Episode 45
Geo was good at everything.
“So you’re also good at cooking.”
“ ”
“Please skip swimming.”
Giovanni shook his head politely but firmly in response to the sun god’s question that poked at his weak point. How could a two-legged human born with the ability to breathe only out of water be good at swimming?
“But even so, I am breathing underwater right now….”
Is it because ‘Giovanni’ is already a dead character in this world, or is it because even though he is in a fairy tale, he is essentially a ‘portrait’? Geo was able to breathe normally even in the ‘breathing sea’ filled with water.
“Is this water made so that humans can breathe?”
“ ”
“It has truly become a special sea. We should consider this as one of Aria’s accomplishments.”
Still, there was a sense of emptiness.
“I feel like I’m not bound by the rules of this world. Is it because I’m no longer a resident of this place? My physical condition right now doesn’t seem to be much different from when I was in the Forest of Pictures… .”
“ ”
“okay.”
The sun god also agreed.
“It’s a shame.”
Giovanni smiled his characteristically kind and light smile. It was a neat smile, just as before.
“I should say it feels like I’ve lost a part of my hometown.”
“ ”
“It’s a little sad, but it’ll get better in the future.”
Now was the time to eat rather than talk like that.
“I think my father doesn’t like spicy food either, so I prepared a special dish that is mainly light. I think he would be upset if the food got wet, so please make some space this time too.”
To ‘make space’ was to create a big bubble of air in this water-filled world.
Although the sun god had lost all his followers except Giovanni and was weakened, he was still able to perform miracles like that for a short while.
“… … .”
Using that miracle for a meal might seem a bit absurd to others.
“But still, people need to eat to live. Then, is there a rule that says God can’t eat?”
“ ”
“If anyone says anything like this, please hand that poor person over to my son. I will give him a severe punishment.”
“ ”
“It’s strange that people nag others about what they eat.”
The sun god was very happy. It was definitely the pig god.
‘Can a believer gain weight?’
Geo suddenly had that thought, but soon shook his head internally. It seemed too unscrupulous to expect an intangible opponent with no substance or even a voice to gain weight just by eating.
Anyway, at first, the gentleman who had been so discouraged and withered that he even refused to eat was now setting out a table for me as if demanding that I serve him right away, which made me feel very good.
Giovanni smiled brightly in pleasure. As a priest of the sun, a warm light shone around him.
“Thanks to Honey’s hard work, we had a very satisfying meal today.”
At Geo’s praise, Honey entered the air bubble and proudly puffed out her chest. It seemed like she wanted praise not only from Geo, but from the sun god as well.
“Gurrrrrrrr.”
“ ”
“Crunch crunch crunch!”
Soon, Honey’s body glowed brightly for a brief moment.
“Thank you for your compliment.”
“Crunch.”
It resembled sunlight.
‘Honey is an animal that evolved by drinking Lulupu’s juice, so she especially likes the sun god.’
Rurupu, who grew up in the spring of the forest of pictures, was a flower that grew under the light of the moon and sunlight. Strictly speaking, it was a creature born from the sun and the moon, so it was understandable that it liked the sun god.
‘He’s just like a grandson showing off his skills in front of his grandfather.’
Anyway, it’s cute so it’s fine.
Geo looked at Honey cutely, wiggling her butt and flapping her wings following the halo of light that could be called the touch of the sun god.
Thanks to Honey’s special aegyo, she was able to easily break down the Sun God’s guard and be accepted by him again.
“… … .”
Communication with the Sun God (1/1)
“Then I’ll go prepare some food.”
The food they brought did not get wet, thanks to the sun god evaporating some of the water with his heat.
What Geo made today was assorted sashimi, sushi, warm fish soup, rice to go with it, and fried fish to serve as a side dish.
The fried food was fried lightly and prepared so that each person could dip it in a sour or spicy sauce, so it was expected that there would be little resistance from the two spicy food lovers.
“It’s time to eat, I’m done preparing.”
“Kururururur!!”
First, Honey flew in combatively, flapping her wings as big as my body. Then she stood in front of the fried fish that Geo had placed aside, but the fish was ten times as big as Honey.
