How to get Healed at Demon Farm

"So, you're going to help us hire mercenaries?" 

Reville asked back with a surprised face. 

Racoon grandpa next to him also watched with an interesting expression. 

"Well. I've received a lot of help from you guys, so I'd like to help you somehow." 

"Thank you, but…" 

Reville scratched his head with a complicated expression. 

On the other hand,  Raccoon grandpa responded positively. 

"First, take him to the chief. It's very sensible issue. We can’t decide anything by ourself."  

"Okay. Sihyeon, let's go to the village chief. Maybe he can talk in more detail."  

As Racoon grandpa suggested, we decided to meet the chief of Beast-people Village. 

“Speranza ?" 

When I tried to move, I couldn't see Speranza nearby. 

Looking around the store, Speranza was stuck next to Miru. 

"Look at this. Isn't it pretty?" 

Miru boasted a flower bracelet made of procrastinating flowers and stems. 

And she put the flower bracelet on Speranza's hand.  

"What do you think? Do you like it? I'm good at making things in the village. I'll give you this as a gift." 

Speranza's eyes twinkled, her tail kept shaking as if she liked the flower bracelet.  

They only met twice, but Speranza seemed to be closer than she is with Kaneff.  

“Leave the Erul girl behind. Miru and I will take care of her until you're done." 

"Really?" 

“You're going to help the village, so I have to do this much."  

As Racoon grandpa suggested, Speranza decided to stay here for a while.  

Speranza didn't even care about me going out because all her attention were taken away by the flower bracelet.  

Following Reville's guidance, me and Lia stepped out of the store.  

⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩

It's a landscape of the village that I've already seen several times, but it seemed that there was a strange tension flowing today.  

Reville's steps stopped in front of an ordinary-looking house. 

-Knock knock knock. 

"Lagos! It's me." 

The door opened immediately as Reville called the leader. 

It was a Beast-man who looked like a deer. 

"Reville? What's going on at this hour?" 

“We’re here to talk to you about hiring mercenaries."  

“We’ve already talked enough about thi….…. Oh, my. You had a guest." 

"I'm sure you might heard about them. This is Sihyeon and this is Lia." 

"Hello." 

"……" 

At the same time as I greeted, Lia too politely bowed her head.  

He seemed confused for a while by the unscheduled sudden visit, but quickly recovered his expression and showed a natural appearance. 

"Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot of rumors. I'm Lagos, the chief of Elden Village."  

The name of this village was Elden. 

It was the first time I have heard of it.  

And I thought there would be a kind grandfather with a long beard as a village chief, but interestingly he was a much younger chief than I thought.  

"I heard that my son had caused trouble before. I should have apologized first. I'm really sorry." 

"……?" 

"Heron is the son of Lagos." 

"Oh…" 

I didn't recognize it because the impression and atmosphere were completely different, but after knowing the relationship between the two, I began to see similarities one by one. 

"Come in for now." 

I entered the house under Lagos' guidance. 

The interior looked no different from an ordinary family house. 

What was unique was the documents piled up on one table and thick books. 

“Everything is scattered at home because I'm busy with work these days." 

"It's okay. It's our fault for coming out of the blue." 

"Wait a moment. I’ll bring something to drink….”

“No….I think the story will be long, so just sit down. You guys don't mind, do you?"   

We nodded at Reville's words. 

Lagos also sat down again after trying to stand up awkwardly.  

When Lagos heard that we would like to help them hire mercenaries, he responded skeptically. 

"I understand that you guys want to help us, but I don't think it's going to be easy." 

"Why? We're not Beast-people, so there's no reason for mercenaries to refuse, right?" 

"Maybe they'll accept the request formally. But if they check the request, no one will want to apply."  

As he continued to be skeptical, Lia, who had been staying still, opened her mouth.  

"Maybe they can't ignore it easily. Sihyeon is qualified for that." 

"That means… Do you have the status of a noble?"" 

"What? You were a nobleman?" 

"well… Hmm… you can say it like that?"  

Despite my ambiguous answer, Reville burst into a small exclamation, while  Lagos murmured with a serious look.  

"I see. Then there might really be a way. No matter what kind of mercenary they are, they won't ignore the nobility openly." 

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" 

You might get caught up in bad rumors because of them. 

