People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Soryuin Shion covered her face and said, "That has nothing to do with it! This is a matter of principle! Which of those three points you mentioned even applies to this?!"

"Even if none of my bosses are honest, I am definitely very open-minded! And am I not pretty?!"

"Fine, whatever you say goes..."

Lucifer said irritably, "I'm telling the truth! Cerberus, stop eating now. You tell me, am I a very enlightened person?"

Soryuin Shion was originally waiting to see a good show, because she knew that Cerberus would not lie and would immediately give himself away even if he was scared by Lucifer, showing no acting skills whatsoever. However, she was soon stunned.

Cerberus nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Lucifer is very kind to everyone. Even when she's angry, she won't say anything. She can easily let go of even the biggest problems. It's just that when Lucifer is working, she's completely focused on work and never has time to come out and play with me..."

Lucifer said irritably, "Cerberus, you know... that document is taller than me... I want to relax too..."

Soryuin Shion's lips twitched. A file taller than a person—it would be exhausting! Soryuin Shion patted Lucifer's shoulder and said softly, "I didn't expect you to have such a mature demeanor, Lucifer..."

"Of course! Wait... Ziyin... what do you mean by that?!"

"Let's do it here. We can grab something to eat here too. That guy Gaolang is a bit too outrageous...he's too much of a drainer..."

Everyone looked at Bai Yu with strange expressions; they really couldn't tell that Bai Yu was tired or hungry...

Soryuin Shion looked up and asked in confusion, "This is... the Kiriya? Do you have a reservation?"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "I know the boss, I just greeted her..."

"I remember the head chef and owner of Fog House is someone known as the Empress of Fog... You can't be serious...."

Bai Yu pinched Kanadein Shion's cheek in an annoyed tone and said, "Shion, why do you have to think that way?"

Soryuin Shion rolled her eyes and said, "Fine~ even if it's true, I don't care anymore. I'm giving you two years. After that, if you dare to flirt with other women again, I'll fight you to the death!"

Lucifer was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What, two years?"

"You can check the group chat history; you weren't asleep last night, were you...? I sent messages, and everyone except a few people in different time zones agreed~"

"Huh? Let me see..."

Lucifer took out his phone, glanced at it a few times, and then gave a meaningful look, saying, "Of course I agree, Bai Yu, cherish your time!"

Bai Yu sighed. Reasoning with a woman was pointless, so he chose to go straight into the store. Zou Liuyuan Ziyin crossed her arms and tilted her head, saying, "In a sense, we still need to keep an eye on him, otherwise what if he takes it seriously?"

"The chances of him opening the shop every day are slim, and besides, there's Yuuko around; she really likes to rebel at crucial moments~"

"That's right~"

"Ah! It's Manager Shiraha! You're here earlier than I expected!"

As soon as Bai Yu entered, he saw Inui Hinako coming to greet him. Inui Hinako was someone Bai Yu respected greatly, like a teacher.

Bai Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "I'm a little hungry. But Miss Qian's shop is doing really well. My shop probably won't have a day like this, at least not for now."

Hinako Inui said with a smile, "Manager Shiraha is joking. If your store were located in a busy area, you would have more customers just by the price."

"I think the price is reasonable. So, Miss Qian, may I take my seat now?"

"Of course, that private room isn't usually booked much because it's rare for so many people to dine together. Shall we order now?"

"Sure, Lucifer, what would you like to eat?"

Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat... um... having a menu makes me unsure what to order... I'll have this teppanyaki and shochu-yaki, with duck... eh? This is... and I'll also have an egg rice bowl... What is an egg rice bowl... or is it written so vaguely?"

Soryuin Shion sighed and said, "You're a foreigner, so you probably wouldn't know. Try it and you'll see, it's pretty good~"

"Then I will..."

After taking notes, Hinako Inui nodded and said, "Then please come in, would you like some drinks first?"

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Miss Inui."

