Chapter 21
Polenta refers to a porridge-like food made from grains that are easy to find such as corn barley or chestnuts.
The rough texture is made to stand out so when you eat it the texture is rough compared to the appearance but it is also attractive.
It is popular because it is made with ingredients that are easy to find but it is also a good food for poor people to eat in abundance.
However if made well it is as delicious as any other food and fills you up even if you don’t eat much making it suitable for use as emergency food.
Above all if you not only eat it like porridge but add more corn flour or barley flour and harden it it will be like…
‘It’s a delicious rice cake…’
It is a chewy and delicious corn rice cake with an attractive unique rough texture.
Cheese made from goat’s milk and a few herbs are added so it’s not boring either.
It was a great meal that would fill you up…
“It’s a good idea. Eating it like porridge is okay but eating it like this is different and keeps my hands full.”
“It was a part-time job in the past! “I learned it while working at an inn. It’s delicious to eat like this so I eat it often.”
“okay? This is my first time seeing this. Can you tell me which inn it is? “I want to visit and try it in person.”
“Oh it’s probably gone. It was so long ago.”
“okay?”
“Yes yes!”
···They’re criticizing me···
If you’re going to lie should you be more sincere?
‘I don’t know what he did before he was possessed but he definitely isn’t in the arts and physical education category…’
Then there would be no way to act so poorly…
‘This is spicy soup in a different way…’
Is it because she’s a romantic female protagonist?
Normally the guys who played romantic characters pretended to be thorough but they always got stabbed in the back and their intelligence rapidly deteriorated. Is this guy like that too?
‘It’s the same as the maid’s but what about this?’
Over there on one side Layra who choked while eating the rice cake because it was so delicious is running around looking for water scooping up water from a bowl and hitting her face.
You can just drink it. Does it have to be like that?
···It’s not boring to watch but as an acquaintance it’s embarrassing to show it to others…
“Is that person over there okay?”
“Just ignore it…”
“yes?”
“···You don’t have to worry because your health is great·”
“···Ah yes…”
Irene blinked her eyes and still looked at Layla with a curious gaze then felt Lee Han’s gaze and lowered her head again.
He looks like a poor sentient being who came to borrow money from a loan shark.
Seeing this Lee Han-eun…
‘Have I done something bad to him?’
Seeing Irene shaking like a kitten I even got the illusion that I had done something wrong and scratched the back of my head sheepishly.
* * *
Moving rice cake No it was not polite to just send away her neighbor who had handed over her moving polenta and since he did not know her Lee Han offered her tea and let her sit for a while.
Above all Irene herself did not show any signs of rejection or dislike.
Unexpectedly she sat down as if she had been waiting drinking her tea and almost eating the polenta she had brought with her.
It seems like he has good adaptability…
But maybe that’s why…
‘It’s suspicious…’
She’s honestly so lethargic that it’s suspicious ·
No think about it…
She has no contact between her and Lee Han.
Although Lee Han is in a situation where he must investigate an individual named Irene Windler that is something only Isis and Lee Han know…
However it is said that surveillance target number 2 suddenly moved into the house next door to him.
···The house was obviously empty the day before but they suddenly moved in so it was bound to be suspicious…
As his guard suddenly rose Lee Han quietly…
“Cadet Irene I’m sorry to ask about her personal circumstances but can I ask you a question?”
He decided to stab her ·
“yes?”
“I know you gave permission but why are you in such a secluded place? If you are an Irene cadet you can either use the dormitory or stay at the mansion owned by the Galahad family… As far as I know the Galahad family owns all 70% of the buildings near the academy…”
“····”
“I’m sorry if it was an awkward question…”
“Oh no it’s a question you can ask well but what…”
For someone who said she was fine Irene didn’t have a very bright complexion. Lee Han wondering if there was something going on increased her concentration without her knowing.
Didn’t she already see information about Duke Galahad a little while ago?
Another thing I don’t know…
What kind of damage is she suffering?
Or maybe she was kicked out of the dormitory because she came from a low class class…!
“-The application period for the dormitory was over before I even knew there was one and I decided not to use the Galahad Duke’s mansion because it was burdensome. To be honest I don’t want to be near that guy because he’s so tasty.”
“···?”
