Event 26: The Medical Curry
"We will cook Shimotsu-to Curry or four-season decoction curry" at the end of speaking, Haruta pressed a small button on the box causing it to open revealing a black knife, even the blade was black only leaving the edge that reflected the light.
Asuna was speechless when she saw the knife resting in the box "is that your personal knife ?!" Asuna was surprised and took Haruta's knife from the handle watching carefully "It is not ink what they used to make it out of this color, its metal is precisely black, how is that possible?"
"It is an ancient knife that was forged with ancient metals, it is very likely that they are not currently found, according to my father this knife has more than ten generations" Haruta crossed his arms with pride while inflating his chest.
"So it's a family knife, your family must be a great heritage of chefs" Asuna muttered
"What are you talking about?" Haruta asked, making Asuna look at him again. "Only my father and I are cooks, the rest of the family has other types of businesses, it is likely that this knife has not been forged to cook from the beginning but in my hands it is the only thing you can do "
"The family is important, but only that, it is everyone's responsibility to decide their future even if our family does not like it." Haruta smiled proudly as he took the knife in his hands.
Haruta did not know that the words he had said right now would generate a change in the way of thinking of Asuna who always held back thanks to her family.
While Asuna was standing frozen, Haruta turned around and from his briefcase he took out several glass jars in the form of cylinders "I think we should start, we don't want our customers to wait longer than necessary" with the above Haruta started cooking at full speed.
All the vegetables went through Asuna's knife while Haruta worried about the main preparations.
The aroma of the food leaked from the kitchen and spread throughout the training center, it was how everyone learned that the food was already at its climax.
"President, I need you to prepare all the dishes." With the sound of Haruta's voice, Asuna moved quickly removing all the dishes from the shelves.
The club managers were in charge of preparing the tables where all the training participants would eat.
Only a few more minutes were enough for when the food was ready, everything was prepared and Haruta began to serve the dishes in peace.
Asuna and the managers were in charge of serving each dish on the table so that they were tasted in full flavor.
When all the dishes were finally served, Haruta took off the handkerchief that covered her hair, removed the last button on her shirt and left the kitchen.
"what?" Haruta asked surprised at the kitchen door when he noticed that everyone was watching him carefully "what are you all waiting for? If food loses its temperature it will not have the expected effect!"
Angry Haruta turned around ready to retire "Take advantage!" everyone exclaimed inside the dining room where they started eating without stopping.
Many sounds came from the inside but Haruta did not give them importance, with the memories of the original Haruta he could very well predict the reactions of everyone inside.
He took his bag to the bathrooms to take a shower and remove all the exhaustion accumulated in his body, even with the stamina statistic his body was still human and therefore he continued to sweat as well as stink.
(Moment before inside the dining room)
Everyone watched as Haruta left the dining room, turned their heads to look at the plate in front of them.
"Is this ramen?" asked a young man with silver hair, a student at Fukurodani High School.
"The girl over there said her name was Curry Shimotsu-to," said one of the boys next to the silver-haired young man making everyone start muttering different things.
All adults belonging to each high school were sitting at the same table separated from the students, one of the oldest coaches took the plate in his hands "Children without senses, this dish can only be eaten once in his life," said the coach with a smile on his face as he moved a piece of meat from the plate letting all the aroma out.
The aroma expelled by the saucer made all the players begin to drool uncontrollably, many did the same and began to eat quickly.
"Uhooooo !!" Nishinoya and Tanaka yelled loudly as they stood up again "What is this ?!" both had the same question while doing basic movements
"I feel like my body regains strength and I even feel lighter than before" Nishinoya made small leaps with a big smile.
Asuna was watching everyone's reactions and could feel great pride in hearing how everyone ate happily
"Is incredible!" the silver-haired young man from before had a big smile as he finished drinking the soup from the plate "I want another plate!" the young man exclaimed raising the plate.
"n-we don't have anything else" said Asuna nervously with a small awkward smile
"Haruta usually cooks the rations necessary to avoid waste"
When Asuna finished speaking many of the men lowered their heads with a fateful expression, as soon as they tried the dish they lost control and ran out of food at full speed.
"Chi chi chi" laughed the old coach looking at the expressions of the young people "I told you, this is a dish that you will only try once in your life"
"But there are still many meals left while we are at the camp" Coach Nakai was the first to speak in the dialogue but the old coach gave him a disapproving look.
"You're just a rookie, You still don't know who are the best chef in Japan and their customs" the former coach continued to eat his food with peace of mind "There are only a few people in the country capable of cooking this dish and they are much less if they are of the age of the young man "
"What do you mean coach?" asked the Karasuno advisor with doubts
The coach had a big smile on his face "does he attend his school and still don't know it?" asked the old coach but when he saw that none of the adults in the Karasuno club responded he could only sigh tiredly "The only ones who can cook this way are the Tootsuki students"
