57 57 "Master-student confrontation final" (1/2)

”Hmm, at first glance, it looks like just an omelette, but let's try it for now.

With that, the judges put their knives in front of the omelet that Fitis had prepared, one after the other, and brought it to their mouths.

And the next moment, an exclamation of deliciousness overflows from their lips.

Is this ...... a pumpkin sauce on top of this omelet?

That's right. It's a jack-o'-lantern cream sauce that grows in Mr. Keogh's garden.

Yes, Phytis chose to use a jack-o'-lantern that grew in my garden as a sauce for his omelet.

There were many choices for sauces, including a killer plant tomato sauce, but there were of course good reasons why Fitis chose to use pumpkin sauce.

Sometimes the sauce is too strong and kills the taste of the omelet, but it's just a gentle taste to accentuate the guest of honor, the omelet, and above all, the pumpkin sauce matches the buttered rice in the omelet nicely.

Yes, the guest of honor in this dish is only an egg omelet.

For that reason, Fitis had brought out the true flavor of the omelet with the gentle flavor of pumpkin sauce.

And that wasn't her only hidden card.

The judges, including the lord, had already noticed this and were devouring Fitis's omelet, and when they had finished their fill, they opened their mouths.

Now it's time to move on to the judging. The three of us will each vote for the best egg dish. Are you ready?

He checked with the other judges and the cooks, Fitis and Kasarina, and as soon as they all nodded their heads, each one indicated a name on a piece of paper.

And when they opened the paper, the names on it were all the same person's names.

That is--PHITIS.

Lily, Mina, Dora-chan, Jack and the rest of us were excited to see the results.

On the other hand, Kasarina, who had been completely defeated, was accepting the result in a nonchalant manner.

”Well, I didn't expect to lose unanimously,” she said.

But he didn't seem convinced by her attitude, and turned to Phytis, pointing to her food and asking, ”What is the dish that I broke?

The dish that defeated me. May I taste it?　It's Phytis.

No problem. Please taste. Master.

With that said, as if she had expected this to happen, Fittis held out an omelette she was making for Kasarina.

Kasarina takes a bite of it with her form and brings it to her mouth.

At that moment, the change in her face was astonishing.

”No way, this isn't ......

What trickery was there. Kasarina must have imagined that this was the reason for the victory. But it wasn't.

The egg--what a good one!

There was a simple egg flavor.

It was probably the best egg she had ever known, and it tasted more like an ingredient itself, surpassing the eggs of colored fish, let alone basilisk eggs.

It was the frying pan for omelet rice that Amanes had made for me that helped me bring out the flavor of the eggs.

It was rounder than an ordinary frying pan, making it easier to cook the batter, which made it easier to cook the rice omelet without sacrificing the taste of the egg itself.

But of course, that alone could not reproduce such a taste.

”Phytis, the egg. What in the world did you use?　A demon that lays these delicious eggs must be of a very high rank.

In this case, the demon egg I used is this.

The egg that is at the core of this omelette's deliciousness. What was placed in front of Ms. Kasarina was a plain egg that belied her expectation of what it looked like.

A cockatrice egg?

Seeing this, a puzzled look appears on your face.

It's probably just as well. The cockatrice is a D-ranked mediocre monster. The eggs are so-called ordinary and should never be this good. That's what they think.

''Master's question is understandable. To answer that, it will be faster to show you in person. Please follow me.

With that said, Fitis and Kasarina lead us to the place where the cockatrice is raised.

It's not a new shed that I built for raising cockatrices, but a garden where I let them run free.
