Chapter 1994 – [Death Scandal]

Even though Cheonma and I didn’t particularly propose or talk about marriage, we started living on the island like a married couple on a honeymoon.

First, I did wood. There was a heating system, so it wasn’t a problem, but I thought it would be nice to have a bonfire or something like that. You can also eat things like roasted sweet potatoes there.

“I don’t have any tools, but it doesn’t matter, right?”

“Even without that, you can still get enough wood.”

Cutting down trees? If you cut it with strong energy, it cuts like tofu.

If you burn raw wood, it will produce smoke? You just have to dry it with Sammaejinhwa beforehand.

By cutting down a couple of trees, trimming them, and stacking firewood, we had firewood for several bonfires. I may have done a lot at once, but it’s okay because there’s no harm in having too much.

Then, take your fishing rod and go out to the fishing spot you have seen to catch some fish. At the same time, he makes a fishing bet with Cheonma.

“Shall we make a bet on who catches more?”

“It’s my first time fishing… Well, that’s good. But what should we bet on?”

“Just grant one wish? I think it’ll be okay if it’s something like that.”

“Hmm, Bon, or are you saying this after thinking about what I want to say?”

“Have you never thought of the opposite?”

“They’re the same. It’s good, there’s no need to worry about it later.”

Then Cheonma and I started a fishing competition. It’s my first time fishing, and compared to him, I have quite a bit of fishing experience… But apart from that, fishing is about catching living things, so if I don’t have an affinity like Eden or Keter, I’m just an ordinary angler.

We don’t do trivial things like use each other’s inner strength, will, or other abilities. It was a fishing competition purely based on fishing techniques.

I spend about two hours like that fishing. And also a little story. On the one hand, fishing is a race against time, so there was no need to be impatient.

“What should I do if I catch a fish? It’s good to grill it, but spicy stew is also delicious. Oh, should I eat the raw fish and make spicy stew with the leftover fish?”

“I haven’t caught a single fish yet, so are we already talking about eating it?”

“What do you think? I’m bored, so I should at least talk about this.”

“It’s better than staying still, but… Hmm?”

Unexpectedly, the first message to come was from Cheonma. When I lifted the fishing rod, I saw a rockfish the size of my palm fluttering at the end of the fishing rod.

“Oh, it’s rockfish. It’s delicious no matter what you eat.”

“Even though it’s small?”

“Large fish tend to be delicious, but that doesn’t mean small fish aren’t delicious. I guess this is the rockfish spot.”

As if my prediction was correct, I was soon able to catch several rockfish. Even though they are small, they are lively, so they taste good and are quite fun.

Then, around lunchtime, we decided to settle the account of our fishing. In addition to rockfish, I caught a few other fish, but rockfish was still the most abundant.

The number of fish caught was 6 for me and 8 for Cheonma.

Perhaps it was beginner’s luck, but Cheonma won the fishing bet anyway. The Heavenly Demon looked down at the bucket with fish swimming in it and smiled with satisfaction.

“Well, Bon, no, I won.”

“Are you going to tell me your wish now?”

“… No, I’ll tell you later.”

“You’re not asking for a strange wish, are you?”

“What do you mean by strange wish?”

“Well… Anyway, these look delicious. Let’s go and prepare them.”

Cheonma and I returned home with the fish we caught and cleaned them. There are more than ten fish, but they are small, so it takes a lot of work, but it doesn’t take that long to clean them.

After removing the blood and removing the intestines… I roasted some of them and ate them. I removed only the flesh to use as raw fish, and set aside the rest of the heads and bones to put in maeuntang (maeuntang). Also, I bring things like garlic and peppers to be used in spicy soup from the garden and cook them.

“Is there anything I can help you with? It’s a bit awkward for me to stay alone while you work.”

“Then, can you just set up the dishes first? All we have to do is bake and boil anyway.”

“I understand.”

Is there anything special about Hoe? If you don’t have to go to a raw fish restaurant and set it up, just cut it into chunks and that’s it. Since the meat is small anyway, it tastes better if it is cut small and thinly.

Let’s leave the grilled fish and spicy stew for a while and have a drink with raw fish. Enjoy the chewy taste of sashimi by dipping it in soy sauce mixed with vinegar or wasabi and drinking a glass of soju is so delicious that it tastes sweet.

“This is my first time eating raw fish… Isn’t it more delicious than I expected?”

“Hmm? I guess there is a raw fish culture in China, right?”

