Chapter 47
tnd a little far from the farm.
From two weeks ago, I picked up the weeds and removed the stones to bring it in the shape of a garden.
I gotpost, sprayed it in advance, and made a furrow to nt strawberries.
Even if it was the size of a small garden, it was still farming.
The excitement of starting something new was not bad.
Today is the day to nt strawberry seedlings that I got, in the garden.
Speranza, Lia and Andras were also gathered in the garden.
Speranza followed me, saying she also wanted to nt strawberries.
She was so excited that her eyes kept twinkling.
Unlike Lia, who voluntarily came out to help with the work.
Andras was caught by Kaneff and forced to be a garden worker when he came to have lunch.
"Now! Are you ready. I''ll show you first. After I finished, do exactly what I did.
I held a pot containing seedlings in my hand and carefully pulled out a strawberry seedling from it.
The soil was properly dug into a pre-made furrow and seedlings was put in it.
Water it properly and cover it with soil so that the seedlings can be fixed.
"Oh!"
The three people watching me burst into admiration as if I had done something great.
"It''s simple, right? Just be careful not to stick too close to each other when nting it. I''ll look at it, so try it yourself.
As soon as I finished talking, the three of them headed to the garden with seedlings.
There were many seedlings to nt, so I also started nting seedlings again with everyone.
After a while, I heard a grumbling sound from somewhere.
The owner of the sound was Andras.
He was almost lying on the ground and adjusting the depth of the hole very delicately.
It was very pathetic to see him moaning with a trowel that didn''t fit into hisrge size.
"Andras? What are you doing?"
"I don''t think the diameter of my hole is the same as the one you showed me earlier, so I''m trying to calcte it properly."
"No You don''t have to do that."
"No. I can calcte it perfectly. Just a little bit more. Calcting the radiusfinding the areaso 2r
Andras adjusted the depth of the hole saying he would perfect the depth.
I tried to stop him, but I quit after seeing him satisfied in his own way.
-Puk!
"Kyaa"
This time, a short scream popped out from Lias side.
"What''s up?"
"Sorry, I''m sorry. Since I couldn''t control my power, all the seedlings were torn apart."
On her hand, I could see strawberry seedlings that werepletely torn off from the soil could be seen.
"When you take it out of a pot containing seedlings, don''t try to take it out too hard. Just tap it on the outside and gently pull it out."
"Okay. Got it."
As a maid Lia did the houseworks perfectly, but she was not good at anything other than housework.
It felt so amazing when I was watching from the side.
After slowly helping Lia get used to nting, I thought of Speranza and looked around moving my head from side to side.
Chuck chuck.
Swiooooooosh.
Unexpectedly, Speranza was nting strawberry seedlings very neatly.
The appearance of Speranza biting her lips and digging soil with a small shovel full of seriousness was like looking at a craftsman doing his job.
Oh! Of course, I couldn''t leave out cuteness.
"Wow! Speranza darling, youre really so good at this. I think you are better than me."
"Hehe!"
In my sincerepliment, Speranza smiled brightly without minding the dirt that was on her face.
I took out a handkerchief with a smile and wiped off the dirt on her face.
With the discovery of the unexpected talent of the cute fox girl, the nting of seedlings in the garden went very smoothly.
I was able to nt all the strawberry seedlings that I prepared earlier than I thought.
Seeing the garden full of strawberry seedlings made me feel proud.
It feels like I can already see the coveted strawberries that will be filling the garden.
Lia and Andras looked around the garden with a simr expressions.
"It was my first time farming myself. Its hard, but I''m proud to see the finished garden."
Mr Andras..you didnt do much? You only ced two seedlings. All you did was some strange calctions.
At the words of Lia, Andras coughed and changed the topic.
"Hmm, why don''t we make a boundary so that other animals can''t ess it carelessly? If Sihyeon allows me, I''ll prepare it."
"I think it''d be nice to make a fence.
Hmm, then Ill ce some decorations, so that the garden will look cute.
The two were already full of thoughts of decorating the gardens.
Grab
"Papa"
"Huh? What''s wrong Speranza?"
"Stuawberry When will ite..?
"Hmm."
Speranzas eyes were filled with the expectation of seeing strawberries.
I gave Speranza with an answer that would not disappoint her too much.
If Speranza helps with the garden work, and stays as a good girl, strawberries will grow quickly."
"Un. I will."
Just as she vowed to be a good child for Santa us'' gift, Speranza clenched her two small fists and burned her will.
"Shall we go in now?"
You arepletely covered with dirt, so I''ll have to wash you first.
With Speranza in my arms, I led Andras and Lia back to the farm building.
A few days have passed since strawberry seedlings were nted in the garden.
I was looking at the garden with a despondent look.
This was because, all the hard-nted strawberry seedlings withered.
Lia was also heart-broken to see the disastrous situation in the garden.
"Sihyeon? What''s happening? What went wrong?
"I don''t know either.
Where did everything go wrong.?
Did I not nt the seedlings properly?
Or did I fertilize it too much?
Was the soil in the garden not good?
I had a lot of thoughts about the cause in my head, but Farming was soplicated that I couldn''t find a clear answer with a meagre farming experience.
When I was thinking seriously with a trouble expression, I heard Speranza crying from the side.
"Papa Did all stuawberries die? Speranza stayed good girl and took care of them then why Papa"
Speranza came out to the garden every day and watered them.
