Part 2 Chapter.4 Side Story – Summer in Gray City

“Why are you busy again? We really need to improve! Because it’s fun.”

Lurin woke up without feeling El’s warmth at all, so she jumped under the bed and stood on the ground with both feet.

And then I take off my pajamas and throw them on the bed. Cleaning up is the responsibility of the Luruns.

“Rurururu lurulun!”

When I go to wash up, the Luruns start making a fuss. Because the owner has woken up, he needs to get dressed. Rurin goes to the sink and washes the cat’s face with a plop, saying she won’t even look at El, and starts walking again.

Then, the Luruns order clothes, and Lurin chooses the clothes she likes among them.

“today… “This is because it’s annoying.”

What does irritation and pink clothes have to do with anything? Rurin picked out clothes and started to wear them, feeling gloomy. The Luruns then step back.

There was a time when I tried to get him dressed and he got very upset. LuLun hates the monsters that guard her house, and even the female LuLun who dresses them up.

L is the only one who dresses him in his own clothes. So, if you don’t have it, you have no choice but to wear it yourself.

“Lurururun! Lululun!”

The Luruns make gestures with their hands and feet and say something to Lurin. It’s about small things like rare temperature and things like that. Lulin nodded and answered roughly before heading up to the restaurant.

As I walked up the stairs to the restaurant, I felt the heat. It’s completely different from Rare’s air.

“Ugh. hot.”

As she went up the stairs to the restaurant, the heat enveloped Lurin. If what I felt on the stairs was the heat, it was almost like a heat storm above the restaurant.

I don’t like being hot. That is a natural sentiment. However, despite the heat, Lulin did not go down to Rare until the restaurant was over.

This is because watching my husband work helps me overcome the harsh conditions of the heat. Now that I’m up, I’m puffing out my cheeks so I can see L’s face, but I look around the restaurant anyway.

But L is not in the restaurant because he went to the market.

“hot! Hot hot hot hot! It’s hot. Where’s my husband? Ugh.”

Lulin grumbled once again, drooping like an orchid leaf shriveled in the heat. Since he didn’t come to wake me up, I thought he had gone to the market or the castle, but when I confirmed that he wasn’t there, I guess it was just an expectation and the puffiness in my cheeks only got bigger.

Like a balloon about to burst.

“bad.”

In the end, Lulin kicked the soles of his feet on the floor and took a deep breath.

Then there is nothing we can do. I have to go back to the cool rare again. Rurin thought like that and moved. But soon he stopped and stroked his stomach.

“It’s hot, so I’m going to go to Rare and have a beer. No husband! “She’s a drinking wife!”

Lurin spoke loudly as if she was complaining directly to L, even though no one was listening, and stomped over to the refrigerator.

Lulin approached the refrigerator, burning with a desire to make him pay for his displeasure by bringing a bunch of beer, but stopped before opening the door.

“uh?”

I found something to eat in the kitchen. Since I wasn’t going to be gone for a long time, I didn’t prepare a meal like before, and the bibim noodles that I had left behind while I was making them were sitting there.

Lurin was very interested in the fact that she was going to eat, so she moved to the kitchen.

“What is this?”

Lurin’s eyes caught the sight of red sauce and freshly made buckwheat noodles.

There are no vegetables, meat or other toppings, just seasoning and noodles, but to Rurin, it just looks like a dish.

However, thanks to the red seasoning, Lurin was a little startled. This is because I have been hit by red things a lot. In the past, there was a huge fuss over the Buldakbokki O noodles. It was so spicy that my breath blew out.

L even called Buldakbokki O noodles the ramen that kills dragons.

Therefore, Lurin showed a wary expression. However, the memory of how delicious the red one was also revived in my brain.

Therefore, for Lulin, red dishes are always polar opposites.

“Anyway, I can’t figure out what’s red. “The red one is the problem.”

Lurin shook her head and carefully smelled the marinade, as if the red thing reminded her of a red dragon.

Sniff.

There wasn’t much of a spicy scent to smell.

“So, are you mixing this red stuff with these noodles and eating it? “It’s similar to that ramen thing.”

Grumble.

Besides, I was hungry to think about this and that. Still, because I was so afraid of spicy chicken noodles, I didn’t let my guard down completely and carefully dabbed the seasoning with my little finger.

“Oh oh?”

The seasoning, which was salty yet well balanced with the sourness of vinegar and the sweetness of sugar, woke Lulin up from his still dazed mind. Lurin blinked at the effect and looked at the sauce where her little finger had been stamped.

“It’s not spicy. It looks delicious. Is it my food? Being kind, I eat it. “Mmmmm.”

Lurin nodded to herself, then turned around and walked back to the refrigerator. And then he put a beer can in his mouth. I’m going to eat something, and since I feel the heat, I can’t miss a cold beer.

Then, holding a bowl of seasoning sauce in one hand and a plate of buckwheat noodles cooked for the experiment in the other, Lurin walked down to Rare very carefully so as not to let the plate fall because she was hungry.

