People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Erina and the other two were taken aback. Erina stammered, "I...I'm Erina Nakiri..."

"what occupation?"

"Um...the chef..."

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, you're not a chef yet... or rather, being a chef hasn't become your main job."

"Huh? So what's my job?"

"student..."

Erina was taken aback, and Shiraha smiled and said, "Aside from Totsuki's special circumstances, Totsuki is just a high school, and Erina, you are also a high school student. Although you don't have much to learn, as a student, it's not time for you to venture out yet. After all, you still need to experience school life properly."

Saki thought for a moment and said, "So, Shirayu, your idea is that Erina should fully experience the school life that students should have before leaving, so that she won't have any regrets in life? What's with suddenly realizing that there's something missing in your life...?"

Gurefia said somewhat awkwardly, "It seems that's really the case... I watched a documentary before, and I saw many students reminiscing about their school life after graduation..."

Erina thought for a moment before sighing and saying, "Okay, I understand... I'll do my best to finish my studies, but Manager Shiraha, do you mean I can do it in the second semester of my second year of high school?"

"Pretty much. After all, you saw how Rindou and the others studied in their senior year of high school. At that time, Rindou and the others basically had nothing to learn and didn't have much of an impression of school life. It seems that Mr. Yukihira left halfway through."

Erina nodded without saying anything, while Saki sighed and said, "Suddenly I really want to try going to school..."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Saki... you must be in university, right?"

"Um... why do I suddenly feel like I'm getting old...?"

Bai Yu waved his hand and said, "Saki, if you go to university, I think you'll have a lot of headaches..."

"Hmm? Because of the course? Or something else?"

"Because of your figure and looks, Saki, you must have a lot of suitors. I bet they'll be a real headache because of your personality."

Sachi paused for a moment before scoffing and saying, "Those vulgar men? Forget it, I'd probably hit them. So I'd rather just be my own chef."

Erina's eye twitched slightly as she asked, "Saki-neechan, what kind of man are you looking for?"

When this topic came up, Erina glanced at Shiraha secretly before blushing and quickly looking away. Saki thought for a moment before looking at Shiraha with longing in her eyes and saying, "I hope the man I want is a man like Shiraha!"

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "It might be a bit difficult."

"How to say?"

Because...everyone is unique...

Saki thought for a moment, then tilted her head and said, "That's true... So... let's just use you, Bai Yu, as our target..."

Bai Yu paused for a moment before shaking his head with a smile. Sha Qi's direct question surprised him as well. Sha Qi, however, didn't think much of it; if you like something, you like it. Sha Qi leaned closer and asked in confusion, "How do you cook these clams?"

"About this..."

While they were chatting, Erina was still in a daze. What was going on? Had Saki confessed her feelings? Probably. She'd never been in a relationship before, so she didn't know.

But what she was more concerned about was what Bai Yu meant. Did he know she had accepted his confession, or had he rejected her? What did this mean? If it was successful just like that, wasn't it a bit too easy?

But thinking of Krachi and the others, Erina suddenly felt that it wasn't actually that difficult. Just as Erina was about to speak, Alice walked in yawning and said in a puzzled tone, "Erina, you're here to learn cooking so early..."

"Alice!"

"Huh?! What's wrong?!"

"Fool!"

"what?!"

Chapter 73 The Trial of Mysterious Pride, Alice's Straightforward Approach (Please Subscribe~)

Alice was dumbfounded. She had only come to find a glass of warm water, but how did she end up looking like an idiot? She hadn't said anything! Alice's eyes twitched as she said, "Hey! Erina! You're out of control!"

"You're the one who's out of sorts! What are you doing here?"

Alice said irritably, "Drink water, so what's wrong with you this morning?"

"You're the one who's crazy! Humph! Hurry up and drink, then you can study cooking properly!"

"Oh...."

Erina gritted her teeth, but her composure crumbled. She had wanted to ask Shiraha what he thought of her, but Alice interrupted her, and she was completely devastated.

