31 – The Great Witch Likes Tteokbokki
Time passes and the club solicitation is one day ahead.
It’s a place to promote people to join the club, but the manager can’t just serve while leaving the cooking to the maid. In the meantime, after her class was over, she received special training from Ramina Sis.
Thanks to that, the dinner menu has been unified with tteokbokki for the past few days, and Aisha is happy and ate all of them, so it must be okay.
I felt proud for nothing because the news guy ate all the dishes I made for practice. Could this be the heart of a mother bird feeding her baby bird?
“This is for practice.”
She said, and when Herilda brought phoenix eggs with flame patterns and black truffles in boxes, she was taken aback.
‘That’s… Obviously two boxes of academy tuition…’
She stopped thinking.
Even that is just for practice. What the heck is the money sense of the nobility of this world…
Thanks to that, I ate enough to bite the very first day I saw the truffle. The egg of a phoenix, not a real phoenix, but the egg of a bird wielding flames, but it was quite tasty without being bitten.
As I was practicing cooking with Laminasis, Aisha came up to her with a plate.
“Tir~ I ate it all. Make something to eat together later as a snack.”
“Yeah, okay. I’ll make it soon.”
“Okay~!”
Practice makes perfect. And getting used to it is scary.
At first, I used only half of the truffles, shuddering, but later on, I ended up using them casually.
How much would a bowl of tteokbokki boiling in front of me…
[ You have achieved the achievements ‘If there is no bread, why not eat truffles’ and ‘What is it, give me back my eggs’. ]
[ You get a charm bonus stat. ]
You go with dill like a grain of salt, bastard.
The recipe for tteokbokki is so simple. I only practiced to bring out the taste of the sauce, and somehow I was able to get a passing grade from Laminasis. Well, now I think I’m pretty good at making it.
I said to Aisha, who clung to my shoulder and hummed a song that made her feel good.
“Anyway, don’t eat during class. Do you know how painful it was to hear the children screaming in agony from hunger?”
Over the past few days, Aisha took all the tteokbokki left over.
“Everything Tyr made is mine!!”
That’s all good, but they put the tteokbokki I gave them on the classroom table and ate while teaching.
I ate it while sitting on my lap, flapping my legs every time I took a bite, and letting out all sorts of deliciousness.
The eyes of the girls starving because they were on a diet were especially pitiful. If this is torture, then it is torture. How much do girls like tteokbokki?
It made me feel even more sad when I remembered the image of him secretly wiping away the drool that had still flowed out. Sure publicity.
“It’s Tyr’s fault for making it delicious. I couldn’t stand it!”
“Thank you for that.”
This really makes me speechless.
“Herilda gave me a list of club members today. Did you check it?”
“Not yet.”
I haven’t seen it yet because I thought it would be fun to check it on the same day.
“Huh~ I see.”
A feeling of foreboding ran up her spine as she watched Aisha squint her eyes and make her snort.
“Why? Is there anything wrong with it?”
“No, no! I’ll go first and I’ll be waiting for you, so bring it!”
“I’ll bake some bread and take it.”
I was craving bread because the base of this was a bit like pasta sauce.
But what was that just before? Is it because someone’s name is on the list of alternative clubs?
It doesn’t matter if it’s not for the ‘Lunatic Soul 2 bastards’. But they only appear under limited conditions, and they’re not even in the academy, so I’m not particularly worried.
Well, it must have been because of my mood.
I’m going to make it quickly and go have a drink with Aisha.

Before Tyr arrived, I carefully checked the list Herilda gave me. Seriously, I only picked names that startle people and wrote them down.
How come, from the time he gave me the list, he said he couldn’t see eye to eye. Still, I’m a little relieved that Tyr didn’t seem to be involved.
First of all, the name written on the top line is unusual.
1. Lacard di Barciar
In the Barshear Empire, those who can use this type of surname are limited.
Those who use the name of their country as their surname, that is, the imperial family. It is also the name of the second prince who is on the rise if it is Racard.
The man who raised his voice saying that we should send the strongest support during the frozen blood war.
After we finished the war and obtained a semi-permanent agreement with the Balaur, he was praised for his insight and the number of supporters increased at once.
I remember him as a pleasant boy with a cool personality.
First of all, after figuring out what gifts the kingdom and the holy kingdom gave Tyr, they threw more than twice as many gifts. I especially liked the fact that he cared about Tyr before me.
Above all, I like being a man! It means that Tyr doesn’t have to worry about being seduced.
But the problem is the other four.
2. Serien Garatroso
3. Tinyashif Shamilton
4. Nemenia
5. Myna Smitel
The two daughters of dukes of the empire who dominate the academy, the candidate of the saintess of the holy kingdom, and the youngest princess of the kingdom of Smitel. She only picked very prominent women.
