Chapter 294 – Chapter 294. Cooking Class!
Tweet-
I woke up in bed listening to the birds chirping in the morning.
I thought it was an illusion, but I heard real birds outside the yard.
Looking out the window, it was not our house, but it seemed to be coming from Alice’s mansion right next door.
Yesterday, I must have hugged Nam Da-eun and slept, but since there was no one next to me, it must have happened first.
“Ah. I’m tired.”
As I stretched out of the room, I could smell the fragrant coffee.
It was Nam Da-eun, who was sitting at the table in the living room.
“Good morning.”
“Yeah. Did you sleep well?”
As usual in the morning, Nam Da-eun smiled slightly raising the corner of her mouth.
Whether it was a narrow dormitory or a spacious house, nothing changed.
“Huh…”
Soon, Liliana, who was limp like a zombie, also came out of the room.
She yawned as if she had forgotten how shy she was yesterday and went into the bathroom.
Even if she looks like that, she’s a kid who takes good care of cleanliness.
She blankly sat on the sofa and looked at Liliana, then spoke to Nam Da-eun.
“Ugh, I always hate Mondays.”
“Are you comfortable today?”
Sniffling-
I looked at Nam Da-eun drinking coffee and narrowed her eyes.
Can Monday be comfortable?
“What are you comfortable with?”
“Didn’t you see the group message from the academy?”
“A group message?”
“Yeah. You said you were going to have a shortened class.”
As soon as she heard Nam Da-eun’s words, she checked her smartwatch.
Pile of messages.
She turned off the alarm unless there was a message for the heroine, and she was in this state.
Where the hell did it spread? My number was leaked, so I get too many useless calls, from interview requests to commercial shoots to guild recruiting texts.
“Really?”
There really was a message announcing a shortened class.
Maybe I should change the number and turn on the alarm. You might miss an important message.
“Yes?”
When you are happy with the shortened class.
I saw a message glowing from the top.
This is Professor Im Sol’s message.
Because she sent a message at dawn when she was asleep, she only found it now.
– Professor Im Sol: I’m sorry. I can’t contact you for a while. Thank you so much, I think
“…?”
How busy he was that the meticulous professor even made a typo like this.
I was thinking of calling or sending a message… Since I was busy, I decided to leave it alone for now.
Anyway, before going to France, I was going to say goodbye one last time, so I’ll have to ask myself then.
“By the way, how are you and Dahee going to school when I’m not there for a week?”
I signed the contract for this house in my name, so someday it will be discovered that it belongs to me.
However, it becomes too much of a nuisance when people find out that he lives with Nam Da-eun.
“That’s something I’ve been thinking about.”
Then, Scarlett walked from behind.

Nam Da-eun’s problem was solved surprisingly easily.
Scarlett told me the magic tools used at Alice’s house.
She says that if you have this, you won’t be seen outside when entering or exiting. The effect spread all over the house, so it would be easy with this.
You had such a good magic tool.
It’s large, so I couldn’t use it in the dormitory, but in our house, the only thing left was the yard, so I threw it there.
“The world is so good.”
“Hoyeon-san, what do you mean?”
“Nothing.”
“What is it? In vain.”
The twins Rumi and Lucy, who sit next to each other in class.
Saying goodbye to the cute twins for a week.
“Didn’t you guys say it was Sangvis Guild practice?”
“Um. It was.”
“Hey, it’s going well too.”
The Sangvis Guild only contacted the top ranks among the first year students. It means that Lucy and Rumi are also pretty strong now.
“Hoyeon-san said it was the Iris Guild… I wouldn’t be able to see it for a week if I was abroad.”
“I can’t help it. Rumi. It must be a good opportunity for Lee Ho-yeon.”
“…”
Rumi became sullen, and Lucy comforted her.
Seeing the two of them knowing nothing makes me feel sorry, but I can’t help it.
It was definitely an important opportunity for me.
Lucy, who was patting Rumi, made eye contact with me.
“But… Are you going to say hello before you go? In the club room.”
“I-I’ll be looking forward to it…”
“Yes. Of course not.”
Anyway, you have to meet all the heroines once.
I can’t see you for a week, so of course I should say hello.
… I don’t know how deep that greeting will be.

The morning class is cooking time.
You may wonder what kind of bullshit this is, but unexpectedly, when you go to a place like a dungeon, it is said that it is a necessary ability.
In dungeons or gate expeditions where you don’t know how long it will last, there are many cases where you bring ingredients rather than cooking.
Among subspace artifacts, there are many artifacts that fix time, but among dungeons, there are also places that nullify artifacts. I tend to make simple dishes by taking ingredients that naturally last for a long time.
Of course, it means that the class is unnecessary for someone like Alice, but… But you don’t have to say that in regular class.
All the cadets started cooking while looking at the ingredients in front of them.
Actually, it wasn’t a very serious class.
The guest chef in front of me also told me to rest comfortably before going to practice, so most of them were playful.
Surprisingly, Daeun Nam received a high evaluation.
I made a delicious-looking stew, which best matched the theme of the class and had a beautiful color that made my mouth water.
“… Another cadet is amazing. I think she will make a good bride.”
“Thank you.”
By my standards, which are not outdated in the old world, this is a huge sexist remark, but fortunately, no one was uncomfortable in this world.
It was a world where women and men died without discrimination if they made a mistake, so it must be different from my standards.
As expected, people say that they need to be right to come to their senses, but the background of their growth is so important.
Behind him, he could see Elise staring blankly at her, holding her charred muffin in her hand.
Let’s pretend we don’t know that.
