People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Well, after all, I'll be a senior in high school soon and have to prepare for the college entrance exam. This is my last leisurely summer vacation in high school, so I definitely want to relax and have some unforgettable memories."

“That’s true… It will be much easier once Kyoko gets into university. I’m really looking forward to it. But I still hope she can get into Tokyo Metropolitan University. That way, it’ll be close to home and convenient.”

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Well, Kyoko will be fine. But speaking of which, I really didn't expect Kyoko's target major to be medicine."

Yumiko was also taken aback for a moment and said, "Studying medicine? That's a great major. I thought Kyoko would prefer pure humanities majors."

Hori Yuriko paused for a moment, then said, "Kyoko wants to study medicine... um... it's perfectly normal for her to want to study medicine..."

Bai Yu asked疑惑地, "What's wrong? Mrs. Hori, it seems like you're hiding something?"

Hori Yuriko sighed and said, "Because when Kyoko was little, there was no Sota yet. I hadn't come to this company yet either. At that time, my job was on the rise, and Kyosuke was also very busy."

“Kyoko was just starting elementary school at the time. My husband and I were often away from home, so I was the only one who could occasionally prepare breakfast for her. It was very simple, but Kyoko learned to cook at such a young age and developed excellent skills.”

“In other families, the mother takes care of the child, but in our case, it's the opposite. Kyoko is the one taking care of us. Sometimes she works overtime and comes home to cook, and she even gives us massages. But we give the child so little…”

Hori Yuriko sighed and said, "Looking back now, it was really irresponsible of me. Kyoko got sick several times, with colds and fevers. Besides being able to ask for leave for her and remind her to take her medicine, I couldn't even stay home with her. Kyoko was always very understanding and told me not to worry, that she could take care of herself."

"But that look in her eyes still hoped I would stay, but I never did. She could be more willful as a daughter, but she never was. Even when she was sick, she would prepare her own lunch at home, and sometimes she would prepare her own dinner if I couldn't make it back in time."

Hori Yuriko sighed and said, "After Sota came along, she devoted all her free time to taking care of her younger brother. Now that I think about it, her desire to study medicine was probably because she had no one to take care of her when she was sick as a child, which is why she had this idea."

Yumiko sighed and said, "Kyoko is very sensible. Mrs. Hori, you are a good mother. Don't doubt yourself. Otherwise, you wouldn't be working so hard now so that Kyoko can go out and relax during the summer vacation."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Mrs. Hori, you don't need to worry about anything. Kyoko is very sensible and she will understand you. After all, independent children are more mature. If you feel indebted, just talk to her more often when you can be by her side."

"Ah."

Chapter 374 Yumiko, who lets loose, and the optimistic Kitagawa Kaimu (Please subscribe~)

Yumiko continued processing the documents, chatting occasionally with Shiraha and Hori Yuriko. Hori Yuriko seemed to have a weight lifted off her shoulders, and her mood had clearly improved considerably.

She had never truly felt guilty towards Hori Kyoko about this matter, but she didn't know who to confide in. Now that she had, Hori Yuriko was visibly relieved.

About half an hour later, Yumiko stretched and said, "Okay, done. Save! I can finally go home! Mrs. Hori, what about you?"

Hori Yuriko nodded and said, "I should get off work too. Let's go together. This daifuku is really good. I'll bring some back for Kyoko and Sota on the way back."

Bai Yu nodded and said gently, "They'll like it. By the way, there should be tiramisu flavor available at this time. You can buy two for them to try. Yumiko really likes that flavor."

Yumiko smiled and said, "Yes, that tastes delicious."

"Alright, I won't be a third wheel then. Yumiko, remember to lock the office. I'll head back now."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Mrs. Hori."

"See you tomorrow."

After Hori Yuriko left, Yumiko turned around in her chair, looked up, and said with a smile, "So, did you suddenly appear to scare me?"

"Couldn't it be a surprise for you?"

"I don't believe you. Do you have something to do later?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "What if I say I have something to do?"

"Then I'll bite you. I can tell you're okay today, so you're mine today. You'll stay with me today."

"Yumiko, you're surprisingly assertive."

Yumiko smiled and said, "When it comes to your own happiness, you have to be assertive. We still have some time, let's go see a movie. I just wanted to see a movie, I was originally planning to see a late-night showing, but now is perfect."

"Okay."

After Yumiko packed her things and locked the door, she hugged Bai Yu's arm and said softly, "Everything's taken care of. Let's go. It's such a rare treat. It's been so long since we went out alone together. I'm not going to let you off easily today."

"I suddenly regret coming over. Can you pretend you didn't see me?"

