I checked the condition of Chorongi and the babies until dawn in the barn.
Chorongi, who overca the difficult birth, and the babies who finished their first eting with the world looked healthy.
Speranza, who tried to stay awake rubbing her sleepy eyes, finally fell asleep covered in my coat.
I carefully hugged Speranza so that she wouldn't wake up and stepped outside the barn.
The cool air of dim dawn felt pleasant.
Speranza in my arms slightly trembled in the cold air and dug into my arms.
"Papa It's cold."
A smile slowly ford in my mouth seeing the cute fox girl mumbling in her sleep.
You worked hard, Speranza.
I'll take you to bed soon.
I headed toward the farm building to avoid the still sleeping yakums.
"Are you coming out now?"
"Huh? Boss?"
Kaneff called while sitting in the camping chair.
Beer cans were piled up around the chair as if he had been drinking all night.
I asked with a slight frown.
"Did you drink this much all night?"
"I know. I drank it like this because I wanted the birth to end safely."
Kaneff smiled and said deftly.
I laughed at his overly confident attitude.
Although he answered in a playful manner, I knew very well that he guarded this place all night.
"If you're done, let's go in. Maybe because I'm old now, it's not easy to endure the morning dew. Wake those guys up there."
At the place where Kaneff pointed, Lia, Andras, and Alfred could be seen sleeping.
On either side of Andras were Lia and Alfred covered in blankets.
" Andras! Lia! Elaine! Don't sleep here, go in and sleep now."
"Ummm Sihyeon? Umm Are you done?"
asked Andras, who was the first to wake up.
Looking at their haggard appearance, I understood that they were waiting for for a long ti.
"You should have gone ho and slept comfortably. Why were you sleeping here?"
"Sihyeon is working hard all night. There's nothing we can do to help that's why we kept waiting here."
Andras grinned awkwardly and scratched his head.
Even though he said it as if he had done sothing useless, I felt the sincerity of the three who thought of , and my heart was filled with gratitude.
"It's all over now, so get up. All three of you are going to catch a cold at this rate."
"I see. Well, maybe it's been a while since I slept on the floor, so every inch of my body is numb."
Andras moved a little bit at my word.
Then Alfred woke up from his sleep.
"Elaine, wake up."
UmSenior. Is everything fine?"
"Yeah, fine, fine, now go in and rest."
Alfred woke up without difficulty, but Lia, who is famous for sleeping a lot in the morning, showed no signs of waking up.
"Lia, Lia! Wake up. You're really going to catch a cold."
"Hey Sihyeon, it's you!"
In the end, Andras and Alfred each had to grab her one arm and force her to stand up.
As I was heading to the farm building with three people, Kaneff grabbed by the shoulder from behind.
"Wait, there are still more people waiting for you?"
"Huh? Ah"
I turned my head and found the Eruls approaching .
The slightly heated atmosphere seed to have kept them here all night.
This ti again, Anis took the lead on behalf of the party.
Congratulations. I think things ended well.
"Oh Thank you."
I was worried that she would insist on giving Speranza to them.
I replied with confusion at the sight of her sudden congratulations.
Anis burst into laughter when she saw my reaction.
"Pfft! Don't worry. I don't an to force you to take my niece."
Really?
Yes. Was it Andras? What he said was right. I was thinking about taking her to the tribe rather than thinking about Miwoo's happiness. Honestly, I'm feeling so guilty right now. I have no face to look at my niece and my late sister."
Not only she but the other two also looked conscience-stricken.
"It may sound like an excuse, but there's sothing we haven't told you. We were desperate like that because the future of the Erul people is at stake."
Erul people and Speranza.
There seed to be sothing important that I didn't know about intertwined between them.
"That's why we were in such a hurry to take Miwoo quickly. I'm so sorry."
Anis bowed to with sincerity.
Daur and Namira also bowed their heads together.
"So what are you going to do now?"
"We're going back to the tribe right now to let the tribe elders know that Miwoo is doing well. I'm sure a lot of tribe elders will scold us for not bringing her back, but I'll convince them sohow."
Anis smiled bitterly.
And she looked down at Speranza who was sleeping with a faint expression.
"Of course, I'll be back to see my niece soon. We didn't talk much this ti. I hope we can talk a lot next ti."
Are you leaving now?
Yes! We have to hurry and tell the tribe, and also the person behind you tells us to leave quickly.
When I looked back, Kaneff was looking this way with an expression of annoyance.
"Tell them to go quickly. I can't wait to get into bed and rest."
Kaneff really showed a consistent attitude towards the Eruls.
I said goodbye to them on behalf of sleeping Speranza.
"I can't say the first eting was good, but please co to the farm again. I'd welco Speranza's family at any ti."
Anis made a blank look at my goodbye for a mont and drew a charming smile on her face.
It was a gripping smile.
"Of course, I will. I have to see my precious niece again, and most of all"
SWOOSH!
She closed the gap between us in an instant and ca face to face with .
