Chapter Eight: Medicinal Cooking

“Phew . . .” My experience with cooking for a large number of people all the time had really helped too. At the village, I normally just plunked down a couple of things, but this had been fun too. I would have liked to have polished each one a little more.

“Kiddo, you were looking really good out there,” L’Arc said.

“Indeed . . . a real craftsman. You pulled your weight too, Kizuna,” Glass said.

“All I did was pick out the ingredients and cut the fish . . .” Kizuna replied. All of her allies were quick to praise me. Kizuna was downplaying her role in things too. That side of preparation was very important, especially when it came to fish.

“You have a unique timing when applying your life force. I think it would be pretty hard to emulate,” Glass said.

“Master’s food! Huh? We’re not allowed to eat it?” Filo asked.

“He had Kizuna prepare something just for you. Look, Filo, Mr. Naofumi is bringing it over now,” Raphtalia said.

“Yay! Oh boy, it smells delicious!” Filo said happily.

“It might be kind of poisonous, so watch out for that,” I told her.

“Oh my . . . can someone finally explain to us exactly what you are doing?” Sadeena asked.

“Explain!” Shildina added.

“It turns out we got involved in this cooking battle . . .” Raphtalia proceeded to explain to the sisters what was going on, with everyone else sticking their oar in whenever it suited them.

“Will both chefs please bring their food forward? I’m sure Master Seya will win, but we will be eating the challenger’s food first,” the MC said, her biased flag still firmly flying. The judges started to carry my dishes toward their mouths.

First the appetizer.

“Hah, the food of this challenger surely can’t hope to compare to Master Seya’s—” the rotund noble started. After a single mouthful, his eyes opened wide and he started to scoff the food down. “This can’t be?! What is this? It’s delicious! Too delicious! And it feels like some kind of poison is draining from my body as I eat! So refreshing! This is the best!” The noble quickly accelerated into top gear, stuffing his face with everything in reach. The other judges were doing the same. They weren’t especially clean eaters, to be honest.

“That meat looked practically rotten, and look at it now! The flavor, the texture, it’s stunning!” the noble exclaimed.

“Because it wasn’t rotten at all. It may have looked that way at a glance, but really it was just aged meat that had become more delicious. And it was mixed in with the meat supplied to the restaurant. Someone went to all that trouble, but some other moron thought it was rotten and gave it to us,” I explained pointedly, looking at Seya, Trash III, and the other MC. Trash III responded by flipping me off. I could taunt with the best of them, and I mouthed some swear words back.

“What’s this tingling in my nose I feel? It harmonizes so well with the texture.
