68 68 "Battlefield of Heroes" (1/2)

”You did it, Mina.

Good job, girl.

Congratulations . Mina.

”That's my beloved Lily's best friend. You are my best friend.

After the cooking battle was over, everyone, including Kyou, said so to me.

Yes, thank you. Because of your help.

That was my true intention and without Kyou's advice, I would have lost sight of the essence of my cooking.

I hope that I can be of some help to you all and face Lily, who is still fighting on the battlefield for everyone.

Now, I will disclose the next pairing of opponents and their respective dishes.

In the meantime, the hand of the gourmet master revealed the next match-up and the designated dish, which contained the names of the unexpected combinations.

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆.

--The battlefield.

There, countless armies are advancing toward the territory to be invaded.

The enemy forces are the forces of the Empire of Albrus, the pride of Rostam, the ”Emperor and Hero”.

The movement of the army is so refined that it is worthy of one of the world's greatest imperial soldiers.

However, the formation, which can be called ironclad, will collapse when faced with a mass of unstandard beasts and storms that run around the battlefield.

Move!　Regroup once!

The general commanding the troops shouts to the soldiers on the battlefield from his horse, and once the troops are in retreat.

However, as if to discourage the general's horse, a blow from a galloping beast on the ground blows away the general's horse and the general on horseback involuntarily adjusts his stance in the air and descends to the ground.

”I'm sorry, but I can't let you get away with this. I'm sorry, but I can't let you go.

You will be able to find out the best way to get a good deal more about the company.

I've heard rumors, but is this the power of a heretical hero who has the power of a demon?

The general's glare at Lily was filled with obvious contempt, and she had seen that mixture of fear and contempt many times before.

...... Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. The only thing that will make you unconscious for a while, and then you'll be our prisoner.

The moment you say that and raise your hand, Lily's literally wild instincts tell her the danger is there.

At the same time, a trajectory resembling a flash occurs in the spot where you were just before you leap backwards.

There was a hero standing there, and the slash, which would have struck while still in its scabbard, would have rendered him unable to fight on its own if it had been a direct hit.

But more than that, the most surprising thing is that the face of the master who fired the slash looked familiar.

You are ...... felid.

This is the person who had previously saved her from falling down in the forest and had some involvement with them afterwards.

”It's been a long time, ”Beastman Hero” Lily. I would have preferred not to see you again like this if I could.

So, FERIDO, speaking of Lily's title as a brave man.

It's not the same as the general's, who was not in awe of himself, but rather a sense of gratitude towards a respected opponent, but also a sense of determination that if you are an enemy, you have no choice but to defeat him.

So do I. It is a very good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it, but if you're on the other side, does that mean you're on the side of the Albrus Empire?

”You're right. Hence, we're working with them now.

”Oh yeah.

As soon as it was enough to confirm that, Lily immediately went into battle readiness.

You will be able to find out if you have a good idea of the strength of Ferid's abilities when they fought together for a short time before.
