Episode 42
Choi Hyun-seok. A month has already passed since he became the chef.
Naturally, I am now quite accustomed to the duties of a chef.
If I were to write down what he does, there are three main things he does.
First, hunt.
Second, draw a new cooking bottle.
Third, cook the food that Hemis, Raydon, and Abelson will eat.
First of all, hunting is the most basic skill of a cook.
This is because the purpose of the chef here is to supply special dishes and fresh horse meat.
Here, Choi Hyun-seok did not hesitate to abuse his power and satisfy his own greed.
“Hurry up! Today, only the platoon that wins will be able to eat meat!”
Have the cook bring the demon alive.
Then, you can level up comfortably by cutting off your own breathing.
In this way, I was able to level up by over 100 levels in just one month.
Next up is a new cooking bottle draw.
Hunting demons is hard.
It’s even harder to catch them alive than to kill them.
Naturally, the cooks had to suffer greater damage.
There were mass casualties every day, and Choi Hyun-seok had to recruit new cooks every day to fill the vacancies.
This was quite a bothersome task, but I wasn’t too dissatisfied because it was for my own level up.
The last one is cooking it yourself.
In the past, Choi Hyun-seok purchased cooking skills from the warrior shop.
And now that I’m a chef.
Cooking skills that were thought to be useless were shining.
Commander Hemis, who is like the sky.
Raidran, spiritual leader and martial arts master.
And Abelson Marriott, who might one day become my wife.
Choi Hyun-seok personally cooked and delivered food to just those three.
It didn’t matter what the other high-ranking officials ate.
Anyway, they were happy if you just threw them fresh chunks of meat like you’ve been doing so far.
“But not anymore.”
Choi Hyun-seok thinks.
The Demon King’s army’s cooking skills are poor.
On that subject, he is quite picky and has a huge appetite.
In fact, the soldiers of the cooking company would jump into a fire pit if they had a piece of meat they cooked.
“I think this will work for other senior executives too.”
What about senior executives then?
Couldn’t they be able to charm the common soldiers with their own meat?
“Hemis and Raidrun also praised it as delicious. Even for high-ranking demons, their tastes don’t differ much.”
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes lit up.
“So, let’s roast one of the battalion commanders and make him food.”
“What happened after that?”
“Take me to a dark place and have me and Bobo work together.”
Rachel made a disgusted expression when she heard Choi Hyun-seok’s plan.
“The warrior’s schemes are only getting more and more evil.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“But would there be a fool who would fall for food? Those at the battalion commander level seem to have high intelligence.” “Of course there are. This place is full of fools anyway.” “That’s true, but…”
Rachel still looked worried.
“Rachel. Do you remember when I became a cook and first recruited a cook?” “Yes? Oh! I remember. I was called in by a battalion commander and almost got in big trouble.”
Of course I couldn’t help but remember.
Because at the time, I thought something really big had happened.
In the end, it was resolved by taking on the headache of Usaru.
“That fat battalion commander back then. Didn’t you think he had a huge appetite just by looking at him?”
“Oh, really…?”
I don’t remember his name, but I’m sure he was a very fat battalion commander.
Since most of the Demon King’s army consisted of only muscular men, the memory was particularly vivid.
“That pig…! It smelled like a pig!”
Rachel said with sparkling eyes.
“That’s right! Let’s start with that one first.” “Okay! We’ll have to work on it and catch him in a month, so we’ll have to be pressed for time.” “That’s right. Let’s get started right away.”
“yes!”
A new type of scam.
No, the warrior and the dedicated fairy started to move.
***
Captain Doras!
He, who loves peace, was peacefully eating meat today too.
“Whoaaak! Chook! Chook!”
A month ago.
There was a time when the peace was almost broken because of Choi Hyun-seok.

However, he uses his wit to successfully turn the crisis into an opportunity.
He was left with the responsibility of taking care of the troublemaker of the battalion, Usaru.
After that, he found true peace.
Because of that, my appetite exploded and I ended up growing bigger than before.
His obese body was now beyond simply large; it was sagging.
My flesh ripples every time I walk.
If we were humans, we would have to worry about various adult diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, myocardial infarction, malignant tumors, cataracts, arteriosclerosis, and pneumococcal disease due to extreme obesity.
Doras, who was strong enough to become the commander of the battalion, lived a healthy and peaceful life without any minor illnesses.
Knock knock.
While I was busy eating meat, someone knocked on the office door.
“What’s going on?”
Doras pretended to look uncomfortable as she watched the incoming soldiers.
You’re interrupting my mealtime.
If it was any trivial matter, I vowed to have that on the dinner table tonight.
“Doras-sama. The cooking captain has come to see you.” “The cooking captain? Are you talking about that person?” “Yes. This is Chef Choi Hyeon-seok.”
“Ugh…”
Doras groaned at the mention of Choi Hyun-seok.
‘I don’t want to get involved…’
Choi Hyun-seok is under the protection of the corps commander.
In addition, Raidrun is the direct subordinate of the legion commander.
It was also an open secret that he had a pathological fondness for Choi Hyun-seok.
There was no good in getting involved with such a dangerous person.
“If you need a cook, just go ahead and pick it out like before.”
The soldier shook his head at Doras’ words.
“No, I just wanted to say thank you.”
“Thank you?”
“Yes. I would like to treat you to some meat cooked by the chef himself…”
Doras’s eyes widened at the word meat.
Even so, it was buried in the flesh and I couldn’t see it properly.
“Tell them to come in.”
“yes.”
A moment later, the soldier leaves.
The human Choi Hyun-seok appeared holding a large plate.
He nodded.
