Chapter 29
Swoosh. Swoosh.
The pleasant sound of the brush brushing Yakum's fur was heard.
I hummed to the sound of the comb.
My combing skills became so natural and relentless that they were now on a different level.
"How is it? Isn't it refreshing?"
– Boo…woo
When asked, Chorongi made a pleasant cry.
I also felt better and continued brushing harder.
[The subject has "intimate feelings" for you]
[The target feels comfortable]
Not only Chorongi but also another life wave was felt in the naturally triggered communication ability.
A small wave that I felt which I felt in Hermosa.
A few days ago, I began to feel it in Chorongi too.
It seems that Chorongi is also pregnant.
I wasn't as surprised as the first time, but this small wave of life I experienced again still made me wonder and feel excited.
Naturally, recent days most of my attention was given to Chorongi.
I always checked if she has any inconvenience or lack of food.
[The target wants blue star mushrooms]
"Oh, my. Chorongi wants to eat the blue star mushroom. Wait a little bit. I’ll bring you a lot."
– Boo wooo
There must be no blue rising star mushrooms left.
There is no stock of other things too, so I should visit the Beast tribe Village.
While walking thinking about today's schedule I saw Lia sitting in a squatting position.
Thinking what was going on, I approached her and called her.
“Lia…Are you all…?”
"Shhh!"
"……?"
Lia placed her index finger in her mouth and made a move asking me to be quiet.
To the puzzled me, she slowly pointed somewhere.
There, I saw a girl with fox ears was taking a nap with Kawaii.
The sight of hugging each other tightly felt like a scene from a fairy tale.
I slowly took out my cell phone because I was obligated to capture this scene.
I took a picture at an angle where the two faces came out as well as possible.
Haaah.
I won't have to worry about the wallpaper for a while.
While me and Lia stood in that place fallen in love with cuteness, the fox girls ears pricked up and moved.
The girl, who opened her eyes, began to look around with a half-asleep look.
When she found me with sleepy eyes, she came running in my direction.
I took a step forward and opened my hands in case she fell.
Then she came into my arms and hugged me.
"Speranza, were you sleeping with Kawaii ?"
Speranza rubbed her face in my arms and did something which I didn't know whether it was sleep talking or answering.
Fluttering silver hair and abundant tail.
The name “Speranza”, which means ‘Hope’ in Italian was given to the girl with pointed fox ears.
Other farm members also liked the name Speranza.
Speranza, who became a new member of the Farm family, gradually adapted to the farm.
The alertness she had on others except me gradually disappeared.
The first one she got close to was Lia.
She considered Speranza so cute and took care of her more than me.
Now, when I leave work or leave my seat, she takes care of her in my stead.
Next was Andras.
Even though she didn't spend much time together with Andras like Lia.
Instead, whenever he came, he attracted Speranza's attention with amazing toys or pretty clothes.
Lia was angry, saying it was a foul (?), but Andras smiled and passed it over.
Finally, Kaneff still maintained an awkward relationship.
Speranza was still afraid of Kaneff.
Maybe the use of chains to bind her when she first came to the Farm seems to have left an impact.
Kaneff himself said,
"I don't care what the fox kid thinks of me,”.
But it seemed to me that he felt lonely inside.
I am also trying in many ways to relieve the awkwardness between the two.
While adapting to the farm like that, Speranza's appearance changed a lot.
In the past, she was a little thin.
Now, she boasted her baby fat in her cheeks, which was so cute that I wanted to bite it.
Most of the anxiety and depression has disappeared.
Now she's not in the corner of the warehouse.
She found peace of mind enough to take a nap with Kawaii, in the middle of the Farm.
When Speranza was held in my arms, Kawaii also crept into my side.
Speranza placed her face on the left shoulder, while Kawaii on the right.
Lia looked at it with envy.
I smiled awkwardly and brought up another topic.
“Lia I want to go to Beast tribe Village today. Will it be okay?"
"Did you run out of Yakum food already?"
"No. Yakum food is not lacking yet, but I'm going to get some blue star mushrooms for Chorongi."
"Okay. I'll get ready to leave right after lunch."
“Thank you."
Lia left first to prepare for going out.
I need to get ready for lunch too…
"Buuuuu."
-wooooo.
"Oh my…"
I couldn't leave for a while because of Speranza and Kawaii, who fell asleep like baby angels in my shoulder.
⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩
The horses were brought from the stable, filled with equipment, and connected to the wagon.
The horses seemed to be in a good mood as if they were excited to go out after a long time.
When I finished preparing for departure with my luggage loaded, Speranza came closer to the carriage.
The way she looked at me seemed to ask, ‘Where are you going without me?'
Come to think of it, I didn't think about what to do with Speranza at all.
Lia is also coming to Beast tribe Village with me, so only Kaneff and Speranza remain on the farm.
Kaneff won't suddenly be mean to Speranza, but it was true that I was a bit anxious to leave only two of them.
I quickly cleared up my thoughts and hugged Speranza.
