Chapter 140 – 50 Bowls of Udon
As we expected, as soon as the US confirmed the situation, it immediately clamored to raise the spoon.
The magic conversion technology distributed by Heo Joo-ah was developed by a research institute affiliated with the American Association…
The American association has authorized free distribution of the technology on humanitarian grounds.
“They are smart friends, too.”
“I’m dumbfounded!”
Heo Joo-ah, who was even intercepted by them, was indignant, but honestly, this should be passed on.
Isn’t it true that the technology was developed with money from the American Association?
As an investor, this degree of condescension should be given to me.
Thanks to that, as I prepared to return home with a little peace of mind, the Servants who helped me with this operation greeted me.
“It was an honor to serve you, Master.”
“Yes, yes. Thank you.”
To be honest, it’s a bit of a cocky greeting.
I can’t help it because it’s awkward for them to express their emotions.
Still, after parting in a warm atmosphere and boarding the plane, he headed to Korea without hesitation.
Heo Joo-ah plans to live at the headquarters of the association for the time being.
She asked me several times as if she was still uneasy.
“I’m not going to go back and get sued, right?”
“How? I’m not going to prosecute.”
“Eh, investigator, you’re really selfish…”
“Are you really lucky for Mr. Joo?”
After she returned to Korea safely, she went straight to the head office.
The time was just right, and I didn’t think I’d need to adjust to the jet lag after I had a good rest at the safe house.
After entrusting Mr. Heo Joo-ah to the people of the association, when he went up to report to the president of the association, he let out a painful moan.
Fortunately, thanks to Yeriel, I didn’t hear anything special.
“… You did a good job. You brought the target well. What does Heo Joo-ah want to do?”
“I decided to stay at the association for the time being and be protected. I want to do research again when the atmosphere calms down a bit.”
“That’s good.”
“Since the technology has already been disclosed, please prepare for a patent application as promised. Don’t wire it up because it was brought in with great difficulty.”
Even if it’s a technology that the world knows about…
Patents are applied separately in each country.
In Korea, only Korean patents are effective.
For reference, international patents are not much different.
Although there is such a thing as PCT international patents, this is also the way that the patents are eventually recognized by member countries.
‘The catalyst technology for converting magic power is perfect for patenting.’
Since the catalyst is the key to this technology, you can earn a lot of money if the catalyst’s manufacturing patent is properly recognized.
The president of the association showed a slightly regretful face, but nodded calmly.
In fact, they have no right to complain to me at the point where they couldn’t deal with it themselves.
Isn’t it a cooperative relationship with Green Dust?
“Anyway, it’s fortunate that this time it ended well with no fatalities. Since the launch of the Special Forces, every time I go on a business trip abroad, it’s been a complete mess…”
“It’s good to know.”
Business trips to England and Japan were catastrophic, but this one ended really well.
After the meeting ended quite satisfactorily, I decided to send Yeriel back to her house.
“You go in first.”
“You can’t work overtime today, you know?”
“Does it work for me…”
Tring!
Shortly after the elevator, which was going down rapidly, stopped at the office of the Special Forces.
Tia, who was inside, rushed over and gave me a hug.
“Master, you’re home!”
“… What have you been up to?”
“Why the hell are you reacting like that?”
“Because you did something you didn’t do…”
Alice was waiting for me.
An ambiguous posture, neither sitting down nor standing up.
Due to her personality of her, it was unreasonable to even wish to meet her.
“Didn’t everything go well?”
“Yeah. How was it?”
“Thanks to Yeriel, it ended easily. It even caused a blizzard…”
“Blizzard? What nonsense are you talking about?”
“…”
Seeing that Alice, who can be said to be Yeriel’s closest aide, also reacts in this way, it is certain that she has an ability that she has not shown before.
With this, you don’t have to worry about tracking.
The moment I was so relieved.
Suddenly, Tia, who was flirting with Kerr behind her, suddenly collapsed.
“What, what?”
“Wow!”
The officers in the office immediately used the desk as a shield, wondering what kind of attack it was.
When I hurriedly supported Tia and held up my smartphone, Blanche checked her physical condition.
Of course, in my case, the smartphone itself is special.
[Diagnosing… Shock due to hunger.]
“What?”
[He collapsed from hunger. Please eat.]
No… What does this mean?
The best eater in my office is hypoglycemic shock on an empty stomach?
Alice shoved a plastic bottle of cola into his mouth when I was so full of energy that I couldn’t speak.
Tia, who passed out with her drool dripping, instinctively sucked it up and drank it.
“Pu-hup, whoa… Oh oh, my body is back to life!”
“Alice, did he starve while I was gone?”
