People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Mine propped her chin on her hand and said, "You don't need any special training to tell that she definitely has something to say. Miss Katarina, you should be better at these things."

Katarina paused for a moment, but nodded and said, "That's right. And her gaze lingered on Mr. Shiraha, Ms. Nakiri Managi, and Ms. Dekkera for more than five seconds twelve, seven, and four times respectively. It seems to be related to your identities or professions."

Nakiri Managi waved her hand and said, "Since you're going to stay here for a long time, you can just call everyone by their names. And Mine and the others, we're all family living under the same roof, there's no need to be so polite."

"That's right!"

Katarina paused for a moment, nodded, and didn't say anything. Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "So, instead of all that nonsense, it's better to focus on the present. There's a match tomorrow, and then the U17 training camp starts this week."

"My husband is going to an amusement park during his week off. Here's a reminder to some of you ladies: if you're going, just say so openly and go with a group. If you get caught sneaking off guard, my family owns a restaurant, so there's plenty of durian for you."

“Uh…”

Modis and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths. Kneeling on durians posed no threat to them, but it was just too humiliating. It would probably be a black mark on their history for life.

Akame wiped her mouth and asked with some confusion, "So, what is durian?"

Najenda and the others weren't sure either. Tsunade and the others had just asked them to look it up on their phones. After finding out it was fruit, they were quite curious. Katarina paused for a moment and said, "Is it considered a punishment because it smells bad? But wasn't it supposed to be soft and sweet? What kind of punishment is this?"

While grabbing food from Kaguya Houraisan and the others, Yuuko Ichihara laughed and said, "Look at that durian shell, doesn't it have a lot of thorns?"

"Yeah, and then what?"

"Oh, you open the durian, spread the peel on the ground, and then..."

"Then?"

"Kneel down!"

"Heh heh! Kaguya! You've really grown up, haven't you? Trying to steal my ribs!"

"I earned it through my own abilities!"

Seeing the group of people getting lively again, Katarina and the others glanced down at the durian picture on their phones. The thought of kneeling on durians made their eyes twitch. Even though they were all female assassins, wounded and unafraid of injury, none of them wanted to get hurt if they could, especially not in this way!

Mai Sakurajima wasn't quite used to eating in such a lively setting, especially since these beautiful women really didn't care about their image at all, but no one was taking her food away.

Is this compensation for what happened to Yuno Mya? Or is it to protect the guests? Or did I not eat that much to begin with? Just then, a clear, cold voice came over: "The sisters in the family only eat like this when the whole family is together. If you don't want to go hungry this afternoon, hurry up."

Sakurajima Mai paused for a moment, then turned around and saw Kazami Yuuka quietly eating her food with a plate in hand. After hesitating for a moment, Sakurajima Mai said softly, "Yuuka-nee, thank you for earlier..."

"It's nothing. I was just bored, and Yuno cares about you a lot. She asked me for help, and as her own sister, I have no reason to refuse."

"Just as Yuno said."

700 "What did she say?"

Mai Sakurajima murmured as she ate her food, "She said... her older sisters are the best and kindest older sisters."

Kazami Yuuka paused for a moment, her chopsticks holding the food hesitated slightly, then she continued eating without saying anything. However, Sakurajima Mai wondered if she had misread it, but Kazami Yuuka seemed to have given a very gentle smile just now.

Meanwhile, in another company, Yumiko was rapidly typing on her keyboard when a cup of coffee suddenly appeared beside her. Yumiko paused for a moment, looked up, and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."

Hori Yuriko said with a smile, "Oh my, I really like hearing you girls call me that. But I used to call you Yuriko-nee, now it's Auntie, I feel like I've aged a lot."

"Auntie, you're not old at all."

"You're so talkative! Here, coffee, drink it while it's hot, treat yourself, don't overwork yourself, you're almost done, once you're done, hand over your shift, you applied for a two-week leave, right?"

"Yes, I'll be back to work as usual tomorrow. We'll start counting the next two weeks from the day after tomorrow. Thank you for your help, Auntie."

"You're my daughter too. Why are you being so polite with your mother? You're busy, I'm going to a meeting."

"it is good."

