Acquired the EX-class attribute ‘Transcendence Copy’

17 – Ceremony Begins!!!

From noble mtl dot com

Sarah’s invitation, Chef Bart’s sudden attack, and Ralph Leoris’ appearance.

This sequence of events was exactly what I expected.

If your friendship level is 20 or higher, you will be invited by Sara with a certain probability, and if you raise your cooking skills to level 5 or higher, you will be challenged by Bart the Chef. And when you visit Leoris Mansion for the first time, you meet Ralph Leoris.

Every situation is a case that I faced once in the original game. As a legend route rotten water, I have seen countless times.

However, the part I didn’t know about here was the existence of Arsha Sword Horn.

‘Was there a route where Arsha was invited by Sara in the original route?’

Looking at the rotten water that I don’t remember, it’s clear that it didn’t exist. Sarah Leoris and Arsha Swordhorn become friends in the middle and latter half of the story.

Until then, they were two people who did not mix in casual conversation unless it was about a duel. It is common for Arsha to tick-tick a few words, and Sarah responds back. She remembers that even after becoming friends, there was no event where she invited the other person.

‘Isn’t that exactly the same as the legend route I know?’

I don’t know

A route I don’t know.

And the ending I don’t know.

My heart races.

The appearance of new content always thrills the heart of the deceased. More than the anxiety of choosing the wrong option, the longing for a new future excites me.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Ralph Leoris. People undeservedly call me the sage of disclosure.”

You can feel the strong energy in your voice.

Soft eyes that show kindness and wisdom.

A tall man reminiscent of a lion with a red mane introduced himself by putting his hand to his chest. It feels surprisingly light to be the head of the Leoris family who can shake the kingdom with just one word, but the strong spirit felt in him tells us that he is a different dimension from the criminal.

Arsha Sword Horn jumps up from her seat.

“It is an honor to meet the sage of redemption in person. I am Arsha Swordhorn, the humble daughter of the Swordhorn family.”

The perfect etiquette that makes the voice of nobility burst forth.

It’s like being appointed a knight by the king.

Arsha Swordhorn introduced herself with knife-like politeness.

“These days, I only hear about the Swordhorn family. I heard that Lady Swordhorn is so strong and intelligent, but I can see it in person. For my daughter to bring such a famous friend. It’s a happy day.”

Ralph Leoris’ gaze goes out of Arsha Swordhorn and leads to Sierra. Sierra introduced herself properly while shrinking from the gaze of the greatest aristocrat in the royal capital.

“Sir, Sierra Grimkeeper. It’s a commoner. Thank you for inviting me to such a wonderful mansion.”

My voice is a little trembling, but I can’t help it against a great nobleman like Ralph Leoris. It’s a good self-introduction.

“hahahaha. It wasn’t me who invited them, but they disappeared. Rest in peace.”

As in the original novel, Ralph was not a person obsessed with status. With such power and authority, such benevolence.

How many people like that exist in real life?

“This is John Baker. I am also a commoner.”

I lightly bowed my head and said hello.

“What a handsome fellow! Hmm. Sarah, I’m surprised you brought a friend, but I never thought you’d bring a man. No way..”

“That’s not like that!”

At Ralph’s mischievous gaze, Sarah shook her head with a shriek.

“I invited you because your appearance in the entrance exam was impressive! It’s not like I have any personal feelings or anything! Daddy is such an idiot!”

At Sarah’s words, Arsha and Ralph’s gaze changed at the same time. In particular, Asya’s eyes are like sharp needles. It looks like you’re going to get stabbed sting

“Oh ho. I would like to hear more about it.”

Ralph stroked his chin and casually sat down. As he snapped his fingers, the chair that was missing suddenly appeared. As if it was taken out of the inventory.

Since the opponent is a sage of disclosure, no one is surprised to see him.

“Sarah Leoris. I want to hear more.”

Arsha gives Sara a deep look.

As if Sarah had said something she shouldn’t have said, she looked at me with a puzzled expression. It seems to be asking, ‘Can I talk to you?’. Well, it won’t happen. It’s not even my bad.

I nodded her lightly, and Sarah sighed and told me what had happened on her entrance exam.

Arsha’s hard expression changed sharply as she spoke. And the end of that gaze is towards me. Ralph, on the other hand, stares at me with a jelly-like face.

“I would have thought that such an element was hidden in the academy entrance exam.”

That was Ralph’s words. He is also an academy graduate.

According to the setting, only the ‘Witch of the Cross’ received a perfect score in the academy test. Even Ralph Leoris didn’t get a perfect score in the academy exam.

“Master! Haven’t you eaten yet? I will serve you a meal right now.”

Chief Bart looked at Ralph, who was seated, and said. Then Ralph lightly waved his hand.

“The rice is done. I want to eat something light like dessert.”

Ralph looked at me with a smile on his lips.

“Did you say John? From what I hear, you seem to be very good at making desserts.”

“Yes yes! John’s bread and pastries are amazing!”

Sierra cheered beside her. She doesn’t have that flustered look on her face that she showed at first. Sierra was this outspoken when it came to me.

“Lord, Master! There’s no way a blue kid like that could make a dessert that suits the master’s taste! Bart will serve you dessert in a minute. Didn’t Master always say my desserts were the best!?”

If you visit the Leoris family with a cooking skill level of 5 or higher, an Instant Cooking Showdown event will occur. Since there are useful rewards for raising the cooking skill level, it is an event that should not be missed if you want to create good impressions.

