Chapter 207

Episode 207 Cooking Contest (2)

“I knew that! Yong-yong… You recognized me…! The true value of my cooking…!!”

Kim Yoo-jung said that while hugging Poppy with her eyes widened.

In the meantime, Papi was enjoying Kim Yoo-jung’s cooking.

It was a truly shocking sight.

“…I can’t believe it…”

Seo Ina looked at Papi and Kim Yoojung alternately with a bewildered expression.

That your dish was rejected…?

Her hands were shaking as if her pride had been scratched in this unprecedented situation.

Jaehyun was equally shocked.

‘My dish that even my mother doesn’t eat. On top of that, eating Kim Yoo-jung’s dish, which causes fainting or more, and pushing away this girl?

…It’s probably not a proper tongue.’

The dragon’s sense of taste was much more shocking than he thought.

As if Jaehyun couldn’t help it, he announced the winner of the cooking contest.

“Kim Yoo-jung… You seem to be number one.”

The other party gathered in disbelief and looked at the dishes made by Kim Yoo-jung.

It was a stew made with seafood and various vegetables purchased nearby, and it was purple, just like her dish.

Ahn Ho-yeon and Kwon So-yul and Lee Jae-sang’s expressions turned blue.

“Yoo-jung, you seem to have a clear identity of the food…”

Kwon So-yul said and hurriedly poured the various stomach-protective and digestive medicines he had just bought into his mouth.

All kinds of medicines were lined up on the table. It seemed that he had bought everything, as if his worries had not gone away.

Still, when I saw that it was tailored to the number of people, I thought there was a warm corner.

As a token of gratitude, Jaehyun accepted the envelope Kwon Soyul was holding.

“Thank you for taking care of us all like this, afraid we might collapse…”

“What are you talking about?”

Kwon So-yul frowned in anger. There was irritation in her voice.

“I will eat all of this.”

“…All of this?”

“You have to live to see the sunrise tomorrow. I would have said it before. It’s too early for me to die.”

“…….”

Jaehyun was at a loss for words.

It seemed that her anxiety had been amplified by the fact that she had said that they would share the food they made together after the cooking contest was over.

She was seriously contemplating whether she should go back and do gastric lavage.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Eat first.”

However, there was no such thing as Jaehyun overturning his choice.

After all, he had devised a way to resist the terrible cuisine.

Tasting Kim Yoo-jung and her own cooking can be a bit(?) harsh for others, but for now, she puts her life first.

There were times when Jaehyun became selfish, and one of them was now.

“I’ll have to try the Ina dish first.”

Ahn Ho-yeon, Kwon So-yul, and Jae-hyun ate a spoonful of Seo E-na’s dish first.

The dish she made was budaejjigae.

For Koreans who had almost lost their spiciness for 4 nights and 5 days, the effect of budaejjigae was amazing.

“…This is it. Taste of Korea…!”

Ahn Ho-yeon admired.

Kwon So-yul and Lee Jae-sang continued to stuff something into their stomachs, making a fuss that this might be their last supper.

Jaehyun was also enjoying Seo Eana’s food.

‘As expected, Ina’s cuisine is amazing.’

Thinking so, I ate budaejjigae.

Seo Ina suddenly smiled at Jaehyun.

‘…You look great.’

Thinking so, Seo Ina sat down at the table and stared blankly at Jaehyun with her chin resting on her chin.

After eating all the first dishes like that.

Next were Ahn Ho-yeon and Kwon So-yul’s dishes. The two of them were actually quite good, so there was no big problem eating them.

Lee Jae-sang’s tteokgalbi was unexpectedly delicious, and favorable comments continued.

The problem was next.

“eat.”

Click.

Jaehyun said as he set his dish down in front of his colleagues.

It was clean except for the two mouthfuls Poppy had just eaten.

“Wait a minute, Jaehyun. I need to prepare my mind a bit from here…”

Ahn Ho-yeon was frightened, and Kwon So-yul and Lee Jae-sang also nodded from behind.

However, Jaehyun never changed his words.

“eat.”

“Are the kids freaking out if you can’t cook?”

At that time, a triumphant voice came from Kim Yoo-jung.

Jaehyun was dumbfounded and lightly pushed her forehead.

“This is real. Poppy’s taste is a bit unique(?), so I like it. Isn’t it because you’re good at it?”

