Chapter -018-

Cressh..

No... No.. No... Nope..

No.. No.. No.. No..

The sound of a sharp knife rubbing against a wooden base and a carrot could be heard playing in the cooking club room.

Where now the female students who are members in the cooking club are focused on being amazed at how painstakingly a Tetsuya Yuki is cutting various types of vegetables that will be used as their cooking ingredients today.

Even the sound of admiration did not stop coming from the lips of the female students who were still focused on paying attention to Yuki.

Hanami who watched the members of the cooking club in awe watching Yuki chop vegetables and other ingredients for today's cooking practice also had a satisfied smile on her face as she folded her arms in front of her chest.

Hanami felt proud to see Yuki's diligence in cutting the vegetable ingredients at this time. It was not in vain that he taught his beloved sister to cook since childhood. He also felt very happy to see his sister was now officially a member of his cooking club. This way, the members of the cooking club will be even more excited to join the class.

Srasshh..

The sound of vegetables being put into a frying pan filled with hot oil sounded so tempting to the ears of the cooking club members. They felt that this was the first time they heard the sound of vegetables being put into cooking oil as tempting as this.

Yuki, who is currently focusing on cooking, doesn't even pay attention to the gazes of the members of the cooking club who are watching her process food ingredients to make simple bento that can be brought to school.

Yuki is painstakingly cutting, cooking and adding seasonings to serve the dishes he used to make for the Washida club members when he was in junior high school.

After finishing his cooking, Yuki stretched out one hand to take a parsley leaf to decorate his current bento menu.

"Okay, I'm done cooking." Yuki said when he had finished putting the parsley leaves and now his eyes turned to all the members of the cooking club who were looking at him with admiration.

"Hwaaahh, this bento looks so tempting!"

"You're right! Even the smell is so very delicious!"

"I feel like a failure as a woman after seeing Yuki-kun who is so meticulous in cooking."

Yuki who heard the words replied to the members of the cooking club also had a small smile on his face.

"All of you can definitely make this bento. Because it's just a simple bento that I used to make for my club members."

"But this looks more than just Yuki-kun's ordinary bento! It looks so luxurious if you make it!" Dodged one of the female students and was approved by the other members of the cooking club.

"Right! It looks so luxurious! Can we take a picture of it Yuki-kun?" Asked another female student to which Yuki nodded her head.

"Of course you can take your picture if you want."

Screams of joy aired in the cooking club room and now the members of the cooking club took turns taking pictures of Yuki's bento. Making Hanami who had been watching deeply now shook his head at the behavior of his members.

Yuki also gave a little space for the members of the cooking club to take photos of his homemade bento. Yuki's eyes are now looking for where Hanami is and Yuki immediately steps to approach Hanami when he sees where his sister is.

"Yuki-kun, I didn't expect you to be this popular among my cooking club members." Hanami said when she saw Yuki was walking towards her.

"No, haven't you seen it Senpai. If what is popular among the members of the cooking club is my bento, the proof is that they chose to take photos of my bento instead." Yuki replied, which Hanami replied with a chuckle.

"Tsk, that's because I warned them beforehand. I forbid them to take this photo of you wearing this pink cooking apron. Your image will immediately fall if the public finds out you look like this."

Yuki chuckled at Hanami's words. "Even without you doing that, wouldn't my image have already fallen, after I said I would retire from basketball at the press conference last year?"

Hanami who heard Yuki's words, took a deep breath. "No, your image didn't fall at all Yu-kun. You even became the number one trending for what you did at the press conference. They were all very surprised and curious about the retirement option you chose."

Yuki had a small smile on his face. "Senpai, I don't think about public opinion at all about me. The most important thing is that I'm currently living my life in a relaxed and calm manner."

Hanami sighed again. "Okay then. You don't regret it at all when I tell them they can take photos or record you practicing cooking."

"If my cooking practice can inspire so many people why should I refuse to be recorded?" Yuki said making Hanami put a smirk on her face.

"I hope you won't regret what you just said Yu-kun."

Yuki nodded his head confidently.

Looking at Yuki who nodded his head Confidently. Hanami is now walking over to the members of his cooking club who are still taking pictures of Yuki's bento.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"Alright everyone. I'll take back my word that forbids you to take photos and record Yuki-kun's activation while installing, because I already have approval from Yuki-kun himself." Hanami said while clapping her hands three times to turn the attention of the cooking club members to her.

"From now onwards, you are free to record the activities of Yuki-kun who will practice cooking in this club. Because Yuki-kun himself said he doesn't mind it. How about you? asked Hanami who without having to wait long, was immediately answered with happy screams by the members of the cooking club.

"Hwaaa! Is it true that we can record Yuki-kun's cooking practice?" One of the cooking club members asked Yuki directly.

Yuki answered him while nodding his head with a smile on his face. "Of course, why not? If what I do can inspire a lot of people."

Again, the sound of happy screams aired in the cooking club room until it was heard out of the room, making several students who were walking in the corridor in front of the cooking club room gasped in surprise at the excited screams from inside.

Hanami who saw the response from her club members also had a bright smile on her face.

"Okay, then Yuki-kun. Now you're back to practicing cooking and all club members can record it and then spread it on whatever social media you have!"

In unison the members of the cooking club nodded their heads.

"Alright Hanami-senpai!"
