Three Meals of a Reincarnator Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Chapter 244

“Sir, I see the forest,” said Ho Sung Lee as he pointed ahead of him.
Like he said, there was a large forest past the dry land in front of them.
According to the system map, that forest was called ‘Pios’.
But after seeing the map through the quest, they saw that that forest was the Dark Elf Forest that they had been looking for.
Thanks to the quest, they found it pretty quickly.
Since they found the location, it wouldn’t be long before he completed the quest.
Min Sung pulled on his reins and slowed down the horse.
“Let’s eat first,” said Min Sung.
In response, Ho Sung Lee stopped under a tree and began preparing the meal.
He took out water from the item window and immediately called Bowl.
Since Bowl’s dark magic was powerful, he could quickly cook the food without burning the pot.
“It won’t take long, Sir,” said Ho Sung Lee with a smile.
“Get to work.”
Min Sung then rested his back against a tree and took a rest.
Min Sung looked at the lifeless ground in front of him and felt the wind blowing through the forest.
Min Sung closed his eyes. He listened to the sound of nature and waited for Ho Sung Lee to finish cooking.
A moment later, he heard something boiling, followed by a savory smell.
‘What could it be?’
He made guesses with great anticipation, but he had no idea.
There was a smell, but it wasn’t so clear that he knew exactly what dish it was.
‘Don’t be impatient.’
All he had to do was check with his eyes later.
Grumble!
His stomach made a loud noise.
It was natural since he hadn’t eaten in a while.
But in the Demonic Realm, such sounds didn’t even exist.
Once a person starved for too long, they got used to that state.
Min Sung opened his eyes and rubbed his belly.
“Sir, it’s ready.”
Min Sung looked back at Ho Sung Lee with surprised eyes.
“… Already?” Min Sung asked.
Ho Sung Lee smiled and nodded with confidence.
“Help yourself.”
He pointed at the dish on top of the table.
Min Sung got up and walked toward the table.
Ho Sung Lee pulled out a chair for him.
He sat down.
As soon as he did, he saw a green forest all around him.
Chirp, chirp!
The sound of birds could be heard, and the forest was filled with the sound of grass bugs.
Meanwhile, Min Sung looked down at his food.
“It’s short rib soup,” said Ho Sung Lee in a clear voice.
Just as he introduced, the dish was short rib soup.
Short rib soup, along with white rice.
There was also a small green onion pancake which was made with peppers, onions, soy sauce, pepper, sesame seeds, broth, sesame oil, garlic, and sugar.
Lastly, radish kimchi.
Those were all of the dishes in front of Min Sung.
Ho Sung Lee’s meals prepared in the great outdoors were always simple.
Min Sung picked up his spoon with great focus.
The broth of the short rib soup was milky.
It almost looked like a baby’s skin.
Within the broth, he saw short ribs, and on top of that were sprinkled green onions, making him want to stir it immediately.
Min Sung got a spoonful with great anticipation.
He then put it straight into his mouth.
Slurp! Gulp!
As soon as he drank the broth, Min Sung’s eyes jolted wide open.
“…!”
‘It’s delicious.’
It was soft, sweet, and deep.
The scent from the short ribs teased his nose.
In addition, the hot temperature of the stone bowl caused the food to warm up his entire body.
The broth was phenomenal.
‘How can broth be so milky, sweet, and soft, all at the same time?’
In awe, Min Sung put some pancakes on top of a spoonful of rice and put it into his mouth.
He then took another sip of the short rib soup.
The way the noodles and mushrooms chewed in between his teeth was a work of art, but the highlight was the milky short rib broth to top it off.
Followed by the green onions, and broth, the meat, which fell off the bone, put him in a complete trance.
Min Sung picked up the stone bowl with both hands and drank the broth.
Slurppp!
The deep flavors of the broth were as refreshing as the streams of a valley.
“Kya.”
Min Sung exclaimed out of satisfaction. He put down the stone bowl and put his bowl of rice into the broth.
He mixed the rice with the soup and proceeded to take a bite of the mushroom, rice, and broth, all at once.
The short rib soup danced around the inside of his mouth.
Min Sung was completely entranced in the hot and dense soup.
***
“I know I made this, but it’s actually delicious.”
Ho Sung Lee tasted the short rib soup as well.
Although he made it himself, he understood why Min Sung was so obsessed.
That was how good the short rib soup was.
Short rib soup enjoyed in the middle of a forest in Beatrice.
