“Haaaaaaaaaaaa”

Alfred, the third son of Verdi family, rose up with a loud noise.

“Did you wake up?”

“What the… here…”

Alfred looked around with a confused look on his face.

Speranza had already returned with Lia, and there were only the Demon that was lying down and me.

He made eye contact with me standing next to him and asked in a trembling voice.

“What happened?”

“I’d like to ask you that. You suddenly collapsed and I was about to call a Doctor.”

“That…..”

“Fortunately, you don’t seem to be injured.”

As soon as I confirmed that his physical condition was normal, I questioned him with a cold look.

“What happened here ? Did you threaten the children ?”

“I never threatened them. I was just trying to warn them, not to interfere with my training. But the devilish… the devilish………….?”

“… “

Alfred hastily stopped talking.

I immediately noticed something from his obvious behavior.

“Akum, Akum ! Where are you ? Come here!”

“No, wait.! Who are you calling now?”

Alfred tried to stop me with a confused look, but my voice had already reached the recipient.

Pow wo wooooooo

At that moment, Akum’s voice was heard and soon Alfred’s face began to crumble.

“What?”

I glanced wickedly at Alfred like a villain, lifted Akum in my hands and pushed him towards Alfred.

“Oh Lord…..! Stop it…… Don’t! Arghhhhhhhhhh!!”

Alfred responded as if I was holding a weapon.

After hearing all his scream patterns for about 30 seconds I put Akum on the floor.

Only then he stopped screaming and breathed heavily.

“Haaa… Haaaaa…”

“If I knew you would like him this much, I would have introduced him in advance.”

“You…… You punk…”

Unlike his distorted expression, my face had a deep smile on it.

“Hmmm, You have rested so comfortably for a week, right ?”

“I’m not resting…I was training.”

“Oh, I’m not sure about that. Have you ever heard of a proverb ‘ He who works as a Slave, eats as a King.’ Since you have eating like a King for a whole week, don’t you think it time for you to work like a Slave….. Newbie ?”

Taking advantage of others’ weaknesses and threatening them is, of course, cowardly and wrong.

However, the freshness and sweetness felt through revenge blurred even that guilt.

“Newbie.! Go and clean the stable?”

“You know the one near the warehouse.. right.? Wash it cleanly. While you are at it, also clean up the warehouse.”

“ By the way….the grass grew too much in front of the farm. So pull out every grass.”

I left all the works that I have put off since I was busy with other works to Alfred.

Of course, at first he objected to my order, but his will didn’t last very long.

“ Tanduk, Akum.”

When I placed the two siblings next to Alfred, everything solved on its own.

As he ran away screaming, Tanduk and Akum chased him like crazy, and soon after, he quickly expressed his intention to surrender.

Just looking at the scene from the side washed away the frustration I had been experiencing for a week.

Two weeks passed peacefully on the farm.

During that time, some changes have also emerged.

One of the changes was that Alfred ate with everyone in the Dining room.

At first, the Dining table was a little awkward, but now Alfred and other farm members have got used to it.

“Newbie. Help Lia with the dishes.”

“Okay.”

Alfred silently arranged the dishes at the table according to my instructions.

Andras and Kaneff expressed surprise at the 180-degree change of Alfred.

“He has changed beyond recognition.”

“How much did you grind the child to be this extent?”

“What do you mean by grind ? I wasn’t that hard on him.”

“Not too hard.? The scream he made while being chased by Baby Yakums was heard even in my room.”

I felt a little guilty.

I didn’t knew it when I exploded the frustration that had accumulated for a week, but when I looked back on it now, I felt that it might have been severe.

“I didn’t expect him to be that afraid of Yakum.”

“If the third son of the strongest family in Demon world fears like that, think about the reaction of normal Demons.”

“ What…Why.? Isn’t Yakums are cute?”

“Cute…. You’re probably the only one in the whole Demon world who thinks that way.”

“Lia is very close Baby Yakums these days. Doesn’t she got used them.”

“I think that wouldn’t have possible without Sihyeon.”

Hearing the words of Kaneff and Lia made my heart ache even more with guilt.

Alfred, who had finished organizing, appeared.

“I’m done organizing what you told me to do.”

“Uh…… Yeah. Good job.”

Alfred looked at me as if he was waiting for my command.

Wow… He really have changed a lot.

The rude, unstable and short-tempered Alfred has completely disappeared, and the one now was calm and composed.

“Alfred. Let’s go look around the garden this afternoon.”

Kaneff went to his room as usual after Lunch and Andras went to the strawberry field to set up a preservation magic device that he had been working on for a few days.

Alfred and I got our gears and left the farmhouse.

While walking in the garden, a honeybee flew straight to us.

Alfred flinched and became wary of the honeybee.

I immediately recognized Bumble approaching me, and lifted my hand.

Bumble sat down stably on my palm and greeted me.

“Bumble! It’s been long. How are you doing.?”

I welcomed Bumble, who greeted me in a cute way.

When I patted the plump Bumble, who I hadn’t seen in a long time, Bumble accepted my touch as if he was in a good mood.

“No way… Are you raising this honeybee, too?”

“Oh. Bumble? I’m not raising him. We are just friends. Am I right Bumble?”

– Burrrrr…

Alfred looked at me with strange eyes, while I was interacting with Bumble.

After a while flew up.

