章節 91: Preliminary Round
The sun was setting when the rats finally were done with Mira. She could feel the wind touch her skin. Her cloths being torn into pieces, she tried to stand up again, however felt pain on her body. Not only was she violated, they even tortured her.
Getting back on her feet, Mira picked up some of the cloth pieces and tried to cover herself as much as possible. The only worry on her mind at the moment was concerning the ingredients. "I hope nothing happened to the ingredients and they are still usable." Mira thought.
Walking over to the ingredients that were scattered on the ground, she picked up everything with care. She felt worried as she was picking them up, hoping that nothing had happened. To her relief, the ingredients didn't have any major problems and were still usable.
Relieved, she made her way back to her home. Trying to forget the moment that she got assaulted. If she would be able to get some recognition from the competition, she was certain that the rats would leave her alone. Or at least not dare to act such vial again.
On the road, Mira noticed that some passerby looked at her with pity. Her cloths were all torn apart and barely holding. People did not want to get themselves involved with her problem and therefore tried to avoid having eye contact. However, Mira did notice a few who looked at her with pity.
She had to stay strong and prove to everyone that she would be the one winning the contest.
…
Finally arriving back home, she opened up the door with care. As soon as the door opened, she heard a voice call out, "Where have you been? I was worried about you!"
It was her mother who called out. Stepping into the house, she heard her mother gasp in shock. The weak body rushed over to Mira as she inspected her before giving her a hug, "Who did this? Did they hurt you?"
Mira decided to ignore these questions and pulled out a bag with the ingredients in it, "Don't worry about that. I have got everything you asked for. Now we can finally make something to impress the judges."
Wanting to ask more about what happened, Mira's mother opened her mouth again, however seeing the flames burning in the eyes of Mira, she decided to hold back and hugged her one more time before releasing her. Standing up, she made her way to the kitchen table and signed to Mira to come over and put the ingredients on the table.
After Mira took out all the ingredients, Mira's mother inspected them all, before nodding in satisfaction. There were enough ingredients to make at least 3 different deserts. That would definitely be enough to improve Mira's skills and also make something that would be satisfying.
"The ingredients look good. With this, we will have multiple options and tries to make something for the jury." She said as she looked at Mira with satisfaction.
Hearing those words, Mira forgot all the worries she felt from what happened a few hours back and concentrated back at the task at hand.
…
That night, the two of them made several different deserts. In order to also improve Mira's skills, Mira's mother decided to use even less ingredients for every pastry. The moment she stopped explaining how to make the deserts, Mira fell into some difficulties. Those times, the tastes and result were awful. However with the trial and errors, she finally got the gist of it and was able to produce something satisfactory.
"Now, this will be the final piece that we are going to make." Mira's mother said as she looked over at the tired girl in front of her. "Now it is time for you to show me what you have learned and make something all on your own. I do not want to be the one that makes the in the competition that you will participate in. therefore, it is all up to you to make it through the preliminary round."
Saying those words, Mira's mother took a step back and gave Mira the space to work on her final product. She would be a spectator to the processes that Mira took, however decided not to involve herself at all.
Walking forward, Mira took a look at the ingredients that were in front of her. She remembered all the lessons that her mother told her. "It is important to know what you have in order to know what you can make." With that she started to organize everything in front of her. After deciding what to make, she started to work on her final product.
…
Walking into The Harvesting Bed, Mira had a dish in her hands. Her mother thought that it was a good idea to cover it, in order to have a certain excitement being built up. The movement that Mira had was a bit stiff, as she was quite nervous. Not sure what the jury would think about her product, she moved unsure.
Having made a few steps into the inn, she heard a voice call out, "Welcome to The Harvesting Bed, how can I be off service?"
Looking over, Mira saw a mid-aged woman talk to her. Scared about being scold, she replied shyly, "I came here to present my product for the preliminary round for the cooking contest."

gsemre Hello Everyone
As we are getting closer to chapter 100, I want to write a special chapter
For this I was thinking of making an "interactive" chapter
-The idea-
I will incorporate as much words as possible from the comments. Starting from chapter 89 till chapter 95
Example, if someone says "Black bird", I will try to add that into the story... maybe they see a black bird
--Note--
To prevent 1 person filling in the whole chapter, I will take 1 comment per user (per chapter)
