Raised the Villainous Daughter and Ran Away

Side Story II. A Course Meal Treated by a Transferor Who Walked the Golden Road

The top floor of Jang Jong-won’s hotel.

A lounge with a lively atmosphere filled with dark colors and a mysterious feeling.

A snowflake-shaped crystal chandelier sparkled on the ceiling, and antique tables and sofas were placed here and there.

Since Jang Jong-won’s specialty is cooking, there were also cooking facilities.

After enjoying the tour, the sun began to set and I returned to the hotel. The manager personally guided me here, saying it was the chairman’s order.

“It’s probably because it’s the top floor that it can’t be compared to the other floors.”

Frances said, looking around with her eyes slightly open.

“I think it was made for special guests.”

Since you said you were expanding your cultural business globally, you must have had a lot of opportunities to meet with dignitaries from various countries.

‘For example, royalty.’

Influencing the culture of another country is an act that goes against the will of the privileged class, like spreading religion, because it can be seen as a process that changes the perception of citizens.

There is a reason they say cultural victory.

As such, there are many reasons why it is not easy to do cultural business targeting the entire world, but Jang Jong-won seems to have overcome this well.

‘Sales were originally called entertainment.’

I guess they are from Korea on Earth, and their way of doing business is the same.

“I, am I allowed to be in a place like this…?”

Helena asked, her voice stammering. Her shoulders were shaking, showing her anxiety.

“Don’t worry too much. Helena is just receiving compensation for her service to Frances. She is no longer a maid hired as a servant, but one of our party.”

He said it with a smile. I hope this will put you at ease.

“Is that so? Then I can feel a little more at ease…?”

“Of course,” he said, nodding. Only then did Helena’s stiff body relax a little.

“Hmm, that’s interesting. It wouldn’t have been easy to create such a high-level pattern with crystals.”

Kazar, who was looking around the lounge carefully, put his hand on his chin. He has a habit of always investigating the environment wherever he goes.

“I see? The craftsmen of the France Corporation run by the Duke will also have a hard time.”

Dahlia’s eyebrows twitched as Ladea intervened.

“…France Corporation… … .”

You’re getting that name too. The other kids are used to it now so they don’t really care.

It was a time when we were all sitting together and just chatting about small things.

The doors of the magic elevator split open and Jang Jong-won appeared. I immediately got up from my seat and approached him.

“Sorry, the deadline is a little late.”

“There’s no need to apologize.”

It wasn’t like we had made an appointment to begin with. I smiled and stood next to Jang Jong-won.

“This is my friend Jang Jong-won. He is the owner of this hotel.”

When he heard his name, Kazar’s eyes widened.

“Jongwon? Are you the Jongwon from the Jongwon restaurant that used to fill Pantheon Street?”

Pure white hair and bright red eyes that seemed to be bathed in the moonlight of Kazakhstan. Jang Jong-won was speechless, his mouth wide open as if he was enchanted.

“…Jongwon?”

When I quietly muttered in his ear, Jang Jong-won shook his body and shook his head.

“Oh, that’s right! They’re all taken from my name!”

A strangely spirited answer. How weak in front of a beautiful woman.

“You’re amazing. You run all these delicious restaurants and even have this big inn.”

Dahlia chuckled. Jang Jong-won stopped breathing with a bright red face.

I know that the women in our group are of extraordinary beauty, but I don’t think it’s to this extent…

‘… Is this kid a virgin?’

He placed his hand on his chin, his eyebrows furrowed. It seemed to make sense.

He was in his early twenties when he was transferred to this world. He had to work like crazy to survive here, so he probably didn’t have a chance.

Although looks aren’t everything, his exotic looks may have also played a role.

“Jongwon, come to your senses.”

I tapped Jang Jong-won on the shoulder and whispered in his ear.

“Uh, uh, uh.”

A series of stupid answers followed. I continued.

“You have to tell us why you brought us here.”

“Oh, oh. That’s right. Oh, that’s right.”

Jang Jong-won shook his face from side to side. It was so violent that he could see afterimages.

“Big, ahem.”

He cleared his throat with a dry cough, as if he was very nervous.

“Oh, nice to meet you! I’m Jang Jong-won, who happened to be a strategist… no, a close friend of Jin’s! I invited you here to celebrate your wedding so that you can enjoy the famous Pantheon dishes yourself!”

Fortunately, the introduction is over, but is it okay for me to be this embarrassed?

“Ahem! I will personally prepare the meal for you! I am the head chef of the Pantheon, a 5-star chef, so you can look forward to it!”

I chuckled and rubbed Jang Jong-won’s shoulder. He was so nervous that his shoulder was stiff as a stone.

“You can take it easy. We’re on the receiving end.”

“Yeah, yeah… … .”

Only then did Jang Jong-won nod his head and catch his breath. His face was still red.

“Then… I’ll prepare some food, so please enjoy the games over there.”

In the places that Jang Jong-won pointed with his hand, there were various entertainment facilities such as billiards and darts.

“thank you.”

“I’ll be looking forward to it!”

“If you’re a five-star chef, you’re a royal chef… … .”

“That’s amazing.”

As the group looked at him with admiration, Jang Jong-won stopped breathing again. This is secretly annoying.

So everyone walked away and went to enjoy their entertainment. I went towards the kitchen with Jang Jong-won.

“Who is your wife?”

“The one with red hair and green eyes.”

“Oh, I see.”

Gulp. Jang Jong-won’s throat felt heavy.

