Amasawa, Could You Please Throw Away the Cooking Utensils I Just Used?

Back in the dormitory, Shuichi Kanda opened the door, while Amasawa took the bag from Sudo's hand.

"Thank you, Sudo- senpai. You can go back and wait for news now."

Before Sudo could say another word, Amasawa closed the door and refused him entry.

"Excuse me—ah, although I didn't say it earlier, Kanda- senpai's room is very clean, and it smells nice, just like a girl's room—"

Haha, thank you so much for the compliment.

Well, this is largely thanks to Kamuro and the others who often come to help with cleaning, especially Ichinose, who is really adept at all kinds of housework.

"Thank you for the compliment." Shuichi Kanda accepted Amasawa's praise without hesitation. "Do you eat fish with rice?"

"What about Kanda- senpai's suggestion?"

"I suggest you get it."

"Thank you very much."

Shuichi Kanda placed the ingredients in the sink, then took off his coat and tie, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his somewhat muscular arms.

"Make yourself some coffee if you want; the TV remote is on the computer desk."

Shuichi Kanda then took out his phone, intending to put it on the table, a scene that Amasawa, of course, witnessed.

"Kanda- senpai is really confident, isn't he? He didn't even think to look up a tutorial online?"

Do you think I was joking when I said I'm good at Chinese cuisine?

After glancing at Amasawa, Shuichi Kanda first poured out the water from the plastic bag, then took out rice from the cupboard, rinsed it several times, added an appropriate amount of water, put it into the rice cooker, turned it on, and then left it alone.

Next comes the preparation of Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish. This dish isn't particularly difficult, but it's definitely not that simple either.

Preparing this fish requires considerable knife skills, and Shuichi Kanda doesn't usually cook this kind of thing. However, Shuichi Kanda practiced, so a mere Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish is no problem for him.

After checking all the new kitchen utensils Amasawa had bought, Shuichi Kanda nodded. They were not bad. Although the kitchen knife was a relatively narrow type, at least it was usable.

But why did this guy buy a fruit knife? What's he going to do with that?

The carp, now deprived of water, was much more docile than before. Shuichi Kanda took it out, stunned it with a kitchen knife, then scraped off its scales, removed its internal organs, and cleaned it thoroughly.

Next came the preparation: cutting off the fish head, removing the teeth, then removing the bones and belly, and making decorative cuts. Although Shuichi Kanda long time, he still handled it with ease.

"Wow, Kanda- senpai is amazing!"

Amasawa's sudden voice made Shuichi Kanda glance at her, then she coated the fish with flour, deep-fried it, and after the fish was fried, Shuichi Kanda began to prepare the sauce, stir-frying the sauce.

Finally, pour the heated sauce over the plated fish, and sprinkle with the prepared shrimp and peas. The Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish is now ready.

Because it had been a long time since he had made such a complicated dish, Shuichi Kanda spent quite a bit of time on it, and the rice also needed some time to cook, so Shuichi Kanda deliberately controlled the pace.

After washing his hands, Shuichi Kanda wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh.

Then, a bowl of rice was served, along with the squirrel-shaped Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish.

Looking at the steaming mandarin fish in front of him, Amasawa subconsciously swallowed.

Although she hadn't tasted it yet, the sweet aroma of the tomato sauce told her that this dish must be delicious. Not only was it fragrant, but its shape was also perfect. If it tasted good, it would be a dish that was perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

To think he could make such a dish! Not only did he have three A+ grades, but his culinary skills were also so superb. Amasawa Ichika couldn't help but think even more highly of Shuichi Kanda.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Seeing that Amasawa was somewhat lost in thought, Shuichi Kanda couldn't help but urge him on.

"Oh dear, you're so eager for me to eat this, could it be that it's been drugged?"

This guy has no sense of propriety; he says whatever comes to mind.

"Oh right, I drugged it, so do you want some?" Shuichi Kanda was too lazy to explain. Damn it, you were watching me the whole time I was cooking, how could I have had time to drug it?

