7 – 7. The Overly Pious Virgin (1)

I would have loved to slit the pig’s throat and spread soybean paste on the wolf and put it in a pot, but after all, they are guests, and I couldn’t treat those two like that.

So, let’s make the customers suffer by their own foolish actions.

Come to think of it, there are many ways to deal with fraud.

“I understand. I’ll prepare the ramen, so please wait. I’ll provide the seasoning separately for that jerky, so please wait a moment on your side as well.”

“Hmph, you should have done that from the beginning.”

I took the pig’s cup ramen and went to the shelf with other cup noodles.

When I checked the shelf before, I found something.

Originally, it was a product discontinued a few years ago, and you could only buy it online. Surprisingly, there were some placed in the corner of this convenience store.

It was okay to swap it since the one the pig chose had the same price.

[Tactical Nuke Buldak Stir-Fried Noodles] [₩1800]

It’s a taste that even if two people eat and die, no one will know, the so-called ‘Tactical Nuke Buldak.’

The Scoville scale is twice as hot as the already sufficiently spicy original Buldak, and it’s a formidable weapon that can send pregnant women, the elderly, and children to the emergency room if they eat it by mistake.

According to rumors, some people have actually fainted and ended up in the emergency room.

“Excuse me, sir, this ramen is quite spicy. Is it okay for you?”

I innocently asked with a face devoid of any ill intentions.

“Is that what you call ramen? Even if it’s contained in that kind of paper, it’s bound to be spicy. I’m hungry, so go make it right away!”

Perfect timing that I’m hungry.

Eating it on an empty stomach will make it even more effective.

With skillful hands, I poured hot water into the cup noodles and placed them on the convenience store table.

“Oh, it smells good… So, where-“

As soon as the smell of ramen started wafting, the piglet approached, drooling.

It hadn’t even been three minutes, and it was already eager to open the lid and inhale.

I haven’t even added the sauce yet.

“Wait for a moment.”

“What? Why?”

“That cup noodles hasn’t become delicious yet. Cup noodles are meant to be made by adding hot water and waiting for three minutes to become tasty. So please wait.”

“Hey! What am I supposed to do?”

“I’ll bring it to you soon, just wait a moment…”

While calming down the piglet, I moved on to the next task, the wolf.

Upon further reflection, giving chocolates could actually be considered an attempted dog murder, so I chose a method that wouldn’t pose any harm to their lives.

In my heart, I wanted to shove the chocolates into their mouths like a girl giving chocolates to her favorite senior on Valentine’s Day, but doing it wrong could actually result in real death.

It’s not a good idea to commit a murder charge for no reason.

“This might not be that well-seasoned, but it’ll be delicious if you sprinkle some special sauce on it.”

To be honest, this level of skill is on par with the waiters at a high-end restaurant.

After three minutes passed, I added the spicy chicken sauce to the cup noodles with a flashy hand movement.

Then, purposely leaving some sauce behind, I smeared it generously on the beef jerky I had put in a paper cup.

Since the taste seemed a bit dull, I wanted to make it more stimulating.

It might be a bit spicy though.

“Now, go ahead and try it.”

With that, the two beasts sat in front of the table, staring at the cup noodles and beef jerky that I had meticulously prepared.

“The smell is intoxicating.”

Indeed, if you don’t smell it up close, it just seems like a moderately spicy and delicious smell.

Come to think of it, this ramen makes use of its unique spiciness to receive high praise, as it stimulates the brain to secrete endorphins and dopamine, which helps relieve stress.

However, the level of spiciness varies from person to person, and especially with these two beasts in front of me, it was at a level where it couldn’t help but be spicy unless they had no problems with their bodies.

– Manager –

[… Is Mr. Kim Hyun-woo a demon by any chance?]

The manager had apparently been watching my every move and sent me such a message, assuring me that he wouldn’t interfere.

I had thought that if the manager found any issue with my actions, it might be a bit awkward, but judging from the fact that he mentioned not interfering without further discussion, it seemed he wasn’t overly concerned.

