How to get Healed at Demon Farm

A week has passed since Hermosa gave birth.

Hermosa, who had a lot of trouble giving birth, has now completely recovered. 

The taste she had lost had returned, and she seemed to have no discomfort at all in moving. 

"Eat a lot. There are more, so tell me if it’s not enough.”

Boo woo woo.

Seeing Hermosa eating happily early in the morning, I felt the reward of preparing her favourite food for a week.

"Is there any uncomfortable place?"

Boo woo. Boo!

“me ? Are you worried about me ? Hahaha." 

Rather, I burst into laughter at the sight of Hermosa who cares about me. 

If someone who don't know about my ability sees it, it might look like I’m having an imaginary conversation with the Demon Beast in front of me, but unlike what they see, I’m actually having a steady conversation. 

This is because a little communication became possible as the relationship became trusting and the ability to ‘sympathize' improved. 

Complex conversations are difficult, but I am able to understand exactly what Hermosa is trying to say and how she feels.

Why is Hermosa worried about me? 

Waiting all night on the day of childbirth + The weather was colder than expected + Violent movement in the last urgent situation. 

It was for the exact reasons, that I had caught a bad cold the next day.

I usually had some confident in my stamina and mental health. 

But contrary to my thoughts, it seemed that the physical and mental pressure were far greater, that it caused a backlash in my body.

Hermosa who had to endure labor pain recovered rather far quickly than me.

Still, I did not forget to take care of the Hermosa's meal and check her condition in the midst of the cold. 

And Hermosa seemed to be worried because she knew about my pain. 

“Don’t worry about me, for now, just think about taking care of your body and the babies. Understand?"

– Boo woo. 

I stroked Hermosa who smiled and responded with a curious answer.

I couldn't help but admire the way she was worried about me, while she was the one who endured far more pain during the difficult childbirth.

In addition, the newly born baby Yakum were also very healthy….

-puck!

“Ah!”

Rather they seem to be too healthy, that it can be a problem.

I turned my head and looked down at the culprit who hit the back of my leg. 

A baby Yakum, still small in size, with white and soft baby fur, was looking up at me.

“Tanduk.! Are you playing dangerously again?"

Paow wooo!

This guy, who looks like a miniature Bighorn, was the eldest of the three siblings.

Since he had the signature big horns like Bighorn, I named him Tanduk, which means Horn in Malay language.

He was so active that he had already wandered all over the barn and the surroundings.

The problem was that he was full of energy and loves playing pranks on others particularly the head-butting. 

So a day doesn’t pass without him creating any accident.

He had already head-butted all the Yakums in the farm, and I seem to be the one, who had got the most number of his head-butts.

He also slammed his head into the huge Bighorn without mercy. 

He seems to be a Yakum born with one hell of a gut.

At first, I accepted it like his cute joke, but now that he gained strength and had accidents here and there. 

I couldn't be at ease, so I decided to be strict with him.

“ Hey Tanduk! Didn't I say that, you shouldn't head-butt anywhere like that?"

Pow woo wo?

“Stop it! Stop giving those innocent expression every time to get away. I’m not going to fall for that this time.” 

I turned my head and moved away from Tanduk, then suddenly a knocked down bucket, which was full of water came into my vision.

I slowly turned my head towards Tanduk, who was turning his head away from me, avoiding my gaze.

” You….Did you knock down this too? Huh? Didn’t I tell you  not to do that, few minutes back.? Didn't I Tanduk.?”

Mouuuuu…

Knowing that he is being scolded, his expression started turning pale. 

Also, seeing the sad expression aches my heart. 

Why is my heart so weak? 

I lowered my voice slightly and patted Tanduk on the head softly. 

“Next time, I will be really angry. So you shouldn’t do it..got it.?”

Mu woo woo.

Noticing that my anger had subsided, Tanduk rubbed his body against my leg. 

While laughing on seeing the absurd cuteness, my hand gently stroked the boy.

Then Tanduk lay flat in front of me and even showed his belly. 

“ For a guy who looks like Bighorn, you are lot cuter than that stiff faced Bighorn…right Tanduk.?”

Mouuuuuuu…

Ahhhhh…..I did it once again.

Every time when I try to scold him, he acts like this and makes my anger disappear.

This guy is definitely not reflecting on his action.

He acts like this knowingly……knowing my weakness.

You….Tanduk. 

I grumbled inwardly, but the happy smile did not disappear from my lips.

As I was petting Tanduk, another baby Yakum sneaked up next to me.

She was a little girl with small horns and a more resemblance to Hermosa.

The second, unlike the first, is completely docile. 

When I was nearby, she would stare at me, or she would sneak up to me like this and show me her cute little face.

That's why I named her ‘Kawaii', which means cutie in Japanese.

“Kawaii.. you are here..…”

Mu ouuuuu

Kawaii took a seat next to me and made a cute little cry. 

As I was stroking them with both hands, the youngest baby  appeared.

Muuuuuu 

Seeing his siblings in my arms, the youngest, rushed into my arms.

Thanks to his small size, he fits snugly in my arms. 

With my help, he overcame a near-death crisis, and among the three siblings, he followed me the most. 

The third one is the smallest and has many baby-like features, so I named him Akum. Taking ‘A’ from Agi, which means baby in Korean and ‘Kum' from Yakum.

Seeing his siblings take over my arms, Tanduk got grumpy and got up and shoved his body into my arms. 

Unlike his siblings, Tanduk was large, so of course I couldn’t hold everyone in my arms.

“Wait, don’t push me like that! Whoa!”

With the push of the Tanduk and Akum, I almost fell to the floor. 

Fortunately, the meek Kawaii stood still and I was able to get up again. 

While playing with the three little Yakum siblings, Hermosa let out a low cry reminding them of their meal time.

