-Heheng.
The kkumuri diligently moving and cultivating the village. Before I knew it not only houses for the slimes but storage able to individually store harvested crops, building storing seeds, even a place to rest when Alpheheim visit built.
Now paving the road between buildings and toward the field. While also cultivating surrounding landscaping not ordinary.
“Seeming lazy yet secretly diligent.”
Thanks to that the plain like a empty field changing to a cute fairy tale village.
Gyuseong classifying the harvested onions into item and not and neatly organizing. Beside that the slimes coming and going and helping work.
“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Hard work working!”
Ara who was helping work for a long time seeing the sweat Gyuseong shedding ran somewhere trotting.
“Drinking water!”
Ara holding honey water hot spring in both hands carefully walking visible. But water leaking through hand gaps and by the time arriving at Gyuseong only wet hands.
“Uh, disappeared!”
“Right? Have to go once more?”
Gyuseong at that cute appearance playfulness activated and not stopping watched Ara fetching water again.
Soon the second attempt also ended in failure Ara puffing cheeks and looking around.
“Ooh!”
Just in time Bokkeum playing with Gomgomi visible in Ara’s eyes. Immediately approaching Bokkeum Ara lightly lifted Bokkeum and ran to the hot spring again trotting.
Bokkeum?
“Drinking water.”
Gyuseong watching that appearance casually hardened the expression. Don’t tell me intending to give the water Bokkeum drank?
Of course always entrusting food materials and various items to Bokkeum but making spit out the drunk water again a bit different problem.
“A, Ara?”
“Oh! Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! I’m going! Wait a bit!”
Gyuseong’s hand distinguishing crops stopped.
Soon Ara brought Bokkeum plump with hot spring water fully held.
“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong, drink while doing!”
“...Thank you. Indeed only our Ara.”
When Ara pushed the part estimated as Bokkeum’s face approached close. Gyuseong regretting why not stopping earlier, but disliking betraying Ara’s pure goodwill tightly closed both eyes and waited.
“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong, what doing? Quickly receive water with hands.”
“A?”
Gyuseong who thought inevitably have to receive water with mouth as is blinked eyes then soon awkwardly gathered hands and held out.
Trickle-
The hot spring water leaking poorly somehow felt lukewarm. Bokkeum trickling water, Gyuseong receiving a bit of the coming water and nodding.
“Ahaha... Fine. Water really cool, no sweet and delicious, no... good.”
“If needed say anytime!”
Already several days passed since visiting Dasom Orphanage.
In the meantime Gyuseong who dropped by once every two days and watched Ara’s dance practice.
Still awkward body movements but seeming following the order to some extent so fortunate.
‘Rather because clumsy appearance cuter. Hehehe.’
Beside Gyuseong whose doting nature popping out again Ara opened the box placed on the floor for a moment.
“Subordinate! Eat a lot.”
Ara who took out the blue slime fragment poured the hot spring water drawn through Bokkeum. Unlikely but to the extent wondering if drowning like that.
When a puddle full of water made on the floor and Ara stirring inside the water with the slime fragment the onion classification ended.
“Roughly half and half?”
Slightly non-item more but still batting average high.
Like that Gyuseong who took the harvested onions to the storage the kkumuri made examined the surplus productions a bit piled before I knew it.
“Kyaa.”
As family increased crop consumption also increased and started delivery to the guild so to fill the warehouse will take a long time but still growth potential full.
Ultimately 2 slimes increasing a day and if increasing the field inside Gluttony’s dungeon can boast production volume no less than any company.
Moreover workers no need salary just provide room and board and process all work on own so even increasing farmland Gyuseong’s work amount not greatly increasing.
Literally a situation of eliminating all disadvantages of farming and only sucking honey.
“Hehehe.”
-Heheng.
One kkumuri following Gyuseong grinning foolishly.
“A, not the time for this.”
Gyuseong who handed the basket containing onions to the kkumuri imitating beside himself came out of the dungeon with urgent steps.
Today the day decided to meet Baek Taeseop again.
The day of directly handing the last fruit and vegetable juice.
‘Already complete cure judgment came but just in case said taking last time.’
A kind of performance.
In such a monumental matter saying wanting to see Gyuseong Baek Seunghyeon the son of representative Baek Taeseop said will visit directly but Gyuseong refused.
To Gyuseong Baek Seunghyeon felt like a patient who just finished detoxification so rather than him with aftereffects remaining himself moving directly convenient.
“Ara, let’s prepare to go out.”
“Orphanage? Went yesterday?”
“No. Today other place.”
Ara who was submerging the slime fragment held in hand in the puddle blank for a moment then suddenly shook head.
“Going next time.”
“Uh?”
Gyuseong froze at Ara’s unexpected refusal. Then despairingly sat down.
‘Ara... now not intending to play with me?!’
Became mature? Or somewhere mood not good? Various thoughts wrapping Gyuseong’s head Ara opened the mouth.
“Today resting.”
“A, Ara. Going to make and eat pizza?”
At Gyuseong’s words Ara’s tiger ears perked.
The trembling ears pitiful.
“E, even so today resting! Tired from dance practice!”
“Th, yeah...? Then I’ll go alone?”
