Chapter 544 – [God Is Watching!]

Here, too, the concept of master’s and doctoral degrees exists.

Once you graduate from the academy run by Ruri Yongyongnara, you get a bachelor’s degree, then you enter a science fiction research institute and publish something that can be recognized as a thesis, then you get a master’s degree, and then a breakthrough or outstanding presentation like a thesis that grasps the principles of self-fantasy, then you get a doctorate. All.

And Adam Blake, a young man in his late 20s who is shining in front of his eyes and showing curiosity, is a promising young man with a Ph.D.

“It would have been really nice if we had met and talked before. Now that Her Highness’s position has risen, it’s a bit difficult for me to treat her as well.”

“For that matter, it seems that curiosity is on the verge of overcoming rudeness?”

Haha, if you got your PhD at this age thanks to that curiosity, you should be honest with your instincts.”

First of all, Leticia stood in line instead and had her buy some red bean buns. She seems to be using it as a bread shuttle, but it seemed like she wouldn’t even be able to do this conversation properly if she was in the seat.

Dr. Adam took the notebook out of his arms and prepared to ask questions in earnest. He must be a doctor, but the preparation to carry something like that by hand is a bit strange.

“First, I would like to ask the name of Your Highness’s magnetic fantasy.”

“Isn’t it okay to tell someone you have become a full-fledged exchange this time that you haven’t taught your aides yet?”

“Ah, then you don’t have to tell me. In fact, the situation is still ambiguous, but it’s going to be a state secret or something… It will become known with time, but it’s still the best thing to hide.”

“But why do you have to start with your name?”

“The name of a self-fantasy usually contains a rough shape or ability. You can get a lot of information just by knowing the name.”

If you think about self-fantasies like [The Empire’s Strongest Knight] Or [The Pride of a Lowly Coachman], You can get a sense of it.

I can’t tell you what I’m writing because it’s not self-fantasy. My power is my life itself, so I can’t label it as self-fantasy.

“However, as a result of investigating the previous explosions and eyewitness accounts of the duel with Duke Magnus, I figured out that Your Highness’ ability is basically based on telekinesis. At that time, the fact that not a single speck of dust was on your collar at the time of the explosion was through that telekinesis. It seems to be because you opened it.”

“Ohh”

It seems that it’s not just about getting a PhD at a young age. His opinion is somewhat correct.

My force field is to create a wall using the ‘interference’ ability. And although the wall is very different from willpower, normal telekinesis, it bears a slight resemblance to it, so the fact that they approached that much in itself is evidence of their diligent investigation.

Of course, the force field of simple telekinesis is broken if you hit it with a lot of physical force, but mine is safe as long as you don’t hit a neutron star. Furthermore, it is capable of concept defense, so it is the strongest shield and spear.

“I don’t know what the maximum limit of that telekinesis is, but if you’ve officially won a duel against Duke Magnus, who has undergone two fantasy evolutions, you’ll surely be able to enter the Continental Ten Rivers.”

“Fancy evolution?”

“Ah…Yes, fantasy evolution refers to the case where one’s self-fantasy evolves and becomes another self-fantasy. Self-fantasy ultimately comes from one’s own sense of purpose, so as it changes in one’s life, self-fantasy also changes.”

Hagi Knight Duke Magnus’ self-fantasy was 【The Empire’s Strongest Knight】. Nara, his reincarnation, also had a weak newbie time in the first episode, but even if I gave the ability to me at that time, I don’t become as strong as I am now.

In any case, the experience and skills accumulated over the years support the present self. Even if Duke Magnus had recklessly awakened to [The Empire’s Strongest Knight] When he was young, he wouldn’t be able to use it properly.

At first, it was small and feeble, and then, at some point, when the scaffolding was completed, the next thing to happen would be fantasy evolution.

It’s like that, like Star Platinum or The World, Echoes Act.3 or Made in Heaven.

The more I think about it, the more I compare my fantasy with the stand, is that proof that I’m JoJorr!!!

“Your Highness is still young. No one has awakened his imagination at that age, has not become a dreamer, and has not been nominated for the Continental Ten.”

“If you hear that the future is promising, I’ll take it well.”

“Yes, I am also very curious about what kind of self-fantasy changes Your Highness will achieve.”

While we were talking, Leticia bought red bean buns and came back. Dr. Adam and I lift one by one to taste the red bean buns.

The sweet red bean paste goes well with the slightly warm bread. Even if there are a lot of people, they seem to be making it delicious, so I think I can trust them here.

“Ah, this is nice. Rumors spread that I came out to buy some for the research assistants. I feel lucky to have met Her Highness like this.”

“……The teaching assistants came out to buy snacks?”

“Yes, I am. Are you having any problems?”

No, did the professor come out on purpose to buy snacks for graduate students?

He was such a good boy!!!!

