People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Okay, okay, stop joking. Didn't you say there were only a few people in the department?"

Sora Ginko nodded and said, "Hello, Hoshinomiya-sensei. I'm Sora Ginko, a junior of Shinomiya-senpai and the others... I'm also a regular customer at the shop. I'm learning shogi from Shiraha-sensei, so Yuno invited me to lunch."

Fujiwara Chika and Fujiwara Moeha nodded repeatedly, while Hoshinomiya Chie nodded and said, "Is that so... That's amazing. There was no one before, but now there are so many people. But... Sae! Didn't you say there was pizza yesterday?! What's it today?"

Yuno Gasai took out a baking tray from the side and said, "If you don't know what to eat, just choose grilled meat. It'll use up all the food in the refrigerator."

"Huh? Barbecue? Is that okay?"

Yukino and the others didn't say anything. Hoshinomiya Chie wanted to say something, but then she saw the group of people pull out bowls and chopsticks from somewhere. Gasai Yuno looked up and said, "Actually, the ingredients we used for lunch today are weird for grilling, so strictly speaking, it should be pan-fried meat."

"Ok?"

"My husband told me it was delicious."

Chapter 676 Shiba Saori who followed, Erma's rant (Please subscribe~)

"I think it's fine. Anyway, you don't have to assign homework, so it's pretty easy."

"Even so... oh? You're all back..."

As Elma and the others walked and chatted, they opened the door and saw Lucifer and the others chatting. Lucifer smiled and said, "Judging from your expressions, your onboarding went very smoothly today. How was it?"

Erma nodded and said, "It's great. I even met my colleagues, and they were all very friendly. Shiho also said that the lab is much better than she expected, and it's more than enough for her."

The ultimate goal.

Shiho Miyano nodded and said, "That's right, there are some special chemicals that are missing. I wrote a message to Zan Zan, and she said she would go and buy them later. But, it really is like we've been taken care of..."

"How to say?"

"My sister, Eruma, and I have offices next to Zhanzhan's office. That office was originally empty. Zhanzhan said she didn't like noise, so there was no one in either of her offices."

Akemi Miyano nodded and said, "Yes, and this morning, after Zhanzhan and the others arrived, they immediately had the office tidied up by people who were already prepared."

The judge, propping his chin on his hand, casually sent a message and said, "It's rare for Ziyin to be able to recruit someone, so she'll definitely value it a lot, especially since it's one of her own. It's good that you're close to each other, huh? Elma, you really should keep your tail in check."

"Yeah, that's definitely possible, but I feel that if we're going to live here, it's better not to let them out. Eh? Where's Manager Shiraha?"

"You've signed a contract with your husband, why are you still addressing him so politely? It makes you sound like a stranger."

"Oh...then...what about Bai Yu?"

"My husband went to a training camp, he should be back soon."

"Training camp? What's that?"

After everyone spoke for a while, Elma said somewhat strangely, "You mean a bunch of kids are going to compete in the World Championship and are undergoing very intense training? And Bai Yu is familiar with many of them, so he went to check it out."

"Yes, your summary is not wrong."

"Hmm... what is this... I thought Bai Yu would be the kind of person who would let these kids run wild."

"No, they are indeed very unrestrained, but their playing style is unscientific, and these kids are much more mature than many high school students."

Shiho Miyano paused for a moment and said, "What's so unscientific about tennis?"

"Hmm... a ball that keeps turning, a ball that disappears, a ball that bounces out of bounds on its own, a ball that can smash a huge crater in the ground... ah... quite a lot..."

"Huh? Are you sure you're talking about tennis? This is not scientific; it's impossible to hit a ball like that."

Lucifer and the others exchanged glances. Lucifer simply waved his hand, and the next moment, Shiho Miyano's eye twitched as she said, "Wait, what's wrong with these kids? This is completely illogical!"

"Right, a lot of people have complained before that they want to play tennis, feeling that playing tennis can make them stronger or something."

Erma swallowed hard and said, "That's really outrageous... Is this really something a human could do?"

"Otherwise, but, Elma, just a friendly reminder, only a few people are this outrageous. Most are normal humans. So, Elma, when you teach PE class, don't just give them high intensity. Just follow the normal passing standard."

Elma nodded and said, "I know. If you hadn't told me, I really was planning to increase the intensity like this. As expected, only a few people have such an aura."

"That's what they say, but in a sense, it's estimated that such a golden age will never appear again for the next few decades, centuries, or even ever. It's quite interesting."

"The Golden Age?"

"Whether it's schools, businesses, or even the 'Top Ten' individuals, they have all witnessed major events or seen the emergence of many geniuses who can influence a particular field or an entire era."

"It really seems to be true... Eh? How amazing... But, has Vermouth already left?"

