The Abnormal Pack stood in awe as they arrived at Siren Island. The beach stretched before them like a canvas painted with hues of serenity and calmness- a rare thing in the Demon World. The perfectly clean shoreline, untouched by the chaos of the Demon World, seemed like a haven untouched by the conflicts that had plagued their lives. Each member of the Abnormal Pack, from the mischievous Lied to the stoic Soi, took in the breathtaking scenery with wide eyes. Goemon, known for his composed demeanor, couldn't help but crack a rare smile at the sheer beauty that surrounded them. Picero, the reserved member of the group, found himself captivated by the tranquil atmosphere.

Kerori found solace in the rhythmic sound of the waves. The ebb and flow seemed to echo a sense of calm that she hadn't experienced in a long time. Schneider, Sabro, and Elizabetta exchanged glances, a silent acknowledgment of the reprieve this island offered. However, it was Iruma who stood at the forefront of the group, his eyes wide with wonder. The demonic beach, with its purple-hued water and pristine sands, was a sight unlike anything he had ever seen. The colors seemed to dance in the sunlight, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that left Iruma breathless.

"I never imagined a demonic beach could be so beautiful," Iruma whispered, his voice filled with genuine awe. The contrast between the chaos of their daily lives and the tranquility of Siren Island was like a balm to his soul.

Clara, always one to embrace excitement, twirled around in the sand, her eyes sparkling with delight. "This is amazing! I can already feel the stress melting away!"

However, before they could start enjoying the beach fully, they all froze and turned towards Opera in trepidation. The Abnormal Pack castedd wary glances toward their guardians, Kalego and Opera. Their skepticism was palpable, fueled by the fear that this serene vacation might transform into yet another one of their teachers' notorious training exercises or, worse, a scheme for one of Opera's "crazy" ideas. Alice, usually the picture of composure, raised an eyebrow as he eyed Kalego and Opera suspiciously. Sabro crossed his arms, ready for whatever challenge might come their way. Clara, sensing the tension, flashed a mischievous grin, already plotting the potential chaos that might ensue.

The Abnormal Pack had been through enough unexpected events at Babyls to develop a healthy dose of skepticism, especially when it came to the intentions of their teachers. However, Opera, with his characteristic flair for the dramatic, took a step forward, breaking the apprehensive silence.

"Children, fear not! Today, we're not here for training or any grand schemes," Opera announced, a twinkle in his eye. "We're here for a good time, and what better way to enjoy this beautiful island than with a friendly competition?"

The Abnormal Pack exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of what kind of "friendly competition" Opera had in mind. Kalego, on the other hand, felt a bead of sweat forming on his temple, suspecting that this seemingly tranquil moment was merely the calm before the storm.

Opera's eyes gleamed with mischief as he continued, "I propose a cook-off! Okonomiyaki, to be precise. A battle of culinary prowess between me, the master of the unexpected, and Kalego, the stern guardian of discipline!"

Kalego's eyes narrowed at the challenge, a mixture of irritation and reluctant amusement flickering in his gaze. The Abnormal Pack, however, burst into laughter at the absurdity of the situation. The prospect of their strict and disciplined teacher engaging in a cooking competition with the unpredictable Opera was too amusing to ignore.

Seeing the Abnormal Pack's laughter, Kalego sighed, realizing that the gravity of the situation might not be fully understood by his students. However, with a resigned shake of his head, he accepted the challenge. "Fine, Opera. A cook-off it is. But let me make it clear – no theatrics or tricks. We're here to enjoy a peaceful vacation, not entertain your whims."
