Joshua felt that he was supposed to be participating in a Culinary Competition.
The kind where all sorts of people who did not look like chefs made dishes that seemed impossible to exist in reality, and after the judges ate them, strange effects like fevers and Clothes Explosion would occur.
But the scene before Joshua was far removed from the Culinary Competition he had imagined. Never mind a competition... it had clearly turned into a massive buffet.
"So who came in first?"
Joshua glanced at the Black Dragon Duke, who was gnawing on an entire slab of sweet-and-sour ribs.
It had no way to answer Joshua's question, but neither could anyone else present.
Because they were all busy eating lunch... the lunch Joshua had made.
"Perhaps we'll need to wait a while before we can decide?" White Bird said uncertainly.
"Fine. I wasn't expecting this competition to proceed smoothly anyway."
