‘Keok! This is ridiculous……!’
It was something that Minhyuk couldn’t believe.
How can comments like that work?
‘No. This is truly ridiculous.’
And this was something that Aruvel agreed on.
“Can you see this? My hair is standing on edge.”
Aruvel showed off the goosebumps that rose on his arms. Meanwhile, Minhyuk thought that they should wait and see.
Rune and Queen Baphomet started the morning with a refreshing drink in the water reservoir before moving forward to eat. They both grazed the grasses on one of the hills in the Demon World. While they were chewing on some grass, Rune turned to her and asked……
“Meeeeeeeeeh? (Do you smell something burning?)”
Minhyuk couldn’t help but get shocked when he heard Kongie’s translation.
‘N, no. Th, that line……’
“Meeeeeeeh? (Something burning?)”
“Meeeeeeeeeh? (It’s because my heart is burning for you.)”
‘Keok……!’
Minhyuk was going crazy. No, perhaps that wasn’t it? He knew that Kongie would play music with Minhyuk’s ‘Music Listening Setting’ every once in a while. For the convenience of the user, a ‘Beam Project’, something that could let you watch TV would often be allowed to be taken to the summoning room. And Kongie had brought it there with him. He wondered what he was using it for but it seemed like Kongie must have brought it there to watch dramas!
However, another unexpected thing happened.
[Queen Baphomet’s satisfaction has increased dramatically.]
[She’s imagining her mating with Rune.]
Minhyuk was left speechless again and again.
The date between Rune and Queen Baphomet continued. They were walking down the streets together when Rune suddenly spoke up.
“Meeeeeeeeeh? (Aaaaack! It’s too bright.)”
“Meeeeeeeeh? (Is it the sun?)”
“Meeeeeeeeeh? (No, it’s your smile.)”
[Queen Baphomet’s satisfaction has increased dramatically.]
[She’s imagining her mating with Rune.]
He got another notification.
Then, they played tag together.
“Meeeeeeeeeh? (Come and catch me~!)”
“Meeeeeeeeeh? (This, this, this~ My lovely and adorable lamb~)”
Just like that, another notification popped up.
[Queen Baphomet’s satisfaction has increased dramatically.]
[She’s imagining her mating with Rune.]
And by the end of the date……
[Queen Baphomet’s satisfaction has increased dramatically.]
[She wants to mate with Rune.]
“Th, this can’t be happening… for real…?”
Minhyuk was shocked. No. He was already doubting his thoughts as of the moment.
Perhaps Kongie is the master of romance?
‘That’s right. After all, I have never been in a relationship in my entire life……’
Then he thought…… If he ever got free of his disease and he finally met someone that he truly loved then he would definitely use the lines: ‘Aaack! It’s too bright. Your smile.’.
Kongie slowly approached Minhyuk before tapping him on the shoulders.
“Oiiink.”
This is the difference between you and me.
Kongie then turned to the two beings who were on a date with a faint yet solemn look. For a moment, he looked like he was a hidden master. He let out a shrug as Queen Baphomet and Rune disappeared from their sights.
***
In fact, Queen Baphomet was embarrassed when he heard Rune’s lines for the first time.
‘To your beautiful eyes, cheers!’
For a split second, she wanted to put his head in the water. However, she had no other choice but to put up with it.
‘I, I also want to feel the touch of a male……!’
It had been 200 years. And in those 200 years, she had never smelled the scent of a male let alone date. This was also caused and influenced by Ankheseramun. She used to tell Queen Baphomet every day that she was noble and pure so it got stuck in her head.
But didn’t she place everything down just to say yes? This was her opportunity. But Rune’s comments became more and more excessive.
‘No, it’s your smile.’
When she heard that line, she wanted to summon Hellfire and throw it at Rune’s face. But she continued to endure it. And she began to imagine it. The very first wonderful night that she would ever have!
That was right. The reason why Minhyuk kept on hearing those favorable notifications whenever Rune’s comments rang loudly was because the image of the beautiful night that she wanted was much more powerful than Rune’s ‘third-rate lines’.
And Rune who came with her to this place……
“Meeeeeeeeeh? (I feel happy just thinking about holding you in my arms.)”
Rune had once again spouted his third-rate line. Then, Rune turned his head as a fresh and bright smile curled on his mouth. However, he suddenly got confused.
“Me, meeeeeh? (What’s that?)”
It was because he saw a whip on Queen Baphomet’s hands. She smiled wickedly as she held the whip with her right hand. She even slapped it on her left hand ominously. This whip looked like it was Queen Baphomet’s ‘Whip of Death’.
