After pouring makgeolli on the world tree and completing the quest Full of Question Marks.

​

I got a lot of rewards commensurate with the difficulty level…

Even after receiving the greatest compensation ever, my expression was never good.

​

​

-Savior!! Savior!!!

-That noble, cute, and handsome person is our savior… !!!

-It is clearly a miracle given to the elves by the World Tree!!!

​

‘… Why don’t you just go back to Kanf mode? Even for me, this is a bit burdensome.’

​

​

This is because the elves, who had already become believers, did not hesitate to applaud me as I slowly descended from the air.

​

The Elven Knights even go as far as to place their heads on the ground and bow politely.

​

… No matter how much I like fussy reactions, that’s true. Is this a bit excessive?

​

​

“Hey, even if you’re not that impressed… .”

​

-Aaaah!!! The Savior saw me!!!

-Now even if I die, Yeohan… Okay.

-Pfft, Floretta fainted!!!!

​

“… … .”

​

‘Cheonma, what kind of fight have you been fighting? ?’

​

​

Even more so because there were elves who fell down on their foreheads just by looking at me.

​

It was a scene that reminded me of an anecdote about Michael Jackson, one of the greatest stars in Earth’s history and half jokingly and half seriously called the Heavenly Demon.

​

​

-Tight.

​

‘Is it because of Erenion’s protection…? ? World Tree, how much reinforcement did you have to do for this!?’

​

Every time I looked away, the elves fell down as if I had been hit by a thousand-pointed death beam, and I ended up closing my eyes tightly.

​

After that, I cursed in my mind at the world tree.

​

no. Anyway, is it okay for a divine tree that protects a race to give something like this to a mere human? Do you know what I can do?

​

​

“… Ugh.”

​

‘I’m not going to do anything, though.’

​

​

However, the cursing towards the World Tree did not last long.

​

It’s not like I’m going to order the elves to stop by, and they’re going to leave the forest soon anyway. All I have to do is endure those burdensome gazes.

And above all,

​

=====

Title: Porter, Archangel (Jin) (New!)

Abilities: Holy Power [8.01(+6.23)]

Possessed Protection: Erenion’s Protection+++ Lv.Max

=====

‘… Even if it’s the World Tree’s blessing or something, it’s trivial compared to this.’

———Because I had a bigger problem left.

The grandiose title of ‘Archangel (Jin)’ far surpasses the title of ‘Prospective Apprentice Angel’ that I earned after making seolleongtang.

In addition, the divine power has exploded to the point where it cannot be handled.

… No matter how useless the skill level is for a chef, can the skill level increase by more than 6 at once? In a game with a stat cap of 10?

‘It’s suspicious. It’s so suspicious.’

My instincts as a gamer rang an alarm.

Some people may say that it is a good thing if their abilities increase, but that also has its limits. This is excessive and strange.

I was suddenly alarmed by the humiliation of the desire to turn me into an angel.

‘… It’ll still be okay though. huh. maybe.’

But I shook my head slightly to shake off my anxiety.

For some reason, this scene reminds me of Professor Geum Tae-yang, who lures an innocent college student into his lab, but it can’t be helped that it ends up like this, right?

​

Just have to be careful in the future. hmm.

-Suuu… Wow.

“… Ah.”

‘It’s finally come down.’

As I finished thinking about this and that, the stool I was standing on hit the ground.

While I was busy thinking about other things, it seemed like the World Tree had finally let go of my body.

Only then did I gently open my eyes.

‘where… Well then, let’s go take care of the cleanup.’

-Swipe. Blink blink.

“Savior.”

“Hero… No, savior… … !!!”

What greeted me the day I opened my eyes was…

Lucia is still smiling, and Fraun is holding hands as if praying, his face covered in tears.

and,

-Savior… !!!

-What an auspicious event for a new Erenion to be born after only 40 years… !!!

-Gu, the savior looked this way… Okay.

-Floletta fainted while standing this time!!!

‘… ‘Ugh.’

The elves gathered behind them like a cloud and looked up at me.

As I was sighing inwardly, my companions slowly approached me.

“Hero, what on earth is going on? A tremendous power has seeped into you from the World Tree.”

“The angel’s scent is so refreshing!!! Maybe it’s because of my mood, but I feel like I’m four times more sacred than before!!!”

‘I can’t believe I’m cool with people. Arthur, isn’t there a degree to being a dog?’

The group inquired about what had just happened with the World Tree.

After wondering for a moment where I should start explaining, I then carefully asked Elizabeth.

“Elizabeth. The Lord’s request has been resolved… Can I stay here for two more days?”

“Two days? Why suddenly?”

“Actually, I just received the blessing of Erenion from the World Tree. Well, I’ve become like a high elf. Fortunately, my ears are still the same.”

“… … What!!!?”

“But if I leave with Elizabeth right now, they will be very anxious.”

What I asked was whether I could get two days for minimal follow-up.

Are you just going to leave without doing anything like this with your companions?

​

They say, ‘The savior has abandoned us!!’ It’s obvious without even looking that you’re going to cry loudly.

Therefore, I inevitably asked to stay for two more days.

“So, calm them down a bit, and also give Lucia some treatment. Let’s take a look at some of the equipment Fraun has prepared. How do you feel?”

“Umm… .”

Besides that, I explained various reasons why I should stay here.

Then Elizabeth glanced at Fraun and Lucia with narrowed eyes.

“Isn’t Erenion a title given only to high elves? Fraun Erenion. Is that true?”

“Yes. Even our savior received the energy of the World Tree more deeply than our sisters.”

“… It’s not a lie. So, does that mean a warrior can rule over the elves instead of you?”

“Yes. Erenion is the representative of the World Tree and leads the elves.”

