How to get Healed at Demon Farm

Chapter 67



Breakfast time on the farm. 

Each plate was topped with warm heated bread, fresh salad, scrambled eggs and baked bacon. 

And next to it was fresh milk and strawberry jam, which is the most popular on farms these days! 

"Dad, I want a sanwich!" 

"Do you want a sandwich?" 

"Un." 

"Okay. I'll make one for my little girl." 

I gently cut the bread in half and spread strawberry jam inside. 

Then add salad, scrambled eggs, and bacon little by little, and divide them into 4 pieces to make it easier for Speranza to eat. 

"Ta-da! Speranza's favorite mini sandwich is done!" 

"Hehe, thank you Papa."" 

Speranza took a small piece of sandwich and smiled. 

"Sihyeon, I got a reply that the strawberry jam I sent to my family last time arrived safely." 

"Really?" 

"Yes, my father and mother who tasted the strawberry jam said they liked it a lot. They also asked me say thank you to Sihyeon." 

"It's great that they like it. Next time when I make strawberry jam, I'll give it to you again." 

I felt proud from the morning when I heard the favorable reviews of strawberry jam from Andras. 

"Lia, is there any place you want to send strawberry jam to? Alfred, would you like to send it to your family?" 

"I'm fine, Sihyeon. My hometown is quite far away, so it's not easy to send things." 

"I'm fine too Senior. I wasn't in a good terms with my family when I left.” 

I nodded slightly disappointed at their answers. 

"Hey, why should we send it others. We had a hard time making it, so we should just enjoy it by ourself. Yum!" 

Kaneff burst into the conversation, eating strawberry jam. 

I stared at him with narrowed eyes. 

"Boss didn't help us make strawberry jam." 

"Why didn't I help? While you guys were sweating outside, I was working hard on the farm here, too." 

"Oh, sleeping in the farm doesn’t count as work… Ah! Boss stop taking the whole jam out. Mould will form if you do like that.” 

"Can't we just eat it all before mould forms? Yum!" 

Kaneff took a big spoonful of strawberry jam with ridiculous force. 

He liked strawberry jam the most among the farm members, and the appearance reminded me of a bear scooping honey. 

He was the only one who made me angry while eating the strawberry jam deliciously. 

"You must never be as greedy as Boss, do you understand Speranzal. You have to be moderate in everything. Okay?" 

“Un”. 

At my advice, Speranza opened her eyes and nodded. 

In the middle of such a routine breakfast.

-Grrrrrrr 

A heavy vibration came from outside the building. 

Naturally, the people in the dining room stopped moving. 

Kaneff was the first to be frowned upon as if he had noticed something. 

"Mr. Kaneff?" 

"Hmm! The troublesome guys seems to be here." 

"Who's here?" 

"You know him. I'll stay here. He seem to have come to see you anyway." 

Kaneff waved his hand at us in annoyance. 

Except for Kaneff, the rest stopped eating and headed outside the building. 

Outside the building, armed knights, soldiers, and the Demon Lord's insignia hung from a large flagpole. 

And a middle-aged Demon with a familiar face was waiting for us. 

As soon as the middle-aged Demon found me, he approached me with a slight smile. 

"Oh?" 

"It's been a long time Mr. Ester. Have you been well?" 

"Ah… Yes, I've been well. But what’s with the sudden visit.? 

“It’s the usual….” 

He slightly winked at the Demon Lord's seal. 

This time also, he seemed to have come as a messenger to convey the will of the Demon Lord. 

The middle-aged Demon also briefly greeted Andras and Alfred, who appeared later. 

"Hmm, all the people have came out…., right?" 

"No, Boss… No, Mr. Kaneff hasn't come out yet. Do you want me to bring him?" 

"Oh, no, no. He don't have to come out. I think it's enough as it is." 

" Yes," 

The middle-aged Demon got startled at the suggestion of  bringing Kaneff. 

It was a very natural reaction to think of the mess that Kaneff made last time. 

“Mr. Ester, I understand that you are not well dressed since we have come without prior notice. Instead, can you wear the symbol of Ester that the Demon Lord gave you?" 

“O.., okay." 

As I was about to run into the building in a hurry, I stopped. 

“ Lia, did you know where did I put it last time?" 

"Wait a minute, I'll look for it with you." 

"… After a while, I reappeared with the Ester ornament on my left chest." 

When the preparations were complete, the middle-aged Demon unfolded a scroll. 

He read it out in a solemn posture and voice. 

"It's a message from the Demon Lord, the owner of the throne that will never melt, the guardian of the strict law, and the ruler of the Arakadan," 

At his voice, the farm members knelt down. 

This time, I did not hesitate to express my respect. 

"Uh-huh." 

I heard Speranza's flapping behind my back for a while, but it quickly subsided and became quiet. 

"Lim Sihyeon, who came here from the other world and received the position of Ester, please step forward.”

I lowered my posture and went before him and knelt again. 

As last time, a story full of colorful rhetoric continued. 

By the time Speranza whined slightly behind my back, an important point began. 

"You stabilized the Yakum farm, which everyone thought was difficult, received the first Hap in the history of the Demon world, and recently achieved the success of growing a crop called strawberry." 

None of the things mentioned by the middle-aged Demon was easy. 

I don't think I did a great job myself, but I poured out my sincerity and effort. 

“You are the first person from the other world to be awarded the position of Ester, but I thought it was a reward that was insufficient compared to the achievements you made. Therefore, in the name of the Demon Lord, I have decided to give a reward worthy of your achievement Ester Lim Sihyeon." 

