People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Kobayashi Rindou quickly said, "That's not right! Don't you all go traveling during the Japanese New Year?! I can't find you anywhere!"

Lucifer and the others were all puzzled. What was going on? Would Bai Yu really go out and have fun on his own instead of accompanying his woman?

Bai Yu said gently, "Where did you go that you wanted me to go?"

Lucifer and the others glanced at Kobayashi Rindou, who rolled her eyes and said, "Do you even need to ask? Go home and meet the parents! My dad, mom, and grandpa really want to talk to you, but you're never home for the New Year!"

"and then?"

Xiao Linlong said angrily, "And you still dare to say that! My mom and dad aren't on my side! They both say things like I'm a good kid and that I'm stupid! I'm so angry I can't even eat my New Year's Eve dinner!"

Lucifer rolled his eyes and said, "You ever have a time when you can't eat?"

"No way! Really! That's not the point! The point is Bai Yu! Mentioning him reminds me! Explain yourself properly! Otherwise, I'll bite you no matter what!"

Kobayashi Rindou grinned as he spoke, his vampire-like fangs causing Remilia to raise an eyebrow in confusion. "Hmm? Do humans have fangs like that? How come they look so much like my vampire teeth?" she asked.

"Hmph! Explain yourself!"

Bai Yu smiled and said gently, "Do you think Qi Luoli will let me go home with her?"

"Of course!"

"What about Ziyin?"

"No overtime is definitely not allowed!"

"Where's Yumiko?"

"Yumiko-nee is very serious about this! Of course we'll accept!"

"Where are Garuda and Sonoko?"

"Of course! Everyone wants to bring their man home to meet their parents! You... wait... the holiday isn't that long... no way..."

Bai Yu glanced at it, smiled, and didn't say anything. The judge paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Huh? What? No way? What's wrong?"

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "Everyone wants Shirayu to come home with them for the New Year and meet their parents. But there will be some minor emotional issues when visiting someone's home, so Shirayu probably just went on a trip by himself."

The judge was also taken aback. What was this? No matter how you spend the Spring Festival, you're always alone. While others are enjoying family time and celebration, Bai Yu is either alone at home or alone in a foreign country.

Suddenly, Kaguya Houraisan felt a sense of kinship, and Ryuko Kobayashi whispered, "Then...then you can come find me during the Chinese New Year...I can keep you company..."

"You weren't this free back then."

"I...okay...ugh! This is so annoying! No wonder Mom and Dad said I'm stupid! I'm just realizing it now..."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Uncle and Aunt are surprisingly biased."

"They used to be so good to me! Now, when I chat with my parents, it's always the same thing after a couple of sentences: 'When are you going to bring Bai Yu home?' Your dad wants to try the wine Bai Yu makes, but he's reluctant to drink it."

Bai Yu paused for a moment and said, "Hmm? There are many, it's just that some have a very low alcohol tolerance."

"I told you! That's exactly what I said, do you know what Mom said?"

"what?"

"She said, 'Your dad said then hurry up and get married!' Your dad can't have as much tea as I want! Do you think those old men really just drink tea?!"

"Pfft..."xn

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head. Just as Bai Yu was about to speak, Kobayashi Rindou interrupted him, saying with a smile, "Before, you were alone during the New Year. From now on, I'll keep you company, okay?"

Aren't you going home for the Chinese New Year?

"I have big things to do these next two years, I'll go back after that. It's not a big deal. My parents don't want me to come home now. As soon as I get home, they say, 'Why are you all alone? Don't come back next time if you don't bring Bai Yu!' It's so hard for me... So I'm not going home! How about I spend the New Year with you?"

"Ok?"

"Hmm what?! You can't shake me off! I'm sticking with you through the New Year! Humph!"

"Agreed!"

Chapter 190 Kobayashi Rindou's Divine Mother, an Enlightened Parent (Please Subscribe~)

Kobayashi Rindou's words resonated with Lucifer and the others. It was fine when they weren't around, but now that they were all here, how could this happen? Didn't they have any pride?

