Catching a monster by yourself is difficult, and how can you possibly get there on your own?

Ariando needed people to take care of him.

“So, I’m going to try hiring mercenaries!”

Therefore, Ariando planned to hire mercenaries according to the scenario.

If I had known that we would become acquaintances like this, I wouldn’t have had to go to the mercenary guild and register.

“You won’t listen even if I tell you not to go, right?”

“of course. “They said if I don’t go, my sister will be in danger?”

“Then leave the hiring of mercenaries to me. “I want to follow you too.”

“to? “Use it, boss?”

“Yes, actually I am a former mercenary. “I’m retired now, but my skills haven’t died yet.”

Ariando looks up at me with bulging eyes.

“I think it’s a job that can make you a lot of pocket money, but you can’t just hand over a request that can make money to other people. “Didn’t you bring a lot of money to use it to hire mercenaries?”

“Yes, but… was the boss a mercenary?”

Ariando’s eyes sparkle as if he is very surprised.

“Most people say that if you work as a mercenary, it seems like a good fit and that you chose the right career.”

Did it seem like it didn’t suit his eyes?

“It’s very surprising. “I thought I was the illegitimate child of a nobleman.”

The illegitimate son of a nobleman.

In cases where their name is not officially included in the family, they often live like commoners by receiving enough support to make a decent living.

Especially in the case of illegitimate children who have not been awakened, most people follow this path.

And Ariando seems to have thought that I was such an illegitimate child.

If you were the illegitimate child of a nobleman, there would be no reason to do the difficult work of a mercenary, so when you heard that I worked as a mercenary, I realized that the thought that I was an illegitimate child was a misunderstanding.

“You’re probably the first person in my life to misunderstand me as the illegitimate child of a nobleman.”

I once used an item that could increase charm to enter Academy City, but I think it worked too well.

This is because I have been misunderstood in ways I have never heard of before in my life.

Asking a nobleman if he was illegitimate would be a humiliating insult, but asking a commoner would be a compliment, so it didn’t feel bad.

From a commoner’s point of view, asking something like that means that he or she looks like a noble.

“But what are you going to do about the Academy?”

If you go to catch monsters, you will have to miss the academy without permission for at least a few days.

Since the travel time would be quite long, it was inevitable that news would reach home.

“that…”

Ariando suddenly begins to hesitate.

Ariando, who was once proud and brave, gradually shrunk.

The Academy problem seemed to be something that no matter how smart Ariando was, he couldn’t solve it.

“It’s an inevitable sacrifice. If you want to do something big, you have to be prepared to make some sacrifices.”

Getting scolded by parents VS sister’s death

Anyone can see that it is right to prevent the latter.

“You’re not going to report it, are you?”

Ariando had no intention of blocking a scenario that was an opportunity for growth.

“No. Why me? I can get a lot of money if I take you with me.”

Ariando is offended by my indifferent attitude.

“You thought well! I’ll give you a lot of money!”

“You are the daughter of a duke, how amazing it must be.”

“Huh? Did you know that our family is a duke?”

“…It just so happens that it’s very famous.”

“I’m kind of popular. Hehe!”

Ariando has been a hot topic for her cute appearance and genius skills since she was young.

There was no student in the academy who didn’t know her, so you’d think there was no way I wouldn’t have heard the rumors.

“Boss, then can we leave right away tomorrow?”

“Right tomorrow?”

“yes!”

“That’s a bit difficult. It takes several days to find mercenaries, and you can’t leave empty-handed.”

“We don’t have enough time. She will recover and move soon. We need to resolve this before then.”

Ariando looked very urgent.

For the sake of my relationship with my older sister, who was already very bad, I had to handle things perfectly and return home.

“Huh… okay. It will cost a lot of money, but let’s get ready as quickly as possible. Let’s leave at dawn the next day. How do you think?”

Since I was thinking of moving with this guy, I had prepared something in advance.

Thanks to this, it was possible to set off for early morning the next day.

“If you would do that, that would be perfect!”

He was a guy who just needed to be able to leave quickly to catch monsters, so of course he didn’t reject my offer.

“I will make all the preparations for your departure, so now go back to the academy.”

“Eh…? Go back?”

Ariando was taken aback by my words.

“Why are you embarrassed? That’s natural.”

“I can’t go back to the academy.”

“That’s bullshit again. Why can’t you go back?”

It makes no sense for the academy not to accept students.

“Hehe, I was so shocked when I heard that my sister was injured that I ran out of the academy without permission. I will probably be disciplined when I return, and it will be impossible for me to come back tomorrow.”

The reason was that they had already had an accident and could not return.

What would the academy think if you got scolded a lot and then disappeared again the next day?

We’ll think he’s making fun of us and looking down on us.

To avoid such misunderstanding, it would be better to extend the deadline for running away by one day.

‘He’s smart because he looks like this(?).’

What is probation?

It is a law that provides time for guidance by delaying the execution of a guilty sentence for a certain period of time rather than executing it immediately.

During the time of guidance, you must not commit the same crime, but if you commit the same crime again, you could be severely punished.

‘In other words, I want to end running away from home once.’

It’s a very smart choice.

