I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

500 – Side story) The five senses of a gourmet

It was about time I put all the ramen in the bowl.

ㅡTie ring

!

A familiar alarm sound rings.

Exactly in a corner of my head.

For a moment, I thought I had heard something wrong.

But I’m scared to repeat those doubts… … .

ㅡSssuseut… … ! Pot!

‘Gee, it’s a real system message… … ?’

A translucent window appears in front of you.

It was a feeling I hadn’t felt in a really long time.

The system window that came up every time I cooked food came to mind.

I couldn’t help but be surprised by this.

Because there was nothing to do after the Demon Dragon was sealed.

A system message that I thought I would never see again comes to mind.

[With the blessing of the system administrator, Gourmet Feeding will be upgraded to a new skill!]

[Special skill – You have acquired the ‘ Five Senses of a Gourmet’ !]

[Five senses of a gourmet (starting level) – As you are skilled in various cuisines, you can find out detailed information and recipes for new foods just by encountering them. Precise analysis is possible simply by observing with the eyes or feeling the taste.]

[The previous ‘Gourmet’s Feeding’ effect also applies.]

‘… A gourmet’s five senses?’

The first thing that came to mind was not information about food. It was the first skill description window I had seen in a long time.

But a sudden skill upgrade?

This was completely unexpected.

It seemed like the system had been activated again upon returning to Earth.

By the way, it’s possible to analyze food just by looking at it… … . It was definitely a step up from the previous unique skill, Gourmet Feeding.

Moreover, according to the skill description, it seemed like this skill was not limited to the food I made.

‘Could it be that this also qualifies as indirect help?’

As for the translation window that came to Derke,

Maybe this is in the same context.

Seeing as it was clearly stated that the reason for the skill update was the blessing of the system administrator, it seems certain.

Another breeder who was working hard to restore the portal must have taken emergency measures to the best of his ability. When I think of him doing emergency server maintenance, I feel a pity for no reason.

Anyway, thank you, another me!

ㅡTiring!

That was when I was perusing the contents of my new skill, the Five Senses of a Gourmet.

[Steamed Ramen (mild flavor) – ★★☆]

[Essential food for those living alone. A symbol of cheap and easy snacks or hearty meals. The key is the noodles with the savory broth. The soup may seem a bit boring, but it can be said to be the best ramen for people who cannot eat spicy food.]

[This is a food whose recipe has already been learned.]

Familiar messages come to mind after a simple skill description.

“It’s been a really long time… … .”

It’s been almost a year since I looked at the horoscope.

The feeling of being possessed comes back.

The arduous culinary journey that began with one-and-a-half-star coffee cookies comes to mind like a flash.

But only two and a half stars?

This was a bit unfamiliar. No, it was a little harsh.

No matter how mild the taste may be, there are likes and dislikes.

Still, even though it was a ramen full of fundamentals, the evaluation was too poor.

Is this a limitation of instant food?

If it is an objective evaluation, there is nothing much to say.

And perhaps, regardless of the starting level, you may need to slowly increase your proficiency like when you first acquired the ‘Gourmet Feeding’ skill.

“… brother? Why are you doing this? “Is something wrong?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s been a long time since I cooked and ate ramen at home like this… … . “It feels strange.”

“aha… ! “Is this the food you often make alone?”

“that’s right. It’s the best food when you want to fill up a simple meal like this. Above all, it’s easy to make and it’s delicious.”

“I’m even more excited after hearing those words!”

“Okay, let’s eat quickly before the noodles spread.”

ㅡSweet!

I set the table on a folding table.

In fact, there was nothing to call it a table setting.

Well-cooked ramen, spoon and chopsticks.

And because my mother’s version of cabbage kimchi was everything.

“Wow? “What is this bright red thing?”

“Oh, Derke, you’ve never seen it? “It’s kimchi.”

“kimchi?”

“okay. “It’s a little spicy, but it’s good to eat one by one when you want to take a break while eating ramen.”

“I’ve never heard of it! I heard about this from Sonya and Eros-senpai a while ago! I ate it grilled with meat and boasted to Derke that it was really delicious… … !”

“Hehe, you told me that too.”

“But this… It’s good to eat it with meat, but maybe it goes better with ramen?”

“oh? Is that really true?”

“Then~? Anyway, let’s eat quickly. “If I leave it out any longer, the noodles will get swollen.”

“Yep-! Well then, I will eat well… … !”

