As Speranza wiggled her tail and ran away, Akum and the baby griffins started chasing her.
Grify and Finny, who are still full of fluff, have become healthy enough to run around.
Speranza, who was running, was quickly caught up.
Cute Beasts rushed at the fox girl who fell on the lawn.
POW WO WOOOOO
Biiip!
Biiiiiip!
“Hahahaha! It tickles you guys!”
Speranza’s bright laughter spread gently around the farm.
A smile slowly spread around my mouth watching the scene.
“Senior, how on earth do kids get that energy out of that little body?”
“Well, they say a child’s physical strength is infinite. If they jump around like that and take a nap after eating, they’ll recharge their stamina in no time.”
“I’m proud of my stamina, but I don’t think I can withstand the infinite physical strength of the children.”
Alfred shook his head with a dispirited smile.
I nodded slowly as if I agreed with his reaction.
As a person who had suffered many times while playing with children, I couldn’t help but sympathize with him.
“But I’m glad, Speranza seems to be very happy. What would have happened if you didn’t bring those little griffins?”
“Geez, do you think it was a piece of cake to bring them here? I almost got caught as an intruder by the Barbatos soldiers.”
“Hahaha, I heard it from Andras. Once again Senior got into trouble for poking his nose into an issue that has got nothing to do with you, right?”
“Ahhh! Stop it! You sound like Boss. It’s not like I got into trouble because I wanted to…”
I hid my embarrassed expression and blurred my words.
Even thinking about it now, it was a really nerve-racking moment.
If I hadn’t woken up Lord Barbatos in time, I might have been spending my days in the Barbatos family’s dungeon.
“But I think I got the best result because I took that risk. Lord Barbatos got cured, and I was able to bring the cute little griffins back to the farm.”
“That’s true. The more I get to know about Senior, the stranger you get. This time, you even solved the secret curse of the Barbatos family.
“I don’t know if that’s a good thing. I hope I don’t get into trouble later on…”
When Andras and I were about to leave the Barbatos family, Godmother Diana held our hands and begged us to stay for a few more days.
But I refused as politely as I could and returned to the farm.
The reason was I was worried about the farm and wanted to see Speranza quickly, but in the corner of my heart, I was more worried that I would get involved in something more troublesome.
As Lord Barbatos said, I’m holding on to their family’s weakness.
‘Ahhhh… don’t tell me something really bothersome is going to happen?’
“Papa Papa!”
Pow wo wooo
Biip! –
Biip!
I woke up from the thought of the Barbatus family at the sound of children coming from nearby.
A fox girl, a baby Yakum, and two baby Griffins came up to me and looked up at me with sparkling eyes.
I understood how excitedly they rolled on the floor, looking at the dust, grass, and small branches that were sticking to their body.
I quickly realized that it was not the time to be worrying about the Barbatos family.
The thought of washing the cute children one by one made me dizzy.
Everyone looks so innocent…as if they are expecting a compliment for getting covered in dust.
The children’s expressions were so bright that I was suspicious of them for a moment.
Maybe they are putting on a bright expression to avoid getting scolded.
But still, who can be angry when they see children who look so happy?
I let out a small sigh of resignation and soon smiled.
“Did you have fun?”
“Yes!”
Pow wo wooo
Biip!
Biip!
“I’m glad you had fun. Then shall we wash up before we eat snacks?”
“Un, I will. Grandma said I should always wash up before I eat!”
“Speranza is a good girl. You remember well what grandma said.”
“Hehehe.”
When I patted her head with praise, Speranza pricked her ears and smiled bashfully.
Pow wo wooo
Biip.
Biipiiiip!
Feeling jealous that Speranza was the only one who got complimented, the other three babies also drew attention by crying.
I smiled and stroked them one by one.
“Okay. If you want to be a good kid, you also have to wash up cleanly. Got it?”
Pow wo wooo
Biip!
Biip!
Akum, Grify, and Finny, who were trying to be good kids, answered vigorously.
By the way, How long will it take to wash all these kids?
How am I going to wash and dry them all by myself?
While thinking about what to do with the children’s bath, I heard the sound of someone sneaking away from the side.
“Hey, you there! Stop moving!”
“Huh?”
“Where are you going so quietly behind my back?”
“Hah Senior! I had some stuff to do in the strawberry field today, but I forgot. I’ll be right back…”
“You’ve already finished it in the morning. Stop making excuses and help me bathe the kids. If we do it together, we’ll be able to finish it quickly.”
