How to get Healed at Demon Farm

Chapter 6



Chapter 6

Our surroundings was filled with tension that seemed to explode at any moment, and it became so quiet that I could hear the sound of dry saliva being swallowed.

At that moment.

"stop!"

Along with a short, loud cry, the appearance of a third person softened the tension around us for a moment.

The owner of the shout was a cat with a stout build and was covered in black fur.

He intervened slowly between Lia and the beasts who were facing each other.

"Uncle Reville!"

Uncle Reville!

The pig and the deer, greeted him by name. 

Lia began to radiate more vicious momentum with the appearance of a new beast.

Good job, uncle. Those demons over there are doing."

Pow! Pow!

"Ahh!"

"Kek!"

The cat mercilessly smacked on the heads of the two guys.

The sound was so bloody that it made me cringe just looking at it.

Did I clearly tell you not to take out dangerous objects? This is not a toy for you guys play with."

But those demons" 

Pow

The piggy guy got smacked one more time.

It doesnt matter if its a demon or a demon king. If you break my word one more time, I'll make you really regret it next time. did you understand?"

"Yes."

"Yes."

Then go home immediately.

The pig and deer beasts drooped and disappeared behind the village. 

All that is left are me, Lia and the cat named Reville. 

After looking at us for a moment, he tried to talk in a calm tone that didn't show any hostility.

Are you going to stand like that.?"

I have no intention of serving the guests, but at the same time I have no intention of fighting either. If there's anything you need, let's talk it out in moderation." 

He showed a completely different attitude from the previous beasts.

The transformed right hand of Lia was restored to its original state.

And she took a step back and stood behind me.

The conversation seemed to be up to me.

The cat also understood the intention and shifted his gaze to me.

So, brother. What did you come here for?"

"Ah. Yes. I'm looking for a plant that looks like this. Have you ever seen it or know where it is?"

I picked up the notepad and showed it to the cat. 

He stroked his chin, carefully examining the picture on the notepad.

Hmm. Its definitely a plant Ive seen nearby.

"Is that true?" 

But I cant remember where I saw it.

After contemplating for a while, he was never able to bring his memory back.

Im sorry, I cant remember.

. Its okay."

Instead, let me introduce you to someone who knows. 

If you walk along that road, you will see a shop with medicinal herbs on it. Ask the owner there, he'll probably give you an answer."

I was delighted and grateful for his kind explanation.

"Thank you."

I don't need your thank you. If you really appreciate it, leave this town as soon as possible. That way we won't have to scuffle with each other anymore."

The cat beast named Reville, disappeared into the village leaving those cold words.

His cold attitude was a little harsh, but it didn't seem like he was lying to us.

Lia and I went to the store as described.

Lia.. What happened to the people here ? Why do they seems to hate demons.

Not everyone is like that, but the relationship between Demons and Beasts is not very good. Beasts are called hornless demons' and half demons' and are often discriminated against by demons."

"Ah."

Strictly speaking, I am a demon, so I knew this kind of thing would happen when I come to the village.

She looked at me and bowed her head. 

Sorry  Mr. Sihyeon. I showed you a bad side of mine.

No.no That was rather helpful. And when you protected me earlier you looked so cool.

tth..thank you."

Lia turned her head slightly, blushing as she was embarrassed by my compliment.

As we were walking along the road, we quickly found the shop  that Reville cat was talking about.

I walked into the store, smelling various medicinal herbs.

"Excuse me."

"Who is it?

We were greeted by a raccoon dog who looked like an old-aged man.

Hohoho! Noble demons coming to a shabby shop like. Strange thing do happen as you live long 

The raccoon beast said it in a sarcastic tone. 

"we came here with the introduction of  Reville. We are looking for plants, and he said someone here know well about such things."

You have come to the right place. okay. What are you looking for?

I showed the picture in notepad. 

Without needing to add any additional explanations, the raccoon beast recognized the plants in the picture at once.

I know what it is. I know where they grow.

Where can we get this plant?

