"What is a Tootsuki student?"
All the coaches looked in the direction where the voice came from, finding Asuna standing near them.
The old coach narrowed his eyes and stared at Asuna "don't you know if he is a Tootsuki student or not?" the coach asked seriously but Asuna shook his head
"Sigh ..." the old coach sighed while massaging his wrinkled forehead. "I really don't know if I should talk about the matter, if he didn't mention the lady about the matter it means he has no intention of talking about Tootsuki."
"It makes sense, she is the one who is closest to Haruta-kun but I also didn't know she was a Tootsuki student" Karasuno's advisor was the first to speak preventing Asuna from knowing more than necessary.
Asuna closed her hands and the complicated expression on her face caught the attention of the old coach "Sigh ..." the old coach sighed again "I can't tell you anything about the boy since I don't know him, but I can tell you something about the totsuki students this really is not a secret "
Asuna's face lit up again and she turned her gaze to the old coach, as did everyone who was close "If a Totsuki student is not inside the school, it means he was expelled, but by eating this dish I know that he was expelled for losing a duel, that is to say a Shokugeki .... it would be better not to ask more things than necessary, losing a duel that forces you to expulsion is due to a matter of great importance and usually brings very painful memories "With the previous words the old coach got up from his seat and left the dining room.
All the coaches thanked Asuna for the food and left to supervise the training of their players.
Asuna stood in the dining room looking at the dishes in front of her "President?"
The voice that made Asuna turn around was the voice of Haruta who had returned from her bathroom "what's going on president? Why does she have that long face?" asked Haruta approaching where Asuna stood "If it is for washing the dishes that is no problem, I have a secret technique for washing dishes at an incredible speed"
Haruta kept his smile as he lifted the dishes to wash them, Asuna on the other hand kept staring as his head turned between thoughts 'What do I really know about Haruta?'
Just as Haruta had said before, he washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen leaving it completely bright while Asuna carried her luggage to the room to which it had been assigned.
On the large table in the center of the kitchen there were many vegetables and small plates, Haruta was there making preparations to cook breakfast the next day.
Behind Haruta passed a refined young woman with long silky black hair with a characteristic mole under her lower lip, was the manager of Karasuno, Kiyoko Shimizu, Haruta did not give it importance and continued with her work with normality until when the young woman with hair Black sat in front of him with a knife in his hand.
"What are you doing?" Haruta asked, stopping his hands to look at the beautiful girl in front of him.
"I help you cook," Shimizu replied as he moved his hair back with his right hand.
Haruta shook his head but then continued doing his job "Your girlfriend ...?"
"She is not my girlfriend, she is the president of the club and she is taking a bath right now," Haruta replied, clarifying all the misunderstandings that might exist.
"I see" Shimizu continued peeling potatoes as Haruta did
"Why aren't you with your club?" Haruta asked without taking his eyes off his work
"They are training on their own and the apprentice manager is with them" Shimizu's low voice made Haruta have to make an effort to listen to her, Haruta's expression was not the best at that time "I heard you were a Tootsuki student before"
When the words 'Tootsuki' entered Haruta's ears he stood still for a moment but only for a moment he stopped smiling and clenched his lower lip with his teeth "Sigh" Haruta sighed to calm down "I guess everyone will know anyway , but I would have liked it to remain a secret .... "
"The Nekoma coach discovered you as soon as he took a look at your food" Shimizu did not remain silent and told Haruta who was the one who discovered it.
"Nekoma's coach ?!" Haruta exclaimed causing Shimizu to be surprised "who is Nekoma's coach?"
"..." Shimizu was speechless looking at Haruta who was now chopping the vegetables into small pieces at an incredible speed as if it were something of the most natural "He is the oldest coach of all present"
"I understand," Haruta replied, pointing the old man's description in his mind. "Maybe then I should thank him," Haruta said in his mind.
"At school I heard from Yamamoto that you were transferred, but the Nekoma coach said that Totsuki's students are never transferred" For every thing Shimizu said the expression on Haruta's face became darker but keeping the usual smile
"So Yamamoto is also your classmate .... well the Nekoma coach is right, the only way a student withdraws from Tootsuki is to be expelled" Haruta answered honestly while now preparing small strips of chicken thighs.
"The expulsion in Tootsuki depends on several things but generally it is because the students do not fulfill the desired performance, that is to say that their grades are mediocre" Haruta explained calmly while Shimizu listened carefully
"In Totsuki there is an extracurricular activity, it is the culinary battles also called Shokugekis within Totsuki, the Shokugekis are duels where students compete by betting something of value"
"You can bet anything you own as long as the opponent accepts it, likewise he must bet something of equal value, in my case I bet my stay inside Tootsuki and I ended up in this place" for the last words Haruta could only drop his resigned shoulders.
