Coming out of the elevator was a woman chef, smiling and dragging a big tray of food towards us.
Apparently she hadn't forgotten to bring me food as I thought she would and went home after the event was over, but had actually prepared food.
Although I don't know what kind of food they usually eat in this era, I thought I wasn't very picky about food until I saw the dish made with okra in the center of the tray.
"Miss..."
"You can just call me Julie, Mr..."
"Mr. Michael. It's nice to meet you, Miss Julie. I didn't really expect you to bring food, thank you very much."
As I thanked her and carried the plates of food to my room, Howard asked if he could order dinner.
"I'm sorry sir, but the chefs have already gone home. Mr. Michael had already placed his order, so we prepared his meal before he left."
"That's a shame.
"Mr. Howard. Actually, I haven't liked okra since I was a kid. You can have it if you like."
My words seemed to please Mr. Howard, but the lady chef looked embarrassed and said that she had made this dish especially for me.
Obviously I am a man who can impress a woman as long as I talk enough, but I don't think I can impress a woman with my good looks without talking.
Maybe I attracted her because of my more modern haircut and the way I spoke.
Howard Stark winked at me and told me that I was old enough to eat food I didn't like, while I was surprised to suddenly be confronted with something that looked like a confession.
Even though I don't like okra, if the beautiful woman in front of me, with some of her hair faded, made this dish for me, I guess I could eat it.
Just as I was about to thank her again and tell her that I could eat the okra, she looked up, smiled and looked into my eyes. As soon as our eyes met, another image vaguely appeared in front of my eyes.
I remembered the color of her eyes when we had just met in the kitchen, which looked as if they were splashed with white paint, and I looked into her eyes.
After focusing a little more on the emotion I was feeling, I remembered every detail of the first time I met this woman in the kitchen in a split second.
But there was something strange, the shape of the spot on her right pupil was not the same as when I first met her. It looked as if the spot had rotated a little. But the pupils of a woman's eyes can't rotate, can they?
Meanwhile, the woman said something.
"I've been cooking this food for you for the last half hour and you say you don't like okra. Are you a child? Tch, whatever, all I have to do is kill you, after all?"
"Wait what!"
I was so confused by her words that I saw her pull a gun out from under the food tray and without hesitation I pushed Howard into the room and went in with him.
I was about to quickly close the door and lock it when the gunshots rang out and several bullets went through the door, passing close to my head. I locked the door, keeping my body as far away from the door as possible, and looked behind me.
Howard, as shocked as I was, had already recovered from the effects of the alcohol and was on his feet. At that moment there was a loud bang on the door, accompanied by the sound of a woman shouting from outside the door.
As I looked at the splinters of wood that were starting to break in the corners of the door, I decided I had to do something, so Howard grabbed me and pushed me across the room into the bathroom and said something in my ear before coming out of the bathroom and locking me in the bathroom.
"Speak loudly like I'm here and we're escaping out the window together and I'm going to crawl out from under the bed and disarm her while she tries to open the door."
The door locked on me and after a brief moment of silence I heard the sound of the door to the room breaking.
I quickly did my part and yelled at Howard to climb out the window and tell him that she had already broken the door. I also deliberately dropped some bathroom items on the floor. All I can do now is trust Stark, a scientist but part of the military.
When the woman kicked the bathroom door, I quickly went behind the door and supported it with my shoulder, while suddenly I saw a box floating in the air.
Thinking that the system might save me by some chance, I immediately opened the box and picked up the golden ticket. As soon as I picked up the ticket, it disappeared from my hand and a system message appeared in front of me
[ Talent raffle ticket is automatically used ]
[ Congratulations....
Before I could read the system's next message, my vision went dark as a huge amount of information was loaded into my brain.
After I don't know how much time passed, I managed to digest the information that had filled my brain.
In the meantime, I heard gunshots and the sounds of a man and a woman struggling outside the door.
Apparently the plan had not succeeded and Howard had failed to disarm the woman.
I quickly looked around for an item that I could use the skill I had acquired again. I took out the handle of the broom that was behind the door, broke it in half and held the wooden stick in my hand as if I was holding one of the floors, and then I opened the door.
Four hands were now holding the gun in the woman's hand as Howard and the woman struggled. As soon as the woman saw me, she stepped hard on Howard's foot with her high heeled shoe and made him scream and release himself.
Because the two of them were in the far corner of the room, she wanted to point the gun directly at Howard's head and fire it, but at that moment I reacted with extraordinary efficiency by stepping on the iron at the end of the bed and holding the stick in my hand like a sword and hitting her hard in the face.
