After making Lucia’s eyes sparkle even without the three hundred stone offering.

“… … eww. Ugh.”

‘It’s good to get out of Dongtae’s eyes, but why are you like that? ‘Do you need to pee?’

Lucia is writhing with a blushing face.

Of course, it was only at a minimal level, so other people didn’t seem to notice…

As a TRPG character with a level 100 level of insight, I easily realized her unusual symptoms.

So, I quietly whispered to Fraun.

-Whisper.

“It’s a bit weird for a man to say something like this, but Lucia, it looks like you want to go to the bathroom right now? Fraun is bringing me some.”

-Muttering.

“… The savior is all good, but he is too tactless.”

“… … ?”

“It’s nothing. Anyway, he’s a kid who can take care of himself, so don’t worry too much.”

I whispered, ‘Doesn’t he need to pee?’, but Fraun didn’t seem to care at all when he heard that.

Rather, he looked at me and Lucia alternately and smiled, as if he didn’t have a single trace of anxiety.

‘If that’s the case with my real sister, then that’s the way it is.’

“Okay. then… Fraun, try some chive pancakes here. It’s going to cool down like this.”

“I would be grateful.”

“Enjoy your meal. … Elizabeth? Aren’t I lacking in that?”

“I was just about to say it. Can you cook more of this chive pancake? Arthur and Shinsoo ate them all.”

As I was feeling embarrassed and holding out the plate of chive pancakes, Elizabeth came up to the table holding an empty plate.

It was a bonus that Mummumi, whose mouth was covered in grease, and Arthur, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, also followed suit.

“An angel!!! This is so delicious!!!”

-Stop, stop, stop!!! Stop, stop!!!

-Jump up. Whirling!

‘Oh my. Now you can even do somersaults?’

Among them, the one that caught my eye was the chive pancake, which seemed to like it so much that it jumped up and did a 360-degree somersault.

The sight was so amazing that even Lucia, who had been writhing around, came to her senses.

“… … Oh my god, how can a puppy… !!!!?”

“Puhup. Everyone reacts similarly when they see our Shinsoo. Anyway, Elizabeth, Arthur. Sit here. Frown? Is it okay to sit together?”

-Mumble, gulp.

“Of course. You are part of the Savior’s group.”

“Thank you. Then just wait a moment. I’m going to grill a lot of chive pancakes.”

Thanks to Mummummi’s reaction, the atmosphere has calmed down considerably.

As my companions took their seats across from the high elf sisters, I turned around with a grin.

The direction my steps were heading was toward the simple kitchen counter where an induction stone plate was installed.

Standing in front of him, I quickly started grilling chive pancakes.

-Squishy.

‘As expected, the chive pancake batter is delicious when it is just slightly cohesive.’

A dough that minimizes gluten formation by adding cold water and eggs to pancake powder and gently loosening it with chopsticks.

This way, the chewy taste is lost, but the crunchy taste is preserved, which is my personal preference.

Then, you can finish the chive pancake dough by adding a little batter to the chives and spicy Cheongyang peppers that have been cut into appropriate lengths and mixing them gently.

It looks more like a mixture of mugwort rather than dough because the chives were mixed to keep the green smell from coming out…

If you spread this thinly and bake it, it looks amazing.

‘This is the vegan version… ‘We need to make non-vegan ones too.’

However, this is a dough for two sisters who prefer vegetarianism.

The leek pancake that Elizabeth and Arthur would eat had to contain more colorful ingredients.

For example, finely chopped squid. Something like finely ground dried shrimp.

– Scribble, scribble.

‘It’s delicious to have just chives in it, but it’s hard to give up the squid that’s chewed every now and then.’

Considering that water will come out of the squid while grilling, I upgraded the chive pancake dough by kneading it slightly thicker than before.

All that was left was to spread the pancake batter thinly in a pan with plenty of oil and bake until crispy.

-Chi Ik. Chubby.

‘Hey, the dough is good.’

The dough can become thick due to its stiffness.

However, because I pounded it with a ladle as soon as I poured it into the pan, the chive pancake batter became just the right amount of thinness.

“Huh.”

-Whirik. Chii Iik.

-Tiring! You have succeeded in making ‘Chive Pancakes’!

After frying on one side until golden brown, flip over without oil splattering and cook until crispy on the other side to complete the leek pancake.

Thanks to the time acceleration function that comes with my fraudulent cooking skills, it took only 20 seconds for one pancake to be baked.

… Well, I guess I can just bake about 3 pieces per person.

“Huh, huh, huh.”

-Tiring! Tiring! Tiring!

Afterwards, I grilled the chive pancakes for about 5 minutes.

The result was 6 pieces of chive pancakes each for elves and humans.

… Arthur seems to have already eaten a lot, so this should be enough.

I nodded and brought the hot chive pancake back to the table.

“Interaction with humans… .”

“I heard that the hero received the title of Erenion? This is what happened. This time, we have to trade with Hohenstein, where your savior is… .”

– Rattling.

“Why are you talking so hard?”

“Ah, warrior.”

Elizabeth and Fraun drank makgeolli without any snacks and stopped talking when I put the pancake plate down on the table.

Afterwards, they naturally smiled at me.

“This is a difficult story for a warrior to hear, so I will explain it easily next time.”

