Chapter 1960 – [Kimjang-Cheol Comes to the Zombie Apocalypse World as Well]
Although my father-in-law became a family member again and Eden learned how to use ether, our daily lives, or rather our vacations, did not change that much.
In that part of the world, vacation is only about a month, but here, thanks to my mother-in-law’s help as an administrator, my vacation time has increased several times. Thanks to you, I was able to spend some time and have fun.
“Sister Mary!!! Look at this!!!! Space-time manipulation!!!!”
“Time has been handled well for a long time, but space is still a bit immature. You should come to our school sometime and see how we develop and research space technology.”
“Oh… Are you saying I should be a graduate student?”
“You got caught?”
“Kiyayaaaaahhh? In another way, I hate hanging!!!! It reminds me of the time before I graduated from college when a professor bought me a meal and asked me if I wanted to go to graduate school!!!!”
First, if you leave everything else aside, Eden is a student that every professor would covet just by looking at her brains… And if Eden is at this level, I think it will be easy for her to get the title of doctorate.
Wouldn’t it be okay to just organize a few theories related to this ability and submit a thesis? Even the youngest doctorate can do that.
Eden learned how to use ether from his father-in-law, and somewhat surprisingly, the father-in-law learned her magic from Mary. If you think about it, her father-in-law was very interested in this ability, so it is not surprising that she learned magic from Mary, a magic master.
“I never thought the day would come when I would teach Hanon magic…”
“I was a former Hanon. If it had been Hanon, I wouldn’t have been able to learn it in the first place. Plus, I have a professional tutor to learn both martial arts and your magic from my son-in-law, so it’s better to learn while you can.”
“Thank you for your high evaluation.”
“But… Are you also my son-in-law’s lover?”
“It’s planned.”
“Who’s planning?!”
“I wonder why my son-in-law is so popular even though his appearance is ordinary… Oh, is it because he’s good at cooking? I can understand that.”
Anyway, the father-in-law learned martial arts and magic. Perhaps because I was a former Hanon, I learned it quickly, so I quickly passed the introductory course and was labeled as a beginner. Ah, but he learned magic better than martial arts.
Maybe it’s because ether and magic are more similar. Of course, it’s not that I can’t learn martial arts, but it’s been a while since I learned it, so I’ve reached the level of a second-rate martial artist who can strengthen his body with internal martial arts.
Of course, it wasn’t just simple martial arts learning. This was possible because Kether provided the elixir, so I drank the elixir full of spirituality and gained enough stamina.
[It is not good to eat too much, but it is still effective up to a certain level. Oh, and it has effects such as immortality, improved physical strength, increased stamina, etc.]
“… Isn’t it somewhat biased to one side?”
[I think I need it. Eat it. I tried to feed it to him too, but since it was a load, it didn’t have much of an effect.]
“Rod doesn’t work well with medicine or poison… Ah, but the elixir is effective in its own way. I’ll also give you a bottle of elixir, so you can drink it.”
“No, isn’t that the best medicine of the transcendental people who need the blood of the Absolute?! Where did it come from?!”
“Because my acquaintance is an absolute ruler. I happened to get it.”
Let’s set aside the fact that Phantom and Gray gave it to him because he felt sorry for him because he was suffering from Korma. Because I don’t want to reveal to my father-in-law that I’m scared of the night.
No, I used to get along well with Shion, but now there are other kids in Korma… Oh, of course, Korma plays a big role.
I learned about this ability from Nana and Mary, but other than that, my father-in-law talked with Lulu in private time. She is not different, she is interested in a new level of species that was not there before.
“I heard that you are a new dimension species called Bloodier. But what do you do?”
“Hmm, garbage collector? When Hanon creates the universe, we eat things we don’t need. We can change what we eat with our will or power. In fact, we were originally beings filled with only hatred and anger… Well, what happened? “Looking at it.”
“It seems like there are a lot of stories. It seems like a lot has changed while I was away.”
“I wonder how late the update was. Oh, did you know that two postnatal absolutes were born?”
“The Absolute?! Could it be that he became the Absolute in a mortal body?!”
“And they are both sons of the Absolute Creator. The raw material for the elixir you drank was made from their blood.”
“Oh my god…”
For my father-in-law, the current generation seems like a big culture shock. There are a lot of things that have changed since then.
If you were to tell a story now to someone from 20 years ago, they would be astonished, but how could it be so shocking to your father-in-law, who is no different from an ancient person? For a while, my father-in-law went through an adjustment period.
