Chapter 244

Is she saying I can use my smartphone?

Of course, some functions of the smartphone could be used in the Demon world.

I took pictures, filmed videos, or listened to saved songs. Sometimes, I also used the scheduler function.

But I couldn’t use what could be called the core of a smartphone, functions that require communication networks such as calls, text messages, and the Internet.

“Lilia, are you telling me that I can use the communication function of my smartphone?”

I was in too much of a hurry, so I asked the question in an urgent tone. And Lilia answered my questions by immediately nodding her head.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Uh, how? Isn’t it impossible to establish a communication network between the Demon world and Earth?”

“I thought so too at first. But Brother Sihyeon showed me a possibility.”

I did?

I stared at her with a puzzled expression.

“Don’t you remember when we moved from the Earth to the Demon world?”

“When we moved to the Demon world…….”

Of course, I remember. I, Andras, and Lilia ran away from the Angels who surrounded the research center and crossed the unstable dimensional gate. It was a decision close to gambling because the situation seemed very urgent.

“I was very surprised to know that the place where we arrived after crossing the unstable dimensional gate was a World created by Brother Sihyeon.”

“A world that Sihyeon created… … ?”

“Let me explain that to you, Father.”

Andras briefly explained Esbern, who didn’t understand the context of the story.

“Ummm… … Did something like that happen……”

After hearing the explanation, Esbern muttered with a hardened face. Maybe this was his first time hearing what happened during that time.

Lilia, who had stopped talking for a while, opened her mouth again.

“Brother Sihyeon, do you remember what happened that time? We were thinking of a way to get out, and suddenly your smartphone rang?”

“I remember.”

“It didn’t feel strange at the time because I focused only on getting out, but it was definitely abnormal– how could you get a signal there?”

I nodded my head without saying anything.

It sure was strange as she said.

There was no way there could be a base station in the world where we arrived after crossing the portal, but we were able to make calls from there very smoothly.

“So, for the past few days, when I kept thinking about the situation, I came up with a hypothesis.”

Everyone’s attention was focused on Lilia’s next words. She began to unravel her hypothesis with a little smug on her face.

“I think the world created by Brother Sihyeon probably overlaps with both worlds.”

“Overlaps?”

“Hmm…”

“Lilia, Explain it in a little more detailed way.”

Unlike me, whose head throbbed by an elusive explanation, the eyes of Andras and Esbern were beaming with interest.

“Brother, do you remember what you said when we went to the world created by Brother Sihyeon? You said it looked exactly like the scenery around the Demon farm.”

“Yes, I remember.”

Andras quickly found out that the landscape was similar to the Demon farm with his keen eyes, even though I couldn’t find it myself despite being there twice.

“At first, I thought it was a simple imitation of the landscape of the farm. But when I looked closely at it, that doesn’t seem to be the case.”

“Then…?”

“In short, the world created by Brother Sihyeon is both the Demon world and the Human world at the same time.”

“Excuse me…… Can you explain it so that I can understand it?”

I couldn’t understand Lilia’s words at all because of her very difficult explanation.

Hearing my request, Lilia explained once again to me, who was feeling dizzy.

“The world created by Brother Sihyeon. I call it ‘Vision world’ for convenience.”

“Vi… Vision world?”

“Yes. I heard from Brother Andras that the meaning of Brother Sihyeon’s name is ‘Vision’. So I took it from there.”

Turning a blind eye to my embarrassed face, Lilia continued to explain.

“The Vision world is connected to both the Demon world and the Earth. It’s not in the same dimension, but it seems to share some space and time. So, there must be a way to use the phenomenon to form a communication network.”

“That’s a pretty interesting hypothesis…….”

“Father, I was with Lilia at the time. I think that’s a pretty convincing hypothesis.”

Lord Schnarpe, his son, and his daughter put their heads together and continued a serious discussion about the world I created which was now named “Vision world” without any consent from me.

Most of the contents they spoke about were too complicated for me to understand.

So, in the end, it seems like we’re going with the name “Vision world”, which felt a little awkward for me.….

The conversation between the three people, who were having a heated discussion, slowly came to an end. Their eyes were filled with satisfaction.

“Sihyeon, as I just talked to Lilia, I think there’s a possibility of connecting the Earth to the Demon world. If you are interested, we will conduct research at the family level.”

Esbern asked me seriously.

The connection between the Earth and the Demon world…….

As Lilia said earlier, not being able to communicate with the other world was the only uncomfortable thing I had while working at the Demon farm.

As soon as I come to the Demon world, I get completely cut off from the other world. It was troublesome in many ways.

It was the frustration that occurs to one when there are restrictions on the use of smartphones. It is probably a very annoying feeling that anyone in modern times experienced.

But now, it can be solved!

