Chapter 1832 – [Second Dimension Restaurant – Saint and Creme Brûlée]

Once was a coincidence, twice was inevitable, and three times was fate… No, I suddenly get angry when you say fate, but whatever.

If you meet someone three times in your life without intending to, it is not a light relationship no matter how you think about it. Eden was initiated into spiritual power by Ms. Kim Ryu-hwa, and later, she was summoned and met as her warrior after she was reincarnated and became her saint, and for the third time, she met her as a guest at a two-dimensional restaurant.

Considering the standards for two-dimensional restaurants set by Phantom, it would be correct. I saw Eden before when she went to the other world to pick her up, but she didn’t talk about it in detail or say that she lost her memories when she was reincarnated.

“Today’s first and new guest is a saint. The world is smaller than I thought.”

“I too suddenly saw a split in space and wondered something… I never thought I would see you here again, hero. I’m so happy to see you.”

Chefs are people too. A chef’s job is to serve delicious dishes to guests, but sometimes, if a personally close person comes as a guest, they can make a fuss.

Of course, you shouldn’t neglect other guests because of that. Anyway, there are no other customers right now, so it’s okay.

“But where is this place?”

“This is my restaurant Elysium. Today is a day when I can eat with people from another dimension like the saint, so I think the saint was able to come visit.”

“Ah, you’re a good cook. Actually, I was just thinking of the dessert you gave me earlier…”

“I guess that’s why I was able to come here. You can only come to our restaurant if you think you’re hungry.”

If you think about it deeply, it probably isn’t like that.

Maybe that bitch Morian was behind, and that’s their main special ability… Was it a miracle? Anyway, it would all have been blown away. However, just because Eden spoke well, Nuadu, a relatively good god of struggle, would have taken his place.

Judging from the strength she possesses, it appears that she is still a saint, and there is no way such a saint would starve. Perhaps the reason she came to Elysium wasn’t because she was starving, but because she was mentally hungry?

“Hmm? Saint, but it seems like you’ve changed a lot since I saw you before? No, the god you serve has changed, so it’s natural that he’s changed, but apart from that, I feel like he’s become three times stronger?”

“Ah, the spirit god of the elves and the blacksmith god of the dwarves have returned to our world. At the same time, I am working as a co-saint of the three gods along with the god of struggle.”

“Wow, you’ve achieved success.”

“Unlike before, so that all races can be harmonized… Humans especially have a lot of problems, so I needed someone to manage it with a neutral attitude, so I took on that role.”

“Then hasn’t the work increased about three times?”

“That’s right…”

The saint spoke in a voice full of darkness, as if she were someone who worked at a small business, working overtime without breaks or holidays.

She is a saint of the three gods, so she will not be physically tired, but apart from that, mental fatigue is inevitable. So she came here feeling mentally hungry.

“Oh, you know this because you’ve seen it before. This is my dad. And this is Kana, an employee at our store.”

“It’s nice to meet you both… But I don’t think Kana is human?”

“Androids are like artificially created mechanical life forms. For some reason, they are working at our store.”

First, she guided the saint to her seat. She is friendly, but since I came as her guest, she has to take orders and serve her food.

After taking her seat, the saint took a closer look at her store and was impressed by her good atmosphere and clean interior. It reflected Eden’s tastes, and she even received various decorations as gifts, so her interior design wasn’t bad either.

“It’s a good store. Ah, I wonder if it’s okay to just order dessert if it’s a restaurant…”

“Oh, it’s okay. There are already customers who only eat sherbet, but whatever they eat, they are customers.”

“Thank you for saying that. Then, can you make the crème brûlée that we ate together before?”

“Oh, that? I guess you wanted to eat it?”

“Yes, there are times when I want to eat something sweet while working and handling things, and every time, I think of what the warrior made.”

“After working hard, you tend to crave sweets. Just wait a moment!!! I’ll make it for you right away!!!!”

Eden returned to her kitchen much more motivated. No, that doesn’t mean she neglects the guests she usually treats, but she still shows favoritism when it comes to close and dear acquaintances.

While Eden was busy cooking in her kitchen, my wife and I talked separately. The first thing she said was that the saint bowed her head…

“I’m very sorry to apologize now, but I’m truly sorry for summoning you based solely on our opinion. You probably have a family, so I can’t imagine how worried you must have been about the hero disappearing in such a way that it was almost like a kidnapping… What? I have nothing to say.”