He wandered around me as if asking me to follow him, and thus we headed in the direction in which Bumble flew.

When we entered the place where Bumble lead us there were honeycomb boxes that I had made.

Burrrrrrrr

Burrrrrr

Burrrrrrrrrrr

“Wait a minute, lads, Let me open the honeycomb box.”

When I used my ability to communicate over the wide area around me, the bees in the box came out one after another.

The box was filled with honey collected by the bees.

The same was true of the other boxes.

“You’ve filled up so much again? You’re leaving your share, aren’t you? ”

Bumble, who landed on my shoulder, nodded as if asking me not to worry.

Honeybees that bring a lot of honey every time, fly around the strawberry field busily, and help pollinate the flowers.

I couldn’t help but be proud of them.

“Thank you lads. Thank you for the honey.”

Brrrrrrrr

“Say hello to the Queen for me,”

I said to Bumble, and the other bees, who went off to find the honey again.

With the help of Alfred, I collected honey from the honeycomb box with the equipment I had prepared in advance…

‘Oh, the honey is dense?’

The barrel got filled with honey, giving off a sweet smell and a scent of flowers.

I carefully put the honey collected by the bees in a barrel.

After closing the lid, I held out the spatula I used to transfer the honey to Alfred.

“What…!!?”

“Taste it. There’s quite a lot left, it’s a waste to throw it away.”

“……”

Alfred, stared blankly at me for a while, and then carefully took the spatula and took it to his mouth.

He tasted the honey, and opened his eyes wide as if surprised.

It seemed somehow cute to see him licking the spatula frantically.

After cleaning up the honeycomb box, we headed to the garden.

“Oh? It’s Sihyeon, ippi”

“Hi, eppi”

“Hi, guys.”

Fairies found me in the garden and greeted me.

Alfred was not particularly surprised at the sight of fairies since he has seen Gyuri a lot while staying on the farm.

“I told you last time how to weed the strawberry field, didn’t I? Today you’re going doing it from the middle to the end. I’ll do the rest.”

“OK.”

Alfred took a garden glove and a shovel and headed to the place I told him.

“Oh? It’s the cowardly Demon ippi!”

“Coward Demon pippi?”

“I saw him screaming and running away last time. I think he’s a real coward eppi”

I felt sorry for Alfred, who got teased by the fairies, so I deliberately brought up another subject.

“ Guys…Would you like some candy?”

I took out a fruit candy that I always carry when I was working.

I broke it into small pieces by hand to make it easier for the fairies to eat.

“Candy, ippi!”

“Thank you, eppi!”

While the fairies were distracted by the candy, I moved around the garden to remove weeds.

Every time I took a break, I looked at Alfred.

He was clumsy, but he didn’t rest and carefully cleared away the weeds.

At first, I thought he was just an arrogant and lazy aristocrat, but he looked sincere while doing the things I asked him to do, even though he was forced to do.

My current impression is, he’s not a bad guy.

At that moment I thought, it might be better for Alfred to stay on the farm.

The thought quickly sank deep into my consciousness at the voices of the fairies calling,

“Sihyeon, Sihyeon ippi!”

“What’s this ippi?”

“Huh.., it’s honey from the bees.”

I opened the lid of the barrel slightly and showed it to the fairies.

Then the fairies gathered excitedly, saying.

“We can help Sihyeon, eppi….Wait a minute, eppi”

The fairies gathered and danced round and round on the barrel of honey.

The glittering powder from their bodies fell onto the honey.

The glittering powder slowly seeped into the honey.

The sweet scent became stronger, and the pleasant scent of flowers spread out.

“Thank you guys.”

“Hehe, I’m glad Sihyeon liked it, eppi”

The fairies flew around me with joy.

Then a fairy kissed my right cheek.

“Oh I kissed…I kissed Sihyeon eppi.”

“ Aiii…I’m going to kiss too, ippi”

The kiss craze caused by a fairy got calmed down only after all the fairies kissed me.

If the jealous had Gyuri seen it, she would have gotten really angry.

After finishing the garden work, we headed back to the farm building with the fairies seeing us off.

Alfred must have worked really hard, thus his face and clothes were covered with dust.

“Here, take this.”

“….?”

“I looked around the garden earlier and picked out only ripe strawberries. Taste it after you wash it .”

I handed over a small bag of strawberries I picked up in the garden.

Alfred looked down at the bag, and asked with a sullen look.

“Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?”

“No, well… I’m not being nice to you. You look tired. So I was wondering if I…..had…. made you work too hard recently…”

Alfred burst into laughter at my excuse.

It was the first time I saw him smile since he arrived at the farm.

“The person who made the Yakums chase me and enjoyed watching it, is worrying about me. Do you want me to believe that.?”

“…”

My conscience got stabbed and I couldn’t answer anything.

Alfred, who burst into laughter again seeing my reaction, snatched the strawberry bag from my hand.

“Don’t worry about it. It didn’t bother me that much, and I’m not that much tired either.”

“…?”

“It’s…… just that I started to see things I haven’t seen before since I have working hard and hectic.”

I felt a sense of emptiness and relief on his face, as if he was talking to himself.

“Thank you for the strawberries.”

Alfred walked out first, waving the bag of strawberries in his hand.

Looking at his back like that I thought that Alfred might not be as bad as I thought.

Time flew by, and a month had passed since Alfred arrived.
