I Favor the Villainess

"Come on, here we go. Ah, the First Empire Lunch Cooking Competition! The reality is Atashi, Lana-Rana. Description is auntie in the dining room and Marte-Borrell! Nice to meet you!

"Something's happened, but, well, thank you."

A voice amplified by wind magic echoed throughout the venue.

This is an event venue created temporarily in the central square of the Imperial Room.

There's a kitchen in the center, and the audience surrounds it.

"It's been amazing."

"I didn't think this would happen."

I snort, too, at the words of Master Claire, who tells me like a snort.

The number of spectators was tremendous, and it distorted how the imperial people's interest in this event was high.

It was a culinary battle I thought I would just finish inside, but it was sometime made a big deal by Hilda's hands.

They aim to make a broad appeal that the imperial cuisine will change, but at the same time, I guess they're going to put it in her hands.

Absolutely, there's no way out.

Three judges sit in front of the kitchen.

The first is Filine.

It's no wonder she's here, because it determines the Empire's main meal.

Sitting with a nervous face.

The second is Dorothea's sidekick.

His name seems to be Mr. Joseph.

I know you're used to going out in public, but I don't know where it is.

What a third, Emperor Dorothea-Nah, is that person.

The Emperor's own attendance is another big thing, but can I put this on you, Emperor?

Philine glances at Dorothea all the way after she gets to her seat.

When it comes to Dorothea, on the other hand, it's not in my eyes about Filine or anything.

This mother and daughter also seem to have deep grooves in many ways.

Because Filine is on the Claire route, there has been no progress in the relationship.

"Heh, that's what I didn't run from with my tail wrapped around it. Then praise me."

Master Chef, dressed in white cock clothes, snorted roughly.

He brings his men and the squishy cooks and stares at them as they arm themselves and royally stand.

"There's no way we're getting away with this. There's no way we're gonna lose."

"Ha! Don't bark at me later!

"Welcome!

Master Chef and Master Claire are heating up early.

"Ooh, there's a spark between the two as soon as possible! This is going to be a fierce battle, Mr. Marte in the commentary!

"I don't care about anything, but if it's an injury, I don't want you to. If you're a cook, you can fight with flavor, with flavor."

"Exactly. No! Come on, it looks like it's time to start! We always send this event to your side, courtesy of the Fratel Chamber of Commerce -!

Whoa!?

When I looked at Lene for information I couldn't even think of, I was tongue-in-cheek with Peroli.

That's Lene.

I hate the merchant soul.

"Well, with the opening remarks -! Sire Dorothea, thank you!

"Uhm."

Dorothea takes a seat and proceeds to the central front of the square.

When the Emperor appeared, the audience became as quiet as they hit the water.

It is a boulder charisma.

"This is a great opportunity for the food of the Empire to change. Everyone can only see with their eyes. I won't call the imperial cuisine poisonous anymore."

The audience boiled down to a brief, Dorothea-like greeting.

Her popularity is really amazing.

"Thank you, Sire Dorothea! Let's move on to explaining the rules. The battle is between appetizers, meat dishes, and desserts. It's better to get ahead of two."

I've managed to think about cooking itself, but how far can I compete with a real craftsman opponent?

Well, if you've changed your mind about food in the Empire so far, it's like you've achieved your purpose by this point.

"Let's start with an appetizer. Okay, here we go... here we go!

The sound of the drums rang.

The cooks start to move in a hurry.

"Misha, Eve, can I help you with anything?

Basically, I leave it to the two of us, but even I can help.

To my offer, the two of you shook your heads,

"Keep an eye on Ray."

"Please sit down."

And they said it terribly.

Both Misha and Eve are ice and snow based, so it gets a little sloppy when you two say that.

Or a reward for being sleeved by two beauties.

"Misha, good luck to you, Eve!

May is cheering from the backup seat on Bauer's side.

May is joining us today with support.

She can cook too, but she hasn't reached as much range as Allea.

May's voice arrived or Misha waved to the backup seat.

Eve also looks at you and nods and shows one.

"Whoa? The imperial side has prepared mushrooms, haven't they?

"That's a leech on Shimeji, Maitake and Eringhi. I got it this time of spring."

"Hmm? You mean rare ingredients, right? On the other hand, Bauer seems to use onions and bacon."

"Because onions are delicious this time of year. I think it's the king's choice."

The reality of Lana and Mr. Marte echoes the venue.

It's an impromptu combination, but you're breathtaking, those two.

"Eve, are you made of fabric?

"Yes, senior. All you have to do is bake. The oven is also overheated."

"Thank you. I'll take care of it later."

"Please"

Misha and Eve are also breathtaking.

It's something with a similar personality, maybe it's easy to do with something.

The cooking went well as it was.

"Done."

"Not this way either. No!

Both the Bauer and the Imperial sides were completed without particular problems.

"Looks like they're both done. Let's move on to real food. Let's start with the Empire side. Ooh!

Inspired by Lana's reality, the chef's master fed the judges.

The appetizer on the Imperial side...

"No with four mushroom lemon marinades."

Chef explains.

I don't care, but why is this guy, Edoko toned?

"I've never seen an empire so bad."

"Imperial accent!?

From the trunk of the name, I was quite shocked to think that the imperial motif was around Germany.

Ya, the food situation looks British around, and I don't know what all the mess is.

Aside from that, it is the appetizer of the chef's master.

"I carefully put the four mushrooms through the fire, careful not to burn them, and marinated them with lemon sauce. All the mushrooms used are rare mushrooms that have bloomed mad. It's an appetizer that enjoys flavor and fragrance."

Mushroom marinade?

That would be delicious.

Even in the twenty-first century, it often appears in Italian appetizers.

"So, judges, you're up for it!

Lana prompted the judges to mouth the marinade.

All three let their eyes shine.

"This is... delicious. The scent of mushrooms spreads through my mouth..."

"Marinated liquid is delicious, too. The refreshing aroma of lemon enriches the palate even more."

"I don't know how difficult the rest is, but this is delicious"

Seems pretty well received.

"Then continue with the dishes on the side of the Kingdom of Bauer - wow!

Misha and Eve provided a meal.

The appetizer on Bauer's side...

"It's a new onion and bacon pie."

Eve took over the explanation after Misha said her cooking name.

"Tons of new onions were sautéed carefully with bacon, bringing out gentle sweetness and flavor, and baked in pie dough. Enjoy."

It looks more like a quiche appetizer than a pie.

That's all freshly baked quiche is already delicious.

The judges extended the fork here as well.

"Oh, this is delicious, too. What a nostalgic flavor."

"The new onion is sweet. That's the taste of the season."

"Hmm. This is delicious too"

This is not a bad feeling either.

The judge finished the dish.

"So, judges, which was delicious, name your bills!

Drum rolls flowed in vain elaborate performances... the judges raised their bills at the same time as they stopped.

"Two Imperial votes, one Bauer! With the victory of the Empire! Hmm!"

"Well, I guess so."

Marte in the commentary said relax.

"Try to find a reason to judge -!

"Erm, they were both delicious, but the novelty brought them up to the chef master"

"I supported Bauer because of the seasonal flavour."

"The marinade was better. That's all."

I regret it, but I have no choice but to accept the consequences.

"I'm sorry, Ray. I lost."

"... excuse me"

"No, I'm fine. There are still two dishes."

Yes, the battle is still to come.
