Chapter 1178 – [The Changing World]

The pleasant meal continued. Pasta is followed by a second, main dish.

Oh, of course, the previous pasta was also one of the main dishes. Primo means first and secondo means second, so both belong to the main dish. It’s just that the secondo was a meat or fish dish, which we thought was more like a main dish.

And in this part, Roberto came out directly driving the serving cart.

On top of the cart were some ingredients along with the meat to be cooked. However, what was a little strange was that the meat was raw, but there were no tools to grill it.

“Secondo Fiato is Bistecca alla Fiorentina”

“It looks like you want to cook right in front of me, right?”

“Yes, but it is also the pride of our hotel.”

The parts of meat are T-bone and Porterhouse, which are one of the parts that come to mind when thinking of cartoon meat. If you watch Tom and Jerry, it’s the kind of place you’ve seen at least once.

Moreover, the size is also very satisfactory. In particular, it was such a large piece of meat that Eden looked at the meat with twinkling eyes. It seems to have matured well, so no matter how you eat it, it will be delicious as long as it doesn’t burn.

Bistecca alla Fiorentina is an Italian Florentine dish. As you can see by looking at that meat, it looks just like steak, but the cooking method is a bit unique.

“Then let’s begin”

Roaring!!!!

Soon after, he started cooking. He had no tools to start a fire with, but he made a fire out of thin air.

I already knew from Antonio, but he is a psychic. However, judging from the way he uses his abilities, he seems to have been a fireman, pyrokinesis.

And he set the meat on fire. Despite the fact that there is nothing specifically applied, the fire burns the meat vigorously.

“Ohhh!!!”

Seeing him cook with this ability, Eden reacted with wonder. Although it looks like it’s just burning meat on the outside, it’s a skill that requires more delicate skill control than you think. Even if Eden tries to imitate it, it will be harder than I thought.

Especially if it’s not just cooked, but bistecca alla fiorentina.

In fact, the name Bistecca alla Fiorentina means Florentine Beef Steak. In the end, it means that there is not much difference from steak. However, the way it is grilled is unique. The outside is cooked to a crispy texture and the inside is rare.

If the inside is cooked more than rare, it is a failure, and even that should not be warm or cold inside. The conditions are tricky, so it’s harder to learn than you think.

He was doing it with this ability. Originally, it should be grilled over charcoal, but he does it with his own ability.

Then, after a while, he put a lid on the tray to cut off the oxygen and put out the fire. And when I opened the lid again, the smell of cooked meat spread like a bomb.

It’s a very alluring scent. It’s a pure meat scent without anything added, but it’s so primitive that it’s all the more appealing.

And Roberto cut the meat and sliced ​​the finished dish. Unlike the well-cooked surface, the bright red flesh is visible, and a little salt and pepper are sprinkled on top of the sliced ​​meat.

“It’s done. Then enjoy a delicious meal.”

After cooking, he withdrew. Eden cares, but he knows when to back off. The kitchen isn’t right in front of you, and if the cook is right next to you, you’ll be worried about eating.

The thick meat, the enticing smell, and the eye-pleasing rare fillet. No matter who it is, the fork heads.

The meat that I ate without garnish had almost no burnt taste, unlike meat that was cooked well. And when you chew the meat, the gravy that was trapped in the well-cooked exterior explodes! And burst out

Originally, olive oil was also sprinkled here, but I think I know why only salt and pepper were sprinkled. Because the meat was so good, it was delicious enough on its own.

“Umm, it’s delicious. The meat has a rich flavor and is juicy. The meat is good, but the grilling technique is also good.”

“……But if I eat all of this, I don’t think I’ll be able to climb on the scale for a while.”

“It’s okay, sister, if you have leftovers, I’ll eat them all”

Good meat, good wine there. The fantastic combination was so awesome that I could eat it indefinitely. There were four chunks of meat weighing more than 1 kilo each, but it took an instant to eat them.