For some reason, Kim Yu-jung felt her face heat up at Jae-hyun’s sudden action.

She fanned her hands and turned around.

“Then why don’t you try your food first? So that the children can be at ease.”

The story of Kim Yoo-jung, who stammered strangely, made Jae-hyun worry.

It was because he knew that unlike Kim Yoo-jung, his cooking was tasteless.

But soon, the worry disappeared like snow.

‘With this, at least I won’t have to suffer from food.’

Jaehyun laughed and secretly activated a skill.

―Active skill 《Cold-blooded》 is activated.

―The user temporarily does not feel emotions.

―The user’s senses are temporarily dulled.

cold blooded.

In addition to getting rid of emotions, the skill obtained after the battle with Juwon in the past had the effect of blurring the senses.

The fact that it also has the effect of paralyzing the sense of taste was tested in advance. Also, this is the definite hand that Jaehyun believes in.

Jaehyun showed off his skill and put his food in his mouth in front of his colleagues.

As expected, there was no taste at the tip of his tongue.

He clenched his fists tightly, leaving his hands behind his back so Jaehyun couldn’t see them.

‘good. It’s a success.’

After clearing his throat, Jaehyun looked at his colleagues and said.

“Because I proved that there is nothing wrong. You eat too.”

At Jaehyun’s words, others ate his food with their eyes closed.

“Ugh…”

A rather violent reaction ensued, but fortunately there were no casualties.

And… Finally, the final turn came.

“Wouldn’t it be okay if we didn’t eat Yu-jeong’s cooking? Poppy likes it, so I think it would be okay to eat alone…”

Kwon So-yul looked at her notice while talking, but Kim Yoo-jung smiled and waved her hand.

“I’ll make as many more as you like, so all you have to do is enjoy it. Yongyong also ate it deliciously, so it will definitely be worth eating this time too!”

Kwon So-yul’s face turned white at the words he said while raising his thumb.

Kim Yoo-jung was convinced that her food was delicious even during the past outdoor training camp.

The colleagues looked at Jaehyun with resentful eyes with their eyes tightly closed.

Then the moment they taste a bite of food.

An electric current rushed through my tongue and brain.

“Kuhup…!”

“…Ha ha ha….”

“Nanana, save me… Soyul, I don’t know what it is, but please take one pill…”

Jaehyun was relaxed while watching their reactions.

He firmly believed in the power of skill. Wasn’t he actually able to eat his own food calmly?

Jaehyun didn’t worry at all and put Kim Yoojung’s stew in his mouth.

‘I don’t feel any taste… hmm?’

It was then that I felt that Jaehyun was strange.

‘Something’s wrong.’

Jaehyun was sure.

I shouldn’t be able to feel the taste because of the effect of the skill… What on earth is this sensation digging into the tip of my nose?

“Ugh…”

Jaehyun felt dizzy for a moment.

– You ingested poison.

― > resists status ailments.

― > resists status ailments.

― > resists status ailments.

…message after message.

He watched the dish in front of him, trying to control his spinning mind.

It was strange.

Now that you’ve gained godhood, you’re going to collapse like this with just one dish?

“The kids… have already been hurt…”

I looked around and saw that the others were already down.

Only Kim Yoo-jung and Papi were looking at the fallen people with their heads tilted.

Jaehyun finally came to his senses and asked one last question before passing out.

“Kim Yoo-jung… this bird… don’t you taste the food when you cook? How the hell is this…”

Kim Yoo-jung responded with a natural smile.

“ok? If you pick it up in the middle of cooking, you’ll gain weight.”

“Who… said that…!”

“Did your mother do that?”

“Cowardly…”

With Kim Yoo-jung’s words of course, even Jae-hyun collapsed on the spot.

They woke up a few hours later.

It was the last day to return from a school trip.

* * *

The day we come back after all the school trips are over.

On the way back to Daegu after passing through the portal center, Jaehyun accessed the portal site and skimmed through the new articles.

In the main portal, as I talked about with Renki Moriya at the beginning. There were articles about black robes all over the place.

Its headline read:

[Black robe… shocked to see it appear in Japan this time]

[Black robe. After defeating Yamatano Orochi, he suddenly disappears?]

[A mysterious man appeared on Lake Chuzenji. What is the purpose of the black robe?

Why did he help the Japanese coalition?]

The article was stimulating, but it was mostly written in favor of the black robe.

