How to get Healed at Demon Farm

Chapter 109

KACHACK! 

TAC TAC TAC! 

Small footsteps could be heard as soon as I opened the door. 

A smile has already formed around my mouth, recalling the owners of those cute steps. 

"Papa Papa Papa!" 

Pow wow woooo! 

It's Sihyeon, Popi! 

The children hugged me as soon as they saw me without giving me time to take off my shoes. 

I hurriedly put the ice cream I bought on the floor and hugged the children. 

Ooooo! Guys, I have to take off my shoes. 

While saying embarrassingly, the corners of my mouth went up endlessly to the point of touching the earlobes. 

Did you wait a long time for me?

Un! I've been waiting for Papa. 

Pow wo woooooo woooo 

I was so bored without Sihyeon, Popi. 

Really? I should have returned sooner.

The children's answers made all the tiredness disappear in an instant.

Wouldn't this moment be one of the top three moments when parents feel proud?

Hahaha. I dont know how the kiddos let you go to work in the morning?" 

Ho-ho-ho. Seems like Sihyeon won't be able to come inside for a while. 

Um, hmm.

With the appearance of Yerin and my mother, I controlled my facial expression belatedly.

I felt very embarrassed. 

You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Drop the kids off and go wash up. I'll prepare dinner for you in a minute.

Okay. Guys, I'm going to wash up. 

I dropped off the clingy children and headed to the bathroom.

When I came out of the shower, my mother prepared dinner for me.

As soon as I sat down at the table, the children rushed up to me with ice cream.

Didn't you guys eat dinner? 

I did. Can I eat ice cream next to Papa? 

Speranza looked up at me with sparkling eyes.

Then shall we eat together? 

I hugged Speranza and sat on the chair with the children on my laps.

Wouldn't it be inconvenient to eat? Do you want me to keep them?

It's okay mom. We can eat slowly.

While I was having dinner, the children started eating ice cream next to me.

It was a bead ice cream that Gyuri wanted to eat in the morning.

I bought enough because I thought they liked it a lot, but the children didn't get greedy and took out only one bead ice cream.

It warmed my heart just to see them huddle together and share. 

My mother and Yerin also watched the children with a similar expression as I did. 

After dinner, which was uncomfortable but happy, I threw myself on the couch in the living room. 

Of course, there were children on both sides of me. 

So I did puzzles with Sister Yerin and played with dolls, Papa. 

Pow wo woooo. 

We made that up there. Popi! It's so hard to make, Popi!

The children chattered nonstop about everything that happened today.

I was worried a lot, but I felt comfortable since they had a more fun day than I thought. 

Yerin, on the other hand, looked at this side with a sullen expression. 

What's wrong with your expression?

Ahhhh! I thought I got really close to the kids since I played so hard today. But, as soon as you came, they didn't care about me. 

Her jealous grumble made me burst into a small laugh.

Hohoho, kids love me so much. What can you do except be jealous?

Ah, I'm so angry! I was going to make you cry today by completely luring the kids into my charms! 

That cant happen even in your dreams! Still, you tried. I'll give you a round of applause in that regard.

I clapped while sitting in a bossy pose.

Yerin trembled with anger at my bluffing expression. 

Oh, I hate you, I hate you! 

While teasing Yerin like that, it was already time for the children to go to bed. 

Yerin prepared to leave with an expression of great regret.

I'll be on my way. I have a guild raid scheduled for tomorrow.

Are you not going to take what you brought today?

I brought it all for the kids anyway. Don't worry about it. Take it. 

There were a lot of expensive-looking toys, and quite a lot of things left unopened.

It wouldn't have been easy to deal with the children all day, so I felt a little sorry for teasing Yerin earlier. 

However, Yerin rather broke out in a sigh full of regret.

Ah! If it was not for the guild raid, I would have spent a lot more time with the kids. Its so sad. Just tomorrow! Shall I take a break?

Can the self-proclaimed ace of Guardians Guild fall out of the guild raid so easily?

Of course not. The guild master won't let me go. 

Yerin headed to the front door with a sullen look on her face. 

I'm leaving, Aunt Saya. 

Okay, Yerin. Thank you for helping with the kids today. Proceed safely with tomorrow's guild raid.

While Yerin greeted my mother, I lowered down and whispered something to the children.

At the end of my words, the children nodded and moved toward the front door. 

Sister Yerin ! 

Huh? Speranza, why did you call me? 

Yerin lowered her head and looked at Speranza. 

Thank you for playing with me today.

!! 

I had a lot of fun today, Popi! Let's play together again next time, Popi! 

Pow wo woooo!

The children thanked and hugged Yerin.

She looked blank for a moment, and then a bright smile spread on her face. 

No, I'm more grateful. Next time you come over to grandma's house, will you play with me again? 

Yes! 

Promise! Popi.

Wo woooooo! 

Yerin hugged the children tightly. 

I was so moved that my eyes were teary. 

While Yerin poked out her tongue slightly with a look of annoyance, I laughed while thinking of the efforts she had put into taking care of the children instead of me today.

