Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 36. Anything is fine

I smiled brightly and turned around.

Three girls holding on to the prison bars like little puppies and looking up at me.

“If you say something else after letting it go, I won’t feed you anymore.”

“Yes…”

“I don’t say anything else…”

“I don’t… I don’t…”

Apart from the two little girls, even Miss Lemon, who used to be ticklish like that, became so obedient.

The corner of his mouth keeps trying to go up.

“Actually, I tried to loosen it up last night, but it took me a while to get used to the new dish.”

I was busy cooking all night without sleep.

I didn’t even know the time was passing.

‘Burned and overcooked… I just threw away the precious rice…’

But thanks to that, now I can cook pot rice to perfection.

It is also a large-capacity pot that can cover dozens of servings at once.

I felt sorry for the three in front of me, but if I ate it, my dissatisfaction with me would melt away like snow.

Kiik-

I opened the prison cell door with the key I had just received.

Three people look at me with their eyes wide open.

“Hey, did you have the key…?”

“Have you been?”

“There was…?”

“Yes. I got it before I came here.”

“Huh… Mister is bad.”

“Is it bad?”

“……”

Shall we stop joking around here?

All three of them are crying.

You must have had a hard time spending the night here, but I don’t think it bothers you a little more.

‘This should be enough.’

My heart was pounding in anticipation of how my current expression would change after a while.

Three people followed closely behind me.

I got out of the dark space, opened the door and came out.

I moved sideways.

The sight that was hidden by my size began to enter the three girls’ field of vision.

“!?”

“Wow…”

“What is all this, man?”

I answered with a mischievous laugh.

“Hmm… A banquet?”

“A feast?”

“Yes. We’re going to have a very big party from now on.”

Actually, the werewolves wanted to throw a grand feast yesterday.

But I begged you to be patient with me.

Because we needed a new menu for the banquet.

Well, at least it was all about cooking rice, and even though rice was a staple food in this village, it already existed on the menu.

‘Still, if I make it, the taste is different.’

“Let’s start a grand feast for the heroes of Gray Wolf Village!”

“Wow!!”

Dozens of large tables set up in an empty lot.

A huge amount of food was being moved endlessly on top of it.

“Our seat is this way.”

Every time we pass by, the wolf beasts give us a word.

“Thank you for defeating the specter.”

“They are the heroes who defeated disaster!”

“Wow! Long live!”

Applause and applause are pouring in.

The three people who had been confined in the prison all day couldn’t keep up with the situation and only followed me with dumbfounded faces.

“Mister… Can we all eat this food?”

“Of course. I made it on purpose for you guys to eat.”

“Really?”

Melissa cries uncharacteristically.

It looks as if the water droplets forming in her big eyes will pour out any moment.

“So, are you late to pick us up to prepare this?”

Mumu asked.

“Well… Then! It took a little longer than expected to complete the new dish. I’m sorry.”

“Which one is your new menu?”

“This is it.”

This is not my original recipe.

It’s not like there’s a special buff attached to it, but the taste is important.

Because this is the fundamental staple food of Koreans.

[White Rice]

– Pure white rice made from rice grown in Gray Wolf Village. I think you should eat it before it cools down.

– Effect: Stamina +10 (+35, +45)

– Effect duration: 60 minutes (+210 minutes)

“…Is this?”

“Why? Mumu looks disappointed?”

“Oh, no. Something… Simple…”

However, one person’s reaction was quite different.

Sour lemon.

Her expression looked as if she would burst into tears at any moment.

“This… Can I eat it now…?”

“No.”

She looks straight into my eyes for the first time.

His eyes were asking why not, please stop joking around.

“Wash your hands before coming. Have a meal later.”

“Ah! Uh, where to wash…”

Eyes wandering here and there.

The village chief’s wife walks away with the three women.

The determination to quickly wash your hands and come back and taste all the food on the table can be felt even from the back of the girls.

I looked at him and smiled happily.

* * *

“Well well… Ah oi, it’s ripe, why is it Mayer?”

“Chew everything and tell me.”

The three ladies are concentrating her nerves on eating.

If you interfere now, they will try to kill me.

“What is this? Is it made of eggs?”

“Yeah. Eggs. It took me a while to perfect them.”

“Wow… How can you cook something like this with eggs… It’s so delicious! It goes really well with this rice.”

“Potato Maijim.”

Now on the table are various pancakes and rice that I made.

Topped with zucchini pancakes, especially suitable for side dishes, and newly learned egg rolls and boiled potatoes.

There are a lot of other foods on top, but the rest are made by the resident women of this village.

Because it is not possible for me alone to make food for everyone to eat in an instant.

“Keuh… What the hell did you put in it? Why does the rice you eat all the time taste like this?”

“Madam! One more bowl of rice, please!”

“Mom! Give me more food too!”

Additional orders follow here and there.

At least, I insisted on making everyone’s share of the rice.

So it feels like the meal time is delayed, but thanks to that, everyone is enjoying themselves.

“Another plate is complete! Take it!”

I had no time to rest.

With requests pouring in here and there, making egg rolls, there was no time to sit down.

