Have a Meal Before You Go

“Geez, you're on fire. ”

Kim Youngjin covered his head and sighed. He sighs deeply and looks down at the helm.

“I'm sorry, Ms. Grant. ”

Cheolho slapped his hand.

“No, taste is the difference. ”

“This is really good. The main characteristic of this house is that the ingredients are still alive. I like the taste. Well, no one's going to say this isn't delicious. ”

Somehow he shrugs. He scratches his back head slightly. Praise is a thankful thing. However, each tastes different. That's why I didn't want to blame the guest who left a complaint.

Kim Youngjin scratched his head, sighing deeply.

“Shouldn't you follow me? ”

Cheolho asked. Kim Youngjin shrugged.

“It doesn't work when he's angry like that. His old personality was not like that....... but he seemed to be riding his sword every day for some reason since that day. ”

“That day? ”

I asked him with an interesting face.

“Oh, yeah. ”

Kim Youngjin hesitated a little and asked.

“Do you mind if I have a drink? For some reason, I'm just being sarcastic. ”

“Oh, of course. ”

Cheolho poured me a glass of Plum. Kim Youngjin, who smelled the plum in a big glass, sniffed a sip with a smile.

“Phew.”

Kim Youngjin opened his mouth quietly as if he had just opened his mind a little.

“Actually, ”

“Yes.”

“People think only Awakeners fight for their lives, but so do we. ”

Cheolho nods lightly. There is nothing in this world that is not difficult.

Difficulty is relative. It's hard to know your occupation just by looking at the cross-section. When you look inside, there is nothing hard about each of you.

Cheolho did the same. When studying in Noryangjin, when preparing for a job. Others asked why it was so hard, but at that time it was hard enough to die.

That's why I can understand him.

“Kim was a reporter on the front lines. In short, it was what we call a war reporter. ”

“Oh, I'm a war reporter. ”

Reporters leaving the battlefield risking their lives. That was the bellman.

“The most recent battlefield was, you know, the last war with Poriner. where he was badly wounded. ”

“It's a big wound. ”

Kim Youngjin nodded, smiling bitterly.

“Almost, a month would have been a vegetable. I thought he was really going to die. When was it.......? Oh, it must have been at the end of the war when the spirits exploded. ”

Kim Youngjin turned over a suitcase and handed out a picture cut from the newspaper.

“Ah.”

Cheolho was also familiar with the picture. After the war, it was a big picture in the main newspaper. When I saw Cheolho, I thought, "I took a really good picture, too."

“Well, fortunately, you're cured now. He must have lost his appetite after he recovered from the plants. ”

“Ah-.”

Cheolho only realized the reason for Kim's reaction. I asked her just in case.

“Your pronunciation's a little off. ”

“Oh, you're the deputy? ”

Youngjin Kim nodded.

“Yes, I heard that you were severely injured inside the mouth, especially when there was an explosion. ”

Perhaps I've lost some of my tongue.

Then it was natural that he could not fully feel his taste. No matter how advanced a healing technique is, it cannot recover the missing parts.

“Great restaurants and restaurants all over the street, but you're getting frustrated. I heard you worked as a foodie before this. ”

“Aha.”

If he was a foodie, he would have been more disappointed in himself than he could feel right.

It was more important than I thought, because I couldn't even imagine a world where I couldn't taste it.

“So I said, why don't you eat something stimulating, but you're angry that it's not food. I finally found this place. ”

“....... ”

“Anyway.”

Kim Youngjin sighed deeply.

“I'm sorry to hear that. You've had quite a few drinks today, and I think you're very excited about it. I apologize.”

“No, it's no big deal. ”

Chulho thought of a bear. Loss of taste. Is there any food that can solve that?

If it were a mental problem, I would be able to see the possibilities in some way, but if it were a physical problem, there was no answer.

‘Wait.’

Chulho shakes his head as he rolls his head.

“Han-”

Kim Youngjin, who stood up and packed his things, turned his head.

“Yes?”

“Could you come back in a week or so? With him. ”

“Uh....... Yes, that's not difficult. But...”

Kim Youngjin tilted his head. Cheolho smiled.

“I'll pay for the food, and I'll take it with me. ”

* * *

After all the commotion, the silence wandered around the restaurant again.

Chulho was able to turn his gaze toward the wooden crate he had just received from Pata. The wooden crate was quite small. I was curious about the contents.

Fall back!

As you pull out the well-packed wooden crate, you see something in it that is lined with fine cloth. Cheolho peeled off the cloth.

“Oh-”

And to be honest, I was surprised.

There was a kitchen knife. The old kitchen knife was made from scales obtained from Aramir Lantero and processed by a Dwarf craftsman.

Thanks to you, the blade is cold. Also sharp, useful for chopping meat. It can be cut without damaging the cutting edges.

But 20 years have passed since I used it. Even the dragon scale wore off gradually, and now the blade is getting smaller.

It was like an old, worn edged eddy blade.

I was starting to think I should keep him safe and buy a new knife.

“....... ”

Thank you.Chulho held the knife in his hand.

The blade sticks to your hand. The material on the handle was like a horn of some kind. What horn?

The Detect Child revealed its identity.

- Black Dragon's Molar

“Huff.”

It was the tooth of Pata, an elder dragon. Somehow he said it stuck to his hand.

What about the blade?

- Fearless meat

“Starfish?”

You call the Heart of Starfish "Starfish." Starfish usually grow after eating a tremendous amount of iron, and the essences of that iron come together to form the heart.

The heart is much cleaner and harder than any iron, but it surpassed adamantium when it was hard.

Is that it?

