How to get Healed at Demon Farm

Chapter 305

"Uncle!"

"Uncle Si!"

Taeho and Sehe's voices could be heard as four individuals, who had ventured off to search for the Divine Beast in a different direction, approached us.

I greeted them with a downtrodden expression.

"How did you come across this location?"

"We heard rumors of a creature resembling the Divine Beast being spotted here, so we decided to investigate."

"Uncle Si, what's the situation with the Divine Beast? Did you manage to locate it?"

"Well, that's…”

I shared the events of earlier with everyone.

Upon hearing my account of the Divine Beast escaping through a dimensional gate, everyone's disappointment was palpable.

"It escaped through a dimensional gate?"

"I had no idea it possessed that capability."

"Then how are we supposed to capture it? If we pursue it, won't it just keep running through the gate!"

I nodded in agreement with Taeho's slightly frustrated statement.

This was a vastly different challenge than trying to find a lost puppy.

I turned to the two Angels with a dissatisfied expression.

"Why didn't you inform us beforehand that the Divine Beast had this ability? If we had known, wouldn't we have made different preparations?"

Urki grew visibly nervous and agitated at my questioning, while Ashmir, as per usual, maintained an impassive expression and replied coolly.

"Disclosing crucial information about the Divine Beast is against the rules. It's not possible for us to reveal the Divine Beast's abilities."

"What?! We're trying to assist here… Ughh."

I struggled to keep my emotions in check.

Ryan, noticing my distress, gave me a reassuring pat on the shoulder, conveying his understanding of the situation.

– I'd rather communicate with a wall than with the Angels!

This statement, spoken by someone about the Angels, came to mind once again.

The Angels' frustrating actions and attitudes were not new, but it was important to focus on capturing the Divine Beast that had fled.

Before thinking about how to locate it, I reflected on the peculiar situation I had just witnessed.

"Ms. Ashmir, Urki. Do you remember when we encountered the Divine Beast and approached it?"

"Yes."

"Of course, I remember."

"At that time, the Divine Beast was relaxed enough to accept a hot dog from a stranger, but as soon as it saw us, or more specifically, the two of you, it ran away. Isn't that strange?"

As the two Angels stated, there was no reason the Divine Beast should have fled from them.

I suspected that they were hiding something from me.

However, Urki protested with a resentful expression.

"I, I don't know why the Divine Beast ran away. I just followed instructions and took care of it as best I could. I never did anything to harm or scare it."

"What Apprentice Urki says is true. Although he was often clumsy, he did his best to take care of the Divine Beast."

"Well……"

At their words, I set aside my suspicions.

Although the Angels' way of thinking was short-sighted and frustrating, I didn't believe they would outright lie.

I trusted the conviction in their words.

At present, I was unsure of the reason for the Divine Beast's flight.

The heartwarming image of a reuniting owner and lost pet had vanished, and now it seemed we would have to resort to capturing it forcibly.

But how in the world was I supposed to accomplish that?

If I attempted to capture it, it would likely flee through the dimensional gate again…

Ryan approached me and spoke to me, who was preoccupied with the situation.

"Come to think of it, hasn't this happened before?"

"……?"

"Of course, at that time, we weren't looking for a Divine Beast, but for a tomboy who ran away from home."

"Ah!"

I finally understood Ryan's words and exclaimed in realization.

Indeed, as he said, we had dealt with a similar situation before.

It was the case of Lilia running away from home to Earth!

The situations then and now were very similar.

How did we find Lilia back then?

At first, Andras searched for traces, going from place to place, and then…

Yes! Akum!

Akum found Lilia.

With a plan for pursuing the Divine Beast in mind, I immediately asked Ryan to do one thing.

⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩

With Ryan absent, the remaining members of the group started collecting information and making plans.

"Bro, check this out," Jin said, showing a photo on his smartphone of the Divine beast at a different location.

"Where was this taken?"

"It's a takoyaki restaurant a little ways from here."

"Really? I know that takoyaki restaurant. It's a pretty famous one."

Taeho instantly recognized the store in the picture.

As Jin continued to show more pictures of the Divine beast, he exclaimed,

"It's not just takoyaki shops. Social media is going crazy right now about this unidentified cute animal appearing all over the area."

"Wow… This guy is amazing. It's been searching for good restaurants around here. Is this also the ability of a divine beast?"

"Don't talk nonsense,"

Sehe said, looking at Taeho pityingly as he drooled over the pictures of the restaurants.

‘Huh.’

As we saw the numerous pictures of the Divine beast flooding social media, it became clear that the creature was not scared or trying to hide, despite running away previously.

