The Archmage’s Restaurant

Chapter.6 Doctor’s Evening

“Do you want to get up first?”

When I saw the long ears, the woman lying down was an elf. Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard of it before that there were elves in Great City.

Anyway, if she is an elf, the situation is clear at a glance. Lurin’s identity must have been revealed because of the elf’s eyes that could see through lies.

“Who the hell are you? If you do that to a great being… ! ah! if… .”

“No, I know very well that she is a dragon. “Our relationship is a bit special, so it’s a bit difficult to explain.”

“A special relationship?”

The elf blinked in disbelief. There was still fear in his eyes.

“More than that, Mr. Elf. “You know that it’s a secret that there are dragons in Great City, right?”

“yes yes. I have no intention of destroying the clan. “What kind of elf would go around talking about dragons’ pastimes?”

This is obvious. If you reveal the dragon’s secret, you will be severely punished.

“Then get up. “Anyway, it’s better not to think too much about my relationship with the dragon.”

“Is that also the secret of the great being?”

“Yes.”

“You are this human, right? No, he’s definitely human… .”

“Humans are correct. It’s definitely human. “Don’t be so scared.”

“but… .”

“I used to be a bit of a wizard, but now I am a retired restaurant owner. Since he was tired of fighting and chose to retire, would you say he has something in common with the elves?”

“The flying wizard… ?”

“In the world, he was also called the Great Wizard. Would you understand if I told you that I was a colleague of Beden, the hero of the elves?”

“Is that true!”

The elf stared at me with a very surprised face. It’s a face of complete disbelief because everything is so surprising. However, noble elves do not know how to lie and have the ability to detect even other people’s lies, so if they had looked into my eyes, they would have realized that it was the truth.

“I guess I’m serious… . With that Bethen… !”

“Yeah, so I’m not a bad person. But since this is a secret related to dragons, can you just skip it? This may be considered a threat, but rest assured that the dragon will not run amok or anything like that. “This is also true.”

I looked straight into the elf’s eyes.

You probably knew it wasn’t a lie. Only then did the elf become cautious. I got up very carefully.

“I think everything you said is true. If so, I’ll pretend not to know. I don’t want to get too involved with dragons. “It’s also an unwritten rule.”

“Yes. So, forget about the dragon, what is your name, Mr. Elf?”

“jeon… “Elena.”

“The first letter is the same as mine. “I’m L.”

“Oh yes yes. “I heard it from Laine.”

The elf who introduced herself as Elena nodded. He then looked around and his expression became ambiguous.

It’s scary to keep setting foot in a place where dragons live, and it’s also rude to just leave after entering the restaurant, so what should I do?

The type of person whose thoughts are clearly visible on their face. You probably won’t even be able to lie.

“Don’t be so nervous. This is an ordinary restaurant. That dragon’s name is Rurin, and he’s not that bad. You can rest assured that no harm will come to you as long as you are with me. By the way, you came here to eat, right? If so, please sit down. I’m sorry for surprising you, so I’ll treat you to something delicious. Let me clear some doubts. “I’m not a bad person?”

“That…” It seems like it’s true, but… .”

Elena still seemed to hesitate, but eventually sat in front of the bar table I pointed to.

Coo!

Quang!

Meanwhile, below the restaurant. In other words, there was a loud sound of construction going on at the bottom of the hill. They told me to do it as gently as possible, but I’m just destroying things as much as I can.

“What about this?”

The elf, who reacted sensitively to the sound, began to notice.

“It’s no big deal. The ground just shakes a little. “What kind of dish would you like to eat instead?”

“Oh, I can only eat vegetables. But Lady Raine told me to go, saying she would cook delicious dishes with just vegetables, so I came… Is it possible?”

Elena mutters in a very unsure tone. He is completely depressed because of Rurin.

Honestly, her reaction is the correct attitude toward dragons. A being that needs to be tense, tense, and in awe. Because it’s a dragon.

Well, that’s not important right now, it’s a vegetable dish.

Of course it is possible.

There are a variety of foods made with only vegetables, so there is nothing difficult about it.

“Do not worry. We will prepare delicious dishes made with vegetables. Ah, but how far can it not go?”

This part is important. To what extent can a vegetarian eat something? If you are a true vegetarian, you can only eat grass.

Otherwise, there is a wide range of choices.

“Meat. “As long as it’s not animal flesh, it’s okay.”

“Ah, can you eat anything but lean meat?”

“Yes, it’s because I’m not a vegetarian and lean meat is a part of my body that doesn’t eat it.”

It was a fortunate story.

If so, the scope is not that narrow.

“All right. “Then I’ll cook you a delicious dish without using lean meat.”

“really? “I’ve tried a lot of dishes without meat, but honestly, I often feel that raw vegetables are better in terms of taste.”

The moment the elf nodded with anticipation.

“oh! Why are there so many guests today? Hahaha.”

A loud voice was heard. It was a very familiar voice. The person who came striding into the restaurant was none other than Mr. Knoll.

Strangely enough, the person who came with me was not Mr. Laine. It was a young man I had never seen before.

“My nephew came to me because he said he had something to discuss! So, give me Uva’s belly fat.”

Mr. Knoll, who had become a complete fan of Uva’s belly fat, spoke loudly and sat down at a table for four with the young man who came with him.

Elena looked at the two for a moment as if she didn’t know that Knoll was Reine’s husband, but then quickly lost interest.

