The speaker glanced at Siegfried, the implication being clear: this mission was for the dragon-slaying hero.

Of course, some glanced at Martha, which is quite intriguing.

Tarasque, danger!

Emiya and Kurenai Enma have gone to the warehouse to prepare their respective materials; this is a question that really tests one's imagination.

What methods will these two culinary masters use to achieve this?

The people present began to speculate.

Since the ingredients are limited, the option of using real dragon meat in cooking is now closed. How to maximize their imagination and associate the dishes with dragons is up to the two of them to improvise.

The selection of materials took a little longer than expected, and everyone waited quite a while before seeing the two slowly pushing the cart out.

Of course, this is also largely due to the large number of judges. Dozens of people are waiting to eat, so if you make too little, you'll definitely get bad reviews. That's something you can just guess.

"It's finally starting!"

Seeing that the two finally started cooking, the scene fell silent instantly. This kind of open cooking demonstration is a rare sight.

Normally, everyone is only responsible for eating, and very few people actually go into the kitchen.

Trace on!

Emiya quickly demonstrated his specialty: Projection Magic.

The ingredients were limited, but the methods were not.

Making so many dishes at once would be extremely difficult without some kind of Magecraft trick.

He Projection several stoves, all of which were his usual tools. His figure moved constantly between the stoves, sometimes even creating afterimages.

Multitasking is a piece of cake for Emiya. He is busy but not chaotic, and appears very organized. Years of experience have made his control over time and processes muscle memory, so he can do it effortlessly without having to memorize it.

"Is this really cooking?" Megumi Tadokoro was starting to doubt her own existence.

This is quite different from her understanding of cooking.

Tamamo Cat explained, "Meows can do it too, but there's no need to woof."

Emiya has Projection Magic, Kurenai Enma isn't good at; she has her own method.

Which rattan box should we use?

Kurenai Enma quickly summoned a cage, and a flock of sparrows flew out chirping.

"This is for work!"

Soon the group of sparrows began to fly around and help out.

With the help of the sparrow, Kurenai Enma's cooking became effortless.

If she wants something, the sparrows will deliver it to her immediately without needing to say anything; their level of understanding is off the charts.

Both of them displayed their unique skills and had their own methods, so it's impossible to say whose was better or worse.

The production process alone was dazzling and fascinating to everyone present.

However, it is precisely because of the difference in methods that the dishes cooked by Emiya and Kurenai Enma also differ.

Emiya clearly made small portions, while Kurenai Enma made an enormous one.

It's too early to tell which is better, but from a purely sensory perspective, the Kurenai Enma is more impactful.

Its enormous size is already very satisfying to look at, and the shape of the dragon is slowly taking shape.

It's clear that Kurenai Enma is going down the path of focusing on appearance, but it's unknown whether there will be any other creative ideas.

Emiya, on the other hand, has nothing to do with dragons. His dishes don't reflect any dragon elements at all, so it seems he won't be going down the path of dragon appearance. He must be going in another direction, but we don't know for sure yet.

Now that the crucial moment has arrived, even the Elizabeth Báthory has forgotten her duties as the host, refraining from providing commentary and staring intently at the two of them.

More attention was drawn to Kurenai Enma's side, as everyone watched a giant dragon slowly take shape, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

Laymen watch the spectacle, experts see the details.

Compared to the others, Erina observed very carefully.

She discovered that the Kurenai Enma used different ingredients for different parts of the dragon, and even the cooking methods were different.

The lower limbs are made of firm dough, the tail is made of tender fish meat, the spine is made of several long bone strips, the outer skin is fried to create a wrinkled appearance, and the inside contains different ingredients.

She even saw that the Kurenai Enma had veins laid out; if she didn't know she was cooking, it would have looked more like a complete model of a dragon.

The dragon's skull was carved from various fruits and vegetables, and inside was a rice ball carefully made by the Kurenai Enma as the dragon's brain. It was even drizzled with a layer of fragrant soup, with even the brain marrow taken into account.

The level of detail is evident.

Dragon horns are made from rolled vegetable leaves, and their pointed shape looks perfectly natural.

The most unique one is the dragon's heart.

The Kurenai Enma skillfully sewed together the membranes of animal entrails and filled the inside with a red broth that smelled of wine.

It was crystal clear, and it would even bounce as she manipulated it, beating like a living heart.

Such exquisite craftsmanship is beyond belief; no one would imagine that a dish could be made so refined unless they saw it with their own eyes.

It must be said that there's a reason why the Kurenai Enma was asked to teach by the Heroic Spirit.

Her culinary skills are beyond those of a chef; she's practically an artist.

Judging from Da Vinci's eyes, she believed that she could make a dragon model in her workshop that was no worse than the one in front of her, but using ingredients to make it?

Let her go; she's still a child.

The dragon was already taking shape, with only its wings missing.

This time, the children finally couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Dragon wings are a favorite dessert among children.

The cooked syrup is slowly drawn into threads, interwoven like a tailor's, creating a colorful tapestry.

