Chapter 75

"......Well, everyone probably finds it troublesome to make something......and it's quite a task......how about I make some kind of reward?"

As a substitute for not participating myself......I suggest something everyone can enjoy. It might boost everyone's motivation, you know.

"What!? A reward!!"

As expected, or rather, as usual, Monica was the first to jump at the idea.

"By the way, can Monica even use a knife?"

I included her in the count, but I forgot to confirm this fundamental point. I don't think she can, but will she be okay?

"I've never pointed it at anyone, you know?"

"......"

Everyone, not just Rina, was speechless at that.

Of course, that's obvious!!

......This girl is hopeless.

Only someone who would give such an answer is no good.

"Rina... Asking her was a mistake from the start."

Prince Egilus said with a grim face. He, too, didn't think Monica could use a knife.

"......Sigh......Can Rana use one, at least?"

Just to be sure... I'll ask just to be sure. Just because someone is married doesn't mean they can use a knife; it varies from household to household.

"......H......"

"......Huh?"

"I've never pointed it at anyone, you know?"

"......"

You too...!!

"I can use one... okay?"

Her husband, Chef Rick, tried to cover for her.

"Well, what should we do with these two who are out of the question?"

We were planning to split into six groups and compete, but this is a setback. I didn't expect Rana couldn't use a knife either... this was completely unforeseen.

"......Crush it?"

She raised her fist slightly.

"......Huh? Crush what?"

"The onion......"

......Huh? Why? It's scary......

Monica, eager for the reward, started saying strange things. The idea of crushing an onion instead of slicing it is terrifying. Why can't she at least try to chop it into pieces? There's a limit to brute force.

......By the way, can you even crush an onion!?