“It’s big.”
To be honest, it was a bit of a funny sight.
“Then, Father, please come down too. It tastes better when you eat it while it’s warm.”
“ ”
The power of the sun god, who agreed with Geo’s words, soon spread out to somewhere.

The warm glow reached a platinum-white teddy bear that was carefully placed near the picture frame that was Geo’s entrance.
And soon, a teddy bear slightly smaller than a child began to move.
“Kkuu.”
“Welcome.”
The sun god has descended.
I said I was going to eat.
‘Pigs.’
It was cute.
“Kkuu, kku…”
“Can I help you?”
“dream.”
The teddy bear was flapping its wings instead of walking properly, perhaps because it had been placed in water. It seemed that the teddy bear’s old and worn body was having a hard time escaping from the water pressure and resistance.
Geo readily put his hand on the teddy bear’s side and lifted it up. Then he placed the teddy bear with the sun god in it in front of the bowl.
“Kkuu.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
He was very cute, but I felt a little sorry for his son, Giovanni.
‘You’ve become so weak that you can’t even fit into a doll.’
Of course, this is not a complete incarnation of the sun god, and only a portion that is edible is included.
However, since the ego of the sun god was expressed in the teddy bear, it seems likely that the doll was imbued with an important power that served as the heart or brain of the god.
However, the doll did not burst, and the sun god did not feel any discomfort. With only Giovanni as the believer, it seemed inevitable that his power would weaken compared to when it was at its peak.
“… … .”
It is a miracle that the sun god was saved from extinction by just one person, Giovanni.
“Then let’s eat.”
“Kkuu.”
“Kururururuk.”
A human, a water bird, and a teddy bear all began eating without a second thought. The teddy bear, which must have only had cotton inside, opened its mouth wide and stuffed the fried fish into its mouth.
Geo was amazed once again.
‘It’s strange.’
I see it every time, but I couldn’t figure out how to savor and digest it.
“Honey, is the taste okay? Is the fish cooked well?”
“Kururuk.”
“Yeah, just avoid this sauce. It might be a little spicy for you.”
Just in case, I put some hot sauce in the middle of the table, but I was sure no one would touch it. After all, this sauce was made exclusively for Geo.
“… … .”
Let’s see.
‘I’ll eat raw fish first.’
Honey had already eaten a lot of fresh intestines, so she went for the fried food first. And the sun god, who did not eat raw food according to the tastes of the humans who served him, was drinking rice and fish soup.
For some reason, I feel like trying things that others don’t do.
‘Raw fish tastes better when eaten fresh.’
Geo picked up a piece of raw fish right away.
“…hmm….”
I’ve seen it a lot while grooming, but it still has a unique appearance.
‘It’s amazing how it has the same color as salmon, is soft like salmon, and has a springy texture unlike salmon. Thanks to that, it doesn’t feel as heavy as salmon when fried.’
When I dipped it in soy sauce and ate it, I could feel the chewy yet soft flesh melting in my mouth.
“Mahita.”
“honey.”
“dream.”
Seeing everyone’s reactions of happiness on their own made Geo feel good too.
Honey, who wanted to finish the hunt quickly, caught a school of fish all at once, and all the fish she caught were flounders in salmon disguise.
But the taste and texture were so special that I couldn’t get enough of it.
‘It’s not like it’s not oily at all.’
What was unique about this fish was that it was oily when eaten raw, but when heated, such as by frying or boiling, all the oil came out. Thanks to this, even fish soup with few ingredients could have a rich flavor.
“How about soup?”
“Kuuuk.”
“I am glad that you like it.”
Geo looked at Honey again.
“Honey, you… .”
“Kuung.”
“Yeah, you’re eating well.”
Nice to see you pigs.
‘I’ll eat something cold first, and then eat something else.’
Considering that he would be eating dessert later, he thought that it would be better to eat cold jelly when his stomach was a little warm. Geo decided to try something else after finishing the sashimi and sushi he was eating.
The sashimi, which had a moderate amount of oiliness and oozing out like meat juice, went well with the sushi.
‘The rice grains in the flounder sushi are separate.’
