I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With - Chapter 586
586 – Side story) A well-prepared table
One.
A mountainside with an open sky.
Greenery combined with the clear spring weather.
A cool stream of water was flowing gently in a nearby valley.
‘I said there are a lot of things you can experience in this campsite and valley, right? ‘First of all, I’ll fill my stomach and then go out.’
ㅡShoo… !
I was preparing the ingredients under running water at the sink provided in front of the tent, reminding myself of my initial purpose.
‘Everyone has been confined to the academy for so long… … . ‘Maybe they’ll like it, right?’
It was a location chosen with great care.
So that you can build various memories.
As such, there were various facilities around the valley.
In addition to a rafting experience center, there is also a fishing spot, rail bikes, and an open-air sauna made by pumping water from a nearby hot spring.
I had roughly made a plan in my head to create many memories in a short period of time.
“Sonya, Miss Eros? “Can you all help me?”
“of course-! “What can I help you with?”
“I finished setting the table… ! “What else can I help you with?”
Two dragon girls running as if they had been waiting for my call. Eros and Sonya run towards me at the same time.
In particular, Sonya seemed to have a lot of spirit for some reason, unlike at first. As if the person who committed a mistake is desperately trying to make up for it.
“Now, here. “Can you make it exactly like I made it before?”
From noble mtl dot come
“Oh? “Teacher, are you sure you have prepared grilled skewers?”
“that’s right. “It’s a simple task, so you can finish it quickly, right?”
I put a long wooden skewer, rinsed it in water, and blanched the ingredients on a plate and handed it to Sonya.
“By the way, teacher. I know sausage and green onions, but what is this white thing? I feel bad about being squishy… … .”
Eros asks a question, pointing to a white cylindrical object. He said he was in a bad mood and kept poking me with his finger.
“Oh, that’s rice cake.”
“rice cake… ? “What is that vulgar name?”
“I don’t know where it’s offensive, but it’s not a big deal. “It’s a snack made from ground rice dough.”
“Hoo~ A snack made from ground rice? “Isn’t that interesting?”
“Eros? Let’s stop talking now and help you quickly. “It’s not that difficult.”
ㅡTeoup!
Sonya completes the skewers first.
Green onions, sausages, and rice cakes are added in that order.
Two pieces per skewer, in a certain order.
It was like that. ‘Sotteok Sotteok’ was prepared as a snack to accompany a full-fledged meal.
Soon after, Eros follows Sonya and starts making skewers.
“Uhuhu-♡ Sonya. “Isn’t this quite fun?”
“huh? Have you ever been interested in cooking?”
“No, it’s not that, it’s rice cake… … . As I keep touching it, I feel something strange… ♥”
“What? “What kind of nonsense is that?”
“Puh-huh, why don’t you show a straight face~? Rice cakes are rice cakes, but look at this little sausage! “The perverted teacher was probably like this when he was young, right?”
“You, you, you..! “Can’t you be quiet-?!”
“Cuckoo-cuckoo-♡ Why is our Sonya so expressionless~?”
“Everyone… shut up! Are you going to keep doing that?!”
‘… … ?’
I ordered him to make skewers,
All I can hear is the two’s noisy chatter.
I didn’t pay much attention to this.
Although Sonya’s reaction was stronger than usual, this kind of uncharacteristic tantrums happened all the time.
ㅡSsuk ssuk… !
Anyway, I quickly made the sauce to put on the sotteok and sotteok. A seasoning sauce that is easy to make even at a campsite and can be made with relatively simple ingredients.
First of all, the ingredients needed were simple.
Sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, red pepper paste.
Just these four things are enough.
ㅡTaltaltal… … !
Mix these together well in a ratio of 3:2:1:0.5. After that, all you have to do is pour in a small amount of water to mix the seasonings well and boil it in a pan.
Anyway, Sotteok Sotteok is a side dish that goes with the main dish. So there was no need to put in that much effort. Snacks, like snacks, should be easy to eat and easy to make.
“… teacher? “We made it all!”
“teacher! “Is there anything else I can help you with?”
At that moment, it looked like the skewers were ready.
“Now all I have to do is sit back and wait. “It won’t take long.”
ㅡRustly, rustling… !
I sat them down at an outdoor table and took out the charcoal I had purchased in advance. To really light up the grill.
ㅡHowling!
Lighting the fire was simple.
In the past, a torch would have been needed,
I didn’t even need a lighter anymore.
All I had to do was raise the power of the flame from inside my body.
‘Even though it’s a little early, the fireworks lit at the campsite are always full of romance, right?’
-Track! widely… !
Just by applying a little pressure to your fingertips, the charcoal fire burns beautifully.
It is indeed a flame imbued with the power of a fire dragon.
A spark ignites on the charcoal at once.
A deep bright red flame engulfs the charcoal with high heat.
Soon, the black forest turns white and bursts into bright red flames.
‘It seems like the firepower is much stronger than regular charcoal, so let’s try grilling with caution.’
As a test, I first put the seasoned sotteok sotteok on the grill.
ㅡChii Iik..! Grumbling… … !
just as expected.
The outside quickly turns black.
Even the skewers caught fire.
Unfortunately, the first attempt was a failure. As expected, I have to cook it delicately with indirect heat.
“Move over, teacher. “Of course we should help.”
“you’re right! Besides, this wasn’t the only thing you prepared, right?”
“Oh, everyone?”
At that time, the voices of Eros and Sonya intervened.
They come to me and help me.
I had no right to veto.
Sonya, who is weak to fire due to the nature of her clan, spread seasoning on the skewers, while Eros, who is from the fire attribute family, grilled the skewers quite skillfully using only indirect heat. With a face that says it’s not that hot or hot.
