All the girls are good at cooking

Talking, this was probably the best way to solve everything. 

Naturally, this talk couldn't be filled with negative emotions, and the two should enjoy it, or else nothing will change. 

It was because the two enjoyed their time together, talking to each other, that somehow, everything was solved. 

But then again, Ishigami felt that he was such a lucky guy since Kobachi's love for him was much bigger than her anger and hatred. 

Yet, once again, he realized how lucky he was, especially when she said nothing when they returned to the class. 

"Yuu!" 

When Ishigami was inside the class, he returned as Onodera's lover, and naturally, she hugged him happily. However, similar to before, Kobachi said nothing and let them be together. 

Yet, like the calm before the storm, while everything appeared to be okay if he didn't do anything like what he did to Tsubame and Kobachi, he knew that everything would crumble. 

Still, there was no need for him to be in a hurry, and he could do everything slowly, especially when the class started. 

Only when it was the turn for the home economics class did trouble come to him. 

"Ishigami, can I be your team in this class?" 

When Onodera came to him and said that she wanted to be a team with him in this home economics class, a beautiful girl with short black hair approached him and asked with a smile. 

"Makihara-san?" 

Before Ishigami said anything, Onodera looked at Kozue Makihara in front of her. 

To be honest, similar to Ishigami, Kozue was also a famous figure, and the two were famous for their stigma. 

However, unlike Ishigami, who was being slandered by someone, Kozue's bad reputation came from herself, which was all due to her emotional intelligence, which was almost at the peak of human level. Because of her understanding, she understood many things, and unfortunately, she couldn't keep her mouth shut, too, which made many isolate her. 

If it was before, Ishigami might not say much since even if their relationship wasn't close, he didn't think too much, even if Kozue joined his team in the home economics class, but that was before. 

When he thought about his encounter with Kozue at the Tabletop Gaming Club when he had just made out with Chika, he thought that this girl must have been trying to pry something from him. 

Chika might say to leave everything to her, but considering how silly Chika was, Ishigami thought that Chika must have messed up! 

Nevertheless, while Ishigami thought about Kozue's purpose, Onodera thought that Kozue was trying to get the attention of her boyfriend! 

However, considering Kozue's popularity as a member of the Tabletop Gaming Club, Onodera felt that Kozue was okay, especially when she could see that she was cuter than Kozue. 

"I don't mind," Onodera said with ease, which made Ishigami feel speechless, but he didn't really want to get close to Kozue! 

While Kozue appeared to smile, Ishigami felt this girl was suspicious, and while he was good at acting, the problem was Chika wasn't his only one, and there were still many of his girls! 

Ishigami might be good at acting, but what about the others? 

If Kozue understood everything, then... what would happen then? 

"Can you cook, Makihara-san?" 

The lesson on home economics today was cooking, and all of them had to make a team to cook something that was asked by the teacher. 

While they weren't sure what the teacher asked them to cook, there was no doubt that having someone who could cook was much better than not. 

At the same time, by using this question, Ishigami hoped that he could refuse Kozue softly. 

"Yes." 

Unexpectedly, Kozue nodded with a smile. "I can boil hot water and make instant noodles!" 

"...." 2x

Ishigami and Onodera were dumbfounded since they didn't expect to hear such an answer, especially in the proudest way. 

The Shuchi'in Academy was a school mostly for the wealthy, and those who stayed naturally had a good family, so their chance to learn about cooking was definitely less than those with a normal. 

Or rather, even most women in the modern era didn't know how to cook. 

Instead, it was mostly a guy who knew how to cook since they wished to become a household husband. 

So, there was no doubt that Kozue's answer surprised the two, especially by how shameless her answer was! 

However, this also made Onodera feel comfortable. "Wow, you are amazing, Makihara-san. I can only boil water." 

"It's nothing." Kozue shook her head and then looked at Ishigami with a smug smile. "It is a normal skill, especially if I want to live well in the dorm." 

Unlike the others, she lived in the dorm of the Shuchi'in Academy, and all of her food was prepared by the dorm manager. If she was bored with all the food, she would go outside and buy food. 

As for instant noodle cooking skills, they were necessary, especially when she often got hungry in the middle of the night. Fortunately, she couldn't get fat no matter how much she ate. 

Regardless of watching Onodera's comfortable expression, Kozue knew that her position on this team was stable and that she would definitely become part of it. 

Only Ishigami looked at Onodera and Kozue in silence, wondering whether this was okay, but he could see that the favorability of Onodera's heart toward Kozue rose at a high speed, like a bullet train! 

However, he knew that even if Kozue's cooking skills were horrible, this girl was as good as being accepted within the group, especially when everything about her was worse than Onodera's. 

"If you three don't mind, can the two of us join too?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted them, and when they turned, they saw Kobachi and Iino, who came in their direction and asked them to join the group. 

As the team was made up of five people, there was no doubt that with the five of them, it would be a perfect fit. 

While Iino was a bit embarrassed, she also followed Kobachi, joining Ishigami's group. 

"Sure." 

Onodera didn't think too much, but then she also asked, "By the way, can you two cook?" 

"I can boil water to make tea," Kobachi said calmly and smoothly since she had heard the conversation between the two. 

"Oh!" 2x

Onodera and Kozue were amazed by Kobachi's ability! 

"..." Ishigami. 

"How about you, Iino?" 

As everyone was clear about Kobachi's skill, all of them quickly turned their attention to this prickly, cute girl. 

Iino blushed, slightly overwhelmed, but she, who was a good girl, always honest, and never lied, so—

"I-I am good at eating!" 

"That's great!" 

"That's a good talent." 

Kozue and Onodera nodded happily. 

"...." 

Ishigami looked at the four of them silently and wondered whether he was the weird one. 

This was probably how it felt to become a protagonist in a world of moral reversal.

In a world where all the girls were active and the boys were passive, this was probably how it felt since Ishigami felt that he was weird and that he was the only one who knew how to cook among the five of them. 

"What's wrong, Ishigami? Are you happy about being surrounded by many cute girls?" Kozue asked with a smile. 

"....." 

Ishigami looked at Kozue and wondered whether Kozue's background setting as someone with the highest emotional intelligence in their story was correct. 

However, there was no doubt that this girl was really good at causing him trouble.
