Sylvia, who was in charge of raw chicken.

And I was put in charge of pressed ham, like Spam and luncheon meat.

Bang! Bang!

First, we started by taking out the ham we were going to eat.

The general pretended to cover his ears at the repetitive noise.

“It won’t take long, General.”

It was enough to just hit the ham container on the cutting board or tap the bottom of the container a few times with the handle of a cleaver.

“Okay, now let’s look for some other ingredients.”

“Can I help you too?”

“I’m fine!”

It was a welcome sound while I was listening.

Although the range of dishes it can make may be smaller than that of raw chicken… it was a body that had been trained through many years of living in the real world.

Spam is more sincere than anyone else!

“Let’s grab some of the remaining cheese first.”

“How much should I bring?”

A picture of Sheila holding cheese in both hands.

“Hmm. You don’t need too much. I’m just going to put it between the hams. ”

“Then this should be enough.”

“Hmm!”

I nodded a few times and looked for other ingredients.

I also brought eggs and vegetables to accompany the dish, as well as bat eyes, which can be used as a substitute for butter.

I boiled a few eggs and started to crack some others.

First things first! Before you dip the Spam in egg water!

I dipped the wide-cut Spam pieces one by one in the egg water, and made cuts to other Spam pieces in between.

I just set this aside for a moment because I was going to use it in another dish.

“Sheila, can you help me boil an egg?”

“Yes.”

While Sheila was boiling the eggs, I placed the Spam, soaked in the egg liquid, on a pan lined with oiled bat eyes.

The sizzling sound began to tickle my ears.

To that sound, quickly place all the egg-soaked Spam onto the pan!

This brief moment.

I placed in front of me the spam that had been cut into pieces at regular intervals in advance.

Sheila put the cheese she had collected into the gaps of appropriate size.

It was enough to just bake it like this.

“Oops.”

Again my attention turned to the spam war.

When it was cooked to the right degree, I flipped it over, and with the remaining time, I cut the remaining Spam into appropriate cubes.

“…Sheila? I think that’s enough cooking.”

“Yes, just a moment.”

It didn’t have to be half-boiled, but it didn’t have to be overcooked either. Everything in moderation is good.

“Okay, now peel all the eggs for me.”

Sheila began to follow my instructions without even being able to answer.

“Oh, I think it’s okay now.”

I snuck one of the spam wraps and put it straight into my mouth.

***

Since it was just a hot meal, it was just right.

After a few minutes of concentrating on my cooking like that.

I finished four major Spam dishes.

The first is Spam Jeon, well-coated with egg, and the second is Spam Grilled, simply grilled Spam cut into bite-sized pieces.

The third is Spam Accordion, which is Spam baked whole with cheese stuffed between the sheaths!

The fourth is….

“Hmm! Sheila, did you boil the egg well?”

“Really?”

“Okay. This isn’t bad.”

Spam salad with egg whites, tomatoes, Spam pieces and mayonnaise!

Sheila and I carried the finished dish to the table.

“Sylvia, how are you?”

“….”

“What, why aren’t you answering?”

It looks like you’ve been baking something for a while now.

“Oh….”

A chicken cut into pieces and baked well in the oven.

I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration at the sight.

“Ah!’

“Why is that?”

“Should I just give you Midas for the chicken breast?”

Even though it is one of the parts that make up the chicken’s body.

The chicken breast was so dry. Some people like it, but I absolutely hate it.

It was fortunate that the raw chicken had four wings and four legs.

But since it was so deliciously cooked, I felt it would be a bit odd to throw it away, but it seemed like it would be nice to give it to Midas.

“I gave Midas a lot of raw chicken earlier, so it should be okay.”

Sylvia’s thoughts seemed different.

“Eh, but isn’t the breast meat too dry?”

“Flesh has its own unique charm.”

Hmm….

I can understand if you serve it with cheese or put a lot of sauce on it.

“Oh, Sylvia. Do you want to see what Sheila and I cooked?”

“Let’s do that.”

The chicken was nicely baked in the oven.

Sylvia followed us and checked the dishes on the table.

“I guess I have to admit it this time.”

“What?”

“I think Chris cooks better than me.”

“Hehe. Is that so?”

It feels a bit strange to be complimented on a good Spam dish.

“So when are we eating?”

“What, you’re hungry already?”

At my words, the general patted his stomach.

“Well, I think there’s still some chicken left.”

“Let’s eat what’s already finished first. I don’t want to wait for my cooking to get cold.”

“Is that so?!”

At Sylvia’s words, Sheila, Janggun and I immediately started preparing to eat.

Since we couldn’t just eat Spam, we couldn’t leave out our staple food, bread.

***

“General, eat for now.”

I cut a piece of Spam accordion for the general, which is made by grilling Spam whole and putting cheese between the slices.

It’s ham, but it’s also delicious with the added flavor of melted hot cheese!

“Want to eat some celadon?”

“Please give me some too.”

“Hey, if you’re going to eat, eat a lot.”

“Ah.”

He cut it into large pieces the same size as the general.

Unlike the other two, I started eating the Spam salad little by little.

It’s called a salad, but it felt a bit like salad.

‘Either way, you’re going to gain some weight.’

While the three of them were having a small meal at the table.

“Okay, can you all clear the plates?”

Sylvia brought out a large plate of golden-brown roasted chicken.

“Wow, chicken legs look delicious!”

Just by looking at it, you could tell it wasn’t just baked.

According to Sylvia’s description, it is made by adding thinly sliced onions and paprika, and seasoning it well with salt and pepper.

“I’ll eat well. Sylvia.”

“That’s what I wanted to say.”

A heartwarming sight of each other tasting each other’s dishes first.

