"Five minutes remaining!" Ittetsu announces to the remaining competitors, "If you don't want to suffer the penalty in the next round, you'd best hurry up with your dishes and make sure they're edible!"
The remaining competitors panicked at the announcement and rushed their dishes while attempting to make them edible.
StrangeMan and the Broccoli left to go wait with the other winners of this round. Shortly after Nekolian came with a plate of...smoked sausage?
He showed the dish to Ryuta, he had a nervous twitch in his eye.
Ryuta raised an eyebrow as he stared at the large piece of meat.
"It's made of the vegetables I picked up. Don't ask how I did it, I wouldn't know how to answer you." Nekolian told him.
Meanwhile, on the other in Eastern RPM City...
11 minutes before party's death.
"Boy Mr.Bloody, they sure were very close on tagging me. It was fun!" Carramel told the being who resided in her veins, laughing in joy as she sat atop a neon sign hanging on one of the tall buildings.
"
Yes, it truly is fun. As all life should be...but sooner or later, this fun shall stop and be replaced with a new one...understand child?" The Mr.Bloody whispered through the blood vesels in her ear.
"Yeah yeah, but we're gonna play this game for a little longer, right?" She pleaded.
"
Of course! Infact I'm already making new toys to make the game harder for them, and more fun for us! Oh, how I love this body!" It replied gleefully.
They both laughed. Carramel kicked her feet in the air. A shadow appeared on the wall next to her, it had a horribly mishapen form. On what appeared to be his head was the familiar unnatural smile that moved as it cackled. On top of said smile laid an orange dot which represented his eye.
The light of malice glew brightly that day.