Chapter 400: Mizuhara Fuyumi's Reflections – She Must Have Experienced This Too (Please Subscribe~)

"So, Dongmei, are we just going to wander around here until we go to the shop tonight?"

Mizuhara Fuyumi put down her chopsticks, nodded, and said, "That's right. Although we had a very good chat just now, and all the ladies were very friendly, except for a few who were aloof, the rest were all very lively. But if we go over to eat now, what can we talk about?"

"They'll definitely start talking about us eventually. Do you want to discuss recommendations or ratings when they're all together having a lively time?"

Kakuzaki Taki and Kikuchi Sonoka both nodded in realization. Indeed, just thinking about it made them feel awkward. The most important thing for them was the impression they made, rather than getting a recommendation. They didn't necessarily have to apply, but they would in the future, and that was the key.

Mizuhara Fuyumi sighed and said, "I never expected it, I really never expected it. Mr. Shiraha's culinary skills have exceeded my imagination. It's truly terrifying."

Kakuzaki Takiya nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, during the judging, they were almost precise with the temperature down to the second. They captured every slight change in taste that caused a difference in quality. Their scores were so high that there was no way to argue with them. Moreover, they were very gentle throughout the entire process. They were very impressive."

"Yes, Manager Shiraha has always been like that. Moreover, Manager Shiraha never wastes food. He usually tastes the dishes quietly throughout the entire process before making his evaluation. He has great respect for both the dishes and the chefs, even when Subaru Mimasaka's cooking style reflected his poor character."

Mizuhara Fuyumi nodded and said, "That's right. What's more admirable about Manager Shiraha than his amazing skills is his character and attitude. No wonder that a proud and arrogant chef like Shinomiya, a bold and serious chef like Dojima-senpai, and a free and proud chef like Saiba-senpai are all convinced and working hard to catch up."

"Actually, it seems that Senior Shinomiya is not only completely convinced, but also quite afraid of Manager Shiraha and his family. He respects Manager Shiraha very much, but Manager Shiraha usually brings along a certain executive officer's wife when he goes there, so..."

Upon hearing this, Mizuhara Fuyumi's lips curled up slightly. She could already picture Shinomiya Kojiro secretly squatting outside the private room listening to the reviews—it was definitely lewd.

Perhaps because they knew each other so well, Kakuzaki Taki almost burst out laughing, already imagining the scene. Kikuchi Sonoka opened her mouth but then chose to remain silent.

“Yuanguo, just say what you want to say. There’s nothing we can’t say when we’re all together, especially in the current situation.”

Kikuchiko whispered, "Mizuhara-senpai...you...you...you and Shinomiya-senpai...?"

Kikuchi Sonoka remained silent, and Kakuzaki Taki was also slightly taken aback, looking at Mizuhara Fuyumi with some curiosity. Now that Shinomiya Kojiro was back, the two of them used to be rivals, and their relationship was quite good, which had been the subject of some rumors at the time.

Mizuhara Fuyumi paused for a moment before shaking her head and saying, "Impossible. I know what you're trying to say. I admit that back in Totsuki, I had that romantic kind of admiration for Shinomiya. But I've been out of school for so long now, and my career has stabilized."

"What I see, hear, and experience is no longer that of the proud and arrogant young girl I once was. Everyone has their own life now. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would stay single for so many years because of a vague feeling of affection or admiration?"

Kakuzaki Taki said with some doubt, "That's true, but, Mizuhara-senpai, you...."

"There are no buts. What I said before was one of the reasons. The second reason is that I can't give up my restaurant to start over. Besides, I've forgotten that feeling now. To be honest, even if I went back to my school days, I wouldn't make the same choice. We are destined to be just friends, and can only be friends."

"Because everyone's lives can't intersect, they can only be parallel lines that are infinitely close. So, for the sake of one's own life stability, for one's own future happiness, and for the stability of one's family, out of a sense of responsibility and a choice in life."

"I won't let this parallel line get infinitely close. I'll keep it at a level where you can barely see it. After all, life is a quadrilateral. Besides family, career, and kinship, you also need friends, even if you might not contact them once in over ten years."

Kikuchi Sonoka said blankly, "Mizuhara-senpai, you seem to have a very high level of awareness."

