28 – perfect for hatchlings

ㅡ bubbling bubbling… !

Steam rises from a large pot.

At the same time, thick air bubbles swell.

It was a sign that everything was cooked.

The visual was similar to the witch’s pot, but

The content was really boring.

Even so, there was no particular content.

—-Pretty… ! sigh… !

It’s just bubbling and boiling in the transparent liquid.

“Sniff sniff… ! It smells so sweet, yap-!”

Do dragons have a developed sense of smell like dogs? At just the right timing, Derke snorts. If you boil it any longer, the contents will burn.

“Looks like this is enough. Derke? It’s hot, so step back.”

“Ah, I get it, yap-!”

ㅡThe gruck, jurruk… !

I poured the thick liquid from the pot onto a wide, flat tray. Then, the clear and transparent liquid spreads evenly along the frame of the tray.

It was like jelly.

Should I say it’s close to starch syrup?

Anyway, I was sure it was cooked properly.

“Very sticky Deathyong… ! Sweet smell! I want to try it right away!”

Derkke bursts out an innocent reaction, as if he was surprised to see it spread as wide as glass along the tray.

“no. Not yet, wait.”

In response to this reaction, I unknowingly stopped Derke as if giving a command to a puppy. Perhaps thanks to Beast Taming, Derke immediately followed my words.

“I’ll show you the taste as soon as it’s finished, so can you wait?”

“yes! Of course yap-!”

It’s very hot right now, and it’s easy to process later if you harden it properly.

What I just boiled was sugar water.

That’s right, I was preparing star candy right now.

In a very easy and simple way.

‘It would have looked better if there were only pigments… … .’

There was also brown sugar from the restaurant, but it was obvious that it would not go well with the color of the biscuits. Because of this, I had no choice but to harden the pure white sugar water, leaving behind my regrets.

White is also the original color of star candy.

It wasn’t difficult to make star candy.

If you harden it like this and break it, you’re done.

Really that’s all. I don’t need anything else.

I took a break for a while until it hardened enough like this. While checking the firepower of the oven.

And when the sugar finally hardens… … .

ㅡQuasak! Quasac! Cadeuk!

After removing it from the tray with a spatula,

Break it down to a suitable size and you’re done.

The irregular shape was more like a meteorite than a star.

And by the time this is all done… … .

—-Drreuk… !

The biscuits were also toasted.

It’s perfect timing, like a clock.

Is it because of the firepower of the furnace?

It’s okay to be more brown than you think.

It was also good to apply melted butter at the end.

“Is this enough success?”

“Wow! The savory smell yap-!”

After confirming the finished product, Derke also cheers. But, I feel like something is missing.

“Well? Nothing floats?”

Even when I was making sponge cake, a system message popped up, but nothing came up in the biscuits. Clearly, nothing was wrong.

—-Mum, Mum… !

It was crispy on both the outside and inside.

The nutty flavor of butter is also felt well.

But that was all. I don’t really feel any taste.

‘Well, biscuits aren’t particularly delicious desserts… … .’

I was blown away by the taste of freshly baked biscuits.

Are biscuits still just biscuits?

“me too! Dercedo-! I want to taste it quickly!”

“Oh, right. It’s hot, so blow on it.”

I gave one to Derke, who was staring at me with envy. It could be that I was the only one who felt regret, so I needed confirmation from the locals.

—-Hoo… ! oh oh oh… ! haap-!

Derke, who put the biscuits in his palm and blew the wind, swallowed them.

Then he made a few creaking noises… … .

“Um-? It tastes savory… … . A lot of stuffy death… … .”

Look, Deerke, who has a low hurdle of taste, is just that kind of reaction. I can’t even say that I’m not good at looking at my eyes.

“right? It’s not over yet.”

“What else is left, yap-?”

“yes. I will make it delicious in no time.”

If I made the biscuits a little faster, I’d take them to the restaurant and ask them to fry them a little… … . Even so, it is too difficult to manage to use cooking oil in the break room.

—-Rurrrr… !

After cooling the freshly baked biscuits, I poured them into the large wok used to roast coffee beans. It’s never about failing and giving up.

It was meant to be this way from the beginning.

ㅡ Tak! Roaring… !

Then he lit the stove and heated it over high heat.

ㅡTal Tal Tal Tal!

Just add a little sugar on top of it.

—-They… !

After that, stir-fry until the sugar is evenly infiltrated into the dry place. The point is to stir gently so that the biscuits do not break.

And only for a very short time.

ㅡ Tak!

After stumbling once or twice,

immediately put out the fire.

No need to fry more.

Because sugar shouldn’t burn.

Now, if you decorate the end, it is finally finished.

“Derke? Can you bring me some star candy?”

“Star candy… … ?”

“yes. The one I broke into granules earlier.”

“Aha! Death-yong that only leaves it to you! Star Candy is such a cute name!”

“I only need to pour a bag of star candy here.”

