“Are you saying that as an excuse?” 

This voice was… Reville’s voice?  

I followed the voice and moved hastily. 

Andras followed me. 

When we reached the spot, there was Reville grabbing someone by the collar with both hands. 

” Reville? What the hell’s going on?” 

“You’re here, Sihyeon.” 

“Yes, I came down in a hurry because the intruder alarm went off in the strawberry storage.” 

“Hmm…” 

Reville suppressed his anger.  

Even those who would have greeted me happily if it were usual, were awkward and timid.  

Judging from the atmosphere, it didn’t seem to be a malfunction of the alarm. 

“Oh! I guess he’s the owner of the strawberry field.
It’s an honor to meet you Sir!”  

A cat Beast-man held by Reville by the collar, greeted me gently. 

Compared to Reville, who was also the Beast-man of the same species, he looked a little sharper and slimmer.  

I know all the faces of Beast-people coming to the strawberry field, but he was completely new to me. 

I was about to answer the polite greeting, but Reville grabbed him roughly once again and shook him by the collar.  

“Don’t talk nonsense to Sihyeon, Derick! You’re still out of your mind!!”  

He was extremely agitated and violently pushed a Beast-man named Derick.  

Nevertheless, Derick responded rather slyly. 

“Ah! It’s really a misunderstanding, Brother Revillele, why are you so angry?”  

“It’s because you have been hanging around the strawberry storage which has nothing to do with you?”

“I just looked around out of curiosity.”  

“You think I don’t know what you’re up to? You’re here to steal strawberries, aren’t you?”  

“Hahahah, do you have proof?” 

“You crazy b*tch!” 

As the agitated Reville raised his fist, several people around him surrounded him. 

“Reville, calm down.”  

“Sir Sihyeon is here too, what’s the deal with this?” 

“Don’t you guys see him playing tricks?”  

“OK, just stop it, stop it!” 

The men rushed in and separated the two. 

Reville was surrounded by several people but he couldn’t calm down.  

Derick, on the other hand, smiled leisurely and trimmed his clothes. 

Looking at the situation, it seemed that the reason why the alarm in the storage room went off was because of the Beast-man Derick. 

“Sir Sihyeon, I’m sorry for causing such a disturbance.” 

“Elder Poco!” 

Elder Poco approached me and bowed politely.  

“What happened, Elder?” 

“The first person to come to the strawberry field today must have touched the entrance to the storage area.
He said he was curious and he tried to open it.” 

“That’s all right, well… he could have made a mistake.
By the way, I’ve never seen Derick.
Is he new to the village?”  

“He is a resident who originally lived in Elden village.
He went out to the city to make money, but recently he came back.”  

“Why is Revillele so angry when he’s from the same village? From the conversation, it sounds like they even know each other.”

“Hmm… That’s….”  

Elder hesitated and couldn’t open his mouth easily. 

I could quickly see that there was something complicated. 

“Sihyeon, I’ll check the status of the alarm that I installed in the storage.”  

“Thank you.
Andras.”  

Andras took a hint and left. 

When we were left alone, Elder Poco opened his mouth with difficulty. 

“Derick……that guy’s been hanging out with some shady guys in the city.
Revillele says he has committed a number of crimes with them.” 

“Hmm.” 

“They were very close when they were young.
But after seeing what Derick was doing in the city, Reville cut off the ties with him…”  

“That’s why Reville was so angry at the mistake.” 

“It’s not a mistake!” 

Reville strode over here. 

He breathed heavily, as if his anger had not subdued up yet.

“He’s obviously here for strawberries.”  

“Calm down.
There wasn’t any damage to the storage.”  

“You shouldn’t think that way.
I know him well.
I should have stopped him from coming here in the first place…”

He crumpled his face and vented his anger.  

While I was confused by the not so usual emotional appearance of Reville, someone approached me and pulled my clothes. 

BOW

“Ah? Miru what happened.?!” 

“I’m sorry, Uncle…” 

Miru apologized with her ears and tail drooping. 

I couldn’t help but be confused by Miru’s sudden drooping appearance. 

I asked, lowering my body and making eye contact with Miru. 

“Huh? Why are you sorry, Miru?”” 

“Uncle Derick followed me.” 

“Uncle?” 

NOD. 

“That’s Miru’s mother’s younger brother.
My uncle, to be exact.” 

“So he followed Miru?” 

“Yes.
He insisted on checking where I was working and followed me.” 

“Hmm.” 

“I said he shouldn’t get close to the storeroom.
I’m so sorry.” 

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” 

Miru apologized for his uncle’s fault in a tearful voice.  

I hugged Miru and patted her gently on the back.  

She seemed to blame herself for failing to stop her uncle’s bad behavior.  

I was proud of such an adult appearance of the child, but on the other hand, I felt sorry for her.  

Perhaps she felt more guilty knowing her uncle’s usual bad behavior.  

I turned my head slightly and looked at the man in question.  

He was chatting with the villagers with a completely innocent face. 

The irresponsible look made me feel bitter.  

Don’t judge a person by his first impression. 

I remembered the conversation I had with Andras a while ago. 

I thought for a moment.  

He made his niece apologize in his stead, and was chatting as if nothing happened! 

I couldn’t give a good evaluation to Derick.

It seems like an uninvited guest came to the strawberry field.
