The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 459



Only Noblemtl

Episode 459 Answer.

I’m not sure though.

This guy wants to be friendly with us.

Perhaps there is some purpose to it.

But whatever the purpose,

This guy had no animosity towards us.

In order to build that friendly relationship, it was giving us an advantage.

‘This destruction is too cruel for humanity to overcome alone. I’ve known that from the beginning.’

then.

‘The more alliances, the better.’

I looked at the scenery outside the window.

-Ugh… … .

Those monsters roaming around outside.

It is an overwhelming force that can fill the entire Gangnam area.

The quality of the troops was not bad at all.

The downside is that there aren’t any strong players beyond a certain level, but our unit can handle that.

furthermore.

‘Overwhelming healing powers that cannot even be compared to those of the therapists in our unit.’

The Awakened One’s abilities are certainly powerful.

but.

Those [Cheonsanmu-gwan] unmanned personnel.

Dwarves buried in the [underground mine].

Borjin of [Green Mane], who has interacted with spirits throughout his life.

Compared to other world beings with specialized abilities in each field.

It was true that the Awakened Ones’ abilities were somewhat lacking.

and.

‘There was a lot to learn there.’

The warriors of our unit have grown tremendously through the teachings of Cheonsanmu-gwan.

Technologists and wizards experience revolutionary technological advancements through knowledge buried in underground mines.

Just as Jeong Su-ah gained enlightenment in spiritism through Borjin.

Interaction with otherworldly beings, each specialized in their own field.

It brought about explosive growth for our unit.

‘This guy could be a great revelation to therapists.’

then.

Even if we exclude those troops.

That alone was enough to make friendly relations worthwhile.

instead.

To do that.

‘I guess I’ll have to check.’

What is its purpose?

and.

“Why did you help us… … even while standing up to such a powerful being?”

What are you hiding?

{… … I attacked you wrongly. There was clearly a reason for me to make up for that mistake.}

“That’s not all.”

It’s not my place to say this, as I received help.

It’s not easy to help someone while going up against someone like [the godmother].

Still, the guy helped us.

The guy who hated wasting his own troops so much dropped countless troops into that great mother’s territory to help us.

{… … .}

Let me ask you this question.

The taste I felt from him changed drastically.

The feeling I get from that taste is… …a faint bitterness.

‘perplexity.’

and.

… … Very strong spicy flavor.

‘Extreme… … anger.’

and.

The guy answered my question like that.

{I hate those guys who say they’re gods and all…}

“what?”

Very sincerely.

He gave me the answer.

Then, all of a sudden, I felt weak.

A monster lying on the table.

But it was lying there without any strength.

The words that came out of his mouth.

{They’re just liars.}

clearly.

It contained only the truth.

* * *

“… … So? What happened?”

After the treatment is over.

When I asked that question to the empty space,

-It was nothing special.

The answer came from beneath my feet.

[Taste bud enhancement] confirmed that he has no hostility towards me.

Still, you never know.

I was still wary of that doctor.

“There was nothing? Is that true?”

-Yes. It was the same during the first surgery, but those monsters came out in droves and performed the surgery on the master.

With such an ugly appearance.

Just looking at the monsters they’re dragging around, it’s not normal.

How could one easily believe in such a being?

-If we felt any malice, we would have reacted… … .

“It was normal treatment… … This is it.”

-Yes. The surgery scene was a bit, how should I put it… …difficult to watch.

I’m worried that you might do something weird during my treatment.

I ordered Ariella and the vampires to closely monitor the treatment process.

But, it seems like he didn’t do that.

“That’s fortunate. But just in case, you shouldn’t let your guard down. If you feel like something is wrong with your body… …you know?”

-Yes. Even if I don’t want to, my body reacts automatically, so don’t worry.

The oath of the servants prevents them from doing anything that would harm their master’s body.

If a situation arises that seems like it might be a problem, that oath will react immediately and protect me.

‘It doesn’t seem like he’s done anything special yet… … He must have some intentions.’

Although I was wary of what was inside.

I continued my dealings with the guy.

[Food ingredient identification (reinforcement)]

[Blood’s Hand, Power]

What we hunted next was.

It was a bizarre monster that had the shape of a giant moving heart.

-Tsk… … It’s disgusting.

‘That guy is a bloodthirsty demon. Isn’t he a similar type of monster to you?’

-Oh my goodness. Are you comparing us noble nobles to such beasts? Later, I will slowly educate you on how the civilization of the nobles flourished… … .

The blood vessels that sprouted from the heart moved like giant snakes and attacked us.

Even though it was clearly a blood vessel, it was so tough and hard that even a knife couldn’t cut it properly.

{The source of the commander’s vitality seems to come from his blood.}

“That’s true. But you said it too, right? If I use too much of this blood, I… … .”

{You’re going to lose your humanity. I know that. But… …there’s a way to do it without increasing the amount of blood.}

The guy’s blood vessels.

It replaced my blood vessels, which had become, as the doctor put it, a ‘rag’.

{The blood flowing through the commander’s body was certainly strong, but the blood vessels that contained that blood were very weak. The flow must have become even more gentle.}

Sarak.

He took the knife and lightly cut my arm.

The wound healed in an instant.

‘After returning from Gyeonggi-do, my weakened resilience… … came back.’

No, it wasn’t at the level of returning.

Looks much faster than before.

‘I guess that beast thing is quite useful.’

-… … .

and.

There is always a short recovery period after surgery.

At that time, I.

“What we talked about last time.”

{That story again.}

I decided to ask the guy a question.

Let me bring it up.

