How to get Healed at Demon Farm

Chapter 102

Chapter 102

After the meal, Ryan left, while I lay on the sofa in the living room for a while. 

Before I knew it, the children gathered in front of the TV and fell in love with the cartoon channel. 

"Guys, watching TV too close is not good for your eyes. Let's move a bit, okay?."

Slowly, I  separated the children from the TV screen.

Si, At what time will you leave the house tomorrow.

"I've been contacted to be ready by 9 a.m. They'll send a car to pick me up."

"Didnt you say you had a guild raid scheduled tomorrow afternoon?"

I nodded with a blurry smile. 

"It's a holiday. Wont you be tired?" 

I was only going to do the guild raid, but Director Lee Seok kept asking me to do this meeting

The first sale of Demon Stones to Director Lee Seok has been confirmed.

I heard that the purchase has been confirmed at a Research Institute supported by the State.

Why does the director of the Institute want to meet me? 

At first, I refused because it was burdensome and time was tight.

But, Director Lee Seok said he would adjust the schedule to suit my convenience, as well as send a vehicle to pick me up.

I couldn't refuse it, since it was a favor Director Lee Seok asked by lowering his head.

Ah I want to quit everything and just roll around with the kids all day!

The tight schedule was a little annoying, but what can I do? 

I have to work hard to be a good son to my mother, dress my children in pretty clothes, and buy them delicious food.

Yes.I have two more days. Ill spend them with the children. 

I guess I have to go to bed early today to cope with  my tight schedule tomorrow.

"umm."

My eyes opened at the usual waking time.

Speranza and Akum's presence was felt on both sides. 

Now that it is summer, the children were very sweaty.

We should buy an air conditioner. 

We should install one in my mom's room and one in the living room

Lets buy it during the holidays.

I checked the time on the cell phone next to me.

Theres still timeso let's lie down a little longer.

I closed my eyes again while tasting the relaxation that I wouldn't normally feel. 

I enjoyed the drowsy feeling of falling asleep.

As time passed, I could feel my mother preparing breakfast outside the door. 

I should get up now. 

As soon as I opened the door, the smell of savory stew lingered at the tip of my nose. 

Are you up? What about the kids? 

They're still sleeping mom. I'm going to wash up first and wake them up slowly. 

Didn't you say you had an appointment at 9 o'clock today? Then aren't you running late?

That's all right. They're supposed to send a car to the front of the house. I'll wash up now. 

I took a quick shower and went back to my room. 

I began to wake the children who were still running in their dreamland. 

Speranza, are you going to keep sleeping?" 

Uh Papa"

Aren't you going to have breakfast with grandma?" 

When I lifted her upper body, Speranza slowly began to open her eyes.

Speranza looked around with half-asleep eyes, and when she found me, she stretched out her arms to hug me. 

I knew that she would fall asleep again if I hugged her, but it was a cuteness that I couldn't resist.

When Speranza forced me to hug her, she closed her eyes again with a happy smile. 

I started waking up other children while hugging Speranza.

I woke Akum and Gyuri one by one and left the room with everyone. 

"Did the babies wake up?" 

"Ummm Grandma" 

Speranza started acting childishly towards my mother this time. 

Of course, even my mother couldn't beat the cuteness. 

She accepted Speranza from me and smiled warmly. 

"Speranza is a sleepyhead. Isnt she? Grandma made you a delicious breakfast, aren't you going to eat it?" 

"I'm going to eat" 

"You should wake up and eat." 

Si, can you take care of Akum and Gyuri's breakfast? I've got everything ready on the table. 

Okay, mom. 

My mother hugged Speranza and headed toward the living room. 

I brought fresh fruit and vegetables prepared on the table to Akum and Gyuri.

Pow wow wooooo

"Sihyeon, I want to eat bead ice cream. Popi ! Round ice cream! popi"

You cant eat it in the morning. I'll definitely buy you what you want to eat later.

Like Speranza, the children who were dozing off started to wake up by eating breakfast little by little.

After giving the children meals, I also sat at the table and took my breakfast.

Hot soybean paste stew, steamed soft eggs, meatballs, and sausages that my mother doesn't usually prepare could be seen.

Maybe she prepared specially for Speranza.

My mother and Speranza sat at the table late.

Speranza sat on my mother's lap and looked more childish than usual. 

"Speranza, you should eat properly when you're eating. You're uncomfortable, aren't you?"

"What's wrong with it Si? It's not every day, it's only when she comes to visit this grandma." 

"MomI'm afraid it'll become a bad habit."

"You were worse than this when you were a kid. Unlike our gentle and nice Speranza." 

"" 

I quietly focused on my meal as my childhood story started coming out of my mothers mouth. 

I didn't want to talk about something embarrassing in front of Speranza and the kids.

First, I finished eating and went back to my room and changed my clothes. 

I plan to participate in the guild raid immediately after the meeting, so I packed extra clothes in a separate bag.

When I was ready to go out, someone rang the doorbell. 

There was only one person who would visit this early in the morning. 

CHUCK

As soon as I opened the door, a lively Yerin appeared. 

"Hi! Good morning!" 

"Good morning, what's going on this early in the morning?" 

