Chapter 261
261 – Personality Correction ON
Tarte.
A dessert made by making a pie plate out of dough and filling it with filling. Fillings are usually made from fruits, vegetables, eggs, etc.
It was very similar to a pie in that the taste changed significantly depending on what went into it, but tarts had the advantage of being easy to eat.
Among them, I liked the lemon tart the most, with its refreshing taste.
I used to like sweet and sour things,
There was another reason why I fell in love with tarts.
It was really a very simple reason.
My love… Because it was the first dessert my uncle made for me.
I don’t know how he discovered my taste, but I still can’t forget that taste. Maybe that’s when I started liking him.
The freshness of lemon that makes your brain cry.
It was my first gastronomic experience.
Is it an exhilarating stimulation penetrating the body?
His cooking and desserts always contained resonance.
After all, after that, I couldn’t get enough of anything unless it was a strong stimulus like a lemon tart. Only you could meet my expectations.
‘But the Junior guy…’
Does this mean that you have inherited blood?
Why did you prepare a tart?
It’s too exquisite to be a coincidence!
You made an incredibly sour lemon tart as if it was aimed at me?
Although I couldn’t bear to show it outwardly,
Inside, I kept screaming.
Because thoughts of you kept creeping up on me.
That’s right, the junior guy…
Even when I looked at him, there were so many aspects that resembled him.
-Actually, this lemon tart… I prepared while thinking of Lady Rayleigh.
Moreover, he added this sly comment.
With an expression as if nothing had happened.
That look was so natural and sly.
Who wouldn’t be the son of a playboy?
He stirs women’s hearts with sugar-coated words.
With a friendly, indifferent face.
‘Oh, where are you talking nonsense?’ ? You think I’ll be swayed just because you look strangely similar to your uncle!?’
A strong negative is a strong positive.
In fact, it was shaken properly.
I could see the man’s face overlapping with him.
Although I am a descendant of the Lightning clan that produced strong warriors, I am also a woman before I am a warrior. To be exact, she was the man’s woman.
Because of that, I couldn’t just be ok with Junior’s comment.
Phew… Come to your senses, Rayleigh.
It’s nothing special, just bragging.
So, you’re the enemy’s child, right?
Let’s not be swayed by these tricks.
‘Joy… ‘ ! And no matter how hard I try, I won’t be able to match your skills. Just do it worse than you expected. I will never leave you alone… !’
Every time I encounter him, I am reminded of the man who stole my heart.
If it’s swordsmanship, it’s swordsmanship. If it is academic, it is academic.
If it’s cultured, it’s cultured. Even a benevolent personality.
He was a man who lacked nothing.
In a word, he is a perfect man who is kind and caring, even preparing desserts and dishes for himself from time to time.
Of course, he was the first man in my life,
Even at a young age, I could feel it.
You can’t find a male like this anywhere.
So no matter what happens, you should never miss it.
He was a sage-like person who made you feel a distant respect for him, not just an old, middle-aged dragon.
Of course, I hate it more than anyone else now.
It’s just vague memories holding me back.
I thought that the affection of the past no longer remained.
‘Okay… This is a tart made by Junior, not Uncle. Besides, tarts are a common dessert, right? Plus, the taste will be completely different!’
ㅡSplat!
I tried to calm my confused emotions and picked up the lemon tart with one hand.
“… “I hope I can reproduce at least half of your skills.”
ㅡWow! Wasak… !
ㅡWell, well… !
And without hesitation, I took the lemon tart in my mouth! I put it in.
I pretended not to have any expectations,
My heart was pounding with high anticipation.
Looking forward to the taste I felt in the past.
‘How… ? This, this taste… !?’
When the lemon tart filling touches your tongue, goosebumps appear all over your body. The sour taste of lemon reached all the way down my spine to my fingertips and toes.
-Creepy! Creepy… !
“It’s so sour that it makes your tongue tingle…” ” ” … ? This is so… It’s a nostalgic taste… ♡”
It was like that. Taste beyond imagination and expectations.
Junior didn’t warn me for nothing.
A sour taste so exhilarating that it made skin grow on the top of my head hit me.
So much so that I almost lost my mind for a moment.
The tart’s crispy exterior is just that.
Let’s break the savory dough with our teeth,
The essence of sourness flows out and surrounds the tongue.
At the same time, the intense sourness of lemon brings an unknown thrill and emotion to my body.