“Doras-sama. It’s been a while.” “Ahem! Yes. You came to say thank you?” “Yes. Thanks to Doras-sama’s consideration a month ago, I was able to settle down comfortably as the head chef.”
Choi Hyun-seok continued speaking with a warm smile.
“I should have come to see you earlier, but I’ve been busy so I’m sorry for the delay.” “That could be the case. Ahem. By the way, what do you have in your hand?”
Doras already knew everything, but pretended not to know and asked.
Because I couldn’t wait to try new meat.
‘Is that guy’s grilled meat that delicious?’
There has been a rumor going around among battalion commanders recently.
There was a rumor that the meat that Choi Hyun-seok personally grilled was extremely delicious.
But since only the legion commander and the raiders were treated well, no crazy officer came forward and asked for meat first.
But then this opportunity came to him.
‘Hehe. I didn’t order it, he said he would give it to me, so it shouldn’t matter.’
As Doras had expected, what was on the plate was well-cooked meat.
“Although my skills are lacking, I cooked it with all my heart to express my gratitude to Lady Doras. I hope you like it.”
Choi Hyun-seok’s tongue danced dazzlingly.
But Doras didn’t hear it.
His gaze was already fixed on the meat on the table.
“Would you like to try some?” “Ahem, then where should we try it?”
Doras picked up a large piece of meat without hesitation.
I was so curious about the taste of that meat that I was going crazy, regardless of my pride or anything else.
“Wow! Ugh! Ugh!”
Doras, who put the meat in her mouth, began to savor it slowly.
Immediately afterwards, an unpleasant groan came out of the pig’s mouth.
“Haaang…”
For a moment, Choi Hyun-seok’s face lit up with life, but it was so brief that Doras didn’t notice.
“Ahem! The meat tastes great.”
Doras said, blushing.
It seemed as if he was belatedly embarrassed by the fact that he had made such a disgrace.
“I’m glad you liked it.”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled with a friendly smile.
To anyone who sees him, he looks like a genuinely happy person.
Even if he had not been a martial artist on Earth but had been an actor, he would have been a successful person.
However, his rough body and fierce appearance may have limited his roles.
“Then I will go now.”
“Are you leaving already?”
Although she secretly wanted Choi Hyun-seok to leave immediately, Doras pretended to be disappointed for no reason.
‘But I can’t just send it away like this after being treated to meat like this.’
Maybe Choi Hyun-seok will gift me meat again next time?
“Yes. Okay, that’s it.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was leaving the office, suddenly stopped and turned around.
“Oh, Captain Doras. If it’s okay with you, can I treat you to a meal sometime in the future?”
“Huh…?”
“Actually, this is a meal for the Commander and Raidrun, so I don’t have time to spare often. However…”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Doras with sparkling eyes.
“Since Lady Doras, who has such a great personality, is so happy… I feel like I should continue to treat you to meals if possible.” “Hahaha! Sure! Of course! I feel like I should be the one asking for a favor!”
Doras didn’t bother to decline.
To be exact, I didn’t have the presence of mind to give up.
My mouth just dropped open at the thought that I could keep eating meat.
“Thank you. Then I’ll really go since I’m busy with work.” “Okay, okay! Be careful on the way back!”
Unusually, Doras got up from her chair to see Choi Hyun-seok off.
thud.
Soon, Choi Hyun-seok left and the office door closed.
Only then did Doras burst out into laughter.
“Hehehe… khahahaha! Good, good! This is true peace!”
There is no moment more peaceful than eating a delicious meal.
“Kwak! Choke, choke! What on earth do you do to meat to make it taste like this!?”
Doras thinks as he eats meat absentmindedly.
‘Choi Hyun-seok… There’s no need to look at him so negatively. No, maybe he’s a good person!’
As expected, it wasn’t for nothing that Corps Commander Hemis kept humans close.
***
On the way back after completing the mission.
Choi Hyun-seok found himself laughing without realizing it.
Beside her, Rachel also laughed quietly.
“Keuheu, huh…”
“Hehe. Hehehe!”
The warrior and the dedicated fairy laugh.
“Kekekeke. Kkekeke!”
“Heeheehee! Kkihi!”
“Poohahahahaha!”
“Kyahahahahahaha!”
Eventually, the two couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out in laughter.
“Hero, hero, hero!”
Rachel called out to Choi Hyun-seok in a fuss.
“Phew, why?”
“Did you see that pig’s expression just now? It was completely out of its mind!?” “Yeah, it was completely out of its mind!” “How on earth do you make someone groan like “haaang~” after eating meat?”
For a moment Rachel looked terrified.
Choi Hyun-seok also continued speaking with a hardened expression.
“Honestly, at that time, I briefly considered hitting you on the head with a plate.” “You held it in. As expected, you’re amazing, Warrior!” “I see? Hahahahaha!”
“Yes! Gyahahahahaha!”
Was it because I was so happy that the operation was so successful?
The two of them were half crazy.
***
After a while, we arrived at Bobo’s house.
Rachel, who had calmed down, spoke with a serious expression.
“By the way, warrior. What are your plans for next time?” “The real fun starts now.”
“Oh~?”
Rachel looked extremely interested.
“From now on, you have to have a secret affair with that pig. Give it meat periodically, but don’t let it take it for granted.” “So you’re going to make it a slave to meat!?” “Similar. Tease it gently like that, and when the time is right…”
Choi Hyun-seok made a sinister expression.
“We’re going hunting together.”
“Pig hunting?”
“Yeah. Pig hunting… khuhheh!” “Hehehe! That sounds fun!”
There is one month left.
There’s a pig in there somehow.
No, I was thinking of capturing Captain Doras.
