And… twenty minutes later…

“Performed! What do you assume?”

“It’s atypical Kaarage.”

“Yeah, it’s fried correctly.”

“I-It’s actually accomplished..”

It turned out to be just a few atypical fried hen.

I used to be known as in to check the dish for poison, so in fact I ate it first.

“…..Yeah, It’s good.”

“YOSHAAAA!”

This time, it wasn’t misshapen or burnt or just like the hamburg steak, and it was only a easy scrumptious piece of fried hen.

Eh? Actually?

Fujise, who was solely capable of make darkish matter within the manga, really is ready to cook dinner by herself now?

“It didn’t make any sense that she might even make darkish matter within the first place, so that is regular.”

“Sure it’s. Quite, It’s a thriller as to why it even seems so unhealthy.”

“I-It actually is completed. ”

Tojoin-san and Rinke had been additionally shocked to see that it tasted like regular.

However Sei-chan was performing a bit of unusual.

“What sort of nonsense have I been going via then…?”

Sei-chan muttered in a small voice.

It was a murmur that wasn’t supposed for anybody else to listen to, however I heard it since I used to be proper subsequent to her.

Sei-chan, who had been doing her greatest to show Fujise, felt that each one her effort was all for nothing and have become depressed. 

From Sei-chan’s perspective, she, who had helped Fujise cook dinner a number of occasions, didn’t know that each one she needed to do was a quite simple methodology of creating her take a look at the recipe and observe it step-by-step.

The truth that she didn’t understand she might have used this methodology should have been a shock to her well being.

“How was it Sei-chan?”

“A-Ahh, Yeah. It was scrumptious, Shiho.”

Sei-chan stated with a smile on her face, however appeared a bit compelled if I’m sincere.

“I might solely do all of it because of you Sei-chan! It was as a result of Sei-chan taught me that I might lastly do it.”

“No, no, it’s all as a result of Shiho labored so exhausting, I hardly did something in any respect.”

“Sei-chan, what’s improper?”

“Hmm? What?”

“No, I imply, you appeared kinda depressed.”

Even when Sei-chan tried to cover from us, Fujise would nonetheless discover.

“I’m not depressed in any respect. Shiho. It’s good, now you may make lunch for Shigemoto with no issues.”

“E-Eh, yeah thanks.”

Fujise appears to have seen as nicely, and is frightened about Sei-chan too.

“Why don’t you make some egg rolls subsequent time? They’re usually included as a facet dish in lunch bins, and I feel they’d be actually good.”

“Y-Yeah, I assume so. It’s actually scrumptious.”

“Why don’t you strive egg rolled soup too? It is likely to be a bit of tough although.”

I’m undecided if Rinke is conscious of her temper although since she hasn’t concerned herself a lot with Sei-chan but.

They’ve solely met a few occasions and that’s once we went to high school collectively.

“I want I had a particular frying pan for frying eggs, however I ponder if Fujise-san has this pan at dwelling.”

“Ah, I feel I noticed it earlier than…”

“It’s a bit of simpler to make with this. Let’s apply for now. I’ll need to lookup the recipe first.”

Then, they began to cook dinner once more.

Sei-chan additionally tried to look at over her once more from close by, however Tojoin-san spoke as if she had an thought.

“Shimada-san, there’s in all probability a bento field within the subsequent room, are you able to get it for me actual fast? I’m making lunch at the moment, so it will be simpler to have it in a lunch field.”

“Yeah, certain. It’s the room subsequent to right here, proper?”

“Sure, it’s the preparation room that shops all of the utensils inside. It’s in a excessive place, so that you would possibly want somebody’s assist.”

I used to be about to ask why don’t I simply go myself?

However the thought was withdrawn after seeing Tojoin-san’s face.

Tojoin-san appeared to look at me with eyes that appear to be telling me one thing.

Apparently she seen that one thing was improper with Sei-chan too.

So I assume she needs me to have a chat with Sei-chan alone.

Surprisingly, Tojoin-san is fairly perceptive of individuals.

