System vs Rebirth

Noel could only grit his teeth when he realized that his plans didn't work against her. He never knew that the Noel in the previous life had utilized all that strategy to trick her.

In the end, Noel built the tent while Anna cooked their dinner.

*Growl!*

While he was building the tent, the aroma from Anna's dish was carried by the wind to his nose. It was a sweet and warm smell that somehow incited his stomach.

"…" Noel was surprised by the reaction of his stomach and even slapped it a few times as if it had embarrassed him. When he glanced at Anna, the latter felt his gaze and chuckled. It was clear she was laughing at his reaction.

Still, he couldn't help but remember all the meals until now. Compared to the meal in the barrack or the barely edible meal he cooked in the previous test, this meal was far too peptizing.

In fact, the smell alone could reach the professional chef in the Ardagan House.

'How can she be this good? She is a noble lady, right? A noble lady should only learn about etiquette… There's no way she's allowed to go to the kitchen. Even if she is an eccentric woman, she should be too occupied with her training.' Noel had so many doubts in his mind, but the smell didn't lie.

Anna took out two bowls and poured the soup she made into them before extending one to Noel. "Here you go. Oh, wait. Wash your hands first in the lake."

"…" Noel bit his lips. Although he didn't want to admit it, the food managed to tempt him.

The soup had a yellowish color. It was filled with Demon's meats that were similar to that of an animal's meat. There were some potatoes scattered around and Anna even prepared a hard bread for him. A hard bread was usually used for survival because they could last longer and if you poured boiling water into it, the bread would be soft enough for easy consumption.
