"That son of a b*tc*. How dare you invade while we have a truce?

Mr. Amanes, you are so foul-mouthed.
I'm sure you can understand that, and in the middle of the truce with the demon king's army, this spear-like invasion must be irritating.
The same is true for the other brave men and women.

"That sounds like the kind of thing that a self-centered man would do.

"I haven't met him, but I've heard that he's quite ambitious, and maybe he thought this truce with the Demon King's Army was a chance to take advantage of it.

This is also a very harsh assessment. Fittis, for example, has been unusually blatant in his tongue.

Well, in any case, if you're going to commit an act of aggression against our country, we'll get you back.

With that said, Amanes is ready to lead his troops in battle readiness.
Hey, hey, hey!　Wait a minute!　And before I could stop her, Lily stopped Amanes' action.

"Wait. You don't have time to lead an army right now. I think you should go hunt the hydra for the next cooking battle and spend the rest of your time improving your cooking skills for the real thing.

"Uggh, that's true, but ......

You can't help but stammer at Lily's argument.
You can't help but sigh as Lily replies to her, "I'll take your place.

I'll lead the army and intercept the imperial army of Albus for you. So you will concentrate on the culinary battle until the end!

Amanes was overcome with emotion as he prayed for Lily's unexpected help.

Lily, do me a favor and go to ...... for me!　How adorable~!

"Da-ka-ra!　I told you not to get attached!

Well, the reaction after that was the same as always.

I'm going to go stop the invasion of the Albrus Empire from now on, so I'll leave the cooking battle with the Demon King to you guys. It's the only thing I can do, to be honest.

Yeah, thank you, Lily. You've always had our backs, so I could focus on what I do. Thanks.

Lily herself thinks she has not been able to help with the cooking, but she has done everything I could not, such as killing Leviathan and looking for Mina during the grand cooking competition.
I couldn't have done it without her guards when I went to get the seeds of demons or when I was growing new ones.
In the first place, it was because of Lily's presence that I was able to start growing demons without worrying about it, so I can only be thankful for Lily's strength.

There is no need for you to be thanked for that. ...... I don't need anyone to thank me properly for that. ...... It's just that I do it because I want to. ...

But in response to those words of thanks, Lily turns away and mumbles her mouth.
It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends.






"Huh, an S-ranked demon is only a demon in my presence. It's amazing.

As he said this, the beaten hydra was lying at the feet of Amanes with a smug look on his face.
I knew it, but this guy is crazy strong.
I had heard that the strength of the Seven Heroes was comparable to that of an S-ranked demon, and since Lily, who actually gave her all, easily defeated one of the Four Heavenly Kings, I thought that she was actually more powerful than that, but this person is also quite beyond standard.
With the ability to instantly transform anything she touches into a weapon of her own imagination, countless weapons are created from the ground as soon as she touches the earth, and one after another they are launched at Hydra.
To be honest, I'm just wondering what kind of Unlimited Blade Works she is.
I'm sure Lily is probably a better fighter as an individual, but when the opponent is a huge target or a large number of people, the weapons that are released are inexhaustible and powerful.
It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

Let's just bring back some meat!

So says Amanes, who judges it with his prized crystal cleaver.
As I watched with a sideways glance, I noticed something on the ground near the fallen hydra.

Hmm, what is this?

They were huge eggs, no bigger than a human child's size.
There were a few of them stuck together.

Hey! That's a Hydra egg! That's unusual. It's a rare find.

"Oh, that's a Hydra egg!

Definitely big. We've done that before with Locke's Egg. Well, it's a little smaller than that one.

Hey, Dad, can't I bring these home?

Hmmm, I don't see why not. What, are you trying to raise a hydra?

Ah, well, yeah. I mean, since we found it, I thought it would be better to grow it rather than just let it sit there.

My father smiles at my words and Fitis, who has followed me, looks slightly worried.

But, Kyou-sama, is that all right?　It's a very poisonous and dangerous demon. It also has a propensity to attack anyone who enters its territory without mercy, and if anything happens to Kyou-sama, please visit ......

Well, I'll figure it out. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can do this. If it doesn't work, then I'll ask your war hero at .......

"Oh!　I got it!　I'll hunt Hydra as much as I can!

Saying that, Amanes is in a groove and wielding a crystal knife in his hand.
So please don't do it out of danger.






Now, three days from the appointed date. The second round will be a sashimi showdown. Are both sides ready?



"Amanes the Warrior. Ready when you are.

"Holy Lion Spin. . same as at any time.

Then came the spearhead of the cooking battle.
It seems that Amarnes had been practicing daily slicing through the flesh of the hydra he had brought back since then, and had received some advice from Kasarina and his father afterwards.
According to what I've heard, the flesh of the hydra has a number of light purple stains on it, which are poisonous to the body, and if you don't cut off all of them, you can't use them for cooking.
As far as I could tell, there were purple stains on more than half of the meat, and it would be difficult to cut them all off, but Amanes looked confident.
In this case, I have no choice but to trust her to the end and watch this culinary battle play out.

The battle for the Demon King's Cuisine Battle spearhead will now begin!

At the same time as the pronouncement of the gourmet master, Amanes' crystal kitchen knife shone, and his brilliant knife-work sparkled.
