People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"I also feel it's impossible... I really don't know what's so great about that kid. By the way, Hai Meng, which line should we switch to..."

"Hmm... this! Let's go, Yuko-nee, this train runs very frequently."

"Eh? Why?"

Kitagawa Kaimiya thought for a moment and said, "It's probably because...this car's route is the shortest..."

"Oh...it's here...Eh?! It's here already! So fast!"

"Right!"

Just as the two boarded the train, Ran Mouri whispered from the other side, "Shinichi, are you sleepy?"

"Of course, I'm so sleepy... Xiaolan, keep an eye on that girl named Haimeng."

Ran Mouri paused for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

"She's a hot girl, isn't she...? Don't let her recommend any shady friends to you, this burglary is one of them..."

Ran Mouri said with a dissatisfied look, "Shinichi! Maybe she just likes this kind of outfit? Besides, Umi is a very nice person. It's a pity you were asleep and didn't hear anything. She's a WGO model, so nothing like what you're saying will happen!"

Shinichi Kudo waved his hand and said, "Then it's up to you. We've arrived at the karate club. I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow..."

"Huh? Shinichi, where are you going?"

"Going to pick up my ordered sneakers...it's finally here after a month...see you tomorrow!"

"Um...see you tomorrow...."

Watching Shinichi Kudo leave, Ran Mouri suddenly felt very annoyed. "You just took a pair of sneakers and from morning till now, not to mention being late or behaving very tactlessly on the train."

He simply didn't ask Ran Mouri what she was doing at the karate club, how much time she would spend there, or if she had a short time, whether she should take a look around later.

However, Ran Mouri wasn't too disappointed because she had prepared well in advance. She didn't know why, but instead of having some fantasies, she was always preparing for the worst. So she brought her karate uniform to practice, and as it turned out, she was right.

But for some reason, the feeling that it was right made her even more upset. She could no longer see Shinichi Kudo at all. Ran Mouri sighed and then walked towards the karate dojo.

Meanwhile, Bai Yu strolled leisurely on the other side. He didn't go to other cities, but just walked along the street. After walking for a while, he saw a rather old-fashioned shop at the end of a small alley.

"Manager Tanaka, I'm here."

An elderly man paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Oh! Isn't this Bai Yu? You've come! Thank you so much for your recipe for the jam on that bread; it sold so well."

"It was just a small favor, Manager Tanaka. What great fortune do you have now?"

"Oh, at this hour... You have everything except tiramisu filling, and the chocolate ones are being made right now. Is this for your girlfriend? Isn't she here?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "She's working overtime, so I wanted to go see her and bring her some snacks. She really likes the daifuku here."

"Haha! I'm glad you like it. What would you like to eat? A single-flavor gift box, or a mixed set?"

"Let's get a mixed selection, hmm... cherry blossom, matcha, strawberry, French custard, mousse, mango, vanilla, yogurt, and... red bean."

"Okay! Just a moment!"

Bai Yu glanced at the sky outside the window and said softly, "Manager Tanaka, your shop really opens early."

"Yes, make it fresh and sell it on the spot. That way, customers will feel more comfortable eating it. Hot snacks are the most comforting. Snacks, snacks, you have to put your heart into them. Here, this is your Dafu."

"Okay, how much?"

"Sixteen thousand, a friendly price, isn't that a good deal!"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "That's very kind of you. I'll definitely come here often for your friendly price."

"Okay! You two can come together next time. Hey, have you thought about when to get married?"

"Just over the next two years..."

"These past two years... Great! When we have kids, bring them along, and they'll get a share, it'll be on me!"

"Thank you very much."

Chapter 372 Yumiko's Surprise: She's Actually Hori Kyoko's Mother (Please Subscribe~)

Bai Yu paid the bill, took the daifuku, and left. This shop held some special significance for Bai Yu because he and Yumiko had come here together, and they had discovered it by chance.

At this moment, in a company office, Yumiko was resting her forehead on her hand, looking at a report on her computer, with a steaming cup of coffee beside her.

"Yumiko!"

"Huh? You startled me. What's wrong? Is there a new job?"

Yumiko looked up and saw a smiling woman. The woman shook her head and said, "Of course not, Yumiko. You should take a break. You don't need to work so hard overtime."