When Gyuseong said with a voice still remaining attachment Ara’s back appearance flinched but that the end.
Ultimately Gyuseong packing Bokkeum stood up lonely.
When Gyuseong disappeared like that taking Bokkeum Ara who was turned back casually looked around. Confirming Gyuseong completely gone Ara put the slime fragment held again in the box.
“Um!”
Then making a shout and tightly clenched both fists and stood.
“Surprise gift aaaa!!”
Recently as exchanges with peer(?) kids frequent obtained various information Ara learned one important fact.
That exactly Gyuseong’s preciousness.
‘Ara how old?’
‘3,500 years old!’
‘Uh? Then Ara older than Ara’s dad?’
‘Dad? Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong!’
‘Ara fortunate. Always making such delicious rice and a dad who plays together every day.’
‘Good!’
‘Always have to be grateful. Otherwise we will snatch Ara’s dad.’
‘Huk! How not get snatched?!’
‘That...?’
Ara who recalled the matter of the previous day soon held the box and ran trotting. And worried about the surprise gift the expression of gratitude the friends said.
‘Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong...!’
The place Ara arrived the building putting miscellaneous. Called miscellaneous but mostly Ara’s things.
Inside the building on one side Ara’s hat collection displayed. A display stand for Ara who particularly likes putting something on the head.
The straw hat first received from Gyuseong, the motorcycle helmet received from Jeong Soyeon, the fluttering wide brim hat, the perfectly fitting baseball cap, even the hip beanie.
Amid various kinds of hats gathered Ara put the straw hat displayed first on the head.
“Um!”
Here even bag.
With this preparation complete.
Now time to attempt outing.
-Knock knock knock! Are you there?
“Um? Oh! Prey!”
In the situation just finished preparing to go out Prey came. Prey riding the starlight bug and looking around.
-A, Lord. Hat suits well.
“Hehehe.”
-Great Lord...?
“Went out!”
-A, Lord not following?
“I from now intending to obtain surprise gift!”
-Surprise gift?
Prey tilted head.
Then Ara grinned and whispered in Prey’s ear.
“Preparing surprise gift to give Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong. So will make glad.”
-Ooo. Indeed Lord. Meticulous scheme. Great Lord will like.
The appearance of whispering each other Gomgomi and slime around tilting and watching but the two just content.
“Then I departing!”
-Go and come well! Leave here to me!
“Yeah!”
Ara rubbed the flushed cheeks excited. For the first time the thought of going out alone without Gyuseong full of tension together with excitement.
“Going!”
* * *
‘Heukheuk. Slime also puberty coming?’
Facing a completely unexpected problem I even while heading to Iron Blood Guild by taxi shedding tears and immersed in worry.
In the early days too busy left Ara in the dungeon or briefly entrusted to the main house one or two times. But when I saying go together never refused even once.
“Guest. Arrived.”
“A, thank you.”
No time to worry long before I knew it arrived.
I sighed deeply and got off the taxi and stood in front of Iron Blood Guild.
“...Amazing.”
Worry about Ara momentary.
Looking at the vast Iron Blood Guild grounds unfolded in front of the eyes lost words.
Ara Hongryeon also boasts high buildings but here scale different.
Just the grounds themselves absurdly wide and as I know technology building, education building, administration building, research building, medical building, management building etc divided by area of course and even recognized as one autonomous district Iron Blood Guild.
In such Iron Blood Guild eyeing me deeply moved.
‘Looking forward after the contract ends!’
Actually seeing this tremendous scenery with eyes slightly looking forward. Even acquainted with Director Choi the executive of Terror Guild so my stock will rise more.
“A! By any chance Mr. Lee Gyuseong?”
Then one of the people in front of the huge main gate urgently ran and asked me. Because such a huge company-like guild many people I nodded.
“Yes. Right.”
“A, thank you for directly visiting Iron Blood Guild. Will contact the representative right away.”
“Yes.”
When I nodded the person who welcomed me waved hands toward the people standing at the main gate. Then suddenly the several people there rushed.
“Eeng?”
Without knowing making a stupid sound and flustered the people already surrounded around me.
Knowing most of them bodyguards, some guild employees to guide me.
‘Need to stick this many?’
While I not coming to senses the employee who first talked said.
“Contacted the representative. Please enter.”
“Yes, yes.”
Awkwardly nodding and entering through the main gate a waiting vehicle visible.
“Please board.”
No know the grounds wide but to the extent have to ride car and go around.
For now boarding the vehicle felt the gazes of people around gathering on me. Because not people waiting for me all looking at me with curious eyes.
I also curious. What on earth this matter now.
“Today really thank you for visiting like this. Introduction late. I am Oh Minju.”
“A! Awakener Oh Minju!”
“Know me?”
“Of course. A very famous person even inside Iron Blood Guild...”
“Thank you for recognizing.”
The guide in front of the eyes smiling an awakener competing for top even inside Iron Blood Guild. Not a position to guide a mere guest why on earth?
“Arrived.”
The vehicle arrived.
The moment the door opening.
“Mr. Lee Gyuseong! Welcome to Iron Blood Guild!”
“Eeh?”
First seeing people welcomed me.
