People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Yumiko, don't worry. Didn't you see how hard Yuta and the others climbed when we left? It's alright, otherwise your husband would have said something already."

"Um..."

Chapter 436 Kanzaki Kaori's Nervousness, Saeko Busujima's Thoughts (Please Subscribe~)

While Lucifer and the others were chatting, in another dojo, Mai Sakurajima stood silently in front of a katana, dragging her suitcase, while Yuno Gasai looked around.

"Sakurajima-senpai, do you know kendo?"

"No, I don't know how. However, this knife is clearly a very good one. It's exquisitely crafted and definitely not the kind you can buy on the market."

Yuno Gasai nodded and said, "Indeed, this material looks very good... Ah, Busujima-senpai, are you ready?"

Yuno Gasai and Mai Sakurajima were looking at the sword in front of them when they heard a few footsteps. Turning around, they saw Saeko Busujima in a kimono. Yuno Gasai and Mai Sakurajima were both slightly taken aback.

Saeko Busujima walked straight to the sword, picked it up with both hands, slightly unsheathed it, and said softly, "This is my grandfather's sword, and it is also the heirloom of the Busujima school. It carries the glory of our ancestors and the will to continuously develop and pass on the Busujima school."

Yuno Gasai tilted her head and said, "So, Busujima-senpai, will you inherit this sword 797 in the future?"

"Yes, or rather, this sword has been passed down to me, but... I don't consider myself qualified to be its master yet. Yuno, Sakurajima-kun, what kind of looks are those?"

Mai Sakurajima said somewhat strangely, "I don't know if that's true, but no matter how you look at it, you're probably the first person to wear a kimono to a restaurant."

Yuno Gasai nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I know too. Even someone as etiquette-conscious as Mai-nee has never worn a kimono before. Busujima-senpai, are you sure you want to wear this to the restaurant?"

Saeko Busujima put the knife back in her hand, nodded, and said, "Yes, I'm sure. For me, this opportunity and this meal both have special meaning. Yuno, let's go. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"No, rather, I feel a strange honor to be able to come to Pokjima-senpai's dojo. Besides, it's still early. If it weren't for the fact that we usually have a lively dinner with our sisters and husbands, most of the sisters in my family wouldn't eat this early. Some of them don't even need to eat dinner."

Saeko Busujima and Mai Sakurajima both nodded. Yuno Gasai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lucy and the others must have heard the news from Yuki and the others. They must be very surprised. Let's hurry back. It'll be very lively at home tonight."

"It's lively? Are those the two people that Sister Zhengyi and the others mentioned coming?"

"That's right, I heard she's a very energetic and well-behaved girl. Lux and the others have already tidied up her room and prepared her pajamas and everything."

"Hmm... I'm suddenly a little curious as to why Rino-nee wanted to send me to the store."

Yuno Gasai winked and gave Mai Sakurajima a meaningful look, saying, "Sakurajima-senpai, Rino-neechan might just be trying to make it easier to contact you, arrange official business, and enrich your life a bit..."

Sakurajima Mai turned to look at Gasai Yuno. Seeing Yuno's expression, Sakurajima Mai felt a pang of panic. What kind of expression was that? What did that ambiguous smile, with a hint of anticipation, mean? Kurakichi Rino wouldn't betray her like that, would she?

But what could she do besides move over now? Meanwhile, in the other apartment, Kanzaki Kaori was quietly watching the digital clock on the opposite wall.

Although she was very eager to get Index to the store right now, she also knew very well that it was still too early, and even though she knew she could finally relax, she still dared not let her guard down.

Index blinked, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Fireweave, when do we set off?"

"Hmm... 9:30, Index, are you hungry?"

"It's alright... but, Kaori, can we really just go straight through like this?"

"Yes, but Index, don't worry, I'll stay with you there until you get used to it. However, there are a few things I need to tell you."

"Ok?"

"First, there's Index. Once you get there, try not to use..."

