The Misfit of Demon King Academy (WN)-Chapter 42.1

We all gather in the kitchen while dinners being made.

“I’m sorry for asking you to help me. You must be tired from the exam but the store was very busy today so I didn’t have time to prepare dinner.”

My mothers preparing mushroom gratin while speaking.

“Don’t worry about it. Your food is always a feast.”

“Cooking’s fun”

Misha’s washing a large quantity of mushrooms and then Sasha is cutting them into bite-sized chunks.

“Alright. I’ve washed all the vegetables. Do you want me to start on the potatoes?”

I put the potatoes that my dad had washed in a bowl and carried them over.

“Because its curry just peel them and cut them into bite-sized chunks.”

“There’s quite a few. Should I help you? Ah, there’s only one knife though……..” Misa says.

“Oops, is that so? There’s one in the workshop though. I made it for a customer but he never came for it.”

“It’s okay. Can you lend me your kitchen knife?”

Ray stops my father and borrows his kitchen knife before grabbing the bowl of potatoes and throwing them into the air.

“……Fuu………..!”

Rays hand glittered and the skins from the large amount of the potatoes instantly peeled off before the peeled potatoes fell back down into the cooking pot while the skins landed back in the bowl.

“Fumu. Not bad Ray. Shall the next bout be with the carrots?”

I point to the bowl I was carrying which was full of carrots.

“How about we see who can peel more carrots?”

“Fine.”

Misa who was listening in smiled wryly.

“There’s still only one knife.”

“This is enough.”

I picked up a peeler.

“I think you might regret it.”

“Shall we start?”

Mine and Rays glances connected and sparks scattered.

With a signal, I scattered the carrots in the air.

“…….Here……!”

“Naive”

The knife and peeler flash and in the next instant all the peeled carrots fall onto nearby plates.

“Misa. The count.”

“Errm let’s see. Arnos-sama has…….ten. Ray-san has……10. It’s a draw.”

Ray flashes his refreshing smile and holds his plate full of carrots out to Misa.

“Look closely.”

Misa stares at the carrots.

“…..Ooh!”

She raises her voice and touches the carrots which promptly fall apart.

At first glance, the carrots just looked peeled but they were also chopped into bite-sized pieces. All ten of them.

“They’ve……..been cut into heart shapes as well…….”

Misa louts out a surprised voice. Instantly peeling, cutting and carving carrots in bite-sized chunks while in the air is not an ordinary skill.

“How about mine?”

I offered the smiling Ray my plate of carrots. His smile said he thought he’d won.

“……..They’re……..star-shaped……”

Yes, all the carrots I’d peeled were cut into star shapes.
