145 – The Best Cooking Contest in the World (3)
It is safe to say that cooking is a very important part of life. Because if I don’t eat and drink right away, I can’t live. It was cooking that made it a little more luscious.
To put it bluntly, I can live without cooking. There must have been a time when I just ate raw vegetables or meat. However, can it be said that it is a human life?
Why humans, dwarves, elves, etc. Can numerous races be grouped together under the category of human? It’s not that we live like animals, we’re human because we really live like people.
Just as each person has a different taste in food. Even ethnic groups have very different tastes in food. Here, they had two options. One is to suit the taste of the leader.
And the other was to captivate the captain’s appetite with his own food. The two look similar, but in a completely different way. Naturally, Yuren chose the latter method.
‘The captain has been through a lot lately. He must have lost his strength. If that’s the case, I’ll have to cook something that will boost my energy.’
Of course, the only food that energized Yuren’s mind was meat. Of course, for Yuren, cooking was about picking up meat and eating it. She thinks that’s not enough.
‘Besides, it seems strange that the leader is avoiding me.’
If that dull Yuren noticed her. Although it meant that Hans was avoiding Yuren very openly. Fortunately, Yuren just let it go, saying it was because of his mood. There’s no way the leader can avoid himself.
Putting unnecessary thoughts aside, Yuren went to save her meat. She was wandering in the nearby woods. Excessive hunting of wild animals was forbidden. If you hunt too much, the forest’s resources will be destroyed.
This is not Hans’ ban. It was banned in other countries as well. Poaching is not banned for nothing. But now Hans allowed it. In any case, we need materials.
“Isn’t there a pretty good wild boar?”

“That means I found it first!”
“Ruby?”
I found a wild boar moving and snickering not far away. Yuren licked his lips and immediately tried to catch the boar. If only it hadn’t been for a giant hammer to slam her in front.
However, Yuren didn’t blink her eyes and only turned her head to look in the direction she swung her hammer. There stood her ruby, her eyes twinkling. Yuren smiled and opened her mouth.
“It doesn’t matter who finds it first. What matters is who catches it first.”
“……Tsk!”
“What’s the habit of talking to the former captain?”
“I’m tired of being bound by positions!”
“I agree.”
No bloodshed. Rather than the rules of a cooking contest. The fact that Hans said the strongest had a bigger effect. I didn’t want to be hated for not listening to Hans.
In that case.
There is only one way.
Ruby and Yuren jumped out of their seats and ran forward without anyone saying anything first. Surprisingly, the boar did not escape. To be precise, I was overwhelmed by the momentum and couldn’t escape.
All the poor wild boar could do was hope that it would end as painlessly as possible. And, of course, Yuren was the first to reach the boar.
Ruby gritted his teeth. No matter how hard she trains, she still can’t defeat that monster. However, she hasn’t given up yet. The moment she gives up, everything is over.
‘I learned them through the leader!’
I lost my mother to my father. The feeling of despair at the time when the motherland became frantic and pursued him. Even so, the girl decided to carry it. Even mimicking her own mother’s tone…….
It was a kind of imprint. As time goes by, emotions will gradually become dull. So, a trigger was needed. While remembering her mother, she will never stop avenging her.
I needed such an engraving. However, there was someone who made me forget even such revenge. Ruby learned a lot from the leader. Even in the most desperate circumstances. An indomitable flame that never gives up.
At that moment, Ruby’s hammer started to burn hotly. Ruby swung her hammer and slammed it into the ground. Bang! With a huge explosion, the poor wild boar was swept up in flames.
Yuren stared blankly at her catastrophe in front of her eyes. As if the burning flames represented Ruby’s will, the forest was not touched at all. Only one wild boar was completely burned to ashes.
“……Now, what are you doing here?”
At Yuren’s words, Ruby smiled and raised her middle finger.
“If I can’t have it! You can’t have it either!!”
I can’t keep up with the speed yet. But if you give up like this, your opponent will get the material first. So, after much thought, Ruby chose. If I can’t have it, I won’t let the other person have it either!
That’s an indomitable will to never give up!
…… If Hans had seen it, it would have been a real shame.

“Really good food is made with fruit.”
Unlike Yuren and Ruby preparing meat. Clara was preparing a secret elven dish she had learned from her mother. Although she was a bit worried about Clara because she was not on good terms with the elves.
She soon changed her mind. Because the leader wasn’t a small person enough to care about each and every food. Rather, it’s closer to the big people. In fact, even the elves were invited to the tribal union meeting.
Thanks to this, Clara was given an untimely responsibility. If you get caught with food for nothing. At that time, he seems unable to raise his face to the leader. So, prepare properly.
‘Clara, I’ll leave you with this recipe.’
‘This…….’
‘This is the secret elf recipe I wrote down.’
‘Poetry, can the referee give me something like this?!’
‘The recipe doesn’t matter. The important thing is only your skill.’
“……That’s right, that’s damn right.”
No matter how good the recipe is. Finding the ingredients yourself and cooking them depended on your skills. And most of the recipes Cluna handed over to Clara were unusable.
I can’t get the ingredients here. Most of the cooking utensils needed traditional elven utensils. No, it was safe to say that it was virtually everything. However, Clara did not give up.
She, too, has learned a lot about her food over her shoulder. Even by her mother’s side. Even if she had no tools or materials, she knew how to substitute them.
“Certainly, this would have been a big problem if I just trusted the recipe and messed around.”
Clara understood the meaning without difficulty. Indeed, it was a kind of provocation that you could digest this with your skills. Clara was thrilled. Yeah, let’s try it
“Oh, I’m sorry. Can’t you give me that grassroots…?”
“Bayard? How is this place?”
“Me, I have my own food to prepare.”
It’s not strange at all. Unlike Dwarves and Dragons who just decided to eat only meat. The beast tribe eats meat and vegetables in harmony with each other. Of course, the main course is meat.
There was also a vegetable dish that even elves could enjoy. But that and this were separate issues. This herb was a necessary ingredient for Clara’s cooking.
“Sorry, but this is mine.”
“So, where can I get one?”
“If you look around here, there will be more. It’s not common, but it’s not hard to find.”
“That, thank you. That, and be careful…”
Unexpectedly, it was Bayard, who quietly withdrew. What I said at the end took a little longer. It was just then that I thought what it meant. The sparks that flew in from somewhere hit the grass roots.
“Oh?”
I couldn’t even try to do anything. As soon as the fire hit, the grass roots were completely burned. On that subject, I didn’t get a single burn on my hand. What that meant was pretty obvious.
Clara’s gaze turned to the direction the sparks had come from. Naturally, there were two women standing there. She is a woman of considerable build, and a woman who appears only to be her little boy.
“Why does this f*cking b*tch come all of a sudden and give a damn?”
“Sorry! There was a very brief error!”
“Error? Did you say error now?”
How the hell does an error come out, I don’t touch my hands at all. Is it possible to burn only the ingredients? Of course I know it’s bullsh*t. Clara had no choice but to kindle her anger.
“Wait, I understand your anger. I don’t have time right now.”
“What nonsense are you talking about again?”
“Think about it. The others must be ahead by now, right?”
“That’s right, right?”
“This is against us. So, we have to start all over again, isn’t it?”
“…….”
It was Yuren’s sophistry that went beyond Ruby’s bullsh*t. It meant nothing to Clara, who had already lost her sight. The worry was short-lived. Her conclusion was the same.

If I can’t.
You can’t either.
