So here I am taking part in an eating contest for a frying pan but I'm having a bit of remorse now.

I mean, other participants are obviously built for this, unlike me.

Among all the extra-sized contestants that would put that pig noble to shame, I'm the only standard-sized one.

I mean you know, eating contestants in Japan look normal outwardly yet they can gorge down kilograms of food. Where'd they put all that food in their body anyway.

There's 10 contestants including me. I'm contestant number 10 being the last who entered.

Some of them have Cooking Skill too, wonder if they're pinning for the prize or just here for the food.

This has drawn quite a crowd. Guess even this little festival is a rare form of amusement here.

"Ouu, lad ain't ya a lanky one! Eat meat, meat!"

"You been eating at all? Well take it easy now! I'mma be the victor anyway!"

"Ah? See this belly of mine, I dare you say that again? Quit daydreaming will ya!"

...What's with all these high tension folks.

Just as I was thinking of withdrawing, the food were getting carried to the venue, too late to turn back. It'd be rude to the people who cooked this food, like telling them it tastes bad.

Can't be helped, I'm gonna give it my best shot for the sake of frying pan. Let's just focus on eating.

"Aaand! This eating contest will now start! The rule is quite simple, the winner is the one who eats the most in one hour time! Those who cheat will be disqualified right away! Eat at it fair and square! Who do you think will be victorious among these!? Now then, ready~~~~~ GO!!"

The MC seems highly strung too.

Well I guess that's better than sounding timid.

Now then, the food is a fish dish huh. I can feel my appetite rising just from looking at its white meat smeared in basil-like sauce. Umu, it's good. I want the recipe.

Other contestants are wolfing down the food without caring to relish on the taste. What a waste.

"Contestant #1, so quick! He emptied the first plate in five seconds flat!"
