“So… .. A new part-time job?”
“that’s right.”
So Shin-han, who came to work 1 hour and 30 minutes earlier than usual today, widened his eyes when he saw the beautiful woman standing next to Dae-in.
A beauty so beautiful that it makes your sleepy eyes sparkle.
In particular, she had impressive bright red hair and smiled brightly before shaking Soshinhan’s hand.
“hello.”
“Oh yes… hello.”
So Shin-han took her outstretched hand happily.
Perhaps because the other person was such an unrealistically beautiful woman, she trembled even when she lightly held her fingertips.
‘But… I’m seeing this person for the first time, so why does his face look so familiar?’
Soshinhan was soon able to understand the reason for the strange sense of déjà vu.
Lily stuck her head out from a room inside the store and waved.
“Hello Mr. So! good morning!”
“Okay, good morning to you too Lily. uh…? “Li Lili’s face…?”
– Swish.
The moment Soshinhan looked at the faces of an adult and a child that looked exactly alike like a bungeoppang, his mouth widened without realizing it.
His expression looked very confused.
“Perhaps you have a relationship with Lily…”
“Oh, actually…”
She smiled shyly and said to Daein, who was standing next to her, with her arms around her affectionately.
“I’m Lily’s mom.”
“Fuu fuuu!”
“Sister!”
Daein, who happened to be drinking a drink, squirted it into Sosinhan’s face.
When he heard the man’s voice and cried, Lily giggled and patted him on the back.
“Ahaha. Just kidding, I’m Lily’s cousin. Call me Lilith. Please take care of me in the future.”
“…Ah yes. “Please take care of me.”
release.
Although it was a name that seemed to have been made hastily,
Soshinhan did not continue his doubts for long and smiled like a person who has been liberated.
‘That’s what happens at Lim’s restaurant.’
He had experienced quite a few mysterious things that happened here in a short period of time, so he was now able to ignore most of them.
Anyway….
Soshinhan frowned at the foul smell radiating from his body.
“president. “What on earth were you eating?”
Soshinhan wiped his wet face with a towel and looked at Daein.
His face was covered in the sticky liquid that the great man had just expelled.
“Oh this?”
Daein shook the shake bottle he was holding.
There was a confident smile on his face – a very ominous smile from a confident standpoint.
“It’s a special shake made by mixing rotten mandragora and the intestines of a hundred years old spirit creature. “I’m thinking of adding it to the drink menu next month.”
“New menu… yo?”
Soshinhan looked at the bottle Daein was holding with fearful eyes.
Upon entering WHA, Soshinhan overcame most of his fear of monsters and was now growing into a full-fledged superhuman.
However, even though my heart no longer trembled in front of scary monsters, I couldn’t help but tremble in fear when it came to Lim’s Restaurant’s ‘new menu’.
Because…
whenever a new menu was developed, Daein always used him as a test subject.
Sure enough this time too.
“Come here and have a taste. “I’ll make you a strong drink.”
Daein called Sosinhan into the kitchen and said.
“Well, I came back after breakfast and I’m full…”
Sosinhan timidly tried to protest, but as always, it was a story that didn’t work.
“okay? Then, let’s start training in the morning and then eat. After all, it tastes better when your stomach is empty, right?”
“…….”
The reason why Soshinhan goes to work 1 hour and 30 minutes early every morning.
This was because I received personal training from my boss, a retired superman.
The great man turned around and said.
“Change your clothes and come to the backyard.”
Although it is only 1 hour and 30 minutes a day, thanks to this training, So Shin-han was able to maintain mid- to low-ranking grades even among the geniuses in the WHA.
Moreover, my grades were steadily rising, albeit little by little.
‘Because morning training with the boss is more difficult than a day’s training at WHA…’
There was moisture around Soshinhan’s eyes as he looked at Daein’s back.
It was moisture in two senses.
‘He really does give me a favor that I can’t repay even if I spend my whole life…’
Still, being difficult is being difficult and not wanting to eat is something you don’t like.
Daein did not follow right away, but glanced back at Sosinhan, who was dawdling.
“What are you doing? “Aren’t you going to come?”
“Oh no. “That’s not it…”
Daein, who clearly guessed the reason for Sosinhan’s procrastination, said with a chuckle.
“Mr. Shinhan. If training is a hassle, you don’t have to do it in the future. “I’m not doing it for money, and it’s Shinhan’s responsibility to regret it later.”
Daein spoke casually, but every word was deeply embedded in Sosinhan’s heart.
“It was like that during the final exam. I want to become stronger. I want to become strong and protect people. You can stop when you think you are strong enough. “I have no intention of forcing you.”
“…no. sorry!”
Soshinhan, who remembered his regrets and determination during the entrance exam, hurriedly followed Daein.
“president! “Please take care of me today as well!”
“…as punishment for procrastination, today’s training amount is doubled.”
“Huh?! “I said it wasn’t coercion!”
Lilith, who was quietly watching the two people – who looked strangely similar – heading towards the backyard, asked Lily.
“Is that person your disciple?”
Lily tilted her head, saying she wasn’t sure.
“My uncle said no. But I heard Grandpa Cheonma is right?”
“I think it’s true. Anyway, it’s not honest.”
Lilith chuckled.
About an hour later, Soshinhan, whose entire body was soaked from training, took a shower and returned.
