Chapter 105 The most important thing is the sentiment, Yukino.
Shinji Kaminaga was very pleased to see Yukino Yukinoshita's pleading eyes.
The fact that Miss Yukinoshita could so naturally ask him for help shows that she already considers herself one of his people and subconsciously relies on him, which is exactly what he wants.
Who could resist a cute girlfriend who knows how to be charming and affectionate?
"Ahem, this problem is actually easy to solve. Just don't cook anymore, Yuihama-san. I can tell you're not good at cooking at all."
"If you're not careful, you'll add weird things in. Now, even if you don't add anything weird, the result is still... ugly."
"Waaah, that's so mean!" Yui Yuigahama cried, her face contorted with grief and tears welling up in her eyes.
Yukino Yukinoshita pinched him playfully, "Where are your usual smooth talkers?! I asked you to find a way to solve the problem of teaching Yui-chan, not to directly eliminate Yui-chan!"
"That's right, Kaminaga-kun is so clueless about romance!" Nishimiya Shoko also stood up to criticize him, while comforting Yui Yuigahama by holding her arm.
Shiina Mahiru gave him a reproachful look, "That's going too far, Kaminaga-kun. How can you talk about a girl like that?"
"Okay, I was just joking to lighten the mood. Now it seems like you guys have a great relationship, and I feel superfluous."
Shinji Kaminaga shrugged, gave the four girls a resentful look, and continued, "But haven't you misunderstood the essence of the problem?"
Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita, Mahiru Shiina, Shoko Nishimiya, and Yui Yuigahama were all stunned.
Yukino Yukinoshita frowned, raised her small hand, and naturally reached for his waist, giving him a light pinch as if she were being affectionate.
"Idiot, stop keeping me in suspense! That's the most annoying thing to do!"
"Exactly, if you see a problem, just say so. Can't you see we're worried about it?"
Nishimiya Shoko took the opportunity to pinch his other waist, and then her eyes lit up.
No wonder Yukino always likes to pinch him, it feels so good!
"Ouch~ Ladies, spare my waist! And—Mahiru, why are you pinching me too? And Yui-san, what are you doing here?"
Shinji Kaminaga feigned a pained expression, rubbing his lower back while looking helplessly at the group of beautiful girls.
Yui Yuigahama stuck out her tongue and replied cutely, "Who told Kaminaga-kun to say I made poison? Humph, how dare they talk about a girl like that!"
Shinji Kaminaga rolled his eyes at her. "You yourself think it's poison, how dare you say that now?"
However, she was a magnanimous person and decided not to argue with this silly girl with the frizzy hair.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, alright?"
"It is certain that Yuihama's cooking skills have improved under your guidance, which is commendable."
"Your efforts have not been in vain. At least, the cookies that Yuihama made now look a little burnt, but they are still edible."
As he spoke, he picked up a cookie and ate it, continuing, "Don't forget, the main purpose of our club activity this time is to teach Yuihama how to make cookies so that she can express her feelings."
"The sentiment behind something is precious enough as long as it's made by hand. I would definitely be happy to receive cookies from Yuigahama-san."
"While practicing until you drop might improve Yuigahama's cooking skills, please don't forget the true purpose of this club activity!"
Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita and the others suddenly realized what was going on.
Yes.
They spent hours trying to figure out how to get Yui Yuigahama to make delicious cookies, forgetting that the event was essentially about getting her to give a thank-you gift.
Now, although the cookies don't look very appetizing, they've all seen her efforts, which is enough to express their feelings.
Watching someone who isn't good at cooking overcome difficulties under their guidance and eventually create an edible dish is a rare achievement.
Having figured this out, Yukino Yukinoshita turned to look at Yui Yuigahama, who seemed to be deep in thought.
"So? Yuihama-kun, Kaminaga-kun said so, what do you think?"
Yui Yuigahama nodded vigorously, and her gaze toward Shinji Kaminaga held a hint of gratitude.
"That's fine, I think it's good enough."
As she spoke, she straightened up and bowed deeply to Yukino and the others.
"Thank you for practicing with me, I will remember this for the rest of my life!"
Yukino Yukinoshita waved her hand, "It was nothing, and we did gain something from it."
At least when it comes to expressing their feelings, that idiot Kaminaga taught them a profound lesson.
In the future, perhaps she won't have to worry about giving gifts anymore.
He'll probably like anything she gives him.
After all, as long as the sentiment is there, it will bring joy.
"Yuihama-san, what about me? Aren't you going to thank me?"
Shinji Kaminaga chuckled and teased her, "Without me convincing Yukino and the others, you'd be training until you die! Don't doubt Yukino's determination; she's the type to keep her word!"
"Well, of course I should thank you too, but I still remember Kaminaga-kun saying my dish was poisonous. Humph, I'll save this thank you for now, I'm not giving it to you now!"
Yui Yuigahama said arrogantly, and even glared at him with her head held high.
Shinji Kaminaga shook his head with amusement. "Well, you're quite vengeful. I'll look forward to seeing when you'll finally show your gratitude. Ouch~—Yukino, why are you pinching me again!"
"Hmph, don't you dare say dirty things to Yuihama-san, or else—you know the consequences."
A little jealous, Yukino Yukinoshita said tsunderely as she turned around, "Let's pack up the materials. We have to clean it up before we leave."
Shinji Kaminaga rubbed his waist, not saying much, just looking at them with gentle eyes.
Yui Yuigahama secretly glanced back at him, playfully stuck out her tongue, and made a face at him, implying that she still held a grudge.
She'll remember being told her cooking was poisonous for the rest of her life!
After tidying up the materials and cleaning the cooking room, Yukino Yukinoshita took the lead and led everyone out the door, then locked it.
"Let's go, that's all for today's club activities."
"Although I still think that with Yuihama's cooking skills, she should keep practicing and develop muscle memory in order to achieve results."
Yui Yuigahama shook her head like a rattle drum, and her dumpling hairstyle swayed along with it.
"No, Yukinoshita-san, I'm already very satisfied with what I've accomplished so far. I'll give you a thank-you gift tomorrow, please be sure to accept it."
Yukino Yukinoshita's face stiffened. She tried to refuse tactfully: "Actually, we've already received your kindness. You're not good at cooking, but you've worked so hard to practice with us. As for cookies, I probably don't really want to eat them."
Yui Yuigahama grasped her hand earnestly and said, "No, I absolutely must give you a thank-you gift. I want to properly express my gratitude through this present. Please, please accept it!"
"Okay, then—"
Yukino Yukinoshita had no choice but to agree.
What she's least good at is dealing with people like Yui Yuigahama who are naturally outgoing.
But she was both sincere and enthusiastic, and had previously confessed that she had bravely admitted her mistakes and decided to correct them. It was impossible for her to refuse such a kind offer.
At worst, she would accept the gift and give the cookies to Kamen Rider.
Shinji Kaminaga: Thank you, Yukino.
