“Lisa is a brilliant baker Jack is no longer able to stand in front of an oven In that case, there’s sohter to fulfill her father’s last dream in his place Plus, past that, the two had to ht? Lisa”
Ahtly as she turned around Lisa approached them and looked down at Amelia with a dull expression She started to speak
“Amelia You can’t do this”
“Even you knew this was homework that needed to be completed at some point”
“……My father is very tired”
“Once he can get past today, he th”
“Miniiven uess that’s true Sorry That was y was too fast Lisa looked like she had so else to say, but she was unable to say it and just ended up sighing Amelia put the last piece of bread in her mouth and looked behind her There were no customers and there were no breads left on the stands She started to speak in a disappointed voice
“Do you have anyive that to you?”
“……I’ll just fill rumbled in a disappointed voice It was at that point that the door opened and a sirl, Ella, walked quickly as if she was alarmed Then, she bent over soonto Lisa’s leg
“Mommy!”
“……Ella Mommy told you that you can’t walk around in your pajamas”
“Yes……but I like hter”
Jo Minjoon spoke honestly The little girl was very cute and adorable She would be comparable to the child models on TV Ella peeked at Jo Minjoon after he spoke, and with a look of e Lisa let out a sigh
“Ella, please don’t pull on momh Anderson was not the type to like children, even his gaze was quite gentle while looking at Ella It was at thattowards theone from his face as he stood up froo well?”
“It did go well, but……”
Rachel stared at Jo Minjoon with a strange expression Jo Minjoon could not understand the aze At thatat Jo Minjoon
“My name is Jack Hudson”
“Jo Minjoon”
Jo Minjoon shook Jack’s hand Did he have arthritis? Although his hand was shaking, it was not odd Once they let go of their handshake, Jack started to speak
“Rachel says you are her new hope?”
“Teacher does say good things about me”
“Then, do you think it’s misplaced hope?”
It was a casual question, but not one that could be casually answered Jo Minjoon vigorously opened his eyes before answering
“No matter what kind of expectation teacher has of me, I will make sure to live up to those expectations”
“……Even if she asks for so her a star from the sky?”
“She’s not the type to have such unrealistic expectations”
“No, that’s where you are wrong I a extremely serious when I say this, but this friend is crazy”
Rachel’s lips moved for a second It looked like she was about to say souilty for how she acted the last ten years, she could not say anything about it Jo Minjoon held back his laughter before speaking
“I know that teacher used to be pretty bad in the past”
“……The only one who this bad girl could not stand up against was Daniel Daniel had so Rachel didn’t have I don’t knohether to call it intuition or whatever But anyways, I hate this selfish old lady, however, I have to ad She’s one the top five chefs in the world You……will need to fill the area that such a person is lacking in Even then, are you still confident that you can meet her expectations?”
“Yes”
Jo Minjoon did not hesitate even for a moment Jack started to frown However, it did not sound like Minjoon was speaking with arrogance froe Jack started to speak
“I’ve heard that you have absolute taste Yes, that is definitely a special talent I’m sure that one day, you will be a chef that everybody will know about”
“Mr Jack I’ve never considered my absolute taste to be special It’s a little e However, that is it The reason I a teacher Rachel’s expectation is not because of ue”
“……Then what is your reason?”
“The fact that dishes taste better thethat er-length bit of a brioche still re It was an 8 point dish Jo Minjoon immediately put the brioche in his mouth Then he slowly started to read the systemthat slowly opened up in front of hi this brioche After h, every time you spread the butter, you let it rest for threewhites and five egg yolks when you h”
Instantly, Jack’s eyes started to shake It was the same for Lisa as next to him They had heard plenty of rumors about Jo Minjoon, however, for him to prove it with bread that they hadLisa’s leg, had a look of shock
“However, all this does is give s I need to think about are not much different than anybody else Absolute taste? I can see a completely different world with the power of ive me some help However, the custoular sense of taste I’m not much different than any other chef”
“……Fine Let’s consider that to be the case Then what is the reason Rachel should trust you and rely on you? If there really is no worth to the special nature of your tongue, which part of you is it that Rachel must find worth in?”
“My sincerity”
It was an unexpected answer He thought there was so up, but that was not the case Jo Minjoon could not do that If talent deter, if your limit was determined from the moment you started……he could not stand such a reality
He did have soue was sensitive, and his intuition when it came to recipes was creative, but still realistic However, that was not an overwhel that Kaya had
That’s why talent had to be a wall you could overcome Kaya’s rival He could not accept that it could all end without hi voice
“I’ sincerity on their plate, however, I also have the vitality, youth, and desire to push forward Just as a dish taste better the more time you put into it, I believe it must be the same for chefs”
“But you must know that that is not the reason Rachel likes you”
He felt his heart clench Yes, although Rachel was looking at Jo Minjoon, she was not looking at the real Minjoon She was looking at the Jo Minjoon with absolute taste that was drawn in her mind Jo Minjoon briefly bit his lip At that moment, Rachel put a hand on Jo Minjoon’s shoulder
“No Jack, you’re wrong Minjoon’s tongue is not what I rate highly”
“Then what is it?”
“Minjoon The person”
At this unexpected answer, both Jo Minjoon and Jack were at a loss of words Ella, who had been looking at the three of them ide eyes, pulled on Lisa’s clothes As Lisa turned her head, Ellaher ear closer She quietly whispered in Lisa’s ear
“What is it, Ella? Are you hungry?”
“Mouess hoe make our bread?”
“……Yes He did Were you surprised?”
Ella vigorously nodded her head Six years old It was a very young age, however she had seen many people who came to look for Lisa to ask about the recipe and returned without any success The recipe for bread was a mysterious question nobody could solve To her, Jo Minjoon, as able to solve that question……
“Is that mister a fairy?”
“Huh?”
“Mommy said that nobody could find out our bread recipe Since he can figure out soht?”
She didn’t knohat kind of logic was going through Ella’s head, but it would actually be weirder for a child’s deduction to be realistic Lisa just nodded her head At that moment, a non-realistic conclusion was formed in Ella’s head Jo Minjoon is a fairy There was only one fairy she knew about That led to a conclusion Ella asked with a shocked expression
“That mister…… is Tinkerbell?”
