26 – High-level service

“Derke? If you don’t mind, can you help me out every afternoon?”

ㅡChuck!

He held out his hand to Derke and said.

It wasn’t just empty words of consolation.

He reached out his hand with the heart of a butler who wanted to be chosen by a stray cat.

Of course, the rapport had already been successful, but

Employment contracts are out of the question.

He had the purpose of taking care of Derke every afternoon, but he also intended to borrow a hand as a part-time job.

“Well, that’s okay, yap… … ?!”

“Of course. And if you’re here, even if your classmates want to bully you, they won’t be able to follow you?”

Derke looks at me and tilts his head.

I couldn’t easily grab my outstretched hand.

‘Uhhh… I continued to worry while moaning like ‘!’

“Ha, but the break room is a space only used by seniors… … .”

It seems that the space called the resting room was taken care of. After all, it was a resting place exclusively for the highest ranking officials… … .

However, it is difficult for a private soldier to use the PX and gym alone. Still, it’s not like there’s no way.

“it’s okay. Derke, you didn’t just come to the break room to play, did you? Also according to the instructions of the professor. is not it?”

“Hoaaa… … !”

When I throw in a keyword with a slight wink, Derke’s face finally blooms. Although he was young, he seems to have a clear understanding.

It was definitely an issue to address.

My identity is a trial worker.

It was clear that I would be in big trouble if I dared to use a dragon as part-time job.

So, as I just said, it has to be part of the class. A form in which Derke voluntarily participated. Even with the plausible purpose of ‘experiential learning’ overlaid.

“If that’s the case, that’s fine! Death Dragon, something that Derke wanted to experience!”

“Okay, that’s it. You’re quick to notice.”

“Hey, Derke! If I can be with my brother, I will do my best to help!”

“Haha, thank you. I was already short on workers. Thanks to you, are you strong?”

“It’s just that you do whatever you ask me to do, yap-! Even washing dishes! Cleaning too! Everyone is confident Death Yong-!”

The sullen Derke from before died,

Only the lively Derke survived.

Like a dragon of death, he is quick to escape from his ego.

ㅡTurn up!

And now, Derke holds my hand tightly.

“Thanks to that, I’m not lonely every afternoon, Deathyong-! It’s exciting to be able to do hands-on learning with Derke, too!”

It seems you like my suggestion quite a bit.

He always nods with a wide smile on his face.

And even mislead the surroundings-! running guy.

It’s just as cute as if you’re looking at a dog out for a walk.

The tone of voice is back to what it used to be,

Rather lively is much better.

It didn’t go well with the title of Dragon of Death… … .

‘Certainly, it would be better to be with me than wandering around lonely and desolate outside.’

I also felt a sense of relief inside.

Seeing the delighted Derke,

A smile settles on my face as well.

It feels like one of my worries has been relieved.

‘But looking at it now, how can Sophia solve the bullying, let alone the bullying?’

Even so, in the middle of the day, anxiety swells.

Although I asked Sophia for Derke,

I wondered if this would be a fundamental solution.

At least for the next 400 years, he will be living in the academy, but I wonder if Derke will be able to get through it alone… … .

ㅡdalgrak, moongrak… !

When thinking about the future of Derke,

You can hear the sound of bowls snapping together.

“yes? what?”

When I came to my senses, Derke was carefully stacking plates and cups on the table.

Like a leaning tower erected at an angle.

In a very unstable way.

It looks like it will collapse any minute.

Oh, I don’t know.

I am not a father of any kind.

For now, that’s all I can do.

The rest have no choice but to trust Sophia and Derke.

“Derke? It’s dangerous to collect so many at once! wait i will help you… … !”

“Whoa? This is heavier than I thought. … !”

Right now, I have to help that precarious girl.

***

Clearly, the number of hands increased, so the chores were handled quickly.

When I was alone, it seemed to take an hour to wash the dishes and tidy up, but with Derke’s help, I was able to finish the work in less than 30 minutes.

How did you help me with that little body?

It is also true that Derke had a mysterious ability.

ㅡswipe, snip… !

ㅡdalgrak, charreureuk… !

Unbelievably, the broom moved alone in the air, and various dishwashers jumped into the sink and scraped off the dirt with a scrubber.

At first, I was astonished.

All of a sudden, things floated around.

But all of this was Derke’s ability.

When I said that it was dangerous to overdo it with my small body, I thought about it for a while, and then I did it.

ㅡThere is nothing too surprising, yap… ! Derke’s spirit friends are helping, so there’s nothing to be afraid of!

Derke just smiled and said that the ghosts were helping.

