The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 200

Episode 200: Compatibility (3)

The information that Taejun spits out.

It was not easy to understand its contents.

“Oh, isn’t this it?”

“…ah! That’s right.”

Fortunately.

I wasn’t the only unit member here.

The troops I brought in to do escort and other duties.

The result of them putting their heads together and thinking about it with me.

“Then let’s send squad number 8 here…”

“Squad number 8 would have been a squad focused on reconnaissance rather than combat. “I wonder if it will be okay.”

“well. “I guess the monsters there specialize in hiding or something like that.”

Somehow I succeeded in grasping the meaning.

like that.

How much time has passed?

“…That’s it.”

Cheolpudeok.

Sergeant Park Tae-jun looked at the sky while breaking out in a cold sweat.

The guy fell to the floor, holding on to his trembling legs.

“Sergeant Taejun Park!”

“Are you okay?”

Soldiers from the Raider Squad rushed towards the fallen guy.

I just somehow survived with my cooking.

His leg is not fully healed yet.

“It tastes like death.”

Plus, the excessive buff from my cooking was added.

There is no joke in saying that it tastes like death.

“It seems like you always get hurt and fall down. Are you okay?”

“Huh… That’s right. “I wonder if my personality is like this.”

Let’s approach with a joke.

“Thank you for your concern, but you probably don’t have time to worry about me.”

“huh?”

The guy was lying on the floor and breathing heavily.

He looked up at me and said.

“What I just talked about [astrology]… the only enemies that can be dealt with in a special way are probably the ones I just talked about.”

“…hmm.”

“It would be difficult to remove the rest so easily.”

These are the military units that Taejun mentioned.

Among them.

There were several places where there were no hints about soldiers who should be dispatched to the unit.

The reason is probably.

“The monsters that appeared there… have no obvious weaknesses or characteristics.”

In the first place.

This means that it is not an enemy worth countering.

“Those guys are probably just really strong. These guys have no special features or weaknesses. “To deal with those guys.”

“This side will simply have no choice but to send as much power as possible.”

“that’s right.”

and.

If we say that it is the maximum power that the corps can send.

“I can’t be left out.”

“That’s it.”

Sergeant Park Tae-jun laughs and giggles.

“I’m sorry for coming all the way to this place, but from now on, you’ll have to run yourself.”

“Ha… well. “I didn’t intend to play around either.”

“I don’t know if I can say it’s fortunate, but I don’t think dealing with the rest of the units is that urgent.”

The place where the monsters were released in the first place was the military base.

Basically, there are not many people near military bases.

Of course, the military base itself is located at some distance from society.

Now, information is spreading that strong monsters have settled in the military base.

There wouldn’t be any survivors who would settle down near such a place.

‘Even if there are people listening to the radio and approaching, it would be rare for them to come this close already.’

There is little chance that the unleashed monsters will cause significant casualties right away.

If you subdue it after making some preparations.

That means it can be handled somehow.

then.

It means that you have some free time right now.

I decided to ask one important thing.

“Have you found out anything about the guys who did this?”

“I don’t know.”

A military monster has been released into the world….

The ‘enemy’ of our army.

“It’s not like we haven’t discovered anything, but you probably know more than me right now.”

That’s right.

I use [Ingredient Identification (Enhancement)].

Because we even differentiated between the parties.

and.

The status window of the guys I saw like that was quite shocking.

‘Demon Contractor.’

A scary-looking name.

They have only one characteristic.

[Contract]

[A contract with the devil is made by paying a price.]

[Whether or not the deal goes through is entirely at the devil’s discretion.]

‘It’s a contract…’

It was a simple phrase.

I also wondered if that was the right name for that trait.

‘Isn’t it correct to call it an unfair contract?’

Whether the transaction proceeds or not.

A contract that is entirely at stake with the devil.

Also releasing monsters into the world.

It must have been done through that ‘contract’.

I’m not sure what price was paid to free the monsters.

“First of all, from what I found out… it’s in the south.”

“It’s the south.”

This is a pretty important hint.

This means that you can find out the enemy’s location to some extent.

“I don’t know any other detailed information at this time.”

“what? “It’s a lot less than I thought.”

“Listen to the end. “I think more detailed information will come soon.”

“…?”

what is this sound.

If you tell me now, I will tell you.

Are you saying there will be information coming soon?

“I don’t know how it will be, but someone will come looking for you soon.”

“what?”

“I think they will tell you the details.”

in other words.

Although Taejun has found out nothing right now.

This means that someone with information will come to our unit soon.

“…There’s nothing to tell right away. “It’s a really annoying ability.”

“I agree, really.”

Well…

thanks to that annoying ability.

Although I have saved my life more than once.

* * *

“It’s been a while since I last saw you, but it looks like we’re going to break up right away.”

“What good is there in seeing men face to face for a long time?”

“Well, is that true too?”

After Taejun came down from the radar, supporting the guy.

I began preparing to return to the Corps.

Although they said that dealing with the remaining monsters wouldn’t be that urgent.

That too is at the ‘for now’ level.

We’ll have to subdue the monsters that appear there as quickly as possible.

“Oh Taejun.”

“hmm?”

But before that.

I should finish the reason why I came here.

“Are you planning on joining the unit?”

“Joining. “I’m telling you because I seem to have forgotten, but first of all, I am also the most senior soldier in this unit, along with you.”

