The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 294
Episode 294 Radio:
The accommodation where Shin Young-jun is staying.
The faces of all the people who entered and left there were…
‘Are you smiling?’
Something I haven’t seen since the world came to this point.
There was a bright smile.
“Hehehe….”
“Ever since the world turned into this… have you ever felt this good…?”
In a strangely dreamy tone of voice.
People disperse while saying such things.
And after that.
“So you said I should go first, right?”
“You bastard, I know for sure that you got it last time, but I asked you to give it up…!”
People who want to enter that accommodation.
They even seemed to be arguing because they wanted to get in as quickly as possible.
‘This can’t be right.’
If you look at that bizarre appearance.
There was only one thing that came to mind.
‘According to what Uncle Jung-gu said, Young-jun is probably an assassin.’
And what would an assassin handle best?
They were all kinds of drugs, including poison.
‘…I definitely didn’t lie. but.’
The man in there didn’t lie to her.
This was clearly confirmed by her abilities.
He wouldn’t do any harm to this group.
He said he came here to help.
but.
‘If you consider it to be true.’
If he thinks his actions will benefit this group.
Even if others see his actions as something that will lead the group to destruction.
The saying ‘I came here to help’ is not a lie.
Oh my god.
There are some crazy people who think that
actions that seem worst to others… are good.
“Oh, no…!”
Imagine the worst.
It began to dominate Han Yi-seo’s mind.
* * *
“Yeo Youngjun…!”
People who might become customers of my cooking.
I was carrying out some kind of ‘work’ to get to know them.
“uh? “Are you here?”
Shaman of this group.
Han Yi-seo came to visit me.
“wait a minute. “I have something to do right now.”
I’m sorry for coming to see you.
Because you have to keep doing what you’re doing.
“Uuuuh….”
“How do you feel?”
“It feels really, really good… It’s the best feeling I’ve felt recently…”
“Hehe. “I’m glad you’re feeling well.”
“Can I come again next time…?”
“Haha, as much as you want. “I’m not going anywhere, so don’t worry.”
OK.
Han Yi-seo’s face, watching this, turns pale.
“…Mr. Youngjun!”
“yes?”
She has a pale complexion.
He shouted at me in a sharp voice.
“What on earth are you doing?”
“yes? iced coffee. This one? Just say something. “I want to become closer to people.”
I don’t know why he’s so angry with such a pale complexion.
I answered honestly.
“When I heard the story, I heard that the atmosphere of the people in this group was a bit cold and everyone had dark complexions… Ultimately, they said it was because their lives were hard and they had no time to spare.”
“That’s right. So what does this have to do with that?”
“So… I was helping you forget about the hardships of life.”
“…!”
In those words.
Han Yi-seo’s face, which was already pale, became even paler.
“I trusted you…!”
She was so shocked and screamed.
He took out something that looked like an unknown fan and knife from his arms.
“I’m the one who insisted that you be trusted… so I should take responsibility.”
behind her back.
A vague shape begins to take shape.
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do here… but I don’t think I can win…! “I never just let it go…!”
“What are you trying to do?”
I look at that.
I opened my mouth blankly.
“It’s just a massage.”
“…yes?”
Also the shape waving behind his back.
I could see him making a bewildered expression.
* * *
“Indeed… I think I know how you misunderstood it.”
After sending everyone away.
I stayed with Han Yi-seo and started talking.
“So what should I say… I’m probably spraying some kind of medicine or something…” “
…”
“I guess that’s what I suspected?”
“That’s right.”
I frowned at that face and answered.
“Am I crazy?”
“….”
“What benefit do you have for doing such a thing? No, even if I did it, I would have done it in secret. “There’s no way he would have done it so openly.”
“Is that so…?”
She blushed as if she was embarrassed.
I asked in a small voice.
“Then why on earth are you doing this?”
“I told you. “I wanted to become friends with the people here.”
This group of people will eventually become my customers.
I wanted to properly fit into this group by becoming friends with them.
‘…Nothing to do.’
Because life is hard.
People had little leisure and were harsh towards outsiders.
In fact, if that’s all it is.
It would have been possible to somehow approach him warmly and open his heart.
‘A scary-looking man…’
‘Ah, a man…’
Although it is truly unfair.
‘My first impression… I think it feels a bit bloody.’
It was quite difficult to become friends in a normal way.
Even if it is possible, it will take a long time.
so.
It was decided to take special measures.
of course.
Of course, it is a measure worth taking.
‘Cooking.’
Putting something into people’s mouths.
This is impossible unless you are really close friends.
That’s why I am.
– Would you like to pretend to be fooled and get a massage?
Something like that.
I approached people.
[Forced feeding]
[If the food comes into contact with the target’s body, the target will be able to see the taste and effect of the food.]
[The comfortable feelings of a war chef-.]
Like this.
By feeding the dish through the skin.
We have begun work to bring some relief to their desolate hearts.
‘Don’t eat it, give it to your skin… it’s the same feeling.’
anyway.
Nothing strange happened during the process.
“I approached them to try to talk to them… but the expressions on their faces were full of fatigue. “There were a lot of people who seemed mentally unstable… and it didn’t seem like a situation to talk to.”
“…People are a bit like that these days.”
“I’m not bragging, but if I use my abilities in a different way, I can calm my mind a little. “Through this massage, we brought some comfort to people’s minds.”
“Then… what are people’s facial expressions?”
“What is that? Should I say it’s some kind of side effect? “It’s not the effect I intended.”
maybe.
Now she may be using her skills to figure out the truth.
