208 – Late Night Snack for Derkeman
“… Derke? Don’t play around and come out here!”
ㅡ Uh-huh… ….
My voice resonates inside the break room.
Because it is the middle of the night, it stretches far.
But there was no answer.
“Derke? Don’t play around and come out…… !”
I kept calling Derke’s name.
To find the one who suddenly disappeared.
However, I couldn’t even scream as hard as I could.
Because I could have been caught by the security department if I made too much noise.
“… This is crazy Where the hell did you disappear to?”
I looked around, but there was no trace of Derke.
Even the ghosts that were dimly illuminating the inside of the kitchen had disappeared.
It was even more difficult to find Derke as the surroundings became dark.
「Nyorolong… ?”
Only one specter that Derke had attached earlier followed me.
‘Could something happen to Derke? If not……. Did someone patrol the break room while I was down in the corrosion warehouse?’
ㅡTurb, tumble, tumble… !
I quickly got out of the kitchen and walked around.
Then, I looked all over the inside of the break room.
Take the one remaining ghost with you to every nook and cranny.
To find Terke, who might be hiding under the table.
Are you playing hide and seek in the middle of the night?
Although it was so unexpected,
I rather hoped it was a trivial joke.
Because I didn’t even want to imagine what would happen to Derke.
‘Still, nothing happened to Derke… ….’
If it was an emergency,
Like last time, the specter must have reacted first.
It must have gone right back to Derke, just like when it encountered a monster.
“Then where did you disappear to? Maybe on the second floor?”
After looking at all the seats on the first floor, I muttered to myself in anxiety. I thought it must be nearby, but I couldn’t find it even after searching the entire first floor…….
Of course, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
「Nyorolong~」
On the other hand, the specter just floated in the air with a calm look, the complete opposite of me. Even though his owner had disappeared, he seemed so relaxed.
A reaction that contrasted greatly with the monster’s appearance.
“… Oh right! Hey you there.”
「Norong… ?”
“Do you know where Derke is? Guide me.”
「Nyo, Nyorolong…… ?!”
As if surprised by my sudden question,
Restless and shivering.
There was something called bewilderment in the specter’s bewildered expression.
‘As expected… …. I knew it.’
Until just a while ago, he followed my instructions and illuminated the dark places well, then suddenly he pretended not to know by shaking his round body.
“It comes out that way, right? Then there is nothing you can do Black dragon?”
「Nyoryonglong-?!」
A black specter that pokes its head out of its chest as soon as its name is called.
Yes.
If Derke’s ghost doesn’t listen,
I was going to use my book, Black Dragon.
“Find the location of Derke.”
「Nyororyong-!」
A black dragon that appears immediately upon my instruction. The guy nods his head vigorously at me.
Perhaps because her loyalty level increased, she was obediently following my orders without having to cumbersomely raise a sword.
「Nyorolong…… !”
Black dragon flies toward the kitchen.
While making a confident voice.
As if it was never difficult,
There seemed to be no hesitation whatsoever.
“Huh? Why in the kitchen… ? Didn’t you look around properly earlier?”
I followed the black dragon in dubious doubt.
And as we got closer to the kitchen…….
ㅡ Dalgrak, Dalgak… !
I hear a small sound like something like bowls colliding periodically.
The source of the sound was none other than the underside of the kitchen table. Just in time, the black dragon pointed to a corner and nodded.
Then I bent down and looked down… ….
“Derke?”
I see a green-eyed girl squatting.
“Whoa, whoa… ? De, I was caught-?!?!”
Derke, who met my eyes, jumped out with a startled voice. With black things smeared on his fingers.
I never thought I would hide in the kitchen because it was dark under the lamp……. I really couldn’t imagine.
“… Derke? What were you doing here And why did you stay quiet when I called you earlier?”
“That, that’s why… …. Rice, no big deal, yap-!”
“Isn’t it a big deal? Do you know how surprised I am?”
The guy hides his hands behind his back and looks embarrassed. Something suspicious
“Mi-sorry… …. Derke is just… Oh, I wanted to play hide-and-seek with my brother… ! That’s all yap-! hehehehe…….”
Derke let out an awkward laugh.
It wasn’t the usual bright smile.
Originally, he was a guy with a lot of laughs, but
Right now, something was very unnatural.