The saintess candidate didn’t even enter the academy, and she had no reason to come here.
‘Are they coming after Tyr?’
There are plenty of possibilities. As soon as I accepted Tyr as a disciple, I ignored the advice of the Empire and tried to contact the Seongguk. At that time, rather, the Empire showed no interest in Tyr.
I tried to find out about Tyr so persistently that I cut off all contact.
How the hell did he know, after the ancient dragon letters were engraved on the back of Tyr’s hand, he became more explicit. If so, could you tell me why? They keep their mouths shut and ask me to meet them just once.
Would you show my precious Tyr to anyone just because you’re crazy?
‘But why is he here?’
And here, the person whose intention is the most unknown is ‘Maina Smitel’. Why is the youngest member of the Smitel kingdom going to the academy?
She is a woman who even struggles to walk for 5 minutes because of her illness. She understands that, of course, let alone the academy, she spends her days recuperating in the castle. But why is that person’s name written all over the list?
It was rather surprising that she didn’t have the name of Tyr’s sister, whom she had taken for granted. She asked her daughter a sneaky question, and she answered as if she knew how to ask.
“I couldn’t stop the princesses, princesses, and saints either. There’s no way her sister could intervene.”
It’s a pain in the ass. By now she must be wetting her pillow with tears, imagining her brother being taken away by high women.
She looked over her list again and she let out a sigh.
She asked me to exclude as many women as possible, but since she pushed me to the position, I thought that I couldn’t help but sympathize with her. Fortunately, I’m a torturer.
I will cut off the women who approach Tyr like a knife!
“Huh? Why are you doing a fighting pose by yourself? Something strong was conveyed.”
Suddenly, Tir opened her door and entered, looking at me and tilting her head. Oh my, I guess her will has sprung into action without even realizing it.
I sprinted to Tyr’s lap and sat down, laughing hysterically.
“Nothing! Hi-Hi!”
I know that what I’m doing doesn’t fit the Archwitch. But what about something good?
I didn’t know that I would end up like this. If I show my present self to the past me, I won’t even laugh because I’m dumbfounded.
Tyr smiled and stroked my chin gently.
It’s not even a cat, but it seems like it’s going to make a loud noise.
“It’s bland.”
With a glass of alcohol, I eat a dish made for me as a snack with the person I love. Is there any other luxury like this?
Until I met Tyr, I drank to soothe longing and boredom. How different is this?
‘As expected.’
Let’s forget about this time and fully enjoy this happiness.

“Sir. Are the preparations for the club invitation going well?”
“Yes, no problem.”
“Unlike the 2nd semester festival, access to outsiders is limited, so it’s a little better. While the Vice Principal took care of the High Witch’s affairs, I took care of most of her affairs.”
The principal grinned at me once and went back to his seat.
If you look at it this way, your heart is only a bit small, but he is also a person with excellent magic and enough ability to be the academy principal. If you just fix that timid personality, you might be able to aim for a high-ranking position.
‘Still, I’m glad the Archwitch didn’t get angry…’
Even though I told her to get rid of her obsession, she refused as much as a female student. I was genuinely worried when I saw a few cases where people around me were obsessed with it and hated it.
But as she gathered the applicants for this club, she realized that his worries were not for nothing.
A whopping 90% of the total applicants were female students.
In the world, even though the archwitch herself threatened her by showing such a dangerous performance. I wonder if I could do anything with this level of determination.
Of course, I will admit that Count So is a handsome, talented, and strangely attractive man.
But isn’t your life more important than that? There are so many fire moths that are attracted to a man and jump into the flames themselves.
‘The Archwitch must be worried.’
At first, I felt sorry for the Archwitch’s obsession with Count Peirosis So, but now I feel more sorry for the Archwitch, who has to pay attention to the approach of other women.
‘But why me?’
Since the last time I suggested that you should not be too obsessive and create a club to broaden your friendships, contact from the Archwitch has increased.
It seemed like he started to believe me that I had given him dating advice.
Once or twice a day, they ask questions like ‘Wouldn’t you hate it if you pushed it too openly?’, ‘Are there guys who like long skirts?’, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to have a woman who can cook well?’.
It’s embarrassing.
‘I… I’ve never dated a guy yet.’
I was genuinely perplexed.
Isn’t she a great witch with a selfish appearance who can charm half of the world if she puts her mind to it? Every time I ask for my opinion, I feel indescribably deceived.
She thought that her life was dedicated to the sword anyway, but seeing the quality of close-range love right next to her, her eyes kept going.
‘Should I find a suitable man too?’
If the Archwitch’s question starts to get too much for you, you should seriously think about it.
