Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 8. Lemon and I

An adventurer’s guild in a village in Salem.

“Could you take on that request? It’s a request from another village, but we couldn’t find anyone to solve it, so the request came to our village. Instead, the reward has increased a little.”

“That’s right.”

“Then thank you, Mr. Lemon.”

I, God Lemon, have decided to live alone in this goddamn world.

“You can hunt Kikiusa, the boss of Kikiusa Forest. Are you going alone?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. The deadline is until tomorrow, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then, please report the completion of the quest by tomorrow. You can do it in our town or in another town. If that’s Salem.”

“Okay.”

It’s already been a month since I left the party.

I am already getting used to living alone.

There will be no more parties.

Because I don’t want to be the first to raise a shield to protect those selfish people.

– Mr. Lemon. Tang please Show the power of nuclear and gold!

– Wow! Lemon seeds hold up well. I don’t need heels. Cash potion is better than heal, right?

– It’s really easy because the equipment is good. Ho ho ho. I wish I had a lot of money I want to be smart too.

People who complimented me from the beginning.

He was very good at lifting people up.

It took me too long to realize that it was all hypocrisy.

‘I was too naive.’

Their eyes roll over when a good item comes out.

I can understand that far.

Because I also wanted to have good equipment.

But those people crossed the line.

– Hmm? You don’t need to distribute items, Mr. Lemon, do you? Because the equipment is good.

– That’s right. We beggars will share this.

– Is it possible to apply for lemon seed mana potion? I have too little mana to heal.

– Mr. Lemon, can’t we just kill the mobs at once while drinking the cash potion? Level up speed is too slow.

Before I knew it, I became a protector to them.

Naturally, they started asking for cache supplies.

But it didn’t matter.

At that time, I was in a mental state where I couldn’t stand being alone.

However, the problem gradually festered, and after being brought to this world, it eventually grew out of control.

– Since the cash shop is gone, even Lemon can’t do much.

– It was all cash items.

– Even when I told them to do a full set of Abyss, they pretended not to know. Looks good

– Our party was bad. What can I do if the water owner is not smart enough?

At first, he started talking about things secretly in front of me.

– Ah! Have a good tang! Why are you so beaten! Can’t you see I’m running out of mana? Buy a mana potion or something.

– You bought it the other day.

– I already wrote it all. Anyway, are you ignorant of the situation that is going back because you are only smart, or are you pretending not to know?

– Hey, you’re a healer, be patient. Because I couldn’t wash the cash potion, my bottom line was exposed. So can you? It’s just being beaten up. You understand How can a person who spends hundreds of thousands of hyeonjil every month know our heart?

– Are we richer than we were brought here? Rich? That is of no use now. You know Lemon?

– ……

– What? Are you crying, Mr. Lemon? Ah… It’s really too much. Then we’re like the bad guys. Why are you crying Is it because you grew up in a rich family?

– Oh f*ck! I hate needlessly crying! You make me depressed too! When I had rich parents, they would have laughed at me if I cried, but there is no such thing here! sh*t!

Between them and me, there was a huge wall that couldn’t fit in from the beginning.

It took me too long to notice that fact.

‘It’s over now…’

After leaving the party, I am surviving on solo play.

Sometimes I get invitations to go to the dungeon because there are vacant tank positions, but I refused all of them.

“Go away. I’m not interested in parties like that.”

That too in a very strong tone.

I did it once or twice, but now no one contacts me.

Well done.

Being alone is comfortable.

In this way, there is no problem in making a living by going around low-level dungeons and carrying out quests if there are any.

Classy restaurants, luxurious accommodations, and glitzy entertainment districts in the city have all become private stories, but it doesn’t matter.

‘I’m alone in the world anyway.’

When I get tired of living like this, I plan to go to the Abyss Dungeon by myself.

If you struggle there, you’ll want to live again without even knowing it, or you’ll be erased from this world without the knowledge of mice or birds.

