I Became a Food Developer in Another World - Chapter 53



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

The ‘Sleepless Potion’ contest will have its final results after the members of the Blue Tower vote.

In the indoor auditorium were sitting magicians who had come to participate in the contest or watch the awards ceremony.

Aria asked me as she saw me yawning slightly.

“You didn’t sleep last night?”

“No, I slept too well.”

I slept so soundly that I wanted to stay in bed longer. The mornings at Matap started early in the morning.

‘It looks like they didn’t sleep well over there.’

Suddenly, I saw where Ayla was and muttered to myself.

Ayla had a pale face, as if she had been up all night.

Was Snoopy that scary?

‘This is similar.’

Even though I pretended not to be Aria, I was surprisingly scared.

Aria, whose eyes met mine, tilted her head.

“why?”

“It’s nothing.”

He gave a vague answer and turned his gaze to the stage.

At that moment, the elder of Cheongtap was announcing the winner of the contest.

“Target 758 votes.”

And the result is.

“Snoopy Coffee Milk. White Matte Top Glass Grey.”

Snoopy Coffee Milk was a landslide winner.

Considering that the number of people inside the Cheongtap was approximately one thousand, it could be said that the result was overwhelming.

“Congratulations.”

“thank you.”

I went up to the stage and received a plaque and a certificate of appreciation from the elder of Cheongtap who had been judging me.

“I really enjoyed Snoopy’s coffee milk too.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed it.”

“Haha, I only emptied half the can, but it took me two nights.”

Maybe because the people of this world don’t have a tolerance to caffeine, they especially enjoyed Snoopy’s milk. But it was rare for two days.

“Here is the magic stone of the injured Horun.”

“Thank you.”

I received the case containing the pink magic stone and put it in my pocket.

Because it was a valuable item worth a whopping 5 million gold.

‘As expected, it’s the 12-story pagoda.’

Although it was a target, it was big.

*

I had received the prize and even an expensive magic stone, but there was still more to receive.

“I admit defeat.”

Ayla Evanail.

Ayla, who had made a bet with me, admitted her defeat.

“I’m surprised you can summon a spirit with milk.”

In the first place, the reason I entered the Cheongtap contest was because of Ayla’s recommendation.

“I would like to do it again, but a promise is a promise….”

Ayla took off her bracelet and handed it to me with a look of regret.

It was a magical tool worth millions of gold and inlaid with blue sapphires.

“These are the tears of the sea god that I promised to give you.”

“Thank you.”

I took the bracelet and put it away with a look of surprise on my face.

‘He gives it to me more readily than I expected.’

To be honest, I was wondering how I could receive it if they didn’t give it to me.

If Ayla, the high-ranking magician of the Blue Tower, had decided to ignore it, it wouldn’t have been easy for me to accept it.

However, Ayla showed her generosity by coming first and handing over the bracelet.

But Ayla’s ears were drooping down, as if she was trying to act strong.

I looked at Ayla for a moment, who was secretly stroking her empty arms, and then opened my mouth.

“Well, honestly, I almost lost.”

“?”

“yes?”

At that moment, the two sisters, Ayla and Aria, who were sitting there, opened their eyes wide at the same time.

The two sisters looking at me had a look in their eyes that seemed to be asking, ‘What the hell is this?’

I knew I was talking nonsense, so it was hard to bear that gaze, but I couldn’t help it.

Because I was the Snoopy who made Ayla set up the night before.

It was sad enough to have my bracelet stolen, but it also kept me up at night.

Even Ayla seemed to believe that Snoopy, who didn’t exist, was real.

If I have a grudge with Ayla, the potion maker, it means I have to be careful about what I drink. I wanted to avoid that risk.

“I never would have guessed that they would mix mandragora with cola tree….”

I forced myself to compliment Ayla, remembering the drink she had made.

In fact, I didn’t even know what kind of synergistic effect mandragora and kola tree had.

But Ayla’s ears, which had been drooping, perked up like a water-filled flowerpot.

‘You react really quickly.’

Ayla was the type who was very weak to compliments.

“If I had used a living mandragora, I probably would have had a hard time too.”

“Uh, ahem. I see you noticed. But I couldn’t help it. It’s morally wrong to use living creatures.”

“I see.”

I almost laughed at his suddenly brightened expression, but I forced myself to nod with a serious expression.

Aria looked at me like this with a dumbfounded expression as if to say, ‘What are you doing?’, but I pretended not to see and ignored her.

“But is what you said last time true?”

“What are you talking about?”

Ayla glanced at Aria and whispered quietly in my ear.

“I said I looked like Aria.”

