I decided to accept the request of the Demon Lord.
It was uncomfortable in many ways to refuse the request of the Demon Lord, and above all, I couldn't ignore sothing that was happening in Lia's hotown.
The middle-aged demon who had completed the role of a ssenger was very happy.
He praised my decision over and over again and confird that he would convey my courage and loyalty to the Demon Lord in detail.
But, before he left the farm.
"Hmm, co to think of it, the honey beer thats made at Cardis Estate has been talked about a lot. Lord Cardis, can't I taste a little?"
"This fu*ker.
He once again poured oil on the burning Kaneff by bringing up the story of honey beer. Naturally, Kaneff exploded. I and all the other farm mbers had to rush in and stop him.
"Boss, calm down."
"Boss Kaneff.. It's Alfred. Please, not the chain Argh!!"
"Mr. ssenger, hurry up and go. It's really dangerous this ti."
The middle-aged demon and his party left the farm in a hurry. If Speranza hadn't shown up in the middle of the disturbance, so of them might have had a hard ti going back.
As soon as it was confird that I would accept the request, I began to prepare.
There was no need for preparation to solve the problem, but the farm and Estate had to be prepared separately.
At least, the Estate didn't have much work to do, so I didn't think it would be a big problem. Not long after, I asked two people who were appointed to the territorial administrator and finance minister, respectively, to work on Estate affairs.
"I'm sorry. I'll be out for a while. Please take good care of the estate while I'm away."
"If its an order from the Demon Lord, there's nothing we can do about it. Have a safe trip."
"Don't worry about the Estate too much. We'll take care of ourselves for a few days. Please concentrate on your work. Oh! And don't forget the gifts when you co back."
Lagos and Locus reassured by saying they would take good care of the estate.
All that was left was the farm.
For now, the ones who will be leaving were and Lia, whose hotown was in crisis.
But, an unexpected person suddenly joined the party.
"Are you coming with us, Ryan?"
"Yes, Sihyeon. I was ordered by the Demon Lord to help Sihyeon."
It was Ryan.
He ca to the farm after a long ti and let us know directly that he would co with us. Ryan smiled awkwardly when I looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Don't you like that I'm coming with you, Sihyeon?"
"Oh, no! It's not like that Arent you always busy? So when you said you'd be coming with us, it felt a little weird all of a sudden.
It's true that I'm busy. Considering the gravity of this incident, it is natural to put other things off for a while. In addition, there are complicated circumstances that I have to co along with.
Complicated circumstances?
There seed to be sothing that I didn't know that made Ryan join this mission.
I wanted to ask for more detail, but I had to bury the questions in my head because of other urgent things.
Following Ryan, another unexpected person also declared his joining.
"I'm coming, too."
"What? Boss is coming, too?
I stared at Kaneff with astonishnt. On the contrary, Kaneff responded heartily as if it was nothing.
"Why are you so surprised?
"No, I think it's the first ti I've heard the Boss saying sothing he's going to do on his own And don't you have to protect the farm?
"That's how it's supposed to be. I don't think the farm will be in any trouble without . Maybe because I've been here for so long I'm bored. I will go out with you to get so fresh air after a long ti."
Hmm
I was confused when I heard Kaneff say he would join on his own. The fact that he, a super-powerful demon, was joining felt reassuring, and at the sa ti, I was afraid that the super-powerful demon would do sothing.
Kaneff frowned, looking at as if he had noticed my complicated innermost thoughts.
"Don't you like coming with you?"
"Oh, no. It's not that I don't like it.
"Then?"
I continued cautiously, observing Kaneff's countenance.
"You know that this is a request from the Demon Lord, right? On top of that, there's sothing very important.
"I know that much. At least I won't disturb you, so don't worry. I'm gonna stay really quiet.
.
Faith did not arise readily when he said he would stay quiet, but there was no justification to block Kaneff who spoke so much.
Thus, Kaneff joined as the fourth mber after Ryan.
"I guess this is it. Then, lets leave the farm to Andras and Elaine.
"I want to go too!"
When I was about to confirm the party that will be going to the village Red Scales, a fox girl raised her hand and declared her joining.
"Speranza, are you going to co too?"
"Yes!"
I felt a strong will from her tight lips and sparkling eyes. On the other hand, I scratched my head with a confused expression.
"Speranza, were not going for fun. Im going to solve a very important problem with the help of others."
"I want to help Papa, too.
Speranza raised her two fists and appealed. Of course, it was a very cute appearance, but I couldn't allow it just because of that.
When I was confused by the stubborn fox girl, Andras and Alfred, who was watching the scene, stepped up.
"Speranza, shall we do a new class together? You were interested in the instrunts you saw at the mansion last ti, right? I'll show you how to play them."
