People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Hmm? Hmm? Yuko, why do you seem so excited, like you've seen a savior? Grayfia suits you perfectly. She and Sakuya are different styles, but both are reliable maids."

Gurefia just smiled and nodded without saying anything, while Ichihara Yuko ran directly to Bai Yu's side and whispered what had just happened in Bai Yu's ear under Bai Yu's puzzled gaze. Bai Yu was also stunned. Was this a bonus from the exclusive item?

Eri Kisaki said with some surprise, "My God, just like Sakuya, you have that innate '053' sense of style. Grayfia, you... have you never worn this before?"

"No, honey, I feel like this outfit has a special mission."

"Hmm? Mission?"

"You can't say it like that. It's just that I feel this garment is more than just a piece of clothing. In terms of words and actions, I also need to maintain my manners, otherwise it would be improper."

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "So, it looks like things are about to get interesting at home?"

Gurefia blinked, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Interesting?"

“Yes, you’ve already planned how to build your house, but you haven’t planned to hire servants yet. That means the house will only be cleaned on a large scale during a big cleaning. If you plan to handle it yourselves, then you’ll really end up like Sakuya, with two head maids.”

Gurefia paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I feel like we really need to study this carefully. I plan to talk to Sakuya when she comes over later. Lucy, don't look down at your phone so much. Even though you're not nearsighted, it's best not to do that."

Lucifer's eye twitched as she looked at the messages in the group chat. She was in a dilemma. Logically speaking, she was the eldest sister in the family and often complained that the team was hard to manage and that there were few reliable people.

Now, things are much better. Suddenly, there's a very reliable person here. Although she was reliable before, Griffia had always been quite laid-back. Now that she's suddenly taking charge, Griffia is very pleased and satisfied. But... it seems like she's being disciplined too! What should she do?!

While eating ice cream, Shiba Saori said with some surprise, "This is really the most like the maid described in the book I've ever seen, no, the head maid. She's completely different from the maids in the maid cafes."

Upon hearing this, Gurefia said softly, "We used to have many maids at home, but even the newest intern maid is far more professional than the so-called maids in those maid cafes."

"The maids in maid cafes are just catering to those who have never seen maids before and want to be called 'master' by cute girls. Calling it a maid cafe is an understatement; it's more like having waitresses who use maid outfits as props to please customers."

Saori Shiba nodded and said, "I feel the same way. Inoue-senpai, you've been writing in your notebook the whole time. Are you writing a manuscript?"

"No, it's more like sorting things out. Besides, it's definitely not good to release some information now. Mr. Shiraha, do you think we should release information about the U17 competition? If so, Fudomine and the others will also have to undergo hellish training."

Bai Yu pulled Gurefia aside and said with a smile, "Of course we can talk about the competition, but it's better not to mention that you got the information from me. Besides, judging by the time, we'll probably be gathering at the end of the month, so the 'devil training' will only last a few days."

"Indeed. By the way, Mr. Bai Yu, can you guess who will be selected in the end?"

"This isn't a difficult thing, it can be analyzed very easily."

"Oh, then I will certainly heed your teachings."

"Among the captains of the four finalists in the national tournament, Kunimitsu will be selected. Akutsu Jin, who has excellent athleticism, will be a great singles player. The strongest player is definitely Ishida Gin. Shusuke and Echizen Ryoma are both outstanding players. Higa Middle School's Kite has national-level physical qualities and skills."

"In doubles, the strongest pair is undoubtedly Marui Bunta from Rikkai University and Oishi, who has the most stable backcourt and can easily synchronize with the ball. Toyama Kintaro and Kirihara Akaya are also the same type of kid as Echizen Ryoma, so they will definitely make it, although Kirihara Akaya's playing style is rather extreme..."

"Besides that, there's Genichiro, who's also a national-level captain, and Niou Masaharu, who, aside from strength and stamina, is arguably the strongest among middle school students in terms of skill and teamwork. This is the best and most reasonable personnel arrangement..."

Inoue Mamoru and Shiba Saori both nodded repeatedly. Shiba Saori asked with some doubt, "Mr. Shiraha, what about Yanagi Renji and Tachibana Yoshihira, who are also at the national level?"