Yumiko rolled her eyes, stood on tiptoe, hooked her arm around Shiraha's neck, kissed Shiraha's cheek, and said with a smile, "No, I'm watching you. You can't run away even if you want to. Here's a deposit. If you behave well today, I'll give you a reward."

"Hmm? You should have told me there was a reward."

"Pfft... You're so real! Come on, don't even think about running away. You're not going to leave my sight until you open the shop! Eh? Eh?! Bai Yu! Put me down!"

Before Yumiko could finish speaking, she found herself being picked up in a princess carry by Shiraha. Yumiko blushed, and Shiraha smiled and said, "Isn't it easier to keep an eye on things this way?"

"You chatterbox! Put me down right now! We're still at the company! What if someone sees us!"

"Ok?"

"Don't play dumb! You're doing this on purpose!"

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "But Yumiko, you don't seem to be struggling at all..."

Yumiko blushed and buried her face in Shiro's chest, saying in a muffled voice, "Anyway, no one can see my face. I'm tired. Don't put me down until we get to the parking lot!"

"puff..."

"Don't laugh! Oh, and... keep it a secret, don't tell Lucy and the others..."

"Okay...pfft...."

"Hey! That's enough! Stop laughing!"

Just as Yumiko was enjoying her time alone with her boyfriend, Kitagawa Kaimu and Ichihara Yuko arrived. Ichihara Yuko looked at the neighborhood in front of her and nodded, saying, "Hmm, it's a very quiet place. Kaimu, do you live in this community?"

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded and said, "Yeah, Yuuko-nee, let's hurry back, otherwise lunchtime will be over by the time we're all done cleaning up."

"So, are you in a hurry to pack your things, or in a hurry to sign the contract at WGO, or in a hurry to catch up on your studies?"

Kitagawa Kaimu grinned and said, "Yuko-nee, why did you skip over me and rush to have you treat me to dinner?"

Yuko Ichihara pinched Kaimu Kitagawa's cheek and said, "I knew you'd say that. Hurry up and let's go. Did you bring your keys? If you didn't, I'll pinch your cheeks until they're swollen."

"Hmm... I brought it! I'm not stupid!"

"Hmm? That's a bit of a pity."

"Huh?! Yuuko-nee! What are you doing?! My face isn't clay!"

Yuko Ichihara said with a smile, "It's full of collagen and feels great to the touch. It's much more fun than Play-Doh. Oh, let's go, let's go."

"Oh!"

The two stopped in front of a room. Kitagawa Kaimu took out the key and glanced triumphantly at Ichihara Yuko. Ichihara Yuko simply waved her hand and opened the door, leaving Ichihara Yuko stunned.

It was very clean, but not much furnished; it was just an ordinary modern small house. Kitagawa Haimu picked up a pair of slippers and said, "Yuko-nee, you've been wearing high heels for so long, why don't you rest for a bit? What would you like to drink? We have tea, soda water, and soft drinks..."

"Hmm... soda water, huh? Surprisingly clean."

"Of course, I tidy it up every day. Yuko-nee, you can rest for a while. I'll go pack my things. Just treat it like your own home. It's not that big anyway. The toilet is over there."

"Ah."

Kitagawa Kaimu excitedly ran to the kitchen, grabbed a can of soda, and then rushed to her room. Ichihara Yuuko looked at the photo next to the TV cabinet; it was a family photo of the three of them. Kaimu was very young then, but her mother passed away shortly after.

Yuko Ichihara took a sip of soda water before standing up and walking towards the kitchen. Everything was clean, but it lacked a kitchen feel. It was clear that Haimeng wasn't very good at cooking. Just as Nanami Nami said, she probably didn't know how to cook much other dishes besides fried rice.

Yuko Ichihara looked at the refrigerator and was stunned. Apart from the instant food products, there was only half a scallion, half a box of eggs, a box of ham, and a small box of bacon. It was very simple. The vegetables were just a cucumber and a tomato.

At first glance, it seems like the ingredients were chosen based on a recipe, but the selection is far too limited, and there are too many fast food products. Yuuko Ichihara sighed and said, "How does this girl usually live... and she's still so optimistic..."

Kitagawa Kaimu wanted to take everything with her, but after packing it into her suitcase, she felt it was useless and took it out again.

"Hmm... I should bring these pajamas with me..."

"Hmm... I definitely need to bring a change of socks and underwear..."

"What else... Ah! These little trinkets! And a charger! The store has computers, so I don't need to bring my laptop."

"Then there are clothes... um... this one... this one and this one, these jeans, and... um... this one too, and this one, and this one..."

After a long while, Kitagawa Kaimu looked at her suitcase, which was only half full, and sighed, saying, "That's about it... I feel like I've forgotten something..."

