How to get Healed at Demon Farm

Chapter 28

As I entered the warehouse, I took off my wet raincoat. 

I took off my uncomfortable boots and headed to the corner of the warehouse in comfortable clothes. 

The baby fox looked up at me for a moment.

It didn't look like the usual wary look, but rather a welcome look. 

For a while, the baby fox turned its head the other way and crouched down as if it had no interest in me from the beginning. 

Haha. Look at this cute thing. 

For me, who had already heard a sad cry earlier, the fox's behavior literally seemed like a sly fox act.

But since I have already been possessed by the adorable fox.

The baby fox's action seemed only cute.

I sat down a little far from the corner where the baby fox was. 

I leaned against the wall and took the most comfortable position. 

There was silence in the warehouse for a while. 

The baby fox pretended not to be interested at all, but kept glancing at me. 

Lightning once again flashed outside the window. 

-DuuuuuuuTHUDddddddddddddduuuuuuuddudududu

I turned my head slightly and looked at the baby fox. 

The baby fox shivered in the curled up state, as if the thunder was scary.

He looked so miserable that I wanted to approach and hug the baby fox tightly.

While thinking about how to help, I took my cell phone out of my pocket.

Choose a music file and pressed the play button.

~  ~ ~  ~

The singer's soft voice harmonized with a calm song. 

A hit song by a ballad singer a long time ago. 

I listened to it hundreds of times when I was sleeping or studying when I was young.

Now it has become a song of memories since I don't listen to it often, but sometimes I would take it out and listen to it when I missed the comfortable olden days.

The sweet ballad melody spread through the cell phone.

The baby fox, who was hiding its face, also looked at my place with his ears pricked up. 

As if a barrier was made with the magic of singing, the singer's powerful tone gently pushed the sound of thunder and rain and wind.

The baby fox slowly leaned towards the cell phone. 

At the same time, the drooping ears were erected again.

The trembling body regained comfort and went up and down stably to the sound of the melody. 

Ballad singer's songs continued to play on the cell phone. 

By the end of the second album's song, which I really liked, the baby fox fell asleep with a humming sound. 

I watched the baby fox sleep for a while. 

Then I felt that my eyelids were getting heavier. 

Even at dawn, the rain and wind continued strongly. 

Buuuuuuu?! 

The baby fox opened its eyes, pricking the ears at the sound of the strong wind knocking on the wall of the warehouse. 

The warehouse, where the sweet song flowed, was filled with heavy silence again.

The baby fox, who woke up from its seat, approached the cell phone where the song played. 

Took. Took. 

The baby fox touched the cell phone a few times with its front feet, but the song did not play again. 

The baby fox quickly lost interest in the unresponsive cell phone.

Naturally, the baby fox's gaze leaned against the wall and headed to the sleeping man. 

It wandered around the man and approached carefully. 

Bububuuuuuu

The baby fox looked at the sleeping man's face. 

Thud Duuddududud

Once again, the sound of the wind came dimly. 

Strangely, the baby fox was not scared or shaking. 

The baby fox looked around curiously at the surprising changes.

Soon after, the baby fox was able to find the reason for the surprising change. 

The baby fox was relying on the man without even realizing it.

The baby fox got closer. 

At the end of the drooping arm, the baby fox could see the right hand of the man.

The baby fox recalled what it had done to that hand in the past and expressed sad feelings in its eyes.

Fear rose in the baby foxs eyes, when it thought that the man would hate it for doing that. 

The baby fox placed its head near the mans hand.

Buuuuuuuu

The baby fox licked the wound in the mans right hand. 

The man twisted his body as if he felt itchy.

The brave baby fox climbed on the man's lap and leaned toward the mans upper body and crouched down.

Feeling warmer and more comfortable than ever, the baby fox quickly fell asleep with a satisfied look. 

Bubuubu 

It was not until late early morning that the rain and wind stopped. 

The sounds of hidden grass bugs and starlights flowed through the window. 

The twilight glow brighter than the starlight that filled the warehouse. 

-Ko Koooo. 

Chirp Chirp! 

There was a clear sound of birds welcoming the morning. 

Since I slept in an uncomfortable place, I opened my eyes feeling uncomfortable rather than refreshed.

I could see the familiar warehouse with the blurry view. 

Oh, right. I fell asleep in the warehouse yesterday. 

I quickly remembered the cause of the situation and nodded slightly.

I have to stretch to warm up my stiff body.

I felt the numbness in my thighs and a sense of weight. 

At the end of my gaze, there was an incredible situation. 

"Bubuuuuu." 

"Uh Huh ?" 

A girl, at the age of four or five, in a white dress was sleeping soundly on my lap. 

My head became a bit dizzy for a bit. 

I quickly came to my senses and began to calmly examine the situation.

The baby fox that was sleeping in the corner disappeared. 

A girl with silver hair, pointed fox ears, and a red tail appeared. 

"No way". 

Even if it's not a common-sense reasoning, instincts and intuition strongly insisted on one fact. 

The fact that the girl in front of me is the baby fox. 

While confused by the chaotic situation, the girl opened her eyes. 