"Well, she may have already left, or she may be leaving soon. This morning, after breakfast, she and her husband walked together for a while and then we haven't heard from her since. But she's definitely not with her husband."

Are you so sure?

Lucifer shrugged and said, "Because when we contacted our husbands at noon, Vermouth wasn't with them. If she were, she would definitely have come over to steal the spotlight."

"That's true... but I'm quite curious about that training, no, I'm quite curious about that tennis."

"It's normal to be curious. I'll find the video recording for you later..."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the road, Bai Yu was walking into the store, but he wasn't alone; he was accompanied by a girl who was still talking non-stop.

"Hey hey hey! Mr. Shirayu! I really think that training content is terrifying! Middle school students are still in the growth and development stage. Won't such a high level of training affect their bone development?"

"Regarding this... you still underestimate the human body."

"Is that so? Well, the food at the training camp is pretty good! It's a pity we can't take pictures, we can only record it in writing, what a shame."

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's for sure. However, if you really want to film an interview, you can wait until the U17 tournament starts and go to the venue to watch it live."

"Eh? That's so far, and we don't even know when the competition will start. Mr. Bai Yu, aren't you afraid that your duel with those brats today will crack their Dao hearts?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Do you think top players are afraid of failure? Or rather, are those kids who set increasingly higher goals and have their eyes on the world really that fragile?"

"That seems true. They were very resilient when I watched the game before... Ah! We're here! Hey? Mrs. Lucifer, you're here too! Good evening, everyone!"

"Eh?! Miss Zhi?!"

"Yes! It's me! Eh? Is there anyone I haven't seen before...?"

Chapter 677 The Depressed Boys, the Joyful One (Please Subscribe~)

Shiba Saori's personality allowed her to quickly make friends with people she had never met before. Lucifer and the others also learned that Shiba Saori had gone to the training camp with Shiraha today, and they all pulled Shiba Saori aside to ask her about it.

"Ms. Zhi, you mean your husband played basketball at the training camp today? And he played a lot of games? How many games is 'a lot'?"

"It's been more than ten games, and it's been a crushing victory. The whole team was shut out without any chance to fight back. It's so cool."

"Is that so? But why would my husband personally go and play ball? He doesn't seem like the type to volunteer to play ball."

Shiba Saori thought for a moment and said, "Because when Mr. Shiraha and I came out of the monitoring room, we ran into Tokugawa Kazuya. He and Mr. Shiraha were old acquaintances, and he said he wanted to test his progress. Then, after the match, we ran into Atobe and the others, who had just finished their morning match."

"And then they wanted to fight too?"

“That’s right. However, Mr. Shiraha didn’t say anything at first. It was Mr. Saito from the U17 coaching staff who came out and said that there were still sixty minutes until lunch. If Mr. Shiraha didn’t mind, he could play with them.”

"Oh...that makes sense. But those kids are probably just depressed. They played more than ten matches in sixty minutes, each only lasting about five minutes?"

"It wasn't just one person, it was Mr. Bai Yu fighting against two opponents all by himself, he was incredibly skilled."

"Huh? Is that so? Then those kids probably won't be able to sleep tonight. But how could they type so fast...?"

Shiba Saori thought for a moment and said, "It seems that it's because Mr. Shiraha's every shot is either so bad that the opponent can't even react, or the opponent can't even return the ball. The racket is knocked away, and sometimes the arm is so numb that they can't play anymore."

"Then that's it..."

Meanwhile, in the training camp on the other side, the group of people who had finished their afternoon training and were having dinner fell silent. They were contestants from all over the country. Some of them had always thought that they didn't need to be afraid of anyone at all. But after so much training and so many competitions, they were so easily defeated.

However, Yukimura Seiichi, Fuji Syusuke, Tezuka Kunimitsu, and Atobe Keigo, who frequently sparred with Shiraha, didn't seem to have any psychological burden. Kirihara Akaya clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "Is this the strength beyond the professional level...? Mr. Shiraha's strength is truly terrifying..."

Eishiro Kito gritted his teeth and said, "Losing isn't shameful, but being so easily defeated in a one-on-two fight is just too embarrassing."

No one was in the mood to eat. The absolute dominance of that team crushed them. They couldn't even see the ball, and even if they did, they couldn't catch it, and even if they did, they couldn't return it.

Fuji Syusuke chuckled and said, "It seems everyone is quite frustrated. If Echizen were here, he would definitely challenge Shiraha-nii again."

Yuushi Oshitari sighed and said, "I knew before that Mr. Shiraha was incredibly strong, but it wasn't until we actually had the chance to fight him that I truly felt that terrifying power..."

Chitose Senri was taken aback for a moment and said, "So, you all know him?"

