I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 57
#57. Banquet of the Gods (2)
âSo, today you have an important task at the Banquet of the Godsâ¦â
Namshin, who is almost completely naked, looks around the crowd and continues his long speech.
There were about twenty people gathered in front.
Among them were Damdeok and Jusoyul.
âDo I have to work for such an ordinary guy? âSomething hurts my pride.â
Damdeok muttered softly as he licked his lips.
âEven though he looks like that, he is probably a mid-level god with authority delegated by Zeus.â
Even though Jooyul said that, Damdeok still had a somewhat depressed expression on his face.
âI thought Iâd see Zeusâ¦â
âIâll see him soon anyway, but⦠youâre upset?â
âwhat? What is heartache? âAm I a kid?â
Ju Soo-yul turned his head without saying a word.
That feels even worse!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHey, no.â
âOkay, I understand.â
âafter.â
Actually, what Jooyul said is correct. I finally got this part-time job after applying three times.
But everyone looks like an ordinary god.
If this happens, wouldnât I, who have failed twice, become too small?
âWow, I canât believe I got rejected twice while looking for a part-time job as a server!â
The recruitment notice stated that the minimum physical strength was 50,000, but for some reason, I was rejected as soon as I clicked on the application.
I didnât understand. Damdeokâs spiritual power was 70,000 units at that time.
The fact that I found out that the average strength of the other applicants was over 90,000 was purely thanks to Joo-yulâs tip.
âIn the end, they only accepted me after hitting 90,000, damn Olympus.â
To achieve that, we had to go around many gates and have a black salt party.
There was a funny incident where the cameraman was told that he couldnât enter the gate, so Joo-yul had to carry himself inside.
âWell, thanks to the good address rate, I was able to quickly increase my stamina.â
Anyway, there was no place like this for his strategy, so what could he do if he didnât like it?
âOkay then, please read all the precautions and letâs move on!â
The part-time workers moved slowly following the instructions of the shirtless Namshin.
As I left the small clearing and went straight up the winding hill, the pure white clouds beneath my feet were truly fantastic.
âWow, how high is it here?â
âIt will be about 3000m above sea level.â
Damdeokâs mouth opened at those words.
ââ¦But Iâve been curious about this for a while. What do you not know?â
Naturally, Ju Ju-yul chewed those words.
I was able to reach the Temple of Olympus in less than 5 minutes.
At the end, the slope was almost 90 degrees, so it was impossible to climb up without strength.
âWow⦠thatâs crazy.â
The Temple of Olympus unfolding before my eyes was much more beautiful than I had imagined.
Just looking at the pure white pillars built in the ancient Greek architectural style made my heart feel majestic.
Before I had time to take my time to appreciate it, I heard a voice urging me from behind.
âCome on, the banquet is in 3 hours from now, so letâs move quickly!â
The man who guided us pushed his back.
The place we arrived at was a huge kitchen, like something you would only see in a dream.
âWhy is the kitchen so big and so white?â¦â
âOlympus kids like white things.â
âThere you two! âStop making a fuss and quickly get some food!â
The chef who shouted like that was a goddess of outstanding beauty.
Even though she was holding a bloody kitchen knife in both hands and her eyes were glaring, beauty was quietly overflowing.
The real work began.
Unsurprised by the size of the banquet hall, which was several times larger than the large kitchen, about 20 part-time workers began to get busy setting up tablecloths, napkins, and cutlery.
Still, since everyoneâs physical strength exceeded 90,000, they were able to complete the complex setup process quickly.
But the real work started then.
âruler! Vegetables and seasonal fruits sent by Demeter (goddess of grain)!â
âThis is the rum sent by Dionysus (the god of wine)!â
âTransport all the wild boar meat that Artemis (goddess of hunting) slaughtered!!â
The work began by taking charge of several auxiliary kitchens behind the main kitchen, one by one, and moving the ingredients coming up from the bottom of the mountain to the main kitchen.
Food quickly piled up in the backyard of the auxiliary kitchen.
âWhy are there so many!â
The actual serving work had not even begun yet, and I was about to use up all my energy moving the food ingredients.
