104 102 Preliminary qualifying breakthrough sometime? (1/2)

Fran, derogatory of Curry, slammed a gastronomer's old man with enough kill to show him even during the battle.

Wait, wait, wait! The intimidation's on! If you hit an average person like this, it could be the worst fainting, incontinence, or worse!

”Curry is the best in the world”

”You're pretty sure it's delicious. But I refuse to accept this as the best in the world.”

Wow. This old man is amazing! I didn't move one eyebrow in front of this franc! It's not a level where the liver is sitting. That's right, you're not half the master of that path in any world.

”Fran, calm down”

(Calm down!

'Cause I'm not calm. In the meantime, ask why! Huh? That might convince me. So get your hands off my pattern!

”Mm-hmm. I'll ask you why”

That sounds great. To Fran, this old man looks like a complete enemy certification. Don't just put your hands on me!

”As for flavor, while there is room for improvement, it is a medium degree of completion. It is also unusual and even I ate it for the first time. I'll admit it. But I can't feel the cook from this dish!

”Perseverance?”

”You can call it motivation, passion, or pride. A cook naturally has it. And what you can put into the dish. But this plate doesn't have them. Carefully made, but nothing more than home cooking”

No, you don't have a choice. I tried so hard to feed Fran some good food. One of the big pot dishes I've made in large quantities. I made it politely so it wouldn't fail, but I said, ”I'm gonna cook you the ultimate dish! I didn't think at all.”

I told you, it's amateur cooking with cooking skills. After all, this old man is awesome. That's how you spot it. Fran's hostile, but I don't hate him that much. Something's cool.

”Guru.”

I've never seen anyone roar like that before.

”Well, passing is passing. Let's admit to joining that master and his alliance. It's just not what I expected.”

”... I won't admit”

”Hmm?”

”Curry is Ultimate! Never! Next time I'll make you admit it!

”Funny, but I'm busy looking like this. You just came to see me, didn't you? Not until tomorrow.”

”Mmm.”

No, I got a pass. It's okay, isn't it?

(No!)

'Cause he says he's busy.'

(Curry is the strongest! I can't give in!)

”Oh, I'll do that”

”How can I see you?

”I don't... If you want me to eat the food, why don't you show up for this?

The old man gave it to Fran was one flyer. What? Hosted by Barbora Culinary Guild, culinary king contest?

Primary qualifiers are brought in for screening. Secondary qualifiers compete in stalls. The final is the supreme plate of battles?

”I'm in the middle of a primary now. If this flavour and rarity qualifies for the second qualifying round. If you win there and get to the finals, you can feed me the food. One of the judges in the finals.”

”Out!”

”Hey, Fran? On your own!

You're gonna have to make a curry to get out, aren't you? Besides, it's a street fight. I don't even think Fran can sell it. Most importantly, if you go to the finals, there's no way you're just not going to show your face. Fran's out instead, cooking? I don't even think I can deceive this old man. If you just decide on momentum, you'll definitely regret it.

(Absolutely out)

'By and large, cooking pride is coming together, isn't it? We don't even know if we're gonna make it to the finals, do we?

(Bullshit. If you're a master, you're definitely a winner)

”I'm glad you said that.”

If I think about it normally, it's unlikely I'll make it to the finals. I'm sure he's been a cook for decades, and there's gonna be some amazing guys out there.
