“Lalala la la la….!”
Speranza held my hand and humd the lody of her favorite song.
Her excitent could be felt through the hands I was holding.
The appearance of trying to hide her feelings has disappeared completely, and now Speranza, like a normal child, expresses her feelings openly.
It was a trivial change, but as a guardian watching from the side, that small change was so precious and grateful.
After taking care of Yakums early in the morning and finishing the breakfast, heading to the garden with Speranza like this has beco a new farm routine.
In particular, Speranza loved going to the garden.
The baby Yakums, who always played with her, were a little disappointed.
Burrrrrrrr
On the way to the garden, a honeybee approached us.
It was the first honeybee I communicated with, and whose wing’s sound I am accustod to.
“ Hi, Bumble?”
When I called the na Bumble, the honeybee gently landed on the palm of my hand.
And he shook his plump hips and moved around on my palm.
This was a greeting that showed Bumble’s intimacy.
“Bumble..! Bumble..!”
This ti, Speranza held out her hands and opened her palm.
Then Bumble showed the sa movent on Speranza’s small hand.
Speranza smiled pleasantly at the ticklish feeling felt above her hand.
Bumble, who welcod us, went around us and began to fly sowhere as if asking us to follow him.
The place we arrived along with Bumble was a small beehive made near the garden.
When I opened the entrance of the beehive slightly, a very strong honey sll ca out.
The beehive was filled with honey filled by the bees.
“Wow! Did you guys collect this much already?”
Burrrrrr!
Burrrrrr
After I relieved the anxiety of the honeybees through communication with honeybees, honeybees, including Bumble, ca to the farm.
The honeybees began to build hives in the farm buildings without permission, and naturally, Kaneff’s demolition order was issued.
They would have done it to repay the kindness, but it was not so pleasant, even for to hear the flapping of the wings of honeybees all day long.
So, instead of the farm building, I made a separate beehive near the garden.
The bees cleverly recognized my intent and began to fill the beehive with honey.
I don’t know how hard these bees work, but the small beehive got filled up quickly.
Sooner or later, I thought I would have to make more new beehives.
“ Bumble, thank you!”
Burrrrr
Bumble circled around and flew sowhere.
I carefully closed the beehive and headed back to the garden with Speranza.
The beehive was very close, so I could quickly see the entrance to the garden.
And there was a fairy with orange colored hair and eyes waiting for us.
“Why are you so late, popi.”
The fairy cutely inflated her cheeks and complained.
“ Hahahah. Sorry Gyuri, I t Bumble in the middle.”
“Hmph!”
The fairy looked sulky at the story of eting Bumble before her.
The na I gave to the fairy was Gyuri, which ans farm in Greek.
Since she was the fairy protecting the fruits I fard for the first ti, I nad her that way.
Interestingly, there was no concept of naming among fairies, so I nad her separately to call differently from other fairies.
It seed a little rough, but Gyuri seed to like her na very much.
While thinking about how to soothe the sulky Gyuri, Speranza, who was next to , ca out and called her.
“Gyuri, do you want to eat this with ?”
“What is it, popi?”
“It’s a candy that papa gave .”
Speranza drew Gyuri’s attention by showing her the fruit candy that I always bring.
The sulky fairy’s expression quickly turned into a curious expression and ca close to candy.
Gyuri looked around at the candy that was almost the size of her head.
I broke the tip of the candy slightly, made it into small pieces, and handed it over to Gyuri.
Lick
“ Wow….This tastes like a sweet fruit, popi.”
The fairy, who tasted the candy for the first ti, forgot that she was sulking until few seconds ago, and began tasting the candy.
With Speranza and Gyuri sharing the candy, I started looking around the garden.
The garden has really changed greatly that it is hard to recognize.
After the fairies helped, the strawberries grew well and were already preparing to bloom.
How can they grow so fast.?
The changes when I checked after breakfast and after lunch were clearly visible.
With this growth, I thought I could expect strawberry harvest soon.
Of course, it was good to see them grow up healthy, but a problem occurred in a place that I never thought of.
Gyuri with candy in her mouth sat on my shoulder.
“Sihyeon, when are you going to plant more strawberries popi.?”
“ Hmm. I think it’s going to be hard right now.”
“No, popi. More strawberries are needed to make it a new area popi.”
The new problem with the garden was that the fairies wanted to plant more strawberries.
It’s a size that can’t be compare to the size of the garden now.
Planting strawberries could be done, but the problem was that I couldn’t afford to manage them at all.
There were so many things to pay attention to, even just running a small garden.
Due to the influence of fairies, weeds grew quickly and had to be pulled out every day, and the growth of strawberries was so fast that continuous managent was needed.
It took quite a lot of ti to manage a garden this small, and it was clear that if the size was increased further, other works on the farm would not be possible.
However, it was not possible to ignore Gyuri’s request continuously.
I am not sure what it ans to expand the territory of the village, but it seed quite important for a fairy.
“Wait for a little bit Gyuri, I’ll think of a way sohow.”
“Okay, popi. Then I’ll trust Sihyeon and wait, popi.”
“Do you want more candy?”
“Hehe. Thank you, popi.”
Gyuri smiled when I took out a new candy.
Once I reassured Gyuri, I fell into deep thought alone.
Planting more strawberries……
The most necessary thing to expand the field was workers.
Recalling the plans I had drawn little by little in my head, I began to organize how to act in detail.
Lia and I in a carriage entered the entrance of the Elden Village.
The village was filled with noise from sounds of the rchants.
We burst into admiration as we watched the lively scenery of the village.
“It’s really strange. It feels like yesterday when we first ca to this village, and I can’t believe it’s already changed this much.”
“It’s definitely changed as Sihyeon said. People’s expressions are also full of vitality.”