Alfred dropped his head down when he realized he couldn’t get out of it.
“You help me with other things. Why are you so reluctant to bathe children?”
“It’s scary, Senior. What if something goes wrong while they’re taking a bath?”
“What’s wrong with you? Just do it like you normally wash up. Just remember to set the temperature of the water and dry the hair well to avoid catching a cold.”
I led Alfred and the children to the farm building.
“Isn’t the wind hot, sir?”
I asked as if I had become the hair salon staff while drying Akum’s hair with a dryer.
Pow woooooo……
The hot wind made Akum give a hazy cry, maybe he is in a good mood.
When every corner of his white hair was dried well, a subtle scent spread around.
I used a new pet shampoo that had little stimulation, and it seemed to have had a better performance than I thought.
“Okay! It’s over.”
Pow wo woooo.
“It feels refreshing and nice to wash it clean, right?”
I felt a pleasant softness on my fingertips as I stroked the hair of little Akum.
“Shall we all go eat snacks now?”
“Wow! Snacks!”
Pow woo woooo
Biip!
Biiiip!
Speranza, who washed up first, ran downstairs in joy.
Akim and the baby Griffins followed her immediately.
As the children stepped out at the same time, the pleasant scent floated in the room for a while.
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.”
Thanks to Alfred’s help, I was able to finish the children’s bath faster than I thought.
“Ugh! It was so hard, Senior.”
“Why are you exaggerating? Lia took care of Speranza’s bath, and you only bathed the small Grify and Finny.”
“It bothers me more because they’re small! Do you know how worried I was? I thought they might get hurt if I did something wrong.”
Alfred has more delicate worries than I thought.
I patted him on the shoulder a few times to encourage him.
“That was good enough. That’s enough of the moaning, and let’s go get some snacks.”
“Yes…”
I reached out to Alfred, who was sitting on the floor.
I helped him get up, and we went down to the first floor together.
The sound of the crowd was heard from the hallway in front of the living room.
When I entered the living room, unexpected guests had arrived.
“Sihyeon and Elaine are here. Come and have some snacks. I’ll get you some hot tea in a minute.”
“Oh, you’re here?”
Lia and Kaneff first spotted us and talked to us.
And next to them were Ryan and Andras, and Bebeto of the Barbados family.
” Andras and Ryan, when did you guys come?
Andras left early this morning saying he had something to do in Demon Lord Castle.
Ryan was not in the usual human appearance, he was in the appearance of a Demon with horns.
“I just got back from work. I was also in the Demon Lord Castle, and I came here with Andras since I had some news to tell Sihyeon.”
News to tell me?
I was curious about the news that Ryan was talking about, but I nodded and turned my attention to Bebeto next to him.
“Mr. Bebeto…”
“You can call me just Bebeto, Sir. Sihyeon.”
“Ummm… What brings Bebeto here?”
“I came to see you because I have to tell you something under the order of our Lord.”
What day is it today?
Why did everyone come at the same time?
Looking at the atmosphere, it didn’t seem like bad news.
I sat on the empty seat with a light heart.
Today’s snack was a set of Korean sweets that I brought.
Not only the farm members but also Speranza and other Demons had Korean sweets in their mouths.
Soon after, Lia brought a warm tea and served it to everyone.
I asked Ryan while eating the snack.
“It’s nice to get together like this after a long time. What’s going on all of a sudden? Did you visit Demon Lord Castle again?”
“Yes. I went to Castle in person because I had something important to finish. The news I want to tell Sihyeon is also related to it.”
“……?”
“Finally, Sihyeon’s territory, Cardis territory, is completely confirmed!”
“What?”
I tilted my head slightly because I didn’t really understand what Ryan meant.
Wasn’t it decided when I went to the Demon Lord Castle?
As if guessing my question, Andras continued his additional explanation.
“Sihyeon has been recognized by the Great Lord as a peerage and the authority of a lord, but details of the territory have not yet been finalized. In particular, in the case of Sihyeon, it took a little longer because the Great Lord got involved in finalizing things.”
“I see.”
I nodded calmly.
It was good news, but it was not as surprising as the time when I got appointed as the lord of a territory.
“Now the official certification of the Cardis estate will arrive from the Castle. I think we should be preparing for that.”
“Preparing for what?”
The answer to my question came from Kaneff, who was leisurely tasting the sweets, not Andras or Ryan.
“Of course, it’s your Lordship Swearing-in Ceremony.”
