Main Character Hides His Strength

30. Matchmaking (2)

Iliya Bregas smiles with a loving face and tries to eat something other than that dish.

It's because Sofia Bregas was watching him with the eye of a falcon.

Kim Sung-cheol noticed that her eyelids were slightly trembling every time Iliya put a black coal ball in her mouth.

It's superhuman patience.

Kim Sung-cheol thought so.

Iliya, who had eaten something other than half the food, looked at Sung-cheol Kim and said in a soft voice.

“It's really good. But I feel like eating something different. I'm really sorry to say this to you as a guest, but can I try your cooking again? ”

Only after hearing that could Kim Sung-cheol fully understand the situation surrounding him.

‘This guy. I guess they're holding me back because they want to eat human food. ’

If so, fine.

Kim Sung-cheol stood up while he ate a mouthful of food and left no mouth.

“You're not going to make that fifty-year-old red food again, are you? I gotta tell you, I hate the Iron Knights' food. ”

As you try to leave the barracks, Sofia Bregas' cold voice pierces your back like an arrow.

Kim Sung-cheol turned his head and stared at her plate.

The charcoal on her plate has not diminished since it was first served.

This woman...

I had a lot to say, but I held on tight.

A true cook speaks with skill, not words.

Kim Sung-cheol pulled out a fresh liver from the sack of the horse that had been left outside the barracks.

‘This should be good. ’

The kitchen is just behind the barracks.

The kitchen was full of spices, vegetables, and wine like that of a powerful nobleman.

Kim Sung-cheol picked up one of them and asked the servant who was guarding the fire.

“Can I use this? ”

The servant nods.

I opened the lid of the wine and smelled it.

It is not fine wine, but it is also not cheap wine.

Suitable for cooking.

Kim Sung-cheol put a little butter on the pan and started stir-frying the onions and tomatoes.

After the onions and tomatoes were somewhat stir-fried, I generously poured red wine while the sauce was still somewhat drowsy, adding the used wooster sauce from the Soul Warehouse.

The gaze of the servant who was guarding the fire with a grumpy expression is directed to Kim Sung-cheol's fan.

because it smelled so fragrant that there was nothing to say.

Kim Sung-cheol searched for other cooking ingredients for the red wine while it was sleeping.

I saw potatoes and rice.

The potatoes were sliced and the rice was crushed to powder.

Bang, bang!

Making rice flour was just enough to grip and crush it with your hands.

The servant's eyes widen.

“You seem a little strong. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol began frying potatoes, filled with other pan oil and covered in rice flour.

While the potatoes ripen, the red wine sauce is somewhat drowsy and smells pleasant.

Kim Sung-cheol put the fan on the edge of the fire and now began cooking the liver of the main hall.

The point is to bake it hard in the fireplace, boil the surface, and then pour the red wine sauce over it.

“Do you have sugar? ”

Kim Sung-cheol suddenly told his servant.

“Yes, there it is. ”

“Thank you. I have one question, by the way. What's your lady's favorite food? ”

“What did you say? They say it's the food of two worlds. He likes to put flour on the cod and fry the potatoes wet. ”

“Great Britain. ”

After speaking coldly, Kim Sung-cheol was devoted to cooking.

It takes a while for the fresh deer's liver to soak in its sweet red wine sauce.

Kim Sung-cheol made another simple salad and started plating on the plate.

Potatoes and salads covered in rice flour. And a gazelle liver with an impending wine sauce.

As I plunge into the fiery flames, everything around me is calm.

“Are you an excellent cook? ”

The servant suddenly speaks.

“Of course. I...”

Kim Sung-cheol smiled faintly and pulled out a brooch from the soul vault.

The brooch, which shaped the loving dragon with the fork and knife, was shining in golden light, was emitting an unusual aura at a glance.

“What's that? ”

The servant asked.

‘You don't know the chef's token. ’

What Kim Sung-cheol took out was a chef's token that can only be carried by those who acquired the cooking class.

Items that cannot be transferred to another person and are only attributed to themselves. They have no abilities of their own, but are as valuable to a cooking class as their own.

You can prove your culinary ability with the token.

Ordinary cooks are colored like iron, but the higher the quality, the more colorful the brooch will be.

In the case of Kim Sung-cheol, a high-end cook, it's golden.

It should be a level of pride.

“… nothing. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said so while hanging a brooch on his shirt pocket.

“Ow!”

But it looks like he stuck a needle in Bertelgia's pocket while he was hanging a brooch.

“W-what are you talking about? ”

The servant who heard the scream jumps up and down.

“Are you a rat? ”

The servant leaves with a broom.

“It hurts!”

As soon as the servant leaves, Bertelgia protests violently.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol didn't apologize.

Instead, I quietly stirred the pan and devoted myself to cooking.

“Oh, my God! With a conscience.”

The sauce on the pan was slow, but definitely dozing off.

Kim Sung-cheol didn't rush to finish watching the cooking.

It was a quiet time.

You hear a groaning voice coming from the barracks.

“I heard that the Iron Knights' front collapsed completely while preparing a dish. Two maneuvering fortresses they boasted about were completely destroyed and the villages destroyed. ”

Sophia Bregas' voice.

Kim Sung-cheol thought to himself, shaking his fan gently.

"I heard that the Iron Knights are in bad shape, but I can't believe I'm about to fall into a town that supports soldiers." What a light bulb. ’

What was strange was Martin Bregas' response.

Common sense is that if there is a hole in one front, it is common sense to attract and block relaxed troops from the other front, because they are relentlessly sending the Salvation Crusaders.

