Chapter.11 Northern Forest and Chestnut

“Rulin: When cooking, the fireball should be used weakly. What is this?”

The ashes of the scramble sit above my head. Even on Lulin’s head.

“Heeheehee! “You’re funny!”

“Isn’t yours funny too?”

“But you’re a little strange. “Even though it is weakened, it is stronger than usual.”

“huh?”

Lulin tilted his head as if it was really strange. So much so that he looked at his own hands using magic right in front of him.

“You said you were stronger than usual?”

There is something to be said about becoming stronger. It’s a dragon bead. Are the effects of the dragon beads already showing? Since it’s a dragon, it absorbs very quickly, right?

“I guess you’ve absorbed a lot of mana recently?”

“Is that so? After all, this body is amazing!”

“Okay, it’s great, but what are you going to do? This?”

When I pointed to the kitchen where the chaos was going, Rurin seemed elated even though it was not a situation to be happy about.

“I didn’t know that Mana got stronger, so I can’t help it!”

So declared.

“Stop being funny and get it sorted out.”

Should I spit on a smiling face? I cleaned out the frying pan. Unfortunately, cooking has been canceled. Just now was the last Palenque egg I brought from the forest.

In the end, it was a failure, but there was still one gain. It means that he imitates cooking very well. Controlling fire is something you can’t do because you’re not used to the mana that has become stronger on your own.

If that’s the case, I can’t give up my ambition to make Lurin able to cook at least simple dishes.

I held out the cup ramen in front of Rurin, thinking that I would teach her more often in the future.

“Anyway, a bet is a bet, so make this at least. “This is a dish that anyone can cook.”

“Is this the one you ate in the basement back then? Hmm, it’s a little different? “I’m sure it’s not that spicy dish back then, is it?”

Rurin frowned as she recalled the spicy chicken noodle soup.

“No, this is the soft one I ate in the basement back then.”

“okay?”

“Yes, just tear it open like this and pour boiling water up to this line. And just wait a little bit and it’s over.”

“Wow, it’s simple. too easy! “This is nothing to this body.”

Rurin confidently started boiling water. Then pour water into the cup ramen. Although it looks confident, it is still cautious when pouring water.

If you can’t even make cup ramen, it’s not a real dragon hand, it’s a trowel.

Water fills the cup ramen.

Smoke from boiling water rose. Fortunately, the cup ramen was completed without incident. thank god.

I sat at the table with Rurin and slurped some cup ramen. Cup ramen is also delicious if you eat it occasionally.

“it’s good. But the night before was more delicious.”

“You said it’s not delicious? “I heard it won’t taste good even if I die soon?”

“It wasn’t like that. “You heard wrong?”

“What dude? “You don’t want to eat cup ramen?”

“This won’t work because I cooked it! “Are you saying you don’t want to eat?”

Lulin tried to fight back while drinking cup ramen soup. Of course, punishment for the temple comes soon.

“Aang! sick!”

And then the same lines are thrown out. After all, peace is a good thing.

Elena came into the restaurant hesitantly. She is always like this. The reason is Lurin. When Lulin is not in the restaurant, her behavior becomes very natural.

“These are the people who were deployed to construct the rare below. “It has something to do with dragons.”

“Ah, the great being... yo. this?”

“So, please forget about the benefactors of the dwarves and elves for now.”

“yes... . “I was just surprised.”

In fact, the relationship between red dragons and black dragons is a hundred times worse than the growl between dwarves and elves.

These two races started a war that almost led to the destruction of the entire continent.

“Oh, Elena, please take a bottle of this too. It is a stew made with bonin. It’s sweet and delicious. Take it and eat it. “It has nothing to do with meat, so you can eat it with confidence.”

“really? Well, since L made it, there’s no way it wouldn’t be delicious. Cancer.”

“Well, thank you for saying that, but haha, even the dwarves would take it back.”

Elena’s eyes lit up when she heard that it was delicious and had nothing to do with meat. Then he sits down again and starts eating the pasta. After confirming that he had finished eating, I handed him some water and he nodded and drank it.

And right then.

“you!”

The dragon that had been moved to the second floor came down to the restaurant as if jumping and pointed at me.

Pooh wow!

And the elf squirted out the water he was trying to drink. There is no separate sprayer.

“I was awake! Why are you moving to the second floor? “It’s not the right time to sleep.”

“What are you talking about when you’re asleep?”

“O great being above.”

The elf, who squirted water, got up and knelt in front of Lurin. Elena is the one who freaks out just because Rurin is sleeping. Lurin, who is awake, is an object of worship that cannot move. But even so, he was tightly holding the glass bottle I gave him.

“Oh, are you an elf? Hehe, that’s delicious!”

Then Lurin opens her mouth, pointing to stewed chestnuts.

“I think it would have been better if it wasn’t as tasty.”

As if he still had regrets about the bet, he said that and disappeared to get a beer.

“Thank you, L. “It’s time for the clinic to open again anyway, so I’ll go!”

Elena still had some immunity while she was sleeping, but she still had no immunity to the awake dragon, so she left the restaurant as if running away. Still, I was hugging the glass jar containing stewed chestnuts as if I didn’t want to let go until the end.

***

Elena ran back to the clinic.

“Ha, I was scared.”

I sat down in the chair, wiping away the cold sweat. To her, dragons are difficult beings no matter how much she deals with them.

Ever since she saw that the elves in the village next to her had incurred the dragon’s wrath and were wiped out without a trace.

Although that was over 100 years ago, long before the Dragon War even occurred. Even after so many years had passed, the fear of dragons was still very vivid to her.

“still... Because L is kind. “I’ve never met someone like that before.”

She mumbled something unintelligible to herself and looked at the glass bottle on the desk.

The glass bottle is full of bonin. And the Bonin was submerged in water. No, it’s definitely not water. While thinking like that, Elena opened the lid of the glass bottle.

I just finished eating pasta, but I was so distracted that I didn’t even know where I went.

I carefully took Bonin by the hand. Slippery. Plus, it feels kind of sticky. I tilted my head slightly and put the chestnuts in my mouth.

“delicious!”

Elena looked at Bonin with a curious face. She only remembered eating these chestnuts raw when she lived in the elven forest.

Raw Bonin was delicious enough, but this was beyond my imagination. First of all, it’s sweet. Sweet and delicious. Sweets were also true for Elena.

The first time I discovered that sweetness was in L’s cooking.

“amazing. This is the first time I’ve ever felt envious of a great being... .”

Elena mumbled and took another Bonin to her mouth. It’s a big deal. She thought she might eat it all in one sitting.

So I got up from my seat.

Instinctively sucking on a finger covered in sugar water.
