Do you really need to offer up jewels? Is there any need for that! How many ingredients can you buy with just one gem?


    ‘Cook with it and win the love of the overwhelming majority of the crowd!’


    The following went around ugrun and the underground city to purchase ingredients.


    It was as expected that most of the ingredients would be unfamiliar, but even ugrun’s nose could not be fooled.


    Bluebeard’s absolute sense of location and awareness of monsters approaching was equally applicable to food.


    Just the sight of buying and carrying ingredients was enough to get the attention of the Gori Paleo NPCs.


    A species I’ve never seen before, carrying a strange bird on its head and having something squishy carry a lot of ingredients?


    “Jpon, are you still okay?”


    [Mmmmmmmm….]


    “When I finish making it, I will feed it to you too, so help me.”


    [Munch, mumble….]


    Gpon’s eyes were all over the ce and it was scary. It seemed disgusting at first, but now I’m pretty used to it.


    When we bought all the ingredients and even a few cooking utensils, a show was literally going on in the gori paleo za.


    “okay. The fire is—uh, to light the fire… everyone! Please step back a little! More, more! Now then, don’t be rmed~”


    After gathering the firewood he had purchased, Leeha lit a fire.


    This was the reason why ugrun squealed above Leeha’s head.


    “me Throw!”


    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!


    “Ukit, Ukiiiiit——!” “Ugh! Light the fire— Ukit, Ukuk!”


    Using a methrower to light a fire to cook food!


    The goris Paleo were startled and ran away, but soon gathered again, showing curiosity.


    ‘Hehe, where are you going? Then, make the broth by roasting it to create incense…’


    Leeha quickly and skillfully refined the ingredients.


    Buying ingredients wasn’t just for cooking.


    ‘I roughly figured out the types, shapes, and characteristics of animals found nearby.’


    There was especially a lot of meat withrge areas and firm muscles.


    Considering that this ce, right above the underground city, is an open area consisting of grasnd, it is undoubtedly an animal simr to a horse.


    If you can tame it and ride it, moving around will be much easier.


    ‘It’s a shame that there’s a little less fat, but I think the chewiness is quite good. It has a unique target, hmm, let’s try catching it with this.’


    [Kyuuuu….]


    ugrun shook his head as he looked at what Leeha had picked up, but this time Leeha’s stubbornness won out.


    Cheeeeeee──────!


    As the meat was being grilled, an appetizing smell wafted through the air.


    I wondered if it had a slight smell, but before I knew it, the spices were added and it became savory.


    [Kyuu? Kkyukkyun!]


    “Hmm~ It smells good. It’s not that bad when it turns out like this, right? “Although it is difficult to eat the originally musty smells individually, mixing them together has the effect of suppressing the scent.”


    What Leeha took out and put in was the yellow bodily fluid that came out of the severed leg of the Rhinodillo.


    At first nce, I thought the smell, simr to salted cussfish, would have some kind of effect, so I added it… and it was quite an excellent match.


    The grilled meat was procured in a local way, and the soup made with rich broth was vored with plenty of fruits received from red goats and ck-crowned paleos.


    Moreover, some spices from the Old World are essential!


    Afterpleting the setup so that the tastes of the New World and the Old World could be enjoyed on one te, Leeha quietly recited one of his skills.


    “〈Soul Link〉.”


    Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!


    The Gori Paleo NPCs were startled by the exploding red light. No matter how much artificial light is provided, it cannotpare to the light on earth!


    The light generated by the creation of the little boy was visible everywhere in the underground city.


    “Kuuuuuuuuuuuuu!


    “Yes, yes. I grilled meat. “Even the little one takes a bite.”


    Lee Ha stuffed a piece of meat into the roaring kid’s mouth. The kid has red eyes?! It turned big.


    “Kkuum, kkuum… kkuum.”


    “Kid, light the fire.”


    “Cow.”


    Grumbling!