"Manager Bai Yu certainly knows how to talk. Well then, everyone, please wait a moment..."

After saying that, he took the order and left. Lucifer said with amusement, "Hey? Chef Qian's style is surprisingly similar to your restaurant's style~"

"Probably... So, Ms. Hiyama, Ms. Kurakichi, could you please tell me why you've come to see me..."

Chapter 380: The Experiences of Hiyama Shunka, and Shiraha's Strange Theory of Evolution (Please Subscribe~)

In the elegantly decorated private room, Bai Yu and the others looked at the smiling Kurakichi Rino and Hiyama Shunka, who was looking down and didn't know what to say, with puzzled expressions.

Soryuin Shion said irritably, "If I didn't know you two were rich women who could play with billions of yen like toys, I might really suspect that you two came here to freeload."

Rino Kurakichi said with a smile, "Oh my~ don't say that~ Shion, I told you, I'm just here to keep my cute little Shunka company."

Bai Yu said gently, "Miss Hiyama, don't worry about Shion, just say what you want to say~"

"Well..."

Hiyama Shunka nodded, her head bowed, and said, "Mr. Shiraha... you defeated Akoya, severely injuring him. I originally came to ask you why you used such force..."

Just as Lucifer was about to speak, he saw Soryuin Shion narrow her eyes and press down on Lucifer with one hand. Lucifer was also stunned because she saw a crystal tear fall down.

"But...but...Akoya...Akoya...why..."

Rino Kurakichi gently patted Shunka Hiyama's head and said softly, "Shunka~ It's alright, that lunatic didn't need to..."

"Um... thank you... Rino..."

Hiyama Shunka wiped away her tears, still keeping her head down, and said, "But now, I know what you want to ask, and there's no need to ask anymore. I... I don't know why I just wanted to see Mr. Shiraha..."

"see me?"

"Hmm... I've never paid attention to my surroundings before, so I wanted to see how Mr. Shiraha treats his lover..."

Bai Yu was taken aback and asked in confusion, "And then?"

"Then I realized... that the world isn't just about violence and commands... I... am very curious about and envious of that kind of life..."

Rino Kurakichi laughed and said, "So, Shunka and I are really close~ Seriously~ That lunatic Akoya actually treated Shunka like that..."

Bai Yu frowned and asked, "What did Aguya Kiyoaki do?"

Hiyama Shunka said sadly and dejectedly, "Aguya... Aguya told me to get lost... He said I was a useless tool, and he would never give me another chance... He said that if I hadn't been holding him back, he would definitely have won... It's all because of me, this burden. He said he wanted to get rid of Wakana's life... If we meet again in the future, he will mercilessly carry out justice..."

Hiyama Shunka's words were filled with sorrow. Lucifer and Soryuin Shion also frowned, saying, "This guy is a complete psychopath and a pervert." Cerberus shouted angrily, "How can there be such a man! Shiraha! You should kill him!"

Bai Yu nodded, a rare occurrence for him. Keeping such a guy around would only encourage evil...

Rino Kurakichi stroked Shunka Hiyama's head and whispered, "Shunka... why didn't you tell me the whole story? The worst thing Aguya did..."

Everyone was taken aback. Bai Yu said in a deep voice, "What else did he do?"

Rino Kurakichi said resentfully, "Kiyoshi Akoya... wanted to fight Shunka... but Dr. Ei used a strong anesthetic to knock her out, right, Shunka?"

Hiyama Shunka nodded silently, while Shiraha said in a deep voice, "Jinx is right...this guy's a lunatic...no...a crazy cop..."

Bai Yu said softly, "That guy... I understand..."

Soryuin Shion said in a deep voice, "A man who lays a hand on his own woman... or a man who is angry because of defeat... Tsk..."

Rino Kurakichi shook her head and said, "Shion~ you're wrong...."

"Ok?"

