Chapter 7
Did you forget anything?
"Yes. I have taken care of it. Its okay not to see me off every time.
Even if I cant make breakfast, I have to see off my hard-working son.
I wish she could have slept comfortably a little longer.
A mother who always sees you off at the front door.
I felt sad even though I was thankful for her.
"Ahh. Today is the day for moms monthly check-up.
I have placed a reservation for the afternoon at the hospital.
"Shall I come later and take mom to the hospital.?
Aww. That's okay. Dont worry about me.
In my heart, I wanted to take a half-day leave and take mother directly, but she hated it, so I didnt compel her anymore.
You have to tell me right away when the results come out. If there's something wrong with it, don't hide it, and I'll call the doctor."
"Okay."
And if there is anything, always call the phone number I gave you last time, and he said that you can call him anytime, so be sure to call him.
Ugh, even your father wasnt this nagging. Who do you resemble to be so nagging?
Well if I didnt resemble my father, then all thats left is my mother.. Okay then, Ill be on my way, so take care.
I packed my things and headed out to the front door.
I went out of the entrance of the old apartment and walked down the alleyway.
_______________
Nearly a month has passed since I got a job at Demon Farm.
Now I'm used to going to work.
Thanks to the faster commute time than the first time, I was able to use the subway at a leisurely pace.
A little past 7 am, I arrived at the Inferris office.
Good morning. Sihyeon.
"Hello. Ryan.
Even though it was quite early, Ryan greeted me as usual.
How early does this person go to work?
"Ah! Mr. Sihyeon. Today, there will probably be a visitor to the farm.
A guest ?
Yes. He is a friend who brings necessary items and checks the facilities.
Hmm. If it's a visitor, it must be a demon, right?
It would be nice if he weren't too eccentric like the demons I knew.
You don't have to worry about that. Compared to Mr. Kaneff or Lia, hes a much more ordinary friend.
Huh. Did it come out on my face.?
No, Its not like that, Im usually a bit quick-witted This is all I wanted to say. So good luck at the farm.
Yes, Ryan. Thank you. Good luck to you too ."
After exchanging greetings with Ryan, I casually opened the door to the demon realm.
Now that I'm used to it, I feel like I'm riding in an amusement ride these days.
I left the familiar cave and headed straight for the farm.
This clean air and the fresh feeling were always fresh and pleasant.
When it comes to happiness on the way to work, wouldn't I be quite high on the list in Korea?
As I was thinking about nonsensical stuff, I arrived at a farm building.
I quietly opened the door and entered my room on the second floor.
Work clothes were kept carefully folded on the bed.
After giving thanks to Lia for the preparation, I changed into work clothes.
I left the still quiet building and headed for my first job.
"Hello. Guys! Did anything go wrong at night ?"
Heh heh.
Hehehe.
The horses in the stable welcomed me warmly.
Thanks to taking care of them for a month, my closeness also increased a lot.
Recently, Lia also taught me how to ride a horse.
I wasn't enough experienced to run fast on a horse yet, but just walking slowly was also a state of being immersed in the charm of horseback riding.
I took the horses out and took them to a place with fresh grass, while I cleaned the dirty stables.
After cleaning, I finished the job in a snap, from filling the water and feeding tanks.
Then I brought the horses back into the stables and moved on to other work.
The next place I went to was the barn where the owner had not yet been found.
Of course, the place was dirty and there was no need to prepare food, but I came here every day and cleaned it simply.
while sweeping the floor.
Are you cleaning it even today?
"Ugh! "
I was startled by the sudden voice.
When I turned around, Kaneff, leaning at the entrance to the barn, was looking at me.
Ugh. Boss. If you come, please tell me you're here.
Despite my violent reaction, Kaneff only yawned with his characteristic relaxed expression.
Why are you surprised? I always call you.
"You don't usually call me. You don't even come out of the house very often."
Do I.
The conversation goes on quite plainly.
Although not as much as Lia, the relationship with Kaneff has also progressed a lot.
Unlike the first meeting, which was indifferent.
Recently, we greeted each other naturally and sometimes talked to each other.
Of course, this was the first time he had followed me to the barn.
What did you say earlier?
So, why are you cleaning this place again.? Its a barn with nothing, but you clean it every day.. for what purpose.
At first, I thought he was joking, but looking at his serious eyes, it seemed that there was no such intention at all.
After a moment's hesitation, I seriously confessed what I thought.
Its a bit embarrassing to talk about. If I work hard every day like this, I wondered if the Yakum guys will magically come here one day.
Hearing my answer, Kaneff put on a puzzled expression on his face.
