[D] Why is cross-entropy increasing with accuracy?

I'm making an implementation of the softmax regression and I'm struggling to understand the nature behind the problem of increasing value of Cross-Entropy **\[1\]**, along with an increasing accuracy (on the "iris" dataset):

This is utmost confusing to me, because there's no class imbalance:

I am not entirely sure whether the **sample size** of N = 112 is at fault. I will appreciate any help on the matter. Thank you in advance.