No, perhaps it’s as a result of it’s Sei-chan, the individual she misplaced to for the primary time in her life. That’s why she might instantly inform that one thing was improper.

“Acquired it, let’s go Sei-chan.”

Using on Tojoin-san’s kindness, I left the Kitchen with Sei-chan.

[ED: Cheerful Transition line here!]

I left the kitchen and went to the room subsequent to it.

Just like the kitchen, it was a really giant room. However it didn’t really feel as spacious attributable to all of the stuff positioned right here.

Because it was a preparation room, there was a wide range of cooking utensils and huge tools positioned in right here.

It was in all probability one thing that belonged to the kitchen however was moved right here due to at the moment.

There’s a bento field someplace in right here. Or so I used to be instructed, the place is it?

I really feel prefer it’s inconceivable to seek out it on this giant room.

“Do I’ve to search for the bento field in right here? Tojoin might have at the very least instructed me the place it was.”

“Yeah, It’s going to be powerful on the lookout for it right here.”

Perhaps Tojoin-san doesn’t need us to seek out it in spite of everything.

Properly, that’s not what we actually got here right here for anyhow.

“Properly, if we are able to’t discover it after a short time, we are able to go and ask Tojoin-san about it.”

“Sei-chan.”

“Hmm? What’s up?”

“You appear depressed… Are you okay?”

“…!”

I actually wished to phrase that sentence higher, however I didn’t know learn how to. So I simply requested her straight.

Man, if I used to be the good-looking major protagonist of a manga… Truly, It’s inconceivable for Yuuichi to do one thing like this.

“Haah, Shiho seen, however I assume Hisam-Tsukasa additionally seen, huh.”

Sei-chan stated as if she gave up and set free a smile.

I imply, now that we’re alone, she out of the blue known as me Tsukasa, which makes me very nervous, so please cease.

“I heard you mutter to your self  ‘So it was all pointless’. ”

“Uuu, so that you heard me? That’s embarrassing.”

“I don’t assume it was pointless, Fujise was very completely satisfied about it.”

“Ah, yeah.”

She doesn’t appear to be satisfied with that.

Sei-chan has a robust sense of duty so she should have been giving it her all to show Fujise correctly.

So she should have gotten depressed as a result of she thought what she did was pointless.

“However don’t you assume Fujise wouldn’t have the ability to do it even when she adopted the recipe usually?”

“Yeah, I assume. I feel once I first began instructing Shiho, I used to be trying on the recipe as I went alongside. Perhaps even then, I used to be verbally explaining issues a bit too quick.”

Sei-chan had tried utilizing a recipe with Fujise earlier than, however she didn’t appear to pay a lot consideration to it again then. 

“At first, she was holding the knife as if she wished to stab somebody, I needed to strive my greatest to repair that quirk of hers.”

“Y-Yeah.”

What sort of means was she even holding the knife if it appeared like she wished to stab somebody…?

She was holding the knife backhandedly at the moment, was there any means it was even worse than that?

Did she maintain two in her hand and one in her mouth?

That will be a very totally different manga in that case. [ED: Possibly a one piece reference? Refers to the character Zoro who fights like that if that’s the case.]

“Due to that, I didn’t assume she would have the ability to do it with only a recipe. Haah, what I did was actually…”

Ah, Sei-chan self-destructed once more.

After we had been with everybody she tried to cover her depressive state, however now that it’s simply the 2 of us, she isn’t hiding her depressive and gloomy mode anymore.

Within the manga, there would in all probability be a “doyon” sound impact on high of Sei-chan’s head.

It was a uncommon sight to see Sei-chan so depressed.

In case your pretty girlfriend is depressed, it’s pure to cheer her up.

“What you probably did wasn’t meaningless, I feel Fujise is grateful for that too.”

“She would possibly thank me as a result of she is sort, however I didn’t educate her something. I couldn’t have even instructed her to only take a look at a recipe like Tsukasa stated.”

“No, no. I didn’t do something noteworthy.”

“Properly, I assume meaning I used to be no extra helpful than that not-so-important factor.”

Un, being depressed is surprisingly annoying!