Before Kanzaki Kaori could finish speaking, Index laughed and said, "Kaori, don't worry, I know what you're going to say. You said they're all very nice people, so they probably won't need to use any defensive measures!"

"Hmm... Also, Index, after you get there, Mrs. Lucifer and the others said they will remove your protective gear. And your current plan is to go to school there. You can choose your own school, so Index, there's no need for you to keep wearing the Mobile Church."

"go to school?"

Kanzaki Kaori nodded and said, "That's right, I've learned some things. Don't worry, many of the people living in the shop also study at these schools, but they are scattered in different schools. One of Mr. Shiraha's wives is even the chairperson of a school's board of directors."

"That's amazing, but, Kaori, I... am I never going to be able to come back?"

Kanzaki Kaori paused for a moment, then smiled, ruffled Index's hair, and said softly, "It's safer, more fulfilling, and easier over there than here. There aren't any strange things to learn, and there aren't as many dangers. Live well and study hard."

Index pursed her lips and understood what Kanzaki Kaori meant. To put it bluntly, Kanzaki Kaori meant that she could never come back, never again, unless one day all the churches ceased to exist, but that was impossible.

Index's feelings were complicated for a moment. After all, Kanzaki Kaori wouldn't stay with her forever, while she would have to stay there forever and still didn't understand anything. Although she knew it was safe and she would live well, the sudden sense of unfamiliarity still made Index a little nervous.

"Okay, Index, stop thinking about it. It's okay. Want some ice cream? We have one left."

"Huh?! Ice cream?! I want some!"

Chapter 437 Kirisu Mafuyu, the subject of discussion, and Saeko Busujima's inner thoughts (Please subscribe~)

"Ladies, Manager Shiraha, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Saeko Busujima..."

Seeing Saeko Busujima dressed in a kimono, bowing respectfully and carrying a souvenir, even Beelzebub was speechless for a moment. Good heavens! She's the most polite person he's ever met! Without a doubt! She even went out of her way to wear a kimono!

Lucifer and the others were genuinely at a loss for words when a soft laugh rang out. Turning around, they saw Bai Yu smiling and shaking his head, saying, "Well then, as a return gift, should we say... nice to meet you, welcome to this shop? I'm Bai Yu, the manager of this store, is that alright?"

Saeko Busujima looked up at the smiling man in front of her, pursed her lips, and said, "Manager Shiraha, I've always heard Yuno talk about you. Meeting you in person today, you are even more gentle than Yuno described."

Shiraha stood up and said with a smile, "Miss Busujima is even more particular about etiquette than Yuno and Benio said. So, what would the three of you like to eat?"

After finding a seat, Yuno Gasai propped her chin up and said, "Hmm... it feels weird to hear you say that, honey. Sakurajima-senpai, Busujima-senpai, please sit down. We can talk about it after dinner."

"Okay." x2

After Saeko Busujima sat down, Yuno Gasai tilted her head and said, "Let's have Chinese food instead, honey. I want braised beef stew and squirrel-shaped mandarin fish. Sakurajima-senpai, Busujima-senpai, just order whatever you want. We talked about how to order on the way here."

Mai Sakurajima nodded and said, "You can just tell Busujima directly. I know how to order. The three-cup chicken we had at the table earlier was delicious, so I'll order that. Four dishes should be enough for three people... After all, we can't drink alcohol, so we can only eat, right?"

Saeko Busujima pursed her lips and said, "If I can't drink alcohol and can only eat, then I'll have a vegetarian soup and three servings of rice. Thank you, Manager Shiraha."

"Okay, please wait a moment. Would you like something to drink?"

"this...."

"Honey, I want strawberry and guava juice! Cold!"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After Shiraha left, Saeko Busujima finally breathed a sigh of relief and took a good look at the shop. This shop was different from the simplicity of a small shop and the extravagance of a luxury restaurant, but it gave her a feeling that she had been here before, that she had chatted and drunk with friends again, that it felt like... like coming home.

Yuno Gasai pursed her lips and said, "So, Busujima-senpai, as agreed before, I brought you to the shop. I can help you resolve the issue that has been troubling you."