“......!!!”
Queen Baphomet took the opportunity when she saw Rune’s shock. She quickly rushed towards him to start their glorious night together.
And in that place……
“Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!”
Baphomet Rune’s screams rang loudly.
***
Minhyuk turned to look at Queen Baphomet and Rune. Rune was all red and shy, perhaps it was because they spent their night enthusiastically together. Rune was even startled when Queen Baphomet shamelessly pushed her body into him.
“Huh?”
Minhyuk couldn’t help but tilt his head in confusion.
“Meeeeeeeeeh? (What’s wrong with you?)”
Queen Baphomet had spoken those words when she saw Minhyuk tilt his head. However, Rune could clearly see a different meaning. The hidden meaning behind those words.
‘Hey. Smile. Pretend that you had fun.’
“Me, meeeeeeeh……”
Rune flashed an awkward smile towards his owner, Minhyuk.
Meanwhile, after Rune had mated with Queen Baphomet yesterday, he had achieved a remarkable 1st class growth.
Then, Minhyuk approached Ankheseramun. The notifications rang when he stood in front of her.
[You have completed the Quest: Plan a Date Course for Him and Her with 100% satisfaction.]
[You can now receive Queen Baphomet’s Fresh Milk.]
[You can now receive the Demon World’s Fantastic Seasoned Tripe, Chitterlings and Beef Chitterlings.]
[You can now receive 1 fragment of the Golden Crown.]
[You can now view the video: Birth of the Incarnation of Gluttony (2).]
At the order of Ankheseramun, a few demons handed Minhyuk’s rewards to him. The first item that he received was Queen Baphomet’s fresh milk. Upon consumption of the milk the person’s magi stat would increase by 200 together with a 20 points increase in STR and AGI.
Then, the seasoned tripe and chitterlings hat he was looking forward to came out. However, it did not end there.
Ankheseramun received a signal from Queen Baphomet. It seemed like Queen Baphomet was truly satisfied. Then, a thought flashed in Ankheseramun’s head.
She’s the same Queen Baphomet that stayed with me for 200 years but I was only made aware of her loneliness today. It seemed like I had been too complacent.
Considering the fact that other creatures would also experience this, she realized that loneliness was only a matter of course. So she tried to give additional rewards to the human who had solved this problem of hers.
Unlike the combat race, the peaceful race had similar core values with humans. Although they were reluctant to wage war and fight against other races, they would still fight if necessary. And they also knew how to repay those who had helped them albeit occasionally.
And just like that, Ankheseramun gave Minhyuk a gopchang hot pot as an additional reward.
[You have acquired Gopchang (Large) Hot Pot.]
“......!”
Minhyuk was both in awe and admiration. He felt truly grateful to Ankheseramun.
“The fragment of the golden crown is a rare item that has been handed down by our ancestors. According to our ancestors, this was entrusted to us by the divine beasts. And this was an item that contained a very strong power. However, I was also told that this power can only be used by its true owner.”
Minhyuk nodded his head when he heard Ankheseramun’s words.
But before he could use the fragment of the golden crown on Kongie, there was still something that he needed to do, right?
“Can I go out for a while?”
“......?”
Ankheseramun tilted her head at him as Minhyuk disappeared in front of her. It seemed like there was something really urgent that he needed to do.
‘It must have been really urgent. I wonder what it is that he needed to do?’
She was quite interested in the fragment of the golden crown. But right now, the man seemed to be more interested in something else.
***
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle?
The sizzling sound from a grill resounded in the area. In front of Minhyuk was a stone grill layered with seasoned tripes, chitterlings and beef chitterlings. The chitterling’s oil made the grill sizzle as the sliced onions, chives and garlic were being cooked together.
Gulp?
It was truly a combination that could make anyone drool.
Minhyuk had also made sure to prepare the most basic combination on the table in front of him. On the table was a sauce made with bean powder, mayonnaise and gochujang. And not only was there that sauce, there was also a bright red gochujang together with some seasonings and chojang. He also made sure to place some perilla leaves, lettuce, ssamjang and raw garlic on the table.
While the tripes and chitterlings were grilling, he lifted a piece of heart from the grill. The oil on the surface of the heart was sizzling hot. He quickly blew on it before dipping it in sesame oil and salt. Then, he took the piece to his mouth. He couldn’t help but be amazed at the savory scent of the sesame oil as well as the salty taste of the heart that spread in his mouth.
‘This is the flavor. This is the taste!’
