10 – feeding

ㅡsqueak… !

Strong coffee fills half of the cup.

And hot water is added over it.

Coffee juice and water are mixed, and Americano is softened.

ㅡdalgrak, moongrak… … .

Eventually, the teaspoon is stirred and the hot water is mixed with the coffee juice. Along with that, the delicate scent spreads all over the place.

ㅡ sniff sniff sniff… !

The sense of smell of the ladies sitting in the seat reacts to this smell.

‘great. That’s enough for coffee.’

In fact, since John Johnson had left earlier, he had baked extra biscuits and put down the coffee juice in advance.

Put down the original amount in advance, just in case.

Pour hot water before serving.

In this process, the concentration and temperature of the coffee are naturally adjusted.

‘I almost got into trouble. I didn’t expect it to come all at once… … .’

It was also good to prepare in advance.

I never thought my cafe part-time experience would help.

Preparing for peak times is the basic of basics.

If I had shut up and made coffee, it would have taken a long time. If that happened, it might have caused the dragons’ displeasure.

ㅡCoffee smells pretty good, doesn’t it?

ㅡI don’t usually drink coffee… I want to drink something today.

ㅡChii, I wanted to drink herbal tea… … .

ㅡShh, be quiet. Sophia listen.

ㅡHeung, what if it’s the student council president? We ate enough to eat, but to control the precious tea time like this… … .

ㅡIt was a bit harsh. Are you disciplined from the first day of admission? what?

By the time I finished the coffee setting,

I hear the whispers of the girls.

The dragons sitting at the table in front whispered softly.

Being the student council president, it seems that Sophia is the absolute power. But not everyone was following her.

In particular, disgruntled whispers continued intermittently at a table far away from Sophia.

But that grumbling is short-lived.

ㅡBy the way, what is the sweet smell that has been vibrating from earlier?

ㅡAh, I don’t know what it is, but I want to calm down quickly.

ㅡWhy is it taking so long? I deliberately left almost all of my lunch.

Maybe it’s because of the smell of coffee and cookies,

The dragons’ attention gradually turned to me.

It must be because of hunger and appetite ahead of dissatisfaction.

‘Ike, I need to hurry up a little bit.’

Coffee now just needs to be served.

That said, I didn’t want to serve only coffee first. If possible, I wanted to give out cookies to accompany them all at once.

I was anxious because I was afraid that I would have to eat coffee and biscuits separately.

Only then will the painstakingly baked cookies become worthless.

why are you there If you look at a place that is famous for its delicious food, it’s not like they put up an explanation like ‘how to eat deliciously’.

Is it some kind of craftsmanship? I wanted you to enjoy what I made with all my heart.

Of course, when it comes to confectionery and baking, I was no different from a beginner who was far from a craftsman.

“Shall we take it out now?”

I went straight to the fire pit.

It was finally time to introduce the biscuits.

Of course, I could have served the pieces I had previously subdivided, but they had already cooled down.

If possible, I wanted to try something freshly baked. I had that much confidence.

—-Drreuk… !

I pulled out the tray with my oven glove hand. It means steaming in a warm state at the edge of the inlet of the oven.

If it had been left in the center of the fire pit, it would have been burnt out by now.

I was paying attention to heat management so that it would not overcook.

ㅡMorakmorak… … .

The results were quite satisfactory.

The color and shape were perfect.

The taste was nothing to say.

‘Perfect… ! The color came out better than the first one, didn’t it?’

Dark-brown biscuits that seem to have undergone a Maillard reaction are baked into squares.

ㅡTitling!

It was the moment I put down the tray to put the result I was so satisfied with on a plate.

[You have acquired a new job skill – ‘Gourmet Feeding’.]

“???”

“Gourmet Feeding (Rank C)”

[Your sincerity will impress even the dragon! Make delicious feed from all kinds of ingredients. Depending on the grade of the food you create, you can tame a new target or increase your affinity.]

A system message appeared in front of steaming biscuits.