Oh, of course Eden ate two by himself. Ji-hee left a lot, and I also had a little bit of Eden to eat more.

It reminds me of the last time I went to Yellowstone National Park. At that time, Eden also ate steak by the kilo.

Eden, who ate every single drop of gravy, looked at her bowl with regret. Well, if it’s not enough, just ask for more.

Separately, we added a few more main dishes, not dessert. Even so, it was not enough for Eden to eat, but he was still able to fill his stomach to some extent.

And finally dessert. Panna cotta with blueberry jam came out. It’s like ivory-colored fresh cream pudding, and it’s delicious to eat as it is, but it’s sweet and satisfying as a dessert when eaten with jam.

“Panna cotta…Purple…Purple Haze without shame…Ugh, the hair!!!”

“I thought that drip would come out. Since it’s the same Italy, the 5-part drip is exciting.”

It was delicious enough for me to eat, and I like it because the food is so good that it gives off an Italian feeling. It was a worthwhile meal on the trip.

After the meal, we drink wine to help digestion and talk for a while. It’s because it’s still too early to go to sleep.

Besides, the view outside the restaurant is pretty cool. While watching it, enjoy the feeling of the first day of the trip.

“Come to think of it, Dad. I was quite impressed with Roberto’s ability to cook earlier.”

“So?”

“Daddy cooks with his skills too, right?”

“I don’t do it at the store. There’s no need to do it. What can I say, Dad is just careful not to use this ability when cooking.”

“Come to think of it, I’ve never seen a man use his powers in a store.”

Of course, wherever possible. I also use it sometimes, but I still like to make it with my own hands.

Besides, thanks to my sensory abilities, I can cook delicious dishes without using my abilities. It would be more convenient to use this ability, but that’s it.

Maybe I am a person who thinks that cooking should be made with sincerity and time, so it may be that I do not use my ability to cook. Because making it with my own hands and making it through my ability feel different.

“I can use ice now. Wouldn’t it be fun to use it for cooking?”

“If you like it, you should do it. Dad is dad and Eden is Eden. Just because Dad says this, Eden doesn’t have to follow you. Everyone’s cooking style is different depending on their personality.”

For example, while I am good at making soup or cooking that takes time, Phantom is good at cooking with fire. Although they are close to the pinnacle of cooking, the fields are different.

Same with Eden. You don’t have to get hung up on me. It’s good to push yourself into a field that feels fun and interesting. Unless you have a lot of talent, you have the will to do what you like and you can do it well.

“………..”

“Huh? What’s the matter, Jihee?”

“No, when I see Eden talking to Eden, he seems very kind. Besides, rather than forcing something, it’s a little easier to encourage the child to do what he wants. .”

Oh!!! Land mine!!! It’s a mine!!! Medic!!! Do your duty!!!!

It was simply a conversation between Eden and the family, but from Ji-hee’s point of view, it seemed to be a mine. If you see the ideal father-daughter relationship right in front of Hagisa’s eyes, you can’t help but compare yourself.

I can’t blow away the good atmosphere and mood, so I added dessert to somehow change my mood. After ordering and eating delicious tiramisu, the bad memories from just before disappear quickly.

We finish well and go back to the hotel room. We took a break during the day, but it’s better to sleep now if we want to go out tomorrow, so we ended the day like that.

The first day of our trip in Italy passes by.

*        *    *

The next day we got up early in the morning and got ready to go out. It’s a trip, so I don’t know if it’s okay to go leisurely, but today I have a separate appointment.

Better to do the work first. That way, you can spend the rest of your vacation comfortably.

“I’m going to see the Pope!!!!”

“If a Christian hears it, he will be envious.”

“No, haven’t you seen Korea? There are people who say that the Pope is a heretic, but not all Christians like the Pope.”

“These people are not Christians, but pastors or pseudo-believers who believe in such religions, so of course there is an exception.”

