People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Soraka tilted her head and said, "Akali, after we return to Ionia 2.5 this time, do you want to rest for a while? Come back when we set off?"

Akali shook her head and said, "There's no need for that. However, we can investigate some things. Lucy and the others talked about it before, you should remember."

"You mean... Oh! Should I ask Karma to help you? After all, she'll find out sooner or later."

"Such a small matter doesn't need to be done by Lady Karma..."

"Alright...but! Akali! My letter! Make sure it gets delivered properly!"

Akali's eye twitched, she nodded but didn't say anything, while Katarina suddenly became very curious about what was written in the letter.

Chapter 336 Esdeath's Coronation as Empress, and the Adorably Dumb Sheer (Please Subscribe~)

Soraka and the other two chatted idly, mostly about the past and things that everyone in Noxus knew. This was also because they had considered the coachman; no one knew if Swain had deliberately sent him, so they hadn't discussed many topics at all.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lucifer and the others were all watching the coronation ceremony in front of them. That's right, the coronation ceremony had begun, and some people who had never seen Esdeath before, or who had never seen Esdeath's style of doing things, had finally seen Esdeath.

At this moment, Esdeath changed out of her military uniform and cap and into a white and gold dress. She wore a white-trimmed black cloak with gold thread patterns, held a scepter, and wore a crown, just like a Western queen in a movie, which made Klara and the others' eyes light up.

As Esdeath said, after she ascended the throne, Night Raid was disbanded, and all the assassination squads were disbanded. However, everyone was given important positions and placed in the most suitable roles for them. This also applied to the virtuous ministers in the court who were dissatisfied with the previous dynasty's tyranny.

Sister, these are policies that overturned everyone's understanding one by one, but made Klara and others nod repeatedly, including the professionalization of military service, the reform of tax rates, and sweeping reforms of land, medical care, education, and so on.

This made the ministers feel both excited and relieved. If implemented, the empire would be stronger and more united than ever before. It was truly exciting and exciting to be able to dedicate one's talents to such a country in the final stage of one's life.

Najenda and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Esdeath was a conqueror, a war maniac, and a battle maniac, but she wasn't that kind of bastard. Unlike those swindlers, she implemented reforms that encompassed almost everyone, effectively sidelining the nobility and perfecting the laws to the greatest extent possible.

The ceremony lasted for several hours. During those hours, Lucifer and the others felt a strange sense of relief and pride watching Esdeath exude imperial majesty. This empress seemed far more reliable than some other empresses—I won't name names here. (Hancock: It shouldn't be me....)

No one felt tired; everyone was filled with excitement. Only after the ceremony ended did they notice their legs were sore. All the high-ranking officials remained in the palace, while the people dispersed. However, everyone was excitedly looking forward to a peaceful life in the future.

As Esdeath sat on the throne, she felt a sense of satisfaction, a satisfaction that came from the ultimate feeling of conquest. She had gained the whole world; she had reached the pinnacle. She should have felt empty, but now she had her own love and her own family.

So at this moment, she felt that her life had reached its peak, and all that was missing was a wedding and the arrival of a baby, and her life would be completely complete.

"You all know what your duties entail. If you have anything to report, speak now; otherwise, the court may adjourn."

Lan stepped forward, bowed, and said, "We understand. Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Regarding the arrangements for the nobles, Your Majesty allows the nobles to choose between having a title but no power, or having power but losing their noble status and being unable to inherit it."

"Most of them chose to retain their titles but relinquish power, while those who retained their official privileges but relinquished their titles were more concerned with how to continue their promotions. And what about the nobles next..."

"Ah..."

Esdeath sneered. The ministers were also curious about what Esdeath was going to do, and even Najenda and the others didn't know what Esdeath was planning to do.

"The empire does not support useless people. Since they want to continue to enjoy wealth and luxury, then increase their taxes, limit the number of bodyguards and private soldiers they can form, and eliminate as many privileges as possible, except for some insignificant ones. Everyone is equal before the law."

