Chapter 45: Cause of Defeat and Chef
"Then, the winner of this cooking contest battle is..."
"Wait a minute! I'm not convinced!"
The blonde handsome man starts to make a fuss...hey, that's not a good look.
"I can't lose to this guy! You guys gave him the recipe and you gave him the rating on purpose!"
Aaah. Perfect claimer, but this statement is out. All the judges turn their eyes in anger.
"You're saying that we, who hold the title of five-star chefs, cheated on your food?"
"Uh...y, yes! My food is just too good"
"That's enough. Don't open your mouth any more"
One of the judges is so argumentative that he shuts him up. Then Chef Glass spoke up.
"If you're not convinced, let me explain. What do you think we valued about Takuto-kun?"
"Of course it was the food"
"Wrong"
Yes, it's all right.
"By the looks of it, you haven't even noticed that we've basically only eaten one bite of your food"
"Eh...speaking of which"
Yeah. They've basically only eaten one bite of his food since the first salad. The only exception is dessert.
"We are judges. We have to evaluate all the dishes fairly"
"We can't have full stomachs for that, so we basically take only one bite of every dish except the last"
"Takuto-kun, you have been aware of our situation from the beginning and have made dishes that are commensurate with it. You must have noticed, too, that the portions he served were small"Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
"What does it matter?"
"We're food lovers too. We don't like to leave food behind. That's why he adjusted the amount of food he served. Isn't that right?"
"Yes"
I think it's natural for cooks to feel sad when they see the leftover food.
"Th, That..."
We, as chefs, must not forget to be grateful to the people who produce the ingredients for our dishes. We have to be grateful for all the ingredients and for the customers who eat our food"
And then the old man, who had been keeping an eye on the fish dish as a follow-up to Chef Glass, said.
"The reason for your defeat is that you forgot to be grateful and to pay attention to the customers who eat your food"
"I am..."
"You are still young. Admit your mistakes and start over. The next time I eat your food, I expect it to be full of care and attention"
"...Yes"
As expected of a five-star chef, his words carry a different weight. Then Chef Glass declared.
"Since you seem to be convinced, let's end this cooking contest battle. The winner is the summoner, Takuto"
"Takuto-kun has scored a total of 100 points, so we all approve and present Takuto-kun with the title of Three Star Chef'"
