I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 122

123

It’s late at night after a day’s work.

I decided to nibble on Jirgis’ horn as a late-night snack.

Originally, I wanted to drink beer with shrimp dumplings.

“Whoa.”

As I sighed, Seo Ji-han, who turned the chair upside down and sat hugging the backrest, chuckled.

– Just eat whatever you want. Isn’t that what you wanted to eat, shrimp dumplings?

“that’s right.”

– But why did you give it to Elfanis?

It had to be that way.

When I went to the dungeon to gather, Elfanis, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, came running to greet me.

He then took out some of the wrapped tree fruit and trimmed roots and invited me to try some.

Before coming in, Seo Ji-han had prepared me a zucchini soybean paste stew, stewed fish with various vegetables, and sikhye (sikhye) from which I don’t know when I drank it. I was very full, so I declined it.

And then I realized.

Their food situation is not that good.

‘Originally, there was a lot of usable farmland, so we chose only the best land, built a territory, and took refuge…’

After a long fight, all farmland was damaged and most of the ingredients for cooking were lost.

The resources that were judged as items by the system were relatively safe, but it was still inevitable that their diet would become poor.

After hearing that story and seeing the simple diet that looked like something that only squirrels would eat, tears came to my eyes.

In the end, I came out of the dungeon, scooped up a lot of food, and gave it to Elfanis.

It was a minor problem that it included things like shrimp dumplings and beer that I was planning to have as a late-night snack.

“I couldn’t just stay there.”

– But they even gave me the side dish I made…

Seo Ji-han muttered dissatisfied.

Was there anything you wanted to eat among the side dishes? But I made sure to check before giving it a chance.

“But I was looking through the fridge and saying, ‘Can I give you this too?’ “When I asked him, he said it was okay.”

– If you want to give it, give it.

“But why…”

– That and this are different. I worked hard to make it in the hope that you would eat it…

“Anyway, I can’t eat any food other than horns for the time being.”

He sighed again in silence.

Before going to Elfanis, Seo Ji-han said that the remaining materialization time was a waste, so he worked diligently to fill the refrigerator with side dishes. The

menu mainly consisted of difficult dishes that were difficult for his straw body.

Seo Ji-han He seemed very upset that all the side dishes he had made went to Elfanis.

After the materialization time ended, Seo Ji-han, who had been possessed by the straw doll, lingered sadly in front of the refrigerator even after returning from gathering. The

small straw doll opened the refrigerator door. The sight of him lowering his head helplessly was enough to make me feel sad.

– It would take four days to eat that horn, right?

“It could be shorter than that.”

– Then, I should have made some crab paste or something that needs to be aged. Once you eat all the horns, you can eat it right away.

Gejang? Did you just say crab paste?

You make it yourself?

“Do you know how to make something like that?”

When I asked in surprise, Seo Ji-han calmly nodded.

– It’s not that difficult.

At this point, I couldn’t help but ask. He

said he was really surprised when he made shrimp dumplings himself during the day and put them in the refrigerator. Making dumplings starts with the dumpling skin dough.

” “Why on earth are you so good at cooking?”

Yes, I hate to admit it, but Seo Ji-han’s cooking skills far exceeded mine. He

didn’t seem to be very obsessed with eating, but he could surprisingly cook a variety of dishes. Moreover, his ability to select menus was excellent.

– I’ve been exercising for a long time.

“Oh, I did. But what does that have to do with it…?”

– As a result, I naturally became good at managing my diet. Plus, before I became a hunter, I didn’t have money, so it was cheaper to cook at home than eat out. “But isn’t it usually cheaper to eat out? Once I buy something and cook, I throw away most of the leftover ingredients

. It either sprouted or rotted…”

When I was living in a semi-basement, my refrigerator became a small flower garden with all kinds of crops that had sprouted. I never thought I’d see potato flowers in the refrigerator.

Potato flowers that I found while emptying the refrigerator on the day I moved after the Kyrgyz destroyed my house with their horns.

‘Wow, look at this!’ I remember Seo Ji-han being surprised when I showed it to him.

Well, my experience of living alone is much shorter than Seo Ji-han’s, and once I start going to work, I quickly forget what’s in the refrigerator.

No matter how cheap it is to buy ingredients and cook them, it doesn’t apply if most of the ingredients are thrown away.

In the end, because I wasted money and didn’t want to grow plants in the refrigerator, I mainly filled my stomach with retorts or eating out, but Seo Ji-han often looked at me disapprovingly.

Anyway, I thought Seo Ji-han might have experienced something like that, but he shook his head resolutely.

– Because I exercise, I rarely eat a lot and throw it away. Moreover, he must have been quite talented, being able to make similar dishes that he had tried once.

“Really? Anything? “I thought things like that only happened in dramas.”

– Since I can roughly guess the ingredients, I try combining the rest to get it closer to the taste I remember.

“Actually, wouldn’t you have been able to achieve great success in the culinary field?”

