How to get Healed at Demon Farm
Chapter 294

Someone who hasn't given the gift yet?

Is there anyone left?

I tilted my head at Ryan's words and looked around.

Boss, Lia, Andras, Alfred, Ryan, Lilia…….

I checked the faces of the farm members one by one, but couldn't find anyone left.

While turning my head casually, I stopped at one point, looking at someone nearby.

There was a little fox girl hesitating with a flushed face.

"Speranza dear, did you prepare a gift for me?"

“……!”

Speranza, surprised by my question, raised her tail. She looked at me and Lia alternately as if telling she was not ready yet.

When Lia saw it, she approached Speranza with a warm smile.

"It's okay, Speranza. Hurry up and tell Sihyeon."

She pushed her back slightly, the back in which something that seemed to be a gift was held by Speranza’s two hands.

Speranza, who gained strength thanks to Lia, slowly approached me.

Speranza carefully approached me, bringing the gift to the front.

I was also nervous at the sight and swallowed my dry saliva over and over.

Before I knew it, Speranza, who arrived in front of me, stretched out her arms and held out a gift.

"Papa, this…….”

I accepted the gift as if my hands were covering the small hands. The gift was decorated with pretty ribbons in a small paper bag.

"Can I open it?"

NOD.

I slowly untied the ribbon and opened the flap of the paper bag. With a rustling sound, from the inside, a savory and sweet smell spread out.

I put my hand in and pulled out the content.

It was….

"Cookie?"

It was a cookie with chocolate chips in it.

However, the cookie's appearance felt somewhat awkward and sloppy. I quickly realized that it was not brought from a store.

"Speranza, did you make this yourself?"

"Un……"

Speranza's expression became sullen as she answered. I was startled and hurried on.

"I didn't ask because it was weird. It's because it's made so well."

"…really?"

"Really! Why would papa lie? It looks so delicious. Right?"

I gave the farm members a quick look.

"Gee, it's true. It looks so delicious."

"I’m so envious of you, Sihyeon."

"I want to try it, too."

Speranza's expression brightened up as everyone complimented the cookie. I asked about the cookie with a sigh of relief inside.

"Did you make all these cookies by yourself?"

Speranza shook her head and pointed to Lia when asked.

"I made it with Sister Lia."

"Huh? With Lia?"

“……?!”

“……?!”

When I heard that she made cookies with Lia, I asked awkwardly, while others looked at the cookies with a look of terror.

Seeing this, Lia frowned and said.

"Don't be worried, everyone. I just helped Speranza to prevent dangerous things from happening while she’s cooking alone."

“…….”

"Ugh…… It's true that I can't cook, but that doesn't mean I can't even handle cooking tools. Speranza can’t handle hot ovens, so I helped her a little bit.”

Lia claimed her innocence with an almost crying look on her face. The doubters either coughed or looked away with embarrassed expressions.

Obviously, not everyone lets go of their suspicions.

Kaneff, who suffered the most from Lia's cooking, did not let down his guard with an expression that said [I can't believe it yet!]

"Then I'll try it."

Leaving the slightly cluttered atmosphere behind, I took the cookie to my mouth. I took a big bite of the cookie with a crunching sound.

CRUNCH.

Surely the taste of the cookie was awkward. It was very sweet and the texture was a little harder, maybe because there was a lot of sugar.

But those details did not bother me. My satisfaction has already reached its peak when Speranza said she made this herself for me.

"Papa, is it good?"

Speranza raised her fox ears with a look of anticipation and concern. I smiled and hugged Speranza.

"It's so delicious, dear! I wish I could eat it every day!"

"Hehehehe! It tickles, Papa!"

The fox girl burst into laughter as I rubbed my face against hers.

"SIHYEON, can I try one?"

"Then I'll have one too…….”

I cut the cookies in half and handed them out to the farm members.

"Um, it's really good."

"Speranza, how can you make it so well on your first try?"

Everyone who tasted the cookies praised Speranza, saying it was delicious.

Pleased by everyone's reactions, I also smiled.

Kaneff, who remained vigilant until the end, accepted the cookie only after examining other people's reactions until the end. He nodded as he tasted the cookies.

"It seems true that Lia only helped from the side.” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ n0vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“…….”

Kaneff savored the taste of the cookies as he averted from Lia's cold gaze.

"SIHYEON".

"Yes, Ryan."

"Back there."

“……?”

Ryan pointed to the back of the paper containing the cookies. There was a birthday card written ‘Happy Birthday!' hanging from the end of the ribbon.

I untied the ribbon and opened the card.

