Chapter 1878 – [Visitors From Another Dimension]

A cooking battle with a phantom that occurred out of nowhere. There was a time in the past when it was… Oh, I was trying to judge during the previous episode, but it got cut off, and I had to stay on Earth?

A lot of time has passed since then, so this is my first cooking battle in a while. Well, it’s good to often do things like this with Phantom and develop each other’s skills as friendly competitors.

But more than that, I feel worse when I hear that Phantom is worse at cooking than that bastard.

“Whoa! Cooking battle!!!! So fucking exciting!!!!!!”

“Eden, you will study a lot, so learn a lot. It’s a cooking battle between top 1 and 2 chefs at the dimensional level.”

“How will you play the game? Single game? Or…”

“Best of 3 out of 2. So we’ll play 3 times.”

“Dad, if you don’t want 1 to do 3 to 2, do it well.”

“Bunkering?! No, but I was in the bean line?!”

“Victory bean dance for dad’s victory!!!!!”

“It seems like they’re just asking for second place?!”

The competition task was decided in consultation with Phantom. The location is the Garden of Eden… Please note that we each bring our own materials.

There is something like that in the assignment, and anyway, if it is a material, you can use Garden of Eden or Keter Chance for this as well. Phantom will be supplied with ingredients using the Dark Lord Castle’s ingredients auction house, so the conditions are actually similar.

[What? Cooking Battle? Then you can’t lose. We will grow the best ingredients, so use them to your heart’s content!!!!!]

“First, the task has been decided in advance, so there are ingredients for it, right? I will give you a separate list, so I’ll ask for it.”

[Okay!!!!]

Because it was a good event to broadcast, it was also posted as a separate broadcast announcement. The reaction to that is quite interesting.

There was already a rumor that I was good at cooking. However, there were many people who did not know about the Phantom side because it had just arrived at Earth, but there were people who knew about it as Garden of Eden. That bastard character has bonuses to cooking items just like me.

Even if that wasn’t the case, there were people who got to know me through Dark Lord Castle or something like that. On the other hand, it means that we can communicate with people from dimensional civilization, so it is interesting to see modern Earth people who have adapted to dimensional civilization in their own way.

-Death VS Phantom.

-It’s heartbreaking to see a cooking competition between the heads of state.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ My sister, Jjijji, is majestic.

-But was Phantom a good cook?

-If the Emperor had posted an announcement about a cooking battle, it would have been good.

-If I heard someone from Dark Lord Castle say, he is the best chef in the current level?

-Huh? No, but how do you hear that? That too to the people at Dark Lord Castle.

-I heard it while talking to him because he was a civil servant and had some business to meet him.

-Owner!!!!! Open the door right now!!!!!! I want to see a cooking battle!!!!!!!

-Looking at this makes me really want to eat. I’ll have to order chicken and see.

As ingredients are being prepared… The day of the cooking battle has arrived.

I face the battle with the best ingredients prepared by Keter. In order to prevent not only the quality of the ingredients but also a slight loss of freshness, Zion freezes time as soon as it is collected or slaughtered, allowing it to be cooked in the best condition without being frozen.

“You have to win what you have to do.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll grab it and go in.”

Eden was preparing to install and prepare several cameras for the in-room, using Korma instead of a separate camera for filming. I have decided to film a cooking program.

No, but when and where did you actually buy the camera? I bought something useful from the broadcasting station.

“Even though we were on standby, there was a huge influx of viewers. It’s a weekend afternoon broadcast like a sweet story… Other streamers will skip today’s broadcast.”

“There’s no need for us to worry about that. I’ll ask you to handle the chat window and editing, Eve.”

“Don’t worry, father.”

For reference, there are a total of five judges. Two people from this side, Shion and Eden, and from the Phantom side, Mr. Ruinel and Sienne, and in addition to the members who gave commentary during the previous fight with the Phantom, Gray also attended. Since he is Phantom’s older brother, he might take our side, but since we want to be fair, that side will also make a fair ruling.

Honestly, if you guess the judges with an even number, there could be a draw. Even if there is a slight difference in taste or preference, it is much better to win or lose.

Soon enough, Eden starts broadcasting and welcomes viewers. The stage of the two chefs set up in the Garden of Eden was filled with all kinds of cooking tools and equipment, and they greeted each other by reflecting on the stage.

“Hello guys~!!! You’ve been waiting a long time, right? Today, as announced earlier… It’s the cooking battle broadcast between Dad and Uncle Phantom!!!”

-You’re here!!!! My drug!!!!!

-Let’s go~!!!!

“There are a total of 3 challenges. It is a best-of-3 game, and the side that wins twice is the winner. There are a total of 5 judges, including the people who gathered during the last commentary and Uncle Gray!!! There is no room for a draw, so one side wins or loses. Will be decided!!!!”