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Amasawa picked up his chopsticks, clasped his hands together, and said loudly, "Let's eat!"

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he turned to Shuichi Kanda: "Oh, right, Kanda, could you peel an apple for me? You bought one, right? I specifically asked you to."

Shuichi Kanda was speechless. So the fruit knife was for me to peel fruit? Couldn't you have just bought a peeler? That thing is cheap and easy to use.

And peeling apples before eating them? Who taught you to be so wasteful? Koreans even eat watermelon rinds, so what's wrong with eating an apple peel?

Despite thinking this to himself, Shuichi Kanda still took out a decent-looking apple and peeled it for her with his "Amasawa- specific" fruit knife.

On the other side, Amasawa looked at the squirrel-shaped Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish with some difficulty.

"Kanda's work is so beautiful, I don't even know where to begin!"

Despite saying that, the guy still broke off a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Mmm~ So delicious!"

Upon hearing Amasawa's evaluation, Shuichi Kanda was peeling an apple next to him, smiled. Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish is a dish from Su Cuisine, which tends to be sweet and sour, so it's normal for girls to like it.

Even if Shuichi Kanda hadn't tasted this dish, he knew it must be delicious!

There's no way around it, I'm just that confident!

After that, Amasawa, like a cat that had tasted fish, ate the whole fish clean with rice, even eating two bowls of rice, leaving Shuichi Kanda speechless.

She's so thin, where is she going to put all these things?

At least Shuichi Kanda felt he couldn't possibly eat that much. That fish weighed at least two pounds, and even after processing, there was still a pound of leftover ingredients. Plus, she ate two bowls of rice!

"Thank you for the hospitality!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Amasawa's face.

Shuichi Kanda then collected the bowls, chopsticks, and plates, preparing to clean up.

"Won't you listen to my opinion, Kanda?" Amasawa tilted his head and asked curiously.

"No need. Your expression just now said it all."

Shuichi Kanda said lazily, "Making that dish required concentration, both when cutting the ingredients and when frying it, and I'm really tired now."

"Kanda- senpai seems a little tired, let me tidy up."

Are you sure?

Shuichi Kanda eyebrow.

"It's okay, it's okay. I insisted you cook. Let me do it. You must have been so focused on cooking, senior. You must have been tired."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Shuichi Kanda didn't stand on ceremony; after washing his hands, he sat down.

"By the way, so what was your result?"

"Didn't Kanda already know that?" Amasawa said with a mischievous grin as he rinsed the plate with water.

"Yes, I know, but I'll only feel at ease if you tell me it yourself." Shuichi Kanda leaned back in his chair, watching Amasawa wash the dishes.

Amasawa was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Of course I'll pass! Kanda's Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish is really delicious. I'll agree to team up with Sudo- senpai, don't worry!"

Shuichi Kanda smiled. Although this girl had a terrible personality, she was still quite frank. If she had said that the dish she had just eaten was not good, Shuichi Kanda have immediately put on his Black Belt and made her vomit everything she had just eaten.

Chapter 293 Junior Sister Amasawa, could you please throw away the kitchen utensils I just used?

After tidying up his things, Amasawa nodded in satisfaction, then walked over to Shuichi Kanda's side, picked up his phone in front of Shuichi Kanda, and directly sent a team request to Sudo.

Once the application is submitted, as long as Sudo accepts the application before midnight today, the two people can successfully form a team.

Moreover, once an application is submitted, the applicant cannot submit a second application on the same day, but can receive and accept applications from others during this period.

Sudo was participating in a Basketball club activity, was unexpectedly a little distracted, glancing at his phone which he had placed on the lounge chair from time to time.

Then, after a training session, Sudo took a short break and subconsciously picked up his phone, but no notification message from OAA appeared.

Just as he was about to put his phone down in disappointment and rehydrate, a message suddenly popped up on his screen—a notification from the application OAA.

With excitement, Sudo opened it and, as expected, it was a team-up request from Amasawa Ichika of Class 1-A.

