Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 4. It’s cute

“Hey, hey, can I really just eat it?”

I smiled and nodded.

“Yeah. Eat it. And I want you to tell me your impressions.”

A child named Melissa was ready to rush in and eat her bones.

“Wait a minute, Melissa. You said that earlier, right? You eat in front of us first.”

“Oh, I did. Then I eat? Can I eat a leg?”

“Well, I’m fine. You don’t have to eat mine. I’ll eat it all.”

“Melissa!”

“Oh, I don’t know. I’m just going to eat it. Just be suspicious.”

A child named Mumu held her forehead and shook her head, as if she was in trouble.

“Everyone, try one leg first.”

“Yes. You choose. Which leg do you want to eat?”

After thinking for a while, Mumu pointed at one leg of the roasted chicken with his finger.

I immediately grabbed the pointed leg and tore it off.

However, I gained a lot of weight above my thighs than I thought.

I sneakily checked her expression, but it seemed very regrettable.

Meanwhile, beside him, Melissa was already eating chicken legs in a hurry.

“Aoi, it’s ripe, Eke Meyer. Mere.”

“Chew everything and talk. Because no one will steal it.”

Melissa almost swallowed her chicken before opening her mouth again.

“Mumu! This is crazy. This is the first time I’ve eaten anything like this. Mister, what is this? Why is it so delicious?”

“……”

I’m glad.

It’s really delicious.

I expected it, but hearing her appreciation directly in front of my eyes was a different feeling.

‘What is it? Why am I in such a bad mood?’

Come to think of it, when was the last time she heard compliments from others?

Unbeknownst to me, the corner of my mouth keeps going up.

I feel so happy.

“Is it really that good?”

“Yes! It’s really good. A thousand times better than my mother made it.”

“Uhhhhh, it wasn’t that my taste was weird. If I were to give you a score, how many points would you give it? Out of 100.”

“One hundred points! No, one thousand points, ten thousand points!”

“Ah, hahahaha… That looks really good.”

“Yes! It’s really crazy? Why is this so delicious? How did you make it?”

Mumu grabbed Melissa’s arms and shook her arms.

“Hey, Melissa… Is this really that good?”

“Oh, that’s right! If you don’t want to eat radish, give it to me. I’ll eat it all.”

“No. I will eat…”

She looked at me as she spoke.

I’m just smiling.

Because I don’t want to hurt or be hurt by the delicate feelings of a sensitive adolescent girl by saying meaningless things.

“Me, Mister.”

“Oh, sorry. I’ll eat this right away.”

I brought the chicken leg in my hand to my mouth.

“Oh, no. That… I saw that Melissa ate and nothing happened… You don’t even have to eat…”

“Huh?”

I almost blew it out without realizing it.

What is this cute creature?

“Then eat this too. I don’t mind not eating.”

Could this be how my grandmother felt when she kept telling me to eat more even though my stomach was about to explode?

I felt very lovable seeing the food I cooked deliciously and greedily wanting to eat more.

I gently put Mumu’s chicken leg back in my hand.

Embarrassed, I stared blankly at her cheeks, slightly heated like peaches, so fresh.

The small mouth opens, and the deliciously grilled chicken is sucked into the mouth.

It was a very timid bite, unlike Melissa, who ate heartily, probably embarrassed that she had been too vigilant.

“Ohh… What is this… It’s delicious.”

My whole body trembled.

The thrill came.

Melissa, who ate it openly and told me straight up why it was so delicious, was also good, but the feeling of ‘delicious’ that Mumu, who was very wary of, was a little different.

It’s like getting a hard compliment from a picky person.

A small joy rose from the depths of my heart.

“Isn’t it? Delicious? What did I say?”

“Yeah… It’s delicious. That’s amazing.”

“I apologize to you. I’m sorry I doubted you.”

“Ah…”

Mumu hurriedly put down the chicken leg he was eating and bent his waist 90 degrees.

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry for doubting you, Mister.”

What are these little creatures really?

She’s so cute, but she’s even nice to that.

‘Is it the influence of Korean developers to bow down and apologize?’

Anyway, even though he’s not yet 30 years old and being called an old man, he doesn’t feel bad at all.

I hope you can call me as many times as you like.

However, it cannot be revealed.

Because I can’t just cause a strange misunderstanding.

I acted a bit like an adult and answered appropriately.

“No, it’s enough to cause suspicion. Being vigilant is rather commendable, especially if you’re an adventurer. There are many bad people in the world.”

“Yes. Thank you for saying that.”

Was I too old-fashioned?

