“Griffin’s egg?”
Griffin – A creature with an eagle’s head and wings and a lion’s body?
I opened my eyes wide and looked alternatively between the two big eggs and Bebeto.
Bebeto continued his explanation calmly as if he had expected my reaction.
“Some hunters accidentally found the eggs that were abandoned. There were a lot of Griffin’s feathers around them, so they immediately noticed that it was Griffin’s egg and brought it to the Barbatos family..”
Andras added a timely explanation when I couldn’t comprehend the situation.
“The symbol of the Barbatos family is Griffin. In the past, they used to tame and breed Griffin themselves, ride it around like a horse or use it for combat.”
“Oh! That would have been awesome.”
I was amazed when I imagined people riding it and stirring the battlefield.
Bebeto replied with a beaming smile as if he was sympathetic to my words.
“According to the family records, the fighting with a Griffin was so awe-inspiring that many knights came to Barbatos and swore allegiance. There is also a record that a Griffin was awarded to a knight who actually made a great contribution. Now, of course, it is a story of the past.”
His last words ended with a bitter smile.
“It’s a story of the past
..do you mean that there is no Griffin now?”
“Yes, a long time ago, because of an unknown epidemic, most of the Griffin we raised in our family died. Even the few which managed to survive the epidemic didn’t reproduce.”
“I see
..But, if the hunters finds the eggs like this, doesn’t that mean there’s still Griffin in the wild? Can’t you tame the griffins in the wild?”
“As you said, there have been several attempts to tame the griffins in the wild, but they all ended up in failure. The wild-grown adult griffins refused the touch of Demons, while the young griffins who were just born, did not grow up properly and died quickly.”
As the story progressed, it was not difficult to guess why Bebeto brought Griffin’s eggs.
“Are you going to leave those Griffin eggs with me?”
“You’ve guessed it right. As you just said, We want Sir. Sihyeon’s help with these eggs.”
“Hmm
”
“The Barbatos has been watching with interest since we heard that Sir. Sihyeon had tamed Yakum on this farm. And it is also said you tamed the fairies and the bees
”
“Well, the word ‘tame’ is a little vague. I don’t really think I’m in that kind of  relationship with them.”
Bebeto bowed his head in surprise, as if he thought I was offended.
“Ah! If you feel uncomfortable because of my expression, I apologize.”
“No, you don’t have to bow. I’m just a little surprised since most of the Demons in the Demon world think like that.”
Bebeto sighed with relief.
Now, what should I do with these Griffin’s eggs

