I Was Just Having Fun With The Time Limit – Chapter 88

Chapter 88

Chapter 88

The Continental Cooking Association has united.

『Ramen, that is the devil’s food!』

『Stop selling food that is no different from a deadly poison that destroys the body.』

Two of them were associations belonging to the Mirotel Magic Federation, and the other one belonged to the Bilotian Empire.

They referred to the dangers of ramen and called it the devil’s food.

Accordingly, all sorts of rumors about ramen began to sweep the continent.

“Have you heard about it? That, what is it, ramen? I heard that if you eat it, toxins build up in your body.”

“They say it eventually leads to demonization.”

“Oh my, how terrible.”

“I heard that the Narmore Corporation is actually supported by black mages.”

Maresenz, a renowned chef, also directly mentioned ramen and condemned it as a sin.

“It is a very dangerous devil’s object. It will make your body and mind more decadent than drugs, and in the end, it will summon evil spirits.”

Countless people were gripped by fear.

Ramen was burned everywhere, and even in the Kingdom of Alphea, which was very favorable to the Narmore Corporation, there was a commotion.

Isabel, who had read some newsletters, sighed, “Haa-“.

“This is really delicious.”

It’s even better than modern ramen.

It tasted similar to modern ramen, but it was lower in salt and calories. It was also nutritionally superior.

“It’s upsetting that they don’t appreciate this taste.”

Isabel blew on the hot noodles, “Hoo-hoo-“, and then slurped them up, “Hororok-“.

It was a thrilling feeling she had never experienced in her previous life.

“Oh my, I slurped the noodles again?”

A great act that she could not even dream of with the body of her previous life. She had succeeded in ‘noodle slurping’.

Yuri, who was sitting in front of her, said with a dark expression.

“Your Highness. Are you alright?”

“Yes, I’m a little upset, but I’m fine.”

As master chefs and the cooking association publicly criticized ramen, Isabel, Yuri, and even Narmore were being criticized together.

“How can you be okay?”

“Well……”

Actually…… well, it’s just, I’m used to it…… When I was in Korea, I was cursed thousands, tens of thousands of times more than this. So this doesn’t bother me at all.

It was a bit awkward to say that, so she just smiled and said.

“They secretly buy and sell drugs that are extremely dangerous and bad for your health.”

“Yes?”

“Even things that have been completely proven to be bad, people are desperate to get them. But ramen is delicious, not that bad for your health, and cheap, right? I believe time will solve it.”

There were many people in this world who starved to death. It was a completely different world from Korean society, which was at least materially affluent.

Therefore, ramen would be a very good food for them.

“You know that most of the people who react so sensitively to ramen and claim it’s the devil’s food are upper-class people, right?”

Nobles or the wealthy.

It is a world where only they can access newsletters, and only they share information.

“Those people don’t know hunger.”

But Isabel knew hunger.

Of course, thanks to the support of people, she had never really gone hungry, but she always wanted to eat tteokbokki and ramen.

She also wanted to try pizza, hamburgers, and cola, which everyone else ate at least once.

She had only eaten those foods a few times before the age of 7.

So she was always mentally hungry.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to eat them, but that she wanted to eat them but couldn’t.

“I think no matter how much those people talk, people who are really hungry will eat it.”

Isabel double-checked just in case.

“Yuri-eonni, you developed ramen, right? Did you really put things in it that are harmful to the human body?”

“No! Absolutely not. If I had, I would never have given it to Your Highness.”

“See? I trust Yuri-eonni. Time will solve it.”

Isabel smiled.

She, who was familiar with the public and the media, took the recent events in stride.

‘Your Highness is calm again today.’

Yuri bit her lip. And she was so frustrated that she wanted to hit her chest, “Thump! Thump!”.

‘Why don’t people understand Your Highness’s heart?’

Yuri doesn’t know about Isabel’s past life.

So she was sure that Isabel didn’t ask her to develop ramen because she ‘really wanted to eat ramen’.

