Lia stood with both her eyes wide open.
I asked in a bewildered way.
Yes ? What ?"
You found out that the horses are hungry, and then now. energy flows from the horses to Sihyeon Whats happening..This is impossible
I dont understand what you are talking, but first, lets calm the excitent a bit.
"Oh!"
When I looked at her with a puzzled face, Lia suddenly regained her sense.
Hmmm, sorry. I got a little excited and made a fuss. Forgive Mr.Sihyeon
"No, that's fine. I dont mind this much fuss."
As she bowed her head politely, I imdiately replied that I was fine.
But she was very disappointed.
She couldn't hide embarrassnt on her face, and looked so restless.
Contrary to her first impression of like a doll without emotions.
This maid seed to be more sloppy and expressive than expected.
This look way more friendly and a little cute to .
To alleviate her embarrassnt, I deliberately brought up a different topic.
Can I continue to help take care of these guys? I think I can help with this.
If you are fine with it I dont have any issues.
"Thank you Lia. Guys, did you hear that too? You will be in my care from now on.
Purleung.
Heh heh.
The horses let out a pleasurable cry as if they understood what I was saying.
I smiled and stroked the boys hairs once again.
This is how my first job at Demon Farm was decided.
After looking around the farm and chatting for a bit, the sun was already on top of my head.
Sihyeon. I'm going to go prepare lunch now.You can go and rest in your room. I'll call you when its ready."
"Ah. I didn't know you were preparing lunch, so I brought a packed lunch. You dont have to prepare my share.
"Is that so? Then, how about having dinner together at the dinner table? I will prepare a seat for you.
Then..Ill gladly accept your offer.
After a short conversation about lunch I headed to the second floor of the farm building.
After a simple wash in the bathroom next to the room, I took out the notepad from my bag.
In the mo pad, I briefly wrote down the farm facilities I visited today and the things I did to take care of the horses.
And after idling for a while, I took out my lunch box and went to the dining room.
I bought my lunch today just in case? But still there was a little desire to taste the al that Ms.Lia prepares herself.
Well, there will be a chance tomorrow.
I went to the dining room with a bit of disappointnt.
In the restaurant, three seats were set at the table that could seat eight people.
Can I sit?'
I hesitated for a while.
At that ti, Kaneff appeared in the dining room.
He walked over and took a seat at the front of the table.
"What are you doing.? Aren't you here to eat.?"
AhYes. That's right Boss."
Sit there.
Because there was a prepared seat I had no choice but to take the one close to him.
Kaneff still looked drowsy, and there was only an awkward silence surrounding the table.
Thanks to Lia, who appeared after a while, the uncomfortable atmosphere dispersed.
I will prepare bring your al now Mr.Kaneff.
"Mmmmm Do it."
?
Kaneff's expression changed to a very sad and heavy expression at the notification.
I wondered if it was so special dining etiquette here, so I made a firm expression at the sa ti.
Lia placed the food in front of Kaneff.
I glanced at the contents of the plate with a squint.
And I quickly fell into confusion.
A black object presud to be food is placed on a white plate, and there was a burning sll that stung my nose.
It looked like sothing I couldn't even bring it into my mouth.
What? Is this the way they eat in the Demon Realm?
I wondered if it was an ordinary dish in the demon world, so I pretended nothing was wrong and managed my expression.
As a citizen in the age of globalisation, we must respect each individual's culture.
But my efforts were in vain.
Seeing the reactions of the two people which followed, I quickly realized that it was my big misunderstanding.
Lia.
"Yes. Mr. Kaneff.
Co here.. explain whats this.
She opened her mouth with an anxious expression.
I was a little nervous
"It's been several months since you've been here, have you been nervous all this ti?"
"We have a new visitor today so"
Then what about yesterday? and a week ago?"
"Ugh."
Lia couldn't properly answer Kaneff's bitter question.
I always thought that she was a maid who handled her work skilfully with a calm appearance, but that image is slowly getting shattered.
Haaaa. How the hell do you make these charcoal lumps? Why dont you just bring the raw at.?
Even if it is baked in Dragon's Breath, it will be cooked moderately than this.
Thats. an accurate expression.
My head nodded at the venomous remarks that reminded of a British chef.
Although she has helped a lot today, my evaluation of her didn't seem to make any sense.
When I saw Lia being scolded by Kaneff, I felt sowhat uncomfortable.
It's like standing next to a friend whos get scolded by his parents?
In that awkward situation, I counted the number of decorations in the dining room or looked at the scenery through the window.
