People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Lucifer paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "How did you get injured?"

At this point, Rindou said with a displeased look, "That was when Kunimitsu was in his first year of junior high! I was just a freshman in high school, and Kunimitsu was a newcomer to the Seigaku tennis club."

Lucifer and the others nodded, and Kasugano Sora said somewhat helplessly, "According to the rules, first-year junior high school students all start by fetching balls, and Kunimitsu is no exception..."

Pandemonica said softly, "Kunimitsu shouldn't be the type to do something just to prove himself. What happened?"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "That's right. Guoguang and his friend, who is now the vice captain of the school team, Dashi, had an extraordinary dream, such as making it to the national championship."

"But Guoguang is very talented and even won a championship in elementary school, which made some of the older members unhappy. They wanted to show Guoguang what real strength is. You all know what their motivations were."

Everyone nodded, and Zdelada scoffed, saying, "Foolish jealousy and a desire for attention... and a pointless sense of superiority that comes from nowhere..."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Pretty much. In short, he called Guoguang to the competition, but you should also know the importance of the word 'talent'."

Everyone nodded in agreement. That's right. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can't beat talent. Bai Yu said softly, "Guoguang's talent is obviously top-notch, while that person's talent is just average. Guoguang naturally saw that, so he used his right hand to compete against him."

Nakiri Managi nodded and said, "Yes, Kunimitsu is very sensible. He didn't use his dominant hand, but his non-dominant hand. That's already a great concession."

Bai Yu sighed and said, "In the end, that member still couldn't beat Kunimitsu, and in his anger and embarrassment, he said things like he looked down on Seigaku's tennis club, and then he said something like... something like, 'Since you don't use your left hand, then I'll just cripple you...'"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, staring at Shirayu in disbelief. Sonoko nodded and said, "I heard this from Shirayu-nii later. That member hit Kunimitsu's left elbow directly with his racket, which is why he was injured..."

Justice frowned and said, "Such a thing is true?!"

The judge also looked displeased. She didn't know Tezuka Kunimitsu, but he was the chief prosecutor, and this matter clearly made her very unhappy.

Bai Yu nodded and said, "That's right. Moreover, Guoguang's skills, all of them are moves that put a lot of strain on his elbows and wrists, which makes Guoguang's injuries even more difficult to recover from and will also shorten his match time."

Kasugano Sora sighed and said, "Kunimitsu and Seiichi both have special circumstances. Kunimitsu has an elbow injury, and Seiichi has a special disease."

Sonoko nodded and said, "Yeah, that's why that arrogant brat Atobe always thinks the competition is too easy!"

Just as Lucifer was about to say something, he heard Bai Yu say softly, "Kunimitsu has chosen his successor. His path is not in Seigaku. He will understand in the future."

Lucifer paused for a moment and said, "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's possible to manage... but Guoguang feels it's not time to leave yet, so let him play a little longer. His elbow can recover, it's just that he doesn't want to get treatment, or rather, he's worried about getting treatment."

Yuko Ichihara sighed and said, "This is something Kunimitsu is capable of doing... So how do you plan to deal with it?"

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it. Bai Yu didn't have any intention of hiding anything, so he chose to put it on speakerphone. The call was quickly answered, and a young-sounding female voice came through.

"Huh? Bai Yu? What made you decide to call me?"

"No, Hannah, I just wanted to ask if you're still at the rehabilitation center?"

"Yes, you're injured?! Are you badly injured?!"

"I wasn't injured. It's someone who's like a younger brother to me... (hundreds of words omitted here) that's how it is. He doesn't seem to be thinking about healing right now. When he decides to..."

"Oh! I see... Okay, I understand. Judging by the time, the matches in Japan should have started by now, and he should be here soon. You can leave it to me without worry. But when are you coming again?"

"I... I'll see if I have time during summer vacation..."

"Okay! I'll hang up now..."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Yu nodded and said, "In that case, Guoguang's recovery will be resolved. Hannah used to be a professional player and is now a rehabilitation coach. She can provide Guoguang with the most professional rehabilitation and tennis coaching."

Lucifer nodded, then squinted and said, "Although she's very reliable, how did you come to know this Hannah?"

"When I was playing matches and had some free time, I would run into her and help her out. We're friends, I guess."

Yuko Ichihara narrowed her eyes and said, "I have a feeling that she doesn't just want to be friends."

"Ok?"

