Cale closed the reception room door as he recalled what Sheritt and Raon had said.

'Cale. We will finish our conversation as quickly as possible, so go visit the World Tree.'
'That's right! Oh, human, I'm coming with you!'

They would go meet with the World Tree as quickly as possible.
Cale walked down the hallway and looked around to see where the others were located.

The chances of Choi Han and the Dragon half-blood being together were high because he told them to go elsewhere. Cale was looking for the two of them and soon managed to find them.

"...What are you doing?"

Cale looked toward Choi Han and the Dragon half-blood as if he saw something odd.

"Ahem. Cale-nim, you see..."

Choi Han had a rare anxious expression and tried to scratch his cheek before stopping.
Choi Han's hand was covered in white flour dough.

Cale could see the flour dough.
The dough looked like a weird slime as if they had made a mistake with the ratio of flour to water. Anything they make with that would end up as a failure.

"Ahem."

And then there was the Dragon half-blood who quietly let out a fake cough.

"...And what the hell are you doing?"

The Dragon half-blood was using his sleeve to wipe away his teary eyes.
...He was peeling onions.

"I'm...really sorry."

Seeing the Dragon half-blood saying he was sorry in a depressed tone put Cale at a loss for words again. This bastard was difficult to deal with in a different way than Guardian Knight Clopeh. This bastard's talent for making people be at a loss for words was amazing.
Cale found it more difficult to deal with the Dragon half-blood than that crazy bastard, Clopeh.

"Ha!"

Cale could only scoff in response.
The Dragon half-blood peeked at him and cautiously continued to speak.

"I came to the kitchen to do anything I might be able to do. I was going to ask Beacrox for something to do, but he wasn't here. That was why I thought I might as well prepare some ingredients."

Cale's gaze headed toward Choi Han.

"...I was just trying to cook something."
"What were you trying to make?"
"...Sujebi." ( Korean style pasta soup. )
"What?"
"...I thought it was one of the rare dishes that all of the ingredients could be found here......"

Cale started to frown.

'Sujebi? That sujebi from Korea? He wanted to make sujebi with that kind of dough? It looks more like he's going to make flour porridge than sujebi.'

"I thought that it would take a while for Beacrox to get a response from the Lord's Castle once he got to Harris Village. But On and Hong said that they were hungry when I went to look for Lock earlier."

It would take long for Beacrox to come back, but On and Hong had told Choi Han they were hungry.
Lock and the children who had been training would be hungry as well.

Choi Han was going to ask others for help, but Cale, Sheritt, and Raon all looked to be part of a serious conversation. There was definitely something going on involving the Dragon half-blood, but the tense atmosphere made it difficult to ask.

In the end, Choi Han had been keeping an eye on the Dragon half-blood who was prepping ingredients before touching the flour that he noticed.

"...I guess I have no talent in cooking."
"...I'm sorry. I was trying to help Choi Han and prepped the ingredients as he told me to do. But I am not used to this."
