People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Kitagawa Kaimu blushed before nodding. Ichihara Yuko smiled and said, "You're surprisingly like an innocent girl. I bet a lot of boys have pursued you."

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded and said, "Yes! There are many, but I refused them all. It's not that they have nothing to offer, but they are just too rude, or they like to step on other people's hobbies and efforts to brag about themselves."

"Huh? That is indeed quite annoying and childish, but many boys this age who are bad at chatting are like that."

Kitagawa Haimu nodded. Whether it was because she had started talking or because Ichihara Yuuko was like a friendly older sister, Kitagawa Haimu thought for a moment before asking in confusion, "Eh? Yuuko-neechan, you're so beautiful and have such a great figure, do you have a lot of suitors?"

Yuuko Ichihara laughed and said, "Very? You're underestimating your Yuuko-neechan's charm. She has countless good ones, all kinds, but I haven't paid any attention to them."

"Huh?! Is that so? So why did you agree to Shopkeeper Shiraha's pursuit?"

Yuko Ichihara paused for a moment and said, "Who gave you the illusion that Shiraha was the one who pursued me?"

"Huh?! Did you, Yuuko-nee, pursue him?!"

"It's not that... I guess it's just that Bai Yu and I got together naturally... Well, it should be natural."

Kitagawa Kaimu swallowed hard and said, "Manager Shiraha is really amazing..."

“I don’t object to that.”

"Well...."

Yuko Ichihara coughed lightly, looking at the image of Kitagawa Kaimu she had conjured up in her mind, and said, "Kaimu, have you ever liked a boy?"

"Huh?! No, no, to be honest, I don't know many guys..."

Yuuko Ichihara smiled and said, "I didn't expect that, but that's normal for your personality. You truly are a pure-hearted girl..."

Kitagawa Kaimu blushed, then said firmly, "Yuko-nee! Have you ever had a crush on a guy?"

Yuko Ichihara paused for a moment before rolling her eyes and saying, "Your question is ridiculous. You're asking me if I've ever liked a boy? Yes, I have. I like Shiraha, without a doubt."

"Um... what about besides Shopkeeper Shiraha?"

Yuko Ichihara's eyes twitched before she said irritably, "Do you think I know a lot of men? I do know quite a few, but at most, the only one I can consider a friend is that scheming guy with glasses."

"But I also want to thank him... After all, without him, I don't know what I would be like now, and I wouldn't have met Bai Yu... No... I will definitely meet Bai Yu! I definitely will!"

Kitagawa Kaimu paused for a moment and said, "I'm so sure, why?"

"Because Bai Yu and I are destined to be together. It's fate, it's inevitable."

"Um...I don't quite understand..."

"Then let's take it as a sign of fate."

"Oh!"

After a moment of contemplation, Kitagawa Kaisuke said in confusion, "Eh? Yuuko-nee, you and Shiraha-sensei must have been in love for many years, right?"

"No, we haven't been together for very long, but that's reality. In fact, our love has transcended the world, life and death, time, space, and even soul and mind... It's been a long wait. Now, thinking back to when we weren't together, I always feel..."

"It felt like I was waiting for something, an endless wait, and I was very anxious. But after we got together... I felt at ease, and time seemed to flow normally again."

Kitagawa Kaimu paused for a moment, then said, "Yuko-nee, you and Manager Shiraha have been through so much..."

Kitagawa Kaimu didn't think too much about it. She just felt that Ichihara Yuuko and Shiraha must have some very touching story and experience. After all, they had crossed the line between life and death. What kind of love story must that be?

A young girl's thoughts are quite simple; they are nothing more than her own life, hobbies, future, and those beautiful or touching stories.

Yuuko Ichihara nodded and said gently, "That's right... If I had to say..."

"what?"

Yuko Ichihara looked up, turned around, and said with a smile, "Shiroha can live without Yuko Ichihara, but Yuko Ichihara absolutely cannot lose Shiroha. Shiroha can find countless Yuko Ichiharas, but countless Yuko Ichiharas can only find one Shiroha..."

Kitagawa Kaimu swallowed hard. What kind of love was this? The sincerity and affection in Ichihara Yuuko's eyes moved her. She suddenly became very curious about what love was.

Yuuko Ichihara turned her head back to continue drawing her sketch, while Kaimu Kitagawa remarked with emotion, "Yuuko-neechan, you really love Manager Shiraha..."

