40 "Vegetables and demons are a piece of paper." (1/2)

”Kyou!

As soon as my victory was announced, I heard a familiar voice from the audience.

”Lily and Mina!

There was Mina coming towards us with Lily.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it in time after all.

No, we won the game, so don't worry about it. By the way, Mina, how are you doing?

Yes, since then I've been brought to a villa-like place where some strange people have asked me to cook for them. ....... I tried to leave after I cooked, but the door was warded and I couldn't get out ...... but they didn't imitate me badly, so don't worry.

I see. Well, they were probably going to open the door a while after the game was over.

But next time, don't use your mother-in-law's tricks.

”Hey, what's that about?　I have no idea.

A genius who is clearly breaking out in a cold sweat while his eyes are swimming. You know it's obvious!

I'm really sorry, Kyou-san. For this big cooking competition, I had asked you to participate in the event, but I couldn't do anything, so I ended up leaving everything to Mr. Keogh: ......

That's not true. In fact, it's all thanks to Mina that I've come this far.

”Kyou-san: ......

As Mina and I were getting into a unusually good mood, I suddenly heard a voice from behind me.

”Ooooh, you made it to the finals, Kyou. You can do it!

”Looks like you're in the finals too. Dad.

When I looked back, there was a man with stubble and a stinky atmosphere, as if he were often seen in a detective story.

Haha, anyhow, this means that the final game will be against each other's fated opponent. Well, I'll take care of you.

There is nothing fated to my father as if it had just fallen out of nowhere, but well, even if he was my father . I'm going to go in there and smash him with everything I've got. I'll go in there and crush you with everything I've got.

Hey, by the way, let me tell you something. You may have made it this far by growing demons and cooking your own food, but don't think that's a privilege for you alone. Let me tell you what's more, you should know that there are people out there who are way ahead of you.

Then my father throws something at me.

The moment I receive it, I can't help but look in astonishment.