"Buuuuu.." 

"" 

The girl looked up at me with half-closed eyes. 

The red eyes made the girl's identity more certain. 

What should I do? 

After agonizing over and over again, I said a word. 

"Hi" 

The girl didn't respond. 

After a moment of silence. 

Bubuuuu 

The girl replied to my greeting with a pure smile that could not be compared to anything. 

As soon as I saw that smile, my heart softened, and at the same time, the tiredness seemed to disappear.

And the girl closed her eyes again and leaned towards me.

I hugged the girl very carefully with both arms. 

Breakfast of the farm family. 

Andras came to the breakfast after a long time. 

The breakfast menu is stir-fried tomato eggs, toasted bread in butter, and a cup of fruit juice on the potato salad I made yesterday.

A sweet and savory smell spread on the table.

If it were usual, Kaneff would have criticized Andras for coming again and I would have comforted the offended Andras, while Lia obsessed with the food without caring about the surrounding. 

Today, everyone was not in their usual self.

Their eyes were on the silver-haired girl sitting next to me. 

-Munch munch.

I happily watched her eat without being picky.

"You're eating well. Do you like this? Do you want more? 

Bubu.

When asked pointing to the potato salad, the girl nodded her head quickly. 

I was excited and moved my spoon toward the potato salad.

Lia was so into the girl's cuteness that she didn't even care about the food today.

Kaneff said with a slightly irritated look. 

"Haaah I should have noticed it right away after seeing the silver fur." 

"What are you talking about?" 

"Seeing that she transformed, the little one is probably from the Erul tribe." 

" Erul tribe ?" 

Andras added an additional explanation when I asked back. 

"It's a term for a family of foxes with silver fur. They are famous for their outstanding soul magic." 

"Then is this child a demon ?" 

"No, Strictly speaking, Eruls come close to beast, but that doesn't mean they are like Yakums. It's a kind that's hard to explain. Simply put, they are in between beasts and beast-people

I tilted my head at the explanation that's a little hard to understand. 

As I was listening to the explanation, the girl pulled my arm slightly as if she was whining. 

Buuuuu 

"Yes, Ah, I forgot. Here

I feed the food in her mouth quickly since it was difficult for her to eat with a spoon right now. 

The girl looked satisfied as she moved her plump cheeks. 

"So what are you going to do?" 

"What? I'm going to go wash up after I finish eating." 

"No! Not that! What are you going to do with that kid?" 

When I realized what Kaneff was trying to ask, I couldn't answer right away. 

Because I haven't thought deeply about what to do with this girl yet.

Lia, who was reading the room, gave an opinion. 

"Don't you think we should let her stay here"? 

"Now that we know shes from Erul, It'll be possible to send her back to their territory.

"That won't be easy either. The Erul people are a closed race, so its not easy to meet them. Maybe we could ask help from Ryan. His family is quite influential on that side.

While their debate continued, the girl's face grew darker and darker. 

It seemed she read the atmosphere.

I carefully stroked the depressed girl's head. 

Then the girl looked up with transparent eyes. 

I looked into her eyes with a bright smile and whispered. 

"It's okay. Don't worry too much." 

Was the intention of my heart got delivered, the girl's face became more comfortable. 

And she grabbed my clothes tightly with her small hand.

I was happy that the little girl relied on me, but again the responsibility that came with it made my heart heavy.

Recognizing my change, Kaneff asked the question again. 

"I think you made up your mind roughly." 

"Yes." 

"Before making a decision, just know one thing clearly. The kid wouldn't have come here simply because she got lost. There must be a complicated story that we don't know." 

"I expected that much." 

"In the future, that kid may have a hard time. It wont change your resolution right?

As Kaneff said, we don't know what will happen later. 

Maybe it might become hard that I might regret my current choice.

But, 

The moment when I understood the sadness and suffering of the baby fox through my skill and when she came to me relying on me, our destiny got intertwined at that moment.

Someday, the baby fox may grow up and may leave me and this place on her own. 

Until the day comes I want to protect her. 

I want to save her for the terrible past and give her a happy present, so that she can walk on her own into the bright future. 

I nodded to Kaneff with a determined look. 

Smirk. 

"I knew it. If you bring something bothersome into the Demon Farm, I'll kick out both of you.

After stirring his hands with a look of annoyance, Kaneff began to eat the little cold breakfast.

I already knew that this action was his unique way of giving permission. 

I smiled brightly and bowed my head. 

"Thank you, Boss!

I looked at the girl with my face filled with joy.

The girl stared at me blankly for a moment, and immediately smiled brightly. 

Andras and Lia also watched the two of us happily. 

"Sihyeon, Sihyeon! that kid going to with us right? Does the kid have a name? Or should we name her? 

"Hmm, I'm not bragging, but I'm an expert in this field, you know? How about naming her after a mythical fairy" 

Why a mythical fairyCant we just call her kid?" 

Ahhhhhh.Mr.Kaneff is really inconsiderate. How can you name a cute little girl just kid. You should think about it properly."

While the two were arguing about the girl's name. 

I opened my mouth.

How about this ?"