Perhaps, as a heir to the Dragon of Death, he can command spirits like he showed on the first day.

“It’s over now, yap-!”

“Bur, already?”

“Is there anything else I can help you with?”

“… Isn’t this honey?”

“Frog… ? It’s a pity, but the ghost of the frog doesn’t exist yet!”

The guy who tilted his head and asked back as if he didn’t know what he meant. Green eyes are rolling around along the head.

“Oh, nothing. Thanks anyway! Will you help me from now on?!”

“Of course yap-! It’s a great way to hold on to your worries!”

I, who was worried about Derke’s friendship, is nowhere to be found, and I want to use Derke’s abilities for the rest of my life. The feeling that my heart, which wanted to restore the relationship with my classmates, is fading.

ㅡThump! rip off… !

“Ah? What are you doing yap-?”

I sifted my personal desires through a sieve along with the flour.

Flour dust spreads in all directions, and a whitish figure looms near the sink.

Those ghosts must have helped with cleaning and washing dishes. Poor ghosts who don’t know who they are but can’t even rest because they’re dead.

“brother? Are you listening to Derke’s words?”

“Ah, since I’m done organizing, I’m going to make desserts for the ladies tomorrow and something to present to your friends.”

“Huh-? If you are my friend… … .”

“Motives. I like it or I don’t like it, but it’s not something I need to see in the future. Wouldn’t it be nice to get closer by gifting snacks?”

Life is give and take.

I received help, so it was necessary to repay.

I did what I wanted to do in the first place.

“Haha… ! Uh-! Oppa is really kind, yap-!”

“Would you like to help Derke make this? Because that would make more sense.”

“Of course Death Yong-! What should Derke do?”

“Okay, can you get me some milk from the warehouse first? Don’t make soul friends, if possible, do it yourself. Are you going to give it to your friends?”

“Desseuyong- who only leaves it to you!”

The guy who walks out with a triumphant gait with a lively answer.

“It’s cute… … . Shall I move slowly?”

While Derke headed to the back of the kitchen to get milk, I ground barley and almonds in a mortar. Then, it was mixed with the flour sifted through a sieve. Also add salt and sugar.

It was the base work for the dough.

“This is what milk is all about!”

When the basic base is ready, Derke comes out with a kettle the size of his torso.

“yes? Is that all? It’s a big deal.”

It wasn’t a problem right now, but

Thinking about the next day, it was not enough.

It was because there was no way to directly procure milk now that the barn had collapsed.

I had no choice but to wait for John Johnson to quickly airlift the planting path.

“Derke, by any chance, did something wrong… ?”

“Oh, no. Thanks for bringing it.”

ㅡsqueak… !

I received milk from Derke and mixed it with the prepared ingredients. He even hit hard. until a suitable consistency is obtained.

ㅡChideok, chideok, chideok… !!

“Kyahaha-! Feeling squeaky clean! It’s strange, but it’s fun death-!”

Oh, and of course with Derke.

He also divided the dough into portions and distributed them to him.

It was more meaningful to do it together.

“You shouldn’t play with your food. You have to hold on tight.”

“Ah, I get it, yap-!”

With Derke holding the dough, he looked like a little girl playing with a liquid monster. It wasn’t perfect dough, but the process of making it together is meaningful.

“This should have been enough.”

After finishing the dough, I mixed it with Derke’s dough. When the two doughs are mixed together, a plausible result is completed.

ㅡBrush, rustle!

Next, I used a paper bag to seal the dough bowl as much as possible.

Yeast was not included, but

I was hoping for the dough to rise as much as possible.

I should have warmed up some milk and put it in.

‘Anyway, if I make the key grains to serve while the dough rises… … .’

“… But brother-!”

“yes? what’s the matter?”

As I am concentrating on my next step, Derke looks up at me and asks a question.

“What are we making now?”

Oh right. I was obsessed with making dessert tomorrow, and I was making the dough without any explanation.

Surprisingly, what I am making now is not in the book that Johnson gave me as a gift.

“Derke, have you ever heard of biscuits?”

“case… bread… ?”

It’s also something I’ve never heard of.

“Yes, biscuits.”

“This is the first time I’ve heard of it… !”

“If you try it, you will probably like it.”

“If my brother makes it, I look forward to it, yap… !”

“great. Then what about Derk? Can you help me one last time?”

No matter how similar the academy is to military life, if it only serves biscuits, the ladies will be dissatisfied.

It was meant to be served to noble ladies, but if the war rations were provided insincerely, a war might really break out.

“What else can I help you with?”

“Before I make something to accompany you, there’s a place we should visit together.”

The real point starts now.