Rino Kurakichi laughed and said, "Shunka and Akoya have absolutely no relation whatsoever~ If I had to say something... it's probably that Akoya saved Shunka from being framed by his own people back then..."

Soryuin Shion and the others were slightly taken aback. Hiyama Shunka whispered, "Akoya has always thought I'm a blood relative of a criminal... a seedling of evil... He's always been very cold and vicious towards me... let alone getting close to me... Akoya said... I'm a seedling of evil... and sooner or later I'll become true evil... and when that happens, he'll show no mercy..."

Lucifer frowned and said, "That Aguya Kiyoaki is a madman and a chuunibyou! And a seedling of evil! Why doesn't he become Superman?!"

Hiyama Shunka whispered, "But I am indeed a blood relative of a criminal... I am indeed evil..."

Before Hiyama Shunka could finish speaking, Shiraha said gently, "Kindness and evil are never determined by one person, but by one's own choices. Miss Hiyama, would you do evil?"

Hiyama Shunka shook her head and said, "Of course not... because I wouldn't... and as a businesswoman, doing bad things would cause my employees to lose their jobs... so..."

Bai Yu said with a smile, "That's right, how could you possibly be associated with evil?"

"But I am..."

Bai Yu said with a smile, "If that's the case, among all the people that Aguya Kiyoaki killed, there must have been a few who didn't deserve to die. Miss Hiyama, as a businesswoman, you've stepped out of Aguya Kiyoaki's shadow. Tell me, is killing, using vigilante justice, and privately executing criminals evil?"

Hiyama Shunka was taken aback. She hadn't considered these things, but now... Hiyama Shunka nodded and said, "Yes..."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "That's right then. What he did wasn't upholding justice, it was just plain weird. You can't take what a madman says seriously."

Hiyama Shunka looked up at Shiraha, thought for a moment, and then nodded, saying, "So... I... am not a seedling of evil?"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Of course, you are Hiyama Shunka, the president of Wakana Life Insurance, and a victim of that incident. No matter what, you have nothing to do with evil, and you even rank ahead of the Kengan Association. Ms. Hiyama, you are a very capable businesswoman~"

Hiyama Shunka immediately covered her face and kept repeating, "I'm not a seedling of evil," before bursting into tears and saying, "I am who I am... I'm not a seedling of evil..."

Rino Kurakichi immediately hugged Shunka Hiyama and said, "Shiraha~ You really like to stir up girls' emotions, I'm impressed..."

Bai Yu suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "Miss Hiyama, you know about evolution, right? Maybe Aguya's ancestral lineage included some kind of monkey known as 'evil'? After all, the genes are there, and generally only primates like monkeys are easily angered."

"Pfft... Mr. Bai Yu, humans didn't evolve from monkeys, they're a kind of..."

Rino Kurakichi laughed and said, "Shunka, this is the first time I've seen you smile... But... I think what Shiraha meant was that Kiyoaki Aguya isn't human..."

"Huh? Is it that obvious?"

"Pfft~ Hahaha!" x5

Chapter 381 Kurakichi Rino's Secret, Tricks on Wu Huili (Please Subscribe~)

Hiyama Shunka didn't recover from this shadow and disappointment so quickly, but she was definitely in a better mood. And the most important thing was that Hiyama Shunka wanted to hire Shiraha as her fighter, but everyone refused. Then she just sat there silently eating her food without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, with Ms. Kurayoshi around, you probably won't have much of a chance to participate in the Kengan tournament, Miss Hiyama~"

Rino Kurakichi waved her hand and said, "I'm sorry, Shiraha, you're wrong this time. I've already dismissed all the fighters, and the top-ranked companies basically don't need to deal with many business disputes anymore, because maintaining the status quo will take a long time..."

Soryuin Shion said with amusement, "Huh? Rino~ You actually went and fired your own fighter~ That's really unexpected~"

"Souryuin Shion! That's enough! You know perfectly well what's going on!"

