People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

While they were enjoying their meal, Yuuko Ichihara and Kaimu Kitagawa arrived at a yakiniku restaurant. Kaimu Kitagawa remarked in surprise, "Huh? It doesn't seem like there are many people here."

"Trust me, this is Longdan's recommendation. If we're talking about who eats the most in the family, it's her."

"Oh..."

Yuko Ichihara and Ichihara found a seat. Before Yuko could even order, she paused, as if she had spotted someone she knew.

Chapter 381 An unexpected encounter with Akemi Miyano reminds me of absinthe (Please subscribe~)

At that moment, Yuuko Ichihara suddenly noticed a woman leisurely eating grilled meat at a table not far from her. The woman wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was very pleasing to the eye.

Yuuko Ichihara immediately went over and said with a smile, "Yo! Manager! Long time no see!"

The woman looked up and saw Yuko Ichihara before smiling and saying, "Oh, it's Miss Yuko! It's been a long time. How was the face cream I bought before?"

"It's super easy to use and absorbs really well. Nami asked me to tell you that it's very effective. I just wanted to ask if you have any hand creams suitable for people whose skin isn't dehydrated. As you know, Nami loves eating fruit and grew up by the sea."

"Hmm...I see...Yes, there are, but the degree varies so I can't really say. Perhaps we could have Miss Nami come over sometime. Miss Nami's skin does look quite hydrated."

"It's not just not lacking, I suspect they're so well-stocked they could be wrung out of water."

Before Mie Ishida (Akami Miyano) could say anything, Yuuko Ichihara asked in confusion, "Manager Ishida, did you come alone?"

Mie Ishida nodded and said, "Yes, this restaurant was recommended by Rindou. The food is really delicious, but I've almost finished eating. Yuuko-san, did you just arrive?"

"Yeah, hey, if you're not busy, come over and chat for a bit. I can also introduce you to a new user."

"Okay, boss, check please!"

A middle-aged man looked at it and then smiled and said, "It's two thousand three hundred and fifty in total, two thousand three will do."

"Okay, the money's here!"

"it is good!"

When Yuuko Ichihara brought Mie Ishida over, she saw Kaimu Kitagawa still holding the menu, her eyes shining as she struggled to decide what to order.

"Hai Meng, have you placed your order?"

"I've ordered! Yuuko-nee, you order too!"

Yuuko Ichihara nodded and called out to the shop manager, "Manager! Orders are being taken!"

"Here it is! Great, you can order anytime!"

"Hmm, this is what's on this piece of paper, and then... this braised pork belly, this honey-glazed spare ribs, marinated cod, black pepper beef tenderloin, and this beef shoulder, and this braised spicy beef, um... and this fern salad, and a glass of rice wine!"

Kitagawa Kaimu quickly said, "Yuko-nee, have you forgotten that you can't drink alcohol right now?"

"Oh right, I'll have a cup of oolong tea then."

"OK, just a second!"

After the store manager left, Yuko Ichihara smiled and said, "Hai Meng, let me introduce you. This is the store manager of the beauty store we really like, her name is Mie Ishida."

Kitagawa Kaimu quickly said, "Hello, Manager Ishida, I'm Kitagawa Kaimu. I used your toner and it really works amazing! I was just thinking of making time to go and check it out."

Ishida Mie smiled and said, "What a beautiful young lady, Yuuko-san. You two are... old friends, aren't you..."

Yuko Ichihara shook her head and said, "We only really met yesterday, and then things went wrong (several thousand words omitted here). Then, Haimeng became a WGO model, and now she only comes to stay at the store occasionally."

Mie Ishida nodded in realization and said with some surprise, "That's really amazing. To become a WGO model at such a young age is incredible."

Kitagawa Kaimu scratched her head and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's mainly because I was lucky to meet Manager Shiraha that things happened. I'm really grateful to Yuuko-nee and the others."

"Come on, I didn't see you express any gratitude when we were ordering."

"Yuko-nee, you said you'd eat as much as you want, it's on you."

Yuko Ichihara rolled her eyes and said, "You're really not being polite. But this is the first time I've chatted with you like this, Manager Ishida. Hey, Manager Ishida, what brand is this skincare product?"

"This is something I did with some international students when I was a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry at Tokyo University. Some of them were biology students or medical students. After graduation, they all went their separate ways and have companies in their own countries."