“… … Huh?”

However, Elizabeth’s expression gradually relaxed as Fraun explained it.

She even began to smile willingly.

-Muttering.

“You can control those elves freely… As a national secretary, he has a lot of ability. Unlike cooking, it’s good to display before and after. hmm. Um.”

‘Why are you so upset?’

“… Elizabeth?”

A smile that is half conspiratorial and half happy, with a hint of scheming.

I was tilting my head, wondering why, when Elizabeth finished muttering and smiled and put her hand around my shoulder.

“Good. It’s about two days, if the hero wants it! Because the hero is already Hohenstein’s man!”

‘… Are you from Hohenstein because you were summoned from the kingdom? ‘Is there even a principle of place of birth like in the United States?’

Then, Elizabeth shouted loudly as if she wanted others to hear her.

My face got hot when the strawberry glutinous rice cake lightly touched my shoulder…

Well, I would be grateful if the princess herself took my side.

I smiled and leaned against her.

“Thank you. After all, there is only Elizabeth, right?”

“Hehe. I am nothing but a hero.”

“… … … Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.”

… There was a slightly strange atmosphere, and the only sound that could be heard was Lucia clicking her tongue in the silence.

I raised my voice and shouted to the elves.

“Then… Everyone!!!”

-Yes, Savior!!!

-Order anything!!!

” Let’s have a festival, let’s!!! In commemoration of the World Tree’s complete recovery!!!”

‘There’s a lot of makgeolli left, so let’s get rid of that too!’

What I shouted was to dispose of the remaining makgeolli inventory. To relieve the awkward atmosphere of people treating me like a god. To hold a noisy party.

How would the elves, including Fraun, react?

“This is the command of the Savior!!! Let’s all prepare for the best festival, ‘Elven Fest’!!!”

-Oooooh!!!! It’s the first Elven Fest in 40 years!!!

-Everyone, bring out all the cider you have!!! What can I use on such a monumental day other than drinking it!!!

-Male elves should start cooking immediately!!! Build up a mountain of dishes!!!

‘Wow, I really like it.’

… Needless to say.

* * * * * *

After a while. The World Tree Forest was filled with bustling vitality.

This was thanks to the hastily held ‘Elven Fest’, a traditional elf festival held when a new high elf is born.

… I was just going to chat and have fun while taking a sip of makgeolli, but things got really big.

But it didn’t feel particularly bad.

It was a really nice sight to see the elves, who had been dead until a week ago, happily dancing while sharing drinks with fruit snacks.

‘okay. Have a drink too~ You’ve worked hard, right?’

“Puhaa! Hero, this drink is really delicious? This is my first time drinking something so sweet and savory.”

“It’s even better that the speed has become more reliable, angel!!!”

-Stop, stop, stop!!!

The same thing happened with my companions, who had smiles on their faces.

My friends chatting while eating the special snacks I made.

“Eat a lot. If you need more snacks, let me know.”

-Chi Ik.

I looked sideways at him and was grilling something in a pan on an induction stone plate.

Soon, food with sizzling oil was born…

– Rattling.

“Lucia. Frown. You’ve waited a long time.”

I put it on a plate and awkwardly handed it to Lucia and Fraun, who were sitting separately.

Then, the unique, fragrant scent of oil rises.

​

The sounds of the two sisters swallowing their saliva overlapped at the same time.

-gulp.

“Gu, savior. If you eat this, Lucia will be… .”

“Yes. We’ve solved the magical energy erosion, so it’ll be better this time.”

Fraun looks back and forth between me, Lucia, and the food plate with glaring eyes.

Fraun thought for a moment, then swallowed his saliva and pushed the plate towards Lucia.

“Lucia. you eat Because there is only one sheet.”

“Sister. Let’s share it together… .”

“Puhup. It’s okay, Lucia. Frown. Because there is a lot of dough left. You both can eat until your stomach explodes, right?”

“… … Thank you, Savior.”

After thinking for a moment, Lucia bowed her head towards my sister and me and picked up a plate.

Her hands were shaking slightly, perhaps because of the anticipation of recovering her eyesight.

‘Uhm. ‘Is it a bit difficult for a blind child to eat?’

“Lucia. Close your eyes. I will feed you.”

“… I’m not a kid, I can’t do that.”

“This is my request as a savior and fellow warrior.”

“… … Yes.”

So I leaned over and tore the food apart with clean hands.

Dip it in the vinegared soy sauce prepared in advance…

“Now, ah~.”

“… … Ah.”

-Help.

“… … Haha. After.”

It fits into Lucia’s mouth.

She chewed it hard while blowing on it because it was so hot.

The food was so delicious that even Fraun, who was looking at it with worried eyes, swallowed his saliva.

-gulp.

“Savior. Um, what kind of food is that… … .”

In the end, Fraun couldn’t bear it anymore and asked what kind of food this was.

While Lucia’s mouth continued to pucker, I smiled and said.

“Leek pancake.”

‘Makgeolli and chive pancake? ‘I can’t stand this.’

“Hoo. It’s chive pancake.”

The food I prepared for Lucia was thin and crispy chive pancakes fried in oil.

The two of us looked at Lucia, who was enjoying the food that was the perfect match for makgeolli, with eyes full of anticipation…

​

​

———Soon, Lucia’s eyes opened wide.

“… … … !!!!!”

‘I’m glad. I guess I can see clearly now.’

Her eyes were filled with only hazy darkness.

​

Before I knew it, it was sparkling and full of life.

-Whaaaah.

“Gu, gu, savior, neim… … .”

“… … ?”

‘Why are they like that?’

… It was a very touching scene until her face suddenly became brighter for some reason.
