Elizabeth suffers from anorexia, a strange but fatal disease that prevents her from eating more than two bites of any food.

But, she is like that…

-Help. Sigh.

He was bringing the second wrap to his mouth without even shaking his hand.

Not as a princess who will never be able to live up to other people’s expectations, but as just a person.

[Additional effect: Atalanta’s protection (Hero, Unique) – The hero Atalanta’s protection. Her courage blooms, and her resistance to mental abnormalities increases significantly.]

‘It won’t be much help, but… ‘I pushed your back, so cheer up.’

It was a vision that gave Elizabeth such courage.

He took on the challenge with his boastful cooking skills.

But there was something even he didn’t know.

I thought I was just helping in the name of a quest, but…

The days that Elizabeth spent with the hero until now,

-Um, over there… The chest… … Reaching… … .

‘… Warrior.’

Her self-esteem as a woman,

-Hmm~ It’s delicious~ Maybe you have more talent in gourmet food than me?

‘Warrior.’

no. It was a time that healed my self-esteem as a human being.

Sihyeon never saw her as the daughter of a great king or a princess.

What was reflected in his eyes was simply the person named Elizabeth.

Therefore, she was able to let go of the burden of being a princess in front of him.

Although I didn’t know it, the vision became the resting place that my delicate soul had been longing for for 10 years.

Under that warm gaze, her mouth bit into the second wrap.

– Crunchy. … well.

“… … .”

-Well, well.

Panic disorder did not occur.

– Mumbling.

‘… Hehe, I’m glad.’

“Eat a lot, Elizabeth.”

“… … !!!?”

-Mumble, mumble.

Elizabeth slowly savors the taste, then hastily opens her mouth at Sihyeon’s bright smile.

Soon, her throat cleared her throat.

The second bite, which she had never been able to get through even though she tried for half a year, passed through her throat with such ease that it was almost pointless.

“Yo, warrior! me… Two mouths… … !!!”

“It tasted better than mine, right? Hehehe. Elizabeth is amazing.”

“Uh, yes… ?”

Eating food is the most trivial thing in the world.

However, for some people, it was a miracle they desperately wanted more than anything else.

A warm and fluffy hope bloomed in the small bedroom where only despair was weighing heavily.

“Then let’s eat together now. I originally made two servings so we could eat together.”

“Uh, it seemed like a lot… No, but a hero! Now that is.”

“We’ll talk about other things after the meal. Because I have a lot of time.”

“No, how much am I… .”

“Now, Aang~.”

“… … … !!!!?”

A meal just for the two of them started with Sihyeon rolling up some ssam and handing it to her.

After overcoming the hurdle, Elizabeth took a bite of the wrap without difficulty.

-Mumble, gulp.

“… Phew haha. What did you put in it to make it so spicy?”

“I thought you might like garlic, so I added two. If you are very hungry, there… It’s a dish called Dongchimi, right? Try drinking that soup.”

-Gulp.

“… … This is delicious too. It’s similar to sauerkraut, but it’s much more sour and spicy.”

“It’s cooler and more delicious if you make it with radish instead of the original turnip… I’ll make that later when I get a chance.”

Extremely everyday stories passed around the table.

But why? That trivial conversation warmed her heart.

“Later… huh. I look forward to it.”

“Yes. Then finish eating… .”

“Wait a minute. I’ll make it for you this time. where… Now, ah~.”

‘My chopstick skills have improved a lot since then.’

“Ah~.”

– Mumbling.

“Hmm~ Elizabeth, isn’t it so delicious?”

“Hehe, hehe.”

Afterwards, Sihyeon and Elizabeth fed each other dorandoran ssam.

Sometimes we compete to see who can make the tastiest ssam, and sometimes we talk about what we want to eat.

As a result, the number of dishes piled with beef and pork became fewer and fewer.

… The meal ended after both of their stomachs were filled with a pleasant feeling of fullness.

-Mumble, gulp.

“… Puhaa! I can’t eat anymore. My stomach has become chubby.”

“… … … .”

Si-hyeon leans back deeply on the chair and sighs in satisfaction.

On the other hand, Elizabeth became increasingly silent as the meal continued.

She carefully caressed my lower abdomen.

A pleasant feeling of fullness that I have never felt in the past 6 months. The happiness of eating delicious, nutritious food to the fullest.

At the same time, it is a hot, sad, yet happy feeling that tickles the heart.

That feeling was very unfamiliar to her, who had lived with unreasonable expectations since she was 15 years old.

But Elizabeth never hated that warm feeling that made her heart beat.

A warmth that warmly embraces a wounded heart.

That warmth made her shed a single tear without even realizing it.

-Sigh.

“… … what? Why… .”

-Booby booby.

Tears formed in my blue eyes and eventually flowed down.

The regret she had felt until now was melted in those tears.

These were not cold tears shed in despair, but hot tears.