“No. You ate better than usual?”
When I asked what was going on, Tia, who had emptied a 1.5 liter plastic bottle in an instant, smiled awkwardly and said,
“Anyway, since my body is a dragon…”
“The weight and volume have changed, but why does the amount of food remain the same? What kind of selective transformation is this?”
“I-I guess so.”
I was very shocked, even though I was very dumbfounded.
I never thought something like this would happen in my office and nowhere else.
He must have been very hungry if he had fainted from shock, but seeing that he hadn’t said anything so far…
I think I gave too much for what I ate so far.
With great regret, I declared an early lunch break.
“Come out. Let’s go to lunch.”
“Eh, where are you?”
“That’s for you to decide.”
“Oh oh!”
Tia’s eyes her, which had been clouded by her shock her, were fully revived.
I hurriedly added before it was too late.
“Oh, no buffet.”
“Uh…Why?”
“You are banned from all buffets around here. Didn’t you know?”
As I was swallowing my saliva, Alice stood by and explained instead.
Tia is quite popular on the Internet, so there was no lack of help in promoting her store her, but …
More than that, it made business difficult.
She’s probably been blacklisted ever since she took an entire plate of the popular dish she just put out.
“Then…”
Usually buffets have a rule to take only enough to eat to prevent such a thing, but…
Tia really takes everything and eats it all!
The boy cried and protested.
“Then why don’t we go to a buffet a little further away?”
“What’s wrong with the buffet staff… Let’s just pay and eat.”
“I like shops where you can eat a lot of different things…”
“Then make a lot of things. There is no limit on the amount today.”
“Really?”
Tia pounded the button on her elevator with great excitement.
There are many restaurants around here that target the association’s employees.
Tia strolled merrily down the street of her restaurant, and then, enchanted by her smell her, entered a cramped shop.
Although it was small, the interior was neat and tidy.
“What is this? Udon? Is udon really okay?”
“It’s okay. Tia is always serious about eating…”
When Alice, who had been arguing against her, saw her price tag her, she was immediately convinced.
Udon.
Along with ramen and soba, it can be said that it is a noodle dish representing Japan.
However, unlike the other two, there is a preconceived notion that udon is not so high-end.
In other words, udon is the true common people’s food.
But that’s the story of Japan across the sea…
Here, in Korea, it seems that they have succeeded in becoming high-end.
Right now, at this store, a bowl of udon costs 10,000 won.
“I’m afraid. Prices in Seoul go crazy, but a bowl of udon costs 10,000 won…”
“Should I change the store after all?”
“No, let’s trust Tia’s nose here.”
It’s because he doesn’t care about cost-effectiveness, the taste is really certain.
Tia sat down very casually, wagging her tail and ordering her udon noodles.
“First, kake udon!”
“Yes! One kake udon!”
“I’m going to go with this duck meat…”
“I’m marbled. He’s the same.”
“Woof woof!”
We placed our order and waited patiently.
The udon that came out was definitely not ordinary.
There was so much tempura crumbs and deep-fried tofu that you couldn’t even see the color of the soup properly.
The main garnish is also large and smells good.
It is certain that he tried to improve himself.
However, 10,000 won for a bowl of udon was a bit too much.
While I was thinking so.
Tia, who ordered the cheapest and most ordinary udon, slurped it down.
Pour the noodles and broth into your mouth at once.
“Mmm! Okay. Next, duck udon!”
“Eh… Oh, one more duck udon!”
“Then no.”
The clerk flinched when I bruised him.
Tia looked at me belatedly, but … She was angry at the words that followed.
“If you’re going to eat more anyway, order in advance.”
“That’s right? Then add beef brisket udon and pork belly udon! Shall we try chicken leg udon too?”
“Ah…”
After looking at Tia’s order list, the clerk belatedly realized her intentions and let out a sigh.
Yes.
The guy was walking straight through the menu board from top to bottom.
It’s fortunate that the menu comes out right after ordering.
“Slurp! Puha… Curry udon and water dumplings!”
“Yes, yes…”
At first, the clerks’ faces, which were admiring, grew more and more frightened.
Alice was so dumbfounded that she even relayed it uncharacteristically from the side.
“Tia player, momentum is not dying!”
“Each Hunter Pet. A clean start. But I don’t think Kerr will be an opponent.”
“Keeing…”
“Hey, I’m kidding. Do you want more?”
“Oh, the curry udon is delicious. Maze udon next!”
“Here, just keep spinning until you say it’s done, and make it.”
“Yes…”
“I’m the happiest hunter pet in the world!”
That day, Tia ate 50 bowls of udon.