"Me? It's for the long holiday, you know?"

"I don't understand. Hey? Don't you have a boyfriend?"

Yumiko nodded and said, "Yes, to be precise, he should be called my fiancé."

"Oh my god! Time flies! I'm still single! You're getting married! How's your fiancé? Is he handsome? How's his finances? Is he well-off? What kind of job does he have? Is he considerate?"

Yumiko smiled wryly and said, "Mrs. Hori... you really care about this..."

"Of course! My daughter's already in high school. In our company, you're the only one who works this hard. You've even secretly gotten engaged! Confess... oh... I see..."

Yumiko asked in confusion, "Hmm? What do you know?"

Hori Yuriko chuckled mischievously and said, "Hehe... Yumiko... Do you want to take a long vacation and then go on a pre-wedding trip with your fiancé?"

Yumiko blushed, then nodded and said, "That's true, but we're mostly discussing the future housing situation. This is the most complete gathering of all the sisters in the family, so we definitely can't spoil the fun."

Hori Yuriko paused for a moment and said, "Sisters? The kind of sisters I'm thinking of?"

"Yeah, the kind of sister you're thinking of, what's wrong?"

Hori Yuriko said with a worried expression, "Yumiko, you're always so busy, taking care of the family. I'm worried you'll be scammed..."

Yumiko smiled and said, "No, we've been in love for a long time. He's a very good person, handsome and considerate, he can cook, and... in short, he fulfills all my fantasies about a husband."

Hori Yuriko thought for a moment and said, "I also know someone who has many girlfriends, but he is very outstanding and a very nice person. He knows my precious daughter and son, and they have received a lot of help from him."

"Son and daughter... Hori..."

"what happened?"

Just as Yumiko was about to speak, the office phone rang. Yumiko apologized, and Hori Yuriko simply shook her head. After Yumiko answered the phone, the security guard on the other end said, "Miss Fuji, it's like this, someone is coming to see you, saying they are a family member."

"Family member? Male or female? What's their name?"

"It's a man. He didn't say his name, only that he just came from Manager Tanaka's place. Do you know him?"

"Manager Tanaka... Oh! Let him in."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, the security guard smiled at Bai Yu and said, "Okay, go in now. But why didn't you tell her your name?"

"Well... it's a little surprise, she didn't know I was coming."

"A little surprise...you are...you and Miss Fuji are...a couple?"

"Yes."

"I knew it! Go on, she's the most dedicated to working overtime in the company. She'll definitely be happy to know you're here. But I really didn't expect that Miss Fuji would have a boyfriend. Great, that's wonderful. He's a caring young man. Go on."

Bai Yu smiled and nodded before walking toward the elevator. The security guard just chuckled and muttered, "Hey, youth is really great," before continuing to watch the movie.

On the other side, Hori Yuriko asked in confusion, "Hmm? Yumiko, did anyone from your family come to visit you?"

"Hmm, it should be Shusuke..."

"Shusuke... Oh! You mean your younger brother? He's so considerate."

"Yes, because there are only four people who know about Tanaka's shop: me, my two younger brothers, and my fiancé. He must be busy. Yuta is staying at St. Rudolph's, so it must be Shusuke."

Hori Yuriko nodded and said, "Oh, I see. It seems your fiancé is very busy too. Well, you should have a good time during this long holiday, relax and strengthen your relationship. Eh? What were you about to say?"

"I was just about to say..."

Just as she was about to speak, she heard a knock on the door. Since not many people were working overtime, Yumiko stood up to see who it was, but she froze as soon as she stood up.

"Looks like we don't need to ask Yumiko which office you're in."

Yumiko paused for a few seconds before breaking into a smile and saying, "You're quite something, finding so many offices right away. Is that some kind of telepathy?"

"I guess you could say that, some kind of guidance from the unseen world."

Yumiko covered her mouth and chuckled as she walked over. She looked up at Bai Yu and said, "What kind of mysterious guidance is this? What brings you here?"

Bai Yu held up the box in his hand and said, "I saw you posted a message last night saying you wanted to eat daifuku, so I came to treat you."

"Oh! It's Daifuku from the Tanaka family! Honestly, you didn't even tell me you were coming. I thought it was Shusuke."

