'what is his relationship with her?' Tadokoro thought as she felt something strange, making her clench her chest.
"well...she is my childhood friend, that I haven't met in a long time.....we are just trying to keep up with each other" hideo answered Nonchalantly.
"Really? With that erina?" They said as if they they can't believe it.
"Ahem! Anyway....enough of that. Do you guys need my help?" Hideo said as he looks at them doing the fields.
"We just finished and tadokoro made some onigiri for us! Do you want to eat some?" Isshiki said with a smile.
"Oh...I want to try it!" Hideo said then walked up to a basket full of onigiri. Picking up one, he tasted it and was impressed.
'In the anime they praised it so much, but it really does taste good...'
Tadokor looks at him, waiting for his opinion.
"Mm! It's delicious! Tadokoro....you should be more confident to yourself. You have have a good talent"
Tadokoro smiled brightly as she was praised by hideo.
Going back to the dormitory, as they have nothing to do hideo experimented some food and made them taste it. Yukihira asked hideo to come with him as he wants to go visit some club activities he could join. Hideo accepted it and went to see some clubs. Yukihira picked the don rs club to visit.
As they go in, he saw someone runs up to him and tried to hug him.
"Hideo, why did you dodge it! That hurts Anyway..... Thank you for saving my don rs club! Are you here to join the club?" The guy with a long french bread looking hair said.
A/n: his name is kanichi konishi.
"No, I'm not here to join...I came because my friend wants to visit some clubs to join"
"Good evening! I'm yukihira soma"
"Oh, good evening to you too! Now, come in and have some tea!" Konishi said as he guides them inside the room.
Yukihira started to look around the room, reading the recipes while asking some questions to konishi. Hideo enjoyed this relaxing environment while reading some recipes while talking to soma.
Suddenly, the door opened as someone came in yelling..."where is hideo!"
"Good evening my 'girlfriend'. Did you kiss me already?"
"I-I came here to say something...can we talk in private?" Ikumi said with a blush.
Hideo nodded then followed her
"What is it? Ikumi?"
"I-it's just that.....since we are already dating. Can We exchange contacts?" Ikumi said shyly as she hid her face with her phone.
"Iiyo! Here!" Hideo said then took her phone. He put his numbers on her phone than gave it back.
"I named myself 'boyfriend <3' in the contacts."
Ikumi nodded while blushing.
"Thank you!" She screamed while she run away as she felt her heart beating crazily whenever she is near hideo.
'Am I really in love with him? My heart is beating like crazy...it's so hard to talk to him' she said in her mind as she clench her chest.
Hideo watched her run with a smile as he found her shy behavior cute. Going back to the don rs club room, they continued talking to each other.
"What did ikumi said?" Curious about what happened konishi can't help, but ask.
"Ahh, well she said asks me to exchange contacts with her"
"Are you sure? That ikumi did?" Shocked by this event, he couldn't believe that ikumi would approach hideo herself.
"Well....hideo is really charismatic and he is good at cooking, so it's only natural for a woman to fall for him" souma said honestly as he close the book that he read.
"You're right, if I was a girl I would fall for this guy too"
'How do I take their compliment?' Hideo thought as he never really got complimented by a guy before. If a girl complimented him he would just go for her, but with a guy? He hasn't had anyone compliment him.
Hideo decided to stay silent as he sips his tea.
After hanging out on the club, hideo and souma went back to their dormitory.
The next day, as they are doing their field work. They noticed someone walking around outside the dormitory. Hideo knew who it is and grinned.
"H-hideo!" Alice said excitedly as she saw hideo sitting on the bench drinking some tea.
"Why didn't you tell me that you are here? I haven't met you ever since we are kids!" Alice said with a bright smile.
"How did you know that I'm here? Alice"
"Well, you were being pretty infamous here in school and I found out about your dorm through erina!"
"Is that so? Are you still in good relationship with erina?" Hideo asks her as he is curious about their relationship, since in the anime they are in a pretty bad relationship.
"No! We are not!" Suddenly someone cut off their conversation, It was erina.
"keh! erina! why are you here?"
"I knew you were gonna go here, hisako told me that you asks her where hideo is...what are you doing here?" erina asks alice
"I'm here to meet an old friend! right? hideo-kun!" alice said as she gaze at hideo
"well... let's calm down and have some tea....let's talk about ourselves!" hideo said and guided them towards his room
"sorry guys I got to go talk with my old friends!"
hideo said then spent time talking with erina and the others.
