"Kamikawa-san, are you a genius at cooking?"
Seeing the steaming meat buns on the plate, Nino asked in amazement.
Earlier, she briefly taught Ren how to make meat buns, before giving him detailed instructions, Ren learned from her and successfully made them.
"No, I just have a strong learning ability."
Ren continued to use this excuse to explain.
This was how he deceived Mafuyu before, and if he used it again now, there shouldn't be any problem.
"That's true."
Asumi and Nino easily believed this explanation.
Judging from his ordinary appearance, it indeed seemed like he had a strong learning ability.
His test scores in every subject were truly average.
If he said his learning ability was poor, no one would believe it.
"Try it."
This was the first time Ren cooked with his own hands, and he hadn't used his superpowers, so he didn't know how it tasted.
"Sure."
Saying this, Asumi split the meat bun he made in half and handed half to Nino.
"It's very hot."
After biting into it, Nino's first feeling was heat, and she didn't even taste it.
"It tastes very ordinary."
After eating it, Asumi gave her own assessment.
Because Ren didn't accidentally lie or praise when he evaluated Mafuyu and the dishes she cooked, now, Asumi chose to tell the truth.
"It's quite ordinary, but since it's your first time making meat buns, and it's pretty good to make them like this."
After the meat bun cooled for a while, Nino bit into it again, and this time she could taste it.
"By the way, a meat bun this size is ready to be given to Itsuki, and no matter how many you make, she'll definitely eat them all."
For the meat bun monster, she'll surely eat all the meat buns made by Ren with gratitude.
It doesn't matter what it tastes like, what matters is the thought.
"Thank you, I will continue to practice."
After receiving an average evaluation, he certainly won't continue, but will maintain the current average level.
But this is a gift for Itsuki, so meat buns that meet the usual standard are clearly not enough.
At the very least, Ren wants Itsuki to truly say that it tastes good.
"In that case, I'll teach you carefully again!"
Seeing that he decided to continue practicing, Nino followed suit.
After teaching Miku, a very difficult student, she finally met someone who was easy to teach, so it's natural that she wants to live a good life as a teacher.
"I'll help too." Asumi agreed.
"In that case, let's continue!"
Nino was quite satisfied with the current atmosphere and said very happily.
·······
Soon, three hours passed.
"I can't eat anymore."
Leaning back in the chair, barely maintaining a sitting position, Asumi pushed the meat bun she had made in front of Nino again.
During this time, they had both worked hard to be tasters, and they had seen with their own eyes that Ren's meat buns had changed from ordinary to delicious, and then to extraordinary.
After that, they lost the ability to evaluate food and couldn't distinguish whether the food was good or bad.
Because they ate too much.
Although Asumi only ate half each time and gave the other half to Nino, she couldn't stop Ren from continuously doing so.
Moreover, she was just a girl and not a big eater.
And to help her taste it, she even stopped learning how to make meat buns from scratch.
"Ah... sorry, I have something to do at home, so I'll go now."
Nino took out her phone, pretended to look at the time, stood up, and walked towards the door.
During this process, she didn't even glance at the meat buns on the table.
She almost vomited after eating the meat buns, and felt that she would never want to eat meat buns again in her life.
If she knew earlier, she shouldn't have agreed to continue helping.
"Do you need me to escort you back?" Ren asked.
Nino had helped him a lot, so as a token of appreciation, he had to give it to her.
"No, sorry Kouhai-kun, I'll just accompany Nino back."
Saying this, Asumi took her school bag and quickly followed Nino.
"Senpai, are you coming back so early?"
He still planned to compensate Asumi, but now that she had left, compensation could only be discussed in the morning.
"It's already late. If I don't go back, my father will worry."
Asumi didn't want to help him taste the food at all, so she could only use her father as a shield.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Ren said goodbye.
"See you tomorrow."
"Goodbye."
Asumi and Nino each responded, then quickly opened the door and walked out.
"Is it tasty?"
Seeing everything was gone, Ren ate the meat buns he had just made, and gave his own assessment.
Then, he returned to the kitchen and continued making meat buns.
Actually, it was very easy for him to make delicious meat buns, he just needed to use some superpowers like [God of Cooking] and [Delicious Bonus].
As long as he used his superpowers, it wouldn't be a problem even if he wanted to make golden glowing meat buns.
But does a meat bun like that count as his own creation?
Superpowers belong to him, and logically, it should be considered as meat buns made by him.
But ordinary people don't have superpowers, so he wants to make delicious meat buns for Itsuki without using superpowers.
As long as he continues to practice, he believes he can still do it.
He is very confident in himself.
Then another question arises, after Nino and Asumi are gone, who should he ask for help to taste it?
*****
Hearing a knock on the door, Miharu opened the door and saw Ren standing in front of the door, holding a plate with four meat buns in it.
"Kamikawa-san, are you here to see Onee-sama?" She asked hesitantly.
"I'm here to see you." Ren asked softly, "Have you had dinner?"
Mafuyu and Miharu were the people he chose to help taste the meat buns.
"Not yet, I'm working on it now." Miharu answered honestly.
"These are the meat buns I made. Can you help me taste them?"
After getting the answer he wanted, Ren lifted the plate in front of Miharu and asked for her help.
