Farm snack ti.
The snack I prepared today was potato pancake!
Uncle from my hotown sent several boxes of potatoes ho, and now there were so many potatoes that it was difficult to dispose of.
I distributed so to Yerin next door and brought the remaining to Demon Farm except for keeping so for my mother's needs.
Thanks to this, the ratio of potato ingredients to farm snacks and side dishes has increased.
Still, maybe because Uncle sent good potatoes, the farm family's response to the potato dish was very good.
I cut potato pancake into bite-size pieces on a plate.
Corn and cheese flowed out of the potato pancake.
Crispy outside and chewy potato and sticky corn cheese were harmonized inside
"Speranza, I'll cool it down for you since it's hot."
I picked up a piece of the right size and blew it with my mouth.
After blowing off moderately, I took the potato pancake to the little girl's mouth.
Like a baby bird feeding on its mother.
Speranza opened her mouth and ate the potato pancake.
I looked at the reaction anxiously in case it was hot.
Fortunately, Speranza moved her chubby and cute cheeks hard and tasted the potato pancake.
I asked with a mixture of expectations and worries.
"Speranza dear, what do you think? Is the potato pancake good?"
"Un! It's very tasty, papa."
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly when I heard it was delicious.
The corners of my mouth, which had been twitching at Speranza's continued words, went up all the way under my ears.
All of papa's dishes are delicious!
Oh, thank you, darling! How can my sweet little girl speak so beautifully?"
"Hahaha!"
Unable to control my overflowing affection, I hugged Speranza tightly.
The child burst into laughter in my arms.
After the visit of the Erul people, my affection for Speranza grew even more.
After I really decided to be the father of Speranza, everything felt different.
It's like the control over my emotions is broken
Her actions and words felt so lovely.
"Tell whenever you want to eat sothing. I'll make it the best for my girl."
"Un!"
"Let's eat the potato pancake before it gets cold."
I cut it into bite-size pieces again and brought it to Speranza in my arms.
I smiled while actually feeling full just by watching her eat.
Alfred ca out looking a little strange and muttered looking at Speranza.
"Senior, you seem to be more enthusiastic than you used to be."
"Really? I think I'm the sa."
You've definitely changed. These days, when youre with Speranza, you seem to be on cloud nine."
"Haha, is that so Speranza, ah~! Oh my sweetie, you're eating well."
When I was not listening and cared only about Speranza, Alfred shook his head and tried to talk to others.
"Andras, is it common to behave like that when you have children?"
"What's wrong with it? It looks good, don't you think?"
"I'm not saying it's bad, either. There's a slight difference from what I've seen in my family."
"Isn't it inevitable in a noble family that values rules and manners? Well my mother had a similar feeling to Sihyeon."
Lia, who was enjoying potato pancake, also told her opinion.
"MmmYes. My parents were also like that, when I was young they gave a lot of hugs and adored ."
"Hmm I see."
"But Sihyeon's way of affection has increased a lot recently. Perhaps if Mr. Kaneff was here, he would have said sothing"
When Lia ntioned Kaneff, everyone looked at one place. a vacant seat on the table
It was always the seat that Kaneff sat in.
I looked at the vacant seat and murmured.
"When will the Boss co back?"
"He said he wanted to get things done quickly, so he should be here soon."
It has been a week since Boss left the farm.
As expected, the farm was running fine without any problems.
In the first place, he was a person who had been rolling around and lazy even in broad daylight, so there was no way there would be a problem.
Rather, it could be said that work was reduced in areas such as al preparation and cleaning.
I didn't think much about the first day or two.
After a few days, I seed to miss his laidback expressions little by little.
Others were also looking a little nostalgic, perhaps similar to .
Is the Boss you eating well?
You don't have to worry about that. He took care of that issue very well no matter how hard it was. Rather, I'm worried that he might be getting used to Sihyeon's food and making trouble for others.
"I think so too"
Lia nodded her head while agreeing to Andras words.
A slight smile ford around my mouth, recalling the appearance of Kaneff.
PULL
Speranza pulled my clothes.
"What happened, dear?"
"Papa. When will Buass Uncle co back?"
"Boss? Um He will co back after Speranza has 10 nights of sleep."
Speranza opened her hands and started counting ten.
Her expression beca a little darker because of the thought that there were more days left than she thought.
"Speranza, do you want Boss to co back soon?"
"Un I want Buass Uncle to co back soon."
Speranza was scared of Kaneff because of what happened at the first eting.
Now that fear has disappeared a lot, She can treat Kaneff comfortably like other farm mbers.
Not only but also other family mbers looked at Speranza with satisfaction at the change.
