"Here you go. This is King Kraken Tempura, Colored Fish Steamed in Wine, Serpentine Gold, and Leviathan Casserole.

Gorgeous and gorgeous.
A series of treasures, just what you can call them, are laid out, all delivered to the mouths of the competition's jury members.

"Oh, this is wonderful. Only the ninth leg, the most delicious leg of the King Kraken, is deep fried and everything else is discarded. Cooking an A-grade monster so extravagantly is a true pursuit of taste.

The color fish is also rated F for danger, but as its name suggests, it is a monster whose shape and even color assimilate with its surroundings, making it as difficult to catch as a stray metal. Capturing such a large amount of it and making it boldly steamed in wine was brilliant.

The highlight of the dish is the Leviathan hot pot. A cooking method that draws out the flavor of the ingredients as they are by means of the broth made by boiling water, without damaging the white meat of the Leviathan, which is called a supreme article. This is the very dish that brings out the taste of Leviathan to the maximum. O wise and brave man!

Wow, what a storm of praise from the judges. There were some weird comments in the judges' impressions during the show, but the audience gave a big applause, too.
Kasarina looked at you with a triumphant smile, as if the match was already decided.
It's not easy to recover from this, isn't it?

Now, you haven't even received the necessary ingredients yet, let alone the food, is there enough time?　You're disqualified from this cooking competition if you don't finish your food in time.

Nuh-uh. As you say, it's quite severe . Mina is praying desperately next to me.
I'm not going to give up until the end, but this is getting uneasy.
Sensing my anxiety, Dora-chan, who has been hiding inside her chest, peeks out and smiles as if to reassure you.

"It's okay, master. Everyone will be here. Here.

After saying that, Dora-chan pointed with a smile and a white bird could be seen swooping down from far up in the sky towards this place.

It's here!

As if in response to my voice, several people jumped down from the giant white bird, Rock.
As soon as they landed there, a giant water dragon demon fell into this hall.

"Sorry for the delay, Kyou-sama.

"I got the Leviathan off to a good start, but I was hunting some other sea monsters and it took me a while,

With that said, out of the bag that Lily and the others held in their hands came a myriad of tickled seafood and monsters.
It's true that freshness is essential, but I didn't realize it was pickled in ice.
If you look closely, you can see Ys-chan, the snow witch, hiding behind Lily and the others, struggling to be seen.

I hope this was of some help to you, Kyou-san," said our Ys-chan. I'm sure this will help you a little bit," our Ys-chan says.

And on her behalf, Dori Dori, who was riding on her shoulder, says, "Of course.

Of course.

I send a thumbs-up sign with my best smile and gratitude.

I guess we have everything we need... I never thought you would get to kill the Leviathan. But there is little time left to prepare more than I can cook.

Kasarina is right, her refined cooking methods are truly first-class. She makes the most of the ingredients far better than us who are cooking the Leviathan for the first time today.

It's true that we couldn't beat you for proper cooking, Kasarina.

"Oh?

So I'm going to do it my way, with some fancy tricks.

Yes, you can't win in a proper cooking contest.
But cooking is not only about preparing good ingredients well.
It's about more than just preparing good ingredients.

In the case of food, the Japanese have a delicate palate and a unique way of cooking.
The power of mountain products (demons) to make the best use of marine products (demons).
Now I'm going to show you, wise man and hero!　I grew up cooking with demons!
