The Archmage’s Restaurant - Chapter 86

Chapter.20 A Week in Korea

***

If Rurin wasn’t by my side, I might have lost the will to live, cursed fate, and become a wreck.

Transition to a fantasy world.

Fate in that world could only be described as harsh. It is not an exaggeration to say that he did not have great power from the beginning, and that the past years were filled with dangers of death.

The only thing I was thankful for in that world was meeting an innocent dragon.

After that, I couldn’t come to my senses for two days and rolled around in the hotel room. After two days, I could barely get out of bed.

It can’t spread like this.

Above all, I have Rurin. Whether your feelings for her are family, lover, hateful or kind. Because I have this dragon.

Must live.

Besides, there is no longer any reason to cling to this land. I spent 15 years there. If it weren’t for the reason of my parents, the world over there was naturally more familiar to me.

There is a restaurant to run, there are neighbors, and above all, Rurin is the person there.

Okay, let’s go back.

Let’s bury all the sorrow caused by our parents’ affairs and move on to the other world.

I opened my eyes with that thought. Lulin was leaning over me and teasing me by nudging my cheek.

“Stop stabbing me and it hurts.”

“Huh?”

Then Rurin reacts and jumps up.

“why?”

“It’s you as usual! “Have you finally come to your senses?”

“Well, that’s right.”

Lulin’s eyes shine as he nods.

“Oooh!”

Raise your arms. He stops poking his finger and runs towards me. I stopped Lurin like that.

“Stop charging! “Let’s stop first.”

He picked up Lurin and placed her on the floor. And then I got out of bed completely. And I told Lurin the important truth.

“Let’s go back to our world, Lurin.”

“Oh good! Finally! “For this body, that world is good.”

“okay? “Then do you want to go back alone?”

I jump up and run around. So, when I secretly started saying things that I didn’t mean to, Rurin narrowed her eyes and glared at me.

“What is that? “Did you lose your brain after a few days of lack of energy?”

“No, your brain is fine?”

“If you are here, I will be here too. That is a truth that does not change even if all things change. you. “You don’t even know that.”

“Was it that much of a truth? haha.”

Yes, this is Lurin. Rather, it makes my heart feel warmer. I suddenly want to hug him, but I hold back. How long until Rurin’s birthday?

Everything is postponed until then.

Everything.

“Yes, of course I have to go back too. I don’t have a home here anymore. Because my house is a restaurant on a hill. “It’s also where your rare is.”

“Your brain has finally come back. “Thank goodness.”

Rurin nods her head strongly, crossing her arms.

“This is a place where you just feel sad, so I don’t want to stay there any longer!”

The next words are a little poignant. This dragon keeps making my heart flutter lately. I quietly look at Lurin. Then Lurin also looks at me.

The intersection of gazes continues. I shook my head.

“Okay, let’s go back.”

I barely got back to the point and cast the summoning spell.

Because the mana increased with the dragon’s bead, the summoning magic became stronger and such a black hole was created, so all you have to do is repeat the same method.

There was no change in that thought.

But there was a problem, so I couldn’t use the summoning magic.

“Lurin, that’s strange. I’m running low on mana. “I haven’t recovered yet.”

“What do you mean, dear?”

Lulin shakes his head and moves Mana. It was an action that indicated there was nothing wrong.

“My mana is fine.”

Lurin disappeared in an instant. Then it appears again in an instant. It looks like teleportation was used.

“what? You know, I’m a little strange too. Mana does not recover quickly. “What is this?”

“you also?”

“Now that I think about it, this world is severely lacking in mana in the atmosphere. Yes! This is it. It’s because this world itself is sorely lacking in mana. Normally, I would have to immediately draw mana and recover, but I couldn’t do that. Well, since summoning magic is a pretty big magic, I think it will take some time for that much mana to recover. “It is a strange world without mana.”

“Oh yeah? I see “I have very little mana.”

After coming here, I didn’t care about Mana at all because of my desire to find my parents, and after that, I couldn’t care about Mana because of the shock of my parents’ death.

Now that I’m trying to use mana, it feels clear. That there is absolutely no mana to attract.

A land with almost no mana.

Well, if you have a lot of mana, there is no reason not to have a wizard. That being said, I had to wait until my mana recovered.

Even in the other world, summoning magic consumed a lot of mana. Before the amount of mana that could be stored increased significantly, summoning magic could only be used once a day.

Mana absorption and storage capacity, and mana management ability to use it. All of these are factors that determine class, and my mana recovery has become incredibly fast.

As long as you have a little mana, recovery is possible. However, it will only take a few days. That meant that I would be forced to stay here for a few days.

***

Rurin is sleeping peacefully at the hotel. I’m not particularly upset by the fact that I won’t be able to go back for a while.

Just as he was rolling around here and there, snoring on the restaurant table, he was also sleeping here.

It almost feels like a dream that he patted me without even sleeping properly while I was lying down.

The change in behavior is so drastic.

Of course, I also have some problems.

Since I don’t work at a restaurant, I sleep peacefully together. I don’t think I’ll be able to adapt if I go back like this.

It might be a little difficult for a few days.

But I still feel the need to go back.

The home of my life is no longer Korea, but that land.

By running a restaurant, I communicate with people and live like that. It’s already been a few days since I haven’t felt that reward.

I consoled myself with those feelings and woke up Rurin. The sun has already risen in the sky.

Since I can’t go back for a few days anyway, it’s not a bad idea to have a little fun while waiting.