“Grandpa, I cooked some grilled meat. Would you like some?”
“Uh… Eden. I don’t know if I’m mistaken, but I think they’re telling you to eat something at least once every two hours, right?”
“Grandpa needs to eat!!! What is this, these skinny arms!!!! All that’s left is the bone!!!!!”
“I’m not that skinny!!!!”
“Still, once you learn this ability, you have to eat it. Whether you are a wizard or a warrior, you have to eat well and train yourself to grow.”
“I can’t deny that, but I think feeding it once every two hours is a bit excessive.”
“For reference, I calculated the calories my grandfather consumed and am I feeding him small amounts several times. Considering training and such, it is an appropriate level.”
“My granddaughter has everything planned.”
“Oh, Grandpa. When did you see that work?”
“Shion recommended it… Anyway.”
It seems like your father-in-law is having a good time here. Then it’s good for us.
While we spend time like that, another week passes. Oh, of course, the time in this dimension is a little longer, but still, one more week has passed, and it is time for the second dimension restaurant to open.
Last time, it originally opened on Saturday and was supposed to open again on Sunday, but something happened with my father-in-law, so I couldn’t attend, but this time, it’s definitely a two-dimensional restaurant. I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of guests will come today.
“There are some customers who will come only this time… Well, maybe because the number of customers has increased, it varies each time. If you are lucky, you may even see customers who are visiting for the first time today.”
“It’s my first time visiting. I’m looking forward to that.”
“Oh, considering there are two people with sensory abilities doing this, is today’s first customer a new one!!!!!”
And just like our intuition, the first customer of today’s Two Dimensional Restaurant was a new customer visiting for the first time.
Quite grandiose… What should I say, like a typical medieval aristocrat? A middle-aged man dressed like that cautiously entered the store and looked around. First, I go out and greet such guests.
“Welcome. This is the other-dimensional restaurant Elysium.”
“Another-dimensional restaurant? Elysium? Wait, are you saying this is a restaurant?”
“Yes, I guess it’s your first time visiting, so please take a seat first. Anyone who is hungry can eat here. So, take it easy and order.”
“A strange gap appeared out of nowhere, so I visited it, but it’s a restaurant… No, well, it’s good. For this bistro baron, who is known as a gourmet aristocrat, new and delicious dishes are an offer he can’t refuse!!!!”
Seeing that he didn’t really question the fact that the language was communicated even though it was different and showed interest in eating, it seemed like he was focused on that aspect.
First, I guide him to a seat and make him sit down. As soon as he sits down, his eyes light up as he looks at other things on the table, such as basic seasonings such as salt, sugar, and pepper.
“No, is this salt? And isn’t it sugar!? Salt and sugar that taste so white and clean!!! This scent is pepper!!!! How on earth is pepper with this strong scent!!!!!”
“This is a seasoning that you can use to your heart’s content for the dish you are serving. There are some that go well with each dish, so I can’t tell you to just use them, but if you tell me what dish you want to eat, I will serve it.”
“Hmm, I guess I got a little excited… Ah, I’m late in introducing myself. My name is Cuisine de Bistro. Feel free to call me Baron Bistro.”
“Nice to meet you, Baron Bistro. However, you seem to be very interested in spices and seasonings. If it’s okay, would you like me to place a separate order for those dishes?”
“A dish with a lot of spices? Wouldn’t that be expensive?”
“This is a two-dimensional restaurant. They allow customers to eat as much salt and pepper as they want. So, I am confident that at least there will be no shortage.”
“Hmm… Then, please cook it like that. Ah, I hope it’s preferably a meat dish.”
“I understand.”
Eventually, I took the order and delivered it to Eden. Although it’s not a dish on the menu, I vaguely remember something, and Eden takes out the ingredients and prepares them.
“Meat dish with a lot of spices? Curry is good, but meat isn’t the main focus… Should I try pepper steak first?”
“That sounds delicious.”
Pepper steak, or state au poivre.
As a French dish, it was not simply a steak sprinkled with pepper, but a steak studded with peppercorns. Thanks to French cuisine, one of the countries of cuisine, the taste is obvious without even mentioning it.
Originally, when spices were scarce, it was common sense to add too much sugar or pepper to the point where it often tasted terrible, but in the end, cooking is not about luxury, it’s about taste. Even if you are extravagant, you have to do it in a way that is delicious, or it is just a performance.
Anyway, Eden started cooking right away. Take out black, red, green, and various colored peppers, pound them whole, and crush them slightly. Then, prepare the meat and press it firmly as if you were pounding peppers into both sides of the meat.
