Chapter 272
Having decided to go on the pic, the first thing I did was.
"A pic?"
"Yes. If it''s not now, it will get cold quickly, so I''m trying to prepare as soon as possible. What''s your schedule like?"
..to ask all the farm members for their opinions.
As Ryan heard about the pic, he responded somewhat dejectedly.
"Well, there''s still a lot of work that got pushed back due to our visit to the Red Scales."
"Ah! I see."
"I tried my best to handle the work as quickly as possible, but things keeping in.
Ryan smiled helplessly and pointed to the bunch of documents on the desk.
The documents were filled out in three differentnguages, Demonic, Korean, and English.
Looking at Ryan''s haggard face, he seems to have been working quite hard.
By the way, even the haggardness that he exhibited could not take away his good looks.
While putting aside the jealousy surging within, I expressed my concern by looking at the thick pile of documents.
"It''s going to be hard to attend unless we postpone the pic, right?
"No
"What?"
"I''ll try to finish the work somehow. I''d like to attend."
"Will you be alright? Dont strain yourself..
"Don''t worry. I have experience working in a more difficult environment than this. And I was really sad that I couldn''t attend thest outing. I really want to attend this time.
Ryan was determined to attend the pic. I was worried that he might be overdoing it, but I nodded silently and cheered for him.
I also felt sorry that he couldn''t be with us at thest pic, but hearing that he woulde with us this time, I thought it would be good to soothe the regrets of thest time.
"Are we going on a pic?"
"Yes. Were going to go with everyone."
"Yayyyy! Pic!"
After jumping and shouting in joy, Speranza ran around uncontrobly, unable to contain her excitement.
The baby griffins also ran after the fox girl excitedly.
"Nyaa~"
Seeing the celebration of Speranza and the baby griffins, Cheese, who was taking a nap on an extrarge cushion, rose up.
Sitting next to me, he asked.
"Speranza seems to be more excited than usual. What''s going on nyaa?
"Well be going on a pic. That''s why she is excited like this.
"Pic? What''s that nyaa? Is it something to eat nyaa?"
I exined briefly about the pic to Cheese.
"Hmm. Aren''t we eating together every day anyway nyaa? What''s the difference between eating outside and inside nyaa?
"It''s kind of a diversion. Isn''t it frustrating to eat at the same ce every day? And it''s also an asion for the members who work together to make fun memories."
"I don''t understand nyaa.
Cheese tilted his head as if he couldnt understand the meaning of the pic yet. I said with a smile looking at the small figure.
"You''ll know once you see it in personter."
"Am I going, too nyaa?
"Of course, you''re a family member. And if you don''te, Speranza will hold you like before, are you fine with that?
"Nyaa"
Cheese trembled as he recalled the painful memories.
This big Karshi was extremely reluctant to be touched by anyone.
The farm members quickly noticed that side of Cheese and did not touch him or tried to hug him forcefully. Those energetic little griffins were also a little quiet in front of Cheese, but.
There was an exception to this rule.
It was me and Speranza.
I only touched Cheese when he came voluntarily, so he wasn''t bothered much, but Speranza she had a very different style than mine.
Where are you, Cheese? Let''s eat some snacks!
I''m sleepy. Lets take a nap, Cheese.
Cheese! Cheese!
The fox girl, who loved Cheese so much, chased the big Karshi all the time.
There were also baby griffins who would always be by Speranzas side, so it was really tough for Cheese.
But what''s really interesting was that.
No matter how much Speranza bothered and stuck with him, Cheese never became angry or pushed her away.
All he did was wait for the moment to pass by quickly with a resigned look.
I felt so bad for him..
So, recently, I have refrained Speranza a lot from disturbing him, so Cheese was also enjoying a lot of time alone.
But going back to the old days?
From Cheese''s point of view, of course, it would be a big headache.
I asked with a yful smile.
"You''reing, right?
"I''lle nyaa. Don''t say weird things to Speranza nyaaa!
"Hahahaha, Okay."
Looking at Cheese returning to the extrarge cushion as if running away, I forced myself to hold back the burst ofughter.
As I was talking to Cheese, Speranza, who ran around, talked excitedly to the farm members about the pic.
Looking at such Speranza, Lia and Andras smiled happily.
"Oh, Speranza is excited as if she is going to leave for the pic tomorrow, right?
"Lia was also like that yesterday."
"When did I?"