I looked once again at the two eggs that lay in the box.
I know why the Barbatos is trying to leave this egg to me, but the thought that I did not want to take up this offer was bigger in my head.
With the birth of Aara and Dora, I felt once again how difficult it is to bring a life into this world and take care of them.
In addition, I thought it was close to gambling for me to protect these eggs without any knowledge of Griffins.
“Sorry, I don’t think I can be of any help. It seems like the Barbatos have had a hard time getting these eggs, but I’m not confident since I don’t know anything about Griffin.”
“No Sir, wait a minute.”
Bebeto spewed out as I appeared to turn down the offer.
“You don’t have to feel pressured about the proposal. We know how difficult it is since we failed several times, so we’re asking Sir. Sihyeon to just give it a try.”
“Ummm
”
“And if Sir. Sihyeon can’t take care of these eggs, the griffins inside these eggs are close to being dead. The griffins in the wild will never touch the eggs that are touched by the Demons, and we don’t have the ability to make them hatch.”
I frowned at the words that if I don’t help, there’s no hope for the guys in the eggs.
I wanted to shoot back saying, [Why did you bring Griffin’s eggs if you don’t have the ability to raise them?] But what’s going to happen by blaming them for something that has already happened?
PULL!
I looked around as I felt someone pulling my clothes, and at the end of my sight, there was Speranza who stared at me with a lot of worries in her big eyes.
“Papa
 do these babies also don’t have a mom and dad?”
“Um
 I guess so.”
Speranza, who has been separated from her parents at a young age, seems to feel sorry for the young griffins, who also lost their parents.
“Can’t Papa take care of those babies?
 Speranza will also help papa, a lot?”
Speranza asked me while moistening her eyes.
If I didn’t accept, it felt like she might start crying.
Bebeto did not miss the opportunity and quickly spoke to me who was in confusion.
“I will guarantee some support for the construction of the facility in return for your help. And if the griffins successfully hatch, we’ll build all the facilities you need for free in the future.”
“Oh! Is that true? then beer brewing?”
“Of course. If you want, I’ll invite a craftsman who has expertise in beer to make it perfect.”
Kaneff responded favorably to Bebeto’s suggestion.
Alfred and Lia also looked similar.
All that’s left is my choice.
There was a slight reluctance because it seemed like we were bargaining with small creatures that could not speak, but it was also uncomfortable to just send Griffin’s eggs back.
Speranza, who is not usually stubborn, also asks me to do this.
“Okay. I’m not sure if I can do it, but I’ll take care of Griffin’s eggs for now.”
“Are you accepting the offer? Thank you very much, thank you.”
“Of course, you’ll have to do your best to build the facility.”
“Of course, we will. We will make the facility as strong and comfortable as possible. Leave it to me, Sir.”
Bebeto showed a confident attitude, beating his chest.
Speranza was happy to hear that I’ll be taking care of Griffin’s eggs, and other farm members also looked positive, except for one – Andras.
Andras had a serious look on his face as if he was worried about something serious.
“Andras? Is there anything you don’t like?”
“No, it’s not. Rather than saying there is a problem with the proposal, I doubt the person who came to make it.”
“
?”
Andras’s serious eyes turned to Bebeto.
Naturally, Bebeto became tense at the piercing eyes of Andras.
“As far as I know, the work regarding Griffins is very important to the Barbatos family. Why didn’t the immediate family member come and instead send one from the branch family?”
“That’s
”
Bebeto couldn’t immediately answer Andras’s question, and only his lips trembled.
“And the promise of building all the facilities on the farm for free seems to be a promise that can’t be easily decided with the authority of a branch family member
”
“What? Was the promise a random lie?”
Kaneff frowned hearing Andras’ words.
Bebeto made an excuse by shaking his hands so much that his whole body shook.
“Oh, you’re mistaken. How am I going to make a false suggestion to people here?”
Bebeto explained desperately.
“Of course, as Sir. Andras said, my authority in the family is weak, but this proposal has been temporarily recognized by the head of Barbatos. I could write down the proposal I told you about by tomorrow and stamp it with our family seal.”
Kaneff’s face, which was frowned, got slightly loosened hearing the reply.
But the heavy gaze of Andras was still pressing on Bebeto.
He hesitated for a moment and continued his story with a helpless look.
“Unfortunately, I can’t tell you why I came up with the proposal. I’m not in a position to open my mouth since it’s intertwined with important internal issues within the family.”
“I see. There’s nothing we can do if it’s about the internal affairs of the family.”
“I’m sorry.”
Eventually, we were not told the reason for leaving Griffin’s eggs with me.
As Andras said, I can’t force myself to ask about other people’s family affairs.
Moreover, I and the farm members didn’t care much about that.
After the talk of building farm facilities and Griffin’s eggs, Bebeto immediately examined the land around the farm and the conditions of the original facilities.
He looked around the barn for the expansion of the barn.
Bebeto was so scared of Chorongi, Aara, and Dora, who were resting on the inside.
“SIR, SIR. SIHYEON”. Is it really okay? They’re not going to jump on me all of a sudden, right?”
“It’s fine. Those guys are nice, they never do that. No! If you close your eyes, how can you look around?”
Bebeto clung to my back and trembled as if he was going through a haunted house.
When he finally checked the internal structure and came out, his whole body was drenched with cold sweat.
I didn’t know he’d be this scared.
I should have sent Chorongi and the babies outside.
Still, Bebeto showed his professional spirit even though his legs were shaking, checking the surrounding terrain and surveying the land until the end.
“We have completed all the necessary preliminary checks. I will visit you again when the specific construction plan is completed. And please take care of Griffin’s eggs.”
Bebeto left the farm with his group, leaving the last words asking me to take care of the eggs.
After seeing them off, I returned to the farm building and headed to my room on the second floor.
“Papa Papa!”
Speranza greeted me from the bed in the room.
And beside her lay two large eggs, surrounded by pillows and cloth.
“Papa, look. The egg is so smooth.”
Speranza carefully stroked them with an expression of wonder.
I forced a smile on my face to keep up with Speranza’s excitement, but looking at the eggs on the bed, I was very worried.
‘How do I hatch these eggs
?’
If they had their parents, they would probably have kept them in their arms
Should I buy a chick hatcher or something?
Well, these guys are too big to fit in.
I stroked the surface of the egg with a worried look on my face

-Wuuu


“Huh?”
-C o l d

Suddenly I heard someone’s whisper.
