People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Hmm... Anyway, that Shinomiya Kojiro seems like a tsundere, but he's much better than that Izumi Hatsumi!"

"That guy... he's probably wandering around some country somewhere. But speaking of which, are you planning to stay in the shop all day today?"

"We'll see. I'll see how I feel this afternoon. We built a really cool attic, didn't we? I'm planning to work on perfecting this save file, but I don't have any inspiration yet."

"Aren't you Jinx?"

"Ok?"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Does your head ever lack inspiration?"

Jinx paused for a moment, then tilted her head up and kissed Bai Yu's cheek, laughing as she said, "Of course not! I'm a genius! But, honey, I don't have any inspiration right now. In a couple of days, I'll definitely make this save file super awesome!"

"Then we'll wait for your results."

"Ok!"

At noon, at everyone's insistence, Bai Yu prepared barbecue. Asuna and the others basically did the grilling themselves. After lunch, Bai Yu left. He wouldn't go over during lunchtime, otherwise Shinomiya Kojiro would probably have a meltdown.

"Hey, how many guests do you think will come today?"

"I don't know about the others, but Grandpa Nakiri, Grandpa Wu, Garuda, Grandpa Katahara, and Mr. Fujiwara and his family already make quite a few people. It's uncertain whether Shusuke and the others will come on Saturday."

Kitagawa Kaimu propped her chin on her hand and said, "I don't know about other things, but I feel like Sayaka-nee might not be able to come."

"Don't even mention Sheka-nee, she's had enough bad luck. She hasn't posted a single happy message in the group chat yet. It's obvious she's not even sure if she has time to come. Hey, hey, hey, what's going on with Yukiko-nee?"

"Hmm?"

Aoi Hinami said earnestly, "Look at Yukiko-nee, she always seems close to her husband but also a little hesitant. And lately she's been going to WGO a lot. Don't forget who everyone in WGO is."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Almost all of the decision-makers were staying at WGO. After all, Justice dragged Riven to the gym every day, Aoandon would occasionally go to the bookstore, and even the newly promoted big sister Beelzebub was basically at WGO during the day.

When these people get together, they can make decisions without the women's involvement, making them the absolute center of the family's fighting power and decision-making authority.

"So, you don't think Yukiko-nee likes her husband, do you?"

"I didn't say that, it just felt weird, and... to say something I shouldn't have..."

"Hmm?"

"I feel like Aunt Fei is being too gentle with her husband, and haven't you guys noticed? Aunt Fei and her husband are very affectionate..."

"Yes, yes, I feel the same way. Aunt Fei is so gentle, and I always feel that there is a hint of her being coquettish. I don't know if it's just my imagination."

Asuna sighed and said, "Let's not think about these things. After all, it's best not to get involved in other people's relationships, it's impolite."

"I'm just saying, I definitely won't discuss it with others. I do hope Esdeath and the others come back sometime, that would be really interesting. Who knows what kind of people Esdeath might bring with her."

"I just hope they're easy to get along with... no... normal people!"

Just as Kitagawa Kaimu was about to say something, she thought of Esdeath's personality. She figured that most of the people she liked probably had some strange personalities.

Kasumigaoka Utaha spent the whole morning writing in the shop until after 2 p.m. before leaving. The Nakano Five Sisters left shortly after. As for Asuna and the others, they naturally went shopping, and before leaving, they didn't forget to drag Jinx, who wanted to stay in the shop, along with them.

Meanwhile, at Shinomiya Kojiro's restaurant, Shinomiya Kojiro himself was not there. There were only four girls and three men in the private room. Shiraha's arrival broke the previously pleasant conversation.

"Manager Shiraha!" x2

Bai Yu said with some surprise, "Hmm? Ms. Kikuchi, Ms. Inui, Mr. Dojima and Professor Chappell? What are you all doing here?"

Dojima Gin said with a smile, "In front of you are all the judges from the semi-finals to the finals. Manager Shiraha, let me introduce you. You already know Hinako and Sonoka. This is Mizuhara Fuyumi, who was in the same class as Shinomiya. She owns her own restaurant."

"This is Kakuzaki Taki, who is one year older than Sonoka. She also owns her own restaurant. Their skill levels are comparable; both are star chefs. And this one is..."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "I know this person. He's Chef Guan Shouping from the Rilun Restaurant, right?"

"Yes, but how do you know them? Did Longdan and the others mention them?"

"No, the Nichirin Restaurant is in Ginza. How could I not have been to Ginza? Of course I have, but it was a year or two ago."

