People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Everyone stared at Kaito Kuroba's bag with puzzled expressions, having no idea what was inside. However, they were quite curious after hearing what Rindou Kobayashi had said.

Kaito Kuroba said somewhat helplessly, "Rindou-nee, you really do tell me everything."

Kobayashi Rindou waved his hand and said, "You came to the restaurant to eat because you were planning to leave from here, so it doesn't matter. By the way, Akako didn't come?"

"How could I possibly call her?"

Rindou Kobayashi said irritably, "You're surprisingly childish... Where are we going this time?"

"next door."

Kobayashi Rindou raised an eyebrow and said, "You really are something else..."

Lucifer asked in confusion, "Next door? Next door what? The next street? Or something else?"

Kaito Kuroba shrugged without saying anything and found a seat. Seeing that Kaito Kuroba didn't seem to have anything to say, the others stopped talking and started chatting about their holidays.

Yuko Ichihara said with a smile, "I've never bought a swimsuit before. Has anyone bought one?"

Klaqi thought for a moment and said, "Dekla and I have bought quite a few before, but they're not suitable anymore. They're too ordinary. We definitely need to buy new ones."

Dekkera nodded and said, "That's right, besides, it's just Bai Yu, and he's my man, so of course we have to buy the final edition!"

"Hmm! As expected of Dirk, she's really bold."

"That's not how you see it?"

"Me too, hehe..."

Kobayashi Rindou rolled his eyes at the two guys who were probably imagining things, then turned to Lucifer and said, "Let's go buy it when we have time. We can bring Yumiko-nee along."

Lucifer's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh! That's a good suggestion. If we talk to Yumiko about summer vacation, she'll definitely be very interested."

Nami smiled and said, "Swimsuits... I'm best at that..."

"Huh?" xn

Lucifer, as if struck by a thought, chuckled and said, "Nami, if that's the case, you must be quite the buyer."

"of course!"

You have to understand that Nami used to dress very casually at sea, and since she lived on the high seas and hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit yet, she naturally wouldn't miss out on hobbies like swimming and sunbathing.

Therefore, what Nami has the most of in her wardrobe on the pirate ship is not ordinary clothes, but swimsuits. When it comes to buying swimsuits, Nami is definitely an expert.

As everyone was talking, they heard Yuko Ichihara say softly, "Speaking of which, in that case, the matter we're discussing will have to be somewhere overseas, right?"

Lucifer nodded and said, "That makes sense. We'll tell Zi and the others when they arrive tonight. As for Cheng, she probably won't be able to come during summer vacation."

Cerberus tilted his head and said, "It seems to be because... that's her name..."

Lucifer nodded and said, "It seems so. I heard Lan mention it. By the way, who do you think Bai Yu will go to? Will he go to Qian Dong, Hancock's, or Zi's?"

Yuko Ichihara waved her hand and said, "Let's forget about Hancock. She herself said she'll come over herself during summer vacation. She's too lazy to wait in line. As for Chifuyu... Chifuyu didn't say anything, but Shiraha will definitely have to go to Chifuyu's place before summer vacation."

"So Bai Yu has most likely gone to Zi's side."

"Ok!"

Nami, however, propped her face up and said, "If only we went to find Hancock, then I could go back and check on her."

Lucifer glanced at Nami and said softly, "Nami, what do you want to go back to see?"

"Uh... Nojiko..."

Nakiri Managi and the others were taken aback. Rantapi asked in confusion, "Hmm? Nojiko? Who is Nojiko? Is she your friend? Or family?"

Nami nodded and said, "It's my sister... she's still at home... I want to go back and see her, and Bellemere... I want to see her too..."

Everyone could sense Nami's disappointment. Lucifer raised an eyebrow and said, "Belmel, who is this? Nami, it seems your previous account of your experiences wasn't complete."

Everyone nodded. Lucifer, Yuuko Ichihara, and the others who came with Nami only knew that Nami's village had been occupied by Arlong, but was later defeated, and then they traveled with Luffy and the others.

