Chapter 234

Kaneff’s sudden suggestion left me stunned and I asked back with a flustered look.

“Boss, why all of a sudden?”

“What’s sudden? Didn’t you recently go to the other world with Andras?”

“That’s true, but…”

“I heard it from Ryan. Now, one person can go to the other world without getting permission from the Angels. Isn’t it?”

I nodded with a troubled look.

Now, as he said, it was possible for me to take a Demon to Earth.

Thanks to that, I was able to take Andras to search for Lilia.

But, aside from possibility and impossibility…  Shouldn’t he have asked me first?

I thought Kaneff’s actions were a little far-fetched, but I couldn’t plain.

This was because everyone’s eyes were already sparkling with expectations.

As they stayed together with me on the farm, the farm members encountered many of the Earth’s cultures through me, so, everyone had great interest and expectations for the Human world.

Thus, when it was decided for Lia and Andras to head to Earth together with me, the rest of the members were very envious.

I couldn’t ignore their expectations, and I was also thinking positively about spending time on Earth with the farm family.

But, the problem was…

“Then……, if you win the bet, you will e to Earth?”

“Can’t I? What’s wrong with me ing?”

Kaneff threatened me with his eyes wide open.

I flinched at the momentum and opened my mouth forcefully.

“Honestly, if Boss acts as he pleases in the Human world, there’ll be no one to stop you. As the person who would be taking care of you in the other world, of course, I’m anxious.”

“Well, I’m not a bully who does whatever he wants to… …and I’ll stick to the rules, so don’t worry.”

“Really?”

Other farm members, including me, looked at Kaneff with suspicious eyes.

“Ah! What did you think of me!? I’m a man of virtue. I never do anything weird.”

He plained of the injustice with serious eyes.

Seeing him say that, made me realize how badly he wanted to go to the Human world.

Soon, everyone’s eyes turned toward me.

They seemed to be waiting for my opinion on Kaneff’s proposal.

After being troubled for a while, I made a decision and nodded slowly.

“If you promise me that you will never do anything weird and won’t cause any trouble, I won’t oppose it.”

“All right, I promise!”

As I granted permission, a satisfactory smile spread on Kaneff’s face.

Lia, who was waiting for the conversation to end, asked with an expression full of excitement.

“Then how are we going to pick the one who will go to the other world with Sihyeon?”

“It’s better to play a fair game, right?”

While I was pondering what game to play, Kaneff waved at Lia and Andras.

“You two, stay out of it.”

“Why, Mr. Kaneff?”

“…….?”

“You two have already been to the other world with Sihyeon. So, get out.”

Kaneff insisted on making Lia and Andras stay out of the bet, citing the fact that the two had already been to  Earth.

Lia and Andras protested Kaneff’s decision.

“That’s unfair, Mr. Kaneff. Last time I was chosen fairly by drawing lots, so, this time too, you have to decide fairly.”

“Lia is absolutely right. And when we went to the other world, it wasn’t for vacation, we had to do something over there. The situation is very different now.”

Unlike the two who went against Kaneff’s decision, Alfred defended Kaneff’s argument.

“I think Boss’s words make sense this time. Even though you went because you had something to do over there, both of you bragged about it being a lot of fun when you returned, didn’t you?”

“Hmm…”

“Uh… Did I do that?”

Lia and Andras turned their heads with awkward expressions.

“You two stay out.”

“We should have a fair chance, too. Only Boss and I haven’t been there.”

“Elaine, I couldn’t enjoy it properly because I kept looking for my sister. We can’t easily make concessions. Opportunities should be fair for all.”

Four people argued and confronted each other.

“Let’s calm down first.”

I had no choice but to step in and sort things out.

“First, I think it’s fun to play games with everyone. I don’t think it’s a good idea to do it without Lia and Andras.”

My words brightened the expressions of Lia and Andras, but Kaneff slightly distorted his face. Seeing that, I quickly added.

“The one who would e with me on the next vacation will be fairly decided by game, but, if I needed help with something in the other world, I’ll give preference to Boss and Elaine. Wouldn’t this be okay?”

Alfred and Kaneff nodded their heads as if saying they agree with my proposal.

Lia and Andras also agreed to my proposal without any disagreement

With everyone on the same page, the petition for the one to acpany me on vacation began in earnest.

Before we started the game, we split into three teams.

The team was decided very naturally.

Team Alfred and Kaneff aiming for their first visit to the Human world!

And against them, Team Lia and Andras, who were aiming for their second visit to the Human world. Lastly, Speranza and I teamed up to participate in the games.

Obviously, the team that gets the first place will get the right to acpany me on vacation.

In addition, Speranza and I added a penalty for the team in the last place to make the game more fun, since, it would be meaningless for us, who would be going to the Human world either way.

The penalty for the loser was to take care of the baby Griffin’s bath for the next month!

It was not an easy penalty thanks to Grify and Finny, who were full of energy these days.

“There is no exception to the punishment. If you e in last place, you must be in charge of the bath.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to be last. We will definitely win first place and proudly get a ‘vacation panion ticket’.”

