Chapter 66 – 66.Field Boss (2)
***
Having a hobby is also a necessary thing in life.
If you are stuck in a depressing reality, a truth that is difficult to face, or a frustrating situation, hobbies serve as a lubricant for your life.
It relieves stress, gives motivation to live, and helps you overcome stress.
And I also have a hobby.
To put it representatively, the character I used most while attending the academy.
Pamela, Yeonhwa, Adelia. And in Valendia, one of my hobbies is appreciating Sasha.
All four of them are wearing clothes that are very desirable from a man’s perspective, so just meeting them and talking to them is a treat for the eyes, and as a user who spent my youth on Rupan, I am happy to meet them every day .
Well, it’s nice to meet Atsubal, but I don’t really appreciate it.
Because he’s a male.
But you can’t narrow down your hobbies to just one.
Nourishing the eyes is nourishing the eyes.
Besides that, you must have other hobbies in this world that you can enjoy.
And I have that hobby.
Gourmet food.
In other words, it can be called a gastronomic tour.
In Rupan, there were many dishes that could be sold in real life even though they did not fit the times, from the question of whether it would be possible to realize it in reality.
Even if it’s food that’s a bit far from the game.
Anyway, food.
Unless there is an error such as selling hamburgers in Luong, a Chinese-style country, or sushi as the main dish in Tonk Tree, a steampunk-style country with no sea nearby, if a dish that fits the culture is presented, users will notice detailed errors or abnormalities. Ham didn’t care.
Rupan had many types of dishes, and even though it was just an image, there were many dishes that looked delicious.
Especially when I look at the images of dishes that appear in cooking contest events, I get curious about what they taste like.
And now I’m in the world of Rupan and can taste the food in the game.
After tasting food like poison bore steak, eating mapo tofu at a Luong Pung restaurant, and even eating cookies at a cafe in Valendia, I realized one thing.
Ah, this is a world that is serious about creating the ‘taste’ of cuisine.
First of all, no matter what the dish is, it is delicious.
I would say you can feel the spirit of craftsmanship.
Not inferior to the food eaten in modern times. No, it tastes even better than that.
To be honest, it may be because of my taste buds that I mainly ate convenience store food because I was too lazy to play games, but convenience store food is also modern in its own way.
To put it more simply, these are foods that think about ‘taste’ and not about health.
As long as it tastes good, it doesn’t matter how much sugar you put in it or how much meat you put in it. All you need is taste.
Health takes a backseat.
The formula that high calories = taste is being welcomed.
That’s why it’s delicious.
It was a taste that felt that way.
The taste is even more intense for me, who is used to eating convenience store food that is always consistent and can’t be said to be super delicious.
That’s how I acquired the hobby of food in this world.
Yesterday, I asked Pamela, who had classes in the morning, to go to her her academy her her her alone her first thing.
“Uh, why?”
“Tomorrow, I’m going to wake up early and buy a limited quantity of strawberry cake at the snack shop in front of me. After that, I’ll get a hot apple pie and croissant at the bakery, and then at the cafe. …”
“Ah… Yes.”
Even though I didn’t have to hear everything, Pamela, who knew about my foodie hobby, immediately understood.
And early this morning, I shopped for enough food for even the club members to eat together, then headed to the academy clubroom.
Today, Pamela, Yeonhwa, and Atsubal all have classes to take in the morning, so they are all alone.
It was a bit late in the morning after I bought all the items I wanted, but there is something special about spending leisurely time alone in the remaining room.
The moment you pick up a piece of apple pie and try to put it in your mouth.
Bang!
“Everyone, listen! Information about the newly rampaging monster…”
“Ah.”
Adelia came in.
“It’s delicious.”
“This cake is sold in limited quantities per day. I stood in line early this morning to buy it.”
Amelia also suggested it and we ate the dessert I brought with us.
From what I heard, it looks like Adelia hasn’t had breakfast yet either.
“Now that I think about it, the newly rampaged monster said something. What is it?”
“Oh, that’s… I’ll tell you after the other members return.”
“I understand. Oh, try these cookies too. It will taste better if you take a sip of the juice first and then eat it.”
“Okay.”
Although she answers in a blunt tone, I can see Adelia’s eyes sparkling every time she puts a cake or cookie to her mouth.
It is also written in her profile that Adelia likes sweets.
And the love for sweets becomes even more evident in the event story that takes place after Chapter 1 of the main story.
The thought of seeing something like that in advance makes me feel like I’ve benefited.
There is still at least another hour before other members come in.
In other words, it will be just me and Adelia in the clubroom until then.
As she was thinking about how to kill time, a thought occurred to her.
Yes, she asked what she always wanted to ask.
Even things like awkwardness in conversation can be overcome with the penetrative snout technique.
Let’s ask boldly.
Last time, in the presence of Yeonhwa, Pamela, and Sasha, I asked them why they wore such revealing clothes.
Then, let’s ask Adelia in a different direction.
“Adelia. “I want to ask you something.”
“Hmm? What is it?”
Adelia, who was gurgling and drinking fruit juice from a cup, looked at me.
