71 71 "Cultivation Hero VS Dark Princess" (1/2)

”I'm sorry, Mr. Keough, folks, for all those big words, ......, you did not mean to do this.

”Don't worry about it, Phytis. You've done enough.

With the game won, Fitis is the first to apologize to the team.

You're going to be able to get a good deal more than just a few minutes of your time.

I'd rather be abused by my master in this kind of situation ...... than to have a seat in a cooking competition,” she said.

Oh, my God. It was more like Fitis's pride couldn't forgive her own defeat than I thought.

Rather, in this case, I got the sense that she was annoyed that she hadn't been able to contribute to us with her victory.

Then do your best next time. At least I don't feel like I'm a burden to you, Fitis.

”Kyou-sama ......

Put a hand on my shoulder and step forward to let me do the rest.

That's right, the next and final game, the fifth and final battle for the general. It's almost as if the match is already decided.

Now, we will announce the pairings and the designated food for the next and final game.

At the same time as the gourmet master's declaration, the final table is revealed.

The names on it are as expected, and unexpectedly, the names of the designated dishes.

The fifth round, Kyou vs Helu, Princess of Darkness

Designated Cuisine: Japanese Cuisine

Yeah, I knew my opponent. Because she was the only one left.

Well, I was more than a little surprised that she was the captain, but I was even more surprised by the food.

What ”Japanese” cuisine? Where is ”Japan”?

”Uh, uh, sorry. Gourmet Master. Just to be sure, what's the Japanese word for Japanese food?

This is a part that should not be touched, but I want to check it while I can, because once it's on my mind, I can't seem to leave it.

''Hmm. Don't you know anything about Japanese? Well, that can't be helped. It's from a small island nation in the far east. Calling it Japanese, the culture and even the cuisine of these island nations is truly unique and has struck a chord with some food connoisseurs. ......

”I mean, is there a Japan in this world?

Or at least a Zipangu or something a little more otherworldly?

Oh, but Japanese food is quite good for me.

For now, I'll have to check how much Japanese food has developed in this world later.

I wonder if SUSI is already a part of that Japanese cuisine.

”Click, click, click, click, click, the next designated dish will be to your advantage on this one, right?

I looked and saw that girl standing in front of me in a typical Jojo standing pose, as if covering one eye.

Wait a minute. How did you know she's a good fit for me?
