How to get Healed at Demon Farm

Chapter 2



"What the hell is this…"

I muttered to myself with a puzzled expression on the sudden situation. 

After the initial incomplete awakening, an awakening phenomenon that occurred again after a few years. 

The complete awakening that I had been longing for for a long time came suddenly. 

I came to my senses and cleared my mind. 

I bit my lips with a look of excitement and anxiety, then spat out the word.

Status window..”

Boom

《Lim Sihyeon: Demon Beast Guardian》

[Health: 8] 

[Magic: 1]

[Knowledge: 5] 

[Resistance: 1]

《Communion (交感)》[Unique] 

Summon the target monster and emotions can pass 

Different abilities depending on intimacy applies. 

–  Cannot be used against hostile targets.

A status window really popped up in front of me. 

I felt a sense of helplessness and slowly looked at the status window.

My stamina was high, and my magic and resistance were only 1.

What the hell is this? 

The Demon Beast Guardian……. 

Demon…? 

The word “beast” that appeared in the status window reminded me of the cow like creature I had just petted. 

When I looked for it, it had already disappeared somewhere.

When I was feeling some kind of regret, I heard the voice of someone looking for me.

“Mr Sihyeon. Sihyeon!” 

Iamhere!” 

After hearing the answer, Ryan quickly approached this way. 

“You are here. I was worried that you might have left.”

"No. I just looked around for a while." 

"Haha. I'm worried for nothing… Let's go! The others are waiting inside… Ummm?"

Ryan, who suddenly stopped talking, looked into my face.

“Mr Sihyeon. Did something change?" 

Pardon?"

“It’s subtle, but it’s definitely different from before. What happened?"

Thats……” 

After a moment's hesitation, I narrated what had just happened.

From encountering a large beast as I approached the fence to look around. 

Until the moment when an awakening occurred unexpectedly. 

Ryan asked again with a look of great surprise.

“Is what you just said true?” 

Yes, I too am confused, but it is true.”

“I can’t…” 

It was certainly surprising. 

It is rare in the world for an incomplete awakening to achieve complete awakening again.

“As soon as you meet that sensitive ‘Yakum', you petted it!”

“…..Huh?"

“Sihyeon is really amazing!” 

“…..??”

What?”

“What do you mean by what? How many beings can pet ‘Yakum' as soon as they meet?

While seeing Ryan's excitement pouring out, a scruffy grey-haired man yawned and appeared from the back of Ryan. 

His comfortable attire was disorganized as if he had just woken up, and his face was full of annoyance.

A metal chain intricately wound from the back of his left hand to his wrist stood out. 

Except for the eyes that look somewhere deep and still. 

He looked like a typical gangster. 

“Hmm. He doesn't look very special. Lia, how does he look to you?" 

A maid standing beside him answered his question.

“I don’t know. Mr. Kaneff.” 

“He too? Looks just like the humans who came before.”

My gaze slowly turned towards the maid. 

The black and white maid outfit was neat without any wrinkles, and the intense red hair was impressive. 

An elegant atmosphere emanated from her eyes slightly lowered and standing upright.

The unshakable appearance was like seeing a pretty doll from a foreign country.

While looking at the maid with my curious mode, her calm eyes and gaze met wit his.

Shake! 

She hurriedly looked away and hesitated for a moment. 

The maid slowly approached me, and she spoke to me in a calm, clear voice.

“Excuse me." 

Yes?" 

“Can I get you a cup of coffee?” 

Ahits okay. I drank before coming here.” 

“Okay.”

When I refused, saying I was fine, she looked a little disappointed in her eyes. 

Contrary to her doll-like appearance, I find it a little strange to see her clearly visible change of emotions.

Was I being impolite? 

While I chatted with the maid for a while. 

Ryan and the man called Kaneff were still talking about me.

“Mr Kaneff. It seems really good this time.”

“You were saying the same thing about the last one.” 

“That's true…but….” 

I sat back and looked at them. 

I had a very strange feeling for two reasons. 

First, was because of the ring that Ryan gave me as soon as I came here.

Second, the thing in their heads.…  

The two horns that I sometimes saw on the Internet or on the news. 

A sharp-looking horn grew on the man's head.  

Many wounds were carved in the middle of the horn

It added a harsh atmosphere. 