Yerin said a sad goodbye to the children and left the front door.

I poked my face out of the door and called her. 

Yerin, there's something I forgot to tell you. 

What is it?

Well I think I explained it logically and reasonably. But they don't think so. 

?

Prepare for a rough ride in the guild tomorrow.

What, what? What happened? 

Good luck. 

Hey, hey! Lim Sihyeon! 

And I calmly closed the door.

When I recalled what happened in the car on my way home today 

ugh! I'm still sick of it.

I can't say Yerin isn't entirely responsible either, so I'll leave the rest to her and I'm on real vacation from tomorrow!! 

The next day. 

The real vacation morning dawned. 

I woke up very relaxed after a long time and had a late breakfast.

The children were hooked on a children's program broadcast on TV. 

I lay behind the children and fiddled with my smartphone.

I spent time browsing through Internet articles and looking at interesting posts. 

Si, are you going to stay home? 

Huh? Why mom?

I thought the kids would feel bored since they stayed home all day yesterday, right? 

Yesterday, I was away, so I tried to take care of the children at home.

Since they are children who play freely on the farm, I thought they might really be bored as my mother said.

We were originally planning to go out together tomorrow

Maybe it's not bad to go on a walk in the streets around the house for a while today? 

I spoke to the children who were watching TV in a daze. 

Guys, who want to go out with me? 

SWOOSH! 

The children turned their heads toward me as if they were waiting and glinted. 

Speranza and Akum twirled their tails of joy, and glittering powder spread around Gyuri. 

Are we going out papa? 

Pow wooooo? 

Where are we going, Popi? 

No one can resist the urge to go out while looking at excited kids? 

I slowly rose and stretched.

I felt a little refreshed as the crumpled feeling disappeared.

Come on, let's get ready to go out together. You have to be clean while going out.

We couldn't go out looking disheveled, so I started grooming the children. 

First, I washed Speranza, and then I brushed her fur neatly.  Gyuri just watched from the side. 

The fairy didn't seem to need much preparation. 

Speranza, do you like it?

Un.

My mother braided Speranza's hair in pigtails using a hair tie. 

She just changed her hairstyle, but I felt a really different cuteness. 

Wearing a light white dress, I put a hat on her head to cover the fox girl's ears. 

After getting ready to go out, my mother brought out a puppy stroller from somewhere. 

Where'd you get that? 

Yeah, I recently bought it second-hand. The person who lives around here offered me a good deal.

Uh Mom, you cant trust things like that these days?" 

Shush! I'm sure I know much better than you.

I felt a little embarrassed as I got scolded by my mom like a kid.

Okay. Let's go out in a stroller. 

Pow wooooo! 

The baby Yakum wept excitedly as soon as he saw the stroller. 

I want to get in the stroller, too! Popi. 

Gyuri got on the stroller with Akum. 

Speranza came next to me and held my hand. 

I came out of the front door with the children and mother. 

Unlike the cool weather at Demon Farm, the sun felt hot as it was early summer weather here.

I didn't set a destination in particular, so I just strolled around the streets near our house. 

Papa, papa! What's this? 

Speranza showed curiosity as she looked at the bicycle lying nearby. 

This? This is called a bicycle. If you press the pedal below, you can move fast. 

Wow Can I try the bi..cicle?"

This is a bicycle with an owner, so no. What did I say about taking other peoples stuff?

Its bad.

Yeah, Speranza is such a nice kid. I'll let you ride a bike later, okay. 

Un, Yes papa! 

Speranza listens to her dad very well, and she's so nice. I should compliment my granddaughter, too. 

Hehe! 

Even though she was a little disappointed that she can't ride a bike, Speranza quickly smiled brightly at my mother's and my praise. 

Sihyeon, Sihyeon! What's that, popi? 

Pow wo woooo?

Grandma! What's that green thing over there? 

Even though we were just walking down a very ordinary street, all of these things seemed curious, interesting, and fascinating to the kids.

Everything from shop signs, crosswalks, traffic lights, and even ordinary passers-by. 

All attracted the attention of the children. 

My mother and I walked slowly down the street, explaining this and that to the children. 

Even though it was a place where I walked through many times, I felt new today because I was with the children.

There were not many people on the street since it was a weekday morning.

Still, people we encountered while walking on the street looked at Speranza and the stroller at least once.

Sometimes, women came close and said they were cute. 

While walking around the quiet street, I found a small bookstore. 

Mom, shall we stop by the bookstore? 

Bookstore?

Yes, I want to buy some books so that I can read bedtime stories to Speranza. 

That would be nice. 

My mother agreed with my opinion and we headed to the bookstore together. 

When I peeked inside the store through the transparent glass, a 30-something owner was sitting inside the store.

I carefully opened the door and spoke to the owner. 

Hello? The store is open, right?

Yes! Welcome.

By the way there's a little furry animal, can I bring him in with me? 

I don't have any other customers right now, so it's okay. Come in.

Fortunately, the owner of the bookstore happily allowed Akum to enter.

After expressing my gratitude to the owner, I entered the bookstore with the children and mother.
