Can you handle my Hikigaya's cooking?

Perhaps he was annoyed at being seen through, or perhaps he was simply disdainful, Hachiman simply put his hands in his trouser pockets and turned his head in the opposite direction of Yukinoshita.

It was only the second day, but they were already like a pair of enemies. Yuigahama was a little confused.

Didn't these two just meet yesterday? And I've never seen them talk to each other alone.

...

Two days passed quickly, and with the joint efforts of several people, the taste of the cookies, the decoration, and even the number of customers who came to the restaurant have all increased significantly.

In just one night, the sales record of 'Stuttering Cookie Shop' was broken.

Hayama: "Is that all right?... I'll leave it to you, Miura and Yuigahama."

Miura patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Yui will be fine with me here. Although you are all studying in Totsuki now, you must remember to come back to see us when you are free. Especially you, Hikigaya, don't always pretend to be dead in the dormitory."

As if he had been exposed, Hikigaya just responded awkwardly: "Yes, yes..."

At the same time, Yuigahama also ran out of the store with three boxes of cookies in her hands.

"I know this cookie is nothing to you, not even a 'delicious meal', but I can't repay you for your help now, but... one day, I will definitely repay you."

Yuigahama: "This is from Hayama-san..."

Ye Shan: "Thank you."

Yuigahama: "This is Koyuki's."

Yukinoshita: "I...I don't need to..."

Yuigahama: "You're welcome! I am able to do what I am now because of Koyuki."

Yukinoshita reached out and took the cookie that had just been taken out of the oven. However, the warmth left on her hand made her a little distracted: "Thank you, but don't call me by that name."

Yuigahama: “Hey hey…”

"These two people, their relationship has improved so quickly, they are obviously not the same kind of people at all."

Just as he was stunned, Yuigahama finally walked step by step to Hachiman:

"This is yours, Xiaoqi..." A slight blush appeared on her face, she just lowered her head and stopped talking.

"Actually, there is one for me?"

"Of course! Idiot."

"Thank you."

"Come here more often in the future! Also, let's just let the past pass. I will come to see you more often in the future!"

...

After the unexpected incident over the past two days, Hachiman finally returned to his dormitory, Polaris Dormitory.

However, the next school trip is about to begin.

Chapter 47: Meeting Dojima Gin Again (First Update!)

Even though school trips sound like an entertaining activity, they are actually what every Totsuki student who has just entered high school dreads the most. It is not an exaggeration to even call it a dreaded thing.

At the school trip location, all first-year students have to go through a brutal cooking test, where they have no rest for several days in a row. If they fail, they will be expelled immediately.

Although the flyer praises "improving friendship and affection", in reality it is a cruel elimination training.

"How hypocritical..."

During the training camp a few years ago, the total number of students was reduced to half of what it was before the training camp.

Last year, even though there were many talented people, they still couldn't resist such a tragedy.

It can be said to be the selection of unpolished jade.

Although he had anticipated this and even participated in nearly a month of physical training, at the moment of departure, Hachiman still felt as if his soul had been sucked out.

Marui: "Hey, Hikigaya, how come you are the same as Tadokoro?"

Hachiman held the brochure and said helplessly: "Let alone the time for eating and bathing, isn't the time for sleeping too little?"

Ryoko: "Idiot, why are you still thinking about this?"

Ever since the last Food War, Mito has moved into Polaris Dormitory and helps Hachiman get up early every morning to water the plants, so Hachiman hasn't gotten up early for a long time.

Fortunately, she adapted fairly quickly, and because of her carefree personality, she integrated quite well.

Mito: "No matter what, we must come back together!"

Ibusaki: “Oh!”

Yoshino: “Ouch!”

Hachiman: "Is this some caveman way of cheering yourself up?"

...

After saying a brief goodbye to Grandma Wenxu and Senior Isshiki, the group finally set out on this journey. Thanks to the bus, it only took them half a day to reach their destination.

only..

This school trip is not quite what Hachiman expected.

This is not some desolate mountain or wilderness; it is clearly a palace named "Totsuki".

Yoshino: "As expected of a rich school, it even runs such a high-end hotel."

Mito: "After all, Totsuki is a world-renowned culinary academy. After graduation, they go to different parts of the world and basically become independent chefs."

Ibusaki: "Most of the hotels and inns in this area are under the Totsuki umbrella, and these dozen or so Totsuki Resorts are operating as their flagship."

Marui: "Yes, there are many graduates of the academy working in the cooking department here."

Ryoko: "I heard that it costs 8 yen to stay here for one night."

Just hearing this, Hachiman's eyelids couldn't stop twitching.

"Eighty...eighty thousand...a night."

Although I can understand that there are rich women and rich men in this world, isn’t this a bit too exaggerated? What a damn difference in world views.

Of course, he was not the only one who was shocked. Almost everyone could not understand such a rent price. After all, the monthly rent in Polar Star Dormitory was only 80,000.

Mito was not surprised. After all, it was not uncommon for her to stay in a room that cost 80,000 yuan a night.

"Well, as long as I pass today's exam, I can stay in a hotel that costs 80,000 a night for free. That's pretty good, right?"

"I feel like I've suddenly gained some motivation. I wonder where this motivation came from?"

Ibusaki: "That's true. Let's put down our luggage and gather together as soon as possible."

...

I just walked into the hall, and it’s not as exciting as I imagined. There are thousands of people gathered here, but the atmosphere is very quiet.

