Can you handle my Hikigaya's cooking?

Ibusaki: “I have a bad feeling.”

Ryoko: "Hey, hey, hey, cheer up, maybe this is a prank by Isshiki-senpai. Why are you so pessimistic? We are all back! Be happy!"

It seemed that the only person in the audience who was inspired by Ryoko was Tadokoro Megumi. She placed her hands on her chest and silently encouraged herself:

"Yes!"

Yoshino: "I don't want to complain, but you're too optimistic, Hui."

Tadokoro Megumi: “Oh, is that so?”

He looked at Hikigaya with a puzzled look. Faced with such an innocent gaze, Hachiman found it difficult to deceive such a kind-hearted person like Tanomo Megumi.

“Well, it’s good to be optimistic.”

It seemed like an expected answer. Although the atmosphere was still so heavy, Tansho Kei seemed to have completely forgotten the current situation and just started to become shy.

Yoshino: "Anyway, standing here won't help, let's go in first! Ms. Mito, please take the lead!"

Mito: "Huh? Why me?!"

Yoshino: "Because you look very tough... You must be the type who is fearless."

Mito scratched his head sheepishly for a moment, his eyes just fixed on Hikigaya.

"Well, I don't think that's a compliment, don't be fooled, Mito!"

Although I thought so in my heart, I still nodded honestly.

Seeing Hikigaya nod, Mito's confidence surged instantly. He just took the lead and said confidently:

"That's it! I'm Mito, guys, follow me!"

'It always feels like I'm taking care of a child...'

"Rumble..."

He gently pushed open the old wooden door, but before he entered, Hachiman had already noticed the eye-catching dust. Isn't there someone living here? How could there be dust?

And... the place where Granny Wenxu usually sits is now empty. Could it be that she is resting in the dormitory? No, that's not right! Granny Wenxu is not me, how could she be resting in the afternoon...

Let's not talk about what Isshiki, the seventh of the ten best students, is doing. Anyway, there are only a few places where Granny Wenxu can go. She only needs to look for it...

“There’s no back garden!”

"There's no dormitory!"

"Not in the lobby!"

"Neither in the dining room!"

"No trace, absolutely no trace!"

Marui: "Hey, this place won't turn into a haunted house, will it? Granny Wenxu, has she been swallowed up?!"

Yoshino: "Now that I think about it... I just now noticed that Polaris Dormitory is pretty scary."

"You just noticed it now? Yoshino-san, how slow are your reactions?"

On the first day of moving in, Hachiman already felt that this location was a bit scary...

However, as an absolute believer in materialism, since there is nowhere, the only place I can be is that place.

Hachiman: "Follow me."

There is no need to waste time. According to the clues just now, it has been shown that Granny Wenxu and Senior Isshiki have not left the Pole Star Dormitory in this week, and the flowers and plants in the back garden have not been taken care of. However, there are signs that someone has lived in the bedroom, so...

There is only one possibility that could have trapped them in Polaris Dormitory for so long...

The moment he opened the kitchen door, he heard a familiar voice in Hachiman's ears:

"Isshiki, you've lost for the 29th time."

"This time, I must win this time!"

"Hey, no way..."

Facing this middle-aged man who suddenly broke in, Hachiman wanted to pretend that he didn't know him, but...

"Eh? It's Hachiman! Long time no see."

"Dad..."

“…”

There was a brief silence, followed by an outburst after reaction!

"Dad!"

"???!"

"Wait, what's going on here? There's also Isshiki-senpai."

"I haven't reacted yet...let me take a moment."

"I should be the one who takes it easy. Although Totsuki will not restrict people from entering and leaving, my dad will be very surprised when he sees me."

Although I really want to ask why Shiroichiro appears here, it is obvious that senior Isshiki is currently competing with his father in a cooking competition, and the situation is very tense. This also explains why there is dust accumulated on the door.

But...listening to what his father said just now, even a powerful person like Isshiki-senpai can't beat his own father? In Hachiman's opinion, Joichiro is just a chef in a small restaurant. Compared with the genius student of Totsuki, although he has more experience, his ability is probably not much better.

After a while, Senior Isshiki finally served his dish. Perhaps because he was too serious, his forehead was covered with sweat and his breath was a little unbalanced. Although he had an excited expression on his face,...

"Issue Sensei's normal ability is not fully utilized in this dish."

With just one glance, Hachiman was able to determine the winner of this cooking competition, and the ending was indeed as expected. Under the appraisal of Grandma Wenxu, the cooking competition soon came to an end. Fortunately, Senior Isshiki was not someone who was afraid of losing. Even though he lost the cooking competition, he quickly realized the problem.

only..

"Hey, Isshiki, this means 30 losses!"

"It turns out that this dad is not just like this to Komachi..."

Isshiki accepted the defeat calmly and said: "Mr. Shiroichiro, it's an honor to fight with you. Next time, I will definitely make greater progress!"

The people watching were completely dumbfounded. He easily beat Isshiki-senpai 30 times, and he was Hikigaya's father. Who was this mysterious uncle? !

Granny Wenxu, who was sitting on the stool and couldn't move after eating so much, just looked at everyone reluctantly, and then said excitedly:

"I see. I was wondering why you came back so suddenly. It turns out that Hachiman is your son!"

Joichiro: "No, no, this is just one of the reasons!"

Granny Wenxu: "Stop bragging. You have come back so many times over the years. Even Tang went to look for you and you were nowhere to be found."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you properly yet. The person in front of you is a graduate of Totsuki Academy and Polaris Dormitory, and the second place in the former Ten Elites, Saibajo Ichiro!"

