Overgeared

News spread through Reinhardt that Grid was touring restaurants with a guest. How great was the guest that the king would personally guide him? People were curious about the identity of the guest, but there was no way to find out. Most of the so-called officials seemed unaware of the guest’s identity.

“What? He’s gone?”

News of the guest’s visit also flowed to Idan’s ear. Idan naturally prepared some dishes. It was the duty of the palace chef—not the official title, but Idan himself thought so—to serve the king’s guest.

“I prepared as many dishes as possible. Why?”

However, the guest left. It was absurd news for Idan.

“Hasn’t he been looking at restaurants all day? Isn’t he a guest who came to experience the unique food culture of the Overgeared Kingdom?”

“That seems to be the case.”

“Then why did he leave without eating my dishes?”

“...Maybe something suddenly happened and he was busy.”

Idan’s kitchen was called a ‘training center’ among the people. Soldiers and knights visited Idan’s kitchen to carry out the order of ‘raising their poison resistance.’ No one came to eat, but Idan didn’t know reality. He once turned away from the public’s appetite due to his strong artistic temperament, but hadn’t he compromised with the world these days? Idan started actively using the magic powder called salt and believed his cooking was enough to capture everyone’s taste buds.

“Hmm... Too bad.” This would’ve been an opportunity to let the guest know how great the cuisine of the Overgeared Kingdom was. Idan shook his head and grabbed the soldier who was withdrawing from the kitchen. “In any case, thank you for the news. I have nothing to give you in return, but I prepared a lot of food so enjoy it.”

“Huh? I have no training today... I have to do guard duty...”

“What does training have to do with this? It is lunchtime so eat before going.”

“I will be disciplined if I leave my station...”

“Huhu, look at this guy. Are my dishes so delicious that you don’t know how much time passes when eating them? If you’re really worried then I’ll remind you of the time. Rest assured and eat.”

“......”

Idan’s kitchen was larger than any other kitchen in the castle. It was used as a training center for poison resistance training so it was efficient for it to be large. This point seemed to ignite Idan’s illusion. Perhaps Idan believed his cooking was acknowledged, which was why he was assigned the large kitchen...

The soldier clicked his tongue at this thought before frowning and grabbing his stomach.

“Aaack, my stomach suddenly... Uhh... I’m going to skip lunch today and head to the bathroom.”

“All of a sudden?”

The soldier left before Idan could suspect anything. Facing the table full of dishes, Idan was forced to pack them into lunch boxes. He suddenly came up with a good idea.

‘I heard there are refugees in the nearby mountains.’

Mediah, Belto, Gauss, Rotemon...

As many as five kingdoms had perished in the last 10 years. The wars caused by humans and the invasions of the great demons created countless refugees. Most kingdoms were preventing the influx of refugees due to financial and security reasons, but the Overgeared Kingdom welcomed them.

It was an expression of confidence that they could handle any enemies mixed in with the refugees and the finances were being filled over and over by the raid teams of the Overgeared Kingdom. The most important thing for the new kingdom was to increase the population.
