Episode 33
“Hero, hero, hero, hero, hero!”
“why.”
“Congratulations on your promotion! You are now a company commander!”
Rachel said, grumbling.
Choi Hyun-seok stared at Rachel.
“Didn’t you clearly say that you had a duty as a warrior in the past?”
Rachel was also terrified when Choi Hyun-seok said he was going to be a slave trader.
Now that you’re the commander of the Demon King’s army, you can’t curse at me, but you can congratulate me?
Rachel smiled at Choi Hyun-seok’s question.
“I’ve given up now! Let’s just get ahead here!” “Haa… I shouldn’t have said that.”
Choi Hyun-seok looked tired.
“Where are we going now?” “First, let’s go to the kitchen.”
There isn’t much time.
Because Hemis ordered the kitchen to be back in normal operation by tomorrow.
“Let’s see… Will tomorrow be enough to organize the unit? Start normal operation of the kitchen from the day after tomorrow.”
I couldn’t bring myself to ask for more time as I spoke through my huge lips.
Thanks to that, Choi Hyun-seok is heading to the kitchen even though it is late.
“I’ll figure out what the kitchen situation is today, and finish the maintenance tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, we absolutely have to go hunting.” “Oh my! Our company commander. He’s quite charismatic, isn’t he!?” “Are you unusually irritable today?”
“Huh! Huh! Huh!”
Rachel crossed her arms and farted three times in a row.
“Why are you like that…”
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head.
I thought it would be best to just leave it alone.
“Arrived.
While I was thinking about this and that, I arrived at the kitchen.
As I opened the familiar door and went inside, I saw a desolate kitchen.
“There’s no one… .”
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok shut his mouth.
“Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!”
An ominous sound was coming from one side of the kitchen.
I quietly approached the direction from which the sound was coming.
“Crunch crunch! Crush crush!”
At the place we arrived, there was a cook eating something greedily.
‘Battle power is 2500. Lower than me.’
Choi Hyun-seok, who checked the ranking with the combat power meter, went into action right away.
“Hey you little shit!!!”
Choi Hyun-seok kicked the cook’s back.
“Koooosh!”
A sudden bolt of lightning sent the cook rolling and crashing into the wall.
“What, what is it!?”
“What are you doing, eating food at this hour? Huh!?”
“Choi, Choi Hyun-seok…?”
The cook recognized Choi Hyeon-seok.
“Oh, from now on, call me Chef.”
Choi Hyun-seok held out a piece of parchment.
It was an order appointing Choi Hyeon-seok as the captain of the cooking company.
“Words! I don’t know!”
“From today, I am the chef. The commander has given the order.”
“aha!”
The cook was easily convinced.
“So why are you eating like a thieving cat at this hour… This is not it. Hey! What’s your name?”
“It’s Galum!”
Gallum was over two meters tall, thin and hunched.
Although he was quite large, he resembled his friend in many ways, including being bald and liking rings.
“Gollum. Gather all the cooks. Now.”
“It’s Galum.”
“Anyway, I told you to gather the cooks.”
“I don’t like it.”
“why?”
“Galum doesn’t listen to weaklings.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded at Galum’s words.
And then he suddenly threw a low kick.
Bam!
A sharp sound rang out.
As he struck with all his might, filled with magical power, Galum felt pain as if his legs were breaking.
“Okay, who’s the weak one now?” “G, I can’t admit that… .” Tsk!

“I’ll go right now.” Boom!
“Kahak! I said I would go, but why, why are you hitting me!?” “It just feels bad that Gollum got hit by me.”
Choi Hyun-seok said with an evil smile.
Galum began to crawl away with tears in his eyes.
“Galum… it hurts… my legs hurt!”
It seemed like it would take quite some time to bring all the cooks while walking around.
***
Choi Hyun-seok roughly checked the remaining food stock.
Meanwhile, the cooks began to gather one by one.
Choi Hyun-seok quickly scanned them with his combat power meter.
‘Average combat power 2,000. The highest one is around 3,500.’
Originally, the average fighting power of the cooks was very high.
But unfortunately or fortunately, it has become much weaker than before.
‘Fortunately, it seems like there won’t be any problem in holding it…’
The problem is the number of cooks.
‘Why is it written like this?’
Even though they clearly told us to gather all the cooks, only about thirty of them were gathered.
At least it was too little.
