Si-hyeon declared that he would sell the dish that he had worked so hard to cook for a few coins that did not even cover the cost of the ingredients, let alone the labor cost.

Because the price was so ridiculously low, the citizens, including the three sisters, thought, ‘Maybe they said the wrong silver coin’…

“Hey, over there. No matter how much I think about it, I think you said the wrong thing about copper coins and silver coins… .”

​

“You said it correctly. And 3 pieces each of vegetable tempura and fish cake skewers. I’ll give you a free cup of soup if you buy a fish cake skewer. How about it?”

“… … !!!!”

Sihyeon actually committed the atrocity of calling the rest of the food cheaper.

… Dishes that smell so delicious that you would have easily paid for a silver coin even 10 years ago, only cost a few copper coins.

It was a price that was bound to surprise the citizens of Mercant, who were tired of the inflation that continued after the invasion of the Demon King’s army.

‘This is the right thing to do. cancer.’

-Nod.

And this was the amount that Si-hyeon, who was frustrated, had set for vicarious satisfaction.

While in Korea, ‘Controversy over festival prices: 10,000 won for a plate of tteokbokki?’ The memory of clicking my tongue at news like this came back to me, so I decided to fulfill my dream while already taking out some small rice cakes.

Below, the youngest of the three skinniest sisters ran to the stand and held out a silver coin…

“One by one? Can you eat it all? You’ll be fuller than you think.”

“Yes, yes… !!!”

“Puhup. okay. If there is any leftover, share it with your sisters. Now.”

Afterwards, Sihyeon placed an armful of food in her arms.

Crispy and chewy sotteok sotteok skewers. Soft fish cake skewers lightly coated with seasoned soy sauce.

Spicy and sweet tteokbokki served in a paper bowl. Crispy vegetable tempura wrapped in clean leaves.

A cup full of golden fish cake soup was provided as a bonus.

“Wow, wow… This is only sixteen fairy tales… … .”

The thought of receiving this much food for less than the price of half a silver coin filled her with emotion.

Even more so because the memories of not being able to buy a single piece of bread while doing difficult and difficult chores all day overlapped.

ah. How long has it been since I had such warm food?

It was a warmth that was so unfamiliar to her, who was not even 10 years old and did not know the peaceful world before the invasion of the Demon King’s army.

“G, even if you really eat it… Churrup.”

“Puhup. Should I swallow my saliva before speaking? Since you paid for it with your own money, eat as much as you want.”

‘Looking at it, I won’t be able to eat all of the tteokbokki.’

Because he had lived such a rough life, the little boy hesitated, wondering if he could accept something like this, and only smiled brightly after Sihyeon gave him permission.

Finally, she carefully took in her hand the food that sparkled the most brightly in her arms and had aroused her curiosity earlier.

‘I don’t know what this is, but it smells delicious… !!!’

The first thing the kid was interested in was the tteokbokki served on a white paper plate.

The rice cakes and fish cakes wrapped in a thick red sauce naturally aroused her curiosity.

As her instincts told her, she picked up the rice cake with the included chopsticks and put it in her mouth…

Soon, her eyes opened brightly.

-Oops.

“… … Tie it up!! But drink it!!!”

Spicy, sweet and savory tteokbokki soup that melts on your tongue as soon as you put it in your mouth.

Although Sihyeon adjusted the spiciness to a mild taste of strong ramen… The sauce was a bit too spicy for a child who had been starving for a long time.

However, every time I chewed the soft, chewy, and savory rice cake, the spiciness was neutralized little by little. Thanks to the mushy cabbage, which ripens well and gives off a natural sweetness, it does its job.

It was definitely spicy, but not so spicy that I could never eat it.

No, rather, it was a spicy taste that warmed my body and made me feel good.

“Hooha, hooha… … .”

-Oops.

A child who is busy eating tteokbokki while sweating profusely on his forehead.

“Is it that delicious?”

“Ugh, yes!!! Oppa, you’re amazing!!!”

“Okay. If it’s very spicy, there’s soup in there, right? Drink some of that too. Try some fish cake too.”

“Yes!!!!”

Afterwards, the kid continued his happy eating show.

Take a sip of the fish cake soup, which has the flavor of fish cake and is slightly sweet thanks to the radish, and make a sound like “fu-hyo-o”.

He took a small bite of the fish cake skewer, then opened his eyes and shoved it into his mouth.

For my small mouth, I bite into a large piece of sotteok sotteok sideways, or I accidentally chew rice cake and sausage at the same time, and my eyes widen at the golden combination.

Even Sihyeon thought, ‘Is this how a country grandmother feels when she feeds her grandchildren?’ It was a delicious mukbang that made you think:

Just like that, a short period of time passed.

“Puhaa!! I can’t eat anymore… Sisters, let’s eat this together… … .”

The little boy stopped pursing his mouth only after eating a whopping 1/3 of the food.

Considering that those dishes had a ‘fairy’s blessing’ that allowed them to survive the day with just a small piece of bread, I literally ate a huge amount.

As if to symbolize this, the once skinny child’s cheeks suddenly became plump.

And, the citizens who watched that miraculous scene to the end.

They gathered around the stall, swallowing their saliva.

-gulp.

“Hey, over there. Are you selling it to us too?”

“Of course. price is… Did you hear?”

“… … !!! Then please give me this skewer!!!”

“I eat this red food here!!!”

“Okay, now~ First, stand in line~.”

and…

In a city that was filled with despair, a night market full of warmth and generosity opened.

* * * * * *

While trying to feed the kids, I ended up opening a night market.

