Chapter 60
Next day morning.
Carrying Ara rubbing sleepy eyes on the back headed to Ara Hongryeon. The backpack containing Bokkeum Jaeseong was carrying.
“Hoo, hoo.”
“Nervous?”
“Uh! Never thought seeing Shimomoto Orie directly with both eyes...”
“...”
Should be nervous about cooking right?
Couldn’t know Jaeseong’s inside so just accepted.
Like that using public transportation and coming to Ara Hongryeon Guild we could meet hyung Hanul who came out to meet receiving contact in advance.
“Uahaha! Came!”
“Slept well?”
“Hello.”
When Jaeseong bowed greeting hyung Hanul recklessly offered handshake first. Jaeseong also without flustered sign held hands.
“Uahaha! A bit different from younger brother Gyuseong!”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Why is that a compliment, younger brother?
We headed to the restaurant inside the guild building. The arrived cafeteria was a refined place where a huge open kitchen was installed.
“Guild master, slept well.”
“Welcome, Mr. Gyuseong.”
Already including the guild master first seeing guild members were waiting there.
And Ino Junichi seen the previous day and a young woman in chef attire were visible to the eyes.
“Ooh.”
Jaeseong spouted a suppressed cheer.
Rather than surrounded by this many awakeners that one Japanese chef more nerve-wracking. Should say strong heart, or no sense...
“Everyone, this time newly entered Ara Hongryeon awakener Lee Gyuseong nim. Tried to introduce once sometime but just in time a good opportunity created.”
Guild master Han Seokjun stepped forward and introduced me.
I greeted the guild members and did self-introduction.
“Hello, grade 1 awakener Lee Gyuseong. Thanks to the guild master viewing me well could join the guild. Please take care.”
“Ooh, newbie always good. Welcome.”
“Wow, grade 1 awakener and joining degree the ability curious? Ah! Absolutely not ignoring because grade 1!”
“Welcome, Mr. Gyuseong!”
Not all guild members gathered but over 10 fully. And all of them sincerely welcomed me.
Actually inwardly worrying if regarded as parachute but fortunately no such sign.
‘Everyone trusting the guild master.’
Eyes of not doubting the guild master’s choice.
Faces expecting there is a reason enough to make me join.
“Just in time a place to show my ability created so happy. The person beside me is my younger brother and will cook for everyone.”
“Cook?”
Seeing now seemed no prior notice.
Casually looking at the guild master and hyung Hanul, and Miss Soyeon smiling with a mischievous face.
“We just knew as welcome party.”
“Well, anyway today’s schedule all emptied so doesn’t matter.”
People who were tilting heads soon looked at me with eyes full of expectation. Anyway seemed curiosity arose at saying I will show ability.
“Hathathat! Looking forward, Mr. Gyuseong!”
“Haha. Anyway cooking my younger brother will do so I also spectator today.”
In the meantime Jaeseong was taking out cooking materials from Bokkeum. The crops diligently trimmed and arranged together with me at dawn the previous day popped out.
“Can I take a look?”
Startle!
When chef Orie expressed interest Jaeseong was slightly surprised but soon nodded.
The eyes of chef Orie examining the sealed materials gradually started shining. An appearance as if discovering a fun toy.
“Uahaha! Really looking forward! Hyung, shouldn’t we call our side too?”
“Let’s do so.”
At guild master Han Seokjun’s words people in chef attire who don’t know where waiting appeared.
Seemed Ara Hongryeon’s chefs who originally used this kitchen.
“Ooh, chef Orie!”
“Never thought would see directly...”
But somehow all reactions similar to my younger brother.
The chefs gathered and started whispering and discussing. Seemed exchanging stories of what to make through the existing materials.
‘Jaeseong English also quite. Unexpected.’
Well a guy who even thought of studying abroad so English degree basic.
Thinking about it I alone busily rolling saying becoming an awakener, and even after becoming an awakener doing this and that no time to care what the younger brothers were doing.
From now a bit more care and pay attention.
Soon the chefs whose opinions organized in an instant each placed in positions and started cooking. Clearly first matching hands but the orderly appearance amazing.
‘Jaeseong also praiseworthy.’
Among outstanding chefs not intimidated and doing his work snap snap Jaeseong looked amazing.
“Younger brother Gyuseong.”
“Yes, hyung.”
“Younger brother cooked from before?”
“Yes. Tried to go study cooking abroad to France but I became an awakener and missed the opportunity.”
At my words hyung Hanul thought for a moment then tilted head as if not understanding.
“What relation younger brother Gyuseong becoming an awakener?”
“Our house went bankrupt. With insufficient money forced to make me awaken.”
“Huh, that really a sorry story.”
“No. Thinking now a right choice so not a bad matter. Studying abroad can send even now.”
“That’s right! Haha!”
Past time can’t reverse so rather than living regretting planning ahead more constructive.
As much as not done, no with interest added only remaining to return.
“I’ll serve the first dish.”
The server brought the first dish.
Already from when cooking started a fantastic smell making saliva gather was wrapping the restaurant inside.
People stretched necks and examined the kitchen where on earth such smell coming from and now time to confirm the reality.
