73 Ramyeon Making Sword Art
‘......?!’
Minhyuk was somewhat surprised. Her potential was comparable to Old Man Ben’s potential. Even her ‘rank’ said that her name could become a legend. What was more, she was a child that could become a legend if she became a tactician, a strategist or a merchant!
Then, he checked her skills.
(Elaborate Language Skills)
Passive Skill

― There’s a saying that one word can repay a thousand nyang debt. She can speak well enough to make such a thing possible.

(Legendary Aptitude)
Passive Skill
Level: None

― Born with the talent to become a legend. If she becomes a tactician, she will be able to show great skills on the battlefield.
― Whatever she learns, she will learn and grow much faster than anybody else.
― She hasn’t opened up all of her powers yet.
Even her passive skills looked quite special.
For the NPCs that one could usually find in the market, most of them did not have any passive skills. That was the case when he checked. In addition, her powers still hadn’t been opened in full yet.
Minhyuk shook his head as he heard the voices of the children all around him.
“Hungry......”
“I’m going to die......”
“If I just have something delicious to eat, I would not wish for anything else even if I die.”
There was nothing in this prison. It was like they were preventing them from picking something up to commit suicide because of their hunger.
Meanwhile, Conir’s spiritual body crouched in front of Haze as he tried to stroke her head. But there was no way that he could stroke her head since he did not have a physical body. His hand could only brush through air.
[Ha...... z...... e......]
“Am I going to die tomorrow?”
Minhyuk quietly asked Haze. He looked like he had finally calmed down and had reared his fear and sadness to some extent. She spoke to him as if she did not know what to say to him.
“What do priests usually do?”
She tried to ask him about trivial things. It looked like she was trying to keep his nervousness down. Minhyuk answered her question. Then, the stories about food started to come out.
“Out of all the food, I’m good at making curry.”
“Curry?”
Minhyuk saw the interest in her eyes.
“Yeah. Curry. I have loved curry since I was a kid so I have been studying how to make it ever since then. Hehe. No one can be as good as I am when it comes to making that.”
Minhyuk’s expression looked like he was bragging.
Curry was curry. Right now, anyone could easily find a curry shop in their neighborhoods. Curry shops were usually run by foreigners. People would usually dip a bread called ‘naan’ in curry. The dish called curry would usually come with a choice of chicken, lamb or beef in the bowl filled with curry sauce. One would find it extremely delicious if they dipped garlic naan in curry. Tandoori chicken would also taste good partnered with curry. It would also taste good if you have a sip of an Indian traditional drink called ‘Lassi’.
To put it simply, lassi was a type of yogurt but traditional lassi had a strong salty flavor. But recently, lassis that were sold in cafes had a sweet flavor that tastes similar to plain yogurt.
Not long after, Haze spoke.
“I’ll make it deliciously for you later.”
At that moment, a notification rang in Minhyuk’s head.
Ring―
[Surprise Quest: Save Haze.]
Rank: S
Restrictions: Favorability with Haze
Rewards: Indian Curry Set
Penalty for Failure: Haze’s death
Description: Haze is good at making curry. Save her and you’ll be able to eat a curry set that consists of Naan & Curry & Tandoori Chicken & Lassi.
There was a reason why she must live.
***
That was when she began to remember someone. His name was Conir. He was a chimera but strangely enough there was a very small part of him that was not controlled. There was a part of him that retained some of his personality and memories. He would sometimes sneak delicious things in Haze’s room. However, she no longer saw Conir. Conir’s eyes were always filled with sadness.
Then......
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack―
The head of the dragon started to crack as the stones began to fall down with a bang. What appeared in front of them was a dragon that seemed to have removed its molten skin.
“Kiyeeeeeeeee!”
Starting from its head, the dragon began to wiggle and squeeze out of the opening on the wall. Haze’s legs began to tremble.
“Noona, I’m scared......”
“I want to live...... I don’t want to die yet!”
“Mom, mom, mom! Waaaaaah!”
Haze wept silently as she listened to the children’s cries. Then, she took something out of her bosom as she threw it in front of the children. They were ‘blade fragments’ that she had stashed and kept away from sight.
“The choice is yours.”
She did not force them. She simply clenched a piece tightly in her hands despite her fear. Her hands felt hot. Blood fell and dripped down from her hands. However, she still slowly brought it towards her neck.
I’d rather die than become a chimera.
One by one, the children picked up the blade fragments. Even though they were still young, these childrens had their own free will. They should be given a choice and allowed the freedom to choose their decisions freely. During their stay with Haze, these childrens had all matured.
“Kyaaaaaack!”
And finally, Ambacca got out of the wall as he opened his mouth to devour them. During her last moments, just as she was about to stab herself on the neck, Haze turned around and looked at the children. Tears were running down her cheeks but she still smiled broadly at them.
“Let’s meet in heaven.”
Just as she was about to move her hands......
Swoooooosh―
She felt a breeze blowing past her. Haze’s eyes turned and looked to her side. The priest that was burying his head in fear was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there was another man who was wearing the priestly robes.
“......?”
Just as she was about to turn her head, a baby piggy appeared in front of her. The baby piggy took away the blade fragment that was in her hand.
“Oink! Oink!”
You can’t do this! Oink!
Haze slowly turned around. She saw three black kitchen knives popping out of the man’s body that was clad in a priestly robe.
“Protect the children.”
The black knives that seemed to have consciousness stopped in front of Haze and the children. And before she knew it, something huge had appeared in the man’s hands.
‘F, frying pan......?’
For a moment, she wondered if that was really a frying pan. But at that moment, Ambacca’s mouth reached the man.
“N, no......!”
Haze unconsciously cried out.
Then......
Claaaaaang―
Ambacca was directly hit by the huge frying pan. Ambacca flew back and slammed on the wall.
Baaaaaaang―
Crack, crack, crack―
A dense cloud of dust rose from the ground as Haze’s hair fluttered from the wind created by the impact.
The man grabbed the priestly robes and tugged. With a rrrriiiiiip the robe got torn off of his body. What appeared was a sturdy and tough-looking armor that was made out of bones.
‘D,dragon...... how......’
Haze also knew how strong a dragon was.
The man slowly turned his head.
“Wh, who are you......?”
The man smiled softly at her question as he approached her. He wiped the tears off of her cheeks with his warm and big hands.
“A good adult...... or something like that?”