"Speranza, I'll play hard with you when everyone is away. So, stay here and play with this brother.
Speranza looked at the two of them for a mont and then shook her head.
"No!"
"Huh?"
"Ugh"
A painful moan ca out of the mouths of the two.
Speranza's No was quite a shock, so they kneeled helplessly with their shoulders drooped. Ryan and Lia, who watched the scene, comforted them with pitiful expressions.
"I want to be with Papa. Don't leave behind, Papa."
"I'm not leaving Speranza behind. I'll co back soon after finishing sothing important."
Speranza seed to have noticed that I had to leave for a long ti, and it seed that was why she was trying to follow sohow.
I felt sorry for the crying Speranza, but I couldn't let my daughter co to a place where dangerous situations might occur.
As my permission did not fall even after she kept on making a fuss, Speranza escaped from my hand and headed elsewhere. The place where the fox girl headed was in front of the chair where Kaneff was sitting.
"Boss Uncle. Will you take with you?"
Speranza looked up with drooping fox ears and wet eyes. The voice of the request was full of sorrow.
.
Kaneff's upper body, which had a calm expression, leaned forward. He picked up Speranza and put her on his lap. Then he patted her head gently and said,
"Of course, I will. How can I say no to Speranza?"
"Really?"
The drooping fox's ears raised.
"Yes."
"YAYYYY!"
Speranza scread happily and tugged into Kaneff's arms.
"You're the best! Boss Uncle is so cool! Boss Uncle is the best after Papa!"
"Yes, yes."
Kaneff nodded with satisfaction at Speranza's praise.
On the other hand, the rest of the farm mbers, including , looked at the scene with blank expressions. In particular, Andras and Alfred's faces were full of injustice.
Ryan told with a slightly vague smile.
"Speranza is smarter than I imagined."
"Haha Sotis I'm surprised, too."
I replied with an embarrassed look.
"Well, maybe it's rather good. The place we have to go to is full of delicious food and places to look around. It's very famous for its hot springs."
"Oh is that so?"
"I experienced it once and it was a very special experience. Of course, the mission cos first, but if you can afford it, it won't be bad to experience it."
Hot spring
The thought of going into the hot water in this chilly weather already seed to be relaxing.
Ryan continued, looking at Kaneff and Speranza.
"And I don't think we have to worry about Speranza's safety. In a way, Speranza is in the safest place in the entire Demon world right now."
I understood what Ryan ant. After all, there would be no one in the Demon world who could touch soone who was placed preciously on Kaneffs lap.
I nodded in agreent at Ryans words.
Thus, including , Lia, Ryan, Kaneff, and Speranza, five people left the farm to resolve the curious case of Yakums rampaging the Red Scales village.
-Dadak-dadak-dadak-dagdagdadak.
The luxurious-looking carriage moved under the escort of many soldiers.
One wall of the carriage was engraved with a seal symbolizing the Demon Lord, and the flag held by the leading soldier was also engraved with the Demon Lord's seal.
In the carriage which moved under an ironclad escort, there was us who had left the farm for the mission.
We were traveling on the carriage for two days.
The interior of the carriage was more spacious and cozy than it seed from the outside. The place where I sat was very soft and fluffy.
Next to , Speranza and Lia were sitting side by side, and on the other side, Kaneff and Ryan were sitting.
Unlike Speranza and Lia's side, who burst into laughter while exchanging stories, Kaneff and Ryan rarely talked and were quiet.
I stared blankly outside and trembled at the cold air leaking from the carriage window.
"Ugh it's certainly cold."
Right? It's far north of where the farm is, so winter cos much faster.
"As Ryan said, we would have been in big trouble if we didn't dress warmly."
If the farm was at the beginning of autumn, this place felt like midwinter weather. Fortunately, the group in the carriage was wearing much thicker clothes than when we were on the farm.
Speranza was wearing a white fur coat. It was so cute because it looked like a cute little winter rabbit.
Of course, I took a lot of pictures on the phone I brought.
I felt that I ca really far from the farm in colder weather than I thought. And suddenly, a question ca to mind.
"By the way, Ryan. Why are we moving by carriage? Can't we just use the dinsional leap magic to our destination?"
"I'd love to, but our destination is where we can't use dinsional leap magic."
"Is there a place like that?
"The flow of magic is unstable in so areas of the Demon world. Our destination is one of those areas. So we have no choice but to move with the dinsional leap magic until a certain point, and the rest on the carriage like this."
"Oh I see.
While I nodded at the kind explanation, Ryan said, turning his head toward the window.
"I think we're almost there.
I followed him and turned my head towards the window.
The snow mountain, which looked high through the outside of the window, was the first to be seen. And soon, a large village located below it slowly erged.
