Have a Meal Before You Go

“Yes?”

Shadow Cat opens her eyes wide, then smiles softly. It was a cat-like smile.

“Yes. Do you know how to cook vegetables? ”

“I don't really know much, but I do have watermelon. Can I get you anything?”

“Watermelon!”

She chuckles. Then I nodded.

“Then I beg of you. ”

* * *

There are many ways to enjoy watermelon. It can be sliced and eaten, frozen and tasty. But today I'm going to try something more than that.

Cheolho came into the kitchen and sliced a barrel of watermelon in half. Then I set the flattened side up and began to cut off my innards with skill. It scrapes the inside out so that the shape of the bottom of the watermelon shell remains.

Then, slice the watermelon well into sizes that are good to eat. Then put it back in the shell.

It's good to put it gently.

You can eat watermelon once with your eyes and once more with a sweet aroma, and you can really eat it again. Then the watermelon shell cut in half is filled with watermelon inside.

I poured the cider all over it. When the bowl pours the cider almost to the point, the watermelon, which is good for eating on summer days, begins to show off its spicy scent.

You can slice any fruit depending on your preference.

For Cheolho, I preferred to add extra strawberries or kiwis. Slice the strawberries and kiwi into thin slices and place in a bowl.

Cut Mandragora into squares similar to other fruits and add more.

Finishing is ice.

First, she took the watermelon bowl to the table and went back down to take the ice, sparkling her eyes.

“Wow! It's a painting, right? ”

I asked her as if she was enjoying it.

“Yes.”

At Chulho's words, she smiles playfully and tucks her fingers into the air.

Blah, blah!

Ice has formed in the air. Once the cubed ice sculptures are in the bowl, it's complete.

“Oh, you're awake. ”

Chulho asked me a little surprised. Magchang said while drinking the trinket soup.

“She is the Ice Witch who guards the new village. ”

“Aha. You're the Guardian. ”

“....... I don't like the name. ”

Chae Yeon pouted. In fact, she didn't really like ‘modifier phrases’ that were prefixed with names. Sometimes my hands and feet growled, and first of all, it was not a very nice nickname.

Witches!

The code name came from the annual Battle Royale tournament at Cypher School. The user freezes the target completely and releases a blizzard around it.

It was a mistake. ’

Chulho sighs and smiles as he looks at her.

Somehow, some pretty amazing people keep coming, and Chulho suddenly looks at the Shadow Cat, thinking.

I didn't ask who he was. Definitely a guardian class or better.

Chulho returned the finished watermelon painting to the front of the Shadow Cat. With a big spoon.

“Wow!"

She smiles widely.

She smiles beautifully.

Even though Chae Yeon was cute, she thought this was really pretty, she noticed a clever nose blade and sculptural appearance that couldn't even be made with her past advanced molding skills.

It's too pretty in one word.

So strange. Cheolho felt a sense of otherness from her.

I hesitated a little, then shrugged my shoulders.

‘The Detect Eye. ’

“Thank you for the meal! ”

Shadow Cat raises her spoon, shouting for joy.

The spicy taste of cider, the sweetness of watermelon, and the crunchy feeling of chewing are pleasant. The ice made me feel so cold that the heat around me disappeared.

Especially.

The taste was very good, combined with the texture of the ripe fruits. She tilts her head, looking at the square yet radish addition. It was an additive that was sweet and crunchy, making the texture twice as good.

“Sounds delicious.”

Chae Yeon and the maestro nodded at the same time, looking at each other.

“Give us some too! ”

* * *

After three guests left, the car folded its arms and didn't say anything for a while.

The same is true of Cheolho.

“Cheolho.”

“Why.”

“Beautiful woman who just left. ”

I smiled.

“I see.”

“Too pretty to be human. ”

Khan's voice was serious. Cheolho lightly nodded his head.

“I see.”

“That doesn't look human. ”

“You got it right. ”

Khan was shocked. Chulho opens his mouth with an open base.

“That's an elf. ”

“Elves?”

The car shakes its head to the left and to the right as it sits fluffy on the chair.

“Somehow. I didn't want to be human. But elves usually have sharp ears, don't they? ”

“Hmm.”

Chulho folded his arms and thought, Is this a good place to eat? Or bad. Visitors are unique.

Well.

I don't think that's bad.

“Did they recognize us? ”

“No. There was no ability to perceive magic. ”

Chulho shrugs. I closed my eyes slightly and thought of her as the Detect child.