“Whole dish. Salad made with ricotta cheese and special tomato, carrot, cucumber, dungeon plant Folgrass. Similarly liquefied dungeon plant Icedrill and accompanied as sauce.”
Certainly made in the kitchen was different.
Unlike cooking made only at home until now plating or sauce, and accompanying materials I don’t have stood out to the eyes.
Trickle!
“Wine is Pago de Cos of Bordeaux region. 2014 vintage and overflowing energy feeling...”
Wow, even following wine in the cafeteria?
To begin with seeing the composition of cooking coming out like a course suspected but certainly amazing.
‘This the dignity of the Republic of Korea’s 5th guild. No, then the guilds above?’
Junichi stuck close beside me first wet the mouth with wine and with eyes full of expectation forked the salad.
I don’t know well about alcohol so just ate only salad.
“Um?!”
Oh, this jackpot?
The materials all blended okay. Honestly besides the vegetables I brought all first or unfamiliar so worried...
“Jackpot!”
“No, salad this delicious matter?”
“...From now I when dieting absolutely can’t eat salad. Knew such delicious salad exists so absolutely can’t return to before!”
People’s favorable reviews continued.
Well, the expected reaction so accepted and continued putting salad in the mouth. But the two sturdy hyungs on both sides continuously gave eyes.
“Indeed Mr. Gyuseong’s materials fantastic. But the sensation felt yesterday even more amazing.”
“Hmph! Still only salad, Junichi! Prepare the heart firmly and be!”
Because material trimming already mostly done and many people in the kitchen cooking came out quickly.
And as if salad degree was nothing the gradually upgrading taste and flavor feast people became quiet.
Clatter- Clatter-
Munch munch chew chew!
Forgetting even words or admiration and burying the face as if dedicating everything to emptying the bowl cleanly.
The funny thing not only one or two doing so but all people showing the same reaction uniformly.
Of course me the same.
‘No, if combining like this such taste...?!’
My materials and the materials in the kitchen harmonized and maximized the taste. The hidden taste of my crops already felt familiar was revealing.
Ah, so this is why cooking.
Bursting into admiration inside and eating suddenly a strange sound was heard.
“Uheuk, uheuheuk.”
“Ju, Junichi nim?”
Ino Junichi eating the horn cow meat accompanied with sweet potato puree shed tears.
But flustering this time hyung Hanul showed tears.
“...”
Hyung though not crying out loud was flowing much more amount of tears than Junichi.
The appearance of mechanically chewing the mouth and closing both eyes and shedding tears was bizarre.
“Haa, Mr. Gyuseong.”
“Junichi nim, okay?”
“Yes, okay. Rather really thank you.”
Junichi forcibly wiped tears and blew his nose. Then tightly held both my hands and lowered his head.
“Leaving such an experience to me really thank, thank again. Recommending to me first the previous day thank once more.”
“Fortunate seems satisfied.”
“From now if matters of coming to Japan, or even not if needing help contact anytime through the business card I gave. If Mr. Gyuseong’s matter I’ll set aside all matters and run.”
“Haha. Even words thankful.”
Amid the story progressing warmly the main dish ended and the turn of dessert came. Dessert also things made with my materials.
“Inside sweet potato mousse, outside hardened chocolate and made.”
“Ice cream made maximizing the carrot’s sweetness. Accompanying the Masmousse syrup beside good.”
“Cookies made concentrating eggplant. Baked with artifact oven and made the flavor deeper.”
Originally impossible to make in a short period dishes were born quickly using the power of items and artifacts.
And experiencing a new world once more realized why Jaeseong tried to research cooking that much.
‘The world of cooking also not easy deep.’
The cooking I know not all.
And to make such dishes the help of tools also necessary realized fully.
Later when earning money sufficiently and setting up Jaeseong’s restaurant consider such items or artifacts too.
“Haa, really seems dreamed.”
“What did we experience now? Did we eat rice, or went to another world and came.”
Enjoying the tea and coffee that came out as the last dessert only then people’s words opened. Each saying impressions and forming consensus appearance good to see.
“Hoo, today we also really had a good experience.”
The chefs came out of the kitchen and showed a satisfied smile and greeted. Then people’s applause poured out.
Clap clap clap clap!
Whistle-!
“Today really cool! Jackpot!”
“Everyone who cooked good work! Want to experience such emotion once more. Thank you!”
And in the center was Jaeseong.
Whether the guy’s information was helpful Ara Hongryeon’s chefs and chef Orie turned the credit to each other to Jaeseong.
“First using materials but thanks to Jaeseong nim could handle close to perfect.”
“Thank you very much, Jaeseong.”
Seeing Jaeseong receiving people’s cheers my mood also improved. A feeling of the effort until now being rewarded.
Jaeseong too, and me too.
We were not wrong.
“Thank you, thank you.”
Jaeseong uncharacteristically tearing up and greeted. Then suddenly thud and stopped.
“Hm? Jaeseong?”
At the sudden movement worried me calling Jaeseong muttered with a flustered expression.
“Hy, hyung.”
“Why? What’s the matter?”
Too excited and head hurt?
Something wrong with the body?
People all looked worriedly at the sudden situation. Amid imagining several bad things Jaeseong finally opened his mouth.
“I see something strange.”
“What?”
“Awakening? Seeing letters of awakened?”
“What?!”