"Oh! You cant deceive me, I already received the news that the baby angels came yesterday!"

Yerin looked playfully stern. 

I let her into the house with a smirk. 

Ta-da! 

What's that? 

Huh? You said you had plans all day today, right? In the meantime, I prepared this and that to have fun with the kids.

In the big bag Yerin brought, there were food, toys, dolls, and legos that children would like. 

Why did you buy so much? Someone might think you're raising a child.

I heard a few days ago that the kids were coming, and I was thinking about what to do to play, and I bought so many of them before I knew it. Hehe. 

Yerin smiled a little embarrassedly. 

Still, I felt grateful because she did it for the kids.

Thank you. I didn't expect you to take this much care of them. 

Hey, why are you thanking me all of suddenStop with the stuffy formalitiesso where are the kids? Guys, where are you? 

" AhYerin. When did you come? Did you have breakfast?"

"Yes Aunt Saya, I had a quick bite. Hello, Speranza!" 

Speranza stared blankly for a moment, then belatedly remembered Yerin and waved her hand quietly.

Yerin smiled as if she was very happy. 

Oh? It's Yerin! Popi! 

Pow wow woooo

Hi, guys. You remembered me, didn't you?" 

Akum and Gyuri quickly remembered Yerin and welcomed her.

I was sorry to leave the children with my mother, but thanks to Yerin, I could relax a little more. 

Then I'll get going.

As I got ready to go out with my shoes on, all the children sprang out the front door. 

Papa Where are you going?

Sorry dear, I think I'll be a little busy today because I have work." 

"Uh."

I Swept Speranza's sullen hair softly. 

"But we can stay together tomorrow. Just hang in there for today. Instead, have fun with grandma and sister Yerin. Okay?"

NOD

Speranza nodded with regret. 

Gyuri and Akum should also listen to what grandma says, got it? 

Okay, Popi! I'm obedient, Popi!"

Pow wow woooo

When I left home with the children sending me off, I felt happy and a heavy responsibility filled my heart even though I wasn't going to work. 

I came out a little earlier than I promised, but in front of the house, Director Lee Seok, and his subordinate I saw last time were already waiting for me. 

"Good morning. Mr. Sihyeon." 

Hi. Have you been waiting all this time? You should have called me.

No. Its fine. We just arrived. Let's get in.

Director Lee Seok treated me politely by opening the car door himself. 

He is older than me, and I was not used to this kind of treatment in the first place, so I felt very burdened. 

There was a breathtaking silence inside as the vehicle started. 

Come to think of it, it was okay last time since there was Ryan, but now it was so awkward.

Director Lee Seok also tried to talk first as if he was aware of the atmosphere.

"Do you have any questions about the Institute we're visiting now? If you want, I can give you a brief explanation. 

"Oh, yeah, wellthen 

I didn't really think about it much. 

Still, I forced myself to think of questions in response to the sincerity of the other person who tried to talk. 

Why does the Director of the Research Institute want to see me? 

Maybe it's because he wants to thank you. They were having a hard time at the institute because of the lack of Demon stones. I heard that the situation has improved thanks to you."

I didn't just give it to them, I just sold it for money. 

"As I explained last time, it's not something you can get just because you have money. From the Research director's point of view, he must have felt like he had met an oasis in the desert."

It seems like Demon Stones are really precious resources.

I just sold it, but I can't believe Im even getting thanked for it.

I still cant believe that I have the right to trade such precious goods. 

One hour by car. 

The lab building began to be seen in the distance. 

Nuclear  Mana Research Institute.

Mr. Sihyeon, there's one thing that I forgot to tell you. Only the head of the institute knows that Sihyeon provided the Demon stones. Other employees would have just been told that an investor will be visiting." 

"Investor?"

I was confused by the unexpected situation.

If I knew this was the occasion, I would've dressed up formally.

Director Lee Seok, who read my expression, relieved me with a light smile.

"You don't have to worry too much. You can just relax and think that you're on a field trip." 

"Um.Okay." 

"I think we're here. Let's get off together." 

As soon as we got off, a middle-aged man waiting at the entrance approached us quickly. 

It's been a while since I saw you Director Lee Seok. How have you been?

I've always been the same. It looks like the head of the Research Institute seems to be having a great time. You look amazing today." 

"Hahaha! You recognized it right away. We can't greet you with a dirty look like we usually do when you have brought a precious guest."

The two greeted each other in a friendly manner.

"Let me introduce you to the important guest first. This is Mr. Lim Sihyeon, whom I told you about last time. And Mr. Sihyeon, this is Heo Yung, the Director of the Nuclear Mana  Research Institute." 

White hair and thick horn-rimmed glasses. 

He was a person with sparkling eyes. 

Hello, Im Lim Sihyeon. 

Oh! Nice to meet you. I'm Heo Yung. Im surprised, you are much younger than I thought." 

He held my hand tightly and led me straight to the entrance of the Institute.

Lets go in. There's a lot of things that I want to talk to you about." 

"Uhuh? 

I looked at Director Lee Seok, puzzled by the head of the Institute's overly aggressive attitude.

Director Lee Seok smiled leisurely as if he knew this would happen.
