After rescuing the male elves.

I decided to cook something simple for them.

… I don’t know when it became a dish that could be easily prepared for 1,000 people.

‘Summons.’

-Drur. Wow!!

“Hey, warrior. Cooking again?”

“Yes. I want to take care of them too. You probably haven’t been able to eat properly during this time.”

When I went to the back of the spacious castle and summoned four cooking pots, all eyes immediately focused on me.

There was admiration in that gaze, like, ‘After all, the hero is good,’ but…

I didn’t really deny it. This time, it was right to help out of pure kindness.

‘I can’t believe I was bullied by those things for over two weeks. As a fellow man, I sincerely sympathize with you… .’

Zombies with rotten flesh, cyclopses with muscle, chimera slimes that look like monjayaki, etc.

Instead of being pretty humanoid demons, I would have been attacked by all kinds of horrible looking demons. If you don’t feel sorry for that, does that mean you’re a bastard?

Because the genders were reversed and I was so pitiful, I wanted to at least give them a bowl of warm food.

‘More than anything, their eyes. ‘I look like the old me.’

… In the despairing eyes that had lost all hope, it was clear that I looked a little like my old self.

anyway. After finishing my random thoughts, I quickly started cooking with the elves in charge.

The first thing I prepared was prepared anchovies. Moderately chopped radish. Green onion root. onion. Shiitake mushrooms.

When it was boiled with the water the elves had brought, the previously bland well water suddenly turned into anchovy broth with a subtle, fragrant aroma.

The eyes of the elves who had already flocked here became hot, perhaps because they were interested in the broth that warmed the heart just from the smell.

It was like a sasaeng fan watching an idol cook.

‘Wow, it’s burdensome. ‘I need to finish it quickly.’

-Smurf.

Feeling burdened by those eyes, I moved my hands even faster and continued cooking.

After taking out the mushy ingredients, the first thing added was a small amount of soup soy sauce and salt.

It was a fairly small amount to adjust the seasoning, but it was enough to give off the unique savory flavor of soup soy sauce.

Personally, it was a scent that reminded me of Lunar New Year.

‘When I was in juvenile detention, I used to eat two bowls of rice cake soup because I wanted to get out quickly. Now that too is just a memory.’

An old memory that comes to mind that I don’t particularly miss.

As if to chase away those memories, I threw a lot of finely ground garlic into the soup.

​

This is to show off the fundamental power of K-food and at the same time capture the fishy taste of anchovy broth.

When I added the spice, garlic, the aroma rising from the pot changed its appearance again.

It’s hard to describe, but it has a scent that makes you think it’s delicious just by looking at it.

‘The soup is ready… ‘The rest will be over soon, so let’s just prepare the blue egg water.’

At the end of cooking, everything was prepared by cutting the spring onions to be used as a substitute for green onions and straining the egg water that the elves had beaten through a sieve.

The time it took to get here was only 15 minutes.

“Phew.”

‘I feel like my hands are getting faster and faster.’

“Angel, it seems like you are faster with a knife than me now… !!!”

“They say people change when they stand in a real kitchen.”

“… … You are amazing.”

The speed is so fast that it surprises my colleagues and myself.

What was strange was that the male elves, who had always had dead eyes, were looking at me brightly.

I have the same facial expression when I watch YouTube videos of star chefs in real life.

‘Puhup. wait. I’ll show you something more interesting. ‘Shop window!’

I was delighted by that gaze, so I went into the store window and purchased a large amount of food ingredients.

Then, countless pouches began to fall from the air.

-Cow! thud!

“Are you talking about a miracle from the Lord or something? Summoning ingredients from thin air. It’s truly a miracle.”

“Where… what? Angel. What are these white, hard things?”

“Tteokguk rice cake, if you put it in soup and cook it, it becomes soft and delicious.”

What’s in it… 100kg worth of rice cake soup.

Thanks to this, I spent over 200,000 points, but I had no regrets.

