There Are No Tears in Terror

"Um... Is that bad?" he asked unknowingly.

"Of course! It's horrific!" Hyuuga pointed a dramatic finger at the startled first-year, "Do you remember the honey-soaked lemons at the Touou game?!"

"In other words, her cooking is barely above edible..." Teppei rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Inside, he was incredibly nervous for this trip.

"So it's inedible?!" the rest panicked, finally catching on to their senior's horror. "I think we should just cook for ourselves..."

Hyuuga sighed, feeling great sympathy for the terror he's put upon his fellow teammates... But they had to know. Mitobe alone looked like he was about to contract a sudden heart attack from the mention of Riko's food. "If only it were that easy... But..."

"...Practice is so brutal that no one can move at night," Izuki finished the captain's sentence. Koganei dry heaved and covered his mouth.

"Just thinking about it makes me—eck!"

"Koga!" Tsuchida cried.

That display was enough to send even Kagami in a panic frenzy. He honestly didn't think the coach's cooking could be bad to the point that the seniors are becoming lifeless at the thought of eating her food again! And he was surprised that Kuroko could still look normal after the terrifying news...

"Um, Okuma-san is coming with us to camp, isn't she?" Kuroko asked, and immediately color came back to everyone's faces with realization.

"T-That's right!" Kawahara exclaimed, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. "Okuma-chan will save our stomachs!"

"She's good at baking, so she must be good at cooking too!" Fukuda added optimistically.

Izuki and the second-years also calmed down a little, but he was still uneasy. "That may be so... But I have a feeling Coach would insist on adding her own touch to the food..."

So no matter what... We're doomed... was the thought that ran through everyone's heads.

Everyone meet at the sports field at 6 o'clock SHARP. Don't be late!

(17:29)

...

The entire team had received the group message from their coach, and by the looks of the urgent text, they didn't want to find out what would happen if they were late. It was close to six now, the time Riko had set for them to meet at the field.

The field was near a large neighborhood, and as everyone showed at the spot, they could only stare at each other and wonder why they were summoned a day before their first training camp was supposed to start.

"Do you know why we're here, Captain?" Furihata asked, scratching his head. He was at a park near his house where he was playing with a younger visiting cousin when he got the message.

"No," Hyuuga shook his head. Riko hadn't said anything to him, so he was as lost as the rest.

Kagami grunted, having arrived with Kuroko by his side after bumping into the boy on his way here. "I was about to start dinner..."

"At five?" Koganei blinked. "Wait, what do you mean by you're starting dinner?"

"Hm? Oh, I live by myself," the redhead said offhandedly, "and I was playing basketball all afternoon so I got hungry."
