“Today’s menu.”
Opening the food cover hazy smoke together with concentrated scent and flavor spreading all around.
The revealed food none other than carrot soup.
In Austria common cuisine, Hungarian style cuisine. Combination of finely ground carrot and ginger subtle ginger scent and soft soup texture excellent.
“Cuisine made with awakener Lee Gyuseong’s mana carrot. Today delivered from Ara Hongryeon.”
“Expecting.”
Terror Guild’s guild master Johan Rothschild swallowing saliva with effort when the long-awaited cuisine coming out.
Finally first delivery from Ara Hongryeon.
Among them most having to use as buff item for dungeon subjugation so able to eat as ‘food’ like this rare.
‘Said even crops not becoming items existing that side also said insufficient.’
People’s thoughts mostly similar so ordinary crops excluding crops used as buff all distributed to Ara Hongryeon’s restaurant heard. But amount not many so degree coming out on menu only two three times a month even in Ara Hongryeon.
Because crops assigned for dungeon subjugation many even unlaughable matter of guild members going around dungeon to eat crops arising...
“This exactly that famous awakener Lee Gyuseong’s food. Until now busy and only heard as rumor or story but actually eating first.”
Today beside Johan the highest awakener of Terror Guild called annihilator Choi Seonghyeok also together.
He the rare sense of duty thorough awakener hard to see nowadays putting strength in dungeon subjugation at the frontline so no leisure.
Thanks to that even directly hearing Lee Gyuseong praise from his brother director Choi, that is Choi Seongpil never put that food in mouth once.
“Work also good but take it easy.”
“Saying taking it easy in my way but dungeons impossible to clear if not me...”
“Dungeon not running away somewhere, not even break happening leaving one two days yet seeming working too obsessively a bit worrying.”
At Johan’s words Choi Seonghyeok just awkwardly smiling and nodding.
“Anyway today as rare rest prepared seat so hope enjoying to heart’s content. Not awakener Gyuseong’s food but other cuisine also coming out, and soup also probably sufficient.”
“Thank you, guild master.”
Johan always regretting unable to take care of busy Choi Seonghyeok usually. Bringing him with industry’s highest treatment but even hard to see face.
So this time forcibly making seat and inviting him. Actually the crops of Gyuseong received from Ara Hongryeon this time right using all as buff item for dungeon subjugation team but separately set aside some for this matter.
“Then, now eat.”
“Expecting. Will eat well, guild master.”
Soon the two slowly lifting spoon.
Carrot soup full in one spoon displaying brilliant color and spreading deep fragrance all around.
“Uum.”
Even with smell saliva fully gathering in mouth. Trying to endure with effort but the hand holding spoon urgently approaching mouth.
Slurp.
Soup sucked in.
Soon five senses concentrating in one place.
“!!”
Warm sensation. Soon all melting and completely liquid soft yet thick soup texture felt.
Next felt the scent. The intense scent of carrot soup already felt from when spoon approaching entering mouth then pretending not as if when so.
‘Haaa.’
What replacing that place the coziness various vegetables mixed and made. Not only carrot but all kinds of vegetables entered so natural.
No, thinking again completely not natural.
“How such taste...”
“Heueo!”
Whether calling this taste, or calling scent. Scent and taste matching exquisite balance.
Thinking of the intense carrot scent felt at first degree strange. Other materials’ taste buried also thought natural.
Then the chef who brought the cuisine not leaving until then and quietly opening mouth.
“Gu, guild master.”
“Yes?”
“Just in time received potato not becoming item as service late and put a bit without reporting. Fine?”
“A!”
Somehow!
Johan able to know the cause how this carrot soup emitting such fantastic taste and scent.
Potato! Potato matching balance in the middle.
“This... the best among foods I ate until now.”
Choi Seonghyeok blankly savoring the taste barely opening mouth. And soon appearance of extreme praise coming out.
But Johan also unable to dare refute his words. Ate various soup cuisines in the land he grew Austria but none like this carrot soup now.
Dare assert this soup food healing people’s heart.
“Me also feeling so. No. If food made with awakener Gyuseong’s materials more delicious than this may exist.”
“Aaa...”
More delicious food than this.
Choi Seonghyeok continuously scooping soup yet expecting.
If Korean food made with Gyuseong’s materials what taste? Not particularly picking food but if Korean anyone unable but to expect.
And that same for Johan. To begin with Korean food matching mouth so able to settle.
“But!”
“But?”
“Carrot soup more delicious than this absolute seeming none.”
“Agree.”
Terror Guild’s guild master Johan and annihilator Choi Seonghyeok.