“Midas is… eating well.”

Midas was still gnawing on the raw chicken I had cut for him.

Okay, then should I eat properly too?

First, Sylvia chose roasted chicken, especially chicken legs.

It was a perfect fit for four people and four legs.

At least in this regard, I felt like I was living well in Magusfall. A chicken with four legs and wings, you know.

“This salad isn’t bad either.”

“Sheila boiled the eggs.”

“Is that so? You cooked it well.”

Sheila seemed secretly pleased with Sylvia and me’s compliments.

“Ah!”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“Come to think of it, we had caviar too.”

“…I guess you can eat that later.”

Is that so?

In fact, the dishes that were available right now were enough to fill the table.

“But it seems like Silla and Janggun have already gotten used to that body.”

When Sylvia asked curiously, Sheila and Janggun nodded.

“I think it’s because I do a lot of hand-drawn drawings.”

“Sheila is cute even in cat form.”

I couldn’t say that General Chama’s giant water general appearance was cute.

It feels a bit wild, but it’s also cool.

So the four of us continued eating, chatting appropriately while also tasting the food in front of us.

Around the time when the amount of food that was abundant had noticeably decreased.

“What.”

“?”

***

Suddenly my body started shivering.

It wasn’t because I was cold or had to pee.

“What is it, Lundne.”

It was because I felt a vibration in my terminal. And the cause of that vibration was Lund’s call.

“Lund, where are you now?”

“This is my association headquarters building.”

“Tetracaine Association?”

“Yeah, I guess my association is one.”

I quickly put down the chicken bone I was holding in my hand.

“It would be nice to eat Lund too!”

“…Chris, I have something urgent to tell you.”

What is it? What’s going on?

For some reason Lund lost his expression and spoke with a serious expression.

“What’s going on?”

“A ceasefire proposal has been made by the Lidocaine Association.”

Huh? Why can’t you just refuse?

I decided to change the location for now.

“Sylvia.”

“Yes, just a moment.”

Sheila and the general finished their meal.

Meanwhile, Midas, who had just finished eating, was about to follow me, so I left him in the living room.

“Midas, here you are.”

“Heeelp.”

“Oh, don’t complain.”

“Midas, stay here for a moment.”

Midas followed Sylvia and me, feeling sad but obedient.

Sylvia and I headed to Sylvia’s room.

I checked with Lund, who was afraid to close the door.

“So what is your proposal?”

“They say they will release your uncle in exchange for ending the conflict between the two forces.”

“Are you talking about Mr. Lund’s uncle?”

“Oh, other than Oleg, another uncle?”

In response to our questions, Lund explained that his uncle had previously been kidnapped by the Lidocaine Association.

By the way, out of the two brothers who belonged to the Procaine Association, one was deceased and the other was an orphan.

A situation where Oleg is the last support of the association.

In this situation, the release of Lund’s uncle, who had been kidnapped by Lidocaine, was a situation that could not be ignored.

“Hmm.”

Wouldn’t Lund and Oleg be in favor of it?

“Lund, what do you think?”

“I want to keep pushing forward, but.”

“Is it because of Oleg?”

“….”

Lund’s silence soon became a sign of affirmation.

“Well, then there’s nothing I can do?”

The ceasefire isn’t a permanent one, you know.

“What does Sylvia think?”

“Even if we have a ceasefire, 1st and 5th place will still be aiming for 2nd place. Even if they don’t directly confront each other, I think the indirect confrontation will continue.”

In fact, we have many collaborators who are enemies of the second place.

“But I don’t think the second place would know that either.”

“I guess you thought it was enough to buy a little time.”

I nodded to Lund’s words.

“First of all, Sylvia and I agree.”

“I didn’t say I agree yet.”

“Chris, there’s one more condition you’ve set.”

“…What is it?”

“That guy wants to meet you.”

eww….

“2nd place is me?”

“Yeah.”

Lund’s expression still didn’t look good. Neither did mine.

“It’s a bit weird to meet the second place person alone.”

“My uncle and I can be together.”

“Ugh, if possible, that would be better.”

Lund seemed surprised that I agreed more easily than he expected.

***

“Well, I got it from Lund, and I’ve met clones and holograms of the second place, but I’ve never met the main body.”

And then I had a great idea to turn the crisis into an opportunity by taking advantage of the meeting with the second place.

“Chris, thank you so much.”

For some reason Lund bowed his head and thanked me.

“What, it doesn’t suit me. I’m fine, so tell Oleg quickly.”

“….”

Communication with Lund has been terminated.

A sudden meeting with the 2nd place. Lund will probably tell you the detailed schedule.

“Chris, are you sure you’re okay?”

“Hey, it’s okay. No matter how strong the second place is, in the end it’s Jinjo.”

Compared to him, I was a blood lord. The only blood lord in this city!

I took out my terminal and called someone.

“Who are you doing this to?”

“Oh my!”

Akaaaima. Cyclops information source.

An unlucky middle-aged woman who won first and fifth place, even though it was against her will.

“Huh? What’s going on?”

A hologram of a Cyclops with large eyes appeared above my terminal.

“Aima, so have you made any progress in finding the mastermind?”

“I’m not sure… but I could probably narrow it down to five.”

“Okay, then just grant me one favor.”

Aima asked me to tell her.

I asked her to convey my intention to speak to the Sage of the North or his representative.

“What?”

“I’m thinking about it all. Can you do it for me?”

“You can do it. Can you do it right now?”

“Okay, if you’re going to do it, do it right now.”

I wish things could go my way.

Even if I, Lund and Oleg were to leave the anti-Lidocaine front…

I didn’t think there was any need to worry about the wise men of the North.
