Chapter 18
"Hello. Ryan!"
“Good morning. Sihyeon.”
Ryan, as usual, sat in the office and greeted me warmly.
I got a lot of help from him yesterday, so his handsome face looked even more handsome.
"Did you find a house yesterday?"
"Yes. Thanks to you, I signed a contract for a good house at a low price. My mother liked it a lot too. Thank you.
“As I said yesterday, there is no need to feel burdened at all. Because I helped out as much as I could.”
In my mind, it would be right to say thank you again and again, but I didn't mention it anymore because it seemed to make Ryan uncomfortable.
“By the way, Sihyeon. I think you brought a lot of stuff today…..”
"Ah! This time, I got a lot of help and the bonuses were huge, so I prepared a few gifts for everyone in the farm. Could it be a problem?”
"Hmm…"
Unexpectedly, Ryan looked seriously troubled.
I wondered if there might be a problem, so I became a little nervous.
Can't I take it?
Yesterday I went around the department store a few times to prepare the presents.
Fortunately, Ryan quickly released his serious expression and nodded his head.
“ Why would it not be okay? Afterall it's a gift that Sihyeon prepared himself, so I can't return it. I will take responsibility, so take it.”
"Thank you. Then take this.”
“…….For me?"
I handed one of the gifts I brought to Ryan.
He reacted astonishingly, as he never expected that he would receive a gift.
“I don’t know if you will like it, but I tried to prepare it as a gift that would suit you as much as possible.”
"I'm a little confused. Is it okay if I open it now?"
"Yes."
He opened the beautifully wrapped box and took out the contents.
Inside, there was the men's perfume I bought at the department store yesterday.
“What is this?”
“It’s a perfume. I don’t usually use it, but I bought it because I thought Ryan would use it well. Do you hate perfume?”
“It’s not that I hate it, it’s that I’ve never used it before. I've seen other people use it a few times in this world.”
You shouldn't judge people by their appearance.
I thought if it’s Ryan, he'll probably use a lot of cosmetics and perfumes like celebrities.
Ryan fiddled with the perfume like a child looking at a strange thing.
Then, when he sprayed a little perfume on his hand, the fresh smell spread all over the place.
Definitely like the salesman recommended it.
It wasn't a strong scent like an old person, but a soft and fresh fruity scent that suited the image of Ryan well.
“It’s really fragrant. It doesn't seem as bad as I thought. I will use it well, Sihyeon."
“I am glad that you liked it. And for the reference…”
“…?”
I walked over to Ryan and whispered a little.
“Ryan’s gift is the most expensive.”
Of course, I received a lot of help from other members of the farm, but the biggest help was from Ryan, so I had to pay more attention to his gift.
He smiled slightly satisfied.
“Gifts are more about the heart than their value, but hearing definitely feels better.”
“Please keep it a secret from others.”
"hahah. Sure."
Me and Ryan laughed and promised to keep it a secret.
⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩
I walked on the road to the Demon farm after entering through the gate.
Even though I had only had a day off, I missed this fresh, refreshing air.
Especially yesterday, because I was walking around the city all day, I felt more welcome to this clean air.
I left the luggage at the entrance of the building for a while and headed towards the barn.
Inside the fence, some were still sleeping while some were already awake and grazing.
After looking at the Yakum over the fence for a while, I carefully opened the door to the barn.
Inside, Hermosa and the three siblings were sleeping together.
I looked at them with a smile, but Hermosa heard my footsteps and woke up.
Hermosa found me through her sleepy eyes and slowly approached me and greeted me.
– Boo…
"sorry. Did I wake you up?"
I felt sorry for waking her up, so I immediately took out the present I had prepared.
It was a large pet brush.
" Come on, Hermosa, sit here."
Hermosa sat next to me and I started brushing her slowly.
Since the brush was made for large pets, it looked big, but the size of the Yakum was so large that it felt small.
Still, the effect started to appear on the areas where the hairs were tangled.
As if she liked, Hermosa comfortably closed her eyes and enjoyed brushing.
It's good that Hermosa likes it.
It is a lot harder than I thought….
By the time I finished, sweat started to form on my forehead.
Still, Hermosa is very satisfied, so it was worth the hard work.
I sat down for a while to cool off the heat in my body.
– Po wooo.
The second customer arrived earlier than expected.
– Wo wooo.
“Kawaii. You woke up?"
Kawaii started rubbing her head by my side.
Perhaps she kept watching me combing Hermosa’s hair.
She came out with bright eyes and looked at the brush.
"Ugh. Do you want some brushing.?"
– Po wo woo!
Though only a small part of my physical strength has recovered, I could not disappoint Kawaii, who is full of anticipation.
"Ahh. So, customer… would you please come and sit here”
This time, I started brushing Kawaii, who was in a sitting position.
Unlike Hermosa, the hair was softer and not stiff, so it was much easier to comb.
After careful brushing is finished.
Kawaii had changed into a much cleaner look.
It felt a little more round, and the hair was very shiny.
I suddenly remembered something, and pulled out of my pocket.
It was the red string left over from wrapping the gift.
I made a red ribbon with it and tied it to the well-groomed hair of Kawaii.
It was really cute even though I was the one who made it..