‘This, this…’ ‘ ‘ Does it taste the same as what you made? How could this happen… ?’
ㅡFlash!
My eyes widen at the completely unexpected taste. Naturally, my eyes turn to Junior. Because the person who created this lemon tart had a lot to say.
How do I know your recipe?
You said you were abandoned when you were young and have never seen one before?
It made absolutely no sense for it to be just a coincidence.
“How on earth did you make this… Haha? Oh, that’s ridiculous—?!”
“Hmm? Miss… ? What’s going on all of a sudden?”
As I was about to ask Junior for more details, I couldn’t bear to finish my sentence.
That’s right…
“Oh, uncle? How on earth did this happen… ?”
When I looked up again, there was not Junior standing in front of me, but a middle-aged man with an impressive beard.
The person who took care of me when I was young,
The man from back then is standing in front.
Looking straight at me with a friendly expression.

ㅡTiring!
[Random stats given to Gourmet Feeding – ‘There are no bad dragons’ is activated.]
[Personality correction takes place for 1 hour.]
[Take advantage of the time when the fierce dragon becomes docile to tame it!]
[Meaningful results can be achieved depending on the caster’s efforts.]
As soon as Rayleigh swallows the lemon tart in one bite, multiple system messages come to mind.
The additional ability that was attached to the tart earlier was activated.
ㅡBadeul, Badeul… !
Rayleigh collapsed and fell, as if succumbing to the sour taste of lemon.
Does the fact that the fierce dragon has become docile refer to Rayleigh’s appearance her her her now?
It has definitely become more docile.
It was natural that I fainted half-way.
But how can we tame this gap?
‘But more than that, it’s personality correction… ?’
– Jump!
“… Hmm?”
When I thought this far,
Rayleigh, who had fallen, gets up.
As if I came back to my senses in an instant.
“Hey, Junior… ?! How on earth did you make this!”
As soon as Ili comes to his senses, a lightning bolt pierces his eardrums.
‘Ha, it’s a shame to be gentle. Still fierce, right? Didn’t you clearly decide not to blame me earlier? Well, even if this is the case…’
Were the additional abilities of no use? Why is there no change…
“Huh? Oh, that’s ridiculous… ?!”
Rayleigh, who had been shouting at me, suddenly became thoughtful and stuttered. Like someone who saw something they couldn’t see.
“Hmm? Miss… ? What’s going on all of a sudden?”
“Oh, uncle-!?”
“Yes? “You suddenly become an old man?”
“How on earth did this happen…” “?” ? Well, that can’t be… !”
“?”
Rayleigh, who I thought had come to her senses her her, looks at my face her and says something incomprehensible. Are you calling me an old man?
“Um, man over there…” “?! This is so delicious!”
“… Yes? “What did you say just now?”
“This lemon tart… ! Of course it’s the best! “It’s like a dessert made by a man!”
“Ha… ? Did you actually like lemon tart? More than that, girl? I’m not an old man, but…”
Rayleigh, who had been muttering to herself while looking at me, suddenly asks for her to refill her in her her bright voice her her her her. She even referred to me as uncle.
It felt like my personality suddenly changed.
It was such a disparate voice and tone.
Did you feel like you became a completely different person in an instant?
“Oh, sorry! But isn’t the title ‘mister’ more popular than ‘teacher’?”
“Yes? What is that…”
“Anyway, man… ?! Can you give me a little more of this? “I guess it’s because it was made by my uncle, so it’s really delicious!”
“… ?!”
The more I look at this, the more strange it becomes.
The same goes for speaking in a short tone,
Even his voice suddenly seemed much younger.
It doesn’t match the image of Rayleigh I’ve encountered over the past few days.
ㅡRoaring… !
Other students were also whispering in low voices, as if seeing Rayleigh like this was awkward.
Sophia was also surprised to see Rayleigh like this and slowly distanced herself.
“Hey girl… ? I’m saying that because I don’t really understand, but you certainly didn’t want to complain about my tart just a moment ago—”
“What… ?! Are you dissatisfied with your dessert? Who on earth-! Just say it! I, the heir of the Lightning Clan, will scold you in the name of Rayleigh… !”
Rayleigh was still talking in a childish tone. It’s like it’s truly infantile regression.
Wait, this can’t be… ?
I’ve heard it in my past memories.
Rayleigh’s voice was distinct when he was young.
‘I understand now. Would you have guessed that this was the meaning of taming people while they were becoming docile?’
