The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero’s Mother! - Chapter 274
“””Serena-sama, would you like to have homemade dishes?”””
“Well, I’m quite skilled at cooking, and I enjoy doing household chores, but… occasionally, I do crave homemade dishes!”
“Homemade dishes? Then leave it to me, Fleur. I’ll create a perfectly delicious meal for you.”
“Oh? If Fleur cooks it, she might unintentionally put poison in it. So, this Rosalia will handle it! Despite appearances, I’m also quite skilled in the culinary arts.”
“What are you two saying?! Cooking is my domain! If you leave it to me, I guarantee I’ll make something absolutely delicious.”
“Anyway, Elsa, all you do is grill some meat and sprinkle salt on it, right? That can’t be considered cooking.”
“Yes, yes, I’ve heard that Fleur is good at adding poison to her dishes, but can you actually cook, Elsa?”
“I’ll rely on my ingredients. You two, coming from privileged backgrounds, can’t possibly discern the quality of meat or fish, can you?”
“In that case, let’s have a contest to see whose cooking is the most delicious.”
“I don’t think I’ll lose.”
“Okay, okay, I’m concerned if three of you can make proper dishes.”
“””Eh?”””
Even though they’re saying this, I know they’re actually good friends. Well, let’s go along with their usual banter for now.
“In that case, how about you all take turns making dinner from today? Over the course of three days, I’ll taste and compare each other’s cooking. In the end, I’ll decide who’s the best cook.”
“That sounds like a good idea!”
“I have no objections.”
“We’ll know by comparing the dishes… Alright! Count me in for the challenge.”
“So, how do you three decide the order? Shall you draw lots?”
“The order doesn’t matter to me.”
“I don’t mind any position.”
“Me neither.”
Well, they seem pretty relaxed about it… Oh well.
“Is that so? But we need to decide the order, so let’s draw lots. And to make it fair, I should set some rules…”
“Where’s the fun if there are rules, Serena-sama?”
“Yeah, it’s more exciting with a ‘anything goes’ mindset, considering it a battle.”
“It wouldn’t be fun if there were strict rules for a contest.”
“Exactly, I understand.”
In the end, the three of them drew lots for the order, and the rule was simply not to interfere with each other. Other than that, anything goes.
The order was determined as follows:
Fleur → Rosalia → Elsa.
