After bringing Esfe to the Gluttony Section, Elena did not waste any more time and immediately went to the sixth place where a king of Flavours was operating. This king of Flavours did not ran a regular restaurent and instead ran a buffet style food house. The name of this place was "King's Favourite".

As Elena appeared in front of the King's Favourite, the people who were at the door became surprised. Even though Elena was away from the gluttony section for some time, her fame had not gone down at all. Instead it had actually increased by quite a bit.

So after some surprised, people immediately recognised Elena as the newest Gourmet Tycoon. Soon after that, she was given the same royal treatment that she had received in other places.

Even though Elena was eligible to skip the trial of the King of Flavours, that was not the case of Esfe. Only the Gourmet Tycoons themselves enjoyed this privilege. Their companions were not eligible for it. To get this privilege, one needed to earn it in the gluttony section.

Obviously Elena again decided to take the trial here alongside Esfe. Esfe's chance of passing the trial was not very high. But still Esfe wanted to give it a try and stay together with her big sis Elena for as long as possible.

...

The trial of the King's Favourite was very straightforward. There would be 20 types of dishes presented in front of the participants. For all 20 of them, there would be good food mixed with bad and mediocre ones. The participants needed to use their tongue, nose and eyes to find out only the perfect parts from all the dishes but without completely eating them.

This test sounded easy but it was actually quite hard. One might think that someone would be able to pass it easily by trying a little bit from all the pieces of foods but that was almost impossible because of the existence of the trick pieces.

The chef had made sure that for some of the pieces, one part of it would be perfect but the other part would be bad. So brute forcing this trial was very hard. Only with proper experience one would be able to pass it.

Just as two tables filled with food was being brought by the waiters, suddenly a man wearing a luxurious looking purple dress appeared in the large room where the trial was taking place. This man was not only wearing a gaudy bright purple dress, he also had multiple accessories on his body made from gold and gems. He was a super tall person but he was also super fat at the same time.

As soon as he appeared, the crowd became very excited. The reason for that was simple. This gaudy man was actually another Gourmet Tycoon and was also quite infamous for being too prideful. Even if his gluttony was not abnormal, he would not have faced any trouble in joining the Ruler Assembly with his sin of pride.

Elena was more curious about the foods than this man but as he was also a fellow food enthusiast, Elena was still a little interested in him. So when this man came before her, she politely introduced herself and greeted him.

But what answered Elena's politeness was rude remarks. The purple dressed man started accusing Elena for being selected as a Gourmet Tycoon just because of her looks and nothing else. According to him the stupid public had given her more attention than what she had deserved. From how he sounded, it looked like he was very offended by Elena's presence.

Normally, this kind of things were not a big deal to Elena. She had seen many petty individuals in life and not all of them were bad. So if someone was not actively trying to harm her or anyone else, then Elena did not really care about a bit of jealously directed at herself.

Even before EARTH's destruction, with Elena's exceptional beauty and intelligence, she had always been the target of others jealously. But Elena had never minded that or have felt superior because of this. And that was the case when she was just a little child. So now that she was an experienced adult, something like this was even more unimportant to her.

But due to his jealousy, this man, whose name was Tomna was getting in the way of Elena's fun eating time. That was definitely making her quite a bit angry. From the conversation of the people around them, Elena also came to know the reason for this man's intense envy toward her.

It turned out that he had actually tried to become a Gourmet Tycoon by majority support. But he had failed in this endeavour. That was why he was extremely unwilling to believe that something that he could not achieve could be achieved so easily by someone else.

This reason was so stupid that Elena did not even feel like telling anything to him. So just as she was about to threw this tantrum throwing man out and start with her fun food tasting trial, an old gentleman with a chef's dress appeared in the trial room.

This man was none other than Jobriel Susana, the king of Flavours running this food house. Before Elena could make a move, he came between both of them and proposed a solution to resolve this problem.

His solution was very simple. As Tomna was accusing Elena of being not good enough for the title of the Gourmet Tycoon, according to the chef, they should have a competition. Through that it would become clear if Elena was worthy of her position of the Gourmet Tycoon or not.

Elena had no reason to agree to a stupid competition like this but as the people started to cheer after hearing this and Elena was getting pleading looks from both Esfe and the chef, she finally decided to agree to it. The only thing Elena was currently interested in was eating and she would be able to eat during the competition. So Elena did not mind it that much.

...

As soon as the news of this competition spread, many people started to gather in the King's Favourite to witness it. A duel between two Gourmet Tycoons was a legendary event in the gluttony section. As for the topic of their competition, it would be the trial of the King's Favourite food house.

Among Elena and Tomna, the one who would be able to find more perfect dishes would be the winner. As for the judge of this sudden competition, the king of Flavours, Jobriel took that responsibility. He also took an oath to the Goddess of Absolute Evil to be completely unbiased in this competition.

So what would be the result of this competition ? Would Elena be able to defeat a fellow food enthusiast ?