The first place it was photographed was at a bakery, then a hot dog store, and finally a takoyaki shop.

Considering the places where the Divine beast was spotted, its purpose seemed quite clear.

It was simply wandering around looking for something delicious to eat.josei

As Taeho and Sehe were contemplating how to capture the Divine beast using this information, a car pulled up nearby and stopped.

Ryan got out of the driver's seat and opened the back door, revealing a cute demon beast sitting inside.

– Pow wo wooo

"Hey, buddy."

As soon as Akum spotted me, he ran over and rubbed against me.

"Wow! It's Akum!"

The three Guardians Guild members who had met Akum before also approached with happy expressions.

Akum also remembered them and took turns being affectionate with each of them.

As everyone was focused on Akum, another demon beast emerged from the back of the car.

"Nyaaa! I like this car thing, it’s comfortable and fast nyaa."

The giant cat got out of the car and stretched out its front legs in a unique posture.

I spotted Cheese and looked slightly confused.

"Ryan, you brought Cheese too. I asked you to bring only Akum…"

"Hahaha. He followed us saying he felt tired from staying all day at home. At first, I tried to refuse, but I couldn't help it because he said he would follow me on his own if I didn't take him."

"Ugh…… I see.”

Cheese has been staying at home all these days…

I approached the giant cheese cat with a slightly downcast look on his face.

"Cheese. I'm sorry, but I have something urgent to do right now. Can you stay calm until the work is over?”

"Don't worry nyaa. I just followed because I was bored. I won’t interrupt what you're doing nyaaa." Cheese replied indifferently, as if to assure me that he would be fine on his own.

Since Cheese is not the type to cause accidents like some young demon beasts, I decided to trust his answer.

"Wow! A cat?"

Taeho found Cheese and showed a surprised reaction. Sehe and Jin followed suit.

"Do you raise this cat too?"

"Bro, don't tell me that cat……?”

I smiled awkwardly and nodded.

I didn't add any explanation, but all three seemed to have roughly guessed Cheese's identity.

"Ah, Senior Ashmir!"

"What's wrong?"

"Those animals must be demon beasts. Aren't they supposed to be not here?"

Ashmir calmly answered Urki's urgent question.

"That’s the rule, but the demon beasts with Sihyeon are an exception."

"What?"

"It's hard for me to explain it properly, too. Just know that things about Sihyeon cannot be explained by our rules.”

Urki could only nod his head at Asmir's determined attitude.

I approached the two Angels with Akum in my arms.

"Is there anything that has the Divine beast’s body odor on it? I hope it's something that it has been using for as long as possible."

"Something with body odor?"

"Umm…… Oh! I think I have it. Wait a minute."

Urki put down the bag he was carrying on his back and began to rummage through the contents. And soon he took out a thin blanket from the bag.

"I brought this blanket because I thought the Divine beast would be cold. It's something that the Divine beast used in heaven. Will this be enough?”

"I think that's enough."

I got the blanket from Urki and took it to Akum.

"Akum dear, can you find the owner of this blanket?”

Pow wo wooo

Akum tilted his head and looked at the blanket.

He turned his head here and there, looked at the blanket, and gradually showed his face and began to smell it.

Everyone watched Akum's behavior with nervous looks on their faces.

Akum, who had been smelling the blanket for a while, jumped out of my arms as if he had figured something out.

Pow woo wooooo!

Baby Yakum ran out, signaling to follow him with a cry.

"Let's follow him."

Ryan and Cheese reacted first to my voice and moved.

Next, the three Guardians Guild members followed with an expression of wonder, and finally, two Angels moved in half-belief.

The place where Akum arrived with a dainty running was…….

"……What?"

It was Akum's favorite ice cream shop.

Pow woo woow oooo!

Akum looked up at me with sparkling eyes and a cute cry. I laughed despondently when I noticed the intentions of the adorable baby Yakum.

I quickly went into the ice cream shop and bought Akum's favorite ice cream and came out.

"Now, Akum. This is your favorite flavor, right?"

– Pow woo wooo

Akum looked at the small ice cream cup in front of him and cried contentedly. And he started to enjoy the ice cream in the cup.

Baby Yakum's ice cream eating show began on the street.

Still, it didn't take long to empty the cup because it was a small-sized ice cream. I began to coax Akum, who looked a little disappointed.

"Akum, I'll buy you the biggest size ice cream when you finish your work well. What do you say?”

Pow woo woooo

"Okay, now start looking for the owner of the blanket. Got it?"

Pow woo woo!

Akum, full of motivation, once again ran out on his dainty four legs.