“Oh, yes. They look the same.”

Don’t you know it when you see it yourself?

When I answered with a puzzled look, Ayla blushed and avoided eye contact, coughing in vain.

“Hmm, hm. Well, I guess it could be seen that way since we’re sisters.”

It was obvious that he was trying hard to hide his happiness.

Then, when his eyes met with Aria’s, he was startled and ran away.

Anyway, he was not a very honest person.

*

“What were you two talking about just now?”

“what?”

“We talked in whispers.”

“Oh, that? It’s nothing.”

Aria frowned, but I tried to cover it up and didn’t tell her properly.

We were now out at Union’s Tavern celebrating Snoopy’s grand prize.

The processed food craze was spreading throughout Union, so chicken and ramen were common.

However, perhaps because the weather was cold in the northern region, cola was not very popular.

Instead… .

“Hey, so how did Snoopy T react?”

“The effect was amazing. They said it was a ghost.”

High-alcohol fruit wines sold well.

“That’s right. I made it glow-in-the-dark so it’ll be visible at night.”

As she said that, Aria’s face blushed faintly.

‘I heard he’s secretly weak to alcohol.’

He had only drank two glasses of fruit wine, but he already looked drunk.

Of course, this wasn’t just because Aria was weak to alcohol.

Because the liquors from the northern region of Union tend to have high alcohol content.

‘I think distilled liquor would be perfect.’

There was nothing better than distilled liquor to withstand the cold. However, distilled liquor had not yet been born in this world.

No, I couldn’t.

‘Alcohol’ is used to disinfect wounds and is also the main ingredient in healing potions.

For this reason, pure alcohol is treated as ‘holy water’ in this world.

It was illegal for individuals or groups to make and sell alcohol on their own.

There was a funny law that pure alcohol could only be manufactured in a ‘church’ because it was ‘holy water’.

However, there was one group recognized by these churches that was the only one able to produce pure alcohol on a large scale.

It is the ‘Cheongtap’.

The Cheongtap, which was serious about potions, was a magic tower that produced alcohol in large quantities to the point where it even set up a holy water manufacturing plant inside the tower.

‘I want to try making distilled liquor by combining… … .’

For that to happen, Ayla’s help was absolutely necessary.

There was no way Cheongtap would accept my request to make holy water into alcohol and sell it.

While thinking about such things, I asked Aria what I was curious about.

“Why do you hate Ayla?”

“I don’t particularly hate it. I just find it annoying.”

Aria frowned.

“When that person sees me, he runs away like a sinner.”

Aria drinks fruit wine, saying she gets annoyed when people keep avoiding conversation.

It’s not like things weren’t bad between the two sisters from the beginning.

Rather, it is said that the relationship between Aria and Ayla was very good.

The reason the relationship between the sisters became strained was because of Cheongtap’s ‘competitive culture’.

‘It was a bit harsh.’

The wizards of the Blue Tower live by ‘evaluation’.

Among them, Aria, who was particularly talented, received all of the expectations of the Blue Tower.

The demands placed on Aria at the Blue Tower were just as harsh as those expectations.

“… There was even a crazy elder who told me to kick them out in the middle of winter and survive with only magic power.”

Aria frowned as memories of the past came to mind.

Aria found it very difficult to live up to the expectations of the Blue Tower every single day.

Aria’s childhood was so harsh that she would fall asleep as soon as she got home.

And Ayla did not just watch these harsh expectations being placed on her younger sister.

Ayla took everything away from Aria, so that Aria could be at ease.

It was all to make my younger brother comfortable.

However, this became the opportunity for Aria to be ‘devalued’ by being compared to Ayla.

Aria was fed up with this comparative culture of the Blue Tower and left the tower.

But that doesn’t mean Aria resented or hated Ayla.

After all, it was something I chose on my own.

However, Ayla thinks that it is all her fault that Aria left the Blue Tower and avoids Aria like a guilty person.

Not even giving me a chance to have a proper conversation.

“I’m not a stalker, I’m just wearing a robe and running away if I get caught?”

Aria pointed to someone as if to give an example.

“Just like that guy over there.”

A woman wearing a robe over her head and a mask covering her face was ordering food at the counter.

“Please give me three mint chocolates.”

A woman who orders mint chocolate in a quiet voice, perhaps embarrassed to do so.

And then the sight of him loitering around became quite familiar.

At that moment, the woman’s gaze met mine.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The purple pupils dilate like a rabbit’s.

“Miss Ayla?”

“Oh, you’ve got the wrong person!”

As soon as the mint chocolate I ordered arrived, the woman who appeared to be Ayla ran away with it in her arms.
