“We will now begin the 1st Ansong Research Institute Cooking Competition!”
Clap, clap, clap.
The sound of applause, not enthusiastic but appropriately loud, fills the conference room.
‘I can’t believe they’re actually doing this.’
Under the guise of being the Princess’s assigned researcher, I was forcibly dragged to the competition even on my day off.
It’s a bit unfair since I’m not even the one cooking.
Е́ ñū m̄ ӓ . id
The conference room was bustling with dozens of people.
“Chief Researcher Hwang Ju-seung of Research Lab 2 and Chief Researcher Kwon Sae-ron of Research Lab 6 will be the judges evaluating the dishes. I am Choi Seong-cheol, the agent in charge of commentary.”

The cooking competition, designed to test the Black Princess’s special abilities and naturally provide her with a Level 4 keycard, has begun.
“This competition is a survival format with a total of 10 participants, from which one final winner will be selected. As it is a small-scale competition, it is expected to conclude within today, so we would appreciate it if those attending would stay until the end.”
Eight participants are gathered on one side of the conference room.
All dressed in white chef uniforms, they are each taking different actions to relieve their tension.

‘Where did the Princess even get that chef outfit?’
I definitely didn’t give her a chef’s outfit, but somehow the Princess was dressed in a pristine white chef’s uniform instead of her usual black dress.
At the research institute, even the clothes the Princess wears are treated as a type of Anomaly.
Could it be that the outfit has a special ability to change its appearance?

The abilities that are newly revealed day by day are giving me a headache.
‘She definitely told me she didn’t have any special abilities…’
W̌еb̄ n оv̀ е̂ l E nû m̈ а̄
When I surveyed the Princess about whether she had any other special abilities, she replied that she had none.
But the more time I spend with her, the more unimaginable and strange abilities keep emerging.
It’s my fault for believing the words of an Anomaly.
“First, let’s start with the introduction of the contestants. There are four contestants who are particularly noteworthy in this competition. The first noteworthy contestant is Ms. Kang Young-ja, the nutritionist who is responsible for the meals of the employees at the Ansong Research Institute!”
“Hoo-hoo-hoo. Nice to meet you.”
The nutritionist, a kind-looking middle-aged woman, waved to the audience.

“The next contestant to be introduced is already a famous figure among the researchers. Mr. Choi Geun-cheol, the special food chef!”
“Nice to meet you. Now that I’ve participated, I will definitely aim for the win.”
A stern-looking middle-aged man confidently stated his ambition.
The special food chef is responsible for cooking the food that will be given to Anomalies.
Anomalies sometimes eat ordinary food that humans can eat, but they also eat food that humans cannot eat, such as rebar and toxic substances.
Therefore, the special food chef must have basic cooking skills and additionally possess various abilities, including knowledge of physics and chemistry.
Е n ũ m̃á._i d
Mr. Choi Geun-cheol, the special food chef, is not only good at cooking but also skilled at handling various tools and experimental equipment, making him a famous figure among the researchers.
“The next participant is a very famous agent among the agents. Agent Jeong Tae-san, who enjoys various bizarre foods, including pizza, chicken, and ramen!”

“Pizza, chicken, and ramen are not bizarre foods! They taste good if you eat them! Anyway, please take care of me in the competition!”
I didn’t know him well, but he seemed to be quite famous among the agents.
Snickers leaked out from various places.
“The next contestant is someone you could call a spy if you don’t know her at the Ansong Research Institute. A famous figure that no employee doesn’t know! The Black Princess!”
Ёn̈ ǔ m a
“Hello. I will definitely win!”
The Princess, wearing a white chef’s uniform, stepped forward and bowed politely.
After that, the introductions of the remaining four contestants were made in order, and the introductions of all eight contestants were completed.
“Now, I will explain the rules of this competition. The name of the rule is ‘Cooking with Random Ingredients.’ The participants will randomly draw the main ingredient for their dish and create a dish based on that ingredient. One contestant will be eliminated in each round, and the contestant who becomes the last one standing will be the final winner.”

