Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking - Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking chapter 71

Episode 71. I’m back

From noble mtl dot com

It was after the sun went down when the news reached me.

Ms. Laura came to the lodging where I was staying.

She was able to hear from her that her assassins had confessed and that the city guards had arrested Kim Min-chul for it.

She says that even her other co-workers were caught.

In addition, an unexpected name popped up.

“Dylan?”

“Why? Could it be that Mr. Jeon doesn’t know anyone?”

“No. I remember who it was, but it’s ridiculous that he has such a grudge that he wants to kill me.”

It’s really absurd.

The only thing I did to him was that he refused to join the guild.

Because of that, you conspired with Kim Min-cheol to kill me?

‘How can I live in fear of this…’

He kills people for just that kind of thing.

“Don’t worry. The assassins all confessed.”

“I’m glad. But did you come all the way here to tell me that?”

“Heh, of course. If you’re grateful, please take good care of me in the future. Mr. Jeon.”

The person who helped me the most this time was definitely her.

Thanks to the informants she had with her, she was able to figure out the trends of Kim Min-cheol and her former party members.

She didn’t have to show condescension in this way, she was going to show her gratitude enough.

‘This person is too outspoken.’

“By the way, were all the other guys arrested besides Kim Min-cheol?”

“It looks like that. It doesn’t look like everyone was involved in the self-assassination, but there must have been something suspicious. Still, you’ll be released soon. Pay a fine.”

“What about Kim Min-chul? Oh, and a guy named Dylan.”

“Well, I’m not sure about that. No summoner has ever been executed according to the law here. Not even if they have been assassinated or killed in battle.”

Nothing like the old affection is left.

It’s none of my business what happens to Kim Min-cheol.

He tried to kill me, but I’m not merciful enough to forgive him.

After all, if he thinks he’s walking around again, how can he live with anxiety?

Not only me, but Rin and the kids too, may live in anxiety with a worried heart.

Even if it’s not so, I haven’t slept very well for the past few days, and even when I do, I’ve been busy having nightmares.

‘It was fortunate that Rin was there.’

Even if I don’t sleep, I feel calm when I see Rin asleep.

How comforting it was to not have to eat alone.

Sometimes he wanted to see Lemon or the children, but he never whined about it.

He must have cared about me in his own way.

‘Can I go back tomorrow?’

I’ll have to come back for the trial, but it looks like all the culprits have been arrested.

You can go to Pixel tomorrow.

‘Are they doing well?’

It’s already been a week.

I know about the safe and sound news thanks to Laura-san’s informant, but by now the dishes I’ve left with you must have run out.

Because a la carte dishes are not made in such a large quantity.

“Um, but Laura? Aren’t you going home?”

“Let’s just go… Like this?”

“Yes?”

When I panic, she smiles.

“I was joking. Surprised”

“Ah…”

I inadvertently looked back.

Normally, Lemon standing behind me would have opened his ax eye.

Now there is no one there.

‘What can I do with just one week…’

Anyway, it seems that the older you get, the richer your sensitivity becomes.

I saw Laura-san off and returned to the bed where Rin slept.

She muttered to herself as she looked at the cute Rin who was soundly asleep.

“Rin. Let’s go see them tomorrow. They’re probably going to miss you by now.”

A huge outer wall enclosing the city of Felon.

The prison in the basement was unusually noisy today.

“I can’t be quiet!”

Shouted the jailer.

Still, the prisoners in prison did not stop their mouths.

You know.

That they wouldn’t be able to treat them carelessly.

We were the ones summoned by the god you believe in to punish evil, and it was the belief that you dared not do anything about it.

But they didn’t know.

If it wasn’t something I couldn’t treat carelessly, I wouldn’t have brought her here in the first place.

“What is this really like!”

“Ah, Cha Soo-yeon! Your ears hurt, so be quiet. Everything is completely blocked, so everything echoes!”

“Shut up, Ko Tae-hyuk!”

All party members were dragged.

I couldn’t even resist.

Not only the city guards of Felon, but also knights directly under the lord who reached level 90 came armed to the inn.

“Oppa! Mincheol oppa! Say something! Was Myungsik real? Did you really want to hire an assassin to kill Taemin!”

Kim Min-cheol, who is imprisoned in a different cell, did not give any answer.

“Myungsik oppa! Oppa tell me instead! Is it real!”

“Ah, shut up, Soo-yeon! It’s true, we must have been dragged! We were dragged because of you!”