– That may be true… but even if that’s not the case, my senses are basically sensitive. So I don’t really like being around other people. I’m especially annoyed by other people’s body odor.

I flinched at the mention of body odor.

That’s right. Then it must have been stressful to keep hanging out with me. I should have been more considerate of him.

“I didn’t even know that was happening. It’s better to have some personal space from now on…”

– No, there’s no need for that at all.

Seo Ji-han answered quickly, cutting me off.

I was worried that he might hurt my feelings, but I recommended it again.

“People who need time alone is important . “There are a lot of people around me like that, so I understand.”

– Moya. I’m serious. There’s no need to do that.

“But you’re stressed, right?”

– Me? No. You’re okay. Seo Ji

-han smiled slightly as he sat loosely in the chair.

Blinking his eyes slowly, he said once again.

– You’re okay.

If words have scent, I think what he just said had a caramel scent.

His words seemed to sweeten the room.

The air seemed to become so sweet that I couldn’t bear it and asked a question as if to break the mood.

“Why?”

I wasn’t really curious about the answer.

Seo Ji-han also looked like he knew that. He hugged the back of the chair even closer and slowly tilted his head.

“Why?”

The smile got even thicker and the meaningful gaze followed me.

My face got brighter.

I don’t know why anymore. I just like it.

“Ah ah ah, anyway, let’s eat the horn first. It’s too late, so I should eat some before going to bed.”

I quickly turned around and took out Jirgis’ horn.

– Eat it without sauce?

“I already brought it.”

The prepared sauce is a spicy cheese sauce.

I took it out of my inventory, squeezed it onto the horn, and took a light bite. Crunchy.

I consumed the horn of King Zirgis.

The number of S-class skills that can be inherited has reached the limit.

Add S-class skills. To acquire it, it is necessary to delete the existing S-class skill. When 100% absorption is completed, a special option < Enhancement > is activated.

Current progress 1%

Inheritable skill

〈S-Class Charming King Dazzle〉 (Active)

〈S-Class Charming King Curse: Paralysis〉 (Active)

A slightly different message than usual came

to mind. Skill reached its limit? What does this mean?

– What’s wrong?

Seo Ji-han asked worriedly, as if I looked a little strange.

I told him the contents of the message that just came to mind. He recited it.

Seo Ji-han seemed lost in thought for a moment.

Looking at his expression, it seems he didn’t know either.

In fact, it’s not common to have so many S-class skills.

According to Elfanis, even if you kill the boss monster, you can still keep the horn intact. It is said that it is rare to obtain a crown, and there are many cases where not even a piece of horn falls.

And after experiencing Jirgis, it was not easy to receive the crown from others.

The king and the king fight each other, and even if one side wins, there is a high probability of death. The King’s Horn must not have been looted.

That’s good. Even if the conversation breaks down, there’s a way to get the horn.

Although it’s a shame that you can’t infinitely increase your skills with the horn. If

you think about it, there’s a limit to the abilities you can increase with potions. It may be strange that there is no limit to the skill.

– First of all, don’t delete the existing skill. The skills you already have are a better combination for you than the dazzle and paralysis you just got. Seo Ji-han, who

made a quick decision, advised me. .

I also think the same thing.

This Jirgis skill had low utility. In particular, paralysis was a really close-range skill, so it was of no use to me. “If I had known it would be like

this, Seo Ji-han would have eaten it.”

I ended up wasting two S-class skills.

When I complained in frustration, he flatly denied it.

– No, he said special option enhancements would be activated. I was wondering if you could strengthen the existing skills, but you did well. I’m sorry for eating the magic stone, but I even got the horn. “ I can’t eat it.

“I don’t care.”

– I care.

I didn’t fight and backed off at that point.

Still, someday, if I find a boss with skills that match well with Seo Ji-han, I want to feed him. I guess I can eat

horns, right?

I feel a little uncomfortable seeing that he can’t eat potions. “I can’t check the Jirgis horn right away because I have already started inheriting it.

“Anyway, if this goes on, even if I get a new horn in the future, I will have to compare it with the existing skills.”

– I guess so. There are a total of five S-class skills you have right now, right?

“That’s right. Chungwangpo Chungwang Thunderstorm Mutation Sanctuary Barrier Saint’s Dignity. Five.”

– Among them, the one worth deleting is….

“Excluding the Chungwangpo and Chungwang thunderstorms. Both are very important.”

Seo Ji-han nodded and agreed.

The next one was the King Chung’s mutation.

“I’m holding off on deleting the Chung King’s mutation for now. Without this, the only way to sneak into a dungeon in the future is to make a fuss. It’s essential for infiltration.”

– That’s right.

When I first got this skill, I didn’t know I would be able to use it so well.

It’s an ability I really don’t want to have, but it’s so useful that it’s sad.

– What’s left is the saint’s dignity and the sanctuary barrier.
