“Congratulations, to Emilia Helt, to winning the annual Cooking Empire Competition!”

In a grand hall that was brightly lighten and lavishly decorated, a man on a circle stage with a large smile announced loudly. Beside him was a pedestal with a golden trophy resting upon it. If you were to move your gaze lightly to the right, a young girl stood there waving.

The young girl was donned in a pure white chef’s uniform. She was on the short side and had golden mid-length hair that was relatively straight. Wearing a joyous grin, she turned in all directions waving to the crowd in all directions that cheered and clapped in glee.

As the applause died down, the announcer approached Emilia and raised his cue card.

“Well Emilia, how glad are you to win this competition. Furthermore, win at the young age of 19!”

Emilia grinned.

“Of course I’m happy. The competition was fun! Furthermore, the award is tremendous for someone like me!”

“Haha! You really wanted that first class equipment then I suppose. You even turned down being trained by some of the most prestigious chefs”

Emilia glanced back and forth in excitement.

“The V7 Vinery Appliances are top notch. Decked out with the most accurate temperature settings. Efficient energy usage… Furthermore… easy to clean…”

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

A dreamy expression over took her, and it almost seemed like a bit of drool came out.

The announcer chuckled. Youngsters were quite strange these days.

“It seems like we’re not even doing the advertising anymore young lady. I suppose I can leave that to you. Is this really what young kids like you are into nowadays?”

“Hmmm? Ah. Umm… I wouldn’t call it strange… but I wouldn’t call it normal… Eh, either way I still want it. I’ll be able to get rid of my old appliances at home. The stove will finally work properly… And I’ll be able to make all that stuff that wouldn’t work with my off temperature oven.”

“Looks like you really love cooking.”

“Of course!”

Hello! I go by the internet name of Kyoko Usagi. You can just call me bunny.

So this story was heavily inspired by a story that I have been translating as of the past few months. The plot, characters, and setting are completely different, but the main topic centering around cuisine made this story pop up into my mind.

This may just seem like a fantasy story, but I do actually plan to include real methods of harvesting certain ingredients, and actual cooking recipies and etcetera. I don't know if it's possible yet, but I'll give it a shot. 

I don't have any set chapter release schedule, but I know that they should be relatively short. I write far faster then I translate, however, I spend most of my time on rl or translating, so I can't guarentee anything here. Especially since my plans for this novel require it to be pretty research heavy, haha. Also, my grammar is... well... not the best... So if you could kindly point out any errors, that would be heavily appreciated ^^

Thanks for reading the prologue. I hope you tune in for the next chapter!