Cooking by randomly drawing ingredients.
Since the purpose of this competition is to test the Princess’s special abilities, the ingredients have been manipulated in advance.
W èb n o vе̄l̄ Еn̂_ŭm̈а
The Princess is set to draw only Anomalies as ingredients, while the other participants will draw normal ingredients.
“The eliminated contestant will be decided through discussion by the two judges. However, since there is a large amount of food, we will also be conducting a judging session during the competition in which the audience can participate.”
The audience participation judging is Chief Kwon Sae-ron’s idea.
The purpose was to gather employees who usually feel uncomfortable with the Princess, force them to eat the Princess’s food, and build intimacy with the Princess.
‘As expected of the Chief, she’s completely headstrong.’
When I glanced at the audience seats, I could see the medical team, who had previously said they would never eat the Princess’s food.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The medical team’s faces were pale blue, giving off a ghastly feeling.
The basis for this strange event was the great success of Project Ark.
Project Ark was much more successful than expected, and Chief Kwon Sae-ron’s position has been increasing day by day.
Now, it is no exaggeration to say that Chief Kwon Sae-ron is the most influential person in the research institute.
“I will now announce the prizes. The 3rd place winner will receive a department store gift certificate worth 50,000 won. The 2nd place winner will receive 2 days of paid vacation and a fine dining meal voucher. And the grand prize winner will receive a secret prize personally selected by Chief Kwon Sae-ron.”
Everyone in this place knows that this competition is rigged to make the Princess the 1st place winner.
Ӗn ü m ā
However, the chef who comes in 2nd place will be given 2 days of paid vacation and a fine dining meal voucher as a prize.
In reality, it is a competition where 2nd place is treated as 1st place.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The Princess was informed in advance that the 1st place prize is a keycard.
There is no reason for the Princess to want to receive something like 2 days of paid vacation, so the Princess will unconditionally aim for 1st place.
The other participants are also burning with fighting spirit to obtain 2 days of paid vacation and a fine dining meal voucher.
“Before starting the 1st round, each participant should come forward and draw their ingredients.”
Wе bn о̊ v̀_е l̈ Ё_nu̇m а
The eight participants come forward and turn the handle of a lottery machine-like device.
Since the lottery machine has been manipulated in advance, the Princess drew an Anomaly.
Soon after, all the participants started cooking.
I stare intently at the Princess to understand her special abilities.

‘She’s kind of cute.’
This is the first time I’ve observed the Princess cooking in detail.
Е̃n u m.а . і̃ ď
Watching her struggle with her small hands, I felt a sense of warmth.
Even though what she’s holding in those small hands is an Anomaly.
Fortunately, the Anomaly given in the 1st round looks like an ordinary apple.
Since the judges are the heads of the research institute, the first ingredient was a relatively edible-looking Anomaly.
‘Moreover, it’s a safe Anomaly that doesn’t cause any health problems even if you eat it.’
The Anomaly in question is a secondary Anomaly that comes from the Anomaly nicknamed ‘Not an Apple Tree,’ and its nickname is ‘Not an Apple.’
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It is an Anomaly that looks like an apple that comes from an Anomaly that looks like an apple tree.
However, the taste is not apple but a completely different, absurd taste, such as the taste of tires or the taste of old books.
It feels like jelly beans from a famous wizard novel.
‘By the way, the cooking itself looks ordinary. When does the taste change?’
She was gently tearing the apple-like Anomaly with her hands and cooking it, but the method itself seemed fairly ordinary.
If you cook an Anomaly that already has a taste, can you change the other taste?
Е́ ñ ŭ m̌_a.іd̊
‘The food the Princess cooked tasted similar to its shape. That means the Princess can decide what taste it will have.’
The Anomaly made in the shape of a macaron tasted sweet, similar to a macaron, and the other foods the Princess made had similar shapes and tastes.

‘What is the Princess’s real special ability?’
She can absorb and store something with her mouth, and she can change the taste and shape of other Anomalies.
She also has overwhelming physical abilities and regenerative abilities.
In addition, she seems to be able to change the clothes she is wearing.
Ёn̂ ů m̀а.і d̈
I have never seen an Anomaly with so many different abilities.
‘There must be something that connects all these abilities.’
Other Anomalies have at most one or two special abilities, or several abilities that feel similar.
It is extremely rare for an Anomaly to have several abilities that seem incompatible with each other, like the Princess.

‘It’s possible that the Princess is just an exceptionally strong Anomaly.’
The Princess has already defeated Doctor of Philosophy with her physical abilities.
Е̂ ṅú m̊ а́. і̃ d̈
Instead of worrying about it, it might be better to just think of the Black Princess as an exceptional individual.
“Ah, the Black Princess has rung the bell! The first dish to be completed is the Black Princess’s. We will begin judging immediately!”
While I was lost in thought, the Princess had already finished the dish.
The Princess takes the food to the judges.
‘Oh my god.’
Chief Researcher Hwang Ju-seung of Research Lab 2 couldn’t maintain his composure and slightly frowned.

Chief Kwon Sae-ron opened her mouth relatively calmly.
“What is the name of this dish?”
“It’s grilled sardine pie.”
A sardine pie made of Anomalies, neither grilled nor made with sardines, appeared.
The apple-like Anomaly was carved into the shape of a sardine’s head and protruded out.