Happy birthday, Papa!

I'm so happy that Papa is my papa. Thank you for always taking good care of me.

Speranza loves Papa the most in the world.

I stared blankly at the card and slowly lowered my head. Speranza, who was in my arms, smiled and looked at me.

“…….”

I turned my eyes away without saying a word and hugged Speranza tightly. If I saw that lovely smile anymore, I thought it would be hard to endure the emotional meltdown.

I never thought I would be emotionally this weak. I was someone who thought it was rather childish to feel emotional while watching a touching movie or drama.

But now, the emotions overflowed to the point where it was too much to handle. I never thought there would come a day when I would burst into tears seeing a letter with only a few sentences.

Indeed, only those who had experienced it in person would know this pride, joy, and emotion that was hard to express in words.

"Thank you so much for this gift, Sweetheart. Thanks to you, Papa is so happy now. I love you."

"Hehe, I love you, too, Papa.”

I hugged Speranza once again and shared my happy feelings.

As I was barely holding back the huge meltdown, Kaneff crept up to the side.

"Hey, are you crying?"

"Uh, I'm not."

"How’s that not crying? Your eyes are red."

"Mr. Kaneff! Why are you pouring cold water at such a touching moment?"

"What did I do?"

Lia, who took a lot of damage from Kaneff a while ago, suddenly intervened.

While the two quarreled, Ryan began to talk with a playful smile.

"Hahaha! I think I'm seeing various sides of Sihyeon that I have never seen today. Oh! Come to think of it, everyone. Do you know what happened earlier? On the way to the farm, Sihyeon was worrying seriously about…….”

I stopped Ryan from speaking with a freaked look.

"Ah! Ah! Ryan! Why are you bringing that up all of a sudden?"

"What's wrong with that? It's a story that will move everyone a lot when they hear it."

"It’s fine, so please…….”

I didn't know there was a surprise birthday party being prepared, I misunderstood it and worried about it. Now that I think about it, it was so funny that I wondered why I did that.

I tried to stop Ryan from speaking somehow, but it had already aroused the curiosity of others.

"Story that will move everyone…… I'm very curious.”

"What? Sihyeon, what happened?"

"I'm curious, so please tell me quickly."

"You know…….”

I put Speranza down and rushed to Ryan. He quickly escaped my attack and proceeded to talk.

Everyone burst into laughter at our ridiculous chase.

And the boisterous atmosphere of the farm continued until late at night.

"Lilia. Please take care of the cleaning of the barn in the morning. These days, Yakums move late in the morning, so you can start working accordingly. Oh! Don't forget to turn on the stove in the evening."

"Yes sir! Leave it to me.”

replied Lilia, making a playful salute.

"Andras, please pay attention to the strawberry field. I'm a little worried because it's everyone's first time running a greenhouse."

"Don't worry, Sihyeon. If I'm not busy, I'll stop by every time and check."

"Elaine, it's not hard to take care of Griffins anymore, right? I'm sure you're busy with other farm work, but take good care of Grify and Finny.”

"Okay, Senior."

After Andras and Alfred, I looked at Lia.

"I don't have much to say to you, Lia. Take care of everything while I'm gone. If you think of anything you need later, please feel free to contact me."

"Yes, Sihyeon."

Lia replied in a rather feeble voice. I smiled brightly and consoled her.

The last one left was… Kaneff.

Kaneff deliberately turned his eyes away and pretended not to know.

"Boss."

“…….”

"You know what I'm going to say, don't you?”

Kaneff asked back with an expression of disgust.

“Are you going to nag again while asking that question?”

"It's because Boss doesn't do his job. Every time… Every single time I come back from vacation, the reports to be sent to the Castle would have piled up like a mountain."

"Ah, I see. I'll do my best this time.”

"Really? I’ll call and check every day".

In response to my persistent questions, Kaneff raised his hands and expressed his intention to surrender. He had already experienced enough that he knew instinctively that rebelling would only increase nagging.

"And play games on your smartphone in moderation. Don't skip your meals and just play games because Speranza and I are not here."

"Oh! Now go away. Even my father wouldn't have nagged me this much."

I had a lot more to say, but I didn't want to talk because I thought I would be kicked out by Kaneff if I talked more.

‘Is there anything I missed?’

I stopped thinking right away while trying to remember the things that I missed.

Now that they can easily contact me even if I’m on Earth, I don't have to worry.

SQUEE SQUEE

Soon, Speranza with a pink bag approached me. Her tail was already wobbling with excitement and anticipation.

"Speranza, are you ready?"

"Un!"

"Okay, then let's get going."
