Chapter 248 - Please Join my cooking club

We walked to the cafeteria and I looked at the menu...

Tenchi: what the hell is this

I ask the lunch lady gorilla

LunchLady: what's wrong

Tenchi: why don't you have any cooked food, all of it is just plane vegetables and fruit and raw meat

LunchLady: Why?

Ranka a cute short pink wolf-beastgirl with wolf ears looked confused

Ranka: whats wrong with the food? it tastes good

Everyone looked at Tenchi like he was crazy

Tenchi: what's going on...I thought they all were evolved

Everyone just stared at Tenchi who was shouting earlier

one of the dinosaurs teachers came and screamed: hey you're making a disturbance hurry and get your food or I'll eat you

Everyone got scared but Tenchi was upset at a different reason

Tenchi: Shut up you failure of an instructor

The cafeteria froze

Dinosaur teacher face went close to Tenchi and breathed heavily: What right do you have to say

Ranka ears and tail were flocked down with fear

Tenchi: The school is supposed to provide a nutritional meal for the students however this fails greatly at it

LunchLady: it has fruits vegetables and meat what else is there needed. Each of the animals can eat the meal of their choosing to

Tenchi: OBJECTION. None of the meals are cooked

Dinosaur-sensei: I still don't get what do you mean

Tenchi: ugh...*he shakes his head* Cooking food was an evolutionary quantum leap for us humans, as cooking food made it easier to digest and unlocked additional nutrition from it which we previously were not getting. It all has to do with chemical reactions taking place in the meat which is set off by cooking it. Unlocking these additional nutrients literally allowed our brains to grow smarter, fueling our growth as an intelligent species. Many anthropologists have said that fire was the catalyst for our evolution into what we are today, due to how cooking meat gave us advantages and advances that raw meat didn't.

everyone looked more confused thinking it was just a human thing

Tenchi: oh and the food taste and smells better if its cooked.

Everyone: WHATTT

Tenchi jumps behind the kitchen

Sensei: what are you doing

Tenchi: I'm going to show you the difference between cooked food and raw(I'll do a low level because I don't want their first meal to be too powerful...)

Tenchi then instantly switches clothes and he is wearing a black chefs outfit that said Yukihira and HOMRA on it

Tenchi: I'll make you all say its delicious!

------------

I am Hino Hitomi, I am the only human female in the school

Being the only human female is tough. the other animals are all scary and it makes me nervous

I heard there was another human in the school but I haven't had a good chance to talk to him...he has the air about him...

I saw him talk back to the scary vice-principal

I had thought he was going to die but instead...

Vice-principal: SOO GOOD!

Tenchi: It wasn't much...

He then turns every one of the lunch staff into his cooking team and has them start cooking food for the students...it was amazing...he was able to command them to cook food for the students and while it was just cooked a little everyone of the students enjoyed their newly cooked food

After he was finished I went up to him as he was eating

Hitomi: umm, excuse can I join you

I did my best smile...

Tenchi: sure no problem

I sat next to him...I never interacted with another human my age...

Hitomi: So...that meal you cooked was amazing...I was shocked

Tenchi: it wasn't much...I mean your a pretty good cook yourself

he looks at my handmade lunch

Hitomi: it's just because the food is...well was intimidating

ahh...I don't know what to say to him

Tenchi: yeah it was...as a chef I felt disappointed in their lack of care

Hitomi: a chef? so you really like cooking eh?

Tenchi nods

ok... let's ask him...be casual

Hitomi: So...I was wondering...if you would...umm would you please be...a member of my club

Tenchi: huh

Eh, what did I say?

Hitomi: umm you say I want to start a cooking club and I thought since you like to cook you could help me out haha

What am I even saying that isn't it! I wanted to ask if he would be my friend

Tenchi: oh...a cooking club....I do need a club...plus it would be a good way to get to know people better. cooking is a way to form connections

Hitomi: I know right! (SAFE!)

Suddenly a small cute wolf jumps on the table and is growling at me

Ranka: Hey female human this human male is my mate

Hitomi: m-mate!

They're at that level already!

Ranka: I'll fight you for him

I was about to get up when he scolded her

Tenchi: Ranka calm down...she was inviting us to join her

Ranka: but we already are in a pack and

I don't get it but he scolded her on what a pack was and not to get comfortable

feeling dejected she slumped down as we walked to the room. I decided to talk with her

Hitomi: umm, Ranka-chan...I don't think he was upset. I think he wants us to get to know other people...

Ranka: huh...but

Hitomi: I am the same as you...(I wanted it just to be only humans) but...I think I like the idea of having other creatures...I want everyone to enjoy the taste of different food together. I mean seeing him cook like that...I wanted to do what he did and maybe make friends with different species.

Ranka: y-yeah your right me to. I also wanted to be like Ten! I wanted to have a pack full all species

we looked at each other and laughed

Ranka: I'm Ranka! I hope we can get along now

Hitomi: and you can call me Hitomi!

Tenchi who had just come back with a broom mop smiled: good...did you kiss and make up

I blushed and suddenly Ranka says: kiss? ok

she goes over to me and ...and takes my first kiss!

Ranka: now you're a member of our pack!

I am really happy but kind of depressed ...Tenchi had just a dumb-looking expression on his face and he whispers

Tenchi: so...the swing for the same team...noted...
