Chapter 57

Chapter 57

Kang Hanul who finished the 3 nights 4 days schedule and returned had a somewhat uneasy expression somewhere.

If usual should be happy that the tiresome overseas schedule ended but couldn’t at all.

The reason...

“Korea after a long time.”

“Hoo, following all the way here...”

Kang Hanul casually looked at Ino Junichi walking following his back. Kang Hanul who never dreamed a busy grade 8 awakener would step forward saying following.

‘Showed off for no reason!’

But nothing could be done.

Wanted to clearly show those guys insisting they are the best that there is above them.

And such Kang Hanul’s plan succeeded stylishly and ultimately reached the situation of calling Junichi to Korea.

“Hahahat! Why so sullen, friend?”

“Hmph! Friend? Since when were we friends!”

“Hey, don’t do so too much. I came all the way to Korea directly too cold right.”

Kang Hanul distorted his face and strode ahead. But an appearance of not dropping the distance strangely.

“Hahahat! Cute guy!”

“Noisy.”

No matter how not to liking the opponent is a grade 8 awakener. Moreover a man revered as a hero in Japan.

Kang Hanul to do the contact postponed until now casually took out the phone and rummaged the contacts.

“Umm...”

Confirming Han Seokjun’s name he hesitated for a moment but soon pressed the call button.

Probably by now returned from the China business trip.

Diririri- Click!

-Received the call, 2nd team leader.

“...”

Kang Hanul who called himself and stroking the furrowed forehead. Toward such Kang Hanul Han Seokjun asked back as if puzzled.

-2nd team leader?

“Hyung. Brought Junichi.”

-...?

At the baseless news Han Seokjun’s flustered air was conveyed beyond the receiver. That too because Ino Junichi’s status was more than a simple awakener.

-Please say once more, 2nd team leader? The reception state seems not good.

“Sorry, hyung. Probably what you heard is right.”

-...How did you bring Junichi nim?

“Exactly rather than brought he followed. Sorry, guild master.”

Kang Hanul who quickly changed the title and claimed his innocence but Han Seokjun didn’t care.

Rather than that the worry was how to care for Junichi right away.

-For now bring to the guild.

“Understood, guild master.”

Kang Hanul who obediently listened to the words hung up the call and casually looked back. Whether or not Junichi making a bright smile was visible.

“Ehyu.”

“Aigo, our puppy were you well?”

Mother who became delighted as soon as seeing Ara came out to meet in bare socks. Now me the son no sign in mind. A bit disappointing.

“Great Lord Lord! Long time!”

Beside Ara who raised one hand high and expressed welcome one bear doll was held.

Actually the star bear pretending to be a bear doll, Gomgomi.

Gomgomi not wanting to separate from Ara ordered to pretend to be a doll and unexpectedly was showing amazing acting skill.

“Our puppy grandma try hugging once. Aigu, right.”

“Mom, the tone became too grandma-like.”

“Grandma right?”

Mother steadfastly held Ara and smiled.

Gomgomi dangling from such Ara’s hand was showing desperate acting.

“Oh my, but a bear doll almost the size of Ara? Cute doll, Ara.”

“Cute.”

Ara who nodded as if agreeing pulled up Gomgomi and held in her arms. Seeing Gomgomi going limp while held even I started confusing if that real doll.

“Hyung, came?”

“Oh, Jaeseong. Were here. Fortunate.”

“...Fortunate?”

“Uh. Cook a bit.”

“Suddenly coming and the sound doing, really.”

Jaeseong who clicked his tongue but didn’t refuse. Soon when I took out the newly harvested sweet potato through Bokkeum the mother and son’s both eyes widened.

“What is this?”

“Sweet potato.”

“No, but sweet potato shaped exactly like pumpkin.”

Toward the two examining the sweet potato for a long time I told today’s schedule.

“Today planning to go to the orphanage.”

“Orphanage? Why orphanage?”

“Last time by chance connection touched and decided to visit once but awkward going empty-handed so trying to receive help from Jaeseong and mom a bit.”

At my words mother dyed with delight and nodded. Mother of kind heart usually liked helping others, seemed tempted by my words.

“No, hyung! You mean me and mom two do all the cooking the orphanage people all eat?”

“I’ll help too.”

“I help too!”

At me and Ara’s words Jaeseong hit the yoke.

Then soon deeply sighed and held the sweet potato and moved.

“Know how many?”

“Kids number only 62. Teachers 5.”

“Then roughly think 80. Generously.”

“Uh. Thank you, Jaeseong.”

Like that from trimming the sweet potato cooking started in earnest. I also in my own way listened to what Jaeseong said and assisted but watching beside certainly different.

‘Real cook is different.’

From knife work to basic material trimming.