Soryuin Shion sighed and said, "What's the use of me knowing? You don't like me, do you? Wait... your ability... never mind..."

Rino Kurakichi's lips twitched as she said, "Shiraha! What you said earlier! You knew what I was thinking, right? I'm not that kind of person!"

Lucifer paused for a moment. It seemed there was more to this than met the eye. There was definitely some big news, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with Bai Yu.

Hiyama Shunka was also somewhat stunned, and quickly grabbed Kurakichi Rino's hand. Kurakichi Rino gradually calmed down, and Shiraha said with a smile, "Of course I know... but... let's eat first~ The food is all served~"

Kurakichi Rino nodded without saying anything more, while Souryuin Shion said with amusement, "I feel like rewarding myself with a day off today was the right thing to do~"

Kurakichi Rino rolled her eyes at Kanadein Shion, then looked at Shiroha who was eating quietly and said nothing, pretending not to hear anything and just eating with her head down.

"Those fighters you saved should thank you..."

"Huh? Bai Yu! I knew it! You must have known!"

Shiraha naturally knew Kuraki Rino's true identity. Kuraki Rino was the daughter of Hayami, the owner of the power company that wanted to rebel, but she did not stand with Hayami. Instead, she was a free member of the Kengan Association.

Compared to Hayami, whose face is so ugly it's unsightly, Kurakichi Rino is definitely a stunning beauty, and her personality is much gentler and more playful than those bosses.

However, it's as if her charm is a weapon; basically, just a few words are enough to make her fighters serve her to the death. She is also never stingy with her praise and encouragement, so her fighters always feel that as long as they keep winning, they can get her.

But it couldn't be that simple. To these fighters, she wasn't exactly a pawn, but rather had a purely employer-employee relationship. Those who wanted to get her were thinking too much.

However, there is also a terrifying rumor about her: her fighters cannot lose, nor can they afford to lose. If they win, they will win the heart of a beauty; if they lose, they will vanish into thin air. Although no one has ever actually won and it is all just their own imagination, the fact that those who lose will disappear has been proven too many times.

Over time, her place became like a legendary dungeon, where winning one night made you a winner in life, but losing meant certain death, with no chance of resurrection.

However, only a few people knew that Kurakichi Rino did not kill them, nor did she make them go mining or anything. Instead, she changed their identities, stopped being fighters, and simply retired from this place.

The root cause is that Kurakiri was protecting them from being killed by her father, Hayami, which is why such rumors exist.

However, this made Hayami too lazy to care about her side. He would just deal with the loss himself. Over time, Kurakichi Rino also became too lazy to care about the rumors outside. She only left behind a terrifying rumor that she would reward the fighters with everything she had and that the loser would die. Thus, the femme fatale of the Kengan Association was born.

This secret, like her identity, is known to very few people. Unfortunately, Bai Yu knows about it and understands it very well. The way he got it is naturally through Pianyuan Mietang and Wu Huiliyang.

When Bai Yu asked Wu Huili to investigate the whereabouts of the missing fighters under Kurakichi Rino's command, Wu Huili almost lost her temper and shouted at Bai Yu defiantly, "Garuda is still in school! You want me to investigate a woman with such a bad reputation! What do you want to do?! Do you want me to teach you a lesson?!"

Just as Bai Yu was about to speak, she heard a voice: "Wow! It's Bai Yu! Bai Yu, you've come to see me! Hey? Grandpa, what are you doing here? Is something the two of you doing here?"

Upon hearing the sound, Wu Huiliyang was still in a daze when he saw Garuda hanging directly on Bai Yu. Wu Huiliyang's eyes twitched. Goodness, even though he had approved of this relationship, he still felt his blood pressure rise.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Garuda, why are you back?"

"Because of the cultural festival, I came back this afternoon since I didn't have anything else to do. Bai Yu, what were you and Grandpa talking about? I want to hear it too!"