The maid's head also had horns.

It was a horn that felt very luxurious compared to that of the man. 

The relatively large horns on the doll-like appearance were unbalanced, but a strange fit was felt.

I looked carefully to see if it was a toy used at a Halloween party, but it didn't feel like that at all.

I was still skeptical. 

Apparently, this place seemed to be a magical realm that I had only heard of.

As they calmed down and their conversation was finished, I opened my mouth slowly.

Im sorry, can I asky ou a question?”

“Ah! Mr. Sihyeon, Please tell me." 

First of all, are botho ft hem there are demons?”

“Yes. Yes." 

Then Mr.Ryan…?" 

“Ah, because the appearance I am now is not what I normally look like.” 

As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan's dark eyes and hair started dying purple. 

At the same time, two horns grew softly from her forehead.

It was very smooth and shiny horns.

A low groan escaped from my mouth as his impression changed in an instant. 

“This is my true self.” 

Uh. okay."

Normally, I would have been quite surprised, but because of the situation, I nodded my head indifferently.

Even if I dont know exactly, I know that there are many limitations for ordinary people like me to come to theDemonRealm.”

“The procedure is a bit complicated.” 

But I dont have any special skills or knowledge, and all I did was do a little farm work when I was young. Is there any reason why you brought me here?” 

At this point, I asked what I thought was the strangest part.

Do you dare bring me to the Demon Realm to work?

Why the hell? 

I came here because I was in a hurry to get a job, but I wasn't stupid enough not to look back and forth. 

Ryan hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth with a look of helplessness.

“There are complicated circumstances, but to put it as simply as possible, it is because Mr. Sihyeon is an incomplete awakened person.”

Wha..? What does that have to do with it?" 

He continued to explain to me, who was questioning him.

“The huge Demon beast you saw earlier, called ‘Yakum’, is a very sensitive being. Although it is fenced in for a purpose, it is very difficult to access. I was looking for a solution in many ways, and only recently I found a way.”

Huh..?

“The fact is that the more faint the presence of magical powers, the less vigilant Yakum becomes.”

Ah…" 

Only then did I begin to understand this situation.

An incomplete awakening caused by the awakening's inability to adapt to mana.

The incomplete awakening was quite natural, and the presence of magical power had to be faint. 

A person who lacks the presence of magical powers, and has some experience in farm work, and is in desperate need of a job right now. 

It's like everything is pointing towards me.

"So thats why Im here?"

"Yes. Yes." 

"Huh? But I just awakened….then…"

“Ummm.”

Ryan thought for a moment, then opened his mouth again.

“I don’t know what kind of power you got. Is is something related to hunting or combat?”

Hunting? 

Combat? 

I don’t think if I acquired abilities related to that. 

The ‘Demon beast Guardian’ didn't seem to have anything to do with combat at all.

In the first place, I wasn't interested in combat, so it wasn't too bad.

I dont think it has anything to do with my abilities.” 

“Then I think it'll be fine. It may sound bad, but even now, Mr.Sihyeon hardly has the presence of magical power. Besides, it's not going to increase easily unless there is a special case."

"Ahyes." 

Recalling [Magic: 1] that I saw on the status window, I nodded my head.

When all my doubts were gone, I felt much more at ease.  

Even if it was an unfamiliar place called the Demon World, there was no reason to refuse if I could get a job with my abilities anyway. 

Then what am I supposed to do? Should I take care of the Yakum beast I saw earlier ?”

“It’s similar, but we have more specific goals.”

Ryan answered in a hoarse voice.

“Milk……. “

“……?" 

“The milk of Yakum.” 

Milk…? Like milking cows?” 

“Yes." 

Its not that difficult. Thats fine with me……" 

To my reaction that was bland, Ryan added a serious explanation.

“It will not be as easy as you think. As I said before, due to its sensitive nature, it is difficult to approach them, and they usually look gentle, but once they decide to attack, they become quite ferocious.”

“….."

“They've been locked up in a fence, but don't think of it as an ordinary livestock. They would be more like a wild animal.”

After hearing his explanation, I was blown away. 

Even though I accidentally petted it a while ago, the creature named ‘Yakum' was after all a magical beast.

Suddenly, thinking of the monsters that jump out of cracks and people fighting them fiercely, I groaned. 

