40 – The younger Hetzling, the more honest-!

ㅡTitling!

[The affection of the subject of conditional sympathy increases significantly!]

[This is reflected as it is when conditional rapport is successful.]

[Conversely, if conditional rapport fails, it will be invalidated and will turn into a hostile relationship.]

I only ate one biscuit,

Notification windows lined up in front of my eyes.

In the case of Sophia, the same message as before came to mind.

It was a message meaning to behave well, as the affinity level has gone up, but they are not yet the target of sympathy.

On the other hand, in the case of Derke.

ㅡTitling!

[It is already a sympathy target in the ‘worship’ stage.]

[There is no point in increasing the favorability any more.]

[With the ‘Gourmet Feeding’ effect, the rapport target will do anything for you today!]

It reminds me of the message I saw for the first time.

Because I don’t have any more feelings to raise,

Or maybe it’s because they worship me.

I can feel Derke’s will to do anything for me just from the message on the status window.

Just looking at the status window makes me feel special.

You can play outside with your friends

To come and keep the promise until the end… … .

“Today, too, delicious Tatsuyong… ?!!”

By the way, Derke ate the dessert I made the most in the world more than anyone else. But today, the way we eat biscuits is a bit different.

“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … .”

Besides, the reaction was also a bit excessive.

A pale saliva drips from the corners of your mouth.

It looked as if the salivary glands had exploded.

Derke couldn’t even close his mouth properly,

I slowly savored the star candy on the outside.

Like eating candy, I was melting and eating it.

“Derke?! What are you doing now that your uniform is all wet?”

Thank you for the delicious food,

I couldn’t keep watching this.

I quickly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

“Huh? Sorry Des Yong… !”

Derke swallowed his saliva and continued.

“But it tastes better if you eat it this way, yap…” ! Yesterday too, the last remaining biscuits were a waste, so everyone melted them slowly and ate them like this!”

“ah? Is it really?”

It’s quite good for first graders.

Enjoying limited quantities to the limit.

Well, it must have been a pity that there wasn’t anything else to snack on.

Even last night, the first graders who must have fallen asleep in a state of drowsy drunk on the sugar of star candy are good in the eyes.

ㅡAhhhhh, crunchy… !

On the other hand, Sofia continues to eat the biscuits with a rather calm face. She didn’t even care if we talked or not.

I focused on savoring the taste of the biscuits.

Sophia’s face was calm as usual.

He even showed a relaxed eye smile.

I wondered if it was just the same reaction as when I first served Basic Coffee biscuits.

However… … .

ㅡCrunchy, crunchy… !

ㅡOh dog, oh dog… !

—-Wow… ! Wasak, wasak!!

Sophia continues to inhale the biscuits silently, as if to prove that the notification of the increase in favorability did not go off for nothing.

Her hands and mouth didn’t stop.

I continued to indulge in the biscuits in front of me.

I didn’t salivate like Derke, but

He was abusing biscuits with the utmost dignity.

“I… Sophia? Then you choke. Let’s have a drink together and enjoy it.”

“Sigh… ? Coke, Coke-! Oh, I guess that would be better… … ?”

Sophia, startled by my worried voice, dyes her cheeks red. Then, he punched his chest a few times with his fist! After hitting it, it was only then that he shifted his gaze to rice flour.

Sophia, who raised the glass, said, ‘I think I know why the classmates couldn’t come to their senses. It’s obviously incredibly sweet, but I don’t get tired of it,’ he murmured.

It was a calm voice, but it was a clear compliment.

ㅡBeep, beep, beep… !

Then, Sofia coolly crosses her neck and transfuses rice flour. No matter how choked it is, it clears more than half of it at once.

In front of thirst, it seemed that there was no dragon pride or anything.

Well, if you eat only biscuits, your mouth will feel really dry.

“Haaa… ? The savory flavor completely overpowers the sweetness?”

Sophia, who has been good at restraining her emotions, eventually mumbles a small exclamation.

I can’t stand the combination of biscuits and rice flour.

It is clear that he is properly satisfied now.

Seeing this, a sense of accomplishment rises from the bottom of my chest.

It was the moment when the fortress called Sofia, which had not budged from basic coffee biscuits, was finally captured by the combination of biscuits and rice flour.

“Ha, that’s pretty good. To be honest, I was really surprised, Mr. Breeder.”

“It is overrated. The lady likes it, so it’s an honor for me.”

However, the attack was impossible.

Was it because of the conditional communion quest?

It seemed difficult to attack perfectly unless it was Mint Choco.

“Haah, I want to try Derke at least once!”

Derke, who was staring at my face from the side, raises a glass along with Sophia. Then, Derke sips rice flour with two small hands.

ㅡgulp, gulp, gulp!

“Huhahaha… ?! Oh, it tastes so savory, yap-!”

