#466. What mess is this?
* * *
The next morning.
With Yuna-kyung on top of her head.
Limon fell asleep in the rocking chair.
What opened his eyes was the scent that flowed from somewhere.
“Hmm?”
Limon opened his closed eyes at the pleasant smell that naturally permeated his slumbering consciousness.
And quietly rose from the rocking chair.
Is it because of the slow movement?
As if not even feeling the vibration,
Limon followed the scent as it was with Yuna-gyeong, who was sleeping soundly in a curled up position, on top of her head.
After leaving the living room, which was cleaned until late at night.
Waving one hand and saying hello to the unmanned vacuum cleaner that has been wiping the dust since morning.
When you get to the source of the smell.
What greeted him was a dinner set on the table, to be precise.
A clear consommé soup like a lake.
Biscuits with shrimp meat swimming in them.
Salad that spreads out.
Pigeon legs planted like a forest.
A steak as thick as a rocky mountain.
Other items include pyramid cake, moon egg tart, mushroom garden, and finger pizza.
It is rather art rather than food that fills the wide dining table.
It was a culinary art museum that was exquisitely and beautifully decorated like a picture while all of them were delicious.
“I was going to shake the paper, but you really smell it like a hunting dog.”
Beyond that table.
Blonde beauty from the kitchen.
Charlotte opened her mouth languidly.
Then, with a flick of his finger, he floated through the air and put the last plate on the table.
“…is this all your boss’s handiwork?”
“Who would cook like this if not me.”
“I’m surprised that the boss knows how to cook.”
Limon’s point was natural.
The princess of the Seven Dragons, who is the richest person in the world and is always served by her aides, is Yori.
It was a story that didn’t fit as much as the farming queen.
But Charlotte dismissed the point with a snort.
Then, with arms crossed, he stood next to the seat of honor at the table he had prepared and spoke proudly.
“That is a foolish word. There is no way there is anything I can’t do.”
“Oh yeah?”
It was when Limon burst out laughing at her words that sounded like the Golden Dragon Princess.
Yuna-kyung, who was fast asleep on top of him, tossed and turned.
[Ha-ung, something smells good…]
“Are you awake now?”
[Good morning to you.]
It took a while for Booth to get up and yawn.
Yu Na-gyeong looked around, wondering what the smell was, and opened her eyes wide at the dinner that was unfolding in front of her.
[wow! What kind of delicacy is this?]
“This is a breakfast prepared by our boss himself.”
[Are you rich sister?! this one? Really???]
“Everyone makes a lot of fuss.”
[It’s worth making a fuss! What is this great dish? I don’t think the course dishes at the Leviathan Hotel were like this.]
Yuna-kyung continued to admire.
Thanks to following Limon, I saw and ate all kinds of food from all over the world.
Because it was the first time I had such a beautiful feast.
However, even after hearing her praise, Charlotte did not show any signs of joy.
It is natural to hear admiration.
It seems boring because I’m used to it.
I just put on a bored expression.
Limon looked at her like that and made a strange expression.
“There are some dishes that take quite a while, but haven’t you had enough sleep to prepare them from dawn?”
“I didn’t specifically do it for you. I just did it myself because I thought there would be no food that would suit my taste in such a shabby city.”
“Then should I be thankful for the shabby city?”
Limon, who was about to sit down, hesitated.
Then he looked at Charlotte and smiled, then went over to her side and politely pulled out a chair and said one more thing.
“Of course, I should be more grateful to the boss.”
“Heung, you’re good at one flattery.”
“Isn’t it the duty of a member of society to be loyal to the water owner?”
“The words in your mouth are enough, so hurry up and eat.”
“Well, it’s a long-awaited meal that the boss carefully prepared, but it’s a waste if it cools down.”
Limon chuckled and sat down in his seat.
Then, I lifted a spoon and first lightly tasted the consommé soup.
Rich flavor in one bite.
Deep umami in both mouths.
At the end, a neat throat-pass.
‘It’s not as plausible as it looks.’
After nodding once at the exquisite taste that is hard to taste at any first-class restaurant.
Limon grabbed his fork and knife and continued eating.
The way he ate the food without making a sound was neat and skillful.
Likewise, Charlotte’s appearance is elegant and perfect.
The action of slicing the ornately decorated food, dipping it with a fork, and gently pushing it between the red lips seemed to be an art rather than a meal.
So, of course, the two of them had a quiet meal.
But not everyone knew how to eat quietly.
[Um uh, manager! Please give me that too. Ah, if that’s the case, that one too!]
Aguagu pok-kok gulp.
In the end, the meal proceeded quite loudly because of Yuna-kyung, who was eating while talking about a few people alone.
However, Limon and Charlotte did not care about Yuna-kyung’s fuss.
Limon seems familiar.
Charlotte is indifferent.
I just continued eating.
[Whoa, it’s really delicious. It’s as delicious as anything made with Dagda’s cauldron.]
…That means it was until Yun Na-kyung casually said that.
click.
That was the moment.
Charlotte, who had been eating elegantly so far, stopped her hands and made the first sound of dishes hitting dishes.
Deep sunken golden eyes.
The gaze toward Yuna-kyung.
When the blue bird, which had stopped munching at that gaze that contained a strange sense of pressure, was frozen.
damn
[Kyaauk!]