– Manager –

[After all, it’s a simple adaptation training, and I have no intention of retracting my statement about not interfering. However, if Mr. Kim Hyun-woo is worried, I would offer one piece of advice: If you feel it might be dangerous, press the red button immediately. It’s too late to press it once the danger has already arisen.]

I appreciated the advice, but I couldn’t afford to miss the opportunity for a vacation that might not come again.

You see, you should seize the opportunity for a reward vacation when it’s available, or you might miss it altogether.

There are more people in the world who fail because they let opportunities slip through their fingers than those who never attempt in the first place.

“Ugh… What, what is it… aaargh!”

Right on cue, a very satisfying scream filled the air.

One sounded like the noise of a pig being gutted, while the other resembled the sound of a dog being viciously beaten on a lucky day.

According to the plan…

Both animal pups collapsed to the ground, their mouths red and smeared with a delicious-looking sauce, writhing from side to side.

If someone saw them, they might think they had caught on fire.

In reality, their tongues and stomachs were probably on fire.

Maybe the next day, there would be fire down below in the bathroom as well, so that was something to look forward to.

It seemed like it would be quite entertaining, but I had no desire to watch it in person.

“Tongue, tongue…! aaargh!”

The cries, accompanied by tears and snot, reached my ears.

“Water! Water! Anything to drink…!”

The two animal pups were still writhing on the floor, unable to find relief. Suddenly, the piglet managed to locate some milk inside the store and drank it desperately.

How did it know that milk was good when in distress?

Perhaps because it was a pig?

Besides, they say that non-human creatures have a stronger survival instinct than humans, so maybe it’s true.

Oh? But that was definitely the chocolate-flavored milk with a warning not to consume it. It was also known as “mint chocolate milk.”

“Ugh, ugh…!”

In a desperate bid to survive, the piglet began to pour the milk into its mouth, despite the difficulty of consuming something so spicy. It might actually turn out to be quite bearable, surprisingly. The spiciness could be neutralized by the unique sensation of brushing your teeth while drinking milk, after all.

Thud!

“?”

However, the pig, who actually drank the milk, collapsed as if the film had been cut and lost consciousness.

“What, what’s wrong with you? Wake up!”

Contrary to the wolf’s concerns, it seemed that the pig had not died, but it was merely a matter of not dying.

Currently, the pig was in a state where green foam was foaming from its mouth, flipping its eyes upside down.

What kind of taste could that be to have such a reaction?

I was relieved that I didn’t eat that, it was really fortunate.

I don’t know who left the note, but I am grateful to that person.

If there hadn’t been that note, I might have drank it too.

“Darn it…! What did you feed my colleague!”

“…Don’t you think that’s because he drank it without calculating?”

As the wolf said that, he bared his fangs and rushed towards the counter, showing a sense of wanting to devour right away.

Unfortunately, that guy had eaten jerky that was relatively less saucy, so he was still able to move.

“Not that! What is that terrible red liquid, like the devil’s torture device!”

Indeed, it was made by the devil.

More precisely, the Red Demon.

For some reason, I suddenly felt a rush of anger that I normally didn’t feel.

Could this be what people commonly refer to as spiciness? Actually, I had tried that nuclear spicy chicken before, and it was spicy, but it didn’t show this level of reaction.

If only there was milk, I could somehow manage to eat it.

Perhaps, at that level, regular spicy chicken would have been enough instead of the nuclear spicy chicken.

“Damn it, did you add poison to it secretly?!”

“No, the guest chose that too, didn’t they? And it’s not poison, just simply spicy. So, why didn’t you ask if I can eat spicy food?”

Of course, the pig sneakily replaced what he had chosen with the “nuclear” one.

“Moreover, the guest said the jerky doesn’t taste like anything, so I made it more stimulating. Is there a problem?”

“This, this bastard…!”

“The bastard is not me, it’s you who looks like one.”

