I looked at Speranza next to just in case.
However, the whisper just before was not Speranza's voice.
When I was confused by an unknown phenonon, I heard the whisper once again.
C o l d
It's cold
The whisper was a little clearer than before.
And this ti, I could feel exactly where the whisper ca from.
My eyes turned toward Griffin's egg.
Surprised by the sudden situation, I put my hand back on the surface of the egg.
Then a faint whisper ca out more clearly.
It's cold It's cold!
It's cold
I began to think about how to respond to the desperate whisper of the eggs.
It was a cliche, but still, I tried by taking the eggs in my arms and hugged them tightly.
My body was in close contact with the eggs so that the warmth could be delivered as much as possible.
Speranza tilted her head at my behavior.
"Papa? Whatcha doing?"
Hmm, I'm hugging these eggs because they're cold.
Really? Then can I hug them too!
Speranza opened her arms wide and tried to hug the two eggs.
However, the size of the egg was so large that the little fox girl could barely hold one side of the eggs.
Still, thanks to my and Speranza's efforts, the whisper of coldness from the eggs gradually decreased.
Speranza, who was whining to hug the egg, asked anxiously.
Are the eggs alright now, Papa?
Yes, they're not that cold anymore.
Hehe.
Speranza smiled and stroked the eggs with her hands.
As Speranza and I were hugging the egg to share the warmth a thought ca to my mind.
Um, how long do I have to stay like this?
Hugging the egg itself was not that difficult, but I dont know how long I have to do this.
There was a lot of work left to do on the farm today.
Unlike the first ti when Speranza was motivated, it felt like she was losing strength.
She tried to embrace the eggs with her small body, so maybe it wasn't as comfortable as I was.
"Speranza, if you're finding it hard, you can rest a little."
I let Speranza who was having a hard ti rest, and I put the two eggs away from my arms for a while.
But
Cold Cold!
Cold Hug !
".?"
The two eggs imdiately responded.
Surprised, I held the eggs in my arms again.
Then, like a lie, the eggs were silent again.
Stuck with Griffin's egg, I made an absurd expression.
"Uh Speranza. I need so help. Can you call the others?"
"So you can't stop holding these Griffin eggs because they're cold?"
"Yeah."
"Huh so you can't do anything else."
When Andras heard my explanation, he smiled.
Lia, who heard the situation together next to him, approached Griffin's egg with interest.
"Sihyeon, can I hug these eggs if you're having a hard ti?"
"Would you like to?"
I put the eggs I was holding on the bed and slipped away.
Lia settled where I was and reached out to the egg.
But as soon as she hugged her, a reaction imdiately flowed from the eggs.
No! I don't want to!
Go away!
"I'm sorry, Lia, it seems like they dont like it."
"What?"
"The eggs hate it so much"
Lia looked a little shocked by my words and then walked out of bed with a gloomy look on her face.
I felt sorry looking at her disappointnt.
"Then why don't you try this?"
Andras went out as if he had thought of sothing, and quickly completed a square-shaped artifact.
"This is an artifact that emits heat. Its a little sloppy, but it also has the ability to control heat, so I think this will work out."
Confident Andras put the artifact close to the eggs and operated it.
As he said, warmth flowed out from the artifact and wrapped the eggs.
Unfortunately, the eggs did not respond very well.
I don't want to. Hug .
Hug .
"I'm sorry, Andras. I don't think they like this either."
"Ah. Is that so?"
Andras took back the artifact with an expression of regret.
Since then, various attempts were made to satisfy Griffin's eggs.
The farm mbers held the eggs one after another and made it feel similar to holding them in their arms with a comfortable cushion.
Although there was a slight difference in response.
In the end, Griffin's eggs did not elicit a satisfactory response.
Finally, when I hugged the eggs again, they showed a comfortable reaction that they didnt show before.
Kaneff burst into laughter looking at my condition.
"Hahaha, I think the Barbatos have found the right person for the job. Youre going to have to go through so trouble for the ti being."
"I'm surprised at Sihyeon's ability every ti I see it."
"I know. Even the beasts that are not yet born follow Sihyeon"
The farm mbers each said sothing and expressed admiration for my mysterious ability.
On the other hand, I looked down at the big Griffin eggs with a troubled look.
