Chapter 382

[28th Round] Hero vs. Divine Dragon Queen

Hoho. I watched how desperately you prepared for our cooking match, Hero, but you still wont be able to defeat me if I do this in earnest.

Well see about that.

Of course. Oh! I wont lay down any additional rules. We should just finish our meals by the end of the day. Do you agree?

Yes.

Then lets begin!

Erdanti had collected many ingredients by using all the connections she had made over the years.

The cleanest mushrooms, the most delicious meat, the crispiest carrots, and the sweetest strawberries in the world

I gritted my teeth from such unfairness.

I expected that much.

Clap!

I carefully dumped selected fresh vertebrae onto the countertop, immediately noting that these werent dragon vertebrae.

I couldnt feed him members of his own race, now, could I?

Rock salt mined from the dungeons, rare medicinal herbs, and unicorn fillets were placed on the cutting board in order.

I expected more. Erdantis expression while she observed me seemed to say that she thought she had already won.

There were all sorts of ingredients on her kitchen table, which was most likely why she had been so confident.

I snorted.

A large number of ingredients doesnt guarantee your dish will be tasty.

Oh! You seem to have misunderstood. Unfortunately, I dont know what Green Cake likes, so Im planning to cook many different dishes.

After provoking the G-Cla.s.s Righteous Hero, Erdanti began chopping up the ingredients on her cutting board so quickly it was like watching a machine at work.

/p>

Not even a s.p.a.cecraft from Earth could compare to her speed.

In fact, she did it a hundred folds faster!

All of her cooking utensils were made of pure mithril to withstand her strength and speed.

Type: Skill

Name: Cooking

Rank: Z

ZZ: Prevents spoilage of cooked food.

Z: No ingredient cleaning is required for the dish.

SSS: Summons freezer.

SS: Summons bonfire.

S: Prepares food faster.

A: Eliminates toxic substances from products.

B: Eliminates excess cooking odors.

C: Eliminates bitterness in dishes.

D: Slows down the spoilage of cooked food.

E: Enhances the taste of cooked food.

F: The ability to cook well.

I reached Z-rank Cooking in a rush, but even still, while Erdanti was already ZZ-ranked before we even set up this match, she didnt use any of the skills effects right now. That could only mean that she personally worked with her ingredients.

She finished cooking in an instant. Although it wouldnt make any difference even if she skipped many of its processes by relying on the systems help, not doing so showed her desire to serve the best dishes for my son.

/p>

Well, at least I thought that would be the case.

Clap!

Erdanti blessed the dishes she prepared, enabling them to lift the dead back to life.

Ah! This will add flavor to them.

That wasnt all.

Education, love, happiness, prayer, hope

Just as combat-type skills had synergistic effects, subtypes could also be linked and overlapped, which was exactly what she did right now.

I sacrificed many skills to push my Cooking skill over its limit, but I couldnt even think of such a cowardly technique.

Okay.

I put the prepared vertebrae in a large pot and filled it with cold water.

Afterward, I began to carefully chop the parpar herb, one of the most popular spices in the world of Fantasy, along with green onions.

It might seem like I didnt really have that much of a need for my Z-ranked Cooking skill, but I upgraded it since doing so didnt just unlock new effects.

It also enhanced existing ones.

In this regard, Erdanti, whose culinary prowess was ZZ-ranked, was in a better position.

Isis: I had my doubts before, but now Im sure. That teacher has no chance.

Luna: Master worked so hard to prepare Dont give up!

Gaia: Supporting him wont help.

Zeus: I thought so.

Odin: Ha! I thought he was omnipotent, but look how it turned out in the end.

/p>

Allah: Brothers! Lets celebrate!

The mollanphone community was already convinced of my defeat, and the townspeople watching our culinary duel seemed to feel the same way.

They thought the fight was over.

Erdanti wasnt stingy with her ingredients. Quite the contrary, she even flaunted them.

She used everything she had to prepare a

And she still finished first.

What incredible speed.

There are so many dishes.

I didnt know anything about your food preferences, so I prepared an array of different ones! Dont be shy. Eat to your hearts content.

I see. Ill begin, then Oh!

Green Cakes eyes widened the moment he tried a vegetable and fruit salad that shared the same color as his hair.

Well, what do you think?

Its delicious. The dressing perfectly complements the ingredients. At the same time, it isnt too sweet, and the lettuce leaves crunch nicely in my mouth, indicating how fresh they are.

Now try this.

Hmmm! Im not a meat-eater, but I think I can eat anything you cook, auntie.

Hehe

The Divine Dragon Queens sorrowful face lit up again as she heard the judges praise.

She constantly served him new dishes as he consumed so much food that an ordinary person wouldve already had an upset stomach.

However, he could handle such an amount with ease since he was a dragon.

/p>

The audience could only watch in amazement as the number of plates gradually decreased.

Looks like its already been decided.