"However, the factory and research station are in Northern Europe, and I don't have much ability to be a boss, so I invested in it and then opened a small shop in Tokyo to be in charge of sales."

Yuko Ichihara said with a sudden realization, "Oh, I see. He's a top student. But all of you are from Tokyo Metropolitan University, and none of you are from Sakura University."

"I originally wanted to go to Huangying because the student benefits are better and the campus is better, but after comparing, I think the chemistry major there is better."

Kitagawa Kaimu said doubtfully, "Chemistry...it seems difficult...is it because you like it?"

"Not really. It's mainly because my sister does scientific research. She's very good at chemistry and biology, so she chose chemistry."

Yuuko Ichihara said with some surprise, "Eh? You have a younger sister? Where is she? Is she also involved in developing this skincare product?"

"No, she manufactures medicine and is currently abroad. We don't usually have a chance to meet."

"Researching drugs, huh? That's really impressive. I've been wanting to say this for a while now. Manager Ishida, you're quite pretty, have a great figure, are rich, and have a good personality. You must have a boyfriend by now."

Mie Ishida sighed and said, "What boyfriend? She's still single. Right now, I'm just thinking about how to help my sister live a normal life and encourage her to find a boyfriend as soon as possible."

"I'm okay, but she's completely clueless about dating, she doesn't even know how to talk to boys, and she doesn't have many friends. So I'm definitely worried about her. Just thinking about it gives me a headache."

Yuko Ichihara paused for a moment and said, "Your so-called normal life... it really startled me. You don't seem to have any life at all."

"Hmm... I guess it's just having no life at all."

"Pfft... Your assessment? Hey, any new products lately?"

"There is a foot membrane extracted from wormwood and hyssop that is helpful for girls, but it is still in the experimental stage."

"Absinthe..."

Ishida Mie asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Absinthe... reminds me of someone who might be my sister, but I'm not sure if it is..."

"Hmm? What could this mean..."

"Because I don't even know her real name, and she's not in the sisters' group chat, but she seems to be very close to Bai Yu, not just as close as friends, but as close as lovers."

Mie Ishida paused for a moment and said, "That is indeed strange, but why did you think of wormwood?"

"Oh, because she told us her name was Vermouth."

Mie Ishida's pupils contracted slightly, and her lips parted slightly, but she still smiled and said, "What a strange name."

"Right~"

Chapter 382 The Strange Ishida Mie, Vermouth's Plans (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Mie Ishida was completely stunned. Her real name was Akemi Miyano. She was Vermouth's golden partner in Tokyo and a hidden mole.

Vermouth had previously provided Ishida Mie with information, but there were no photos at all. She only wrote an introduction to the outrageous existence among the fighters, as well as some information about Shiraha.

Mie Ishida even asked Vermouth why there were no photos, and Vermouth replied directly, "I always forget to take pictures, and I'm afraid you'll fall in love, so I didn't give you any."

Mie Ishida was stunned. Although she was almost addicted to being single, she didn't have to be so pathetic. It's not like she hadn't seen handsome guys before.

However, she also learned some information, including the location of the Shirayu restaurant. When she first saw Shirayu, she thought it was someone with the same name, but then she thought it probably wouldn't be in such a remote place, so she didn't think much of it.

Now it seems that this is indeed Shiraha, it's confirmed. Ichihara Yuuko asked in confusion, "Hmm? Manager Ishida, what's wrong?"

"Ah? Oh! It's nothing, it's nothing, I just thought of a chemical reaction."

Yuko Ichihara sighed and said, "So you academic geniuses really do like to think about things related to studying all the time. By the way, come eat at our restaurant sometime. You know where it is, right?"

"Yes, on the quietest street, right?"

"That's right, but we'll only be open at night, and you'd better hurry, we're going on a trip during the summer vacation."

Mie Ishida paused for a moment and said, "Huh? Shouldn't it be crowded during summer vacation? Are you going to go out and play during summer vacation?"

"Of course, Bai Yu finds running a shop enjoyable."

"Okay, I'll go. I'm also very curious about what kind of food it will be. After all, Mr. Bai Yu doesn't look like someone who can cook at all."

"Doesn't it look like it? Hmm... it doesn't really seem that similar..."

Mie Ishida smiled and said, "Right? Sorry, I have to go back now. I still have to pick up the goods this afternoon."

"Yes, remember to come to the store if you have the chance."

"I can't forget it, I can't forget it. Don't worry, I'll be going now. See you next time."