“There are people who eat it. However, one of the believers of the religion died from stomachache while eating raw fish. Later, an autopsy revealed that the cause of death was roundworms in his stomach…!!!”

“Hey, don’t talk like that while eating. And we don’t have to worry about parasites or anything like that.”

“It’s a matter of mood.”

As a transcendent being, I and the Heavenly Demon have a body that parasites and the like cannot touch. There’s no way parasites could survive in our bodies. If it enters the stomach in the first place, the parasite eggs will be digested by strong stomach acid.

In fact, there is no problem even if you eat freshwater fish with many parasites. It’s just that he refuses it because he has a mood problem, but if he ignores it, he can eat it as much as he wants.

… Actually, I feel that way too, so I don’t eat moon cheese covered in space radiation. I feel fine after eating, but I have mood problems.

Anyway, I also eat grilled food afterward. Although it was only seasoned with salt and pepper, the fish flesh was savory and delicious, and since I am a food thief, I enjoyed the rice more than the alcohol this time. Since I have a cauldron, I made a pot full of rice with the intention of making it for a few days, and I’ve already eaten half of it.

Cheonma was also very well received here. I guess it was delicious to my taste.

“Oh, this is good. It’s salty and savory and delicious. This alone is enough to go with a drink.”

“I didn’t even get spicy fish stew. Anyway, I ate a lot.”

“… Can you give me that much?”

“You caught more. And I’m going to eat a lot of spicy stew, so it’s okay.”

“If that’s the case…”

Actually, eating isn’t important, so I’ll share the maeuntang in moderation, but I’m doing this on purpose because I feel like Cheonma won’t eat it if I don’t. For me, if other people eat and feel happier than what I eat, that’s enough.

Afterward, spicy stew is served. The spicy maeuntang was boiled in a fairly large pot, bubbling with a faintly savory smell, probably because some soybean paste was also added. There are several fish heads as a bonus.

“I said it was the taste of fish head and meat. The head of fish is delicious!!!!”

“Hmm, I put my whole head in here, so I can drink a bottle of alcohol with just one. This is good!!!!”

“I liked that it was spicy and spicy. After drinking alcohol and my senses have become relatively dull, I crave something spicy.”

Cheonma and I toasted several times and shared a glass of wine. It was not long before the spicy stew disappeared.

What’s left is just a soup that has been boiled down to become a thick soup. It was a waste to throw this away, so I decided to just leave it and recycle it to eat tomorrow.

“What are you going to use that soup for?”

“Oh, I’m going to use this for hangover tomorrow morning. If I eat it with noodles like sujebi or kalguksu, it will be enough hangover, right?”

“That’s good too. I’m looking forward to it!!!”

In fact, eating something greasy and spicy the day after drinking alcohol is not a very good hangover. But what can you do? We are transcendental beings who are not affected by such things, so we can just ignore it.

There are only two concerns about what to do with the leftover maeuntang soup. Add flour to make sujebi or kalguksu, or add rice to make it like fish oatmeal. In the end, it’s just a difference in taste.

Personally, I’m craving sujebi, so I’m thinking of doing that. Sujebi is good because it is hand-plucked and has different shapes and different tastes and textures.

Afterward, I looked at the time and it was already evening. Although I had been preparing the ingredients since lunch, I had so much fun playing with Cheonma that it felt like the day was already over. It felt that way even more because it was an island.

“I guess I should sleep soon.”

“Isn’t the time itself a little early?”

“There’s nothing worth doing at night. At least for now.”

“… I see. Okay, then I’ll sleep in this room.”

Cheonma said, pointing to a small room among the rooms inside the house.

The idea of ​​sleeping separately is not unusual, but since this vacation has a purpose, it is a choice that cannot be ignored.

“What are you talking about? Come here.”

“What, what are you trying to do?!”

“I’ll just hold your hand and sleep. At least for today.”

I took Cheonma’s hand and led her to the bedroom. I can understand the purpose of creating a cozy bedroom with a bed large enough for two people, but for now, I really plan to just hold hands and sleep.

No, I will. However, because Cheonma has a sense of distance due to its nature, time was needed to narrow that down and create an atmosphere.

What would you do if you were a Cheonma in Moorim? When it comes to dating, I’m third-rate. So, the hard-to-believe idea of ​​sleeping while holding hands was actually real. I don’t know what will happen next.

“You’re sharing the same bed as me?!”

