[Black Basket] Warm Mist

If someone firmly believes that a genius must be particularly good at cooking, then this person will definitely lose in front of Hasegawa Shiho.

At first, Kagami and Mitobe didn't dare to act rashly because they were standing in other people's kitchens. They just helped beat the hands, cut meat and vegetables.But when Hasegawa Shiho fried the first dish, the two boys decided to take back the right to cook.

It's not that Hasegawa Shiho's cooking skills are poor, but that her cooking skills are indeed inferior to those of Kagami and Mitobe who are good at this dish, and can only be considered average.Since there are higher-level cooking experts here, naturally there is no need for half a bottle of vinegar to cook.Therefore, Mitobu was in charge of soup and cold dishes, and Kagami took the initiative to take over the work of cooking.

With the double insurance of Kagami and Mitobe, lunch can't be unpalatable—unless Aida Reiko sneaked into the kitchen to join in the fun.

Although Aida Reiko did try to break through herself and run to the kitchen several times, her ambition was ruthlessly crushed by the captain and other third-year members.

When the Vulcan wearing a bear apron brought the last plate of vegetables, Hasegawa Shiho had already served rice for everyone, and Mitobe's soup pot was placed in the center of the dining table.

Everything was ready, and the people with the table and chopsticks neatly placed in front of them clapped their hands gratefully, and said in unison: "Thank you for the hospitality! Then I will start!"

Hinata picked up some celery and put it in his mouth: "Wow! This celery is super crispy! Hasegawa-sister is a good cook!"

Hasegawa Shiho looked up at the vegetable fried celery: "Oh, that's made by Vulcan-senpai."

Hinata: "...Huh?"

Yiyue picked up a piece of tempura and put it in her mouth: "Wow! The tempura was fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! This must be made by Hasegawa-san, right?"

Hasegawa Shiho said indifferently: "Oh, it was made by Vulcan-senpai."

Yi Yue: "...uh!"

Muji cautiously looked around, and then picked up a chopstick to mix cold jellyfish: "... Well, the wonderful combination of vinegar and soy sauce is refreshing and chewy—I didn't expect Xiao Zhisui to master the seasoning of cold dishes well. So spot on."

Hasegawa Shiho continued to poke the rice in the bowl listlessly: "Oh, it was tuned by Mitobe-senpai."

Muji: "...haha."

The other club members crowded around the table silently looked at the self-defeating Hinata, Itsuki, and Muji: We understand that you want to spare no effort to praise the junior girls to feel the warmth of the big family of the Seirin Basketball Club, but can I ask you Can you accurately convey this feeling to Hasegawa-senpai?

Kuroko, who was sitting opposite Hasegawa Shiho, picked up a piece of limp tomato from a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "Mmm... this is delicious."

Hasegawa Shiho's eyes brightened slightly: "Really?" Thinking of the blow she received in the kitchen just now, she became depressed again, "But Vulcan-senpai said that I fried the tomatoes for too long, and the tomatoes would turn into tomato sauce .”

With condemnation and warning in their eyes, everyone's eyes stabbed fiercely at the culprit Vulcan.It's a pity that the latter was eating deliciously with the rice piled up like a hill, and didn't receive any signal at all.Knowing that they can't compete with Vulcan, Hinata, Itsuki and Kiyoshi hurriedly acted quickly to make up for the previous misjudgment. Three pairs of chopsticks pounced on the most unremarkable plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes at the same time.

"Not bad!"

"Tomatoes, I like to eat them!"

"tasty!"

With these three people leading the charge, Aida Reiko and the others stretched out their chopsticks as if in a dream, and they divided up the whole plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in one fell swoop.

In the end, Aida Reiko concluded: "Xiao Zhiho's cooking skills are much better than mine! It's amazing!"

——Coach, why are you so honest? !

The members of Seirin who had been abused by Reiko Aida were all shocked by her rare humility.

"However," Muji interrupted suddenly, smiling brightly and carelessly, "Sure enough, girls who can cook are more popular, right? Reiko, please do your best!"

Aida Reiko also laughed: "Hey! I don't care about smelly boys!"

——Coach, your expression is not as relaxed as you said!

The timid boys were too scared to make a sound by the dark expression on Aida Reiko's face.

Fortunately, Vulcan came to the rescue: "Really? I don't feel that way, because many American girls don't know how to cook." He didn't deliberately lie to comfort Aida Reiko, but put him in a realistic way. According to the experience in the United States, "There are still boys chasing them."

Heizi also said: "Personally, I don't think knowing how to cook is not the best criterion for judging a girl."

Aida Reiko's complexion improved.

Since it was a celebration party, everyone's emotions were relatively high.The nerves that have been tense for a long time can finally relax a little bit, and everyone's topic quickly cuts into the popularity of everyone in the basketball team.

As soon as we talked about this, Xiao Jinjing became interested: "Hehehe, the most popular person in our basketball club is Yi Yue, because he is recognized as a cold-faced handsome guy!"

Even Hasegawa Shiho had to agree with Koganei.She commented frankly: "Indeed. After all, it is rare to see a standard classic beauty face like Senior Yi Yue, and it is expected that it will be popular."

Hearing this, Heizi blankly picked up a raw broccoli for decoration from the cold platter, and quietly put it into Yiyue's bowl.

Yiyue, who didn't notice Heizi's movements, raised her tail tremblingly: "So-so."