“Okay, just wait a moment.”

I headed straight to the material warehouse.

First, I plan to cook Elena’s dish. It’s only natural since I ordered it first.

When you think of vegetable dishes, a variety of things come to mind, but if all you want is lean meat, pasta seems perfect. Strictly speaking, pasta is a noodle dish. Anyway, it’s delicious even without meat.

If the tomatoes themselves taste good, everything is okay. If you bring out the flavor of the tomatoes sufficiently, you can create a deep flavor even without adding meat.

There are tomatoes in this world too. Plus, it’s very delicious. Maybe it’s because the climate of this town is similar to the Andes, where tomatoes originate, but you can even taste the refreshing sweetness of apples in the tomatoes themselves.

First, I put olive oil in the pan. Olive oil, the strongest vegetable oil on earth. It’s perfect for her who can’t eat meat. The olive oil I use is extra virgin, which is considered the highest quality. The highest quality oil in which the pulp of olive fruits floats. Here, finely chop the onion and garlic and fry them. The point is to write quickly and well.

Cheeeeeek!

When you fry chopped onion and garlic in a pan heated with olive oil, an indescribable smell spreads. Especially when you fry the onions until they turn brown, the really delicious smell stimulates your appetite. Once the garlic flavor is added, you will be full from this alone.

Tomatoes here.

Crush and boil crazy fresh tomatoes, season with pepper, and then boil the pasta. The thing to note here is that pasta noodles must be boiled in hard water.

Even in modern times, soft water is used in Oriental cuisine, especially soup-based dishes, while hard water is used in ordinary Western cuisine.

This is a pretty big difference.

The representative hard water is the underground bedrock water that flows underground in this hill. The groundwater here is rich in calcium and light proteins. This hard water has the property of hardening noodles such as pasta. It is a natural rule to use hard water to boil pasta to the optimal texture and firmness.

Other than that, of course you have to use training. Soft water refers to ordinary water, and since the drinking water in the restaurant is filled with my spray magic, this water is soft water.

Hard water and soft water are determined based on the ingredients they contain.

Anyway, fresh ingredients and adequate water. And if you mix in monton mushrooms, a truly delicious pasta is completed.

Elena, who was watching this silently, let out an exclamation as if she had finally gotten over the fear of dragons.

“Oh my, the color is pretty.”

“It’s red full of sunlight.”

“This is my first time seeing a dish like this… .”

I placed the finished dish in front of her.

Elena carefully lifted the noodles with a fork. The face of an elf filled with curiosity. He looks like he is deeply interested in my cooking.

It was clear that there had been a big change in my desire to quickly eat whatever food I had and get away from the dragon.

So, leaving her focused on cooking, I moved to my seat and started grilling Uva belly meat to serve to Mr. Knoll.

“Wow, my belly fat has come out.”

“Oh yes! Nelyn, try this. “Because it’s so delicious.”

Mr. Knoll looks at Uva’s belly and gestures for soju.

Elena is slurping pasta in an unexpected way. The sound is thick. Hold the fork firmly and immediately suck up the noodles. Every time I did that, my hair would fall down, which was uncomfortable, but I didn’t even care about the tomato sauce splattering on my blonde hair and continued to fork frantically. Since it’s her first time seeing pasta, she probably can’t even think about the technique of rolling it up on a spoon and eating it.

“How does it taste?”

When I asked, Elena, who had her nose in her plate, looked up and smiled. You look pretty when you smile. Since I was trained by Rurin, I am not particularly impressed.

“it is delicious! This is the first time in my life that I have eaten a dish cooked so deliciously with only vegetables. So this is called cooking? I always ate only raw vegetables… !”

The response is so strong that it is very rewarding. The elves have no concept of cooking. My fellow elf Beden had the same reaction.

While I was satisfied with the response, I heard a conversation between Mr. Knoll and his nephew. Anyway, the voice is loud. Even considering that the store is small.

“Is your arm okay?”

“Yes, but I think I’ll have to take a break from mine work for a while until my wound heals. I had night work today as well, so I had no choice but to leave early. “But I felt uncomfortable going home.”

“Are you saying this guy’s house is uncomfortable? “What do you mean?”

“Did you know that my mother is not my biological mother?”

“Eh? “How did you do that!”

“I know everything. I know everything! So don’t try to lie. I knew her as my biological mother for 20 years, but she wasn’t my biological mother… ! “Everything is so confusing and I don’t know what to do!”

“So you… So what happened? “What did you do to Mr. May?”

“I don’t know. I’ve been deceived for 20 years. What’s the point? “I just called her ma’am.”

“What dude?”

Given the content of the conversation, I glanced at Mr. Knoll and saw that he looked very embarrassed. It is a worthy situation.

“also… .”

Elena must have heard, too, as she mumbled something while wiping her mouth with a napkin. The dishes are clean.

“yes?”

“It seems like there is something lacking in humans. If you raised her for 20 years, wouldn’t you already have a love that left your mother? I run a clinic in the city and take care of people, but every time I do that, I feel disappointed in people. I guess you could say I don’t really know. As a result, I don’t have any close friends.”

Elena whispered very softly. While shaking my head. Then, as he slowly started to get up, I stopped him.

“Wait a minute, Elena.”

“yes?”

“There was sauce on that hair.”

“Yes?”

The elf was very embarrassed and hurriedly took the towel I held out. Meanwhile, the conversation between Mr. Knoll and the young man continued.