"Hmm...it's my favorite."

"Oh...."

Kitagawa Kaimu didn't know what love was, but she did know that the woman in front of her, who was already perfect in her eyes, had a man she deeply loved.

Kitagawa Kaimu hesitated for a moment before asking, "Yuko-nee, how did you and Manager Shiraha meet? How did you get together?"

"This problem... to put it simply (omitting countless words), that's about it."

Kitagawa Kaimu was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen... But Yuuko-nee, it's so good that you ended up with Manager Shiraha. Manager Shiraha is really kind."

"Yes, I think so too. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I'm very fortunate that the best thing I did was to fill my whole life with hope and happiness."

"Hmm... Shopkeeper Shiraha is really completely different from those male protagonists in anime..."

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "That's true. The idea of ​​a male lead like that is really boring. Lucy and the others were complaining about it before, and Shiraha herself doesn't really like that kind of male lead either."

"Is that so?"

"That's right. Bai Yu said that if you like someone, you like them. If you've thought about it carefully, you should consider it properly. If you like someone and the other person likes you too, then just be direct."

"Yes! Many anime are like this! They have to have stomach-ache scenes, as if there's no plot without stomach-ache. Either the male lead is too stupid and cowardly, or the female lead is full of entanglements and misunderstandings. What could be resolved in one episode takes two or three seasons to finish, and in the end, all they do is hold hands. It's really speechless."

Yuko Ichihara said with a smile, "I didn't realize you were so excited. But that's true. Different age groups have different experiences and thoughts, so we can't generalize like that."

"Yeah, yeah, by the way, Yuuko-nee, you read comics too!"

Yuko Ichihara said irritably, "Why can't I read comics? I spend my own money to buy the books and spend my own time reading them. Why would I read books that I can't find interesting plots even after a year or two, instead of reading the ones I like?"

"Mmm-hmm! Yuuko-nee! You're so kind!"

"Huh? Is it really that simple to just say 'yes'?"

"No, Yuuko-neechan is really nice."

"It feels like I've been friend-zoned, but the sketch is done, and next comes garment making. Now is the part you should start learning."

Kitagawa Kaimu responded and went over to look at the sketch, which was exactly the same as the maid outfit she remembered. Kitagawa Kaimu's eyes lit up, and she realized that she would have to take some time to study the drafting.

"Hai Meng, you must remember that when designing a piece of clothing, you must learn to draw. This way, you will have a foundation, and you can also improve your aesthetic sense. If something is wrong along the way, you can see it at a glance. That's the purpose of a sketch."

"Oh... what if the drawing is ugly?"

"Pfft... That's a very real question. As for you, if you're not worried, just make sure the overall structure is right, and you have a general idea of ​​the patterns. After all, you're not a professional fashion designer."

"Oh, I see..."

"And then, these are the tools. First, this is called chalk, and then..."

Yuuko Ichihara chatted with Kaimu Kitagawa as they made clothes. Kaimu Kitagawa listened attentively, and Yuuko Ichihara would occasionally let her try them on.

Kitagawa Kaimu was quickly stunned. Not only did she need to know how to draw, but she also needed to know how to use many tools and many other skills. She originally thought that she only needed to know how to sew.

When Yuuko Ichihara took a sewing machine out of a box, Kaimu Kitagawa exclaimed in surprise, "Yuuko-nee! You can use a sewing machine?!"

"Yes, we're in the shop now, so we can't use a classic sewing machine like that. We have to use this one. It's not bad, it's semi-automatic, but I'm still not very skilled at using it sometimes."

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded and said, "Eh? Yuuko-nee, you said it's at the shop? Then is it...?"

"I'll definitely have my own family in the future. Bai Yu will still run the shop, but I'll still need my own home, so I'll have to design my own room. The space will definitely be much larger, so naturally I'll need to prepare a classic sewing machine."

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded and said, "I see... So, Yuuko-nee, are you still in the shop?"

"Occasionally, I guess. After all, I don't have much to do. I sometimes come to the shop to keep Bai Yu company. I can always go home during the day. Hai Meng, if you want to come to me, you can come to my house or the shop. Just let me know in advance."