It’s not that I don’t like flounder sushi, but I thought the chewy flounder meat and the plump, rolling sushi roe were too strong.
So Sergio preferred salmon sushi, which was soft enough to slide down the throat with just a little chewing, rather than halibut sushi.
But this sushi was different. The airy sushi spread out like a net the moment I put it in my mouth, and the raw fish on top resisted my teeth for a moment before melting away smoothly.
The combination of rice marinated in sweet soy sauce and slightly oily raw fish was excellent.
“hmm.”
Geo ate all of his share of sashimi and sushi. Any leftovers from the other family members would be all for Geo.
‘Next is fried food.’
Thanks to the consideration of the sun god, it is kept dry, but no matter what, the fried food easily loses its crispiness. Geo chose fried fish as his next dish.
“… Since there was so much of it, I didn’t coat it with batter for fear of it getting too chewy. It was already fried in oil, and the fish flesh was plump…”
Honey and the bear doll looked at Geo, who was making excuses that weren’t excuses, as if to say, “What are you talking about when you’re eating so well?” Geo, who was in charge of the cooking, felt his heart instantly relax.
‘Nothing warms my heart more than a well-fed pig.’
They seem like gentlemen who would eat lye water as long as it tastes good. As someone who cooks, I couldn’t help but feel happy about this situation.
“Sorry to bother you. Just eat.”
“Kyuuu.”
“Crunch crunch.”
“… … .”
By the way, is the teddy bear’s crying sound based on Honey?
‘I’ve felt this way every time, but it’s quite similar.’
I was too hungry to worry any more.
“Ah, it’s hot.”
Fortunately, the fried food was still warm and crispy. It was thanks to the consideration of the sun god who generously showered it with his blessings. I don’t know if it was just because he wanted to enjoy it, but it was good anyway.
Basasak―!
“oh.”
Indeed, the sun god does not tolerate even a single drop of moisture.
‘The crispy fried skin and the juicy meat inside are exquisite.’
Since it was a hassle to prepare 33 fish one by one, they were fried whole, and thanks to that, the inside was juicy and tender.
The fat that was on the meat was drained away and stayed on the skin, so it felt like I was eating chicken.
‘Maybe it’s because it’s fried, but the meat has become much chewier.’
It wasn’t so elastic that it was unpleasant, but it had a resistance that was just right for me. When I chewed without much force with my teeth, I could feel the texture of the food loosening up like silk threads.
“… … .”
It’s delicious even without any sauce?
‘Is it because the shell is salty?’
This fish had seawater soaking into its skin. After draining the water, all that remained was saltiness. I don’t know the principle behind it, but even after frying it once, the seasoning was exquisite.
‘The flesh is almost sweet but juicy, and the skin is especially oily and crispy… it goes very well together.’
It was so delicious that I could eat rice in one go when dipped in the spicy sauce.
“… … .”
Slurp.
The fish soup, boiled like soybean paste stew, was also very good.
“… Since the fish is fresh, we can do this too.”
“Kururuk.”
“Yeah, this is better than I thought.”
I didn’t put in any fancy sauce. I just put well-prepared fish in water with some soybean paste dissolved in it, and topped it with some radish and green onions.
Nevertheless, the deep, savory fish soup tasted like drinking a long-boiled bone broth.
‘If the fish was just a little bit fishy, it wouldn’t have been done this way.’
That’s why when you say fish stew, you usually think of spicy fish stew. There was no case where the fish wasn’t fishy unless it was freshly caught.
Especially when boiled in soup, the fishy smell of seafood is further enhanced, so usually the fishy smell is covered up with spiciness.
But Geo, who had the ocean inside his cabin, didn’t need to do that. The freshly caught fish was incredibly fresh, and he could make a soup with a deep flavor with just a little soybean paste.
“Hoooo… .”
My stomach was so hot that I felt like I wouldn’t be able to wake up until evening if I continued to sleep like this.
“Good.”
“Hold on?”
“Yes, I am full.”
Oh, right.
“I’m boiling the bones, I’ll come back when they’re done.”
“Kuuuuu.”
“Yes, I guess this is your first time having bone soup, Father. It’s much more flavorful than this fish soup… .”
