How to get Healed at Demon Farm

Me and Lia were walking along the fence.

There is an awkward silence between the two of us.  

At lunch, she lost her cooking job to me, and she's been depressed ever since. 

Of course, I can't say it was my fault, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

To change this awkward atmosphere, I mustered my courage to try having a conversation.

“Isn't the fence much wider than I thought?”

"Yes." 

“It would be difficult to see everything on foot.”

"Yes."

She only responds with very short answers, and sometimes she doesn’t even respond to my conversations.  

what to do…? 

While looking for a way out of this frustrating situation, I remembered something and rummaged through my pockets.

With a rustling sound from my pocket, a candy bag appeared. 

I took one of the candy and handed it to her.

"Lia. Would you like to try one?" 

"What is this?" 

"I brought it from the world I lived, it's called fruity candy."

The sweet scent of fruit spreads out when the plastic of the candy is peeled off. 

As I handed her candy, she held it to the tip of her nose and felt the pleasant scent.

Hesitatingly she looked at me, then she carefully took the candy to her mouth.

“Uh?” 

As if surprised by the sweet and sour taste that filled her mouth, she widened her eyes and covered her mouth.  

Then she began to savour the candy in earnest, munching her cheeks intently.

"how is it?" 

“The scent lingers in my mouth as if I ate a real fruit. I don't think I've ever eaten something so sweet."

“Can I have more?”

I nodded my head. 

Lia seemed to like the candy very much, so she took the candy I gave her and ate it.

The more gentle the expression on her face, I was able to relieve the burden in my heart. 

“Are you relieved now?”

Startle!

"I've never been angry. I just felt a little sad." 

Lia put on a fresh expression on her face because she felt embarrassed. 

"I'm happy then. I was worried that you might get angry. I'm a little sorry because it seems like I stole Lia's job."

“…are you really sorry?” 

“Of course." 

“Well…” 

Lia came up to me and whispered something, and a sweet fruity scent flowed from her mouth, perhaps because of the candy.

Hearing the whisper, I couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

“Foo. Fu…hahahaha!”  

"Why, why are you laughing?!" 

"I'm sorry. sorry." 

She whispered in my ear, 

‘Never give candy to Mr.Kaneff’

It was really hard to hold back my laughter when I saw Lia's cute revenge. 

“Stop laughing. Otherwise, I will be mad again!”

"You said you weren't angry earlier." 

“Ugh……!! Anyway, stop laughing!" 

It is interesting to see Lia's bewildered appearance, and it seemed to have reduced the sense of distance, so the smile did not leave my lips. 

The sound of my laughter continued to spread through the fenced meadow, as Lia's face did not fade for a while.

When my laughter subsided. 

A cry could be heard from afar beyond the fence.

Boo woo woo woo! 

"Huh! What is this sound?"  

"It's the cry of  a Yakum. It's close."

As she said, a yakum appeared from beyond the meadow hill.

With the approaching look, I was intuitively convinced that this was the guy I had seen before. 

I walked over to the nearby fence and shouted at him.

" Hey…How are you? It's been a long time! " 

Boo-woo.  

It felt the cry is like answering the question.

"How are you?" 

Boo, boo.

I didn't know it at that time, but now I'm convinced that the awakening was thanks to this Yakum. 

Because of that, I felt more sympathetic and happy.  

Lia's voice came from behind me. 

She stood far away from Yakum, with a look of admiration.

“It’s amazing.” 

"What?" 

"I think it's the first time I've seen Yakum come in close contact like this. They're so vigilant. It's been several months since I've been here, but I've never seen a Yakum come so close."

"Is that so? This guy seems to be quite attached. I think it's a little cute." 

At my words, Lia made a very strange expression.

“Probably the only person in the demon realm who expresses Yakum like that is Sihyeon. Most of the demons find it difficult to even go near  a Yakum.”

“Hmm.” 