You get bogged down by unexpected notifications.

Acquiring the skill was a pleasant thing, but

That explanation was a bit jarring.

I know the meaning of feeding.

By the way, is the biscuit I made now called ‘food’? It was also food for taming dragons.

“Whatever… … .”

I was a little concerned about the word feed, but I nodded at the modifier ‘even the dragon will be impressed’.

[Basic Coffee Biscuits (★☆): Dessert with basic ingredients added with different colors. The flavor that goes well with the crispiness is excellent. With perfect temperature control, the grade rises by ☆.]

But what else is this? After clearing the alarm window, the system window is evaluating my biscuits.

Is that only one and a half stars?

What kind of humble horoscope is this?

It was definitely perfect for my taste.

‘Then the first one I baked was only about 1 star—?’

“not there yet-?! Why did it take so long to come out soon?”

As I was reading the description for a while,

Diora, who was sitting in the front seat, exclaimed.

In response, the other dragons also help out and hum.

It was because it was delayed more than expected.

Everyone had serious faces.

Sophia also just looked at me without saying anything.

“sorry. It’s very hot because I just took it out. You dare not burn the roof of the girls’ mouths, do you?”

“Puhahaha-! Was it like that? But even if you speak well, you still don’t know much about us, do you?”

“yes?”

“Do you think we’ll get burned by just biscuits when we breathe out from our mouths?”

“Yeah, that’s right. I thought briefly. We will prepare it quickly.”

“Yes, the reaction is cute, so I’m looking at it. Let’s move quickly!”

I finished setting up after that.

Coffee and cookies were served on trays.

When coffee and cookies cool, they lose their meaning.

“You waited a long time. Coffee and my own homemade coffee biscuits. If you eat it with coffee, the flavor will be doubled.”

I continued serving, remembering an anecdote about my predecessor that I had heard from Johnson. Paying attention to the dragon’s tail, which might sway on the floor… … .

‘Wow, but does it really have a tail?’

At first, I thought it was a story to scare people, so I was dubious, but the tails of the reptiles lined up on the floor really wriggled. At first I thought it was a snake crawling.

There was even a dragon with horns sprouting from its head. But not all had tails and horns.

Among them, Sophia was on the special side.

No signs of reptiles were visible.

Except for the pupils, it had a shape that was almost human.

“This is the identity of that sweet smell. The scent is really nice. You’ve worked hard, Mr. Breeder.”

“It’s too much praise, Sophia-sama.”

Sophia, who received coffee and cookies last, smiled kindly and congratulated me for my hard work. In response, I lowered my voice, lightly bowed, and withdrew.

At first, I was going to be the first to serve coffee to her, who is a powerful person among the seniors. However, she showed a real-life side by asking the other classmates to bring it to them first.

It seemed that he wasn’t the student council president for nothing.

“… Now, everyone has gathered like this again, so let’s do our best until graduation. If you have any complaints or improvements during your academy life, please let me know.”

As I return to the kitchen, Sophia rises and cheers.

—-For the eternal peace of the Drango continent… … !

Then the other dragons raised their glasses and shouted the same slogan at the same time.

It looks like a toast.

It’s not alcohol, it’s coffee, so we can unite.

It was a truly noble and grotesque sight.

Well, it’s called the Academy, but it’s probably forbidden to bring in alcohol.

ㅡHoreuk… ! Roaring!

ㅡ Crunchy, crunchy!

While I was thinking about this and that, the dragons began to taste my coffee and biscuits one by one.

‘I’m sure you’ll like it…’ … .’

To be honest, I was full of confidence until I got 「Gourmet Feeding」.

However, after confirming that my skills were one and a half stars, my confidence plummeted.

But this rain is short-lived… … .

—-This is delicious… … ?!

ㅡ It’s the first time I’ve ever tasted it!

ㅡ I don’t like sweet things, but don’t you hate this?

Satisfied responses from the ladies follow here and there.

ㅡTitling!

In addition, the system alarm sound hits my ear one after another.