Kaneff’s declaration lit the battle spirit in everyone, which made the atmosphere heat up even before the start of the game.

The first game I choose was Jenga, a game where the players had to take turns to take out the wooden blocks from the tower stacked with wooden blocks.

It was a popular game because it was very simple and unique.

Even though it was an ordinary game, the people gathered here were not ordinary beings, so I added a separate rule.

No magic, artifacts, or mana.

The rule was to use only the physical abilities of the individuals.

The game was played twice, and the last remaining team will be the winner.

A wooden tower stood upright on the table, and the game began in earnest.

“Then I’ll go first…”

For the first turn, I took a block of wood out from the middle and put it on top.

After that, others began to pull out the wooden blocks one after another.

Speranza also played the game a few times, so, she also participated actively in the game.

People became more and more careful as the game proceeded.

It was Speranza’s turn to take out a wooden block.

I held Speranza’s body high so that she could pull out the block fortably.

“Um…”

Speranza looked around the wooden tower, but there was no easy block to pull out.

She had no choice but to take her hands to the block that seemed dangerous.

-TATT…

As the small hands pulled out the block, the wooden pillar shook greatly and tilted to one side.

“Ah!”

Speranza was surprised and burst into a small scream.

Along with the scream, magic fluctuated around her, and the leaning wooden tower regained its stability.

Obviously, it wasn’t normal.

– TATTT!

In the meantime, Speranza pletely pulled out the wooden block.

A flower-like bright smile bloomed on the face of the girl who succeeded in a difficult challenge.

“Papa, I did it. I did it”

“Yes, you pulled out the hard wooden block very well. Well done, dear.”

“Hehe.”

Speranza smiled and boasted of her success to others.

The farm members smiled warmly at the sight, while secretly exchanging eye contact with each other, and quickly concluded a silent agreement.

No matter how important the  ‘vacation panion ticket’ was, all of them seemed to not want to make Speranza sad.

Thanks to this, Speranza’s turn passed safely, and Alfred and Andras took out a series of wooden blocks.

And it was my turn.

However, no matter how much I look at the wooden tower, I couldn’t find a block that could be pulled out.

The wooden tower seemed like it would collapse just by touching it.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and pick one.”

“Hurry up, Sihyeon.”

‘Seriously, these people…’

When Speranza pulled out the block earlier, they looked at her with such warm eyes, but when I’m pulling, why is it so cold?

Calming down the slightly upset heart, I carefully pulled a block that looked safe.

-THUD!

Eventually, the unbalanced wooden tower crumbled down on the table.

“Um… I’m sorry, Speranza. Papa knocked it down.”

“Uh-huh. It’s okay, papa. Papa was great.”

Speranza forted me without being disappointed.

As expected, my daughter is the only one who cares about me the most here.

I hugged Speranza tightly in my arms and soothed the disappointment of third place.

Our team was the first to be eliminated, confirming the third place, and thus began the final match between the other four for the first place.

-Tap, tap, tap!

The two teams quickly pulled out the block and passed the turn.

There was a breathtaking tension around the wooden tower.

Before I knew it, all stable blocks were removed, and only the difficult blocks remained.

It was Lia’s turn.

She peered through the wooden tower and slowly lifted her right hand.

At that moment, red scales appeared on the back of the hand along with sharp nails.

“Wait! Isn’t this cheating?”

Kaneff shouted, pointing to Lia’s right hand.

“Why? It doesn’t matter because it’s my hand.”

“That’s not unreasonable.”

The two quarreling people looked at me at the same time.

Maybe they were trying to leave the judgment to me.

I scrambled on, scratching my head.

“Uh… it’s true that you played with your hands… …so, it won’t be considered as a foul?”

After nodding once to my words, Lia began to focus on the wooden block again.

As if determined to win, Lia picked up a block of wood with her two pointed nails.

– TAP!

She took out a block with a very quick and concise motion.

There was only a slight shake on the wooden tower, and no change occurred.

It was a perfect success.

“Good, that’s amazing Lia!”

“Tsk…”

Andras praised Lia for successfully pulling out a block, while Kaneff clicked his tongue in regret.

The unstable wooden tower seemed like it would fall in Kaneff’s turn.

Alfred frowned as he looked at the wooden tower.

“There’s really nothing to take out now.”

As he said, all the remaining wooden blocks were dangerously supporting the weight.

With one wrong touch, the whole thing would collapse.

Kaneff reached out with a calm expression.

CLING CLANG

A chain came out from his hand and tried to wrap itself around the wooden tower.

“Mr. Kaneff, that’s cheating. You can’t take out the chain.”

“Why is this cheating?”

Kaneff asked back with a brazen face.

“We have to only use our hands.”

“It’s connected to my wrist, so it’s like a hand.”

“Don’t argue with strange sophistry, just put it in quickly.”

“Tsk, Tsk!”

Kaneff grumbled and made the chain disappear.

His grumbling did not last long.

After calming himself, he once again reached out to the wooden tower.
