It was dinner ti and I sat Ray and Shasha in the chairs in turn.
Next to them was Speranza.
Looking at the children sitting next to , I felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
As always, Kaneff sat on his usual seat with a languid face, and Andras was seated next to him.
Usually, Alfred or Lia would sit next to Andras, but today it was a little different.
"Uh-huh! I'll have to sit next to Prince Barbatos today."
"Huh? Really? Oh my, then, there's still a seat vacant next to Andras."
With their shabby acting Alfred and Lia made the seat next to Andras vacant.
Fortunately, Andras did not seem to have noticed anything strange.
"You should sit here today, Amy. Co quickly."
"What? Oh Yes!"
Amy hesitated to move to the seat next to Andras.
Lia clenched her two fists and showed them to Amy to convey her support.
After a big shuffle, when everyone took their seat, everyone began to eat in earnest.
Today's dinner nu was Fried Rice made with various ingredients.
I looked around and looked at people's reactions.
Fortunately, the food seed to suit everyone's taste.
Finally, I turned to the children.
"How is it, guys? Is the fried rice good?"
"It's good."
"Umu, its good."
The twins moved the small spoons hard and took the fried rice to their mouths.
Since they were still bad at using the spoons, they often spilled food or got it in their mouths.
Whenever that happened, Speranza, who was next to them, took care of the twins as if she was taking care of her younger siblings.
The twins naturally accepted Speranza's touch.
My heart ward at the sight of the children who seed to have beco siblings.
If I had a wife, we would have really been discussing giving Speranza a younger sibling.
I also looked at the situation on the other side of the table while taking care of the children.
I could see Andras and Amy sitting side by side and eating.
Amy kept glancing sideways, smiling faintly whenever Andras enjoyed the fried rice.
The food on her plate was almost untouched as if she was full just seeing Andras eat.
Aww its so cute!
Just watching her affectionate appearance made my heart tickle.
However, Amy only kept glancing at the side, and she didn't get a proper chance to speak to Andras.
Alfred and Lia, who gave her the opportunity using their shabby acting were also displeased by the situation unfolding.
I thought there wont be any progress if it was left like this, so I stepped in.
"Andras. What do you think of the fried rice?"
"I don't think it's much different than usual. Like always its good."
"That's a relief. Today, it wasn't who made the dinner, it was Amy who prepared it."
Fortunately, Amy wasn't as bad as Lia when it ca to cooking skills.
Her skills quickly improved just by teaching her and giving her proper advice.
"Did you make this Fried rice, Amy? It was as if eating Sihyeon's dish."
Andras looked at his side with a slight surprise.
At the sa ti, Amy trembled.
She asked in a trembling voice.
"Um, what do you think? The dish I made"
"It's excellent. You didn't have a talent for just magic alone. If you had chosen to be a cook, you would have been very successful."
"Really?"
A happy smile blood on Amys face at the praise that ca out of Andras' mouth.
Alfred and Lia also nodded satisfactorily as they watched the smooth flow.
"Shall I make you another dish next ti?"
"I'd be happy if you could make another delicious dish like this. But dont force yourself."
"That's okay. Please show your face to the Wizardry often. Then, I can give it to you often."
They didn't make any huge progress in their relationship, but it seed like a good start for a new relationship.
Looking at the two getting along, I suddenly rembered sothing and turned to the end of the table.
There, I saw Crosel who didn't get along with anyone and just focused only on his als.
After finishing the al quickly, he quietly left the dining room with a short greeting.
He has been like this since he arrived at the farm.
At first, I thought it was because life on the farm felt awkward, but it was not that, Crosel was deliberately refusing to interact with people.
Since coming here, he worked hard and helped with farm work. It didn't seem like he was shy because I got to talk to him sotis during work.
I was lost in thought as I looked at the door of the dining room through which Crosel left.
The next day.
Baby Yakums and griffins huddled in the shade of a windy tree.
-BoooWoowWooooooooo.
Tanduk closed his eyes comfortably at my soft combing and made a low cry.
Now, Tanduk was much bigger than Akum, so it took quite a while just to brush him.
I finished organizing his hair everywhere and patted his back.
"Yes, pal, it's over. You can go now."
-.
"Don't pretend you didn't hear , get up quickly. I have to brush your brother and sister too."
Boooooo! Boooooo!
Tanduk wanted more brushing, so he began to grumble with his larger body.
