People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Chapter 405 Erina's Battle of Wits and Courage, Mine's Mission (Please Subscribe~)

When Kobayashi Rindou learned during dinner that Kikuchi Sonoka's application had been approved, he almost jumped for joy. He sent Kikuchi Sonoka a message without even finishing his meal, but she didn't reply. He guessed she was still half asleep.

Kraki said irritably, "Why are you so agitated?"

"Of course, it's really tough for Kikuchi-senpai. She finally opened a shop, and then Shinomiya-senpai came over. She's so unlucky. But with this recommendation, things should get a lot better."

Nami, holding her bowl, said疑惑地, "Wait a minute, if that's the case, then Chef Shinomiya should have applied for a recommendation too. This is just a branch; with the main store continuing to make money, he shouldn't be short of application fees, especially since his skills aren't weak..."

Dikla waved her hand and said, "Chef Shinomiya wants to be rated directly with stars, which is different from Sonoka's request for a recommendation. Star ratings require a separate recommendation, while the recommendation you apply for is just a regular recommendation."

Griffia couldn't help but exclaim, "WGO really is a huge money-making machine..."

Managi Nakiri thought for a moment and said, "It's not exactly a money-making machine, but it's certainly very profitable... Erina, how about you take over from your aunt in the future?"

Erina narrowed her eyes and said, "I have a feeling that you have ulterior motives, Auntie."

"How could that be? You have the Tongue of God, and you've been taught and honed by Bai Yu. The key point is that you're my niece. It makes perfect sense."

"Hmm... I still feel something's not right... I'm not inheriting... Auntie, you're far from retirement..."

Managi Nakiri's eyes twitched. When did this unlucky kid become so smart? Managi Nakiri said softly, "But sooner or later you will have to choose between the Supreme Commander of Totsuki Academy and WGO, and maybe both."

Erina raised an eyebrow and said, "Grandpa Totsuki is still in good health, so I don't need to worry about him for the time being."

Nakiri Managi said softly, "Erina, you really think things through very clearly."

"Of course, and I have another question..."

"what?"

After Erina whispered something in Nakiri Managi's ear, Nakiri Managi blushed and said, "Why don't I usually see you react so quickly?"

"I was trained by you, Auntie."

"Forehead...."

Suddenly, both Nakiri Managi and Erina turned to look at Alice, who was eating and watching the scene unfold. Alice's expression froze for a moment before she quickly said, "Dad is still young! Nakiri International is not for me!"

"Sizzle..." x2

Lucifer rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, alright, you two are really going too far... Hey, Gentian, what pattern are you two looking for this time?"

"Uh...no, no, let's go out for a walk."

Pandemonica said softly, "You can rest assured, we're looking forward to a surprise right now, so no one will be with you. Also... Hai Meng, are you going too?"

Kitagawa Kaimu's eyes twitched as she said, "Um... how did you guys know...?"

"It's nothing, I just asked, I didn't expect it to be true. It seems you really do know what it is..."

Kitagawa Kaimu was dumbfounded. Was this some kind of routine? However, Kitagawa Kaimu still coughed lightly and said, "I didn't have to go to the fashion department's outfit discussion today, so I just wanted to go out for a walk. That's all."

Lucifer and the others smiled but didn't say anything. Kitagawa Kaimu also knew very well that these older sisters really knew that he was going to go see the patterns with Kobayashi Rindou and the others.

Bai Yu glanced at his phone before saying softly, "Looks like we're about to enter the real Metropolitan Tournament..."

Lucifer was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Huh? The real Grand Assembly? What do you mean?"

Kasugano Sora looked at her phone and said, "Oh, I see. It means that all the schools that were just there to make up the numbers have been eliminated, so the upcoming Metropolitan Tournament should be a more interesting competition."

Riven paused for a moment and said, "Some...?"

"That's right, because we haven't encountered any of the top teams in the country yet. For example, Rikkai hasn't appeared yet, and neither has Shitenhoji. To be honest, it seems that Shitenhoji has an extra first-year student, right, Shiraha-nii?"

"Yeah, that's true... Besides that, Higa Middle School seems pretty interesting too. Overall... it gets really interesting around the National Tournament..."

Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "The National Tournament... If we can't see it, Haimeng, could you record it for us?"

"no problem!"