With just a glance, Hachiman was sure that they were extremely panicked and had even thought of a way out. This was obviously unhealthy for a school. It would be fine if there were only one or two of them, but now most of the students were feeling this way.

"It seems that this school trip is going to be more troublesome than I thought..."

Most of the students were absent-minded, or even had completely lost confidence. In this state, they did not even notice that Teacher Shepper had come to the podium.

"Buzzing..."

It was not until he picked up the microphone that the students in the hall, as if they had been startled, finally came to their senses.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Now let me briefly explain the general process of the training. The schedule is a total of six days. Of course, the assessment this time will be different from the past. Each course will be divided into different groups."

"Of course, as a chef, the most important thing is cooking. If the results of the cooking tasks that require you to cook for several consecutive days are below the evaluation range set by the instructor, you will be expelled."

"Finally, regarding the topic review part, please invite the guest lecturer to give an explanation."

The students, who had not anticipated what was happening, suddenly opened their mouths wide, with expressions that were incredibly vivid.

"They are Totsuki graduates who took time out of their busy schedules to be here." Following Shepper's words, there was an immediate commotion in the hall.

Yoshino: “Huh?!”

Ibusaki: "It turns out that he is a graduate. This is going to be troublesome."

Tadokoro Megumi: "It's over, it's over, it's over... I'm done."

If Hachiman remembered correctly, Marui once told him that there were only a handful of students who could graduate from Totsuki Academy, and most of them were well-known figures. And now... he just appeared in front of them.

Of course, Hachiman's attention was not on them, because he noticed an existence that shocked him even more.

The guy that Hachiman met at the seafood market when he was in Chiba.

Dojima Silver.

"The one over there, the one in the ninth row, the one with the dead eyes."

Just as Hachiman was thinking this, a Totsuki graduate with red hair and framed glasses pointed his finger at him.

"Is this direction pointing to me? What bad luck."

Although somewhat puzzled, Hachiman still took a step forward, but the Totsuki graduate just said softly:

"Sorry, sorry, the one next to you, yes, that's you, you can drop out of school."

"Huh?" This time it was the student next to Hachiman who was a little confused, but his eyes were already full of panic.

I saw the other party slowly walking over from the podium, and after a quick glance, he said expressionlessly:

"Your shampoo has a citrus smell, which will mess up the taste of the food. As a chef, it is necessary to dress up. Being dirty will make the food look dull. If you don't understand this principle, you are destined to not be a qualified chef."

Chapter 48: Teaming up with Yukinoshita by coincidence (Second update!)

Although I had smelled this strange smell a long time ago, but was it so simple to drive away a person who might surpass me in the future? Is this what they call a school trip?

Amid the student's unwilling cry, the entire hall fell into panic and sympathy. After all, almost half of the students in this hall were going to leave, but...if they were expelled for such a reason, everyone would feel unwilling.

However, Marui behind him was even more admiring. Hey, you were afraid of dropping out of school just now.

"This is Chef Shinomiya, the first Japanese to receive the French Order of Prussia. Not only that... there is also Chef Mizuhara, Chef Kanmori, Chef Mukaiko, and... Chef Gotoda."

Tadokoro Megumi: “Almost all of them are people you can only see in magazines…”

Marui: "Of course, the most amazing one is the one standing on the stage. He got first place in the graduation test and broke the highest score in history. He rejected more than 800 recruitments from high-end restaurants around the world and chose his current position as the head chef and board member of [Totsuki Resort], Gin Dojima."

Marui on the side was already speaking with tears in his eyes, as if after seeing such a scene, he had no regrets in his life.

"Ah, so that's how it is. I've really been tricked."

Although no one knows why Dojima Gin appeared there at that time, his image at that time was obviously an act. However, Hachiman thought that since he could buy seafood at a low price, why not go along with his wishes.

That’s why Ye Shan’s name was mentioned at the end.

But now, Dojima Gin on the stage was looking at him with a faint smile, because of the small accident caused by Chef Shinomiya just now, he saw Bibun in the crowd at a glance.

However, Hachiman is not without a solution. After all, he just needs to pretend not to know him.

The person you know is Hayato Hayama, not me, Hachiman Hikigaya.

As he thought of this, his gaze quickly swept towards Hayato Hayama, and Hayato Hayama seemed to have noticed his gaze and just responded with a faint smile.

After this sudden incident, Dojima Ginya picked up the microphone, looked at the students in the hall, and said with a natural expression:

"Welcome everyone to my [Totsuki Resort]. The graduates gathered here are all graduates who have their own territories. During the six days of your training, you will be given the same treatment as the employees in your own store. You should be able to understand the meaning of this."

"So, from now on, we are no longer students, but superiors and subordinates? Ah, this is really troublesome. I thought I would never be a corporate slave in my life..."

While Hachiman was complaining in his heart, Dojima Gin said again:

"Those who cannot meet our job requirements will be fired. Of course, for you, that means expulsion. So according to the instructor's judgment, expulsion is also possible, just like what you just saw. So next, I wish you all the best."

Just one sentence and everyone became tense. Although he had a kind expression on his face, he could turn into the most terrifying superior at any time. However, Hachiman had seen this too many times.

If Komachi and her father learn from each other and improve each other, then Hachiman, as a waiter and dishwasher, has a younger brother status in the family, which is the so-called family younger brother status.

Although there are not so many rules for them, if there are guests, Hachiman will still consciously perform his duties.

And now, it's the same.

Marui: "Looks like we're going to separate. Everyone, do your best."
