Chapter 8 - Shokugeki no Tenchi (1/2)

As Miyuki gets his clothes ready for the day. Tenchi does a light 500 push ups and sit ups in 2 minutes

After that, he got changed and they headed to class. But he stopped noticing that Miyuki was further behind him

Miyuki seeing him stopped went to him and ask

Miyuki: Nura-sama is there an issue?

Tenchi: First there is no need for the sama or calling me by my last name. I don't actually care about the Nura Clan

Miyuki was confused about his words. Nura Clan

Tenchi: You can just call me Tenchi. Also, walk next to me not behind me

Miyuki: Nura-sama

she saw how upset Tenchi was

Miyuki:Te-Tenchi-sama

He squinted his eyes

Miyuki: Tenchi-san it is rude for a maid to walk next to their master

Tenchi: Aren't you always saying I'm just a commoner that isn't suited to be here. In team sports, it doesn't matter what position you play each is very important. For me, as my maid, you're my catcher

Miyuki: catcher!' she imagines a big fat guy tackling guys who try to get home

Tenchi: not like what you're imagining. *sigh* in baseball the catcher is the person who calls the shots of the ace pitcher. They are the true hero of the game. They support the ace and without them, the pitcher wouldn't be able to play the best they could. You are my catcher, my aide my hero. They don't stand in the back they look each other in the eye..

Miyuki: you really are disgusting when it comes to sports

Tenchi smiles as she walks next to him

Tenchi: So do you have any siblings

She looks at him strangely and says she has an older brother

Tenchi: cool I have siblings too

she stops and was shocked

Miyuki: you do?

she researched him and didn't find any siblings of his...he did go by a different name prior through but still

Tenchi: Yup I have 3 older sisters, 3 younger sisters, a brother and sister my age and a younger brother

Miyuki: how come I haven't heard of them before...

Tenchi: That's because they don't have the same last name...oh look its the classroom

As he arrives Reiko comes out of the classroom and greets him.

Reiko: We would like it if you come with us to welcome party in the auditorium after dinner. Aiko I would like it if you could join us too

Aiko who for some reason was hiding behind him ran into the classroom

Reiko: dear it seems once again I have done something to offend her

Tenchi: (strange girl...is it that time of the month?)

he sees her acting cold

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

Tenchi saw in class Reiko was being seen as the perfect student and everyone was shocked that Tenchi was just as talented if not more. His flower arrangement even stunned the teacher

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

Then Gym class happen. There was a long jump

Reiko did an amazing jump that was the best for the normal students

Aiko was next she attempted to jump but fell face first into the dirt as she tripped and Tenchi jumped that was a new record entirely for the school

Aiko was depressed after her fall and walked away

Reiko: even in my entire life I don't think I could ever be as good as you in jumping

Tenchi: it's not that big deal, I am an athlete...anyway, where is our social butterfly?

Reiko: social butterfly?

Tenchi: its a nickname for Aiko. In the common world, we give nicknames to our friends

Reiko looks depressed thinking that if Aiko made friends with him. then the fault that they're not close is the fault of her own

she explains that she wasn't able to bridge the gap between the two of them.

Tenchi (I kind of want to tell her that Aiko just wants to make friends...but I probably shouldn't get in the middle of their thing)
