It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

"This is Fitness. Dessert has been completed."

"... just like the snow witch, Jess."

Two desserts are completed almost simultaneously. The gourmet master compares both dishes and announces the start of a tasting.

Well, first, let's get the gourmet hero to the tasting room.

As before, the dessert made by Fitis is carried to our table, which includes the jury seat.

"Oh, this is..."

"It's beautiful."

What was there was exactly the appearance of Western confectionery arranged on the table with the letter "Beauty".

Next to the chocolate mousse was an orange dazzling mousse in a glass bottle.

Each dessert was also decorated with accents such as mint and cream sauce, which was a good expression of what to see and taste.

"When it comes to desserts, food that requires delicacy in terms of its appearance. How gorgeous and beautiful it looks. Recent years have also demanded subtle skill in the appearance of desserts, which is a good example of a compromise that was not tolerated. Let me also check the flavour."

That's how the gourmet master brings the orange mousse and sweet dessert to his mouth, and then one step behind and we bring it back to our mouths.

The next moment, we ran to the tip of our tongues with a slightly spreading stimulus at the same time as the sweetness.

"Hmm, I can't believe this...!

I was a gourmet master who revealed astonishment at the slightly spreading stimulus to the tip of his tongue, but I also had a memorable taste.

But no way?! It was a shock whether it was possible to use this seasoning in dessert.

"That's not true. If you had a good guess, you might have understood, but the hidden condiment I used for dessert, it's black pepper."

It's just water and oil. Originally, it was a too irregular combination to even think of using it there.

Certainly, the technique of sprinkling salt on watermelons has existed for a long time, but this is a foolish act of sprinkling salt pepper on chocolate cakes. Everyone was supposed to think so, but...

"Surprised. I can't believe this stimulus of black pepper is actually going to deepen the taste of mousse."

Yes, the spiciness of the black pepper stimulating the tip of the tongue. On the contrary, it multiplied the original sweetness of the dessert.

"Usually, it is the royal road to add flamboise sauce such as caramel sauce or raspberry to cakes and mousses, but when the sweetness is entangled in the sweetness, the inherent sweetness of the cake can be blurred by the sweetness of the sauce. But by spraying a slightly sweet cake and mousse with a spicy spice called pepper, it enhances its natural sweetness enough."

As Phytis says, this spice is a truly unlikely combination, yet it adds to the sweetness inherent in dessert.

"The same goes for your chocolate mousse. This time, I chose Mousse as the dessert that best suits this pepper, and two orange confits with a concentrated aroma of chocolate and orange, which can be said to be the king of sweetness. Enjoy with Pepper."

Without asking the explanation of Fitis, the stimulation of the pepper on the chocolate mousse also enhanced the inherent sweetness of the chocolate. Either way, I didn't like the mousse so much that I couldn't stop carrying the spoon to my mouth.

This is exactly the revolution in Moose. Pepper cooking!

"Excellent. Such a novel cooking technique. It was something I had never tasted before. Gourmet, brave man."

Receiving the greatest compliments from the gourmet master, Phytis bows quietly and takes a step back.

This is quite a good impression, and I am sure it will be difficult for me to prepare any more desserts.

What kind of dessert will Jesus prepare in this?

"Then, the snow witch, YES. Prepare dessert."

Easy delivers dessert to all tables quietly, thanks to the gourmet master's announcement.

Arranged there were Japanese confectioneries that were so beautiful and sparkling that they trapped the letter Fantasy in a rectangular shape.

"Is this... wool spoon? No, amber spoon?"

It is one of the typical Japanese confectionery, a confectionery that uses agar to solidify in a solid manner.

In this world, slime jelly is used instead of agar, but the amber spoon made by Jesus is transparent, with colorful fruit condensed in it and lemons floating like lace in other beautiful yellow jelly.

One is the Mitsudo-style lamb soup that seems to have trapped the classic Japanese confectionery "Mitsudo" in it.

One is a beautiful orange amber soup with lemon and other citrus ingredients trapped in a light lemon color.

It was an artistic Japanese sweet that tasted good, just like Fitis.

"It's so beautiful. It is no longer an art to have such beautiful food."

I nodded without the admiration of the gourmet master.

When I was on Earth, I saw online images of souvenirs in Kyoto, such as lamb soup trapped in these starry skies, but this is just as artistic as Japanese confectionery.

Earlier, the color and arrangement of Phytis's dessert was also impressive, but it carried further beauty and fantasy.

"But no matter how good it looks, the taste is different. Now, let me see what it tastes like from such a beautiful appearance."

That's how the gourmet master slices the spoon, carries it into his mouth, and so do we.

At the moment, the shock that spread into our mouths was the flow of sweetness - but it wasn't just sweetness.

"This is... what a rich, fruity taste!

"Apple, cherry, kiwi and a variety of fruit flavors enhance the sweetness, but among them the lemon flavors enhance the sweetness due to the sourness!

Just like Fitz's pepper technique earlier, the sourness of the lemon fruit was instead spreading the taste of sweetness.

This is the polar region of Japanese confectionery and Western confectionery that is difficult for Party A and Party B. I appreciated that, but the gourmet master, who ate a bite of Jesus' amber soup, quietly meditated and announced.

"This... looks like a match."

And the judges around me nodded that they agreed, and...

"This match will be the victory of the Ease using Japanese sweets called amber soup."

Too soon, the victory and defeat of the vice-general match and dessert match was decided.

"Why, Gourmet Master"

Phytis questions the Gourmet Master's proclamation as a matter of course.

In contrast, the gourmet master quietly points to the lamb amber spoon in front of him, explaining why.

"First, you should taste this. Then you'll know why."

To follow the gourmet master's advice, Fitness puts the spoon between his eyes into his mouth.

Chew well and make sure it tastes good. Eventually, Phytis noticed a secret that had been planted on the spoon and opened his eyes to surprise.

"This is... no way"

"Yes, this soup contains no sugar that is said to be essential for dessert."

It is a seasoning that cannot be avoided in a dish called dessert, and it is an absolute law.

Gourmet Master says it doesn't exist in this amberjack.

In that case, I can taste the soup again with the feeling that I can't believe it, but I wonder if such a thing can happen while the sweetness is spreading, and the idea of a moment is overwhelming.

"This sweetness... did you only compensate for the sweetness caused by the fruit?"

Jesus nods quietly to Fitness's question.

Yes, the soup, the fruit lurking inside, as well as the bright color slightly attached to the agar that wraps the soup. All of this was made from the juice of squeezing the fruit.

It is composed of the pure sweetness of the fruit, without sugar, and further enhances the sweetness of the fruit with the accent of lemon and azuki.

Not only was it artistic in appearance, but it was decorated with all sorts of calculations.

It contains a compassion for nature's desserts and fruits, and Ethan's desserts argued that the sweetness inherent in nature, rather than the sweetness made from sugar, is the sweetest sweetness for people.

"... it's a complete defeat."

In the past, before something called confectionery was cooked on Earth, it was fruit that people used to eat when they were desserting.

It is said that the products that were born as sweets in the first period in Japan were processed into fruit called persimmons.

Perhaps in this world there was a time when fruit was called dessert, and the message that Jesus gave to this amber spoon embodied dessert called "natural fruit".

It can be said that it embodied the theme of this time, "dessert cooking" more deeply than anyone else.

The difference between winning and losing was not just a thought about dessert.

"But they were both great desserts. It is expected that the next dish will be: This battle is the victory of the Demon King's" Snow Witch ”Jesus!

Due to the gourmet master's announcement, our culinary battle here was in its final phase of two wins and two loses.
