Chapter 48

The only ones who did not panic were the two aides.

In particular, Fizz’s eyes were bursting with flames like hellfire.

‘Our Majestic Majesty has come to experience the field of life where commoners live!’

The time has finally come to play an active part. His Majesty was watching the farmhouse himself!

Fizz raised his hands vigorously above the sky.

“I will help too!”

“… Same here”

If only Fizz was set free, the situation would be obvious after that, so Doher decided to endure with a smile.

Even if he hated it, it was his business. He needed to take good care of lacking colleagues.

Ejed nodded to the voluntary participation of the two reassuring aides.

The red-eyes looked over the wide strawberry field once more.

The place wonderfully offered the opportunity to experience the farm. They also assigned daily helpers to the participants, and the participants were able to take all the harvested strawberries.

That was why Annie visited this farmhouse among many strawberry farms. Through her travel books, she tried to tell that, even if it wasn’t a beautiful place, she could make happy memories with her family.

Now that he was able to become a strawberry helper, he made up his mind. He will harvest strawberries for Annie and protect her from any threat.

He asked the dubious strawberry farmer.

“Where are the arm gloves and hat?”

The farmer only then noticed Ejed’s intentions. The excuse for the tyrant to directly inspect or volunteer at the farmhouse in this place is ridiculous.

‘… Are you trying to hit the neck of the Harknon Emperor because you learned to disguise yourself as a daily helper for the strawberry experience?’

Recently, he heard the news that Harknon is also starting strawberry farming. This hypothesis was the most reliable.

If so, it may be possible to unify the continent. He can’t believe he was standing at the crossroads of a great history.

The strawberry farmer, who had long received a Porcaus farmers subsidy, was a subtle patriot.

He shouted loudly, as if he was scared.

“Please leave it to me!”

Upon arriving at the farm, Annie took out her little notebook and her pen.

‘Let’s see. It is very accessible and the soil is soft…’

However, the strawberry field was gloomy for some reason.

The strawberries shimmering under the bright sunlight gave off a horrified atmosphere.

‘… What’s wrong?’

Annie, who was worried, quickly found the reason. It was because the strawberry farmer and the workers standing right next to him were pale like a corpse.

Everyone smiled, but their mouths were stiff. It was like someone was forcibly pulling it up.

The strawberry farmer among them was relatively calm, but not everyone was so.

Annie asked carefully.

“Well, are you okay?”

“Yes! I-I-I’m very good! Ha! Hahaha! Hahahaha!”

“Me too. Ho ho ho ho!”

In response to the loud answer, Carla pulled at the hem of Annie’s shirt.

“Miss, it’s weird here. Well… it’s not like it’s human trafficking, is it?”

Annie, who noticed the suspicious feeling, nodded her head too. She even kept the magic crystal ball connected to her family in case of an unknown threat.

Thick sweat dripped from the foreheads of the workers at the strawberry farm. It was hot, but it was amazing how much they could sweat over a short period of time.

At that time, three people who were waiting in front of the strawberry field approached.

The strawberry farmer, who had always had a grim face, pointed at them with both hands.

“These people… No. These friends are volunteer helpers who will serve the Lady!”

“Ah yes. Nice to meet you.”

As the three people bowed in silence, Annie stared at them. They were really thoroughly armed people.

They wore large straw hats and gloves, and their fronts were completely covered.

Among them, one who seemed to be of towering height was exceptionally noticeable. He wrapped his whole body tight, and he looked like he was an excellent worker with his very good physique.

However, she wondered if everyone had a cold or was wearing a white mask.

‘Is it because of hygiene? Or, like trying to hide something…’

It’s suspicious. Why did they wear a hat so big and pressed it so deeply?

While Annie was thinking about it, Carla screamed.

“I think they are foreign workers.”

That opinion also makes sense. There were also people who were discriminated against because of their skin color.

Somehow she felt sad.

‘You’re away from your hometown and having a hard time in another place…’

Before long, the three handed Annie and Carla hand gloves, hats, and arm gloves.

The tall young man approached Annie. However, the hand of the young man handing over the work items faintly trembled.

‘… Are you an alcoholic?’

Anyone who trembled just by giving this was highly likely to be drinking or going through withdrawal.

Annie, who kept her vigilance, said politely.

“Thank you.”

“…”

‘You can’t speak the language yet?’

Annie, who had become awkward, meticulously put on her hand gloves and pulled on an arm glove.

At that time, Lang snuck out of the carriage and approached the tall young man.

People could be surprised because she was a big dog.

“Lang, stop. Come.”

Despite Annie’s orders, Lang didn’t stop her steps. Rather, she went to the young man and waved her tail.

‘Aren’t you scared?’

She looked anxiously, but the young man did not scream or go mad.

Hesitatingly, he carefully stretched out his arm and stroked Lang’s head.

As Lang quietly enjoyed the touch, Annie opened her eyes wide.

‘Why is she doing that today?’

She doesn’t have much of a cute personality and is indifferent to strangers. But to follow people like this…

No, the farm experience comes first.

Annie, who pressed down her curiosity, greeted lively.

“I look forward to your kind cooperation today.”

“We look forward to your kind cooperation today.”

A young man who was relatively short responded, and Annie tilted her head.

‘… He can speak the language.’

At that time, another young man stretched his arm straight up.

“To the strawberry experience!”

‘This one is also… full of energy.’

As she looked at them in surprise, Carla whispered.

“Miss, he’s not out of his mind, is he?”

“No way.”

There were so many strange people these days that Annie was a little nervous, contrary to her answer.

That’s how the strawberry experience began.
