Chapter 404
Episode 404:
The granddaughter of the legendary hunter Aden.
Adela’s talent shone from an early age. No matter what he learned, he was smart and quickly realized, and he was a genius who inherited the talents of his adoptive parents.
I have never felt any difficulty in realizing something in my life. However, Adela was studying belatedly, taking notes on the hologram tablet.
Of course, it was because of Shin Yoo-seong’s words that cut off the beginning.
[It’s a difficult story… Adela is attractive enough? Because it has a different strength than Renny’s smile or Velvet’s cuteness.]
Charm.
In the dictionary meaning, the power to charm others. Of course, knowing that meaning didn’t mean that Adela knew what her charm was.
‘Charm…’
Adela, with her hair tied up, narrowed her eyes and raised her glasses without prescription. One thing that reassured me was that although I didn’t know what my own charm was, I vaguely knew what other people’s charm was.
‘For example…’
Sumire was always considerate of others and made them feel comfortable. He made Shin Yoo-seong his favorite delicious food and invited himself, who was not suitable for a party, to the dorm, where he watched a fun movie together.
‘But I…’
It was different from Sumire. He didn’t know how to smile so kindly, he was blunt, and he was a boring person who didn’t respond to any delicious meal, let alone delicious food.
‘All the advantages I don’t have. There’s a lot to learn from Sumire…’
Adela wrote Sumire’s charm on the hologram tablet one by one with the most serious expressionless face in the world.
[One. Outstanding cooking skills]
[2. A kind smile and consideration]
The next target for Adela to learn from was Kim Eun-ah. Adela always envied Kim Eun-ah’s expressive changes.
[What are you saying!]
Unlike Adela, who gets quiet when angry, Kim Eun-ah’s expression showed her emotions even when she was a little annoyed. Of course, it was the same when I was happy.
[What is it, what kind of wind suddenly blew a gift?]
[I thought it would look good on Eun-ah.]
[It’s a cheap hair tie… but it’s pretty.]
Just looking at Adela’s expression, Eun-ah Kim’s emotions showed. I pretended to be indifferent with my mouth, but I could feel the emotion of joy on my face.
When you receive such a gift, you must say ‘thank you’. I would have replied with the same monotonous and brief greeting.
‘And…’
I’ve only seen Adela once, but Kim Eun-ah had a terrifying special move. that’s just love.
Of course, it was not a skill that could be seen often, as the name suggests. It was an advanced skill that could only be displayed when certain conditions were met.

[It’s Yuseong~ Hehehe, our Yooseongi~]
Is there anyone who can beat Kim Eun-ah, who gives out a shortened tongue and tries to hug Kim?
For Adela, aegyo was an unknown territory that she had never challenged since she was born.
[One. Outstanding cooking skills]
[2. Kind smile]
[3. Abundant emotional expression]
[4. Killing aegyo]
Yes. If you realize this much, you will know what the ‘charm’ that Shin Yu-seong said is and what your strengths are.
After studying, Adela took off her glasses and let her hair down. Then I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling and thought.
‘From tomorrow, I will also…’
He said that he would show his changed side through studying.
* * *
White marble floors.
Shin Yoo-seong thought as he looked around the room where the angular items were so neatly organized.
‘It’s the first time that Adela invited me to the dorm to cook for me…’
It was fortunate that it was the weekend, but even the time he invited me to the dorm was ambiguous. It was a really ambiguous time of 10:00 am, not the early morning to eat breakfast, nor the time to eat lunch.
What should I even say? The look of Adela seen from behind was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
‘Long hair tied with a hair tie or that distinctive apron…’
Shin Yoo-seong didn’t have to look back for long. Her unique style of tying her hair into a ponytail and wearing an apron was very similar to the outfit Sumire wears when cooking.
Even the curry Adela was making today was a menu that Sumire makes very often.
“Here it is…”
Adela serves the curry on a plate with a very serious face. However, Yooseong Shin felt a strange sense of incongruity and asked before opening the curry with a spoon.
“Hey Adela? These carrots and potatoes… are you putting them whole in curry?”
Adela showed Shin Yoo-seong’s question and said, showing her hand with a bandage.
“Because I’m not used to using a knife yet…”
Yes, there was no way Adela, who was new to cooking, could make a delicious curry like Sumire.
Shin Yoosung laughed at that thought. I couldn’t say that the food that Master made in the past tasted great now, but the heart in the food was unbeatable.
‘Because what really matters is the heart.’
Swoop- Tup-
But the moment he put the spoon in his mouth, Shin Yoo-seong realized that his thoughts were wrong.
‘…sweet.’
It wasn’t pleasantly sweet, but it was too sweet. I felt like I was eating chocolate porridge mixed with the green smell of unripe vegetables with a spoon.
Shin Yoo-seong had no choice but to admit that it was so tasteless.
‘The important thing in food is not the heart. It was delicious.’
Shin Yoo-seong, whose face turned pale, swallowed the curry in one gulp. Vegetable chocolate porridge in the form of curry spread a splendid presence in the esophagus.
‘I didn’t know the taste was so shocking, but this… it’s very spicy.’
