54 – Mincho flavor before the storm

“Hoo? If it’s a special cake… … ?”

“Yes, that’s right. Like we promised last time, would you like to taste it first?”

I held up the cake I had just finished and recommended it to Johnson. A dessert that hides plenty of mint cream inside thick chocolate chips.

“Whoa… ! It looks decent from what it looks like!”

John Johnson approaches with his pea-sized eyes shining. It was caught properly by the plausible appearance.

‘Good. I just needed someone to taste it for me.’

My assistant today is John Johnson.

In order to pay for the dessert recipe book,

I wanted to hear an objective evaluation of mint choco from a heterogeneous tribe with an ordinary taste.

Of course, in absolute terms, it was not at the level of an ordinary sense of taste. He was a dwarf who said that even after drinking coffee with my special syrup, it was delicious… … .

That said, you can’t ask the ladies to taste it. Of course, it was something he couldn’t ask for even more from Derke.

Perhaps, if that happened, he would openly hate me, overshadowing the favorability of the cult level or the dragon’s oath.

So, John Johnson is a good experimental group.

Anyway, I was curious to see what kind of reaction he would show.

“Please sit down and wait a moment. I’ll give it to you soon.”

“good! My mouth is already watering… … !”

“He also has eyes that see.”

ㅡDeolgeureok, Tak… !

I immediately set the cake down on the table in front of the kitchen. And then.

ㅡTitling!

[Mint Chocolate Chip Cake – ????? : A masterpiece or masterpiece of the century that will open a new horizon of taste. I don’t recommend trying to discuss the taste of this. It may be poison to some, but to others it is the ultimate dessert… … .]

A system message flashes belatedly.

At first, I thought it didn’t recognize mint chocolate.

Otherwise, I thought nothing was showing up because I couldn’t bear to call it a dessert.

But what?

‘What’s this? Aren’t there any star ratings?’

I couldn’t help but be surprised when I read the contents.

Recognizing mint chocolate is also surprising,

Five question marks instead of star ratings?

The explanation of system messages was also unfamiliar.

Even so, there was no expression of taste at all.

It was an attitude that even the system was reluctant to evaluate, with the phrase ‘It is not recommended to discuss the taste of this recklessly’.

After all, it is impossible to objectively define the difference in taste.

“Ho-! It’s bright from the outside… ! Did he finally complete his masterpiece of conversion?!”

“Are you already liking it?”

“Yes-!! It looks delicious just by looking at it!”

Shorty John Johnson hurriedly sits down in a chair and exclaims. His face resembled that of a dwarf who found an ancient artifact or rare ore.

“Right? Does it look delicious?”

“Of course! Above all, what is buried on the surface… Could it be real chocolate?!”

John Johnson makes a fuss and strokes his curly beard. Perhaps because he was excited, he had been pulling his beard roughly.

Stop petting me, the cake will curl up and fall off.

“yes. I tried to show off my skills.”

“I can’t imagine using such a precious dessert generously for myself… … . Could it be that you, breeder, have succeeded in making homemade chocolate with cacao beans?!”

“Haha, that’s a trade secret. Go ahead and try it.”

Johnson’s reaction to the mint chocolate chip cake was not bad. No, on the contrary, I was genuinely happy. It was a face that seemed to impress me infinitely.

That’s right, the chocolate chips were hiding everything. The mint cream, which is the essence of the cake, was covered with chocolate and disturbing Johnson’s vision.

“Okay, once you try it, you’ll understand. Then where… … .”

ㅡSuzeuk, Suzeuk!

Johnson uses a fork and knife to cut the cake into a fan shape to make it easier to eat. His hand, which took off a piece of cake, stopped momentarily.

“yes? The inside color is very unfamiliar, isn’t it? The harmony of blue-green cream on black bread… What is this?”

Sheesh, is this why you don’t like quick-witted midgets?

“This is my ‘special’ cream. Do not doubt and try it.”

I smiled and offered the cake.

This wasn’t a commercial smile.

It was the first sincere smile shown to Johnson.

That would be the case, and revenge for beating me up during the vacation was right in front of me. The secret and petty vengeance towards Johnson is about to be completed soon.

“If it’s the special cream you made, there’s no reason to doubt it! I know your skills better than anyone else, so you can’t doubt it!”

I’m sorry for nothing, but Johnson showed me infinite trust and said -! spread out

ㅡHaap!

Johnson finally tastes the cake.

He threw everything in without fear.

With a cautious chin, in case you spill expensive chocolate.

—-Mum, Mum… !

After safely landing the cake in his mouth, Johnson moves his jaw joint and chews the cake.

ㅡThump! pounding! pounding!

I don’t even eat, but I’m nervous for no reason. I can’t wait to see what kind of reaction it will show…

“Guyueee … ! Guaaa… !!!”

“???”

ㅡKuuuuu!!

John Johnson, who swallowed the mink chocolate chip cake, screamed out loud in an instant! He screams and then falls forward.

