Possessed As the Butler of a Defeated Heroine

204 – Because It’s Winter, Let’s Have a Nabe Party!

After going to the ski resort, Hyunjin thought a lot.

As usual, I bring Amelia her tea, talk to her, and often go out when she calls.

Speaking of winter vacation, there was nothing special.

At least for Hyunjin.

Meanwhile, Ayako made a suggestion. Since it was winter vacation and the weather was cold, how about having a nabe party? …

Hyunjin readily agreed, and he said he would tell the group this.

Then Ayako asked, saying that he wanted to know exactly how many people there were.

Hyunjin answered Ayako by recalling the number of people on the male and female sides, and she replied that she would be happy to look forward to it.

So ―― About a week later, she received a call from Ayako.

Hyunjin headed to the Hozuki residence with her group, and it was Inuzuka who was waiting at the door.

“Welcome. Then, this way.”

Inuzuka guided Hyunjin and her companions in a quiet tone.

‘What on earth did they have to prepare for it to take a week?’

Suddenly, Hyunjin had that thought while moving along with Inuzuka’s guidance.

Since it was a nabe party, Hyunjin and his companions brought in as many ingredients as they could to put in the nabe, but they had no idea.

Eventually, Inuzuka stopped and she spoke quietly at the door.

“… The lady is waiting. Please come in.”

Hyunjin was the first to open the door.

Then, what was waiting for her there…

It was a huge kotatsu.

‘Huh?’

A size that really makes no sense, as seen in animation.

The inside of the kotatsu, made wide enough for the number of people, will definitely be warm.

“This is!! Isn’t it a very large kotatsu!”

“It looks like a kotatsu, but the size is surprising… “

Sojuro and Yasuu spoke in surprised tones.

‘Obviously, this is amazing. I think I know why it took a week.’

When she found out that Ayako needed a week to custom-make an extra-large kotatsu, she couldn’t help but nod.

“This is not the only thing. Inuzuka?”

“Yes.”

Inuzuka started carrying something.

That… Yes, it was too big to be called a pot. However, based on its appearance, it was an object that could be called a pot.

An extra-large pot suitable for an extra-large kotatsu.

Hyunjin stuck out his tongue at the large shape of the gas stove that came with it, as if it had been remodeled.

There are as many as two gas cylinders that fit into the gas range!

I thought maybe it was because of the firepower.

At this level, when making nabe, you would have to stand to eat the ingredients deep inside.

‘Looking at it like this, Inuzuka, that person is also very strong… ‘

When I saw that he was carrying something like that in one hand and his expression he didn’t change at all, I wondered if it was heavy, but Sojuro next to me asked curiously.

“Can I have a listen?”

“Sure.”

As Inuzuka carefully let go of her hand, Sojuro let out a whine and a yell from her.

“Ki, Kim!! Save me! This is heavier than expected! Ugh!!”

Hyunjin sighed and saved Sojuro, who was about to be crushed by a pot.

It was clearly a bit heavy, so it was a structure that would be difficult for the average person to lift.

“Okay then… Shall we start the nabe party?”

At Ayako’s words her her her, her her companions her she took out all the ingredients they had prepared.

She said, pointing at Hyunjin with her hand gesture.

“Then I’ll ask you a favor, Hyunjin.”

“Eh, me?”

“Then who else does it here besides you?”

“That’s it… In this regard, Ayako. Because you know better… “

“That’s true, but I was convinced after seeing you cook it the other day. I’m sure you’ll do well if I leave it to you.”

Even after saying that, Hyunjin couldn’t back down.

‘Whatever… I have no choice but to give it a try.’

Hyunjin scratched his head and looked at the ingredients.

Meat, mushrooms, vegetables in general, tofu, konjac… Besides that, there were countless other ingredients that could go into nabe.

There was soy sauce and other seasonings, and among the ingredients, there were also seasonings for Korean food.

‘Who prepared it?’

After reading it all out, I had that question, but that was only for a moment. Since he was the one who had to cook anyway, Hyunjin had to approach it from a different perspective.

How do I make it delicious?

In the situation at hand, Hyunjin had to squeeze out wisdom.

There are probably some people who are looking forward to my cooking skills, so I decided I couldn’t ruin the atmosphere at such a great place.

Hyunjin immediately maximized his cooking knowledge

‘Think of it, think of it… !’

At first glance, nabe looks like a simple dish where you just put all the ingredients and boil it, but it wasn’t in reality.