“Hey Ko Tae-hyeok! You talk strangely? Why are you being dragged because of me?”

“Because you stupidly said that in front of the guards, they didn’t think we were one of them and dragged them along. I just wanted you to stay still!”

They continued to talk even while imprisoned.

The guard couldn’t stand it and knocked on the iron door several times.

“I’m recording everything you guys say! Keep talking about it. It will work against the trial.”

After saying this, I finally became quiet.

But that’s only for a while.

Now, various questions began to pour in to the jailer himself.

“Mister. What’s going to happen to us? For what crime were we arrested? There must be a reason!”

But there was no reply.

At one point, I tried to bribe the jailer with money.

The equipment was forcibly removed, and the uniform was unified into the same prison uniform, but the inventory was still available.

Of course, weapons and equipment items could not be worn or taken out.

“How about a thousand gold?”

“……”

“2,000 Gold? 3,000, 4,000… Ah, 10,000 gold!”

But it was to no avail.

They didn’t know much about it, but there was a condition that had to be preceded in order to buy the guard and the chief guard.

Unless you can achieve that condition, you won’t get what you want no matter how much money you pay.

“aaa! What is this really like because of Mincheol oppa! I’m annoyed!”

“Ah… The real situation is going filthy…”

“I’m hungry…”

“Hey, Yoo Hye-soo. Is it a problem that you’re hungry right now?”

“So what? There’s no way to get out right away…”

“Myungsik oppa! Myungsik oppa, try something.”

“……”

“Ha… Why, those older brothers did the wrong thing and we have to be put in this situation?”

In the end, Kim Min-cheol’s party had to spend an entire day in a dark dungeon where almost no light came in.

But no one knew whether that day would turn into two days, or three days, or maybe four days or more.

Arrived at Pixel.

“Papa. Lin, Mama Burger Sipper!”

“Yes. Let’s go see it. That’s what I came here for.”

Pixel came back after a week and nothing really has changed.

I put Lynn on her shoulder and trotted across the city.

‘Am I already leaving for the dungeon at this time?’

First of all, I plan to stop by the inn where they are staying, then the adventurer’s guild, and if it’s not there, I’ll go to the orc field.

But since we left early in the morning, I wonder if we are still at the inn.

I’ve told the city guards in Felon where I’m going, so they’ll be in touch if there’s anything special about this case or if a trial date is set.

So, I can go back to my daily routine from a week ago.

No one was hurt.

Nothing has changed.

I made up my mind to think so.

Opposite the Adventurer’s Guild West of Pixel.

I opened the door, entered, greeted the owner of the inn, and immediately climbed the stairs.

Fortunately, it seems they haven’t left for the dungeon yet.

“Huh… Is this the last one?”

As I climb the stairs, I slowly hear a voice.

It was Melissa’s voice, somehow downcast.

Climbed all the stairs, took a few steps down the hallway, and pushed the wooden door slightly.

‘The defenseless guys.’

It wasn’t locked.

Well, it’s a wooden door that can easily be broken down if you set your mind to it, but it’s still three women using it and won’t lock the door.

I was worried about this one, so I even asked someone I wouldn’t want to ask for an escort.

Kiik- The door opens and the space beyond comes into view.

Eyes widened like rabbits.

All three women have the same expression.

Are you living together and even resembling each other?

“I’m back.”

“Ah, mister! Lin!”

“Ahhhhh. I missed you.”

First, Melissa ran into my arms.

I lifted him up and hugged him.

He also stroked her hair.

Conversely, Rin jumped off my shoulder and ran to Lemon’s arms.

“Mamaa”

“Lin!”

Because of how tightly they hugged each other, anyone who saw them would think it was a family reunion.

“Old man.”

“Melissa. Stop getting tangled up and get off now.”

“Sir.”

“Mumu is waiting too.”

“I don’t like it. It will stay like this.”

“Anyway, this guy. When I said he was leveling up, he only became spoiled.”

Mumu looks at me from behind with an envious face.

I walked over carrying Melissa, who clung to me and didn’t want to fall, and stroked Mumu’s hair.

“How are you?”

“Yes… Hee hee.”

Mumu smiles shyly with wet eyes.

It was the appearance of a young girl.

What kind of party reunion is this?

It’s just a sight of the fallen family reuniting.

But it’s not bad.

No, it was rather good.

It felt like the fatigue and stress that had accumulated over the week was washed away in an instant.

It seemed that I had finally returned to where I belonged.
