Even the Devil Finds This Too Spicy

It wasn't long after The Burning Dragon and the Hero's Noodles became an item supplied to the Imperial Family that Irena Walt came to visit again.

At first, I almost didn't recognize her.

When she had come to Maison Montbell before, she had seemed hollow inside.

She had been happy after eating the gomtang I'd painstakingly prepared and finding that it had a little flavor, but she still hadn't been able to taste it properly, which had been a real shame.

Her name occasionally came up among mages at the Magic Tower or nobles who liked heroic tales.

I'd hear that Irena Walt had hunted monsters somewhere, rescued people at some border, or refused a request from some noble family.

Whenever I heard such stories, I hoped that she was doing well, at least.
