Chapter.7 Cheese
“It hurts. Mr. Knoll.”
I frowned at Mr. Knoll’s attack and thought it was time to take out the pizza I had brought.
“I came here empty-handed, so I cooked some food. Would you all like to try it?”
It has cooled down a bit, but the cheese is still alive. It was just when it was delicious.
“What is this? First time seeing… “Are you hungry?”
Mr. Ment was the first to take a slice of pizza.
“Bread in a round shape… Is it? “What is this white thing?”
Mr. Knoll, who was right next to me, also had an interesting face. The two women behind them also approached. Miltain holds a pizza in his hand and looks at Mr. Ment.
“Senior, you have to eat first so I can eat too! Come on!”
Miltain whined again.
“you’re right. The main character has to eat. It’s not your favorite spicy food, but it’s still delicious. If you recover and come to the restaurant, we can make it spicy for you. Hehehe.”
“oh! Is that so? “I’m looking forward to it.”
Mr. Ment put down his worried expression for a moment and brought the pizza to his mouth.
“what’s this? “What is this increasing thing?”
Mr. Knoll shouted with a surprised face. Miltain also began to fuss.
“Oooh? what’s this.”
He holds a pizza in his mouth and shakes it back and forth, letting the cheese hang down.
“oh! This is delicious. The texture of the bread and the red sauce go really well together, and the meat… . And what is this white, stretchy thing? “It’s savory and salty, and it feels like a harmonious combination of all the ingredients on the bread.”
Mr. Ment calmly expressed his impressions. The only one who is calm is Mr. Ment. People eating my pizza as if they were possessed. Of course, it’s a happy reaction.
However, there is one woman who cannot enjoy it in the meantime. Obviously pizza has meat in it. However, other types have a similar composition to pasta. Pizza made with only dough, cheese, and tomato sauce.
If the pasta was good, this would be good too.
Because she said the only thing she couldn’t eat was lean meat.
“Elena, please try this.”
I handed out the Italian-style oven pizza to Elena.
As I was just watching everyone enjoy their food, Elena seemed to get a little interested and took the pizza to her mouth. With a pale face, he hesitated and took a very small bite of the end of the pizza.
Then the cheese stretches. The blonde elf and cheese somehow look good together. The elf immediately flushed his cheeks.
“it is delicious! How do you cook so well without using meat? “Can you teach me a lesson too?”
He shouted to himself and then turned his back, probably because he was embarrassed.
“I’m sorry!”
“No, there is nothing to be sorry about.”
If it’s a simple dish, there’s nothing I can’t teach you.
“But can you come? “At a restaurant?”
When I asked with a slight smile, the elf fell backwards.
“That that that… “I don’t know!”
The dragon seemed scary. His face became very worried.
Anyway, Mr. Ment ate the pizza with satisfaction. I don’t know if I have the energy, but from now on, I have to overcome it on my own. I hope they get over it quickly because they can’t lose their regular customers.
After the pizza party ended, people dispersed.
I also returned to the restaurant.
Lurin seemed to like the pizza so much that she ate two by herself.
The entire bag of mozzarella cheese was thrown away and only empty bags were left lying around in the kitchen.
Cheese is obviously a processed product, so it can be summoned and used, but it is very inconvenient. There are many advantages to using various cheeses, including mozzarella, but the amount that can be summoned is very limited.
A bottle of liquor.
A bag of cheese.
A box of soju.
It’s packaged in a box. You can call it a box, but that’s only limited to the weight you can handle. Summoned items always have limitations.
Now that I know that cheese and pizza go well with the tastes of people here, I suddenly have a desire to make cheese myself.
Having a cheese factory on top of Dragon Lair can also be a gimmick. Of course, the average person wouldn’t even think that there would be a rare hidden at the bottom of the hill. If you’re an ordinary person.
Anyway, you need cheese.
Mozzarella cheese was apparently made from buffalo milk. I remember taking theoretical training at culinary school.
So, shall we make a ranch out of this seaweed? Creating a secluded ranch is another dream come true. It’s one of my bucket list.
Speaking of water buffalo, I’ve definitely seen one. In fact, the basic ecosystem of this world is very similar to Earth.
As I was talking, I suddenly wanted to eat cheese, starting with gratin and even ramen. Homemade cheese.
My motivation surges. Maybe you have a passion for cooking.
Rare has now reached a stage where it can be left to the dwarves. All that remains is negotiation with the dwarves. There is no problem with turning your attention to cheese.
Ranching is not that difficult. All you have to do is catch a water buffalo, confine it on a hill, make a waterway and a pen for it, and then ask Rurin to make it quiet and raise it. If you tame the buffaloes that are born from the beginning, they will become calm.
All you have to do is select the person to manage through an interview. As long as you establish a system, mozzarella cheese will continue to come into your hands.
He also told me to remove the ox horn as soon as possible. I ran to the basement and caught Lurin.
“When did you come back? Huh? “What’s so urgent!”
“Let’s go somewhere.”
“Where?”
Lurin tilts her head and asks a question.
“To catch the treasure.”
