Chapter.40 Cooking Competition

“Jo Joa… !”

What is it? Even the way he speaks is strange.

At that exact moment, the earpick touched my ear. Perhaps because Lurin was holding it tightly, it didn’t have any of the coldness typical of metal.

Lurin began to gently tickle my ear with familiar hand movements. I told you before that I liked this, and it seems like I didn’t forget.

The hand movement itself is very smooth. It was such a careful movement, like touching pudding, that it even felt like motherly love, and it tickled me.

It’s a bonus that your chest feels tight along with the tickling sensation. It’s like a tingling feeling.

“Ugh.”

But suddenly he lets out a moan.

Why are you moaning?

“It’s difficult… .”

What’s difficult? I don’t think I’ve ever said anything like that while digging my ears. Are you putting a bomb in your ear? What’s difficult?

“Ugh, that’s a bit there.”

Just as I was having that suspicion, Lulin must have touched the earwax that was stuck on me, and a slight pain came from the tickling softness.

“big! It’s big, so stay still. “You look like a baby too!”

“A baby! “Wow, that seems like a good place.”

“Is that so? then!”

Suddenly, Lurin’s hair touched my face. I took a quick look and saw that he was lowering his head. Then, when he met my eyes, he was startled and suddenly raised his head again.

“Oooooh! “What the hell!”

“That’s what I’m going to say! “Why are you yelling?”

“… “Oh no.”

Does this look like a very disappointed face? I’m in tears. It was a very sad and crying expression. It’s not a crying expression that comes from feeling sad. It’s sadness. It was a crying expression filled with sadness.

But then he shook his head, straightened his face, and patted his thigh.

“Turn over!” “That’s what I meant to say!”

I tried to tell him to lie down and he ended up crying?

I don’t know, but I just turned over and laid down. Today is 10 times more strange than it usually is sometimes.

Anyway, Lurin’s earpick came into my ear again. It tickles again and gently moves in and out of the ear, and then gently takes out the earwax. I started to feel the same way as before again, so I started to sneer without realizing it, but Lurin shouted at me right then.

“cute!”

“what?”

“You look cute now!”

“expression?”

Ugh? this? Did I unconsciously make a sloppy expression in the cozy comfort?

This guy’s hearing has grown a little. It made my face relax without me even realizing it.

And then Lurin’s hair began to gently brush my face again.

“Uuuuuu.”

Lurin’s face turned red and she began to lower her head again.

I keep picking my ears. What is this?

But Lurin was still muttering, and as if she couldn’t hear what I was saying, she grabbed my face with both hands and turned it to face me.

But it doesn’t come any closer. I don’t think it was an illusion that there were a few tears under Lurin’s eyes.

It seemed like the accumulated tears were trying to get caught in my eyelashes, and finally a single drop fell on my face.

“why… .”

“Why? Lulin?”

“because. “Why can’t I?”

Lurin, who had said that much, immediately got up. Because I woke up so forcefully, my body rolled on the bed.

Have I done something to make Lulin cry? no. No matter how much I think about it, I have never done something like that.

I was just very quiet, why on earth?

“Lurin?”

I immediately got up and looked at Lulin. Lurin was so angry that she turned her red face around with her fists clenched and ran out of the bedroom.

And a moment later, a scream was heard from the hallway.

“That guy did it! He can do it too, so why can’t I? “Huhhhhh!”

It sounds like loud wailing.

***

D-day has finally arrived.

The festival has begun.

The first day was uneventful. You can participate in a cooking event in the afternoon. Before that, you can just do business, but the customers are just as expected.

Not at all.

Not a single person comes to the end of the festival. Even if they come, they don’t even give me a second glance and leave.

I tried to spread the smell by grilling the skewers, but the sizzling smell mixed with the smell of other dishes lost its meaning. Because everyone is cooking here and there.

So the effect is zero.

So it just stretched out. It was as expected anyway. The original goal was to win the cooking competition in the afternoon and sell a lot tomorrow.

Still, it’s a little annoying to see flies flying around like this.

“Did you see there? I was doing art cooking over there. “Because we had an event, there were quite a few people!”

Licent went out to scout and, as if he had found something, took a deep breath and pointed to the store in front of him.

“Art cuisine?”

“It is a kind of eye-pleasing dish made by gathering vegetables and other things to make maasae and decorating the ears with maasae. “People are clapping and cheering.”

“Oh yeah? “Do you call that kind of art cooking?”

“Oh, we can also do something artistic and sell a little bit…” !”

“But does that art cuisine taste good?”

“Taste? No, maybe… Does it taste just average? “Is it fun to watch?”

“Cooking isn’t like painting, it’s just fun to look at, so what do I do? If it’s art, it has to be delicious. “You have to be able to master both to be called a craftsman.”

“They just cut off the decorations and put grilled maa meat on top, so it tastes just like maa meat.”

“Then why don’t you come and see as much as you want? We don’t have to do that. We compete on taste. “With taste.”

“Really. “Wouldn’t the judges also give art points?”

“What do you think about these skewers? This shiny appearance. A fragrant scent brought by slightly burnt parts. “Isn’t it an art?”

“… “I really don’t know!”

