I Became the Handyman That the Heroines Are Obsessed With

Episode 23 – This is the famous bread restaurant, right? (1)

After leaving Pathos’ repair shop, Mina and Elena walked straight towards Glesius Academy.

The two people who went through the main gate and headed to the dormitory had to part ways in front of the dormitory.

Because Mina was a commoner and Elena was a noble, the places where the two stayed were separate.

Usually they say goodbye when they leave, but today they both returned to their respective dormitories without saying a word.

After returning to their respective rooms, the two people threw the things they were holding on the desk and walked towards the bed and lay down.

Tomorrow was the end of the weekend and the beginning of a new week, but the two of them lay quietly on the bed without saying a word, as if they were one body.

But it wasn’t like the two were trying to sleep. There was still too much time left before the weekend was over.

The time is just before 12 noon.

12 Noon was the time for people who had finished breakfast to grab a quick meal to last until dinner time.

―Growling.

At that moment, a loud sound rang out from the stomachs of the two people, as if asking for food.

Because the academy’s student cafeteria is closed on weekends, most students go out on the weekends to eat or buy enough food for three meals.

If it was normal, Mina and Elena would have gone out to eat, or they would have gone out to eat the food they bought from outside on the terrace outside the dormitory.

However, the two people who had been behaving rudely at Pathos’ repair shop since morning were unable to eat.

I couldn’t even bring food, so I was literally starving.

“Hmm?”

At that time, a fragrant yet appetizing smell began to enter the two people’s nostrils.

Mina and Elena, who were feeling hungry, got out of bed and walked toward the direction of the smell.

The smell was coming from the desk installed in the dormitory.

To be precise, the bread that Pathos had forcibly brought to the two people leaving the repair shop was emitting a nutty and delicious smell.

Mina and Elena, unable to overcome their hunger, wanted to tear off the bread and stuff it into their mouths.

However, the two did not do that.

Elena has been taught etiquette since she was young due to her education.

Because of the etiquette of nobles, Mina learned from watching her Elena.

Rather than grabbing the bread, tearing it and bringing it to their mouths, the two people chose to take it and go outside.

“Uh.”

“Ah.”

In that way, Mina and Elena met again outside the dormitory, just as they had entered the dormitory.

After that, without saying anything, we headed to the outdoor terrace near the dormitory.

On the terrace during lunch time, students were gathered in small groups to eat or talk.

Mina and Elena chose a suitable table nearby and sat down so they could face each other.

After sitting down, there was an uncomfortable silence between Mina and Elena.

“Elena.”

“Yes, Mina.”

Mina was the first to open her mouth, and Elena answered her words.

“Why on earth did you go to that repair shop?”

Mina was speaking with her face slightly frowning as she looked at Elena.

Seeing Mina like that, Elena felt her heart hurt.

It was a pain as if someone was squeezing my heart hard.

“So… ….”

Elena explained to Mina why she went to Pathos’ repair shop.

The story begins with the incident in which Mina’s crystal ball was broken, her efforts to solve the problem with her crystal ball, and the appearance of the neatly repaired crystal ball, which made her feel that it was a fake and led her to visit her store. It was even revealed.

When Mina heard Elena’s story, a deep emotion appeared on Mina’s face.

“Elena, I know very well that you tried so hard for me. However, Mr. Pathos is not a fraudster. “My name still remained in the crystal ball that Mr. Pathos repaired?”

“Yes?”

It was only after listening to Mina that Elena remembered one fact.

The magic wand that Mina’s parents bought her had her name engraved on it.

Elena was so focused on making sure the crystal ball was so clean that she forgot the most important thing.

“Well, is that true?”

“Yes. I said it before. “My name is engraved on the crystal ball on my magic wand.”

After hearing Mina’s additional explanation, Elena felt her face getting hot.

This was because she realized what a mistake she had made.

With only what she confirmed on the outside, she barged into her stranger’s store without any confidence, and she felt sorry for him and scolded him.

The reason she was able to act like that was because she was confident in her own abilities and background.

Daughter of the archmage Ielon Sandrios.

She is a member of the Sandrios family, which is called a famous family among noble families.

A wizard with a promising future.

These things came together to create the current Elena Sandrios.

But she hated using her status or abilities to bully others.

Therefore, Elena thought that Mina had been scammed, so she went to Pathos’ repair shop out of concern for her first special friend.

Of course, what Elena saw there was 180 degrees different from what she expected.

A man with the ability to change a rusty dagger into a clean new dagger with three hammer blows.

The owner of Pathos Repair Shop, a man named Pathos, was an ability user who received abilities as a gift from the great goddess Epirina.

But even though she had seen the ability with her own eyes, Elena couldn’t believe it.

According to what she had been taught so far, ‘ability’ was expressed only in the seven attributes of ‘water, fire, wind, earth, light, darkness, and nothingness.’