Yuna-kyung, who was slapped on the forehead by Limon’s finger, fell backwards.
“Is it rude to compare the chef’s carefully prepared dishes with those made with magic? this guy.”
[Ah, I said it with the intention of complimenting it.]
“A compliment is a law that the listener should feel good, not the person saying it.”
Limon took a piece of bread.
Then he swallowed it in one bite and laughed.
“Above all, the boss said, right? It’s okay with the words in your mouth, so just eat.”
She is a member of the Golden Dragon clan.
never know lies
They are sincere in everything they say.
So instead of trivial words, eating delicious food is the best compliment to Charlotte’s food skills.
Charlotte looked at Limon, who spoke calmly, and lazily opened her mouth again, moving the knife.
“Today, I couldn’t show my skills because I lacked food ingredients and kitchen equipment.”
“Oh yeah? Then you can look forward to more delicious dishes next time.”
“Hey, do you think I’m your exclusive chef?”
“Of course not. But aren’t you a boss with no self-respect enough to let the employees you hire starve to death?”
“I gave you a piece of meat, and it looks like a hunting dog that will try to eat even its owner.”
Speaking gracefully and sarcastically.
But without denying Limon’s words.
Charlotte continued her meal with such a haughty smile on her face.
* * *
After a brief breakfast.
They headed to the same place as yesterday.
[Are you here today too…]
“Originally, steady management is important for things like this.”
Limon shrugged.
He must have given out all the useful information yesterday, but there wasn’t much useful at all.
Still, if word spreads that they are constantly entering the bar and buying information at high prices, there will be people from other places.
So, it was well worth the short walk.
“First of all, I have to finish tidying up the house, so I’m going to simply check it out today. I have to buy some of the things I lack.”
[What was lacking?]
“You don’t even have a cage to sleep in right now.”
[Even if I don’t have one, I have a place to sleep.]
“I’m asking for confirmation, but you’re thinking of my head as your exclusive nest, aren’t you?”
[yes? Wasn’t it?]
“….”
Yuna-kyung opened her eyes wide on the unmanned vacuum cleaner.
Seeing her, Limon was thinking about whether or not to snap his fingers.
said Charlotte languidly.
“Don’t forget the kitchen equipment and ingredients.”
“Well, if the boss wants it, of course I’m going to have it. What exactly do you need?”
“Right now, a vacuum low-temperature cooker, a micro-fine whisker, a siphon vacuum cooker, a distiller, and a freeze dryer are all you need.”
“…Boss, are you thinking of turning our kitchen into a laboratory?”
It seems that his pride was hurt by being compared to his cooking skills.
Looking at Charlotte, who seemed determined to show off her real skills this time around, Limon scratched his cheek.
The horse was mass-produced with magic, and the dish made with Dagda’s cauldron is a 100% reproduction of the food Limon and Shire ate.
It has been the essence of all mountain and sea delicacies created by mankind for thousands of years.
A battle of pride with Dagda’s cauldron.
It was an act close to recklessness that would normally be called foolishness, but
…
Limon decided to just add expensive cookware to his shopping list.
Not only was there no way Charlotte could compromise on issues related to pride, but there was no reason to stop her from buying it with her money anyway.
I wondered if she would be able to cook a dish that would surpass Dagda’s cauldron.
But before entering the bar.
Limon hesitated.
Then, after squinting her eyes and looking inside, she slowly opened the door.
Sigh.
[…What kind of mess is this?]
A tower of wine bottles.
An overturned table.
vomit on the floor.
A woman’s underwear hanging on the wall.
Yu Na-kyung put on an absurd expression when she saw that the pub, which was not clean enough, had gone bankrupt.
“That’s what happens when you give gunfighters big bucks.”
Limon wasn’t surprised.
Since he had a pupil named Geomrang, he had a rough idea of how the gunslingers who earned that much money yesterday would use it.
Still, there are two reasons why he hesitated before Limon came in.
[But why can’t I see people?]
One was an overly bleak landscape.
Normally, in a show like this, there would be a few gunslingers hanging from the ceiling or lying on tables drunk.
The only thing left is one hour.
Because no one could ever be found.
And the other…
“I have to admit you’re a pretty good hound indeed.”
“Don’t rush to conclusions, sir. It’s not yet decided if I’ve got it right or not.”
“Isn’t it better than no reaction at all?”
“It depends on the outcome.”
[…Hey, I want to join the conversation too, right? So please stop talking about what only the two of you know and can you explain?]
“It’s a simple story.”
Limon frowned slightly.
Charlotte put on an interesting expression.
When Yuna-kyung gets upset when she sees the two of them talking to each other.
Limon moved his hand.
“I was fishing, and the fish came running to the pail with its feet.”
[Yes?]
The moment Yuna-kyung blinked at the meaningless words.
Taaang!
A loud gunshot rang out.
A single ray of sword light flashes.
The bullet that had been flying at Charlotte ricocheted backwards and smashed the muzzle protruding from the counter.
But that was only the beginning…
Clap Clap Clap!
A thick iron door came down at the entrance they had just entered.
In a display case where bottles are displayed.
On the floor under an overturned table.
In the gap between the mechanical parts hanging on the wall.
The moment when the muzzles of heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and flamethrowers protruding from all over the place spewed fire all at once.
Kwakwagwagwang!
The entire seat where Limon and Charlotte were standing was covered with heat and roar.