“Aww! Kawaii! Who do you resemble to be this cute?”
-Po po wooo.
As I hugged her tightly and rubbed my face, Kawaii got startled and struggled for a moment in my arms.
I released Kawaii only after taking enough pictures to my satisfaction.
When looking at the pictures of cute Kawaii, a smile appeared on my face without knowing.
Was it because of the little noise I made?
Pow wooo!
Pow po wo!
Soon after, the third and fourth customers who did not even have a reservation came.
"Uh… Ugh. You guys want to do it too."
I have no choice but to go with the Tanduk first.
Only after the third and fourth customers have finished brushing.
I was able to get out of the barn in a state of exhaustion with a body full of hair.
It was nice to see Hermosa and the baby Yakum happy, but I thought I should refrain from frequent combing.
After breakfast,
When Lia served hot tea, I took out the present I had prepared.
“Lia, Boss, take this.”
"…?"
“Sihyeon. What's this?"
“After I started working on the farm, a lot of good things happened to me. So, I prepared a small gift for all of you, who helped me a lot.”
Hearing my explanation, Kaneff glanced at the gift with a strange expression on his face, while Lia shook her whole body and twinkled her eyes.
“I’m just doing what I have to do. You don't need to give me this…….”
Although her mouth said it was not necessary, her face was full of anticipation like a child on Christmas Day.
If there was a tail that I saw last time, would it have been waving without mercy?
“Open it. I will explain what kind of gift it is.”
"Thank you. then………."
Lia carefully checked the presents.
There were two kinds of gifts I prepared for her.
One was beauty products, and the other was for kitchen utensils needed for kitchen work.
“This is shampoo and conditioner for washing your hair, and this is bar de-wash and shower towels…”
Lia was very interested in the toiletries I brought.
The corners of her lips trembled, unable to hide the joy that was leaking out of her.
“Really….Will you give me all of this? Such precious things…”
“It may be rare here, but it’s common in the world out there. You don't have to think too much about it. I'll give it to you again when you use it all up, so feel free to use it."
“Sihyeon……”
" Okay. I'll explain about the rest of the kitchenware."
Lia looked at me with a really moved expression.
She was a little shy too, so she quickly put her head down, pretending to be seeing the kitchen utensil explanation.
After I finished explanation of Lia’s gift, I turned my gaze to Kaneff.
"Boss…..About your gift…..”
"Yes? What?"
An eye patch with a pink character on his forehead, a pink neck pillow on his neck, and pink sleeping slippers on his feet.
Kaneff, who had turned pink, forgot the chocolate cookies wrapped in gold leaf as a gift.
“……”
"Why? Isn't this how you use it?"
"No. You are using it well."
what is this
While I was proud of how 100% of the gift was used, my emotions were complicated because of his expression that showed no thanks.
But at the thought that this was the usual Kaneff-like appearance, I immediately smiled in dismay.
I handed the chocolate cookie to Lia, who was still obsessed with toiletries.
“Lia, try this too. I bought chocolate cookies to eat together.”
"Ah! Yes. I will eat.”
When three of us were preoccupied with the taste of authentic Italian fine chocolates.
Someone quickly walked into the dining room.
“You were here. I want to tell you in a hurry… What is all this?”
"Andras, you are here?"
Andras is hooded and masked as always, his eyes widened as he saw the gifts scattered here and there.
“Mr. Andras. look at this These are the things that Sihyeon gave me.”
“Huh. These are the gifts Sihyeon bought us as a thank you. Are you envious?"
"Is that so?"
Andras looked at the ripped gift boxes with envy. As his big shoulders dropped sadly, I smiled and pulled out a gift box I had prepared for him.
"Here. I also prepared one for Andras.”
"Ugh! Really… for me?”
He jumped up in surprise.
“Of course. Andras helped me a lot.
“Sihyeon……”
He must have been deeply moved, that his eyes were moistened unsuitably for his large size.
“Tch. Why is there a gift for a guy who plays around every day?”
Andras stared at Kaneff for a moment, who was trying to destroy his emotions in the middle, and then again expressed his gratitude to me with soft eyes.
"Thank you. May I open it now?”
"Sure."
He carefully unwrapped the wrapping paper and checked the gift.
"This?"
“Hand cream is a product that protects your hands from injury. I heard that you use your hands a lot when working, so I prepared this.”
"Ah. Thank you."
“I think you have big hands, so I put two of them with a lot of capacity, so use them generously.”
Andras followed my instructions and applied the hand cream directly onto his hands.
The soft scent and moist feeling were not bad, and his eyes opened wide in surprise.
"Thank you very much. I will use it well.”
In a friendly atmosphere, Kaneff spit out words.
“But what are you here for? Oh, I saw you came in, in a hurry."
"Oh! Oh my!"
"What? Why are you so surprised?"
“At a time like this…”
Andras is in a quandary as if he had forgotten something important.
and soon afterwards.
-Vroooooooooooooooo!!
A heavy vibrating sound came from outside the building.
Naturally, everyone's eyes turned towards Andras.
“I was going to tell you in advance, but I was so glad that I got the gift…and forgot….”
“Those who are in the building. Come here right now!”
An overbearing voice resounded.