"Yay!"

Sudo couldn't help but shout it out, while Komiya Class 2-D and a member of the Basketball Club, was stunned for a moment, wondering why Sudo was so excited.

"What's wrong, Sudo? You seemed a bit distracted earlier."

At that moment, a third-year student walked over carrying a ball.

"Actually, it's about this Special Exam. I've already found a partner who can help me pass."

"Really? Congratulations!"

The third-year Basketball club members weren't very familiar with the Special Exam for first and second-year students, but judging from Sudo's demeanor, he seemed to have succeeded without a doubt.

For him, Sudo's survival was advantageous, as it meant he would have an ace up his sleeve for the Summer Tournament.

Meanwhile, Komiya, who was in the same grade, was a little envious. Sudo, who had an E grade in academics, had already found a partner. Class A must have done a lot behind the scenes. This matter needed to be reported to Ryuen.

Meanwhile, in Shuichi Kanda's dormitory, Amasawa Ichika, who had just submitted her application, immediately discovered that it had been accepted.

"Oh my, Sudo- senpai has actually accepted."

"Really? Maybe it just happened to be during the club activity break." Shuichi Kanda smiled. "By the way, there's something I'd like to ask of you, Amasawa- senpai."

"Does Kanda- senpai need my help with something?"

Amasawa tilted his head, somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm, you've already tidied up your personal kitchen utensils, right? Could you please throw them away for me?"

Amasawa's expression froze. Throw, throw away... What does that mean?

Didn't I say these are my personal kitchen utensils?

"Um, did I hear that right? Kanda wants me to throw all that stuff away? That stuff cost over 20,000 Private Points!"

Amasawa pointed incredulously to the kitchen utensils she had just tidied up, including kitchen knives, cutting boards, fruit knives, chopsticks, bowls, and plates.

"That's right, that's exactly it. After all, I don't have anywhere to put it here, and Junior Sister Amasawa probably won't have a second chance to come. Of course, if Junior Sister Amasawa wants to use it, feel free to take it. It's just 20,000 Private Points, I don't care at all."

Shuichi Kanda said with a smile.

"Is my senior really that opposed to me coming over for dinner?"

Amasawa's expression twisted in disbelief. How could someone be like this?! Turning their back on you the moment the team was formed—was this some kind of ungrateful act?

"After all, this is only our first meeting, and this is just a transaction, isn't it?"

"But I've become so dependent on my senior's cooking that I can't live without it."

Amasawa put on a very pitiful look, with tears even glistening in his eyes.

"I don't care, anyway, Amasawa, you should go back."

Hearing Shuichi Kanda's unequivocal refusal, Amasawa looked like he was questioning the meaning of life.

"Kanda- senpai, am I not cute enough?"

"No, if we're just talking about looks, you're still quite cute." Shuichi Kanda wasn't lying; Amasawa's face was very delicate, and he was quite handsome.

"How could you say such heartless things to a cute girl so casually?" Amasawa once again put on a very aggrieved and pitiful look.

It has to be said that for the average guy, like Chi or Sotomura, it would be impossible to resist Amasawa's cuteness.

However, Shuichi Kanda doesn't fall for that, or rather, he doesn't fall for her charms. If it were Kamuro and the others using their coquettishness, Shuichi Kanda probably wouldn't be able to resist.

Because I don't love, I feel nothing.

However, no matter how pitiful Amasawa tried to appear, Shuichi Kanda simply smiled in response.

Finally, Amasawa realized that the person in front of him wasn't buying it at all, so he pouted and looked at Shuichi Kanda with displeasure.

"Kanda- senpai is an idiot!"

Then he packed everything he had just bought into the plastic bag that Shuichi Kanda had specifically left behind.

After finishing the installation, Amasawa closed the door and made a face at Shuichi Kanda before leaving.

"Oops~~ Kanda- senpai is an idiot!"

Shuichi Kanda shook his head as he watched Amasawa close the door and leave.