"Oh, my! You punk! Stop it. Now, I won't stand a chance if you rush in like when you used to be a kid. That was once upon a ti when you were a baby Yakum. Now, youre all grown up."
Woooooo.
Fortunately, he soon stopped complaining, instead, he made a slightly sad cry.
I smiled and hugged him.
"Don't be too disappointed. Youll always be a baby for . I'll take care of you as long as you want, okay?."
-Boo Wo woooo.
"Instead, reduce so rough pranks like headbutting, okay?"
When I hugged and patted for a while, Tanduk was satisfied and escaped from my arms.
Lia and Alfred, who were watching from the side, said in admiration.
"It's always amazing how Yakum trusts and follows Sihyeon."
"Tanduk is always like that Maybe he likes Sihyeon more than his mom and Dad."
These days, both of them are quite used to baby Yakums.
Even now, Lia and Alfred are combing Aara and Dora next to .
Thinking about Alfred, who fainted just from seeing Akum in the past, this was a huge improvent.
"With a little more effort, it would be possible for you guys to brush the grown Yakums. Speaking of which, would you like to co with to brush Bighorn in the afternoon?"
Lia shook her head with a bitter smile, and Alfred trembled as if he didn't want to imagine it.
"Sihyeon, that's a bit"
"Just thinking about it gives goosebumps, Senior."
"Both of you are exaggerating"
Biip! Biip!
Biip!
While talking to the two, Grify and Finny grabbed my clothes with their beaks.
"Okay okay, you guys are up next, co here."
I picked up the comb again.
The two quick-witted guys settled down quietly in front of .
Just as I was about to start brushing, I heard soone's footsteps.
"My Lord, I just finished what you asked to do."
"Oh! Good work, Prince Barbatos."
"Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"No. Why don't you take a break and have a chat with us here?"
At my suggestion, Crosel hesitated for a mont.
"Im fine, my Lord. If you don't have anything else for to do, I'll go back to my room and wait."
He looked at the griffins in my arms for a mont, then turned and walked toward the farm building.
Looking at his back, I muttered regretfully.
"Hmm, Is Prince Barbatos still not comfortable with us?"
"Huh? Well He might have his own reasons."
Alfred seed to know sothing, so I imdiately asked him the reason he was talking about.
He hesitated for a mont to answer with a bewildered expression.
But he couldn't stand my persistent gaze and eventually opened his mouth.
"I also found out recently. Prince Barbatos is in a pretty bad situation."
"?"
"The last ti when Senior and Andras visited the Barbatos family, sothing bad happened to you two, right?"
Well, that was really a close one. What would have happened if I hadn't cured the Lord in ti
"Do you rember the person who troubled you two at that ti?"
"Umm."
A middle-aged Demon with dark eyebrows, a beard, and sharp eyes got pictured in my head.
It was Godmother Diana's first son, he tried to take control of the Barbatos family when the Lord fell sick.
"Uh what was his naAh, yes YAIGER. Why are you asking that now, Alfred?"
"Well, that Yaigers sons na is Crosel Lenik Barbatos."
"What?"
Crosel is Yaiger's son?
I opened my eyes wide in amazent at the fact I heard for the first ti.
When I looked at Lia, her reaction was similar to mine.
"So, they sent the son of the one who tried to take Lords place as a Successor candidate?"
"Yes."
"Huh."
Now, I understood why he was like that on the farm.
I don't know exactly what kind of mindset he has now, but I'm sure he won't be here with a comfortable mind.
Elaine, why didnt you tell this earlier?
I too recently found this out. While working together with him, it didn't seem like he was a bad person. Most of all, he didn't seem interested in the position of Successor. I thought it would be more uncomfortable for you to talk to him if you knew that I'm sorry, senior. I didn't an to hide it."
"Ugh"
I didnt want to bla Alfred for what he did.
According to the circumstances, it was simply that he didn't get the right ti to talk about this.
More than that, there is a new problem.
Corsel was not interested in the Successor position.
What!? What the hell is happening?
Amy looks like shes more interested in Andras than the Successor position, and the twins look more interested in playing with Speranza than the Successor position.
If even Crosel was not interested in the successor positionWho are they asking to select?
My head was in a ss at the increasingly strange situation.
At the ti when Alfred and Lia were watching roll my head in silence, an urgent sound of footsteps ca toward us.
Lord Cardis!
Amy?
Help !