But don’t do something suspicious from the start.

I have never seen such a commotion for an unexpected reason.

This is not a PC room, and why does Petty only cook cup noodles, and why does he complain that the clearly labeled dog treats have no taste?

[-Pyundol-i Gallery-]

[(☆) Should I even bother making instant noodles?][52]

[It’s absurd, as if without hands or a brain]

[(☆) No, that’s for dogs, sir…][41]

Eating what even dogs wouldn’t touch and coming here to bark like a dog…

At least, I had never come across a post like that before.

There have been similar things in the news, but this?

“Did you go insane because you really wanted to die?!”

Oh, but I didn’t see this coming.

That wolf, out of nowhere, drew a dagger from his waist.

Hidden by fur and cloth, I didn’t notice, but wait, are they pulling out a knife blaming others for their own mistakes?

Are they really less intelligent than the stray dogs in the neighborhood?

“Hey, sir, please calm down-“

“Shut up!”

At that moment, I instinctively stepped back at the sensation of something gleaming.

And then, feeling a slight sting, I touched my face with my hand, and though it was minor, blood was flowing from a cut.

It was a close call from the knife wielded by that wolf just now.

“At first, I just wanted to collect the rent and leave, but now you’re going to die here.”

That lunatic is seriously trying to kill someone now.

If I hadn’t avoided that just now, I would surely be dead.

Whether my face was slashed or my throat was cut, one of them was certain.

“This insane-“

I didn’t do anything excessive, and when you think about it, it’s their fault, so why are they doing this to me?

“First, let’s cut off that damn tongue of yours.”

But what do I do?

Pressing the red button on the counter doesn’t seem feasible with that wolf confidently standing in front of it.

Moreover, according to the manager, even if I press the red button, the police won’t come right away.

So, for now, I have to endure somehow until the police arrive…

Easier said than done, especially when putting it into action.

“This damn guy… My tongue still hurts.”

The wolf slowly approached with a dagger in its hand.

I wondered if I could press a button instead of resisting.

I wish I had a mop or something like that, but now I was just empty-handed.

Ding Dong-

“Ah, welcome, sir.”

Even in this situation, I reflexively lowered my head and greeted the customer who entered the convenience store.

Even I thought it was too much of a professional habit, and even the wolf seemed surprised, not saying anything, just standing still.

“Why are you…?”

Isn’t this strange? Why is this guy acting like this all of a sudden?

The wolf seemed to be trembling with fear as if it had been scared.

The reason seems to be the customer who just entered.

Could it be the police or some kind of police-like figure?

I slowly raised my head to see who that customer was.

“Um, I’m sorry to bother you while you’re busy… but what’s going on here? Is this a fearless robbery in broad daylight?”

A pretty voice that I’ve heard somewhere before.

When I glanced up, I saw the customer who was pretty but unfortunately a fake religious leader.

Her name was definitely Allensia, right?

And behind her were several people wearing armor that looked like security guards.

“No, it’s not like that. There’s a misunderstanding here- Oof!”

At that moment, I threw the coin from my pocket at the guy’s face and quickly bowed, shouting.

It seems like I don’t need to press the red button after all.

“Oh my! I’ll give you all the money I have, so please spare my life!”

“Ugh! What are you talking about? It’s all because of y-!”

This should make the situation more interesting.

A wolf threatening a righteous pebble with a knife.

A pebble begging for his life while giving the thief his underwater money.

Guess you don’t even have to ask how this situation will look, do you?

“Are you a robber?”

“No, no! There are circumstances here-“

The wolf tried to remove me, but it was already too late.

“Oh my, teacher! That was my entire fortune!”

“That lunatic?!”

“…Looks like it was a robbery after all!”

“Ahh! I told you it wasn’t a robbery!”

Arlencia clapped her hands as if she were celebrating the situation, wearing a wide smile.

Even to me, it seemed quite frightening.

Her eyes, as I saw them right now, were truly pure and clear, with a vibrant purple color.
