Episode 35
“Whoaaak! Chook! Chook!”
Captain Doras was eating greedily, holding food in both hands.
“The meat tastes better today, I guess!”
I felt more appetizing than usual.
“It feels so good, like a tooth that was hurting has fallen out!”
Soldier Usaru, who was passed on to Choi Hyun-seok.
He was a headache for the battalion.
A hybrid of an ogre and an orc.
Demons and Demon Tribes
Somewhere in between, Usaru was incredibly stupid.
On that subject, the force was so strong that it could not be treated carelessly.
‘If he had been smart, he might have risen to the position of battalion commander.’
Even now, he is a fool who can easily crush a company commander with just his physical abilities.
If such a Usaru had such outstanding intelligence, it would not have been unreasonable for him to dream of becoming a battalion commander.
“Remember!”
Doras trimmed it coolly.
“He was a troublemaker.”
It’s too strong to be thrown out.
If you leave it alone, it will keep causing accidents.
From the perspective of Doras, who wanted peace, he was an extremely annoying guy.
“This incident will weaken the battalion’s power, but there will be no problem.”
Soldiers deserted in large numbers, and Usaru, the best fighter in the battalion except for himself, left.
Doras didn’t care.
There was no need to fight at the legion headquarters anyway.
The soldiers who drop out can just be refilled.
“Thank you, Choi Hyun-seok!”
Doras was sincerely grateful to Choi Hyun-seok.
Because she was the one who brought him true peace.
“Hahahaha! Meat! Bring me more meat!”
That night, a creaking sound echoed through Doras’ office all night long.
***
“Two hundred and sixty-seven. Two hundred and sixty-eight. Two hundred and seventy! Exactly two hundred and seventy!”
The once deserted kitchen was now completely crowded.
The newly selected cooks were gathered together in a messy manner.
“Including the original ones, there are about three hundred people.”
At this point, we can say that we have a rough idea.
“Ahem! Everyone, pay attention!”
Choi Hyun-seok shouted loudly.
“Let me introduce myself again. I am Choi Hyun-seok, the zookeeper who will be in charge of Bobo’s kitchen this time!”
Choi Hyun-seok finished his brief self-introduction.
Of course, he didn’t forget to sell Bobo in the meantime to create a sense of pressure.
“Kwaaaaang!”
The quick-witted Bobo howled beautifully.
The soldiers who had been forced to become cooks looked at Bobo with fearful eyes.
It was a good start.
“From now on, we will reorganize the unit. Forget the old framework! Our cooking company will operate by its own rules!”
Choi Hyun-seok used a combat power meter and examined the soldiers.
“You, you, you. And you. From now on, you are the platoon leader.”
We select platoon leaders primarily from those with strong military power.
“You too. Yeah. Gollum, Mole, and Krong, stand in front of you too.”
We selected soldiers who would be in charge of cooking, centered around the existing cooks.
“Huh, are you done with the general organization?”
As a result, about 100 Cooking Hall soldiers and 200 Hunting Hall soldiers were created.
“If there’s anyone who’s dissatisfied with the current lineup, come out. I’ll move them.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the soldiers in charge of cooking all raised their hands.
“I want to hunt too.” “If I don’t hunt, I won’t be able to eat meat!” “I want to eat meat!”
The soldiers shouted like children throwing a tantrum.
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head.
‘The kids don’t know the subject.’
The cooking positions were intentionally filled with weak soldiers.
Because even if half-baked guys go hunting, it won’t be of any help.
“Those who raised their hands now, stand in front of me in your turn.”
Soldiers hoping to change jobs lined up.
“I’m going to hit you twice from now on. Those who resist will be transferred to the hunting party.”
Then, the goblin standing at the very front, right in front of Choi Hyun-seok, blinked its eyes.
“Huh? What does that mean…?”
A low kick struck before he could even assess the situation.

Bam!
The goblin, hit in the thigh, spun 360 degrees in the air before crashing to the ground.
“Ke, keke…! Leg… my leg…!” “Ah, did I kick too hard?”
The goblin clutched his leg, tears streaming down his face.
It looked like it was probably broken.
“Anyway, you’re weak, so you won’t be able to do it. Come back when you’re stronger.”
