The cooking duel for Rikka had finally arrived. Would she win the competition?
(What happened before)
Rose: "Huh... Rikka?"
Rikka: "Huh?... Huh... Rose!"
Rose: "What are you doing here?"
Rikka: "I should be asking you that."
Rose: "I'm taking part in the cooking competition."
Rikka: "Oh... me too."
Rose: "Oh, really? Oh, the food here is so delicious... You've become so pretty... What about that Bell?"
Rikka: "Oh... uh... hehehe... We're just friends... hehehe."
Rose: "Oh... okay... How about coming with me? Don't worry... we'll head to the town hall together."
Rikka: "Sure."
Now the duel had finally begun. It was time to cook.
Rikka: "Alright... What should I cook?"
Announcer: "Go! The dish has to be either a salad or a soup."
Rikka: "Hmm... Excuse me... Does it matter how I make it?"
Announcer: "Not at all."
Rikka: "Okay."
She picked mushrooms, meat, processed cheese, and cream.
Hunter's Soup.
She began cooking, just like everyone else.
Rose: "Hmm..."
Contestant: "Mhm..."
(A few hours later)
Rikka: "Alright... Now I need the salad... Tomatoes... Mushrooms... And meat..."
She mixed everything together.
Rose: "I've been finished for a long time already."
Contestant: "Hehehe... She's taking too long... That just proves she isn't very good."
Rikka: "Hmm."
Announcer: "Five minutes left."
Rikka: "Mmm..."
(Five minutes later)
Rikka: "Finished!"
The dishes were served to the judges first.
Rikka: "Mmm..."
Announcer: "Rose Petterson."
She stepped forward.
Rose: "Here you go."
It was a soup made with meat, mushrooms, cream, and cheese.
Rikka: "Huh?"
Rose looked at Rikka and stuck out her tongue.
Rikka: "Huh?"
Eugene: "I've got a bad feeling about this."
Judge: "This is good. It's delicious. The flavor is excellent, the cheese fits perfectly, and the salad is wonderful. Next."
The blond young man was next. His dish was also good.
Now it was Rikka's turn.
Rikka: "Mmm."
Announcer: "Mm... Mmmmm... I can't stop eating!"
Rikka: "Ugh."
Announcer: "This is so delicious... It's unbelievable... Isn't it?"
Judge: "Yes!"
Announcer: "The winner is..."
Rose: "Objection! Rikka Pricilia Green copied my dish. It's the exact same meal."
Fans: "Yeah! She's right! Boooo!"
Rikka: "WHAT?!"
Announcer: "Hmm...?"
Rikka: "That's not true! I can prove it. There are two things Rose didn't use!"
Announcer: "Hmm?"
Judge: "That's true... The meat is chicken, not beef... And the cheese is made from goat's milk."
Rikka: "Yes... exactly."
Rose: "Ugh..."
Judge: "...The winner is obvious to me... Rikka."
Rose: "Tsk..."
(A few minutes later)
Rose: "So...? You won."
Rikka: "...What was that just now, Rose?!"
Rose: "Did you really think I could ever like you? Hahahahahaha! You're so stupid... really stupid. You may have won... but only because you got lucky... And I'll become better than you... no matter what."
Rikka: "W... Wait... Was all of that just an act?"
Rose: "Of course it was. Who would ever be happy to be friends with you?"
Rikka: "Ugh..."
Rose: "You're disgusting."
She shoved Rikka aside.
Rikka: "Ugh..."
Rose: "Hmph."
(A few minutes later)
Rikka: "Haaah..."
Eugene: "Rikka..."
Shane: "Rikka?"
Rikka: "...Alright... From now on... the house... belongs to all of you."
Shane: "Huh?"
Clementine: "Huh?"
Rikka: "I've been betrayed enough... I'm giving you the house... I'm leaving... and I'll live alone. I don't want this anymore... I won the duel... with nothing but my own determination."
Clementine: "Rikka?"
Rikka: "Leave me alone... I'll take the wagon... and go... Enjoy the house."
She walked toward the wagon.
Rikka: "...I don't want to bother any of you... If all I do is get in everyone's way... then I'll just leave."
She walked away.
Clementine: "Hmm... It's okay... She's... been through so much... Maybe she'll recover."
Roland: "I hope so too... But for now... let's leave her alone."