He laughed happily as he ate a few more pieces of the heart. As he continued to eat the heart, the other things on the grill started to get cooked. Although it was called gopchang, it was divided into makchang. daechang, and other parts. It would also taste differently depending on what part one was eating. The texture of each part was also different.
The first thing that he picked up was the makchang. Then, he dipped the piece, which was empty in the middle, in the sauce made from mayonnaise and gochujang before putting it in his mouth. The light and soft flavor of the mayonnaise combined perfectly with the gochujang’s spicy flavor. The perfect harmony of the sauce added a great flair to the chewy texture of the makchang.
Chew, chew?
After eating the makchang, he extended his chopsticks towards the daechang. Compared to makchang, daechang was longer and it was filled with white fat inside. As soon as he bit on it, the fat spread in his mouth making him feel both the hotness and the smoothness of the daechang.
His mouth was easily filled and coated with oil. Then, he went ahead and clamped some seasoned tripe with his chopsticks. He also picked up some chives to go along with it before putting it in his mouth.
“Hooo. Delicious!”
He clamped another piece of tripe. This time, he dipped the tripe in bean powder before eating. The savory flavor of the bean powder easily catched and complemented the spicy flavor of the tripe.
After he finished eating the tripes, he quickly picked up his spoon as he scooped some of the gopchang hot pot.
Boil, boil, boil?
The boiling soup from the gopchang hotpot was also filled with perilla leaves. Something that Minhyuk truly liked.
A smile couldn’t help but spread out in his mouth when he tasted the gopchang hotpot. He quickly picked some gopchang before dipping it in the same sauce from earlier.
After tasting and eating most of the gopchang from the hotpot, he quickly added some kalguksu noodles in the soup. He quickly scooped up the kalguksu after cooking it and transferred it to a plate. And just like that, he began to eat noodles that were cooked in the soup of the local specialty, gopchang hotpot.
“Sluuuuuuuuurp!”
The chewy and spicy flavor that permeated the noodles was just like a perfect work of art.
After eating everything. He turned towards the final highlight. It was none other than fried rice.
Sometimes, when one visited a gopchang restaurant, they would see a ‘Self Egg Frying Corner’. Whenever Minhyuk visited that restaurant in the past, he would always make sure to fry an egg and place it on top of his fried rice.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle?
The seaweed that he sprinkled over the flattened fried rice danced from the heat. Minhyuk even added three fried eggs on top of it. Then, he quickly poked the top of the yolk of the egg in the middle. The yolk easily burst out and flowed down the rice.
“Wow…… This is like art itself.”
Minhyuk quickly cut a portion of the egg as he scooped a spoonful of fried rice before placing it in his mouth. The combination of the fried rice, egg and gopchang created an extremely fantastic flavor in his mouth.
Scratch, scratch, scratch?
The sound of someone scratching the bottom of the pan rang loudly. Minhyuk scratched the pan and made sure to get every last piece of fried rice in his mouth.
“So happy~”
Then, he placed a piece of kimchi on top of the spoonful of fried rice before taking a big bite.
“Hehehe.”
Whenever his throat felt thirsty and dry, he would hold up a bowl of cold dongchimi soup and take a sip.
Before he realized it, he had already finished everything in front of him. He couldn’t help but look at the empty bowls and plates with a huge smile on his face.
[You have eaten the Demon World’s Seasoned Tripe and Chitterlings.]
[The Food God’s Greatness.]
[The penalty for the medicine has been ignored. However, this does not work for many people.]
[A Medicine Dish. You have obtained additional stats.]
[Magi +230, STR +25, AGI+24.]
Smiling at the notifications, Minhyuk finally wrapped up his food party by drinking some cider to wash his mouth.
Originally, gopchang should be enjoyed with a shot of soju but he did not do so since he still had things to confirm and check. And that was the Birth of the Incarnation of Gluttony video (2).
Minhyuk wanted to check it immediately. And just like before, Minhyuk’s soul escaped from his body as the second video started to play.

Notes
[Tripes and Chitterlings] - actually this was a tripe and entrails. Basically the organs inside of a pig. Idk if you guys eat that but we also eat them from here. That’s why they said that you can eat almost every part of the pig. They’re quite delicious. So basically it’s not just some tripe and chitterling (intestine). It’s tripe and all the other organ that you can eat in a pig. Including the heart and the liver.
[??] Gopchang - intestines. Usually the cow’s small intestine or the pig’s large intestine.
[??] Makchang - abomasum. A part of the cow’s rectum.
[??] Daechang - large intestine. Another term for gopchang. An offal.
[??? ??] Kalguksu sari - kalguksu noodles. Chopped noodles.