Neat and clean motions as if showing what a real expert is.

Mother also not easy but Jaeseong was a different dimension skill at a glance.

“Yeah, right. Aigo good job.”

Mother half entrusted to Jaeseong and clapped as if playing house with Ara and liked. Ara was concentrating peeling the sweet potato skin with a serious expression, that appearance again too cute.

Beep beep beep beep-

“Uh? Ara, aunt came?”

“Aunt?”

While Ara tilting head at the word hearing for the first time Seona seeing us after a long time was surprised.

“What, oppa Gyuseong came? Oh my! Hellooo Ara~!”

Seona who was wooden when looking at me jumped to Ara with a girl-like appearance stamping feet.

At such Seona’s appearance Ara who was peeling sweet potato with a serious face the expression brightly loosened and waved hand.

“Lee Seona!”

“Aigu, aigu. Our Ara came home. Unnie try hugging once.”

Seona who held Ara high rubbed cheeks.

“Hey, cheeks wear out.”

“What. Oppa just do what doing.”

Seona who as if don’t interfere held Ara and went far away. In the meantime Jaeseong started making sweet potato mattang first.

“Hyung, other materials too right?”

“Brought.”

“Can’t make only mattang so take out other things a bit too.”

“Okay.”

While Ara briefly entrusted to Seona’s hand mother also helped in earnest. Then speed attached in an instant and we diligently made this and that.

“Can take?”

“Uh.”

Bokkeum was made to level 3 in the meantime. Bokkeum who became level 3 the exterior also slightly changed and an appearance of carrying a travel backpack.

‘Mark Two straw hat, Dokdok changed to purple and Bokkeum appearance of carrying a bag.’

Now when becoming level 3 the exterior changing became almost certain.

And now gradually time to think of level 4 too. Before entering Gluttony’s dungeon make Mark Two to level 4.

“Mattang for now completed.”

“Kyaa, smell killing.”

Jaeseong with tremendous patience continuously swallowing saliva plated mattang on the plate.

Mother before I knew it was bringing one mattang to the mouth.

Thud.

“Mom?”

“Mom?! Why?”

Jaeseong urgently supported mother who suddenly sat down. When I ran urgently mother with a face soul gone alternately looked at us two.

“Delicious.”

“...”

“A, surprised.”

Really surprised.

Never thought mattang went wrong and mother big trouble.

“No! Delicious I said?!”

“Understood. Understood.”

Mother shouted as if why not understanding her emotion. At that shout Seona who dragged Ara to the room came out holding Ara in arms.

“Wow! Delicious smell! This sweet potato mattang right? But smell a bit different from last?”

“Mattang! Mattang!”

Ara fully excited. Gomgomi held in Ara’s arms also nostrils flaring visible but fortunately no one noticed sign.

“Eat quickly! Quickly!”

“Yes, yes. Understood.”

Smell good was good.

Until now made ones rather the scent faded after cooking but this one continuously spouted subtle honey scent.

“For now let’s eat from us.”

“Mattang!”

Ara as if unable to endure more twisted the whole body and escaped from Seona’s arms. Still holding Gomgomi state ran trotting and arrived at the plate containing mattang.

“Then, shall we try eating?”

“Mataaaang!!”

Ara first tasted the mattang.

Then soon sat in the seat with a loose expression and savored the taste.

“Hehehe, hehe.”

Excluding the laughter sound becoming a bit strange an okay appearance.

“Shall we eat too.”

Carefully blew breath and ate one bite of the just cooked hot mattang.

Pung!

Uh? What is this?

Suddenly fireworks burst. The front of the eyes flashed but after a moment time passed realized my illusion.

‘The taste bursting?!’

The flavor of sweet potato burst out.

While doing so subtle honey? Flower? Anyway scent without missing swept the inside.

Sweetness and savoriness, and the unspeakable thick sweet potato taste blending amid melted softly.

“A?”

Before I knew it one sizable mattang disappeared in the mouth. Melted like eating cotton candy but creamy aftertaste still remained in the mouth.

“Jackpot! Jackpot!”

“...This not my cooking skill. This...”

Seeing Seona bursting into exclamation and Jaeseong confused picked and ate one more.

Pung!

The second thought the emotion a bit less but my illusion. Now could understand why mother sat down.

Gulp!

“No?”

Feeling the texture of mattang disappearing again and the hand kept stretching. And the fireworks of taste felt again!

Our family sucked in mattang mindlessly.

Even Gomgomi stealthily eating mattang no one noticed.

Clatter-

“Uh? All ate?”

Before I knew it an empty bowl was facing us.

Flustered we matched gazes then soon moved urgently.

More mattang! We want more mattang!

“Mataaaang!!”

Ara roared and swept once with the heat of frenzy.