To gloss over the situation… It looked like a smile he was making to get over it.
“What is hide and seek? Besides, what else is that in your hand? I saw it all before.”
ㅡ Tub Seok!
“Whoah… ?! This, this is so…… !”
Grabbing Derke’s wrist, which he hid behind his back, and pulling him, a sweet smell emanated from him. A thick black liquid flowed from his fingertips.
“What is this? Chocolate… ? You can’t…… ?”
“Ah, nothing Death-! What would you do without your brother knowing—”
“If you are that hungry, tell me. Were you secretly eating chocolate?”
Under the circumstances, this seemed to be the correct answer.
I must have been hiding because I was afraid they would be found out on the way.
To eat them all until I find them.
“Ah… ? Ah, uh… Huh! No, that’s right-! My stomach, I was so hungry that I was secretly hiding and eating… !”
But he still stuttered.
“Ehehehe…….”
Even while letting go of a shy smile.
Although I received an ambiguous answer,
I still couldn’t erase the impression of hiding something.
“Something is suspicious…… ?”
“Sin, I’m sorry. Disappeared without a word…….”
“Fu, that’s it. Are you okay. Why are you hiding with something like that? You were surprised.”
“That, but… ….”
Derke looks slightly teary-eyed when I look suspiciously at him. Looking at this expression makes me feel sorry for asking further questions.
“I don’t scold you for just that. So wash your hands and sit quietly. I’ll make something delicious right away.”
In fact, there were many things I wanted to ask,
I didn’t want to ask too much.
It must have been because he was very hungry.
Besides, he’s not the kind of guy who would secretly plot things with such an innocent face.
“Ugh, ugh… ! Oppa is also a friendly desseuyong-! Derke is sitting quietly over there, yap… !!”
ㅡFriday… !
Derke gets away from me as soon as I let go of her hand. Strangely, he was deliberately approaching a table far away from me.

Jeop, let’s not pay too much attention to each one.
That’s how you react to guilt.
And if you have other plans, it won’t be a big deal.
Because he wasn’t the kind of guy who would do anything bad.
“Anyway, now that we’ve found Derke, shall we start making it in earnest?”
*
ㅡHwijeok! Whijeok! Whijeok!
Black Dragon works hard to move the whipper.
The other ghosts also knead the dough separately.
I was commanding the two ghosts that have now become my followers at the same time.
To make different dough.
I will explain later how to make two types of dough. It’s all useful, so I’m making it in advance.
Originally, I was going to use the dough left after frying the sweet and sour pork, but I decided to make a new one because I thought the amount would be insufficient.
“Okay, the dough is going well, so I should move too, right?”
Anyway, it’s convenient because the number of workers has increased.
If I had been alone, I would have hung on to the dough.
The reduction of simple repetitive tasks has greatly increased the amount of time available.
ㅡSuddenly! Abruptly… !
I trimmed the rest of the ingredients with a knife.
First, cut the sausage in half.
I also cut the additional mozzarella cheese to a similar length.
I didn’t need that much.
Because we only had to prepare Derke and me.
Besides, the recipe I am making now is quite simple.
“Now, the last stone-hard dried bread… ….”
ㅡSureung… !
ㅡ Standing and sitting…… !!!
I sliced the bread finely with a single knife.
To make fine bread crumbs.
Again, as I hold the knife, my hand moves by itself as I think of it in my head.
If it was like before, the knife wouldn’t have gone in well.
‘Oh, I never thought it would be like this? I only tried it once because it was annoying to grind it with a mortar…….’
Now it’s not that surprising.
ㅡBardle, Bardle, Bardle…… !
Only the black dragon shuddered in shock. He still shuddered when I grabbed the knife.
“Anyway, since the dough seems to be finished, shall we turn up the heat?”
ㅡDalkak!
As soon as I finished preparing all the ingredients, I turned on the fryer.
“… Guys? When the dough is done, can you bring it here?”
『Nyolong-!』
The guys who gather in front of me with just one word.
The bowls carried by the ghosts contained different doughs.
One was slightly runny,
The other dough was thick like bread dough.
The dough was just what I wanted.
‘Okay, let’s finish the rest of the process quickly while the oil temperature rises.’
Reflecting on my mind to end it all at once…….
ㅡTurn Up!
I picked up a wooden skewer for skewering.
