Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 96. Blue Ocean

Pixel’s western adventurer’s guild.

“Welcome.”

Nadia, the guild receptionist, greeted us bluntly.

“It’s been a while, Nadia.”

“Yeah, well… It’s only been two days.”

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

“No…Then I’m busy. The hairy man is over there, so take care of it.”

“Hmm?”

She had a terribly cold demeanor, and a glimpse of her expression showed anger boiling deep within.

We quickly figured out why.

A corner on the first floor of the Adventurer’s Guild.

The hairy older brother was having an exciting conversation with a slender woman in front of him.

The fact that he was making such a stupid expression made me want to run right away and slap him in the back of the head.

“Why is that woman…”

Lemon murmured.

Somehow, it seemed like he was doing it on purpose so that I could hear him.

A splendid appearance that stands out even from a distance.

A costume with a lot of exposure, as if immaculate skin would break through the fabric in no time.

None other than Laura Douglas was sitting across from my hairy brother.

“Mr. Jeon!”

As if he had found me, he looked at me, raised his hand and waved happily.

His armpits are clearly visible, but he doesn’t seem to care if it’s because they’re neatly organized.

Every time her arm swayed, the soft skin vibrated violently.

A scene unfolding that a man would never be able to stand without taking his eyes off of him.

“Adventure…”

Several of the male adventurers sitting at each table on the first floor are staring at me with scary eyes.

It was to the extent that the men could clearly see through their heads as to what kind of misunderstanding they were having.

But I didn’t see anything.

With a serious face, I headed to the table where the two were sitting with the children.

“You waited a long time, didn’t you?”

First, I talked to my hairy brother.

The one I promised to meet was hairy from the start, not Laura.

“No. Rather, it was much faster than expected? Have you guys reached 60 already?”

“Yes! Melissa is level 60 now!”

“Well… With that firepower, nothing is impossible. It seems that all of Rudy’s reached level 60 while I was in Lucky Land. They seem to be having a hard time rescuing the other comrades.”

It was only two days, but everyone greeted us warmly.

And before getting into the main topic, I first asked an uninvited guest a question.

“By the way, why is Laura here?”

“Why? My Mr. I came to see you.”

“Me?”

“Sure. Why did I come here? Don’t just stand there, sit down. Even the little ones there.”

Melissa and Mumu naturally headed to the empty table next to them.

Knowing that it is not their place.

Usually, Lemon is the one with the children, but today, for some reason, he brought a chair and came to this table.

I opened her eyes wide and looked at her.

‘Why? Are you dissatisfied? Lemon’s gaze seemed to ask, ‘Can I sit here?’.

I didn’t say anything.

Since he is also a decent adult, there was no problem even if he was originally in this position.

‘I thought you didn’t like complicated stories like this…’

From noble mtl dot com

Neither the hairy brother nor Laura said much, so when we settled down, a full-fledged conversation began…

No, not yet.

“Seeing how you’re fussing over a joke, it seems you’re really into Mr. Jeon?”

Hot!

Lemon’s face suddenly turned red, making me wonder if it would have been expressed that way in a manga.

“Everyone, what are you talking about!? What did I do…”

“Huh, the more I look at it, the cuter it is. Do you like Mr. Jeon? Such a cute little girl…”

“So why are you here?”

I asked, interrupting Laura.

I’m sorry, but it’s not an idle situation to joke around with.

And above all.

‘It’s my job to make fun of him.’

Such inconsiderate remarks are an act that only builds up a sense of repulsion from delicate Lemon.

He’s a guy whose tick-tick tone is the default option.

When I said it with a slightly straight face, Mr. Laura put on a slightly unfair expression, saying that she was trying to help.

“Hmph. That’s why you shouldn’t get involved in other people’s love affairs…”

She muttered her self-blaming words to herself, then opened her mouth as she glared at me fiercely.

“Are you going to do that to someone who deliberately went in while you were busy?”

“Are you saying that there was some important information?”

“Haa…”

Ms. Laura let out her sigh,

“Anyway, be quick to notice. That’s right.”

“What is that information?”

“Hey, Mr. Jeon. Don’t you think of me as a pet dog that asks for information?”

“Oh, I can’t believe that. You were once the boss.”

“Hmph.”

“I was wondering why you didn’t send your subordinate today.”

A kind of contract was made with her to hand over dishes every day in exchange for non-public information.

I immediately took out the dishes I had put in the subspace ring and set them down on the table.

Hwaaak-

Hot tacos with white seaweed as if freshly made.

The appetizing scent spread all over the place in an instant.

Newly acquired rare grade corn.

This is an upgraded version of Bulgogi Tacos made using that dough.

Taste?

Nothing to say.

Even with normal flour dough, the taste was surprising, but the dough was made using rare grade corn, not normal corn.