“That’s not what I meant. “You know?”

“…What?”

Unlike other unit members who left the mountains a long time ago and grew up on the ground.

A guy who stayed alone in these mountains.

There was a reason why it had to be that way.

It is also true that it was inevitably left half-neglected.

‘Compared to places like the Vimana and the ammunition battalion, these mountains are too dangerous.’

If possible.

I made this suggestion because I thought it might be better to go to a safer place.

“I’m sorry, but I refuse.”

What does Taejun think?

It looks different from mine.

“I don’t know what you think, but I like this unit right now. “This place suits me.”

“…I see.”

“If the unit advances to a place closer to the stars in the future, I will think about it then. But until then, I have no intention of leaving here.”

The highest mountain in the nearby area.

There may be mountains that are higher in terms of simple height, but there is no place with its own facilities like this one.

A place where there is even a radar that amplifies Taejun’s abilities.

This is where Sergeant Taejun Park can demonstrate his abilities to the fullest.

I have no intention of leaving that place.

“what the. No matter how powerful it is, it is the same. “Isn’t it scary?”

“If a crisis is going to come to me, I will know about it long ago. And…”

It was amazing to feel the feeling returning to my injured leg.

The guy who was smoothing my legs looked at my face and said.

“My classmate is doing this well, so shouldn’t I also work hard?”

“….”

I don’t want to be pushed around by my classmates.

Strong self-esteem.

‘This guy. It was like that when I first hurt my leg.’

If you listen to the story.

I must have been quite heartbroken when I received the information that I would never be able to walk again.

The guy who greeted me when I came to visit him always had a dignified appearance.

A guy who had outstanding abilities from the beginning.

Since he is that kind of guy, he has no intention of falling behind others.

‘If that’s the case.’

actually.

I’ve thought about this as well.

“That’s how it is.”

The soldiers who came here with me.

I looked at the guys and opened my mouth.

“Like I said, I think you guys should stay here too.”

“All right.”

“Loyalty.”

In those words.

“…huh?”

“I thought you didn’t want to leave here.”

Sergeant Taejun Park is puzzled.

I introduced the soldiers and said,

“That’s why I brought these guys.”

“…ah.”

“Because this mountain range was so power-hungry.”

I’ve already finished talking with the soldiers.

These guys boast a level that is superior to the average of our unit in their own way.

Besides…

“Sergeant Taejun Park.”

“What you showed me earlier… it was truly amazing.”

Taejun must have been impressed by the way he practiced astrology.

There seemed to be no dissatisfaction with the mission to remain here and protect him.

‘My escort is overflowing in the shadows.’

These guys stay here.

It will play a role in protecting the troops in the mountains.

especially.

“He is an engineer and that person is a medic. “It will help a lot.”

It’s a fraudulent job that doesn’t compare to my job as a chef.

A production engineer.

He will be able to strengthen this unit’s defenses.

Additionally, Taejun’s leg is not fully healed yet.

The medic could help with his rehabilitation.

“…thanks. “To be honest, I didn’t expect this kind of consideration.”

“How can I be thankful when I finally have to do something I should have done a long time ago?”

This is something I have been concerned about for a long time.

After taking some action like this, I feel relieved.

‘Then I can return now.’

In order to subdue those powerful monsters.

There will be a need to gather as many troops as possible and send them out.

Just as I was about to take a step back.

“for a moment.”

“…hmm?”

“Before we go, let me give you one last piece of advice.”

Sergeant Park Tae-jun still looks exhausted.

The guy looked at me and said.

“My [astrology] today.”

“Ah… it was amazing. To be honest, I was impressed.”

“Leave it as what you did.”

“…ok?”

Assuming I did it.

What does this mean again?

“I was the one who used astrology, but you were the one who conveyed it to people.”

“…That’s true, but.”

Sergeant Taejun Park was suffering from a buff caused by my cooking.

In that situation, I used astrology to its full potential.

Is there any way to have the capacity to send a [Guild Message]?

at last.

I was the one who sent the information he found out as a guild message.

“…Oh no way.”

“The other guys probably think you just found out that information.

“What is that…!”

This is ridiculous.

“I’m glad you noticed it now. “We must clear up such misunderstandings.”

In today’s world, a strong leader is needed.

That is why.

It is true that I allowed exaggerated rumors about me to circulate to some extent.

but.

“That’s what you did.”

There are clearly different contributors to this.

It’s a completely different thing for that to be treated as something I did.

In this case, it would be stealing someone else’s credit.

‘This needs to be properly known.’

There are already many unit members who are unaware of the existence of Sergeant Park Tae-jun.

This guy was quietly doing his job in this unit.

Let other unit members know that there are unit members active in these mountains without even being able to leave.

I need to make sure I get proper recognition….

“I told you so. “Just count it as something you did.”

I thought I did.

Actually, that party.

Sergeant Taejun Park seemed to have a slightly different idea.

“what. “Are you telling me to steal the achievements of my classmates?”

“That’s true.”

“…huh?”

“and.”

Although I said it as a joke.

Sergeant Park Tae-jun speaks with a serious expression.

“It has to be that way, Youngjun.”

“…her.”

Looking at that reaction.

I could guess what the situation was.

“Did you see something about me too?”

The guy who unleashed his [Astrology] skills to its fullest potential thanks to my cooking.

That guy saw something.

related to me.

That something.