Seeing my face rapidly darkening

Ryan hurriedly opened his mouth.

“I will not force Sihyeon to do dangerous things.”

Is it completely safe?” 

Of course, it cannot be said that there is no risk at all, but I will put the safety of Sihyeon as my utmost priority. The two people here will also do the same.” 

I looked at Ryan in front of me.

I turned and looked at the two of them in his side.

The man called Kaneff had a languid expression on his face as if he was not interested, and the maid was also standing there with a straight posture. 

They don’t look so reliable……but then, Ryan has made many sweet suggestions to convince me. 

A free working environment, generous vacation guarantees, and a fairly generous salary, even if not at the level of a large corporation.

To be honest, it was a very attractive proposal for anyone to see. 

Moreover, especially in my situation where I am having a hard time because I cannot get a job. 

But my heart was not willing. Sweet things always come with a price.

Would it be right to say no? 

I chose words with difficulty and opened my mouth. 

Thank you so much for the suggestion. By the way, I guess this is

“Ah! Finally, if you achieve the goal of milking Yakum, I will deposit 200 million won in cash right away.” 

"… I am all in Mr. Ryan!" 

"Hahaha. thank you, Mr.Sihyeon. Let’s work hard together.” 

Ryan smiled brightly and asked for a handshake.

And I, too, held out my hand with a happy expression.

It was too much money to turn down

A few days have passed since I went to the Demon Realm. 

Meanwhile, I have been busy with another work.

First, I reported the fact that I had fully awakened to the relevant government office.

Cases of fully awakening from incompletely awakening are so rare that there were many additional questions in the process of handling them. 

At Ryan's request, I did not disclose the affairs of the demon realm, so I just made up a fake story and explained the situation. 

Except for the case of suffering due to the weak magic in the magic measurement to check the awakening, the awakening report was handled smoothly. 

Next was the part-time job I've been doing

I gave the news to my boss that I will be quitting. 

Even though it was sudden because I got a job in a hurry, the boss patted me on the shoulder and congratulated.  

“Hahaha. congratulations. huh? are you worried about us. Think about you. We will be fine. Don't worry about us. your mother will be very pleased.”

I bowed my head several times in gratitude and regret.

The preparations were over, and the first day of work came.

I woke up earlier than usual and checked the things I had prepared.

Extra underwear, socks, clothes, work gloves, sunscreen, a notebook and writing utensil, and a windshield because it might be cold. 

Put the prepared things in the bag one by one.

After putting it down, I headed to the kitchen. 

I didn't ask if lunch was provided, so I thought I'd just pack a packed lunch.

The dish is vegetables stir-fried sausage made with leftover ingredients from the refrigerator, and sugar.

Deep-fried stir-fried kimchi and even a golden egg roll.  

Lastly, freshly cooked rice in an electric rice cooker.

I finished the lunch box by pressing it firmly. 

It's been a long time since I put efforts in my cooking skills and I'm happy

Feeling like this, I packed my lunch. 

When I was finished changing my clothes and was getting ready to go to work, my mother showed up from her bedroom.

“Are you ready to go to work?”

"Yes. Why did you wake up mom. Lie down and take more rest

“It’s my son’s first time at work, so of course I have to see him off. Don’t I ?” 

“Ugh. Let me know if you need a lunch box. Mom would prepare it for you.”

Seeing my mother feeling sad, I smiled, saying it was okay.

"Ill get going then." 

"Wait a minute." 

“……?”

My mother went into her room, took something, and handed it to me. 

It was a candy bag with candies in variety of fruit flavours.

“You will be working on a farm? Whenever you get tired, take one out and eat it.” 

I looked at the candy bag and remembered the old days.

When my father went to work on the farm, my mother always brought candy like this.

Stealing candy from my father's pocket while helping on the farm was one of my childhood joys. 

With vague memories, my heart melts for a moment.

Mother patted my back lightly.

"Thank you. Mom. Ill go out then." 

"okay. Take care and call me when you're done." 

Leaving behind my mother's warm send-off and exhausted emotions, I vigorously left the house.

Feeling the chilly morning air of spring. 

Seeing people busy with their work, little by little, I started to feel the realization of the first day of work. 

A little bit of anxiety and excitement rose in my heart.

Thus began my first day of work at the Demon Farm.