"Renji and Inui Sadaharu are the same type of player. They would be the best alternatives, no, it should be said that Renji is the best backup option. If there's no doubles vacancy, their strength is ultimately lacking. Perhaps they could be nutritionists, although the drinks they make..."

Hearing this, even Gurefia's eyes twitched. During the barbecue competition, Inui Sadaharu's nutritional drinks almost wiped out those guys, and even Pander's soul almost left his body.

"That's true. What about Tachibana Yoshihira, Chitose Senri, and Oshitari Yuushi?"

"It's the same. It's not that their abilities conflict, or that they're not particularly outstanding, but they're all at the national level. So being a substitute is the best option. To be honest, there's someone for every extreme 0.1 level, and even for the most balanced 0.1 level, there's Shiraishi Kuranosuke. So... it's really a level that's obvious at a glance."

Shiba Saori nodded, looking like she had learned something. Inoue Mamoru breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Shiraha, thank you so much for today. However, there is one last thing I want to know. Perhaps only you in the country know about this."

"You want to ask if this team will win, right?"

"Yes."

"Sports competitions can never be absolutely predicted, but considering overall strength..."

"There has been great progress, but we cannot reach the top."

"really...."

Although the result was rather harsh, it was still expected. In the U17 competition, our country's ranking has consistently remained neither high nor low.

After Inoue Mamoru talked to Shiraha for a long time, while Griffia and the others sat quietly to the side and watched. Eri Kisaki would chat with Shiraha from time to time. It was clear that she had been very relaxed these past few days, eating slowly and not paying any attention to what time it was.

"I am truly grateful to Mr. Bai Yu for today. It's getting late, and I still need to write a manuscript tomorrow. This place is really wonderful. If we have time, I think we will come here often."

"We welcome every customer who pays for their meal at any time."

"Haha, Mr. Bai Yu is certainly humorous. So, how much will this meal cost...?"

"Four thousand two."

"Okay, four...four thousand two?!"

Shiba Saori stared blankly and said, "Eh? Mr. Shiraha, isn't something wrong? Why is it so cheap?!"

Didn't Zhou Zhu and the others tell you the prices for meals at the restaurant?

Inoue Mamoru said blankly, "They only said it was very cheap and affordable, but... I really didn't expect it to far exceed my expectations. It feels like I've found a treasure."

Shiba Saori nodded blankly. When the two of them left after paying, they both wondered if they were dreaming. It wasn't until they walked out of the street and heard the noise from the next street that they came back to their senses. The contrast was indeed very obvious.

"Mr. Bai Yu's shop really has a unique feel to it, it feels like I've discovered a treasure."

"Indeed, but Ah Zhi, you seem very happy."

"Absolutely! For such a small amount of money, we got to eat such a delicious meal and also obtained a lot of information. Most importantly, we got to know Mr. Bai Yu and the others. In every aspect, today is a very memorable day."

Inoue Mamoru nodded and said, "Indeed, but Ashi, you really got along very well with the ladies. It's true that women have a great ability to build friendships."

"Not really, they're all very nice people, so they're easy to talk to. I've decided to check out Mr. Bai Yu and the others' updates today; there's bound to be a lot of interesting stuff! As for the writing, Inoue-senpai, as the lead writer, I trust you!"

Inoue Mamoru also smiled and shook his head. He could completely understand why Shiba Saori was so happy. Besides, Shiba Saori was the kind of energetic girl who could quickly start a conversation with any normal person.

On the other side, Eri Kisaki finished her ice cream, packed a dessert to go, and then paid the bill. As she was leaving, Eri Kisaki turned around and said, "Ran is really looking forward to the amusement park. If we have time, she will be very happy."

"Ok."

"By the way, I was planning to observe secretly that day, and afterwards I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"What kind of help? I'll have to think about anything too troublesome."

Eri rolled her eyes at Shirayu and said, "It's easy for you. Let's meet at the coffee shop across from the amusement park. I also have something I want to ask you."

"it is good."

After smiling and saying goodbye to Lucifer and the others, Eri left with anticipation. She had been very relaxed lately, so she planned to take advantage of the time to talk to Bai Yu about something. Otherwise, she would have to wait for several more weeks. Since she had made up her mind, she wouldn't let herself keep waiting like this.