Just then, Erina noticed something and turned around to see Alice running downstairs in her nightgown. Erina said irritably, "You just ran downstairs in your nightgown?!"

"What else? It's so hot, I'll definitely wear a nightgown..."

Just as Erina was about to speak, she saw Alice smile and say to Shiraha, "Manager Shiraha, Manager Shiraha!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Bai Yu turned to Alice, who was wearing a nightgown with a section of her leg showing, and smiled, saying, "It's not even summer vacation yet and you're already wearing a nightgown? Aren't you cold?"

"Maybe it's because I have Scandinavian blood, which makes me sweat more easily. But thankfully I didn't inherit that Scandinavian body odor, or I would have a headache."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "So if you're wearing a nightgown now, what will you do during summer vacation...? From what you're saying, it seems you're not planning to go back to Northern Europe. You'll probably get heatstroke in the summer..."

Alice chuckled and said, "No, no, we can just get a shorter one..."

"That's true... but can you handle this temperature?"

"It should be fine... There are air conditioners, ice packs, cooling patches and things like that, right? Suddenly I feel like eating watermelon, enjoying air conditioning and ice cream on a hot day would be really enjoyable... But you wouldn't be like that in Northern Europe."

Gurefia thought for a moment and said, "But if you've been gone for so long, what about your family..."

"It doesn't matter. Dad is very busy. As for Mom... she'll be here in a few days. She's going on vacation during summer break, so she might come to see Aunt Managi."

Gurefia nodded, and Alice suddenly remembered something, smiled, and said to Bai Yu, "Hey, Manager Bai Yu, what do you think? Does it look good?"

Erina's pupils contracted as she stared at Alice in disbelief. Shiraha looked her up and down before nodding gently under Alice's expectant gaze and saying, "Hmm, very pretty, but..."

Alice was taken aback, and then she saw Bai Yu reach out and smooth the hair on Alice's head, saying, "But this sleeping posture might not be very good... You can probably guess, it's quite cute."

Alice blushed, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said, "I'm a very good sleeper, I guess I was too tired yesterday. But Manager Bai Yu, I just realized, your hands are so big!"

"It's alright, maybe it's from playing basketball?"

"No one can play basketball with such soft hands, huh? Hey, Manager Shiraha, do you know how to play the piano?"

Saki and Gurefia also looked curious. Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "I guess you could... at least it wouldn't sound jarring..."

Sachi suddenly realized and said, "So that means Bai Yu, your piano skills are also very good?"

"Um... why do you say that?"

Gurefia tilted her head and said, "Under normal circumstances, if you say something is normal, it means it is very powerful; if you say something is not, it means it is; if you say something is... I don't think I've ever said that before."

Everyone nodded, even Erina, who was looking at Alice with a resentful expression, nodded. Erina had felt inexplicably annoyed when she saw Alice ask the question and then Shiraha fix her hair.

Alice smiled and said, "Manager Baiyu, could you lend me your hand for a moment?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Alice looked at Bai Yu's outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment before letting go, and then said with a surprised look, "Oh! I thought my hands were already quite big. Manager Bai Yu, you're too outrageous. Your hands are very beautiful."

"Really? I'll give it a try..."

As Erina spoke, she tossed Alice's hand aside and compared it with her own. Alice didn't say anything, but Erina blushed. Looking at her hand next to Shiraha's, she felt her heart race for some reason.

Just then, Judge walked in yawning and said, "Huh? You're comparing hand sizes? Are you elementary school students? Bai Yu, do you have any fruit or vegetable juice?"

"I'll make you a cup in a bit, hmm? As if to put you on trial..."

The judge coughed lightly, his face slightly flushed, and said, "Can't I try too?"

Looking at the gloved hand extended by the judge, Bai Yu smiled and held it up to compare. The judge's lips twitched and he said, "Um... can I say it's because of the gloves?"

The judge looked at the hand, which was about the same size as Bai Yu's palm, and felt a little embarrassed. As a woman, she felt awkward. Bai Yu squeezed the judge's hand and said with a smile, "Alright, go see who hasn't gotten up yet and go wake them up. It's almost time for dinner."

