My eyes opened wide when I saw the name Yoon Jiwoon mentioned in the message.
The content was also different from those sent by other entertainment agencies and also mentioned a contact number.
Of course, I suspected phishing at first.
Now his popularity has waned, however, it was Yoon Jiwoon, who was once boasted as a huge star in the music industry. That kind of singer suddenly contacts me after watching Speranza’s video.
If you are an ordinary person, you have no choice but to doubt first than to rejoice. Mentioning famous people by name is one of the most common practices in scams.
However, even though I was suspicious of this, on the other hand, I was tempted.
Yoon Jiwoon was Speranza’s favorite singer, and also a singer that I liked when I was young.
So I called the contact number written in the message just in case.
– It’s Park Jaeyoung from the Matel public relations team.
“Hello? Are you the one who left contact information on the YouTube channel [Demon Girls]?”
– Huh? YES YES. It was me. Thank you. Thank you so much for contacting.
The man who took the call answered in a very welcoming voice as soon as he heard the name ‘Demon Girls’.
-I hope you were not offended by the sudden message asking you to contact me.
“No, it’s alright. These days, I’ve been receiving so many messages from the agencies that I’m a little used to it.”
– I see. I’m not part of the recruitment team, but I recommend that you be careful as much as possible. Even if this industry has become very transparent, there are still many scammers.
“Thank you for the advice.”
The man answered with a small laugh.
– Haha, it’s not that big of a deal. By the way, are you the person who runs the [Demon Girls] channel?
“As a guardian, I’m in charge of temporary management. Creating the channel and uploading videos are done by the girls.”
– Then the girl who was singing in the video……?
“That’s my daughter.”
– Oh, you’re the father. I saw the video and was surprised by your daughter’s cuteness and singing skills.
He started complimenting Speranza for a while.
It was always a pleasant thing for a parent to hear the praise of their child, so I also had a happy smile on my face when I heard the praise of my daughter.
– Anyway, thank you for contacting me like this. When I was asked by Jiwoon, I was worried about what to do.
“Is the person you’re talking about really singer Yoon Jiwoon
– Of course. The one who sang [Memories of Meeting] that your daughter sang.
“A famous person like that suddenly said he would send me a concert ticket…… I still can’t believe it.”
– He doesn’t usually ask me to do this. He even called me himself and asked me to do it. He said he wanted to meet the girl in the video.
“…….”
When I stopped answering in the middle, the man hurriedly added.
– Oh! If you feel pressured, you can refuse. Jiwoon also told me not to force you. You can just have the concert tickets.
Well…
It was already surprising that Yoon Jiwoon asked to contact us, and it was even more surprising that he wanted to meet Speranza.
– I’m saying this just in case. The reason Jiwoon wants to meet is probably not for any business purpose. He just watched your daughter’s video and was really impressed. According to the manager, he seemed to have watched the video dozens of times.
“Uh… Is that so?”
– Please think about it positively and contact me again whenever you feel like it. I will send you the concert tickets right away so that you can get them online.
“Thank you.”
Soon after ending the call with the man, I received four tickets for Yoon Jiwoon’s concert.
As I kept looking at the ticket I got as a gift with a bit of a complicated mind…….
-Hug!
I felt like someone was hugging my leg tightly.
When I looked down, Speranza smiled and looked at me.
“Papa, whatcha doin’?”
“Um. I was on the phone with someone.”
“Who?”
“…….”
I couldn’t think of what to answer.
Instead of answering, I took Speranza in my arms and brought up another topic.
“Speranza, do you want to go to Yoon Jiwoon’s concert?”
“Concert? What’s concert Papa?”
I briefly explained to Speranza who didn’t know the meaning of the word concert, and as soon as she heard the answer, Speranza twinkled her eyes and made an expression of surprise.
“If I go to the concert, can I listen to Yoon Jiwoon’s songs?”
“Yes, you can see him sing in person.”
“I want to go! I want to go to the concert, Papaaaa!”
Speranza raised her hands and shouted.
Seeing that she liked it more than I thought, I smiled as well. I thought I should add Yoon Jiwoon’s concert to my year-end vacation schedule as well.
“Then are the preparations for the strawberry field finished?”
“Yes, the greenhouse installation is in the final stage, and I think the preparation will be done as soon as Andras finishes checking the storage.”
“What about Racoon grandpa’s brewery?”
“We are planning to gradually reduce production because it will be difficult to get honey supply in winter. Still, he said there would be no big problem for the time being because he had a lot of beer made in advance.”
When I asked about the Estate’s preparations for the winter, Lagos answered without hesitation.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, so I just nodded.
“How’s the preparation for winter food coming along?”
“I think we’ll be able to prepare a lot more than we expected if we add up to the amount the merchants will bring in a few days.”
