For someone athletic, Honoka looks very short.
Need to get the right timing to say you can cook when asked? Sure, it's one thing if you've dedicated your life to not standing out, but just to avoid being seen as bragging? In a group he just described as a bunch of celebrities? Pretty sure they can appreciate someone being skilled in an area they aren't. However, he had previously dedicated his life to becoming a house husband, so it doesn't make any sense why he'd avoid it. That's why he's good at cooking in the first place.
It's not that you don't have to pay too much attention, because that's the main thing to avoid cutting yourself. It's that you don't have to worry too much about how exactly you cut.
She's perceptive enough to realise he's being evasive. Although if he was really trying to fit into this group, he'd show some kind of exceptional ability like the rest of them have.
Triggered.
MC is kind of a hypocrite
Mostly just inconsistent.
He wants to be an househusband because he's lazy, cooking for others is a hassle; and if he says "I know how to cook" they'll entrust him basically all the work, considering that the others have 0 skill
A few of them are overachievers. There's no way he'd be left with the work. Besides, while he may be lazy, he likes to cook.
If you are good at something, don't tell others. Unless if they pay money (which Rei clears).
"Oh you like drawing? Can you design this? It's easy for you, right?" Fuck that.
That's why you learn to say, "No," or, "What do I get out of it?" Then it depends on context and the person asking. Can earn you some money or favours.
