I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

573 – Side story) Does it work?

“Hmm, even if it’s for the sake of helping the family, you can freely come into a house where a man lives alone? “This is really careless behavior.”

“S-sorry. But there was no other intention. I heard you were coming to see me, so I wanted to treat you to something… … .”

Two women’s voices are heard from Seong Ji-hoon’s room. It was none other than the sound of a conversation between Sophia and Jeon So-rim.

Although the misunderstandings about cohabitation were resolved well,

Sophia’s attitude was consistently cold.

The color of the halo behind the head was still dark.

“I’m sorry. “I don’t really like flattery that is so obvious.”

“yes..? Oh, I’m not talking about flattery… … .”

“You don’t need to make excuses. It’s obvious even if you don’t look at it. It may be true that he did it to serve food, but it must have been a hasty preparation of a dish he wouldn’t normally do, right? “And that’s to score points for me.”

“… … ?!”

“how is it? “Am I wrong?”

Sophia twitches her chin.

She glances coldly ahead.

He looks down and points out Jeon So-rim and the various foods laid out on the table.

Bread toasted golden brown in butter.

A fried egg with a chewy yolk.

Bacon that is not overly fried.

Sour yet spicy tomato soup.

A refreshing salad topped with a sour balsamic dressing and an apple trimmed into the shape of a rabbit.

These were all breakfasts prepared by Jeon So-rim alone. Of course, I received a little help from Baekryong, whom Seong Ji-hoon attached.

Even in front of Sophia’s cold gaze, white steam rose from the breakfast table. It was a plain, Western-style table setting that felt reassuring just by looking at it.

“”… … .””

But the heavy atmosphere continued.

Sofia is putting pressure hard from the beginning.

She couldn’t look favorably on Jeon So-rim.

‘Even that prickly Rayleigh’s heart is moved…’ … . This woman should not be taken lightly just because she is human. I don’t know what tricks they used against the dragon, but they can’t defeat me either.’

Sophia calms herself down.

The gentle demeanor was nowhere to be seen.

He never let his guard down, examining Jeon So-rim in detail with his sharp eyes and questions.

“It’s a misunderstanding! How can I hastily prepare something I don’t normally do…! “Not at all!”

“ha?”

However, Jeon So-rim also did not back down easily.

“Well, not often, but… … . “I quite like cooking!”

“is that so? But I can’t believe excuses that are just lip service—”

“I don’t know if you’ve heard, but I also served food to Derke and Leylin the other day. And when it comes to cooking, it’s something I’m quite confident in… … !”

Jeon So-rim was intimidated by Sophia’s momentum, but she closed her eyes tightly and continued her counterargument as if she wanted to get over this.

I was not denying that it was an act to score points. It felt like my desire to become friends with everyone was being denied, so I couldn’t just sit back and listen.

“That’s right, Sophia. It’s just as Sorim said. “It’s not like a lie.”

“Hey, honey… … ?”

Seong Ji-hoon, who was sitting next to him, came forward to provide support. For him, there was nothing better than having everyone get along with each other.

“A meal made by my new aunt! “It’s so delicious!”

“Our Somi, no matter how delicious the food is. Can I spill it all and eat it? “Why not?”

“Oh, right… … !”

“What did dad always say you should do when eating?”

“It was said that it was polite to eat cleanly and without making a fuss… !”

“yes?”

“I’m sorry, Dad! The food was so delicious that Somi didn’t even notice… … .”

“Somi, even you… … ?”

Sofia showed a thorough pressure defense, but

It was a lonely fight without allies.

The breeder and Somi were also supporting Jeon So-rim.

“Sophia? Don’t be too hard on yourself, just take a bite. “It won’t be bad.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay..! For the sake of a fair evaluation, Mr. Breeder, please leave for a moment. “I came today as your loyal wife to find out whether this woman is really a good person.”

“Sophia… … .”

Seong Ji-hoon takes a step back when he sees Sophia’s serious face. He shows a bitter expression as he wipes away the stains on Somi’s mouth.

Still, there wasn’t much to worry about.

Because I trusted Jeon So-rim that much.

She wasn’t the type of person to be intimidated this easily.

“Hmm..! Anyway, back to the main topic… … . “How old are you?”

“I am twenty-six this year. “I’m the same age as Jihoon!”

“for a moment. From earlier, Jihoon, Jihoon… … . “I haven’t accepted you as a concubine yet, so please refrain from using nicknames.”

“yes? “This isn’t a nickname, we’ve been friends since we were kids.”

“Ah, anyway, next question! “How much dating experience do you have?”

“Uh, none.”

“that word. “Is this true?”

“yes! Jihoon… no, Seong Jihoon is my first love and first man!”

Jeon So-rim answers Sophia’s next question without hesitation. As if this is easy.

“That’s a pretty bold answer. It’s also an ideal answer. But you don’t know the truth.”

Sophia begins the pressure interview again.

As if she were a mother-in-law.

