42 42. The final game of the Grand Cuisine Tournament is over. (1/2)

”By the way, ......, here you go. This is Chinese food, one of the three great cuisines of the world.

There were Chinese rice bowls, bean curd, fried rice, dumplings, shrimp chili, Chinese shrimp sauce, Chinese shrimp sauce, octopus balls, Chinese soup, and other all-star dishes.

And I guess the genre of Chinese food itself has not been established in this world.

All of the dishes served were completely new to the eyes of otherworldly people, and they made full use of fresh ingredients such as vegetables.

No wonder my dad has been such a winner.

I'm rather surprised that my father was such a good cook.

I heard that he used to be a cook when he was young: .......

This is a very colorful dish. I've seen a lot of different cuisines in my life, but I've never seen such a colorful dish.

And what a savory smell. It's not just the smell of the ingredients themselves, like when you cook meat or fish. This is the very smell of cooked food. That's what makes it so appetizing.

”Well, well, so much for the rave reviews, but taste it anyway.

Even in the face of the rave reviews from the judges, my father remains as aloof as ever.

The judges slowly take a bite of the dishes laid out as if rushed by his father.

At that moment, their taste buds are bombarded with a rush of deliciousness.

”Hey, what a dish this is!

The mere tofu couldn't be more flavorful, and the right amount of spiciness rather stimulates the appetite!

”Not only this dish!　It has a Pieman-like crunch, but with less bitterness than that, and the harmony with the meat and sauce couldn't be more pervasive!

No, the scary thing is that all these dishes have their own personality, and their flavors are solidified like a genre. Moreover, this oolong tea naturally enters your mouth as if it were a drink prepared for this dish. The naturalness, harmony, and variations in this dish are all above and beyond what I have seen in the past with Keogh's seafood dishes. I assure you, it is delicious!

”Oops!　No way!　That gourmet master assures me that it's delicious!

Not only did the judges rave about it, but the old man, who was called the ”gourmet master,” expressed his surprise to the audience and even the other judges.

”You said 'Keiji-dono,' didn't you? The name, this cooking method, you're that Keji-dono's ......

Well, that doesn't really matter for the game. Judge it on taste, not identity.

The gourmet master smiles at his father's statement, ”That's true, too,” he says.

Now, let's continue with Kyou and Mina's cooking!

At the call of the host, I bring the cooked food to him.

At that time, I thanked Mina standing next to me.

...... Thank you, Mina.

No, please do as you wish until the end.

That's what it meant. It was obvious to the audience who watched us cook.

I didn't ask for Mina's help, and I cooked by myself.

That's what I asked Mina to do the day before.

There were many reasons for this, but I wanted to win this final against my dad on my own.

The demons I've raised, the food I learned from Kasarina and Mina.

I wanted to put them all together to see how far I could go.

Of course, this competition was to elevate Mina's status as a cook, and she had her reasons for refusing.

But she entrusted me with everything, saying, ”It was you who brought me to this point, so I'll leave it to you to do what you want in the end.

To answer her expectations, I put everything I had into the dish and spread it out in front of the judges.

”Here's your dish. This is my dish.

”Oh, this is--

Spread out there was a jack-o'-lantern soup. Devil Carrot and Mandragora with flowers. Baked entree cake. And cockatrice with killer plant sauce.

It was the first diner contest I participated in with Mina.

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

But the ingredients were the culmination of all the demons I've cultivated since I came to this other world.

They were the first ones I cultivated and have been cultivating ever since I came to this world.

It's too simple a choice for the purpose of this tournament, which is to cultivate food.
