41 41. "VS. Father." (1/2)

Well, and

The final is a week away.

I was back in my yard for the first time in a long time.

The ramshackle house in front of my yard was still on the verge of collapse and I remembered that I needed to repair it as soon as possible.

Master. What ingredients do you want to use for the final?

Hmmm... I guess so. Well, I guess I'll just have to use the demons I've raised, as usual.

The demons you raise are all very lively, so you'll be fine.

So, while answering Dora-chan's question on her head, Locke clings at her feet.

Now that I think about it, it's a busy place.

Nowadays, there are various demons growing in the field, such as mushrooms, weedleaf and bahanero, and some of them are walking around, but the demons I grew up with are relatively calm and do not harm humans.

That's true. If you've come this far, you should be able to compete with my brother's skills as a grower.

Oops, don't forget, there was also Jack who had evolved into a humanoid before you knew it.

Jack-o-lanterns also grow in abundance, of course, and some of them are ready for distribution in the city's grocery stores.

But are you sure about this?　I heard that the guy is your father.

”I've been doing some research on Kyou-sama's father, and it seems that he has received all five votes to date and has made it all the way to the finals.

Seriously? My dad was that dominant.

Well, it's probably fresh just because it's a vegetable, but when you cook with it, that's what you get for it.

Anyway, if you want to improve your cooking skills until the final, I'll help you.

Then in moderation, please. Just so you know, you don't want to go on a full-time retreat without sleep for a week.

I accept Kasarina's offer with open arms.

Mina, who was standing next to me, also offers her hand in response.

In that case, I'll go with you!　I'll work on my cooking further with Kyou too!　I couldn't help you much in the semifinals, but I will be able to support you in the finals with my cooking, so you can count on me, Keogh.

”Yeah, you're always a great help to Mina.

Seeing Mina's desperately trying to do her best for me, I'm determined to do the same.

Not only Mina, but also Lily and Fittis, who have supported me so far, I'm going to give it my all at the finals to live up to everyone who has supported me.

While I was in Mina's dining room for the first time in a long time, an unexpected visitor appeared.

”What is this raggedy diner. I still can't believe this place's representative beat me.

It's that genius, Shin-Do-Bird, who apparently heard about our location from the committee and came all the way to see us.

I mean, why did he come all the way to see you?
