Chapter 222: 222

Light gathered and created a screen in the air. There was a reflection of Lord Barbatos in front of me.

He looked at me with a bright expression.

– Oh! Lord Cardis, how are you?

“Yeah… well, what can I say…..?”

I went on with a slightly sour look.

“Maybe because of someone who left me with a troublesome job, I’m not feeling very good.”

It may sound a little rude, but Lord Barbatos burst out laughing.

– Hahaha! As a person who runs an Estate, you need to have confidence in yourself, Lord Cardis. What can I do? Since it was a problem which I can’t find a solution to, I have to ask for the help of a capable person…. Like you!!

I shook my head at his sly reply.

– How are the children of my family doing? I hope no one’s causing any trouble.

“Everything is fine. The twins are completely adapted to the farm and are busy playing every day, and Amy is… well, anyway, everyone is fine.”

I stopped giving details about Amy, who was enjoying the lovely-dovely life.

I was not tactless enough to inform an adult of someone else’s personal love story.

– Is that so? Erma would be a little upset if she hears that the twins are doing fine without her. Hahaha

After a short conversation about how everything was going, Lord Barbatos asked me with a more serious look.

– Since lord Cardis has contacted me, does that mean you have made your decision on the Barbatos Successor?

“Is there any decision to make? I think the answer is already out there.”

When I gave a suspicious look, Lord Barbatos replied with a sly attitude.

– What!? I can’t believe the answer was out. I don’t know what you’re talking about

“Don’t pretend you don’t know. In the first place, there is only one person who is suitable for that position.”

He sent candidates to me, saying that I had to choose the family’s successor, but in fact, there was only one person who was suitable for the Successor position.

Amy, who fell head over heels for Andras, was not interested in the Successor position, and the twins were too young to be Successors. Only Crosel was fit to be a Successor.

In the few days I stayed with Crosel on the farm, I understood that he was a very diligent and sincere person.

There was no arrogance, unique to that of aristocrats, and he did not treat the farm members disrespectfully.

To me, Crosel seemed most suited for the Successor position.

But his father is Yagier.

He’s the son of a man who was arrested for treason.

Sometimes in historical dramas, treason was considered a serious crime, and every single person related by blood to the one involved in treason is killed.

However, Lord Barbatos sent Crosel here as a candidate for the Successor position.

At first, I didn’t understand the meaning, but as time passed, I vaguely understood his intention.

“Are you sure you’re okay with it?”

– What do you mean?

“Is it really okay for Crosel to be the Successor of the Barbatos family?”

Lord Barbatos calmly answered my question.

– I don’t care about it. Rather, that’s the question I want to ask you. What do you think about Crosel becoming the Successor of the family?

“I… I don’t think it’ll matter much.”

– Then, can I take it as the relationship between you and Barbatos will remain the same even if Crosel becomes the next Lord of Barbatos?

As expected.

The Barbatos family was not asking me to choose a Successor. To be exact, they were asking for my permission to recognize Crosel as the successor.

Lord Barbatos seem to want me to have a long-lasting relationship with the Barbatos family, and he was worried that I would be dissatisfied if Crosel was chosen as the successor.

“If Crosell becomes the Successor to the family, won’t there be many people inside the family who would feel uncomfortable? I think many people would openly oppose it.”

– I’ll have to do something about it. And it’s something Crosel has to overcome.

“What would you have done if I had chosen Amy or the twins as Successors on purpose?”

– What would I have done? Even if it’s late, I would have started educating the child you recommended as a Successor.

“Huh…”

When my face expressed how absurd I felt, Lord Barbatos smiled and said.

– Barbatos still needs your support. For the future of the Barbatos, I don’t mind changing the Successor.

“….”

– And I did this because I believed you would make a reasonable decision. I thought you are someone who could be moved by people’s hearts, and I was sure that you’re not strong enough to hold a grudge against someone.”

I said with a slight frown.

“It…seems like a compliment, but why do I feel like you are treating me like a pushover.”

-Haha! It’s just imagination! All I did was praise  Lord Cardis.

Lord Barbatos burst out laughing as if he felt my reaction was funny.

The longer he laughed, the more my expression distorted.

– Anyway, thank you very much. For accepting my unreasonable request.

“I’m glad it helped.”

– I hope I can pay off this debt soon. If you need any support, contact us anytime. I’ll keep everything aside if it’s your request.

Thus, the issue of Barbatos’ successor got quietly concluded.

Naturally, the Successor candidates who stayed on the farm also returned.

Even though it was a short time, the twins shed tears on the day of leaving the farm.

I guess they attached themself to the farm a lot and didn’t want to go back.

The maid, who was next to them, was bewildered by the rare outburst of their emotions.

Speranza and I comforted them by hugging them for quite a while.

Only after promising that they could come to the farm anytime, the twins stopped crying.

Amy stuck with Andras until just before she left.

Andras was also depressed as soon as he heard the news of Amy’s departure.

After a brief farewell to the farm members, Crosel looked at me for the last time. His eyes were mixed with various emotions.