I patted Speranza's slightly sullen head to cheer her up.
"Boss will be back soon. So let's wait a little bit more, okay?"
Un. Yes, papa.
You're so nice! My dear Speranza. Do you want more potato pancakes?"
"Un!"
Speranza smiled brightly and nodded.
When I got up from my seat to make potato pancakes again, Andras coughed and said.
"Hmm, Sihyeon. While you were making Speranza's."
"I'll have one more"
"Then I'll have one more too"
Three of them showed their empty plates with embarrassnt.
I smiled brightly and nodded.
Fortunately, there was no need to worry about the piled potatoes.
After snack ti, Speranza began to doze off with a languid look of satiety.
I left her with Lia to take a nap and headed to the strawberry field with Andras and Alfred.
"Sir. Sihyeon ?"
"Yes, Elder Poco."
Elder Poco, who found us, approached us at a quick pace and politely greeted us.
I also greeted him with an awkward appearance because I was still burdened with his excessive politeness.
I said I was much younger, so could be a little more comfortable, but he never gave up his politeness.
Rather, it seed to have gotten worse.
"Are you here to see the rchants today?"
"Yes, is the strawberry harvest going well?"
"The harvest was finished yesterday, and we will move to the village in ti for the rchants to arrive. Were going to move it to the carriage in a little while, so please wait a little bit."
We'll help you, too.
You don't have to do it, Sir. I've got enough hands"
"Oh Okay."
Elder Poco refused so coldly.
I couldn't say I would help anymore because of the pressure from his eyes.
" Sir, I'll tell you again when the carriage is ready. Then"
Elder Poco bowed politely and headed to the place where the strawberries were being loaded in the wagon.
I murmured regretfully at the sight.
"Well we used to be friendly and work together. Are they feeling uncomfortable?"
Andras, who heard my murmur, replied with a smile.
"Theyre taking care of Sihyeon in their own way, right? I don't think that's a bad change."
"Hmm"
"Senior, I agree with Andras. Being friendly doesn't always an it's good. I think that Elder Poco is acting more mature in that regard, too?"
Listening to them, I understood Elder Poco's feelings a little bit.
He probably thought that my friendly behavior could have a bad effect on Beast-people's work.
"By the way, the strawberry field has grown a lot. When I first ca to the farm, I think it was half the size of today."
"As Elaine said, I was also pretty surprised. I never thought I could scale this much in a short period of ti."
"I know. I'm not lying, but it looks like it's more than tripled compared to the first strawberry field?"
Despite the bad news of losing all the strawberries in the Storage recently, the expansion of the strawberry field continued step by step.
Gyuri and the fairies played the biggest role.
And so the Elden villagers.
It was an achievent achieved by mobilizing almost all the people of Elden Village under the direction of Elder Poco, who now knows more about strawberries than I do.
I also played an important role, but the growth was because of the workers from the Elden village who worked really hard in the strawberry field.
Just by looking at the strawberry field roughly, I could feel how sincerely they put their efforts into this place.
Now, most of the children in Elden Village said that when they grew up they would work in the strawberry field.
The strawberry field and Elden village were becoming inseparable.
Despite this expansion, Ergin and Algott still complained that supplies were insufficient.
It was inevitable because this was the only place where strawberries were produced.
While looking around the strawberry field with Andras and Alfred, a Beast-man ca running to the strawberry field in a hurry.
The Beast-man ran straight to Elder Poco.
Without any ti to catch his breath, he began to explain sothing in a hurry.
Monts later, a pale-faced Elder Poco ca running toward us.
It was so urgent that I was worried that he might fall.
"Sir, Sir.SIHYEON!"
What's the matter, Elder?
Its bad. The Young Lord is in the village now."
" Young Lord?"
At the mont I didn't know exactly what was going on, and when I looked puzzled, Andras next to stepped up and took over.
By young Lord, do you an the Young Master of the Selberg family?
"Yes."
I recalled the information about the na Selberg' that I heard in the past.
" Ah.Isn't the Selberg family the lord's family that rules this area?"
"Yes, that's right. Sihyeon."
"Why did a person from that family suddenly co to the Elden village the last ti I heard, Boss said that they didn't really care much about the village."
"Well, I don't know how it used to be, but things have changed a lot now."
Andras turned his gaze back to Elder Poco and asked,
"What exactly is going on in the village now?"
"Prince Selberg is leading knights and soldiers and gathering everyone in the village into one place, regardless of children and old people."
I said in surprise.
"What? Why all of a sudden?"
"Even the villager who told the news doesn't know exactly, but it seems like they were saying it was to find the sinners."
Our expression hardened at the story of Elder Poco, full of anxiety.
