Well, and

The final is a week away.
I was back in my yard for the first time in a long time.
The ramshackle house in front of my yard was still on the verge of collapse and I remembered that I needed to repair it as soon as possible.

Master. What ingredients do you want to use for the final?

Hmmm... I guess so. Well, I guess I'll just have to use the demons I've raised, as usual.

The demons you raise are all very lively, so you'll be fine.

So, while answering Dora-chan's question on her head, Locke clings at her feet.
Now that I think about it, it's a busy place.
Nowadays, there are various demons growing in the field, such as mushrooms, weedleaf and bahanero, and some of them are walking around, but the demons I grew up with are relatively calm and do not harm humans.

That's true. If you've come this far, you should be able to compete with my brother's skills as a grower.

Oops, don't forget, there was also Jack who had evolved into a humanoid before you knew it.
Jack-o-lanterns also grow in abundance, of course, and some of them are ready for distribution in the city's grocery stores.

But are you sure about this?　I heard that the guy is your father.

"I've been doing some research on Kyou-sama's father, and it seems that he has received all five votes to date and has made it all the way to the finals.

Seriously? My dad was that dominant.
Well, it's probably fresh just because it's a vegetable, but when you cook with it, that's what you get for it.

Anyway, if you want to improve your cooking skills until the final, I'll help you.

Then in moderation, please. Just so you know, you don't want to go on a full-time retreat without sleep for a week.

I accept Kasarina's offer with open arms.
Mina, who was standing next to me, also offers her hand in response.

In that case, I'll go with you!　I'll work on my cooking further with Kyou too!　I couldn't help you much in the semifinals, but I will be able to support you in the finals with my cooking, so you can count on me, Keogh.

"Yeah, you're always a great help to Mina.

Seeing Mina's desperately trying to do her best for me, I'm determined to do the same.
Not only Mina, but also Lily and Fittis, who have supported me so far, I'm going to give it my all at the finals to live up to everyone who has supported me.

While I was in Mina's dining room for the first time in a long time, an unexpected visitor appeared.

"What is this raggedy diner. I still can't believe this place's representative beat me.

It's that genius, Shin-Do-Bird, who apparently heard about our location from the committee and came all the way to see us.
I mean, why did he come all the way to see you?

"...... Here it is.

With that, she handed me several bottles, the contents of which seemed to be spices.
Well, what is this?

"The spices I mixed myself. I tailored it to match the curry you made the other day. Use it gratefully.

So saying that, I turned away and walked away. But on the way home, you look back at me with a blush on your face.

You've beaten me, so you should win the final too!

What is it? Maybe it's the new tsundere.
I'll take what you give me at any rate, but I'm sorry, Shin.
I don't plan to make curry in the finals: .......

The week leading up to the finals is passing by in the meantime.
It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on some of the best products and services on the market, it's also a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on some of the best products and services on the market, and it's also a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on some of the best products and services on the market. I received a shout-out from them.

After all, I couldn't grow any new monsters or vegetables in a week's time.
I wasn't about to lasciviously change something that's growing so well now.
We'll just have to use everything we have. That's what I decided.

And one week later.
The finals of the grand culinary arts competition. On that stage, there was an unprecedented audience and fervor.

At long last, ladies and gentlemen!　Finally, in the center of the world, the finals of the greatest culinary competition of all time will begin!

The excitement in the crucible of the venue is further heightened by the voice of the MC.
Mina and I quietly walk up to the stage, wrapped in the heat.

Now, let me introduce the two finalists. Who would have guessed that the chef and his cultivator, who emerged from an obscure diner, would be the last ones to remain on this grand stage!　Mina & Keogh players!

As we were introduced, there were many cheers from the audience, and when I saw that Lily, Fitis, Kasarina, Ys, Dora, and Rock were all cheering for us.

And one of them, also completely unexpected!　Like Mina & Keogh, it's the first time to compete in this tournament as a complete unknown!　The dark horse of this year's tournament, despite the fact that its record is all overwhelming!　Himlo-Keiji!

On stage to receive the same or even greater cheers as us is my father, HIMURO Keiji.

"Hey, how's it going, Kyou. Did you do something about it?

"You can't do this in a week. It's just a matter of using all the ingredients and skills we have.

My father smiles happily at my response.

"Yeah. Well, let's see what you got there.

At the same time as his father's answer, a voice from the mouth of the presenter announces the start.



"So, the final of the grand culinary competition -- let's go!
