The group, who were momentarily distracted by the raw fish, soon became interested in charcoal grilling.

To be exact, in a covered pot upside down on the grill.

I was grilling meat deliciously just a moment ago, and suddenly I wondered what I was doing, and the women’s eyes focused on me…

Despite the distrustful gaze, Sihyeon remained calm.

“Oh, this? I covered it to let the smoke breathe into the meat for a moment.”

‘If it’s just charcoal, even if it’s just roughly grilled, it will give off a charcoal scent, but with binchotan, you have to do at least this much.’

The highest quality charcoal, binchotan, has good burning power and produces less smoke.

​

However, binchotan also had its drawbacks. The problem was that the flavor of charcoal was not well absorbed into the meat due to the fact that it did not produce much smoke.

To solve this problem, Sihyeon created a simple smoker by covering a pot on the grill.

Thanks to this, the smoke streams were trapped inside and swirling around rather than escaping outside.

The smoke filled with the scent of charcoal will eventually be absorbed into the meat.

Sihyeon’s smile became a little brighter.

“Actually, I cooked it well while everyone was eating it. If I open it now, can I eat it right away?”

“Oh… !!!”

This is such good news that the group of people who were protesting with their eyes asking for more yukhoe just moments ago grabbed their forks as if they had never done so before.

In the midst of it all, a pot filled with everyone’s expectations was lifted…

-Whaaah!!!

“Ta-da~.”

“… … Wow.”

‘The scent, what… .’

Soon, the charcoal smoke trapped inside was released all at once.

Although it quickly disappeared due to the ventilation magic circle installed by Rinne, the scent was enough to irritate the nasal passages of the companions even for a split second.

and… After the smoke cleared.

On the gently heated charcoal, the brilliant appearance of the meat revealed itself.

-Degurr, degurr.

“Umm… It’s ripe. You can eat it now.”

Chateaubriand was cooked by cutting it into large cubes and rolling it around to create some grill marks.

Thanks to the firepower of bincho charcoal, the meat was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and was slightly undercooked than medium rare.

A very appropriate grilling that allows you to enjoy the softness of top-quality Chateaubriand while also enjoying the rich flavor of marbling.

Plus…

– Morakmorak.

‘hmm. It was cooked well without any soot. ‘I could smell the charcoal really well.’

Isn’t the scent so delicious that the companions can’t stop drooling?

I just grilled the meat on good charcoal. How can it smell so delicious?

Even the vision of grilling meat was so mysterious that it seemed like a mystery to me.

however…

‘Why is it baked so deliciously? Hey, what do you think?’

– Rattling.

“Sleep. Because it was such a good cut, I cooked it a little less than medium rare.”

Si-hyeon, thinking that a good thing is a good thing, picked up the meat without thinking about it.

To the empty plates of my companions who had been anxiously waiting for the meat to arrive.

At the same time, square plates filled with small amounts of seasoning were also placed in front of him.

“Source? There are so many… ?”

‘Chimichurri made with maldon salt, wasabi, ssamjang, and perilla leaves… There are a lot, really.’

“At first, try just the salt on the front, and feel free to eat the rest.”

Maldon salt, whose crunchy texture is a work of art, has received Royal Certification from the UK.

In addition, Sihyeon’s own raw wasabi, which goes well with beef and is so mouth-watering, goes without saying. Ssamjang is guaranteed to be delicious no matter what you dip it in.

Lastly, there is perilla leaf chimichurri, a Korean reinterpretation of chimichurri, a sauce widely eaten in South America.

Smiles bloomed on the faces of my companions as they looked at the sauces that looked delicious when dipped in meat.

“Then, as you said… .”

-Quap.

Arthur, who couldn’t hold back any longer, quickly picked up his fork and knife.

Other party members. Even Winter didn’t want to be outdone and grabbed the silverware tightly.

And they began cutting the meat with hands trembling in anticipation.

[Catoblepas Chateaubriand charcoal grilled: A premium grilled dish made with the finest cuts of tenderloin grilled with the finest charcoal and the hands of a master craftsman. Be careful, as you may faint from the shocking taste and effects.]

[Due to the effect of 6-star materials, a 500% quality bonus is applied.]

“… It’s so delicious that I faint, but I won’t know?”