As last time, a knight held out a splendid box toward me. 

I slowly looked up and opened the box. 

It contained a seal carved from a luxurious material. 

I carefully took the seal. 

Thanks to studying hard with Andras, I was able to read the letters engraved on the seal, albeit awkwardly. 

“In the name of the Demon Lord, I give Lim Sihyeon the title of ‘Cardis’ which symbolizes abundance and fertility." 

"… Suddenly abundance and fertility?" 

Don't people usually call women like that? 

Hmm… Is that just my prejudice? 

I was confused when I heard the new title. 

The middle-aged Demon continued to read the contents of the scroll regardless of my reaction. 

"I'd like to give you a new mandate along with the title. I grant you the right to trade the Demon stones produced at Demon Lord castle, and at the same time recognize 1% of the annual production as yours." 

Demon stones? Trade Authority 

As my head became more complicated with the words I heard for the first time, Andras and Alfred's suppressed response popped out from behind. 

"Oh… Sihyeon…" 

“You got the ownership of Demon stones…Senior" 

From their reaction, the reward didn't seem to be bad. 

"Lastly, the Demon Lord has said that he is very satisfied with your performance and he will continue to look forward to your future endeavours." 

"I will do my best to meet the expectations." 

"That's from the Demon Lord. Thank you for listening." 

The middle-aged Demon helped me stand up by extending his hands. 

And he smiled faintly and congratulated me. 

"Congratulations again on your great reward. I'm really jealous that the Demon Lord has high expectations for you." 

"I'm worried that I'm getting too much expectation." 

"Hahaha! Even Demon Lord castle is rumored to be strict in appreciation, and it's rude if you're too humble."

He smiled broadly and tapped me on the shoulder. 

"I have finished all my work as a messenger. I’ll take my leave." 

"Are you leaving already?" 

"I can't take my time since I'm still on duty." 

"Please wait a minute." 

I rushed to the farmhouse. I quickly brought some bottles of strawberry jam from the kitchen and came back. 

"It's strawberry jam made from strawberries harvested this time. Take some and taste it." 

"Ho, that's the rumored strawberry jam. Is it all right for me to take this?" 

The middle-aged Demon twitched his cheeks as if he was in a good mood. 

The moment he tried to accept strawberry… 

– Bam 

The window of the farm building opened with loud noise and Kaneff shouted from their. 

"Hey! Why are you giving strawberry jam to those guys?" 

The middle-aged Demon flinched and took away his hands from the strawberry jam. 

"Oh, really. Boss! Why are you doing this to the guest who came to the farm?" 

"What guest. He’s just a black-hearted thief to me." 

"Are you really going to do this?" 

“ Hey Mother f*cker….Don’t you dare touch my strawberry jam. I'll chase you all the way to castle, and I'll make you throw up everything." 

The cries of Kaneff's curse made not only the middle-aged Demon but also the knight and the soldiers pale. 

"Ester Lim Sihyeon, can I really take this?" 

The first time he asked the question, it seemed to be out of courtesy, but now it seems to be filled with fear and sincerity. 

"It's all right. Take it. I'll manage the boss." 

"Thank you, Ester Lim Sihyeon. I won't forget this favor." 

The middle-aged Demon took the strawberry jam with a short bow.

Then he left the farm with his knights and soldiers as if he were running away. 

“YOU F*ckers. Wait for me. I'm really going to come all the way to Demon Lord castle.”

The farm members showed various expressions looking at Kaneff, who was grumpy until the end. 

Alfred showed a disappointed look at the figure of his once-idolated existence, while Andras shook his head. 

Before I knew, Lia was covering both ears of Speranza and protecting her pure innocence. 

“Hey Andras. Why is the boss so mean when the messengers come? Didn’t you say the Boss worked at Demon Lord castle. Was he treated unfairly.?” 

Looking at Andras' econfused expression, it seemed that there was a story that was difficult to explain. 

Andras put on a bright look again and brought up another topic. 

"More than that, Congratulations. You got a new title, and on top of that, the right to trade Demon stones.” 

"Senior, congratulations." 

"Congratulations, Sihyeon." 

The farm members congratulated me one after another. 

"Papa, congratulations!" 

Speranza smiled and congratulated me without knowing what’s going on. 

Still, I was so proud of her heart that I lifted Speranza up. 

"Oh! Thank you, Speranza darling." 

"Hehehe!" 

I moved my arms until the laughter subsided to give her a ride in the air and held Speranza in my arms. 

While hugging Speranza, I asked Andras what I was curious about. 

“By the way everyone, what’s the meaning of the title? Is it like being appointed like Ester?" 

"It's a little different." 

“If Ester is an influential honorary position, this title can be seen as an appointment of a quasi-noble." 

I asked back with a tilted head.

“Didn't the title Ester meant that I will be treated like a noble?" 

"That's just a formality, not really a noble. However, the title given now is something close to the real aristocracy. If you really get a title in the future, the title you receive will be the creation of new noble family — Sihyeon’s family and the name will be given along with a territory." 

"Oh… then I'll be a real aristocrat." 

Of course, I never wanted to become an aristocrat since I lived in a modern society without a status system, but I was a little excited to hear that I could really become an aristocrat. 

"Sihyeon, in fact, there's something more important than that." 

"…?" 

"You got the right to deal with the Demon stones, didn't you?" 

"Excuse me Andras… I don't really know what it is. Is it amazing?" 

In response to my lukewarm response, Andras floundered greatly and expressed frustration. 

Alfred also had an expression of, ‘How can you not know of that?’
