168 Lesson 167
Gordon was in the mood for 10% of his brother's worries, 50% of Zophi's worries combined with his sympathy, and the remaining 40% against Sylvan.
"Why are you so stuck in the sylvan?
Aotea couldn't figure out why Gordon hated Sylvan so much in the first place. Sylvan, whom I met in person, was not otherwise a personality breaker, but rather had the thought of being kind to me. Also, Sylvan didn't overreact so far when the Gordon story came out.
"I was always compared to my brother..."
Gordon starts talking to the pounding.
I thought it would be better not to show her father's weakness. Deena was taking Milli out of her seat.
"My brother has been good at whatever he's done since he was a little girl, and I've always been after my brother's back. I was proud of that back then, but wherever I went, whoever I talked to, they compared me to my brother."
Gordon tells me to spit out my misery.
"My brother became an adventurer and I became an adventurer wondering if I would lose too, but even then, my skill didn't extend to my brother and I decided to lay my hands on the dishes I secretly liked. My brother was an adventurer, and I thought I'd never be compared again because I was a different field from a cook."
But Sylvan came in the same way.
Gordon nodded with a difficult face at Aotearoa's words.
"Why did you go after my brother?
That almost made me wonder, even if it wasn't Ethereum. It was unnatural that Sylvan, who was more successful as an adventurer than B-rank Gordon in the first place, would be a cook who wasn't used to it on purpose and who would make less money.
"That's apparently my fault."
Aeta frowns at Gordon's words.
"What do you mean?
"To be a cook, I was practicing cooking at a shop in the king's capital of the kingdom of beasts, where my brother came to eat meshi. He came to encourage me to work hard in different areas. So the chef instructed me to cook, and I sent it out to my brother."
Gordon speaks as he remembers the sights of the time.
"Then my brother..."
"Did you do it?
Gordon shook his head sideways at Aotearoa's words.
"He admired me. I've never eaten anything so good. I hear your brother was impressed, until then, you said you should eat food, right? That's what I'm saying, suddenly I get up and say it. I'll be a cook too! Holy shit."
Aeta was surprised with her mouth open for too much sudden expansion.
"I was also surprised at the sudden growth of my brother from there. It didn't take that long until my brother, who had never even grabbed a knife before, could work as a cook full of them."
I was somewhere proud of Gordon's face for saying that, and I could see how he didn't simply hate Sylvan.
"Well, from there, me and my brother were supposed to train at their respective stores and own them."
Hearing the story so far, Aeta had her doubts on her mind.
"Um, Sylvan could do anything and he showed that talent in the culinary field that Gordon was good at. I know, but I don't know why you hate Sylvan so much."
Now he was tilting his neck as Gordon armed himself to Ethereal's words.
"Hmm? I don't hate my brother. Instead, I even think it would be a shame to end that talent in such a despicable place."
"Then why did you make such a big noise in response to Sylvan's name?
Aotearoa asked the question because she heard a different answer than expected from Gordon's mouth.
"Uh, that's why I told you. It's been a while since I heard his name and he said he had blood on his head. Nostalgia, rivalry and a little jealousy when I was little got me excited to stick around."
"Oh, my God. I don't know."
There seemed to be no certainty as Aotearoa had thought, and he was relieved by it.
"Then can I talk to you about it?"
Aotearoa says it in such a way as to make it contain.
"What is it?
"We went to Dwarf's after we left the Beast Nation. I had a lot to do there, but that's fine. So I came back to the Beast Nation after a while. So I went to Sylvan's again."
"But?"
Aotearoa created a stockpile there, so Gordon urges ahead.
"We had a great queue at that time. Not as long as people don't get interrupted all the time during lunchtime."
"What!!
As Gordon gained momentum, Iss fell back and made a loud noise.
"Uh, what is it? Just keep the chair awake. Then I'll serve the Sylvan dish."
"Do you have one!
Gordon stuffs up to Ethereum in surprise, but Ethereum pushes back with his hand.
"I have one, I'll get it out, so just sit right in the chair"
"Wow, I'm sorry. So, what kind of cooking is that?
When he confirms that Gordon is in his seat, Aotearoa takes the dish that Sylvan cooked from his magic bag and puts it in front of Gordon.
"This is it. It was made for me when I left the Beast Nation, but it's the same as it was made for me because I put it in this."
"Ku, can I eat?
Gordon asked after comparing the food to Ethereal's face. Aotearoa nodded silently and urged him to eat with his hands.
Gordon, with permission, confirms his appearance, smell and carries it to his mouth.
"... Damn. It's delicious."
There is a grin on Gordon's face, who groaned pompously.
From there, the momentum was good and disappointing, and in no time the plates were emptied.
