Chapter 7
Yuma Mochizuki

Are you guys… making something?

Senri Nito

N– No, nothing! We were just playing around with knives!

Yuma Mochizuki

… That’s dangerous.

Touji Harimiya

No, worry not, Mochizuki-kun! Th- The truth is, there exists something in the world called the “Kitchen Knife Championship”!

Senri Nito

Right! In order to secure first place there, we’re doing special training!

Yuma Mochizuki

“Kitchen Knife Championship”…? Yanagi-senpai, too?

Yanagi Hanabusa

Me and knives don’t go well together.

Yuma Mochizuki

… Even though you get stabbed with them?

Yanagi Hanabusa

Oh, yeah, that did happen ^_^

Senri Nito

A-Anyway, Yumapi! It’s dangerous in here, so youd better return to your room!

Yuma Mochizuki

But… my sweet potatoes…

Takaomi Shishimaru

What a pain. It’s useless to keep trying to hide it.

Senri & Touji

Takaomi Shishimaru

Yuma, we were trying to make your favorite food for you.

Yuma Mochizuki

Eh…?

Senri Nito

Ugh, dammit! Why did you just reveal it like that, you moron lion!

Takaomi Shishimaru

We can’t trick him, you know. (r u sure)

Touji Harimiya

Well… I suppose he’s already seen the ingredients, too…

Yuma Mochizuki

(My favorite food… for me?)

The vegetables laying out, the aburaage, konjac… and what looks like pork.

Yuma Mochizuki

(Could it… pork soup?)

(But why is there smoke coming out of the microwave…?)

(That thing charred black, the thing chopped too finely on top of the cutting board… it’s a mystery.)

Takaomi Shishimaru

Let us finish it. I don’t like leaving things half-assed.

Senri Nito

That’s right. Yumapi, we’ll definitely make you delicious pork soup, so just lay back and watch!

Touji Harimiya

Heh. Behold my first-rate knife-handling skills!

Takaomi Shishimaru

Anyway, we’re going to keep making it until it’s finished, so sit there, shut up, and wait, stupid Yuma.

Yuma Mochizuki

(Going this far… just for my sake…)

Yuma Mochizuki

… Thank you. Then I’ll watch.

Yanagi Hanabusa

I’m waiting for a call from my sweetie, so I suppose I’ll stay and learn a little by watching myself.

Senri Nito

Huh? Is this really how you’re supposed to cut the carrots? Well, whatever.

Yuma Mochizuki

(That’s practically finely chopping them… for carrots, it’s okay just to cut them into quarters…)

Touji Harimiya

Hmmm. Is there skin on this thing called a burdock? No skin? How puzzling. I’ll look it up online.

Yuma Mochizuki

(Harimiya… the skin on that burdock looks thick. If it were Granny, she’d scrape it off with the back of the knife. Then, you cut it diagonally into thin slices…)

Yanagi Hanabusa

Oh? So that’s what a burdock root looks like. I’ve never seen one before it’s already been prepared.

Yuma Mochizuki

… What kind of life have you been living that you’ve never seen a burdock before it’s been cooked?

Yanagi Hanabusa

Hm? A normal one? ^_^

Takaomi Shishimaru

Oi, Bonbon, are the safety goggles not here yet?

Yuma Mochizuki

(Goggles…?)

Touji Harimiya

Ah, my apologies. It should only be a little longer.

Right now, old man Yoshi is arranging to send powerful protective goggles that can withstand any gas, liquid, or solid.

Yanagi Hanabusa

What are you going to use such high-performance goggles for?

Takaomi Shishimaru

Ha? For cutting the tamanegi, obviously.

Yuma Mochizuki

Eh……..

Yanagi Hanabusa

Why do you need to wear goggles for cutting tamanegi?

Takaomi Shishimaru

Because the allyl sulfur compounds make your eyes water. Didn’t you know that?

Yanagi Hanabusa

Oh? Cooking sounds quite perilous.

Yuma Mochizuki

(Going out of your way to wear goggles for cutting tamanegi…? Shishimaru and Harimiya are… both weird.)

Senri Nito

Huh~? While I was peeling the skin off the poatoes, they suddenly turned super tiny~!

Yuma Mochizuki

(Wha…!? He cut off so much of the edible portion… wh-what a waste…)

Takaomi Shishimaru

Isn’t anything fine as far as potatoes or whatever go?

Yanagi Hanabusa

Ah, by the way, Yuma. Why have you been holding on to the sweet potatoes this whole time? They’re big.

Yuma Mochizuki

So you’ve at least seen what sweet potatoes look like before they’re cooked…

Yanagi Hanabusa

Haha. I at least know that much about the world.

Senri Nito

Nice, Yumapi~! Please! I’ll put those sweet potatoes in the soup in place of these tiny potatoes!

Yuma Mochizuki

Ah… sure, but…

Senri Nito

Thank you~! I’ll take good care of them!

First I’ll take the knife and slice off the bothersome purple skin~ ♪

Yuma Mochizuki

– Wait.

Senri Nito

Eh?

Yuma Mochizuki

(That’s it, I can’t take any more.)

With nimble movements, I took back the sweet potato from Nito.