I'd rather have the Savior crusaders on the Iron Knights front.

“Can't we just go back? I'll be honest with you, Wizard. I don't like it. ”

Sofia Bregas' voice continues to be heard.

You hear a low murmur.

It was such a small voice that it was hard to understand, but Kim Sung-cheol could concentrate his mind and decipher it.

Ilya Bregas' voice.

“... we don't have much time left. I think this is the last time. If we go back like this, we just go back to what he thought. ”

“But...”

“I honestly don't think so, Wizard. But remember, the only way to save our brothers and sisters now is in the marketplace. ”

Their conversation is no longer heard.

All the sauces fell asleep.

A faint tantrum awakened Kim Sung-cheol's ritual.

‘That sister. I knew you didn't go to the Magic Cube without thinking. ’

We don't know what they want yet.

However, it is a big harvest to discover that Martin Bregas' children were headed for the Magic System for some purpose.

At least this line won't end with a simple collection of Alchemy ingredients.

Kim Sung-cheol last plated deer liver dishes stuffed in a wine sauce that was crumbling with Kim.

“Ah… how can this taste…! I'm touched."

The effect of cooking was great.

Unlike when Iliya Bregas ate her sister's cooking with a trained smile, she ate Kim Sung-cheol's food with a living expression.

“How can you cook on a nobleman's table...”

Sofia Bregast looks like she doesn't deserve it.

Kim Sung-cheol opened his mouth revealing a golden brooch hidden in the corner of his coat.

“Let's see what you can do. ”

After revealing the glittering brooch slightly, Kim Sung-cheol put his arms around his brother and watched Bregas with a relaxed expression.

“Sofia, what are you doing? It's really good. This is so much better than what I had at the mansion. ”

Ilya Bregast, who has already cleaned up half of the plate, said, sipping a sip of wine.

Sofia Bregas is a grumpy face, but she reluctantly slices a piece of her liver into her mouth and takes it to her mouth.

“ …?! ”

It was a moment, but I remembered the pale redness on her cheeks.

It's delicious, isn't it? ’

As soon as you put it in your mouth, the liver of the deer melts in your tongue and plays the juice of the deer and the flavor of the wine.

The evil thought of eating just one thing and throwing down the plate disappeared like a wash and I could find myself enjoying the food of a strange man.

It wasn't just deer liver food that was delicious.

The crispness and saltiness of the potato paste decorated with rice flour on the side legs were combined with a slightly damp deer liver dish, and the salad with it was also replenishing the lack of cleanliness.

After some time, the Bregas brothers' dishes were neatly emptied.

Iliya Bregas wipes her mouth with a satisfactory face and tells Sofia.

“How is it? Is it really good? ”

In response, Sofia Bregas coldly snorted.

“It's not that bad. ”

The horse was grumpy, but it was not very convincing that the dish was emptied.

After the meal, Iliya Bregas complimented Kim Sung-cheol's skill and gave him a gold coin as compensation.

“It's a small gesture, but it's in my best interest. ”

Then he took Sofia's gaze and asked her to cook for him the next time.

Kim Sung-cheol happily said yes.

I was interested in Martin Bregas' children.

I don't know what the children of famous people in this world are risking their lives for, but if we're lucky, we might be able to connect them with profits.

“You can call me anytime. I'll do my best. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said so, revealing the chef's token that glowed in golden light hidden in the corner of his coat.

However, the sisters did not recognize the brooch.

*

One day later, the Nine Crusaders and the Punishment Force continued their journey to the Magic System.

An hour or so on foot, the rugged mountain range ended, and instead, the red-light desert spread to the end of the horizon.

The so-called land that swallowed the sun was low in sunshine, with high rainfall and cold air and conditions far from the desert, but as you can see, it was a vast desert.

The secret is in the ground.

The red sand in the sky remains warm all year round.

This is because the heat beneath the ground is heating up red sand.

Thus, demons are active frequently during the winter months and inhabit the infamous death sands on the front lines.

Thousands of years ago, that dreadful creature Sazatos saw is still lurking here.

If you think about it, you will not pass through the land that swallowed this sun.

Instead, we choose to walk along the shoreline where the temperature is low and the ground is firm.

But on this journey, such common sense was ignored.

“Time is gold! Break through this desert on the shortest route! ”

Steel gas Aaron, whose name was the guide, chose the worst course of march, the route through the Red Desert.

A small commotion arose around the elderly, but they were a minority, and as always, Ganggas Aaron stood at the forefront of his claim as an island.

“As long as I'm in front of you! We can overcome any obstacle. ”

Hearing Aaron's high-pitched speech, the faces of the veterans cast a dark shadow.

“Is there anyone who can tell that young master? Looks like that Stone Head is trying to feed not just us, but the Salvation Crusaders to hell. ”

Akkad looks around and shouts, but they are prisoners.

It was almost impossible for a prisoner to personally visit the head of the Nine Crusaders, the eldest son of the Bregas family.

But there was only one exception.

It's Kim Sung-cheol.

He secretly went to Iliya Bregas and told her about this.

“Hmm. Really? ”

Iliya asked with a expressionless face, but the effect was clear.

Senior Soldiers, including Sung-cheol Kim, could see Iliya Bregas rebuking Aaron on the river while countless soldiers watched.

“Do you think I'm an idiot? Ganggas Aaron?”

In the wake of Iliya Bregas, Aaron lowers his head and says nothing.

The march path has been modified to shore.