“They were all beautiful… especially the one with the obsidian-like hair and the eyes that shined like sapphires… … .”

You’re talking about Helena.

“Helena is the head maid of our family.”

“Who has white hair and red eyes?”

“Kazar. A transcendent wizard of the Pedelian Empire.”

“A super, transcendent wizard…?”

Suddenly, cold sweat began to flow from Jang Jong-won’s temples.

To us, Kazar is like a friendly neighborhood wizard, but as a transcendent wizard, he is a big name on the continent… … .

“Then, what about the white-haired man?”

“Kale. The one called Baek-gwi. He is the knight commander of our family.”

“The person with gray hair and a gentle impression…?”

“… I can’t introduce you to that person due to circumstances. Just know that she is an ordinary daughter of a noble family.”

Even though Jang Jong-won was my close friend, I couldn’t tell him Dahlia’s true identity. She was known to the public as a saint who was executed by me.

“Who is the woman with black hair and red eyes? I think she’s my sister.”

“Radea. The vice-captain of our family, and the younger one is Laia.”

This concludes the introduction.

“… I can definitely feel that you are a former member of the royal family and the husband of the Duke of Descartes.”

I nodded at those words. As I was introducing them, I felt that, except for Helena, the group was made up of big names.

“Take it easy. We’re just friends.”

“okay…….”

The conversation was brief. When it was time to start cooking in earnest, Jang Jong-won closed his lips.

His arms moved so fast that they left an afterimage. Vegetables and meat were sliced ​​in an instant. I could see how he survived in this world.

“Go and have fun. I’ll treat you to a sumptuous course meal.”

Shh. Jang Jong-won smiles, revealing his pure white teeth. As he starts cooking, his previously timid shoulders straighten up.

“okay.”

I smiled and walked towards where my group was.

“Oh, Your Majesty! You just used magic?!”

“What does that mean?”

“The black thing moved the ball?”

“There’s no way I would do something so cowardly.”

“How can you be so shameless…!”

“Should we just let it go…?”

Kazar grumbles and argues. Dahlia tries to stop him. Frances tilts her head and raises her eyebrows. They are enjoying playing pocket ball.

‘Let’s enjoy this.’

When I turned my head, someone next to me was playing darts.

“Radea, is that all you can do? You’re wasting the title of Sword Master.”

“Be quiet! I’m concentrating right now!”

Bam. The dart flew in a parabolic arc and hit the edge. Kale burst out laughing.

“Haha! Puhut. Let’s do something else. This… seems like it’s going to be too one-sided.”

Ladea was trembling with her veins raised. It was really awkward for her to be teased by Kale.

“Cheer up, Sister. There are things even a Sword Master can’t do.”

“Yes. Everyone has something they can’t do.”

Helena and Laia, who had hit the center of the dart, patted Ladea on the shoulder and comforted her. The sight of her looking even more miserable.

‘That’s okay too.’

I sat leisurely on the central sofa. It was a peaceful, if not heart-warming sight.

It was at that time that I was watching everyone with a happy smile.

“Everyone! The first course is here!”

Jang Jong-won prepared a meal for us. The first dish was a soft steamed egg that was light and comforting.

“It’s so soft!”

“Hmm. Sweet things aren’t really my style… … .”

“Wow, is this dessert? It looks like an egg?”

“It’s delicious. It’s a unique dish.”

Different reactions from each person. Still, it was well received.

“Okay, next one.”

Jang Jong-won’s course meal continued without stopping.

Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Western food. His course menu featured dishes from all over the world, regardless of the East or the West.

“These are the types of alcohol. Choose the one you like.”

When the alcohol arrived, Kale accepted the glass with sparkling eyes.

“This is the liquor the Duke was talking about.”

“Okay. Try it.”

Kale chuckled and tilted his glass.

“oh.”

“What is it like?”

“It’s really unique because it’s spicy yet sweet.”

Cale slowly nodded and asked.

“What is the name of this drink?”

Jang Jong-won answered with a sly smile.

“Ahhh – that’s called ‘Makgeolli’.”

“Oh, is it makgeolli?”

“Yes. It’s a traditional liquor that only exists in my hometown.”

“Do you have any other drinks?”

“Ahhh – this time it’s ‘sake’.”

“Sake?”

Kale shakes a clear glass. Jang Jong-won raises one corner of his mouth.

“It’s a drink that you can drink hot or cold. When something good happens, you drink it hot. When something bad happens, you drink it cold.”

Kale’s eyes lit up as he found the story interesting.

“Wow. Drinking alcohol in that way. What a fascinating culture.”

I think they fit each other well, so let them enjoy it. I asked Frances.

“How does it taste?”

“Basically, everything is delicious.”

“Which one do you like the most?”

“Well… I don’t really have a specific taste in food.”

Frances shrugged her shoulders and showed an ambiguous reaction. It was natural that she would be indifferent to gourmet food after having had a difficult childhood.

The only thing she enjoyed was black tea… … .

‘Still, I hope you discover the joy of gastronomy this time.’

Frances smiled faintly, holding my hand, as if her expression showed that she was exhausted.

“They’re all delicious. Thanks for bringing me.”

“Then that’s fortunate.”

He met her gaze and smiled for a moment, but then Jang Jong-won shouted loudly.

“Now, the long-awaited main course is here!”

“Oh!”

“Then what have you eaten so far is appetizing?!”

“This is my first time eating something this delicious… … .”

It was a lounge where laughter never stopped because of his cooking.

It was a good decision to come here.
