Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With chapter 11
11 – Sofia’s taste
One.
[Currently, a new target wants to communicate with you.]
… …
[Do you want to accept sympathy?]
A system message like the one above comes to mind as if it were plastering my vision.
The hologram windows overlapped so much that it was impossible to see. Surprised by the sudden notification window, I had no choice but to take a backward step.
It was difficult to maintain composure as square spears kept popping out of the air.
‘Hey, what is this? What happened?’
Even though countless windows appeared as if they were infected with malicious code, I couldn’t close them.
Although it may seem like an error on the surface,
It must have come to mind for a reason.
I left the system window asking whether to accept the sympathy and moved my gaze back.
ㅡHorruk! gulp… !
ㅡWasak… ! Wasak!
The ladies who sat in the seat were hastily tasting the coffee and biscuits I served. The grace and dignity of a dragon were nowhere to be found.
ㅡ ha? Does the coffee taste better than you expected?
ㅡI thought it would be bad since the tea I prepared in advance… … .
ㅡCoffee is also coffee, but like he said, try eating it with a biscuit!
ㅡ Ha ha? Bar, crispy! And the first taste… … ?!
ㅡDoes the cookie taste like coffee? Is it moderately sweet?
ㅡIt’s a coffee-flavored biscuit, isn’t it a good combination with coffee? Why is that?
ㅡIt’s the first time I’ve tasted something like this in over 500 years… … !!
Everyone exclaimed and inhaled coffee and biscuits. Just like the dragons who came from starving their lunch. Some were quickly emptying their bowls.
‘thank god. Everyone seems to like it.’
Certainly, when I drank only coffee, the reaction was cold, but when I served it with cookies, the synergy of the taste exploded, drawing admiration.
And thanks to that, countless sympathy success notification windows popped up in front of me right now.
I was embarrassed because it was unexpected, but
It must have been good news.
So, be more careful in your choices.
In the case of Derke, sympathy was automatically accepted by shaking hands, but as with Johnson earlier, the situation now is a little different.
Perhaps thanks to the treat of biscuits, the target of sympathy first unilaterally expressed their liking. And to the end, that choice was in my hands.
It saved me a lot of trouble because I didn’t have to work hard to like each and every one of them.
‘It’s better An opportunity to make an SSR-class dragon on my side so easily… … .’
I took advantage of the moment when the dragons were preoccupied with coffee and cookies and looked at each system message. My purpose was only one.
I was looking for Sophia’s name in the countless notification windows.
No other dragons were needed.
The remaining slots are unconditionally SSR grade.
I still have only 5 slots left, and I can’t fill them with other dragons.
No matter how high the level (age) was, if the grade was low, it was out of my interest.
‘I think he was R-class, but of course he doesn’t need it… … . It’s a 4th grade, but there was also an N grade. Maybe a dropout? Then you don’t even need… … .’
I carefully erased the system windows one by one, scratching my brain. It was because he could have passed on Sofia’s name if he did a gloss.
There was another reason why I was so obsessed with SSR class.
It was also because I couldn’t pick one in the game,
Above all, I wanted to ensure my safety.
In a word, I needed a strong back.
That’s right, now I was nothing more than a weak human servant.
Perfect conditions for a short life in an academy teeming with heterogeneous races. In addition, it was a weak body that did not have the skills to protect itself.
That’s why he needed a strong ally.
The strongest that no one can touch.
And only dragons had these conditions.
To be precise, I needed a strong dragon to protect me. For the next 50 years, the life of drinking coffee while watching the dragons without a promise is a no-go.
Besides, if he did well, he could borrow the power of dragons and escape the academy.
Because… … .
‘Rejection, rejection, rejection, rejection… … .’
I slowly checked the names of the dragons and erased the system window. Be careful not to make mistakes.
The only goal is the dragon of dawn, Sophia.
The main heroine of Destiny Dragons.
If she is on my side, no one will be able to touch me easily.
The SR class was also visible in the notification window,
I boldly chose to refuse sympathy.
Under the creed of not picking a halfway grade.
As far as I remember, there were close to 80 characters at the time of release, and among them, the percentage of SSR was only about 8.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s close to a 10% chance, but I couldn’t get this even with 2 million won?’
I was enraged, ignoring the gacha probability set for each rank, and using the miracle calculation method. It was because it was a probability that no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it. There was no confirmed draw.