“Every month, we will send assassins to investigate. If they find anyone who is corrupt, keeps a private army, exploits civilians, or disregards the law, they will be reported immediately and their entire family will be executed. If you want to be lazy and live a life of luxury, then you should earn this money cleanly. No one should be allowed to touch what you shouldn’t earn!”

Everyone swallowed hard. Good heavens, aside from a monthly government salary and some insignificant privileges, wasn't this just an ordinary citizen? And one whose entire family could be executed at any moment, forced to live an honest life, and whose earnings would have to be largely given to the state.

But what can these people do even if they discover the truth? Regret? That would clearly mean something's wrong, and they'd be in big trouble. Even if there's nothing wrong, they'd still be subjected to intense scrutiny just out of fear. Angry? Even the number of bodyguards is limited, and all the Imperial Arms are in Esdeath's hands. What can they do?

I reckon if someone curses them behind their back yesterday, their whole family will be hanged the next day. However, everyone also decided to observe those who have given up their titles and intend to serve the country carefully. If they have no ulterior motives, they are probably trustworthy people.

The crowd raised several issues, some of which they didn't quite understand, while others simply reported the problems they had observed. Esdeath, as if she had been prepared, immediately offered solutions after asking all of them.

After the ministers dispersed, they were still enthusiastically discussing how to implement policies to achieve the best results, all looking forward to how powerful the country would become in the future.

Esdeath sighed, crossed her legs, and rested one hand on her forehead. Her scepter lay horizontally in front of her, and beside the throne was Esdeath's ever-present saber. Harley Quinn and the others all felt that Esdeath's aura had suddenly changed.

The combined feeling of such nobility, power, majesty, confidence, and so on made Harley Quinn and the others nod in agreement. After all, the Empress and the General were not the same.

Esdeath glanced at Kurohime to the side and chuckled, saying, "That's all for today then. I'll be at the shop at night. See you then."

Chelsea and the others were all taken aback. Was Esdeath talking to the small cube in Kurome's hand? They had seen it placed to the side earlier, but Kurome was holding it up in the council hall. Was it some kind of communication device?

"OK, let's talk about it when you get back tonight. I think you've saved everything. This is another video worth keeping at home."

"Heh... that's all for now, Kurohime, hang up."

"it is good."

After hanging up, Kurohime handed the phone to Esdeath, who propped her head up and looked at Najenda and the others standing below the steps. She chuckled and said, "Let's get down to business."

Hill paused for a moment, then said blankly, "Huh? Wasn't what we were talking about earlier about serious business?"

"Pfft..." xn

Chapter 337 Black Eyes' Genius Idea, and the Comfortable Crowd (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Najenda and the others were all quietly watching Esdeath, very curious about what the founding empress had to say. Esdeath rested her forehead on her hand, looked at the people in front of her, and chuckled, saying, "Tell me, who has decided to leave?"

Esdeath's direct question surprised Najenda and the others. After exchanging glances, Najenda nodded and said, "As expected, you don't have the habit of beating around the bush. We plan to all go to the store, or rather, go over there."

Esdeath smiled slightly and said, "Tell me your reasons. Although it was within my expectations that you all made this choice."

"There's no particular reason. We simply don't have any intention of getting involved in politics or the military. We just want to relax a bit. If you take Kurome with you, Akame will naturally follow. Mine is very curious about life over there. Hill and Chelsea don't have any particular thoughts; they just want to be with everyone. As for Leone, she simply has nowhere else to go to join in the fun."

Leone's eyes twitched as she said, "Boss, is it really okay to be so direct? Well, it's not a problem. Besides, I'm quite curious about that side of the road. I really want to see if it's as interesting as Mine and Boss described."

Esdeath nodded, glanced at her phone, and said, "Come to my palace at dusk today. By the way, if you plan to wander around there, you don't need to pack any luggage."

"Anything?! You don't even need to bring a change of clothes?!"

"This doesn't count as luggage, just bring the night's. Hmm... never mind, no need to bring a change of clothes, Kurohime."

"Ok?"