Work or Eden goes to visit the Vatican for educational matters. Well, I’m going to go sightseeing together and that’s it, but the main thing is work anyway.

We have two main things to do.

One is to tell a story about the Incurable Child Treatment Foundation. This can be done by Eve after she has been delegated authority from Zion and Keter. In the end, on the surface, Zion will become one thing.

The other is that Eden learns how to strengthen the body that Vatican exorcists are learning. Spiritual power is less efficient in strengthening the body than inner energy, so if Eden learns it, he can become stronger.

I’m still strong, but I need to get stronger. Enough to reach Rod and live with her mom and dad without worrying about their lifespan.

“Ji, are you really going to see the Pope?!”

“If it’s burdensome, go together and go sightseeing separately… Oh, that’s no good. Let’s just go together.”

“Why?”

“Unexpectedly, there are a lot of pickpockets there. I think it’s because there are a lot of tourists, but if you go alone, you’re an Asian woman, so you’ll get a lot of flies. Besides, you’re pretty, Ji-hee, and you don’t speak Italian well… I’d rather just go with you.”

“……. Come to think of it, that’s it.”

“Don’t feel too pressured. Think of meeting a celebrity. Like a celebrity.”

“Isn’t the Pope a celebrity?!”

We’ve already told you the news, so someone else will come. You just have to wait until then.

Around the time I ate breakfast, digested it slowly, and waited for news, the person I had been waiting for came. The person from the Vatican City drove the car to pick us up, so we didn’t need to bring anything else, we just had to go.

Another country inside Italy, but it doesn’t have an entry procedure. It seems like there will be a lot of people these days because of the aftermath of the contest for people with special abilities, but that’s not our concern.

Soon after, we get in the car and head to Vatican City. The exact destination is the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City. In short, it is the official residence of the Pope.

Vatican City is so close that you can reach it by crossing a river from Rome, so it didn’t take long to get there. If you look at it, you can see that there are a lot of tourists waiting to visit the works or facilities in the crowded and scorching sun.

“Wow, that’s a lot of people.”

“Because it’s a famous tourist destination. The entire Vatican is registered as a UNESCO cultural heritage.”

“Really?”

“Each cathedral you see as you pass by has something to see. Do you know that it is the Pieta of Michelangelo’s work? Why is it that the Virgin Mary is a statue holding Jesus?”

“Oh, I know. I think I’ve seen it in a picture somewhere.”

“It’s on display in St. Peter’s Cathedral next to the Apostolic Palace, where we’re going now. You can see it through the bulletproof glass when you go in.”

“No, why is there such a thing as bulletproof glass?”

“Because of fools trying to destroy cultural heritage”

“Ah”

In the first playthrough, maybe because my wife is Italian, I heard a lot of things, so I had a lot to tell. Famous tourist attractions, cultural heritage, stories related to them, and so on. The material is full and overflowing.

Well, that was later and while we were talking, she arrived at her destination. Although it is said to be an official residence, the Sado Palace with more than 1000 rooms of this kind felt grandeur like a museum or something.

After receiving the guidance, we went inside… And soon we were able to meet the Pope.

An elderly man with a benevolent impression greets you. Since it is not an official occasion, the priestly robe embroidered with gold thread or anything like that, but the white priestly robe that only the pope can wear, catches his eye.

He greets us with a smile and offers tea.

“Welcome. You must be thirsty from coming. How about a cup of tea?”

“I’ll be grateful”

Did you say that the pope this time is easygoing? So, the quality of the car was good, but it was not expensive. However, the taste itself was fine.

The other person is a leader of a country and a world-wide influential pope, despite his small name. Thanks to this, Ji-hee was so stiff that she couldn’t properly drink the cup of tea that was set for her and was nervous.

That’s what you can do to release it gradually. Eden and Eve weren’t nervous or anything like that. Rather, Eden eats snacks while snacking on tea.

“Thank you, Pope, for making this a place for us today.”