Eirin Yagokoro also said gently, "In the past, you had many concerns, but now you won't be alone."

Yuko Ichihara nodded and said, "Oh my, Eirin, you've got a lot of guts."

Eirin Yagokoro blushed but nodded anyway. Shiraha sighed and said, "Isn't this normal? Many people don't stay at home during the Lunar New Year and go on trips, provided the holiday is long enough."

Rindou Kobayashi said irritably, "That's enough! Do you think we're idiots? Other people travel with their families, or they travel alone. You're not!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That makes sense, but it seemed like the trip during the Spring Festival was pretty good."

Kobayashi Rindou snorted and said, "Whether it's interesting or not, you can't escape me this year... no... from now on during the New Year. I'll go on any trip you take, I'm not going home anyway."

Lucifer chuckled and said, "If you go home, you'll be pressured to get married. Your status isn't even as high as Bai Yu's. How could you possibly go home?"

"I...I...this just proves I have good taste!"

“Tch.…”xn

Kobayashi Rindou wasn't as naive as Riven, so it would be difficult to trick her. Lucifer tilted his head and said, "So, the question comes back to where it all started: where to go for the New Year?"

Just as Bai Yu was about to speak, he heard Lucifer say softly, "Think carefully before you speak. We're still here, and things are different from before."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'm not really sure. We'll see when the time comes. There are still plenty of options."

"Hmm... Hmm? Gentian, I just remembered, aren't you one of the Ten Heroes?"

"Yeah, he studied hard in his first year of high school and was among the top ten in his second year. That's impressive, right? His ranking was very high back then!"

Yuko Ichihara rolled her eyes and said, "You're so great. Erina was already a member of the Elite Ten in her first year of high school. Although she was only the tenth seat, she was still a genuine member of the Elite Ten, okay?"

Kobayashi Rindou said irritably, "Huh? You compare yourself to Erina? Erina is special. She has the God Tongue. Even the Elite Ten sometimes need her to taste their dishes. Moreover, because of the God Tongue, Erina has a very high level of analytical ability when it comes to food. No matter how strong the Elite Ten are, they are still just students. Erina has the strength of a second or third-year high school student in her first year of high school. It's very easy for her to become an Elite Ten student."

Lucifer and the others nodded in agreement. It was reasonable and logical, and considering that the girl's grandfather was the commander-in-chief of Totsuki Academy, it wasn't surprising.

Kobayashi Rindou asked疑惑地, "So, Lucy, what are you trying to say?"

Lucifer waved his hand and said, "It's nothing serious, I'm just a little curious. You're the kind of person who can't stay still, and I've heard you travel all over the world all the time, maybe only coming home twice a year. The New Year is a time for family reunion, are you really not going back?"

Yukari Yakumo nodded and said, "That's right, Rindou. Even if you don't want to go back, your parents will miss you, right? Besides, isn't there your grandfather? It would be better to go back and visit your elders."

Kobayashi Rindou waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, Grandpa is in excellent health! He still goes hiking, plays chess, and goes fishing whenever he has free time. I'm serious, you can ask Bai Yu if you don't believe me."

Everyone looked at Bai Yu, worried that Kobayashi Rindou was saying this because he wanted to stay. Bai Yu nodded and said, "That's true, the old man is still in good health."

Everyone nodded. Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "But I've never seen you, Rindou, chat with your parents. Don't you contact them often? Even if you don't go home for the New Year, you should at least call them."

"We keep in touch normally... there's no such thing as not keeping in touch. I've even met Little Peach, and... Garuda and Kirari have met too..."

"Huh? Really?"

Rindou Kobayashi rolled his eyes and said, "Look at how worried you all are, I'll just make a call, okay? I'm really fed up with you guys."

Kobayashi Rindou found a phone number and made a video call. The other end answered quickly, and a woman who looked seven or eight parts like Kobayashi Rindou asked in confusion, "Rindou, what are you calling at this hour?"

"Mom, look who this is!"

"Huh? Eh?! Shirayu!"

"Hello auntie."

"It's been a long time since you've been here. You've had to go to a lot of trouble with that girl, Longdan."