Magic sensitivity is great. Two classes are higher than Adamantium. Sharpening the blade will endure a terrifying period of time with its unique durability.

In fact, it is the best iron that exists.

The problem was always the air conditioner.

The starfish that used to appear frequently in the Eastern Continent of the past became an animal of fantasy that was no longer found by indiscreet capture.

In fact, they were big, not so wild, but they loved peace. You can say it's about a very big Sugata.

The heart of a starfish is invincible. Like its name, human greed always brings about disaster, although not all hearts are torn out. It took a long time and effort until the new heart grew, and many mysteries led to indiscreet capture.

Eventually, the mysteries of the eastern continent disappeared.

Of course.

No one knew where they came from or why they came from. Even Chulho didn't know it, but he was speculating that it might have come from another dimension.

“Hmm?"

After touching the day, Chulho tilts his head. The blade was not made of starfish alone.

- Black Dragon Scale

- Scale of the Red Dragon

“Oh, my God.”

Scales of Black Dragons are the role of amplifiers. In the case of Dynslav, which is regarded as a national treasure by the Empire, for example, it is made of Black Dragon Scales and Adamantium. A tremendous amount of magical enhancement.

In addition, the scale of the Red Dragon was famous for its good cutting power. You have an incredible cutting force that you won't notice even after getting cut in a single strike.

However, I could not feel the heat of the Red Dragon's blade.

- Ten thousand years old.

It's probably because of the alloy.

“Oh my……"

Chulho shakes his head and laughs.

Scales of the beast, scales of the black dragon, scales of the red dragon, fourteen millennia.

It was surprising that the four materials were exquisitely made of alloys, and the results were also enough to open their mouths.

It would be the most powerful kitchen knife in the world. The handle was machined to fit perfectly into the right hand of the helmet, and to perfectly balance and finish the blade.

The shape of the blade is long and slender. This was similar to Kiritzke in Japanese swords. It was a versatile knife, not just for any particular purpose.

I was thankful for Pata's appearance when I thought about the type of sword that Cheolho needed the most.

The Red Dragon, who was willing to give you a scale, is probably Khan.

Cheolho smiles and heads to the refrigerator.

Yesterday at dawn, there was a plush tunatos skewer.

I took out the best canned tuna that seeped into my mouth like snow and carefully sliced it with a new knife.

Wh-

As if the page had been cut off, it was cut without even noticing a foreign body. Let's take a look at the cutting edges.

The scale cutting power of the red dragon was maximized by the scales of the black dragon, making it feel as if not a single cell had been destroyed.

“Oh my……"

If you put it in your mouth, you can now taste the raw ingredients, not even a foreign body as pure as 100%.

Cheolho sliced the ingredients into pieces. My smile didn't go away. I was going to share them all anyway, but I thought this evening would be more special.

* * *

“Papa!”

Tangerine hasn't eaten since dinner last night. Whether it was hard to swim or not, I was just sleeping all day.

And morning.

Tangerine was hungry or very hungry, yelling at her tail and harassing her.

“Let me see.”

Chulho lifted the tangerine. And I listened to the baby's little belly.

Glug-ug-ug!

You hear a rumbling sound. He looked so cute, I've been doing it for a while.

“Get the boat! ”

Tangerine yelled at Chulho. Cheolho carried such tangerines in his arms and headed to the kitchen.

I was going to make you the fastest omelet you can make, but when I looked at the carrots for your inner ingredients, I pointed to them.

“That one. ”

“Huh?"

When I gave out the carrot that used to scare me, Tangerine slaughtered it.

“Don't lose. ”

Not really.

Nothing like a good meal of hunger.

Chulho quickly started making an omelet with a carrot and saw a tangerine that was crunching.

What are the ways you can taste it?

Cheolho personally thought like this.

First, a visual element.

Decorated food, by itself, is snowy. The flavor that you can imagine in your head without having to eat it, was quite enjoyable.

In addition to the situation.

Wouldn't the same food feel different depending on the situation and who you're with?

Then texture.

The texture that is felt after entering the mouth is a very important part of the taste.

Smell!

Even though the texture was good and the decoration was great, if it smelled like poop, it was a recognition that the food would not taste good.

There will be many other things.

Personally, Cheolho had the best ramen boiled in the cold cold. Of course, it's a story from a long, long time ago, a lifetime ago on Earth.

I shook my head to the left and to the right because it was a place I didn't want to think of as an army.

One last time.

Chulho muttered, seeing the tangerines eating carrots that he hated so much.

“Hunger.”

.

“Hmm? Uncle. ”

Kan, who came to play at Pata's forge, asks. A man in a dinosaur costume walks the other side of the forge unfaithfully.

“Did you bring that? ”

“Huh? Oh, yeah. ”

It was starfish. Pata left behind a heart of starfish. Surprisingly, the six hearts of starfish shrunk to a size slightly larger than the compartment.

“That's a lot smaller. ”

“Yes. He's as big as he eats. If you remove the heart properly, it gets smaller like that. That's why I want you to take care of her like a sheep." ”

“Raising sheep? ”

“Do you know why you push wool on a regular basis? ”

Pata casually drinks tea and asks.

“I don't know.”

Khan replies with a fat face.

“If you don't push it when you grow up moderately, it gets very difficult to move. He looks the same. If you don't reduce the size when you grow up moderately, you'll become deformed by being crushed by the heart on your back. Well, that's good for each other. ”

“That's odd. I've never seen it before in my life. Not on the continent of Espan? ”

“Not that I recall. ”

“Where are they from? Did he come from another dimension? ”

Pata shrugs as the bear thinks.

“Maybe. ”

The End
