The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 85
Episode 85: Family (1)
“Give a dish made with blood to a night noble who has lost his power!? After all, the dish was made using his own blood!”
She says pointing at me.
“hmm? “How did you know it was my blood?”
“There’s no way I wouldn’t recognize the identity of blood once I’ve tasted it.”
As she said.
Numerous dishes made using the blood provided to her.
All the blood used there.
‘My sebum.’
Most of the monster’s meat is frozen.
It was also impossible to draw fresh blood.
But what’s the use of getting blood donations from soldiers?
Since the amount of blood used was considerable, I received quite a bit of help from the medics.
In the middle, I even made a dish that was said to be good for anemia and ate it myself.
“Your blood was still of good quality. “All of the woman’s blood was sucked out there.”
“Was it delicious?”
“It was incredibly delicious. The exquisite taste that cannot be explained simply by saying that the quality of the blood is good… The taste that makes me happy every time I take a bite…”
Even though I am a chef.
It’s a bit embarrassing to praise something like this right in front of my eyes.
“…no! “That doesn’t matter!”
Pop!
The thick chain that bound the queen’s body was lightly broken.
Even though it was already of good quality, I cooked it with care and ate it.
It’s natural for strength to recover.
“I don’t know what he was thinking when he fed the woman his blood, but since he has regained this much strength. “No matter what you do, it won’t help.”
“okay?”
“I don’t know how you acquired the power of a vampire, but the last time you were defeated, it was in a battle where you both lusted after each other’s blood. In a normal battle, I could easily beat you! I will shatter all your teeth so that you cannot suck your blood. You are a slave, not a servant…”
“If that’s what you want…”
I wonder if he regained his confidence as he regained his strength.
The queen shouts majestically.
After I approached her.
“Eat or eat.”
Lift the nape of your neck.
He thrust it in front of her.
Very good location for biting.
“…What are you planning?”
It’s like he didn’t know I would react like this.
The queen is embarrassed.
“What is your intention? He said he would make me one of his servants. They also said my blood was delicious. So, take a big bite.”
“I don’t know what your intention is, but if you thought that would make you feel intimidated-!”
“ah. But it would be good to know this one thing.”
Just before her teeth tore through a blood vessel in my neck.
I decided to tell her one thing.
“If you make me one of your servants, you will never be able to eat my cooking again.”
“…?”
The look in his eyes as if he was wondering what on earth he was talking about.
I need you to explain in a bit more detail.
“The people you took as subordinates.”
“You mean those children you killed?”
“uh. I took a look at those guys. “The profession was unified as one.”
“…that.”
Although they were collectively called vampires.
Among them are those who use magic, those who use swords, those who use bows, spears and axes, etc.
There was a mixture of various warriors.
But they only have one job.
“They were all vampire knights.”
I feel like knights are essentially general combatants who use bows, spears, and swords.
“Perhaps if I become one of your servants, I too will become a vampire knight, right?”
“…Maybe so.”
“Then I guess I’m right.”
The taste of my cooking is possible because I have a job as an ‘intermediate chef’.
This dish was made possible thanks to the chef’s characteristics and skills.
If you change into a vampire knight, your combat ability might increase.
but.
“You’ll probably never taste those dishes I cooked again.”
“I’ve heard many things about the phenomenon called awakening that humans experience, but…”
“Well. “That’s all I can tell you.”
He said, sticking his neck out again.
“Churai churai.”
“….”
“If you want to make me one of your servants, even if it means you won’t be able to eat my cooking. the way you want.”
however.
“…Ugh!”
The teeth touching my neck.
It didn’t get under my skin any further than that.
“Why don’t you ask? “It wouldn’t be difficult now.”
“You bastard…!”
“You say that if you suck all the blood from my body and put your blood in it, you will become one of my servants? ruler. hurry.”
“I hate poetry.”
rather.
She pushes me slightly as I stick my neck in.
“Let’s do it like this.”
But I still seem to be misunderstanding something.
She speaks with confidence.
“I will not make you one of my servants. Besides, I promise not to oppose you.”
The direction was roughly correct.
“In return, provide me with your own cooking regularly. How do you feel? “Isn’t that a bad thing for you too?”
“no way. “That’s not it.”
I need you to go a little further.
“There’s no need for me to cook for you. “If it was going to be hostile, I would have rather died.”
“…Are you trying to make fun of my wife!”
Do you want me to cook for you?
It’s not that I don’t like cooking.
You can do as much as you want.
“There should be conditions instead.”
“condition?”
I stretched out my finger and pointed to the floor.
He looked at her and said.
“Obey me.”
“…!”
This guy is a noble-level vampire.
A being that can turn ordinary humans into servants and increase the number of awakened people at a tremendous rate.
Even vampires created that way are quite powerful.
Even though they do not have proper equipment, they are comparable to the soldiers in our unit who are equipped with all kinds of buffs and equipment.
‘This time, I succeeded in countering it with the [Anti-Demon Light] buff. If it had been a normal level of buff cooking, we would have lost.’
It’s ridiculously strong.
If our guild’s equipment and cooking are added to it, it will become even stronger.
‘Killing beings capable of mass producing such vampires?’
It’s such a waste, isn’t it?
I failed to save my allies.
Shouldn’t we at least take care of this guy?
“Swear your obedience to me.”
“What?”
“Then I will take care of your meals. “I will provide you with dishes that will leave you impressed at every meal.”
“Huh…”
I’m holding on for now though.
I’m sure.
Lieutenant Kim and other criminals and looters.
An offer that many people have already been unable to refuse.
No matter how great a noble he is.
She has been tasting my cooking for a few days already.
There is no way I can give up that taste.
This time too, definitely-.
“Oh no.”
…uh?
What did I hear?
“No?”
This can’t be right.