While burying my face in the precious (?) mint chocolate chip cake.

“Oh, is this direct effect?”

It was honestly an unexpected reaction.

I was just expecting a look of distress.

To collapse like a sudden shock death?

“Hey, Chief Johnson?”

“… … .”

“I hope he’s not really dead… … ?”

***

I just knew that Johnson was dead.

No matter how much I slap you and shake you,

Because there was hardly any response.

I couldn’t come to my senses easily, like a person who was in shock after eating poison. Still, like a dwarf with a stocky physique, he did not die easily.

ㅡSweetie… Sack… ! Sweetheart… … !

Fortunately, there was no danger to life, so the hide was well attached.

When John Johnson comes to his senses and wakes up,

It took approximately 30 minutes.

It was a million bucks. It was because the sentence almost increased.

‘I wouldn’t eat it if I knew it would react so violently… … . Was it a little mischievous?’

Anyway, as soon as John Johnson woke up, he burst into a rage, saying he was disappointed in me.

How can chocolate, a luxury dessert, be wasted in this way? He still picked out and ate the chocolate without the cream on it.

I just wanted to take a small revenge,

It almost cost him his life.

Anyway, I’m glad I woke up again.

After waking up, Johnson nagged me for a while and then left the break room.

‘Maybe it’s the first time you’ve ever been so picky? If anyone sees it, they’ll think they’ve been betrayed by an old friend.’

Anyway, I’m sorry, but it’s okay.

Because I must have tasted the betrayal properly.

It won’t appear often in the break room from now on.

And if you hate it that much, it will also be proof that you have saved the taste of mint really well.

ㅡdalgrak, moongak… !

As soon as John Johnson grumbled and left, I prepared a drink with a relieved heart.

That’s the drink I’m going to serve to the ladies today.

Fried biscuits alone would only quench thirst.

It’s a salty and addictive side dish, but a drink that goes well with it is a must.

In my mind, I wanted to serve it with beer. But if you do, everyone will be drunk. And I’ll create a scene like yesterday’s entertainment district.

If that happened, everyone would be suspended or expelled.

Of course I can’t be safe either.

It is unreasonable to serve alcohol in many ways.

It’s going to be hard to find too.

ㅡjorruk… !

I spilled honey on my plain latte.

It’s the special honey that I put in rice flour yesterday.

The latte was deliberately chilled in advance.

To quench the thirst tied to the throat in a refreshing way.

The lack of an ice machine is one of the worst things. If only there was ice, it could create a cooler feeling than beer.

Anyway, if yesterday it was a combination of sweet and savory, today it was a combination of sweet, salty and salty.

ㅡTitling!

[Special honey iced latte – ★★☆ : A sweet flavor was added by adding special honey to an ordinary latte. You can drink it without any burden.]

[The grade rises by ☆ by using Valkyrie Island’s ‘special honey’.]

After all, the raw material must be good, right?

I just added it, but the star rating goes up.

It would have been the icing on the cake if Derke’s dragon taste was added to this.

It wasn’t easy to get more than three stars in many ways.

‘Jeop, if I had time, I’d make a dalgona latte… … .’

Today, time was lacking in many ways. I had to make cakes for Sophia and Diora in advance in the morning… … . Because of that, I had no choice but to choose a simple latte.

The cakes have already been packed in paper boxes.

All preparations were completed on time, but

I’m worried about a little bit of anxiety and awkwardness.

Do you remember the star rating of the latte you just made?

The mint chocolate chip cake was also something I was worried about.

I was a bit uneasy about having to compete with a dessert I made by myself without adjusting the taste of Derke’s dragon.

‘By the way, it’s going to be slow now.’

“Da-cherry-!”

Today, I had to come without fail.

Just in time, the time to greet the ladies.

—-Rurrr… … !!!

As expected, the 4th grade girls flock to the knife-like time.

ㅡIsn’t today’s lunch okay?

—-That’s right. It’s been a long time since I’ve tried a full meal.

ㅡ After all, you have to say one thing to be heard, right?

—-It was fine. Today’s fried chicken is… … .

ㅡI wish it was the same every time.

Five? The reaction is good today.

Ramswich, it looks like he’s finally done it.

As I told you, you seem to have survived your lunch break well.

—-Drreuk… !

“Hey, Breeder? Did you prepare today’s dessert well?”

When everyone is seated, Diora, not Sophia, asks me as a representative. Probably asking for a dessert that will be served separately later.

“… … .”

Sophia, on the other hand, said nothing.

Just looking at me with yellow eyes.

It was as if something had been put down.

Perhaps because of the aftermath of what happened yesterday, Diora subtly seemed to be leading the atmosphere in the 4th year.

“Yes, of course. If you sit down, I will serve you the dessert and drink of the day.”

I’m already curious.

How will Sophia and Diora taste the mint chocolate and how will they react?
