Have a Meal Before You Go

< Man Walking Through the Past (2) >

“Oops.”

Grandma Yun stood up, sighing as if she was sorry to see her back.

“I'm sorry. My son used to love kids so much, but he doesn't want to come near me on purpose because my face is ugly. Poor thing.......”

“....... ”

Cheolho looked at Lee Jing-ju's back as she walked, thinking about it quietly, and asked.

“You have a scar on your face. ”

“Burns.”

“I think so. ”

Somehow Grandma Yun didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't even ask.

“Tangerine, let's go. ”

Chulho lifted a tangerine. Tangerine peeled and left tangerine in her mouth as long as she could.

“I'll go in first. flourish.”

“Yes, thank you. I have a lunch appointment, so I'm going in. ”

Chulho smiled with a tangerine in his side.

“I see.”

Today's lunch will be a date with Park.

Come to think of it, today is going to be a pretty busy day. In the evening, Park told me that she was visiting a restaurant with Jeongju Lee, so I also had to worry about the menu choices.

* * *

Cooking without fire.

The first thing that comes to mind is, in fact, salads and times with vegetables.

Cheolho was able to cook using fire, among other things, and he remembered the good ingredients without using fire.

As a result of considering many things, I also like Chulho.

times!

As summer passed, winter came.

It was the season of the meeting with Baháh. At this time, the best water flowed, was also 'Tunatos’.

Tunatos is a monster that can be considered a type of tuna.

This is a huge fish, very violent and hard to find in the marketplace.

Monsters are less than approximately Grade 3, but they tend to swarm in large numbers, so fishermen are hard to capture.

Tuna is very tasty with fire and very tasty without fire. I heard that if you have tuna in the sea, you have cattle on land.

Anyway.

If there is no catch, it is the answer.

It's going to be a lot of time anyway, and Chulho is headed out to sea with Echo looking idle.

* * *

“Hydra!”

Echo calls HYDRA. On the other side of the Namhae, the giant currents rose slowly, and nine heads protruded. It looked like a sea at the end of the century, but in reality it was Echo's cute pet.

HYDRA swam to Echo, grumbling. Whenever the giant figure came, Steel frowned, but Echo smiled brightly and rubbed his cheeks against his slippery head.

“HYDRA! Go catch a fish! ”

Echo spoke the language of the horse system.

“It's Tunatos, okay? Tunatos, get me a large one! ”

When Hydra says something, Echo says it again.

“You can grab the one that looks the best to you. ”

Kitkits!

HYDRA screams and disappears into the sea as if she knew.

After a while.

HYDRA has captured a giant tunatos.

“Oh.”

Chulho glanced at the tunatos he had captured and laughed. It was the finest tunatos, well watered. I still felt like I had to work quickly to stay alive.

These guys are thriving fish. There are too many muscles, so if you stay out of the water, you'll quickly get ripe. Cheolho opened the subspace.

“Qasim, just get me a knife. ”

Kasim tilts his head and asks.

“What kind are you, Steelho? ”

“I'm going after Tunatos. ”

“Oh, wait a minute! ”

Kasim shrugs into the sub-space and quickly pulls out a large sword.

Chulho looks at his nanny's sword and grins.

“Good.”

“Thank you! But Tunatos..."

Qasim's gaze is towards Tunatos over there. The length was roughly 3 meters, and the thickness of the logs was as heavy as the three fish were being stranded on the ground.

Chulho grabs the head of the tunatos and lifts it into the air.

Shashah, Shah Shah Shah -

Then I sliced him in three pieces with a light two-handed sword.

“....... were you trying to fix the fish? ”

“Yes."

Qasim has a forehead. Echo also tilts his head and asks.

“That knife, it looks really good. ”

“Of course! It's called Sword Excalibur!" ”

Qasim yells.

“Sword, Sword.......”

Echo was stunned. Echo reminded me of a time when the invasion of Espan continent had been difficult for the king of the northern kingdom to wield that sword.

Arthur, the King in the North, who cut the Horses to pieces. He was strong enough to be considered among the humans. I could have killed him, but I failed because of the graceful bow.

“Well, it's just a hunk of scrap metal if you don't use it. ”

Cheolho returns Excalibur as if he were fine, then brings the ring of his index finger to the body of the three-pronged tunatos.

Frozen.

The heat is released from Frozen and the body of Tunatos is frozen solid. You'll be able to trim each area under the weather, thaw it well, and use it for cooking.

“Let's go back.”

Echo glances at the helm with a shivering face, then nods.

For a second, I thought this guy was scary.

.

Clavicular fluid -

Jeongju was wearing a thick fire suit.

He's a Class 4 Awakener in the Magic Class of Water.

The main mission is fire suppression. He chose the career of a firefighter from the beginning.