“I know the skill of the chef well. But, I’m curious about my daughter’s friend’s skills…. Aha! Then, you can do it like this. Both of them are making dessert. I will judge who made the tastier dessert.”

Ralph Leoris is enjoying the situation. His smiling eyes prove it. It was a lightness not befitting a great nobleman, but that was the charm of the character Ralph Leoris.

“Okay! I will prove that this bart is the only chef that matches the taste and taste of the owner!”

Bart uttered the same lines as in the original game. It’s quite scary how his eyes are burning.

“Dad! Invite guests and what are you cooking! John, ignore your stupid dad.”

Sarah was flustered and tried to sort things out, but I shook my head.

“No. Making dessert, I quite enjoy it.”

I can’t give up a salty reward.

With that feeling, the instant cooking showdown began.

The theme is dessert.

There are a total of 4 judges.

Sarah Leoris, Arsha Swordhorn, Sierra Grimkeeper, and Ralph Leoris.

In the original, it is a sight that cannot be seen by any route.

“A kid with no blood on his head touching cooking utensils in her kitchen. When I was doing the dishes, she couldn’t even dream.”

The kitchen of Leoris Mansion was luxurious. It’s just that the kitchen itself is bigger than our house. There are ten chefs, including Bart.

“I don’t even look after the lady’s guests.”

Bart said, her eyes flashing. When it comes to her field of specialization, she is a picky uncle with no compromises. That’s why his skills are that good, and that’s why he was able to become the exclusive chef of the Leoris family.

In the original game, Bart’s cooking skill level is level 10. For reference, my baking level is currently level 5.

There are three ways to beat Bart.

The first is to win an honest cooking competition. In other words, take a cooking skill level of 10 or higher and proceed with the Leoris Mansion visit event. This is impossible as my skill level is already 5.

The second is putting laxatives in Bart’s food. Then, Bart is fired from the Leoris family for serving food poisoning. And the rumor spreads far and wide in the capital, and he faces a miserable end as a homeless man on the street.

After walking through the back alleys, there is a certain probability that you will be attacked by ‘Raging Bart’. As for the reward, this is the saltiest route, but since the aftertaste isn’t a clean route, I’m not going to take the route this time.

The last one is to win the battle by making food with the ‘secret recipe’. This is the cleanest way to clear the ‘Sikgeuk’ event without reaching level 10 of the cooking skill.

“You can use any tool. Because the result will be the same anyway. Ha ha ha!”

Bart’s confidence was amazing. He doesn’t seem to think he’s losing. He’s right about it.

I slowly checked the kitchen utensils. It’s full of ridiculously expensive cookware and even more expensive ingredients. Luckily, we have all the ingredients we need for our secret recipe.

“Haa…. Daddy is such an idiot.”

Sara touched her forehead and shook her head.

Inviting guests and having them cook.

If the other person wasn’t a commoner, it wouldn’t be enough to spread gossip in the social world. Her father’s sudden action always made Sarah’s heart ache.

“hahahaha. Is it fun That way, doesn’t the Sword Horn Lady think so too?”

Ralph turned her gaze to Sword Horn, and she showed a puzzled look on her hard face.

Well, that’s a difficult question to answer.

From the perspective of aristocratic etiquette, Ralph’s behavior is clearly beyond common sense. However, it was impossible for her to boldly point it out in front of him.

“Miss Sword Horn. Ignore the stupid dad’s words. I really don’t know why people call my dad the sage of redemption.”

“…I get it.”

“Wow! To be hated by your daughter and her friends! It seems that this father’s heart is breaking like a cookie.”

Sarah Leoris was right. That man was truly a man who did not fit the nickname of a wise man at all. The powerful force felt at his first meeting seems to disappear like snow melting.

“You are a bit peculiar.”

At Sierra’s one word, Sword Horn nodded. From the point of view of commoners and nobles, Ralph Leoris was a man with a very unique character.

“The dish is done!”

An hour has passed since John and Bart entered the kitchen. The one who came out first was Bart with a confident expression.

From noble mtl dot com

“The dish I prepared is a chocolate soufflé cake.”

The dessert on Bart’s cooking cart was a fluffy soufflé cake with warm steam.

“This dish is the first dessert I served to the owner. My teacher always said that the basics are the most important. And this is my quintessential dish that encompasses all the basics I learned from Master.”

“The chef’s soufflé cake has never let me down.”

Ralph nodded with his arms crossed, helping Bart explain.

“Try it! Soufflé tastes best when warm.”

Sara, Arsha, Sierra, and Ralph raised their spoons together.

The cake was as soft as sheep’s wool and was so soft that even the slightest bit of chopsticks could cut it. Inside, sweet chocolate sauce flowed out like lava.

The sweetness of the chocolate and the texture of the cake match fantastically. It was by no means a dish with great craftsmanship, but it was the best cake with no flaws, just as Bart said to stick to the basics. If the world were different, I would have let out a sweet moan as my clothes were torn.

“You seem to have worked harder today. It won’t be easy to beat this dish.”

Ralph said with a smile. Just as the four of them finished tasting Bart’s cake, John came out of the kitchen.

“The order is good. The dessert I prepared is a cold dessert.”

There was an ice cream cup on John’s dessert tray. However, the color of the ice cream in it was a little unusual.

“That…. What?”

When Arsha tilted her head, Yohan replied with a confident expression.

“Mint chocolate ice cream.”
