Then Eri Kisaki fixed Chen with a penetrating gaze that seemed to see through everything, making him feel as though she had been completely seen through.
As expected of the Queen—she really was impressive.
"Forget it. Since you're here, come help out. Though with your abilities, you can only wash the vegetables." Chen directly assigned the vegetable-washing to Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo.
They might not know how to cook, but if they could not even wash vegetables, then they really would be useless. They could not possibly be that stupid.
Thus, Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo washed the vegetables, Chen chopped the ingredients and cleaned the fish, while Ran Mouri was solely responsible for cooking. Things went much faster.
"I deserve some credit for this."
Yukiko Kudo looked at the fragrant dishes that had been prepared and spoke up.

"Chen, do you look down on me?" Yukiko Kudo asked him.
"No. What gave you that impression? You're probably just being overly sensitive. I didn't."
"Hmph, do you think I'm an idiot? I could tell at a glance." Yukiko Kudo snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Sorry. I used to think you were an idiot. I truly apologize." Chen spoke to Yukiko Kudo with a remorseful expression.
"You're asking for it." Yukiko Kudo shouted lightly, then picked up a pair of chopsticks beside her and threw them at Chen.
Chen caught the chopsticks and said with a chuckle, "Throwing things around isn't a good habit."
Eri Kisaki looked at Chen and Yukiko Kudo strangely. The way the two of them acted was far too unusual; they did not seem like friends
