How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 21. Cooking is chemistry (5) + Princess swordsmanship (1) She had developed several medicines, such as an ointment for skin whitening, an ointment for permanent hair loss, and an elixir for increasing muscle mass.

These are all products that are likely to be in explosive demand.

I will leave these to my mother's family.

And I already talked about it through the trading company I was dealing with previously.

All that remains is to wait for the results.

* * *

As for the results, as I expected, the products distributed by Ainrest Street made a huge profit.

Because I handed over the entire secondary distribution to the family, I was able to do more transactions with more merchants than I could personally handle, and merchants even offered better conditions to my mother's family in order to bring in more products. I was going to

It was sold so much that I admired my share of the profits alone.

Seriously, it was enough to drastically renovate the palace and give bonuses to the ladies-in-waiting.

Thanks to that, the Ainrest family's financial situation has skyrocketed in a short period of time, and now even the merchants in the kingdom can't seem to get hold of it.

“Father… your maternal grandfather wants you to say thank you.”

Thanks to that, my mother has a smile on her face lately.

Even if you didn't show it, you couldn't help but worry about the problem of your parents' house.

Just like that, when I was relieved with a happy mood, my father... the king called me.

“I hear a lot of voices praising Arel these days.”

While drinking refreshments and tea, the king spoke first in a heartwarming voice.

These days, when someone calls me out, the first thing they say is usually like that.

It seems that he considers me very special.

It's not that I'm particularly biased.

I know that the other children would like to take a look when they can afford it.

Well, I must be the prettiest.

“Arel. Do you have any intention of taking up a full-fledged government job soon?”

The King, who had been praising me, suddenly brought up such a proposal.

The movement of my hand toward the refreshment stopped for an instant.

....what did you say now?

“It may be a bit early, but now, even if you take up an official position, no one will object.”

I bet it is.

Because I keep creating hit products and praising myself with embarrassing nicknames like little sages and all.

There won't be anyone who opposes it unless they get hit in the head with a fireball, right?

“Arel, there is a department that wants you to hold an official position.”

Is this a scouting offer?

Then you'll have to call the salary a little tight.

....I thought quietly that something was coming soon.

Even the nobles, unless they're stupid, want to attract them to their side as much as possible if I prove that I'm useful.

They want to make connections somehow by dragging me into their department.

“How are you? Do you have a job you want?”

“...I don't know what to do with my father's consideration, but...

I pretended to be worried and then slowly made up words.

“I still like academics and alchemy.”

To be honest, I already have the title of head of the alchemist team.

Take one more official position here?

Ugh... just imagining it is terrifying.

There is a reason that it is for my desire, but it was clear that what I was doing would be a murderous schedule if others saw it.

No sane person would take on any more work here.

....Of course, I'm not going to say anything about leaving all the work behind and fooling around every day.

“There are still many things I want to achieve with alchemy. sorry.”

“hmm. is it.”

There is no sign of disappointment.

He just strokes his beard and calmly accepts it.

Maybe he didn't even guess that I would agree.

In the end, I also asked what I meant now. Are you pretending to ask because people around you want it?

“If that's what you mean, there's nothing you can do about it. If you have a job you want, tell me anytime. I will listen.”

“yes.”

I don't think that day will ever come.

The princess's practice of swordsmanship (1)

The smell of grilled meat is fragrant whenever you smell it.

When you put the juicy meat on the hot grill, the sound of chiik and the spreading fragrance is amazing.

I picked up the cooked meat and blew into my mouth.

Kyaa! Maybe it's because it's top-notch meat, but it's amazing just to chew it.

Eating bulgogi outside on a warm spring day is like heaven.

Meat Heaven Vegetarian Hell.

I think the best moment of my life is right now, where I pile up various types of meat and grill them one by one.

“right. right.”

I almost forgot because I was obsessed with meat.

I took out several bottles I had prepared, opened them, and poured the contents onto a small plate.

Add sesame oil and mix salt to complete the sesame oil sauce!

It's special to eat with this!

Then he took out the second bottle.

When you open the lid, the strong smell stimulates your appetite.

This is red pepper paste!

Not long ago, I found red pepper among the items brought in from abroad, bought it, although it was expensive, and ordered our exclusive chef to make it.

Do you eat this too? Do you eat that too?

The meat, which is delicious even if eaten as it is, is even more delicious thanks to the various sauces I specially prepared.

My hands and mouth, which I was working hard on, stopped at some point.

“I want to feel a little bit.”

If we only eat meat, we get oily.

I put the carbonated ade poured into the cup into my mouth.

“Kyaa?”

The feeling of freshness that washes away greasy feeling is refreshing.

Do you grill and eat meat repeatedly as if you were a mukbang BJ?

and across from me.

“Arel. Why don't you eat more?”

Kania-sister has piled up an amount of meat that could be three times as large as mine and is eagerly eating it.

The real mukbang was over there.