It was perfection.
They could accurately sense the heat and the filling nature of the meal.
The power of food was immense.
“Let’s go in.”
“What about the horses…? Should we just abandon them? But that would mean the monsters would kill them. Hm…”
Ho Sung Lee looked at the horses with pity.
At that moment, Ssol ran over and pointed at the horses and then his golden pouch.
“Huh…? You want to put them in there?”
Ssol nodded.
“Does that work? They’re not items…”
Before Ho Sung Lee could finish, Ssol opened his golden pouch.
The golden pouch immediately transformed into a large bundle, and it wrapped around Ho Sung Lee’s horse, causing it to disappear.
“Wow!”
Ho Sung Lee clapped in awe.
“That’s crazy, Ssol! Haha!”
Min Sung smirked, and Ssol shook his butt in response to the compliment and put Min Sung’s black horse into his golden pouch as well.
Ssol beamed a bright smile.
Ho Sung Lee gave Ssol a thumbs up and clapped.
Min Sung smirked and began walking.
“Let’s go in.”
“Yes, Sir!”
Ho Sung Lee, who was in a good mood from the meal, answered with a cheerful shout.
Min Sung led the way, followed by Ho Sung Lee and Ssol.
Bowl poked his head out of Min Sung’s pocket and glanced around.
The paths in the forest were convenient for people to walk through.
They also saw footprints that appeared to be from humans, but they were a little smaller than usual.
Min Sung tilted his neck and did a light stretch.
After riding on the horse and killing monsters here and there, Min Sung’s condition was at around 99%.
And after that meal, his condition reached 100%.
The only problem was that he couldn’t see a single monster, let alone a dark elf within the forest.
It almost felt like an abandoned forest.
The only proof that there was still life within the forest was a monster that looked like a jaguar and a snake that hung from a tree.
He wondered if the quest would take longer to complete than he expected.
He thought finding the forest was the hardest part, but there seemed to be a reason why this quest was a special order.
The dark elf’s name suggested that it was a species that preferred darkness.
It would have been weird if it could be easily seen.
“Ho Sung.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Use your supporter ability to find the dark elf. Do whatever you have to.”
Ho Sung Lee breathed heavily. He glanced around and nodded.
“Yes, Sir.”
“Don’t take too long.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Ho Sung Lee then unleashed his supporter ability.
“Should I look for it, too?” Bowl stuck out his head from Min Sung’s pocket and asked.
“Wait until I say so.”
Bowl yawned and stuck his head back into Min Sung’s pocket.
Min Sung didn’t plan on just idling by either.
He lightly kicked against the ground and jumped upward.
Min Sung bounced into the air like a ball.
Min Sung looked down at the forest from the air.
He intensified his senses, but he couldn’t find anything.
Min Sung landed back on the ground and clicked his tongue.
He didn’t want to be bothered, but he had no choice but to run by foot.
***
Ho Sung Lee had many abilities as a supporter.
And quite a few of them could be used in the current situation.
There were many types of shadow skill as well, and he also had a spirit spell similar to that of Bowl, and he could use 8 different types of shadow chase skills.
A dark shadow appeared from Ho Sung Lee’s hand, and as soon as he tapped the ground, the shadow charged forward like a bullet.
While the 8 dark shadows searched for their target, this shadow would send a signal up into the air.
Since it searched at a speed that was much faster than that of Bowl’s spirit spell, it consumed a lot of magic power, but it also showed to be very useful as a result.
After launching his 8 shadows, Ho Sung Lee began to prepare a new skill.
It was a trap.
Since it was a trap made of magic power, it was transparent but effective.
Once something got caught in the trap, their magic abilities were suppressed, and it acted so quickly that it was almost impossible to escape it.
Ho Sung Lee moved quickly and used up all of his magic energy on the trap while leaving just enough to use on the additional shadow chase skill.
Since these skills were perfect for use in a forest or jungle, Ho Sung Lee believed that he could finally shine as a supporter this time.
Ho Sung Lee’s eyes sparkled as he continued to install the magic traps.
He installed a total of 200 traps.
After installing all of them, Ho Sung Lee brushed off his hands and smirked.
‘Just you wait, dark elf.’
‘I’ll find you at lightning speed, once and for all!’
His heart pounded with excitement at the thought of finally being able to prove his worth as a supporter.
Ho Sung Lee caught his breath, and with both excitement and nervousness, he waited for the dark elf to be caught by either his traps or shadows.