"Oh... I remember my vegetable and fruit juice. By the way, I don't eat parsley."

"I see, it's surprising how childish you are."

"I didn't! I...I just...I didn't!"

The judge turned and left, but soon after, he poked his head back in, looking embarrassed, and said, "Um... I don't eat parsley..."

"I understand. Go ahead."

"Um...."

The judge turned and left after speaking. As she went upstairs, she looked at her hands. Although Bai Yu was her man, she still felt a strange sense of happiness.

"Hmm? Judgment, why are you up so early?"

"Huh? Justice? I'm here to get some drinks."

"So what about drinks?"

"Bai Yu is making it for me!"

Looking at the inexplicably proud judge, Justice simply shook his head helplessly and walked downstairs. Just before he reached the bottom, he said softly, "By the way, you guys are going with Lucy today."

"doing what?"

"Buying daily necessities~"

"Oh."

Chapter 74 Alice Ignites, Leonora's Request (Please Subscribe~)

Alice didn't stay long, exchanging a few words before leaving. Erina, on the other hand, remained observing the whole time. After Alice left, she went straight back to her room, lowered her head, and remained silent for a while before...

"Yes! Success!"

Alice cheered and jumped onto the bed, hugging the plush toy next to her and rolling around in it. After a long while, she looked at her hands, blushed, and said with a smile, "Manager Bai Yu's hands are really big..."

After thinking for a while, Alice ran to the computer, turned it on, found an avatar, and selected a video call. The phone rang for a short while before a white-haired woman wearing a face mask said irritably, "Alice, you little brat, do you know what time it is? Mom needs to rest!"

Alice laughed and said, "Hehe... Mom, I'm just happy."

"Hmm? What's making you happy?"

Alice looked around before running to the balcony, closing the balcony door, drawing the curtains, and then closing the curtains on the windows before sitting back down at the table.

Leonora asked with a puzzled look, "Huh? Alice, why did you make the room so dark? Are you trying to scare me?"

"Oh no, no, this just makes it more atmospheric, Mom, look!"

Alice stood up as she spoke, looking exceptionally beautiful in her nightgown. Alice already had Nordic heritage, and the nightgown further enhanced her figure and appearance.

Leonora tilted her head and said, "Hmm? Alice, are you trying to say you've gained weight? Oh dear, Mom has told you before that girls shouldn't overeat. How did it go? You've gained weight. How are you going to woo Mr. Bai Yu like this?"

"Huh?! Have I really gained weight?! No way... I don't have any belly fat..."

"Then what are you going to show me?"

Alice paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Mom, didn't you tell me yesterday to wear my nightgown to see Manager Bai Yu this morning? You said it would make Manager Bai Yu's eyes light up."

"Yes, oh! You went to look for it?"

"Yes, yes, Manager Bai Yu said I'm very pretty!"

"As expected of Alice, you really live up to her expectations!"

Alice chuckled and scratched her head, then said with a laugh, "It's not over yet, Mom. Let me tell you, I went downstairs as soon as I woke up this morning and didn't even fix my hair..."

Before Alice could finish speaking, Leonora ripped the face mask off, exclaiming with displeasure, "You little brat! That's very impolite! You...you..."

"Oh, Mom, please let me finish..."

"Fine, I'd like to see what kind of reason you can come up with!"

Alice smiled and said, "Manager Bai Yu fixed my hair..."

"Huh? Alice, say it again, Mom didn't hear you."

Alice laughed and said, "Manager Bai Yu fixed my hair! And then she said my sleeping posture must be quite cute!"

Leonora laughed and said, "Great job, Alice! A great success! But Mr. Shiraha is really thoughtful and considerate. If he had just fixed your hair, you would have been very embarrassed. He even praised you like this. He's so considerate!"

"Yes! And that's not all!"

"Alice, what else did you do? Tell your mother quickly."