Later, people like Nakiri and Managi only knew that Nami was a girl who lived at sea and liked to travel. Nami never mentioned Nojiko or Bellemere.

Nami said in a deep voice, "Bellmere is my and Nojiko's adoptive mother..."

Gurefia paused for a moment and said, "Wait...you mean...my foster mother?"

Everyone looked at Nami, who gritted her teeth and said softly, "Yes... Nojiko and I were adopted by Bellemere... I was only one or two years old at the time... but Nojiko and I have always regarded Bellemere as our own mother..."

Lucifer nodded and said, "I see... Then you should definitely go and see him. If Bai Yu doesn't have time... he certainly doesn't. Find some time and have him take you back. You can also meet Bellemere. Speaking of which, Bellemere's skin must be very good if she lives by the sea."

"No... Bellemere's hands are very yellow..."

"Eh? Why?"

"Perhaps it's because of the oranges?"

Nami's words made Yuuko Ichihara suddenly realize, "So, Nami, your liking for oranges is related to Bellemere?"

"I guess so... Bellemere loves oranges... She'll get really angry if anyone says oranges don't taste good..."

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and said, "So, Nami, you've found the root of your personality. But usually, people with this kind of personality don't age very quickly, right? Bellemere too..."

"She's thirty years old..."

Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "Thirty years old...that's very young. When did she find you?"

"More than ten years ago..."

After a moment of surprise, Nakiri Managi said, "You adopted both of you when you were just over ten years old? It's truly amazing how a mother can support her family all by herself... Wait... that's not right... Nami, how old is Bellemere? Are you sure she's thirty? And how old are you?"

"She...has always been thirty...for a long time...and it probably won't change in the future..."

Everyone paused for a moment, stunned. "Still thirty years old, it's been a long time, and it will be in the future"—this statement made them think of a possibility, a possibility they all somewhat didn't want to believe...

Momoko swallowed hard and said, "Nami...you mean Bellemere is already..."

"Um...."

Lucifer and the others, who knew that Nami was from another world, that her village had been taken over, and why Nami herself had the nickname "Little Cat Thief," all thought of something. Lucifer frowned, wanting to say something but held back.

Nami was so young and she was already stealing money for Arlong and the others. This shows how these two sisters lived. Lucifer thought of this and looked at Ichihara Yuko. Ichihara Yuko didn't say anything, but that was more effective than anything she could say.

Nakiri Managi and the others also realized what was happening and offered some words of comfort. Nami said she was fine. After chatting for a while, they saw Shiraha pushing a food cart over. After placing the food on the cart, he turned and walked towards Kuroba Kaito.

"Here's your bonito ochazuke and strawberry parfait. You really don't want to leave a trace, do you?"

Kaito Kuroba chuckled and said, "Of course, the taste is also a kind of evidence, and only you, Shiraba-nii, can make ochazuke this delicious."

"It can talk, but there's no reward."

Kaito Kuroba thought for a moment and said, "Brother Shiraba, what do you think we should do...?"

Bai Yu chuckled and casually tossed over a card, saying, "It feels a bit like I'm helping you commit a foul."

Kaito Kuroba took the card and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Shiroba-nii, you should trust me that I won't get caught, otherwise..."

"Otherwise it's useless, no matter what, they can't trace it back to me."

"Eh?! You're the one who's really cheating! Okay, okay! I'm not talking anymore! I'm going to start eating!"

Seeing Kuroba Kaito about to start eating with his cutlery, Shiroba smiled and shook his head. After hanging up the sign indicating that the store was open, he turned around and returned to his seat.

Seeing that everyone seemed a bit off, Bai Yu turned to look at Lucifer, who in turn looked at Nami. Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "Hmm? Nami, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, I just remembered some things from the past. The past is the past..."

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "Things from the past? Nami..."

"Ok?"

Do you know why people separate the past, present, and future?

"have no idea...."

Do you know how long human memory lasts?

