I Became a Foreign Worker Loved by Transcendents

Chapter 105: You Shouldn't Be Doing This!

The cooking area of the excavation site was a place where meals were prepared for the workers and soldiers.

Naturally, fearing any harm to the food, the entry of outsiders was prohibited. However, today was an exception, as the person in charge had granted entry to the wandering minstrel.

She had been roaming this excavation site for the past month, boosting the morale of the members, and the cooks had also gained strength from it.

"Thank you for accommodating my unreasonable request."

"No problem at all. I hope it becomes a nice gift for someone special to you."

When lunchtime arrived, Merilyn, having thanked the person who helped her, left the place.

Inside the envelope she carried was a full load of bread she had made herself that morning.

Its taste and texture had been certified as good by those who specialized in cooking.

Now, all that was left was to deliver this bread to the person she had feelings for.

"Hehe, I better deliver this quickly before it gets cold~"

Of course, it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous.

For demons who lived purely by their desires, food was only to fill the stomach unless it was a key aspect of their desires.

Although she tried to understand the culture of 'gourmet' for the sake of blending in, she had never truly enjoyed it, only fitting in without awkwardness.

'Is this really okay?'

She had made a snack for the first time.

She had heard that humans sometimes exchange snacks like chocolate or candy to express their feelings for each other.

So, she thought it wouldn't be bad to do such things occasionally if she wanted to express her feelings towards him.

'Even now, should I make something more proper...?'

As the decisive moment approached, she began to feel hesitation in her steps towards him due to the anxiety she felt.

Should she mark the beginning with such a crude item? Wouldn't it be better to take a bit more time to offer something better?

'...No, this is fine for now.'

But such conflicts would eventually be brief.

Merilyn soon cast away her worries and, being faithful to her surging emotions, resumed her previously halted steps.

If she delayed for the sake of perfection, she would only reduce her opportunities to be with him.

As long as he didn't push her away, she could use the opportunity to gradually close the distance, even if only a little.

'Yes, it's okay to be clumsy at first.'

What was more important than the beginning was being together in the end.

The demon, deciding to cast aside her haste with such a belief, held the envelope full of bread, feeling the beating of her heart.

'If I make progress little by little, I'll surely be by his side in the end.'

Quietly but distinctly.

Feeling this conviction, she, who had confronted her own emotions, buried her blushing face in the envelope and quickened her steps.