Boo woo woo.

Then the three siblings headed to their mother. 

As Hermosa gently turned the to the side, the cubs sucked their mother's milk and started having their meal. 

I kept looking Hermosa and the three siblings for a while.

After watching, I started finishing cleaning up of the barn. 

The food container where Hermosa ate was also cleaned up, and clean water was refilled into the bucket that Tanduk had spilled.

After tidying up, I went out of the barn.

As I was going back to the farm building, I heard small footsteps following me.

Mo woo

Akum rushed towards me as if he had already finished breastfeeding.

“Oh, dear. Have you already finished eating?”

Mo mo woo

“Now, you have to go in. You have to play with your mom and other siblings.”

Mo wo wo wooo

Akum shook his head, as if telling that, he wanted to follow me.

I scratched my head with a puzzled expression. 

Unlike the other two siblings, this guy follows me wherever I go. 

Even the lively Tanduk hovers only around the barn, and doesn't wishes to step out of the Yakum herd.

But Akum was different. 

He always followed me regardless of where the Yakum herd was.

Even his mother Hermosa did not find it strange at all.

Rather, it seemed as if she was secretly wanting me to take care of him.

As a mother dealing with all three siblings at the same time definitely seems to be difficult.

It felt like I have been appointed as the nanny for baby Yakums. 

Still, I couldn't leave the guy looking sadly at me moaning, alone like this.

“Okay. I’ll take you. But you should promise me that, you will be quiet…?”

Mo woo wo

When the permission was granted, Akum clinged on to me with a happy cry. 

Even though I thought that it would be tiresome, a smile started to bloom on my lips. 

So, I proceeded with the rest of the morning's work with Akum sticking to me. 

I cleared the stables and exchanged greetings with the Horses grazing nearby. 

"Ahhh. You should wash your feet before entering the house.”

Mo wo wo

As if it was not the first time, Akum wiped his feet comfortably and entered the farm building. 

Lia, who found me and Akum, shouted in surprise. 

"Oh! Can you bring him in like that?” 

"Yes. I think it's probably fine. Even Hermosa doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable, and the other Yakum didn’t respond much.”

“Wow… Sihyeon continues to do amazing things.”

I smiled slightly at her sincere admiration. 

As I made my way to the kitchen, Akum followed me quietly. 

Lia couldn't stop admiring me, and she kept watching me with her eyes wide open as if it is a strange sight. 

Even while the meal is being prepared, she waited for me very quietly outside kitchen and watched both of us. 

Akum was gentle, so I was a little worried about what might happen when Kaneff arrives.

As if he had heard my thoughts Kaneff arrived at the kitchen, and he looked at Akum and made a subtle expression.

“What is this? Why is he here?"

“He has been following me for a while. If it's uncomfortable, can I get him out?" 

“It’s not uncomfortable. I never guessed that I’ll live a life where I will eat while watching a Yakum this close.."

Kaneff expressed his admiration in a slightly different way than Lia. 

It must have been quite a surprise to him too, as he continued to glance at me and Akum.

Around lunchtime, Akum started whining to me as if he was hungry.

Mo woooooo

"Are you hungry?  shall we go back to the barn?"

Mo wo

"okay. Let's go see your mother."

Leaded the hungry Akum to the barn. 

When I entered the barn, Hermosa was already breastfeeding the two siblings.

The moment I thought I had timed it well, Hermosa jumped up from her seat. 

Tanduk and Kawaii, who ate her milk to their heart's content, naturally retreated from the spot. 

When the hungry Akum walked over to his mother, she did not reposition herself to feed Akum.

“Hermosa. What’s wrong.?”

Boo woo woo!

“Ah……."

Hermosa told me her difficult situation. 

It seemed that it was more difficult than I thought to maintain her posture to be able to breastfeed.

Mo wo woo

The hungry Akum made a pathetic cry, but Hermosa seemed to have a hard time. 

While I stood there confused, Hermosa started to say something to me.

Boo woo woo.

Boo woo woo!

"Huh?"

Boo woo woo!

“You really want me to do that?”

At the unexpected request of Hermosa, my head went blank for a moment.

Boo woo woo?

"Ah. Okay. Then wait a minute.”

Waking up to the sound of Hermosa’s crying, I hurriedly ran to the farm building. 

As I headed to the kitchen, I saw Lia cleaning the dishes.

" Lia!"

“Yes, Sihyeon.”

“Is there a big bowl with a decent height?”

"A bowl? Ummm… Wait a minute."

Lia looked around the kitchen at my request, found a suitable one, and handed it to me.

"But where are you going to use this bowl?"

“I’ll tell you later.”

I took the bowl and  hurried back to the barn.

Hermosa was waiting for me on the spot.

I approached her with a nervous expression.

And carefully placed the plate under Hermosa

“Hermosa. Shall I do it.?”

Boo woo woo.

After taking one deep breath.

I carefully stretched out my hand bulging downwards. 

Recalling my memory of milking a cow when I was very young, I started milking Hermosa slowly.

Grasp the top and gently pull downwards to place fresh milk on the plate.

I remembered the words of my father, who use to sit behind me and teach me milking cows.

I felt a warmth on my back.

Contrary to what I feared, Hermosa comfortably accepted my hand. 

I filled the bowl with milk in no time. 

I carefully picked the bowl and brought it to Akum. 

He seemed to be really hungry, so he began to suckle milk.

I stared blankly at it.

And in my head, the words that Ryan said on the first day started appearing one after another.

-The goal is…Milking the Yakum.

-It won't be as easy as you think…

-……..200 million in cash.

“Will they deposit the money right away.”

I muttered in a low voice.

“Is this… is this it…? 200 million?!”

My heart started pounding as if I had won the lottery.
