The Angel mission, in which Lia and I participated, created a lot of buzz in many ways.
Even though the Rift was predicted to be not a powerful one, it created a lot of casualties, and it scared many officials that in the worst-case scenario, it would have been a nightmare.
There were also negative comnts saying that the Awakeners selected for the mission were not prepared enough.
There was another story that got the most attention from the most people, beating these bad stories.
It was about two people who contributed the most to the success of the mission.
One, who fought one-on-one with the last boss monster, and the other, who summoned a boss-class Summon to end the battle.
It was about and Lia.
Not many people knew about our identity, so it didn't get attention right away, but our performance spread by word-of-mouth.
The day after the mission, there was even a place that contacted us through the guild saying they wanted to interview us.
Previously, I thought it would be okay to be on TV, but looking at the current situation where too many people are paying attention I felt the interview was a little burdenso.
When I confined reluctantly to the Guild master about that, he appropriately declined the interview.
Thus, I enjoyed the rest of the ti with Lia and the children.
After finishing all the schedules here, we prepared to go back to the Demon world.
It felt like Lia got attached to this place in a short ti. When she saw my mother and Yerin, who ca to send her off, she moved to tears.
"Lady.No Yerin, Thank you so much for letting stay here."
"It's no big deal. Youre always welco. You'll stay at my house next ti too, right? I'll be waiting for you."
"Yes! I'll definitely try to co next ti."
I don't know when she'll have another chance, but Lia said goodbye with a promise to co back.
I packed up the things for the children, Lia, and the farm mbers and headed to Ryan's office.
There, Angel Ashmir was waiting for us.
"Welco. I've been waiting. Hello, little buddies?"
Ryan greeted us kindly, and Ashmir still greeted us as usual with a stiff look.
As soon as the short greeting was over, Ashmir imdiately brought up the main topic.
"I heard that you two played a big part in this mission. It's a little late, but I'd like to thank you on behalf of the Angels for your difficult mission."
She lowered her head slowly with a solemn expression.
On the outside, it was a sincere thank you, but sohow I felt a little uncomfortable.
The words Bellion said Watch out for the Angels. They are dangerous kept ringing in my head.
I dont know whether it was a dream or reality, and I dont know why he said that.
Even though it was sothing I heard in my dream, it kept bothering to the point an uncomfortable feeling crept up as soon as I saw an Angel.
As promised, we will reward Lim Sihyeon. Please let know if you have any requests. I'll cooperate as much as I can."
"Oh Yes, thank you."
Ashmir, who finished explaining, turned to Lia's side.
Can you show the hand that was patterned last ti, Miss. Lianne?"
At her request, Lia gently held out one hand.
In her outstretched hand, the pattern engraved glowed.
"The mission is over, so I'll retrieve the pattern. You can't be here anymore. Of course, if you walk around in this world without this pattern, you'll be imdiately tracked by the surveillance officers."
"Um."
Ashmir put her hand on the back of Lia's hand, and soon, white light poured out like last ti, and the pattern engraved on the back of Lias hand disappeared neatly.
Lia's face darkened as she looked at the back of her empty hand.
Perhaps the fact that she could not co back here was very disappointing.
"Excuse , Lia."
"Yes? Sihyeon?"
"Can you show your hand for a second?"
"?"
I don't know why I said that all of a sudden.
Was it because I wanted to do sothing because I felt sorry for Lia, who had a sad expression, or so kind of an unknown will?
I dont know what it was, but the one thing I was sure of was that I felt that I could do sothing about it.
Lia reached out to in a bewildered yet docile way.
I held her hand gently with both hands.
Then, as Ashmir did, white light poured out.
-WHOOOOO!
[K???????? Ability used.]
Uh? what? Si, Sihyeon?!
Lia stuttered her words and gave a bewildered reaction.
Not only Lia, Ashmir, and Ryan watched the situation with their eyes wide open.
After a while, the light faded and a mont of silence filled the room.
I slowly pulled my hands from the back of Lia's hand.
At that mont, sothing really unbelievable happened.
"What? How is this?"
"Sihyeon?" Is this what I'm looking at right now?"
Ryan looked at with a startled expression, while Lia continued to touch the back of her hand as if she couldn't believe it.
"No way"
With little change in her expression, Ashmir twisted her face and alternated between the back of Lia's hand and my face.
" HOW? How on earth can a human carve dinsional pattern?"
Ashmir interrogated with a look filled with complex emotion.
Her attitude felt burdenso and fresh at the sa ti. However, I had no choice but to react vaguely to her urge.
I don't know either.
Are you kidding ? Didn't Lim Sihyeon just engrave a pattern on the back of Lianne's hand?
I shrugged with a flustered expression at the sight of Ashmir, who raised her voice.
"I'm telling you the truth. I just did it because I thought it would work if I did it like this. I didn't know it would be this real."
Ashmir's face crumpled once again at my excuse.
Honestly, it was a bit of a ridiculous excuse even for . In the midst of a serious atmosphere, Speranza suddenly intervened.
"Can Sister Lia continue to co here and et grandma now?"
All eyes were on Ashmir for a mont.
She looked displeased and nodded slowly.
"As long as there's a pattern, the surveillance officers can't go after her."
"Does this an I can co here again?"
When Lia asked with a thrilled expression, Ashmir sighed loudly and said.
"I don't know how this is possible but there's no problem with the procedure."
"Yea! Sister Lia can co to grandma's house again next ti!"
Poooooo woo woooo!
"Hehe! Congratulations, Popi!"