Wouldn’t it be a good memory to seal away bad memories and just wander the streets of this land as if nothing had happened, with no intention of ever coming back?

Shoot!

I plunged the half-asleep Lurin into the pouring water and washed her.

“Ugh… .”

Lulin is beside himself. Same as usual. It doesn’t matter. The bottom line is that all you have to do is wash it.

“Huh? It got warmer. Then sleep.”

Then, while spouting nonsense, he bends over in the bathtub. I washed it with hot water and it didn’t work.

Mercy is the end.

Sssssssssssshhhh!

Soon cold water pours down.

Then I got out of the bathtub and returned to the room.

5 seconds. 4 seconds. 3 seconds. 2 seconds. 1 second. Soon a scream echoes from the bathtub.

“It’s cold! You! “If you catch a cold, you’ll be the only one suffering!”

Rurin ran out wearing a towel while making an absurd threat. I handed out the clothes to Rurin.

Rurin also looks very good in clothes from this era. No, what would not suit Lurin’s face?

It would look good even if I wore an Eskimo outfit.

“Cold water is good for your skin. I did that on purpose. Look, it’s bouncy.”

“My skin is naturally plump!”

Lurin proudly asserts what anyone can see as being true.

Since it was true, I didn’t say anything and went out with my hotel key. Naturally, Rurin follows.

“Let’s go get something to eat. “I’m getting tired of hotel food.”

“rice? That’s good. hungry… .”

Actually, when I came to my senses, there was something I was craving. That is Jjajangmyeon.

The last time I had Jjajangmyeon was 15 years ago. I am full of thoughts about taking this opportunity to eat and go home. Jjajangmyeon is classified as Chinese food, but if you look at it closely, it is the same as Korean food.

Moreover, it is meaningful because it is a food that I always ate as a child.

Now that I think about it, Jjajangmyeon has never been recreated in a restaurant. Suddenly thinking about that makes me want to eat more.

Nostalgia for the black bean noodles I ate with my friends during my school days stimulates me.

Without thinking about anything else, I just went into a nearby Chinese restaurant. This is a delivery restaurant located on the second floor. In the case of delivery restaurants, the size of the restaurant is usually very small.

There are about 3 tables. Yes, this is exactly what the Chinese restaurant looks like in my memories. Should I say that I am somehow excited? With that in mind, I opened the door to the Chinese restaurant and immediately called out my order.

“Here, please give me two black bean noodles and one sweet and sour pork.”

“yes! thank you.”

The lady took the order and went inside, and soon the delivery man came in carrying an iron bag and opened his mouth to the man in the kitchen.

“I heard the water pipe in your building burst?”

“what? “Water pipes?”

“So I turned off all the water. “They say the manager will come up soon and explain the situation?”

“What kind of bullshit is that? “Have you planned to ruin the business?”

A man believed to be the store owner came out of the kitchen and ran outside. The lady who took our order frowned heavily and approached us.

“Hey, I’m sorry, but I can’t do it right now. What should I do?”

“Oh, it’s okay. It can’t be helped. “I’ll come next time.”

“What are you… ! “I’m hungry!”

“They say there’s no water coming out.”

“water is? If water doesn’t come out, you can just make it! “Like in a restaurant!”

Lulin stood up confidently and gestured toward the kitchen.

This is an action that should have been prevented. Soon a huge amount of water takes over the restaurant. A water storm swept away the restaurant. Like a flood? A leaky house?

“Hey maaaaa!”

“why… They say there is no water. Why do we make water like this in our restaurant? ?”

When I got angry, Lurin looked a little discouraged, but whispered as if asking why I was angry about such an obvious fact.

“Don’t use magic here. Mana is a waste. Never use it. okay?”

“What’s happening! Where is the water suddenly like this? “Are you kidding me?”

The woman, perhaps because of the burst water pipe, saw water all over the floor and ran outside. It was like he was trying to fight the manager.

Feeling sorry, I raised the cleaning fee and left the restaurant. It’s a crazy day from the start.

“Hehe, that’s good. “I didn’t like it.”

“what? He said he was hungry. What didn’t he like? You couldn’t have used magic on purpose… .”

Lulin didn’t answer and ran behind me. The culprit is confirmed.

It was probably because I didn’t like the attitude of either the uncle or the lady. Ugh.

But the more it goes on, the more I want to eat Jjajangmyeon. I changed my mind.

It was a mistake to go to a small delivery restaurant when it wasn’t something I wanted delivered to. This time, I took Lulin to a Chinese restaurant in the downtown area. It is a traditional Chinese restaurant that focuses on multi-course meals.

The huge hall is full of tables. And there was also a room table. Red pillars and decorations reminiscent of China are visible here and there.

I went into the room with Lurin and sat down. Rurin spins the disk around, as if she is amazed by the table shape she has never seen before.

The Chinese-style dining table, which is circular and can be rotated, rotates freely. Lose self-confidence.

“You, this is comfortable! Are you leaving a lot of food here and taking it back? “Oh, make this at the restaurant too!”

Even though the food hasn’t even been served yet, Rurin notices the beauty of the table and starts laughing. scary. As expected, no one can match Rurin’s analysis of food.

“You’re going to make it and steal other customers’ food?”

“Rurrrurrrurrrurun!”

“Don’t suddenly speak Lulun’s language!”

I pulled Lurin’s cheeks, who started spouting monster language, and waited for the black bean noodles. Then, Jjajangmyeon appears. Sweet and sour pork too. As a result, I ignored the course meal and only ordered two black bean noodles and sweet and sour pork.
