BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15
My Entire Class Was Summoned to Another World Except for Me Chapter 15: Is this move even possible for a human?
After school, I headed to Kamaishi’s place .
“Please get in, Kamiya-kun . ”
“Aight, I’m intruding . ”
Urged by Kamaishi, I took off my shoes and walked to the living room . It had a simple yet lively design .
“Okay then, shall we begin? Please put your bag on that sofa and bring me one with the ingredients over here . ”
Following her orders, I placed my bag on the sofa and carried the supermarket sack to the kitchen . Apparently, we’re going to make curry for Kamaishi’s dinner .
Before we got here, Kamaishi and I went for shopping where the old lady holding the register started poking us by saying “Are you on a date?” or “It’s like we’re a married couple . ” and such .
“Okay, first of all, you should peel off the vegetables’ skin,”
Kamaishi declared as she took out a carrot from the bag and parred it using a peeler .
“We it by moving the peeler this way and slowly paring it off . I can do it using a knife, but for newcomers, using a peeler is recommended . ”
Finishing her words, Kamaishi halted her hands and handed me the peeler and the half peeled carrot .
“Here, Try doing it . I will peel off the rest . ”
“Got it . ”
I received both the peeler and the carrot, then started paring . Well, I can at least do this much without using a skill . Finishing the process, I was about to call Kamaishi before I got astonished by the spectacle in front of my eyes .
She was peeling of the skin of other vegetables using a knife, however, that speed was out of the ordinary . Shururu!! Making such a sound, Kamaishi kept on perfectly peeling off the vegetables like a machine . What’s this about?! Is this move even possible for a human? I never saw my mom in the process of cooking . I wonder if she’s this skillful too .
When I unintentionally kept gazing at Kamaishi’s performance, she realized my glance and stopped her hands .
“Ah, Are you done, Kamiya-kun?”
“Y-Yeah . ”
“What is it?”
“Um, I just thought that your skills are amazing . ”
“Really? I think that’s rather normal . ”
This is normal? If that’s so, then getting that 【Cooking】skill would be great . No, it’s not the skill but rather Kamaishi who’s amazing .
A skill is nothing but a privileged option that gives a fixed amount of ability . That’s why the ability of a person harboring the same skill could widely differ depending on the effort made .
In addition, I’m not sure why but, the 【Cooking】 and similar skills don’t have a level up option . Which supports the concept of effort-making .
By the way, My mom has an integrated skill called 【House chore master】 . That’s my mom for you .
“Okay then, let’s try cutting the vegetables next . I will show the way first . ”
As she said, Kamaishi picked a peeled potato and started to cut it with a knife . She went slowly while including explanations on the way for my sake .
After finishing with a single potato, she gave me the knife .
“It’s your turn now, Kamiya-kun . ”
I seized the knife and began trying to cut off the potato like she did earlier .
My moves were a bit clumsy, but I managed to steadily cut a whole one .
“Skill 【Cooking】 has been acquired . ”
After cutting off a single potato the voice announced that I obtained a skill . Already learned? This【super growth】skill is wonderful .
“Okay, let’s try a carrot now . ”
Kamaishi handed me a carrot . I took it and started cutting in a clearly different speed than just now . This is great . My hands are moving smoothly . Bless the skill abilities .
As I was shocked by my own speed, I cut the entire carrot into small pieces in a matter of few seconds . Kamaishi who saw that seemed surprised as well .
“This is amazing, Kamiya-kun!! You already became able to move your hands this fast!?”
“Well, yeah, it’s just that grew accustomed to it . ”
Kamaishi replied with “Haa~” a breath of admiration .
“Like usual, you’re really great, Kamiya-kun...”
The thing that is great is not me but the skills .
After that, we proceeded into making dinner swimmingly until Kamaishi’s cooking class eventually took their conclusion .
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Finishing cooking dinner, Kamaishi and I took a break in the living room .
“Here, Kamiya-kun . ”
I received a cup of black tea from Kamaishi and drank it . Phew, how calming . Making a second sip in the tea, I expressed my thanks to Kamaishi .
“Thanks for today, Kamaishi-san . Owing to you, my cooking skills got better . ”
“It’s fine . Don’t worry about it, I did it because I wanted, after all . Even though your improvement was so fast that it turned into a normal cooking in no time . ”
I made a bitter smile after hearing that last sentence . It did indeed turn into a simple cooking party rather than learning session on the way .
“But you’re amazing, Kamiya-kun . I never thought you’d be able to do that much in a single day . ”
“But I’m still far away from catching up to you, Kamaishi-san . ”
It doesn’t seem like I’ll catch up to her anytime, to be honest . I wonder how did she make it that far?
We spent a while after that chatting about different matters until I switched my sight to the clock hanged on the wall . It was already 5 p . m . Looks like I stayed a bit too late .
“Well then, I should take my leave now . ”
“Ah, Let me see you off . ”
Saying that, Kamaishi escorted me to the entrance door .
“Alright then, see you tomorrow . ”
“Yes, until tomorrow, Kamiya-kun . ”
The moment I placed my hand on the doorknob, Kamaishi called me to halt .
“Ah, wait, Kamiya-kun . You’ve got rubbish on your shoulder . ”
She then approached me and picked the small item off my shoulder . Just to take off a small piece of trash, Her face got closer until it reached the tip of my nose .
And at that instant......
“I’m back!”
An unfamiliar woman entered from the door behind us .
“I didn’t have much work today so I came back earlier... than usu-al...”
Before making a single step inside, that woman’s face went completely rigid after noticing me and Kamaishi .
“M-Mom!?”
Kamaishi was overtaken by the shock after she saw the woman .
Just as I thought, she’s her mom .
However, this is not the best situation to be found out in .
Currently, I’m turning my back to the entrance door while Kamaishi is hiding before me with her face barely visible .
I guess it’s pretty obvious that anyone who’d see us from near the door, would only see a man and a woman with their faces close to each other .
Kamaishi’s mom remained stiff for a few seconds, then took back her composure and closed the door .
“S-Sorry . Looks like I intruded on your time . ”
“W-Wait, mom!! Don’t get the wrong idea . ”
(TLN: misunderstanding scene is here!)
Kamaishi ran after her mom in confusing to fix the misunderstanding . A short period of time later, she dragged her back here and frantically solved the problem .
Her mom seemed to have grasped the situation, but apparently happy that her daughter brought a man in the house, she addressed me in a significant way saying, “Please take care of my daughter . ”
Kamaishi’s face turned bright red after that, while I could only reply with an awkward smile .
Later on, Kamaishi said with an embarrassed face, “My mom asked about various things . ”
I couldn’t do anything but comfort her at that time .
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Bonus
One day, I decided to go peek on my mom out of curiosity when she was cooking .
“Hmhmhmhm ♪”
With an unconcerned hum, she took the knife and was about to cut some vegetables .
Shupapapapapa!!!
In the blink of an eye, the vegetables were all cut clean . That speed was no way to be compared with Kamaishi’s .
“Hm, doing well today as well♪”
I remained to gaze at my mom’s superhuman speed at cooking with a dumbfounded face . My mom is seriously superhuman .