‘What do I want to do here… And why do humans live…’

[You have entered the forest of Kikiusa.]

I don’t know.

I can’t die, so I just live.

“aaa!”

No matter how much I shout, I don’t feel relieved at all.

* * *

“Watch out Mumu!”

“Shh. It’s okay. If it looks dangerous, just run away.”

Entering the forest of Kikiusa, the two girls stepped a little deeper than usual.

All of this is possible thanks to the uncle’s cooking.

If you are in danger, just run recklessly.

Then the goblins will never follow us.

Mumu slammed her huge broadsword down at the hobgoblin, who was leaning against a tree and snoring at her.

Kkeiui profit!

“Melissa!”

“I’m ready!”

Melissa’s fire magic burns Hobgoblin’s entire body.

The Hobgoblin, who had already cut her shoulder, went mad in place and then slowly collapsed.

“Wow! I took down the Hobgoblin for the first time!”

“Experience has gone up a lot. Awesome.”

Thanks to food, strength increased, as well as stamina and intelligence.

Thanks to her improved survivability as well as her attack power, she managed to kill the Hobgoblin with only two attacks, although she was ambush.

“Look at this… Mumu. Silver ore came out of him.”

“I have to say thank you again.”

“You’re lying. Are you thinking of stealing it again?”

“No! You think I’m Melissa?”

Between the two of them, an unfamiliar shadow approached.

“Kids… Go away.”

“Huh? What is your sister? Are you a summoner?”

Melissa asked boldly.

Lemon glanced at the two with cold eyes.

‘What is this kid? Didn’t you hear me say go away?’

“I don’t know about that. And get in the way of catching the boss, so get out of here.”

Mumu nodded his head at the voice that exuded a strong chill.

But Melissa was different.

“We were also hunting here. Hobgoblins were also the first to succeed.”

“I didn’t ask.”

“Yes?”

Mumu noticed that the summoner was not in a good mood and pulled Melissa’s clothes gently.

She also shook her head.

It meant that you should not incur hatred by talking to me for nothing.

But Melissa didn’t care about that.

“Wow – but what is that armor? It looks very expensive. Is your sister very strong?”

“……”

“The sword and shield are also shiny… Very pretty.”

“Interference…”

“Melissa! You’re getting scolded!”

“Moo-mu, stay still. Unni! But can I watch the boss hunt?”

“Don’t…”

“It’s OK? Wow! Thank you. They say you can do anything.

‘Don’t disturb me, please turn off…’

In the end, Lemon couldn’t say what he wanted to say.

Melissa’s positive attitude made her lose her usual momentum.

‘Chit. Do whatever you want.’

Limited to beginner area dungeons.

There is always a safe zone around the boss area.

There, we refresh our buffs and check consumables.

This is a place where you can check your formation with your teammates before facing the boss.

“If you move even one step here, I’ll kill you. Damn kids.”

“I’ll just watch.”

Moo Moo was amazing by Melissa.

Talking casually with that scary person.

So I asked when the two of us were alone.

“Aren’t you afraid of Melissa?”

“Why?”

“That person looked very angry. He told me to go away. Nervous.”

“They talk, but they don’t. They teach us to look around here in a safe place.”

“Is that so?”

Mumu had an expression that he didn’t know at all.

On the other hand, Melissa took out what she had put in her bag.

“No way…”

“Yes. Let’s eat now. Watching that sister catch the boss.”

“I think you’re going to get angry…”

“It’s okay. If you’re angry, you can share some. The uncle’s cooking is invincible.”

* * *

Some strange kids don’t listen.

I yelled and said harsh words, but it didn’t work.

‘The kids who have nothing to do anymore anyway.’

Just ignore it.

Because I just have to carry out the request.

From far away, the boss of the forest, the mutant goblin Kikiusa, is approaching.

The boss is very powerful, but with my equipment and level, I can hunt it alone.

Kihehehehe!

He found me.

It runs at a tremendous speed.

He threw the spear in his hand.

Empty!

