Chapter 40: The role of a head chef (2)

It is does not belong to me. It is translated by KobatoChanDaiSuki

He evaded Kaya's gaze and Jo Minjoon fell in his thoughts. Did Kaya originally become the team leader? At least, it didn't happen in Jo Minjoon's memories.

'Did it change as I came?'

It was understandable. Because the butterfly effect wasn't a word that existed in vain. Saying that history changed because there was one more ball added, wasn't a weird thing to say.

Alan opened his mouth.

"The two team leaders has been selected. Come to the front."

Jacob simpson, and Kaya Lotus. Alan looked at them slowly. And then opened his mouth.

"Are you confident?"
"No."

Kaya didn't hesitate for even a moment and replied. Her eyes that seemed fierce because of her make up, seemed all the more fiercer. If a person that didn't know her saw her, they could think that she was angry, but Jo Minjoon or Chloe knew what kind of person she was as they were always together. That it was a nervous face. Kaya's character was like a porcupine. That the more afraid she was, she acted all the more stronger, she had a bad tendency to act like a villain.

'It would be good if she did something about that character of hers.'

Jo Minjoon felt sorry for Kaya. But of course, it wasn't in a situation where they could relax. Although she was living a peaceful life in Grand Chef's house, her real home was in the ghetto. Reality was still the same. But of course, many things would change after this program ends.

"Before making the teams, first, there would be a survey. Each of the participants would have to stand in front of the team leader you want to team up with."

At those words, everybody glanced at Kaya and Jacob, and started to move their feet slowly. And the results were as expected. There were six people with Jacob, and ten with Kaya. And from those ten there were Jo Minjoon, Chloe, Marco and Anderson. Jo Minjoon looked at Anderson with unexpected eyes. He whispered.

"I didn't know you would come here."

Through the first and second episodes, the image they made Anderson and Kaya have, was that of rivals. At first, they weren't conscious of each other, but could it be called hostility? It was a weird image. That's why it could only be unexpected for Anderson to join Kaya's team. Anderson replied.

"The odds are higher here."

Because it was too honest, Jo Minjoon couldn't find the words to reply back. It was just as he had said. Kaya was a better chef than him, and the skills of the participants were quite good. Because right now, there were Marco and Chloe with their respective level 7 skills. And Jo Minjoon that was known to have an absolute taste.

In the other hand, Jacob Simpson wasn't a participant that particularly got any attention. His character was cool, but the competition wasn't so light as to follow him with just that.

Jo Minjoon looked at Jacob's level.

[Jacob Simpson]
Cooking level: 6
Baking level: 5
Tasting level: 6
Decoration level: 5

It was ordinary overall, and didn't have any special points.

'But it doesn't only require skill to be a head chef.'

Anyways, even Kaya was unable to perfectly take the role as head chef. Maybe, he thought that a person like Jacob, that had a friendly character was more suited to it.

But of course, saying that someone had more advantage wouldn't influence his decision. And the reason he chose Kaya wasn't simply because she stood out more. He was Kaya's fan, and right now, he was her friend. He didn't know how Kaya thought of him, but at least, he thought like that.
