Chapter Title: Delivery into the Dungeon
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tutorial - Meal Prep!
💬 System: The hunters on Earth, in dimension-EFd0375e's planet, are suffering from one dungeon rule.
💬 System: Namely... no outside food allowed inside the dungeon! (´;︵;`)
💬 System: They have to make do with tough monster meat and dungeon weeds for meals.
💬 System: Take their orders and successfully deliver food to them!
📦 Food Deliveries: 0/1
⏰ Time Limit: 24:00:00
"...This so suddenly?"
Stunned by the sudden situation, Chae-ryeon mumbled blankly, and a serious emoticon popped up.
[¸◕ˇ‸ˇ◕˛]
System: No refusals. NO NO NO!
Quest failure within time limit will penalize the user.
⚠️ Penalty: Cooking skills revoked for one week!
"What?!"
T-this is coercion(!)!
"Who does this?! If you're gonna pull this, take your hunter stuff and shove it!"
Furious at the abrupt quest demand, Chae-ryeon dropped all pretense of politeness in her protest, but the system window remained unmoved.
[?ʅ(｡◔︎‸◔︎｡)ʃ?]
⏰ Time Limit: 23:59:59
Take orders from hunters within the time limit and complete the delivery!
📦 Food Deliveries: 0/1
"Hey!"
This jerk, so annoying!
'More than that, it only tells me the penalty for failure but not the reward? That make any sense?'
She swung her fist at the system window, but it had no effect, only making Chae-ryeon's frustration boil over even more.
As if to soothe her, the system window belatedly revealed the quest rewards and how to complete it.
🎁 Rewards: Unlock [Portable Kitchen Anywhere!], [My Recipe Book]
Quest Completion Method: Shout 'Search Bar,' then find 'Waitress Mimi'!
System: Good luck then✧*｡٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*｡
Having said its piece, the system window vanished as suddenly as it had appeared.
Was she possessed by a ghost or something? Chae-ryeon swiped at the empty air where nothing was, then muttered blankly.
"...A dream?"
It didn't feel like a dream. She reached to pinch her cheek but hated the pain, so she figured what the hell and whispered softly.
"...Search bar."
Sure enough, a slightly translucent search bar like on a major portal site appeared before her eyes.
"Whoa!"
Earth, South Korea, dimension-EFd0375e. Coordinates set.
User Moon Chae-ryeon recognized.
What would you like to search for?
A pleasant, clear voice came from the search bar. Chae-ryeon jumped in surprise, fell on her butt, then scrambled to her feet.
"I-it's real."
[Search for 'I-it's real'?]
"N-no!"
It was trying to search exactly what she said! This was no hologram—it was real!
'Does that mean I really became an S-Rank Hunter...?'
Sure, her job was delivery person... but this was still huge, right?
Clutching her pounding heart in disbelief, Chae-ryeon timidly mumbled to the search bar again.
"Waitress Mimi."
[Search for 'Waitress Mimi'?]
"Yes."
[Searching... Please wait.]
A few seconds later, it chimed with a ding.
[Fetching search results.]
[Summoning 'Delicious Waitress Mimi.']
With a poof, thick smoke billowed up.
'Wonder what'll come out this time...?'
Swallowing hard in anticipation, Chae-ryeon watched as a small figure burst cheerfully through the smoke toward her.
"You called for me, Master!"
An archaic speech pattern and polite demeanor.
It was a tiny rabbit. A white bunny dressed in an adorable multicolored hanbok, with a pretty pouch tied to its waist sash.
'C-cute!'
The fluffy white rabbit with ruby-red eyes bowed deeply to Chae-ryeon.
"Pleased to meet you. I am Delicious Waitress Mimi, the moon rabbit."
"W-whoa..."
'A talking rabbit!'
She'd heard hunters came with basic summons or pets. She never thought she'd get one too.
A moon rabbit, no less. Even the name sounded extraordinary.
'And named Delicious Waitress Mimi...'
Was the system phoning it in on names?
Whether Chae-ryeon inwardly grumbled at the system or not, the irresistibly cute Mimi hopped right up to her.
"H... hi? Mimi?"
"Delighted! I heard you're the master I'll serve at the Moon Palace. I, Mimi, will loyally assist in all your endeavors!"
Then the system window chimed quietly again.
Special Summon 'Delicious Waitress Mimi' recognizes user Moon Chae-ryeon as master.
'Delicious Waitress Mimi' bound to user Moon Chae-ryeon.
System: Special summons have their own ego. Proceed with the quest together!
It said its piece and scampered off again.
'Didn't even give me time to get mad this time!'
In the end, Chae-ryeon decided to ask Mimi her questions, just as the system had instructed.
"Um, Mimi. The system said I'm an S-Rank Dungeon Express Delivery Person..."
"Yes! That's right! You are a Dungeon Express Delivery Person, Master. A most special profession!"
"Uh... So for the tutorial quest, I have to take orders from hunters in the dungeon and deliver food? Is that true?"
Mimi nodded without a second's hesitation at Chae-ryeon's question. Her big ears flapped back and forth.
"It is true."
"Th-then what food do I give them? Do I make it myself?"
"That too is true! You can see it in your unique skills, Lady Chae-ryeon."
"How do I check my skills?"
"Say 'Skill Window,' and it'll appear. Likewise, say 'Inventory' to view your items. 'Check My Info' for your details, or 'Check My Location' for your position."
According to Mimi, it was like playing a game—just say what you need when you need it.
'I'd only vaguely heard about stuff like this.'
Who knew it'd happen to her.
An ordinary citizen who'd lived far removed from hunters, Chae-ryeon swallowed nervously, tense with anticipation.
'Let's check.'
"Check My Info."
Unique Skill: [Invincible Delivery Knight]
The essence of delivery is time and speed! Grants temporary invincibility during delivery—no interferers can touch you. Privilege to bring your cooked food into dungeons.
Current Quest: Tutorial - [Meal Prep!]
"Whoaaa..."
'It's real. I'm really an S-Rank Hunter.'
Stunned by the unbelievable reality, Chae-ryeon couldn't close her mouth for a while. Mimi hopped up and shut it for her.
"A bug might fly in, Master."
"Oh, right!"
"Check the rest too!"
"Got it! 'Skill Window,' 'Inventory'!"
