CHAPTER 1
Keith: The pasta is now ready to serve. Let’s move on to the sauce. Start by frying garlic in olive oil.
…How much? Add as much as you’d like. Well, maybe less for lunch and normal for dinner. You might want to add more if you couple it with booze~
Akira: So this is the cooking show that Keith appeared on. He is just as sloppy as he is.
Will: Haha… However, “Keith’s Snack (1) Cooking” is well received by everyone. I heard that a lot of viewers can follow the recipe because of its simplicity and taste.
Oscar: As expected from Keith-san, I’d like to give it a try too.
Brad: Everyone is here.
Oscar: Welcome back, Brad-sama. Has the meeting already ended?
Brad: Indeed, we’re just now reaching an agreement.
Hm? Did all of you watch Keith’s cooking show?
Will: Yep, I heard the show is very popular. So we all watched the one we had recorded.
Brad: I see. Then I make it short.
This cooking show received more great feedback than the TV channel and PR department expected. The fact that the show is well-received is because of the simple recipe that the hero prepared.
Prior to that, the TV channel suggested broadcasting a special cook-off between the heroes.
Akira: Cook-off….?
Brad: Yes. The main intention of making the show a cook-off is to attract a larger audience.
Akira: That sounds interesting… So, who’s joining?
Brad: After a meeting, we decided that it would be me and Dino against each other.
Oscar: Brad-sama and Dino-san?
Brad: At first, the suggestion is prior to the three members of the 10th term… or Miracle Trio, in other words.
However, Keith is already part of it. That’s why we need to have a meeting with the production team—
Dino: Then, what about me and Brad taking part in the cook-off? Keith can be the judge.
Producer: Oh, what a brilliant idea! I bet with you two in for the cook-off, the number will rise!
Keith: Oh~ as long as it’s fun, I give it ok.
Dino: What about you, Brad?
Brad: Hm…
Dino: Hey Brad. Is it a good idea? I think it is a great experience to learn from, and I really want to do it with Brad.
Brad: ……….
Dino: Brad, please~~~!
Brad: We’ll carry out Dino’s suggestion.
Oscar: Understood. That means you two will face each other for the cook-off.
Akira: I don’t get a single thing, but offer it to me.
Will: Wait, Akira…
Brad: Well, if you say so…
Akira: ……?
Brad: We were to have one rookie as an assistant to the show because the production team recalls the event from “New Year’s Heroes”.
I was asked to bring Akira to the show.
Akira: What!? Are you for real!?
Will: Fufu, you got it, Akira. You are the one who eagerly offers yourself first.
Akira: W-why is my role only that of an assistant? You’re not using me as a prop, right!
Brad: That depends on you, whether you end up playing the role of a prop or prove yourself worthy to gain success.
Akira: Arghh…
Who cares. I’ll try my hand at it! I’ll establish my reputation as a genius assistant!
Dino: We need one rookie to be our assistant, so I hope one of you can be my aid.
Faith: Be a cooking assistant, huh… Well, ochibi-chan is the ideal candidate for the role after all.
Junior: Hah!? Who are you to decide?
Faith: I see you watched Keith’s cooking show very keenly. Aren’t you interested in cooking?
Junior: N-not like that! No, I thought maybe I should try something new….
Keith: So you’re my fan too, yeah? If you want my signature, I can give it right away~
Junior: FUCKKKK!!! I DON’T WANT YOUR FUCKING SIGNATURE!!!
Translator notes:
(1): The term used here is おつまみ or o tsumami which means snack in the same time snack that goes with booze.