Magically.Thats why it's more meaningless dont you think?
Well but my father used to be like that. He used to say that even animals that cannot speak understands and responds to everything we do. So if I try like this, then maybe someday they'll recognize it?"
Kaneff didn't react to my words, embarrassingly enough.
It seemed as if he was thinking of something, but on the other hand, he also seemed to have overlooked my words.
"what are you doing?"
wha?
Isnt the cleaning over yet?
"Ah yes. It's not over yet."
Do what you do then.
Did he possibly come here to help..?
I waited for a while, but Kaneff just leaned against the wall near the entrance and gave his usual languid expression.
Ahhh. end it fast before the sleepy king of destruction enters the kitchen again."
"Yes. It will be over soon.
As soon as I answered, I quickly finished the rest of the cleaning.
After cleaning the barn, I went back to the farm building with Kaneff.
Just then, I ran into Lia coming down from the second floor through the stairs.
A half-drowsed face, dressed in pajamas as if she is straight out of bed.
Besides, she was half disheveled, so it looked like her undergarments could be seen through her pajamas.
" Excuse me."
It was a pretty cute pyjamas, but somehow it seemed that it was not polite to look, so I turned my head.
Kaneff bit his tongue and soon approached her and flicked her on the forehead.
-puck!!
"ouch!"
A terrifying sound came out of the flick that seemed to have been hit lightly.
Perhaps thanks to this, Lia quickly came to her senses ran up to the second floor.
Im sorry Sihyeon, I'm so sorry.
____________
Returning to her usual maid attire, Lia bowed her head repeatedly.
Not only her forehead, which had been hit hard, but her entire face was red and hot.
I overslept and looked ugly in the morning
"It's okay. Just calm down."
"sorry. Forget what I just showed you.
I didn't think it was that bad
I remembered her cute figure in the pajamas and I smiled softly.
"What about me? I also saw something ugly because of you.
At Kaneff's words, Lia frowned.
Mr.Kaneff, be quiet. The forehead that was hit before is still tingling.
The maid who overslept was rather angry with the owner. What kind of world is this.
Ahh! But Im from a race that sleeps a lot, so what can I do?
Liane protested as if it was a bit unfair.
Still, ashamed that she overslept, she blushed again.
Lia, Please sit down. I will prepare meal for you soon.
I sat Lia down at the table and served her prepared breakfast.
This morning's menu is buttered and toasted bread and soft omelet.
And a salad made with vegetables and fruits from the demon world.
"Bon appetite."
Immediately, she brought the dish to near her and started eating breakfast.
It is a very common food on Earth and has an ordinary taste, but the two demons enjoyed breakfast with great satisfaction.
For Lia, at first, she couldn't enjoy my cooking because of the loss of being in charge of cooking, but now she was completely used to my cooking.
Instead, there are difficult cases.
There are times when Lia, watching the cooking process, suddenly asks that she wants to try it by herself to see if she has gained any confidence.
Of course, almost all requests are being rejected because of the unspoken pressure from Kaneff.
Each time, Lia looked pitiful, I pretended not to see it, in order to prevent a catastrophe that would happen.
In Kaneff's case, it was very easy.
He only made fried eggs, which he admired.
What more explanation is needed?
And I found out something unique.
The point was that the Demon realm was a place where sweets were very precious.
Fruits and vegetables, as well as most food ingredients, were insignificant.
Therefore, the threshold for sweetness was very low.
However, it was said that food ingredients with strong sweetness had a very high value and could only be enjoyed by beings of high status.
It was no exaggeration to say that they were surprised when they ate the candy.
After breakfast, Lia headed to the kitchen to clean up, and Kaneff began to doze off as he sat on a dining chair.
While I sat down and enjoyed the afterglow of the meal,
Knock, Knock, Knock.
A knock was heard on the front door of the building.
There was no response because no one except me heard the knock on the door.
Reluctantly, I headed towards the front door.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Hearing the knocking sound again, I opened the door and checked the other party.
In front of the open door, someone with a black hood turned over.
Two horns that stand out next to his large size.
He was wearing a mask that covered his mouth and nose with pale skin, and his eyes were dark.
Dark circles were cast on his eyes.
If ordinary people imagined demons, wouldn't it be like this?
It was a demon with a dark and heavy atmosphere that came to mind naturally.
"who are you?"
At my tensed question, the demon scrambled his arms as if in bewilderment.
After a while, he realized something, bent his torso, and brought his face closer to mine.
He looked at me with his two hazy eyes, and a heavy, low-pitched voice came out through the mask he was wearing.
Are you Lim Sihyeon?