Choi Hyun-seok frowned and looked at Galum.
“Is this the end? Are we all here?”
“That, that’s right…”
“Gallum spoke, still sitting there.
“Yes. Should I say that?”
Choi Hyun-seok said with a fierce laugh.
Gallum nodded quickly.
“That’s right!”
“Okay! Everyone focus.”
Choi Hyun-seok clapped his hands, drawing attention.
Now that all the cooks were gathered, it was time to get to the point.
“You all know this face. Do you know who I am?”
“This is Choi Hyun-seok.”
“Choi Hyun-seok. A human. He makes delicious meat.” “He is a delicious human.”
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok raised his hand.
“Hey, over there.”
“…”
“The guy who just said he was a delicious human being. Yeah, you. Me and Inma.”
An orc walked out with a shaky face.
“Do I look like a delicious person?”
“Yes.”
As soon as the answer came, a lightning-like low kick struck.
Bam!
In one fell swoop, the orc grabbed his leg and fell to the ground.
“Do I look like a delicious person?”
“Yeah…”
The orc’s eyes, as he spoke, quickly scanned Galum.
It wasn’t that difficult to figure out the situation.
If he gets hit a few more times, he too will become a cripple.
“I don’t think so. It looks like it won’t taste good.” Ugh!
“Why, why are you hitting me!?”
“It feels bad to hear someone say it doesn’t taste good.”
Choi Hyun-seok turned his back on the orcs who were looking at him with pitiful eyes, and looked at the cooks again.
He handed over the order.
“Now! This is the order from the commander. As you can see, it appoints me as the chief cook.”
In fact, Choi Hyun-seok doesn’t even know what is written in the order.
Because I couldn’t read.
I’m just saying it because that’s what I heard.
“So, whenever you call me, just call me Chef. Got it?”
“yes…”
The cooks nodded reluctantly.
In the moment when I didn’t see him, Choi Hyun-seok, who used to grill meat while smiling, had turned into a tyrant.
“Who’s the smartest guy here?”
The cooks started to murmur at Choi Hyun-seok’s question.
“Cardon was smart.” “Idiot. Cardon died yesterday.” “Moliom is smart.” “Moliom is stupid.” “Moliom is smart!” “Moliom is a f*cking idiot.”
In no time, chaos ensued.
“Everyone shut up!”
“…”
The situation was immediately resolved with one loud shout.
“Okay. You there.”
Choi Hyun-seok called the cook he had seen in advance.
‘That guy spoke the most fluently earlier.’
Although it was a brief moment, Choi Hyun-seok caught everything the cooks were saying.
“What is your name?”
“It’s Kron.”
“Okay, Krong. Do you remember when Kulkan was alive?”
“yes.”
“How many cooks were there at that time?”
“hmm…”
Kron repeatedly opened and closed his fingers.
“I think there were over 300.” “Yeah. That’s what I remember too. But why is this all there is now?”
When they faced Queen Talas, there were only about 100 cooks there, including Kulkan.
Even if they were all killed at that time, there should still be 200 people left.
“They’re all dead.”
“How did that happen?”
“I went hunting and was attacked by a demon.”
“ah…”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded without realizing it.
It was a situation where it was a video even without watching it.
‘It must not have been managed because it had no head.’
Kulkan was quite smart for a member of the Demon King’s army.
His fighting power was also outstanding at 35,000.
However, in the Talas incident, not only Kulkan but also the elite cooks including the vice-chief were killed at the same time.
No matter how strong the remaining cooks are, they are not as strong as the demon.
If they had rushed in without warning, a massacre would have occurred.
“Haa… The situation is more serious than I thought.”
My head has been hurting for a while now.
‘If you go hunting, you can just select a new cook and go… but how do you cook?’
The cook’s main duties are twofold.
Hunting and cooking.
Anyone can hunt, but not anyone can cook.
Since it was a meal eaten by executives, cooking it required a certain level of skilled technique.
“Krong.”
“It’s Kron.”
“Anyway, who’s the best cook here?” “Um… Galum.”
“okay?”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Galum, who was sitting on the floor, with a look of surprise.
“Gollum.”
“yes.”
“From now on, you will be the head of the absurd. Anyone who has any complaints, tell me now.”
“…”
“Okay.”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled with satisfaction.
“Everyone, go inside now. It’s going to be busy starting tomorrow. Get some rest.”