“This is just a conversation between leaders, so there is no need for the Savior to worry about it.”

‘If you don’t tell me, it means that I don’t know but it doesn’t matter, right?’

“Okay. Then everyone, please eat some pancakes. Lucia and Arthur come here too.”

As soon as I appeared, the atmosphere immediately became more cheerful.

Afterwards, we sat around each other and started chatting drunkenly over pancakes as a snack.

“Fraun Erenion… I’ll forgive you, but don’t you really live like that?”

“Elizabeth. They say Fraun couldn’t help it either. still… Frown? It won’t be like that in the future, right?”

“If the Savior orders it. Hehehe.”

The bitterness between each other disappears between drinks.

The sight of two rival races sharing pancakes and drinking makgeolli together…

It was as if I was previewing the harmony between races that would occur in the future.

“Yes. Let’s get along well with each other.”

-mum!! Stop!!!

I look at that with a smile.

Under that warm atmosphere, the leek pancake party continued.

“Whoa… Enjoy your meal, warrior… Sigh.”

“An angel!!! It was so delicious!!!”

‘Wow, you can’t get drunk even after eating and drinking like that. This is the kingdom’s best sword… ?’

… Until all the remaining makgeolli was used up.

Unlike me, who didn’t even drink alcohol due to yesterday’s hangover, the four women’s faces were bright red.

* * * * * *

As if drinking all the makgeolli wasn’t enough, we enjoyed the festival full of traditional elves dancing and singing with cider in hand.

It was around sunset when we headed back to the accommodation.

“Hero~♡”

-Molkang molkang.

‘Ugh, this liquor.’

“Your Majesty, you are too drunk.”

Because I was quite intoxicated by the strawberry glutinous rice cake, I decided to go to bed a little early.

Arthur naturally supported Elizabeth, who kept hugging me.

“I will take you to your accommodation. What would you do, angel?”

“I’m just going to stop by the bathroom and take a rest.”

“Okay. Escort… .”

“You saw the elves’ reactions earlier, right? There’s no one who can hurt me, so Arthur can rest well.”

“Yes. Please call me if anything happens. I will run within 3 seconds.”

Afterwards, Arthur nodded his head and Joe carried Elizabeth around him and headed toward the hotel.

Fraun and Lucia, who were next to me, looked so friendly that they smiled faintly.

“… I can’t believe the Kingdom’s First Sword and the Kingdom’s next leader are on such good terms. The future of the kingdom is bright.”

‘After drinking together, his attitude softened a lot.’

“Frown also gets along well with Elizabeth. Don’t just isolate yourself from each other, do some trade etc.”

Unlike a week ago when he was sharp towards humans, Fraun’s attitude has become much softer.

When I took advantage of that opportunity to say, ‘Don’t fight and get along well,’ her narrowed eyes drew a soft line.

“After the invasion of the Demon King Army, I was feeling the need for exchange. so… I will obey the savior’s command.”

“Sister, you thought well.”

Fraun bows his head deeply to me. Lucia helps out next to him.

I was delighted by the change in attitude, as if I could feel the reward of all my hard work.

‘To change a race that looked like Kanf like this, the cooking skills are just as bad… .’

“… … right. sister. I have to do ‘that’.”

“Ah.”

———However, when Lucia opened her mouth, the warm atmosphere suddenly changed.

‘that? what is that?’

“Ugh, yes. I have to do it.”

“Shall I do the same?”

“Huuuu… It’s okay.”

“Prown… ? Lucia?”

In an atmosphere that suddenly became awkward, the two sisters hesitated while looking at me.

As I was squirming my eyes wondering why I was suddenly like that, Lucia motioned to me.

“Savior. Could you come to our accommodation for a moment?”

“Oh, just me?”

“Yes.”

‘What’s happening all of a sudden? Is this related to Erenion’s protection?’

“Okay.”

I wondered why only I was being called and not the rest of the group, but I quickly nodded without notice.

Afterwards, I followed Lucia and headed into Fraun’s dorm…

After a while.

– Rustle, rustle.

“… Looks like everything is ready. Savior, please open the door.”

Not long after Fraun entered the room to prepare something, Lucia called me.

He probably realized that preparations were complete thanks to his unique sense of hearing.

… What are you preparing for with such a solemn expression?

“Over there. Lucia. What on earth is going on? .”

“… This is something that must be done to the Savior. Please, please accept it.”

I got a little nervous and asked what was going on, but Lucia’s eyebrows were unmoved.

I had no idea what was in store beyond the door…

‘… Well, is there anything wrong? This is an NPC village, and both Fraun and Lucia are friendly units.’

“Okay. I’ll open it.”

I opened the door with an extremely gamer mindset.

I was confident that whatever was in there wouldn’t harm me.

———However, as soon as I opened the door, my relaxed expression immediately distorted.

“… … … … !!!!!? Ph, f, prawn!!!!?”

My brain stopped for a moment at the sight of the open room below.

Because there… …

“Savior, I apologize for my rudeness!!!!!”

“Why are you wearing… … Lu, Lucia!!! What on earth is this!!!!!”

‘Naked dogezha (under the ground)!? This isn’t a gay game, you crazy eros!!!!!!’

… Because Fraun was bowing solemnly with all his clothes off.