When he was worried, I answered lightly. 

"It doesn't matter because it's something I think I'm proud of myself. If someone tries to create bad rumors, it doesn't matter since they're not worth dealing with in the first place." 

“Hahaha! Sihyeon…. You really are a unique person." 

Reville laughed loudly and tapped me on the shoulder. 

He was so excited that my whole body stumbled. 

"What do you think Lagos? Isn't this reliable enough?"  

"Yeah.."  

Lagos briefly exchanged eyes with Reville and opened his mouth staring straight at me. 

"I understand what Sihyeon means. And I won't forget this grace you have shown us today."  

“ Wait…Wait….You don't have to bow like that. I've received a lot of help in this village, too. We have to help each other when we're in need."  

"That's a good thing to say. Will you wait for a moment? We'll be ready to start right away." 

As soon as Lagos was ready, we immediately went to a city with a mercenary guild.  

We decided to use the wagon we brought from the farm.  

I was worried that Speranza would beg to follow me, but I was able to relieve my worries because she got close to Miru much faster than I thought. 

⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩

Three hours by carriage from Elden Village. 

We were able to arrive in a city surrounded by large walls. 

"Stop!" 

The soldiers guarding the gate blocked our way. 

Among them, a person who appeared to be a senior soldier approached. 

“You again. Aren’t you from Elden Village ?" 

“Yes. We have some business with the mercenary guild, so we visited again.” 

Lagos approached the senior soldier and handed something over.  

A slight jingle sound was heard, as if he had handed over  money.  

The senior soldier stared for a moment as if he didn't like the amount, but soon turned his head away.

”Tsk. Pass. Open the way!" 

"Yes!" 

"Thank you." 

The stopped wagon began to move slowly towards the gate again.  

As we became distant from the soldiers, I spoke to Lagos.  

“Do you come in like this every time?" 

“Yes. It's not necessarily like that. But if we don't do it like that, they often bother us with with some excuse…" 

"Hmm. I see." 

"From Sihyeon's point of view, it may have been unpleasant.Sorry, We didn't think much about it." 

"No. No. I just thought it was weird, not unpleasant." 

"Pfft! There's nothing weird about it. Everyone knows that we are not welcomed in this city." 

At the end of Reville's complaint, silence lingered in the wagon for a while. 

In a little awkward atmosphere, my eyes naturally headed to the streets of the city.  

The city named "Kaldinium" was incomparably larger than Elden Village. 

If Elden Village had a cute feeling similar fairy tales, the Kaldinium seemed to be like watching a large movie set.  

Ordinary horse-riding residents passing through the streets, merchants who engage in noisy solicitation, and children running in groups. 

Certainly, I felt the vitality of the city.  

But little by little, I began to see things beyond that.  

Beast-people, who occupied the dirty-looking back alley, and even babies begging in the gap.  

Certainly, Beast-people did not seem to be welcomed within this city.  

When I couldn't take my eyes off the back alley, I heard the murmur of Reville. 

"If we can't solve the problem of Elden Village, it will be hard for us to escape from the same situation as them." 

"We're almost there. The building you see in front of you is the mercenary guild." 

A large two-story building was seen in the direction Lagos pointed. 

Around the building, Demons who appeared to be mercenaries went back and forth with hideous weapons.  

Our horse and carriage were stopped next to the building, and we entered the entrance of the mercenary guild.  

The first feeling of the mercenary guild was like watching a bar in the middle of the night.  

In a noisy atmosphere, sometimes a loud laughter bursted out.  

In the corner, there were also people who spent their time burning tobacco or having serious conversations.  

Even though the sun was still overhead, mercenaries who were already drinking were also noticeable.  

First, we followed Lagos and headed inside.  

A female employee was seen organizing her nails in the place seen as a reception desk.  

She glanced at us and said, in an attitude as if not being interested. 

“What are you here for?" 

"I'm here to entrust you with a request." 

"Hah… I've told you before. We don't accept requests from you people."  

"This time, this person will." 

The guild receptionist's gaze briefly turned towards me. 

She looked at me with a look, ‘What should I do with this?' 

At that time… 

“ Hey you smelly Furry guys. Why are you bothering our cute receptionist?"  

A man approached us as if he was willing to pick a fight. 