She stated that in a sarcastic tone, which can be a uncommon sight to see.

I haven’t seen this within the unique manga.

I assume it’s a weak spot that I’m in love along with her, however I discover that a part of hers cute too.

“Ah… sorry, I stated one thing sarcastic. I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s high-quality.”

She appears to grasp her phrases contained some thorns in it so she appeared down and apologised.

As for me, I don’t thoughts in any respect. Quite. I’m completely satisfied to see Sei-chan act like that in entrance of me.

The air was heavier than ever.

It was actually uncommon for Sei-chan to be so depressed.

Even within the unique story, It was exhausting to see her so depressed in any respect.

If you happen to do see it although… It was closely associated to Fujise’s cooking. Fujise’s cooking ability by no means improved regardless of how a lot she tried to take action.

Even then, it was the “I’m helpless” type of despair. 

Maybe Sei-chan wished to be helpful to her greatest good friend Fujise,

Nonetheless, she was depressed as a result of she wasn’t that helpful within the unique story. However now she’s extra depressed over the truth that she made her do one thing ineffective all this whereas.

Proper subsequent to me. Sei-chan appeared depressed at my earlier remark.

I’m getting a bit of nervous making an attempt to cheer up Sei-chan like this.

I put my proper hand, which was trembling gently on Sei-chan’s head.

“…!”

“I don’t care about what occurred earlier. I feel you actually did your greatest Sei-chan.”

Sei-chan appeared up at me with shock.

I stroked Sei-chan’s hair gently to cover my embarrassment as I continued.

“If you happen to hadn’t taught Fujise the fundamentals of cooking, at the moment’s dish would have been much more tough to organize, and I feel that may have been an even bigger drawback than simply following the recipe.”

“N-No, that…”

“Fujise might solely cook dinner now as a result of Sei-chan taught her the fundamentals.”

I continued to pat her, telling her what I believed within the course of.

I’ve solely accomplished this to Rinke however I feel she could be pleased with this too.

With my restricted quantity of expertise, this was the one act of consolation I might consider.

However even now, I’m nonetheless insanely nervous about really doing it.

I imply, Sei-chan’s hair is so tender and silky, it’s simply wonderful. I don’t have sufficient vocabulary to explain how good it’s.

Though I pat Rinke roughly generally, there was no means I might try this proper now.

Sei-chan checked out me with a shocked look on her face. Then rapidly appeared again down once more.

Solely the facet of her face and ears had been seen, however I might clearly see that her complete face was fully crimson.

Wait… May or not it’s that Sei-chan doesn’t like being stroked on the pinnacle? [TLN: You idiot.] [ED: Amazing.]

Not all ladies like being stroked on the pinnacle in spite of everything.

Moreover, I heard {that a} lady’s hair is like one other strand of life to them, and I’m certain she values her hair far more than me.

I TOUCHED HER HAIR WITHOUT HER PERMISSION!!

“Ah, Uh, I’m sorry Sei-chan.”

“Eh? Ah..?”

I pulled my hand away from Sei-chan because the blood rushed to my face.

“I’m sorry for touching you out of the blue, However I actually meant what I stated earlier.”

“Ehh..? W-Properly, I’m sorry. I used to be a bit of shocked and didn’t hear what you stated again then.”

“Ah, I’m saying that it was not a waste of time, as a result of I feel the success of this mission was attributable to the truth that Sei-chan taught Fujise the fundamentals of cooking.”

“O-Oh, Thanks.”

“Y-You’re welcome.”

Oh no, the air bought awkward now.

I made the error of patting her in spite of everything.

And Sei-chan was so shocked by it that she didn’t appear to listen to a phrase I stated in any respect.

However Sei-chan’s temper is getting higher and higher. Wait, it’s getting higher?

W-Properly, she’s now not depressed, so I assume it’s all good.

If I didn’t really take into consideration what I stated, I don’t assume I might have been capable of pull it off.

“Properly, I assume we’ll need to search for that bento field now.”

“Y-Yeah, I assume so.”

Sei-chan and I then started to seek for our lunch bins, though the environment was a bit awkward within the course of.