All I could think was that it was deliberately possessed.
‘It’s dirty and despicable, so I somehow get out of the academy.’
He was searching for Sophia’s name with just one thought.
“yes? what? Is it over already?”
While I was continuously shouting rejection of sympathy, when I came to my senses, all system windows had disappeared.
After countless system messages disappear, the view of the break room comes into view.
“… … ?”
I checked the name meticulously and chose to refuse, but Sophia’s name was not visible. Even so, not a single system message remained.
I was puzzled at first, but
I could soon realize
In other words, there was no sympathetic notification window in the name of Sophia from the beginning.
And this means that my biscuits did not satisfy my liking. Even though he satisfied all the other dragons.
‘what? Were my biscuits not good? Surely the reaction wasn’t bad?’
In fact, Sophia was also eating the coffee and biscuits that I had brought without saying anything. While swaying through a thick book.
Her expressions and reactions weren’t bad. But it was certainly not to the extent of admiration. He continued reading with a face close to expressionless.
It was a subject that was not easily understood.
It was also Sophia who noticed the smell of biscuits first. First of all, he mentioned it as if he was looking forward to it, but he was the only one who didn’t respond.
It was just that he was sending me a meaningful look from time to time… … .

2.
ㅡHorruk… !
Warm coffee passes through the neck and spreads a deep fragrance to the nose.
Moderately roasted coffee aroma over low heat.
It wasn’t a perfect roast, but it was fine.
It is probably because the quality of the coffee beans is inferior or the size of the particles ground by the grinder is uneven.
‘But what… Not bad.’
It was not a bad coffee to soothe the fatigue from flying toward the academy and the boredom accumulated at the entrance ceremony.
It tasted just like coffee.
A taste that falls into the ordinary category.
It would be better if I added sugar or cream to make it soft and sweet, but I didn’t like drinking coffee sweet.
‘Actually, this must have been the main focus rather than coffee.’
What was out of the ordinary was the refreshments served together. Rectangular brown biscuits. What happened was out of the ordinary.
But this one was special.
The coffee aroma had the right amount of sweetness.
The first taste and aroma.
It was to the point where I wanted to bring a separate biscuit.
‘The scent that vibrated even outside the break room was unusual… … . But something is missing.’
Sophia muttered to herself as she tasted the coffee and biscuits served by the breeder.
To be honest, the coffee was mediocre.
Conversely, the taste of the biscuits was quite fresh.
To be honest, it was the first time I had experienced it.
It was true that I was very surprised by that.
About 80% of the taste is taken up by dessert.
It was a part that I could understand why they asked me to eat it with a biscuit.
‘It’s definitely on a good level. But it’s still not enough.’
This was Sophia’s sober assessment.
“Still, I won’t be bored for the next semester or so. It’s a short-lived body, so I won’t be able to endure it until I graduate, but… … .”
Still, at the end, Sophia looked at the breeder while muttering a generous evaluation.
“… yes?”
Just in time, the breeder and eyes meet.
His gaze was also directed at Sophia.
Breeder’s dark eyes were filled with bewilderment.
It was as if he had heard Sophia’s cold evaluation directly.
‘Puhu, you mean I’m quick-witted for a human?’
Sophia, who confirmed Breeder’s expression, responded with a bright smile. It was a pity, but it was a smile that meant that I had a good drink.
In response, the breeder hurriedly nodded his head and averted his gaze. It was rude to make eye contact with a dragon.
“Hehe, unlike his bubbly personality, he had a cuter side than I thought.”
Sophia once again smiles with satisfaction.
‘Next time, I’ll have to order according to my taste without thinking about the people around me.’
After all, I unified it with coffee.
Don’t look at me, I’ll order mint tea.
Do you know why everyone hates mint flavor?
ㅡCrunchy, crunchy… !
Sophia, who was alone in her thoughts, shrugged her shoulders and took a bite of the remaining biscuit.
‘Are you sure this is okay? I mean, without being bitten. It would be better if a warm and refreshing taste was added to this… … .’
She continued to substitute personal tastes, regretting it.
Seeing that he still has basic skills, maybe… … .
Wouldn’t this servant be able to make a dessert that suits my taste?
Sophia continued to read again with such a personal wish in her mind.
