Kaneff erupted in anger upon hearing the contents of the letter.
Andras appeared equally stunned.
The letter stated that instead of being given the Divine Beast, I was instructed to use Ashmir and Urki as labor.
On the surface, it seemed like a reasonable offer, as I would be taking care of the Divine Beast and was provided with two workers to assist.
However, the issue was I had never worked with Angels, I was worried about whether they could work properly on the farm in the first place.
"Is there a problem with the letter?" Ashmir asked.
"Not exactly a problem, but do you really want to work here?" I replied.
"Yes, we agreed that it's the only way to repay Sihyeon's debt."
"The only way? Did you consider any other options?"
"We thought about offering jewelry or financial compensation, but we don't think that would be acceptable to Sihyeon."
"Well that's true."
As she said, such compensation was meaningless to me.
I'm not short of money, and I didn't have a hobby of collecting jewelry.
Ashmir continued to look at me, as if trying to understand my hesitation.
I couldn't help but be honest with her.
"To be honest, I've never worked with Angels before and I'm worried about you two adapting to farm work," I admitted.
"Being an Angel isn't a big deal. You already live and work with Demons, don't you?" Ashmir pointed out.
"That's true," I agreed.
"Just like the others here, we'll need time to adjust. But give us a chance, and we'll be able to contribute in no time," Ashmir assured me.
I couldn't argue with Ashmir's logic and nodded in agreement.
"And when it comes to sincerity and responsibility, we Angels will never fall behind the Demons,"
Whoa! Such a racist remark is a bit dangerous
"Are you saying that the Demons are less responsible and lazy than the Angels?"
"I can't just listen to this,"
Before I could say anything, Andras and Kaneff went off in a fit of rage.
Ashmir replied calmly, still expressionless.
"I had no intention of belittling Demons. I just stated the facts."
"This arrogant Angel"
However, Ashmir's answer only fueled the fire.
I thought I would be in big trouble if I left it like this.
I realized that if I didn't do something, the situation would escalate.
"Can we all just stop this? There's no need to compare Angels and Demons."
"SIHYEON, don't tell me you're on the side of the Angels, are you?"
"What? When did I side with the Angels?"
"Then you tell them yourself. How responsible and sincere the Demons are!"
Boss
I dont know how to put responsibility and sincerity, and Kaneff in the same sentence.
Though I can't judge the whole Demon race hastily.
If there was a point for responsibility and sincerity, Im sure Kaneff would get only an average score.
Before more emotional words could come out between the Demons and Angels, I tried to change the topic.
"But is it okay for the Angels to stay in the Demon world as they want? Shouldn't you get permission from the superiors of this world?"
"We've taken care of that. We sought approval from the Demon Lord Castle before arriving here and they stated that they would not interfere as long as Sihyeon permits it," Ashmir replied.
"Hmm"
I wasn't sure if the Demon Lord Castle was being considerate or just delegating the responsibility to me, but either way, they seemed to be leaving the decision in my hands.
I had a lot to think about.
The farm was definitely understaffed.
Everyone, including myself, was doing what we could to compensate for the shortage, but it wouldn't be sustainable if the workload continued to increase.
Moreover, we couldn't bring in new workers due to the unique situation of the farm and it was challenging to bring in outsiders because of the close relationships among the current members.
I looked over at Andras, who was seated opposite me.
Lilia, who had just informed me that I was the last, looked confused when she saw the two Angels behind me.