Before starting cooking, Phantom and I do a final inspection. You won’t have time to worry once you get into the fight, so checking in advance is essential. Check if the cooking utensils and equipment are properly used, image how and in what order the ingredients will be cooked… And sharpen your senses.

I can feel the sensory force field between me and the phantom being compressed, and we recognize each other. Eden is still lacking, but perhaps because she has the same sensory abilities, she vaguely recognized the force field and made a strange expression.

You will learn not only how to cook, but also how to use your senses. Even without words, your sensory abilities will teach you a lot.

-Haha, the atmosphere is no joke.

-It’s a cooking battle, why is it so bloody?

“It’s because Dad and Uncle Phantom are serious about cooking. You can think of them as a team fight after hearing their friends say they can’t cook lol.”

-Convinced.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I can’t stand the sound of game shit.

-So when does it start!!!!!

“It’s about time. Shall we get started? Then, the first task!!!!!”

There are many important elements in cooking, but Phantom and I chose three. To be exact, these are the senses necessary to enjoy cooking.

Sight, smell, taste.

Cuisine enjoyed with the eyes, cuisine enjoyed with the scent, and cuisine enjoyed with the taste.

Both eaters and cooks suffer greatly if one of the three senses is missing. If you go deeper, there may be other elements, but those three themes were used as the task for this cooking competition.

“The first challenge is visual!!! In short, it’s a dish that can be enjoyed with the eyes, that is, a dish with amazing visuals!!!! A dish that looks so much like a work of art that you want to eat it just by looking at it, or that it’s hard to touch… Ugh, think about it. Just thinking about it makes me hungry. Anyway, visual cooking is the first task.”

-Is this the kind of dish that can make you panic just by looking at it?

-I understand the meaning, but it’s vague when asked to remember it. Is it because there is a wide range of dishes that make you want to eat them just by looking at them?

“Dad and Uncle Phantom both have ideas. Then get ready… The first showdown begins!!!!!!”

Eden announced the start and Phantom and I immediately started cooking.

Since I already knew the challenge and prepared for it, I had planned out what to cook in advance. He takes out the first ingredient to be used in the first confrontation.

“Oh!!!! What my dad took out was dinosaur meat brought in from Isla Nublar Island!!!!! And that’s the thigh part of a sauropod that walked on all fours!!!!”

It’s a chunk of meat the size of an adult male’s upper body, and there’s a thick bone like a club stuck in the middle of it.

It was brought from slaughtered dinosaurs raised with care by Keter, and even though it is dinosaur meat, the marbling is fantastic. If you cook this, the meat will shrink and shrink, and the bones will protrude… It will become a dish commonly called cartoon meat with bone handles on both sides.

Dishes with fancy decorations and decorations may be visual dishes, but I think it feels like appreciating a work of art. That’s why I really want to eat a dish that satisfies my visual sense just by looking at it!!! These are ingredients prepared to make a dish that will make you think intensely.

“The material for Uncle Phantom to stand up to such a father… Huh? What is that?”

I glanced at the ingredients Phantom had taken out. Since they had the same type of stand, or rather had similar personalities, I thought they would definitely eat meat as their main dish, but what he pulled out was an extremely large and thick lump of raw meat.

When I saw that, I was excited. Just looking at the size, you might think it was similar to the dinosaur meat I brought, but that’s because it wasn’t a dinosaur or anything like that, but a dragon meat. It’s just difficult to access, but it doesn’t mean I’ve never cooked or eaten it before, so I was able to recognize it at a glance.

“Hey, you crazy bastard?! Dragon meat?! You caught dragons so badly that poaching is prohibited even in dimensional civilization!!!!!”

“It’s legal because it killed a lizard baby that was slaughtering humans and was called an evil dragon.”

“This idiot…!!!!”

“What are you going to say about using dinosaur meat?”

“Dinosaur meat is distributed even in dimensional civilization!!!!”

“There is no dinosaur meat raised directly by Luveana.”

“Bitter, I can’t say anything about that.”

Like my evil emperor, it is a title of emperor, and Phantom’s other nickname, Slayer Dragon Emperor, is, as the name suggests, a title created by slaying about a thousand dragons. I wonder if a law banning dragon poaching was created by sniping phantoms out of fear that dragons would become extinct.

However, there are a few exceptions, and as Phantom said, you can catch dragons that cause damage to innocent people and are called evil dragons, demon dragons, light dragons, etc. In short, no matter how endangered a species is in a natural monument, if it kills a person, it is okay to kill it.

