I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

255 – Something Surprisingly Important to a Ghost

The morning at the Academy was busy again today.

Of course, I went to work as soon as I woke up today.

Maybe it’s because a lot happened yesterday, but my body is still sore.

‘When was the last time you slept properly?’ … ?’

-Whoop… !

When you’re tired, strong coffee is the best medicine.

Hot coffee warms the esophagus.

Heat transfers energy to the body.

As if petroleum was injected.

The feeling of caffeine immediately spreading through the blood vessels and awakening the whole body.

ㅡExciting! Exciting! Exciting!

Thanks to this, not only the human heart,

The accumulated dragon hearts wriggle.

It feels like a strong power like a dragon is rising from within.

Thanks to morning coffee, my eyes open and my fatigue goes away.

“Well, anyway, I’m glad nothing happened after that. Even thinking about it again makes me dizzy.”

After emptying my coffee cup, I muttered under my breath.

After the commotion that occurred during dawn,

I slept well with Derke and woke up without any problems.

But the problem was the wake-up time.

I don’t know if it’s the aftereffects of leaving the body,

I fell asleep so peacefully.

If the black dragon hadn’t voluntarily jumped out and woke me up in the morning, I probably wouldn’t have woken up.

If I had done that, the entire school would have found me sleeping with Derke.

‘If something like that happened…’

Just imagining it is dizzying.

The rumor must have spread throughout the academy.

If that were the case, future plans would have been disrupted.

“Thank you, Black Dragon. Thanks to you, I got to work safely this morning.”

ㅡPat, pat… !

“Nyorurung… !」

Black Dragon, who is working hard to prepare ingredients for me, makes a happy cry.

In this case, it is a formless ghost and materializes its appearance like a ghost. To feel my touch properly.

It feels like caring a drug pillow filled with chewy cotton. Once you put your hand on it, it is difficult to take it off.

The taste of being stroked that much…

「Nyorongrong… !!!」

“Huh?”

When I was petting the black dragon like that,

Another ghost shouts from the side.

It was a very sulky voice.

ㅡTeomeok… !

He even let go of the dough he was kneading and declared a strike.

“Hmm? What? “What’s wrong with you?”

「Nyorong… ! “Nyorolong!!!”

“Oh, don’t discriminate and ask me to pet you too?”

-Nod! Nod!

A guy nodding his body vigorously.

I guess I understood correctly.

I just inferred from the circumstances, but I never thought this would be true.

The reason for the rebellion was simpler than expected.

I guess I was only too partial to the black dragon.

When I ask him to do dough or other chores, he doesn’t say anything and then gets upset when I pet him…

It seems like a ghost that came over from Derke.

I never thought I would get jealous over something trivial.

This is ridiculous, but at the same time cute.

“Yes, yes. “I haven’t been able to pay attention to you all this time, I’m sorry.”

「Nyororolong… !!!」

“Do you want me to pat you instead of just saying it?”

「Nyorongrong-!」

“Okay. I’ll pat you too, so stop getting angry. Although I haven’t been able to tell you in person, I’m always grateful. Thank you for always being a great help.”

ㅡUgh, swoosh… !

「Nyorong, Nyororong… !」

Let me express my gratitude and pat you,

The guy makes pleasant noises.

It was a simpler reaction than a dog that likes people.

The ghost’s wind was truly worthless.

As soon as he touches his hand, he puts on a bright expression.

And then he felt my touch a few times…

ㅡTough… ! Tribute… !

Work begins again by adjusting the dough containing a large amount of butter. As if I was satisfied with this.

It is a truly cost-effective labor force.

I can’t believe I’m so satisfied with just this.

Probably nothing feels better than receiving praise from one’s owner.

If they like this, I should give them a proper reward instead of praising them.

“Like you said, you can’t discriminate.”

「Nyorong-?」

“I used my giantism. From today, you are ‘Baekryong’!”

“Nyorororon—?!?!”

A guy whose eyes shine like stars at my every word.

It looks happier than being stroked.

I just roughly gave it a name that is the opposite of Black Dragon.

“You like it that much? White dragon?”

“Ryong, dragon, dragon… !!!」

When I asked his name, he nodded with excitement in his voice.

Is it okay for a ghost to be this lively?

Big eyes are shining towards me.

It’s like the eyes of a believer who has received overwhelming grace.

ㅡTiring!

[The ghosts’ loyalty increases significantly!]

[Current Loyalty – Blind Trust Stage]

[Privilege is granted as loyalty increases.]

‘Oh, you just gave me a name and loyalty goes up so much?’

A system message that appears out of nowhere.