"A little surprise, do you like it?"

"This is a big surprise! Okay, okay, don't just stand there, come with me."

Yumiko naturally took Shiraha's hand and walked towards her office area. When they returned, Hori Yuriko said in surprise, "Oh my, Manager Shiraha."

"So it's Mrs. Hori. What a coincidence! I didn't expect you and Yumiko to work for the same company."

"Huh? So Kyoko and Shota really are your children, Mrs. Hori? What a coincidence."

Yuriko Hori glanced at Yumiko, and Yumiko looked back at Yuriko Hori. After a long while, the two couldn't help but laugh. Yumiko sighed and said, "I knew it looked so familiar. Mrs. Hori, are you done with your work?"

"Okay, I'll be off work and going home soon."

"Let's chat for a while. Bai Yu brought Dafu with him."

"Okay, I'm also very curious about how delicious the daifuku is that even Manager Shiraha would buy."

Chapter 373 Hori Kyoko's Reason for Wanting to Study Medicine, A Mother's Guilt (Please Subscribe~)

Hori Yuriko pulled up a chair for Shiraha, and Shiraha didn't say anything. Hori Yuriko also pushed her own chair over, and the three of them chatted like that.

"Wow, what a beautiful daifuku! No wonder Manager Shiraha approves of it so much. Where did you buy it?"

Yumiko, holding a cherry blossom daifuku, said, "This one, I'm not entirely sure of the address yet. I just know it's in... there's a trading company there, the one next to that really popular ramen shop, you know?"

"Oh! I know, what's wrong?"

"On the street behind that trading company, there's a street sign, and next to that sign is an alley. If you walk into the alley, you'll see a shop called Tanaka Sweets. It's a family business, and the prices are very cheap while the taste is excellent."

Hori Yuriko exclaimed in realization, "Oh, that's quite secluded. Why open a shop in a place like that?"

"Because of urban development, the walls will gradually be blocked off. But there are still a lot of customers. After all, it's a prime location. Plus, the food is delicious, hygienic, and beautiful. It's a great gift or something to have for afternoon tea."

Hori Yuriko nodded and said, "I knew it... But I really didn't expect that the fiancé you mentioned, Yumiko, is Manager Shiraha. What a coincidence! I was worried for a long time that you would be deceived by a bad man, but I'm relieved to see that it's Manager Shiraha."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "To be honest, I was also surprised that you, Mrs. Hori, are Yumiko's colleague. It's quite a coincidence."

"Yes, Kyoko and Sota caused you trouble yesterday, I'm so sorry."

"No, thanks to Kyoko and the others, Sora is also very serious about her studies, and Sota is also very well-behaved."

Hori Yuriko smiled and said, "That's good. Kyoko said yesterday that you gave them a lesson and solved a lot of their problems. You seem very confident now."

"Okay, then good luck. Kyoko and the others are all very smart, they'll definitely get into their dream universities. Yumiko, why are you working overtime on the weekend too?"

"Oh, this is for Monday. This way I can leave work earlier. I didn't work overtime yesterday, and I was bored this morning so I came here. It's such a coincidence that Mrs. Hori is here too."

Hori Yuriko waved her hand and said, "If I finish this, there won't be any work that requires me to work overtime for a while. In that case, Kyoko can relax a bit these next few days. Manager Shiraha is so nice, unlike Kyosuke, I only see him a few times a month."

Bai Yu said gently, "That's why we cherish time together as a family..."

"Yes, of course. By the way, Kyosuke also said that when he comes back next time, he wants to eat at your restaurant, Manager Shiraha, before summer vacation. He won't have time during summer vacation, and it seems like your restaurant won't be open then."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "You're welcome anytime. Lucy and the others really like Kyoko and the others, and they treat them like their own little sisters."

"Thank you so much... Oh, Yumiko is working again."

Yumiko smiled and said, "Yeah, it's almost one o'clock. I'll go home as soon as I'm done. If you're free, Shiraha, wait for me."

"Okay."

"Ok!"

Hori Yuriko smiled and said, "How thoughtful! Oh, right, Manager Shiraha, I heard from Kyoko that you were going to the beach at the end of summer vacation and invited Kyoko and the others, right?"