Esdeath said with a hint of amusement, "You guys, tell Kurohime your body measurements. Kurohime, tell me within an hour. I'm in my bedroom, so that's all for now."

Esdeath, carrying her saber and scepter and dragging her cloak, walked towards her new palace. Now that she was the Empress, she naturally couldn't live in her old place. In the past few days, besides preparing for the grand ceremony, she had been redecorating her new palace. Esdeath had practically demolished and rebuilt it entirely.

Esdeath had barely left when Kurohime appeared out of nowhere with a pen and paper, tilting her head and saying, "You guys tell me, or you write it down yourselves~"

“Uh…”xn

Najenda clicked her tongue and said, "I can't really say for sure right now, I need to measure it."

Black Eyes pulled out a soft measuring tape from who-knows-where, causing everyone's eyes to twitch. "Are you a treasure chest?! How come you have everything you could want?!"

Akame, unusually, twitched at the corner of her mouth and said, "Kurotomi... why do you carry these things with you?"

Black Eyes tilted her head and said, "Hmm? The captain told me to bring it, saying we might need it at any time..."

"Uh..."

Mine's eyes twitched as she said, "Huh? What did she make you bring? Is there anything she hasn't brought out yet?!"

Kurohime thought for a moment and then took out a small mirror from her pocket. Everyone's eyes twitched. Goodness, you really are a treasure trove, aren't you? When are you going to use this mirror?!

"Hurry up and take the measurements. We need accurate data. You're all women, so you shouldn't have any worries."

After Kurohime finished speaking, she stood to the side, hugging Yatsufusa without saying a word. Akame and the others hesitated for a moment before starting to measure. Suddenly, Kurohime's eyes lit up as she realized something.

With a blank expression, Kuroko looked at the group measuring each other and said, "And arms, neck, legs, and fingers."

"Huh?!" xn

Mine stared blankly and said, "The arms and legs are fine, but...why are there also a neck and fingers?!"

Kurohime paused for a moment before saying, "The captain said so."

If Esdeath were here, she would definitely praise Kurohime properly. As expected of her teammate, she really understands her. Najenda and the others felt something was wrong, but they didn't say anything and measured everyone.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lucifer and the others were still discussing Esdeath's coronation ceremony. Lacus said excitedly, "This is the first time I've ever seen a complete coronation ceremony! Esdeath is amazing! She really won!"

Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although Esdeath's thought process can be a bit strange at times, I have to say, she's reliable. She has the aura of an empress. Very good, another queen in the family."

Beelzebub, propping his chin on his hand, said, "How many real queens are there in the house now?"

Zdrada exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Boss, Esdeath, Hancock, Beelzebub, and you seem to be one too..."

"Hmm? Sure, but to be honest, I'm more interested in my date with Bai Yu in a while than anything like 'Queen' or anything like that."

Yuko Ichihara asked with some doubt, "Where are you planning to take your husband on a date? It seems you were only recently released, and you're usually with us. Are you sure you've decided where to go?"

"Of course! That's why I'm a good woman who would make a wife."

"Tch!" xn

If it were anything else, it might be fine, but when it comes to being a good wife, even Yagokoro Eirin cares a lot. Beelzebub didn't care and suddenly laughed and said, "Hey, hey, hey, Sora and the others can't see it yet. When Esdeath comes over tonight, they'll probably ask her all over about it."

"Tonight? Then they'll have to take a number."

"What do you mean?"

Lucifer raised his chin, and everyone turned their heads to see Azazel writing furiously, seemingly engrossed in something. They almost forgot that it was Saturday, and Azazel and the others hadn't gone shopping but had all come to WGO.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Zhengyi and Riven who went to the gym, Baphomet who went to see the construction site of their future manor, and Asuna and others who were tutoring the Nakano Five Sisters. Jiya usually tutors the five of them on Saturdays.

It's worth mentioning that Kirisu Mafuyu still hasn't come, but she did send a message. Generally speaking, Asuna and the others will have extra classes, and after that, they'll go out for a stroll. On Sundays, they'll go out as a group, but their first stop is always to catch Hori Kyoko.