——— Sihyeon’s warning, of course, did not reach.

Even if they had heard in the first place, they wouldn’t have stopped using the knife.

Among them, the person who first put meat grilled on charcoal into his mouth was…

It was Arthur.

‘I am the first to cook the angel’s food!!’

-Paba Park!!

Arthur moves his body, even wearing an aura.

It was just too much to use for a meal…

This wasn’t just a casting call.

Because she was so excited just now.

-I’m not the type of person who is so unfeminine that I get embarrassed in front of a boy’s cooking. Unlike you.

‘It will be different from now on, Mr. Winter…’ !!’

Even Winter, who met Si-hyeon for the first time today, put raw meat into her mouth without hesitation. Didn’t she blasphemously doubt her angel?

Arthur, who had reflected bitterly on his disbelief, had just vowed never to show himself like that again.

And, a way to prove my faith.

For her, it was eating Sihyeon’s cooking. And it’s faster and more delicious than anyone else.

Hand movements filled with determination and determination moved across the table at a speed that left an afterimage.

-Shashashak. Fly, flutter.

Pick up a little salt with your hand and sprinkle it over the meat.

Before the salt grains even settled, a knife imbued with sword energy cut the meat into bite-sized pieces.

And, as soon as the salt settles on the meat.

She dipped the meat with her fork and shoved it into my mouth at lightning speed.

Not even a second had passed since Sihyeon’s permission was given.

– Mumbling.

“… … ?”

However, unlike the ones that moved to the point where they were not even visible to the eye.

Arthur’s jaw moved so slowly that it was barely noticeable.

It was because I was surprised by the overwhelming taste of texture that exploded in my mouth.

– Crunchy.

‘The salt is crispy, and the meat is just like pudding…’ ?’

The first thing I felt was the crunchy texture of Maldon salt.

The salt in the form of thin flakes broke apart with a pleasant crunching sound as soon as it touched the teeth.

What struck me right after that was the flesh of the Chateaubriand, which was not so soft but crumbled.

Contrast of opposite textures.

​

I ate it first and said, ‘It’s delicious, angel!!’ The texture was so attractive that even Arthur, who was about to say it, was momentarily entranced.

However, before she came to her senses.

———This time the scent exploded.

“… … … !!!!!?”

‘This, this…’ Charcoal grilled meat… !!!’

Although Sihyeon had put on so much smoke, the scent of charcoal was only faint due to the limitations of binchotan.

However, thanks to this, the luxurious charcoal scent did not harm the delicate flavor of meat without any odor of grade 6 ingredients.

Rather, it would have caused a synergistic effect and caused an explosion of fragrance.

The charm of meat well-grilled over charcoal that I had never tasted before. Arthur has already become a prisoner.

And, the last thing that attacked Arthur was…

taste. It was also the overwhelming taste of 6-star meat.

– Mumbling.

‘Juicy, what… .’

Chateaubriand has a slightly bitter salty taste from Maldon salt, and does not taste particularly good on its own since it is not seasoned in any way.

However, when the two became one in the mouth, the meat revealed its hidden power to the world.

Light yet savory lean meat. The savory taste that comes with the golden Maillard reaction. The juice keeps coming out no matter how much you chew.

The ranking of meats in Arthur’s life has changed again.

This meat I just ate was more delicious than any meat Arthur had ever eaten.

So much so that I feel delirious.

– Mumbling. gulp.

‘It’s delicious, it’s delicious…’ !!!’

For some reason, my eyes are blurry.

However, Arthur responded to his instincts and continued eating.

There were still three pieces of delicious meat left on her plate.

The precious chateaubriand that I cut up to eat once with the seasonings that Sihyeon prepared.

“… Arthur?”

-Quap. Mew mul mul.

‘It’s spicy… Is it similar to horseradish? No, it’s much sweeter.’

When I added a little bit of raw wasabi, the slightly spicy and sweet taste unique to the wasabi that I ground myself awakened my tongue that was getting tired of the gravy.

– Mumbling.

‘Ssamjang… This is, of course, delicious.’

Ssamjang, with its unique umami and flavor, made the taste of meat, which could otherwise be monotonous, richer.

‘This… I don’t know what it is, but I like it because it’s sour, salty, and fragrant.’

