The Archmage’s Restaurant

# 245

Part 2 Chapter.2 Side story – In the whale fight, the whale, not the shrimp’s back, exploded.

It was a summer day not long after the Red Dragon was killed.

Lurin, me, Serena, and Elena came to a small uninhabited island on the southern coast of the empire for the summer.

Actually, there was a small reason for this retreat.

a few days ago.

Serena and Elena came up to the restaurant to eat dinner. Of course, it was good up to that point. It is also a daily scene that happens almost every day. That situation occurred when Lulin and Serena were fighting.

That day, Lulin said this to Serena.

“Eat anything, anything red.”

I hear this all the time, but Serina isn’t the type of person to sit still after hearing something like that. However, perhaps because she was tired of the little drip that she did every time, Serena responded to Rurin with a slightly different drip depending on the day.

“How can you eat anything if you can’t even cook? “If you’re a chef’s wife, shouldn’t you know how to cook?”

“profit? “I’m good at cooking!”

“You’re laughing. “I’m much better than you.”

Serena jumped up and shrugged her shoulders. Lurin said no and launched a counterattack. But it’s in business.

I quietly approached the business disruptors and slapped them with sanctions.

“If you don’t stop, I’ll kick you both out? You are rare below. “You go to the clinic.”

“… … “But!”

Lurin puffed out her cheeks as if she was feeling unfairly treated. Since I realized a long time ago that it would be better not to get involved in their fight, I thought it would be good to just keep quiet, but this time, they started fighting with their eyes. These guys are endless.

“Then let’s have a cooking competition. Don’t just talk about being better than each other. “I will review it for you.”

“Cooking competition? Is that good? good. It prevents you from making any noise. kid.”

“Don’t be funny. “This body will make it so that you can never say that you are better than me again!”

Two people giggling. Then, Serena took a quick look at me and claimed unfairness.

“But the judges are unfair?”

“Don’t be ridiculous! He presses with real skill! You remain fair and still. “I am confident!”

“Oh really? So to be really fair… .”

“what the. Can you believe this? “But it’s because there’s Elena.”

“yes? Me?”

Hoping for a neutral review, Serena looked at the shrimp that had stayed still in the whale fight.

But the shrimp raised its hand and made an unexpected claim.

“But I want to participate too! “I also want to compete in cooking with Lurin and Serena.”

“What?”

“I think it’ll be fun!”

Elena laughed and jumped up. Serena just glared at her, but for some reason, Elena’s resistance to dragons had become much stronger than before, so it didn’t even work.

So, the matter grew and became a story about having a cooking competition using the ingredients of the desert island to be fair while people were coming to the desert island to escape.

From the beginning, I had planned to take a few days off and spend the summer with Rurin on this uninhabited island.

This island was purchased by persuading the emperor. I hadn’t been there once since I bought it, so I was holding off, but I thought that if we were going to compete, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do it somewhere like this, and in the end, the cooking competition that doubled as a summer getaway took place here.

The emerald coast stretches out in front. We sat in the shade inside the sandy beach with the coast in the background.

Here, I set up cooking utensils to cook various dishes. 3 each.

All you have to do is get your own ingredients and cook.

Well, I’m talking about just resting and enjoying the pretty beach and healing.

“Like I said, all three of us are equal here, so it’s different from the playful confrontation we had at the restaurant before. You can cook dishes using ingredients found on the island. Are the conditions the same for everyone? “There is nothing more fair than this when you cook with ingredients you find yourself.”

When I briefly explained the rules again, everyone nodded. The one who nods most actively is Elena. It seems like a very unfamiliar sight.

Elena cooks?

That’s because Elena was an elf who just washed and ate raw vegetables until I taught her how to make various salads.

“I’ll do my best!”

I looked at her with such concern, but Elena was full of fighting spirit. Surely they wouldn’t bring the grass, wash it, and put it out there for us to eat?

“Then shall we begin?”

“wait for a sec!”

Suddenly, after shouting for a moment, Lurin sneakily approached me. Then he slightly tips his toes and starts whispering in my ear.

“you… Subtly… “Aaaah!”

While trying to do something illegal, he ended up being grabbed by the back by Serena and dragged away.

“Let go of this! “Old dragon!”

“You’re laughing. Where are you tricking me? “You are not allowed to talk to El until it is over.”

“Huh? What kind of nonsense… !”

“Then did you admit defeat? Hehe.”

Lulin opened his mouth wide. Then he looked at Serena and me alternately and then opened his mouth.

“you. “I will abandon you for a while!”

“yes?”

Lulin turned his head and ran away first. I think it’s a caution to just run and let’s go without any countermeasures.

Serena looked around as if she had something on her mind and then disappeared, while Elena looked in all directions, pricked her ears, hesitated several times, and started walking toward the south.

***

Lurin ran for now. I absolutely hated losing to Red Dragon, so this fight was serious.

In fact, the Red Dragon was almost extinct, making the feud between the races virtually meaningless. Therefore, the red dragon that Lulin talks about actually refers to a being named Sereina.

Because of L, she had no choice but to ask for advice sometimes, but for some reason, Lulin envied that very adult aspect.

So I didn’t want to lose.

That too in front of El.

So, after making a strong promise that I would definitely win this match and make Serena, who had been provoking me even more irritably, to her knees, I looked around.