I was able to speak confidently.
“Using this ability gives you the feeling of ‘eating incredibly delicious food.’”
“yes?”
“My intention was to create a comfortable feeling… but it seems like an effect that will always follow if you use this ability. “It puts my complicated mind at ease and makes me feel good because I feel like I’ve eaten something delicious.”
“…Is there such a thing as addiction?”
“doesn’t exist. “If there had been, would they have gone back as soon as they said it was the end for today?”
For those who have been waiting, let me tell you that I will end here for today.
Although he expressed his disappointment, he quickly returned.
‘…If that’s the intention, it would be possible to poison it.’
If you keep feeding them dishes of ‘extreme happiness’.
People become unable to endure the emptiness of not having that happiness.
Although this naturally produces an effect that is close to addictive.
‘Because I didn’t intend for it to have such a strong effect.’
The effect I gave was truly to the extent of providing peace of mind.
There is no such thing as using this level of effect.
“…I understand there was no malicious intent. But why on earth do you do this?”
“Hmm…”
I thought for a moment.
Soon he opened his mouth.
“There may be two reasons.”
“Two things?”
“You know what? “Grandma Chunja, who I just gave you my last massage with, is very old, but surprisingly, her favorite dish is hamburgers.”
“…yes?”
“Surprising, right?”
She is puzzled by the sudden noise.
“Sung-Hoon said he can’t eat foods with strong scents. Ja-kyung is said to be lactose intolerant and cannot eat dairy products.”
“…what is that?”
“I was just curious about those people. “These are people I will be spending some time with.”
“….”
These are the people who will be the customers of my cooking.
I wanted to understand them in more detail.
‘Just like I did with my unit members.’
My strength.
Because the more you understand your opponent, the more powerful it becomes.
“Then the second one is…”
“Actually, this isn’t a big deal. Huh.”
I answer while scratching my head.
“It’s just… Even though everyone says it’s hard to live, isn’t it a bit sad that we live in such a bleak life?”
“….”
“I thought it would be nice to be able to live comfortably even in a world like this.”
She heard me.
He looked at me blankly for a moment with his mouth open.
“…It’s the truth.”
He soon sighed and said.
“…I misunderstood. sorry.”
“No, what. “If you look at the circumstances, it was easy to misunderstand.”
Although I was a little embarrassed.
Because this was an incident that could be overlooked with a smile.
“So…actually, I also have a question.”
“yes?”
and.
I stopped laughing and asked seriously.
“This is what I felt when I asked people… The situation around me was worse than I was feeling.”
“…That’s right.”
“As the situation was bad, the mental state of the group members seemed to be bad as well. To be honest…”
While talking to them.
A fact to be sure.
Although I tried to
somehow bring peace of mind and become friends through cooking .
‘The mental burden is more serious than everyone thinks.’
The reason was understandable.
Because the outside environment has become so atrocious.
The stress must be worse than in our Gangwon-do region.
“How is a group in this state maintained…? “I almost felt the same way.”
“….”
He was the head of a large guild in his own right.
Even there, managing people’s mental health was almost entirely my domain.
According to my experience.
What is the mentality of the people in this area right now?
It was no wonder that the group did not function properly.
Nevertheless.
This group was running relatively normally.
“What did you do? “The three leaders of the group have shown some kind of possessed leadership, or something like that?”
“no. “It would have been nice if it had been like that.”
On my word.
She answered as if she was embarrassed.
“…hmm. “It’s hard for me to explain that part.”
“?”
“Actually, there was a different reason why I came to see Youngjun. “I think it will be explained when we go there.”
In those words.
I tilted my head and asked.
“Come to think of it. “I haven’t asked you yet why you came here.”
“Actually, he joined our group at first, but I felt sorry for leaving him alone for a few days… so I tried to take care of him.”
“What. “I got to know people over those few days and it was great for me.”
“I’m glad you think so. Anyway, the reason I came was because of something you asked me to do last time.”
“…?”
She got up and
He said as he left the building.
“Could you please follow me? “I’ll explain why.”
* * *
“Actually… things weren’t this bad not that long ago.”
After leaving the building.
Han Yi-seo headed somewhere and began to explain.
“People, in their own way, should all come together and survive. We all tended to hustle together. There were people who went against the atmosphere, but those people were resolved by the ‘association president’.”
Her gaze.
Headed beyond the wall.
“It must have been around October. “The snowstorm has become more intense and it has become difficult to go outside.”
“….”
“As you know, after that, all of our guild’s elites went missing… so people had no reason to despair.”
Up to this point, I had actually expected it to some extent.
What I was curious about was why the group was still able to function like this.
perhaps.
These three leaders are truly incredible leaders.
I wondered if it was somehow possible to lead even when people’s mentality was so divided.
“There’s a reason for that.”
Let’s follow her words and turn our heads.
A building was seen standing in the center of the group.
“Do you remember what you asked me to do last time?”
“What kind of favor do you mean?”
If you are asking me to find people.
Everyone in this area had already found me and I even visited them in person.
I wondered what they were talking about, but…
“You said you could listen to the radio, right?”
“…ah.”
In those words.
I was able to recall that I had once made such a request.
“I told you last time, Youngjun, that it would definitely be worth listening to at least once…”
And.
Let’s go into the building she guided us to.
Buzz, buzz…
“…what on earth is this?”
Huge numbers.
People who seemed to be most of the group were crowded inside.
-Crackling…
placed in the middle of it all.
Big radio.
-Hello…
From there.
-We are an army…
A crackling voice.
It started leaking.
