Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking - Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking chapter 41

Episode 41. Damn Story

Lemon and Melissa appeared while eating hot pot rice with a male child, causing a stir.

The child was greatly surprised when he hugged him, saying he was cute, and he was scolded for calming down his whining, asking why we didn’t serve food and why we ate alone instead of waiting.

This is because the finished pot rice is made into a rice bowl.

In the end, I had to make new rice for their breakfast.

After that, the villagers appeared in the clearing, and the intimidated child hid behind me.

It was a very noisy morning in many ways.

But the child did not run away from me.

It was a great development.

I was very satisfied that they seemed to be relying on me.

Lemon’s party left for a Carlisle boar hunt with the villagers after their meal.

This was also my request.

Since I went hunting for two days, I think I will have to cook and serve the villagers all day again tonight or tomorrow.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

Meanwhile, I am running endlessly through an unknown place.

‘In the world… Where are you going?’

Chasing after the beast child, he is going through the lush bushes and into the deep forest.

It seems like 30 minutes have already passed.

‘You’re not going to get lost like this, right?’

Suin Ai, who inhaled her bowl of rice until she was full and couldn’t eat anymore, suddenly grabbed her by the leg and dragged her.

As if to follow me.

As if asking me to go with you.

So I am now chasing the child across the Carlisle Mountains.

‘Are you inviting me to your house?’

Look at the back of the child running ahead.

At least I ate my fill today.

It is said that he usually traveled this distance every day with his skinny body.

Imagining that makes me frown.

‘I don’t think I’m tired at all for something like that… Even though I’m young, is it because I’m a blood relative of that monster?’

At that time, the child who was running ahead stopped.

A sheer cliff in front of her eyes.

There was a huge hole in the middle of the cliff.

“Is that cave your house?”

Suin Ai nods her head slowly.

I found out later, but fortunately, this child understood human language to some extent.

“Why did you bring me here? Do you want to feed my family with my cooking?”

She nods her head again.

I smiled brightly and raised one arm proudly.

“Leave it to me. I’ll cook the best for you.”

Then the child laughed Bessie for the first time in front of me.

But why?

Why does the child’s smile feel so sad?

I finally realized the reason after entering the cave.

“Welcome… Cool… Stranger. I am the head of the blue wolf clan… Cool… Cool…”

The one who greeted me inside the cave was an old wolf withering and dying.

* * *

I did my best.

However, the situation was not full of hope.

The wolf was dying.

I used my only recovery skill, the grace of the saint, and even used the potions I had left for emergencies, but to no avail.

“They say it won’t work. Cool… I know my body best… It’s not long…”

“But…”

The wolf cut me off.

She shook her head.

“Life is inevitable.”

The dark blue fur that grew all over the body was several times longer than that of a normal wolf.

It seems that it resembles a fox more than a wolf.

However, the area around the hair roots and long eyebrows were dyed pure white, as if it had been frosted.

I was able to guess the age of the wolf.

“I have a request.”

From noble mtl dot com

“I can make as many dishes as I want…”

The old wolf shook his head again.

“That’s not the story. Cool…”

“Then…”

“Rin… Take care of that child.”

“You mean me?”

The wolf slowly closes its eyes.

“I don’t know if you know it, but the gray wolves hate us.”

“I’ve already heard it.”

“I see… That child is still young, but he knows that fact better than anyone else. Besides, he must have felt it all the more painfully since he had no family left to support him.”

“……”

“I beg you. Can you take care of that child… Until that child grows up? .”

Diliring-

[Special quest has been renewed.]

[Special Request: Child of the Blue Wolf Clan (3)]

– The head of the Blue Wolf Clan left a will. We want you to look after the last blood of your clan.

– If you accept the will, the child of the blue wolf clan will follow you.

[Do you want to accept?]

‘Suddenly?’

I couldn’t help but panic.

Where is this absurd quest?

It was a difficult situation.

I wanted to help the child, but I had a lot to think about to accept right away.

No matter how different the situation is from Earth, I have never raised a child and I have no idea how to do it.

Just because that child was a beastman, or because he was pitiful or cute, he couldn’t just accept it.

‘But…’

But I couldn’t refuse right away.

I needed to see what would happen if I refused.

If we leave it as it is, the wolf will die and only that child will remain, but that child is being ostracized from the Gray Wolf Village, the only village around here.

When I couldn’t answer, the wolf continued.

“There are evil spirits roaming around here.”

“Yes?”

“Evil spirits parasitize on the weakness of our clan and eventually corrupt it. It’s a curse that has been going on ever since the wolf, who was the head of our clan long ago, made a pact with the devil.”

“Curse…”

“Fortunately, I haven’t been harmed so far, but everyone has left this place stained with evil. And when I’m gone, that child who will be left alone will have the same ending. So please… Cool… Cool. ..”