But there were no regrets.

“Angel!!! Eating these fries dipped in red sauce is truly heavenly!!!”

“I can’t believe I just fried the vegetables and it tastes like this. We need to teach this to the elves too… .”

-mum! Stop!!!

Of course, my companions

-I can’t believe I’m so full after just eating this much. Is it a miracle… ?

-and… I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been full.

-It’s not even a silver coin, it’s a few copper coins. How could I be so lucky… .

Even the citizens who all looked hungry were enjoying the tteokbokki party with happy expressions, including everyone.

… At first, I was shocked because there were people who asked me to give them all the menu in exchange for gold coins, but Arthur taught me discipline and it became a fairly orderly festival.

It made me laugh because everyone seemed to be enjoying this street food festival.

‘okay. Street food should be like this. Eating delicious food at a low price and having a good time with each other. ‘Mmmmm.’

“Tsk.”

“… … ?”

However, there was only one person who could hardly smile and was frowning.

Elizabeth runs her hand over her clearly exposed hair and clicks her tongue as if she is displeased with something.

… Did you really want to eat pork belly that much?

“Elizabeth. If you don’t like tteokbokki, you can order pork belly separately at the inn… … .”

“… Phew. It’s not like that. Does the hero look like someone who gets upset because I didn’t give him food? It’s not even a divine beast.”

‘Oh, you know?’

For a moment, I wondered if I was that dissatisfied with the pork belly party turning into a tteokbokki party, but…

​

Elizabeth just smiled and stroked my head.

​

​

“Actually, me and those who tried to rob me, too. Same goes for the commoners over there. I wasn’t looking at it that favorably.”

​

“Did you?”

“Yes. But, thanks to the hero, I feel like my eyes have been opened a bit. … They didn’t do anything wrong.”

Then she quietly opened her mouth.

For some reason, there was a hint of disillusionment in that voice.

“What I did wrong… … .”

-What’s the fuss over there?

———But Elizabeth’s explanation was cut off midway.

Because a rough voice was heard from far away.

An eerie atmosphere settled over the square.

-My lord… .

-Keuhum, khum. Lili, close your eyes.

-Ugh… … .

A voice that makes even citizens who used to laugh happily frown, making them uncomfortable just by hearing it.

While the countless crowds slowly parted. The owner of the voice appeared.

-Click, click, click.

“I came here because I heard there was a commotion… Street vendors without permission on my territory?”

‘Wow, how can a person look like omegi rice cake?’

What appeared with the knights was a woman dressed in all kinds of fancy clothes.

… But now I’ve gained so much weight that even my face is covered in oil.

I frowned at the sight, which was the exact opposite of the skinny and shabby citizens.

“As a lord who loves the territory, I rushed over and… What does this all mean?”

“Hey… … .”

“Where. Are they selling something like this?”

-Help. Munching.

Then, she came over, ignored me calling, and just grabbed a piece of sotteok and sotteok from the stand and ate it.

She ate her food like a pig, not even noticing that my gaze was gradually becoming colder.

‘… When you think of fantasy, you’re talking about a regular, corrupt lord, right? Ugh. ‘I don’t want to see that.’

“Hmm. It looks cheap, but it’s not so good that I can’t eat it.”

I was watching with my arms crossed, thinking it was a sight to behold, when she downed a skewer in one bite and wiped her oily hands on her clothes.

And then I shook my head…

He made eye contact with me, who was frowning.

“That outfit… Are you the one who ran this unlicensed, illegal street stall?”

“But.”

“Kkkeokkkeok… Cute things are so cute.”

And then she slowly approached me.

“… But what? If it’s like this, it’s halfway done. I will forgive you for running a street stall without my permission. Instead, it will be under my exclusive control for about 3 years… … .”

-Whirik.

“… … … !!!!”

… No, I was trying to come closer.

-Crash.

“Angel. Could you please close your eyes for a moment?”

“I will not forgive your disrespect towards the savior.”

“Hee, hee hee!!!?”

Arthur suddenly pulled out a great sword out of the air and brought it to her neck at an invisible speed.

Until Lucia put five arrows on her bow at once and aimed them at the knights behind her.

‘… ‘Wow, that’s hot.’

“Arthur. Lucia.”

“Angel. No matter how much the angel asks, I just can’t look at this disgusting person… .”

Looking at that scene, I slowly opened my mouth.

Arthur must have thought that I would respond as moderately as usual, as per the concept, but he shook his head in a stern voice…

-Poof!

“Good job!!”

‘As a member of the National Recognition Association, I recognize self-defense!’

“… … … ?”

As if to overturn their expectations, I gave them a double slap from behind.

concept? The original concept was that of a craftsman who would get angry if his cooking was ignored? This is within the scope of role-playing.

Because of this, I dared to tea bag in front of the malicious consumer who was in charge of cooking in front of the chef.

—and.

While the people around me sigh in despair at my actions of teabagging in the world.

“In the name of Hohenstein… .”

“The Lord… … .”

-Mrrr… Stop stop stop stop!!!!

Elizabeth and I, stop. And a brief argument broke out between the Lords of Omegi Rice Cake…

After a while.

“I am the rightful lord of this territory, recognized by the Lord!!! No matter how much you are a group of warriors, you cannot threaten innocent, faithful believers like this… … .”

-Tiring! … Hwaaa!!

“… … … !!!!!!!?”

‘No, wings come out of here!? I never thought of doing this!? Oh, it’s ruined!!!!!’

… I unintentionally acquired an argument cheat that I will use for the rest of my life.
