"How dare he, a chef, wander about in these troubled times?!"
This was what was on every villager's mind at the moment. Everyone had a befuddled look on their face, villagers and bandits alike. It never occurred to them that this chef would appear so calmly in front of the bandits.
Although bandits needed chefs, they would not treat the abducted chefs with respect, nor would they provide them with good food and accommodations. It was because no one knew if the chefs delivered to the Divine Chef Temple would be accepted. In fact, most of the chefs turned into corpses and died in a foreign land.
The Divine Chef Temple treated the accepted chefs nicely and would even provide source stones to them. However, it never paid too much attention to those it had eliminated. The eliminated chefs were losers, and no one would care what befell them.