Saeko Busujima pursed her lips without answering the question, but instead asked, "Yuno, what do you think a monster should look like?"

Yuno Gasai and the others were stunned for a moment, but Yuno Gasai came to her senses and thought for a moment before saying, "My understanding of the definition between monsters and humans is whether they have human appearance and humanity."

"Human appearance and humanity... So how should we evaluate humanity?"

"As for humanity, my personal understanding is that a person's most basic conscience and moral values, not necessarily to be compassionate or merciful, should at least have a certain bottom line so as not to become like a beast."

If Lucifer and the others nodded, Yuno Gasai's description, though vague, was generally correct. Saeko Busujima pursed her lips for a long time before softly saying, "A beast...?"

"Ok?"

"Vulgar, savage, bloodthirsty, violent, martial, belligerent, ruthless, brutal, enjoying the thrill of the hunt, reveling in the spiritual pleasure of slaughter—that's what a beast is..."

Mai Sakurajima pursed her lips and said, "But there are also animals that eat plants, right?"

"Argali rams wrestle, antelopes fight antlers, even giraffes will fight for mates, even breaking another giraffe's neck... That's what wild animals are like..."

Yuno Gasai tilted her head and said, "So, Busujima-senpai, what do you want to say?"

Saeko Busujima opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing. Lucifer and the others could also tell that Saeko Busujima's mental state was very strange, even quite bad. This girl was carrying an unusually heavy burden.

However, they also knew very well that they absolutely could not rush her, otherwise the girl's mental defenses might collapse. Ichihara Yuuko coughed lightly and said, "By the way! Yuno! Have you finished setting up your clubs today?"

Yuno Gasai knew that Saeko Busujima needed to be mentally prepared, and Yuuko Ichihara was changing the subject. Yuno Gasai nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm ready, and everything is arranged. I easily passed the quiz in class this afternoon and then took a nap at the club."

"Oh? You seem to have a very easy life. What did your ministers say?"

"The minister just glanced around and didn't say anything, except that there were a lot more things, and that he should find time to make up the duty roster or something... The minister seems quite arrogant."

"It's normal. Haven't you noticed? These days, the girls with long, straight black hair who are sharp-tongued are usually quite tsundere. Kaguya Shinomiya, your club president, and Utaha are all like that."

"That seems to be the case, but Chabashira-sensei also has straight black hair, I wonder if she'll be a tsundere."

Sakurajima Mai's eyes twitched slightly as she said, "Tea Pillar-sensei is tsundere? I can't imagine what that looks like. I can't even imagine what her smile looks like."

Yuno Gasai pursed her lips and said, "Then let's invite her to the activity room. Chabashira-sensei has been saying she'd come, but she hasn't. Kirisu-sensei hasn't come either. They're really a bunch of adults who are hard to trust."

Griffia nodded and said, "Indeed, it's not very reasonable that Kirisu-sensei hasn't come. But if it's her, it's understandable. After all, she's taken care of Sora's family restaurant and asked Aoi and the others to teach Ichika and the others."

"So she probably won't come on her own initiative. If she did, she would feel like she would get a great deal by coming, like she's taking advantage of someone else. She probably won't do that."

"Indeed... Eh? Miss Zhi? What brings you here?"

Good evening!

Chapter 438 Karma is stunned, Akali's journey is not easy (Please subscribe~)

Indeed, the person who came was Shiba Saori, but this time she was alone, obviously she came right after work. Shiba Saori stretched and said, "I'm so tired today. Is Mr. Shiraha cooking?"

"Oh, Miss Zhi, what brings you here?"

Shiba Saori coughed lightly and said, "Because I'm on vacation tomorrow and the day after, and I just found out that the U17 team has started training camp. You guys will definitely want to go watch, so I came to see what news I have and treat myself."

"Oh, okay. We're going to watch the training tomorrow. Do you want to come along? But the training content is confidential, so you can't write it down in the report."

