A morning like any other.

A commute like any other.

“Ughhhh.”

…Just like that, unlike any other time, I died.

The cause was a heart attack.

Probably the result of pouring in only energy drinks after three consecutive days of overtime.

And when I came to, I saw an unfamiliar sky.

“Huh? What is this, where am I?”

The moment I opened my eyes, I was in a completely different world.

And, I realized.

That this was a common, common isekai reincarnation.

A body unlike any other.

A world unlike any other.

This place I was reincarnated into was a typical fantasy world.

There are adventurers, there are dungeons, there are monsters, and occasionally, heroes who disappear.

The atmosphere was even quite close to a healing genre story.

A world where you go into a dungeon, catch monsters, collect treasure, and occasionally get chased out.

Honestly, at this point, I should be thankful to the gods.

They sent a human who died from overwork during overtime to a rather decent world, didn’t they?

Thank you, gods! Truly.

Two months after being reincarnated. I had become an ordinary adventurer.

…Even so, it was at the level of living modestly by only catching monsters in the upper floors of dungeons and selling them for ingredients.

Because I didn’t have any cheat abilities like in manga or novels.

Still, there was just one thing special about me.

That is, cooking!

In my previous life, living alone, my hobby was watching cooking videos and cooking,

But when I tried cooking in this world, I was strangely better at it.

You could say it was a sense, or maybe skill in handling ingredients. It felt like I had somehow become more proficient.

So, I lived by cooking monsters deliciously, like adding grape flavor to slime to make it like jelly, or making rice bowls with lizardman meat.

I was living by cooking monsters deliciously.

And today, like always—

A dungeon like any other!

The upper floors of a dungeon like any other!

Just when I was butchering a wild boar monster to grill and eat.

“Hey, hey, do you happen to know how to cook monsters?”

An unfamiliar voice was heard.

When I turned my head, there were three women staring intently at me.

They were all beautiful women.

The first one that caught my eye was the woman who spoke to me, wearing light armor.

Long, flowing pure white hair, a confident posture.

And with playful red eyes, she was looking down at me slightly and smiling.

She seemed like the type of older sister who liked teasing people, like a cat.

Next to her was a blonde girl with red horns, a tail, and even wings.

Although her body was small, her eyes were full of life, and the corners of her smiling mouth were full of mischief.

“Looks like it, Lilien? Look. They’re grilling wild hog on a grill, aren’t they? Ehe… could I have just one bite?”

Her casually approaching and lightly touching my arm made her look exactly like a little child.

And finally.

The silver-haired woman standing a little distance away.

She was tilting her head slightly and watching me as if observing, her expression cold as if she didn’t know emotions.

More than anything, the red gem embedded like a core in the center of her chest proved she was an automaton.

“I agree. If it’s this person, they might become our party’s exclusive chef? Their appearance is also quite likable.”

“Yep yep! Hired, hired!”

Yes, I was scouted right on the spot.

And so, I ended up joining a somewhat peculiar party called ‘Gourmet Guild’.

For reference, the members are,

The former Demon Lord who quit being the Demon Lord,

The former Knight who challenged that Demon Lord,

And the former Guardian Automaton who protected ancient civilization.

In short, I became the exclusive chef for a munchkin party made up only of the strongest individuals in the world.

From that day on,

A dungeon like any other!

The heart of a dungeon like any other!

A daily life of deliciously cooking monsters began.

[Eyecatch!]

What is Gourmet Guild?

A Hunt and Eat party with a simple but strong goal.

Former Demon Lord, former Knight, former Guardian Automaton.

And Yuan, the chef reincarnated from Earth.

“We’ve eaten all the ordinary gourmet food in the world! Then all that’s left is monsters!?”

A perilous gourmet exploration trip that began from the curiosity of Lilien, the former Knight.

“Aren’t Named Monsters likely to be more delicious?”

Heading into the heart of the dungeon again today according to the claim of Elice, the former Demon Lord!
