She was well aware of her low degree in girly skills. However, that was just amongst the girls, and she didn't think that she'd lose to a boy, especially not to someone who was normally as crude as Koutarou. However, now her absolute confidence had been shattered. She didn't think she could make something as delicious as what was placed in front of her.
“...J-Just how could I be of use to Satomi-san...?”
Since Yurika imagined she would be of some use to Koutarou through cooking, she couldn't do anything but cry at the scene in front of her.

“Nijino-san...”
While Harumi sympathized with Yurika, she was able to accept that Koutarou could cook.
“But... if you calm down and think about it, it's not strange for him to be able to cook”
“... Why is that?”
“He's ardent about knitting, and he treasures the equipment he uses for baseball and insect hunting. So if a person like that had to cook, I think it's only natural for him to be good at it”
Harumi could actually think of one more reason as to why Koutarou was able to cook so well.
Satomi-kun grew up in a motherless family... He must have had the groundwork for housework covered even before he went to Forthorthe...
However, that reason was far too sad to speak of. That's why Harumi pretended she didn't notice that and closed her mouth.
“Harumi, Harumi. Does that mean that someone who half-asses everything like Yurika would never be able to match Koutarou?”
“Uhm~~ that's~~”
“Sakuraba-senpai, could you please deny that right away~!”
Harumi found herself unable to deny Sanae's cruel words and Yurika's tears continued to pour out.
