65 65 "Signage Musume vs. Blood-sucking aristocrats" (2/2)

Understanding this, not only us, but also the Demon King's side gets tense, and the next battle table is revealed by the gourmet master.

The third round: ”Diner Girl Mina vs. Vampire Aristocrat Alucard.

Designated dish: noodle dishes

The moment you see the list, I clenched my fists and turned around to see Mina's name on the list.

I was worried about Mina's mental health as she was seated in a seat that was far more important than the general's match, but there was the same calm and composed Mina as always.

I see, so you'll be my next opponent.

The vampire tribe of Alucard, whom I had previously encountered on the battlefield, looked down on Mina with a rose in one hand as if she were sorting through her opponents.

I'm not sure if you're going to be able to find a way to get your revenge on the beautiful beast that defeated me on the battlefield that time, but it looks like she's not participating in this cooking battle. That's a shame.

When Alucard speaks with some disappointment, Mina, without being pressured, looks back at the man in front of her and declares firmly, ”She's my best friend.

She's my best friend. I'm in the middle of an important battle right now, and I can't be here. But I have sworn to fight for her at this cooking competition. If you want to fight her, I'll fight you head-on, including her share. I won't let you regret it.

It is a common man who is supposed to be helpless, but shows a dignified strength that does not back down a step against the powerful Alucard, to which Alucard muttered to the ordinary girl in front of him, who until then would not have been interested in him at all, and narrowed his eyes.

I see. I thought it was just some nameless flower on the side of the road, but it's quite a spirited one. I like it. Let's look forward to our next match to see how far an ordinary flower like you can shine.

Then he threw the rose in his hand and quietly disappeared into the darkness, Alucard.

Didn't he have a character like that?　Especially roses.

Mina on the other hand was resolute, but if you looked closely you could see her shoulders trembling slightly and her knees were slightly wobbling.

No matter how strong she is, she's just an ordinary person among us.

She's just a town girl who's good at cooking with no power.

You have to be careful not to get caught in the middle of the situation.

”It's okay, Kyou-san. I'm going to win for Kyou-san, for Lily-chan, and most importantly, for everyone.

Mina, who never usually speaks so boldly, assured me so clearly.

I could feel the weight of her determination and I nodded quietly in response to her thoughts.

You're in charge. Mina-chan.