She smiled happily whenever she saw the nt grew even a little.
Seeing Speranza disappointed at the withered strawberries, my heart seemed to be rip apart.
But there was nothing I could do right now.
Lia, will you take Speranza to the farm building? I''ll be there in a little while."
"Okay. Sihyeon."
Lia took Speranza''s hand and returned to the farm building.
Even on the way, Speranza looked back several times while crying looking at the withered nts.
I stood lonely in the garden.
I certainly expected it to not be easy, but it was difficult to get myself together when I checked the disastrous results with my own eyes.
I squatted down and looked at the lost strawberry seedlings.
Haah. We can''t revive him, can we? I''m sorry I''m not good enough.
When apologizing to the withered leaves inside. A ticklish voice came to my ears.
"Do you need my help popi?
"?"
I was surprised and looked around.
No one was there in the garden except for me.
Am I hallucinating?
"Where are you looking at popi? Im here popi.
"Ah?!"
A small voice came out again.
Once again, I looked closely around.
And I was able to find the owner of the voice in a ce I had never imagined.
A very small girl was looking at me sitting on my right shoulder.
"Now you''re looking at me popi. You are a lot more stupid than I thought popi
There seemed to be a mixture of mystery and cuteness in the girl with a small body and two pairs of translucent andrge wings that would fit in the palm of my hand.
" fairy?!"
A fairy that would only be seen in movies and children books appeared in front of me.
As I kept making a nk face, the fairy with orange colored hair and eyes talked to me once again.
"Do you want me to help you popi?"
"What do you mean help?"
"You were sad because of the withered children over there, Arent you popi?"
"Yeah. But."
The fairy spread her folded wings and flew into the air.
And she spun around on a withered strawberry seedling.

Glittering powder gushed out of the flying fairy, and the powder began to hover around the strawberry seedlings.
The powders permeated strawberry leaves and stems very slowly.
And surprisingly, the stems and leaves of strawberries began to regain their vivid appearance.
It was an unbelievable sight even though I was looking at it with my own eyes.
While I couldn''t hide my surprised feelings, the fairy came back and sat on my shoulder, and asked with a proud posture.
"Do you like it popi?"
"Amazing! How did you do that?"
"The nts here were unable to ept the energy of the earth popi.! So I helped them gain energy, popi.!
Then will they continue to grow?"
"I don''t know popi.! But you wont have to worry for a while, popi
My face instantly brightened as I felt like I''ve found a way to revive the garden.
"Can you help other strawberries here ?"
"I can''t do this alone popi. My friends in the vige should also need to help me, Popi!"
The moment I asked if she could help a little more with anticipation, the fairy opened her mouth first.
"If you want help from my friends, you have to help us first popi."
"Do you want me to help you?"
Yes popi.! If you do us a favor, my friends in the vige will be happy to help you, popi!"
"How can I help you?
The fairy said with an angry look.
"Beat the bad guys who are destroying our vige, popi!
"Umm, can you exin in more detail?"
"Theye to our vige every day and ruin everything, Popi. My friends are struggling to restore the broken vige popi."
The fairy appealed to me with a look full of resentment.
I scratched my head with an awkward look.
This is because I was not very confident in battle.
"Why are you asking me a favor ?
" Of course, it''s because you got recognized by the Leader popi.
Leader? Who is that?"
"Leader is a huge being. Popi."
And ?"
"His fur is huge, popi.
The very one-dimensional exnation of the fairy made me dizzy for a moment.
does he have any other characteristics?"
"Ugh! Yes yes popi. And he has big horns. Popi.
"Big horns? Ah! You mean Yakum Bighornright?!
Right right Yakum popi! That''s what the Demons call the Leader popi.!
Amazingly, thanks to my [Yakums trust] skill, the fairy seems to have approached me.
"Is Bighorn your Leader.?
"Yes, Popi. Bad Beasts can''t even get close to our vige if there is Leader popi!
The fairy and Yakum seemed to be a kind of symbiotic rtionship.
I felt quite close to the fairies, since I heard that I had a close rtionship with Yakum.
I wanted to help them, even if it was not for the garden problem.
Okay. I''ll try if it''s something I can do."
"Thank you, popi. I will never forget this grace, Popi.!
I headed to the ce where the vige was at the guidance of the fairy.
"This is our vige, Popi.!
The ce the fairy guided was a ce where a lot of flowers bloomed in a wide field.
I admired the beautiful scenery that can only be seen in graphics these days.
There was such a fantastic ce nearby, but why haven''t I seen it before?
Questions passed by my mind for a while, but I quickly forgot about them because of the strong scent of flowers carried by the wind.
When I was in the midst of watching flowers, a high-pitched scream came from the fairy.
"There! There, there popi.!
"Huh?"
"He''s the bad guy who destroys the vige. Popi.!
At the urgent cry, I looked around in a hurry.
But I couldn''t see anyone around me.
"Where is he?"
"There! There! There! Popi.!
Where is the guy
The merciless guy that destroys the cute fairy vige.
Where is that violent.g u y huh?
Brrrr
A fluffy fur with yellow and ck stripes, a plump hip shaking in search of flower honey, and two cute wingspared simr to its size.
The evil intruder in the vige that the fairy said was
Honeybee ?"
A very cute honeybee.