"Speranza, do you want to go out with me?"
She quickly nodded her head.
"Oh my, are you taking Speranza, too?"
"Yes. She has been in the farm for quite a while. Going out will also be a good change for her."
Answering the question I climbed into the carriage with Speranza.
⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩
I visited the Beast tribe village after a long time.
As soon as the wagon carrying us entered the entrance, many people's attention were drawn.
The atmosphere was not so bad that I could see some smiling while looking at the wagon and the eyes full of vigilance which was there when we first visited has completely disappeared.
Greg, the pig, and Heron, the deer found us and greeted us.
"How are you? Brother, sister!"
"How are you?"
"Uh… Yes. We are fine… How are you?""
After hunting gray wolves together, the two began to call me and Lia brother and sister.
Honestly, it was a little awkward and burdensome, but I didn’t correct them because there was no specific reason to refuse.
"We've been doing great. Who's the kid next to you?"
Greg asked about Speranza with his unique nasal voice.
"This is the kid I’m taking care for a while."
"Hahaha, I thought she was the daughter of brother and sister."
"No way! Sihyeon and I…….having children… "
Lia's hand shook with an unusual expression of embarrassment.
Her face turned red and she looked a little shy.
While resolving the misunderstanding about Speranza, another welcome face appeared splendidly.
" Candy Uncle!"
A sleek-moving cat girl jumped onto the wagon.
"It's been a while. Uncle ! Hi, Demon sister!"
A smile naturally stuck on our faces at the lively greeting of Miru.
"Huh? Who's next to you?"
"Is she Uncle and sister’s daughter?"
Everyone I met misunderstood the relationship between me and Speranza, and I felt very strange.
I'm a little happy, but I didn’t know how Speranza…would feel.
I was also worried Lia also get caught in this situation, because of me.
"No, it's the kid I am taking care for a while. Her name is Speranza."
"Speranza? That's a unique name."
With her curious eyes, she pushed her face close to Speranza.
"Hi! I'm Miru."
Speranza avoided eye contact, hiding behind my arm.
"Aha. Speranza is very shy. It's okay. We can get closer little by little."
By the end of Miru’s greeting, village children began to gather little by little.
"It's Candy Uncle!"
"The candy man is here!"
-Rush, rush.
At the cry of the candy Uncle, the children of the village quickly flocked around my carriage.
All the children looked up at me with anticipated eyes.
Whenever I visited the village, I gave out candy to Miru and some children, which made them call me “Candy Uncle" and got stuck with all the children in the village.
They were disappointed when they didn't receive the candy, so I prepared enough candy for all the children every time.
This time again, when I took out candy and snacks loaded in advance in the luggage compartment, the children's eyes were sparkling.
"Now! You know you have to line up in order, right? If you cut in line or forced him to give for more, you’ll be dragged right away."
Miru, who climbed on the wagon, naturally began to control the children.
The children, who were bigger, followed Miru’s charismatic words.
With the help of Lia, the prepared snacks and candies were distributed to the children one by one.
"Thank you for the food."
“Candy Uncle, I've been waiting for you."
“ Ceandy Ankel."
From children, who are in similar age to Miru to toddling babies came to the wage.
They smiled happily from receiving both candy and snacks.
Even if it was a common snack in Korea, it was a great happiness for the children here.
I spend a lot of money every time, but considering the children's happy smiles, I thought I would continue to play the role of a candy Uncle for the time being.
Maybe this is how Santa Claus felt.
"Here. You guys take it, too."
After giving candies to the children, I extended the remaining candies to Greg and Heron.
"Oh! No. We are fine.”
"You don't have to give us any."
Even though their mouths said that, they were standing behind the children and drooling.
“It's the left over after I gave it to the kids. Take one each."
"Hmm. Then…"
"You really don't have to give it to us."
Looking at the snacks and candies I gave them, the two held out their hands, while twitching corners of their mouths.
Bam
Bam
"Argh!"
"Argh!"
"I asked you to check your equipments. But both of you are playing around…huh?”
Reville, who suddenly appeared, hit the two's heads without mercy.
"Uh. Uncle Reville it hurts."
“We were not playing around. We met brother and sister so… “
"What does that matter? Hurry up and go check the equipment."
The two turned around and walked.
They glanced back and forth as if they had lingering lingering feelings about the snacks and candies that they couldn’t receive.
“Here ! Take this."
When I threw snacks and candy, the two moved their bodies as if they had been waiting.
"Hehe. Thank you brother."
“Thanks for the food brother.”
As soon as they received the snacks and candy, they quickly moved away with excitement.
"Whew. When are they going to grow up… Didn't you bring them to share with the children?"
"It's okay. They're the things that's left over after sharing them with the children."
“Do you want some Reville?"
"I'm good. Give my share to the old raccoon, who has been waiting for you guys for a while."
Reville's eyes, which rejected the candy, turned to my side.
"Who's that?" Is that your daughter?"
"………I'll explain it to you at the raccoon grandpa's store, whom I think will also be asking the same question”