They are truly amazing guys.
Even if you don’t tell it to do it, it takes care of itself.
Like best friends, their teamwork works well together.
“Thank you everyone. Thanks to this, I can prepare the main dish with peace of mind.”
“Heh! “Leave this to us!”
“If there is anything else I can help you with, please feel free to let me know!”
I put aside their energetic answers and took out the remaining ingredients.
ㅡRustly… !
Something bright red and thick pops out of the plastic bag. This was beef that I bought expensively from the butcher shop at the campsite earlier.
Appropriate marbling, large shrimp meat, and even the rib bone that hangs at the end of the meat like a handle.
The so-called tomahawk, a part derived from its shape resembling an axe. As expected from Korean beef 1++ No. 9, the meat color is no joke.
‘It’s not a waste of money to see it again like this.’
In the past, I would have just grilled pork neck to save my wallet, but now everything has changed.
Since it was a special time with special people, I wanted to generously show only the good and treat only the good.
ㅡCheep… … !
Salt is sprinkled over the pink meat.
Pink salt similar to Sonya’s color.
After that, black peppercorns are ground and stick to the meat.
Before grilling on charcoal, basic seasoning is enough.
“First of all, since the fire is strong, we need to quickly provide a Maillard reaction on the outside and slowly raise the core temperature separately.”
ㅡChijijijijijik… … !
As soon as the thick meat touches the grill, a clear mark is left. At the same time, the outside of the meat turns caramel-colored and oil drips out.
“Quickly before it gets stuck and burns… … !”
A fantastic Maillard reaction occurs just by briefly turning it back and forth on the grill.
Two delicious steaks that look crispy just by looking at them are ready in less than a minute.
But it wasn’t over yet.
No matter how powerful the fire is,
What was baked now was only the outer surface.
So, the meat inside is still close to raw meat.
ㅡKuuk… !
I gently poked my index finger over the tomahawk steak on top of the bowl. To transmit heat evenly to the inside of the meat.
All I have to do is use my finger as a heating element and quickly spread the heat inside the meat.
It wasn’t much different from lighting a fire. Just a little bit of fire attribute power was enough.
Now, to stabilize the juice, if you buy it in tin foil and rest it for just 3 minutes, you will probably achieve the ideal medium rare.
“teacher? We baked them all… !”
“Cooking in front of a wood fire is quite fun, right? “Maybe I have a talent for cooking?”
It looks like the Sotteok Sotteok team is finished.
It is definitely more convenient as the number of workers increases.
Cooking together is also more enjoyable than you might think.
ㅡTiring!
It was then. For the first time in a long time, the system responds to a dish I made with my own hands.
[Tomahawk Steak – ✮✮★]
[The method of bringing out the flavor with meat is simple. Is there any more classic and ideal meat dish than carefully selected quality meat grilled over good fire? A sirloin with texture. Shrimp meat with a superb chewy texture. Even the chewy and flavorful rib meat attached to the bone. The royal road to meat-eating, neatly completed, is right here.]
[Perfect baking control increases your rating by ★!]
ㅡTiring!
[You can directly grant the desired abilities only to dishes that exceed the ‘✮✮’ level.]
[Abilities exceeding the ‘✮✮’ level can also be applied to the individual.]
‘Oh, it’s over 10 stars… … ?’
System messages appear one after another. I couldn’t check the special message that came with the bonus for reaching 10 stars.
That’s right… … .
ㅡFull!
“W-what..? Also, my body has strength… … ?”
Just like I did earlier down there, a feeling of anemia creeps over my entire body.
Dizziness to the point where it is difficult to keep your mind as well as your center of gravity.

2.
“This, this might be a good thing…” … ?”
“What.. what happened? Sonya, is this really possible?”
A disconcerting voice echoes through the campsite, where people are busy preparing lunch. It was none other than Sonya and Eros’ voices.
“Sir, the teacher’s body has turned into a really small child’s body… … ?”
It was exactly as Sonya muttered.
Seong Ji-hoon was lying on the floor.
And that too in the form of a young teenage boy.
He was wearing clothes that didn’t fit his body and had a distraught look on his face.
‘Wow, it’s a big deal… ! I thought it was an unexploded bomb, but it was activated so late?! If I continue like this, I’ll hear something from Eros again… … !’
Sonya becomes contemplative and anxious due to the sudden unexpected situation.
-Tap! Just… !
Even while biting my fingernails.
Eros wasn’t the only problem.
Although it was something I did impulsively,
Sonya was afraid of what would happen later if everyone found out about her crime.
But that vague feeling of anxiety lasts only for a moment.
“… Hey, isn’t this so cute?! “I can’t believe the teacher has turned into such a sloppy person!?”
“Eh, Eros?”
“Sonia, you were aiming for this? Honestly, I didn’t expect much… … . “It’s against the rules to be this cute!”
“Yes… … ?”
Eros makes a fuss with hearts in his eyes.
It was a simple logic.
I was fascinated by his younger appearance.
Whenever he said something like that to Sonya, he realized that he liked him more now.
“… Tskcha!”
Then, Eros quickly helps the unconscious man out of fear of anyone seeing him. She takes the younger Seong Ji-hoon into the tent.
“Eh, Eros? What are you doing now… … ?!”
“What are you doing? After all this has happened, shouldn’t you take good care of the teacher? I also had some appreciation… … ♥”
Eros makes a sinister look as he places him on the bed provided inside the tent.
ㅡSparring… … .
As Seong Ji-hoon’s body became smaller, he gently removed the loose clothes.