How many plates can his tiny body fit?

Im suddenly hungry too.

What is the Hero preparing there?

Lanuvel Beef Broth? Thats what he called it.

Is that the recipe lovely archaeologist Lanuvel taught him?

I hated to break it to them, but they were wrong. Lanuvel didnt teach me this recipe. She served as its main ingredient.

While in the Demon Realm, I tried a large number of beef soups based on her vertebrae, the taste of which even Lanuvel herself, tired of durians and coconuts, couldnt help but acknowledge.

Im almost done.

It took quite a long time to make a good vertebral broth.

In addition, I had a unicorn fillet.

Many people mistook them for a benign divine beast, allowing only virgins to saddle them, but the unicorn I caught a.s.sisted an outlaw who kidnapped little boys.

Even my Perfect Holy Sword could become a Demon Sword in the wrong hands.

Sieg: Be honest. Who decided to eat during this broadcast?

Leon: Me!

Zeus: Thats so childish. Me.

Piko: Mollan!

M. Satan: Dont you feel satiated just by watching how Green Cake tastes all the food?

I began cooking rice imported from the Eastern Continent.

I didnt try looking for the best kind but instead just bought the first one I came across while walking through the market, which was hulled rice.

But the Z-rank Cooking effect helped me.

Z: No ingredient cleaning is required for the dish.

The husks covering the grains were automatically and magically removed.

Well, it turned out nicely.

After the rice finished cooking, I opened the lid, causing hot steam to rise out of it.

Is that food from the Eastern Continent?

Since she followed the Central Continent diet, which mainly consisted of meat and vegetables, Erdanti showed little interest in it.

Upon looking at the cooked beef broth rice soup, her smile widened.

She was already certain of her victory.

I finished the dish by sprinkling fantasy spices on the resulting dish.

You can try it now, Green Cake.

Yes.

He scooped his spoon through the plate, picking up as much rice as he could, and brought it to his mouth.

Smells delicious.

Because I found quality vertebrae.

Aaahhm.

/p>

Green Cakes shoulders suddenly began to shake. Within a few moments, he began crying.

What was wrong with him?

Are you really that impressed by how delicious the Heros dish was? The Divine Dragon Queen hastily tasted the soup.

Its not bad, but its taste isnt so impressive as to cause tears of joy. Hero, you didnt put something strange here to affect Green Cake, have you?

No! What do you take me for?

I take you exactly for what you are. Im talking about what you have been doing for the last month. Many bandits came running to me asking for help.

Ah! Im sorry. I should have been more careful with them. I must have missed a few by focusing too much on cooking.

Well Haha. Im talking about an entirely different matter.

While I argued with my best friends wife, my son finished all the beef broth rice soup.

For dessert, he had the unicorn beef tenderloin, which didnt cause as dramatic of a reaction as the main dish.

Afterward, the time for evaluation came.

Aunt Erdantis dishes were impeccable. Its been a very long time since I of flavors, and Im honestly delighted that you gave me yet another chance to do so. Please accept my sincerest grat.i.tude.

Hehe

But I give my vote to the Heros dish.

Why?

All it took was one spoonful, and I immediately remembered the taste of my fathers crude dishes, which he improvised using ingredients we found during our adventure together.

Ah

Aunt Erdantis dishes were much better in terms of taste. You didnt know what I liked, but I felt your sincerity and care in all the different dishes you prepared. It definitely warmed my heart. If I werent the judge, you would have easily defeated the Hero. Im really sorry.

/p>

Erdanti, who seemed slightly discouraged, returned to her former state.

Thank you very much for your honest answer. I love your honesty.

Youre welcome.

Many people in this world lie in an attempt to please others. I wouldve been disappointed in you if you said the Heros dish was tastier.

Im sorry

Dont be. I do not regret choosing you as a judge. Werent you happy to try all the dishes I made? I put my whole soul into it, prepared it as if I was doing it for my own child. Thats why I can admit defeat. I cooked without considering your life experience.

Thank you for understanding.

Come again anytime. I want to keep cooking for you.

If I get the chance

I thought Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti would be furious like a third-rate villain, but she humbly admitted defeat.

Justice emerged victorious!

However, the students who later tried to please Green Cake by copying my recipe didnt get good marks from him.

No one could replicate his fathers style.

[Closed Topics are usually used to shorten the time Heroes spend observing a certain agenda by sharing information about it, but today Im using it for a more personal purpose.

This was the first time I saw someone cooking for me so seriously and pa.s.sionately. It gave me a feeling of happiness that cant be described in words.

/p>

Today I ate alone, but I hope to feast with my father, mother, and younger siblings next time. It will definitely be fun.

Oh, Ive also reached a decision.

I will kill the First Hero, whos holding the real Erdanti captive, by tearing him apart with my own fangs.

I hope everyone who watched the attached video shares the same feeling. Mollan.]
