Part 2 Chapter.9 Chef on the Battlefield

***

“Honey, I asked you to take care of your place, but you came running right now?”

“It’s not? “I did everything I had to do!”

Lulin shouted confidently. The cute, tightly clenched hand was claiming injustice.

“really?”

Nod nod. Lulin nods strongly again. Because it was really grilled!

The two people arrived at the kitchen like that.

“I didn’t bake a single thing. No, before that, where did all the Secun mushrooms go? ate?”

Lurin started flipping around the grill with a surprised look on her face at El’s words. But there isn’t. There was none. Even though I looked at the grill and looked through the bushes next to it, there were no mushrooms.

“It was clearly baked. It wasn’t completely baked, but it was still baked! “I obviously baked it and left it here, but where did it all go?”

It was strange. Lurin was dumbfounded. Because there is nothing that should be there.

“Are you hungry?”

“Even if I’m hungry, I won’t eat anything like that!”

When Lurin thought of the sour taste of Secun mushrooms before they were roasted, he shook his head.

“Then you didn’t want to burn it so you burned it?”

“Ugh! It really isn’t! It is unfair!”

“hmm. really?”

“Yes!”

“Then what did the wild dog bite?”

***

“I got it! “They say they succeeded in stealing it!”

“Oh really?”

Just yesterday, we were defeated by the strength of Gray’s soldiers. No, in fact, not only that, but he was completely defeated by the strategy designed by El, but Duke Reich did not admit that fact.

The reason he lost was because of the strange food that strengthened the soldiers’ abilities.

Because I could never admit that I was defeated in a head-to-head fight by the young Count.

“Then call the chefs right away!”

“yes!”

Instead of being an army cook, a cook directly under the duke was called. The duke passed mushrooms in front of them.

“Take a look. Do you know what this is? “It looked like a mushroom.”

At the Duke’s order, the Duke’s three cooks began examining the mushrooms with serious expressions.

“Well, it’s baked.”

“It looks like it was cooked well.”

While saying these things.

I didn’t ask for your impressions. Naturally, the Duke exploded.

“Who would say something like that?”

“Oh, that’s the first mushroom I’ve seen. If the enemy said it was used, wouldn’t it be a mushroom grown in that area? .”

The duke was dumbfounded. That’s something you can do yourself. These guys are experts on food ingredients.

“done. it’s okay. So, you’re saying it’s certain that you got a strengthening effect after eating this?”

“Yes, Your Highness. That’s for sure. “They say they checked it several times.”

“Okay then, bring in all the unit commanders!”

“yes!”

“You guys cook this. I heard they put it in and boiled it. So let’s do the same. “You can’t do this, right?”

“yes yes! “That is truly a specialty!”

The chefs soon made a mushroom stew with roasted mushrooms, and it was a treat.

“The ingredients themselves didn’t taste very good. The point is… .”

“Okay. Because you don’t eat it because of the taste. “What’s different?”

“Well there was no poison or anything. Everyone who ate the boiled broth showed no change. However, there is no particular effect… .”

“I heard that you should eat mushrooms, not soup, so I guess that’s right.”

Following Duke Relik’s orders, the captains of the troops soon arrived one after another. The leader is usually a nobleman.

“This is the strengthening mushroom used by the enemy. Eat it and fight. And if it really works, I will somehow get those mushrooms.”

“Is this what you mean?”

“Is it true?”

Murmur. The nobles who had been summoned by the Duke became noisy. And soon he took the mushroom into his mouth.

They said an order was an order and that they had checked for poison, so everyone swallowed the mushrooms.

Sweet.

At that moment, everyone’s expressions were distorted by the taste of the soup that did not go well with the dalgona-like secun mushrooms.

pop-!

pop-!

pop-!

Bang! Everyone started turning into stone. At that shocking scene, Duke Reich could not keep his mouth shut.

“What! You guys. This is the enemy’s plan. The enemy’s plan! “What on earth did you bring!”

“majesty. “I have committed a mortal sin.”

When the duke, a member of the royal family, became angry, the lieutenants who had planned the matter fell to their knees in surprise.

Puk puk!

The Duke kicked his adjutant violently.

“Now that things are like this, kidnap the cook. Kidnap him during the next battle. During the battle, there won’t be many people in the enemy barracks, and they won’t be able to kidnap them either. Even if I kill you, you will definitely find out the secret of my strengthening!”

“All right!”

Duke Relyke took a deep breath. No progress. It was good to taste the blood of destroying a territory, destroying it, killing people, but it was a very uncomfortable situation because I was blocked by the Gray Army who came to support me and I couldn’t do anything.

Trampling and ravaging this land and turning all the people of the opposing empire into slaves.

For that purpose, it was the duke who started the war and the enemy emperor. Because it was a very barbaric country.

***

“Uuuuuuu!”

Lulin felt unfair. In the end, L treated her like she had been bitten by a wild dog, but it was unfair.

It was clearly baked, but it turned out as if it wasn’t baked.

Why on earth did that disappear?

How dare you touch the nose hair of a sleeping dragon. Lurin was determined to find out this.

Find the culprit and destroy him. He is a vicious guy who framed himself and made El fight with him.

