Chapter 385
How did it come to this?
[I knew that one of these days, I would have to settle things with you once and for all . ]
[Ehh~~ Why don’t you just keep on running away? That is if you don’t want to be defeated…… Don’t you think?]
[Fufufu, that’s really funny . I’ve always known you would be a great clown, Shalltear . ]
[Ahaha, I think you shouldn’t be saying anything too cool, you know? You’re really funny, you know? Ein-san . ]
[……Fufufu . ]
[……Hahaha . ]
Both of them were smiling, but in front of me, sparks were flying in between Ein-san and Alice . Both of them look as if Hannyas were floating behind their backs, and cold sweat runs down my back .
I didn’t know if Kuro couldn’t carelessly interject between them or not, but she flusteredly looked between them .
[……Kaito…… Tea…… Here . ]
[T- Thank you . ]
However, amongst this atmosphere, only Isis-san was acting normal . With a cute smile on her face, she only offered me a cup of tea .
It all started just a few moments ago…… around an hour or so, after we came back to the accommodation facility together after I slept on Kuro’s lap .
After that, Isis-san came and we all decided to have dinner together……
[Well then, Kuromu-sama . I will start preparing dinner . ]
[Unnn . I’ll leave it to you~~]
Yes, just as Ein-san was about to head for the kitchen to make dinner, Alice, who had appeared before I knew it, muttered .
[……In that case, should I make it myself? I’m very familiar with Kaito-san’s taste after all . ]
[……Shalltear? Can I take that as a challenge to me?]
[Ehh? No, I didn’t mean to pick a fight with Ein-san . If it’s Ein-san cooking for us, I’m sure that you will prepare a very sumptuous and delicious meal, and thinking about it now makes me look forward to it…… Well, it’s not just about being very sumptuous though . ]
[……Hohh?]
Around that time, for some reason, things started to get unsettling . I think it was probably at that moment that the first sparks flew .
[……That’s a really amusing joke you have . Are you saying that you’re better than a maid like me?]
[No, no, that’s not what I was saying~~ Well, what I’m saying is that I’m better at you in terms of cooking food that Kaito-san will like……]
[……E- Ein? S- Shalltear?]
Kuro seemed to have also sensed the situation, and tried to make a follow-up but…… she was too late .
[H- Hey, Kuro? Do these two not get along with each other?]
[That’s not the case! Rather, this is even the first time they’ve ever had a fight, you know!? Shalltear normally wouldn’t be so stubborn about things either……]
It seemed that Ein-san and Alice weren’t particularly on bad terms with each other . According to Kuro, Alice was more likely to back down when the atmosphere became like this but…… It seemed that Alice was getting stubborn because I was involved in this matter .
……What should I do?

And now, there were two cooking tables in front of me, set up like those cooking shows on TV, with Ein-san and Alice facing each other . It feels like a true cooking competition .
[……Are you okay with those ingredients, Shalltear?]
[……It’s not all about how sumptuous the ingredients are . I know all about Kaito-san’s tastes! I even remember the moment when “he cried after he accidentally ate bell peppers”!]
[Oi! Why the heck do you know that!?]
Seriously, where the heck is my privacy!? Why is my black history being spread around all the time!?
This is weird . This is supposed to be a confrontation between Ein-san and Alice, but why the heck am I receiving damage here? Oi, Kuro! You’re their guardian! Don’t just sit next to me with a resigned look on your face, eating baby castellas!
[……Start……]
Isis-san too, why are you acting like a referee there!? No more, I can’t follow what’s happening anymore!
With Isis-san’s call, both of them immediately started moving .
In the blink of an eye, Ein-san was chopping a large amount of food and preparing it in a complicated manner . Meanwhile, Alice cooked with a number of knives, brilliantly making use of all of them at the same time .
To be honest, the both of them were so fast that I couldn’t see them, but they’re probably evenly matched…… I guess?
[……You’re doing great, Shalltear . As expected of the one I recognize as my equal . ]
[Ein-san too, you’re as great as ever…… As expected of a maid . ]
……Well, I’ve got a lot of things I want to say but…… Don’t nonchalantly use the word “maid” as if you’re talking about a superhuman . It’s just Ein-san that’s monstrously powerful here .

I didn’t really know what’s going on, but it seems like they recognized each other and a heated battle was going on .
As I look at them, a white container and a spoon were placed in front of me .
[……Here…… Kaito . ]
[Eh? Isis-san? What’s this?]
[……Gratin…… I made it…… for Kaito . ]
[T- Thank you…… Arehh?]
I feel like something’s strange . Why did Isis-san, who was acting like a referee just now, present me a gratin as if it was natural?
I mean, this gratin…… When in the world did she make it?
[……Because Kaito was coming…… I made it . ]
[Ahh, I see…… So that’s why Isis-san met up with us later . ]
[……Unnn . ]
The reason why Isis-san wasn’t here when I arrived at this accommodation facility was that she was making gratin for me huh .
Unnn, this makes me…… kind of happy . Not eating this isn’t an option .
[……Here…… Ahhhn . ]
[……With this, I’m fini——- Isis!?]
[I’m also done——- What’s happening!?]
At the same time as Isis-san offered to feed me with a smile, Ein-san and Alice also finished cooking…… and their eyes widened in astonishment when they saw Isis-san .

[W- Wait, Isis-san? W- What is that……]
[……Gratin . ]
[No, that’s not what I was talking about . Ummm, what about the match between me and Shalltear……]
[……There’s one…… for everyone, okay?]
[ [ ……I- I see…… . ] ]
Apparently, Isis-san didn’t quite understand why Ein-san and Alice are fighting against each other . They certainly didn’t say anything directly, and they were just indirectly throwing taunts at each other……
Thus, I didn’t know if the malicious thoughts in their minds were cleared away by Isis-san’s pure smile or not, but both of their shoulders slumped down .
Seeing the situation, Kuro took out a blue flag out of nowhere and declared .
[……This is, unnn…… Isis’ victory!]
[……What?]
[The Dinner Showdown for Kaito-kun . ]
[……Unnn? ……I don’t really know…… what’s happening but…… I won . ]
After saying that while tilting her head, Isis-san turned to Ein-san and Alice and gave them a lovely smile .
[……Shalltear and Ein too…… Let’s eat? ……If everyone eats together…… It becomes…… even more delicious . ]
[… . . Roger that . By the way, Ein-san, that looks delicious, doesn’t it? Please let me have a taste . ]
[……I don’t mind . In return, let me have a taste of that too . ]
After accepting the request of the pure-hearted Isis-san, Alice and Ein-san wryly smiled before preparing a chair . Then, Ein-san glanced at Kuro, and after she received her nod, she sat down .
Of course, Kuro put away her baby castellas and began to eat the gratin that Isis-san had made with a smile .
Dear Mom, Dad————- The cooking showdown between Ein-san and Alice started before I knew it, but in the end, the match didn’t come to a conclusion . However, seeing the two of them enjoying themselves somehow, it seems like it’s just as Kuro said———– It’s Isis-san’s victory .