Guan Shouping paused for a moment, somewhat surprised, and said, "Huh?! I don't remember Mr. Bai Yu being here before?"

"Maybe you didn't notice me at that time, since I ordered takeout and left right away. Otherwise you should have some impression of me."

"Is that so? No wonder."

Hinako Inui said irritably, "Senior, we're here to talk about serious matters. Can't you finish talking first?"

"Alright, alright, Mr. Bai Yu, according to the initial plan, you were to be a judge for the finals, but it seems the head coach has other arrangements. Professor Xia Pei, please speak."

Xia Peier nodded and said, "Well, Mr. Bai Yu, we meet again. First, I wish you a happy engagement. Then, the commander-in-chief said that since the top ten graduates have been selected for the semi-finals, the consideration for the semi-finals is that one of the five judges will be an absolutely authoritative figure each time."

"So, after consideration, we have decided that each of the three graduates will be paired with an executive officer, plus either you or the commander-in-chief, making a total of ten people. The current plan is to pair Mizuhara, Inui, Sekimori, Kakuzaki, Kikuchi, Dojima, you, and two first-class executive officers and the commander-in-chief. We need to discuss this personnel allocation today."

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "But, no matter which group I'm in or who the others are in, one vote will be affected, right?"

"I've mentioned this before, but the head coach said that he believes the players even you would choose must be good, and he also trusts the professionalism of the executives."

"Okay, so the personnel allocation is..."

"The decision will be made by drawing lots, Mr. Bai Yu. Since all the executives are your wives, which two do you think should be sent?"

"Let's stick with Dekkera and Klara. As for Ann, she has a lot of things to take care of lately."

"Okay, let's start the draw now. After that, we'll determine the competition time, and then we can start preparing the schedule and questions for the quarterfinals and the semifinals. All of this needs to be completed today. Thank you all."

Hinako Inui and the others nodded without saying anything, but the final distribution result surprised Shiraha a bit, or rather, it was unexpectedly... lively?

Chapter 198 Serious Fujiwara Toyomi, Mizuhara Fuyumi's Interest (Please subscribe~)

Shiraha was genuinely surprised. His group consisted of Mizuhara Fuyumi, Kikuchi Sonoka, and... Kakuzaki Taki. Kikuchi Sonoka was initially happy to be in the same group as Shiraha, but her eyes twitched when she heard Kakuzaki Taki's name.

Kakuzaki Taki was quite happy when he learned he would be grouped with Shiraha and Mizuhara Fuyumi, but his face darkened when he heard about Kikuchi Sonoka. Inui Hinako said irritably, "Dojima-senpai! How did you draw that lot?! I really wanted to be grouped with Shiraha-sensei!"

"What does this have to do with me? We'll each take one, isn't that what you said?"

"Hmph! But this group is quite lively, Yuanguo, you're going to have to face this flat-chested little dwarf again."

"What are you saying, you old woman pretending to be young?!"

"Who are you calling an old woman pretending to be young?! I'm only in my early twenties! In my early twenties!"

"Heh, you're going a bit too far this time. You're so old and still acting like a little girl. Be careful no one will want you."

"Hmph! What's so great about you, you fierce little dwarf?! You have no figure and no personality, you're the one who should be worried about not finding a partner!"

"Old woman!"

"Little dwarf!"

Mizuhara Fuyumi sat silently on the chair, watching without saying a word. She was clearly used to it. Kikuchi Sonoka hesitated for a moment, about to speak, when she heard Kakuzaki Taki shout, "693, you big-breasted monster, shut up!"

"Ugh... I'm not a monster! Taki-senpai! Why are you like this?!"

"Ugh... Ugh! So annoying!"

Bai Yu seemed to be watching with great interest. Guan Shouping coughed lightly and said, "Manager Bai Yu, you really don't have any intention of saying anything."

"I feel like this is a kind of proof that we have a good relationship. Otherwise, we would have left as soon as we saw each other."

Hinako Inui and the others were stunned, pursed their lips, and remained silent. Fuyumi Mizuhara glanced at Shiraha with some surprise, paused for a moment, and said softly, "I heard them say before that you, Manager Shiraha, are a very special person, and now it seems that it is indeed true."

"Miss Mizuhara is much more easygoing than Miss Inui and the others described; she's not as quiet as they said."

"Hmm? They said I'm very quiet?"

"You are very rational, you don't talk much, and you don't have much expression."

