Three days a week, starting on Tuesdays. Well that certainly seemed like a good enough deal to him. Learn to cook [i]and[/i] get out of housework? Not to mention the supposed free food. Hopefully their first dish would be something simple like egg-fried rice. Mmm... egg-fried rice... Genki blinked twice as he suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing he didn't quite hear the ending of Linda's statement. But, being too afraid to ask what she said, Genki simply said [color=ed1c24]"Got it."[/color] Genki raised his hand, making an "OK" sign with his fingers. [color=ed1c24] "I'll see you later, then! Gotta get home and help out aroundthe house."[/color] and with a wave headed out the door. They both seemed nice enough. Maybe this would be better than he thought.

As Genki walked down the third floor halls, he reminded himself to look for recruitment posters. The third floor had plenty, just as many as anyone else's club. On the second floor, after a quick scout, revealed more, but less than there were upstairs, getting somewhat overshadowed by the other posters. And on the first floor, there were even less, once more being overshadowed. Guess they ran short on paper. Oh well. Maybe he'd mention something about it to Linda tomorrow. Swapping out his shoes at the entrance, he began tge walk home. 

The walk home was as uneventful as it was short, and before he knew it, he found himself back at his grandparents house. The front door swung open on surprisingly well oiled hinges, something his grandfather was responsible for. He had always hated squeaky doors for some reason or another. At first, Genki was greeted only by his grandmother, who quickly revealed that his grandfather had gone out to get batteries for the smoke alarm. [color=ed1c24]"Wait we have a smoke alarm? Since when?"[/color] Genki's grandmother laughed as she pointed to a spot above the cupboards, hidden out of plain view, to several wires sticking out of the wall, where tge smoke alarm was once attached. Apparently they had it for years. It was certainly news to him.

They both sat on the couch as Genki was asked to explain his first day. There wasn't too much that was special, other than the new auditorium and him joining the Cooking Club. He did his best to try to make the story somewhat interesting, though he began to think that his grandmother was merely asking out of politeness. A little awkward, but it wasn't anything unusual.

At last Genki's grandfather came through the door, clutching a half-eaten dorayaki and a case of batteries. Great, now Genki was hungry for dorayaki. Maybe they'd learn how to make them in the club? His grandfather would surely appreciate that. But, at the request of his grandfather, Genki would then go to help replace tge batteries of the smoke alarms hidden throughout the house. He had to say, some of then were hidden fairly well. Just out if sight, but easily accessible if you needed to get to it.

The rest of the day went by like many others. A couple of around-the-house chores, and a little TV in the living room quickly led to dinner time, which then transitioned to night, and eventually, bedtime. Going to sleep at ten was a lite earlier than Genki was used to, but he also needed to get up a little earlier too. Genki sighed as he crawled into bed thinking about tomorrow. Things were just getting started, and he had quite the journey ahead. Not only would he have to survive another school year, he'd have to do after school stuff as well. Though at least that part had the potential to be fun. At least Golden Week wasn't too far away. Genki then closed his eyes and let sleep take him.