“According to records, an angry group of Yakum destroyed half of a city. A lot of demons were mobilized and the group was barely sent back.”

"Ugh. Really?” 

I looked at the eyes of Yakum whom I stroking in surprise. 

" Are you really that terrifying?" 

Boo woo? 

Yakum’s cry is like ‘What…really.?’  

No matter how I looked at it, all I saw is a big cutie. 

“According to Mr.Ryan’s words, Mr.Sihyeon might really achieve the goal.”

– The milking of Yakum.

However, if Lia's words were true, this will be a really difficult goal. 

There are also dangerous cases when milking cows. What if an accident happens while milking the Yakum, which can easily destroy a city? 

I really didn't want to even imagine. Even if I look like a gentleman who treats them kindly now, I did not know how it would change if I showed behaviour that crossed the line. 

Let's not rush. 

It's just the beginning. 

And I also have the special abilities. 

I tried to make up my mind not to be impatient.

As I had used my powers in the stable in the morning, I revived my senses of that time and held out to Yakum.

[ Trying to communicate.]

[The subject has a ‘Liking' towards you.]

[Subject enjoys meeting you.]

Yakum had already reached the ‘Like' grade in intimacy, and is delighted to meet me. 

I concentrated my mind to find some more clues.

[The target wants …….]

What is this? 

An inaccurate message…. that’s embarrassing. 

I tried a little more on using my abilities.

And then, an unknown scene flashed past my eyes instantly.

In the scene that came to mind, something unknown is engraved in my mind like a stigma.

Boo woo woo woo!! 

Another Yakum's cries from afar. 

Because of that sound, my communication skills were interrupted.

There were several yakum in a herd where the cry is heard. The largest of them is glaring at me.

Boo woo. Boo woo. 

Yakum, who is with me, wept as if to say good-bye to me. 

Then it turned its head and headed towards the crowd.

After Yakum returned to the group, I closed my eyes and thought.  

I contemplated the scenes that remained in my mind and organized my thoughts. 

“Sihyeon?”

"Wait. Lia." 

I took out the notepad I had brought earlier. 

I awkwardly transferred what is in my head to a picture on a blank piece of paper.

Although it is hard to move my hand exactly due to my poor drawing skills, the outline form is clearly expressed.

"Lia. Have you ever seen a plant like this?"

"Yes? Wait. uhm.” 

" This part is purple, the rest is green. "

“I think I saw it somewhere, but I can’t remember.” 

" Is there any way to find out? Maybe Mr. Kaneff knows?" 

“He is also mostly in the farm building so probably he too does’t know much about the area around here.”

"HAh…" 

I couldn't continue speaking with regret.

Seeing me in disappointment, Lia pondered for a moment, then opened her mouth with a cautious attitude.

"I'm not sure, but I know where there are people who might know about the plants in the pictures."

"Really? Where is it?" 

Lia stopped her speech and looked up at the sky for a moment.

“Going there will  take plenty of time. We have to walk for about an hour, are you okay?"

" That is fine with me. "

“Okay. Then follow me.”

Lia led me down the mountain from the hillside where the farm is.

When the cool feeling gradually changed to a cozy one, a small village appeared in front of me. 

The charming village atmosphere made me feel like I am on a movie set.

While admiring the surroundings, an even more surprising thing unfolded before my eyes.

“I got it! Now you are out.” 

“Hey hahaha. Catch me!" 

"There!" 

Dogs, cats, rabbits, and children who resembled like various animals were running and playing at the entrance of the village.

"Huh?" 

One of the children running around found me and Lia. 

The boy who is watching us shouted in surprise.

“It’s a demon!” 

"Demons, demons!" 

“I have to tell Mom and Dad quickly.”

The children ran into the village in an instant. 

It is like they saw a monster.

"Come Mr.Sihyeon.” 

"Ah yes."

Lia seemed to be okay with this reaction, so she moved back to her usual form.