With his torn eyes and pointed jaws, he even reeked of alcohol.  

"Hey, Revilli! You came again shamelessly."  

"Dejan, if you're drunk, stay quietly in the corner."  

"I can't do that. The rotten beasts has entered the city, How can a responsible citizen like me stay still?" 

Hahahaha! – As expected, our responsible citizen Dejan. Your muzzle is the best!  

Hey, Dejan! If you kick those beastlings out within five minutes, I'll pay for the drink today.  

When a big laugh broke out among the mercenaries, the man called Dejan became more confident. 

"Didn't I say this before? If you're a dirty beast, you have to act like a beast and stay in the forest. Why are you trying to act like a us noble Demons?" 

“Hey you!" 

"Reville…" 

When he was openly insulted, the anger filled in Reville's eyes.  

Lagos hurriedly grabbed his shoulder and dragged him back. 

And he gave him a look that he shouldn't make a problem.  

Reville also shook his fist because he knew that.  

In the meantime, I took a step forward.  

“What you are doing is wrong. Stop being rude.” 

“Hah…What the……Who the f*ck are you?" 

“ Mind your words. We’re here to entrust a request to the guild." 

According to Lagos, in principle,  Mercenaries can be hired.  

It wasn't our fault to be here. 

"Who do you think you are to say I’m wrong.”? 

When Dejan put his hand on the weapon handle of the waist dance, Lia, who was behind me, quickly stepped forward.  

She changed her right hand and began to exude pressure. 

Then the atmosphere of the mercenaries who were watching also became ugly. 

"What are those guys?" 

“ Did the furry guys came here for a fight.?" 

“Those lunatic beasts are out of their minds. We need to show them where they belong to today." 

The moment the atmosphere is about to overheat, Lia peeked back and said. 

"Sihyeon. Please take it out." 

"Okay." 

I took out my plaque in front of many people for the first time and showed it. 

Honestly, while I was showing it, I wondered if the aggressive mercenaries would change just because I showed some kind of identification card.  

However, the reactions of the mercenaries who saw the identification cards were more surprising than expected. 

"That's……?!" 

"That's the Demon Lords pattern." 

“Who’s that guy?!" 

The mercenaries, who were gaining momentum, quickly fell into chaos. 

Avoiding my eyes was the first thing everyone did, and there were countless people who hurriedly hid their weapons. 

It wasn't just the mercenaries who were surprised. 

Lagos and Reville also opened their mouths and constantly alternated between me and my ID trinklet.  

Dejan, who first quarreled, shouted as if he had a seizure. 

"You idiots. That can't be real." 

"……" 

"It makes sense. How can the one who was recognized by the Demon Lord, goes around with those uncivilized  brutes". 

“ That’s right"  

Dejan's incitement led the mercenaries to agitate again. 

“It makes sense. First of all It's strange that such an esteemed person would suddenly appears in a place like this." 

“ Hey you f*cker? Are you trying to cheat us? That too using our great Demon Lords’ symbol.” 

And gradually, everyone felt like I was a scammer. 

Dejan gained momentum again. 

"Look at him without proper horns, he isn’t a demon in the first place. If you wanted cheat, you should have done it properly. Hahahah…Piece of jerks.”

“ Like the excretas over there, you who doesn’t even have a horn is a shame. You too like those guys has no right to live in our noble society. Get out.” 

“Get out Get out Get out”

“Get out Get out Get out”

“ Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out”

Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out

I really didn't want to use it. 

But I had no choice.

I pulled the chain on the ID trinket. 

-Cling! -Clang clang! 

Numerous chains spread around the identification plaque. 

They embroidered the air as if they were alive and created a pattern. 

It was the pattern of the Demon Lord. 

And a tremendous sense of pressure began to erupt around the pattern. 

Everyone in the building couldn't bear the weight and began to struggle.  

Dejan, who was in high spirits, also looked like he was about to die.  

It would have been okay up to here, but the boss I knew was never a person to stop with just that. 

As the chain that created the pattern vibrated finely, the energy spread in all directions was collected again. 

And after a while,  Like thunder, a tremendous voice exploded around the pattern. 

"Hey M*ther F*cker Guild Master COME OUT THIS MOMENT."

Everyone except for me and Lia fell into a panic state.
