th satisfaction at the change.  

I patted Speranza’s slightly sullen head to cheer her up.  

“Boss will be back soon.
So let’s wait a little bit more, okay?” 

“Un.
Yes, papa.”  

“You’re so nice! My dear Speranza.
Do you want more potato pancakes?” 

“Un!”  

Speranza smiled brightly and nodded.  

When I got up from my seat to make potato pancakes again, Andras coughed and said.  

“Hmm, Sihyeon.
While you were making Speranza’s….” 

“I’ll have one more…” 

“Then I’ll have one more too…” 

Three of them showed their empty plates with embarrassment.  

I smiled brightly and nodded.  

Fortunately, there was no need to worry about the piled potatoes.  

After snack time, Speranza began to doze off with a languid look of satiety.  

I left her with Lia to take a nap and headed to the strawberry field with Andras and Alfred.

“Sir.
Sihyeon ?” 

“Yes, Elder Poco.”  

Elder Poco, who found us, approached us at a quick pace and politely greeted us. 

I also greeted him with an awkward appearance because I was still burdened with his excessive politeness.  

I said I was much younger, so could be a little more comfortable, but he never gave up his politeness.  

Rather, it seemed to have gotten worse. 

“Are you here to see the merchants today?” 

“Yes, is the strawberry harvest going well?”  

“The harvest was finished yesterday, and we will move to the village in time for the merchants to arrive.
We’re going to move it to the carriage in a little while, so please wait a little bit.” 

“We’ll help you, too.” 

“You don’t have to do it, Sir.
I’ve got enough hands” 

“Oh… Okay.” 

Elder Poco refused so coldly.  

I couldn’t say I would help anymore because of the pressure from his eyes. 

” Sir, I’ll tell you again when the carriage is ready.
Then…”  

Elder Poco bowed politely and headed to the place where the strawberries were being loaded in the wagon. 

I murmured regretfully at the sight.  

“Well… we used to be friendly and work together.
Are they feeling uncomfortable?”  

Andras, who heard my murmur, replied with a smile.  

“They’re taking care of Sihyeon in their own way, right? I don’t think that’s a bad change.” 

“Hmm…” 

“Senior, I agree with Andras.
Being friendly doesn’t always mean it’s good.
I think that Elder Poco is acting more mature in that regard, too?”  

Listening to them, I understood Elder Poco’s feelings a little bit.  

He probably thought that my friendly behavior could have a bad effect on Beast-people’s work. 

“By the way, the strawberry field has grown a lot.
When I first came to the farm, I think it was half the size of today.” 

“As Elaine said, I was also pretty surprised.
I never thought I could scale this much in a short period of time.”  

“I know.
I’m not lying, but it looks like it’s more than tripled compared to the first strawberry field?”  

Despite the bad news of losing all the strawberries in the Storage recently, the expansion of the strawberry field continued step by step.  

Gyuri and the fairies played the biggest role. 

And so the Elden villagers.

It was an achievement achieved by mobilizing almost all the people of Elden Village under the direction of Elder Poco, who now knows more about strawberries than I do.  

I also played an important role, but the growth was because of the workers from the Elden village who worked really hard in the strawberry field.  

Just by looking at the strawberry field roughly, I could feel how sincerely they put their efforts into this place.  

Now, most of the children in Elden Village said that when they grew up they would work in the strawberry field. 

The strawberry field and Elden village were becoming inseparable.

 Despite this expansion, Ergin and Algott still complained that supplies were insufficient. 

It was inevitable because this was the only place where strawberries were produced. 

While looking around the strawberry field with Andras and Alfred, a Beast-man came running to the strawberry field in a hurry.  

The Beast-man ran straight to Elder Poco. 

Without any time to catch his breath, he began to explain something in a hurry. 

Moments later, a pale-faced Elder Poco came running toward us. 

It was so urgent that I was worried that he might fall. 

“Sir…, Sir.SIHYEON!” 

“What’s the matter, Elder?” 

“It’s bad.
The Young Lord is in the village now.” 

” Young Lord?”  

At the moment I didn’t know exactly what was going on, and when I looked puzzled, Andras next to me stepped up and took over. 

“By young Lord, do you mean the Young Master of the Selberg family?”

“Yes.” 

I recalled the information about the name ‘Selberg’ that I heard in the past. 

” Ah….Isn’t the Selberg family… … the lord’s family that rules this area?” 

“Yes, that’s right.
Sihyeon.”  

“Why did a person from that family suddenly come to the Elden village… …the last time I heard, Boss said that they didn’t really care much about the village.”  

“Well, I don’t know how it used to be, but things have changed a lot now.”  

Andras turned his gaze back to Elder Poco and asked,

“What exactly is going on in the village now?” 

“Prince Selberg is leading knights and soldiers and gathering everyone in the village into one place, regardless of children and old people.” 

I said in surprise. 

“What? Why all of a sudden?” 

“Even the villager who told me the news doesn’t know exactly, but it seems like they were saying it was to find the sinners.”  

Our expression hardened at the story of Elder Poco, full of anxiety.
