.

Hermosa, Bighorn, and other Yakums were still on high alert, but Baby yakum’s seems to be less wary since they were young.

And on a happy note, now, Lia can get along with Baby yakums.

Thanks to this, it has become a little easier for me to take care of the baby Yakums.

‘Ah. Soon, Chorongi will give birth. Will I be able to handle all the babies’

While I was thinking about this and that lying above the green grass and below the tree shade, Speranza rushed towards me from afar.

“Papa”

“Speranza, what’s wrong?”

“There….. There.”

Speranza grabbed my arm and pointed towards the farm building.

On that side, Andras and Ryan stood outside the fence and waved their hands.

“Andras and Ryan are here. Speranza, can you go and tell them to wait a little bit ?”

“Un”

“Thank you, my sweet little girl.”

When I stroked her head, Speranza smiled and ran back towards the fence.

I looked happily at the back of Speranza, whose fox tail fluttered enthusiastically.

After taking a breath for a while, I stood up.

“Okay. Guys, guys, the play time is over now. Give me the rubber ball”

Po wo wooo?

– Poo-woo! Poo-woo!

It was not until I ran around like a crazy man for another 20 minutes before I could take the rubber ball from baby Yakums.

I washed off the sweat all over my body and came down to the first floor.

In Kaneff’s room, all the farm members were waiting for me.

“I’m sorry. I sweated so much because I ran hard while playing with the kids.”

“It’s okay. We’re the ones who suddenly came.”

“So what’s wrong ? It’s not common for the two of you to come together.”

I sat on chair with Speranza on my lap and asked why the two came.

Then the two began to look at each other as if they were hesitant to say.

Kaneff, who couldn’t stand the frustration, opened his mouth first.

“What? Why are you so self-conscious?”

“Should I say this is good news or bad news…”

“Don’t make me curious, just tell me.”

“What the hell is this news?”

Ryan explained in a calm voice at the continued urge.

“Okay. I’ll tell you the good news first. Sihyeon, do you remember catching a giant tree monster in a Rift.?”

“Yes, of course I remember it. It happened only last week.”

“Sihyeon’s contribution to hunting the giant tree monster was recognized, so you will be provided with quite a sum of soul stones and a mana stones. It’s a lot more than we thought.”

“Oh. Is that so ? That’s definitely good news.”

Not only me, but also Kaneff and Lia’s faces brightened up.

“So we don’t have to worry about Sihyeon not bringing snacks because of those damn Angels..right.?”

“Yes, Mr Kaneff. They took a lot of soul stones from Sihyeon, so it won’t be a problem for the time being,”

It wasn’t planned to catch the field boss monster, but anyway, the results seemed to have ended well.

“Hmm, did you know? Sihyeon said that the artifact I made were very helpful in the dangerous situation. Isn’t it amazing?”

Andras showed off with a very proud look.

However, he chose the wrong opponent.

“ Huh..Look at this guy. He still hasn’t come to his senses. Wasn’t Sihyeon in a dangerous situation because of you and your Infiger grade artifact? Above all, the artifact broke after using a mosquito spell like Fire Doom? What would have happened to Sihyeon if some other monsters attacked him during that time. “

“That’s right Mr Andras. Even Sihyeon took a day off the next day because of the aftereffects of using the artifact.”

The proud expression of Andras, who got unilaterally criticized quickly became sullen and the shoulders drooped.

I patted Andras on his back feeling sorry for him.

Speranza, who was sitting on my lap, also followed me and patted on Andras’ back.

Andras expressed his gratitude with his eyes.

Fortunately, Andras returned with a proud look as if my consolation worked.

“I think the good news is over, and now I’ll let you know the rest of the news.”

“Sihyeon”

“Yes?”

“You recently sold strawberries to a golden watch chamber merchant, right?”

“Yes, I did. Is there anything wrong..?”

“That’s… Should I call this a problem…”

Ryan looked very uncomfortable and continued to explain again.

“Strawberries sold by Sihyeon are gaining huge popularity among the Demons, especially among the aristocrats and the wealthy.”

“Hmm. Isn’t that a good thing?”