When Andras grinned and brought up yesterday''s happening, Lia denied it with a slightly flustered expression.
However, she couldn''t hide her embarrassment, so she stuttered and blushed.
Not wanting to continue on the topic, she quickly brought up a different subject.
"Sihyeon, then will everyone attend this pic?
"There''s one person left whose opinion I havent heard yet."
"Who Ah!
Lia opened her eyes wide to ask who it was, but she soon seeded in recalling the one person.
Andras patted me on the arm and encouraged me.
"If it''s Sihyeon, you can do it."
"I''ll try to persuade him this time, too. It''s fun only when everyone is together, right?
I mustered my energy as I thought about the farms final Boss.
"Pic?"
"Yes. It''s been a while since we went on thest outing, and the things that need to be done urgently on the farm have also been sorted out to some extent, so there is time to spare."
"Hmm Has it already been that long?
Like everyone else, Kaneff also briefly recalled the rapid pace of the time.
"Andras and ine couldn''te to the Red Scales vige together, right? Of course, we went there on order from the Demon Lord Castle, but the two were very disappointed to hear about the fantastic hot springs and delicious foods."
"Well, the hot spring was good and the food was delicious. On top of that, the liquor.
Kaneff paused and frowned.
Emotions of regret,mentation, and anger lingered in his eyes.
Probably he was thinking about the alcohol that was taken away by Bellion in the Vision world.
I quickly brought up something else so that the atmosphere wouldn''t be clouded.
"So, I''m thinking of preparing a pic to soothe the two who are sad. What do you think, boss? You wille to the pic with us, right?
.
"This time, Ryan said he would attend, too. It''s better for everyone to get together, so why don''t you join us as well?.
I examined Kaneff''splexion, finishing my words carefully. He looked expressionless, and I had no idea what he was thinking.
I started to get a little nervous thinking it might be a negative reaction.
As I thought, I need to put in a little bit more effort to convince him.
"I''lle."
"what?"
"What kind of reaction is that? Didn''t you ask me toe to the pic?
"Huh, that''s right"
Kaneff said he woulde without any hesitation.
I was stunned by the unexpected response.
"What''s wrong with your expression? Don''t tell me you don''t want me toe?
"Oh, no! Absolutely not! I didn''t expect you to ept this easily..
"Isn''t it an opportunity to drink hard in the middle of the day without receiving your nagging? There will be a lot of delicious food on top of course.
Kaneff exined the reason lightly, but I felt that something was missing.
From my experience so far, there was no way he would readily ept toe to the pic simply for that reason.
I looked at him silently, thinking there would be more.
Sensing my gaze, Kaneff muttered, scratching his cheek.
"Before you came, Speranza was here."
"Speranza?"
"Yeah. She was so excited about the pic. And."
?
"She asked me if I wasing with eyes so bright that I couldnt refuse..
.
.
"Hah!"
.
"Hahahahahaha"
I endured it for as long as I could, but eventually, I squeezed my lips and burst intoughter.
Kaneff''s face quickly turned ugly at the sound of myughter. However, theughter that burst once did not die down easily.
Myughter continued in the room for a while, and Kaneff, who had kept a fierce look, sighed as if he had given up.
"Hey, don''t you think you should stop now?"
"Oh, my. Ha I''m sorry. It was so out of the blue that I suddenly burst intoughter."
"I feel bad right now because of you, and I''m seriously considering noting."
Kaneff uttered mean words for no reason, but the smile didn''t disappear from my mouth.
"Boss."
"What?"
"You''ve changed a lot."
"If you''re going to talk nonsense, get out right now. Because you''re making me tired all of a sudden.
He turned his backpletely and shook his hand a couple of times. It was a concise expression that there was nothing more to say.
I quietly left the room without saying a word, worrying that he would really note if I made any more fun of him.
Preparations for the second pic went smoothly.
Lia and I worked hard to prepare ingredients for the delicious foods to have on the pic, while Andras and Lilia locked themselves in the workshop again saying they would make the things we needed at the pic.
Alfred looked at the horses and the long unused wagon.
Ryan, who was unclear whether he would attend until thest day, overcame the tremendous intensity of work and confirmed his attendance at the pic.
I could feel how great his tenacity was from his noticeably thin appearance.
As the date of the pic approached, everyone''s faces were filled with excitement.
The cumbersome preparation process was rather enjoyable.
Time went by slowly, and soon, the morning of the promised pic day came to the farm.
