~Hope always wins~ (komaegi fanfic)

{※Chapter 2※}

We all decided to show Makoto around the island tomorrow and have a small dinner with him tonight before curfew. Makoto wanted help, so they let him. We started to get a plan together on who's making the food since our chef has... well... he's no longer with us, sad honestly. Of course, with my luck, I got cooking, just my day... What if I burn something? Cause a fire? Cut myself while cutting something? So many things can happen...

As those thoughts were getting into my mind, I heard Makoto got cooking as well. I looked up and noticed as he nodded and smiled with excitement, but, for some odd reason, I can see that, under that smile, he's beyond upset... I'm guessing he misses someone a lot... I understand how that feels...

Once everyone got into 2 separate groups, we quickly got started. Honestly, in the kitchen, my group had no clue what we were going to make. In the group, there was Makoto, Peko, Sonia, Hiyoko, Nekomaru, Fuyuhiko, and Ibuki, all of them had no clue what to do right now. Makoto looked around and then checked what the kitchen had and noticed that he thought of something.

"We can make Japanese curry with Winter Squash and mushrooms..."

We all looked at him and then at each other, but the group all agreed and went to work, getting what they needed and setting up on which thing everyone is going to do. Of course, I got stuck on cutting the vegetables... just my luck... I know I might cut a finger off or someone might get hurt, who knows... After a while, everyone seemed to be having a good time cooking, nothing happened... Well... yet... As we were doing our own thing, we heard Mikan come in with plates, but she seemed to be struggling, I can see that might not end well...

"H-Hey g-guys, m-my group, and I-I found some plates for you guys to use f-for the food... I h-hope this-"

Before she could finish her sentence we saw her trip on a piece of food that was on the floor. She let go of the plates and they went flying. I didn't notice this until one plate landed on the cutting board I was using, making the knife that I had put down jump and fly off. The thing is, the knife was aimed at Makoto... Now, this is it... my luck... that the knife had missed me and now it'll get someone else... until Makoto also tripped and fell down as the knife landed on the wall where, supposedly, the knife was going to get him. Everyone stared and they were all in shock that in that second Makoto should've died, he escaped in time. This made me very confused, how did he escape that so fast, without even knowing it was aiming at him... Everyone stood there, silent until Mikan sat up and started to apologize

"I-I'm s-sorry...!! I-I'm s-so s-sorry...!! W-Why am I so clumsy..."

Hiyoko noticed and just groans

"Shut up, Mikan, you're so DAMN annoying! If you weren't being SO dumb and saw that there was a piece of food on the floor, then your fatass wouldn't have fallen"

Makoto noticed and soon got up, groaning a bit, he seemed to be just fine, besides falling. He went to Mikan and helped her up