"Yes, he is Fuji's brother-in-law. He is not a professional tennis player, it's just a hobby. He owns a restaurant, but he is also very wealthy, and many of his fiancées are beyond imagination."

"Brother-in-law?!"

Fuji Syusuke said with a smile, "Yes, my sister and the others got engaged to Shiraha-nii during the summer vacation. They're very much in love."

Kichihei Tachibana paused for a moment and said, "Not a professional tennis player? That's really scary... But what do you mean by having many fiancées and being beyond imagination?"

Keigo Atobe took a sip of juice and said softly, "Golden Entertainment, Royal Sakura Group, Totsuki, WGO, Wakura Life, Suzuki Group, the largest bank in Japan, Chris Vineyard, and many other such people and companies, all belong to their family."

“Hiss.…”xn

Kuranosuke Shiraishi was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "You're opening a restaurant like this?!"

"That's his hobby. He's not short of money at all. Besides, it's a night restaurant in a very remote location, and the food is very cheap. In his words, anyone who can open their door at night, tired and abandoning the bustling streets, must have a lot of stories to tell. Those stories are what he's interested in opening the restaurant..."

Everyone was taken aback. Chitose Senri said with some surprise, "Hmm? He really does look like someone you'd only see in a manga... He's really scary, but that terrifying strength and ball control..."

Yukimura Seiichi chuckled and said, "There's nothing to be discouraged about. Even world-class boxing champions are no match for Shiraha-san's strength. He can easily knock a sandbag away with a single punch, and his ball control is exceptionally terrifying."

"So, playing against Shiraha-nii is like being forbidden from jumping. If you jump, you'll be completely outmaneuvered. You've all seen it. Even when the all-around Tezuka and the stamina- and insightful Atobe team up, they don't dare to hit a single smash, and they can't even receive the ball properly."

Everyone swallowed hard. Fuji Syusuke smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need for you to be discouraged. To catch up with Brother Bai Yu's strength, you would first need to have that kind of physical ability and reflexes, which is basically impossible."

Tezuka Kunimitsu also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that the coaching staff will let Shiraha compete with everyone in the hope of dampening everyone's spirits. Here, if you lose the courage to climb up, then you are destined to be eliminated."

The others also snapped out of their despondency after being outclassed by a 4.6. Yes, Bai Yu was terrifyingly strong, but they would not fight against him in the future. They could take this strength as a goal, but they were still in training and their goal was the world. They could not deny themselves because of this.

"So, everyone, in the training ahead, we must be even more strict with ourselves and turn this unwillingness to be easily defeated into motivation."

Atobe Keigo chuckled and said, "Heh... Tezuka, it seems you've got some ambition brewing inside you too."

“I don’t deny it… Also, Fuji, you seem quite happy.”

"Hmm? That's some pretty good news."

Chapter 678 The Tornado That Gets Criticized, Kitagawa Kaimu's Friend (Please Subscribe~)

Shiba Saori stayed for dinner. When Kitagawa Kaimu and the others returned, they were surprised to see Shiba Saori. After learning what had happened, they expressed their sympathy and chatted with Shiba Saori.

When Shiba Saori left that evening, Kitagawa Kaimu coughed lightly, leaned close to Shiraha, and whispered something. Shiraha was taken aback and said, "Hmm? Kaimu, why were you able to ask that question?"

"I'm so curious! Honey! Can you help me analyze this?"

Bai Yu really thought about it seriously and said, "According to your idea... shouldn't you go find her alone? Why did you bring several people with you?"

"But! I don't think I can explain it well..."

Lucifer coughed lightly and said, "Haimeng, what are you and your husband whispering about? Just say what's on your mind."

"It's nothing much, it's just... oh dear, Garuda messaged me saying... originally, Kotori and the others were going to form a 21-member idol group to save Otonokizaka, and then..."

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "You're not going to ask me to participate, are you?"

"Uh... no, it's because Garuda thought I was a model, so she asked me to teach them stage presence."

"Huh? Why don't you just go find Rino?"

"Garuda said... because they haven't found all the members yet, and it would be too outrageous to go to Rino-nee without any achievements. If they like being idols, they can push them to Rino-nee after they achieve some success."

Lucifer nodded and said, "Is that so...? Then what were you and your husband whispering about? What's wrong with that?"

"Actually, I know people from Otonokizaka."

"Eh? You know him?"

"Um... When I was a model, one day after get off work I went to my part-time job and I saw a girl looking at a magazine. At first I didn't pay attention, but when I passed by twice I noticed she was looking at the same page. I glanced at it and realized that the illustration model on that page was me!"

"Eh?"

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded and said, "Yes, that was me. When I brought her a drink, she looked up and recognized me. She quickly closed her book. I'm not stupid, I knew she was looking at me, so I said thank you for your support."
