Chapter.40 Cooking Competition

***

Ricent walked solemnly.

Yesterday was the best day of my life. The skewers and beer went well together, so sales skyrocketed and we took first place without any problems.

It’s a natural number. Even if other stores made a profit yesterday, business was so bad today that overtaking them was instantaneous.

And as a result of the final tally, Licent’s Merley branch proudly took first place.

People cheered, Riccent was excited, and from then on it was a real festival.

I drank so much beer to relieve my worries that I still felt dizzy the next day.

But first place was an additional goal.

The true goal is revenge, and just at the right time, I received a call from the target of that revenge.

That’s why Licent went to Leain Trading Company with a calm expression. Of course, my heart was seething with a desire for revenge.

“Please come this way.”

The manager of the store guided Licent. Somehow, the attitude is more polite than before.

I haven’t changed anything.

Licent thought to himself that something was funny.

Soon, the manager said as he led Licent to the large door of the representative office on the third floor of the company.

“Let’s go in. “You are waiting.”

“yes. thank you.”

The manager opened the door and Licent smiled brightly. You should never fall in this situation. I had no intention of admitting my foolishness, but for now, I walked with caution.

“So you came?”

Leain Saint greeted Licent in a low voice. Beside him were Leain Deren and Leain Saren.

“yes. CEO.”

Licent bowed as usual. Saint looked satisfied and motioned for me to get up.

At the same time, Licent straightened his back. Leain Saint saw this and praised it.

“Actually, sales at the Merly branch were quite good. And I enjoyed seeing your abilities at the festival.”

“thank you!”

The praise was rather unpleasant to Licent, as if he would vomit.

However, if you change your mind and say you will do more testing, that would be the worst. So, I acted obedient to please them as much as possible.

Just like it has been all along.

Be patient until you hear what you want. Because I must complete my revenge today.

Licent promised once again in his mind and calmly answered towards Saint.

“My brother and sister interfered in many ways, but it was completely predictable. The numbers were too obvious. Thanks to this, I think I was able to win easily. “I also inherit the CEO’s blood, so I think I should do this.”

“What happened?”

“Where are you talking about that dirty mouth!”

Darren and Saren frowned at the same time. Of course, Licent completely ignored them.

“You guys will shut up!”

It was actually Saint who kept the two quiet. After frowning at the siblings, Saint looked at Licent again.

It was a smiling face that had never been shown to Licent until now.

“Well, that’s right. She’s my daughter, so of course I have to do that. Anyway, since you handled the conditions I mentioned well, I should give you a reward. But even if those guys sent someone to interfere, they bribed the judges... How on earth did you solve that? “Do you really think you could have moved the lord’s heart?”

“I think that’s also a skill.”

Licent himself did not know why the lord changed his mind. But I have no intention of staying in this city anyway. So, I thought I should take advantage of the small lord’s change of mind, so I answered with a lingering tone as if there was something there.

“Huh. guy. Ha ha ha ha ha! good night. “Isn’t that kind of trickery what the Chamber of Commerce needs most?”

Saint was speculating that there might be a male-female relationship between Licent and the lord.

Well, in the end, it’s just a trick.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

As I was coming down the stairs, I fell again. Did I let my guard down?

Because I achieved my dream?

Of course, Licent was smiling even while falling.

“What, did you go and get hit? To them?”

Licent’s condition is unusual. His clothes were disheveled, he felt like he had bruises here and there, and he was laughing like he had lost his mind.

“No clothes!”

Licent continued to grin. From the looks of it, he wasn’t hit. Well, that’s all.

“Oh, so you fell again?”

“That’s not even that!”

Licent began to run wild. He does not acknowledge his foolishness until the end.

“Anyway, now I will purchase this Merly branch.”

“I only operate the building, the building itself is not mine... ?”

“It doesn’t matter. “Because you can buy as much as you want.”

All you need to do is purchase it at Ruain Merchants’ Association using your lord. Visera and Duran may feel burdened, but I plan to explain that I am not giving it to them at all.

If I spread the word about shabu-shabu here and tell them that they can buy a restaurant from me, I will have no choice but to accept it.

Even now, Visera Restaurant is full of customers, so if we move here, it will prosper, and won’t we be able to pay it back quickly?

“By the way, did you get your revenge perfectly? “There’s no need to destroy the company or anything like that?”

“yes. I’m satisfied with this. “Because I shouted loudly.”

“Then there’s nothing good about staying in this city for too long.”

“that’s right. To the capital... I will go. “I will live freely.”

“good idea.”

“But are you really not going to tell me your secret?”

“Let’s keep that a secret. In secret. “Wouldn’t it be better to break up cleanly since we both clearly have what we want?”

“That’s true... Then, something other than secrets. Where do you live? If you have free time, you can go out to play. “To see the Demon Wizard!”

“Miss Licent.”

“yes.”

“If we are meant to be, won’t we meet again? naturally... I also tend to go to the capital often. “If we ever meet again, I’ll tell you.”

“... is that so.”

“yes. “I think it would be best not to think about anything else now and just think about settling down in the capital.”

Licent nodded slowly. It seemed like he understood.

“I think that’s definitely true. “If by some miracle we meet again, I will feed him properly.”

“Of course I do.”

“Then I want to leave as soon as possible. “This is a city I really don’t want to be in.”

“I will be leaving soon too. “After giving it to Visera and Duran, which was its original purpose.”

“... all right. then... finally.”

“yes?”

Licent grabbed my arm and lifted it up. Then he kissed my palm.

“You know what? In my village, kissing your palm is a sign of respect! There’s a way of greeting where a man kisses the back of a woman’s hand, right? “It’s similar to that.”

Licent said that and turned his head. Well, it is true that a kiss on the hand has such a meaning. Although the palm is a bit too unique.

Isn’t this a greeting method you’ve never heard of? The moment I thought that, a very cold voice came from behind me.

It was nice to get dressed in the morning and teleport back to here, but Lulin woke up even though it was still morning.

“... “What did you do now?”

“huh?”

“Yes?”