Hinata curled his lips: "He's still a 'cold-faced handsome guy', he's just a 'regret handsome guy'." With a few words, he shook off Yi Yue's old background, "In the first grade, some girls chased after him, But most people left after reading his bad joke book. Disillusionment or something needs to be so fast, and the classic beauty face can't save his wretched heart."

Itsuki was sunk.

Full of bitterness, he buried his head and pulled a few mouthfuls of rice, but he ate a mouthful of raw broccoli: "...What is this?!"

Heizi calmly explained his doubts: "Senior Yiyue accidentally put the garnishes from the cold platter into the bowl just now."

Yiyue waved her chopsticks violently: "Heizi! Why didn't you remind me after you saw it?!"

Heizi said innocently, "I thought Senior Yiyue liked to eat raw broccoli."

Yi Yue said helplessly: "Who would like this kind of thing... Hey, wait! I said you didn't mean it on purpose, did you?" He looked at Heizi suspiciously, "Deliberately didn't remind me, or... it was you in the first place. Put it in a bowl for me?"

Heizi said calmly, "How is that possible? Besides, doesn't senior Yi Yue have the eyes of a vulture?"

Seeing that Yiyue and Heizi were fighting, Xiao Jinjing resolutely abandoned Yiyue: "Okay, let's not mention the handsome handsome guy. Then, excluding Yiyue, the most popular person in our basketball club is Muji. He received more than a dozen copies on Valentine's Day." Destiny Chocolate!"

Muji laughed: "So it's called 'Benming Chocolate'? I've learned a lot."

Hasegawa Shiho said that this answer is acceptable: "Indeed. Kiyoshi-senpai is a good boy with a gentle heart. He has a dignified appearance and a hearty atmosphere. It is normal for girls to like him."

A certain prank master wanted to repeat the trick again.

But Muji relied on his keen intuition (?) to see through Heizi's plot, and used his own chopsticks to support his pair of chopsticks that had already reached the cold platter: "Don't think I don't know—it's not possible this time, Hei, son, lord."

Heizi regretfully stopped.

Reiko Aida thought for a while, and then offered a different opinion: "I think Mikoto is the most popular person in our basketball club, right? There were two boys fighting for her last year... Well, although Xiao Shiho is also very Just welcome."

Heizi paused for a moment.

Hasegawa Shiho was confused: "...Huh?"

Aida Reiko said with a smile: "Xiao Zhiho, don't think that those stinky boys hate you if they don't talk to you! They're just at the mercy of their pathetic self-esteem, and they don't want to lose to girls in certain aspects."

Hasegawa Shiho was even more confused: "...lose?"

Muji explained: "If girls act too aggressively, boys will also be afraid. For example, academic performance and the like."

Hasegawa Shiho finally understood what they meant: "Well, I know that the reason I was rejected by everyone is because of my good academic performance. I have been like this since I was a child. But it doesn't matter, I'm used to it."

——School girl!What the hell are you going to do with your domineering speech?We are under a lot of pressure, okay?

Some seniors with mediocre grades are secretly sad.

While chatting, the topic turned to love in a strange way.

Xiao Jinjing, who suddenly remembered something, asked, "Fu Qi, I remember that you said that the girl you like asked you to get the first place in a certain field? How are you doing now?"

Jiang Qi suddenly lost his appetite: "...it failed before confessing. She...she has a boyfriend! Woooooo!"

"Eh--?!"

The boys who listened to the follow-up were stunned.

Then someone comforted him and said, "Don't be sad, there are good girls everywhere, you can just grab them. Jiang Qi is not bad, you don't have to worry about finding a better girlfriend than her."

Only Reiko Aida paid the most attention: "...I said, which field is her boyfriend number one in?"

The boys all came to their senses: "Yes, it must be number one in a certain field!"

Jiang Qi said dejectedly: "It shouldn't be... woo, that's why I'm sad..."

"Eh? How is it possible?" The boys were stunned again, "Isn't she looking for a boy who can get the first place in a certain field? Why did she go against her promise? She gave others hope, but broke it with her own hands. This kind of girl is inevitable." It's too bad!"

Aida Reiko was stunned: "It's not that you want to..."

Unexpectedly, Hasegawa Shiho's answer was faster than her: "Girls are not as simple as the seniors imagined."

A few boys who had never dated girls humbly asked for advice: "...for example?"

Hasegawa Shiho did not give an example, but said to Fuqi through a few people in the middle: "Actually, senior Fuqi doesn't understand the other party's thoughts, right? In the hearts of us girls, the person you like is always the first, even if he It doesn't matter if you fail. When the girl that senior Jiang Qi likes says 'I hope you can be the first in a certain area', unless she wants to encourage senior Jiang Qi, this sentence is equivalent to a polite rejection .Because Senior Jiang Qi didn't understand the meaning of that girl's words, so we can't blindly blame her. No one can blame anyone for how things turned out like this."

The boys half understood: "It sounds reasonable..."

If Heizi realizes something.

Tsuchida, who has already made a girlfriend, added to Hasegawa Shiho's point of view: "My girlfriend often says that I am the best boy she has ever seen. Although I know this is impossible, every time I hear it Everyone feels very happy!"

——Stop showing off girls, you envious of the dead!

The other members who have been single for more than ten years are collectively frustrated and succumbed.
