Chapter 51 - I cook it myself

Momo looked at his lunch with an interest, "Did a chef cook your meal?"

"....."

Brando was speechless and said, "No, I cook it myself."

"Really?" Momo was surprised and asked, "What lunch box is that and what is that pearl?"

"This is a nori bento," Brando said.

"Nori bento?!" Hagakure was surprised and asked, "Can I join you guys? I have brought my bento too."

"Oh, me too," Jiro said.

"Why not?" Momo nodded.

"Yeah, the more the merrier," Brando said.

"So is this really nori bento?" Hagakure asked.

"Isn't this a salmon roe?" Jiro asked.

"No, from the size it is bigger than the usual caviar," Momo said.

'Caviar....' They were speechless.

"No, this is just Nori," Brando said.

"Nori?!" They had never seen nori in such a round shape.

"Is this really nori? Where did you buy round nori?" Hagakure asked.

"I made it," Brando said.

"How did you make it?" Jiro asked.

"Is it molecular gastronomy?" Momo asked.

"Yeah, I use both sodium alginate and calcium chloride," Brando said.

"Sodium, what? Chl- what?" Hagakure was confused.

"Sodium alginate and calcium chloride, which is an ingredient that is used to make candy," Momo said and explained, "So you've got the idea from candy and made that dish?"

"Yeah," Brando said and looked at them, "Do you want to try it?"

They gulped in response.

"Is that okay?" Hagakure asked.

"Sure, try the rice and eat it with the rice too," Brando said.

They nodded and took some of the dishes that he had created. They saw four layers from the rice itself and put it into their mouth right away.

*BURST!!!

They felt that that nori was similar to salmon roe but it had a richer taste.

"It's good!" Hagakure said.

"That's true," Jiro nodded.

"I wonder whether I can make you into my chef, Dio-kun," Momo said.

"....."

"I'm glad that you love it but I have to refuse to become your chef," Brando said.

"It's a shame," Momo sighed.

"Why did you learn to cook?" Jiro asked.

"Well, cooking is fun, especially when you eat it together with your family, friends, or lovers, the taste will be tastier," Brando said and ate the food.

"...."

"Brando-kun, do you have a girlfriend?" Hagakure asked.

'Hagakure!?' Momo and Jiro didn't expect such a question coming from her mouth.

"No," Brando shook his head. He wasn't lying since he still hadn't dated anyone right now but he was close to someone.

"Really?" Hagakure seemed quite happy. She thought for a bit and asked, "Right, Sensei said that you have entered a singing competition, what is that?"

"Yeah, I'm also curious," Momo asked.

"Huh? How did you know?" Brando asked. He was sleeping the entire time and didn't know where Aizawa had known that he entered a singing competition.

"It's from local television, don't you know?" Jiro asked.

"I don't know...." Brando thought that it was just for recording and he didn't expect for him to enter television. He understood why some people glanced at him when he entered the school earlier.

"So are you singing? Are you winning?" Hagakure asked.

"He won, he was in the first place," Jiro nodded and said, "Still, your choice of song is very good, the song is old but it is gold."

Brando nodded, "I don't know that you know such an old song, Jiro."

"Well, both of my parents are musicians, which is why I know a lot of songs," Jiro said.

"What kind of song?" Momo asked curiously.

"The title of the song is Can't Take My Eyes Off You by Frankie Valli, you should hear it later this song is good," Jiro said.

"Can you sing it?" Hagakure asked.

"No," Brando shook his head.

"Eh?! Please!" Hagakure wanted to hear him sing.

Brando didn't really want to sing again since it felt embarrassing to sing in the class.

"There is a video of him on the internet, let me check it out," Jiro said.

"Eh? Really?" Hagakure was interesting.

Momo also checked it.

"..."

Brando was speechless.

---

The school was over.

Brando needed to go to meet with Yui since he had promised to watch the concert of Love Live. He suddenly felt that his phone vibrated and saw that he had received a message from her.

'Be careful, there are a lot of people from my classmates that come to visit your class?'

'Why?' Brando replied.

'They want to see everyone in class 1-A after the villain incident, I'm waiting for you in front of the school entrance.'

Brando thought it didn't really matter, 'Alright, wait for me there.' He stood up and took his bag. He saw that everyone stopped in front of the class, "What happened?"

"Brando, there are a lot of people outside," Midoriya said and a bit panicked.

""They've come to see us since we're going to be at their competition at the sports festival," Bakugou said.

"Oh," Brando nodded and didn't really care about a group of mobs. He didn't think many other students were from the other class since he didn't think that they could beat him. He had something more important to do than talking to mobs right now, "Can you guys not block the way?"

"Class Prez...." They didn't expect him to say that directly.

"Move aside, cannon fodder!" Bakugou also said beside him.

'BAKUGOU!!!'

Brando looked at Bakugou and smiled since this guy was very straight.

"It's true that we came to get a look, but you sure are modest, are all the kids in the hero course like this one?"

Suddenly male students with spiky red hair and panda eyes came.

"Gotta say that I'm a bit disillusioned, those of us who didn't make it..."

Brando was too lazy to listen to this guy and walked away while pushing him away.

Bakugou looked at him and also followed him.

"Oi! Two of you! You've just created a lot of enemies for us!" Kirishima shouted at them.

"If you're afraid of them, can you reach the top?" Brando said.

"Why should I care?" Bakugou said.

Both of them were similar to a bulldozer and no one could stop them.

"Tch, so manly, wait for me!" Kirishima said.
