The Chosen Ones Also Want a Youth Romance Story

"How was your talk?"

Watching Yukinoshita insert the straw and start drinking, Kanda Osamu thought of the commission he had just received.

"Go to the Home Economics classroom."

Yukinoshita took a sip of strawberry juice, stood up and brushed her hair off her shoulders.

"Yuigahama-san's request needs to be carried out there." She walked out of the service room first without further explanation, "You two should come too."

"All right……"

Kanda Osamu put the detective agency's paper documents on the table into his backpack, and followed Yukinoshita and Yuigahama to the home economics classroom with Hikigaya.

It seems that the commission is to help with cooking or something.

It probably isn't a difficult task. Let's not talk about Yukinoshita for now. Yuigahama-san looks like a very cheerful girl. It should be easy for her to finish one or two dishes...right?

Home Economics Classroom.

Yukinoshita helped Yuigahama put on her apron, and the two girls entered the intense cookie-making process.

Kanda Osamu leaned against the window, took out his headphones and put them on. The home economics classroom was filled with a strong sweet smell of vanilla, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

He closed his eyes, breathing in the fresh air while chatting with Omegamon in the Tyrannosaurus.

"Ash's life is really leisurely."

“That’s how life is in the human world.”

At this point, Kanda Osamu's eyes lit up.

"When the cookies are ready, I'll give them to you to try."

"Okay."

The partners were so busy bonding with each other that they forgot about the three people in the classroom.

Twenty minutes later.

"...Kanda-kun? Kanda-kun?"

Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes and sighed coldly.

Kanda quickly took off his headphones when he heard her words, "What's going on?"

"I thought Sleepy-kun fell asleep again." Yukinoshita mentioned the nickname she gave to Kanda Osamu again, staring at Kanda, "Let's try Yuigahama-san's work."

Yukinoshita handed their finished product to Kanda Osamu. When Kanda saw what was placed on the spray gun, he was stunned.

Kanda Osamu: "Excuse me, what is this?"

All they saw before them was a mass of black carbon, and they had no way of telling what they were originally planning to do.

"It's cookies."

Hikigaya Hachiman, who was standing aside, covered his mouth with his hands, looking grim. It was obvious that he had already been killed.

Hikigaya-san, it's wrong to lie, right? Actually, this is Kurotan, right? Right?

"Or maybe I should just give up...Hasn't Hikigaya-kun already tried it?"

"No, only if one more person tries can we find the problem as soon as possible."

Is there any need to find this out?! Isn’t it obvious that there are problems at first glance?

Kanda Osamu picked up a biscuit with trembling hands, and consoled himself that it might just not look good, so he made up his mind and put it in his mouth.

...It's not particularly unpalatable.

He took a few experimental bites. Although they didn't look good, the taste of Yuigahama's biscuits was roughly the same as the coffee that Murumi often handed him. However, he also saw the ugly expression on Hikigaya's face.

It seems that my taste buds have been completely destroyed, Kanda Osamu sighed.

"Okay……"

When Kanda Osamu said this calmly, Hikigaya on the side had already greeted him with the eyes of a "warrior".

He really is, I'm about to cry, Kanda-kun.

Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't seem that bad. She put aside her suspicion and picked up a cookie and put it in her mouth.

……

"Ouch~ It's so bitter and unpalatable!" Yuigahama didn't know how she swallowed the biscuit. She just felt a black screen in front of her eyes. When she came to her senses, she was crying and drinking water to relieve the tears.

Yukinoshita took out paper cups and made black tea for everyone to remove the bitterness of the Yuigahama biscuits.

No one wanted to eat the remaining Kurotan, and only after Kanda Osamu had eaten most of it did the four of them gather together to discuss a solution.

"Who do you want to give the cookies to, Yuigahama-san?"

"Hey?!"

Yuigahama lowered her head and twirled her hair. After a while, she spoke, "I don't really know him."

It's a boy...

"How about buying one at a convenience store? Most people won't be able to tell it."

Hikigaya gave his own advice.

"That would be very insincere!"

Yuigahama first refuted Hikigaya's proposal, her eyes stayed on Hikigaya for a while, then she drooped her shoulders weakly and sighed, "It seems that I really don't have such a talent..."

"Yuigahama-san, could you please stop trying to please others?"

When Yuigahama stopped her laughter to ease the atmosphere, Yukinoshita put down the teacup in her hand, her bangs hanging quietly on her forehead, and her sparkling eyes expressed her responsibility with a serious expression.

"Don't you have your own opinions? If you have to ask others for their opinions on everything, wouldn't you look stupid?"

Wow, Ms. Yukinoshita at full power.

Kanda Osamu didn't try to speak to help.