"Ah! My camera and my wig!"

After carefully packing away the DSLR camera she had saved up for so long, along with her wig, Kitagawa Kaimu closed her suitcase, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Well, this time it's all there. That's it! I'm off!"

Kitagawa Kaimu said something to someone, then picked up her suitcase and walked out. She was stunned as soon as she went out because she didn't see Ichihara Yuuko.

Kitagawa Kaimu peeked out and saw Ichihara Yuko standing in front of the kitchen window, looking out. Notably, Ichihara Yuko was holding a can of soda water.

"Yuko-neechan! Yuko-neechan! I'm all packed!"

Upon hearing this, Yuko Ichihara turned around and saw Kaimu Kitagawa carrying a suitcase. Yuko Ichihara said gently, "All packed? Let's go then. But you really do live on fast food, don't you?"

"No, I do cook some meals myself. I don't really only eat fast food products."

"Eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, ham, scallions, you're so busy you're afraid of tiring up the refrigerator with just one more! Tell me what you're going to make with these vegetables, and I can tell you everything."

Before Kitagawa Kaimu could even blink and speak, Ichihara Yuuko said irritably, "Tomato and egg stir-fry, cucumber and egg stir-fry, cucumber and egg soup, tomato and egg soup, soup without eggs, tomato and egg stir-fry with cucumber, cucumber salad, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, steamed egg cake, boiled eggs, tell me what else I haven't mentioned?"

"Ham..."

"Ham and eggs? Anything else?"

Kitagawa Kaimu whispered, "There's...there's...there's still fried rice!"

"I heard from Shen Shishi that you like to eat fried rice and are good at making it, so what? Besides fried rice, what else is there? Is that all you have? You really only have what I mentioned!"

"no!"

Yuko Ichihara paused for a moment, then said, "Huh? What else?"

Kitagawa Kaimu said defiantly, "I can't make sponge cake!"

The air froze. After a long pause, Yuko Ichihara blinked and said in disbelief, "How could you say that with such pride?"

"Um... I do buy noodles occasionally! Not instant noodles!"

Yuuko Ichihara rolled her eyes and said, "I'm really fed up with you. Alright, alright, let's go. I'll take you to eat barbecue. Eat as much as you want, it's on me."

"Then I won't be polite!"

"Let's go! Hey, let's make this clear first, you don't need to bring toiletries or anything like that. We can buy bed sheets and skincare products later. You didn't bring any, did you?"

"No, no, I only brought a change of clothes and some props, oh... and the DSLR camera I saved up to buy before!"

Yuko Ichihara nodded and said, "Okay, let's go then."

"Ok!"

"If you have time, learn more cooking from Bai Yu. At least keep some other ingredients in the fridge, instead of just using the same ones over and over again. Oh, and learn how to make sponge cakes while you're at it."

"Hmm... Is the sponge cake delicious?"

"I feel it's very similar to chawanmushi (steamed egg custard). Have you ever tried it?"

"I can eat eight bowls!"

"puff...."

Just as the two people on this side left, in the gym on the other side, Yuno Gasai was expressionlessly holding the heaviest dumbbell, playing on her phone while exercising.

Akemi swallowed hard, then leaned over and poked Yuno Gasai's arm. Yuno Gasai asked in confusion, "Hmm? Akemi, is something the matter?"

Akemi Souyuuin covered her face and said, "Yuno! How do you manage to lift this weight of dumbbell so easily when you have no muscles at all? Although Seiji-nee and Momo-nee can do it, they have muscles!"

Yuno Gasai tilted her head and said, "Ah...so heavy..."

Sakura Hibiki said irritably, "Can't you be a little more sincere?! Hey! Sora, can you explain yourself?"

"I can't explain it. You just need to know that Yuno is a very willful person."

Yuno Gasai put down the dumbbells, thought for a moment, and said, "So, you've always been this lazy when you work out?"

"Hmm? Is fifteen pounds considered slacking off?!"

Yuno Gasai picked up a 50-pound dumbbell from the side, and Kasugano Sora immediately took two steps back, looking wary, and said, "Yuno... what are you going to do?"

"It's nothing, I just changed to a normal dumbbell."

"Um...can't you at least show some facial expression to prove this has weight?!"

Yuno Gasai looked at it before putting the dumbbells aside. Kasugano Sora looked at Sakurajima Mai, who was holding dumbbells in both hands and placing them on the shelf, and also looked helpless.

That's right, Sakurajima Mai was also dragged over by Gasai Yuno. Sakurajima Mai had previously tried to lift the dumbbells Gasai Yuno was using, and almost fell to the ground as a result.