“…Are you saying my cooking isn’t that attractive?”
My pride was severely hurt.
dare.
How dare you refuse my offer to cook my own food?
“I guess I only served regular dishes and felt that the taste wasn’t enough…!”
Now that it’s like this.
I’ll feed you a multi-course meal that I prepared with all my might.
If you show me a taste so delicious that I faint, I might change my mind a little.
“It’s not like that!”
“?”
“The original woman’s race. “The nobles of the night are a race derived from demons.”
I was thinking something like that.
I guess it wasn’t because my dish lacked flavor.
“There is power in the demon language. “Although she is a low-class noble, my daughter, who is a noble, also inherited those characteristics.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Explain in an easy-to-understand way.”
“The point is that what the main woman says has coercive power.”
in other words.
“The moment you say obedience… your wife will never be able to betray you.”
Once you swear obedience, you can never betray it.
that.
“Isn’t it better?”
“Do you know how much this means! This means that her very existence belongs to you! You’re sacrificing your own existence to someone else just for cooking. Doing something like that…!”
“ah. therefore.”
Stick your neck out again.
“If you don’t like it. “Drink my blood.”
“Ugh.”
“As you know, I am a very key person in this guild. If you make just me a servant, it will be a piece of cake to make the others a servant. “If you don’t want to obey me, you can do that.”
“….”
“You choose. “Queen.”
The queen trembles as she looks at my neck.
It would be a big problem if you really made me your servant here.
I was sure that wouldn’t happen.
There was only one basis for confidence.
‘Who made this dish?’
If others hear it, they might think it’s ridiculously weak evidence.
For me.
More solid evidence than anything else.
And just as I thought.
“Let’s say the main woman swore obedience. “You won’t break your promise to go and provide food then, right?”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
“…Swear! “I will never break my promise!”
“Oh, I swear.”
As a cook, it is my responsibility to feed my unit members.
If I come in as a subordinate, I don’t know anything else.
I plan to provide you with at least something to eat.
“Then… phew.”
She fell to her knees, trembling in shame.
I opened my mouth with a trembling voice.
“…a distant descendant of the great progenitor Bellatrix and a baronet of the Karstein bloodline. “I swear in the name of Ariela Karstein.”
The moment she said her oath.
It felt like the air around me was shaking loudly
.
Vibration of magical power.
In response to her oath, the magical energy began to stir loudly and swirl around her and me.
It was not difficult to guess the reason for this phenomenon.
[There is power in the language of demons.]
This is the power she spoke of.
This means that from now on, the oaths she speaks will be compulsory.
and.
“…I will give my all to you.”
“I accept it.”
He placed his hand on her kneeling head.
The moment I answered like that.
Tiring.
[A being from another world has sworn absolute loyalty to you.]
[Acquire a lineage.]
[Owned lineage (1)]
[Vampire Baronet – Ariella Karstein]
[Choose the head of the Karstein clan, Archduke Isabella. He is a noble of the night.]
[Although his rank as a blood relative is only a low rank, he is a member of a family with considerable talent.] [
Treat your family members with respect and raise them!]
[There is a possibility that they will reach a higher level with your assistance. .]
[Caution!]
[The dependent has lost a lot of power for some reason.]
[The dependent is like a part of your body!]
[Pay close attention to the status of the dependent!]
She is completely subordinate to me. It has been done.
The system acknowledged it.
‘It seems like a phrase that only appears on pets in games.’
and.
[Achievement: An Inescapable Taste (2)]
[Through cooking, we have succeeded in completely subjugating the nobles of the other world!]
[This is a level that was considered the realm of imagination among the achievements that can be achieved as a chef.] [
Experience points Obtained in large quantities.]
[As an achievement reward, [Top Quality Ingredient: Precious Blood of a Forgotten Saint] is provided.]
‘Even an achievement?’
I didn’t expect this.
While reading the message.
A bottle filled with a pure white liquid that gave off a faint light appeared before my eyes.
A light that feels similar to the [Light of Anti-Demon] that I experienced a while ago.
I put the bottle in my arms and checked the achievement message.
The name of the achievement is a taste that cannot be escaped.
…(2)
The thing called (2).
There was also an achievement in (1).
It didn’t take long to remember that.
“You’ve already achieved it.”
This is it.
past.
An achievement achieved when subduing Lieutenant Kim through cooking.
[A taste you can’t escape.]
The condition for achievement at the time was ‘bring one person under your control through cooking.’
When moving on to (2), did the condition change to ‘the nobles of this world will be under control’?
The level of difficulty has increased a little more.
‘for a moment.’
It was definitely the reward I got back then.
It was [Top Quality Ingredient: Heart of the Subdragon].
‘And that would have been the ingredient used in making the ability potion.’
That can’t be true.
[Pay 1000pts.]
I quickly opened the point shop and purchased a potion to increase ability points.
And let’s use food ingredient identification.
[Unidentified material – ??%]
[Heart of the subdragon – 10%]
[Unidentified material – ??%]
.
.
.
[Precious Blood of the Forgotten Saint – 10%]
‘As expected!’
This reward was also the highest quality ingredient used in ability potions.
Including the dragon’s heart, 20% of the materials have already been collected.
The moment you gather all these ingredients.
I will be able to cook ability potions myself.
From that moment on, our unit’s strength will grow exponentially stronger.
“Ah…”
I can’t believe I’m getting excited by that thought.
A vampire kneels in front of me.
Ariella let out a strange exclamation.
“What’s going on?”
I put my hand on the hilt of my sword, wondering if something was wrong.
I thought that the oath was a lie and that they could plot a rebellion right here.
“A thought that resonated in my head….”
A thought?
Come to think of it.
I said that last time too.
“It’s gone.”
From the eyes of a vampire who says that.
A teardrop fell.