Why do I have to tell you that?

Pardon?

The raccoon beast smiled as if it was funny to see me bewildered.

So why do I have to do such a thing for free?

If you need money

"I do not need it. Especially if its money from a demons pocket.

Even when Lia said that she would pay the money, the raccoon dog, reacted harshly.

She didn't want to talk in the first place, but she still voiced in for me and got into an awkward situation.  

I kind of felt bad for putting her in the spot.

But what the hell are you?

Me ?"

"Yeah. You doesn't look like a demon because don't have horns, and you doesn't seem like one of us either."

I am human.

"Human? I've heard of it before, but this is the first time I've seen one in real life."

The raccoon beast looked around at me.

Then he put his face near my pocket and started sniffing.

Oh my goodness. What sweet smell is this? Do humans really have such a sweet smell?

"Ah! This isn't my smell"

I pulled out the candy I was going to give the baby rabbit out of my pocket.

The sweet scent of candy focused on the palm of my hand.

Huh? What the hell is this?

And he stretched out his hand to pick up the candy as if possessed.

Fwoooo

I reflexively avoided the touch of the raccoon beast who was trying to pick up the candy.

Every time he reached out to pick up the candy, I slyly shook it all off. 

The raccoon beast's long beard trembled as if he had gotten irritated.

Are you making fun of an old man..?

"Haha. Just kidding. Didnt you did the same."

"what?"

"Because there's no reason to hand over this for free, right?"

Okay

I returned the same thing that the raccoon beast had said earlier.

He stared at me for a moment, then raised his hands with a look of loss.

"Great. I'll tell you about that plant you showed earlier, so give me that sweet thing."

Tell me first.

It is a plant called purple forget-me-not, or lake forget-me-not. It mainly grows in wet places. It grows in lakes and wetlands."

"Where can I get it?"

From here, Indigo Mirror Lake is the closest. If you go there, it will probably be scattered all over the place. Are you okay now?"

After finishing his words, the raccoon beast proudly held out his hand.

I also handed the candy with a satisfied expression.

He looked at the candy and smelled it.

He sticks out his tongue slightly to taste it, and his whole body trembles.

Oh.my.. such a strong sweetness?!"

He nibbled at the candy to the point where it looked ugly, and at the end he put it in his mouth and savoured its taste. 

There was a feeling of happiness in the plump raccoon as his tail started waving gently.

Lia, Do you know where Indigo Mirror Lake is?

"sorry. Its a place I dont even heard about.

"Excuse me. Raccoon Grandpa. Can you tell me where the Indigo Mirror Lake is?

"Why? you should figure that out. Because there was no talk of the lake in the deal.

The raccoon beast avoided answering as if not interested. 

But his smirk and his eyes were directed towards my pocket.

Ah.! Sly like a real raccoon

I took another candy out of my pocket.

One is not enough. Give me two.

"I'll take you directly to the lake instead. Are you satisfied with that?"

"Okay. So, I'll give you one in advance, and I'll give you the other one when I arrive at the lake ? Are you okay with that ?

All right, the contract is established. 

I handed a candy to the raccoon beast first.

Checking the candy, he yelled at the back of the store.

Miru! Are you there? Come out for a moment." 

"Yes! Did you call grandpa? 

From the back of the store, an old-fashioned girl, who looked to be about 8 or 9 years old, ran out from behind.

Miru, take these guests to the Indigo Mirror Lake.

"A guest? Huh?"

When the girl confirmed Lia's existence, she gave a startled expression on her face.

Hey, Grandpa. Is that person a demon?

If you make a deal, even demons are customers. Go away soon and when you come, you have to bring this sweet thing. Understand?"

"Ugh. Okay. Follow me, you two."

Lia and I looked at each other's eyes at the image of a girl who was worried about something. 

But there was no alternative, so we had no choice but to follow the cat girl.

The cat girl led us out of the town and into the forest.

It was a forest with no trace of a road, but the girl easily took her direction and moved her steps.

The problem was not in finding the way, but somewhere else.

peek.