Of course, we didn’t fight, but the important thing is that it almost happened.

“good night. “I’ll show you a dragon’s sense of smell.”

Lurin started sniffing around the kitchen area.

But it failed.

“Hmm, it smells like El. good night. Hi-Hi.”

If the dragon had a good sense of smell, it would have been uncomfortable on a regular basis. What is the smell? Lurin’s olfactory investigation ended with only sniffing L’s cooking clothes.

“Then use your head.”

I definitely put it here like this and went to find L. But it disappeared.

Huuuum.

Lurin began twisting the ends of her long hair. If so, someone took it during that time.

“I don’t know.”

In the end, the moment when the investigation that took so much effort came to an abrupt end. A group of masked men invaded the kitchen.

The Duke’s special forces came in after killing the guards in the empty barracks.

“I need to go with you.”

They stood in front of Rurin and spoke.

“hmm? What?”

When El went out to scout to see how they were fighting, Lulin greeted them and clapped his hands.

“Right! You guys took it right away? “My mushrooms?”

“okay. “I took it.”

The man at the end, who was both a masked man and a spy, coolly admitted.

“That is why our master wants to see you. “If you follow me quietly, you won’t get hurt.”

“Then is there another main culprit who framed me? good night. “Take him to him right now!”

Lulin also coolly agreed.

“what?”

It goes without saying that the masked people who tried to drag him away were rather dumbfounded.

Anyway, as a result, Lurin was able to confidently arrive at the enemy barracks.

“Wait here for a moment.”

“What are you waiting for! Ugh. Annoying. it’s annoying!”

And soon the Duke called Lulin.

As Lurin entered the large barracks, the Duke was getting angry again.

“Fuck, we’re being pushed back again? why? “It’s all because of that damned chef!”

I can’t believe that I, who led the main army under the orders of the Emperor of the Narya Empire, could not defeat the troops of a small territory.

That’s nonsense.

“majesty. So I brought the chef right away.”

The words of the special forces chief who had brought Lulin in managed to ease Duke Reich’s harsh expression a little.

Duke Reich stroked his beard and looked at Lurin.

“Is this woman a cook for the enemy army?”

“Yes, it is. “Last time, I stole the mushrooms that turned into stones from what she was grilling.”

“Right. So you’re saying you’re the one who ordered all of this? How dare you frame this body? “I obviously baked it, but it disappeared and L didn’t believe me!”

Lulin’s anger gauge began to fill up.

“It’s pure! How dare you raise your head high and say something in front of His Majesty? “Kneel down now!”

“Why, is there even a need to be so harsh? How do you feel? Would you cook that dish for our military? Then, I will forget your current rudeness and guarantee you wealth and fame.”

He made a suggestion to Lurin, gesturing to his lieutenant with an expression that made him the Duke of Reich.

“hate. Rather, you all should go and kneel in front of El.”

Lurin firmly refused and still made a peaceful proposal to the duke.

For Rurin, it was a very peaceful proposal.

“What is he saying now. Who is El? And kneel?”

“Your Majesty, I think you’re a little crazy. Hey, you guys brought the chef, right?”

“yes. “I definitely saw the cooking scene!”

“done. Just kill it. Cheeky. And send the head to Gray. “I wanted the strengthened mushrooms, but if I kill that cook anyway, the enemy won’t be able to use them anymore.”

“yes! majesty. What are you doing? “Take him away and execute him right now!”

The duke, who could not see rudeness, gave an order and the masked men advanced in front of Lulin. And then he put his hand on Lulin’s arm.

To pull it out.

But that was no different from a self-destruct switch.

“Don’t touch it!”

In the end, Lurin’s anger exploded.

Kwahiah ah ah ah ahhhhhhh! The unit that could be said to be the main base of the Narya Empire’s invasion force soared high into the sky.

So much so that I can’t even find where it went.

“Ugh. I got so angry that I blew it all up. “Don’t let El catch you!”

Lurin puffed out her cheeks.

And then he quickly jumped out of the scene using teleportation.

***

“Lurin?”

“Hmm, what is it?”

“What does that look like? “Why is your hair so scattered?”

“I do not know! Rather, don’t keep telling me to bake this and then go somewhere else! “Stay with me!”

“Master!”

At that time, Gray came running into the kitchen. A very surprised face.

“Why are you doing this? “At least don’t act like that here.”

“Because that’s not the problem. “The leader of the enemy army, Duke Relik, and the barracks where his leadership was located disappeared somewhere, so the enemy retreated without their leader. We pursued the retreating army in large numbers and achieved a great victory.”

“The Duke, the commander, and all his subordinates have disappeared?”

El blinked with a puzzled expression. What’s going on like that?

“yes. This is truly amazing. But I won. Master. “It’s a victory!”

Grayke jumped up and down happily. It was Gray’s first victory.

Of course, the biggest reason why the Narya Empire retreated so quickly was that they had unknowingly framed Lurin.

That fact is something that El and Gray never dreamed of.

Even the Narya Empire would not be able to figure out why they lost the war.

“That’s good. War cannot be dragged on for too long. Lurin, come here. “I’ll comb your hair.”

“i get it!”

Lurin nodded and took El’s hand.
