The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero’s Mother! - Chapter 278

Serena’s POV

Without even waiting for a day, the victor has already been determined.

But what should I do?

Everyone has tried their best, so wouldn’t it be fine to end in a tie?

“Good morning.”

“””Good morning (morning).”””

They greet me with expectant expressions.

What should I do?

“About the cooking contest… If it’s a tie…”

“You wouldn’t call it a tie, right?” Fleur said.

“No draw either,” Rosalia added.

“Give a clear verdict!” Elsa exclaimed.

“Ugh, got it… If I really have to determine a winner, then the victory goes to Elsa! Congratulations… well then.”

Elsa thanked me, saying, “Okay, my dish ranked first… Thank you, Serena-sama.” Elsa

Fleur expressed her thoughts, “I can’t accept this.”

Rosalia added, “This is strange.”

I knew the other two would say that.

To be honest, I didn’t want to judge the dishes everyone made, but well, it’s fine.

“There’s a valid reason! First of all, if we’re talking about ‘Homemade dish,’ then Rosalia is automatically disqualified.”

“Why disqualified?” Rosalia questioned.

“Because Forest Hot Pot is a recreational dish. It’s something to enjoy and eat together with ingredients everyone brought. It’s not Rosalia’s Homemade dish; it’s a dish made by all of us using the ingredients we had… That’s why disqualification.”

“Ugh, but…”

“I agree if it was Rosalia. However, I can’t accept that my dish lost to Elsa’s! It’s just a simple raw dish and cooked meat. With my elaborate stew, shouldn’t I…” Fleur protested.

“Indeed, Fleur’s stew is superb, but it’s Kazuma’s recipe and the taste of the shop. If the taste is similar, I can have it at ‘Kazuma’s.’ So, if we’re talking about a Homemade dish, I think Victory should go to Elsa, who prepared Garlic Soy Sauce and her unique Special sauce. What do you think?”

“I-Indeed, when you put it that way.”

“In that case, I win, right? Yes, I did it! I won!” Elsa cheered.

“That’s right,” Fleur said.

“Well then, with that settled…” Rosalia began.

“Huh? Just that?” Elsa wondered.

“Yes, there is no perk or privilege for winning, isn’t?” Fleur confirmed.

“There isn’t,” Rosalia stated.

“There’s no promise anything like that too, right?” Fleur asked.

“Not at all,” Rosalia affirmed.

Fleur and Rosalia are amazing in times like these.

If Elsa were to make enemies out of these two, there’s no way she could defeat them.

“Elsa’s victory, huh? Well, I’ll give you something… Is there something you want, Elsa?”

Well, this match started with my whim to eat a “Homemade dish.”

I guess it’s okay to do something for her.

“Yeah, in that case, a date sounds good! We haven’t had many chances for a private date… Yeah, that’s what I want!”

“That’s unfair! Isn’t it, Rosalia?”

“Well, there weren’t such rules from the beginning, were there? It’s a rule violation… And Serena-sama, it’s unfair to add rewards later that weren’t part of the rules.”

“I-I see… I guess you’re right.”

“Yup, it’s quite unfair, I believe.”

“But isn’t it the winner’s privilege… Isn’t that right?” Elsa asked.

Sigh… Can’t be helped.

“The winner of the cooking contest is Elsa. However, it’s true that we didn’t make a promise to add such perks or privileges… So, should I do Elsa’s wish to everyone?”

I’m just a kid, but in situations like this, I feel like they’re even more childish than me.

“Yes, sounds good,” Fleur agreed.

“I don’t mind either,” Rosalia nodded.

“In the end, it’s come to this. Can’t be helped,” Elsa conceded.

And so, this time, it was decided that I would have one-on-one dates with the three of them.

How can I do well like Dad?

I really don’t know.
