Stop it, it Sends Chills Down My Spine

“[Emperor Chef]…? That is, isn’t it a Class III job in the cooking line…? But didn’t you just recently acquire [King Tamer]…?” (Bastian)

“Yeah. But I already mastered it, so now I’m mastering the cooking line jobs one after another.” (Leon)

“Leon-dono… who exactly are you… no, understood. Then, I will begin preparations for the ‘Great Prayer’ immediately.” (Bastian)

Bastian was confused, but perhaps because he already understood that Leon was an existence far beyond common sense, he surprisingly accepted it without much resistance.

“—Yes, with this, Leon-dono has acquired the new job [Emperor Chef].” (Bastian)

“Thank you, head priest-ojiichan.” (Leon)

Just to be sure, Leon checked it with appraisal.

Jobs:

[Sword Master] Level 20

[Grand Wizard] Level 20

[Saint] Level 20

[King Thief] Level 20

[King Tamer Summoner] Level 20

[Emperor Chef] Level 1

(So now I have six Class III jobs. My species level is maxed out, and I have 5000 job points left. For now, I have no idea which job line I will acquire next, but by calculation, I can still get two more job lines up to Class III.)

“Aren’t you going to meet with the Three Saintesses? They are very worried about you.” (Bastian)

As Leon was about to leave, Bastian called him back.

“Hmm…” (Leon)

He had left without saying anything the other day, so maybe it would be better to at least show my face, but

(It’s a hassle.)

To be honest, that was his feeling.

“Well, I’m a little busy right now. Could you please send my regards to them, Ojii-chan?” (Leon)

“…Understood. Then I shall do so.” (Bastian)

Relieved that the old man was so understanding, Leon teleported back to Barbara.

“…Now then. I want to max out [Emperor Chef], but… I don’t have much time left.” (Leon)

Actually, he had not even secured the right to participate yet. To enter the tournament, he had to go to the restaurant guild and pass a simple test there. For that, he had to actually cook the dishes he planned to offer at the tournament, but Leon hadn’t even thought of the recipes yet. The tournament was in two weeks. On the other hand, the test, which was like a preliminary, had to be passed within one week. He should prioritize this before leveling up [Emperor Chef].

“What should I do…” (Leon)

Just as he was about to think about the recipes… Countless ideas exploded in his mind. He imagined dishes he had never seen or thought of before, which raced through his head.

“…Looks delicious.” (Leon)

Just imagining them made his mouth water.

“I see, as expected of a Class III job… Even though it’s only level 1, new recipes keep coming one after another. Also, even though I haven’t tasted them, I can roughly understand the flavor. The problem is there are too many, so I can’t narrow them down…” (Leon)

The tournament sales would be from food stalls. Naturally, the dishes must be easy to prepare at a stall.

“No, I could also make a large quantity in advance and store it in an item box.” (Leon)

Should I make light snacks that are easy to eat on the go, or something more filling? The former will likely have lower profit per item but sell in larger quantities. The latter is less suitable for stall sales but has a higher unit price, so if successful, sales could surpass the former. By the way, the contestants compete by total sales.

“Something too novel won’t work. Customers will hesitate to try it. But too ordinary won’t work either. It needs a touch of novelty. Then…” (Leon)

Leon settled on one recipe. It was a bold combination of two dishes that did not exist a hundred years ago but have become common in present-day Barbara.

“All right, I’ll make it and have a taste test.” (Leon)

After that, Leon went to the market to get ingredients and returned to the inn.

“‘Leon!’” (Arc/Iris)

“Leon!” (Meltera)

“Welcome back!” (Everyone)

The twins and Meltera had been waiting for Leon’s return. As soon as they saw his face, the twins jumped on him.

“…I don’t mind the two of you, but why are you hugging me too?” (Leon)

“I-It was just the momentum! Momentum! No other intention!” (Meltera)

Blushing, Meltera pulled away from Leon.

“I want to hug you too!” (Silvia)

“Stop it, it sends chills down my spine.” (Leon)

Leon ran away from the lunging Silvia.

“Anyway, I want you to taste the dish I came up with.” (Leon)

“Taste test?” (Arc/Iris)

“It means I want you to try eating it.” (Leon)

“Okay! We’ll eat!” (Arc/Iris)

With the twins shining with excitement, Leon headed to the inn’s kitchen. He explained the situation to the landlady, who gladly allowed him to use the kitchen.

“What are you making?” (Arc/Iris)

“You’ll see once it’s done. Now, go be quiet over there.” (Leon)

The twins followed him excitedly but were shooed away, and Leon immersed himself in cooking. The recipe was already perfect, and thanks to his skills, he cooked with better efficiency than ever before.

In about 30 minutes, the prototype was complete.