It was not only the appearance of the village that changed.
The way the villagers looked at us also changed a lot.
We were already gaining absolute popularity among the children, but still there was a little distance from adults.
Even that slightest sense of distance disappeared by the ti the rchants ca to visit the village again.
Now, every resident I encountered smiled and greeted , and their eyes were full of welco and goodwill.
In particular, there was no negative gaze at all on Lia, with whom they were more vigilant.
“ Mr. Sihyeon. you’re here. Oh… How have you been Ms.Lia?”
Lagos found us from afar, rushed to greet us.
“Hello Lagos. I think you were busy, sorry for disturbing you.”
“No matter how busy I am, can I pretend not looking at the savior of the village? Of course, I have to say my greetings.”
While talking to Lagos, a procession of rchants appeared at the entrance of the village.
Lagos expressed doubts about the slightly different procession from the last ti we saw it.
“Huh? I think there are more rcenaries than usual.”
“In addition, looking at the condition of the equipnt, I think their skills are formidable.”
Lagos nodded his head and agreed with .
Ergin, who was leading the rchant procession, ran straight to as soon as he found .
“Sir. Sihyeon! It’s been a while. Have you been well.?”
“Long ti no see. Ergin.”
Maybe because he benefited greatly from the strawberry deal, the attitude of Ergin toward was very polite and full of intimacy.
” I think there are more rcenaries today than last ti.”
“I paid more attention to safety. As rumors about strawberries have grown, more and more people with bad intent starts flocking.”
“You’re having a hard ti.”
“Ha hahah! And it ans that there is a sweet profit as much as the attention is drawn, so it wouldn’t be that much unbearable for a rchant?”
Ergin smiled with a relaxed appearance.
Even though I didn’t know what his true self was like, his pride as a rchant seed to be real.
“Oh my… didn’t the little lady co with you today?”
“Ah, Speranza?..She has a new friend to play with these days.”
Speranza was playing with Gyuri in the garden now.
Because of that, Miru, who was waiting in Elden Village, was disappointed.
“Is that so? That’s too bad. I brought dolls and toys that the little lady would like…”
“Thank you for caring about Speranza. Do you want to look at the strawberry I brought first?”
I took a box of strawberries from the carriage with the help of Lia and handed it over to Ergin.
He took the box very carefully and carefully looked at the strawberries.
Then, he handed it over to the employee next to him and gave them instructions.
“Quickly put it in the luggage compartnt designed to maintain freshness. You have to check again and again to prevent the contents from pouring out.”
“Yes. Sir. Ergin.”
Dozens of employees ran around the strawberry box and headed carefully to the luggage compartnt.
Ergin returned with a relaxed look only after checking in person that strawberries were safely stored in the luggage compartnt.
“Hmm. Well since I received the strawberries. It’s my turn this ti.”
When he bounced his hand, a staff waiting behind handed over two heavy bags.
“We sold the strawberries you gave us before and this is your share of the profits we earned. It’s about 8,000 gold.”
“Whoww, 8,000 gold?”
Lagos, who was listening next to , was surprised by the amount and swallowed the empty wind.
I already knew how expensive strawberries were, and at the sa ti, I couldn’t realize how much money 8,000 gold was, so I kept a calm look.
“We prepared half of it in jewelry and the other half in gold. If you want, I can exchange them for jewelry or gold coins.”
One of the bags handed over was filled with jewelry and the other with gold coins.
I roughly finished checking and handed the bag over to Lia.
Ergin slowly opened his mouth carefully, looking at the chance.
“ Sir. Sihyeon, do you need anything else? If you tell , I’ll prepare as much as I can.”
“I don’t need anything else, but I want to discuss sothing a little bit with Ergin and Lagos.”
“ too?”
I called Ergin and Lagos together.
“I’m making a new plan about strawberries, not anything else.”
“……?”
“……?”
“ I’m thinking of increasing the size of the strawberry field. So I wanted to ask you two for so advice… …”
Even before I wasn’t done talking, Ergin raised his voice with a spark in his eyes.
“I’ll help you. What do you need? Investnt? Equipnt? Account? Just tell .”
He was ready to go plowing the strawberry fields on his own right now.
“ No. I don’t need that grand help. or Lia can’t manage all of the strawberry field alone, so I’m thinking of getting so workers for help. “
And I continued to look at Lagos.
“ If you don’t mind, can you help ? If possible, I’d like to borrow so hands from the residents of Elden Village.”
“Ha……..our villagers?”
He stuttered as if he was very confused by my suggestion.
“Yes. Of course, I’ll pay them a daily wage. If possible, I’d like soone who has experience in fieldwork to help .”
“Sir. Sihyeon? If you need workers, I’ll get them for you. There are plenty of cheap workers with solid experience……”
“No, it’s okay. I think people of Elden Village is enough for . Lagos, what do you think? Is it possible ?”
Tears ford slightly in Lagos’ eyes.
I was greatly confused by the completely unexpected response.
“Lagos…Are you all right?”
“ I’m sorry. It’s the first ti soone reached out to us — the Beast people like this. I was a little touched.”
” Lagos…”
“Is it okay Mr. Sihyeon.? Is it okay to leave such an important task to us?”
“Of course, I don’t have anyone I can trust more than the people of the Elden village. Rather, I’m asking for it on my own accord.”
“Thank you… Thank you.”
Lagos wiped away tears from his red eyes, and vowed to with a determined look.
“ Mr. Sihyeon please leave it to . I’ll do my best not to disappoint you.”
“That’s enough. I look forward to your kind cooperation,”
I reached out to him by stretching my hands, and Lagos firmly held my hand.
anwhile, Ergin chewed his lips and looked at us with a very anxious expression.