Normally, a meeting place wouldn’t be this stuffy.

“… yes? “You don’t know the truth?”

“Would you mind giving me your hand for a moment?”

“Why are my hands suddenly… … .”

“It’s no big deal. It only takes a moment. “I have something to check.”

ㅡUgh… !

Sophia places Jeon So-rim’s hand on her palm.

It was for a simple reason. To look into Jeon So-rim’s past through his abilities. I wanted to confirm for myself that I had no dating experience as mentioned above.

-Flash!

Suddenly, a white flash shines, and Jeon So-rim’s past passes by fragmentarily in Sophia’s mind.

‘under? This is surprising. I thought it would be a nice lie to hear. I never thought she was really a virgin… … .’

Sophia, who confirmed Jeon So-rim’s sincerity, thinks to herself in surprise. That’s because most of the records about the opposite s*x have been filled with Seong Ji-hoon from the past.

Sophia had maintained a more pure love than expected.

“Hey sister..? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Is there any problem with my palm… … .”

“Hmph, it’s no big deal. “More than that, you, who told me that it was okay to call me sister?”

“That’s not it… … .”

“Okay, you’re a better person than I thought.”

“yes? yes… !? “Suddenly?”

“is it so. “First of all, let’s take care of the mental conditions… No, let’s move on first.”

Sophia, who was about to say she passed, quickly changes direction.

There are still a few more things left to verify before I can make a judgment.

ㅡRattle… !

With those words, Sophia picks up a fork.

She puts the salad first.

To find out if she has the appropriate basic skills to be a concubine.

So cooking skills, which can be said to be the basics of housekeeping, were also part of the verification.

‘… I’ll find out the other details little by little, and I’ll have to check out your cooking skills. I’ll have to see if it tastes better than the mint rice balls I made for Mr. Breeder.’

ㅡOops… … .

Starting with salad, the main meal was bread, eggs, and bacon. And Sophia tastes apples, which are like dessert, one after another.

“hmm? Ho-oh, hmm!?”

Every time she tastes food, her expression changes moment by moment.

“… Hmm hmmm!”

But in the end, Sophia struggles to maintain a poker face. She wipes her mouth with a tissue as if nothing had happened.

“Hey… how was it? I tried to organize it to fit the diet of that world… … . Does it fit your mouth?”

“Well, it’s not bad.”

Sophia answers while swallowing the expression ‘delicious.’

Actually, it was more than I thought.

It was a simple breakfast food, but

It was a hearty meal without any flaws.

“What you’re saying is that it wasn’t bad… … .”

“It was ordinary, but I still ate well. “It’s amazing that they even took our taste buds, which came from afar, into consideration.”

“Oh, is that really true? thank god… … !”

“Don’t get too excited though. “As a wife, this level of domestic support is a basic skill.”

“Still, I’m honored that you enjoyed it! thank you!”

“ha? “When did I say it was delicious?”

“Oh, of course you didn’t say that, but… … .”

Jeon So-rim stares blankly in front of Sophia, trailing off her words.

Where her eyes stopped, there was only an empty bowl. Contrary to the evaluation that it was ordinary, he ate up all the leftover food.

“Oh, don’t get me wrong! “I’m just hungry!”

Sophia, embarrassed, fanned herself with her hand and looked away.

“”… … .””

Although not everyone said anything in response to this,

Everyone smiled slightly and nodded.

Because anyone could tell that Jeon So-rim liked the food.

“… Anyway, my mouth feels a bit stuffy after eating. “Isn’t there something to console yourselves?”

Sophia changes the topic and looks for dessert.

She looks insinuatingly toward Seong Ji-hoon.

Like a person who has something in his heart that he wants.

“Then we will have finished eating. Should we go outside and eat some ice cream and get some fresh air?”

Seong Ji-hoon catches the true meaning of those words right away. He gets up from his seat to freshen up the mood and suggests taking a walk.

That’s because the reason Sophia came here was not just Jeon So-rim.

***

“Oh my, are you saying these are all ice cream?”

“The colors are colorful! Somi, I want to try all of those at least once… … !”

Not far from Seong Ji-hoon’s house, there is an ice cream shop with a sign saying ’31’.

Two blond-haired mother and daughter are looking at the ice creams as if they are curiously stuck to the display stand.

“If there is anything you would like to taste, please let me know! “I’ll take the order!”

Jeon So-rim was standing in front of the cash register and making payment.

“Somi has this and this! And that too… … !”

As soon as Jeon So-rim finishes speaking, Somi points to the menu with her finger. Four of the six flavors are decided at once.

Naturally, there were no grasshoppers on that list.

Now there are only two flavor choices left.

“Mr. Shaolin? Like adults, we just pick one and call it a day.”

“great.”

Sophia offers generously.

After all, her purpose was only one.

Jeon So-rim also nodded and looked away.

To order your favorite flavor.

“Then I… … .”

“… “I’ll have the mint chocolate flavor!”