    The little boy who enjoyed eating a piece of meat soon turned into a brown bear.


    The gori paleo NPCs who were just watching around me were like, wow! I was amazed once again.


    “The food is ready! ‘Neon Sign’ is ready! [Ha Restaurant] Open! Come on, all you hungry people, wee! It’s free, free! “Eat delicious food and fill your stomach with warmth!”


    Oops! Oops!


    It was like a deration of war.


    Looking at the huge amount of food that Lee Ha makes, I thought, ‘Will I eat it all by myself? Or maybe…’ The Gori Paleos who had been waiting with anticipation started running towards me like lightning.


    “It’s a lot! We made it to overflowing, soe on over! “It’s a skill that can only be tasted at the Sacred Grill, the best restaurant in the Lope Old World!”


    The bowl looked like a flimsy wooden bowl, but the contents were of the utmost taste!


    Lee Ha suddenly remembered the Candle Castle restaurant.


    Who knew that the cooking I learned from Ju’s older sister Lu and her cute Kiyomi, or rather, Kiyo-Mifgar, would be put to such useful use.


    In the underground city, Lee Ha’s name quickly spread widely.


    The speed at which intimacy was built was faster than the speed at which food ran out.


    Even while the food was being served, the kid and ugrun growled at each other about eating the remaining ingredients, but the winner ended up being Jpon, which came out of nowhere.


    However, if the kid or ugrun were starving, that wasn’t the case.


    “Of course you guys took care of it too. Eat, eat! Especially little ones! “You need to eat a lot.”


    Now that we know that even small children can be fed, and that brown bears that have made a contract with the fire spirit can develop on their own, we need to take more care of them than we do now.


    For the first time since bing soulmates with Lee Ha, the little boy enjoyed a temporarily peaceful world without hunting or a crisis that required him to sacrifice his body.


    * * *


    “Well, that’s how it happened.”


    “Cooking… Just cooking-”


    “At best? “I guess I didn’t study as much as I thought, Luger?”


    “what?”


    “Think carefully about why the French Revolution urred. Even though we are Europeans, don’t you know that? ‘If you don’t have bread, you can just give me meat~’ Don’t you know? “Cooking, that is, filling people’s stomachs, is not something to be said for.”


    “…Are you sure you mean Marie Antote? Yes, but what you just said was a fabricated rumor-”


    “Anyway, you’re an idiot. Isn’t that right, Kid?”


    “Uhm… I have nothing to say.”


    Even as Leeha and Luger started arguing, Kid was still in shock. Who knew that using the most resources would lead to the slowest increase in intimacy.


    Next to him, Luger tried to give Leeha a lecture on European history, as if he needed to get rid of the false usation of being ignorant, but Leeha simply ignored him.


    Harhei watched with excitement themotion that urred when the three musketeers got together.


    “also! After all, they are his friends! “Ukyaaa!”


    “Yes? So, you can tell me. “We are not the ones who will cause any harm to Harhei and the Paleo people.”


    While listening to the following, the older gori Paleo, who was nearby, also nodded.


    It took less than 12 hours for all three to achieve 100% intimacy.


    No, just looking at the case below, it took less than 8 hours.


    That was the reason Kid was still muttering to himself and unable toe out of shock.


    “You can trust me. Please guide us to the ces of our ‘friend’ who stopped by here 50 years ago and 20 years ago. “We will personally find what our ‘friend’ left behind and return it to him.”


    Unlike when talking with Luger or Kidd, there was no yfulness in Lee Ha’s remarks.


    The voice, which had be extremely serious, quietly but meaningfully echoed through the guardian deity’s residence.


    “Ukit, Ukikit!”


    Harhei seemed to ponder for a moment. Then suddenly it started moving on the jungle gym.


    Up, down, down, up, the monkey-like spirit creature wandered around for a while as if ying a game, and after a while, it came down in front of the three musketeers.