No matter how much I am, extracting this amount of phlegm in a medieval fantasy environment is very troublesome. I don’t know if it’s just injeolmi.

And since I still had over 5 million points left anyway, I had no hesitation in spending.

-Wrrr. Slurp.

‘It’s these little things that subtly change the taste.’

After that, I summoned four large bear pots and poured rice cake soup into them.

It was a bonus to pour the soup soy sauce that I had added earlier on to the rice cakes and toss them around well.

… This was my own secret. If you marinate the rice cake in soy sauce in advance, the rice cake will be slightly seasoned.

It was a ‘kick’ of its own, filling up what might otherwise be dull if you just ate rice cake.

‘Well, I also learned it from watching YouTube. –Acceleration!’

However, I didn’t think anyone would realize the greatness of this trivial act, so I used an acceleration skill to shorten the time it soaked in soy sauce.

Then he asked Arthur to pour the rice cake into the boiling broth.

“Wow! Arthur is the best!! As expected, you are the strongest knight!!”

“Just carrying something like this. That’s too much praise!!”

After applauding Arthur’s strength in lifting a pot weighing well over 250 kg with one hand.

I quickly sprinkled egg wash and spring onions on top of the broth, which was filled with the remaining soy sauce from the rice cakes.

And let’s wait…

-Tiring! You have succeeded in making ‘Anchovy Broth Rice Cake Soup’! As a quality bonus, an additional effect, ‘Blessing of Atalanta’, is applied to cooking.

‘As expected, it happens quickly.’

The rice cake soup is completed at the same time as the well-beaten egg is cooked and the rice cake floats on top of the soup.

Since I didn’t want the rice cakes to swell, I used ‘Kronos’ Blessing’ to prevent overcooking and then ordered distribution.

‘There is something comforting about eating rice cake soup. I don’t know if it’s just me who feels that way.’

The reason it’s rice cake soup…

Because rice cake soup is one of the best comfort foods* for me.

I hope that this bowl of rice cake soup, which comforts the mind and body, will also warm their hearts. All I could do was pray.

‘Eat and cheer up.’

* * * * * *

Steaming anchovy broth rice cake soup delivered to the elf men.

They had lost interest in everything in the world and fell into despair, but they moved the spoon with a little interest that had blossomed before they knew it.

-Horrorok.

“… … … .”

As soon as I took a bite, I felt the savory flavor of soy sauce and the rich taste of well-simmered anchovy broth.

Meanwhile, the fluffy cooked eggs and soft rice cake were slightly chewed.

-Oops.

‘What kind of food is it? Amazing texture… .’

If it’s cooked incorrectly, there are sharp differences in likes and dislikes, but Sihyeon’s rice cake, which was cooked just right and was both chewy and soft, was easy to resist even for the elves.

Even more so because the rice cake was slightly marinated in soy sauce.

-Horrorok. Mew mul mul.

That’s why they kept eating rice cake soup.

A simple yet warm rice cake soup that warms up a hungry stomach.

Heat gradually built up in their bodies.

———And then, when the wooden bowl that was full was almost empty.

Their eyes were already filled with tears.

Tteokguk even melted the frozen heart that had been closed because it could not overcome reality.

Melted tears dripped down their cheeks.

“… … … Ugh, black.”

‘You really escaped. In that hell… .’

It was only after eating warm food that they finally realized that they had been saved.

It was a sight that made the hearts of the elven soldiers watching feel sad.

Especially if it is someone who has a special relationship with them.

– Jeopuk. Jerk.

“Honey… .”

An elf took trembling steps.

A life partner who is more important to her than anything else. towards my husband.

and.

-Kkook.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. honey. I’m too late… .”

“… … .”

They hugged their delicate partners, family, and friends tightly.

A scene so moving that the eyes of Si-hyeon and his group watching make their noses water.

However, the male elves all tried to push them away.

“… Sorry, you. My body is now dirty. I have no right to be by your side… … .”

-Wow!