I raised my shield and blocked it.

It doesn’t come off at all.

I will never die in Salem.

From noble mtl dot com

Todeng! Hooked!

Blocked the attack and stabbed the sword.

The boss’s health is like a monster, so you have to repeat this hundreds of times.

‘As expected, being alone is comfortable.’

If you only go around Salem’s dungeon, you won’t die in a world like this.

Even with the tank’s weak attack power, if it’s Salem’s boss, you can eventually defeat it.

‘But does this have any meaning?’

Rumbling-

I suddenly feel hungry.

I am hungry.

Come to think of it, I didn’t fill my satiety level.

Meeting the damn kids, I missed the timing to eat dry food.

‘Damn it…’

Maybe I knew.

Maybe I pretended not to know because I hated eating that disgustingly tasteless food.

[Satiety: 1/250]

[Hunger has reached its peak. Starvation soon…]

.

.

.

[Satiety: 0/250]

[You are starved. All status values are reduced by 90%.]

In an instant, HP decreased by 1/3.

As the health value decreased, the defense decreased, and the rate of stamina decrease was so fast that the strength to hold the shield disappeared.

‘Ah… I could die here.’

This is not a mistake.

Maybe I was waiting for this moment to come.

If you die against a boss in a beginner area.

And if they find out about it.

What kind of expression should I make?

What should we talk about?

I will laugh at you.

You must be sarcastic.

You can clap for good.

‘Ha…’

I’m standing still, doing nothing, but thanks to the expensive armor I bought with cash, I’m still enduring Kikiusa’s powerful attacks.

But now, if I don’t drink the potion…

Maybe I… Will die.

“Sister!”

“…!?”

“Help me? You look dangerous.”

He slowly turned his head.

A girl with a mouth full of food is looking at me with worried eyes.

‘That… What is it? It must be very delicious…’

“Hold on for a little while! If the three of us work together, we’ll be fine!”

Run away.

How will the guys who succeeded in hunting hobgoblins for the first time hunt Kikiusa?

Even with only two people.

“Mumu!”

“Don’t worry.”

Another girl arbitrarily attacked Kikiusa.

He backs away.

But I shouted.

“Just get out of here!”

Then you die too…

Perhaps she didn’t hear me, or if she did but pretended not to, the girl who was still stuffing her mouth full of food came over.

“Are you hungry? Hurry up and eat this.”

What the girl handed was something flat and greasy.

‘Is this a dream…?’

It was none other than pajeon.

‘There’s no way something like pajeon exists in this world…’

“Eat quickly! In the meantime, we’ll be wasting our time.”

There’s no way that’s possible.

“It’s impossible.”

But the girl seemed full of confidence.

“Don’t worry. We run really fast.”

The two girls lured Kikiusa and ran to the other side of the forest.

I stayed alone and looked at the green onion in my hand.

“Smells delicious…”

The smell was so monstrous that it was impossible not to eat it.

Well, well…

Well, well, well, well, gulp.

Blurred eyes.

Tears…

“Huh… Hmm…”

Tears pour out uncontrollably.

I can’t stand it at all.

“Ahhhhh…”

It’s not my favorite food.

But… But… Why does my heart hurt so much…

Why is it so warm…

And why do I miss you so much…

“Ahhh… What is this… Why… Why is it so… Delicious…”

The faces of my parents and younger brother, whom I will never see again, pass by.

Memories that I wanted to forget, but couldn’t forget, burst out like a flood.

Why did you say you ate one that you didn’t like, that you never remembered, that you didn’t miss?

Why am I feeling nostalgic for the past?

The sadness that I had turned away from is flooding me incessantly.

“I miss you… I miss you… Mom… Dad…”

I didn’t want to die.

I want to live.

I want to survive and go back to that place… To my home… To my family.

More earnestly than anyone else.

“……”

With a tear-stained face, he ate the green onion in his hand and ate it cleanly.

It was the most delicious jeon I’ve ever eaten in my life.