Sweat is pouring down like rain, but it wasn’t hard at all.

‘It’s easier later if you keep your affinity level high.’

Meat is an indispensable part of a feast.

Five whole pigs are being grilled at the same time next to the stall I took out.

Exactly Carlisle Wild Boar Barbecue.

The pigs I usually use were the minimum size, but maybe it’s because it’s inside a dungeon, and the size of a pig is huge.

Several large wolf beasts cling to each other, sweating as they spin the giant wild boar.

I just spread pepper and salt on it.

There were too many things to do to even bother with that.

“Mister Mister!”

Melissa came running with her empty plate.

“More egg rolls please!”

“Wait. There are a lot of people who haven’t tasted it yet.”

“Yes. Hee hee…”

Originally, if it was a party, there would have to be a bit of a talent show, but everyone was preoccupied with eating.

‘I’m crazy…’

The spectacle unfolding in front of your eyes… Should I say it?

The tails of the wolf beasts sitting and eating are waving gently from side to side.

It must mean that you are in a good mood, but just looking at it makes you go crazy.

‘And above all…’

These bastards.

Eating is no joke.

I had to keep cooking until the sun went down.

‘Wasn’t I the main character of this party…?’

* * *

“Cheers!”

“Gulp, gulp, gulp… Kyaa-“

As the sun went down and the night deepened, a drinking party broke out.

Now the area around the vacant lot has become very quiet.

Most of the wolf beasts went home, and I was barely able to organize the stalls.

“I wonder how many thousand eggs I fried today… My arms are tingling…”

Carlisle Wild Boar Barbecue was eaten with all the flesh attached to the bones, leaving only skinny bones.

Even the bones are being held by huge wolves one by one, biting and sucking.

‘It’s really sh*t…’

Then Miss Lemon approached me.

“Thank you… Today’s dish was very delicious.”

I answered with a smile.

“Why are you like this all of a sudden? It doesn’t suit you.”

“…Joe, I want you to say something respectful!”

“Just do it as usual. Do as you please.”

“But… You use respectful words for me…”

I was hot.

“No, I heard you’re twenty-four years old!?”

“So what?”

“Why am I a man! I’m only three years older! Moomoo and Melissa are, but not Mr. Lemon!”

“Then… What do you call it?”

Hmm?

I suddenly had a lot of thoughts.

What should I call you?

Brother?

Ah, that doesn’t sound like much.

I don’t know about anyone else, but being called “Oppa” By Miss Lemon somehow makes me feel like I’m going to get chicken skin all over my body.

Mr. Taemin?

Ah, that’s more cheesy.

Is this why people say being first is important?

Since you’re so ticklish from the start, it’s not like the establishment of a relationship is ambiguous!

“Call it what you want to call it. I don’t know.”

“Then… Taemin…?”

“Ha ha ha… Just call me uncle man! I’ll treat you like a kid instead!”

“I don’t like that…”

You don’t like being treated like a kid, do you want to be called Mister?

Just knock this bastard!

When I stare at her with fearful eyes, Miss Lemon’s gaze quickly runs away.

Now she has completely turned around and can’t see her expression, but her voice is starting to go on again.

“Go… Thank you.”

“Okay. It’s embarrassing to listen to food compliments all day, so stop it. Oh, I’m already talking rudely, but let me go now? Is that okay?”

Her head nods slowly.

If you’re just going to nod your head without answering, look this way dude!

“That’s not what I mean by thank you… I mean thank you for inviting me to the party.”

“What, I brought it because I needed it.”

“Still… It was fun. Now I don’t want to party again…”

“I know, me too. What does that feel like?”

Her body slowly turns to face me again.

I don’t know if it’s because the lights from the stalls are reflected on her cheeks, but her face is slightly flushed.

His gaze, still wandering here and there, slowly turned to me in search of a destination.

“Thank you very much.”

* * *

Taemin couldn’t look at her.

I stared into the distance for no reason, scratching only my cheeks that were neither ticklish nor itchy.

“Well, why are you saying that… It’s pointless.”

“Please take good care of me in the future.”

“Huh?”

“Why? Are you going to kick me out too?”

“You kicked them out and went to sleep, our party isn’t even filled with 6 people yet, what are you doing…”

“Chi.”

Sour Lemon stuck out her lips poutingly.

Seeing that, Jeon Taemin let out a deep sigh as if he knew what you wanted to hear and opened her mouth.

“Even if all six are full, you can’t leave. I won’t let you out. I really need you.”

Her eyes open wide again, then her eyelids gently lower.

A bit shy, but very happy.

“I also… Need you. So, you can’t kick me out.”

Jeon Tae-min felt his face suddenly heat up.

Perhaps he couldn’t stand it, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

“Kuhmm… Do you want something to eat?”

“Yes?”

“Tell me. Even if I can’t cook very complicated dishes, I’ll make something easy if it’s easy. Of course, I’m a guy who is easy to find ingredients.

Lemon opened his eyes again.

Then he just smiled shyly.

“Anything is good. My uncle’s cooking.”
