Overgeared

La Dero was the best restaurant in Titan. The dishes were guaranteed to be of good taste and quality since they were presented to the empress.

Grid and Raiders sat down in a place where even the renowned nobles of the empire couldn’t visit without a reservation. There are no guests except for the two of them. The reason why they occupied the entire restaurant was because the owner was brainwashed by Raiders’ magic and drove out all the other customers. Then he brought the food over himself.

A sharp knife cut the meat without scratching the tableware. First was to dip it in salt, then pour the sauce and add the garnish. Ah, was this spice for eating with it?

Raiders enjoyed the meat in various ways and made a pleasant smile. “It maximized the flavor and savory taste by using so much parts it would seem the fat content is excessive. I felt that the acidity of the sauce balances it well. The most commendable part is the garnish. It melts the moment it touches the teeth and the thin layer of fried root vegetables makes up for the lack of texture.”

Grid mulled over it and said how he felt, “Just... it’s delicious.”

La Dero’s food was excellent enough to make Grid smile when he had been shrinking back after seeing Raiders’ destructive nature. He wanted to ask the chef of La Dero for a lunch box every day. It was surprising that Grid felt this desire when he ate rough bread when working or hunting.

‘The chefs at the Overgeared Kingdom’s palace are good, but they aren’t at this level. Should I hire a world-class chef?’

Damn Idan...

If Idan was good at cooking, then he wouldn’t have to worry about this.

Grid was grumbling when Raiders finished the desert and wiped his mouth with a napkin. “It was a delicious meal.”

[You have heard Gourmet Dragon Raiders say that the food is delicious! (1/60)]

The gourmet cycle quest was simple. Take Raiders to at least 80 restaurants and hear him say ‘delicious’ 60 times. Grid succeeded in hearing the word ‘delicious’ at the very first restaurant, but his expression wasn’t bright.

‘I was hoping for him to be happy...’

Appreciation beyond deliciousness. The quest stated that every time Raiders said he was ‘happy,’ there would be a special reward. Meanwhile, La Dero was a restaurant with great expectations. The restaurant that made authentic dishes for the empress was one of the best restaurants on the West Continent.

‘It will be hard to hear that he is happy in other restaurants when he didn’t say it at La Dero.’

Grid was filled with great regret. His expectations were so high that his disappointment was also big and his spirit was shaken. Then he soon controlled his mind. First of all, it was most important to succeed in the quest. Hidden compensation was just a secondary matter. Yes, all he had to do was clear the quest. He heard that it was delicious from the beginning so it was starting well.

Grid tried to think positively and turned his gaze outside the window with a smile. ‘I thought the level was going up too quickly...’

The VIP room in La Dero was the most popular room and it took one year to make a reservation. The magnificent view of Titan was like a canvas on the large window frame that occupied one entire wall of the VIP room. Inside that canvas was a statue of Grid.

A temple for the Overgeared God was established in the empire. Most of the people who witnessed the reality of the gods in the Drasion raid were from the empire, thus they converted to the Overgeared God Church.

‘There is no need to worship me just because they are disappointed in Goddess Rebecca.’

Apart from the gods of Asgard, there were many other gods. A prime example was Garion, the god of the earth. He was born from the aspirations of humans who appreciated and gave meaning to the earth. Garion was a god loved and respected by the people of the continent, even if he wasn’t from Asgard. He didn’t give off an absolute feeling like Chiyou, but it was true that Garion was much more famous than a newcomer like Grid.

‘There are so many other gods. Thank you for choosing me...’

The influence of Empress Basara and the dukes must’ve played a big role.
