[quote]"Hey! No tasting until the contest's done!" Nero angrily called out from his station. "Hahaha! I'm just messing with you. But seriously though, let's not be unfair to the rest of the audience and let's try all of these at the same time. Alright?"[/quote]

[color=a187be]"Tch....Fine, we'll wait."[/color], Kira pouted as she sat back in her seat. Thankfully, she didn't have to wait long. Soon enough, the time ran out and Yang, along with the other contestants, began serving their meals out to the audience, which the announcer declared that the winner of the cooking contest would be determined by which dish the crowd liked best. Then, and only then, did the audience got the go ahead to dig in, to which Kira happily obliged.

The first dish was the blonde man's meat dish: [i][color=a187be]Mmmmm, so juicy. So savory. And so tender it almost melts in your mouth. This guy knows how to handle his meat!.....Hehehe.[/color][/i]

Next, came the Ushi-Oni's 'sushi' dish: [i][color=a187be]Huh, never had this one before either. The appearance is certainly something. Rice, salmon, sauce and a bit of vegetable all wrapped in what looks like seaweed. The texture is unique and I don't know how I feel about it be served cold, but the taste certainly ain't bad. And all of this was made by an USHI-ONI. Who taught her how to cook, an Inari? Pffft, yeah, right. Could you imagine?[/color][/i]

Then came the Kikimora's homemade dish: [color=a187be][i]It's good. Really good, actually. It's just....I could go to my parents back home and almost get the exact same dish. It's something I've had before, so it's not anything too impressive.[/i][/color]

Finally, Yang's 'ramen' bowl, which Kira was saving for last. And her thoughts on it were...

[color=a187be][i]Oh my gods....OH MY GODS! Where has this food been all my life!? The smell! The texture! The flavors! It all comes together to create this wonderous culinary masterpiece! Who'd ever thought soup could be this good!? We have a winner![/i][/color]

[color=a187be]"Aaaahhh....Yang! Hands down!"[/color], exclaimed Kira, saying as much after she had finished eating(and drinking) Yang's dish. Most of the audience were in agreement with the flygirl and with that, the busty monk was declared the winner.

Well....all except for one.

[quote]"You cheated, you monk!" The Ushi-Oni exclaimed. "You won because no one here has tried ramen before! They liked your dish because it was new and exotic!" She accused.[/quote]

[color=a187be]"That....doesn't make much sense. How is serving something no one here has tried before considered cheating? Plus, you brought something new to the table too."[/color], the Beelzebub stated with a raised eyebrow. The blonde haired man, going by Nero apparently, said just as much.

[quote]"Your dish's pretty exotic too, you know? What's sushi anyway?" Nero interjected.

"Yeah, well, hers is exotic-er." The Ushi-Oni retorted. "Regardless, she has cheated and I will bring her to justice!" She declared before leaping high into the air and landing in front of Yang. The ferocious Ushi-Oni was ready to tear the blonde monk to pieces.[/quote]

[color=a187be][i]Oh, shit![/i][/color], Kira thought to herself, shocked over how quickly the situation escalated. Ada seemed to have had a similar thought process because she quickly went to Yang's side, hissing and baring her teeth at the Ushi-Oni. The flygirl followed suit, swiftly buzzing over and placing herself between the monstrous spider mamono and the monk. 

[color=a187be]"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down and actually think about this!"[/color], Kira yelled, trying to play mediator. [color=a187be]"You're getting riled up over losing a [i]cooking contest![/i] Don't you think that seems a tad silly!?"[/color]