The loyalty of the ghosts is updated.

Besides, this isn’t the end yet.

ㅡTiring!

[‘Soul Tracker’ is activated.]

[Soul Chaser – You can attach your ghosts to a specific target. The user can retrieve the ghost at any time, and can detect the ghost’s location no matter how far away.]

‘What is this again? ‘Soul seeker?’

After reading the description, it seems like a pretty useful skill.

Besides, this soul chaser,

I think this is a technique Derke used on me in the past.

Didn’t you put up a ghost to monitor my location at all times? Of course, Sophia later made him Buddha…

It seems that as loyalty increases, the skills that can be used are added. It may not be useful right now, but I’ll keep it in mind because I may need to use it later.

Anyway, this isn’t what’s important right now.

“Come on, everyone, let’s cheer up! “As long as you prepare the ingredients neatly, I’ll give you lots of pats!”

『Nyorolong-☆』

The black/white dragon responds cheerfully as if in agreement with my instructions.

It’s so needlessly cute and lively that you wonder if it’s a spirit, not a ghost.

ㅡChideokchideok!

ㅡCreation… !

Baekryong finished kneading the brightly colored dough that he resembled himself.

ㅡSquish, swish… !

ㅡRurg… !

Heukryong prepared the zest and juice by grinding the skins of various fruits on a grater.

All of these were the main ingredients used in the dessert to be presented today.

You can tell just by looking at the ingredients,

It wasn’t that grand a dessert.

The plan was to make something that all young ladies would like.

“Good. If this is done, we can start quickly.”

-Rattle!

ㅡPut, hold… !

First, I pressed the finished dough into the mold. Mainly used when baking pies, where the edges are cast in a wavy shape.

ㅡRustling… ! Widely… !

Once the dough is laid out flat on the pan, you need to place a smaller pan on top of it. This is because the dough was able to puff up while baking in the oven. If you don’t have an extra pan, a cleanly washed pressing stone will work.

ㅡDrurruk… !

I first put the dough in the oven.

Firstly, to bake it in the oven.

It’s still just a preliminary baking process, and it’s far from finished.

If you bake it like this, you will end up with something ambiguous that is neither a pie nor a biscuit.

There was still more cooking to be done.

While the dough is baking crispy,

The intention was to create a core that would fill the inside of the frame.

ㅡSarreuk… !

I poured a large amount of sugar, a small amount of salt, and the zest and juice of the fruit I had grated earlier into different types of pots.

And finally, starch powder and a small amount of water were added.

-Help… !

Now just boil this over medium heat.

Until it slowly simmers down without boiling.

Since starch is added, it will gradually become thicker as moisture evaporates.

ㅡSsuk ssuk… !

You need to keep stirring it to prevent it from sticking to the bottom until it has the consistency of jam or syrup.

ㅡRurg… !

-Thump, thud… !

As I continue to boil it with the ghosts,

Moisture evaporates faster than you think.

When you lift the spatula and drop it, if it feels like it’s dripping and runs out, it’s almost done.

Now, add the butter one last time and boil once more.

“Guys, can you prepare some yolks while we finish?”

『Nyoronglong-!!!』

ㅡWhirik, thak… !

ㅡCracked… !

At my request, Black Dragon and White Dragon work together to filter out only the egg yolk and put it in a bowl. And that too, with the yolk well beaten.

ㅡHwihwihwi… !

Now, all you have to do is slowly take the boiled stuff out of the pot and mix it well with the yolk.

ㅡDing… !!!

“Oh, is it already baked?”

When almost all of the yolks were mixed,

A cheerful alarm sounds from the oven.

With a smell similar to a fragrant baked biscuit.

‘It was cooked just right. This is a good start.’

The crispy crust was baked evenly according to the shape of the pan. Without any lumpy bubble marks.

ㅡRurg… !

Now, fill the inside with the thick juice filling you just made.

ㅡDrurruk… !

Bake it again in the oven and you’re done.

Until both the outside and the inside are cooked.

I think I will be able to leisurely prepare dessert on time today as well.

ㅡRurg… ! Ssuk ssuk… !

Now repeat this process and fill the inside of the dough with the fruits you divided by type earlier and bake them one by one to complete today’s dessert.

“Hmm, how many stars do you want to give this time?”

It was time to wait for the desserts to be perfectly baked.

ㅡKwadangtang… !!!

Suddenly, the door to the break room opens violently.

It’s clear that someone kicked in the door.

Just like Yugo broke the door with his foot and pushed it in a few days ago.

‘What, who is it? It’s still a long way from opening… Who on earth kicked in the door so arrogantly?’
