Ball of Nothing

Chapter 30 Mega Gourme

Both their jaws hung wide open. They didn’t look very much like goddesses now. Then again, perhaps I overdid it?

After ten slices of brownies and several dozen cups of tea, they decided to borrow a set of clothes from Grem to take me out to eat. Jeremy suggested going to the main plaza as they were hosting the annual ’Mega Gourmet’ competition. Anyone was free to participate. There were a hundred different meals prepared for each participant. Naturally, it was impossible for anyone to finish all hundred meals. Not even the mightiest of species like dragons managed to complete the full course. The highest record was forty seven meals but most participants drop out during the twelfth round or so.

Unfortunately, the prize wasn’t very attractive for such a huge event. It was a free pass that allowed the winner to dine at any restaurant or cafe in La Boutique for a year. There wasn’t a limit to how much one could eat either. After hearing this from Jeremy, Sedna and Freya’s eyes lit up. They quickly made arrangements to register me for the competition.

I have completely no idea why they decided to do this so suddenly but I guess it was better than waiting in the room with nothing else to do. I’d examined everything there with Mind’s Eye and wasting time was the last I wanted to do in a place as interesting as La Boutique.

In any case, I quickly discovered that the plaza was a huge space. Many beings convened here for events. Although the plaza was a large space, the people who came were plenty. I couldn’t see the stage clearly from where I was, much less walk over but luckily, Freya flew us over.

"Greetings goddesses! How can I help you today?"

The being who spoke wore a green cloak and had a glowing orange fruit for his head. It was a strange creature and I examined it with Mind’s Eye.

[Halloween Mascot] Jack Lantern

Race: Will-o-the-wisp

Age: About 2,000 years old

Skills: Intimidation, Soul Guide, Expert Emcee, Master Entertainer

Others: Fame +50

Whoa! Two thousand years old and he has something special called Fame? That’s not a low level fame either... Who is Jack Lantern? He seemed to know the goddesses too!

"Eh? You’re helping little one here to register? I’m afraid I need to caution you as a friend that this is a harsh competition. Little one might not make it past the first course."

Freya grinned. "It’s alright, Jack! He may be little but you shouldn’t underestimate him. Isn’t that right, Zero?"

I beamed. Oh well. Since things have progressed to this extent, might as well take the chance to experience the food humans make. Wait, I forgot. Sedna explained that only the best dishes in the multiverse will be served. Not all of them were made by humans. However, they were definitely the best of its kind.

Now that I think about it, it’s a good opportunity to examine everything with Mind’s Eye. Who knows what special effects some of these food can give me!
