"I'm sorry, Mr. Keough, folks, for all those big words, ......, you did not mean to do this.

"Don't worry about it, Phytis. You've done enough.

With the game won, Fitis is the first to apologize to the team.
You're going to be able to get a good deal more than just a few minutes of your time.

I'd rather be abused by my master in this kind of situation ...... than to have a seat in a cooking competition," she said.

Oh, my God. It was more like Fitis's pride couldn't forgive her own defeat than I thought.
Rather, in this case, I got the sense that she was annoyed that she hadn't been able to contribute to us with her victory.

Then do your best next time. At least I don't feel like I'm a burden to you, Fitis.

"Kyou-sama ......

Put a hand on my shoulder and step forward to let me do the rest.
That's right, the next and final game, the fifth and final battle for the general. It's almost as if the match is already decided.

Now, we will announce the pairings and the designated food for the next and final game.

At the same time as the gourmet master's declaration, the final table is revealed.
The names on it are as expected, and unexpectedly, the names of the designated dishes.

The fifth round, Kyou vs Helu, Princess of Darkness
Designated Cuisine: Japanese Cuisine

Yeah, I knew my opponent. Because she was the only one left.
Well, I was more than a little surprised that she was the captain, but I was even more surprised by the food.
What "Japanese" cuisine? Where is "Japan"?

"Uh, uh, sorry. Gourmet Master. Just to be sure, what's the Japanese word for Japanese food?

This is a part that should not be touched, but I want to check it while I can, because once it's on my mind, I can't seem to leave it.

''Hmm. Don't you know anything about Japanese? Well, that can't be helped. It's from a small island nation in the far east. Calling it Japanese, the culture and even the cuisine of these island nations is truly unique and has struck a chord with some food connoisseurs. ......

"I mean, is there a Japan in this world?

Or at least a Zipangu or something a little more otherworldly?
Oh, but Japanese food is quite good for me.
For now, I'll have to check how much Japanese food has developed in this world later.
I wonder if SUSI is already a part of that Japanese cuisine.

"Click, click, click, click, click, the next designated dish will be to your advantage on this one, right?

I looked and saw that girl standing in front of me in a typical Jojo standing pose, as if covering one eye.
Wait a minute. How did you know she's a good fit for me?

I'm not going to let my evil eye see into any of my opponent's past. It's easy to see where your past comes from: ......

A clairvoyant-like ability?
Oh, but it can see places, not the past.
So, is it that kind of evil eye ability?
Hmmm, it really smells like a kitchen.

Do you know what's good for you when you go out of your way to choose my favorite dish?

"No problem. . this much salt, I'd rather send you a batch.

What you get is an overwhelming confidence in your own cooking.
You are the person she chose to be the captain, albeit in a perverse way. Perhaps she's not just a painful girl.

The next and final showdown is in three days. Both sides should be ready.

The gourmet master, as if reckoning with the end of our greeting, declares that.
But just before he turned his head slightly, he saw that his red eyes were filled with a crimson murderous intent, as if he wanted to catch me and not let me escape.






"But Japanese cuisine? I've heard about it from my master, but I don't know much about it. The other side is not to be underestimated when it comes to specifying dishes that are only found in such a remote area.

No, don't worry about it, Fitis. Japanese food is my specialty. Because I'm from there, I'm like .......

"!　It was!　That's what I'm talking about, Kyou-sama!　It's great to be from that remote area!

In preparation for the preparations for the next three days, I, rather than us, went back to my yard and moved into my new house.
By the way, this new house is a two-story wooden house, just like the houses I used to fantasize about.
Oh, a house in a fantasy world is the best!

Well, though, let's not be too careful. The fact that the young lady requested the Japanese food from you suggests that she has a lot of confidence. And most of all, don't forget your mother's over there.

The father's advice, of course, went without saying.
If you have a mother over there, the food they serve is the very cuisine of modern Japan.
The Japanese have the most delicate palate on the planet, and their food is also said to be the best in the world.



Your opponent will have inherited Japanese cuisine from your mother, who has all of her skills intact.
Then we can't let our guard down. We have no choice but to make the best ingredients and the best Japanese food that we can make the most of.

Well then, shall we go for it?

"Go, I say, where to?

I answer to Fitis, who stands up and gives me a questioning look.

Of course. All I can do is grow demons. Then there's only one thing to do.

I've been out there for the past few months. I've been growing seeds from my travels, captured monsters, and even fallen and strayed eggs in my garden, where a much greater variety of monsters are growing and grazing than ever before.

It's a demon harvest!