I would have thought so if it weren’t for what followed next.

“So…”

“???”

“Please let me sleep for one night. Hehe!”

I don’t know why he doesn’t make a quiet sound only at times like this, but it was a request that made me want to block my ears.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“Muaah ~!”

Slurp!

Ariando, who had borrowed my clothes, came out after washing up, ran around the area, and then threw himself on the bed.

It seemed like something only kids would do, so the tension eased a little.

‘Yes, it is true that he is 19 years old, but anyone can see that he looks like he would be friends with Jammin 1 and 2. There’s absolutely no need to be nervous.’

Being nervous about letting him sleep overnight may be proof that you are trash.

“It’s blowing dust.”

“Muaaang~ Muaaang~ fluffy!”

I spent a lot of money on the bed, so it’s safe to say it’s good.

Since I believe that nothing has as much impact on health as sleeping, I looked for a brand that was said to be used by nobles and purchased a bed.

I had to pay a high price, but after using it so far, it wasn’t a waste of money.

And just in case he wasn’t a well-bred nobleman, he looked for a good bed and grabbed a seat first.

‘I was going to make you sleep on the sofa.’

Ariand is also stomping his feet and rolling around on the bed, covering his body odor.

Of course, the narrow-minded thinking of nobles who thought that one should sleep in a bed was highlighted.

“Mercenary boss!”

The guy who had been rolling around in bed for a while suddenly stopped moving and raised his head from his prone position and called out to me.

“why.”

“I’m hungry!”

“….”

They provided me with a place to sleep, but now they ask me to pay for food as well?

“Am I your servant?”

“Huh, no.”

“So what should I do if I’m hungry?”

“…I go out and buy it and eat it on my own??”

“Yes. I know.”

Some may say that it is heartless to send a young girl out in the dark of night.

However, not only was he not as young as he appeared, he was even a genius with tremendous skills among the awakened.

If someone tries to do something bad to Ariando, it is a situation where you have to worry about that culprit.

“Mercenary boss, mercenary boss! It’s dark outside right now, is there any store open?”

“There are plenty, right?”

Ariando pouts at my words.

I washed it cleanly, but I don’t want to go out and get it dirty, and it would be annoying.

“Ha, that’s it. Just wait. I’ll cook something to eat.”

“Oh yes! Thank you~!”

While I was wondering what I should do, I suddenly realized that I was a little hungry too.

If it’s a situation where I have to eat with him instead of him eating alone, I should eat it properly.

“After all, it’s ramen at night.”

One of the few things I had difficulty with while reincarnating in another world was cooking.

Of course, I’m used to Western food since I was young, but wouldn’t a Korean know that?

Koreans eat kimchi fried rice with kimchi.

I couldn’t hold back my longing for kimchi, and after opening the general store, I spent the remaining time trying to recreate Korean food.

Because Academy City was the place where unique food ingredients gathered, substitute ingredients were easily available.

It wasn’t that difficult to recreate Korean food if you had the money.

And, having finally succeeded in recreating kimchi, I was ready to try other Korean dishes as well.

as soon as….

‘ramen!’

It’s ramen.

It’s ironic that I want to eat ramen next to kimchi, not Korean food like soybean paste soup…

‘Soybean paste soup can be easily satisfied with kimchi stew.’

Soybean paste soup and kimchi stew were both my favorite foods tied for first place.

However, ramen was very difficult to reproduce and very difficult to make.

The noodles had to be steamed and then fried to create the unique noodles, and making the soup, which is said to be the ultimate in MSG, was also very tricky.

Make broth using beef, add red pepper powder and mushroom broth, salt, pepper, etc.

Several seasonings were added.

Through various experiments, I succeeded in creating a taste similar to ramen, and I decided to cook Isegae-style ramen for Ariando.

‘It’s so delicious that if you ask me to make it every day, I’ll get in trouble.’

Still, since I was craving ramen right now, I took out the pot, poured in 1 liter, added some sliced mushrooms as ingredients, and the peppers… I didn’t think Ariando would be able to eat them, so I passed on it and added some green onions and minced meat.

If you don’t like meat, you can add ham.

Since it is a fantasy world, the ham is quite developed, and the delicious ham enriches the taste of the ramen.

I skipped the minced meat now, and mixed the egg yolks and whites in advance.

Sniff sniff sniff – Etchu!

I heard Ariando coughing as if the smell of food had entered the room.

When the water boils, throw 2 servings of the ramen you worked hard to make into the water.

Additionally, a secret sauce made to mimic ramen soup was added.

I put some large slices of green onion on top of the bubbling ramen, and when the noodles were fully cooked, I took them out and put them in a bowl.

Add the previously beaten eggs to the boiling soup.

When the eggs came in contact with the soup and were soft, I poured half and half of the soup into the bowl containing the noodles.

gulp!

The smell made my mouth water, and as if it wasn’t just me, Ariando suddenly appeared and was sniffing the air.

Sniff sniff!

“Mercenary boss, what is this? This is my first time smelling this!”

“It might be a bit spicy for you, but it’s the best thing to eat at night.”

Since it was the result of numerous failures, I proudly showed the ramen in front of Ariando.
