20 – Employee uses Faculty inversely

“What do you think? Isn’t it wonderful? Aren’t you curious?”

ㅡPalak, palak… !

“Yeah, if you go over that page, they are full-fledged high-end dessert menus. If the previous pages were literally the basics, from here on, special products containing continental specialties—”

Wow, that’s terribly noisy.

Was he originally such a talkative character?

Wasn’t it a cool, manly dwarf?

I just fluttered the book that was given to me as a gift, but next to me, John Johnson recited information about the book that he hadn’t even asked.

Perhaps it was his greatest concern, he was excited and chattering in a loud voice.

‘It’s definitely a useful book. I didn’t expect the recipe to be written in such detail.’

Like the title of the book, it contained basic recipes for baking and confectionery. There are as many as 50 of them.

At first, recipes for basic cookies and bread were written, but as Johnson said, more and more high-end desserts appeared on the back page.

Even things that can be made only if you are skilled, such as pudding or handmade chocolate, are included.

“But why is this book all of a sudden… … .”

After flipping through the book, I asked again.

I was taken aback by the sudden gift.

It was because I was both grateful and embarrassed.

It was also true that Johnson’s intentions were clearly visible, so it was difficult to manage his expression. It was because it was obvious that he would order a dessert to suit his taste while giving him a book as a gift.

Even so, he maintained a smile to manage his expression.

“Why? From now on, you will have to serve young ladies for the rest of your life. You must have basic knowledge, right? Besides, since you are a servant, aren’t you not allowed to enter the old library?”

Johnson strokes his beard and responds in an tone as if he were calling it a question.

“Oh, sure it is.”

You’re right, so I can’t argue with that.

I nod my head at his explanation.

After hearing it, the displeasure went away, and on the contrary, I became convinced.

No matter how superficial it was, it was true that it was helpful to me right now.

‘Honestly, with my current skills, I won’t last long… … .’

To put it bluntly, it was a precarious situation.

I just barely got through the day.

What I need most right now is knowledge.

If I had attacked Sophia yesterday, I might not have worried so much. It wouldn’t have been a problem if the dragon that would protect me would stay by my side, but until now I’ve been single.

At best, it was all about Derke, a freshman with an unknown grade.

Now my skills are like beginners.

It was a specification to brew coffee all my life,

I couldn’t help it because I had to survive right now.

I had to calmly admit the reality and move forward.

To put it bluntly, the grade of the easy-to-make biscuits was only one and a half stars. There was definitely a limit to what I learned from a sidelong glance while working at a cafe in the past.

With the skills you have now, you will not be able to overcome the tough days that will unfold in the future.

I just needed this information and it worked.

Be grateful for the opportunity to build your knowledge.

Of course, I can’t make the dessert Johnson wants right away.

“Thank you very much. I just needed something like this.”

“Yeah, that’s how it should come out! thank you so much! Maybe I’m the only one taking care of you?”

Johnson, chin chin, strutting.

Even thinking about it, he seemed satisfied.

And they must have been looking forward to being able to taste different desserts in the future.

“Chief, you are right. By the way, haven’t you been working since yesterday? You came out to the break room two days in a row… … .”

It was John Johnson who secretly took care of me after the semester started. On the surface, even the grunts were secretly giving tips and tricks.

If I had to compare it, would it be a tsundere with curly hair?

Of course, excessive attention is a specification.

It was good that he chose to reject the sympathy principal the other day.

If it was hooked up wrong, I almost couldn’t get it off or on.

“At the beginning of the semester, it was rather loose. The budget has been finalized, and most of the resolutions have been processed before admission!”

“I see, thanks to you, it became clear.”

“Well? What do you mean all of a sudden?”

“I was sure what to make next.”

“Hoo? That’s really good news. Personally, I’m satisfied with a slice of bread with raisins on it—”

“I’m going to try making a cake!”

“Um… ? K, cake?”

“Yes, the special cake!”

“I’m not ignoring your skills, but aren’t you overdoing it from the start? Such high-end desserts from scratch… … ?”

Johnson looks at him with a look of surprise.

It’s like asking, ‘Is this possible?’

Even if I said that, my skills would be questionable.

Even if it is impossible, it must be done.

To satisfy Sophia, you must!

And where are you going to make raisin bread or something?

“If successful, I’ll show you the taste, starting with the manager. You have always helped me.”

