"He broke Dark Queen's mask!"

"Get that kid away from her!"

"He's going to get killed!"

Everyone was panicking, would the rumored short tempered Queen kill the year old toddler for breaking her mask?

Because of the noise, this made the toddler cry. You immediately shot everyone a glare keeping their mouths shut and held your mask to prevent it from being taken away by the toddler.

"Hush now little brat, you shouldn't cry without any logical reasons." She said making everyone white as sheet.

'T-That's her way of comforting a child?!'

 

But as if the toddler favors you more, he immediately stopped crying and snuggled closer to you. "Wuv Mama." The toddler said and held the ribbon of your fox mask tighter as he sucked on his thumb.

'What the fuck, he actually stopped crying?!'

'More importantly, just a few tug and (L/N)-sama's mask will fall!'

 

"Look down if you all value your lives!" a noir yelled while avoiding your deadly gaze. On cue, all of them bowed in unison except for Takumi of course.

"Well? Did anyone get what I'm trying to say?" you asked now looking at the participants who were pale as ghost.

"Y-Yes (L/N)-sama." they replied in unison making you smile.

"Great... I'll be giving you an hour and 50 minutes to finish your task. And 5 minutes to gather informations about these babies." you stated making them thank you and rushing to a tent where the mothers of the babies' were. Takumi was left in silence as he stood firmly thinking about the theme.

"Good luck!" you said when you approached him. "I guarantee your win!" you added making the blonde blush. "See ya~ Papa Takumi." you added pinching his cheeks before sneakily running away.

"P-Papa?!" Takumi asked now with red flaring cheeks.

'Did she perhaps saw me daydreaming a while ago?!'

Everyone was surprised seeing you wearing an entirely different mask, nevertheless they paid no attention to it and focused on the task at hand.

"The theme will be a meal that pet owners and pet could both enjoy." you stated.

"(L/N)-sama, a moment please." a cautious girl said raising her hand up making you smile at her.

"Yes Milady?" you asked gesturing for her to talk.

"Does that mean making two different dishes? I mean, one for the pet owner and one for the pet?" she asked grimacing a bit. This made one of the pet owners angry.

"Are you perhaps saying that my sweet little baby cannot eat food like mine and vice versa? That is insulting! (L/N)-sama, please teach this chef the righ-" the pet owner growled. You raised your hand to stop her from talking. You then looked at the agent beside you and nodded.

"This is the last time and I will repeat (L/N)-sama's words, produce a dish that will satisfy the judges then you'll pass. A meal can consist two or more different dishes, as long as both the pet and the owner enjoyed it; you'll pass. Within 1 hour and 40 minutes, you must present the dish and within 5 minutes gather information."

 

"Thank you for clearing the misunderstanding (L/N)-sama." one of the participants said as you nodded at her.

You were about to look at the ingredients but saw Megumi getting pushed out while trying to interview the pet owners. "Do your best Megu-chan." you replied supporting her back to help her stand up.

"O-Oh, thank you very much (Y/N)-chan." Megumi replied relaxing under your touch.

"No problem!" you beamed before getting called to the last exam.

"Queen... All in all we need to make a dish that'll satisfy these pregnant ladies?" a girl asked making you nod your head.

"Ah~ I'm so grateful you all understood that in a flash. Explaining is really tiring." you replied sitting on a couch beside the pregnant ladies.

"Rest assured (L/N)-sama, we'll do our best!"

"Yes! So we can pass through the first ga-"

"Ugh! Stop being so noisy!"

"What's that smell?"

"Get that away from me!"

The pregnant ladies yelled at the participants.

All of them sweat-dropped, knowing how picky pregnant ladies were. They still had 5 minutes left to interview the judges plus an hour and 25 minutes left to cook. The participants of the D group wasted no time as Hayama was left standing by the counters carefully analyzing each spices.

"You look tired (Y/N)-chan, why don't you take a rest?" Hayama asked as he approached you.

You grinned at him under your mask before ushering the agent to guide the participants. "I'll make sure to do that, I'll be waiting in the second gate for all of you." you replied as Hayama nodded patting your head and softly messing you hair at the process.

"Hey! It took me a lot of energy to do my hair!" you squeak backing away from Hayama making him chuckle before telling the agents to take you away. "Good luck Akira-kun!" was all you could tell him while being dragged away.

"Yeah... I'll win for you." Hayama mumbled knowing you won't hear what he said.