Meanwhile, most of the male cadets around me were in high school.
“Is Lee Ho-yeon good at cooking?”
“Unfortunately, that’s not the case.”
Kim Young-han, who gave up cooking altogether, came up to me and joked around.
I made kimchi stew in moderation.
Originally, male protagonists of this genre should be good at cooking… Unfortunately, there is no such perk.
Still, since I have a track record, I can make a simple kimchi stew.
“…The color seems to be very dark, right?”
“Would you like a bite to eat?”
“I’ve been waiting for that.”
In case there was a problem with the cooking process, Kim Young-han was used as Kimi’s courtier.
Heroin or I should test it before taking it.
Kim Young-han, who scooped it into a bowl with a ladle, put a generous amount of meat into each bite, then nodded.
“Five….”
“Is it good enough to eat?”
How long have I been self-employed?
Kimchi jjigae is a food that cannot be boiled.
Add kimchi, meat, vegetables, water and stir.
How easy.
After savoring her stew, Kim Young-han opened her mouth.
“You really can’t cook dirty.”
“… Okay?”
I ate the kimchi stew with the spoon I had.
Not really. I just want to eat it….
“Hoyeon-san, can I try it too?”
At that time, seeing me depressed, Rumi approached me.
“Of course. You should evaluate it properly. Rumi.”
Okay.
There’s no way a man blinded by jealousy like Kim Young-han could fairly evaluate the taste of my stew.
Our Rumi will evaluate it properly.
“Sigh…”
Gulp.
“Oh, it’s delicious…”
Rumi swallowed her kimchi stew, her eyes trembling.
“…No, is that enough?”
I don’t know one person, but when two people do that, my confidence really goes down.
“Give it to me. I want to try it too.”
Seeing Rumi’s expression harden, Lucy approached.
“You are our last hope, Lucy.”
Yum.
After putting the stew in her mouth, Lucy slightly turned her eyes to look at me.
“Um, um… I don’t think it’s something I can’t do, uh…”
“Let’s just stop.”
The premise was wrong from the start.
If you think about it, there is no reason for me to cook.
It’s okay if someone else does it.
For example, Nam Da-eun, who said she would make a good bride.
Yes, Da-eun can do it.
As I was thinking that, there was a person who came to me across the noisy classroom.
“This was praised by the professor. Would you like a bite?”
“…? Uh, yes.”
Nam Da-eun, standing in front of me, naturally served the stew in my bowl.
It’s like a friendly look you show at home.
With a bewildered expression, I received the stew Nam Da-eun gave me and put it in my mouth.
A stew full of delicious aroma and savory taste. The chewy texture was so satisfying that it was unbelievable that it was a preserved food.
Yum Yum.
“… Really delicious.”
Compared to this stew, my kimchi stew is garbage.
“It’s fortunate. I put in the ones you like.”
Nam Da-eun, smiling as if satisfied with my compliment, took her stew and went back to her original seat.
Then, as if nothing had happened, she started clearing her seat, expressionless.
“You were so close with Nam Da-eun? It’s amazing.”
Other cadets around me were whispering and looking this way, and only Kim Young-han, who was close to me, spoke directly.
“… Yes. In my own way.”
“I don’t think it’s on its own.”
I also couldn’t answer because I couldn’t understand the sudden situation.
He decided not to pretend to be friendly here, but what kind of change of heart did he have?
★ Heroine status window
[Nam Da-eun]
– [ Favorite rating : 100 ] ( + 0.9 )
– [ Sex drive : 70 ]
– [ Appetite : 30 ]
– [ Fatigue : 35 ]
Current Status: Was it a nuisance after all… But I also wanted to try it once in front of others.
“…”
I looked at Nam Da-eun’s status window and smiled.
It would have been nice if you had told me beforehand. I couldn’t resist the urge of the moment. Da Eun-ah
Is it because you fucked me so hard yesterday?
Nam Da-eun also seems to lose her composure sometimes.
In the corner of my field of vision, Elise was staring at me reluctantly. Since he told Alice about living together, that gaze is also somewhat concerned.
“Lee Ho-yeon! Eat mine too!”
“Please eat mine too…”
Lucy and Rumi looked at Nam Da-eun, who had left me with stew, and narrowed her eyes, then held out her food to me with her hands shaking.
Compared to Nam Da-eun’s visual, it seems that she lacks self-confidence, perhaps because she is a lot weaker.
Of course, everything was delicious compared to my kimchi stew.
“…What is it? Why is it so delicious?”
Pretty surprisingly.
Now that I see it, my kimchi stew wasn’t the problem, but the other food was so delicious.
“Really? I’m glad… But when did Nam Da-eun become so close?”
“I should have eaten my fried rice first…”
“…We’ll talk about that later.”
I tried to avoid the gaze of the twins clinging to each other.
“When? Lunchtime?”
But Lucy didn’t give up and grabbed my arm.
“… No. I have work during lunch.”
“Are you in the infirmary?”
“Yes. Go to the infirmary and come and see me.”
“I know.”
Fortunately, Rumi nodded her head, and after seeing Rumi’s reaction, Lucy also let go of her my arm.
“Then I’ll be waiting for you in the club room… You must come.”
“I will also hold my breath until Mr. Hoyeon comes. Breathe.”
Lucy looked up at me cautiously, and Rumi cutely clenched her fists and puffed out her cheeks.
“Don’t worry. I’ll go unconditionally.”
I ate the kimchi stew that I worked hard with a smile at the cute charm.
There is a lot to do.
It’s a waste of time to eat at lunchtime, so I’ll have to take it off with this.