"No, it's just about learning the sense of responsibility that a normal person should have. Taki, Sonoka, it's great that you two started your own restaurant right after graduation, but don't waste all your time on your career."

Kakuzaki Taki clicked his tongue and said, "Mizuhara-senpai, I know what you mean, but I don't have the time or the mood right now. As for dating... I'll leave it to fate."

Kikuchi nods repeatedly, while Mizuhara Fuyumi shakes her head and says softly, "When your lives fall into an endless cycle, things will change, but by then you may only be left with helplessness and frustration."

"Will this happen?"

"I keep doing the same things: opening my eyes in the morning, washing up, eating the same breakfast all by myself, walking a road that I've walked for decades and will probably walk for decades to come, doing the same dishes in the same job day after day."

"Until late at night, I returned home exhausted and there was no response when I said I was home. What greeted me was a room that needed cleaning, cooking or having a late-night snack myself, taking a shower, and then lying in bed watching TV. That was my day. At first, I thought it was great and I felt very independent."

"But later you'll find that when you're like this every single day of the year, even on holidays like Christmas and New Year's, you're always going home alone, and you can clearly feel your age irreversibly increasing rapidly in this kind of life."

"That feeling, you may not understand it for a long time. It may be when you come home exhausted or sick, watching other people's families having a lively time, while you curl up in bed, turn on the TV and stare blankly at what to watch. When you come to your senses, sigh and go to wash up and go to bed, you will understand."

Kiko and Kakuzaki looked at the calm-faced Fuyumi Mizuhara, pursed their lips, and remained silent. However, they felt that perhaps Fuyumi Mizuhara had already experienced it, which was why she said such a thing.

Chapter 401 Confident Najenda, Unlucky Yukino Yukinoshita (Please subscribe~)

After lunch, Lucifer and the others went their separate ways. Some went to WGO, some went to the gym, and some went for a stroll or to study. Meanwhile, Bai Yu was strolling around with Kobayashi Rindou and the others.

Leone said with a smile, "I didn't expect to have you with me this afternoon. I feel quite honored."

Katarina and the others nodded in agreement. After all, they hadn't expected Bai Yu to be with them that afternoon. Although they were a little reserved at first, they eventually realized that it was nothing and the atmosphere became even more lively.

"Hmm? An honor?"

"After all, you're Esdeath's husband, and... in short, you have a very high status and strength, you just seem very powerful."

Bai Yu just smiled and shook his head without saying anything. Erina, however, said with some doubt, "I didn't expect Mikoto to choose to go to WGO. Tsunade didn't go either. What are Mikoto's plans?"

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Mikoto has been very mature and steady since she was little. She's probably gone to learn something from Lucy and the others. After all, she wants to find something to do and doesn't intend to be a lazy bum."

Alice thought for a moment and said, "Then Mikoto-nee doesn't plan to start a company with Yuuko-nee?"

"I don't know. Anyway, if I want to find something to do, I can just wander around somewhere. Aren't you girls planning to be lazy? Why are you asking these questions?"

Erina nodded and said, "Although I don't plan to become a chef in the future, I definitely won't be able to take it easy. I won't be able to be completely idle for at least a few years. Although Uncle Zongwei is the first heir, I can't just ignore everything. Besides, Grandpa also said that when we have children in the future, we'll hand them over to them to handle things."

"There's so much to do right now, and besides, most of your time should be spent raising children, right? Hey? Hisako, aren't you more relaxed?"

"Yes, I plan to spend most of my time at home, just like Xiaohong."

"This is something only you two would do, honey. What do you think is going on with Ran asking you to go to the amusement park? Is it because she's looking for someone to cheer her up, or does she simply think that agreeing to Shinichi Kudo's invitation in the current situation would be incredibly boring?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know. To be honest, regarding this matter, I personally believe that no matter what the situation is, I need to meet Shinichi Kudo before I can find out what happened."

"Anyway, according to Ms. Fei and the others, as well as Sonoko's blunt evaluation, this Shinichi Kudo is pretty bad, at least as a man you can entrust with your life, he's terrible."

"Everyone has different moods and ways of doing things at different times. Some people never grow in their whole lives, but in their old age, a gentle breeze may blow by and they will recall their entire life and grow instantly. It's just a matter of sooner or later."