Everyone: "The second place in the original top ten!"

Hachiman: "Saihajiro Ichiro! A graduate of Totsuki?! Second place among the top ten? Wait... I need to slow down..."

Hachiman, who rarely got excited since he was born, rarely showed such emotions. Of course... this was because he had never paid attention to his father. He thought he was just like an ordinary family, but now he found out...

It has absolutely nothing to do with sister control!

Everyone: "Hey, hey? Why are you more excited than us?"

Joichiro: "Don't call your father by his first name!"

Tadokoro Megumi: “There are so many things I don’t understand…”

Hachiman: "And what the hell is Saiba..."

Joichiro: "Come and help cook first. Everyone is hungry. Hachiman, you can cook now, right?"

Hachiman: "Please explain it to me..."

My dad is a graduate of Totsuki, Polaris Dormitory, and the Top Ten. Taking them all in at once... is really exhausting.

And... now I finally understand why my father sent me to this school. There were obviously many choices... but it chose to be the culinary school.

Tadokoro: "Hikigaya-san, are you okay? You seem to be very shaken..."

She reached out her hand with some worry, but found that Hikigaya was completely unable to move and just stood there in a daze. If Yukinoshita saw this, she would definitely laugh at him:

“This time I really turned into a zombie.”

Fortunately, Hachiman has had a strong ability to accept things since he was a child. At Shiroichiro's call, Hachiman slowly shook his body.

Joichiro: "I'll tell you the details later, as well as your sister's admission notice. Now just focus on cooking."

"After all, we've been fighting for so long, and I, your dad, am really hungry."

"It's time for me to see what your current level is."

When he heard Komachi's name, Hachiman came back to his senses instantly as if he had been injected with chicken blood. It was definitely not because of any sister-con reason.

"I'll explain it in detail later."

Chapter 73: Shiroichiro's Arrival Uncovers the Past

Although he has always been aware that his father is unreliable, the current situation has made Hachiman somewhat shaken.

Regardless of the extent of Hachiman's insight, the question is who would play the role of detective and criminal in front of the family members who spend every day with him or her.

Moreover, the existence of a younger sister makes the halo of this damn Joichiro even smaller. If we consider that Hachiman is also a sister-con, then...

It seems like Shiroichiro really has no sense of existence.

That being said, he still did what his father said. After all, it was just a simple matter of preparing dinner.

This seemed to be the first time that Hachiman cooked side by side with his father Shiroichiro. Usually, it was his younger sister Komachi who stood in this position. Only when he really stood next to him did Hachiman feel more and more the oppression brought by Shiroichiro.

"It turns out that Komachi has always lived under such pressure. It's really amazing..."

If it was Hachiman, he would have given up long ago after decades of hardship. After all, the only things that have kept him going since he was a child are two things: sister complex and having no friends.

The two of them were not in a hurry to cook together. Joichiro said that he wanted Hachiman to help, but in fact, with his ability, he could easily handle everything alone. When the two of them were in this delicate situation, Marui on the side seemed to be completely fascinated by Joichiro, and his tired body recovered in just a moment.

So, this is the power of idols...

Ryoko: "Well, if this guy had such courage just now, he probably wouldn't have almost been expelled from school."

Yoshino: “Really…”

Although there are many dishes to make, for Shiroichiro, it only takes a moment to complete multiple dishes at the same time, and just by looking at the color and taste, it is clear that this is definitely a very fine dish.

In the final analysis, Hachiman was just helping out in the kitchen. Although his skills had improved a lot compared to before,...

Trying to keep up with his dad was even more difficult than the school trip from hell. So far, it was the first time that everyone saw Hikigaya panting. After just a dozen minutes, his entire back was soaked with sweat.

"What on earth did this guy do to Komachi? It's really abominable."

Thinking that his current experience was exactly what Komachi had started to accept ten years ago, Hachiman wanted to cast a resentful look at Shiroichiro. Although he had witnessed that scene time and time again when he was in the Hikigaya Hotel, there were some things that could only be understood by experiencing them personally, just like now.

Of course, Shiroichiro's nature remained the same. When he saw Hachiman panting, he simply patted him on the back with his muscular arms and then showed his provocative smile:

"Hachiman, you still need to practice."

For most parents, their teachings are serious and formal, but for Joichiro, this guy's teachings are always said in a very strange way. Although this is the fact, Hachiman can't refute it, but... why does he deserve a beating...

"Yes Yes Yes."

On the side, Megumi Tadokoro, who witnessed all this, quickly took out a blue towel from the bathroom. While the father and son were still bickering, she had unknowingly walked in front of Hikigaya.

"Hey, Hikigaya-san, wipe it off quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

Facing the towel that was suddenly handed to him, he had not noticed Tanshoko's presence because he was bickering with Shiroichiro just now, but now...

It seems that it is completely difficult to refuse.

"Thank you, Tadokoro-san."

"You're welcome! After all, it's not good to have a cold."

Joichiro, who was watching everything from the side, showed another strange smile:

"Oh my, Hachiman, you are really good, you are worthy of being my son."

After hearing what Shiroichiro said, Tanomo Megumi lowered her head in embarrassment, and a faint blush appeared on her innocent cheeks. Hachiman simply ignored his father's words and simply kicked Shiroichiro in the thigh.

Ibusaki: "The way this father and son communicate... is really strange."