“Well, it’s okay. In the end, if we’re to judge the culprit, it’s the Morian bitch.”

In a world where God grants these abilities, even if she is a saint, what authority does she have to help us?

As long as that Morarian bitch exists, even if she is a saint, she is just a subcontractor. That’s why it was difficult to hold her responsible.

No, if you think that Eden, who is beyond the dimension, is excellent at summoning evil spirits, and call him without asking for consent, then the person who summoned Morrigan after being told to summon a hero would be guilty. Even if he was reincarnated and lost his memories, he is someone Eden cares about, and it’s not like he can’t ignore him.

Well, if I did something like that without reflecting, that would be rude and annoying, but anyway.

While we were talking for a moment, Eden quickly cooked in the kitchen and brought out the creme brûlée we ordered. He spread custard cream on the bottom, sprinkled sugar on top, and melted it over fire to create a delicious brown layer.

“The creme brûlée you ordered has arrived!!!!”

“Ah, this is it!!!! This is what I wanted to eat!!!! The church tried to make it too, but it didn’t come out in this shape or anything!!!!”

“Actually, I use spirit fire or something like that to get a neat and delicious look like this. The taste is a bit different, too.”

If you make creme brûlée, you have no choice but to use fire to spread the caramel layer on top, and in modern times, you use a torch or something like that. However, in the end, the torch also uses gas, and as expected, fire control is problematic, so if you look closely, problems arise.

But for Eden, there is no such thing. By using spirit fire, you can make creme brûlée that cooks evenly, has a beautiful color without burning, and has a good taste without a faint gas smell.

You may not know if you eat roughly, but when it comes to cooking, perfection is something special. Why is it easy to raise a score of 50 to 80, but it is difficult to get a score of 80 to 100?

“Then enjoy it!!!!!”

The saint held up the small spoon she had put out for dessert. She then scrapes the spoon into the layer of hardened sugar caramel on top of the crème brûlée.

Drurrrrh!!!!

A sound like scratching something hard. Although it is a sound that can be heard in everyday life, it feels much more delicious because it is the sound of sugar scraping hardened candy. As if it were a musical instrument, the saint scratched the skin of the crème brûlée and enjoyed the sound for a while.

“Mmm, this sound. I wanted to hear the sound of a thick layer of sugar like this. It’s a really delicious sound, right?”

“That’s right. Cooking isn’t just about taste.”

Cooking is not just about taste, but about eating with all five senses. The decoration stimulates the sense of sight, the smell satisfies the sense of smell, and the crunchy texture satisfies the sense of hearing and touch.

The saintess spent some time playfully scraping the caramel layer, but then she began to taste it in earnest. Crispy!!! She does, and she breaks up the sugar layer with a dessert spoon and touches the custard cream that was underneath.

A yellow, delicious-looking custard cream. Then mix the cream with the broken caramel and eat it afterward. When you take a bite, a sweet taste that will make you worry about your blood sugar goes up your spine.

“Mmm, it’s just like this!!! It’s crunchy, and sweet with the cream’s soft and good flavor. I feel like the fatigue I’ve accumulated from working so far is melting away!!!!!!”

“It’s good for me if you enjoy it, saint. Please eat as much as you want.”

Because it was a dessert after all, the portion size was not that large, and I ate it quickly. In the first place, smaller portions of desserts are better.

No, does it taste the same as eating a small yogurt or eating a large amount of yogurt? Of course, the taste of the contents was the same, but the satisfaction and taste of eating tantalizingly and eating to the fullest were different.

So the creme brûlée made by Eden, who has relatively large hands and serves quite a lot, is served in a relatively small cup. If more was needed, there was no reason to make it in large quantities at once, even if it was fed.

“Then can you give me another one? I haven’t had it in a while, so I’m really craving it!!!!!”

“Yes, then I will make it right away!!!!!”

No matter how little you eat, you don’t end up eating just one thing you’ve been wanting to eat for a while. And didn’t women originally say that they had a separate stomach for dessert?

I just hope that at least today I can eat well and not think about my blood sugar levels. It looks like you’re having a hard time, but it’s good to have at least one pleasure in life while working like that.

By the time Eden went in to make the next creme brûlée, the next customer had entered Elysium. Someone said it was an adventurer’s party.