Lulin’s eyes began to shine at my words. My instinct stirs at the word treasure. Because dragons can’t use their own will when it comes to treasure. Just look at the fact that she is wearing the gold bracelet I gave her on her 799th birthday without ever taking it off her body.
“Oh oh? “Treasure?”
I unfolded the map and began to describe the place.
The place you need to go is quite far from Great City. 10 years ago, when the monster war was in full swing.
At that time, I didn’t even know about Lulin’s existence.
A story about the time when I was literally a snotty wizard.
The lower reaches of the Berint River, on the southeastern outskirts of the empire. I remembered seeing something similar to a water buffalo in the area where the sea and river meet. I have vivid memories of the nobles who made bows out of those horns at the time.
buffalo. The gnome, called ‘Bernerik’, had tasteless meat, but its horns were very popular among nobles. Just as if you make an unused bow into a buffalo horn, it becomes a symbol of strength.
Great City is in the southwest of the empire, so it’s a very long way. Of course, it’s only one shot if you use teleportation. Otherwise, it would take another year to catch the buffalo.
But if you have a dragon, it’s easy.
Restaurant and ranch.
A restaurant with a ranch.
There are many simple Uka ranches in the Gray Mountains, so I put up with them, but water buffalo are unique and can make money. My own ranch.
What a good sound.
***
We are downstream of the Berint River. Arrived in front of the vast sea of the empire.
The blue waters of the Berint River flow into this sea. If you go up the Berint River, you will come across a habitat for water buffalos. The reason I couldn’t go to that habitat right away was because of the limitations of teleportation.
It is impossible to teleport to Rurin unless you have been there in person or seen it with your own eyes.
I had no choice but to find the magic power of the dragon lair in the southeast and teleport there. And then I had to walk all the way to the southern sea, where the lower reaches of the Berint River meet.
From here, you can go up the Berint River again and find the water buffalo.
It took a while to get there, but once you find the water buffalo, the game is over. Because going back is simple.
Of course, Lulin was exhausted and sobbing.
Still, seeing the sea for the first time in a while made me feel a bit more at ease. Horizon toward the river. Horizon toward the sea.
I led Rurin and stood on the shore. And then I looked at the sea. The smell of the sea fills my nose. This is where the vast sky looks even bluer.
“you! Why is this river so big? “Is it a lake?”
“yes? “What did you say, Dragon?”
“Why are you like that… ?”
Lulin casts Luridungjeol. His face looks like he doesn’t know what’s wrong with what he said.
“Doesn’t the dragon, the most intelligent being, know the sea?”
“no! The sea knows. “I heard it!”
“you idiot. So this is the sea.”
800 years of time. The central part of the continent. Black Dragon’s sacred place. She lived nearby. As proof of the years of sleeping and being caught up in monster wars, I don’t think I’ve ever flown all the way to the sea.
Because it’s a dragon that has never even played games.
“Wow! Is this the sea? Was it not a river? Somehow, they said it was too big for a river! Hi-Hi.”
The way he smiles and accepts it seems so brilliant.
The sky is brilliant too. The sea is also brilliant. The dragon in front is also brilliant.
The weather is nice too.
Shoot!
The sound of the waves pleasantly hits my ears.
The desire to play at the ranch or something arose.
A dazzling emerald sea. Coral reef in transparent sea. A beach with no one around.
The same goes for my life, where I have never had a vacation.
The same goes for Rurin, who was visiting the sea for the first time.
It’s too unfortunate to just pass by.
So I hugged Lulin. hug the princess Although she is a dragon and not a princess.
“Uh huh?”
Sprint! I ran wild and splashed into the sea water. And then he threw Lurin away.
Pooh puddle!
The dragon fell into the sea water and immediately got up and glared at me. It’s just deep enough to reach her thighs.
“Ugh! “Why is it so salty!”
“Sea water is naturally salty.”
“Why did you suddenly come into the water… !”
I started spraying a lot of seawater on Lulin’s face as she opened her mouth.
“This is how humans usually play.”
Rurin, whose face was filled with sea water, shook her head and looked at me, shaking off her hair. The eyes are shining. It’s a fighting instinct.
“Is that so! Then this body cannot lose!”
Lulin started using magic. A tsunami was created against the waves. This cannot happen through the laws of nature.
“Hey dude! “What are you doing!”
“Puhahahaha! Take it! “It’s revenge!”
A tsunami as tall as me washed over me. Fortunately, it is not a class 9 magic, as there is a concept of prank. If Lulin or I want to, we can create a large-scale tsunami.
I dived into the small tsunami and hid myself. And then swam deeper into the sea.
“Did it just fly away like this? You can’t be that weak! “Because this body tried to kill me, but I couldn’t!”
When are we talking about enemies?
I hid and swam to a far distance, then came out to the surface and summoned a falling rock in front of Lulin’s body. It’s a counterattack. counterattack.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
When the stone falls, a storm of sea water rushes through Lulin’s body. A lot of sea water splashed on Lulin’s face again.
“Aang! salty! cold!”
Rurin sensed mana, found me, and started swimming towards me.