I’m used to farm life more than I was before, and I don’t feel as much uncomfortable as it used to be when I first came, still if it’s possible to connect both worlds, I’m all in.

“I’d be happy if that could happen.”

“Okay. Then let’s do some research on how to connect this world with the other world.”

Esbern immediately replied that he would proceed with the study.

Even though he said he would be doing the research to repay my kindness, it’s as clear as day that they are just doing research because they want to.

Seeing their eyes gleaming with excitement, I could finally understand why the Schnarpe family was so famous for their outstanding technology.

As the conversation came to an end, Lilia quietly approached me and whispered.

“Brother Sihyeon.”

“……?”

“I think I will play a big role in the research that connects the Demon world and the Earth. Can you do me a favor?”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

She spoke cautiously, peering at Zaina.

“Can you talk to my mum and ask her to let me use my workshop again? If Brother Sihyeon says it, I’m sure my mum won’t be able to refuse.”

“Um….”

“I need research materials and equipment in the workshop to start the research in earnest. If you help me open my workshop, I’ll study it really hard. Promise… Please….”

Lilia clung to me with pitiful eyes. I almost nodded without realizing looking at her pathetic figure.

As I was thinking about what to do, Andras approached me and said,

“Sihyeon, I don’t think it’d be bad to go with Lilia’s request. My sister will be able to help us a lot with this study.”

“Isn’t it bad if an outsider intervenes in the family’s affairs for no reason?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Didn’t my mother already say that Sihyeon is like a family? I think those weren’t some empty words.”

He continued, looking towards Lilia.

“My sister made a big mistake, but recently she has been taking etiquette classes really hard and has been busy all day. Yet, she took the time to think about this because she wanted to help Sihyeon with the research that connects the Demon world and the Earth.”

I looked at Lilia with a slightly surprised look.

Lilia, who felt my eyes on her, blushed shyly.

“Okay. I’ll tell Zaina.”

“Really? Brother Sihyeon, thank you!”

Lilia smiled brightly and hugged my arm. Seeing her jumping up and down in excitement, a smile naturally bloomed on my face.

“As expected, Brother Sihyeon is so sweet. How about we get married for real?”

Hearing her playful words, I laughed.

“Hahaha…… Be Serious and don’t cause any more trouble. I won’t be able to bail you out next time.”

“Haaa… Okay…….”

Lilia frowned a little and answered.

Seeing her puffing her cheeks, I felt like I was looking at an immature sister of mine.

The fruits waiting for the harvest grew in a large field.

All the strawberries blessed by the fairies boasted a bright red color and freshness.

The appearance of the strawberry field ahead of harvesting was rich and it was such a pleasant feeling just by looking at it, but, only a few people had the leisure to enjoy that right now.

“Hurry up and move it. If you don’t put it in the storage quickly, it will lose freshness.”

“Oh? Be careful! You’re in big trouble if you spill it!”

Eldon villagers were busy harvesting and moving strawberries.

There was a time when I enjoyed the joy of harvesting, but these days, I wasn’t even allowed to go near it.

For the villagers, this strawberry field was the second most grateful and important thing after me, the Lord. It was a very precious place that changed the fate of the village which was filled with hardship in the past.

Naturally, the villagers began to consider this “strawberry harvest” as a very important event.

Looking at them working hard on the field, I felt like I made the right choice in creating this strawberry field.

It was not just the Beast-people who were working hard on the field. Among them, a Dragon descendent, Kroc, was also seen. He was working hard to help with his great physique and overflowing strength.

The villagers also perfectly adapted to his appearance, and now they treated him normally, without any sense of alienation.

“Oh! The Lord is here.”

The carefree Locus found me and came towards me. It was a figure that was completely contrary to everyone who was working busily.

Next to him was the chief of Eldon Village, Lagos, the Deerman.

“Lord, it’s been a long time since I saw you. How have you been?”

“Yes. I haven’t seen you in a while because I’ve been working on other things.”

I greeted the two happily.

“Did you come here to check the harvesting?”

“Yes. I was planning to help if you didn’t have enough workers…”

As a matter of fact, I tried to help, but Elder Poco blocked me with a stern face when he saw my hand that tried to pluck strawberries.

– Oh, my lord, please stop it. This old man will work harder, so please stop.

Elder Poco almost threw himself at me and stopped me.

Thus I was left with no choice but to watch the harvest from afar.

Locus giggled when he heard the story.

“Hahaha, of course. It’s helpful if the Lord just stays still and watches at times like this.”

“I’m good at picking strawberries, too…….”

“I agree with Locus, my Lord. I think it would be better for you to refrain from coming forward for things like this.”

“…”

Even though I own this strawberry field, it seems like I have no saying. By becoming a Lord, I lost some of the privileges of being a Farmer, which by the way is my main job.
