Chapter 21
Chapter 21
While drinking Hermosa's milk and admiring its taste.
An alarm started ringing continuously in my head.
All of a sudden, the stamina', strength', magic', and resistance' stats rose at the same time.
I looked at the alarm again with a puzzled expression.
Effect of Yakum's trust'?
Apparently, the drinking of Yakums milk and Yakum's trust ability were somehow linked to cause this effect.
After a long time, I brought up the status window.

Yakum's Trust[Rare]
Proof of gaining the trust of the Yakum group.
The indomitable will reside.
-Resistance' ability is greatly increased.
The first thing I noticed in the status window is the abilities that had risen to such an extent that it felt strange.
Stamina', Magic' and Strength' increased evenly, and Agility' and Knowledge' slightly increased.
But why has the resistance stat increased so much?
I remember it was only 1 at first, but it went up over 20.
I didn't think it had anything to do farm work, and I have no intention of participating in dangerous battles, so I haven't checked it until now.
My current status window.
Something is strange.
Even without much knowledge in these kind of things, I was able to understand that the current growth was not normal.
As I pondered about the strange phenomenon, I quickly shook my head to shake off all my thoughts.
Well, high ability doesn't mean it's bad, as long as I can do farm work without any problems, it doesn't matter.
I roughly closed the status window in front of me.
My attention was directed to the Hermosa's Milk, which remained halfway in the bottle.
When I drank it myself, I could clearly see why it is treated as precious by the Demon Lord.
Aside from the fact that the stats being risen, I was really surprised by the intense reaction I felt all over my body.
I felt like my energy is rising and my head getting very clear.
The fatigue that had accumulated from the hectic schedule in the morning has gone away.
They say that the body reacts first before mind while sensing a good medicine, and it seemed to be referring to the current situation.
Looking at the faces of Kaneff and Lia, who had already finished drinking the bottle, they seemed to feel the same way as me.
And noticing that the two of them were staring at the rest of the milk in my bottle, I quickly poured the remaining milk from Hermosa into my mouth.
Putting their regretful expressions behind me, I felt the energy welling up all over my body again and made a proud expression.
As soon as I felt refreshed, the image of mother naturally came to my mind.
Mr Andras. Can I take another bottle ?
When I returned home from work, mother was in the midst of preparing to move to new house.
I looked at the luggage piled up in the corner of the house and found a very old woollen Blanket.
Why dont we throw away this blanket?"
"Why throw it? It's still usable."
Useful ! This. The bottom here is completely torn off. let's throw this away Okay?"
If I tweak it a little, wouldnt we be able to use it for a few more years?
I want to throw away the old and infrequently used ones,
Mother's opinion continued to clash with mine, saying that it is still usable and that we may need it someday.
Old pots in the kitchen, old and creaky chests of drawers, and TVs that are likely to cost more to repair.
I decided to throw them all away the day we moved.
Mother was worried that I was spending money unnecessarily, but I reassured her that it was okay over and over again.
Then we started tidying up mother's closet.
There were clothes that were all bought by my father when he was alive.
Seeing mother carefully organizing her old clothes made me emotional.
"Mom. Next time When we buy new furniture, I'll buy mom's new clothes too."
"Why? I have a lot of clothes.
A lot of them Theyre all old clothes, so theyre not pretty anymore.
Still, all these are bought by your father, who thought they were pretty.
I shut my mouth for a moment at the sudden talk about father.
In response to my reaction, my mother diverted the topic blatantly.
Ugh. I was just doing some packing. Why do I feel like my body aches like this?"
Okay, lets clean it up together while Im here.
"I'm resting at home, so I have to do it a little bit. That way, my son can rest at home after work."
I walked over to her back and started massaging mothers shoulders and back.
After rubbing mother's sore spot for a while, I went to the refrigerator, took Hermosas milk I stored and brought it back to mother.
"Mom. Drink this.
What is this?
I brought it from the farm. Very tasty.
When the lid of the glass bottle was opened, a fragrant smell spread out.
Mother put on a curious expression.
Do you also raise dairy cows on the farm where you work?
Yeah. similar.
When I turned around moderately, mother, without much doubt, took the glass bottle to her mouth.
gulp. gulp.
Mother, who was slowly tasting Hermosa's milk, startled, and she asked.
"Oh! Did you put honey in it? Its very Sweet. Its very delicious
I havent put anything in there. I brought it as is.
Si, Did you drink it? Its so delicious. Its a shame that I am drinking it alone.
I drank a lot on the farm. I brought it for mom, so drink the rest right away.
Hearing my answer, mother drank the remaining milk from the glass bottle.
Mom, how is it ?
Its really delicious. If I could buy it with money, I would want to buy it everyday.
Isnt there anything like overflowing energy or getting better ?