He knew that Yukinoshita Yukino was a person with a strong sense of self. Strong people never gather in groups, and once Yukinoshita made a decision, she would stick to it from beginning to end.

The housekeeping room fell into silence. Yuigahama was trembling, clutching the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands.

Don't cry, girl?

Yukinoshita doesn't seem like the type of person who would show mercy just because the other person is weak.

"So... so handsome."

"Ugh?"

"Hey?"

"I think Yukinoshita is so handsome!"

Yuigahama raised her head and enthusiastically grabbed Yukinoshita's hand, "You don't care about polite words at all. I think Yukinoshita is super handsome like this."

Straight shot! The Yukinoshita was destroyed by the Yuigahama's rampage.

Kanda and Hikigaya looked at each other. Neither of them expected that Yuigahama had such a high fighting ability.

Facing Yuigahama's attack, Yukinoshita couldn't think of anything to say. Looking at Yuigahama's unexpected gaze, her red ears were hidden under her black hair.

If it were an ordinary person, after being severely reprimanded by Yukinoshita, he would probably have turned red in the face and become angry.

Yukinoshita was also very confused. It was probably her first experience to harshly criticize someone and receive a sincere apology from him.

"In that case, let's try it again, shall we?"

Kanda Osamu saw Yukinoshita's embarrassment and suggested.

"Ahem, alright, I'll show you a good lesson, Yuigahama-san."

Yukinoshita became serious, tied her black hair behind her head with both hands, then rolled up her sleeves and quickly got into the state.

When Yukinoshita began her teaching, Yuigahama secretly looked at Hikigaya. The determined girl would never give up easily.

Eh? Could it be that...

At this time, Kanda Shu finally discovered the girl's true intention hidden in her heart.

"Speaking of gift giving, what kind of gifts would generally make Hikigaya happy?"

"Oh, me?"

Kanda Osamu's question caught Hikigaya Hachiman off guard.

I don't usually receive gifts, so I can't give you any good advice.

"I was just saying that."

Kanda Osamu picked up the black tea and tasted it carefully. Yukinoshita's cooking skills were quite good. The mellow aroma of black tea filled the housekeeping room. Hikigaya, who was standing by, relaxed when he saw him sipping tea.

What kind of gift...

When thinking about this question, Hikigaya immediately thought of his sister who was always worrying about all kinds of trivial matters for her brother and her cheerful smile, and the answer came to his mind.

"Well... probably a gift that carries true emotions." Hikigaya organized his words and coughed lightly, appearing to have thought it through carefully. "The form of the gift is secondary."

"so……"

Kanda Osamu was silent for a while and ignored Hikigaya. He raised the paper cup to cover the corners of his raised mouth, not wanting to reveal that his silence was just to hold back his laughter so as not to hurt Hikigaya's self-esteem.

Should he tell Hikigaya that the Kurozumi he just tasted was actually prepared for him?

And it's not just this one, there's a high probability that it will happen in the next one as well.

Hikigaya didn't understand the underlying meaning of Kanda's question.

He turned his attention back to the girls who were working hard. The home economics room fell into silence, and from time to time, the music played by the girls for their youth could be heard.

……

Yukinoshita was trustworthy, and she was well prepared and quickly placed a new portion of cookies on the plate.

Oh, what a dream pastry chef!

Kanda tentatively put the delicious-looking cookie into his mouth and was immediately captivated.

“It’s really delicious.”

Full of faintness!

Yuigahama and Hikigaya also gave positive reviews after tasting the food.

Yukinoshita smiled harmlessly and said to Yuigahama, "Everything is done according to the recipe. As long as you work hard, Yuigahama-san, you will definitely be able to make cookies like this."

So, Yuigahama started trying again.

After secretly giving all the cookies on the plate to Omegamon, Kanda Osamu watched Yuigahama beating the eggs and kneading the dough properly.

I’m sure the cookies that come out of the oven will be delicious too. I’m in for a treat today.

pity……

"Why is it different?"

At this moment, Kanda Osamu seemed to see a question mark appearing above Yukinoshita's head.

Yukinoshita Yukino held her hand to her forehead as if she had a headache and looked at the cookies that Yuigahama had just made.

Although she was following the recipe, the cookies Yuigahama made were always very different from normal cookies.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, but the prerequisite is that he can learn how to fish.

Yuigahama was quite depressed because of this, and Yukinoshita had nothing to say.

"Think positively, everyone."

Kanda Osamu smiled. He ignored Yukinoshita's headache and said in a light tone, "Why do you have to pay attention to the taste of the gift? As long as the thought is there, I think boys won't mind."

After saying this, Kanda paused for a moment and added the next sentence:

"Of course, this is not just my opinion. Hikigaya-san thinks the same way, right?"

Kanda quietly winked at Yuigahama with his right eye and expressed his opinion.