As usual, the four of them entered the store and greeted each other with happy expressions. Two warrior brothers, an elf archer, and a wizard girl… But what was a little different was that the elf archer’s gaze as he entered the store was strangely directed towards the saint.

“We’re here!!!! Oh, it looks like another customer came first. I thought we were the first customers today.”

“It’s your first time here today, but you’re also an acquaintance of mine. Anyway, I’ll show you to your seat… Can I order the stew you had before?”

“Yes, please do that!!!!”

Even though the four people were guided to their seats, the elf archer’s gaze was still directed towards the saint. Just then, Eden brings out her newly made creme brûlée again and looks at her closely as she eats her dessert with a bright expression.

The wizard lady asked her during her adventurer party if not only I but others had noticed it as well.

“Mirva, what’s wrong with him?”

“So. I think I was staring at you a while ago.”

“Ah… It’s nothing. I just seemed a little worried.”

“What bothers you that you look at it like that?”

“It’s not different, but it feels similar to the presence of a spirit. It’s similar, but in a good way, it’s more than that. It’s the spirit’s affinity that goes beyond the level of a simple elf, so I became interested in it without realizing it.”

The saintess, who was in the middle of eating creme brûlée, smiled and responded to the elf archer’s thoughts. This is because it is not a very large store and the seating area is relatively close, so it is enough to hear the conversation.

“As a saint in our world, I serve three gods. And one of them is the spirit god, the creator of the elves. I guess they feel that way because they are the same elves even though they live in different worlds.”

“Um, a spirit god?! Are you saying you’re a saint who serves a spirit god?!”

“Saint?! No, you really are a saint?”

I haven’t heard it in detail, but in the world of adventurers, there are gods, so there are probably saints as well. If you suddenly hear that the person eating dessert next to you is a saint, it’s not surprising if you get a saint reality shock.

If you are a relatively ordinary adventurer and the person in power is next to you, even if it is someone from another world…

“I never thought such a precious person would come. I’m sorry, I couldn’t even greet you properly…”

“No, I’m from another world. Moreover, I also received help from a warrior from another world, so I can’t ignore people from another world, even if it’s because of him.”

“Are you a hero?”

“Didn’t you know? The person cooking in the kitchen is a warrior who once defeated the demon king of our world.”

“Huh…”

Thanks to this, the adventurer party’s perspective on Eden strangely changed. With the eyes of a great cook, I see a warrior who defeated a demon lord in the past.

It seems like cultures at similar levels are easy to understand because they are similar. Thanks to this, they seem to be having a fun time chatting with each other and sharing stew and creme brûlée.

No matter how much a saint came to eat dessert, she still needs to eat if possible. Because she is a saint, her divine power allows her to maintain her health, but that doesn’t mean she only likes to eat sweets.

Afterward, the adventurer party that came later got up from their seats. I think she might be too aesthetic for a saint, but she wasn’t around that many people, and she spent some time chatting with Eden, so she didn’t really have anything to say about it for at least the time she ate.

“Then let’s go first!!!! I’ll see you next time, Saint!!!!”

“I look forward to seeing you next time.”

“Goodbye. Please take care of yourself.”

Just like that, the adventurer party left, and the only thing left was the saint. Other guests will come later today… But right now it’s free time.

The saintess said with a smile as she thought of the returning adventurer party. Just as she was a good person to us, it seems that we saw her as a good person as well.

“They were good people.”

“Yes, they are all good people. Thanks to that, we have never had a problem with a customer at the store.”

“Now that I think about it, I heard there was a customer here who only ate dessert, that is, sherbet. It seems like he’s similar to me, right?”

“Uh, that’s…”

It’s the saint’s first visit to our restaurant, but she’s the only one who’s ever had dessert here and not a meal.

However, in some ways, that person is the exact opposite of the saint… Ah, I don’t know if the timing is good or bad, but it seems like that person is coming to visit!!!!!!

[Oh, delicious ice cream again today… Hmm?]

When the wizard Kristoff, an undead lich with blue natural flowers fluttering from her eyes, entered her shop, he came face to face with a saintess overflowing with the sacred power of the three gods and froze upon seeing each other.

And the response is immediate. One side was shocked, and the other side reacted violently and got up from their seats. For your information, the one who got up was the saint.

[Saint?! Why is she a saint?! Oh, my!!!!!!]

“Evil spirit!!!! Tear and kill!!!!!!”

That saintess over there was definitely influenced by Eden, right?! Huh? Huh?!?!