That kind of dragon meat. On the one hand, I chose dinosaur meat because of its visual aspect due to its size, but also because of the scarcity of the material. Considering that, I think it would be pushed out.

Of course, the important thing is the appearance and taste after cooking. Anyway, let’s get to cooking quickly.

The dinosaur meat I brought was prepared separately before I brought it. Grilling meat of this size is a task, so it is also a task to cook it well, so we sous vide it in advance so that it can be cooked to some extent and the juices can be preserved.

It wasn’t just sous vide, but a seasoning made with herbs and other spices was applied to remove any odor and infuse the flavor. All you have to do is touch up and finish it, but in fact, that is the most difficult work.

Oh, where is the machine that sous vides meat the size of an adult man’s torso? It’s in Horizon.

I don’t know if it’s shameful, but that Phantom guy also brought cooking utensils and equipment from Dark Lord Castle and installed them in the battlefield, and he must have prepared other things as well, so it’s shocking.

“Dinosaur meat vs. Dragon meat!!!! Who will win!!!!”

-Dragon?

-Wasn’t there a dragon Bertathus in Australia?

-I think I will get cold after watching the broadcast.

-But I want to eat them both because I haven’t tried them both.

-They say dinosaur meat is delicious… I’m really curious what dragon meat tastes like.

I’m thinking of doing an oven roast. Phantom is probably roast beef considering its parts, or rather it is a dragon, so it is a roast dragon? There were plenty of visual elements as well, such as the sight of well-cooked meat being sliced ​​up, which is no joke.

Without any checks, both of them go straight in their first match. It will be a cross counter, but we will see who will win.

Phantom and I both prepare the meat and start grilling it. However, Phantom uses a mana oven used in dimensional civilization rather than an ordinary oven, and since dragon meat is hard and tough, it was necessary to cook it properly.

Well, when alive, mana flows at all times, so a red dragon can bathe in lava, but I don’t know what kind of dragon meat it is, but it’s not meat that will cook simply by cooking it at high heat.

“Oh, it smells like grilling meat. Wow… This isn’t even inside a building, so what’s the smell of meat? It feels like I’m breathing in meat juice instead of air.”

-Kkkk

-Fuck, I should order something other than chicken.

-Okay, I suddenly have a craving for meat. That’s a fucking big piece of meat!!!!

A huge oven that even a person brought in from Horizon could fit into. Dinosaur meat baked in such an oven gradually changes color as it cooks.

The red meat gradually turns a delicious brown color and shrinks. As the bones on both sides hidden in the meat are revealed, it becomes just like the cartoon meat you imagined. And the outer part of the meat became crispy as the moisture evaporated.

Since you already seasoned the dish sous vide, you don’t need anything else. Even in comics, when you eat cartoon meat, you dip it in sauce or something like that? That’s why it’s delicious enough to be eaten plain.

Instead of using telekinesis to remove the meat from the oven, turn it a few times to cook the outside of the meat well. In fact, if I wanted to get it, I could have airlifted a more convenient and useful oven, but it is rather delicious to spend a lot of time like this. Because I, not anyone else but someone with sensory abilities, senses the temperature inside the oven and cooks it appropriately.

If the oven just does everything, the low points may be high, but the high points are much higher if I do it myself. If the taste of a dish was determined simply by cooking utensils or equipment, the science laboratory would have been the best restaurant… Ah, that’s it.

I took the meat out of the oven. The heavy meat, with a bone as thick as the forearm attached like a handle, is exposed to the outside air in earnest.

Cheeeeek!!!!

The intense sound of meat being cooked. For those who love meat, the visual of meat will make you want to pick it up with both hands and eat it right away. Unless you are a vegan, your appetite will explode.

“Wow…”

-Visual.

-Cartoon meat!!!! Cartoon meat!!!! Cartoon meat!!!!

-Will that be sold later when Jurassic Park officially opens? Please tell me you’re selling it!!!!!!

You need to wait a bit because you have to rest, but that’s only for a short time. Now that I have some free time, I look towards the phantom.

It will take a little longer, but the Phantom seems to be making progress. I chose the visual of a huge piece of meat, but since it was a roast dinner dish, I also made a separate sauce. Looking at the red color, is it a spicy sauce?

Finally, Phantom took the meat out of the oven. Although it got a little smaller after grilling, it was a huge chunk of meat that was comparable to mine alone and was cooked to a golden brown color and rested. Judging by the strong smell, it seems like the cooking over there is no easy task.

“I think it’s all done, so I guess we should review it soon, right?”

At Gray’s words, Phantom and I each brought our own plates and headed to the table where the judges were. As if in a battle of force, the aromas of two meat dishes with violent and overwhelming visuals mix together, signaling the start of the fight.

It’s time to decide the winner of the first match.