In the first winter as a lord, I put a lot of thought into this and that. Still, I felt proud that it went as well as I prepared and planned.
With that heart, I told Lagos who worked hard.
“That’s perfect. You’ve done a great job, Lagos.”
“I just did what I had to do, my lord.”
Lagos answered very modestly, bowing his head.
He answered casually, but he was the busiest person while preparing for the winter.
With all the things I said, there should have been a lack of manpower.
It was no exaggeration to say that Lagos made up for the lack alone.
Later, when winter preparations were over and relaxed, I thought to myself that I would prepare a separate reward for Lagos who suffered.
I went around the territorial facilities with Lagos and headed toward Elden Village.
As soon as I entered, I smelled something burning in the chilly wind.
We naturally followed the burning smell and took our steps.
“Me, too, Uncle Reville!”
“I haven’t received it yet either!”
“These guys! I’ll divide them up in order, so wait slowly. Greg, is it not ready yet?”
“Well, it’ll be soon.”
Reville and Greg were grumbling and baking something around the makeshift oven, and there were a lot of children around it.
“Oh, it’s the lord!”
“My lord!”
“My lord!”
The children who found me crowded in and surrounded me. Cute children wearing winter fur clothes looked up at me with bright eyes.
I patted each one on the head, and the children seemed very happy just from the pat on the head.
“So, What are you guys doing here?”
“Uncle Reville is making roasted sweet potatoes.”
“Roasted sweet potatoes are delicious.”
“Lord, let’s eat together!”
Calming down the excited children, I headed to where Reville and Greg were.
As soon as Greg saw me, he greeted me, standing up straight.
“Huh? I… I greet the lord.”
Even Reville found me belatedly and tried to get up, but I stopped him with a gesture.
Reville took an awkward posture for a moment, then settled down in front of the oven again.
“Are you making roasted sweet potatoes?”
“Yes. I was going to eat with Greg alone. But before I knew it, the children came in and…….”
Reville blurted out his words with a tired look on his face.
“Hahaha! Can I help you?”
“No, my lord. You and Lagos are busy preparing for the winter. The vigilante group is rather free at times like this, so we should at least do this.”
“Leader, I think the roasted sweet potatoes are cooked”
“Okay. One by one, come here and get it. Be careful with your hands because it’s hot.”
Reville took out the steaming roasted sweet potatoes from the oven one by one and handed them out.
The children ate the roasted sweet potatoes deliciously without knowing that black charcoal was on their hands and faces.
“ Hoho… They’re giving sweet potatoes to children.”
At that time, a blonde Demon crept up to the oven.
“Hmm, it smells good.”
Reville found Locus and swung the tongs that were flipping roasted sweet potatoes into the air.
“Shushu. Go away! I don’t have enough for you.”
“Oh, C’mon, pal. A few days ago, we drank together, right?”
“I almost couldn’t go out to work as a vigilante because you stuck to me every day to drink.”
“When you were drinking, you had a ball, but now you’re using me as an excuse……. That sends the wrong message to the children, pal.”
“What? You punk!”
When Reville wielded the tongs menacingly, Locus widened the distance with a grumpy smile.
Then he found me in the back and pretended as if nothing happened.
“Oh? The Lord is here.”
“Hey, Locus.”
“Are you here to look at the village, my lord?”
“I was looking around the estate to check the winter preparations.”
Locus forced Reville to give him a roasted sweet potato and said.
“You don’t have to worry, my lord. With this much preparation, we’ll be able to last until next winter, not this year’s.”
“It’s better to be thorough.”
“That’s true…… Huh? Did you not come with other people today? I don’t see the clumsy Dragon Demon maid, or young Master Andras, or the Verdi kid.”
Lagos, who was next to Locus, suddenly flinched.
Of course, I answered the question, passing it lightly.
“I heard everyone is busy today. I’m looking around the estate with only Lagos today.”
“Really? You’ll be going back to the farm in a little while, right? Maybe I should also come along to see Andras’ face and Leader?”
“Yeah, that would be great, how about we go right now…….”
“Oh, NO!”
Suddenly, Lagos screamed.
Locus and I looked at Lagos in amazement.
Reville, who was sitting in front of the oven, responded similarly to us.
Lagos, who suddenly shouted, also looked very embarrassed and restless.
“Hmm… Lagos? Is something wrong?”
“Ah… It’s not that…… I have more to report to my lord today. You can’t go back to the farm yet.”
“Is that so? Then let’s take our time.”
As I nodded, Lagos’ anxious expression became more relaxed. The rest of the people looked at each other with puzzled expressions at his strange appearance.
My eyes opened wide when I saw the name Yoon Jiwoon mentioned in the message.
