It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

"Well... thank you for keeping me waiting. This is one of the world's top three dishes, Chinese food."

It was lined up with Chinese rice bowls, Mapo tofu, and rice dumplings, shrimp chili, blue pepper silk, eight treasures, Chinese soup, and Chinese cuisine.

And in this world, the genre of Chinese cuisine itself has not been established.

All of the dishes served are entirely new dishes from the perspective of other people, and it is a dish that fully uses fresh ingredients such as vegetables.

My father nods at the supremacy he has won so far.

Or rather, I'm surprised that my father was so good at cooking.

Speaking of which, you said you were a cook when you were young...

"This is a very colorful dish. I've seen all kinds of dishes, but I've never seen anything so colorful."

"What a fragrance. It's not just the smell that drifts from the material itself, like when you bake meat or fish. This is exactly the smell of cooking. This is an appetizing scent."

Well, let's try that for now.

Father with the same calm attitude as usual, even before the judges' great admiration.

The judges slowly line up the dishes to be hurried by the father.

At that moment, they run to their tastes in the name of serenity.

"What a dish this is!

"Just tofu stains your appetite with unprecedented flavor and a good spiciness!

"Not just this dish! It has a peppery texture, but has less bitterness than that, and no more harmony with meat or sauce!

"No, the scary thing is that all this food has its own personality and its flavor solidifies like a genre. Moreover, this Oolong tea and tea naturally enters the mouth as if it were a drink prepared for this dish. This was also the case with the seafood cuisine of Kyo before, but the nature, harmony, and variations of this dish are all on top of it. I assure you, this is delicious!!

"Oops! Oh, no way! That gourmet master gave me the word that it was delicious!!

The audience was surprised not only by the judges' great admiration, but also by the assertion of the old man, who was called the gourmet master.

"Did you say Master Cage? It's called a name, it's called a cooking technique, and you're doing it with that butterfly..."

"Well, that doesn't have much to do with the game. Simply judge by taste without identification."

The gourmet master laughs at his father's remarks.

"Now, let's continue with Kyo & Mina's cooking!

I carry the cooked food to the host's call.

At that time, I would like to express my gratitude to Mina-chan who stands next to me.

"... thank you, Mina-chan."

"No, do exactly what Kyo thinks."

What it means. That was something the audience watched us cook.

I cooked alone in this final without Mina's help.

That was what I asked Mina the other day.

There were many reasons, but I really wanted to try to win this final with my father.

Casalina and Mina-chan taught me how to cook, the monster I grew up with.

I wanted to see how far it would go by hitting them all.

Of course, this tournament was also a tournament to improve Mina-chan's status as a cook, and she had a reason not to.

But she entrusted me with everything, saying, "It was Kyo who led me to this point, so I'll leave it to Kyo in the end."

To answer her expectations, I pour everything I can and spread the food before the judges.

"Thank you for waiting. This is my cooking."

Oh, this is...

Jack Au Lantern's soup spread out there. With Devil Carrot and Mandragola Flowers. Baked Entoke with Cocatrice Killer Plant Sauce

It was Mina-chan's first restaurant contest.

That was the first dish Mina cooked with the ingredients I had prepared.

However, the ingredients contained therein are a collection of monsters that I have cultivated since I came to this different world.

These are the first people I grew up with, and the ones I grew up with.

It would be too plain a choice from the point of view of this tournament, which is "cultivating food".

However, even if I set up a little work, I would go on top of it.

Then I dared to choose this dish.

The quality of the monsters I raised, their goodness, and that.

Mina-chan's technique, Casalina's guidance, Fitness's cooperation, and my skilled cooking at this tournament.

I bump them into each other.

Simple as that, that was the answer I found.

In a sense, the judges stretched out their chopsticks and slowly put them into their mouths during the culinary gathering.

Hmm.

"This is..."

The leakage from there is neither a huge feeling nor a compliment.

Just a sigh of admiration. Leaking only that, the judges silently put the food I had served into their mouths and noticed that everything was calming down.

"--It was a really good dish."

It was the same feeling that the first gourmet master leaked when he ate our food.

"Now, let's move on to the review! Please write the names of the more delicious judges and vote!

The whole venue calms down against the moderator's declaration.

And the first judge will evaluate you.

It says Cage.

"Whoa! The first vote was Himro-Chage!

At the same time as the noise of the audience, the judges' votes are revealed.

It says Cage again.

The host's voice echoes as to whether to take the final as it is, but it will be crushed by the next vote.

It says Kyo. That is, it was my name.

Even breathtaking time is not allowed, and the fourth vote is disclosed. What was there was also my name.

"Oh, my God! The myth of Cage's winning all votes is finally overturned! This gives us two to two votes! The final judgment was entrusted to the gourmet master!!

A thriving venue, whose enthusiasm is truly the culmination, while the quiet gourmet master takes the brush as if he had slowly decided something.

Running characters. Eventually, the brush stopped moving and the gourmet master's eyes looked at me and my father.

And his written name spreads quietly throughout the venue.

――――――

Was it me who took a breath? Or was it your father?

The whole venue was silent for a moment without even knowing it.

Eventually, however, blessings and cheers spread throughout the venue to celebrate the winners of the finals.

Me and my father just stood there quietly and watched the results.

"... uhh, my goodness. Well, regardless of the outcome, it was fun playing with you like this, Kyo."

That's how I see my father reaching out.

Oh, I see. Whatever the outcome, if we did everything we could, I'm qualified to hold that hand.

When she saw Mina, she spilled tears. When she looked at the audience seat, she saw Lily and Phytis holding Dora and Rock, who were also crying.

The only emotion I had in me was a sense of accomplishment.

A contest in which all efforts were made. I don't think I've done such a thing since I was born.

Whatever the outcome, I will not deny this clear feeling of my own right now.

"- But I won't lose next time. Father."

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it."

The winner's name is Himro Cage.

The Grand Cuisine Final - I had my first defeat in the battle.
