“Welcome.”
“Hello.”
Ryan and I greeted the Angels with a welcoming look.
“Hello. It’s been a while”
Judge Ark received our greeting as a representative, and Ashmir and Klau, who were standing behind, bowed their heads briefly.
After a brief greeting, Ryan opened his mouth first in a slightly awkward atmosphere.
“Is anything wrong? I didn’t receive any message about guests coming……?”
“Hmm, hmm. I’m so sorry. I’ve been popping up as I wish since last time. “
“No, it’s fine.”
“I came this time because I wanted to talk to you about something. Can you spare me a moment?”
“I’m fine.”
When Ryan nodded, Ark’s eyes turned toward me, as if asking, [How about you?]
“Uh…… I’m fine, too.”
“That’s a relief. I won’t take that much time, so don’t worry.”
“Then shall we sit down and continue talking?”
Ryan guided the Angels to the table.
As Ark sat at the table, the other two Angels settled behind him as if escorting him.
“I’m sorry, I don’t have enough seats.”
“You don’t have to worry about us.”
“…….”
Ashmir and Klau remained calm as if standing was their mission.
“The reason I came all of a sudden is to let Sihyeon know that the discussions of the Angels about you have come to an end, plus to talk about some other things.”
“Decision of the Angels about me…….me?”
“I’m talking about the discussion to determine whether you are a threat to us or a person who can help us. And the discussion ended a while ago.”
“……?”
‘Didn’t he say that they were exchanging opinions? Is that discussion now over?’
I tried to restrain myself as much as possible, but without realizing it, the tension just came out on my face.
Ark burst out laughing looking at my expression.
“Hahaha, C’mon, Angels aren’t that bad. And it took more time because they thought things about you were very important.”
“Um…… I see.”
“Judge Ark, so what decision did the Angels make about Sihyeon?”
“It’s not that different from what I expected last time. They decided to put the decision about Sihyeon on hold for a while.”
On Hold.
Even when visiting the farm, Judge Ark said the Angels would put their decision on hold.
It was good news that the Angels didn’t come to catch me right away, but in other words, it meant that the decision could be reversed at any time.
When I made a vague expression at the news, Ark added as if to comfort me.
“Don’t pay too much attention to the decision. I think it’s rather a good thing. Knowing more about you will naturally change their perception about you.”
“I really hope so.”
“Take my word for it. I’m sure it will.”
He spoke with a confident look. Thanks to this, the uncomfortable feeling became a little more bearable.
“Did you come all the way here to tell me this news? I think you could have contacted me comfortably on the phone.”
“There are other things I want to ask you besides telling you this news.”
“……?”
“Do you know a YouTube channel called ‘Demon Girls’?
“……?!”
“They recently became a hot topic after uploading a video of a girl singing on the channel called ‘Demon Girls’.”
When the word “Demon Girls” came out, I and Ryan trembled at the same time.
Ark’s gaze at us deepened.
“Looking at the reaction, it was related to you.”
“…….”
“I heard that the little girl who sang in the video was your daughter…… Is that true?”
‘He came all the way here knowing that…….’
Ryan also had a puzzled look on his face.
Perhaps Ryan did not expect that the Angels would come out so quickly.
I hesitated for a moment to answer thinking it would cause harm to Speranza, and at the same time, it seemed like a thing that could not be passed on with a clumsy lie.
I nodded with a resigned look.
“Yes, that’s right. I uploaded a video of my daughter singing a song recently. But I took the video right away. I’ve turned the channel into private.”
“I know that, too.”
Ark showed signs of discomfort by creating deep wrinkles between his brows.
It felt like the first time he had expressed such blatant negative emotions since we first met.
“Sihyeon, this was very disappointing. Why on earth did you do that?”
“I’m sorry, it was my fault. The children are not at fault.”
“Judge Ark! It’s true that many people have seen the video, but I don’t think it caused a big problem for the Angels to get involved. On top of that, the video got taken down quickly.”
Ryan defended me so vigorously that he came to the edge of his seat. However, Ark said seriously, still not letting go of his stern expression.
“That’s the problem.”
“…….”
“…….”
“Why did you take down the video?”
“……Huh?”
“……?”
“I subscribed to the channel and pressed the ‘Like’ button. I was looking forward to what videos they would post in the future. Why did you turn the channel private?”
I doubted myself hearing Ark’s words.
‘Did I hear it wrong?’
I turned my head and looked to the side.
