[Would you wish to receive your reward?]
[Yes] [no]
'Yes'
[Congratulations for obtaining 20 coins!]
The reward was very much satisfying, I didn't really like the quest but it was worth it for the reward if we add it to the last one.
I already had 50 coins saved up, the reason being that as calm and collected as I might be, I'm still a man and being 169cm I couldn't resist the temptation of growing taller even if just by 1 cm. That's how desperate I am.
Despite this body's horrible stats I was gifted with a very handsome face, but the part I hated the most about this body was none other than my height, I was currently only 1cm taller than Raku and I don't believe that's something I can be proud of.
Even though my height isn't a handicap for now I know very well that growing taller would be extremely helpful in many ways.
Anyway today is gonna be a pretty great day, yesterday my cooking skill finally leveled up to lvl 10 and today we're having a cooking class, my goal is simply to show off!
As someone with past shitty cooking skills I couldn't wait to show off my now okayish skills. My cooking skill was Ranked F so I could only cook very basic things but it was still pretty tasty.
Ever since I got the cooking skill I no longer ate outside, cooking my own meals was a nice change.

"We're making cakes today right?" I asked shu who seemed lost in thoughts.
"Yes, but that's not the important part, listen Amon, there's a rumor going around." He said that in an awefully serious voice that even managed to worry me, while also looking at me dead in the eyes.
"What's wrong...?" I asked him while feeling kinda worried what this might all be about.
"The rumors say... The girls will give their cake to the guy they like the most!" I bursted out laughing after hearing what this so called rumor was all about while also trying to ignore the obvious double meaning of his words.
"Bahahahaha! I mean who cares about those stupid stuff" I should've already excepted that since this is a romcom but I still can't help but find those things way too stupid.
"You're only saying that because you're handsome and already pretty popular with the girls here, but for me it's an once in a lifetime event!" He said with a hopeful look on his face.
Right at the end of his words I received a notification that made my whole face turn serious.
"Forget everything I said earlier! You were right! It's a very important event and we need to give it our all!" This time my serious expression matched his.
[New quest available]
[Side quest:
A perfect housewife. (Difficulty F)
Description:
Impress 10 girls of the class with your cooking skills and make them give you their cake. Currently: 0/10
Reward: 10 coins, +10 levels for the cooking skill.]
This was enough to fire me up, I'm going to make sure those girls help me complete my quest.
"Wait what? Since when do you care about those things?" Shu looked at me confused since I never showed any interest in romance in the past.
"Sorry shu, you're a nice person. But I can't let you win this one. As you said this is a rare opportunity."
I didn't give him any time to reply and directly went on to approach my first target. After a few chitchat and seeing her blush I knew it was done for. I repeated the process a few times before getting scolded by the teacher and getting asked to focus on cooking.
I listened to her words and got into it, while most people failed at the basics, my hands were moving naturally and for the first time I put my heart into it. I even noticed a few girls looking my way surprised by my how comfortable I was with cooking.
By the end of it, I was nearly sweating because of how concentrated I was on my task.
"Woahh Amon you know how to cook?"
"Can we taste it??"
But I believe it was totally worth it since the girls seems to already be impressed. Once I was done I was immediately attacked by an enormous number of questions from different girls.
"Go ahead and try it out, I made a lot anyway so I believe everyone will have their part" I said with a rare smile on my face. I could even see some girls blush just from that. A handsome face is really a cheat code, but the quest didn't say that I couldn't use my charm to my advantage.
"Woah it's so good"
"Amon are you the one who cook at home?"
"You're both good at studies and at cooking? That's unfair"
Those comments did succeed in inflating my ego, it was a nice bonus other than the quest reward.
In the end I managed to get 9 cakes, I only needed one more cake!
I looked around to see who my last prey would be and that's when I saw a fully black cake accompanied with a burnt smell, it was none other than Chitoge's cake, my target was confirmed so I approached the girl who had a disappointed expression on her face.
"Hey chitoge if you give me your cake I don't mind tasting it." I asked her with a friendly smile to make sure she won't reject me. I could see her face illuminate as she looked at me as some kind of angel again.
"Amonnn! Thank youuu!" She gifted me the cake and looked at me with an apprehensive look in her eyes, probably scared that I'd dislike it.
I took a bite, then a second, and a third.
"Well... It's surprisingly very delicious." I looked at Chitoge who was on the verge of crying and gave her a thumps up.
"Chitoge also knows how to cook?"
"That's amazing!"
"It tastes so great!!"
After hearing my words many more people accepted to taste and all agreed with me, that made Chitoge look at me with an even more grateful expression.
On another side Raku took this chance to try to talk to Kosaki, it was frustrating to know that those two have feelings for each other but are both so dense. Well it doesn't matter since at the end of the manga he didn't even choose her. Can't deny that even I was frustrated back then.
I still haven't decided on whether I want to help them or sabotage them. I could probably easily shift the balance one way or another.
But I didn't have time for that, all that mattered to me right now is the new notification.
[Congratulations on completing the side quest "a perfect housewife"!]