The flavor of pepper seeps into the meat… Since it is crushed pepper, the flavor comes through when grilled.
Then cook the meat in a pan with melted butter. As the scent of pepper and meat combine, a pungent and fragrant smell that cannot be described begins to emerge.
“Wow, the smell of meat and pepper mixed together is nice.”
“That’s right. It tastes amazing even if you just eat it.”
“Ah, it’s better to add sauce too.”
After the meat is cooked, cream is added to the oil, pepper, and butter to create a light brown sauce. Since the meat was a tenderloin with relatively little fat, the sauce made up for the lack of oily taste.
Since the oil and butter used to cook the meat were used in the first place, there is no need to wait for harmony. Eden poured sauce over the steak and added garnishes such as some vegetables and mashed potatoes to complete the dish. And I serve that dish to the guests.
“You’ve been waiting a long time. This is pepper steak.”
“Pepper steak? No, this one has grains stuck in the meat…!!!!”
“This is a variety of colored peppers. We only use the highest quality peppers, so please enjoy the flavor to your heart’s content.”
“Ohhh!!!!!! There is such an extravagant dish!!!! And not only is it not just extravagant, but the scent is also wonderful without being overpowering! What a taste…”
Soon he went to eat. A very tender tenderloin steak went into his mouth with peppercorns stuck on the front and back. And when you chew it, the flavor of the meat and the scent of pepper burst out violently.
Still, it is a feast of provocative things. It’s rather strange if you mix delicious things like meat, pepper, dairy products, etc. Well and it tastes bad.
Even if you think about other things, if a steak grilled with butter and pepper doesn’t taste good, it’s at a level where you should give up on cooking. However, if it is made by someone who is good at cooking, the score goes up without limit.
“Awesome, awesome. Awesome, truly amazing. Has there ever been such a taste in the world? The meat melts as gently as snow on your hands, and the scent of pepper pierces your nose like a sharp knight’s lance, but it’s not unpleasant. Butter and cream. The flavor passes by smoothly, like the harvest of a beloved woman, adding to the taste…”
“I’m just grateful that you said that. We also feel rewarded for making it.”
“It’s a really amazing dish. They said it was an otherworldly restaurant, and it was a worthy place. Oh, I’d like to thank the chef who made this dish. Can you call me over?”
“Well… There aren’t many customers right now. Please wait a moment.”
And I called Eden from the kitchen. When Baron Bistro saw Eden dressed as a chef but still showing off her body and appearance, he froze as if he had seen Medusa and did not even move until Eden spoke to him.
Even if you come to your senses, responding properly is another matter… Ah, for someone Eden saw for the first time, it’s worth it. Because she is such a pretty child. It’s okay.
“Did you enjoy your meal?”
“Three, oh my God…”
“Guest?”
“Oh, I never thought I’d meet the goddess of beauty in my life. No, I guess it’s because she’s such a beautiful person that I was able to make such a dish. I just express my admiration.”
“Anyway, it’s good for me that you enjoyed it. I’m grateful if the guests enjoy it.”
“I never thought there would be mercy. Today’s meeting must have been guided by the God of the Sky.”
No, it’s leader and Nabal, and at best, I think it’s just the absolute destiny of fate rather than a god there.
… Oh, you never know. Because the power of numerous absolutes is involved in operating a two-dimensional restaurant, even the absolutes of destiny cannot easily use their hands. Of course, I can’t say that I couldn’t do it at all, but it was difficult to say that the absolute fate of fate had a hand in the situation that happened when my father-in-law visited just before.
The work of a craftsman is absolute fate. Even if you can be sure that you have a hand in it, it is not the work of a bistro baron. There is no reason for that.
“But what can I pay for a dish like this? I have to pay more than I received, so can I pay for it with a simple gold coin?”
“Of course. Depending on the situation, there are some customers who pay extra money. Oh, but apart from that, are there any special products at the Baron’s estate?”
“Well, nothing is that valuable. At best, the only things we have are honey collected from between rocks, and a poisonous plant called saffron…”
“Bring everything.”
“Huh? What now…”
“Bring everything you have!!!!!!!!!!”
Eden shouted with fire in her eyes.
No, is it a reishi where wild honey and saffron grow? Isn’t that shit?
Of course, it can be produced in Horizon or Cherubim, but natural production is different. Even if farmed food is better, aren’t there sometimes people who only pursue natural products? But is it a reishi that produces natural wild roses and saffron?
Let’s do something together with me!!!!!
