Fulilian: Dominate Aura at the beginning

Chapter 155 The Greatest Culinary Tournament in Another World (Part 1)

"So, Agusid..."

Can you explain the current situation to me?

At the top of the Maurice Great Cliff, in the open space in front of the Monastery of the Age of Gods—

Vlame stared blankly at the dragon's body, which was being lifted up by the [Heavenly Wind Summoning Magic].

Then he looked down at the vegetables that he had forced to grow at his feet.

He raised his gaze and quietly looked at Agushid, who stood before him with a relaxed expression.

Humanity's first great mage fell into deep thought.

If she remembers correctly, what she talked about in the monastery half an hour ago was a cooking competition, right?

Their temporary separation was also to allow them to each find suitable ingredients—

Is that right?

That being the case...

Why did Agusid hunt down this 'Frost Dragon Slayer', which was clearly an adult and undoubtedly possessed the skill of a Grand Mage?
And judging from the looks of it—

"Heavenly Frost Dragon Slayer" was completely powerless to resist, and the battle seemed to end in an instant.

……

Leaving aside Agushid's exaggeratedly unbelievable power,
Vlame couldn't understand why he would hunt such a top-tier dragon species that was almost an endangered species.

"Let's make it clear beforehand, we just agreed to a cooking competition, not a martial arts contest—"

"So even if you don't know where you hunted this adult 'Frost Dragon Slayer' from, I won't just surrender and consider you the winner."

Hearing his wife's words, which seemed to indicate a misunderstanding,
Agushid first unleashed a slash, slicing the massive dragon's body into sections.
Then, pieces of dragon meat were placed on the surrounding snow.

After doing all this, he slowly walked forward.
Looking directly at Vlamena's suspicious face, the most powerful demon gave a soft explanation.

“I didn’t mishear your request from the beginning, Vlame—”

"This 'Frost-Slaying Dragon' is just food I'm preparing for the competition..."

Ingredients?

……

"?"

Upon hearing Agushid's explanation, Vlame tilted his head, a question mark slowly appearing on his forehead.

Does she have some kind of generation gap with Agushid from a thousand years in the future?

A legendary monster left over from the mythical era, a top-tier dragon species—

"Heavenly Frost Dragon Slayer"
These are the ingredients that Agusid mentioned were prepared for the competition.

Top-tier dragon species, ingredients...

How did these two words come together to form a sentence?
Even the emperors of unified empires throughout history, or even the sages of the mythical era, might not have received such treatment.
Even when she was invited to participate in the current emperor's birthday celebration during the time she was teaching court magicians in the capital,
I didn't see anything like it at the grandest banquet in the entire empire—

Even when she was working for Seria, she had never seen her teacher use a top-tier dragon as food...

Although the vast majority of the reason stemmed from Old Man Magic's reclusive attitude and laziness in not going out to search.
But Agusid's ability to find, kill, and bring back the "Frost Dragon Slayer" in just half an hour is remarkable.

Vlame dares to guarantee it.

Even if my own master were here, he absolutely couldn't do this.

"The future Agushid is truly incomprehensibly strong—"

"And according to him, this is only because he brought the magical techniques, without bringing the magical power along with them..."

"A thousand years later, Agusid was able to defeat the Demon King head-on. I'm actually starting to believe that what he said before was true."

The thought that Agusid a thousand years later might indeed have the potential to defeat the Demon King did not make Volame happy.
On the contrary, after realizing this, she sighed silently.

Because the more likely the future Agushid is to defeat the Demon King,
That means the more intense the obsession with seeing her again and bringing her back to life becomes for Agushid, the heavier it becomes.

The burden was so heavy that even if the odds of victory were not small, he would not choose to risk going to defeat the Demon King and end the thousand-year war between humans and demons.

"Really..."

"Agusid, who has rediscovered his feelings, is now by my side. I should be happy—"

"Why think about things that will make people unhappy at a time like this..." He shook his head, clearing his mind of all the jumbled thoughts.

Vlame slowly moved a little closer to Agushid, then pointed to the dragon meat that had been cut into pieces.

"I won't even ask how you managed to find and hunt the 'Frost Slayer Dragon' so quickly..."

"But Agusid, can you tell me why you chose it as an ingredient?"

"Because you like it—"

"Isn't that right? I don't think I would misremember your preferences."

I don't think I would misremember your preferences...

It's so cunning of Agushid to suddenly say something so embarrassing.

"I haven't misremembered; these are indeed my preferences..."

"But you don't need to hunt the 'Frost Dragon Slayer' just for lunch, do you?"

"This is far too extravagant. I doubt many people throughout history have ever received such treatment."

Although I was indeed embarrassed by Agushid's remarks,
But the first great mage of mankind was still quite helpless, softly complaining about his lover's recklessness.

Agushid realized that there was no resentment or dissatisfaction in Volame's words...

So he naturally ignored his wife's nagging.

"luxury?"

Agushid murmured softly, shaking his head slightly at the word Vlame uttered.
He never deliberately sought it out, and even if we're talking about extravagance and generosity, it's not his place.

Demon King——

The person who orchestrated all these coincidences is the one who is most wasteful and extravagant.

Agushid reached out and gently stroked the light red hair on Vlame's forehead.

Then, gazing at his wife, he softly defended himself.

"Consider this a gift from an old friend—"

"Since you like this ingredient anyway, why not buy it?"

old friend?
Aghushid, are you sure this isn't a lame excuse?
You can send "Heavenly Frost Dragon Slayer" as an ingredient to your old friend—

Who else could it be but the Demon King...?

But we just escaped death from the Demon King's clutches a few years ago.

If he could sense that you've returned from the future, he probably wouldn't even have time to run away, would he?
Vlamé did not pursue the matter further.
Instead, she coughed lightly and then focused her gaze on the 'ingredients'.

"Cough-cough-"

"Agushid, let's put aside other matters for now."

"You know it yourself, right? Using such top-quality ingredients to compete with me is blatant cheating..."

“This is completely unfair to me—”

Unfair?
Anyway, no matter who wins or loses, we'll wash each other's backs at the end of the shower, right?

I thought you were joking when you first brought up this so-called competition...

Didn't expect you to care so much about winning or losing?

"Hmm... I personally don't think it's a problem."

"But since you, Vlame, feel this is unfair, what do you intend to do?"

"Are you forbidding me from using 'Heavenly Frost Dragon Slayer' as an ingredient?"

Listening to Agushid's unconditional indulgence of him as always,

Before the preliminary and final rounds of the World's Greatest Chef Tournament in another world begin—

Faced with an inquiry from the most powerful demon race,
Vlamour blinked, his tongue lolling out, and his right hand slowly extended forward:
"No, Agusid..."

What I meant by what I just said was—

"Give me some, I want some too."