-Slurp..! Slurp… … !

Derke and I quickly picked up our chopsticks and inhaled the noodles without worrying about who would go first. Because the starving body instinctively craves carbohydrates and sodium.

“Whoa… ! “Is this a mild flavor?”

It’s been a while since I ate it, so it’s very stimulating.

The power of MSG was truly amazing.

The chopsticks move constantly, as if a drug had been dissolved in the soup.

It was impossible to compare the ramen I encountered within a year to other products.

Is it similar to the feeling I got when I was served Yukgaejang cup ramen for the first time during the march during training camp?

If it were like before, I wouldn’t have even noticed the mild taste. I probably found another, more spicy ramen and cooked it.

Anyway, the first time I tasted ramen in a long time, I was just impressed. It was so delicious that words came out of my mouth over and over again.

ㅡCrunchy! Crunchy! Crunchy!

Plus, the cabbage kimchi that came in at every turn was the best side kick.

ㅡTiring!

[Cabbage Kimjang Kimchi – ✮✮]

[Cabbage kimchi imbued with the taste of mother’s cooking. It is cooked well and has a great crunchy texture. As long as you have white rice, you don’t need any other side dishes to make kimchi.]

ㅡTiring!

[The recipe for ‘Cabbage Geotjeori’ previously learned has been updated.]

[Increased understanding of pickled foods and fermented foods!]

‘Ha, what is it? ‘This is 10 stars?’

As expected, I felt like I could appreciate food even if it wasn’t made by me. Looking at it this way, it seemed like the star ratings were fairly objective.

But would you have thought the star rating would be this high?

Well, there’s nothing like mom’s kimchi.

But if there’s one thing I regret… … .

There isn’t much kimchi left now.

I’ll have to call later to say hello and ask for some more kimchi.

“Whoa, whoa..! Hehe, hehe… … !”

“hmm? Derke?”

By the time I had eaten all the noodles,

Derke’s heavy breathing can be heard.

Was the mild taste too much for him?

“… It’s spicy, but I can’t stop eating it! “Kimchi is really spicy, but monga monga… it feels refreshing!”

Derke is sweating profusely and inhaling ramen and kimchi. It’s my first time eating spicy food so well, so I’m shocked.

“… gulp! Jump up!”

This guy even drinks ramen soup from the bowl.

Of course, I couldn’t drink all the soup,

I must have been very hungry that much.

They say it’s spicy and they even drink the soup.

“Haha… ! “It was a good meal!”

“are you okay? “Would you like some water?”

“Umm… Radish, water is good too, but… … .”

“hmm?”

“Ho, if you boil one more thing, you shouldn’t eat it… ? “It’s very addictive, unlike the one Sylvian cooked for me!”

“I guess you liked the ramen? After all, just one wasn’t enough, right?”

“Oh, no, not really, but it was really delicious… … .”

Derke says, ashamed of his appetite.

Derke’s abdomen was still thin. Where on earth has the ramen I just inhaled gone?

“are you okay. Things like that happen, too. “Now that I think about it, I feel like one bowl of ramen isn’t enough.”

“W-As expected..! Detsuyong gets along well with my brother! This time, I’m helping Derke too!”

“No, that’s enough. “There is a simpler way to fill your stomach than having to boil another bowl of ramen.”

“yes? Then maybe some other food… … ?”

“No, just eating the leftover soup with rice is delicious. “I’ll heat up some food and come back soon.”

“Eh..? Doesn’t it take a long time to cook rice? … ?”

I stood up, leaving Derke behind, who was pondering her doubts.

To cook instant rice in the microwave.

-Chuck! Beep beep beep… !

That was when I was putting rice in the microwave and operating it.

ㅡDing dong♪

“… “What is it, at this hour?”

Suddenly, the front door bell sounds.

It is currently late at 9:30 PM.

There was no one in particular who came to my room.

My mother wasn’t the type to just visit without contacting me.

“Oh, brother? What are you talking about this time?!”

“Do you see anyone outside?”

“Are you by any chance a guest?”

“well. I’ll go out sometime. It won’t take long, so don’t worry too much. “I’ll take care of it.”

After calming Derke down like that, I approached the door.

To check the intercom screen next to the front door.

ㅡPaaat… !

On the intercom screen that lit up like that… … .

“what? Why is that guy at my house… … ?”

A woman was standing with her arms crossed.
