87 – Out of line

「Beast Taming」, 「Gourmet Feeding」

My only means of survival and the skills I possess.

With these, I have been communing with girls solely for survival.

At first, I just communicated with them for a comfortable and stable academy life, but the abilities of the sympathizers were all amazing.

First of all, the [purification of light] that made it possible to withstand Bennettrick’s oppressive murder.

Without this, it would have been impossible to have a normal conversation with Benedict, who was furious from the start.

I still can’t figure out when Sofia gave this to me, but thanks to that, I was able to not shrink in front of Bennett.

And secondly [Deterioration of the Fire Dragon]

This has boosted my confidence.

So as not to be intimidated by the dragon.

Thanks to the stacking of these two buffs, I was able to escape Benedict’s clutches.

If it hadn’t been for these things, I would have been forced to become a teaching assistant without even making a sound… … .

It’s terrifying to think about.

Forced to change jobs as a teaching assistant?

Thinking about it again, the user is much better.

‘By the way, to think that Benetric, who was cold and expressionless, would show a puzzled expression in front of me… … .’

I still have vivid memories.

ㅡIf you took care of me now because of simple anger, you would never taste that dessert again, would you?

Benedict, who had been furious with fire, could not easily speak at this one word. He just glared at me with a puzzled face.

It was probably the first time in my life.

That humans fight dragons.

It is also proudly with an appearance that is not at all shrinking.

Of course, even after that, the roads ran rampant, saying that I was rude, but Benedict did not harm me directly.

He just kept threatening me and threatening me to become a teaching assistant.

It was completely unprofessional speech.

He had no negotiating skills whatsoever.

Until now, the other races must have acted on their own to please her dragon, so it might be natural in a way.

‘I’m already a slave, but I’m going to be a slave-like assistant again… … . Am I crazy?’

There was no advantage at all.

The movement of the hierarchy should be vertical,

Being horizontal means nothing.

It was just that the chain of slavery was changed to the name of assistant.

The ending of being held captive by Bennett for the rest of your life is something that is not to be desired.

“Vice principal? Rather than that, please allow me to start with the budget support for the rest room that you promised. If the facility gets better, we will be able to treat you to more delicious things like this from time to time.”

I went one step further and was making a bold request to Benedict. Indeed, the buff that Fire Dragon gave me was hot to the end.

“Are you trying to negotiate with me right now?!”

“It is not a negotiation. I just ask for what I promised. As a proud dragon, you’re not trying to reverse the academy’s vice-principal’s statement that he liked my food, right?”

“Oh, cheeky… … !!!”

It was actually a conversation I had with Benedict.

Benedict was angry and indignant,

I couldn’t do anything in front of the correct words.

She must have known very well that there was no manpower capable of replacing me right away.

As a result, it was Bennettrick who lowered his tail first.

“To think of yourself as a slave… … . Okay, I’d rather be human. As promised, the budget will be properly supported.”

“Are you sure?”

“instead! You must keep the word that you will accept your sins sweetly during your sentence! So that we can do our best for the academy!”

Those were the words Benedict spat reluctantly.

To achieve victory against the dragon.

She didn’t say anything more, perhaps because she was uncomfortable with this fact.

I thought you would just slam the break room door and leave, but what?

I still remember the words she said shyly as she stood up from her seat while looking at me.

“Kuhm… ! Aside from other things… … . What was the topping on the last pizza I ate?”

Even in such a heavy atmosphere, he seemed to keep wondering what the ingredients of the pizza were.

“The crunchy texture and sweet water flowing out made it feel like fruit, but I couldn’t have put such nonsense on pizza… … .”

“Fruits are right.”

“What, what… … ?”

“I used a drill apple as a topping that only comes from Valkyrie Island. The ingredients were chosen to reflect the taste of the vice principal, who usually likes natural sweetness.”

“No matter what, fruit on pizza… ? How could you… … ???”

Bennett didn’t believe it easily at first.

When do you enjoy eating that much?

It was truly a dragon with a different front and back.

However, thanks to her contradictory attitude, I was able to remain confident until the end.

“Didn’t the professor tell you? Please prepare food with a combination that is not common in the world.”

“But that’s why you came up with a combination like this… … ? This is the first time I’ve ever had such a ridiculous combination! Besides, I didn’t even think that it would fit surprisingly well… … ?”

Upon realizing the identity of the topping, Benetric looked confused.

It was what you asked for,

Fruit on pizza… … .

It seemed like it was hard to believe.

Benedict, who seemed to be about to leave, sat down again to savor and observe the pizza for a while.

“Hey, over there… Breeder?”

Then, he looked at me and spoke shyly once more.

“… Hey, can you wrap the leftovers for me… … ?”

“Sure. I guess you liked it quite a bit?”

“Oh, don’t get me wrong! It’s not that I’m going to eat again, but I’m doing my own research… … !!”

Benedict had been proud to the end and even asked for wrapping. He’s probably going to go back to the lab and have a good meal.

Her insignificant pride was no longer my concern. That’s because you got the results you wanted.

After that, after wrapping all the remaining pizzas, I was finally freed from Bennettrick.