“No is that guy really weird? Every time I see those eyes I get goosebumps! She looks like a girl and her words and actions are shady! To be honest it feels like I don’t even want to get close? So I just refused everything that was offered to me. I wanted to refuse to get involved for no reason and… ah…”
“····”
“Would you like to pretend I didn’t hear anything?”
“···As much as you want…”
“···thank you·”
It seems like there was quite a lot accumulated…
It seems like he has a lot of antipathy towards the duke…
‘I had my own rational reasons…’
Some people may ask how there is a guarantee that it is all true but Lee Han is confident that it is not a lie or an act.
reason?
That’s right…
Cooung cooung·
Because the sound of the heart tells me…
Hearing that picks up the heartbeat more accurately than using a stethoscope.
He was willing to trust in his abilities which even Isis admired…
‘-He’s a bit clumsy but honest-’
After a little conversation Lee Han gauged what kind of person Irene Windler was.
It may be clumsy and lacking in some aspects but that is a common symptom among people in their teens and twenties.
The lack of experience and human relationships is still narrow.
In no way am I criticizing Irene I am just saying something that is extremely common sense.
Well he seems to have a habit of talking a bit clumsily and excessively but it’s okay to think of that as a mental illness that spellcasters inevitably have.
And at that level…
‘For an order-maker he’s a very normal person…’
Considering that 90% of order takers are psychopaths that’s not too bad…
Lee Han was somewhat biased toward wizards but he didn’t think he was wrong.
In fact 90% of the wizards he met were all psychopaths…
Although they all died by his hands…
“Uh huh!? “I suddenly felt chills…”
“Is the cabin cold? “I hope you understand. There are a lot of places that haven’t been repaired yet.”
“Oh it’s okay instructor. Please take care of me from now on. Now that I live so close I hope to see you often.”
“…Please take care of me too Cadet Irene Windler…”
Ho’s young hand extends first…
The only time Lee Han held hands with a spell caster was when he smashed the spell caster’s hand with a hammer or burned it with a torch but it felt strange to hold his hand normally like this.
Why do I sometimes feel the same way about holding a woman’s hand?
You shouldn’t judge whether an order taker is male or female…
How terrible these things are…
The mere fact that she is actually a magician has her feminine charm halved and as she may be the crazy duke’s adoptive daughter or her own daughter her anti-attractiveness becomes even more severe and turns into a negative for her.
Because as soon as you get involved it’s not a good thing…
‘He has a good heart just a good heart…’
No matter how many times a minus is multiplied by a plus it cannot become a plus.
···Above all·
‘···How many crazy people have you put down?’
Since the adoptive father was so mentally ill the minus number only increased.
Tsk!
He furrowed his brows and clicked his tongue as he felt the secret presence and smell increasing around the cabin.
─No homeowner would welcome hyenas wandering around covered in the scent of blood…
Meanwhile Irene Windler became more and more nervous and her body became stiff.
‘Did I make some mistake?’
[Irene cheer up! I have to somehow win the favor of the driver!]
‘···This is all because of you·’
She had no choice but to move because the knight instructor had been begging her all day to move to her side.
Oh she didn’t lie though.
Not only that I couldn’t get into the dormitory but I also hate that Duke…
I was just dissatisfied with not being able to go to a better home…
I don’t really like cabins but it was convenient and nice to stay in a luxury inn that was well-insulated and cleaned.
Is it because I know how she feels?
Irene looked sorry but…
[I’m sorry but it’s really good. Look at those muscles! How does it look like a piece like that? no! Even something carved from stone would be worse than that!]
Her regret was only for a moment · Here was a pervert who revealed her desires without hesitation ·
‘···low quality·’
[Ho can you just pretend it was a mistake and touch it just once? I really want to feel those muscles!]
‘···It’s easy to say that my social prestige should be thrown to the ground…’
[Muscles rather than social prestige!]
‘···shut up·’
Irene barely suppressed her sigh at the crazy remark of the ghost in my head that I couldn’t help but swear at.
However without realizing it she saw the body of the knight instructor…
She was wearing only a short-sleeved t-shirt with cutouts around her chest and the outline of her body was clearly visible.
Because of the ghost of her who keeps flexing her muscles and speaking openly my gaze is drawn without me even realizing it.
And confirming this…
‘Wow you definitely have good eyesight…’
With all my heart…
She said she was going to Gangnam with her friend and after hanging out with her friend for 7 years even her tastes in food and clothes became similar.
···Even men’s tastes···