If it’s not hot, it’s okay to eat it stretched out on a restaurant table, but now it’s different. A restaurant without Elle, or even this hot world itself, is a place where Rurin does not want to stay even for a second.

Lurin came down to Rare after gathering food and walked to the main room of Rare, satisfied with the cool air of Rare. Coincidentally, the Luruns who had finished their work were eating there.

“Are you going to eat?”

“Rururu lurulun!”

Lurun and others nodded. They looked embarrassed because once they went to the restaurant, they didn’t come down until dinner, but Lurin shook her head.

“Okay. Eat. Because I’m going to eat it too. “El went somewhere today.”

“Rurunrurun rurulurun.”

Luruns nodded and Lurin sat down next to them and opened a can of beer. And then he took a gulp first.

“Wow, it’s cool! It’s really hot outside. “You must never go up there.”

Lurin was once again fed up with the heat and took a sip of the beer can next to her and picked up her fork.

“Hehehe.”

Smiling, I pour the seasoning sauce onto the plate. First, I added just the right amount and started stirring it with a fork. I tasted it, but I still have a fear of red things, so I won’t do something stupid like throw all the seasoning on it! Thinking to myself.

“however… Anything else? “He’s a boring guy.”

Lurin expressed doubts about the existence of other famous names. That was all there was, so whatever. Lurin, who mixed it with a fork, created unfinished mixed noodles.

Next to me, the Luruns are eating truffles. It is an expensive mushroom called the diamond of the mushroom world and is also called truffle.

It was already discovered in the northern lands that Luluns were monsters specialized in finding truffles.

Therefore, the Luruns who were eating with their mouths open as if they were cutting black truffles with their teeth tilted their heads in response to Lurin’s question.

Of course, they were talking to themselves, but it was because they thought they were talking to themselves.

“Lurururun rururunrun!”

“uh? Anything else? What. I didn’t tell you. “I eat this.”

After saying that, Rurin opened her mouth and slurped the mixed noodles into her mouth.

It was very appropriate to add only half of the seasoning sauce. Because that sauce was definitely not for one person.

“it’s good! Oh what is this? Sour yet sweet taste. However, this side still has a firmness. This is also noodles made by L. Hi-Hi.”

“Lulun?”

The only person listening is Lulun. Those Luruns are just putting question marks on their faces again.

“No!”

After yelling not to worry about it, Rurin started inhaling the noodles again. After eating more than half of it, he looked at the truffle that Lurun was gnawing on with a look of regret.

“It doesn’t taste good if you just eat it… . “I think it was definitely good when added to pasta.”

Recalling the memory, Lurin stretched out her hand toward the Luruns.

“Is there anything left?”

Truffles are something that Lurun people pile up and eat. Thanks to Lurin, I teleport to the northern plains once a week and collect a large number of truffles.

“Lurulun Lurulun!”

He answered that there were Luruns and approached Lurin with a truffle. Rurin withdrew her hand again and pointed to the spicy noodles.

“I wish you could cut it into pieces and put it in here.”

“Lurulun! Lulun!”

Whose order is it? This is the order of Dragon, the king of monsters. The Luruns quickly brought out a knife and began to slice the black truffle and throw it into the spicy noodles. The black exterior and white interior are sliced and fluttered over the bibim noodles.

“thanks. Hehe, there’s something that’s bothering me now. oh? “Something smells better?”

Rurin put the truffle mixed noodles into her mouth with a look on her face as if she had made an amazing discovery.

The truffles growing in this northern region are a bit different from those on Earth.

It’s a little blacker, a little whiter on the inside, and the taste is much better than the one that Lulun likes to eat.

That’s why bibim noodles were born, which are incomparable to just eating them. The buckwheat and seasoning sauce began to come alive in my mouth as the unique scent and truffle came together.

This is how the truffle mixed noodles were born, which helped Laine, who had been bedridden sick, wake up in one go, boosted the strength of the Gray boy, and was distributed free of charge in the square to the citizens of Gray who had lost their energy.

The person who developed the dish slurped up the bibim noodles without thinking.

Without even noticing that the originally attractive lips of pink and red mixed together were turning even redder.

Then, he ate all the buckwheat noodles in an instant and brought the remaining beer can to his mouth.

“Oh oh. “It’s still cool.”

And big! While repeating, he drank all the beer left in the beer can and jumped up.

“I want one more can.”

But when you go up to the restaurant, you have to fight the heat. After thinking for a moment, Lurin quickly went up to the restaurant again. For some reason, I felt El approaching.

I’m going to pick up a beer. Considering the heat, I’m having a hard time deciding whether to go or not, but the fact that L is coming back is a completely different story.

Rurin goes up to the restaurant. Thanks to the running, sweat trickled down my forehead, but I wiped it away and ran out of the restaurant.

As expected, El was coming from far away.

I wanted to beg for compensation for letting her wake up alone in the morning, but once I saw L’s face, I started waving my hands wildly.

“Honey, when did you wake up?”

El answered from afar, and Lurin began to laugh, not noticing her lips that were still turning even redder.
