Why Flynn Scifo is so bad at cooking?
"Hello everyone! My name is Estellise Sidos Heurassein and I'll be your moderator this evening.
Today, we welcome our guest, Flynn Scifo, commandant of the Imperial Knight, who accepted to answer some of our questions about his cooking abilities.
Good evening Flynn."
"Good evening Estellise-sama."
"Please, let's drop the formalities for tonight and just call me Estelle."
"I'll try."
"Good. Now, let's return to the topic of this interview : your cooking abilities. Some people have said that your cooking is really awful and that you should stop trying to cook. Is that true?" [Estelle]
"Yeah, but I really don't understand that. When I taste my own cooking, it seems fine to me."
"Indeed, that's what I've heard. By the way, I have also heard that you used to be really good at it when you were younger. Some people in the lower quarter have even said you used to be very talented." [Estelle]
"That's true. Even Yuri, my childhood friend, praised me when I cooked one of my mother's recipe. According to him, it was "wonderful".
"So... What happened then?" [Estelle]
"I really don't know. To me, my cooking hasn't changed. I just add some of my style in it." [Flynn]
"Your... style?"
"Yes. That was Yuri's idea. In a way."
"What do you mean? Yuri asked you to add your "own style" to your cooking?" [Estelle]
"Not exactly. It happens when we were teens. We lived together and loved to cook for the kids of the lower quarters. One day, Yuri baked some really yummy cookies and I asked him about the recipe. That's when he told me he didn't use any and cooked with his "own style", so I wanted to try it too."
"Basically, you wanted to do better than Yuri ?" [Estelle]
"Yes. At this time, we loved to compete over small matters like that. So one week later, I baked my own cookies with my own style. What's strange is that everyone fainted after eating them. Even Yuri said they were inedible, so I had a taste of my own." [Flynn]
"And?"
"And it was delicious! But since that day, nobody seems to like my cooking anymore and I wonder why since it didn't change that much.
By the way, I came up with some cookies today. Would you eat some?" [Flynn]
"It would have been a pleasure but Rita seems to say that our time is over. Thank you for coming Flynn. Good night everyone."
"The pleasure was mine. Estellise-sama."

Omake :
Flynn : Why Estellise-sama has to be the moderator? It was so embarrassing.
Miry : Well... Yuri already knows your history and I thought Estellise was the most curious about your past.
Flynn : Seriously, I would have prefered anyone else.
Miry : Okay. Next time, I'll call Ioder-chan. :D

Thank you for reading this chapter. :) I know that it's a little strange but I tried to write it as if it were an interview but it was quite similar to a chat which is forbidden by the rules. So I used an idea from my kind beta. :)
I hope you liked it (if so, feel free to review ;) ).
By the way, most of this story is true according to the voice novel Danzaisha no Keifu. It's really Yuri's fault if Flynn is so bad at cooking. :D