The wolf’s body sinks heavily.

“Kuluk, kuluk… I think I talked too much today… I need to get some rest… Wake me up when your troubles are over…”

“Ah…”

A child named Rin approached the wolf with his eyes closed.

Tears flow from her big eyes and run down her round cheeks.

I narrowed my eyebrows and turned around to exit the cave.

I couldn’t watch it any longer.

‘Damn it…’

I took out the stall.

Just like I promised, I want to make sure you eat at least some delicious food before you die.

However, my mind while trimming the ingredients showed no signs of calming down.

* * *

“It’s delicious… How could it taste like this…”

“Enjoy your meal. I made a lot.”

I showed you all the dishes you can make with the ingredients you have now.

From simple grilled meat to Jeon or Bulgogi.

Lemons and buffalo meat caught by the children were also used sparingly.

“Did you say Rin? Eat more, too. The amount is enough.”

A male child suddenly came to my side.

Then he clung to my leg and rubbed my cheek.

I hurriedly sat down on the floor.

Then Rin grabbed my body and clung to me, and started rubbing my cheek against my cheek.

It tickles.

Rin’s cheeks were very dirty as if they hadn’t been washed, but I didn’t deny it at all.

“Heh heh heh… Lynn is already following you. Then may I ask her what decision she made? Again, time is running out.”

“That’s…”

I don’t know.

No matter how much I thought about it, the answer was not given.

What is certain is that I cannot leave a child named Rin here…

‘Huh?’

Just as I was contemplating my final decision, a system message suddenly appeared.

[An evil spirit has appeared around the cave.]

“An evil spirit?”

I hurriedly took Rin, who was clinging to me, into her arms.

“Where is it?”

“They finally appeared…”

“Yes?”

“It must have appeared to take me away…”

After a while, something like black smoke flew into the cave and wandered in the air.

I hurriedly switched to a priest outfit.

The light of blessing emanated from the nightmare-awakening mace in his hand.

‘Where is this, the evil spirit bastard.’

Fearlessly appearing when there is a Priest?

[An evil spirit has clung to Flicke, the head of the Blue Wolf Clan.]

“Where!”

I poured out all the various blessings I had on the old wolf.

It was an attempt to block it somehow.

But it was to no avail.

Like a fate that can never be stopped.

Like a play that was designed this way from the beginning.

I could never stop the demon.

[Caution! The head of the blue wolf clan, ‘Flicke’, is turning into a demon.]

“uuu… Come on… Get out of here… Take Rin… Leave!”

I was very annoyed.

Originally, it was none of my part-time job no matter what happened to that old wolf.

But that wolf is Rin’s only family in my arms.

In the yard where it is pitiful to die of old age and illness, suddenly becoming a devil?

Even in front of Rin watching?

‘What kind of quest…’

Diliring-

[After a while, ‘Special Quest: Child of the Blue Wolf Clan (3)’ will be changed to ‘Urgent Quest: Defeat Demon Flicke’. After the change, you will no longer be able to proceed with special quests. Please complete this quest as soon as possible.]

‘Damn it!’

Now there is no time.

I was forced to make a choice.

‘I don’t know!’

It will work somehow.

Because there are lemons, and there are also mumu and melissa.

If you try your best and things don’t work out, you can leave Rin at Moo-moo or Melissa’s house.

Of course, you have to pay enough for childcare.

[You accepted.]

‘Very forced, forced! If it’s like this, why are you making me choose?’

[You have cleared ‘Special Quest: Child of the Blue Wolf Clan’.]

[Reward has been paid.]

– Became the sole guardian of Rin, the last survivor of the blue wolf clan.

It would have been nice if this was the end.

Eventually.

[The leader of the Blue Wolf clan, ‘Flicke’ has been transformed into ‘Demon Flicke’.]

Diliring-

[Caution!! An urgent request has occurred.]

[Urgent Request: Defeat the Devil Flicke]

– Flicke, the head of the Blue Wolf clan, has been demonized by an evil spirit. Demonized Flicke no longer remembers what happened in the past.

– A very powerful entity. Please be very careful.

– Goal: Defeat the demon Flicke

Damn developers.

The story was made like sh*t.

With one hand holding her crying Rin, she rushed out of the cave.

The demonized old wolf that followed me outside was in the same form as the lost family that hunted in the Blue Wolf Hill.

I finally realized.

When he was hunting Fenrir, where did the people he summoned come from?

[Devil Flicke Lv. 88]

‘I didn’t even use the monster’s appraisal, but they kindly tell me the level, right?’

What was in front of me right now was an existence that didn’t fit this dungeon at all.

“Kurrr…”

From its snout, the black demonic energy unique to Abyss dungeon monsters flowed endlessly.