“Don’t worry about me, eat before it cools down. If you want more, just tell me. You guys have eaten so well that I’ve gained confidence as a chef. It’s a reward for that, so don’t feel pressured and tell me as much as you like.”

“Really? Will you get more? For free?”

“Yes. It’s free, so order as much as you like.”

Mumu kept pulling Melissa’s arm as if she was embarrassed.

But Melissa didn’t care. She ended up ordering one more.

‘Hmm… But being from Korea, it takes one thing.’

Nutritional balance is not right.

Grilled chicken meat is said to be low in fat, but I wonder what nutritionally it would be like to eat only protein.

I don’t have any knowledge about that, but I think you should still eat vegetables.

‘The buff effect is like that too.’

Strength +2.

Because it’s a la carte, Strength +4.

It’s a perfect effect for Mumu, who uses a two-handed sword, but it’s of no use to the wizard Melissa.

Seeing that all grilled meat buffs are the same, I think grain and vegetable dishes are related to other stats.

‘The problem is that there is no recipe…’

Where can I get the recipe?

There was never a time when a cooking recipe dropped even after going around the dungeon like that.

‘Um…’

After much thought, I decided.

Message seen when wearing a cooking suit

‘I have no choice but to make the recipe myself.’

Cooking recipes in the game are not that complicated.

In the case of grilled meat, the raw ingredients were animal meat and salt.

Perhaps simple grain dishes or vegetable dishes are similar.

‘Should I start with the simplest one?’

The simplest dish.

A dish I cooked myself when I was living on my own.

‘I won’t be able to find ramen, so if it’s easy to find… Jeon!’

You may not be able to find kimchi for kimchijeon, but you can easily get ingredients for leek or green onion.

All you need is to get oil, flour, green onions, and chives!

“Yes, guys.”

Concerned with myself, I turned my head toward the girls again.

But what is this?

“Yes mister. Please speak.”

It wasn’t long after I handed over the dishes.

But the table was full of skinny chicken bones.

And the corners of the two girls’ mouths were covered in grease when they ate so eagerly.

“hahahaha. Was it delicious?”

Mumu quietly nodded her head and blushed her cheeks.

It seems embarrassing that you still doubted me.

On the other hand, Melissa.

“It was very delicious. Can I come back to eat again next time?”

“Of course. Customers who eat deliciously are always welcome.”

“…A guest?”

I guess this guy was thinking of getting this for free again.

But there’s nothing he can’t give you for free.

“It doesn’t matter if I give it to you for free… Then will you do me a favor?”

“Please? What is it? There’s no such thing as money.”

I asked if there were any vegetables available, including flour.

“I’m growing wheat in my house. If you need it, tell me. I’ll tell my parents.”

“It’s the same in my house. There are carrots, green onions, garlic, chives, onions, something else… Anyway, we grow a lot.”

I called for joy.

After all, people should live kindly.

It’s scary.

“Are you all registered with the town’s adventurer’s guild?”

“Yes!”

“But why?”

“Then I’ll issue a quest. A delivery quest. If you get the items listed there, you can receive the quest reward.”

Unlike us players, the inhabitants of this world are qualified to challenge higher dungeons only when they are recognized by the adventurer’s guild by accumulating points.

Also, when forming a party, the adventurer level is an important deciding factor.

So I made a suggestion.

So that these children can earn money and accumulate adventurer points.

Of course, I could also comfortably get grains and vegetables, so it could be said that it was 3 sets with 1 seat.

“If you do that, we’d be very grateful.”

“Could you cook for that… Request as a reward?”

“Cooking?”

“Yes! Cooking!”

“Well, there’s nothing that can’t be done.”

“Waaa! Long live!”

Ah… I think I’ll get diabetes.

These kids are so cute and sweet.

Why the hell have I never had this type of interaction with the inhabitants of this world?

– What are you going to do after getting close with the NPC? Quest rewards are pretty good too.

– Are you an otaku? Do you like something like that?

– We respect your taste, but please don’t force it on ordinary people like us.

– Because it’s not. I’m not like that! I just asked because he looked the same as a human.

– Those things are no different from robots. Will it be like that when AI is advanced? Anyway, I have to be affectionate, but when it goes back to the way it was, it just hurts my heart. Don’t give it up for nothing.

Could it be because the surroundings were like that?

Perhaps it’s because I’m a returnee from Abyss and I’ve given up on everything, so I don’t know if my heart has changed.

‘It’s not bad anyway. That’s it.’

No, it’s not that bad.

I felt the greatest satisfaction after coming to this world today.

To the point where I even thought that being alive might be something like this.

But this was just the beginning.

I opened my eyes to a shocking fact while cooking a new dish.

It was so enormous that it changed the game of dungeon raiding.