“Uh huh, didn’t I tell you that I’m not allowed to talk to you?”

“Ah… I’m sorry. It was a reflex. But sleeping with someone…”

“Come this way.”

I ignored her Heavenly Demon’s opinion and led her to her bedroom and laid her body on her bed.

Thanks to my ‘sensing’ ability, I can easily understand the other person’s lies, truth, and emotions, and I noticed that Cheonma’s feelings of rejection were not just rejection. Even though there was resistance to the idea of ​​sleeping together… There was at least a strange sense of anticipation about it. So I tried it.

They fall asleep feeling each other’s breath at a distance that allows them to touch each other’s breath. However, due to the circumstances, we couldn’t sleep easily.

No, even putting aside the fact that Cheonma is like that, Cheonma is better at harvesting than you think. I didn’t know much about it, but maybe it was some kind of pheromone? There was a heavy smell like that.

It’s not like I’m a Westerner. However, it seemed to smell nice, like a strong flower scent.

“…”

“…”

An uncomfortable silence followed, with both parties unable to sleep. The Heavenly Demon is like that because of my presence right in front of her, and I am like that because of her harvest.

After several hours of struggling, I woke up and pretended to wake up. I’m in charge of cooking and things like that, so it’s nice to be able to use that as an excuse.

… No, but I really thought I was going to die because I was trying to control myself. I wonder how my son endured the stiffness. Especially if I endured something like harvesting the Heavenly Demon, my patience is worthy of praise.

Afterward, I got up again and, as I said yesterday, I started making sujebi dough with the remaining spicy stew soup and kneading it. As I was getting ready, Cheonma, who was also awake but pretending to be asleep, acted as if she had just woken up and approached me while I was cooking.

“Ah, that sounds delicious. Can I comb it flat like this?”

“Yes, it’s not that difficult, so you can do it. Instead, don’t make it too thick. It won’t cook all the way through.”

“Well, I get it.”

I added some scraps of fish meat left over to thicken the soup and… Just like that, breakfast was almost complete.

Since I drank alcohol yesterday, my stomach was a bit sore, so the savory sujebi boiled in spicy and spicy soup was just like hangover soup. Cheonma and I had breakfast quietly eating sujebi without saying a word to each other.

I still feel a bit of distance. I guess I need some time.

Well, now it’s just one day out of a week of vacation. There are only six days left, so it’s something you just have to take your time.

“Let’s eat meat today.”

“Oh, meat? That’s good. What kind of meat do you want to eat?”

“Pork. Since you come from a martial arts background, you’re probably familiar with that, right? Honestly, there are a lot of variations you can make.”

Pork is a common food ingredient in China, so much so that when talking about meat, pork is mentioned. I think the response will be good if I cook pork with it.

I think it would be delicious if you cooked a freshly caught pig and made a dish. There are already a few pigs on the island, so you can just catch them and cook them, so there is no problem.

“Is it pork? That’s mouth-watering. It’s delicious even if you eat it in various ways: grilled, stir-fried, fried, boiled, boiled, steamed.”

“What do you want to eat? Just tell me, and I’ll do it for you.”

“Then, let’s try grilling. I heard that in Korea, pork is mainly eaten grilled, so I’d like to try that taste.”

“Then, shall we have a full course of grilled pork? If there’s any leftover, I could make some soup and eat it.”

First, the plan is to just grill at least one… For example, I plan to use grilled parts such as pork belly or pork neck to eat.

But the other one is Tonggu. Although it may not be a whole-roasted pig like Kaoruju, I planned to roast a whole pig and then slice it up and eat it. Honestly, I like it because it has its own taste.

“Kaoruju? That’s a dish with a delicious crispy skin…”

“It might take some time. But didn’t we make a lot of firewood?”

“It’s enough work to bake for a long time. Okay, all that’s left is to slaughter a pig?”

“Just two for now. The rest will probably be enough considering what we eat.”

“Hmm, I guess it’s a little lacking…”

“I’m going to eat the internal organs as well, so it’ll be enough.”

“Oh, really? Then that would be enough.”

Although I had no intention of eating all the livestock on this island released by Keter, I at least had the intention of leaving them behind. At least it would be nice to have something to eat next time I come.

Anyway, pig was decided as the next menu. At least two pigs will die.

… Ah!!!! Suddenly, I think of fried rice made with seaweed powder and sliced ​​radish on a grill with grilled pork belly!!!!!