Today’s work is done.
Starting tomorrow, we need to recruit new cooks.
‘I’m sure you can do it…’
Today, Choi Hyun-seok was confident.
He became stronger.
‘Let’s just pick the easiest guys.’
Typical strong-weak-weak-strong!
I was going to show you what a vile tyrant you are.
***
The next day.
As soon as the sun rose, Choi Hyun-seok left Bobo’s house.
“Bobo! Let’s go for a walk!”
A fun walk with Bobo! No.
It was a move to recruit new cooks.
The reason for taking Bobo with you is to threaten your opponent if necessary.
“Heh, heh!”
Unaware of the breeder’s dark temperament, Bobo followed Choi Hyun-seok with a happy face.
“Where are you going from, my lord?” “Well… I’m at a loss when it comes to gathering soldiers.”
All Hemis said was that he was given the authority to recruit soldiers.
There was no explanation whatsoever as to where, how, how much, or who should be collected.
“Somehow it will work out.”
“I guess so.”
“If that doesn’t work, you can hide behind Bobo and threaten him.” “Wow, a warrior who proudly says such vile things. That’s the worst.”
“What’s the big deal?”
“That’s true.”
It’s ridiculous to now talk about things like being mean and evil.
He was a warrior and a dedicated fairy who had already put everything down a long time ago.
“Okay. Let’s start with that guy.”
Choi Hyun-seok pointed to a soldier.
He was a muscular soldier with a face that resembled a mole.
“Why that mole?” “It looks easy.”
To be exact, the fighting power was mediocre.
[ Combat Power: 1931 ]
Choi Hyun-seok nodded, checking the fighting power floating on his goggles.
“Not too high, not too low, just right.”
If the combat power is too high, it is difficult to handle.
However, if the combat power is too low, it is useless.
In that sense, a combat power between 1500 and 3000 can be considered the most appropriate.
“Aha! Sir, you’re secretly smart.” “Not secretly smart, just smart.”
Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel approached the soldier while making a lame joke.
“Hey. You over there.”
Choi Hyun-seok called the soldier.
The soldier looked around for a moment and then pointed at himself with his finger.
“Yeah. Mole. You, I mean.”
At the word mole, veins appeared on the soldier’s face.
Choi Hyun-seok continued talking without paying attention.
“You go cook.”
“Cooking disease?”
“Okay. I’ll feed you delicious food until you burst.”
The mole soldier was momentarily taken aback by the sudden suggestion.
Then suddenly he frowns fiercely.
“No! By the way, human. How dare you call me a mole?” “Huh? You don’t want to be a cook?”
“I said no!”
“It’s strange…”
Choi Hyun-seok made a puzzled expression.
I thought he would go crazy and run to me if I gave him the cooking skill, but I was surprised.
“I’ll tear your brain out!”
The mole soldier, enraged by the word mole, immediately swung his fist.
Choi Hyun-seok slightly turned his head to avoid the punch.
“Well, if you don’t like it, there’s nothing I can do about it…”
Simultaneous low kicks!
Bam!
The mole made a furious expression as the pain of his thigh burning.
“You go cook.”
“I said no…”
Bam!
“Do you want to be a cook?”
Choi Hyun-seok threw a low kick without even listening to the answer.
Bam!
The mole sat down with a look of resentment on his face.
“Why, why are you hitting me without even listening to my answer!? I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”
Even when told that he would become a cook, Choi Hyun-seok shook his head.
“No. That’s not it.” “What!? What’s the problem with doing the cooking as you wish!?” “Please tell me to do the cooking with a more earnest expression.”
“…”
At that moment, the mole realized.
This guy is crazy.
If you want to survive, you have to do as you are told.
“Not doing it?”
“Please! Pick me as a cook!”
Did the mole’s earnest desire get through?
Choi Hyun-seok smiled faintly.
“Well, if you want it that much, then there’s nothing I can do! I’ll let you do it!”
Leaving the mole with its head bowed with a look of despair.
Rachel came and said.
“Sir! I’m surprised. You’re a master of negotiation!?”
Choi Hyun-seok rubbed his nose with his finger in response to the compliment.
“Well, this is easy enough.” “If things continue like this, I think I can pull them all out today!” “Good. Let’s go!”
Warrior Choi Hyun-seok and dedicated fairy Rachel strike a powerful fighting pose.