“Is that really true? Dessert I made for the ladies first… … ?!”

Johnson’s eyes twinkle uncomfortably.

If I hadn’t chosen to reject sympathy, I’d probably get a notification of a rise in liking.

“Of course, you’d better expect it.”

Because I’m going to make a mint chocolate cake that’s better than raisin bread. And if you taste it, your expectations for me will cool down.

If that’s the case, he might never come to see me again in the morning.

It satisfies Sophia, removes Johnson’s favor, and kills two birds with one stone.

But, well, it’s true that you cared for me… … .

ㅡjorruk… !

—-Kahak, to-!

In gratitude, I served Johnson a morning coffee mixed with special syrup.

It was a small reward for giving me a book.

I’m sorry for such a trivial reply,

They could serve you as many cups as you wanted.

“Oh, you don’t even have to tell me anymore, you just give it away. Thank you, let’s drink well today!”

ㅡBeep, boom!

As always, Johnson drank at once.

Really, the stomach is also good.

In fact, I think it might be really delicious.

“Chehe… ! What you rolled today is cool and sticky when you go down your throat. It’s art.”

“Is that so? That’s good.”

Drink that and don’t describe the taste in detail. feel like vomiting.

‘Wait, if your taste is damaged enough to enjoy this, isn’t it said that mint chocolate is also delicious?’

Goosebumps rise at the useless imagination.

“Anyway, cake, I must be looking forward to it!”

For some reason, he was satisfied with a cup of coffee today, and Johnson came down from his chair with a sound like ‘Sssssham-!’

Perhaps I was satisfied in advance by imagining the taste of the cake I would make.

But I can’t just let it go like this.

It is still a dwarf worth using.

Since we just happened to meet up like this, let’s at least say something.

“Chief? Are you going to the general affairs department now?”

“Well! No matter how spacious it is, I can’t keep emptying my seat.”

It’s a pure lie. Yesterday, I was killing it, and I even got a biscuit and left.

“Excuse me, but can I ask you a favor before you go?”

“yes? That book is enough, what more do you need?”

“Don’t you know the manager well? It’s hard to make full-fledged bread with what’s in the kitchen right now. Materials are also limited.”

I spoke quickly before he left. While appealing about the state of the kitchen.

“Hmm? Come to think of it, I definitely aged a lot during the vacation. 50 years have passed… … .”

“So, let alone kitchen utensils, could you please help me with ordering ingredients?”

“Ordering food materials? Isn’t that what you have to do every month?”

When I brought up the main topic, John Johnson looked a bit flustered.

Delivery of food.

Basically, it’s something I do myself.

However, there was a different reason for asking Johnson now.

“We need high-end ingredients like chocolate to satisfy the taste buds of ladies. I don’t even have soda for baking right now.”

“Then why not put in an order?”

“What do I do if I, a worker, use those materials in the purchase order? Everyone gets fired from the section chief of the general affairs department?”

The reason I said this was this.

There was a limit to the ordering of high-end ingredients.

It was said that it was an academy that served the goddesses of the continent, but strangely, it was salty in this part.

As if the military diet was subtly lacking.

Maybe he’s ignoring me because I’m just a servant and a human slave.

“Well, I don’t take orders one by one.”

“So I’m asking the manager directly like this.”

“But no matter how much I say that, the budget has already been compiled… … .”

“Ha, if the manager says that, I can’t help it. I wanted to taste the special cake I made first… … .”

“Keuheumm—!”

When I deliberately make a weak sound, Johnson frowns and strokes my chin. Like a dwarf at the crossroads of obtaining the absolute ring or not.

I’m sure you’ll have to regret it.

It’s the yard where I threw the book myself,

It was a real waste if I couldn’t get anything.

… … .

After that, Johnson silently stroked his beard for a long time. His face resembled that of a craftsman standing at an anvil to hammer.

“… Hey, chief?”

“Okay, then I’ll figure out the possible supplementary budget today! And if you have any kitchen utensils you need, let me know! I’ll tell Chief Erdin to spare no support!”

After a while of pondering, Johnson makes a decision like a real man.

I think I now understand why he expressed that he asked for coffee to be ‘cool’.

I never thought I would announce such an unconventional support.

“Thank you very much!”

“Write down what you need while you’re away. I will do my best to support you… … !”

done. Things work out better than expected.

At this point, the old kitchen is completely overturned.