Lulin decided to keep things simple in a confrontation like this. So the point is, you just have to find delicious ingredients. Especially if you find meat, it’s delicious just grilled!

The cooking area that Rurin was most confident in was grilling meat. I was very used to it because of the experience of being tricked by L into grilling meat on an iron plate.

With that in mind, I ran for a while, but couldn’t find any animals worth eating.

All you see is grass and trees.

“uh? “The color is pretty.”

The thing that stopped Lulin’s footsteps was a flower that gave off a soft pink color. Lurin approached the flower she had found.

Because she liked the color so much, Lurin squatted down for a moment and looked at the flower.

When I was alone in Rare, contemplating my loneliness, I never even paid attention to things like flowers. Lulin’s sensibilities have changed a bit recently.

In particular, the color pink had a somewhat unique sensibility.

“But this pink is prettier.”

It’s a habit of first comparing the pink color that shines on your finger when you see a similar pink color.

Rurin tried to show off her victory ring to the flower. He waved the engagement ring on his finger back and forth in front of the flowers, then this time he held out the wedding ring on his other finger.

“This is more important. Hi-Hi.”

In the end, he ended up bragging with both hands raised towards a flower he couldn’t even understand.

Then, after about 3 minutes, I realized that this was not the time and I jumped up.

“Because the flower guy has no taste.”

I boasted so much that I had nothing left to do. Now I coolly turned around to look for meat again.

But then something strange happened. As soon as Lulin turned back, the pink flower suddenly grew larger, opened its buds wide, and advanced towards the back of Lulin’s head.

“Huh?”

Thump-!

In an instant, Lurin was swallowed into the gigantic bud’s open mouth. Lurin was just the size of a bite.

This monster is also known as a man-eating plant or carnivorous plant that camouflages itself into a small and pretty appearance and eats any approaching animal at once.

Lulin was swallowed into the flower and frowned. The more she moved her body, the more sticky mucus surrounded Lulin. In this stuffy, dark space, all I can feel is sticky mucus.

“What is this place?”

Originally, when this mucus sticks, all animals and plants become paralyzed and then gradually dissolve and digest. Another name for this mucus was digestive juice. A strong mucus that can digest anything.

However, dragons are not included in the existence of anything. Lurin became frustrated and lost her temper, banging and kicking the inner wall of the flower. My inner walls are pounding from a kick made with sincerity! The hole opened and mucus started pouring out.

“Oh oh!”

Then Lurin also slipped through the hole on the slime and onto the ground outside. Does it feel like going down a slide?

“This was a little fun.”

I stood up and expressed my honest feelings. But the problem is that this sticky slime doesn’t want to fall off. It’s so sticky. After coming out, the meaning of digestive juices was lost, but the sticky consistency was still maintained.

Every time I moved, it would sag and interfere with my actions. Rurin became angry when she shook herself here and there to no avail.

“Ugh… .”

So I looked around. Nothing caught Lurin’s gaze, but the sound of water was heard from ahead. Even though there was nothing bothering her eyes, there was something bothering her ears, so Lurin ran towards that direction.

“Oh oh!”

A cool waterfall unfolded before Rurin’s eyes, which were wet and sticky with mucus, and the water pooling beneath the waterfall was shining a mysterious blue.

Shoot!

The waterfall falls lightly, and the water that accumulates below flows back downstream. It had the appearance of a typical valley and looked deep, so Rurin immediately attempted to dive.

with a plop-!

Thanks to this, the damn slime was washed away from Lurin’s body, and when she came to the surface after falling deep under the water, she felt very refreshed.

“Cool. Ugh, I don’t like sticky guys.”

Now that all the slime has run out and the goal has been achieved, Lurin is about to swim out of the valley.

“Kukyaakyaaaak!”

“Huh?”

Flower buds placed on what looked like lotus leaves began to attack Lulin.

Dozens of flower buds approaching at high speed.

The flowers grew huge at the same time and opened their buds as if they were going to eat each other.

“Ahh! surprised.”

So Lurin reflexively hit the first flower bud that attacked with her fist.

“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… !”

The flower bud hit by Lulin’s fist jumped out of the water, no, it jumped high into the sky and flew away. However, Lurin had to wash her body again with water because she was vomiting mucus.

“Oh oh. It is also this body. “No, that’s not the problem.”

The numbers were endless. I couldn’t understand why the flowers here were so aggressive, so I lost my temper. The thing I hate the most is that slime. I hated it because it was so sticky.

“Kukyaaaaaak!”

“Kukyaaaaa!”

“Ugh. “Then just disappear into the valley!”

In the end, Lurin exploded with anger and used high-level magic to evaporate the waterfall and the valley water itself.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The refreshing stream of water suddenly disappeared everywhere, and in the end, all the flowers on the lotus leaves were unable to move from the bottom of the valley, where the water had disappeared. It was a ground plant before, and this time it seems to be a water plant. As the water disappeared, it became impossible to move.

“They’re nothing special.”

Rurin shook her hands and looked around her body. Fortunately, all the mucus disappeared. Although it was wet, it was much better than being covered in mucus, so I decided to endure it.

“There are only strange guys. Why can’t I see the meat… !”

Normally, Lurin wouldn’t walk around in a wet state right away, but she couldn’t do that now. This is because there are no available ingredients. So I walked again while wet.