Derke also admires the quenching of thirst.

But that was all.

After drinking, Derke looks puzzled.

“yes? What is it? Does it taste strange?”

“It’s not like that… It’s a bit stuffy, but… … .”

“ah? Are you stuffy?”

“Uh-! Derke is eaten with honey!”

Still, like a young Hetzling, it seemed that sweet things were better.

Definitely a better response than Sophia.

Every time I give an honest taste evaluation.

It wasn’t even a rude evaluation.

It was Derke who clearly pointed out the pros and cons even if the expression was lacking.

“Hey Mr. Breeder? Do you have any bowls?”

Sophia, who was watching this, spoke to me.

“Are you talking about the dish?”

“Yes, I would like to try the mixture as you recommended. I was just about to go out… … .”

“Oh, of course! Please wait a moment.”

Sophia knows better how to eat, probably because she has free time. Originally, they say it tastes best when you pour milk into a bag of biscuits… … .

ㅡDalgrak!

I gladly went into the kitchen and brought out two bowls and two spoons.

Derke didn’t even say anything,

It was obvious that I would try to follow it.

Eating it like cereal would be more fun for young children.

“I brought a bowl here.”

That was the moment I was about to put the bowl on the table.

「Dang-! Dang-!」

The grandfather clock strikes 2 p.m.

This soon meant the end of free time.

At the same time, it meant the start of afternoon classes.

“Oh, this can’t be… ? I wanted to enjoy it properly… ? why?”

Sophia checks her watch and makes a desperate expression.

Her face was like that of a saint who had heard the revelation of the end times.

***

The lounge where the 4th graders went was reminiscent of a battlefield.

Biscuit crumbs splattered everywhere like shells.

Droplets of rice flour protruding like bloodstains.

Even the bowls and glass cups that contained the biscuits were broken everywhere.

It wasn’t like comparing it to a battlefield for nothing.

It was difficult to respond to it today.

It happened because everyone got drunk on the sugary taste of the biscuits and gobbled them up.

What is Dragon’s Pride?

Even Yellowy won’t eat like this.

Thank you for the delicious meal, but I’m not the only one to organize.

‘If it wasn’t for Sophia, the ladies would still be sitting around, right? It’s terrifying to think about… … .’

The process of sending out the girls who had fallen asleep as if they were fainting was simpler than I thought.

After the 2 o’clock bell rang, Sophia got up and woke everyone up with the light she had shown during the purification earlier.

And then he spat out the words to his classmates who were dreaming that afternoon classes would start soon.

The power of one word, ‘start class’, was great.

Everyone came to their senses right away,

Everyone checked the class schedule.

Then, saying that you should never be late for class, everyone rushed out.

—-More, less so… !

ㅡSwitch, swuck, swuck, swuck… !

After a storm-like time has passed,

I continued cleaning with Derke.

Normally, it would have taken a month just to tidy up the break room.

However, thanks to Derke, I lived.

“Ah, Death Yong found a broken glass cup again!”

When Derke, who was wandering around the break room, shouted, a broom flew out of the air.

ㅡSsukssak! Snip!

Then, the broom itself swept and wiped the area indicated by Derke’s finger, and cleaned up neatly.

It was the same with washing the dishes.

The specters claimed to be dishwashers.

Just like yesterday, I was helping out.

You won’t find an automated system more convenient than this.

If it wasn’t for the real Derke,

I skipped dinner and almost worked overtime.

Besides cleaning, there were things I had to prepare for tomorrow.

‘By the way, what Sofia said before leaving… … . I can roughly understand it.’

ㅡDerke is not an ordinary child. Are you a hetzling with excellent innate qualities? So please support me well by your side. You made a promise to each other for the rest of your life, right?

These were the words Sophia left me before leaving the break room.

I agree with the term excellent hatchling.

But what about a lifetime commitment?

Same as before, I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

There must have been some serious misunderstanding, but I couldn’t speak to her as she quickly left to go to class.

—-Puff up, rustle… !

I took out a handful of dried mint leaves from the storage room, chewing on what Sofia had whispered to me.

“Breeder brother? What is that yap-?”

“Ah, these are the dessert ingredients I will make for Miss Sophia tomorrow.”

“Could it be that dessert dessert just for Sophia-senpai-?”

When I set down the sack of dried mint leaves,

Derke runs like a puppy.

A guy who looks inside the sack right away, befitting his age with great curiosity.

“Yeah, I was asked to do something myself the other day.”

“Sniff sniff! After, after… ?!”

“yes? Derke? what’s the matter?”

Derke suddenly cuts off my words and insults me.

“Ashes, the material smells strange, Death Yong-!”

“Ah, that’s right—”

“this… ! It’s obvious that the ingredients have gone bad… … !!!”

Oh, it’s not like that… … .