Why did I just notice now? The Adela style curry was very sweet, but it was so spicy that it tingled in the mouth and tingled the tongue.
Beep beep!
Shin Yoo-seong, who quickly drank water, placed his hands in front of his face and fell into thought with a serious expression. There were many things I wanted to ask, but it was not easy to organize them in a logical way.
“Hey Adela… What ingredients are in this curry?”
In response to that question, Adela unfolded the recipe she had studied hard into a hologram and showed it to Shin Yoo-seong.
“Ah, everything was done according to the recipe. I sautéed the onion with butter… and put the vegetables in the grilled meat… I added chocolate as one special ingredient.”
“chocolate?”
“They say adding chocolate to your curry adds flavor and taste.”
Adela proudly took out a large chocolate bag, one of Velvet’s snacks, in front of Shin Yoo-seong.
“So I put everything in. You like sweet food.”
“Then… how about this spicy taste?”
To Yoosung Shin’s second question, Adela showed an empty plastic bottle. The 5 letters ‘peperoncino’ written there and the warning ‘very spicy’ did not need any explanation for understanding.
“I put spices often used in Italy.”
“I see.”
Shin Yuseong fell into deep thought again. It seemed meaningless to point out the problem with this curry.
“It is an immature skill. You… How does the curry taste?”
Even in Adela’s face, a strange desperation was felt even in the calm expression.
However, Shin Yoo-seong did not dare to taste this poison. It was a meal that made me miss Sumire already wearing an apron.
“That’s…”
Shin Yoo-seong hesitated to answer, so Adela brought a spoon and tried to taste the curry herself.
“Hey Adela!”
Hap –
Shin Yooseong put it in his mouth without even stopping. Soon, Adela silently gazed at the poison she had made with her pupils several times larger than usual.
Unripe vegetables and his own curry, which was so sweet and so spicy that his tongue tingled, were no longer food. It was already close to punishment.
“Ah…”
Adela sat down in the seat opposite Shin Yoo-seong with a cry of despair. Then he scooped up another spoonful of that terrible curry and put it into his mouth.
“Adela…”
Shin Yoo-seong was speechless at the sight of Adela. Adela looked at her curry in silence.
What followed was a minute of silence that was too long. Adela said helplessly as she looked at the poison she had made.
“Sumire… Seeing you and Velvet enjoying the food she made… I might have been jealous of you.”
what do i need to say Adela’s cooking was a fiasco. If I fed Velvet something like this, he would lie in bed for at least three days and not be able to get up.
Adela, who sewed the first button wrong from the start, only looked at Shin Yoo-seong blindly.
‘Ah Adela…’
Shin Yoo-seong read Adela’s inner thoughts from her expression. Adela seemed to be talking like this.
[I ruined it from the start.]
[I didn’t prepare anything after this.]
That’s why I’m just staring at Shin Yoo-seong’s face in an awkward atmosphere. She couldn’t imitate Sumire’s unique atmosphere that makes her opponent feel comfortable. Adela’s operation was a fiasco.
In the end, Shin Yoo-seong was the only person who could extend a hand to Adela here.
‘What the hell is Adela… thinking about?’
Adela was the Ice Empress of Gaon.
He was the object of admiration for everyone and the hope of the Italian people. It’s the first time that she’s working hard for someone like that.
It was not Adela’s role to cook for someone and hope that they would love her.
In addition, Adela, who gave off a mysterious atmosphere, was difficult for others to approach. It was like a lofty flower blooming on a cliff, and it was difficult for criminals to approach.
‘So I have no choice but to be immature…’
Yooseong Shin wrapped his hand around Adela’s pale white hand holding the spoon. Yoosung Shin could feel the warmth and heartbeat hidden in Adela’s cold skin.
“There is no need to imitate the strengths of others. Because Adela has Adela’s strengths.”
Adela raised her head in the comfort of Shin Yuseong. Her mysterious red eyes stood out thanks to her pale skin.
“My strengths…. is there really such a thing? Like Sumire, I don’t know how to cook delicious food or give you a kind smile.”
Adela met Shin Yoo-seong’s eyes. Adela wasn’t talking about her flaws based on low self-esteem like Sumire did. Adela really believed what she said was the truth.
“And… Kim Eun-ah, she’s not as expressive as her… and she can’t make you laugh with a funny reaction.”
However, Shin Yoo-seong shook his head at Adela’s story.
“I’m not as perfect as Adela or everyone else sees me. Sometimes moments of regret come to mind or you want to give up. I just don’t talk.”
Yooseong Shin let go of Adela’s hand.
Instead, he went behind Adela and hugged her warmly.
“I don’t have the courage to tell anyone about my true feelings like Adela.”
Yooseong Shin said to Adela: ‘Adela is like white snow.’ Shin Yoo-seong was a person who could call even dullness, which he thought was his weakness, a strength.
“…okay.”
Adela laughed at having such a good realization in the morning. The curry was ruined but it was a good meal.
“Have you prepared anything more?”
To Shin Yoo-seong’s question, Adela answered with a bright smile without even realizing it.
“…There is one. The next operation was aegyo.”