"Oh...I see! By the way, Yuuko-nee, you said you and Manager Shiraha are in a romantic relationship, but you also have a more special relationship. What is it?"

"Hmm? You really want to know?"

"Ok!"

Yuuko Ichihara smiled slightly and said casually, "To put it simply, if I'm willing to die for him, we definitely won't be one of us left. It's either both of us live, or both of us..."

Kitagawa Kaimu was dumbfounded. What the hell?! Is she really that serious?! The magic of love is terrifying! However, Kitagawa Kaimu also knows Ichihara Yuuko very well. Ichihara Yuuko is very serious about her relationship with Shiraha.

Just as Kitagawa Kaimu was struggling with her decision, Ichihara Yuuko suddenly thought of something, smiled, and said, "Kaimu, do you have any part-time jobs right now?"

"Part-time job... still the same old thing, I recently found a job as a receptionist at a restaurant."

"Huh? That must be tough."

"I'm fine, what's wrong?"

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "Any plans for summer vacation?"

"I don't know, but I definitely won't work all summer. It's so hot, it'll be even more tiring. I'm not stupid enough to stand all day. I'll definitely reduce my part-time jobs and take some time to travel. What about you guys, Yuko-nee? Want to open a shop together?"

"Oh? What a coincidence, that's exactly what I wanted to tell you."

"Eh?"

Kitagawa Kaimu was taken aback. Was she really asking such a question? But before she could ask what it was about, she heard Ichihara Yuuko say gently, "In that case, you can come and visit us with Kyoko and the others during the summer vacation."

"Huh?! Following Hori-senpai and the others?! And then going to find Yuuko-nee and the others?!"

Yuko Ichihara nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. We plan to close on July 10th, then go on a trip abroad and come back at the end of August. Our final destination is the beach, but we haven't decided which beach yet."

Kitagawa Kaimu said hesitantly, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate...?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Kyoko and the others have already made their plans. They just need to wait for news before they leave. You don't need to prepare anything; just bring your luggage. Eh? Didn't I ask Fukami to tell you? Didn't she?"

"Uh...no."

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "Nami Fukami is very reliable. She probably thinks that what I said will be more effective. So, Umi, since you have a lot of free time anyway and you want to go out and have fun, you might as well come with us."

"Forehead..."

"Don't worry about food, clothing, and accommodation. The only problem is transportation. I can tell from how conflicted you are. It's settled then."

"Huh?! I... I'm not..."

"What do you mean me? No, I'm asking you, do you want to go to the beach this summer?"

"think."

Do you like eating delicious food?

"like."

Want to end your summer vacation on a perfect note?

"Ok!"

"That's settled then, it's agreed upon."

"Oh...."

Kitagawa Kaimu was pulled over by Ichihara Yuuko in a daze, but when she came to her senses, she was still very touched.

Having lost her mother at a young age and with her father rarely home due to work, she had always been a girl lacking love and family warmth. Now, being taken care of like this, Kitagawa Kaimu felt a lump in her throat.

"You know, if you ask me, you should come to the restaurant to eat whenever you have time. That way, at least you can eat clean and hygienic food, and you can also get the nutrition you need. It's cheap and you can still eat your fill. Isn't that great? You should eat less of those fast food products."

"Eh? You don't have a part-time job tonight, right? If not, you can have dinner here too. It'll probably take you all afternoon to finish this dress. Managi and the others are quite interested in you, too."

"And...hey? Haimeng, what's wrong?"

Kitagawa Kaimu wiped her eyes and said with a smile, "I'm fine! It's just that I feel that both Yuuko-nee and Manager Shiraha are too kind!"

"I know, I know. You're a grown woman who can live independently, yet you're still so naive."

"I...."

Kitagawa Kaimu didn't say anything and just continued watching Ichihara Yuuko make clothes. Downstairs, on the other side, Sota and Shiraha were both carrying trays, but Shiraha was carrying two trays while Sota was carrying one with both hands.

Each plate had a drink on it. Shiraha didn't say anything, but Sota called out, "Onee-chan!"

"So... eh? Souta, what's this...?"

"Brother Baiyu said this is a reward!"

Hinami Aoi and the others were taken aback. After Bai Yu nodded and put the drinks on the table, he smiled and said, "Studying also requires a balance between work and rest. It's rare to see Xiao Qiong studying so seriously."

"Um...it really is amazing."