The two looking at each other and smiling brightly.
* * *
No carrot soup more delicious than this!
I confirmed looking at the completed golden carrot soup.
‘No? This only 1 star golden carrot so if star number increases...’
Anyway!
The carrot soup Orie chef and Jaeseong combined strength and made boasting tremendous amount. Hearing roughly about 800 portions.
No 800 portions with one carrot.
Even boiling too boiled?
“Carrot too strong so even increasing amount completely no problem.”
“What sound that?”
“No matter making dilute almost same. Scent or taste not falling at all.”
“Oh, yes?”
Certainly as Jaeseong’s words golden carrot’s smell vibrating. Before I knew it degree slimes and kkumuri all gathering.
“Actually able to increase more if wanting. But brother saying this degree fine so just did.”
“Did well, Jaeseong.”
“And actually carrot also a bit remaining.”
Looking at one side of the kitchen as Jaeseong’s words carrot a bit remaining. Relatively a bit and if only amount almost three four carrots amount.
“Will cook this separately, brother. Still brother carrot owner so have to treat special one plate degree. Feed Ara too.”
“Indeed my younger brother. Sense!”
Jaeseong smiling warmly at my words well storing the remaining carrot and lifting ladle.
“For now fine us eating first, brother?”
“Yeah. Let’s eat. Our Ara waiting neck falling.”
“Huk! My neck falling!”
Ara drooling then urgently covering own neck. At that appearance everyone bursting laughter and each picking plate.
“But amount this many able to store?”
“Yeah. That fine.”
Anyway mostly eating here.
Goblins’ number alone over 500. Showing Alfheims taste a bit and distributing a bit to kkumuri and slimes here amount not many.
Drip-.
Golden soup scooped in ladle amazing. Who looking at this thinking soup cuisine made with carrot.
Each filling one bowl soup and waiting. Waiting until everyone distributed that appearance too cute.
Kkumuri?
Kkumuri!
Slimes received distribution, distribution me and Ara helped, tilting head as if when fine eating with plate in front.
One plate to Meong meong too, one plate to Gol gol too...
To few fairies assigned only one bowl yet amount looking many. Probably amount leaving even eating to heart’s content and full.
Kkumuri received but appearance of just blankly waiting with expression not knowing what thinking.
Soon all distribution ending and me first lifting spoon.
“Will eat well!”
“Will eat well!”
When me and Ara shouting Junichi and Orie casually watching eyes.
“Really fine us eating together too?”
“Of course. Rather good thinking lucky. Thanks to receiving Jaeseong able to eat like this.”
“Chef Lee Jaeseong lucky charm to me. Thanks to enjoying such luxury.”
Precious food right. But food unable to be more important than person not?
And originally delicious things sharing.
‘Before that briefly...’
Have to confirm the item explanation. The golden carrot made into cuisine still possessing that effect?
[★Golden carrot soup]
By excellent chef’s hand combined with perfect materials and completed optimal cuisine with appropriate amount. Very delicious.
When ingested, permanently earth affinity slightly rises.
When ingested, mana of grade 1 or below permanently mana 1 stage rises. (1 time limited)
“Ooh!”
Effect remaining!
Not remaining as is and vision related ability rise disappeared. Mana rise also much fallen from grade 3 or below to grade 1 or below but no less 800 portions.
‘Amazing.’
Whether only me seeing this item effect looking at Junichi and Jaeseong the two only looking at me with face wanting to eat quickly.
“Then really eat?”
“Eat quickly!”
Ultimately Ara unable to endure and first burying face in the plate. Spoon still held in hand exactly shape of reason and body fighting and ultimately body winning.
Me also not losing and scooping soup with spoon and eating.
And continuing carrot garden. Numerous carrots holding my hand and hopping.
And that scenery golden sunlight brightly illuminating. Even the sun carrot appearance.
‘...Carrot garden?’
Moment hallucination seen.
While amazed what such taste beside kung! sound.
“Ju, Junichi?”
Junichi before I knew it holding the cleanly emptied plate, plate sparkling shine, collapsed.
“Th, this demon’s food. A, no! This heaven’s food! A, no? What food?”
Orie also with unfocused eyes spitting Japanese words I unable to understand like machine gun and Ara who buried face in the plate shouting.
“Fine eating one more bowl!!!”
“Th, yeah. Eat one more bowl.”
Before I knew it everyone emptied one bowl.
Me also quickly have to scoop one more spoon and the moment bringing spoon to plate.
Clang.
Um? Why sound of scraping plate bottom?
Soon lowering gaze me able to see empty plate. And tilting head.
“Who ate all my soup?”