"Phew, I feel like I'm already busy even though there are only a few people here today. It's like I've gone through a lot mentally. Honey, you'd better prepare yourself mentally before Azazel starts asking you questions."

"Hmm? Only ten questions... no, only eight questions left. As long as they're not core theories about nuclear reactions or anything that would take decades to think about, they shouldn't be too difficult to handle."

"Uh...what nuclear reaction? Honey! This is no time for jokes!"

Bai Yu just chuckled, rubbed Lucifer's head, and then said nothing. Lucifer puffed out his cheeks and continued to chat obediently in the group chat, but after a short while, a finger pressed against his forehead.

Lucifer's eyes twitched, and when he looked up, he saw Griffia holding up her head with one hand while reading a book with Bai Yu. Oh no! It felt like a very formidable person was about to appear in the house, and it seemed that only her husband could handle this person.

"Ah! Husband!"

"Ok?"

"Esdeath sent a message! The millennium capital has been captured, and they are now hunting down the remaining rebels. The surrendered soldiers are currently being held in prison, and she should be able to ascend the throne in the next day or two. She really did it."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "With the help of Miss Najenda and the others, plus Esdeath's strength and military talent, the army's combat skills and overall condition are absolutely overwhelming the two armies currently facing each other. It can be said that victory is inevitable. Unless some special circumstances occur, the chance of losing is almost zero."

"Yes, Esdeath said the same thing. She also said that the minister's Teigu can regenerate in a week. After testing 460 with an attack last time, she sent several Teigu users to assassinate him a week ago. Under her arrangement, they arrived in front of the minister with almost no damage."

"Then Esdeath obtained several more offensive Imperial Arms, which also put the Minister's Imperial Arms into a cooldown state where it could no longer be used, so she was able to easily defeat him, right?"

Lucifer laughed and said, "That's right! Look at what Esdeath said. At that time, the minister was about to tell the young emperor about the Supreme Imperial Arms, but he was attacked by Esdeath's assassination squad and other assassins. The minister was killed before he could even say a word."

"As for how she killed the young emperor, we don't know. She said she had too many things to do, and she'll call us via video when she's done with her work and goes on her coronation. She'll explain how she did it. Okay, this looks like something fun to watch."

Grefia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Esdeath has been dealt with, but for some reason, Azazel is still completely silent..."

"Greefia, don't worry, it's alright."

"Um..."

Chapter 297 Esdeath Reaches the Pinnacle, Najenda's Answer (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Will and the others had all returned to the royal palace in the ancient capital. Esdeath was standing in front of the throne, with a blood-stained scepter in front of her.

With the sound of footsteps, Esdeath turned around. The Night Raid members, her assassination squad, and the Three Beast Warriors were all present. Esdeath smiled slightly and said, "Very good! Excellent! The thousand-year-old capital! Destroyed in one battle! From this day forward, I will usher in a new era!"

Esdeath's men were all excited, some even fanatical. Night Raid, on the other hand, had a complicated expression. While they were on the move, they were also gathering more evidence, and the results were even worse than they had imagined and already knew, far exceeding what the nobles had done before.

Therefore, they can only trust Esdeath. At least, Esdeath is good at managing her subordinates and is a woman of her word. Now they can only wait and see what Esdeath will do next.

Riva and Ran stepped forward and knelt on one knee in a courtier's salute. Ran raised his head and said, "All Imperial Arms users, except for the absolutely loyal suicide soldiers, have surrendered. All the suicide soldiers were executed on the spot according to the captain's... His Majesty's decree, without reporting. All Imperial Arms have been recovered!"

Esdeath waved her hand and said, "You must understand that although I am going to ascend the throne, I am not yet. I am still the captain of the Hunters and the Three Beast Warriors. You can continue as before. No, you are all founding fathers and absolute heroes. Hereby, I announce the first rule!"

"Everyone present! Outside of court assemblies, there is no need for obeisance, and outside of court assemblies, there is no need to address you as Your Majesty! Rise!"

The hunters all felt a great honor, as did Night Raid. They hadn't expected Esdeath to not only not kick them while they were down but also to treat them with such high courtesy.

