The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero’s Mother! Chapter 277

Elsa's POV

Finally, it's my turn. I don't possess any culinary skills, nor do I enjoy studying. But I really don't want to lose this competition. That's why I'm challenging them using this thod. It's a little bet—if Serena-sama likes this, then I win. If he's the type who won't accept it, it's a complete defeat.

Serena's POV

"Again, it's outside, huh?" Fleur asked.

"I wonder what she's thinking? Could it be she's trying to copy ?" Roselia wondered.

For so reason, Elsa still hasn't arrived here. The taste that's nostalgic to has already done by the other two. If you think about it normally, she's at quite a disadvantage. What on earth is Elsa planning to do...?

For now, a big cutting board and a big knife... and is this garlic? Oh, it's soy sauce... Dad used it often. There's wasabi too... but without fish, it's not 'sashimi', right? Hmm, I can't even imagine.

"Thanks for waiting, everyone! I couldn't catch anything for a while!"

'Mooo'

"""Cow?!"""

"That's right! Because I lack cooking skills, I competed with ideas and freshness... Well then, let's get started!"

Elsa suddenly snapped the neck of the bound cow she brought.

"W-What are you going to do?"

"Well, not many people here will be surprised by this much... Hey, what are you doing all of sudden!?"

I usually don't feel that way when hunting, but when soone suddenly kill right in front of , for so reason, the cow looks pitiable. Maybe it's my imagination, but it feels like the cow is crying...

"Well then..."

Elsa peeled the skin off the killed cow and started dissecting it.

"Most of you probably aren't used to this kind of cooking, right? I have experience with camping, so outdoor activities are my thing..."

While saying that, she quickly dismantled the cow, cutting it into pieces by sections.

Near a beautiful river like this, she included bloodletting and lightly washed the at.

Then, she cut most of the at into bite-sized pieces and... what's this?

"Alright, it's done! Elsa's special, a whole cow cooking festival! In ancient tis, I used to use Minotaurs, but since they can't be overhunted now, I used wild cows as a substitute... Let's start with sashimi!"

"""Sashimi?"""

"That's right! It's not just fish that can be sashimi! If the at is fresh, you can eat it as sashimi too... Now, Serena-sama, please try it," Elsa handed the food.

"I see, garlic and soy sauce for this... You managed to get them well... Well then... Yes, it's delicious!"

"I knew it! You can't eat raw at unless it's fresh. After you've eaten a bit, the innards and other cuts can be grilled as yakiniku, so please eat while grilling them on that net," Elsa explained.

"It's surprisingly good," Fleur remarked.

"Oh, at sashimi, that's unusual," Roselia comnted while enjoying her al.

"After you're done with sashimi, enjoy the yakiniku as well! I've prepared a special sauce, so either that or eat it with salt... It's delicious," Elsa suggested.

"The yakiniku is quite good too! This sauce is delicious," Serena-sama added.

"It certainly is delicious," Fleur agreed.

"Yeah, this is amazing... I've never had at sashimi before, and while I can make yakiniku myself, this sauce is tasty. Yeah, I've never had anything like it," Roselia said with enthusiasm.

"That's right, isn't it? Around here, everyone is creative! This sauce is my secret recipe, so it's one of a kind in the world," Elsa revealed.

"That explains why it's so delicious."

"I'm satisfied hearing you say that, Serena-sama... So?" Fleur inquired.

"So, which one is the best?" Roselia asked.

"Mine, right?" Elsa suggested, hinting at her own dish.

Honestly, that's a difficult conversation. A draw... I want to say that, but they probably won't be satisfied.

"Give a mont to think, wait until tomorrow..."

"""Eh..."""

"I'm sorry, I can't decide easily... Just for one day... Sorry."

"That can't be helped."

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, huh."

For now, I've bought myself one more day... I have to figure sothing out by tomorrow.