I suddenly felt better because I felt like I made an unexpectedly good network.

*        *    *

After talking with Dr. Adam, we parted ways. If there is one piece of news worth paying attention to, it is about the candidates for the Continental Ten.

It was a situation where it was taken for granted that I would be nominated and get the position. The conditions to bring me to the continental 10 river are met, but there is still more to come.

However, the problem is the treatment of Duke Magnus. It was a question of whether I would take his place, or whether I would add to it.

That is why he is now being dispatched to the delegation. Of course, their purpose is to prevent the Empire from having three Continental Ten Powers, so they will work hard to bring down Duke Magnus.

“That’s not my part-time job. It’s me, either way is fine.”

“After all, it’s strange that the continental 10 rivers come and go in a political fight.”

“What about the envoys anyway?”

“Currently, Marquis Sujing from a kingdom has arrived. He will come to see Your Highness right after having an audience with Your Majesty.”

“Tell the kids to get ready to do some tricks”

The opponent is a person from a country that I am quite interested in, a kingdom. There is no one who does not know that their first king was a slave, but in the end, there is no such thing as a queen. Now, no nation ignores one kingdom.

Furthermore, since it was a country established by a person who led the slave revolution at the time, the favorability of other races is higher than that of the Empire. Even though the country is small, the national power is strong because it can take the side of a kingdom in an ambiguous moment.

Hey Frontier! I’ll show you the spiciness of the little pepper! Storm… Ah, not this.

A few days after the visit of an envoy from a kingdom, an audience request came to our palace. As expected, the opponent is Marquis Sugyeong, the representative and prime minister of the delegation.

I immediately gave permission and met him. And for the first time in this world, I saw a person with black hair.

“It is an honor to meet you, Your Highness, the 3rd Prince. I am Marquis Sukyung, who has come as the representative of the delegation this time.”

“It’s called Worst Pawn Frontier. I’m not familiar with the etiquette of a kingdom yet, so I might make mistakes, so I’d appreciate it if you could understand.”

“No, it’s only natural that at that age you don’t know more than you know.”

A guest came and the purpose was clear. Then, all that remains is to negotiate through appropriate dialogue.

And that requires lubrication. Moreover, since they came from an oriental-like place called Han Kingdom, they are completely different and different tasting subjects. Today’s meal was deliberately prepared with mainly oriental dishes.

“You must have a lot to talk about, but let’s talk about it over a meal first.”

“I’ve heard rumors about the restaurant run by Her Highness. Can we expect a meal served in Her Highness’s palace?”

“Of course. Moreover, since you are from a kingdom, we have specially prepared recipes and dishes that have not been served to anyone yet. I hope you like it.”

“Hmm, I’m quite looking forward to it.”

When it comes out in detail, it lasts all day even if you eat it. So, this meal was divided into appetizer, main, and dessert, and I prepared a simple three-course meal.

The first thing that came out was the appetizer. Sweet pumpkin tarak porridge made with glutinous rice flour, milk, and additional sweet pumpkin as ingredients. It looks similar to pumpkin porridge, but it has more of the savory taste of glutinous rice and milk than pumpkin porridge, which has a lot of pumpkin flavor, and has a subtle sweetness.

Of course, the color is pretty as it has the yellow color of a pumpkin. Isn’t rice cake that looks good and is also good to eat?

“I heard that a kingdom uses rice as its staple food. But, surprisingly, dairy products such as milk are not used.”

“Yes, His Majesty, the first King, did not eat milk or other dairy products at all. So related businesses were reduced… Dairy products are still not used very much in a kingdom.”

Didn’t you eat dairy? It seems you have severe lactose intolerance.

There are people who are lactose intolerant, who cannot break down the lactose in milk, but can still eat dairy products that contain less lactose. But if he couldn’t eat dairy products, he must have been someone who couldn’t even eat milk.

It’s a bit odd that dishes containing milk haven’t developed since it’s not even Joseon that didn’t have dairy cows here. It’s just that I didn’t use milk in the first place.

“Eh, the color is also different, but the sweetness of the pumpkin subtly rises and the savory taste is excellent. It’s not made from rice porridge, but ground into powder and made into porridge, so it’s even softer.”

“The reaction is good, so I’m happy too. It’s less worrying about serving the next dish.”

The appetizer was quickly emptied. Originally, the amount was small, but it was delicious and not too hot, so I ate it all in no time.

After a while, the next dish was the main dish. It was tofu steak.

Drained and mashed tofu is mixed with a little flour and chopped vegetables and made into a hamburger steak. The sauce itself was not seasoned much, but the dark brown sauce poured over it was a demi-glace sauce brewed all day.

There’s that sauce that comes out when you think of hamburger steak. Roughly think of it that way.

“A dish made with tofu made from soybeans. Try it.”

