Crossover Anime: Not Joining the Service Club at the Start

Although the cookies didn't look very appealing this time.

However, because of its high level of completion.

This time, it might be necessary to taste it.

So, everyone's attention turned to Hachiman.

Hikigaya: ""

Are you sure this thing is edible?

So dark!

Hachiman looked down at the cookies on the plate again.

No, I'm not going to try it!

With this in mind, Hachiman immediately chose to politely decline.

"This looks a bit like testing for poison, is that alright?"

"No, we have to try it to find the reason."

When Yukino came to her senses, she had no recollection of what she had just taught.

So, in order to figure out how to improve the situation, she had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

She glanced at the black object on the baking tray.

Isn't this just a case of the Pharaoh's Serpent being changed into charcoal?

At that moment, Yukinoshita suddenly understood how Hikigaya felt.

At the same time, I also felt a little regretful for my slip of the tongue.

But it was only a tiny bit.

After all, this was the only way to complete this mission.

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita reached out and picked up the cookies that Yuihama had made.

"Snapped--"

She seemed to be trying to break the cookie apart, but unexpectedly, it shattered into several pieces as soon as she applied force.

""

Looking at the three pieces on the baking tray, and the piece in Yukinoshita's hand, he had reason to suspect that she might have done it on purpose.

But the others don't care about that.

As a member of the Service Club, Hikigaya inevitably had to pick up a piece.

Yuihama, the maker, was intrigued by the cookie, which, despite its dark appearance, was nearly round.

What will it taste like?

Yuihama picked up one of the pieces and thought curiously.

Then, they all looked at Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi's eyes twitched slightly upon seeing this: What does this mean? Is it something that's forcing me to eat it too?

"Well, I'm not from the Service Department, I'm just here for the fun of it."

After explaining, Cheng Shi pointed to the cookies in their hands.

"Besides, that thing doesn't look like something you can eat at all, does it?"

Aside from overcooking, he had never seen anyone bake coals in a timed oven.

So

"You're really great."

Cheng Shi admires people who dare to try new things.

But he can't do that; he won't eat anything that doesn't look like normal food.

"Zi-"

Cheng Shi thought to himself as he drank the milk in his hand.

After he said that, the three of them fell silent as they looked at the cookies in their hands.

I originally thought it would pass in the blink of an eye, but now...

Suddenly I felt like I didn't want to swallow anymore.

So, Hikigaya and Yuigahama, who had been told not to try, immediately looked at Yukinoshita with pleading expressions.

Yukinoshita nodded silently.

To be honest, she didn't want to either.

"Ugh"

Cheng Shi sighed in disappointment.

The pained expressions on their faces were no longer visible.

Hearing the sigh, Yukinoshita gave him a strange look.

But she quickly brought her attention back to the main topic.

"Alright, let's continue. Look at Yuihama's technique. We'll have to practice a few more times."

Upon hearing this, Yui Hama gave a serious "Oh!"

She seems to have plenty of energy.

But Hachiman couldn't do that; all he could think about right now was—he wanted to go home!

Unfortunately, the girls started a new production process.

Add flour to the mixture.

Yukinoshita nodded.

Next, add the sugar.

Yukino frowned slightly. It wasn't a big problem; it was just earlier than expected.

"Heave-ho!" Yuihama began vigorously stirring the batter.

Yukinoshita is observing carefully.

"Ding--"

Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, a set of cookies that were no longer black emerged from the oven.

"Yay!" Upon seeing the result, Yui celebrated in advance: "Finally, it's not black anymore!"

"Ah."

The other three nodded in agreement.

At least it looks presentable.

Then there's the taste.

As usual, under the snow, Hikigaya and Yuigahama each took a piece.

Cheng Shi, on the other hand, was drinking milk and watching from the side.

However, the presentation didn't seem to translate into a good taste this time.

Because everyone's comment was the same—"bland".

"It's so bland, it has no taste at all," Hachiman muttered to himself.

“Indeed,” Yukinoshita glanced at the cookie in her hand, puzzled. “But there was sugar in it just now.”

“Yeah, that’s right,” Yui Hama said, equally puzzled. “Where did they all go?”

"They're all in the oven."

Cheng Shi complained, "Who puts so little sugar in it?"

The ratio of oil, sugar, eggs, and flour in cookies is 7:4:3:10.

"With the amount you just used, you only added less than 10% sugar. No wonder it tastes bland."

“But then again,” Cheng Shi said with a smile, “Congratulations, Yui Hama. Apart from not adding enough sugar, you have mastered all the other procedures.”

Well, it doesn't fit the anime's premise that girls who can't cook can never learn how to make any food.

But after so much effort, this successful moment truly deserves praise.

Upon hearing this, Yui blinked her eyes in a somewhat bewildered manner.

"I...I've succeeded?"

"Is it true!?"

Yuihama looked at Yukinoshita with anticipation.

"Yes." Yukinoshita nodded.