The children burst into laughter as they rushed to Lia's side.
Lia also smiled as if she was really happy.
Looking at that, Ryan and I also smiled happily.
Only Ashmir looked at us with a dark expression.
WUKIIII
The sound of crying ca from beyond the forest.
I shouted, waving my hand to the side from where I could hear the cry.
"Welco guys! I've been waiting for you,"
From the depths of the forest, the owner of the cry began to move in response to my voice.
TAT TAT TAT
These were the Totaras that I t when I went to the forest to find the Spirit's breath herb.
"Its been a while, Guide. How are you?"
Wukii kiiiii!
Guide Totara nodded at my greeting. He looked very friendly because we had already t several tis.
After a brief greeting, the Totaras put down the cloth that each carried on their backs in front of one by one.
It was full of herbs available in the forest.
"Wow! You brought a lot this ti, as well! Aren't you overdoing it?"
Wuki kiiiiii!
When I asked anxiously, Guide Tota stood up and stretched out his chest.
I think it was an act of wanting to express confidence, but it just looked cute to .
"I dont want it to be a burden to you guys. You can give up in case it's too hard."
Wukiii! Wukiki!
"All right. Then I'll continue to receive from you guys."
After smiling at the confident GuideTotara, I signaled to my back.
Alfred and Kroc, who received the signal, brought so heavy bags. It contained a lot of spider poison antidote made by grandpa Raccoon.
When they checked the antidote in the bag, Guide Totara nodded satisfactorily. The original contract is over if we give the antidote like this.
The herbs handed down by the Totaras were very helpful in many ways, so I brought them additional things.
"Now~! Since you guys always gave a lot. This ti I tried a little hard."
Wukiiii?
They opened the other bag I gave them with a look of anticipation. It was filled with freshly harvested strawberries.
Wukiiiii!
Wukukiiiii!
When Guide Totara, the leader who found the strawberry, cried in excitent, other Totaras in the back also twinkled their eyes.
"I brought them all for you guys. Feel free to take it."
As soon as I was finished, the Totaras flocked to the strawberries.
Wukiiiiii!
Wukiiiiii!
Wukiiiiii!
They started eating strawberries in different ways. So of them grided it with their front teeth, while the others ate them by putting a lot into their mouths at once.
Among them, the greedy one pushed the strawberry into his mouth to the point where his cheeks were like it was swollen.
While Totaras were distracted by strawberries, I patted them one by one and had a personal healing ti.
The tail was sensitive and on alert, but the back and side parts accepted my touch very naturally.
In particular, I felt very good when I stroked their soft, fluffy sides.
It was so addictive that I wanted to pet a Totara in my arms all day on a holiday.
-Wukiii!Kii!Wukii!
The Guide Totara didn't seem to like patting the Totaras other than him, so he approached and whined.
I burst out into laughter and soothed Guide Totara.
"Haha! Look at you, are you jealous? I'll pat you too, so don't be mad. Here! Eat more strawberries."
I gave him a strawberry himself and stroked Guide Totara's back. Only then did he settle down with satisfaction.
While I was having fun with Totaras, I felt a hot gaze from my back.
It was Kroc's gaze.
He looked at with an envious expression as I played with Totaras.
Unfortunately, Totaras were wary of Kroc, who was a dragon descendant, so it seed impossible for him to get close with Toataras.
I'm sorry, Krock. You may have a chance next ti.
I tried to ignore Kroc's gaze and continued to have a good ti with Totaras.
Wukiii! Wukukiiii!
"Okay! Co again next ti, I'll be waiting for you guys!"
The Totaras, who ate the strawberries to their heart's content, said goodbye with a loud cry, and they quickly disappeared into the forest with the Poison spider antidote.
The rest of us also prepared to take the herbs and go back.
Alfred looked at the so many herbs said with amazent.
Wow There are a lot of herbs again this ti. I think this is enough to sell?"
"I know. Grandpa Raccoon also said there was no place to store it."
I was grateful that the Totaras brought a lot of herbs, but it was a problem because we dont have a place to store all of them.
Even if only precious herbs were stored, it was a waste to throw away the rest of the herbs.
"It's ti for rchants to co. I'll have a talk with Lagos about this."
"Hmm. Herbs are good, but I think rchants will be more interested in sothing else?"
Alfred said with a aningful look. Kroc, who was next to him, also showed interest by twinkling his eyes.
"Oh, I don't have any plans to show it to rchants yet. Is there a rumor already?"
"Yes, there's a lot of rumors among the villagers There's no way the rchants don't know."
I scratched my head with an embarrassed look.
"Well I dont think we have any supplies to sell to rchants. Plus, I dont think Boss would be very eager to sell it right now."
"Yeah, it's a waste to sell it right now. We don't have enough for us to drink."
Kroc nodded loudly at Alfred's words and agreed.
"Huh? Have you tried it, Kroc?"
Kroc quickly moved his hands to my question.
I couldn't understand the aning of sign language perfectly, but I could grasp the aning roughly.
"That's right. Once you taste it, it's hard to forget."
The three of us swallowed our salivas at the sa ti.
Kaneff's long-cherished desire for a honey beer brewery ca to fruition after curing Miru's mother, Adelas terminal illness.
Once she got completely cured grandpa Raccoon started building a brewery in earnest.
Although there have been so trials and errors in the process of expanding production, grandpa Raccoon recently declared himself that there will be results soon.
Not only the farm family who heard the news but also the villagers and rchants who heard the news are waiting for the honey beer.
There was a new wind called honey beer' was blowing fiercely at Cardis estate.