"have no idea...."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Simply put, it's about not being able to forget the past, not being able to get over certain things. Happy moments can make you laugh for a moment, sad memories can make you cry in the quiet of the night, and ordinary, beautiful memories can make you miss the past... So... is it really over?"

Nami gritted her teeth, and after a long silence, whispered, "Bai Yu..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Could we go see Nojiko and Bellemere in a while? They're my sisters..."

"sure."

"You... never mind... let's eat, why are you all staring at me like that instead of eating?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and someone said "Let's eat" first before they started eating. Lucifer leaned close to Bai Yu's ear and whispered, "You really know how to talk, but... I'll tell you later."

Bai Yu paused for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. He looked at the information about the sword sheath that Kuroba Kaito had sent him on his phone. After a while, Bai Yu said softly, "Hmm... if the sword sheath is here, where is the sword?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"nothing...."

Yuuko Ichihara leaned closer for a look before saying with a strange expression, "Hmm? It's a very beautiful scabbard, but what's this? An auction? Why are you looking at the auction list? Are you going? But isn't this tonight's? It's too late."

"It wasn't me who went, it was him."

Everyone turned to look at Kaito Kuroba, who had finished his meal and tea and was now eating a strawberry parfait with a spoon.

"Huh? He's going? Wait... you gave him a card before, you didn't ask him to buy it for you, did you...?"

"puff...."

Everyone looked at Kobayashi Rindou, who had burst out laughing, with puzzled expressions. Alice asked, "Rindou-nee, what are you laughing at? Isn't this normal?"

"That's normal, perfectly normal, but if it's Kaito, it's not that simple..."

"Huh?" xn

"Ah...so delicious, as expected of Brother Bai Yu!"

Bai Yu sighed and said, "Tea-soaked rice with strawberry parfait, you're probably the only one who would eat like that. Aren't you afraid of getting an upset stomach?"

"It's nothing... But Brother Baiyu, it seems like the cards you give me are different every time."

Shiraha didn't say anything. Kuroha Kaito smiled and then slowly picked up the bag from the side. Everyone looked puzzled, wondering what Kuroha Kaito was going to do.

But then everyone saw Kaito Kuroba stand up, carrying his bag, and say with a smile, "Brother Shiraba, could you please use the restroom..."

"there."

Kaito Kuroba nodded, and Rindou Kobayashi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He really trusts people, but... if you see anything, absolutely do not tell anyone."

"Huh? Hmm..." xn

As they were talking, the bathroom door opened, and a boy wearing a top hat and a monocle, adjusting his glove with one hand, walked out.

Rantabhi immediately stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "Phantom Thief Kid?! Really?!"

Kaito Kuroba just grinned, put a hand to his mouth in a shushing gesture, and said with a smile, "Rantapy-neechan, it's a secret..."

Kaito Kuroba glanced at Shiroba and said, "See you tomorrow morning, Shiroba-nii..."

As he spoke, a red bead appeared in his hand. Kobayashi Rindou's eyes twitched, and then he said irritably, "What are you trying to show off for, kid?!"

"There has to be some mystery... Don't worry, it's not hypnotic gas... Well then, Brother Bai Yu, see you tomorrow morning..."

All anyone saw was Kaito Kuroba twitch his finger, and the door suddenly opened "automatically." Before anyone could say anything, the bead fell to the ground, and Kaito Kuroba vanished from the spot.

Cerberus stared blankly and said, "How did the door open? Where's Kaito? Ninjutsu! Ninjutsu! Ninjutsu!"

Bai Yu chuckled and said softly, "It's magic..."

Kasugano Sora immediately ran over to examine the door, and Medici and the others also joined in. They still didn't know how Kuroba Kaito disappeared or how the door opened.

Albedo asked in confusion, "What's the principle behind this?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "It's very simple. When he came in, he used a magic prop to tie a special line, which looks like a fishing line, to the door. Since it wasn't time to open the shop, there were naturally no customers. When he left, he just took the line back."
