A clear sky, warm sunshine, and an occasional cool breeze.
I was sitting in a moderately comfortable wooden chair, looking at the cute Demon beasts in the distance over the fence.
Ah! Of course, it was my personal opinion. I'm the only one here in the Demon world who describes Yakums as cute.
Anyway.
Watching them graze like this was one of the things I often enjoyed on the farm.
Thanks to the warm and nice weather, many Yakums went far away and were grazing fresh grass.
In the middle, the baby Yakums could be seen playing excitedly.
"Huh.
There was a lot of concern about the problems that might arise due to the sudden increase in the number of Yakum, but the Yakums who migrated quickly adapted to life on the farm.
Just looking at the crowded Yakum group made feel warm.
I think I need to extend the barn wider, and I also need to prepare more snacks for them.
Maybe I should ask for opinions when I et the rchants next ti.
As the Yakum population increased, there were many things I had to take care of, but it didn't matter to that much. Should I say that I feel more energized?
As I was having a relaxing ti alone.
-SHAK.
I heard the sound of soone stepping on the grass behind .
A light, cautious step.
Even without looking directly, I could notice the owner of the footsteps.
"What's the matter, Lia?"
"Did I interrupt you while you were resting?"
"No, I'm fine."
When I showed a welcoming look, Lia quickly approached with a relieved expression.
"I brought so snacks and cool drinks just in case you're hungry."
She took a small plate out of the picnic basket, put the cookies in, and poured fruit juice into the glass.
I accepted them with an apologetic expression.
"You don't have to go through all the trouble."
"What do you an trouble? It's my job. Please let know if it's not enough. I'll prepare more for you."
"Is Speranza"
"I already took care of Speranza, so don't worry. Shes probably taking a nap with Cheese right now.
As if she had expected my question, Lia gave out a series of answers.
"It's a little embarrassing to sit down and eat alone."
"I dont mind. It's enough for to just see Sihyeon eating.
.
Lia smiled and sent silent pressure. I picked up the cookie on the plate.
CRUNCH!
Crispy cookies, and sweet chocolate chips in between.
It was a cookie taste that had nothing special, but the sweet taste that spread in my mouth seed to make feel alive.
Whenever I felt dry, I drank the fruit juice in the glass.
Ugh!
It isnt big, but I enjoyed this small happiness.
When I showed satisfaction after eating the cookies, Lia also smiled happily.
Is that how I looked when I was watching the Yakum graze?
It made feel strange.
Lia's kindness was on a whole different level these days.
To be exact, it started changing after returning from the Red Scales village.
Originally, she took care of as a maid on the farm, but recently she acted as if she had beco my exclusive maid.
So, do I hate it.?
Honestly, no. How can I hate when soone takes care of with all their heart and supports ?
If there's a part that bothers a little, it's the fact that I sotis notice the stinging gaze from other farm mbers.
CRUNCH!
I unconsciously picked up the cookies and looked at the Yakums again.
Lia stayed as quiet as possible and respected my happy ti.
As I was enjoying a leisurely and relaxed ti, I suddenly rembered the guest who visited the farm a few days ago.
I'm Ark, an Angel who works as a Judge.
He was completely different from the image of the Angels I had.
The first eting was bizarre, and the incredible things he said made very confused.
The creator of the new world, Sihyeon! You're the only hope of getting through this crisis.
The distorted balance of dinsion, the realm of creation, the Vision world.
Obviously, it happened a few days ago, but the mory of that ti was not realistic, it was as if I had a dream.
Since all the farm mbers could not have had the sa dream at the sa ti, it was undeniable that the Angels visited.
If I'm really the only hope to stop the distortion, can I just relax and watch Yakums like this?
For a mont, I felt uncomfortable with this question.
CRUNCH!
But the uncomfortable feeling did not last long.
Soon, I drank the juice and washed away my doubts and feelings at the sa ti.
Ark also told to stay as usual for now, and this problem was not sothing that could be solved just by thinking about it.
Right now, just eating cookies and being comfort.
I looked at the plate in amazent as I couldnt get my hands on any cookies.
As I unconsciously ate one by one, the plate was empty before I knew it.
Everyone must have felt like this at least once.