“Then where…”

When the tofu steak is cut in half with a knife, the white cross section is reflected inside. The characteristic color of cooked meat is not visible at all.

I don’t want to force a vegetarian diet on others. Saying that you only eat vegetables is just a belief, but if you consider it superior and look down on others, that’s just an asshole.

The reason I serve him tofu steak is because it’s always delicious. In particular, the beans here taste better than the earth even if the seeds are not improved.

“Hmm! Personally, I didn’t like steak with sauce because it was too salty, but I like this one because it has a light taste and the sauce harmonizes. Did you say tofu was the ingredient?”

“Yes, it’s a newly made ingredient.”

“The light and savory taste is very good.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s natural for everyone to want to eat something delicious. If necessary, I’ll give you a tour of the tofu-making process later.”

“Oh, thank you!”

Making debt to each other here!

He can learn how to make tofu, and I can be condescending by telling him about it. Originally, I was going to sprinkle the recipe, but it’s my share that the bean curd falls in the middle of it.

Anyway, the tofu steak was delicious. Since it is served on a hot iron plate, it remains warm even when savoring it slowly. The taste of the tofu is savory and light, but the sauce that supplements the lacking taste makes your mouth not feel bored.

Since there is nothing for sale here, the only way to make demi-glace sauce is to make it homemade. In addition, you have to boil beef bones and vegetables all day long, but even in this era, it is difficult to make it unless it is a nobleman’s kitchen.

I soon emptied the tofu steak garnish and waited for the last dessert to come out.

“Lastly, dessert.

Personally, I decided to serve dessert with red bean paste.

However, yanggaeng suitable for dessert was difficult to make because there was no agar, and red bean bread was already sold in the market, so it was difficult to put it on the table of the nobility.

There are taiyaki and walnut snacks with red bean paste, but it took time to make the iron plate to make them. Besides, it’s a good snack to eat with your hands, not with tableware.

What kind of guy slices taiyaki with a knife and eats walnut snacks with a fork? Honestly it’s not

I was just thinking about what would be good. It uses red bean paste, looks pretty, and is suitable for dessert. It’s just Japanese sweets.

“It’s called Japanese confectionery. The filling uses red bean paste, and the color is kneaded with purple sweet potato or flower petal water.”

“This……”

A wagashi with a yellow decoration in the center of a purple flower-shaped wagashi. The color and shape are very pretty.

Of course, they cannot be as delicate or skillful as those made by skilled confectionery masters, but they are also chefs in the imperial kitchen. The sensibility and dexterity developed while plating did not go anywhere.

The purple flower-like wagashi that I was able to shape after a lot of practice was like a work of art. Like other pretty sweets and snacks, it’s almost a waste to eat.

“You use red beans. In one kingdom, red beans were mostly eaten with rice or made into porridge. How did you come up with this idea?”

“Originally, making red bean paste and porridge are similar, but different, so if you don’t want to make it, you can’t think of it.”

Red bean paste and red bean porridge are different. Both use boiled red beans, but you need to pay attention to the degree of boiling and boiling of red beans.

Of course, I’m not ignoring the people here. If time passes, someone might boil down the red bean porridge and make something similar to red bean paste, but at least I came here faster than that person.

Marquis Sugyong cut the wagashi in half with a fork. Although the shape is a little mangled, the sweet bean paste is revealed in the cross section of the wagashi that is gently cut in half.

He put the cut half of the wagashi into his mouth and savored the sweetness. For reference, I did not add too much sugar when I made this red bean paste. That’s why you feel the sweetness of adzuki bean stronger.

Although tastes differ, those who already know the taste of red beans will not feel rejected. All that was left was his reaction.

“It’s sweet. But I don’t have a big objection. Even though the bitter tea is strong, it’s rather a more hands-on taste.”

“I’m glad you like it”

The sweetness of sugar and the sweetness of red beans are different. Here, in a kingdom, sugarcane is grown, so it is not enough to produce such sweetness.

Just because it’s seasoned doesn’t mean it’s delicious. Yeah, things that you know are delicious if you put cheese in them or if they’re fucking hot.

But I crave green tea for a snack with red bean paste, but there is no green tea in Han Kingdom? At first, I gave up half way when there was only black tea here… Ah! I want to drink coffee!!!!

“An idea and power that is different from that of an ordinary person… Hmm”

Marquis Sukyung seemed to be thinking about something, but then made a decision and asked me.

“What do you think of our kingdom, Your Highness?”

“Well, first of all, I have personal curiosity, but I think it’s a pity that it’s difficult to visit because of this situation.”

“…If we can afford to deal with the diplomatic problem, would you be willing to visit?”

He had a purpose in asking such a question. Besides, there was something about that muttering just now…

With the circumstantial evidence thus far, I was almost certain.

I’m sorry! Something hit me right now!