Najenda sighed and said, "To be honest, Mr. Shiraha, sometimes I feel that you could have many other professions besides being a chef."

"Really? In terms of profession, I prefer the job of restaurant manager to chef. I should list it as self-employed on my resume."

“Uh…”xn

Nami sighed and said, "You'll get used to it. It's very difficult to get your husband to admit that you're very good at something. But Miss Najenda, now that you've recovered, your short hair looks a little strange."

Mine nodded and said, "I feel the same way. Sometimes I hesitate for two seconds when I see the BOSS. It feels weird when I see the BOSS now. BOSS, you used to have long hair, right?"

Najendan nodded and said, "That's right. And without being modest, when I was a general, my residence was constantly filled with nobles and high-ranking officials coming to propose marriage. The threshold was practically worn out. It was so annoying every day."

"Huh?" xn

Seeing the surprised looks on Leone's and the others' faces, Najenda said irritably, "What's so surprising?!"

"Boss... are you sure?"

“You can ask Esdeath, she knows about this too, because I’m much easier to talk to than Esdeath, and I have a much better temper. I even complained to Esdeath about how annoying these guys are.”

"Really... Then, Boss, why are you like this now... so..."

Najenda glanced at Mine and said frankly, "It's the same face as before, except that I dress more smartly, have short hair, and have even learned to smoke."

"You call this 'just'?! But, BOSS, you seem much gentler since you moved in?"

"I've always been like this, it's just that I used to be too tense, and now I'm suddenly relaxing and being myself again."

By the time Bai Yu and the others returned to the shop, it was already dusk. Sakurajima Mai had become quite familiar with these people. There was no way around it; these guys were just too lively. No matter what type of person they were, as long as they were normal, they could find the most suitable topic to chat about in the shortest amount of time.

"So, because you have a special status, you only need to retake the exam and don't need any more tutoring?"

"I can apply for tutoring, but during this time, including when I was thinking and figuring things out, I didn't forget to read books. It wasn't difficult."

"Quite confident, huh? No wonder you're a student from Shuchiin Academy. Hey, if the head of the Friends Club really is Yukino Yukinoshita, do you think those two will start a battle of wits?"

"Um... if it really is Yukinoshita, then it's unlikely. After all, while Yuno is more lively with people she knows well, she's usually quite quiet, especially when they first meet. Yukinoshita is also quite aloof. The premise for these two to outwit each other is finding a topic, a topic that can move Yukinoshita..."

"You might as well just say you're on the verge of collapse... But, Yuno, that club president, Utaha who was dragged over, Saeko Busujima, who is the last member Yuno went to?"

"I don't know, but to be targeted by Yuno, she's probably a pitiful child..."

"Uh..."

Chapter 402 It's actually Hayasaka Ai! Yukino Yukinoshita regrets it so much (Please subscribe~)

"Senior Busujima, you really aren't... today."

When Yuno Gasai, Saeko Busujima, and Utaha Kasumigaoka arrived at the Friends Club after school, they were stunned as soon as they opened the door. A black-haired girl was sitting quietly on the sofa reading a book.

Saeko Busujima and Utaha Kasumigaoka were both slightly taken aback when they saw this person. Yuno Gasai blinked and said, "Senpai, are you the president of the Friends Club?"

The girl turned her head and glanced at the three people who had come, and was slightly surprised. She really didn't expect that Saeko Busujima and Utaha Kasumigaoka were also club members.

The girl nodded and said softly, "Yes, you are the new members that Teacher Chabashira mentioned."

Yuno Gasai blinked, looked around, and then nodded, saying, "Yes, hello, Captain. I'm Yuno Gasai, a second-year high school student. Nice to meet you."

"Saeko Busujima, I didn't expect you to be that department head..."

"I don't need to introduce myself further, do I...?"

Yuno Gasai paused for a moment, then asked with some confusion, "Eh? Utaha-senpai, Busujima-senpai, do you... know the club president?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed and said, "Yukino Yukinoshita, who is in our class and one of the top geniuses of Shuchiin Academy, I should have guessed it. You, the president of the Friends Club, who has been away from school for a long time and has suddenly returned, are the most likely candidate."