Emptying a bag of snacks they really like, and feeling like it's a bumr to quit here, but at the sa ti feeling guilty as an adult to open another bag.
There was a situation where the whole world may be in danger, but instead of thinking about that, I was seriously thinking about what to do with the empty cookie plate.
If Speranza was next to , I would have wanted to show my mature appearance, but since there is only Lia and here.
I dont think its bad.
"Lia, I'm sorry, but can I have so more cookies? Um, Lia?"
"What?"
Lia replied in a startled tone.
"Is there anything you want to say to , Lia? I think it looks like that."
"Ahthat's.
She wiggled her hand at my question.
There really seed to be sothing she wanted to tell .
I quickly forgot about the cookie I was worried about a while ago, and waited calmly for her answer.
"What you said to in the village Do you rember?"
"Uh"
What, what?
What did I say?
I was confused by the unexpected question.
It has been a while since we returned from the Dragon demon Village, and so many things happened at that ti.
I looked back on my mories in a hurry, but nothing ca to mind.
I told her the truth with an awkward look on my face.
"I'm sorry, Lia, but I don't really rember What did I say?
"I was completely unconscious at that ti, but I definitely heard Sihyeon's voice.
?
"You said, when we go back to the farm, let's go on a picnic again before it gets colder"
"Ah!"
Lias explanation quickly brought back the mory.
When she was under the control of madness, I rembered the old picnic and said let's go on one again.
"Sihyeon, what do you think?"
She asked with a look of anticipation.
"Hmm. Picnic"
It didn't sound bad.
The weather has been good recently, and things that needed urgent attention have been almost handled.
After a little more ti, cold winter will co, then we have to wait until the next spring for going on a picnic.
In a way, this seed to be a perfect ti.
"Picnic I think it's good."
"Really?"
"Yes! Let's ask the farm mbers for their opinions."
Lia smiled with great joy at my positive response.
-SHAK.
"I too think its the best ti to go on a picnic, Senior."
"Elaine?"
Alfred, who appeared silently, expressed his support for the picnic.
"You're in? No, when did you get here?
"I saw Lia take sothing and go this way.
Alfred continued, with a sullen look on his face.
"When I saw her bright smiling face, I thought it had to be Senior."
"Ugh, when did I smile like that?!
"Didn't you know? These days your expression changes so much when it cos to things related to Senior. Isnt it, Senior?"
"Kuh, Kuh."
When asked by Alfred, I coughed and pretended not to know.
"Ugh"
Lia's face turned red with great sha as if she was not aware of her recent change.
-SHAK.
"Elaine is right."
"Ugh Andras?
Andras, who appeared after Alfred, nodded slightly to . He also pointed out Lia's change with a voice full of dissatisfaction.
"From the beginning, Lia followed Sihyeon a lot, but recently, it got worse. I can count with my hands the number of tis she brought snacks for like this.
"Uh, I was going to bring Andras snacks later"
"Really?"
.
When Andras asked with dry eyes, Lia could not answer and lowered her head.
Unfortunately, she didnt have any plans on giving snacks to Andras.
-SHAK.
"Yeh, right! Sister Lia only takes care of Brother Sihyeon. Well, but this cookie is really good."
Before I knew it, Lilia took out a cookie from the basket and expressed her dissatisfaction.
Once again, Lia's head just lowered without saying anything.
I was a little embarrassed that this seed to have happened because of .
Feeling sorry for Lia, whose ears turned red, I hurriedly changed the topic of conversation.
"That's great, everyone is just in ti. Right now, we were talking about going on a picnic. What do you think?
"Picnic? Hmm Co to think of it, it's already been a while since the last picnic."
Andras murmured, recalling the past picnic.
"Picnic? What's that?"
"Picnic is.
I briefly explained to Lilia what Picnic is.
Her eyes twinkled as she heard the explanation. She was already excited by the expectation of the picnic.
"Picnic! I want to go, too. I think it's going to be really fun!"
"Andras, what do you think?"
"I like it, too. Recently, I've been stuck in my workshop with research on the dinsional door device. I think a breather would be great."
Everyone agreed to the picnic without much hesitation. And it quickly beca noisy with various opinions.
I was also a little excited at the thought of going on a picnic with everyone.