Grade 4 was hard to use at the Awakening Ground. But in the field of fire, there will be enough Saviors.

In fact, many think only of the front-line combat forces for the existence of the Awakened, but many of the occupations derived from them still existed.

When most Awakened were put on the front lines to fight monsters, he fought fire in the city.

I've never regretted a career choice since I was born.

But as of today, I'm afraid.

Glug glug! Glug glug!

A huge building was on fire.

Only a few skyscrapers left on the north bank, the Neutral Building outside Mia Station, was attacked by monsters. Stormed monsters are first-class boss monsters, 'Flame Road’.

Two Flame Road raided the city, and many buildings burned down. Among them, the Neutral Building suffered devastating damage close to the incinerator.

The magician, the guardian of the Gangbuk, ran out to the front in secret with his teammates.

Two first-class bosses. It's a battle between the Guardians and all their forces.

While they bide their time, waiting for the support of the Association.

The firefighters, including Jeongju, will suppress the fire.

Turbulent Turbulence

Jeongju was walking inside the building where the fire had fallen.

Huff, huff.

Rough breathing hovers between the fire suits. It's heavy. Fatigue has overwhelmed the body.

Most people were rescued.

Somehow, however, he instinctively thought there was someone left.

Because the magical power was almost exhausted, it gradually reached its limit physically and mentally.

But I can't stop walking.

- God.

He mumbles and continues walking.

- When I'm called...

Everything seemed to be burnt to ashes everywhere.

- No matter how hot the fire is, give me the strength to save a life.

- Before it's too late.

Let me embrace the child, let me save the fearful old man, let me stay awake, let me watch, let me hear the sad cries.

-And...

- God willing.

- If I lose my life...

Let me live.

Back then.

Jeongju's head turned around. You hear someone's voice on the other side of the fire, very thin.

He clenches his teeth and starts running.

Burning debris falls from all sides.

Boom, boom!

Thick fire suit, but won't last long from being hit by debris and exposed to high concentrations of flames. Durability was already at its peak.

You hear a voice inside the locked door. Jeongju raises his magical strength.

Ooooo -

Your hands are full of magic. It soon becomes a wave and reaches the heated iron gate.

I opened the door without hesitation.

Blubber-

The flames have been kindled.

.

“Huff.”

Jeongju opened his eyes. After my morning work, I fell asleep during lunch, and I had another dream.

“Uhh-”

After lunch, the sun goes down. Winter's night comes early.

He looks down at his sweaty body. It's already been ten years, but when I think about it, I used to get covered in cold sweat.

I burst into a shower. After taking off his clothes, about half his body was stained with scars. My skin melted and clumped up and was very ugly. It's a full body burn.

“....... ”

Just looking at this image, he was endlessly depressed. So I closed my eyes and took a shower.

By the way, Mr. Park asked me to have a drink today. He scratches his head. His head, which was always wearing a hat, had almost no hair left.

It can be cured anytime. But he didn't heal.

Mr. Park was a good man. Perhaps you can be a good match for your mother.

“Phew.”

The cold wind blows over you as you step outside.

On the other side, I saw an old gentleman dressed in fancy clothes. He walked there smiling bitterly.

* * *

“Oh, welcome. ”

Chulho smiled as he saw the two men arriving at the rising of the moon.

“This is our son. Hahahaha. Oh, isn't he your son yet? What the hell! It'll be here soon! ”

Jungju smiled quietly at Park's words.

“You were the one I saw earlier. ”

“Oh, yeah. My child repeatedly apologized earlier. ”

Two men sat at the table.

Chulho poured Plum liquor into the bottle.

Today's menu is tunatos full course.

Cheolho was able to organize the tunatos that he caught earlier and divide them by parts. The first is red flesh. A fresh tuna tasting area. You can savor the bland flavor with less fat.

“Is this tuna? ”

“It's Tunatos. It's a rare source of property. ”

“Oh, I never thought I'd be able to eat this delicacy here again. ”

“You said you could eat at a store in the old days. ”

“I did, I did. ”

Park smiled.

“A long time ago. It's a long time ago. What am I supposed to think about? Here you go, son! Why don't you lift it?”

Lee Jung-joo nodded, raising a red dot.

“I'll eat well. ”

Today it begins with the red flesh and leads to the loins, middle belly, and large belly.

Tuna is delicious for eating circuits and sushi, but Chulho wanted to make tuna steak by making it with a fire once.

Plumbers smell good.

Whether he was intoxicated by the scent or not, he started having conversations like this while filling his glass because he was living in his residence.

“By the way.”

Park emptied his glass of Plum, filled it up and asked.

“Did you originally help your mother's shop? From what I've heard on the street, that's not it either. ”

“Yes.”

Jeongju replied briefly.

“Awakened?”

He smiles bitterly.

“Yes.”

The End
