I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

601 – Side story) Time limit

Soybean paste and miso.

Food ingredients that are familiar yet unfamiliar to me.

All of these are made from meju, which is made by boiling and fermenting soybeans.

‘The two seem similar, but they taste distinctly different… … .’

The smiles I encountered in Japan were quite gentle.

There was also something mixed with pork fat,

The subtle and savory taste was impressive.

Even excluding the taste of pork broth, the unique and calming scent of miso lingered in my nose for a long time.

If you make stew with miso, it would be perfect to eat with rice in the morning. It was a fermented food with such a light charm.

On the other hand, Korean-style soybean paste was very strong.

The taste and aroma were twice as strong as that of miso.

Of course, the broth that serves as the base and the seasonings used are bound to be different, but even with that, I could feel a clear difference.

-Slurp!

‘… As expected, the soybean paste stew is much richer.’

Even though it was a dish made by adding soybean paste to the soup, there was a big difference in the fluffy texture and rough taste that you could feel on your tongue.

‘Maybe this is really possible… ! Maybe we can create something that can contain special abilities like the beginning… … !’

With a flash of realization, the things I wrote down in my notebook earlier suddenly come back to life and pass through my mind.

「1) Special broth made with soybean paste. “There is an urgent need to develop a soybean paste-based sauce.”

Item number 1 had just been resolved.

Broth based on miso and soybean paste.

An instantaneous recipe comes to mind.

This is the special sauce that will be applied to the new noodle dish.

「2) A cool, yet deep and clean soup.」

The second item also has a direction.

The soup didn’t have to be hot.

This is an item that is linked to item number 1.

I was able to get inspiration thanks to the cold buckwheat noodles I ate earlier during the day.

What kind of flavor will come out if you boil the cool yet deeply flavored broth, let it cool, and mix it with the soybean paste-based sauce made above?

Hundreds of recipes and new combinations come to mind in real time. Numerous possibilities make my desire to create boil.

「3) The last thing left. Shape of cotton… … .」

Now only one last piece remained.

The answer may lie in Japan, the home of ramen.

I want to fly again right now, even by myself.

To solve the last clue.

‘This time, I feel like I can do it on my own without any guidance. If just the last piece comes together, you will be able to create a masterpiece faster than the wind… … .’

ㅡHowling!

A tailwind called confidence blows deep within my heart. At the same time, the fire of passion heats up. As if a dormant charcoal fire is burning again.

good! That’s enough for now!

Almost all ideas came to mind!

If this is possible with just my strength… … !

“Thanks to the food I just ate, almost the entire puzzle came together! And I’m sure with this, I might be able to return my original body to its original state!!!”

“… Sylvian? What does that mean all of a sudden?”

Shicho asked a question with a surprised expression on my face.

“Cooking to restore the body to its original state..! “Maybe we can make it faster than you think!”

“what? Could it be that this soybean paste stew was a reference?”

“Yes! Thanks to this dish called soybean paste stew, gastronomic inspiration came to me once again. So, girl… … ?!”

ㅡCheoeok!

After explaining this to Sicho, I held onto the hands of a human woman wearing black mourning clothes. Regardless of the superior/subordinate relationship between wife and wife, I had a personal request to make.

“Yes.. four? Me? “Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“I know it’s shameless to do this at a funeral, but can I ask you a favor?”

“If you do me a favor… … .”

“It’s nothing else… … . “Can I share a little of the soybean paste used in this soup?!”

*

Is it thanks to the introduction of miso ramen in Japan earlier?

I never imagined that Sylvian would be inspired by soybean paste stew, if nothing else.

“Thank you so much! To readily give away ingredients that are no different from the deceased’s legacy… ! “It’s touching!”

In the end, Sylvian, who received the soybean paste from Jeon So-rim, repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

“It’s so moving… … . It’s no big deal. “I guess I just gave as much as I could to my guests, according to my grandmother’s will?”

“Is that really the case? Anyway, thanks to you, I feel much more at ease.”

“Hehe, I heard we might be able to return Jihoon’s body to its original state with this, so of course we should cooperate!”

“This is the right mindset for a woman from the beginning! Later, when things are completed well, I will personally say hello to the deceased!”

Sylvian looks more satisfied than ever. She assures with a voice as loud as that of a boss.

“yes? “Would you like to say hello to my grandmother?”

After we finished eating,

We went outside and were talking.

In a corner of a parking lot with few people.

“Of course. “If you want to say thank you, you have to say it to yourself properly!”

“But how…” … .”

Sylvian was very happy to receive the rich soybean paste in a small glass bottle. While expressing his gratitude to Sorim over and over again.

