Chapter 407: Kiltina's First Stop
"Oooohhh!! A travel guide?!"
Looking at the map in Kira's hand, golden light suddenly burst out in the eyes of several people.
"Hey, is there a food court?"
"Is there any difference between Kiltina's fish and Ishgar's? I'm looking forward to it!"
"Can you please stop thinking about food? Is there a location of the magic guild Diabolos on the map?"
"Let me see, there should be a place where dragons live up there, right? I want to fight a dragon!"
Kira was immediately surrounded by chattering sounds, and more than a dozen hands squeezed in front of him to compete with each other. Those hands were stained with snack crumbs and full of smell, which made Kira speechless.
"I say, can you guys control yourself and listen to me... Hey, don't rub it on me, this dress is very expensive! You bastards!!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! …
After a few crisp bangs, everyone finally retracted their hands and sat back in their original seats obediently: "Sorry... I'm sorry..."
Kira shook his hands, dumped the snack crumbs on the map into the trash can, and said to everyone, "This is how it is. I only made travel plans. There are places to eat, drink and have fun. Don't worry!"
"The first stop is... Sweet City, which is a well-known food city! And..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Natsu and Gray jumped up with their arms around each other's shoulders, and Happy was flying around in the car: "Ohhh! Delicious food... delicious food...!!"
Erza crossed her arms and frowned seriously: "I say, you guys, your willpower is too weak! How long will it take us to find the dragon?!"
"Besides, Sweet City is holding a competition right now! The first place winner will receive a dessert feast made by the so-called 'No. 1 Pastry Chef' of Kiltina!"
The moment Kira finished speaking, Erza put on her armor and stood up, her whole body full of fighting spirit: "It's decided! Let's take this opportunity to let the name of the 'Fairy Queen' resound throughout Kiltina!"
Are you doing that for fame? I'm embarrassed to point it out to you!
"Haha... I knew it would be like this..."
"After all, she's Erza..."
Kira was not the only one who thought so. The others also showed helpless expressions on their faces. After complaining, they turned around and found that it was not only Erza who was full of fighting spirit, but also Wendy! She was now immersed in the fantasy of the dessert feast, drooling.
"I almost forgot, there's another dessert lover here..."
Two hours later, the car entered the area of Sweet City. Kira and others got off the car and walked into the city.
Perhaps because of the competition, the city was bustling with people. In addition to ordinary people, there were also magicians, treasure hunters, adventurers, and even alchemists coming and going. Compared with the Kingdom of Fiore, which was dedicated to the development of magic, the people here undoubtedly had a more diverse ability system.
“It’s so lively~”
"Lucy, look! The people here are dressed so strangely!"
"You are so rude! Oh, sorry! Wait for me..."
Looking at the tourists walking by, dressed in different styles, Kira had a guess in his mind: "They must have seen the 'contest' in the newspaper and were attracted by the dessert feast from all over the place."
Gray asked, "By the way, what exactly is this 'big competition' you're talking about?"
"Since the reward is a dessert feast, it must be a 'Dessert Eating Contest', right?!" Erza and Wendy were in high spirits, their four eyes staring at the sparkling promotional banners of the contest hanging high on the street.
However, Kira shook his head and denied this statement: "How is it possible? If that's the case, who can eat the 'dessert feast' after the competition?"
Unexpectedly, just after he said this, Erza suddenly sneered: "Hehehe... Did you hear that, Wendy? Now you should know that even Kira doesn't have everything under control!"
"Yeah, Erza-san." Wendy also echoed, putting on the same expression as Erza, "But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, Kira-san isn't a sweets fan, so it's normal that he doesn't know about this."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
The two of them were hugging their chests and sneering smugly. It was like an old driver looking at a novice. Kira was stunned, especially Wendy. Erza was able to show off her elastic chest by doing this. You are doing this pose that is unbearable to watch...
The two of them said loudly at the same time: "It is called a 'sweet feast' because we can still eat more after the 'sweet eating competition'!!!"
An unparalleled aura emanated from the two of them, as if a wave tens of meters high was hitting them head-on, directly washing away Kira and Gray's worldview.
"That makes sense..."
“I can’t refute that at all…”
The two's stunned state did not allow Erza to pause for a moment, and she rushed out immediately : "Anyway, no matter what kind of competition it is, I'll take the grand prize! Wendy, let's go!!"
"yes!"
Wendy responded and followed, so fast that Kira gasped: "Wow, Wendy is so fast... Should I say she is worthy of being the daughter of wind?"
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the competition venue. Erza and Wendy had already stepped onto the stage as challenger number 1635 and challenger number 1636.
After asking the audience around him, Kira learned that the competition would be held for three days, with a new round every day, and the final winner of each round would receive a grand prize.
The first round of the competition requires contestants to identify the raw materials of ten desserts, and only those who reach a certain accuracy rate can enter the next round. Today, the raw materials of more than 200 desserts have been guessed.
"What??! Two hundred kinds?!"
After hearing the rules, Kira was dumbfounded and muttered, " The total number is less than half of this... How many desserts do I need to prepare..."
You know, in this kind of competition, once the raw materials of a dessert are guessed by the challenger, it will definitely not be used as a subsequent test question. In other words, for this level alone, the competition must have enough types of desserts.
"But this shouldn't be a problem for Erza and the others."
As expected, Erza and Wendy were seen standing confidently at the challenge seat, quickly taking a bite of the dessert that their assistant placed in front of them, and then directly saying the raw materials as if they were scripted.
"Flour, sugar, eggs..."
"Milk, strawberries, condensed milk..."
The whole process went smoothly, as if it had been rehearsed countless times, and the crowds watching around were astonished.
"These two girls are amazing! They have tried 5 types so far, and not a single one of them was wrong!"
"Red hair is so handsome! Twin tails are so cute!"
“It feels like a seasoned gourmet!”
In less than three minutes, two voices sounded at the same time.
"Ms. Erza Shukleto, I got ten points on the first level, and I cleared it!"
"Ms. Wendy Mabel, ten points on the first level, cleared!"
Looking at the two smiling figures on the stage, Gray was also silently happy for them: "They are really worthy of being Erza and Wendy! Right, Ki..."
Gray looked back, only to find that Kira, who had been standing next to him, had disappeared at some point.
"Huh?! Where are the Kiras? And Natsu, Lucy, and Happy, when did these guys disappear?!"
Just as I was wondering, a familiar voice came from not far away.
"Don't worry, little brother! This is the number one prank toy in Ishgar. It will definitely make you the king of children in this city!"
Gray looked over and saw Kira talking to a fat boy with snot hanging from his nose.
"Okay! It's just 10,000 J, I'll buy it!" The little boy sucked his snot back hard, handed the money in his hand to Kira stupidly, and took the toy box back.
Kira smiled brightly, "Thanks for your patronage! Have fun!!"
"What are you doing??!!!"