‘Why don’t they understand that warm heart that wants to help the people of the empire by developing food that can provide the minimum calories at a low price!’

Yuri returned to her room and took out her writing utensils.

Isabel said that time would solve it, but Yuri couldn’t stand still.

It was Yuri who developed ramen after getting the idea from Isabel.

There were numerous chemistry books on one side of her desk.

‘Did I develop ramen without studying anything!’

Yuri in the novel was originally a genius at mathematics.

If it were in the novel, she would have just studied mathematics, but things are different now.

She is now a culinary researcher who has studied chemistry, and a genius who enjoys studying.

‘I will not stand still.’

Kiruen, the Captain of the Outer Wall Guard of the Imperial Capital, threw down her fork.

Pak!

The fork stuck into the wall.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

She put down her beer mug.

Bang!

There was a loud noise, and the table shattered.

The strange thing was that the beer mug was fine.

“You’re saying what I’m eating is the devil’s food? Then what, am I a devil?”

Captain, you look a bit like a devil right now……

There were no guards present who could utter those words.

The guards stealthily left their seats.

“This is so delicious, how can you say such a thing?”

The men who were whispering that ramen was the devil’s food were terrified as Kiruen approached.

Kiruen grabbed one of the men by the collar and lifted him up.

“S, S, Save me.”

“Who said I was going to kill you?”

No matter how drunk Kiruen was, she never hit ordinary people who hadn’t learned magic.

“Hey. Look closely.”

Kiruen lifted the man with one arm and poured magic into his body.

“Warriors, you see, can observe the body closely with magic. You know?”

“Th, that……”

“You, you have erectile dysfunction, right?”

The man’s face turned bright red.

“N, no, I don’t!”

“No? I can tell just by looking.”

Kiruen sighed, “Hoo-“, and then roughly threw the man to the ground.

With a thud, the man fell to the floor.

“If you run away, you’re dead.”

“Y, yes.”

Kiruen lifted the bowl and gulped down the ramen broth.

And then she activated her magic.

A bluish energy enveloped her entire body and flickered.

“I’ve examined my body, and there’s nothing wrong with it. You know?”

“……Yes, yes.”

“There’s nothing wrong with it at all.”

Kiruen deliberately spoke loudly so that everyone around her could hear.

Thanks to Kiruen’s efforts(?), no one around the outer wall called ramen the devil’s food.

Kiruen approached the man and whispered.

“But you know, who told you to spread those rumors?”

The man Kiruen saw was not just an ordinary person. He was a guy who was paid to spread nonsense.

She got close to him and whispered softly.

“Tell me properly. Before I cut your tongue out.”

If you tried to insult our lovely, cute, and adorable princess, it wouldn’t end with just that.

She held back those words, but even though she didn’t say them, a tremendous killing intent pressed down on the man’s body.

“I’ll, I’ll tell you everything!”

Kiruen, the Captain of the Outer Wall Guard, discovered that there was a force maliciously and systematically fabricating false rumors.

That was the beginning.

Viaton reported on it.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, who is too busy to listen to my reports and entrusts all the work to me excessively. I will report on the issue that Your Majesty is so actively involved in and taking care of personally. You ordered me to investigate it myself, so I dragged my body, which is already exhausted from overtime, and gathered information from all over the place……”

“Just the main point.”

“It seems that the high-ranking mages of the Magic Federation are supporting the researchers of the Cooking Association.”

“……”

“Are you going to stay still?”

“What if I don’t stay still?”

Viaton glanced at him cautiously.

‘He seems to be really pissed off……’

The chair the Emperor sat on was made of sturdy and precious dragonwood.

The armrests of the chair made of dragonwood were crumbling.

It was a remarkable fact that the Emperor of Bilotian, who had never paid any attention to political slander or media warfare, was now reacting very sensitively to such things.

‘Should I say more?’

Viaton was actually the type to meticulously calculate and provoke the Emperor.

He felt like he shouldn’t say more now. So he decided to get straight to the point.

“I have a good idea.”