Choi Hyun-seok said in a sarcastic tone.
He turns his head and looks at the next soldier.
“Next. Come this way.”
The one standing behind the goblin was an orc.
The bastard returned to where he was without saying a word.
“Where?”
“I suddenly don’t feel like hunting.” “Okay then. Next!”
The situation was the same after that.
The soldiers who saw the goblin with its broken leg trembled in fear and most of them returned to their cooking duties.
Of course, there were still some persistent ones left.
Crunch! Crunch!
“Well, I don’t think we should go hunting!”
A couple of low kicks in the negotiation were enough to get the point across.
Before five minutes had passed, all the cooks had returned to duty.
“Don’t be too upset. The cook will share the meat with you. You guys are actually benefiting from it? You don’t hunt and you eat meat.”
The eyes of the soldiers in charge of cooking sparkled at the mention of distributing meat.
‘Well, I’ll give you just a little bit of shit.’
Choi Hyun-seok laughed evilly.
It’s okay to give a little bit somewhere.
“Now the real organizing is done.”
Choi Hyun-seok wiped away the sweat that wasn’t flowing.
It seemed like the general outline was all set.
‘It ended sooner than expected.’
The soldiers followed the orders more obediently than expected.
I thought people would feel aversion to it because it was related to a person, but I was surprised.
[He commanded the soldiers with excellent leadership and commanding ability, and reorganized and stabilized the unit]
[Hidden ability Charisma increases]
[Ability Control level increases]
Choi Hyun-seok opened his eyes wide.
It was a completely unexpected income.
‘I always thought the soldiers listened too well. Was it because of these?’
I was just thinking that it was strange that the soldiers listened so obediently.
It was not enough to simply say that he followed because he was afraid of low kicks.
Only after seeing the system alarm did I understand why.
“They turned out to be surprisingly useful.”
Hidden abilities Charisma and Ability Control obtained while working as a slave trader in the past.
Honestly, I thought it was completely useless until now.
But that thought was wrong.
These two forces truly demonstrated their worth when the moment called for it.
·Charisma: 34
▫Ability: Leadership (D)
Charisma went up from 30 to 34.
Command has been raised from E to D rank.
It was a pretty generous reward for the short amount of hardship.
“Very good!”
It was when Choi Hyun-seok smiled with satisfaction.
An unidentified scream was heard outside the kitchen.
“Usaru!”
“Ah… I forgot about him.”
Choi Hyun-seok sighed, resting his hand on his forehead.
Name is Usaru!
About 5m tall.
It’s a hybrid between an ogre and an orc.
As a characteristic, he always carries a club as big as Choi Hyun-seok’s body.
“Usaru! I’m bored!”
Estimated mental age is roughly that of a kindergartener.
Communication is possible, but that doesn’t mean he listens well.
“Haa, what should I do with that?”
“That’s right…”
The problem is that Usaru is too strong.
It’s just too strong and pointless on a topic that isn’t properly controlled.
Choi Hyun-seok put on the combat power meter once again and looked at Usaru.
[ Combat power: Unmeasurable ]
“This old measuring device can’t measure anything if it’s bored!?”
Choi Hyun-seok nervously took off the measuring device.
[Caution! This meter cannot measure combat power above 50,000]
[If you continuously observe an unmeasurable object, the durability of the measuring device will be rapidly consumed]
“Oh, was that it?”
Now that I look at it, it seems like combat power is only measured up to 50,000.
If you think about it, the number has never exceeded 50,000 before.
“Anyway, that guy’s combat power is over 50,000.”
“Yes.”
“I can’t make him listen by hitting him like the other guys, it’s difficult…”
At that moment, Usaru recognized Choi Hyeon-seok and shouted.
“Choi Hyun-seok! Usaru is bored!” “Oh, call me Chef. I’m the boss. Do you know what that means?”
Let’s try to have a conversation first.
“Captain! Usaru is bored!”
I think it’s about half successful.
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Usaru for a moment and fell into thought.
‘Since it’s come to this… should we go hunting right away?’
I thought maybe that would be better.
“Do you want to go hunting? Do you know what hunting is?”
Usaru’s eyes lit up at the word hunting.
“Usaru! Hunting! I want to go!” “Okay, okay. While we’re at it, let’s go right now.”