â will!
âAhh! Baek Seol, wonât you put that down?!â
To make matters worse, Snow White was drooling over the food ingredients and making a bad move.
Probably because all the food is of the highest quality.
Actually, my mouth was watering while I was moving it.
âYou man, stay in peace!â
I grabbed the scruff of the neck of the guy who was about to bite the boarâs hind leg and shoved it into the back of my neck.
Herculesâ lion skin was worn like a hooded hat, leaving a lot of space behind the neck.
âItâs a good thing youâre small.â
I felt a heavy weight on the back of my neck and looked straight ahead again.
A sky pulley moves constantly on a steep cliff.
Food pouring into the backyard again.
A sigh escaped me.
Itâs been a long time since Iâve used my body so purely since toiling in Thorâs dungeon.
Looking around, I saw that in the backyard right next to me, Juryul was quietly and quickly moving materials, and beyond that, other gods were mobilizing priests to carry out the work efficiently.
Damdeokâs eyes sparkled.
âWhoa!â
I straightened my back and calculated my remaining strength.
âKkkk, thatâs why a lot of spiritual power was needed.â
The âGodâs Callâ power does not consume divine power as much as you might think.
Rather, it is difficult to use the Opening Ceremony skill, which continuously reduces spiritual power. This is because the call of a god only costs one amount of divine power when it is first called.
âEh?â
âwhat?â
Before we knew it, Baekgureum and Adele Sharon, who had been summoned, were looking at Damdeok with puzzled expressions.
âCome on guys.â
Damdeok smiled and pointed at the ingredients that were piling up like a mountain.
White Cloud and Adele Sharonâs expressions became increasingly rotten.
âhey! Are you crazy?! âI was filming a movie right now?!â
âOh brother! âI was also at a very important press conference!â
Despite the twoâs loud complaints, Damdeok ignored them and pushed his back.
âLetâs sleep, guys. Get rid of worldly attachments! Did you forget? âIf we cannot prevent Ragnarok (War of the Gods), there will be no future for this world.â
At Damdeokâs words, Adele Sharon and Baekgureum made sullen expressions.
ââ¦What does delivering food have to do with preventing the war of the gods?â
âI know yeah.â
The two looked at Damdeok carrying the ingredients alone with a displeased expression.
Eventually they had to roll up their sleeves.
âKwaaah! âWhat is this rum barrel thatâs so heavy?!â
Adele Sharon screamed all sorts of things and dragged a large barrel of rum, while Baekgureum said that he could not bear Damdeok and started carrying several pieces of fruit on his back.
When I did it alone, I accumulated more than I could move, but when we all did it together, it ended quite smoothly.
âWhoa, good job everyone.â
Damdeok wiped the sweat flowing down his face and gave him a thumbs up.
White Cloud and Adele Sharon were already sprawled out in the backyard, breathing heavily.
When I glanced to the side, I saw that Jooyul had moved all his luggage without breaking a sweat.
âWhat a monsterâ¦â
Damdeok shook his head and entered the auxiliary kitchen.
Part-timers stood in front of the doors of several auxiliary kitchens connected to the main kitchen.
The chef, who was standing in the center of everyone surrounding one main kitchen with his arms folded, nodded in satisfaction.
âEveryone listen carefully. It doesnât matter whether you hire a priest or someone from the auxiliary kitchen there, here! There are no mistakes in my kitchen! Do you understand what I mean?!â
Ariel, the beautiful chef who served as the master chef for this banquet of the gods, began to assign tasks to each of the part-time gods, starting with a fierce warning.
âYou trim the ingredients!â
âYou wash fruit!â
âLetâs make soup!â Cut vegetables! Chop meat!â
âNow everyone, move quickly!â
The kitchen started to run noisily.
Jooyul had a high average physical strength, so he got to work in the main kitchen, and Damdeok, Adele Sharon, and Baekgureum returned to their assigned auxiliary kitchen and began to carry out their duties.
âReally, do I have to be here chopping green onions? uh?!â
Da da da da da!