Fuyumi Mizuhara breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's true, but I've never had a chance to visit your shop. I'm really curious. How about I go to your shop on the evening of the review? Do I need to make an appointment?"

"No need, the shop doesn't usually have many customers."

"As expected, you're a very special person. Taki, you should come along too."

"Hmm, I'm curious too. The world's strongest chef, with flawless dishes, can perfectly make any dish. I really want to try it."

Hearing this, the reclusive Kikuchi Sonoka whispered, "Manager Shiraha is really amazing. He can make any dish, and the prices are incredibly cheap..."

Dojima Ginya said with a smile, "You guys should go and see it too. You can learn a lot, but you probably won't have much of a chance to go."

Guan Shouping sighed and said, "Ginza has a huge flow of customers, and being a judge is already a squeeze of time. So let's talk about it another time when there's an opportunity. Professor Xia Pei, you probably don't have time either."

"Yes, it is a regrettable matter. However, Mr. Bai Yu is still young before I retire, so I still have a chance."

"You're welcome anytime. This shop, except when I'm on vacation, will never leave that street completely dark at night."

"That's really a reassuring statement."

Bai Yu and the others also exchanged contact information. Kikuchi Sonoka also said that she would definitely visit to express her gratitude when she had time, as the recommendation from Klara and the others had greatly improved her shop.

Meanwhile, in another mansion, Fujiwara Chika, who was looking down at her phone, perked up immediately upon hearing the doorbell.

"elder sister!"

"Sister Fengshi!"

The two girls opened the door and saw a young woman carrying a bag, wearing sunglasses, jeans, a white shirt, and a khaki cardigan. It was none other than Fujiwara Toyomi.

Fujiwara Toyomi smiled and said, "You're both home. Where's Mom?"

"Mom and Dad went to pick out souvenirs. Sister, why are you only coming back now? Weren't you supposed to be back at noon?"

As Fujiwara Toyomi walked into the room, she said with a hint of helplessness, "The counselor suddenly wants to arrange some kind of class meeting, it's just some school-related stuff, it's so troublesome..."

"Oh, but why would there be something going on on Saturday?"

"Who knows? Hey, Chika, is he really that handsome?"

"what?"

Fujiwara Toyomi paused, turned around, and said calmly, "Didn't you say your family was going to introduce me to a handsome and high-quality boyfriend? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Ah! No, no! Really, really! Super handsome, tall and good-looking, with a great lifestyle, and a very nice person. He's perfect in every way."

Fujiwara Moeha blinked at Fujiwara Chika. "You're trying to fool your older sister like this. I have a feeling something's going to go wrong. If you can't find someone this good, you're probably going to get a good scolding."

"Are you sure?"

Seeing Fujiwara Toyomi's serious, scrutinizing gaze, Fujiwara Chika nodded earnestly in return. Fujiwara Toyomi then smiled and said, "That's good, otherwise I wouldn't have come back..."

"Sister, do you really want to have a boyfriend?"

"It's alright. The main thing is our status, so we can't just find anyone. Basically, it still depends on our families to arrange things. Besides, we hadn't thought about it much before. Our families arranged for us to meet boyfriends, and they were great in every way. Of course, I was interested. If I miss this opportunity, what if I meet someone I don't like on a blind date later?"

"That makes a lot of sense! Suddenly I feel a bit of a crisis."

"You two are only in high school, you don't need to think about these things yet. By the way, there's something I need to ask you."

"Huh?" x2

"What's their name? It would be very impolite otherwise."

"Forehead...."

"how?"

"How would I know...? How could I possibly know about this...?"

"Yeah...you two can go do whatever you need to do. I'm going to take a shower and find some clothes."

"Oh..." x2

Chapter 199 Kirishima Touka Can't Hold Back Anymore, Kirishima Touka's Thoughts (Please Subscribe~)

When Fujiwara Daichi and Fujiwara Manho returned, Fujiwara Chika and Fujiwara Moeha were already dressed up and chatting. No one knew what they were talking about, but you definitely wouldn't see any video games or computer games at home. They rarely even played cards.

Has Fengshi returned?

"My sister is back. She said she's going to take a shower, then put on some makeup and pick out some clothes."

"Sigh...where am I supposed to conjure up a boyfriend for her...Are you two all ready?"

Fujiwara Moeha nodded and said, "Yeah, it's definitely all packed. But speaking of which, Mom and Dad, what souvenirs did you buy? It looks like you bought quite a lot."