As we entered the village, cold eyes poured out from all directions.

The villagers looked at us and gave us uncomfortable glances.

No matter how you look at it, there is an atmosphere that absolutely did not welcome us.

“Abba. Abababu.”

A Toddler Baby Rabbit came up to me. 

The droopy rabbit ears and bright eyes were so cute.

The baby tilted his head with a curious expression.

" Oh. so cute. baby Would you like to eat this?"

“Wooo?”

I ripped a candy out of my pocket and handed it to the baby.

Perhaps because of the bright colour of the candy, the baby quickly showed interest. 

The moment the baby's little hand is about to grab the candy.

“Ahhh..! No..!” 

A rabbit woman suddenly appeared and embraced the baby. 

It is as if I had been blocked from doing anything bad to the baby. 

A sharp, sharp scream made the atmosphere of the village more ferocious.

" I… I didn't mean to threaten the baby… "

I tried making excuses out of a bit of regret, but the rabbit woman didn't listen at all, and she ran away as she embraced the baby. 

I couldn't help but stare at it in vain. 

I regretted that I thought I had moved too hastily for nothing in a highly vigilant village. 

" Lia. I…am sorry. Because of me the atmosphere has become very strange. " 

“ It’s Fine. After all, it’s not because of Mr.Sihyeon.”

" Then why the… "

“Hey! You two guys over there! What are you doing in someone else's village?" 

Before my question is finished, two guards blocked our way.

One is in the form of a pig and the other is in the form of a deer. 

The one in the shape of a pig threatened Lia with his characteristic nose. 

“Looking at it, Isn’t it a demon?"

“……”

"Wow! Look at this. You guys never wanted to mingle with us, then why are you here?” 

I stepped forward to prevent the increasingly hostile atmosphere 

"You two! Calm down, we're not here to fight…” 

"What is this bastard. I don't think this guy is a demon?"

“Can’t you see? He must be a man who acts like an asshole.”

“We came here to ask for help. I'm looking for a plant that looks like this here…" 

While speaking, I was drawn to the force from behind me and leaned over.

At the same time, a flash of light flashed in front of my eyes, and the blade flew past. 

When I came to his senses, I found a dagger in the pig's hand.

If Lia hadn't dragged me, it would have left a scar on my face.

A feeling of chill passed in my heart. 

And I raised my voice at the anger that came up late.

" What…. is this….you are doing…! "

“Hahaha……Did you just see that guy’s face?” 

“I saw it. Hehehe. His face turned white in surprise.”

I was completely fed up with the behaviour of the two beasts who did not communicate. 

Lia stepped out in front of me.

“You step back. Sihyeon.” 

" Lia. Let us just go back They are completely…… "

“It’s okay. I expected all of this.”

In response to Lia's actions this time, the deer beast also took out a dagger from his arms. 

“You….The demon there. Why don’t you just go back like what the coward next to you said?”

" Even now, if you beg for you mistake, I'll send you back nicely. Otherwise, you will have to experience the pain of being ripped by this dagger.” 

Lia's expression gradually changed at the harsh threat. 

With a cold and hard feeling I've never seen before, 

She took off her maid glove on her right hand. 

Her slender right hand, which exposed her bare skin, began to change with a strange sound.

vroooo.…vroom 

Her right hand, which is getting thicker, had sharp claws sprouting out, and it is covered with red scales in an instant.

"Uh… huh?!" 

“wha… What is this?”

Did the two beasts instinctively feel something strange?

Looking at Lia with her swaying eyes, she took a step backwards.  

A destructive energy that stretched out as if suffocating them from the right hand. 

It looked like it would devour the beasts in front of her right away. 

A growling, bloody voice came out of Lia's mouth.

“Really… can you tell me how you are going to rip me…?”

“Uh-huh!” 

“Hey!”

Is this Lia… 

The faces of the two beasts changed to contemplation due to Lia's force.