Liva and Lan exchanged a glance and stood up, their eyes filled with joy. This empress seemed to be more capable than they had imagined. Liva said in a deep voice, "Currently, all the wise and capable ministers of the previous dynasty have returned to the ancient capital one after another. In addition, what should we do with the alchemist Dortya and others who were specifically requested to be imprisoned?"

“Except for Dortya, execute the rest of the die-hard soldiers who are still resisting! Bring Dortya to see me first thing tomorrow morning. Her talents can help the Empire. I have a way to win her over and make her stop hurting people.”

Everyone nodded without speaking. If Dortya stopped hurting people, then her talent, combined with the existence of DR Fashion, would definitely drive the progress of the times when these two scientists and some other researchers got together.

"General!"

"explain."

"After a day and night pursuit, our army has wiped out all the stubborn resistance forces in the eastern forest this evening! Not a single one surrendered, and we brought back two support-type Imperial Arms!"

Upon hearing this, Esdeath couldn't help but smile. Now, the whole world was hers. Her desire to conquer had reached its limit. There was nothing left for her to conquer. She had become the only noble founding empress standing at the pinnacle.

Will and his men clenched their fists, unable to hide their excitement. They had really done it! Founding heroes, meritorious service in supporting the founding of the nation! Their achievements are worthy of being recorded in history.

"Good! Good! Tell all the soldiers of the Peerless Legion! Return at full speed! At noon four days from now! Prepare for the coronation ceremony! At that time, the appointments and policies of the new empire will be announced!"

"Yes!"

Najendan said in a deep voice, "Four days? Is that so rushed?"

Lan turned her head and said with a smile, "That's why we have to fight like this. The Thousand-Year King was not breached, nor was there any large-scale destruction. Three days is enough time to repair everything. In these three days, we have more than enough time to prepare for the coronation at full speed."

"But speaking of which, what do you plan to do with those surrendered soldiers? The current Thousand-Year Capital can't afford to support so many soldiers, and you probably wouldn't even consider these ordinary soldiers whose overall strength is far inferior to the Peerless Legion."

"You'll find out in time. Go ahead and get busy. You're all free on this land."

After exchanging glances, everyone dispersed, but Najenda and the others did not leave, as they sensed that Najenda had something to say to them.

Esdeath chuckled softly, one hand behind her back, and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Isn't it that you want to say something to us?"

"Heh... As expected of my reliable deputy general. How many of you would like to work in the court?"

"Ha, instead of asking that, why don't you ask what you plan to do in the future? You know very well that we have no interest in power or politics. It's just that Lubbock and Brand are more of a civil and military man."

"What do you plan to do?"

Najendan sighed and said, "I've spent the first half of my life fighting, deceiving, betraying and killing. I hope to travel around and enjoy life in the second half. If you want to show your sincerity, just govern the country well. That way, we can find a place in the countryside to live a leisurely and carefree life."

"Hmm? Heh... You know my situation very well. The Empress is just my job. If you don't want to enter the court, you can take a sinecure and travel around or come with me over there. It's up to you. This is also a reward for you. I will definitely take Black Eye with me."

Black Eyes blinked but didn't say anything, only glancing at Red Eyes to the side. Red Eyes, without thinking, stepped forward and said, "Then I'll go too."

Esdeath's lips curled up almost imperceptibly before she nodded and said, "As I said, this is your reward. Whether you come with me or not is up to you. However, you must hold official positions. You don't have to enter the court, but you must occupy those positions."

"That's no problem. By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you."

"Najendan, when did you (Li Liao) become such an inquisitive person?"

Najendan sighed and said, "Instead of saying that, when did you become such an easy person? Here's the thing: you've placed us in positions, even if they're nominal, they're still important ones. Aren't you afraid that one day someone else will be in those positions?"

"Heh... Najendan, don't test me. You know very well that if I'm in danger, even if I don't lift a finger, the wrath of my family is something no army here can withstand. Besides, no one is my match yet."

"Let me be frank, I won't disband Night Raid on the spot like those hypocritical guys, but I will disband it in the name of an assassination squad. Night Raid will be the founding fathers, protected for generations! To use a fairytale-like word... heroes."