With his quick knife skills, Baek Gureum cut the green onion to pieces and glared at Damdeok.
Damdeok was nodding his head with a happy face.
Perhaps because he was a swordsman genius, his sword skills were exceptional.
Next to the huffing White Cloud, Adele Sharon was also glaring at Damdeok as if he were going to kill him.
âI was crazy for wanting to become a priest⦠me in the past! die!!â
Grumble! Good luck!
Adele Sharon summoned fireballs in both hands and was grilling meat until golden brown.
Even though Adele Sharon has mana deficiency, she can create enough flames to grill meat.
A satisfied smile spread across Damdeokâs lips.
âGood good! âAs expected of my priests.â
âNoisy!â
âIâll kill you!â
After lightly laughing off the twoâs vicious cries, Damdeok also rolled up his sleeves and started working.
Burbubbuk! Plop!
A fist filled with divine power repeatedly strikes the thick body of a wild boar.
The sound of it being rolled up somehow felt like a training punching bag.
When everyone in the kitchen is busy doing their work,
wow!
De-eng!
A large bell rang.
Soon, the Master Chefâs shout was heard.
âThe banquet is starting! âAll the hall servers come out!!â
* * *
ââ¦Why are you dressed like that?â
Master Chef Ariel tilted her head and looked at Damdeok.
âUmâ¦is it strange?â
Damdeok looked at Ariel while holding a large roast turkey in his hand.
It was quite a strange combination, wearing shiny lion armor and holding a plate of food.
âIt looks too flashy⦠but since itâs a banquet, maybe that would work betterâ¦? Hmm, you look really similar to Hercules.â
Ariel muttered and motioned for them to just go.
âHercules, you donât have such a tight personality. okay! Itâs nice to have a banquet feel! Pass! Now next!â
Before the final serving, Damdeok passed Arielâs inspection safely(?) and headed towards the banquet hall with somewhat lighter steps.
Just about ten steps from the main kitchen, I passed the guests arriving one after another and placed the roast turkey in the designated spot.
âJeo So-yul said he was worried about whether this operation would workâ¦.â
I am unconditionally confident.
Iâm sure it will work.
âHas Hades not come yet?â
As I was taking a quick look around, I heard a familiar voice.
[No, who is this? [My lovely student~ Isnât he Yu.Dam.Deok!!]
This extremely greasy and over-the-top voiceâ¦
As expected, as soon as I turned around, a handsome man with blond hair caught my eye.
âHaha hello Apollo.â
As Apollo gently wrapped his arms around his shoulders, a series of loud voices were heard.
[No, itâs not Damdeok! Your outfit is very cool! As expected, you are full of passion!]
[Thatâs right, you have a part-time job as a server! Cancer is a romantic thing!]
As Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, began to laugh around Damdeok, the other gods who were sitting began to glance at him.
âhmm? âItâs my first time seeing this face.â
âSo you look very much like Hercules.â
âHaha! Food served by Hercules! âDo you think this will taste good?â
âHahaha! âI kind of like that guy!â
The atmosphere was positive.
Perhaps it was because three people of the main lord level showed favor at once, and perhaps it was because the lion armor I wore was a symbol of Hercules.
âHercules has a good reputation among the gods.â
He was a hero who saved Olympus from the war with the Titan gods.
After a brief greeting with the familiar gods, Damdeok quickly began serving.
The wind sprint skill added a refreshing sense of speed, and the double serving with Baekseol was also shown as an event.
The godsâ reaction was truly explosive.
Every time food was placed, a whistle was blown, cheers erupted when several pieces were thrown at once, and when Baekseol carried the food in a cute and fluffy manner, people burst out laughing!
Chef Arielâs expression was also very satisfying.
It was then.
[â¦Ugh.]
A wet and creepy voice struck Damdeokâs whole body.
I definitely felt like all my nerve cells were on edge.
Damdeokâs head slowly turned.
I saw a huge shadow hanging over the entrance to the banquet hall.
The man in the darkness, swallowing up even the dazzling sunlight, looked at Damdeok and smiled.
[I managed to find a place to die on my own.]
