Hyouka - Volume 03 - The Kudryavka Sequence - Welcome to KANYA FESTA! (1)

"How do you think I did?"
Despite moving so swiftly, Chitanda-san showed no signs of fatigue and
smiled. As for me, I smiled back, knowing I could never do what she had
accomplished.
"You were amazing, Chitanda-san. I never knew you could cook that well."
Chitanda-san said shyly, "Is that so? I really like cooking."
"Yeah, I can see that. But..."
"But?"
Her expression became clouded.
"...Did something go wrong?"
The Cooking Club president commentated,
"Team Classics Club's final member has yet to appear! And to think they
performed so superbly until now..."
"Chitanda-san, this is a three-person team."
"Of course. I'm worried for Mayaka-san."
"No, even if she had come..."
I pointed towards the makeshift kitchen counter that Chitanda-san had just
worked vigorously on.
On there was a pot of cooking rice, radish rolls filled with ginger and spring
onions, giseyaki, imo-mochi, sweet prawn sashimi and pork miso soup.
Chitanda-san looked lively, as we were looking at her masterpieces. Yet...
she first looked right, and then looked left again. Then she covered her
mouth.