"Oh. What should I do? I can't work on the farm if I keep holding them like this."
Andras replied imdiately as I muttered anxiously.
"Hmmm, Sihyeon. It must be a little hard, but why don't you deal with it in a simple way?"
".?"
For Griffin's eggs, who don't want to get away from , the way Andras suggested was very simple.
Making a Griffin egg bag that I can carry around on my back.
It was a very simple solution, but the effect was clear.
The condition of the eggs can be checked from ti to ti, and their comfortable conditions are maintained.
The problem was, it was physically very difficult for .
Griffin's eggs, which are tens of tis larger than ordinary eggs, were hard to carry in the back while doing other work.
I never thought I'd be raising Griffin's eggs myself.
According to a record of Griffin sent by the Barbatos family later, when a female Griffin lays eggs, the couple takes turns protecting the eggs.
When one person protects the egg, the other goes hunting instead, and if the results of the hunt were not good, the Griffin that protects the egg may starve for more than a week.
I realized once again that the process of bringing a new life to the world is so difficult whether it's Humans or Yakums or Griffins.
While I was struggling to take care of Griffin's eggs, Bebeto, who left the eggs with , began building new facilities on the farm in earnest.
The first place he touched was the expansion of the barn.
The structure of the building was simple, and it did not contain special materials, and it was the least difficult construction.
The problem was the Yakums guarding the periter.
As many Demons gathered for construction work near the barn, Yakums were naturally wary.
So of the Demons who were working ran away at the sight of Bighorn emitting hostile energy.
Inevitably, whenever the construction was carried out, I ca forward to soothe the anxious Yakums, and fortunately, the expansion of the barn was completed without any major problems.
What's a little bit different was.
After the expansion was over, I felt a sense of respect in the eyes of Bebeto and the workers when they look at
The next construction was the expansion of strawberry field facilities and the construction of a strawberry jam workshop.
Kaneff insisted on creating a beer brewery in the middle, but naturally, it was ignored.
The construction of the strawberry jam workshop was more difficult than the expansion of the barn.
Several complex chanical devices related to the production of strawberry jam were also to be installed.
However, apart from the difficulties of the work, the construction environnt was much better.
The people of Elden Village ca forward and helped with the work when they heard that they were making a strawberry jam workshop.
Beast-people carried heavy construction materials by hand and served als to the workers.
So of the workers were not happy with the help of Beast-people at first, but as the construction schedule continued, they naturally began to accept their help.
In the first place, it must have been happier for workers since they can concentrate on construction.
The Barbatos family workers, Beast-people, and Andras worked hard on the strawberry jam workshop.
They were able to complete the strawberry jam workshop at an amazing speed.
The day when the strawberry jam workshop was completed, Bebeto, workers, and Andras, who had suffered together, gathered together with Elden villagers and farm mbers to celebrate.
Thanks to Ergin, who sent plenty of food ingredients and alcohol for the feast, everyone could enjoy a rich feast.
As ti passed, weeks passed since I started taking care of Griffin's eggs.
Early in the morning, I entered the newly expanded barn.
Aara and Dora, who were already awake, found and rushed over.
Powiiiii!
Powiiiii!
Aara, Dora! Did you guys sleep well?"
I was pleased with the two acting cute in my arms.
The two sisters grew up and before I knew it, they felt heavy.
Chorongi, the mother of the sisters, was still sleeping.
Unlike Hermosa who didn't sleep much in the morning, Chorongi often slept like this.
"Is Mom sleeping again?
-Powiii?
-Powiii.
I couldn't milk Chorongi who was sleeping, so I decided to put off milking.
I left the barn again and headed to the second floor of the farm building this ti.
In my room bed, Speranza was asleep hugging Griffin's eggs.
Even though I always told her to sleep comfortably, Speranza liked to hug the eggs preciously like this.
Maybe she was feeling sympathetic with the eggs who also lost their parents.
Looking at her with eyes filled with pity and pride, I organized Speranza's ssy hair on her forehead.
After a while, I turned to Griffin's eggs.
Griffin's eggs had little change from when Bebeto first brought them.
It was inevitably hard to carry heavy eggs on my back, but I was more interested in the eggs because I got attached to them while carrying them.
The mont I reached out to enjoy the smooth texture of the eggs.
I felt sothing different from the inside.
