Ch. 6 ~ Duel!
Mito: Uuugh...
W, what should I do...
Hikari: Mito-chan, are you okay?
Xue can be a bit of a sore loser~
Mito: Do we really, have to compete over this...?
Iroha: It truly has become like a development out of "Warfront of Created Flavors"...
Hikari: I might have fanned the flames. I didn't realize Xue was so attached to the title of genius fried rice master.
Hikari: I was just thinking to expand my circle of friends, but I may have turned the two of them into rivals...
Mito: Mito is Xue-chan's rival...!?
Xue: Oi, I've brought the seasonings that weren't in the restaurant.
I've finished my preparations.
Mito: Hweeeeeh...!
Iroha: — Mito-chan, let's do this.
At this point, there is naught to do but to respond to Xue-chan's feelings.
Mito: Is there really no other option...!?
Mito: Mito... Just wanted to make fried rice like Xue-chan's...!
Hikari: Sorry, but I'd like you to follow along until she settles down~
Mito: ...
Mito: ... Ugh...
Mito: U, understood...
Iroha: ......
Kamira: So, I'll explain the rules, 'kay?
Each person makes one dish, and the time limit is 1 hour.
Kamira: I think it'd be fine for each of you to compete with a dish you're good at, but...
Sheshe, what are you going with?
Xue: I'll make the hotpot I'm good at.
Shiromaru, you should also compete with a dish you're good at.
Kamira: Mitorin, how 'bout you?
We'll pay for whatever you use, so don't worry about it.
Mito: Mito will...
Mito: Then, nikujaga.
Xue: It's decided, then.
Let's hurry up and get started.
Hikari: Aah~ ... I've done something bad to Mito-chan.
Iroha-san, too, sorry.
Iroha: No worries.
These kinds of developments kind of make me excited.
Hikari: Excited...!?
Iroha-san, super positive...
Xue: ...
Mito: (Xue-chan has already started. She has no hesitation.
Mito: ... That's right, we have to make a dish in just one hour)
Mito: (What should Mito...
But, it's not like I really want to win)
Xue: Shiromaru, how long are you just going to stand there?
Mito: Heh!?
Xue: I asked for a serious competition with you.
I won't forgive it if you hold back.
Mito: ...!
Xue: If you got it, hurry up and pick up your knife.
Mito: ... O, okay...