Rindou Kobayashi said irritably, "Mom! I'm still here! Can you please stop being so biased?!"

"And you say that! Have you ever given anyone a moment's peace? Where are you? In the shop?"

"Yes, we had a field study. Originally, I only had the results of the first year (hundreds of words omitted here), and then I was almost ready to graduate. I applied for a research project and moved here to the store!"

"Oh! Finally, you've done something reliable. Longdan, you've graduated and are an adult now. I'm not one of those rigid people. Baiyu is a good kid too, capable, responsible, and very considerate..."

"Mom, what are you trying to say?!"

"What else could it be! I support the normal impulses between you young people! Anyway, you're practically engaged, so there's no need to..."

"Um... Mom... you're a bit late..."

"Huh? Huh?! Really? When?"

"Just recently..."

"Is it there?!"

Eirin Yagokoro and the others raised an eyebrow, and Potts couldn't help but chuckle. Rindou Kobayashi blushed and quickly said, "Mom! This is a shop! And there aren't any yet..."

"Huh? That's so useless!"

"Huh?! I.."

"What do you mean 'you'? I'm only giving you face in the store, what else is there?"

"Um...Mom, these are some of my sisters...you haven't met them before..."

"Huh? Why didn't you say someone was here sooner! You brat!"

"You didn't ask me!"

"You didn't even answer when I asked you! You didn't inherit any of my good genes!"

"I...."

Where are you going!

"To the restroom!"

"Sit down!"

"Oh!"

Chapter 191 Henpecked Husband and Wife-Controlled Woman, Destined to Meet Katagiri (Please Subscribe~)

Kobayashi Rindou immediately shrank to the side and stopped talking. Lucifer and the others introduced themselves, proving that the saying "other people's children are always better" is true. Kobayashi Rindou's mother was all smiles and very gentle the whole time.

Rindou Kobayashi sat to the side, hugging his knees like a homeless child abandoned in a corner, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Lucifer and the others who were chatting happily.

"Yuko's hair is so beautiful and smooth. By the way, where's Rindou?"

"Mom, is there anything else?"

"Sit properly! Girls should be more reserved! Besides, hugging your legs like that is bad for your knees and can make your legs thicker. I've told you that so many times."

"Mom! I'm hanging up now! The battery's almost dead!"

"Hey hey hey! You brat..."

After hanging up the phone, Kobayashi Rindou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was a disaster...it was terrible. Luckily, Dad wasn't here, or we would have been doomed."

Yukari Yakumo said with a smile, "Isn't your mother quite interesting? Although she's a bit nagging, that's normal for a parent, isn't it?"

"How do you know if you've never done it?"

"I've seen TV dramas. By the way, was your father the same as your mother?"

"No, Dad is still on my side, but she's henpecked, you know? And she's not good with words, she can't argue with Mom at all, so as soon as she tries to open her mouth, she gets scared by Mom and immediately switches sides. It's been like this since I was little, although she'll take me to the street to buy things to apologize later."

Yuko Ichihara laughed and said, "Isn't this a pretty interesting family? But this incident shows that you really didn't inherit your mother's talent. She was henpecked, and you are henpecked. The difference is too big."

"I... I mean something similar!"

"Tch..." xn

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "So you're really not going home for the New Year?"

Kobayashi Rindou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll have my own family too, so it's not wrong for me to spend the New Year here. Besides, my parents don't want me to go back, just like in that book..."

"It's not a sequel to your parents' lives, not a prequel to your children's lives, and certainly not an extra chapter in your friends' stories, so you should always have your own ideas about your life."

Everyone nodded, but Bai Yu said somewhat helplessly, "Dragon Gallbladder, you before..."

"Let's not talk about what happened before! By the way, what were you going to say before? You hadn't finished speaking when Yuuko and the others arrived, and it seems they were connected to Yuuko?"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. When I came back from Gensokyo, I went out to check on Seigaku's training and played a game with Mr. Nanjiro's son. We mainly talked about Tezuka's treatment."

Lucifer nodded and said, "And then?"