Originally, I was planning to just do some maintenance on the unit today and call it a day.
Because I was planning to start hunting in earnest starting tomorrow.
However, the unit maintenance was completed sooner than expected.
The sun is still high in the sky.
There is no reason to waste precious time.
Choi Hyun-seok called together his hunting team.
“All hands on deck! It’s time to go cut the meat!”
***
On the way to the long-awaited hunt!
Choi Hyeon-seok led 200 cooks and Bobo on a hunting expedition.
“Rachel. I was thinking about it.”
While moving, Choi Hyun-seok spoke to Rachel.
“How about having these guys capture those demons alive?” “If they work hard to capture them, you plan on just striking them with the final blow, right?”
That fairy with that warrior?
Rachel quickly figured out Choi Hyun-seok’s intentions.
“Hmm, it’s not a bad plan, but there’s a problem.”
“What’s the problem?”
“Capturing it alive is much harder than killing it. Do you think the Demon King’s brainless army can do it?” “Even if you cut off its limbs or something, as long as the demon beast is still breathing, it’ll be fine. If you make something like a net later and learn how to use it, it’ll be really good.” “Oh, that sounds plausible.”
Rachel nodded.
“Anyway, even if these idiots die here, we can always pick them up again. Let’s level up the warrior while we’re at it!”
“Uh, uh… yeah…”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Rachel with a trembling expression.
It was my plan, but it was ‘ah’ different and ‘uh’ different.
Something about Rachel’s expression was strangely rough.
Choi Hyun-seok opened his mouth carefully.
“This isn’t my place to say this, but… I think you’re becoming more and more eccentric.” “Warrior! This is a world where you can’t live with your mind intact!” “Well, that’s true…” “If I had alcohol, I would have drunk a lot!”
Isn’t it your fault that we’ve fallen into a world where we can’t live with our sanity? – the words rose to the tip of my tongue.
“Oh… You’ve been stressed out too.”
Fortunately, I didn’t say it out loud.
After all, she was also in a position to suffer.
I didn’t really want to bring up the past.
“Wait a minute. Doesn’t something seem strange?”
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok suddenly stopped.
Rachel looked back with a puzzled face.
“What’s strange?”
“The devil won’t come out.”
We had already passed the entrance to the forest a long time ago.
But the devil’s nose is nowhere to be seen.
It seemed too strange to be a coincidence.
“Sir. Could it be because of Bobo?”
“Oh, that’s right!”
Choi Hyun-seok clapped his hands.
Because I remembered the conversation I had with former chef Kulkan.
“Bobo can’t come with you.” “Huh? Why is that?” “Because if Bobo goes, the demons will run away and we won’t be able to hunt.”
When I went out on my first hunt.
Choi Hyun-seok said he wanted to take Bobo too, but was rejected.
“At the time, I thought it was an excuse, but was it really true…”
Although Bobo is still a baby, he is fundamentally different.
A demon beast that inherited the highest bloodline raised directly by the Demon King!
You could say they are royalty in the demon world.
“There’s also a guy named Usaru there.”
Even if it was just Bobo alone, this time, a giant named Usaru, who is either a demon or a beast, is also with him.
It was quite possible that the demons were scared and hid.
“What should I do?”
Choi Hyun-seok was worried.
It makes no sense to send Bobo and Usaru back now.
If we send those two back alone, we don’t know what kind of disaster will occur.
He must have accompanied them, which would leave the place with a ragtag group of newly-minted cooks.
There is no way he can properly carry out his mission.
A situation where you can’t do anything.
“Sir! There is a way!”
Then Rachel clapped her hands as if remembering something.
She looks at Choi Hyun-seok with a sinister smile.
“Let’s use bait.”
“bait?”
“It’s inefficient to go into the water to look for fish. Look, all the fish have run away.”
“Uh… really?”
“So you cast your fishing rod and shake the tasty bait around.” “Where is that tasty bait?”
Rachel shook her head as if she didn’t know that.
“There are a lot of them behind you.”
“huh?”
“There are 200 delicious baits! Isn’t that enough?”
A warrior and a dedicated fairy.
A plan was being made that would make even the Demon King cry in the hands of those who were supposed to save the world.