The girl continued to stare at us which seems to be little disturbing.

It felt like she is being chased by us.

If you don't focus on the road ahead, you'll fall

crash

"Aww!" 

Did the words become reality?

The girl tripped her foot into the root of a tall tree. 

With a worried mind, Lia and I approached the girl.

"Are you okay?"

The cat girl saw us approaching and she suddenly burst into tears.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Why. what's the matter? Are you hurt a lot?"

"Please. Don't eat me." 

??

I dont eat much, so I wont taste good. Ahhhhh!

Me and Lia were at a loss of words for what to do when she said something incomprehensible and started crying.

We first tried to converse in a soft tone as much as possible to reassure the child.

Did you say your name is Miru?

ugh.

We are not going to eat you, so calm down.

Uhhhh. really

The sound was slightly reduced, but the crying did not stop.

Thinking of a way to comfort her, I pulled out the last candy left in my pocket and shoved it into the girl's mouth.

Dump!

When she tasted the sweet candy, the cat girl stopped crying as if it was a lie.

Lia, who was watching together, had an expression on her face as if she had seen something strange.

This is really an all-purpose candy. 

A candy that solves all problems.

fihhh.

It was so cute to see her watery eyes wide open and her cheeks moving wildly.

I carefully stretched out my arms towards the girl who was still on the floor.

Perhaps thanks to the universal peace-maker candy, the girl held our her arms without any resistance.

"Are you okay now?"

Nod.

Can you tell me which way to the lake?

"there."

We started moving again in the direction the cat girl was pointing.

About ten minutes passed, and the cat girl, who had calmed her mind, seemed to have completely lowered her vigilance and slurped her words out.

Grandpa Racoon is so mean, dont you think so?" 

I can't believe he let such a fragile girl like me to go with someone he barely know.

"Yeah. That's a bit too much."

At first, I was so scared. Following a demon. If uncle and sister were not good people, I might have been eaten.

Will you get eaten ?

"Yes. That's what the village elders say. Bad demons eat children alive.

She looked at Lia with a feeling of surprise at her shocking testimony.

Lia shook her head with a very sad expression on her face. 

She shook it so hard that her neck seemed to hurt. 

It must have been a lie from the village elders to scare the children.

Hey Miru? Is the place where you got injured when you fell off alright ?"

I think my knee is a little crooked, but it's okay"

Then shall I drop you off now?

"Mister. Can't you hold me for a little while? Please?

I looked up at the girl with bright eyes and a slightly trembling voice. 

A request that cannot be refused.

Of course its fine. Let me know if you want to get off later."

"Hehehe. Thank you. Mister."

Lia looked at me with envy as I held Miru.

But is the cat girl is still afraid of the demon Lia. 

Every time she sees her she digs deeper into my arms.

After 30 minutes of moving according to Miru's words, we reached a place where my feet felt a little damp.

Soon after, before my eyes, a lake so large that I could hardly see it appeared.

This is Indigo Mirror Lake.

As the name suggests, the lake was transparent and calm enough to be called a mirror. 

After looking at the scenery of the lake for a while, I turned and started looking for the purple forget-me-not.

found it!

I was able to find the same plant as the one I saw while interacting with Yakum.

I put down Miru for a while to dig for the purple forget-me-not.

"Mister. Do you need this?"

Where did the sack come from?

I always carry it with me because Grandpa Raccoon told me to do so. I'll lend this to you"

She handed her sack and I gently stroked her hair.

Thank you. I just needed it.

"Hehe."

I started looking for the purple forget-me-nots with the sack I was handed over. 

As the raccoon grandfather said, forget-me-nots were scattered all over the river. 

Thanks to this, I found enough forget-me-nots to fill the sack in no time. 

After gathering, I went back to where Lia and Miru were.

"Mister! Look at this. The demon sister treated me.

A clean handkerchief was wrapped around Miru's leg.

While I was looking for the purple forget-me-not, Lia seemed to have did first aid to her knee wound.