And this helps create greater destructive power by combining it with the user’s magic or martial arts.

However, Pathos’ ability did not correspond to any of the information she had received so far about her abilities and ability users.

He even went so far as to call the great goddess her name in vain.

Ordinary people were punished by just mentioning it, such as contracting an unknown disease, having their business go bankrupt, or suddenly losing all energy and facing death.

Even though he casually called the name of the Great Goddess, no divine punishment occurred.

“Mina.”

“Why, Elena?”

“An apple is… “What should I do?”

“…… “Are you going to apologize to Mr. Pathos?”

Mina understood what Elena was trying to say.

I’m sure he wants to apologize to Pathos for causing trouble to him because of what happened yesterday.

“First of all, shouldn’t there be sincerity?”

“Are you serious?”

Elena expressed doubts about Mina’s words that an apology needs to be sincere.

And she seemed to understand why an apology needed to be sincere.

No matter how many times the other person comes to me and apologizes, if the apology is not sincere, they will not be willing to accept it.

“Then, sincerely… ….”

―Growl.

Elena tried to ask Mina what she should do with her apology, how she could make it sincere and make her apologize, but a sound of shame rumbling in her stomach made her stop talking. It ended.

“…… “Would you like to eat something first?”

“…… Is it so.”

Not only Mina was hungry, but Elena was too, so the two carefully placed the bread on the table.

It looked like white bread sold at a bakery, but strangely enough, the bread was still warm and a fragrant smell was coming out.

Mina and Elena carefully broke off a piece of bread and brought it to their mouths.

And the moment you throw a piece of bread into your mouth and carefully chew it with your teeth.

“Hmph!”

“Huh.”

A strong taste began to flow across the two people’s tongues.

‘Delicious, so delicious!’

‘What kind of bread is this that makes it so delicious?’

As soon as Mina and Elena ate the bread given by Pathos, they felt helpless from the strong stimulation they felt.

Mina was a commoner, and she grew up in an ordinary family, so the only delicious food she ate was roasted beef at village festivals.

Fortunately, when she entered Glessius Academy, she was able to eat food worthy of a human being.

Her first taste of rice from Glessius Academy stimulated her taste buds and introduced her to a new world of tastes.

But the bread she tasted now tasted like it had never been before and would never be again.

There may be people who have never tasted it, but it felt so addictive that no one has tasted it just once.

‘Is this the bread that is considered the best product among the best products?’

‘I’ve never eaten such delicious bread, even at an imperial banquet…’ ….’

But this was also the same for Elena, a noblewoman.

Elena was able to frequently attend several banquets thanks to her father, who was the archmage.

The foods she tasted at the banquet were foods that she, as a noblewoman, would not normally be able to taste.

Because delicious food inevitably requires a large amount of spices.

However, spices did not grow well in the Gelebrio Empire, so there was no way to obtain them other than importing them through trade with the Eastern Continent.

So the only time Elena could taste the food using her spices was during the banquet.

The food that remains deeply in her mind to this day was the veal cream soup she ate at the imperial banquet.

The pepper sprinkled on top of the thinly sliced veal and soft cream soup was what took the greasiness out of it.

So even now, she goes so far as to say that the best food of her life is cream soup with veal.

But today, her perception changed.

This delicious loaf of bread is now sitting in front of her.

It may look rough in appearance, but the smell and taste were comparable to exquisite dishes created by great chefs.

“Hey… ….”

“Miss Elena? Can you let us try just one piece of that bread? It smells so delicious…….”

And at some point, people on the outdoor terrace began to gather around her.

Their eyes were focused on the bread in Elena and Mina’s hands.

The savory and delicious smell coming from the bread was what attracted them.

Elena and Mina each took a piece from each other except for their own food…….

“Huh! This?”

“Great taste!”

“Where on earth did you get this bread?”

Everyone who ate just one piece of bread was shocked and asked where the bread came from.

Mina and Elena had no choice but to ask for help to get them to leave, and only with the help of the dormitory teacher were they able to get the students to leave.

“Well, what can I do with just a piece of bread…” ….”

The dormitory teacher took over a portion of the bread that Mina had and ate it.

“…… Hey, can you tell me where you got this bread? “If you tell me the store, I will use my power to turn a blind eye even if you go out on weekdays and don’t come in.”

Mina and Elena accepted the dormitory housemaster’s sweet offer, and so the next day, while the students were in class, the dormitory housemaster came out alone and came to Pathos’ store.

Originally, Pathos wanted to hear this story from Mina and Elena, but the dormitory housemaster revealed the whole story first, so he found out about it.

After hearing the whole story from the dormitory housemaster, Pathos sighed and threw a loaf of bread to him, and gave him two more loaves in exchange for not revealing the location of the store.

“This is not the picture I wanted.”

The dormitory housemaster returned satisfied, but Pathos felt that something was going very wrong.

And it soon became a reality.
