Chapter 4 – Learning Is Cutlet

It was lunchtime and, of course, the front of the student cafeteria was crowded with many students. There was one person who caught their attention, but she, with silver hair, was, of course, the demon king who called me.

“Oh! You!”

As soon as she saw me, she smiled at me and waved her hand. Then her gaze, which had been on her, began to turn to me. I raised my hand and covered my face as much as possible as I approached the demon lord.

“Have you come now! I thought you weren’t coming!”

She smiled brightly at the demon king who didn’t know how noticeable she was. I said to her

“I sent hundreds of texts, and of course you have to come!”

“Why is that, I sent a little over a hundred.”

“That or that! How many times have I told you I knew!”

“Isn’t one action better than hundreds of words?”

“Ah, done. Why did you call me here?”

“I must have called to the restaurant to eat, why?”

Of course, seeing the face of the demon king talking, I lost my words for a moment.

“No, talking about my death while eating?”

“What’s up, I’m alive now. Ruler! Let’s go!”

The demon king took my hand and dragged me to the student cafeteria. It was lunchtime, she said, standing at the end of the line at her ticket vending machine.

“It was my dream to stand in line like this at a class like this.”

“What? Don’t you have any friends?”

“Jim has the talent to stand above someone, but he doesn’t have the talent to stand next to someone. Actually, you are Jim’s first friend.”

“You are a year older than me. You haven’t had any friends after living for over 20 years?”

“Well, a lot of people approached Jim, but not all of them for long. I don’t know why.”

I could understand why by listening to her tone.

“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know.”

As she said that, she pursed her lips and put on a dissatisfied expression. Even though it looked cute, I remembered how it stabbed me and my heart cooled. When she remembered the scene, she remembered why she called me.

“Is that so? But who killed me? I thought he died of blood loss.”

“It was obviously bleeding profusely. But the last wound was inflicted by someone else.”

“Who is that?”

“Jim was actually bleeding a lot, I don’t remember, but he definitely had red hair.”

“… It was red?”

“Um, it was. Besides, he had short hair. It probably came this far.”

The demon king pointed right below his ear.

Short red hair. Even after hearing this, I realized who the demon king was talking about.

“No one under my command has hair like that. Is it yours?”

“Ah, it’s mine. My name is Sarah. Dark elves and humans are of mixed blood.”

He was an orphan, but he grew up to be a ruthless assassin who belonged to the Royal Assassins. Her specialty was hitting coins with an arrow at a distance of about 50 meters, and she was remembered as a woman with excellent archery skills. When I first met her, I got the impression that she was like a machine, to the extent that she would eat unless ordered. However, I thought that she had changed a lot as she laughed and showed off her personality while staying together, but she seemed to be mistaken for me.

Seeing my bitter expression, the demon king asked.

“Was it someone close to you?”

“To some extent.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“No, it’s worth it. When the war ended, the royal family looked at me badly. I thought he would kill me, but I didn’t know he would kill me.”

“Under! Also humans.”

“Now you are human too.”

To break the awkward atmosphere, I weakly pushed the demon king’s shoulder. The demon king also looked at me with a light smile, as if he knew my intentions. Then, suddenly seeing what was behind me, he said.

“Ah! You have arrived! Hurry up and pick it up!”

What are you talking about, I looked back and realized. While we were talking, the Demon King and I had arrived in front of the ticket vending machine.

Looking at the touch panel in the ticket vending machine, I asked the devil.

“What do you want to eat?”

“What are you going to do with it?”

“I’m a passable pork cutlet!”

“Oh, I guess I’ll have to eat pork cutlet too!”

“That won’t work.”

“Hmm? What do you mean?”

“I’m pork cutlet, you’re something else, you can eat two kinds at once if you do that.”

“Oh oh! Jim, who is an assine, and you, an insider, are different!”

Me too, but what are you talking about? Come to think of it, I remembered that I had only eaten with Yuri once after entering university. We only ate together on the first day, and from the next day, I ate alone because Yuri ate with her other friends.

“Jim is… I’ll make tteokbokki!”

I came to my senses at the words of the demon king. Mawang was pressing the picture of tteokbokki on the touch panel of the ticket vending machine. He looked at it and agreed, trying not to find out what he was thinking.

“Tteokbokki, good.”

“You press too. I’m going to buy my luggage.”

“You live? Then we should do it with cheese pork cutlet!”

“Ah, then Jim is Cheese Tteokbokki!”

Like a child who came to the food court for the first time, the demon king manipulated the screen with an excited expression. She inserts her card and pays, and after a while, the food she ordered came out at the window next to the ticket vending machine. She found a place to sit across from one of the tables, each with her own food.

After going there and sitting down, the demon king smiled and looked around her.

“Wow, I never thought Jim would be dining with a friend like this. Thank you so much for making this possible for Jim.”

“Thank you. Come eat, okay?”

“Why, huh?”

I forgot to bring a spoon from the window. The pork cutlet came with a fork and knife, so it didn’t matter, but the king ordered tteokbokki, and they didn’t give utensils.

Seeing that, the demon king and I got up at the same time.

“I will bring it.”

“It’s okay, bring your luggage.”

“You bought it, I have to bring it. Sit down keep your seat.”

“Hmm… Got it.”

