Demon King Castle.

The castle existed at the end of Vendi Dart territory, west of the continent of Extents.

I imagined a terrible earth in the dark sky, a black castle rising there, but the opposite was true.

Surrounded by majestic nature such as quiet forests, majestic mountain ranges and beautiful lakes, the white majestic castle existed in the center of its natural fortress.

It was the most beautiful castle I've known since I moved into this other world.

When I stood in front of the door of the Demon King Castle, the door slowly opened, and from behind, a beautiful woman with black hair - my mother and demon king of the world - welcomed me with a smiling smile.

"Welcome, Kyo-chan, everyone, and you. I welcome you."

At the same time as I entered, I saw the shine of polished marble.

It is a structure that is more suitable for the royal palace than the exterior, and there are dozens of women in the large hall who come with human-shaped monsters and miserable maid clothes just after opening the door. As we enter, we bow together to welcome them.

Well then, shall I show you to the venue of the culinary battle?

As soon as we get inside, Mother walks out to lead.

Follow them slowly and ask for some confirmation in the upcoming battle.

"Mom, if we win this battle, will you stop invading the Kingdom of Valkyria and keep quiet?

"Yes, of course. At least for the next hundred years, I promise I won't take it from here. However, when they invade our territory and attack, we will only intercept them."

I look at Amaness in response to the condition from my mother.

She nods as if she was satisfied with it.

"I don't mind. If we don't attack from you, there's no reason to fight. To be honest, the quality of monsters in the Demon King Realm is the number one in the world, but the safety of our country is our top priority."

Well then, if we are mutually convinced, we will make a request when the Demon King wins, so we will keep the contract.

A calm expression and tone, but there was an absolute weight on the contract, and there was a pity that if we failed and did not fulfill the request, we would not leave it for free.

"Ah, yes. Or one. Mom, I heard there's a world tree species here. Really?

"Worldwide tree species? Yes, there is."

I knew it. I wonder why my mother has the seeds of a world tree.

Because he's a demon king? Because you're a demon king?

Drop Epic Items when you defeat the Demon King?

So what's wrong with that seed?

"Ah, if we win, can we get that too?

From the beginning, our aim was to gather the seeds of the world trees scattered throughout the world, and the end of the war between the Valkyrian kingdom and the Demon King's Land was only a means to obtain it.

It is a promise to receive seeds from the Valkyrian Kingdom by stopping the fighting, so if we can collect seeds from the Demon King side here, it is exactly one stone and two birds.

In response to my abrupt suggestion, my mother made me look worried for a while.

"What would Kyo-chan do if he got it?

"That's right. Well, I'm trying to grow up somewhere appropriate."

"Ah, after all, Kyo-chan was able to grow a world tree!

For the first time, Mother Demon King turned to me in surprise at my reply.

"Well, maybe. The goddess said I could do it."

"Yes, yes! That goddess has finally made up her mind! If that's the case, that's fine. If Kyo-chan plants seeds and the world trees grow, it's consistent with my purpose."

Does it fit your mother's purpose?

I wonder what that means.

"Anyway, when it comes to seeds, if Kyo-chan is responsible for raising them, I'll give them to you regardless of whether you win or lose."

Oh, I did it! Now that the seeds in the Demon King Castle are guaranteed, if you win the cooking battle from now on, you can get two seeds at once to achieve half the target number.

While I thought it would be a good idea to have a smooth negotiation, one day I came out in front of a big door, and when I opened that door, it was the venue that appeared beyond the big cooking competition one day.

And waiting for us at the venue were the demon kings, the Four Heavenly Kings, who were our opponents. Among them, I saw someone we knew besides the three I had seen before.

"Is that you, Easy?

It's Snow Witch Jesus. Doriand's best friend Dori was on her shoulder.

"Long time no see, Kyo-san. Unfortunately for this reunion, I, Jesus the Snow Witch, will stand with you in a cooking battle as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Devil, in accordance with the contract signed by the ancient Great Witch. and."

That's what Dori said on behalf of silent Jesus, and Jesus nodded.

I see. Well, there are a lot of things going on over there. All right, let's do everything we can to fight each other. "

With that said, I grabbed my hand back with my cheeks slightly red and lying down.

And a Gothlori eyeballs girl appeared in front of me to push her like that.

She did show up with one of the Four Heavenly Kings before.

"Kukuku, it's been a long time. Remember me? I am one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Dark Lady Hell. He's a child of darkness and a dark pet."

Yeah, that means you're wearing it.

It was the same when I saw it a little before, but it hurts. When I look at this child, my old painful memories come back to life.

That's right, when I was still in elementary school, there were two periods of cooking earlier than people, and when I screamed, I was reborn as a brave man, and one day I was summoned to another world and became a brave man... and now that I was a child, did my dream come true?

Well, that's okay.

"Ah, oh, I remember. I saw you on the battlefield the other day. I wish you a good match this time."

The kitchen girl stared at me with a roaring voice.

I wonder, don't you want me to be familiar with you because you're my enemy?

"Haha, I'm sorry. This kid is hard to handle among us. Don't worry about it. I am one of the Four Heavenly Kings“ The Holy Lion ”Spin. Please soften your hand in this cooking battle."

That's how a brown half-beastern man standing behind me grabs the root of a girl just named Hell and pulls it away from me.

Hmm, you're quite a gentleman. This looks strong.

"Well then, we've got players together, and I'm going to get a table from each faction to announce the first culinary battle, but before we do, I'd like you to take one of our suggestions."

Oh, you came here to suggest?

"In this culinary battle, we claim the right of our players to choose all the dishes on the subject. Of course, we're just asking for a little advantage over the advantages of cooking battles. I'd like you to make this kind of concession, but what do you think?

I see the same reaction to the demon king I propose.

Everyone thought something about it, but nobody seemed to disagree so strongly.

Well, it's true that this side has almost the highest power in the culinary world. In contrast, it is not a big problem as far as which dish to compete in, but rather that it burns.

I nodded to my mother's suggestion after checking everyone's reaction.

"Yes, that's Kyo-chan. Thank you. Now, may I ask all the judges invited for this culinary battle to announce the first round?"

That said, when the spotlight hit the back of the venue, there were five judges, including the old man, who was called the gourmet master.

What are you doing here?

"Now, we will announce the designated dish from the demon king side with the opponent in the first round."

Having said that, the combination vote in the first round, which was opened by Gourmet Master's hand, was a match that could be called Climax from the very beginning.

"First World War Himro-Chage vs." Demon King "Farvinyl"

"Designated dish: Mapo tofu"

My father and my mother. It was our strongest power versus the strongest over there.