“Huh, I think I’ll live a little longer.”

After going through many twists and turns in the morning, it is already 2:00 PM. It was only now that I was finally able to enjoy my free time.

… … .

After a storm passed, the break room was very quiet.

“Hmm, hmm… Hmm-♪”

It was none other than my hum that broke the silent silence.

After enduring a crisis that made me want to give up everything, I couldn’t feel this free.

—-Hororok… !

Now the coffee goes over comfortably.

happy. It tastes good. It’s worthwhile.

I never thought things would work out this way better than I thought.

There was another reason I was so excited besides Benetric’s promise of budget support.

ㅡAh, the budget support is also supported, but it seems that the rest room facilities must be completely changed. I’ll talk to the General Affairs Department and the Management Department so they can take action to remodel it.

Those were the words Benetrix said as he looked back before leaving with the packaged pizza.

Not only the replacement of kitchen tools, but also a bud remodeling. To be honest, it was an unexpected support.

I wondered what if he bothered me more because of his petty pride.

ㅡIf we start construction tomorrow… … . It can be completed within three days at the earliest.

ㅡ Huh? What are you doing in the meantime? It’s already a two-day weekend tomorrow, so how about taking a break?

And that wasn’t all.

Get some rest over the weekend.

It was hard to believe at first.

It must have been thanks to the increase in favorability of the mint chocolate chip cake and Hawaiian pizza. No matter how much sympathy was rejected, the affinity was maintained.

‘A 2-3 day vacation for me, a servant?’

It was the first time I was treated like a person at the academy. And that wasn’t all.

ㅡInstead, you should also attend the weekend worship every week. With my authority, I’ll give you one day off from the break room during the weekend.

I will give you one day off every week.

Instead, one condition was added.

What kind of worship are you suddenly attending?

—-As a dragon hater, I sincerely apologize every week. And I will pass this on to Sophia. After all, managing the worship of all students is his responsibility.

Those were Benedict’s last words before leaving the break room.

Worship on the weekend, what the hell is that?

Haven’t you heard of it at all during vacation?

Whatever it was, it didn’t seem that difficult.

There was nothing wrong with that, because it wasn’t a condition to do something else instead of taking a break.

Originally, there was no holiday like this until now. Even on weekends, the break room was open until lunchtime. For staff who are present for duty or extra work.

That’s why I thought it would be the same on weekends during the semester, but a really unintended opportunity led to a regular holiday.

“I didn’t even add sugar, but the coffee is sweet today… … .”

Thanks to that, the humming song came out naturally.

It was the first time I had been so peaceful.

It was the most leisurely weekday since I started working as a servant.

‘Well? Come to think of it, Derke didn’t come today, right?’

When I was enjoying freedom to the fullest as if I had been freed from slavery, a thought suddenly crossed my head.

For some reason, I want to hear the sound of “—Detsuyong!”

At first, it was an awkward way of speaking, but now I feel strange if I don’t listen to it even for a day.

What is it? The guy who ran right after lunch break until yesterday? Could it be that it’s because they put up a “CLOSE” sign?

ㅡKi profit… !

I looked outside just in case, but there was no one outside. The same was true of the back corner of the dormitory building where the barn was located.

“Ah, are you finally playing with your friends?”

Suddenly, a plausible possibility comes to mind.

Come to think of it, it’s still afternoon class time.

He’s probably visiting the academy with his classmates.

I said that I don’t have to come to visit every day, but I feel empty because I can’t see his face like this.

ㅡBussleuk… !

I’ll have to bring you a small gift later during roll call.

A simple and convenient snack that you can sneak in.

***

I sucked honey like never before during my afternoon routine. Because no one was looking for a break room.

Even after dinner time after the work day, I shut myself in the break room and enjoyed my alone time.

For a brief moment, I felt like a late-life sergeant.

During that time, I took a comfortable break, but I used the spare time to make simple desserts.

“Should we move slowly now?”

I headed to the dormitory with not much left before the evening roll call.

ㅡBussleuk… !

I also brought gifts to share with everyone.

[Three Flavor Meringue Cookies- ★★★ : Dessert that is simple to make but requires a lot of care. It has a sweet taste and a texture that melts on your tongue. However, each has a different taste, so special attention is required.]

[Rank Gourmet’s feeding effect increases the grade by ★.]

Earlier, I made ‘three flavors’ meringue cookies.

It was because I had a lot of free time.

As the foodie’s feeding rank has gone up, it seems that even if you make a simple dessert, you can get more than 3 basic stars. I must have been very skilled while rolling around.

“Report on the number of 1st grade evening roll callers… !”

Upon entering the dormitory, Tina is out for the evening roll call report.

I haven’t even rang the bell for the roll call yet, but I’m here on time… … . 1st grade is also the most special.

“Ah, report it.”

“A total of 10 people! One out of the box! Nothing special!”

huh? There are exceptions, but there are no special issues?

“Outside? Who is left out?”

“ah… ! Derke is currently out!”

“D-Derke… ? For what reason did you drop out?!”

“Ah, that… that’s it… … .”