"Never mind, by the way, why haven't Xiaolan and the others arrived yet?"

Sonoko waved her hand and said, "It's just on the next street, there's no rush. Yuko-nee, you seem to really want to see Ran."

Yuko Ichihara said irritably, "That girl is much more reliable than you, and I'm more curious about Ran's mother."

"Oh..."

PS: Hannah is the beautiful pro player from Prince of Tennis who visits Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Chapter 44 Mutual Praise and Eri's Curiosity (Please Subscribe~)

Just as everyone was discussing, Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki arrived at the street corner. Eri Kisaki had never been to these two streets in all her years in Tokyo.

The busiest street before had left Eri Kisaki somewhat dazzled; anyone who didn't know better would have thought it was some kind of fireworks display. Ran was also visiting for the first time and found it very interesting.

The two of them walked around for half the time before turning back. Firstly, because there were more and more people, and they probably wouldn't be able to leave if they stayed any longer. Secondly, they didn't really want to continue shopping, so they went back while there weren't too many people around.

I've never been to this busiest street, let alone the most deserted one. The sky was already getting dark, and the last bit of the setting sun was still struggling, but it was probably about to be swallowed up.

Eri Kisaki raised an eyebrow as she looked at the now dimly lit and deserted street and asked, "Ran, are you sure this is the street?"

"Yes, Brother Baiyu's shop is on this street."

"But there probably aren't even any residents here, and why aren't there even any streetlights?"

Xiao Lan shook her head and said, "I don't know, but it is indeed on this street. Brother Bai Yu said that people who would come in to eat on a street like this are basically people with stories or interesting people."

"He's quite a strange man... In that case, let's go..."

"Ok!"

Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki walked down the street. Eri could faintly hear the sounds of laughter and chatter from the next street, but for some reason, she felt a unique sense of peace and security about this street.

"Mom, do you feel at ease? Do you feel a sense of peace?"

Eri Kisaki paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Huh? Ran, how did you know?"

"Because I felt the same way when I came here last time, and of course, it's the same this time. Every time I hear this kind of laughter and noise, with one side bustling and brightly lit, and the other side a cold, quiet, and dimly lit street, I always feel a kind of indescribable feeling."

Eri nodded, and as she was speaking, she saw a shop with its lights on in the distance, but no sign. Eri paused for a moment, then said, "There really is a shop there. This man is really hard to understand..."

"That's Bai Yu's shop, Mom. Have you decided what you want to eat?"

"Hmm? I heard Wu Fengshui say that Mr. Bai Yu seems to be able to do everything?"

"Yes, that's why there's no menu in the shop. You just order whatever you want to eat, and they can cook it as long as they have the ingredients."

"Huh? There's no menu? This...."

As the two were chatting, they arrived at the shop entrance. Xiaolan opened the door, but was stunned as soon as she opened it because she saw Yuanzi at a glance.

"Yuanzi?! What are you doing here?!"

Sonoko said with a smile, "I was bored after finishing my homework today, so I went to find Managi and the others, and then I was dragged over to eat. Ran, you and Auntie Hii are so slow."

Xiao Lan said somewhat helplessly, "You should have said you were coming earlier... Good evening, everyone, it's been a long time..."

Lucifer and the others nodded, and Xiaolan, realizing what was happening, quickly said, "This is my mother, Mom..."

Eri Kisaki, who was standing behind Ran Mouri, paused for a moment before walking in, nodding, and saying, "Good evening, everyone. I am Ran's mother, Eri Kisaki."

Lucifer raised an eyebrow and said, "She really does look very young and beautiful..."

Everyone nodded. She looked like a mother with a daughter in her second year of high school? Don't be ridiculous, they would believe her if you said she was a graduate student. She looked like she was in her early twenties.

Eri noticed and her expression brightened. She really did look young and beautiful, though there were some regrets in her life...

Bai Yu stood up and said gently, "We were just talking about why Xiao Lan and the others haven't arrived yet. You must all be very tired. Find a place to rest."

Ran nodded, and Eri Kisaki also had a good first impression of Bai Yu. Bai Yu then walked to the door and hung up the opening sign before returning to Ran and Eri Kisaki's side.

"You really can't tell they're mother and daughter at all; they look more like best friends."

Eri Kisaki was also taken aback for a moment before smiling and saying, "Mr. Shiraha really knows how to compliment people, but you are much more handsome than Ran described."