The perilla leaf chimichurri opened up my nose, which was tired of meat and charcoal, with the scent of olive oil, minced garlic, chili flakes, and perilla leaves.

Moreover, the exotic taste of lemon juice and fish sauce stimulates the tongue and stimulates the appetite.

I felt like I could eat meat for the rest of my life without getting tired of it just by adding these four sauces alternately.

———But, Arthur didn’t know.

“Arthur, Arthur… !!! No, why is everyone like that!!?”

Arthur’s eyes, which had been in a trance earlier, were now showing only the whites.

and,

-Tiring!

[You have consumed a dish bordering on the realm of the gods! All abilities ‘permanently’ increase by 0.20.]

The charcoal-grilled Chateaubriand that she ate without thinking was an elixir approved by Sang Sang-chang.

It’s also a timeless elixir that permanently increases all abilities by 0.2.

I took that elixir without any preparation.

It was not unreasonable for the party members, whose abilities had suddenly increased, to be on the verge of fainting from surprise.

at last. The fork in Arthur’s hand fell to the ground.

“Cheon, Sa… You’re… … Delicious, moist… … .”

-Clink.

“Arthur——!!!!!”

Just like that, Arthur lost his mind.

“Arthur, come to your senses——.”

“Uh, um… ?”

“… … Huh?”

… I came to my senses about 10 seconds later, as soon as the lingering feeling of my ability level increase was over.

* * * * * *

As Sang Tae-chang mentioned, the group almost passed out while eating grilled wildebeest meat.

Fortunately, everyone came to their senses quickly…

My heart almost stopped for a moment. I thought maybe I had read the status window wrong and gave my companions something they shouldn’t eat.

So from then on, I started to roughly grill the meat.

‘If you grill it well, you’ll catch someone, huh.’

– Sizzling.

“Angel, it’s delicious! It’s delicious!!”

“… I know that if I pass out again, there will be no soup.”

Of course, even if it is roughly grilled, Katoblepas meat is a 6-star ingredient.

All my colleagues nodded and said that it was delicious.

Even Lucia, who was usually satisfied with just a few pieces of meat, stayed glued to the table, so I guess I’m done.

Anyway, I opened the wildebeest meat omakase until my companions were satisfied.

‘I tried to grill the flower ribs, which were the only 7-star ones… If I bake this, it will really be a disaster. ‘Let’s write about this later.’

-Sureuk.

Even though I skipped the flower ribs that I was planning to grill as a finishing touch…

​

Everyone looked satisfied, as if the other meats were enough.

Afterwards, we finished the wildebeest meat party with spicy soybean paste stew and raw beef bibimbap.

– Crunch crunch.

“Ha… I thought I couldn’t eat any more, but here it goes again.”

‘After eating meat, carbohydrates are like dessert. cancer.’

“Kid, what is this again? This white thing.”

“Ah, that’s rice… .”

The scent of soybean paste stew gently boiling in the heat of the remaining charcoal fire.

Perhaps thanks to that delicious scent, the atmosphere between us became so warm that I wondered if anything could get any better.

… It was perfect timing to check the outcome of the bet.

‘Where, then…’ .’

“Then… Winter?”

“Huh? Hoanghi, do you do it? (Huh? Kid, why?)”

– Mumbling.

“… Swallow what you were chewing and then speak. Winter. Ugh, I ate it while getting covered in rice again.”

– Squeeze.

Winter is just finishing up her bowl of Yukhoe Bibimbap.

I wiped her mouth and waited for her to swallow the contents.

-gulp.

“Did you like dinner?”

“Whoa… huh. This sister, it was so delicious that I almost fainted halfway through.”

“… … !!!! then… !!!”

And, after waiting, Winter’s answer was very positive.

A completely different reaction from earlier, when he refused to recruit a warrior party after talking about it all night.

I said ‘I did it!!’ He made eye contact with his companions with an expression that said,

‘My bet is this and I win…’ !!’

“So, kid?”

“Yes!”

‘As expected, I wanted to come along to the hero’s party… .’

“Would you like to marry your sister?”

“… … Yes?”

“I will beat you to the devil, so let’s live happily with my sister after that. How about it?”

“… … … … … Yes?”