“No. It’s such an important position, so I have to make time to come out without it. Besides, I owe a lot to Mr. Keter.”

He took out a bunch of letters from his arms. I don’t know what kind of letter it is, but the writing is crooked and I feel like it was written by a child.

“This is a letter sent to me by children who have overcome incurable diseases with Mr. Keter’s elixir.”

“Did the Pope read it himself?”

“Jesus also told us not to forbid the children to come. Even if we were healed, we couldn’t meet in person because we had to recover, but we were able to communicate their feelings through letters like this. Oh, would you like to read it?”

“I think it would be better for Keter to read it, not me. Let’s promise next time.”

From my point of view, he is a great religious person. If all the religious people in the world were at least half like him, the world would be so much better.

In particular, why don’t Korean Christians imitate them? Ah, is it because the pope is also an idiot who says that he is a heretic?

“I came to tell Keter about the matter. He said he would like to create a separate foundation to help incurable children in the future.”

“Oh, that’s good news”

“However, I would like to leave the administration to the Vatican, even if it involves providing goods and money. It’s embarrassing that we, Keter, have only recently appeared in the world, so even if they look solid, their reliability is hard to believe… Your greed is unbelievable, isn’t it?”

“I understand”

It wasn’t that we just wanted to entrust the work to this side. Keter’s money and personal connections earned through the Garden of Eden are enormous, but if you ask him if he can believe it, he doesn’t.

What would you do if you were affiliated with a hospital, and the hospital stole some of the elixir? Even if a chaebol asks for a billion dollars, there will surely be people who will not refuse.

Of course, the Vatican cannot believe everything either. Because this is also an organization where a large number of humans have gathered. But at least you can trust it more than others. First and foremost, the head of the Pope is like this, and if you look at the personality of the Vatican team that participated in the competition, it is a hundred times better than a person you don’t know.

“If you entrust it to us, we will try to run the foundation as cleanly as possible. If we entrust it to someone we trust, there will be less room for problems.”

“If you need anything, just tell us. We can support anything other than human resources.”

“That’s good.”

The work story ended pretty well. It’s just a verbal promise, but if you don’t keep your promise in the first place, you’ll lose money.

Eden was next. Eve secretly uploaded Eden’s work as a story subject to luck.

“It might sound a bit snobbish when I say that price, but… I would like you to teach my child the psychic powers used by the Vatican team.”

“Are you talking about psychic powers?”

“Yes, my child is also a person with psychic powers like them. In addition, he is also a disciple of the most outstanding psychic in Korea.”

“Oh oh”

The Pope gave Eden his gaze. Eden, who was in the middle of eating snacks, responded to his interest with a smile.

Even Eden’s appearance didn’t show a big reaction. It’s not that he’s not interested, it’s that he’s not shaken because he has deep mental discipline. Perhaps because of that, there was no delusion in his eyes as he looked at Eden.

“If it’s something like a vision, you don’t have to tell us. We also need it for our children’s growth, but that doesn’t mean we covet other people’s visions.”

“No, it’s okay. Before the person with this ability was revealed to the world, it was kept secret because of a tacit promise, but there is no need to hide it even after it is revealed to the world. However, they say it’s quite hard, so I’m worried if the child can handle it.”

“I think it’s better to think about that after receiving the teaching. My child is stronger than we, the parents, think.”

“In that case. Oh, but that’s not possible right now. The priests who competed in the competition are no longer in the Vatican.”

“Where are you out?”

“Yes, because of my job duties. But it’s something I do every year and it’s not that difficult, so I’ll be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

At that moment, I felt an ominous tinge.

The Pope said it was no big deal, and I could tell that it was the truth, but originally human truth and lies are determined by what he believes.

Even if it’s my strength, it’s actually a lie, but if the opponent believes it’s the truth, I can’t figure it out. Even now, I have grasped the conflicting opinions of his words and my intuition.

I’m on a trip, but I have an ominous feeling that I’m going to get into trouble.