In the end, Licent quietly picked up the skewer and started eating Wagu Wagu. And then his face brightens.

“There is definitely no comparison in taste!”

“Do you regret it? “Are you thinking about taking a seat somewhere in the middle?”

“no! I have no regrets! “I need to learn your confidence.”

“yes yes. “That’s a good thing.”

“You are truly at peace!”

“That’s my strength.”

Peace in the world.

Isn’t this a word that perfectly describes me? Do you like it? Peace of the World L. Peaceful Ellesion! Hehehe.

“But what’s wrong with your forehead again? “Did you fall while running again?”

My forehead is red? I heard it wasn’t torn and was just red. It certainly looked like he had bumped into someone. Even if I didn’t fall.

“Oh no. Burr bug bites! “I’m not that stupid.”

“A bug? Phew.”

“What’s funny! “It’s red because a bug bit it!”

“oh my. Let’s say yes.”

A dumbass who refuses to admit it until the end! I gave up on arguing. It seems like your body is gradually learning how to avoid getting hurt even if you fall.

Moreover, now they even turn horses around.

“Anyway, wizard, what do you do?”

“Lurin is sleeping. “Inside.”

When Licent pointed to the back with his thumb, he entered the store. If you are quiet, you can hear Lurin’s breathing.

Gororong-! Gororong-!

Gororong pua!

Sometimes the sound is loud.

“This is not it. I’m an idiot. “I don’t like that other guy.”

Then, there is also some inexplicable drool talk.

Yesterday, I ran out crying and soon came back depressed. He jumped up and fell into my arms and just shut his mouth and closed his eyes.

Just because you sleep in my arms doesn’t mean you’re angry at me. And it doesn’t look like it’s sulking. Does it feel like you are blaming yourself?

Since I have never been told the reason, I am a little worried about how to address this.

Licent evaluated Lurin in one word.

“You’re sleeping comfortably.”

Licent expressed his impressions as he watched the person occupying the entire inside of the store and lying down like a king, which did not fit with the line he was muttering about being an idiot.

“It’s exciting… .”

After introducing Ricent as a wizard, Lurin became an object of respect, and that continues to this day.

It’s almost laughable to see Licent’s fuss.

-Wizard, please sit here.

-Wizard, is there anything uncomfortable?

-Wizard, wizard.

However, every time that happens, Lurin asks,

“What are you?” do not do that! Ugh, I hate you! Oooh!

I almost feel like I’m afraid of that kind of recent and I’m avoiding it. He’s a guy who likes to worship himself, but since it’s too much, I’d say he avoids it.

“If you don’t have anything else to do, just wipe the spit. “Because I’m grilling skewers.”

“What are you doing grilling when no one is coming?”

“Prepare for an unexpected situation?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Licent carefully took out his handkerchief and walked towards Lulin, his nostrils flaring.

“But he really hates being touched by others, so I only wipe him with a handkerchief. I touched it for no reason… .”

“yes… ?”

late. Licent had already lost his footing and jumped into Lurin’s chest.

Licent is surprised and looks at Lurin and then at me.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at me with an expression like, “What should I do with this?” There is no way anymore.

3 seconds.

2 seconds.

1 second.

pop-!

“Don’t touch it!”

Lurin suddenly opened her eyes and threw Ricent in her arms onto the store.

Defying gravity, Licent flies into the sky.

“Aaaahhh!”

It will fall soon.

I stopped grilling the skewers and took the recant. Lurin began snoring again, probably in her sleep.

“I thought you were going to die!”

Do you think I threw it at me?

“It’s okay because I’m alive.”

The current time is 10 am.

It is absolutely not time for Rurin to open his eyes. Dragons usually don’t wake up at this time.

Really, just about anything.

“What are you going to do if I jump with all my might when I tell you not to touch it?”

“I tripped… .”

“There’s nothing to trip on, right? “From nothing?”

“I don’t know!”

Licent turned his head, picked up the handkerchief again, and began wiping Lulin’s mouth in a trembling state.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… .”

Lurin is complaining. The eyebrows narrowed and then straightened again. You can tell the difference between human skin and a handkerchief while sleeping.

Of course, even if it was a handkerchief, if I had stroked my face instead of wiping the saliva, I would have freaked out again and let out breath.

Is it safe now that the foreign substances have been cleaned?

Licent himself won’t know until he dies.

Wouldn’t you be embarrassed if you found out that you cleaned the saliva of a sleeping dragon?

While I was imagining something useless, Licent, who had succeeded in wiping off the drool, began to jump up and down.

“I succeeded this time! Ah, wizard… ! “Be graceful even when you drool!”

Then he began to worship, raising the towel he had soaked in saliva to the sky. Holding the towel with both hands, I kneel down while looking at Rurin. It was almost at the level of a believer.

I couldn’t watch so I looked away.

For commoners, there is something romantic about wizards. Still, it’s serious, right?

“uh? “Why is it so loud?”

Licent seemed to have finished worshiping and said as he peeked out of the store.

It was definitely true that the entrance had become somewhat noisy.

“Iknow, right? “I’ll take a look and come back!”

As if he wasn’t going to miss it, Licent started getting ready to run.