On the other hand, Daein appeared without breaking a sweat.
“Then shall we have breakfast?”
Daein went to the kitchen and wrapped himself in an apron.
Lilith looked at this with a nervous expression.
“Wow, I’m strangely looking forward to this…”
However, contrary to Lilith’s expectations, breakfast was prepared as a regular home meal, not a mana nutritional meal.
“uh?”
Lilith looked at Daein with a slightly betrayed expression when she saw the ordinary side dishes, egg rolls, and soybean paste stew that Daein served on the table.
“what? “Did you know you could even make decent food?”
“What on earth do you think of me?”
“…A pervert who likes making tasteless food with strange ingredients?”
“Mana nutrition inevitably tastes like that because of the ingredients.”
Daein snorted and placed the soybean paste stew down in the center of the table.
Even so, I showed off my skills a little more than usual to show the older boy that I had a good time.
“Try it. Because this is my real skill. Even when I go back, I will always remember it.”
“Oh….”
The three people each put some soybean paste stew on their plates.
They looked at each other for a moment, then almost simultaneously scooped up a spoonful and put it in their mouths.
After a moment of silence,
“It doesn’t taste good.”
“It has no taste.”
“It has no taste.”
“…These are real. “This is delicious!”
“Isn’t the structure of your tongue a bit different from that of other humans?”
It was a morning scene that can be seen every day at Lim’s Restaurant.
After the noisy breakfast, Lily, carrying her school bag, jumped out of her seat.
“Then I’ll go to school!”
“kid. I always say this, don’t hit kids. Don’t steal food. Again…”
“Don’t hit me! Don’t take it from me! “Stop nagging!”
Lily went to school, Daein leisurely drank a cup of coffee after the meal, and then started preparing for lunch with Sosinhan.
“Then shall we quickly prepare for business?”
“yes!”
Although Soshinhan was also a student at WHA, he did not go to school with Lily.
WHA operated classes divided into various time zones for students commuting to school at various levels, and So Shin-han, an office worker, was attending classes at night.
“Please take some ingredients out of the refrigerator there. “I also prepare some broth.”
“yes! president!”
The great man mainly gave instructions with his mouth and hands, and the person who walked around and worked was the small minister.
“mister.”
At that time, Lilith, who was standing at a distance, approached Daein and asked.
“Then what do I do?”
“you? Are you really going to work?”
“of course. He’s a part-time worker in name only. “The employees work so hard, so something needs to be done.”
“Hmm…”
The great man looked at Lilith with an untrustworthy expression.
Last night’s release – we agreed last night to call it this name from now on. Since you can’t always call the big kid and the little kid, – decided to stay at Lim’s restaurant for a month and search for traces of Redfinger with Daein.
The large-scale search was entrusted to the WH Group and their friends from other dimensions, so there was no need for the two to move immediately.
‘Part-time job…’
But Dae-in didn’t really intend to use her as a part-time job, so when he asked her to work, he couldn’t think of anything to do.
“Start by doing things like serving or washing dishes.”
“Not such trivial things. “How about cooking?”
“…you? “You’re cooking?”
Lilith smiled confidently at the great man’s untrustworthy expression.
“Maybe I’m better than you?”
“What?”
Lilith passed by the man who was looking at her in bewilderment and went to the kitchen, where she took out an apron and wrapped it around herself.
“Have you forgotten where I come from? Everything you make is an old recipe. “From my point of view, it means tasteless and inefficient cooking.”
With a grin, Lily took out a knife from the kitchen and placed it on the cutting board with a loud thud.
“So, why don’t you leave the kitchen to me for a month? “I will definitely take responsibility for sales.”
“under. “Such a cocky little boy…”
A formidable force bloomed from the body of the provocateur.
His hair slowly rose into the sky, and black magic cluttered at his fingertips.
The kitchen at Lim’s Restaurant was his pride.
“How dare you push me out of this kitchen? “I guess it’s a bit big so there’s nothing you can see, right?”
“I’m saying let’s do it with skill. “Isn’t it better to have a better chef cook it for the customers?”
They had a tense standoff for a while over the position of kitchen owner.
The great man wiggled his eyebrows widely and said.
“good night. I will accept that challenge, kid. “I’ll use my skills to push down your nose so you can’t climb again.”
Lilith was not pushed back by that momentum at all.
“good. Then, how about letting the guests taste it and vote on whose dish is tastier? call?”
“call. “Don’t cry after losing.”
Puzzle!
The eyes of the two people collided in the air.
That’s how the cooking battle began. No, not yet ready to cook….
The two people took up half of the kitchen each and started cooking while keeping each other in check.
-Tadadadadak!
-Roaring!
Several knives flew around the kitchen, chopping ingredients, and flames instantly heated up frying pans and pots.
“Are you stupid? “If I do that, it won’t taste good, right?”
“You’re laughing. “Mine is a newer recipe.”
“Do you think that just because it’s the latest recipe, it’s always good? Listen carefully, kid. “Great cuisine is steeped in tradition.”
“Where is the tradition in mana nutrition? And it’s obvious that you’ve been secretly stealing my recipes since a while ago, right?”
“Who can steal a peek!”
So Shinhan looked at the two people bickering non-stop with a dull expression.
‘The number of part-time workers has increased…. ‘Why do you think things will get harder?’