“It’s a good thing, but the problem is that the heat is overheating.”

“……?”

When I looked blank as if I didn’t understand what he said, Andras continued to explain this time.

“Do you know how much a strawberry costs? It’s said that it easily surpasses 200 Gold.”

“200 gold?!”

“Huh…”

“….?”

Lia shouted as if she was too surprised at the story of 200 gold, and Kaneff started laughing.

I was the only one who didn’t know how to react since I didn’t know the market price of Demon world.

However, I quickly responded similar to Lia after hearing Ryan’s explanation that followed.

“Sihyeon, 200 gold will be the price of a car in Korean value.”

“Kk! A car?”

“On top of that, the price is not for one box, but for a single strawberry. It’s hard to believe, but many can’t get strawberries even at that price, so the market is in a mess right now.”

I only gave a box of strawberries to Ergin.

“How did it become so expensive?”

“The strawberry itself was luxurious enough to suit the taste of the upper class, and the interest exploded when it was revealed that the new Ester, who was the center of the topic, was selling it.”

“No matter what…. how can…”

The story of Ryan continued even when I was losing my mind.

“Sihyeon, the real news to tell you is from now on.”

“What…there is still some news?”

“Since many Demons are interested in strawberries, questions about new esters are also increasing day by day. There are requests pouring out to the Demon Lord to reveal your identity.”

I asked back with an anxious look.

“Is the Demon Lord angry?”

“It’s not like that. Rather, he tried strawberries himself and said he liked it a lot. So, from now on, it’s the main issue for which we are here…”

“…”

“The Demon Lord wants more strawberries to be released in the Demon world. And he wants Sihyeon to take charge of that.”

“Me ?”

‘No, Wait…. all of a sudden, why me……’

When I made a very confused expression, Ryan urgently added an additional explanation.

“This is not compulsory. It’s not in the contract with Sihyeon in the first place. Instead, if you produce results, the corresponding reward will be provided.”

“We can’t just bring strawberries from Earth, right?”

“Yes… we have only soul stones left, and we can’t use them all up.”

If we can’t bring strawberries, there was only one way left. It’s to grow strawberries directly in Demon world.

Although my house never farmed fruits, I went to help my neighbors in the village who farmed fruits quite often.

What I felt at that time was that farming fruits was never easy .

In order to make products commonly found in marts and department stores, farmers have to sweat all year round.

Even experienced farmers have difficulty if the weather does not follow properly.

When I was thinking not being able to make a decision easily, Speranza, sitting on my lap, pulled my clothes, looked up at me and asked.

“Papa… I want to eat stuawberries.”

“Oh, My Speranza wants to eat strawberries.”

“Un.”

My clouded mind got clear.

When I thought of it as someone’s order, my head gets complicated and negative thoughts fill them.

But when I imagined Speranza happily eating the strawberries I raised myself, I started getting motivated little by little and I could see the possibility.

Okay. Let’s not think too hard.

‘Let’s just give it a try, just like the time when I first met Yakums.’

I made a decision in my mind and smiled.

And then told Ryan who was looking at me with a nervous expression.

“I’m not confident, but I’ll give it a try.”

The first thing I did after deciding to grow strawberries was to seek help from Brother Junho, who sent me strawberries.

Even though I asked him suddenly to teach me how to grow strawberries, Brother Junho sincerely gave me the information and the know-how.

However, even with the help of my brother, the start was not easy.

Just because you want to do farming, you can’t start recklessly.

There are more than one or two things to find out and prepare for.

The characteristics of the crops to be planted, the nature of the land to be nourished, the change in weather, etc.

For me, none of them were easy.

Still, with the dedication of Brother Junho, I was able to get strawberry seedlings that seemed to be highly likely and get specific advice on how to do it.

‘Brother Junho! I’ll pay you back later for the help I received.’

Fortunately, Angels did not mind me bringing strawberry seedlings to the Demon World. Instead, we had to pay quite a large amount of soul stones in exchange.

I carefully chose the land to plant strawberries and prepared the necessary tools and supplies one by one.

And after about two weeks.

It was the beginning of ‘How to do Farming at the Demon Farm.’