She whispered with her face so close that I could feel her breath.
"I'm really interested in Sihyeon, too. It's so sad to say goodbye."
At her covert whisper, I put a blank expression on my face.
Anis drew a deeper smile as if she liked my reaction.
" Well, See you then.Oh! And I think the na Speranza is really pretty. Next ti, we'll try to call her Speranza, too."
Anis left the farm with other Erul people.
I still looked blankly at their backs.
SMACK!
Kaneff ca to my side, smacking my back.
"Tsk tsk, be careful."
"What?"
"There are rumors that Erul's foxes attract people and steal their souls."
When I heard that, I asked blankly.
"do foxes in the Demon world take out peoples livers*?"
Kaneff looked at as if I said sothing incredulous.
SLURP!
SLURP!
SLURP!
The newborn baby Yakum, completed the bottle containing Hap.
At first, they felt awkward about the bottle, but fortunately, they quickly adjusted and soon filled their stomach, which beca chubby.
Baby Yakum, who had been sucking the bottle for a long ti, opened her mouth and cried quietly.
Pow wo woii
"Are you full now, Aara?"
I nad the new baby Yakums Aara and Dora.
Aara which ans Light bringer in Sanskrit language and Dora which ans Gods gift in Greek.
Speranza really liked the nas, saying it was so cute.
Aara, who filled her stomach, waddled along and lay next to her sister Dora
The two fell asleep quickly, feeling each other's warmth.
I watched it closely and smiled happily.
Ah It's been a long ti since I felt this.
Soft baby hair, short legs compared to the body, and small horns with only traces sticking out of the head.
Although I have already taken care of baby Yakums, the appearance of baby Yakum, who seems to have taken all the cuteness of the world, was really enough for to explode with admiration.
When I was watching baby Yakums sleeping, Chorongi approached from the side.
Booo woo woooow!
Pow wow wooooo!
"Oh.Chorongi, Kawaii."
Chorongi and Kawaii looked down at the sleeping baby Yakums next to .
"But Chorongi."
Boo woooo.
"Didn't you quit the baby-feeding job too early?"
Chorongi left with the baby-feeding job about three days after the babies were born.
And as Hermosa did, Chorongi also imdiately allowed to milk her.
Of course, it's a good thing that I can get more precious Hap, but I was worried whether Chorongi was forcing herself because of .
But that must have been my unnecessary concern.
Boooooooo
Chorongi cried as if it was a given.
Then she began to act cute, rubbing her face against .
It seed she felt more comfortable with feeding the baby Yakums.
"Okay, I'll keep feeding them. Stop acting cute. You guys really act cute when you think you're at a disadvantage."
Boo woooo!
Words of complaint ca, but the laughter didn't leave my mouth.
While I was playing with Chorongi, Kawaii continued to hover around the sleeping baby Yakums.
Looking down or slling, she showed a lot of interest in her new siblings.
"Kawaii, do you like your younger siblings that much?"
Pow woooooo!
She's quiet and doesn't do many noticeable things, but she acted very actively around her new siblings.
Yesterday, Tanduk tried to play pranks on the newborn babies.
Seeing the scene, Kawaii was very angry and protected the babies.
Tanduk freaked out and ran away from the barn at the angry sight of his sister, which he had never seen before.
Perhaps because of that, not only Tanduk but also the Akum did not approach the newborn babies.
Kawaii, who overpowered her brother in one go, was both surprising and unique.
"Aara and Dora must be happy to have such a great sister, Isnt it Kawaii?"
Pow wow woooo!
When I complinted and stroked the proud Kawaii, she made a pleasant cry.
"Hold on, Kawaii. Stay there like that."
Woooooo?
I hurriedly took my cell phone out of my pocket and turned on the cara.
Baby Yakums and Kawaii were seen on the screen.
In front of a cute little baby Yakum, Kawaii, Smaller and cuter Aara! Dora! This was a scene that I couldn't help but take a snap.
I took a picture with excitent.
CLICK!
"Huh?"
A notification popped up on the cell phone screen saying that the picture could not be saved due to insufficient mory space.
I quickly checked the photo album and checked for the pictures that I could delete.
There's no picture to delete!
The cell phone photo album was filled with pictures of Speranza, cute Yakum, and farm mbers.
Even though I only looked around the photo album for a while, each and every one of them contained precious mories.
I can't do this.
I should buy a cara and equipnt to store the pictures right away.
It's a cri not to leave such cute baby monts behind!
I decided to buy a Cara as soon as I got off work from the farm today.
But right now I'm sorry, Andras.
When I buy a new cara, I'll take a lot of pictures of you.
I deleted one photograph of Andras, which ca out awkwardly and saved the picture I just took on my smartphone.
*TRIVIA*
When Sihyeon said does foxes in the Demon world take out livers it was a reference to the Korean folk tale The Fox Sister, which is a Korean story about the mythical Korean nine-tailed-fox demon (kumiho).