Compared to the dragon's body, the colors of its wings were exceptionally vibrant.

The decorations on the dragon's body looked perfectly natural, and the dragon, which originally looked a bit monotonous in color, suddenly became dazzling.

Once the glittery syrup solidifies, it reflects the lights on site, changing colors.

"These wings are mine now! You are what you eat, and I really need to replenish the energy in my wings!"

Illya couldn't wait to assert her right to these wings, and she even had a reason ready.

Chapter 45, Section 512: Awooo

The children are already arguing over who gets to have the wings; they're not going to be friendly or considerate in this matter.

The giant dragon of the Kurenai Enma was nearing completion, and everyone's eyes grew brighter and brighter as they waited with growing impatience.

"Excuse me, excuse me!"

Teacher Qiao came forward and shooed everyone away. She set up the camera on a tripod and patiently adjusted it. She was determined to take a close-up shot, preferably from multiple angles.

"Done! Kiss!"

Kurenai Enma wiped the sweat from her brow, looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction and nodding in approval.

"Thank you for your hard work! kiss"

She thanked the little sparrows and called them back.

Click! Click! Click!

Teacher Qiao kept taking pictures of the edible giant dragon in front of her.

"Teacher Qiao, is it ready yet? Hurry up, it won't taste good if it gets cold!"

Everyone kept urging him on.

"Take two more pictures, just two more and that'll be enough!"

Teacher Qiao gave a few perfunctory words, but then kept pressing the shutter, clearly taking far more than two photos.

Amidst everyone's constant urging, he knew he couldn't continue like this, so he put away the camera and joined in to enjoy the delicious food.

Everyone rushed forward, thinking that if they were quick, they would miss out, and squeezed to the front.

"Wait a minute! Chirp!"

Kurenai Enma stopped the group of hungry tigers from pouncing on their prey. She took out her kitchen knife and gently tapped the dragon's belly near its heart with the back of the blade.

It should be noted that in addition to her excellent cooking skills, she is also a very skilled swordsman, so this strike clearly had a deeper meaning.

"Alright, chirp!"

Kurenai Enma slowly stepped aside, making room for everyone.

"No waste allowed! Chirp!"

Kurenai Enma's reminder was very necessary. It seemed the competition would be fierce, and she absolutely could not tolerate any food being wasted, such as dropping it on the ground or onto people.

Whoosh!

No sooner had the Kurenai Enma finished speaking than a figure appeared beside the dragon, as if she had been waiting there all along.

Jack!

With a flash of her dagger, she swiftly severed half a wing. Then, with a quick scoop, she grabbed the severed wing and leaped away from the crowd, nimbly reaching the side to enjoy the moment.

As expected of Jack!

He's useless at everything, but he's number one at eating!

Presence Concealment is really useful, Jack thought to himself with delight. Even if Kuro could teleport, it wouldn't be as fast as her lying in ambush nearby.

The others used their own unique skills to attack the dragon, mercilessly tearing it into pieces.

Tamamo Cat was gnawing on the huge dragon tail, and even had time to share some with Megumi Tadokoro, showing that she was quick and ruthless in her attack.

At this point, those who are particular about etiquette are at a disadvantage, because after everyone else has finished, they are left with only the leftover parts.

Erina picked up some of the remaining 'dragon meat' and put it on her plate.

Her expression was very serious; she was one of the few people in the room who was truly savoring the food.

"Chicken." Erina quickly realized the true nature of this piece of 'dragon meat'.

Then she tasted a small piece, "Ham!"

Although it was only what was left after the first bite was taken, Erina was able to taste many different parts of the food.

"It has a special fragrance..." She chewed slowly, while carefully looking at the remaining 'dragon meat' on the plate and noticing the red lines on the pieces of meat.

"I see!"

Erina realized the origin of the red lines when she thought of the red soup that Kurenai Enma had placed in the dragon's heart.

Unable to understand how Kurenai Enma managed to do it, Erina wanted to investigate the specific methods used.

But obviously, it was impossible for her to see Long Xin's current situation, as Long Xin had long since been taken away by someone.

She shook her head inwardly, "These aren't judges, they're a bunch of robbers."

Erina Nakiri didn't know was that Chaldea always relied on fighting for food.

In Holmes' words, "That's common sense, my dear friend!"

Erina was feeling very conflicted. At this moment, she truly hated herself for God Tongue. The wonderful taste of the 'dragon meat' amazed her, but she was also subconsciously trying to distinguish the ingredients.

If her sense of taste were less refined, she might actually have mistaken it for real dragon meat, but unfortunately, that was not for her.

The giant dragon on the table had vanished, as if it had never existed, leaving behind a scene so pristine it was heartbreaking.

Remaining? Chaldea doesn't have that word.

The Elizabeth Báthory's voice rang out at just the right moment. "This is truly an exquisitely delicious 'dragon meat'!"

She actually regretted taking on the host job a little; because she was far away, she only managed to grab a section of the dragon's horn in the end.
