God of cooking

Chapter 30: A well made dish and good food (1)

It does not belong to me. It is translated by KobatoChanDaiSuki   

It would be cruelty for the losers, but at least, Grand Chef treated it's winners really well. Right now, it was the same on using fresh ingredients. All the participants, excluding the disqualified ones, could use fresh ingredients without restrictions.

A pantry that had almost all of the ingredients excluding foie gras and shark fin. The ingredients warehouse was no different to heaven for those who liked to cook.

It was an obvious thing for the participants to grab the knife a couple of times in a day. They made experiments without holding back, and those experiments were eaten by the broadcasting crew, but were mostly eaten by themselves.

And that was the reason Chloe wanted to cry.

"What can I do. I think I got fatter."

Chloe said that while grabbing her belly fat. Jo Minjoon looked at her as if he couldn't understand her. Because in his eyes, she just looked slim. Because of her lightly tanned skin, her body seemed as resilient as a black person.

However, Jo Minjoon didn't particularly point that out. Because he knew well that whenever you talked about weight with a girl, there would be nothing to gain with that. But Marco didn't seem to be like him. He looked at Chloe with a dumbfounded expression.

"You..... got fatter?"

Chloe looked back at Marco and put an awkward face. Marco's barrel like body that was seated on a sofa, made it look like it was a bath chair. To complain about her weight next to him. It was at that moment. Next to them a grumbling voice could be heard.

"If she says that she got fatter, then she did. Does she have to get as fat as you to say that she gained weight?"

It was Kaya. She opened her mouth with her usual cold expression. Only, she wasn't looking at Marco but was looking at her handphone screen. Seeing that her eyes twitched at times, she was probably reading comments about her. Chloe sat in the sofa's arm and started to massage Kaya.

"Why don't you stop reading the comments? That's not good for your mental health."
"It's okay. This much bad mouthing is something I use to hear all the time."

Jo Minjoon looked at Kaya and let out a sigh. Even after the first episode ended, she didn't check the comments about her like that. No, even if she did check, she did it with a lighter expression. However, she wasn't like that right now. To be precise, it was after yesterday's second episode got broadcasted.

Grand Chef episode 2 was about the qualifying processes in other regions. Probably, it was going to be like that until episode 3. The important thing was the protagonist of episode 2. Just like Kaya became the main character in episode 1, episode 2 protagonist was Anderson.

And that was a method to originate fervor between the viewers. Kaya Lotus, who comes from the ghetto, and Anderson Rousseau, who grew from an elite chefs house. The colour of the two participants were clearly different.

It was the start of war. Kaya's fans bad mouthed Anderson, and it was the same otherwise. In the end, both of the participants ended up getting hurt, but fandom tended to flow to the extreme.

Jo Minjoon just looked at Kaya. She was still young, but she was already grown up. They say that you won't get any business in front of ill natured comments, but Jo Minjoon believed that Kaya would accept that naturally. However he didn't like that she kept on looking at the comments. Jo Minjoon said. It was a magic word that could make every one to get up.

"Let's eat lunch."
".....lunch? It isn't even 11:30? It hasn't even been 3 hours since I had breakfast."
"If you keep cooking then you will get hungry. And Chloe, you are still slim. So there's no need to be like that. Let's go."