There was something unclear on his face, but the demon king sat down. I’ll be back soon, I said and went to get the spoon.

I made the mistake of forgetting my cutlery when I first came here. Like the demon king now, Yuri and I came to the student cafeteria feeling the realization that we had become college students. I remembered asking the seniors around me while riding the bar. But after that day, Yuri ate separately from me, and I also ate ramen or rice burgers for lunch in my own room.

With such gloomy thoughts, I tried to return to my seat with the tableware. However, I found that Gwadae was sitting in the seat next to the Demon King. Not only that, there was Yuri in the front seat of the hype, and that seat was right next to me.

I returned to my seat and handed the tableware to the demon king. It was only then that the hype noticed my existence and greeted me.

“Oh, Jiheon. Since when did you become friends with senior Sohee?”

I was thinking about what to say, but the demon king opened his mouth first.

“Didn’t I tell you! Let’s just say we became friends in a previous life!”

… This idiot

I sat down and replied with the same words as the reply I sent earlier.

“We met at the game. Hello Yuri.”

“Uh, hello.”

Yuri, who sat to my right, greeted me with a displeased expression. Yuri, who sat with ramen in front of her, looked at the king and the king while holding chopsticks. Even though her side was blowing, it seemed that she didn’t like her boyfriend sticking next to another woman.

Her glass boyfriend was her boyfriend, and her girlfriend didn’t even care about her and continued to talk to the demon king.

“It’s really difficult to digest training, but I think it’s because the senior likes the original version.”

“Hmm, is that so? Yum”

“I heard from your seniors that you only wear sweatpants, is that true?”

“There is also green, but yum”

“No, is it green?”

“There is also a black one. Yum. There is also a red one, yum. Also available in navy, yum.”

While Hwadae refused to eat his own food, Mawang ate tteokbokki whenever he said a word. It was funny to see him hitting the iron wall, so he asked the demon king.

“How many sweatpants do you have?”

“You mean Jim? I stopped counting after 10.”

“Is it that good?”

“Of course not! Aren’t you unaware of the greatness of a sweatsuit?”

Contrary to the exaggeration and times, the face of the demon king talking to me was full of life. Next to the demon king who told me about the greatness of training, Gwadae looked at me with a smiling face.

So what.

“Ha Jun-ah!”

As if Yuri wanted to do everything at this time, she called her by an exaggerated name. Then her hype made her amiable face and then looked at her. The two started talking to each other, and I started slicing the pork cutlet while listening to the devil’s nonsense.

If we were to classify this world into two categories, we could divide it into two types: whether it is for food or for food. The confrontation between the two factions does not end, and even though the orthodoxy that the vices are orthodox came out, the controversy is still a hot topic. Even when I ate pork cutlet, I thought it was divided into two parts. Green onions that are sliced ​​in advance and eaten all at once, or cut each time you eat. I was the former, and whenever I cut pork cutlet, I had a strong urge to take a bite. However, I endured it, imagining eating it all at once without any hassle.

The reason I say this is because the devil took a bite of my pork cutlet.

“Are you not going to eat it? Let Jim eat it, yum.”

That part was a piece that was soaked in sauce, and the moist batter was completed. The demon king casually picked up and ate such a part with chopsticks dipped in tteokbokki soup.

“Hey! Why are you eating that!”

“Didn’t you just say let’s share!”

“You have to tell me in advance! I’m saving it for later! I’ll eat yours too! Give it up!”

“Come on, let’s eat!”

The demon king held out his bowl of tteokbokki. I lifted my fork and ate the tteokbokki in the bowl, not the large chunks of cheese on the surface.

“What if I eat that! Is Genga the devil?”

“It’s a warrior!”

“Then I am the Demon King!”

Then he ate my pork cutlet again. It was also the piece with the most cheese attached to it.

“Hey!”

“Yum yum yum! Ah, since it’s a hero, I just want to meet you!”

“!”

I put my fork into the tteokbokki bowl again. What I was aiming for this time was pieces of fish cake. I continued to move the fork to take several shots instead of just one.

“Ah! Isn’t that cheating!”

“Where is the foul play!”

The demon king and I ate each other’s food, and it was Yuri who ended the fight.

“Do you two look very close?”

Hearing Yuri’s voice, the demon king and I stopped moving his hand. Only then did I notice that we were drawing attention.

My face heated up and I removed the fork from the tteokbokki bowl. On the other hand, the demon king laughed and ate another piece of my pork cutlet.

Seeing that, I tried to protest again, but Yuri talked to me and I couldn’t.

“Since when did you two become so close?”

“Uh?”

“We’ve been together since elementary school, but you didn’t say we knew each other. Sadly.”

Isn’t it different when you didn’t tell me you had a boyfriend? I barely held back the words and spat out another word.

“I don’t even know that this person goes here. I got it yesterday yesterday.”

“Oh, yes, Yuri.”

Suddenly, Hajun cut me off.

“Didn’t my professor ask you to come before class? Shouldn’t we go now?”

Yuri took out her own phone and checked it.

“Okay? I guess I still have time.”

“It’s good to go early. Let’s hurry.”

After getting up like that, I spoke to the demon king as if something came to my mind.

“Senior Sohee! I don’t think I have your number, could you give it to me?”

As she did, she held out her phone to the demon king.