Unlike everything that is spicy, salty, and irritating, the seasoning must be well absorbed into the soup.

In that case, we had to utilize the seasoning to its full potential to bring out the flavor.

‘… Okay, to some extent, things are resolved.’

Although it was a fleeting moment, Hyunjin had a flash of inspiration and immediately prepared the ingredients.

First, to add flavor to the soup, I chopped garlic, chopped green onions, and put them into the nabe.

“I understand green onions, but minced garlic? It’s an unusual combination… “

“Wouldn’t it be better to use garlic when the soup is infusing?”

Ohana and Ayako asked Hyunjin as if they were curious.

“Just wait a moment.”

When you fry minced garlic and sliced green onions in oil, you can already feel the flavor from the oil.

Stir-fry the meat together as a starter, and when it turns brown and tastes good, add water and cook as if boiling!

‘Now, the game starts from here.’

After doing this, add seasoning according to the seasoning and boil.

Pre-fried garlic and green onion oil will correct the flavor.

Add the prepared seasonings and ingredients appropriately and boil the soup while stirring.

‘Now, let’s have a taste.’

Hyunjin took a ladle to the boiling nabe, divided the soup and ingredients into small bowls, and tasted it.

“Hmm… “

As expected, it was the right decision to fry the garlic and green onions to produce oil from the beginning.

The scent that suddenly rose made even the companions’ mouths water.

“As expected, Hyunjin, I knew you before, but you’re good at cooking…”

“There is a reason why I skipped the cooking process.”

“Krrr, I can’t stand it!”

“Jin-chan, you’re good at cooking…” ” ” …”

The companions were looking at Nabe with happy expressions.

After finishing cooking, Hyunjin wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said.

“Okay, complete. Everyone, hurry up and try it.”

Hyunjin smiled and encouraged with a confident expression.

After distributing portions to the group with a ladle, Hyunjin sat down and everyone started eating.

The group began to savor the nabe made by Hyunjin, as if they were judges of a cooking competition.

Everyone unanimously began to express exclamations, while Hyunjin looked relieved.

‘Still, I’m glad… ‘

Hyunjin looked pleased when he saw the reactions of his companions.

“This is delicious! Amazing taste! Admiration! “This cannot be tasted even in the Middle East, where I lived!”

“Hyunjin, do well…”

“I didn’t think I would do this well. “I do this to you when you come to my house.”

“Wow, I never imagined that I would feel this much joy after eating a man’s cooking!”

“I don’t want to admit it, but it was like that during my internship… “You’re still doing well.”

As the group members each said a word, Amelia suddenly frowned and spoke in a questioning manner.

“… What did you just say? Tsu-chan.”

“Huh? Oh, I told you to do this when you came to my house.”

“What… “You say?”

Amelia was greatly shocked. Of course, Tsubasa is currently living in an officetel separate from her home, so she knows what the situation is like.

In other words… Just the two of us. Thinking that she was with Hyunjin in that small room, Amelia had no choice but to grit her teeth.

“Is there some problem? Leah.”

Tsubasa, who was laughing as if nothing was wrong and took her words back, began to get even more angry.

Given Amelia’s personality her, she should have gotten up and got angry right away, banging on the kotatsu statue.

That’s Amelia’s personality that Hyunjin knows… It was.

“… Something like that happened.”

Amelia quietly resumed her eating, lowering her voice as if she couldn’t.

I don’t know if something was wrong, but I didn’t get angry like usual. It just captures the image of a girl who is precociously controlling the situation.

Ayako was also looking blankly at Amelia with an expression of surprise.

‘It’s unfortunate… Normally I would have been angry.’

Has anything changed in Amelia’s mind recently?

As Ayako thought about this quietly, she examined the situation.

The one who was most embarrassed was Hyunjin.

Because of Tsubasa’s mistake just now, Hyunjin would definitely get angry if things continued like this and he would go back to the mansion after the nabe party and yell loudly.

The sign basically starts with Amelia glaring at Hyunjin, but that wasn’t particularly the case today.

‘That’s strange… ‘

As if the girl was feeling shy, she just put her head down and quietly ate her food.

That was Amelia’s current attitude

It was all the heroines who read this subtle current.

Since he doesn’t show his usual attitude, no matter who he sees it, it will still be suspicious.

Her companions even thought the same thing, wondering if Amelia was plotting something there.

Although Hyunjin, who was actually involved, did not really feel that fact.