Apparently these days, since it's swordsmanship and physical training, he eats better than me as he burns calories diligently.

no need to worry

A lot of meat.

There are many parts, too.

There are many bulgogi marinated in seasoning.

So I hope you enjoy it, sister.

So, my brother and sister diligently filmed the meat eating show, and when they were full, they both let out a lukewarm sigh at the same time, feeling happy.

“It was really good. It’s been a while since I ate this much.”

“That’s good.”

I smiled and nodded as I looked at Kaniana who was happy with satisfaction.

The charcoal fire specially improved for today is also popular.

Recently, we continue to enjoy the luxury of products that I will develop.

I enjoy the benefits of my ideas to my heart's content, from food to daily necessities.

money? It's not very relaxed, so it rots and overflows.

Thanks to these days, whenever I have free time, I just think about what I can make to make it more comfortable.

Recently, I thought about making an ondol, but I realized that it was not really necessary because I was heating it with magic these days.

And my older sister Kania, who often plays with me, is also enjoying the product I developed to her heart's content.

Today, good meat just came into my hands, so I was thinking of grilling it outside, but just in time, Kanian-noona came and ate it with me.

“By the way, what is Kania-nee doing today?”

I'm too insensitive to ask this now.

“Ah... that's right... I almost forgot!

Arel!”

I am startled by my question.

He seems to have forgotten the reason why he came here for the satisfaction of the meat.

As if she had finally remembered her business, Kanianuna leaned over towards me.

huh? Wasn't it just to play?

“Would you like to go to practice together?”

I almost dropped the cup I was drinking from.

....weird.

Was the meat you were eating undercooked?

Perform?

For a moment, I wondered if I had heard wrongly about going on a picnic.

To that extent, Kania-sister spoke outrageously in a very bright voice.

“Practice... what do you mean?”

I have a feeling of uneasiness.

For now, let's muster up the courage to ask again the meaning of the statement we just made.

“I'm sixteen now, too.”

“yes. Yes.”

“Since my oldest brother started training in earnest from the age of sixteen, I’m thinking of doing it now too.”

I don't think that training...

“Couldn't it be... that knight's training, right?”

When I ask in a half-frightened manner, Kania noona nods vigorously.

“huh. that's right!”

....damn.

Now I felt like I knew what my sister was talking about.

Knight training refers to the practice that one begins to do in earnest when one reaches a certain age because one needs practical experience.

Even if you practice wielding only a white-edged sword, you will not be able to exceed a certain level.

One practice is a greater experience than a hundred practices.

There are cases of actual combat, such as exterminating bandits, but in Kania's case, I think she wants to improve her skills by exterminating monsters.

Of course, just because it's a real battle doesn't mean you're leaving to fight wild monsters.

A monster prepared in an appropriately prepared environment. And it is to prepare countermeasures in case of emergency and carry them out.

That doesn't mean it's that simple.

“You can't... you're not saying you're going to fight monsters, are you?”

“however?”

Cania noona do that? He tilts his face as if he wants to ask.

....It's not a remark that will cause you to tilt your head cutely.

Ugh... I feel like my head is pounding for some reason.

“Couldn’t that have been your father’s permission?”

I believe not.

Will it be single?

Even my father, whose head is full of muscles, doesn't think that his daughter-in-law will give permission easily when he says he's leaving to catch monsters.

Common sense wouldn't allow it.

I just hoped that this time, too, it would end only with my sister's futile stubbornness.

But hope is always dashed.

“Of course I took permission! My father and mother gave me permission!”

Hey, why did you allow it?

I felt the urge to run right away and ask.

Are you usually dry?

It's a monster! Mon! S! place!

I'm not hunting rabbits!

....I can only imagine.

He probably reluctantly allowed it because he wouldn't listen to it until he tried to stop it.

“Instead, I'll take a lot of escort knights. I'll take my maid too.”

“It's still dangerous.”

“Shouldn’t I be willing to endure that much?

Because the moment I raised my sword, I was already prepared.”

....I almost fell in love for a moment.

What kind of princess would say something so wonderful?

Just in case, I asked how many escorts they would take with me, and I realized that there were too many of them.

Um, is that amount of people okay?

Anyway, it's surprising.

Although I knew of Kania's older sister's obsession with swordsmanship from before. I never thought I would want to improve my skills while dealing with real monsters...

Huh?! It's not the time to admire!

“however.... Why are you taking me?”

This is the problem!

Why are you trying to drag me in, who used to grill and eat meat?

“My father said he had to take Arel with him.”

This man aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Was it you who made it?

I shouted to my heart's content, and I managed to regain my composure.

Did I do something rude without knowing it?

As I was seriously thinking, Kania's sister-in-law, who was waiting on us, came and whispered to me.

“...Actually, I think it's because he thought that only Arell-nim could stop Kania-nim.”

“Was it like that?”

I somehow got it.