After Ishida Mie left, the ingredients that Ichihara Yuuko and the others ordered were served one after another. Kitagawa Haimu didn't stare at the ingredients with shining eyes, but instead rested her chin on her hand, looking thoughtful.

"Hmm? Hai Meng, what's wrong with you? This isn't like you. With so many ingredients, shouldn't you be very excited?"

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded and said, "That's right, I am indeed very excited, but... I feel like there's something strange about that Ishida store manager."

"Hmm? Something's off. How so?"

Kitagawa Kaisei thought for a moment and said, "Just now, after you mentioned that absinthe, Yuko-nee, I saw that Manager Ishida's pupils contracted and his mouth opened slightly, as if he was very surprised."

Yuko Ichihara paused for a moment before saying in disbelief, "Really? I didn't even notice."

"Because I was face to face with Manager Ishida, I could definitely see it. To be honest, I felt that this was definitely not normal. You see, if a normal person is frightened, their pupils will constrict slightly, which is normal, but there are other situations."

"I know that. Eyes wide open, mouth slightly open, facial muscles slightly stiff or trembling. If it's severe, the head may tilt back, hands clenched into fists, palms sweating, legs trembling, and so on."

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded and said, "That's right, I've seen this mentioned in an educational film. Just now, the store manager Ishida's pupils were slightly constricted and her mouth was slightly open, but her face was stiff and there was no trembling."

Yuko Ichihara paused for a moment and said, "So... you mean Manager Ishida has received special training in micro-expressions?"

"As expected of Yuko-nee! When I was a model, I learned about micro-expressions. It requires special training, otherwise your instincts will definitely betray you. In movies, when those agents are captured and interrogated, they are expressionless the whole time. They have such good mental fortitude that you can't tell if what they are saying is true or false."

Yuko Ichihara nodded and said, "Hmm...that makes sense...your discovery is very interesting, because if it's true, why would she study micro-expressions? It's definitely not because of a hobby or anything like that."

"What's certain is that she knows Vermouth, and their relationship must be quite complicated, otherwise it wouldn't be surprising. Vermouth's job... is really well hidden..."

Kitagawa Kaimu tilted her head and said, "Hmm? What does that Vermouth do?"

"Oh... would you believe me if I said she was an assassin?"

Kitagawa Kaimu rolled her eyes and said, "Yuko-nee, do you think I'm stupid? I don't believe it! There's no such job."

Yuko Ichihara propped her chin on her hand and said, "Then just pretend it's fake. Barbecue, barbecue, Haimeng, with so much meat, you still want to order rice?"

"Eating rice won't make you fat."

"Okay, okay, let's see what we need to buy along the way to WGO first, and then we can buy the rest when we go back in the afternoon."

"Mmm! Mmm? It smells so good! What's it marinated with?"

"Indeed...it lives up to its name, Gentian."

On the other side, Mie Ishida was also walking along, dialing a number on her phone. The call was quickly answered, and a woman drinking coffee said softly, "Why did you use such an emergency method to contact me?"

"I ran into Ms. Yuko while I was having lunch just now, and she mentioned you."

"Miss Yuuko... Oh! It seems you've met Shiraha?"

"Yes, although it wasn't many times, I've met him twice. So the Bai Yu in the information you gave me really is him. Did you know they're going on a trip this summer?"

Vermouth on the other end of the phone paused for a moment before shaking her head and saying, "I don't know. Summer vacation is usually more than a month... Why don't you take some time to go to the store and ask them about the routes?"

"Hmm? You're changing your plans again?"

"No, we need to balance work and rest. Everyone should take a summer vacation, but not more than a month."

"understood."

Mie Ishida didn't feel guilty at all; she was just going out for a meal and a chat. She had plenty of ways to find out their travel route, and she could do it flawlessly.

While Yuuko Ichihara and Kaimu Kitagawa were eating and chatting, Shiraha and Yumiko were also waiting for their lunch at another restaurant.

Yumiko, resting her chin on her hands, laughed and said, "Hey, do you think it would be a headache to wear a ring if you got married someday?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense, so I can just make a run for it."

Yumiko paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Get lost! Let me tell you, if you dare to run away on our wedding day, nobody else will know, but Kirari will definitely speed off to catch you! Eh? Why does this feel a little scary..."

"You're thinking quite far ahead. By the way, Yumiko, if nothing unexpected happens, Shusuke and the others must be training harder and harder lately."
