Chapter 5.2 - Garlic Bread And Soup

Translator: ChubbyCheeks

The night has arrived and Instructor Valen has once again given a powerful blow and sent away a user who was picking a fight against him.

'Hoo... I'm tired.'

This was his routine each and every day and no deviation would happen at all.

'It's almost time for my shift to end.'

After 12 hours he could take turns with another staff who would work the night shift.

And just at that moment the staff who's supposed to relieve his shift came.

"Good job Instructor Valen. You can go and take a rest now."

"It's going to be tough on you [1]."

When Valen turned around he was still able to see Minhyuk diligently eating bread.

'It would be nice if he's still here tomorrow too...'

The past two days were truly enjoyable.

Minhyuk, a young man who was happy with just one bread, could make anyone smile just by looking at him.

He turned around to leave with those thoughts as his companion.

"Instructor."

Minhyuk quickly kept his sword and approached him.

"Huh?"

"Hehe, are you getting off of work now?"

"That's right."

"By any chance... Have you eaten already?"

"Not yet. I'll eat when I get home."

Of course he didn't eat yet.

Minhyuk knew this but still decided to ask.

"Theeeeeen...."

"...It's fine, you can say it."

"I'd like to make you a delicious dinner, Instructor!"

"Hmm? A delicious dinner?"

Valen halted when he heard those words. No user has made this offer before and he also has never had anyone ask to come to his house.

"Yeees!"

Minhyuk has already secretly planned this in his head.

Minhyuk's eyes widened with his words.

The only ingredients he had were the hard bread that Minhyuk ate, and some ingredients to make soup. It was all he had available.

'Well... No matter how high the quality of the game is, it's still a game.'

It would be strange if they gave the NPCs a different meal everyday.

Minhyuk rolled his sleeves.

"I'll definitely make you a really delicious meal!"

"I'm looking forward to it."

Minhyuk gave a hehe and smiled.

"By the way, there's a lot of bread in here ... Can I eat some while I cook?"

The loaves of hard bread were piled up like a mountain.

"Help yourself."

Valen smiled brightly while Minhyuk spread out all of the ingredients.

He memorized a lot of recipes about hard bread earlier. Half of the recipe he memorized can't be cooked. He has to find something he could make with the ingredients he has.

Then...

'Ah... That's it...!'

Hard bread, garlic, butter, honey, condensed milk, and parsley can make that!

He could make garlic bread.

"I'll go and wash up."

"Yes!"

"Well, don't worry too much."

"Of course."

Valen entered the washroom with a grin.

"Yummy."

Minhyuk had a piece of bread before he started.

Footnotes

[1] 고생하시게 : Something difficult or draining has happened to you. Usually said if it's draining after work. It's the same with 수고하다 (수고 and 고생 both means trouble) in a sense that you say this to acknowledge someone's hard work at the end of the day.

[2] 뜨끔 : this is basically that sting or prickling of your consciousness when you're guilty of something. In this case, our Hyukie is guilty of wanting to eat something delicious. Lol

[3] 홀아비 냄새 : lit. widower smell, I read somewhere that it can be used as a substitute for 노총각 which lit means old bachelor smell. We could probably compare this to old people's smell but that would be different, I think they were referring to the smell of a room of a single man. Lmao this is hard to explain. I hope you get it.