Shisaori's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly, saying, "Okay, okay! I'll definitely go! I had nowhere to go on my vacation anyway, so this is a great opportunity to go out and have some fun! As for all that, don't worry! I'm definitely a good reporter with professional ethics!"

Lucifer laughed and said, "You certainly answered decisively, Mr. Inoue."

"Ah, Inoue-senpai, he's going abroad for a few days, and when he comes back it will be around the time the World Championship starts. He'll be going to the U17 tournament after he finishes writing the report."

"Oh, is that so? Aren't you going?"

"Me? Hmm... I haven't thought about it yet. It would be nice to go out and have fun, but right now I don't really want to go anywhere. I feel pretty good staying in the country. With Inoue-senpai not around, I actually have a lot of free time. Oh right, are you guys going to visit?"

Yuko Ichihara waved her hand and said, "No, no, it's not that we're not interested, it's just that we're incredibly busy, especially from before Christmas until the New Year next year. Our family will be extremely busy, so we won't have any time. We can just watch the video later."

"I see... Oh right, I almost forgot to mention, when I arrived, Inoue-senpai sent me a message saying that... this U17 tournament seems a bit different from the previous ones. It seems like this tournament is like a final push before the end of an era."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It seems to mean that such a glorious moment will be hard to come by again. Therefore, the contestants from all countries will be fighting extra hard in this competition. Senior Inoue said that this is... a kind of resonance?"

Yakumo Yukari casually waved her paper fan and said, "It's normal. Let these kids run wild. We're going to watch their training today. These kids are really going all out."

"Huh? I don't understand..."

Meanwhile, in another room, Karma exclaimed in disbelief, "Lady Soraka, is what you're saying true?! This...this is simply unbelievable!"

Soraka and Akali arrived yesterday, but they didn't see Karma immediately. They just told Karma to come see them the next day, and Akali didn't say anything either.

It wasn't until the banquet tonight that Soraka met Karma. As soon as Karma opened her mouth, Soraka said, "Karma, I know what you want to say. Everything has been investigated and found out. Fortunately, there is no danger at all, and it's even a good thing."

"Oh? So what happened? Akali, you and Soraka investigated so quickly, does that mean you already found out at the first or second stop?"

"Yes, Lady Karma, please allow me to give the report. Soraka, you can add more details later."

"Ah...you're the one who's better at summarizing, so you should explain."

Karma was taken aback for a moment and said, "What? Sis? Akali, that's such a... "

"Lady Karma, once you've heard what Soraka and I have to say, you'll understand why I address you that way. So, let me begin."

"Hmm? Okay...."

For the next hour, Akali didn't embellish the story at all, even omitting the fact that she went back for a meeting during the summer vacation, only briefly mentioning that she had a husband.

It's not that Akali thinks it's unimportant, but Karma was completely stunned when she heard about it being in another world. So if the difficulty is increased, Karma might just crash. As the spiritual leader of Ionia, it would be a huge mess if she crashed.

After that, Karma fell into a long silence, or rather, she was completely stunned. After a long while, Karma finally came to her senses and said blankly, "You...you're all telling the truth?!"

Akali nodded, raised her hand to show the diamond ring on her finger, and said softly, "Yes, Lady Karma, everything is real. This is my engagement ring. And, Lady Karma, I also have my phone. I have videos and photos of what happened before..."

Karma opened her mouth, she really couldn't understand why things had turned out this way. The Queen of Hell, a restaurant in another world, and Akali had even gotten married? Suddenly Karma thought of something and her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Soraka.

Karma swallowed hard and stammered, "Soraka... Lady Soraka, the way you addressed me just now... you wouldn't..."

Soraka shook her head decisively, and Karma breathed a sigh of relief, having been startled. But the next moment, she saw Soraka say earnestly, "Karma! Not yet! I don't have enough courage or the right to openly express my longing and love! But this is my most important goal right now!"

"Ah?! Lady Soraka! You mean... you've fallen in love with... that gentleman?"
