I was startled by the sudden statement and action, and looked down.
"What? Do you want to follow Papa? Do you even know where Papa is going right now?"
"Yes, I know. You're going to meet the fairies in the Vision world, aren't you?"
Speranza accurately answered, even using the term Vision World,' as if she had been waiting for the moment I would go to meet the fairies.Reêad latest novels at novel35.com
However, I still couldn't take Speranza to the Vision World.
No, you can't."
"Why?"
"Speranza, don't you remember the last time you went to the Vision world with me and collapsed? What if something dangerous like that happens again?"
Once before, all the farm members went to the Vision world together. However, while we were there, Speranza, who had been perfectly fine, suddenly fainted in the Vision world.
When I think of that time. Ugh! I could still feel my heart beating loudly. Not only me, but even other farm members were also greatly shocked.
After that scary incident, I made a firm decision not to take Speranza to Vision World again.
Even though we weren't sure what had caused her to faint, Speranza's safety was my top priority, and I wasn't going to risk it.
"I can't do that because I'm worried something dangerous might happen to Speranza again. No father in the world would take his beautiful and precious daughter to a risky place like that."
I tried to put on a more serious expression than usual. But then Speranza started to look around and spoke up as if she had thought of something.
That, back then Thats right! I suddenly got hungry and passed out. I ate a lot today, so I'll be fine."
This cunning little girl tried to dodge the issue with a plausible excuse.
However, there was one thing Speranza didn't know well.
On the day she collapsed, the farm members went above and beyond to find the cause of Speranza's collapse, checking even the smallest and most trivial things.
What clothes and shoes she wore when she woke up in the morning, whether she overexerted herself or not, etc.
To ensure Speranza's safety, they checked every small detail.
Of course, they were already aware of how much and what kind of food she ate that day.
"Ahem! Are you lying to Papa? You not only ate your meals properly that day but also stuffed yourself with cake."
"Uh!"
When her hastily thought-out excuse didn't work on me, Speranza's expression darkened, and her fox ears drooped.
"Umm"
"I'll finish my work quickly and come back to play with you then. So just wait here"
"Guys, help me!"
Huh?
Who is she asking for help from?
-Da-da-da-dat!
-Da-da-da-dat!
As soon as Speranza asked for help, the sound of small footsteps approached. The owners of those footsteps rushed straight toward me.
-Pow wo woooo!
-Biip! Biip!
-Biip!
"Aaah! You, you guys!"
Akum, Grify, and Finny.
In an instant, I was knocked down by the three beasts.
"You guys also want to play with the fairies, right?"
-Pow woo woooo!
-Biip!
-Biip!
The animals seemed to support Speranza's words with their cries.
I want to introduce Speranza to my fairy friends too, Popi!
Out of nowhere, Gyuri popped up, buzzin' around me, doing her best to get Speranza into the Vision world.
"Ugh I told you it's not happening."
-Pow woo woooo!
-Biip!
-Biiiiip!
When I wasn't giving in, they all went full-on "attack mode."
"Heh, what do you take me for, nyaa? I know everything happening around here, nyaa,"
After showing off for a moment, Cheese continued the conversation.
"Are you planning on leaving Speranza behind, nyaa?"
"You heard me earlier, it's not that simple to just let Speranza go because they want to play with the fairies," I replied.
"In my opinion, it's better to take Speranza, nyaa."
"What?"
I was surprised at Cheese's suggestion, and even Lia and Ashmir were listening carefully.
"I don't think the thing you're worried about will happen, nyaa. So just let Speranza do what she wants, nyaa."
"What do you mean"
I looked at Cheese with bewildered eyes. Cheese's eyes weren't their usual lazy ones; they were very serious and deep.
"How can you be so sure? Do you know something?"
"Do you remember when I left the snowy mountain and came here, nyaa?"
"I remember."
It was when we went to help Lia's hometown.
Cheese and I first met on a snowy mountain not too long ago, and we quickly became friends. Cheese eventually followed me to the farm.
It wasn't that long ago, so I still vividly remembered what happened then.
"You opened the door to Vision world to bring those furry guys to the farm, and at that time, I also went to Vision world, nyaa."
Ah, that's right.
We used Vision world to bring the Yakum group to the farm all at once.
As I recalled that memory, I suddenly remembered that Cheese and Speranza had acted strangely in Vision world.
"Was the strange behavior you showed back then because you found something out?"
"I don't know everything, nyaa. But I did notice that there's a deep connection between Speranza and the Vision World, nyaa."
But why do I have to take Speranza there?
"You may not know this, but a mysterious power is growing within that child, nyaa. The collapse back then was due to her clumsy way of handling that power, nyaa."
"Mysterious power?"
"Yes, nyaa. If left unchecked, that power might be bad news for Speranza, nyaa."
Cheese's words were kinda hard to swallow.
However, deep down, I felt there was some truth to it. I also didn't feel that Cheese was lying.
Feeling slightly overwhelmed, I glanced at Speranza.
The cute fox girl still only had her heart set on playing with the fairies and didn't seem to have any interest in Cheese's complicated story.
From my perspective, that actually made me feel more at ease.
I turned my gaze back to Cheese, stared blankly at him for a moment, and then opened my mouth as if I was hypnotized.
"Cheese."
"Sihyeon, you have to trust me, nyaa."
"No, it's not that."
"Nyaa?"
"Did you put on weight?"
What kinda question is that, nyaa?!
It was an ill-fitting topic for the serious atmosphere, but I couldn't let it slide.
"No way, nyaa. I'm still the same, nyaa!"
"What do you mean the same? You've packed on the pounds like a kid left with their grandparents over winter break."
I reached out and felt Cheese's neck and back. Even with just a light touch, I could feel the chubbiness.
When Cheese first showed up at the farm, they were all slim, but now they were way fluffier, and that sleek look was totally gone.
Well
His current appearance was even cuter, though
"Rolling around indoors all winter and eating snacks."
"Nyaa"
Cheese lowered his head with a defeated expression.