"Hey, look, look! Esdeath posted a selfie!"

"So handsome!"

Chapter 338 The Surprised Nakano Five Sisters, Elena's Question (Please Subscribe~)

Asuna and the others knew that today was Esdeath's coronation day, but they had to tutor Nakano Ichika and the others. It's worth mentioning that Shiraha wasn't at the shop today.

Originally, Shiraha was supposed to be at the shop on Saturday, but at the strong suggestion of Nanami and the others, Shiraha went out and had a good weekend, so they naturally took care of their own lunch.

"Hmm, Nino, your cooking skills are impressive. I didn't know you had such culinary talent."

Nino Nakano sighed and said, "It's alright, but it's far inferior to Manager Shiraha. And I didn't expect you guys, Aoi, to be able to cook."

Yoshikawa Yuki waved her hand and said, "I only know how to cook ordinary dishes. Among us, Asuna and Kyoko are the best cooks. Aoi, Fukami, and I only know how to cook some ordinary dishes."

Aoi Hinami nodded and said, "That's right, and if we include those who aren't in the shop... the best cook among us should be... Xiao Hong, right?"

Asuna nodded and said, "That's right, it's Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong is probably the best cook in the family, besides Erina and the others from Totsuki Culinary Academy, and Saki and the others who are professional chefs. After all, that's her dream."

"Huh? What's Xiaohong's dream? To be a chef?"

"No, no, no, Xiaohong doesn't have any lofty ambitions, nor does she have high expectations for herself. Instead, she likes doing housework and cooking, and she's also a husband-obsessed person. So, her wish is to become a virtuous wife and loving mother."

"Huh? She has such a wish? But looking at it this way, Xiao Hong really does fit her usual self... What about the student council president?"

"Um... It seems like Benio has maxed out all her abilities except for housework and cooking. Although it feels like she's done her best to prepare, she still manages to cut her fingers several times just by chopping a potato."

"Uh...that really was unexpected."

Kyoko Hori nodded and said, "Yeah, we thought Benio was really good at cooking, but we were surprised to see her burning the skewers even though she was chatting and keeping track of the time."

"Yes, yes, judging by the time, it shouldn't have burned, but it did. It's really amazing. So, Sister Hongxu is suited to go out and make her way in the world as a manager, while Xiaohong is suited to stay at home."

The five Nakano sisters all nodded. Just as Nakano Itsuki was about to speak, Baphomet walked in with a safety helmet tucked under his arm. Seeing Hori Kyoko and the others, Baphomet smiled and said, "Oh my, they're all very reliable."

"Sister Baphomet, would you like some too?"

"No, no, I've already eaten. I just came back to grab something and left. Honey, aren't you back yet?"

Aoi Hinami thought for a moment and said, "I asked my husband what he was planning to do earlier, and he said he was going to visit someone. I don't know exactly who he was going to visit, but as long as it's not that Izumi Hatsumi, it should be fine."

"That's true. You guys take your time eating. I'll go get something."

"Oh...hey! Sister Baphomet!"

"what?"

"Are you already preparing to break ground?"

Bafengte nodded and said, "Yes, all the documents are in place, and the construction teams are arriving one after another. With all the materials and stuff, we can start breaking ground no later than the 10th of next month. We'll get the courtyard and surrounding area done first. In short, it will take at least a year to complete."

"It's been a long time."

"This is already the best construction team and building crew I have. Yuko also needs to refine the interior design of the main house and some other decorations. So, you see it as slow, but it's actually quite fast. Normally it would take more than three years."

“Oh.…”xn

Baphomet ran out again after grabbing his things. Ichika Nakano sighed and said, "Lucy and the others seem like they're all lazy, but they're actually very busy every day."

"Yeah, especially now. Wu is opening a dojo, Yu Mei's family has signed a contract with WGO, and they also have a collaboration with HUB. Her family is starting to build their future house, and they're going to check out U17. And... there are so many things to do."

"However, it's not wrong to call Lucy and the others 'salted fish,' after all, salted fish are really salted fish."