“Wait a minute, hero… sorry. I suddenly… … .”

-Sniff.

Surprised by the emotions that even I couldn’t control, I tried desperately to wipe them away, but once the dam had burst, it was difficult to fill it up.

Tears flow endlessly, as if to compensate for all the lonely efforts they have made.

However, Sihyeon just smiled softly and looked at him.

“… I’m glad.”

“Well, that, eh… .”

A woman cries ugly in front of a man, but even that sight is looked upon as if it is lovely.

Something inside her swelled even more, making her face flush.

The tears still didn’t stop.

“Did you enjoy your meal, Elizabeth?”

“Huh, huh. Sigh… .”

Elizabeth began sobbing to the point where her throat was choked.

But amidst the torrent of intense emotions, she managed to open her mouth.

As much as these words. Because I had to express my gratitude to the warrior.

Fortunately, there was no need for a long speech.

“Well, I ate… uh… .”

“Thank you for enjoying it.”

Because the words filled with words that I ate well conveyed everything.

She cried and laughed at his laughter when he said he understood.

“Uh, yes… .”

The princess suffered from self-deprecation and depression for 10 years, and at this moment.

I was saved by a warrior.

* * * * * *

After feeding Elisabeth a set meal of Hoesim’s Jeyuk Ssambap.

“Well, I ate… uh… .”

‘Keuuuu!!! This is a reaction and this is a game!!!’

In front of Elizabeth, who was so moved that she cried, I sang three cheers for national independence.

A quest of such difficulty that I wouldn’t have realized it until the end if it weren’t for Stop Mummi. An important task to teach the anorexic girl the joy of eating again.

I successfully completed it and received delicious reactions, so how could I not be happy?

‘Let’s see if the anorexia is gone. ‘View!’

-Tiring.

‘Oh, is this the sick princess’ status window? Moreover, your taste buds have become accustomed to my cooking.’

Even her status window was greatly improved.

I got rid of malnutrition, my major abilities improved slightly, and all kinds of mental illnesses disappeared, so my intelligence level also increased.

This is level A enough. No, it can be said that he is an S-class hero.

It was a really good thing.

‘Well, that doesn’t mean the princess will become a hero.’

After laughing away the momentary thought that occurred to me, ‘It would be nice if the princess were appointed as a warrior’, I slowly began to clean up the empty plates on the table.

It’s also a caution to do the dishes right after eating…

[Scenario Quest – ‘The King’s Request’ Successful!]

[The ‘Store’ function has been opened as a reward for mission success.]

‘Hehehe, hehehe… A store, the soul of a gamer is on fire.’

———I just happened to have something to check.

As I scrubbed the dishes, I smiled excitedly at the thought of finding out what the store’s functions were.

but,

“Then, princess, I will go back now. Have a good night… .”

“… … .”

-Kkook.

“… … Call me Elizabeth.”

Elizabeth grabbed my shoulder as I was hurriedly trying to leave the room.

‘What, did you like calling my name?’

“Yes, Elizabeth. Well then, good night… … .”

-Wow.

“… … Elizabeth?”

She held my shoulder tightly as if she would never let go.

The power of 6.7, a shame equal to that of a hundred generals in the kingdom’s army, stopped me from moving.

and…

“Just, just one day with me… Go, go, sleep with me.”

“… … … !!!!!?”

… She said some absurd things in many ways.

“Yes, yes, yes!!!? No, what is that.”

“Trigram, it’s okay. Let’s just hold hands and sleep. Really trust me.”

‘That’s a line a man would say?!!’

“Well, washing dishes… … .”

“You can order other users to do it. So please… Huh?”

“Well, that. excuse me. that is… .”

If this were a 19+ game, the chimpanzee inside me would wake up and cry out for ‘that angle’.

But this is an all-ages game, and I’m a 24-year-old virgin.

I couldn’t bear to eat the rice cake that rolled in, so I hesitated.

however,

“… … please. Warrior.”

“Ugh, ugh. Ugh… … .”

I’m Lee Si-hyeon. He is a shy man who is not good at saying no when someone asks him something earnestly.

Even though I ended up becoming a hikikomori because of this personality of not being able to refuse, I had no choice but to nod.

“Okay… .”

‘This isn’t this… ?’

* * * * * *

After a while.

“Well, that’s… Are you really okay? I really can sleep on the floor… .”

‘When I told him I would sleep on the floor, he said I would never sleep on the floor.’

“How can I make Elizabeth sleep on the floor? The bed is wide, so you can sleep as far away as possible.”

“Uh, uh, yes… … .”

She asks me carefully at the head of the bed, and hesitates to get on the bed in response to my answer.

Unable to resist her pressure, I lay down on the edge of the bed and closed my eyes tightly as I felt the bed sinking.

‘With a recipe for braised beef ribs… Will it work… … ?’

And so, a night that tested each other’s patience came to an end.