“Don’t say things like that. You promised to always be together. No matter what you look like or what you’ve been through. The love we shared under the World Tree remains the same.”

However, elves are a race that cares for their own people as much as they look down on other races.

The women hugged them even tighter, not caring that their clothes were soaked with tears.

“All, you. you… Sigh, black. Hmm… … .”

“I love you.”

-Chu-eup.

As if that wasn’t enough, one elf kissed her to prove his unwavering love.

An act so romantic that even Si-hyeon, who is less immune to such things, thought, ‘It’s a world where men and women are reversed, so it’s quite a romantic event.’

… … However, soon his expression was filled with embarrassment.

-Chup, chup.

“Hmm… ♡”

– Churrup. Chueup.

‘… … I think it’s going a bit too far!?’

This is because the couple’s kiss was closer to ‘jjueueueup’ than the ‘side’ that Sihyeon had thought of.

Aren’t they even wearing only a loose towel right now?

It took less than three seconds for that affectionate kiss to degenerate into something erotic.

“Julian. I will take responsibility for you for the rest of your life.”

-Chuck.

“Oppa Cassius. Actually, I have always been… … .”

-Chu-eup.

And from that point on, the 1,000 male elves began to engage in strange affectionate behavior.

A scene that seems to foreshadow the first ever baby boom in the history of the elves that will occur later.

Sihyeon, who was watching this, screamed inwardly.

‘Well, you only do that when you’re together!!!!!!’

Naturally, the screams of the 24-year-old solo singer did not reach anyone.

* * * * * *

After returning to the forest after an expedition, the elves decided to rest for a while.

Everyone took a comfortable rest, cooling off their sweat…

​

My expression, which had been heated earlier, did not cool down at all.

-Honey, I’m not going to let you sleep in today, so prepare yourself.

-you… ♡

‘When they return, they will 100% do ‘that’. ‘Is this a game?’

This is because the male elves who gave up their hearts after eating the food I prepared were openly giving off a romantic atmosphere with their partners.

… That’s what they do as soon as they are released after being held for over two weeks. Being an Erov has its limits.

“Puhup. Hero, your face is bright red? Just a kiss. Cute.”

“It’s a world of difference from when you interrogate a demon, but the angel’s cute appearance suits you!!!”

“No… .”

‘This strawberry glutinous rice cake with injeolmi bean rice cake… What’s the point of being cute to a guy? .’

My companions saw my face turning red and started making fun of me.

I was on the verge of becoming neurotic because of his ‘cute’ comments.

… … However, our expressions soon turned into astonishment.

“… … … Phew.”

“… … !!!?”

“Lucia!?”

That’s because Lucia, who was sitting facing me, let out a faint laugh.

Of course, the corners of the mouth rose very slightly and quickly returned to their original positions…

We were shocked by the great incident of this block of ice laughing.

“… Breathe.”

-Help.

Lucia herself must have been quite surprised, so she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.

… Isn’t this a pretty positive sign?

“This is my first time seeing Lucia smile.”

“… sorry. Stop wasting your breath.”

“What are you sorry for? It’s so nice to hear Lucia’s laughter.”

“… … … .”

When he suddenly put his shoulder close to her and smiled, Lucia was speechless and lowered her head.

… I didn’t realize that I would actually look better that way because of the height difference.

It’s really cute.

‘We’ll have to look at the specs, but in terms of personality, he’s not lacking as the third hero!’

“Hehe. I will make you smile more in the future. As a colleague.”

“… … I’m a hero, why can’t I be like that?”

‘but. Since he couldn’t see, he probably didn’t even know that he had divinity.’

And, I grinned at the thought of healing that cute elf.

“It’s okay. I’m leveling… Hmm. If you travel around the world with us, Lucia will soon become a full-fledged warrior.”

“… … But I.”

“Is it because of ‘that’? are you okay. I will make you better now.”

And then, I pounded my chest and shouted.

The final goal to conclude the long journey in the World Tree Forest.

“———After treating World Tree.”