Lia naturally hugged Miru, who was excited.

You wont feel pain anymore.

Yes. Thank you. Demon sister! 

Lia smiled softly at Miru's thanks.

On the way back from the search of the purple forget-me-not, the cute cat girl was constantly chattering.

In the meantime, she even had a brief conversation with Lia even though it was a small one.

Thanks to this, we didn't have time to get bored while walking through the forest.

Eventually, we came out of the forest and arrived at a place where the entrance to the village could be seen.

We wanted to take Miru all the way to the village, but we were afraid that things will once again get complicated, so we had no choice but to stop here.

Uncle, demon sister. I will go.

"Yes. Miru. Thank you for guiding me today." 

Before going to the village, Miru asked carefully.

"Can we meet again later?"

"Sure."

"really?"

"I'll bring something more delicious next time."

Its a promise. Uncle!

Accepting the promise, Miru smiled brightly and ran to the entrance to her village.

Until her cute back figure disappeared, Lia and I stood there watching for a while.

"Ah! Mr.Sihyeon. Aren't you supposed to deliver candy to the raccoon beast?"

There is no candy left. And it's okay because Ive already kept my promise."

What?

He said to give one in advance, and the rest when we arrived at the lake, but he never said to whom to give it.

Liane remembered the candy that I had given to Miru before, and she smiled a little.

I laughed out loud together, imagining the raccoon beasts expression on his face.

When we returned to the ranch, the red sun was already setting over the top of the mountain.

We headed to the fence where we last saw a herd of Yakum.

Fortunately, I was able to find a group of Yakum that had not yet left not far away.

Here. Here it is! I found this!

I shouted waving the sack of forget-me-nots towards the Yakum crowd.

Fortunately, a Yakum came over from the crowd as if my voice reached it.

It was the Yakum who communicated with me.

I took a forget-me-not from the bag and held it towards the Yakum.

Is this right? The plant you showed me.

Boo woo woo woo!

When Yakum saw the purple forget-me-not, it cried out with joy.

And little by little, started to eat the forget-me-not.

I took some forget-me-nots in the sack and handed them to Yakum.

After a while, a soft light emanated from the Yakum, who ate all the forget-me-nots in the sack. 

I naturally reached out to the Yakum, as if led by the light.

Boo woo woo!

This time, a very strong energy, which I have never experienced before, flowed through my arms.

The energy that poured out to the point where I felt stiff.

[Intimacy with the beast has increased.]

[Subject has intimate feelings' towards you.]

[Subject thanks you for bringing the forget-me-not.]

A voice similar to the previous one echoes in my head.

But it didn't end there.

[Obtain a fragment of an earth soul.]

[Some stats increase.]

The stats have risen up by a little and new abilities have been added.

But there was something else that surprised me.

[ You feel the vibration of life from the target.]

A small, clear wave was felt inside of Yakum.

Its very weak, but it was clearly conveying its presence to me.

Was it because we were emotionally connected? 

Or is it because I felt the mystery of small waves?

Unknowingly, feeling a little overwhelmed with emotion, I said to Yakum in a trembling voice.

"you ."

Boo woo woo!

Are you going to be a mother?

It is a female Yakum.

______________

"Thank you for the work."

Ryan welcomed me back as I came out of the Demon Realm.

How was your first day at work?

I have a lot more work than I thought. I don't know if I could do it well."

Hahaha. If its Sihyeon you can do more than enough for the job. Let's go. You must have been very tired from the first day of work, so I will drive you home.

Thank you. Then I will be in your care.

It was a proposal that I would have rejected normally, but the day in the Demon World was tiring and along with it came great fatigue.

I couldn't possibly stand for long hours in the train at this rush hour on my way home from work. 

So, I drove home in Ryan's foreign car which was a killer ride. 

It was a comfortable way to go home, except for an accident that almost happened when Ryan was so surprised when he heard the news that a Yakum is pregnant.

A lot of things happened on a single day. 

With that my first day at Demon Farm came to an end.