“… hmm! While you are saying hello, it would be nice if you could also give him a suitable repayment. Come to think of it, there are more than one thing that needs to be taken care of. “I need to hurry up and do this.”

Despite Sorim’s incomprehensible response, Sylvian was smiling with satisfaction, muttering to himself what was so exciting.

“Hey, sister? “I don’t know what it is in return, but you don’t have to do it—”

“I have nothing to decline. No matter how much you are the original wife, it is natural to repay any help you receive. And you don’t have to worry too much. “It’s not that big of a deal.”

“Ahaha… Is that so?”

“Did you say Jeon So-rim? “I would like to give a small repayment to your entire clan.”

“Yeah… ? Repay my entire family? Unless it’s something grand… … .”

“Heh, we’ll probably find out the details as soon as tonight.”

‘Silvian, what have you been thinking about since a while ago?’

The conversation continues just between the two of us, excluding me.

Sylvian says he will repay the soybean paste.

Jeon So-rim tells him to leave it alone, saying it’s done.

The friendship between the wives already seems to be strong.

“… More like Sylvian? Are you really okay by yourself?”

It was a warm-looking atmosphere, but

I couldn’t hide my anxiety.

That’s right… … .

“Don’t worry, Sicho. What do you think of the dragon race? “I can travel to Japan on my own.”

Sylvian says he will go to Japan alone.

To cook food for me.

He says that if he finds the ‘last piece’, he will be able to make a special food or something?

“No matter what, it won’t be easy to get used to it because it’s your first time here… … .”

“Of course, I understand your concern for me. I also feel bad about leaving my childhood behind… … .”

Sylvian trails off and looks away. She focuses behind me.

“… “Isn’t there a trustworthy wife here by your side?”

Then he points to Sorim, who was standing behind me, and grins.

“ah..! that’s right. “Jihoon, don’t worry and come back with peace of mind.”

Sorim responds as if he had made a promise. And it wasn’t just that.

-Wow!

“… What?”

Jeon So-rim hugs me from behind and tells me not to worry. Perhaps because her body has become smaller, her arms feel even wider and softer today.

“good night. “Then, I will leave safely.”

-Fly!

With a confident smile,

Sylvian spreads his wings behind his shoulders.

Her appearance reflected in the moonlight looked like an angel had descended.

“… And the beginning? If anything happens, I will contact you through the ghost. “I won’t make you wait long.”

ㅡSssuseut… … !

She disappears after leaving those words.

Only Sylvian’s afterimage remained in the air.

It probably moved by moving its wings at the speed of sound.

It was so fast that my young body couldn’t keep up with it.

“Well, you really are a dragon… … ?”

Jeon So-rim mutters while looking at Sylvian’s afterimage. She waved her hand toward the afterimage with an expression of disbelief.

“… “Well, nothing should happen.”

Before Sylvian left, he gave me the yen I had exchanged during the day and an emergency card, but I couldn’t help but feel worried. Because it was a modern society with a completely different lifestyle from the Drango continent.

“Don’t worry too much. You’re a dragon by name, so what’s going on? “If it’s really urgent, please contact me.”

“That’s right, but… … .”

“I’m sure it’ll be okay. And you should believe and support me when I say I will do my best for you, not for anyone else! Wouldn’t that make Sylvian feel at ease too?”

“… That’s right. “After listening, I realized you were right.”

My head nods at Sorim’s words.

There is something else to worry about… … .

With a body like this, who cares about whom?

Sylvian has been wandering alone for nearly 500 years. Could it be that something special has happened?

“Okay, if you understand, let’s go in quickly.”

ㅡSlap!

Jeon So-rim reassures me and holds my hand.

Her hands feel unusually large.

This is the first time that Sorim has felt so dependable.

“Hey.. but Shaolin?”

“huh? “Why would our cute little Jihoon do that again?”

“No, don’t tease me… !”

“Ahaha! Sorry sorry. “When I looked at it, I thought it was so cute.”

“Tch, by the way… … . “I guess I have to go back.”

“huh? what? “Are you saying you’re going to go home alone now?”

“okay. You have to keep your position, right? And I can’t stay here forever either. So, since I was already out, I took a taxi home… … .”

That was when I said that I would go back alone.

ㅡKnock knock!

Suddenly, a messenger alarm rings on my phone.

“… what?”

The sender of the message is… … .

[Mother: Jihoon, are you eating well? If nothing else, I heard the news of Sorim’s grandmother’s death and am planning to return to Korea with your father within two days. therefore… … .]

It was none other than a message from my mother.

He is returning from an overseas trip in a hurry.

To attend the funeral, albeit belatedly.

‘But wait… … .’

You’re coming back in two days?

This happened.

Is it possible to go back to normal in just two days? … ?’