    “good. good. As much as he did for us, you also did for us. We should also be able to give you a little something. “Big brother!”


    “Rond!”


    “Guide them there.”


    “…Rond!”


    The eldest gori Paleo hesitated for a moment, but had no choice but to follow the guardian spirit’s orders.


    Leeha clenched his fist tightly.


    Finally, a hurdle has been ovee. All that’s left is to enter Kaztor’s 7thboratory!


    -You both remember the bet, right? The first step is mine. The first time you stick out your toe, the ck Bass will blow you away, so take care of it! Well, our Kid and Luger are not small people who don’t keep their promises, so you don’t have to worry.


    The bodies of Luger and Kid, who had calmed down as they listened to the following whispers, began to tremble once again.


    They are so stupid and good-natured that they seem like idiots to other users, but how can it be that the three musketeers are so cruel and good at teasing each other?


    It was proof that a lot of intimacy, camaraderie, rivalry, etc. was running deep between the three, but Lee Ha was not aware of it.


    * * *


    “This is the ce. “A space used by a ‘friend’ who was with us 50 years ago.”


    The three musketeers followed their older brother, Paleo, the gori, and stood in front of the stairs leading down to another level at the very outskirts of the underground city.


    Compared to Gori Paleo’s construction work in various ces to raise and expand the underground city, this space was showing no construction in the vicinity, as if it was saying ‘the end’.


    “Is this also the same ce I visited 20 years ago?”


    “No, my friend visited us 20 years ago, but he didn’t stop by this space.”


    “You said you definitely came earlier-”


    “Coming to the underground city and visiting this space are different things, Luger.”


    “Ugh, huh, huh huh.”


    Luger didn’t try to refute, but quickly cleared his throat. This is because the expression of big brother gori Paleo was not wrong.


    Why didn’t I stop by here when I came 20 years ago?


    Unlike Kid or Luger, Lee Ha was able to think of a different thought just from the one word he just said.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    ‘There was no need toe. Then there is only one reason.’


    Because there is no more business to do in thisb. why?


    ‘Because the research… has probably beenpleted sessfully.’


    What was the research Kaztor was doing? To sum up his purpose in one word, it is [the revival of the dark elf race].


    Dark elves, a race that was persecuted and persecuted and wandered in search of sanctuary.


    A current elder of the dark elf race said that Kaz’tor was trying to find a way for his race to find light again.


    Kaztor ran out with all the dark elves’ long-standing records to conduct research. Since we could no longer resolve it internally, we wanted to find out more information from outside.


    Of course, without internal data, they could not know all of the records or information about their race, so they had to bring all of the internal data with them.


    Then, they wandered all over the continent, perhaps evening to the New Continent,bining information and methods from the outside world with internal data to find the surest way to revive the Dark Elf race.


    ‘Well, since it’s a game, I guess ‘bing stronger’ would be close to the goal. It was said to be a way to make the entire dark elf race stronger… At Research Institute No. 6, there was even talk of it being the ‘sword of God’ or ‘suppressing demons’. In order for the minority race, the Dark Elves, to not be persecuted by the majority race, such as the Wood Elves and humans, all they have to do is to be overwhelmingly stronger than them. The only problem is….’


    It’s the way to be stronger and the results after bing stronger.


    How, how strong do they be, and through what actions are they trying to achieve the revival of the dark elves?


    In front of the stairs going further underground, Leeha looked at his older brother, the gori Paleo.


    “I’m not going?”


    “I don’t go from here. “I will guard this ce until you return.”


    “Hmm, that’s when something goes wrong-”


    “Our friend showed us how to get this space ande down underground to ask for protection. “It will be safe inside.”


    “Eh? What-”


    “Is that really so?”


    Leeha tilted his head at the words of his eldest gori Paleo, but Kid nodded instead.


    This is because Kaztor realized that what he got in return for informing them about space movement was not only hiding the location of theboratory but also providing a border.