“Ah, the death dragon that Derke pours-?”

“Then, I’m going to give it to my friends, wouldn’t it be nice for you to do the finishing touches?”

“That’s a very smart idea, yap-!”

ㅡTal Tal Tal Tal!

As soon as he answered, Derke poured the star candy that he had subdivided into a paper bag into the wok.

Now that’s the real finish.

Before the moist melted sugar on the surface of the biscuits hardens, quickly mix it so that the star candy sticks to it.

As expected, the completion of the biscuits is star candy.

ㅡTitling!

At the same time, a system alert sounds.

[Biscuit filled with star candy – ★★☆ : It is no longer a combat ration. It seems that the supply of sweet star candy is necessary periodically to prevent a war to win the biscuits.]

[Rating increases by ☆ due to ‘Dragon’s Touch’, the perk of the rapport target.]

[Dragon’s Hand Taste – The way a dragon knows best about a dragon’s appetite. In particular, young Hetzlings are more honest than anyone else. Because of this, I can implement the intuitive taste better than anyone else.]

Yeah, I was hoping for something like this.

Honestly, I wondered if the biscuits would work… … .

It’s also two and a half stars.

Anyway, I didn’t know that the system would recognize biscuits and star candy. The game developer guy, he’s definitely a military man.

That’s a huge success.

By the way, what’s the perk?

The sudden taste of the dragon?

Has the reward for attacking Derke been activated now?

I tilt my head at the unexpected message. But good is good, and today I see Derke’s virtue.

In the future, we will often make dessert together.

“It looks clunky, but would you like to try one?”

“I was waiting for those words, yap-! I want to eat it quickly!”

When I pick up a biscuit filled with star candy, Derke looks up at me with eyes sparkling like star candy.

“Here, here. Shall I eat one too?”

“Thank you for eating!”

“”Wasasak—!!!””

We took a bite of the star candy-stuffed biscuit at the same time and took a bite at the same time.

very sweet and crispy

Still sweet… sweet again

When I only ate raw biscuits, my mouth felt dry and I didn’t like it, but just adding sugar and star candy made it a completely different thing.

“Don’t drink-?! That’s too… ?!”

“What do you think? Do you like it?”

“It tastes like it will melt your tongue… … !!!!”

Derke’s exclamation soon followed.

He looks up to me and his eyes light up.

It looked like he was genuinely moved.

It’s frankly sweet, but it’s probably perfect for a child’s palate.

“Now, take this and give it to your friends one by one. Saying you made it.”

“But this one was made by Breeder oppa… … .”

“I’m okay. I am satisfied with the fact that you ate deliciously.”

“Oh, you are such a kind person, Tetsuyong-! This is a snack that is so delicious that it would be a waste to share it with friends. ! Derke to the point where I want to eat it alone… … .”

“Oh no, then no. Did you make it so that you could get closer with your friends in the first place?”

“Ah! No, I’m kidding yap-! Derke, you’re not such a greedy dragon!”

Derke gets restless when I joke and put away the biscuits.

“Whoa, that’s a joke. Do you really need to share a delicious meal with your friends?”

“Hehe-♬ Thank you-!”

When several bags of the appropriate amount were dispensed into a paper bag, Derke expressed his gratitude in a normal tone for some reason.

And at the same time… … .

ㅡTitling!

[The sympathy of the sympathy target increases significantly!]

[Derke (Lv.201) – Worship Relationship]

[You have confirmed the new affinity level.]

[You have checked the tip of the ‘Friendship’ stage.]

[The sympathy target will be willing to use their abilities and perks for you.]

‘What is this again?’

As soon as I handed out the biscuits to Derke, another layer of system messages came to my mind.

Looking at the contents, it seemed that I could use Derke’s ability and the ‘dragon’s touch’ that came to mind earlier.

Now he could borrow Derke’s hand every afternoon.

The title ‘worship’ was fitting.

But worship is too grandiose.

I only made biscuits.

No matter how much he likes snacks, I never thought that attacking would be so easy.

Perhaps, if you attack the sympathy target to the worship stage, you can benefit from these perks and the ability of the sympathy target.

Oh, by the way… … .

“By the way, Derke? What did you just say?”

“Hey-? I said thank you!”

“No, not that. Can you say the same thing as before?”

“Huh… ?”

The guy staring at me as if he doesn’t understand what I mean. After looking at my face for a while, Derke moves his lips again.

“Go, thank you Tetsuyong… … ?”

Derke’s answer was completely different from before.

He was using his usual way of speaking.

And then the guy who tilts his head and looks at me with an expression that he doesn’t know why.

Judging by the look on his face, it didn’t look like he was making a fuss.

‘I think I said it in a normal tone earlier, but what is it… … ?’

Derke is a guy you really don’t know even if you know him.

done. How are you? I’m already looking forward to the first grade roll call this evening.

I hope you can get closer with your classmates through this.