I dont feel anything like that.
I was a little disappointed by the response that was different from what I had expected.
Was it greed to hope for a dramatic change with just one bottle?
However, seeing mother who really enjoyed the taste of milk, I quickly brushed off my disappointment.
"mom. Shall I bring you one next time?"
Ugh. is that okay? I think it will be very expensive.
Its not about buying with money anyway. They told me to bring a few bottles because of my work at farm.
Oh, is that so?
Mother seemed to be looking forward.
It seemed like she liked Hermosas milk.
I thought I should definitely bring one bottle for mother everyday.
Today is the day we move into our new house.
In the morning, I moved my belongings with a moving company and organized things to be thrown away.
There were a lot of things to throw away, so there wasn't as much luggage as I thought.
With the help of the experienced staff, we were able to vacate the house in no time.
We're finally leaving.
I looked at the empty house for a moment with mixed emotions.
I thanked the house for sheltering us through the difficult times and closed the door.
We rented a car from the moving company, and headed to our new house with the moving stuff.
Mother continued talking with a bright expression the whole way.
We just moved to our new house today, and suddenly I feel refreshed and my body is light. I think this is the first time Ive experienced something like this after surgery."
Seeing my mother's smiling face, I also smiled happily.
Mother thinks it's because of her mood, but from what I've been watching for a few days, it's absolutely not because of her mood.
After drinking Hermosa's milk everyday, mother changed completely.
She underwent major surgery and suffered from severe aftereffects.
Recently, she showed an energetic appearance, as if she had returned to before the operation.
It could have happened by chance, though.
I was convinced that, it was because of the Hermosas milk inside her.
I tried it myself, and the period of dramatic change was exquisite.
While thinking like that, the moving goods arrived at our new house,
When the staff moved large furniture and luggage, me and my mother helped them arrange and organize.
When we finished moving all the things, the time was already a little past lunch time.
I handed the contract money promised in advance to the employees and sent them saying my thanks.
While I was unpacking my luggage, mother came from outside after buying something.
Mom. What is that?
"Yes. There is a rice cake shop nearby. So, I bought it to it to our neighbours.
"Rice cake ? I dont think they do such kind of formalities here.
I don't know what other people are like, but this isn't a bad thing, isn't it? It must have been noisy because we moved today, so I have to say sorry and a hello.
I glanced at what my mother had bought. The colourful rice cakes were beautifully wrapped in a small paper bag.
With the wrapped rice cakes, me and mother headed to her next door.
I was compelled to follow.
Ding-dong! Ding Dong!
Even to the sound of the doorbell, there was no response from the neighbour.
Did they go to work?
"Perhaps not ? It's the afternoon on a weekend."
Just as my mother and I were about to turn around, we heard a voice from inside the house.
-who are you?
Ah ! Were the ones who moved next door today. Were here to say hello and deliver some rice cakes."
Chuckle
The door slowly opened, revealing a woman with a haggard look.
It was as if her clothes were loosely draped over her messy hair.
Ahhh! smell of alcohol
The strong smell of alcohol wafted from her body as she drank so much.
We moved next door,
We came here to say hello. It might have been a bit noisy in the morning. If we had known you were resting, we would have come later.
"Oh, no. That's fine."
As my mother handed her a paper bag of rice cakes, she raised her sobbing hand and received it.
Suddenly.
Wooooo! Owwww!
She shut her mouth, dropped the paper bag, and ran into her house without closing the door.
Wooang..tang..tang!!
Aaaaah!
At the same time as the sound of something hitting hard, a sharp scream could be heard through the crack in the door.
"Oh! Are you okay? Si, you stay here.
"Huh? Huh?!"
Before I could reply to my mother, she slipped through the open door into the house next door.
I was left alone, and my eyes narrowed in confusion.
I heard a voice talking from inside the house.
Si! Since the our neighbour seems to be having a little trouble. I will be here for sometime, You go home first!
At the sound of my mother's voice, I had no choice but to close the door and return home.
When I had almost finished unpacking my belongings at home by myself, mother returned.
What happened.?
"Yes. The girl next door fell badly, but fortunately there were no serious injuries. It seems like she was suffering from a hangover, so I simply boiled soup and served her.
"Okay. Aren't you overly fussy ?"
I think she lives alone. Don't you know how sad it is if you don't have someone to take care of you when you're sick? And how sad it was that she was forced to drink because of her work
Presumably, since mother had lived longer in countryside, she had little sense of distancing from neighbours.
She usually acts with good intentions, but sometimes I fear that it might be too burdensome to the other party.
She is more energetic, and that made me think more.
While we were talking about the house next door and unpacking up the rest of our luggage, I got a call from a contact with a familiar name.
Hello uncle, How are you doing ? We are well here Yes ?you will be coming here tomorrow?