‘It must mean that Moriya Renki is keeping his promise to me.’

Jaehyun thought so and put on a satisfied expression.

Now the name of the black robe will become more famous all over the world.

This will be of great help in your future activities.

Jaehyun thought so and turned off his smartphone when suddenly Hoyeon Ahn, who was sitting next to him, stabbed him in the side.

“I… That Jaehyun. I’m saying this because I don’t have kids.”

he was so lucky

When Jaehyun turned his head, he said in the lowest possible voice.

“Is there something going on with Ina?”

“what? What are you talking about?”

“No… Ina did that before when you weren’t there. He said something like that… confession to you. They said they haven’t heard back yet and are waiting. I want to know what the story is about.”

“Ah…”

Jaehyun couldn’t help but be a little taken aback by those words.

It was a story between two people, but I didn’t know that it would spread to circle members so quickly.

To think that Seo Eana was even talking about him.

It was something that I couldn’t help but be surprised by Jaehyun.

After thinking for a while, Jaehyun asked in a quiet voice.

“Is Ina okay?”

“Hmm… the expression seemed okay. I’m not going to say anything about other people’s love stories… but it’s kind of like when kids fall apart. I was just asking because I was worried.”

“don’t worry. There is no such thing.”

After saying that, Jaehyun put on his earphones and closed his eyes.

It meant that I would not talk about this matter any more. Ahn Ho-yeon was also considerate of him and did not ask more.

like that. The stopped bus started moving again, and the school bus came to a halt not long after at the academy site.

It was the moment when the long 5 days and 4 nights school trip schedule was finally over.

* * *

A few minutes later when Jaehyun and his colleagues were going back to the dorm.

Nyan-.

Hella, who suddenly turned into a cat, came to visit him.

Circle members of Nine tilted their heads as if they were puzzled by the appearance of the black cat.

“what? Why are there all the cats in the academy grounds?”

“…I know. Even the red and purple odd eye… I’ve never heard of a cat like this roaming the academy.”

“Anyway, it looks really strange. Even the hair is shiny.”

words of friends. They had reasons for their doubts.

This is because there are no animals except summoned beasts in the academy grounds of Milles Academy. The reason was that there was a possibility of becoming a demon beast due to the influence of magical power.

Nyaang.

As if she were a real cat, Hella came up to her and poked her leg.

Jaehyun looked at her with his eyes narrowed.

‘It’s strange. Hella never showed up first when she was with her friends.’

Hella looked as if she had something to tell her.

It’s not serious.

Thinking so, Jaehyun turned his back to his colleagues and said.

“I’ll go first.”

“Do you know that black cat? Are you Yongyong’s friend?”

Kim Yoo-jung asked. Jaehyun shrugged his shoulders appropriately.

“Something similar.”

“If it is urgent, go quickly. Let’s go and get some rest.”

Kwon So-yul nodded while saying that, and Lee Jae-sang agreed.

“G-g-g-g-g-yeah! Come on, everyone should get some rest!”

“…See you tomorrow.”

After exchanging greetings with his colleagues, Jaehyun quickly walked back to his hotel room.

As soon as I opened the door and entered, I heard the voice of Hela, who had polymorphed into a human.

She had an urgent expression.

“We need to move quickly.”

“…yes?”

When Jaehyun tilted his head, she sat down on the bed as if she was used to it now.

“The third trial is ready.”

“Are you finally starting over?”

Jaehyun smiled as if he had waited for Hella’s words.

Now is the time to go to the next step.

Hella kept her hands together.

“One thing in particular this time. I will warn you in advance.”

She was as heavy as possible.

“This trial will be completely different from the two past ones.”

“Why?”

When Jaehyun asked with a serious expression, Hella sighed.

“Because the god in charge of trials… is insane.”

* * *

A place full of fresh apple trees. The figure of a goddess is seen.

She clapped her hands excitedly and murmured.

“It’s finally my turn…! Adversary…! You pay for the precious gift! It’s wonderful!

Of course, it will take a while to come, but…….”

She spun around in place as if she was excited.

“Anyway, where are you coming from! It looks like Hella has already started guiding… I’m going to do some people-watching in a while!”

As she murmured, she held a wooden basket in her hand. There are a lot of ripe golden apples inside.

The goddess smiled as fresh as spring.

“Then… Shall we prepare for the third trial soon?”