The doctor guy replied with a noticeable look of dislike.

{It’s true that it’s good if there’s trust between doctors and patients, but there are many opinions on whether private areas should be shared. For your information, I’m against it.}

“Why are you so sensitive? I’m just asking out of curiosity.”

{I don’t think that’s the reason.}

Whether he likes it or not.

I thought about the following question:

‘I have another question I’d like to ask, though.’

That’s the part I think he’d be reluctant to answer.

No matter what, I need this treatment.

It’s not good to ask strange questions rashly and then have your treatment stop.

I decided to ask another question first.

“I came to see you because of a certain rumor.”

{rumor?}

“There was a rumor that there was an excellent doctor in Gangnam.”

The reason I came to find this guy is.

It was the power of [The Blue Bird of Rumors] that Jang Young-woong gave me as a gift.

And the blue bird’s ability is literally to spread rumors.

“You don’t seem to interact with humans, so I’m curious as to how such a rumor spread.”

{Oh, that’s what it is.}

To my question:

The guy answered indifferently, despite the fact that he hated it.

{It’s nothing. I’ve had similar deals before I met the commander.}

“transaction?”

{If someone can afford to pay a reasonable price for treatment, they will be treated.}

“You said you treated… other people?”

{I have never used such precious materials as the Legion Commander. You… … I also gained knowledge about the native species and information about the Legion at that time. I received information in exchange for some treatments.}

I guess so.

This guy seemed to have had contact with humans other than us.

[Ghost Sword Ghost]

[The ghost of an old warrior who roams the world with only his bones left.]

Next.

The creaking sensation in my joints has completely disappeared.

“… … You said you met humans. Well then.”

{Um, something.}

“if.”

I am.

I asked the guy in a slightly trembling voice.

“Have you ever betrayed those humans or anything…?”

{… … Betrayal?}

“I was curious about what happened to the people you dealt with.”

This guy is a monster.

furthermore.

When I see all the monsters roaming around out there… … .

I can also guess what this guy’s troops were called.

‘This isn’t the normal way.’

Just in case.

After that deal, I thought he might have betrayed the humans he had dealt with.

{What happened? … He recovered well and left.}

“… … .”

There was not a whiff of a lie in what he said.

It seems he didn’t betray those humans or anything.

{If you’re asking what happened after that, I don’t know. I took responsibility for the treatment, but I have no reason to take responsibility for the aftercare.}

what.

I know the ending, though.

Because there are no humans living on this earth now.

“… … Those people are amazing. Even if they need treatment, they still want to make a deal with a guy like you.”

This guy’s appearance was as hideous as any monster I’ve ever seen.

Normally, I wouldn’t even think of talking to him.

I could guess how desperate the people who did business with this guy were.

however.

{… … A guy like you.}

To my words:

The ‘doctor’ answered in a somewhat bewildered tone.

{What’s wrong with me that makes me like that?}

“……uh.”

{I know it’s hard to say this myself… … I’m diligently attending to the commander’s treatment. I’m also honestly answering questions outside of work.}

and.

I couldn’t help but chuckle as I sensed the emotion coming from the guy.

That’s understandable, this guy.

{I’m investing a lot for the Commander… … and the Commander calls me a guy like you.}

“… … Are you upset?”

{Isn’t that okay?}

To the words I said without thinking.

Because I was feeling sad.

* * *

{It’s been like that since our first meeting.}

There was no great shaking in the voice itself that echoed in my head.

but.

{It is true that my first meeting with the commander was not a good one… … . I remember apologizing for the inconvenience and trying to help him in my own way, even giving him advice.}

“That’s right.”

That is true.

Thanks for that advice actually.

Because I was able to access the identity of that other world.

{But even then… … the commander said something like, let’s fight first.}

“That too… … That’s true, though.”

That statement was also true.

The guy wanted to retreat from the battle.

I did try to grab it and fight for it.

{After that, when I saw the other world that covered this land shaking, I sent my children there without hesitation to help the commander.}

“… … .”

That’s true too.

Without that force, it would have been impossible to even hold out until the godmother made the choice to step down.

{And yet, the commander… … asked me for treatment, but he was only suspicious of the treatment and angry.}

“Hey, that’s it.”

{Do you know, Commander, how many troops I have deployed to help you? This land… … is full of strong enemies in the area called Seoul. Even I am not in a very safe position in this land. And yet I helped you while enduring so much damage… … .}

“therefore.”

{Since the commander’s health didn’t look good, I advised him to come back later for treatment. After he actually came, I guided him through the best treatment I could, but… … The commander was angry at the fact that I couldn’t restore his body to its original state.}

It’s really surprising.

The words that guy is spouting out are… … .

{He got angry and said that I gave him proper treatment and made him lose his human nature without even listening to his explanation… … Honestly, I wondered why he had to belittle the medical skills I had trained my entire life when I didn’t deserve his gratitude.}

It was a fact without a single lie.

and.

I thought as I listened to that guy.

‘What on earth are you planning?’

Why are you suddenly expressing your disappointment to me like that?

What is the hidden intention behind that action?

I racked my brain as quickly as I could to figure out what he was really thinking.

‘……ah.’

and.

As I thought about it, I was able to notice one thing.

‘I’m not hiding my true intentions.’

I opened my mouth with a trembling voice.

“Surely you are… … .”

For me.

It was truly an unbelievable fact.

“You don’t have any hidden intentions?”

{… … This is ridiculous.}

This guy.

You weren’t hiding anything from me.

{Have I ever told a single lie to the Commander?}

“… … .”

This guy is for me.

I was being extremely honest with you.