I looked at him and smiled lightly. Then he opened his eyes wide for a moment, as if surprised, and smiled faintly looking at me.

Before leaving, he bowed to me with a heart filled with gratitude.

The people from the Barbatos family left as they came, and the normal daily life returned to the farm.

I headed for the farm in a hurry from the strawberry field.

As soon as the farm building became visible from a distance, I found someone standing in front of the fence.

The back of the big, dark hooded figure was very familiar to me now.

“Andras!”

Andras did not respond to my loud voice.

I hurried to the fence where he was standing, thinking that he was too far to hear me.

Even though I came quite close, he was still staring blankly at the meadow beyond the fence, not bothered by my call.

“Andras! Andras!”

After repeatedly calling a few times, Andras turned and looked back at me with a very awkward expression.

“…Were you calling me?”

“Who else would I be calling Andras, besides you? Are you still spacing out thinking about Amy?”

“I’m sorry, but I….”

“Ah! Okay. I’ll stop teasing you about Amy. More than that, there’s a problem with the magic device in the strawberry storage. Can you hurry up and take a look at it?”

Andras, who seemed different from his usual self, glistened at the word that there was a problem with the magic device.

“What’s the problem?”

“The temperature doesn’t seem to be maintained in the oldest storage. It was working well until yesterday, but today it suddenly became weird.”

“Hmm. I think I’ll have to check it out myself. Could you take me to the strawberry storage?”

‘What’s happening? Why does he want me to take him to the strawberry storage?’

I didn’t know what was wrong with Andras today, but it was important to solve the urgent problem, so I didn’t think much about it.

“Okay, let’s go together,”

I headed to the strawberry storage facility with the strange Andras.

Near the storage facility, Beast-people were standing with worried expressions.

Although the strawberries remained fresher than ordinary strawberries due to the influence of fairies, the strawberry itself is a fruit that was not easy to store.

If the magic device in the storeroom breaks down like this, the commercialization of strawberries may get greatly affected.

Elder Poco, who was in charge of the strawberry field, came running with a pale face.

“My lord.”

“Don’t worry. Elder Poco, I brought Andras, and he’ll solve the problem right away.”

After relieving the restless Elder Poco, I headed inside the storage facility with Andras.

Andras began to look at the magic devices installed in the storage. As he walked around, he approached Elder Poco and asked.

“Are the other storages operating normally?”

“Yes. Everything is normal except here.”

Andras nodded a little as if he knew something.

“I don’t think you took into account the overload that would get added due to the expansion of the facility. I think I need to fix the mana circuit that connects those vaults.”

“Is it a serious problem?”

“Fortunately, it’s not at a serious level. With a little adjustment, it will soon be normal. Instead, you will have to pay more attention to circuit design the next time you add more facilities.”

Elder Poco breathed a sigh of relief when he was told that it was not a serious problem.

“Please wait a little bit. I’ll adjust the mana circuit in a minute.”

Andras, who finished the explanation, immediately began to work on the magic device.

While working he murmured in a small voice that could hardly be heard.

“Still making these rudimentary mistakes…”

I and Elder Poco slipped out of the storage facility so as not to interfere with the work.

As soon as I came out of the entrance, a cat girl ran toward me and hugged me.

“Uncle!”

“Oh! Miru! Were you waiting?”

“Yes. Is the storage okay? Can you fix it right away?”

Not only Miru in my arms but also the other Beast-people were waiting for my answer with worried faces.

I smiled to make them feel relieved.

“Yes, we can fix it quickly. So you don’t have to worry too much.”

As soon as they heard my answer, a sigh of relief and a small exclamation flowed out from the crowd.

Miru, who was relieved like everyone, looked over my shoulder toward the vault.

“Uncle. That is Big uncle Andras, right?”

“Yes. He’s fixing a broken device inside. Why?”

“Uh…”

Miru kept tilting her head with an expression saying something was strange.

The reaction continued until Andras came out of the storage room.

After successfully repairing the storage, I headed back to the farm with Andras.

Andras had a basket full of fresh strawberries in his arms.

“I’m glad it’s not a big problem. Thank you for your hard work, Andras.”

Andras nodded as he ate the strawberry in the basket.

“Were you hungry? You are eating a lot of strawberries today?”

It was like he was eating the strawberries for the first time.

At that time, when I was wondering about what was wrong with him, a familiar voice came from afar.

“Sihyeon!”

“…?!”

Andras came running from afar while calling my name.

…….Huh?

“You two were together. I’ve been looking for you.”

“There was a problem with the cooling device in the storage facility…”

“What? You should have told me, I’d have come sooner.”

“Uh… I told you…”

“What…? When…? “

The new Andras looked puzzled.

Realizing something was wrong, I pointed to Andras, who was eating strawberries.

“Hey… who’s this?”

“Oh! Haven’t you guys been introduced to each other?”

“…?”

Andras hurriedly introduced the unidentified person.

“This is my father, the Lord of the Schnarpe family.”

“What?”

While I was surprised by the sudden revelation, Lord Schnarpe smiled faintly while mumbling the strawberries.