“I recently learned that women wear revealing clothes for the efficiency of magical recovery.”
“Recently… “Did you find out?”
“Until then, I had spent my days training to sharpen my skills rather than my skills, so I had no time to worry about such things.”
That’s the setting.
“I see. So what happened?”
Adelia looks like she honestly doesn’t know.
Adelia is a character who is blunt but has a bit of natural talent.
That said, she often appears a bit dazed.
“For the efficiency of recovering magic power, we wear revealing clothes. I could understand it up to this point. But recently, a new question has arisen.”
I asked Adelia seriously.
“Isn’t it cold?”
“… Phew.”
After a moment of silence, Adelia let out a small squirt.
“Puhp. Ugh, was that something you were curious about? Puhp.”
I guess my question was funny to Adelia.
“Was it a funny question?”
“No, that’s not it. It’s a bit… Puzzling to ask such a question with such a serious expression. I’m sorry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about.” I think this is a sensitive question for women, but I couldn’t resist my curiosity and had to ask.”
“It’s a sensitive question… I don’t think it’s particularly sensitive.”
“Is that so? That’s a good thing. So, what do you think? It’s not cold?”
If you look at subculture games, you can see that there is a common theme among users.
I asked Adelia, “Are you not cold even though you’re wearing such ugly, skimpy clothes?”
“You might think it’s definitely cold on the outside. But there’s no need to worry.”
Adelia smiled and patted her own chest.
“In my case, my clothes are enchanted to keep me from getting cold. So that I can withstand a certain amount of cold.”
“Magic? There was all that magic.”
“It is a magic that is used surprisingly often. It can be said to be an application of magic to control the temperature so that food does not spoil. The same magic will be used on Shu Yeon-hwa and Pamela’s clothes.”
“I see. Thank you for letting me know.”
“Why have this much?”
Adelia smiled lightly at me, who was satisfied that her existing concerns had been resolved, and then she brought up a topic I had never thought of.
“So don’t worry, the cold doesn’t make these outfits uncomfortable. Rather…Yeah, the embarrassment she felt when she first wore them was more annoying.”
“Shame?”
The word shame mentioned directly by a very exposed female character.
This was a theme that I had no choice but to focus on.
“Yes, as you can see.”
Adelia pulled her hand and patted the side of her chest.
“It’s because I’m showing off my skin like this. Especially on the lower part, my thighs are all exposed. I was also embarrassed until I got used to this outfit.”
I am now hearing a very precious story.
“That’s right. I thought it would be okay from the beginning.”
“Is that possible? It’s all embarrassing at first. But once I got used to it, it didn’t bother me. People around me got used to my clothes, so I didn’t focus on them that much. Well, I can feel the stares, but once I get used to it, it doesn’t really bother me.”〈 Br〉
“Is that such a law?”
“That’s the way it is. Rather than being shy, it’s more important to increase magic recovery efficiency to be more helpful in battle and increase survival rate.”
Really.
I could say it was a very good attitude.
She heard good words and suggestions, so she thanked Adelia with all her heart.
“Thank you. It must have been a sensitive topic to talk about.”
“No, it’s okay. If you think about it, it was probably a natural question. But… No way, Sihan Lee. I didn’t know you would have such a question. I didn’t think you would be particularly interested.”
“Even if I see it every day, as a man, it still bothers me. It just makes me question it.”
“I still find it surprising that you care about me as a man.”
“Does it feel strange? To be honest, I’m still trying to avoid being rude and not drawing attention as much as possible.”
“What?”
“As you said yourself, Adelia, your outfit is also quite provocative to men. It goes well with your appearance and is very eye-catching, but you are careful not to be rude.”
[Numerical resistance has been penetrated.]
[Passed through praise tolerance.]
Oh, I didn’t mean to say the numbers.
“… Lee Sihan.”
Adelia’s face turned slightly red.
“It’s true that I’ve gotten used to this outfit and other people’s attention. But… If you say it so bluntly, I guess I’m getting on my nerves too.”
“I’m sorry.”
Adelia stretched out her palm.
“No, it’s okay. Anyway, that’s it. It’s a compliment that I also have feminine charms… Yes, I take it as a compliment.”
Judging from her notification sound, it seemed like Adelia was embarrassed but also happy about what I said.
Adelia is so embarrassed.
This is very precious.
After about 10 minutes of her talking calmly over her dessert again, Adelia’s shyness subsided and she calmed down as usual.
“Adelia, are there any inconveniences at Portis?”
As the manager, I decided to investigate the complaints of group members.
“Any inconveniences? Nothing in particular. Everyone is so kind and accommodating to my request that I actually feel sorry. Ah, there is one thing to reflect on.”
“Something to reflect on?”
Adelia held her right shoulder with her left arm and turned her right arm.
“In addition to my usual training, I was out most of the time for the past two weeks, dealing with runaway monsters, so my body felt stiff here and there. I never thought my body would be this stiff. I felt like my training was still lacking.”
Stiffness.
When she heard those words, a very good idea occurred to her.
“Adelia, then I will solve your stiffness.”
“What?”
“Leave it to me. I will take care of all the stiffness in your body with my hands.”