But despite my delicate efforts, the topic of conversation quickly shifted to .
Wait a sec.. Why didnt you bringing food for the guy over there.? Are you showing favouritism because he is a guest?
I don't think favouritism is a word used in this type of situation.
Anyway, I opened my mouth to explain Lia's position.
I didnt know the al was being prepared, so I brought a my own lunch.
Really.? Then show it."
ookay!
If its a lie, you should eat this with .
Kaneff looked at with eyes that were filled with a little anger and little bitterness.
If I didn't have a lunch box, in the montum he might shove that black object into my mouth right away.
I had no choice but to open the lunch box.
Click. Click!
The simple lunch box was opened, and the good sll of food spread for the first ti in the dining room.
Appetising side dishes along with rice that is shiny even though it is slightly cooled.
Maybe because its placed next to black object, it seed to shine extraordinarily.
Kaneff and Lia looked at my lunch box as if possessed by sothing.
Watching the two of them intensely focus on an ordinary lunch box made understand what kind of hardships they have been through so far?
I also felt a sense of pity at the sa ti.
Is it because of the unique characteristics of being a Korean? When soone looks at the lunch box, mouth automatically opens.
Do you want so?
Kaneff nodded his head.
I placed the rice and side dishes little by little on the plate prepared on the table and handed it to Kaneff.
Kaneff began to taste the food slowly.
After a while, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips, and on the contrary, Lia's expression darkened.
"Human! Did you make this yourself?
"Yes. I prepared it myself.
"Really? human. No, did you say Sihyeon.? From now on, you are in charge of the farms cooking.
Kaneff appointed as the farm's cook at his own will.
I answered with a sullen expression, recalling the conversation we had in the morning.
Boss.. Didn't you tell earlier that you dont care about what I do..? "
There. was no talk about cooking in the initial work when I talked with Ryan thats why ?
I see.!
Kaneff flustered.
It seed that he was regretting what he told earlier.
Then, with an anxious look, he pondered for a mont.
Then he opened his mouth again.
Okay As I said, I won't force you. Let make this as an offer instead.
?
If you were in charge of cooking on the farm. Just once! as long as it isnt outrageous, I will grant you one request.
Hmm.
He grants a favour in exchange for cooking in the farm.
I reacted vaguely to his suggestion.
It doesn't look like he's going to keep his promise, and I don't think there's anything special to ask.
Kaneff continued to speak hastily, as if he had beco impatient with my irritable reaction.
I dont know much about the world out there, but Im sure there is sothing I can do, to help you here.
I promise you with my horns!
Seeing him swearing with a serious expression on his face, my heart fluttered a little.
"All right. Then I"
It cant be!
The mont I was about to accept Kaneff's offer, Lia reacted violently.
I am the maid here.
I am the one in charge. In human terms, I am the boss in this field and the decision is mine
"Ugh."
Lia suddenly stared at with a determined attitude.
No, I didn't do anything wrong, so why
She held out the plate to with a frightening force.
Give too.
"Yes?"
"food!"
"here."
Taking the food on her plate, she slowly savoured them.
The more she tasted the food, the more dissatisfaction she had on her face, and at the last bite she looked like she was about to cry.
She seed to have realized the cold reality.
Seeing this, Kaneff raised the corners of his lips.
"How about it? Is it delicious?"
?
Okay, Sihyeon will be in charge of new al from now on!
Wha But wouldnt Lias opinion, who was still in charge of the al, be important?
Kaneff shoved the plate of Lia's food at .
In an instant, a stinky, disgusting sll stung my nostrils.
Then would you like to eat this with every day?
"I'll do my best."
I felt sorry for Lia.
At the bloody threat of feeding the food on the plate, I had no other choice.
I cautiously asked Lia, who had beco depressed.
Ms.Lia. Are you okay?"
"please."
wha..what?
More food, please!
In her watery red eyes, she throws out her pride as a maid and holds out her plate.
With a pitiful heart, I placed a lot of food.
"eat a lot."
Th. Thank you.
Lia ate while holding back her tears, and Kaneff looked at the scene with satisfaction.
As I watched the two of them, I felt that the impression I had at the first eting were completely false.
And then I rembered what Ryan had said on my way to work today.
-The two of them are a bit eccentric, but they're not bad people.
Obviously, both demons had their own unique aspects, but they didn't seem as bad as I had worried.
The first lunch on the farm was noisy in many ways.
And my second job at the Demon Farm was decided.