‘No, this explanation is not enough.’

If it is a conventional tortilla, it is simply baked dough made by mixing flour and water.

This is the result of tremendous labor of manually removing each egg from the corn, soaking it in clean water for several hours, then rolling it out with a mortar and then rolling it out thinly.

It’s a dish that only our party can taste, with no intention of selling it because it’s too much work.

“This, this taco has a different texture, right?”

“Isn’t that what my brother sees? Just as he told me the other day, it’s made with newly acquired rare grade corn. Can you say the taste is on a different level?”

I laid out the background of the birth of this taco and the effort I put into it.

Said Laura, swallowing.

“Mr. Jeon, you didn’t bring it out just to watch, right? I can taste it too, right?”

Her greedy eyes ran over her lips several times with her tongue.

Although she has cast charm on me several times, I’m not the kind of person who will easily pass over.

“Let’s listen first. What information did you bring?”

“What? A player anyway? Okay. I’ll talk first.”

Because of the delicious scent that spreads throughout the Adventurer’s Guild building, you can hear saliva dripping here and there.

With that sound in the background, important information began pouring out of Laura-san’s mouth.

“Three major?”

“Yes. It must have been the information that came from Kang Dae-san’s mouth, not from anyone else.”

Information that demons will invade the world of humans in the next three weeks.

“Kang Dae-san? Are you talking about Demon Slash Master?”

“Right.”

“You found this information in just two days?”

It was so sudden.

Only two days after the Continental Conference.

Meanwhile, you already figured out the exact details of the demonic invasion?

Before my head even came out of the shock, a more surprising story continued from Laura-san’s mouth.

“Well, maybe I’ve known that before.”

“Yes?”

“I heard this story yesterday afternoon. It was the very day after Kang Dae-san arrived in Fallon from Lucky Land. During that time, the man hadn’t entered the dungeon, and it didn’t look like the information he had just obtained from his guild members.”

“That’s what…”

“From the beginning, he tried to make a deal with me using this information, the man. It seemed like he had been planning it for days in advance.”

I asked again, narrowing my brows.

“So you’re saying he knew about this information at the time of the Continental Congress?”

“Perhaps? I’m not sure, but I heard that man also taught me during the meeting that the Pixels would be invaded? If it were me, I’d bet that I already knew.”

Probably not.

Ms. Laura is a person who has a natural intuition for that kind of thing.

“Why didn’t you tell me? I thought you knew.”

“That’s right, he must have been looking at the liver to sell it at the highest price. It’s that important information.”

I once again recalled the person Kang Dae-san that I felt during the Continental Congress.

‘Certainly, if it’s that person…’

If it was the man I saw then, it would be enough.

Perhaps he was looking for the person who would buy the information at the highest price.

‘But…’

It is information that people’s lives depend on.

Just by specifying the date of the invasion, the speed and efficiency of preparing for the invasion will be significantly different.

‘What are you thinking?’

I have no intention of arguing right or wrong about his actions now.

I’m just curious.

What the hell is that man thinking?

As of now, the guild master who possesses the strongest military force.

If he puts his mind to it, he can shatter a territory, or conversely, it will be possible to completely protect it from the invasion of demons.

Was this information, the date of the demonic invasion, really important to such a person?

‘It can’t be.’

However, it is the most important information for low-level local lords.

Because Yeongji’s safety is at stake.

‘By the way, did you sell that information to Laura instead of the lords?’

I couldn’t help but ask.

“Well then, what did Laura give to Kang Dae-san in exchange for this information? You probably didn’t get it for free, did you?”

What in the world did you hand over this information to?

“Oh, that? It wasn’t a big deal. He was looking for a cook.”

“Are you a cook?”

“Yeah. It looks like they’re going to train several chefs? Why? Are you worried?”

Ms. Laura asked me as if teasing me.

“No. I can’t handle all the demands on my own anyway. Just look at alchemists and blacksmiths.”

Rather, I felt like I realized something new.

Same with Angelic Slime’s parasitic brother and Demon Slash.

If you see that the two largest and strongest guilds in the world want me, it must mean that there really isn’t a single proper chef class in this world yet.

‘You’re starting to nurture?’

What am I playing?

It will take at least a month to grow as much as I do.

If I can keep the difference for just one month, I’ll be the one sucking the honey, and the recipe I registered first can’t be registered by others anyway.

Then you’ll have to level up with a whole new menu, which isn’t easy either.

No matter how much support the guild received, nothing would change.

‘Well, it might catch up.’

But most of all, with a full set of Miracle Chefs currently worth 500 million gold, how about ten at most?

With that amount, you can never meet the demand of the current market.

In a word, this bottom is still a blue ocean.

‘Still, when you can suck honey on your own, you should suck it as much as you can. I have to pay off the debt quickly.’
