As they had been using preserved food since the third day, the sudden appearance of fresh ingredients was puzzling.
“Tuariche lady, you woke up early. Today’s breakfast menu is skewers!”
Seeing Liche approaching near the grill, the cook greeted her cheerfully. He seemed very pleased.
“Hello. It looks delicious. Did you get this much fresh meat early in the morning? Did the mercenaries hunt?”
Liche glanced at Morgan’s uniform and Hamad’s work clothes as she spoke. The word ‘Udik’ was embroidered on Hamad’s work clothes.
“We heard that we are competitors with Udik Academy. Still, instead of walking all night to the campsite, wouldn’t it be better to sleep at our camp and join the team at the contest venue tomorrow? It’s the qualification assessment tomorrow.”
She even takes care of the enemy’s condition management. Hamad, who was in front of the angelic halo, made a shadow with his hand.
“Then…”
After exchanging glances with Morgan and Hamad, Liche nodded slightly.
“It’s shameless, but we’ll rely on you for one night.”
After saying that, Morgan introduced himself and Hamad to Liche.
“I’m Morgan Dial. This is Hamad Rick.”
“I’m Tuariche Roadwick.”
Liche offered a gentle smile and extended her hand.
Morgan briefly stared at the hand Liche offered, then carefully shook it.
“Nice to meet you, Tuariche.”
‘How can that be.’
“Um….”
Liche let out a hesitant sigh.
As the chef mentioned, the skewers, grilled to perfection, looked appetizing.
However, the image of the whimpering monster from the night before flashed in her mind, making it difficult for her to bite into it willingly.
…Should I give it a try?
“Tuariche?”
As Liche was determined to bring the skewer to her mouth,
Someone called out to her.
Turning around, it was Morgan. He was coming out of the tent, drying his wet hair with a towel.
Liche put down the skewer and warmly greeted Morgan.
“Hello, Morgan. Did you sleep here? Did you wash up? Was there enough water in the tent?”
“Yeah. I did some swordsmanship practice early in the morning. There’s a nice lake nearby. I washed there.”
On the previous night, they had worked to restore the campsite that had been a mess due to monsters.
Magic and student members, including Liche, repaired the damaged parts, and others set up new tents. Morgan also helped everyone until the end, so he probably went to bed late.
He even went for morning training already. And with such a fresh face.
‘The winner is different.’
Liche admired internally and remembered that Morgan and Hamad also needed to have breakfast.
‘Would they eat rice porridge…?’
When she brought Morgan and Hamad last night,
The gaze of the people was not particularly favorable. They didn’t make an issue of Liche bringing people, but since they were students from Udik Academy, who were rivals, and one of them was last year’s Krselphone winner.
‘They should also have breakfast.’
It would be nice to bring food if they had something in Hamad’s backpack, but when Morgan asked, “What’s in here?” yesterday, Liche answered, “This? My equipment.”
Equipment can’t be eaten as breakfast.
“Morgan, do you like monster meat?”
“Monster… meat?”
Although Morgan replied in a friendly tone, his smile was ambiguous. It was clear that monster meat was a novel ingredient for Morgan too.
“Today’s breakfast is skewers and stew made from the monster meat we caught yesterday…”
“Ah, the one you’re holding?”
“Yes. This morning.”
“Did you bring it to give it to us?”
“That’s…”
As Liche’s words trailed off, the skewer in her hands slowly descended.
Although everyone would have breakfast, it seemed too much to give Morgan the monster meat that she could barely eat herself. While thinking that it might be better to bring other food, Morgan, who Liche was holding the skewer for, was called.
“Thanks, Tuariche.”
Morgan took the skewer from Liche’s hand. Then, without hesitation, he took a piece and tasted it.
‘Oops.’
“Hmm?”
Between Morgan’s well-stretched eyebrows, his eyes narrowed. It seemed he couldn’t eat it either. Surprised, Liche reached out.
“M-Morgan. Is something wrong? I’ll bring you something else to eat.”
“It’s delicious?”
“Huh…?”
“Did you say this taste comes from a monster? The sauce on the outside is perfect too. Tuariche, can I meet the chef?”
Although Morgan asked Liche with shining eyes, his smile was uncertain. It was clear that Morgan found the taste unfamiliar.
“You want to meet the chef?”
“I really want to. Does he also do magic, considering his main event is swordsmanship? I want to meet him even if it’s just for cooking.”
Thinking about the chef who said they would conquer Udik Academy, Liche intended to refuse, but.
Taking a deep breath, nodding her head slowly as if sighing, Liche agreed.
“All right.”
Being this proactive in meeting people. It’s different from Ian, even though they have a similar appearance.
Liche walked in the direction where the chef was, and Morgan followed her like a puppy.
After breakfast, the chef, who had been quiet throughout the meal, quietly approached Liche.
“Miss, be careful with Morgan Dial.”
In front of the author, they said that even an enemy spy would spill information smoothly. They earnestly requested not to be swayed by the appearance like coming from heaven and the dog-like attitude.
Whether it was praise or caution directed at Morgan.
Liche could only understand about half of what the chef said, but under that momentum, she replied that she got it.
Later, Hamad, who woke up late, ate the skewer given by Morgan and was delighted, praising the fantastic taste. However, once he found out it was monster meat, he immediately spat it out.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