Seeing Ryan’s dumbstruck expression, it felt like I didn’t hear it wrong.
“Uh…… Judge Ark…… You subscribed?”
“Oh, yes! Of course. I really enjoyed it and hoped there would be a lot of songs in the future.”
“…….”
“It can’t be helped because they were beginners, but what’s wrong with the sound quality? It was such a great song but the sound quality was a real put-off! As a Judge, that’s a crime.”
Ark was angry to the point where his face turned red a little.
I nodded with a puzzled expression.
“I’m sorry. The video was prepared by the children, so there were parts they couldn’t pay attention to…….”
“Hmm, I was a little over-excited, too. Anyway, I hope they pay attention to that next time.”
“Um, hold on a second. Is it okay to upload a video from the Demon world?”
“Why are you asking that? Did you think I would scold you for it?”
My blunt nod elicited a burst of laughter from Ark.
“Haha! I don’t think so at all. Rather, I was disappointed because the video disappeared.”
“Really? I thought you came today to point out how wrong it was to upload a video.”
“I thought the same.”
“You won’t have to worry about it. Maybe the other Angels also feel the same as me.”
Ark continued with his usual kind smile.
“It’s true that the Angels are watching you, but you don’t have to be too self-conscious. Do what you want to do, as I said before. Then everything will work out.”
“So you don’t mind if we keep uploading videos?”
“Of course. Didn’t I tell you before? I was looking forward to the next video. Oh! And Klau loved the video, too. Isn’t that right, Klau?”
Ryan and I looked at Klau with a look of disbelief.
I never thought an Angel with a heart of steel would love a video of a little girl.
Klau, who had little change in his expression, slightly avoided our gaze.
“Were you surprised that we liked the video?”
“Uh… Yes, honestly, I didn’t know that the Angels would like a YouTube video.”
“Angels might come off as beings who are repulsive towards human fun stuff, ‘Of course, they do hate most, but music is something most Angels are interested in. Quite a few Angels play musical instruments as a hobby.”
“Oh….”
I was amazed at the unexpected trivia about the Angels.
Maybe it was because I’d only seen them as beings with little emotion and a stiff appearance, but the fact that they like music felt very new.
“If you closed the channel because you were worried about us, you don’t have to. Don’t worry about it and do whatever you want.”
“Thank you, Judge Ark.”
“Haha! I’m more grateful. It’s been a long time since I heard such a beautiful song.”
After the conversation, the Angels soon left the office.
Even before leaving, Ark kept insisting on uploading the next video as soon as possible.
“Huh… I’m surprised that it was a completely different reaction than I expected.”
“Me, too. I thought they would be negative about uploading a video of the Demon world.”
Ryan scratched his cheek with a troubled look.
“Now, I feel a little sorry for Lilia and Speranza. Because I overreacted, the video and channel they worked hard on disappeared…….”
“Don’t say that, Ryan. It’s because you were worried about them. The kids will understand.”
“Then, what are you going to do? I don’t think there would be any trouble if they keep uploading videos.”
“Um… I should ask the children’s opinions first.”
Speranza and Lilia were the ones who started this, so I decided to respect their thoughts.
The corners of my mouth slightly went up as I thought of the reaction of the two girls in my head.
“Papa, really?”
“Brother Sihyeon, can we really keep uploading videos?”
Speranza and Lilia, who heard the news, looked up at me with sparkling eyes.
“Yes, you can upload.”
“Yayyy!”
“Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!”
The two cheered and hugged each other, and danced, expressing their joy.
They were so loud, to the point where all the farm members in the building flocked in surprise.
The children’s excitement did not subside even while I was explaining the situation to everyone.
“I’ll support you guys if you need anything. Instead, you have to get it tested by me before you upload the video, okay?”
“Un!”
“Sure, Brother Sihyeon.”
At the same time as answering, Speranza hugged my legs and Lilia hugged my hands tightly.
They hugged me so tightly that my body shook for a moment.
They hugged me and I patted the children’s smiling heads one by one.
“Oh, you like it that much?”
“Hehe.”
“Heehee, I love it.”
After the video and channel went down, I felt bad because the two were depressed for a while.
Seeing them happy like this made me feel better, and other farm members also watched the children with happy faces.
“Welcome.”
“Hello.”
Ryan and I greeted the Angels with a welcoming look.
“Hello. It’s been a while”
Judge Ark received our greeting as a representative, and Ashmir and Klau, who were standing behind, bowed their heads briefly.