"Miss Fei is also very good at praising people."

Eri Kisaki paused for a moment, then smiled and said softly, "Ran thanked Mr. Shiraha and the others for their care earlier."

"I didn't do anything..."

"But there's still the garden, isn't there?"

Sonoko made a peace sign when she heard this, and Lucifer said irritably, "Her? This girl takes care of Ran? We should be thanking Ran for taking care of this girl."

"I'm very reliable!"

“Phew.…”xn

Sonoko fell silent. Bai Yu smiled and said, "That's true. We should thank Ran for taking care of Sonoko. She has also said that Ran has helped her a lot."

"No, no, it's nothing..."

Bai Yu nodded and said gently, "So what would you two like to eat? Xiao Lan should have already told you that my shop doesn't have a menu, right?"

"Yes, but this makes me unsure what to eat... I feel like there are so many dishes I want to try..."

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "So, what kind of cuisine would you two like to eat? French? Japanese? Chinese? Or some other kind of food?"

Fei Ying thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Lan, what do you want to eat?"

"Western food is out of the question...it seems like too much trouble to eat..."

Eri nodded and said, "I was a bit tired of eating Western food during my business trip, and I had sushi yesterday... What about Chinese food? I haven't had Chinese food in a long time."

"Great! But there are so many more options for Chinese food..."

Bai Yu said gently, "Then let's find out by asking again. What kind of flavor do you want to eat? Meat or vegetables, light or strong flavors?"

After discussing it, the two decided to have three dishes: one sweet and sour dish, but they wanted it to be a bit stronger; one light dish; and a soup, which they surprisingly wanted to be meat broth.

"Okay, please wait a moment..."

Chapter 45 Anticipation for Summer Vacation, The Secret of Socks (Please Subscribe~)

After Bai Yu left, Fei Yingli finally had a good look at the shop. It was clean, tidy, quiet, and refreshing. The faint fragrance made her feel refreshed. Sitting in the chair, she felt less tired.

Eri Kisaki was drawn to this restaurant simply because of its cleanliness and environment. And since Ran said the food was delicious, she could pack some dinner to take home when she passed by while working late at night.

Sonoko smiled and said, "Auntie Fei, you still look so young and beautiful! Do you have any beauty secrets?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. It was a joke; she was taking care of herself in an exaggerated way. Putting aside her figure, Eri Kisaki was absolutely stunning in terms of looks. Who would believe that she was a mother of a high school sophomore?

Fei Ying thought for a moment and said, "It's just normal skincare... maybe a little red wine before bed every day? You're only a high school sophomore, why are you researching this?"

Sonoko sighed and said, "Auntie Fei, although I'm a student, I'm practically a married person, okay? I don't think it's too early to discuss this now."

Eri Kisaki paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "I had forgotten about that. But it's really thanks to your mother that you were able to make the decision."

Sonoko nodded and said, "You know, I was so nervous when my mom and older sister came, but the shop wasn't this big back then."

"Isn't it good that the result is good? These people are... wait... a few of them seem familiar..."

Sonoko said with a smile, "Auntie Fei, guess how many you should know."

"Hmm...is that...Erina Nakiri, the God Tongue?"

Erina nodded and said, "Yes... Hello, Auntie Hsi..."

"This is...it looks like...somewhat like Ms. Nakiri Managi, the Special Executive Officer of WGO..."

Nakiri Managi smiled and said, "Be confident, it's me."

"When I came back, I heard that you had moved the WGO headquarters to Tokyo. At first, I couldn't quite believe it, but now I do. What are you doing at Mr. Shiraha's shop? Are you here for a tasting?"

Nakiri Managi blushed and coughed lightly, saying, "I live here. These are my employees, but we're all good friends. These three are first-class executives, and the one still eating is a second-class executive."

"Lady Managi! Could you please not mention what I'm doing when you talk about me?"

"It's not something shameful."

"But it feels a bit strange."

"I still lack experience."

Rantabi rolled her eyes before continuing to eat. She had been looking at the latest ARMMO news and was starting to get excited, so she hadn't finished eating yet.

After Lucifer and the others introduced themselves, Eri nodded, though she was still a little surprised, because these people all seemed to be successful. However, this also reassured her that Ran was interacting with these people, and that such a social circle was quite good.

"Hey?! Xiaolan! You saw them go for a massage too?!"

"Yeah, didn't any of you see it?"