- Tendency: Neutral ( )

-Class: Ghost Vagina

Ascension

-Class Achievement Status: Master

Medium

- Acquisition Ability: Award

An Elf with Neutral Tendency.

How do you know that?

Only Elves can own a class called Ghostbusters. Besides, that side has already mastered the first class. You have mastered Ghost Vagina and selected an occult class.

Seeing that he was in the middle of achievement of the second class, it seemed like he had mastered for quite some time.

"Wouldn't that be the level of an Awakening that is classified as the first class in this world? ’

You're better than I thought.

I think we need to keep an eye on him.

“I'll see you next time. ”

By the way.

There are three watermelons left. I'd like to cut and eat two cans, and try one in an interesting way.

Chulho stretched his legs and headed for the kitchen.

“Khan!”

“Huh?"

“I'll let you eat something unique. ”

“Oh!”

The car jumps up and down. Khan asked as if he was excited.

“What can I do for you?" ”

“Hmmm…"

Cheolho pondered for a moment.

“Go clean up in front of the house. ”

* * *

I heard the sound of a crooked broom.

Chulho raises his sword while placing the watermelon.

First, slice off the head of the watermelon.

Then I began to spoof out the slightly exposed insides.

It's convenient to think that a narrow passageway makes the inside of watermelon hard. It needs to be done fairly. The more time you spend stirring the watermelon, the better the result will be.

If you stir the watermelon well enough, pour soju on it. I put soju in a bucket of watermelon. If you have finished pouring soju, you may add beverages as desired.

The fruity beverage can hurt the taste, so I picked up the cider and poured it further.

And then you stir it well. And then 20 minutes in the freezer.

It's called watermelon soju.

* * *

There were three people bursting out of the building where Temple Mercenaries were located.

“Oh, what a waste, after all. ”

Shadow Cat nods at Chae Yeon's words.

He leaned against the wall and let out a deep sigh.

“If the old lady disappeared without a trace, wouldn't it be okay to assume there's a new algorithm for Mandragora to disappear naturally? ”

Shadow Cat screams out loud.

“This kid, who do you want to call an old lady? ”

“I'm busy, too. And there's no clue. No witnesses, no distribution, no victims. By the way, who elected Mandragora? Does that make any sense? There's no way anyone in this country can pull it out without a rat or a bird knowing it. ”

Moreover, Shadow Cat has investigated and found nothing. The reason she's a first-rate Awakener is because one of her forces is equivalent to the power of thousands of ordinary people.

If she investigates and doesn't come up with a normal answer, it's like there's an answer in a strange direction.

“Well……"

If you think about it, you're right.

In three alternate kilometers, Yeon-yeon's team watched. I couldn't have been invisible if someone had stolen it.

Magchang sniffed and added.

“Just in case, I don't know who ate it all. It's pretty cold out tonight. even in the summer.”

Shadow Cat shakes her head sideways and sideways.

With only one clue left, Mandragora disappeared naturally.

As she ponders for a long time, she shakes her head.

First report to superiors. Well, the researchers might come up with a new hypothesis about the Mandragora attack.

But she felt something strange. It was instinctive.

‘There's something fishy going on. ’

There's no evidence. It's just severe.

Something is happening in this city, "he muttered. That's how the three rooms of the night split.

Shadow Cat tilts her head as she runs through the night. Summer night's pretty cool.

‘The restaurant. ’

I strangely remembered the restaurant. Why is it stuck in my head? Having a nice meal in a while?

Hmm.......

Strange intuitions kept coming back to me. But when she saw them, no matter how ordinary they were,

"I don't know."

By the way.

‘I want to go again. Is it because it's a good store? ’

As a strange thought comes to pass, her new form fades into the darkness.

* * *

Cheolho pulled the watermelon out of the freezer.

I felt a cold liquid surging.

Punch the watermelon body as it is. A red soju spills out through the hole. After filling two 500-minute beers, you take a moment to look at the status quo.

The end is to slice the last of the Mandragora well and float it in a glass.

This has consumed all of the so-called madrago.

I've also made quite a lot of chopping, so the more ripe it gets, the better it gets.

“Wow."

Khan opened his mouth.

Samgyang is good and watermelon is also good. They're all delicious in the summer.

But...

“In summer, it's watermelon. ”

Chulho laughs and raises his cup. Khan also raises his glass, and two glasses meet.

Two drunkards chew up the last of the Mandragoras! and swallowed.