Lucifer suddenly remembered something, chuckled, and said softly, "Hey, Shiraha, I remember you defeated that kid named Echizen Ryoma at Seigaku, right? You didn't suffer any psychological trauma, did you?"

"No, he's not that fragile."

Kasugano Sora whispered, "But his racket is fragile... I heard from Shusuke that you, Shiraha-nii, broke his racket..."

Kitagawa Kaimu expressed her shock again, but seeing how calm they all seemed, she calmed down and started eating her meal properly.

When everyone went about their own business, Bai Yu also carried his bag and went to the train station. As for where he was going, it was naturally the Rikkai University training ground.

However, the main reason was to check on Yukimura Seiichi. At this point in time, Shiraha was eager to see what Rikkai would do.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the night raid, everyone was engaged in their own training, but two people stood out from the others: Mine and Najenda.

Najenda looked at Mine, who was wearing a brand-new dress and had exquisite makeup, and nodded, saying, "Hmm, very good, Mine. You only need to do three things tonight."

"what?"

"The first thing is not to express your stance. Try not to talk and just eat. But if someone asks you a question, you know what it means to give an irrelevant answer."

"know."

"The second thing is, if someone talks to you, try to talk to that mysterious man. I will help you. Our goal is to find out who her husband is and what his abilities are, but the most important thing is his thoughts, because it can be seen that Esdeath listens to him a lot."

"Ok!"

"One last thing... Mine, no matter what you hear or see, don't get agitated. Stay calm, understand? Do you know what I mean?"

Mine gritted her teeth, then clenched her fist and whispered, "Yes!"

Chapter 406 Najenda's Reflections, Kobayashi Rindou and the Others' Selection (Please Subscribe~)

Mine naturally knew what Najendan meant, because Najendan had told her about some of the evidence she had found recently.

Besides these, there are also Akame, Lubbock, and Chelsea, but Brand and Hill were not mentioned because Brand's personality would definitely not allow it, even though he had some premonition.

As for Hill, needless to say, she's naturally clueless. If she could figure it out, the war would probably be over by then. So Najenda didn't say anything either. Mine knew very well that Esdeath was going to give them direct evidence this time, and this evidence was definitely not something trivial.

Najenda smiled at Mine, who had suddenly fallen silent, and said, "Mine, there's no need to be so serious. The night raid is to change this corrupt empire and make life better for the people, but you should be well aware of one thing..."

Mine nodded and said, "I understand... Boss, you mean... our goal is just this, we're not politicians, so... we only need to achieve our goal and don't care who the new ruler of the empire is... right?"

Najendan nodded and said, "That's right. As long as it makes the people's lives better, I have no objection to whoever becomes emperor. After all... we are also one of the people..."

Mine nodded and said, "I understand... Boss, where should we go now?"

"You don't need to train today. Just make sure you're in good physical condition. Go for a walk and relax. Don't feel guilty, it's okay."

"Yes!"

After Mine left, Najenda, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, looked at the horizon and said softly, "This isn't a simple matter... Esdeath... you've got some nerve..."

Everyone here is like watching a fire through a veil, able to see a little bit of everything and guess a little bit of everything, but no one speaks, no one dares to speak, or rather, it's not the time to pierce this veil. Everyone is waiting for the first person to pierce it, waiting for the fire to ignite this veil.

While everyone on this side remained inactive, Kitagawa Kaimu and the others arrived at a super luxurious jewelry store.

"Sister Longdan! Isn't this the world's largest jewelry store?"

Kobayashi Rindou nodded and said, "That's right, it's that shop. Let's go, I'll ask the owner to bring me the newest, the most classic, and a few other designs."

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded repeatedly. As she walked in, she was immediately struck by a sense of luxury. You see, the goods in this room were enough for one person to live a life of luxury.

The branch manager was a foreigner who wore a suit and looked like a traditional British gentleman. His subtle air of nobility was clearly not something that could be cultivated in a short period of time.

The store manager was quite old, wearing a monocle and several rings. He was chatting with a few employees when Kobayashi Rindou waved and said, "Manager Clarence!"

Upon hearing this voice, the shop manager turned around and said with a smile, "Oh! My esteemed guests, welcome! Is this beautiful lady your sister? You are both so beautiful."

Kitagawa Kaimu blushed, while Kobayashi Rindou smiled and said, "No, no, she's just our friend, she lives with us. Manager Clarence, where's the pattern? Did you bring it?"

"Of course! This is quite a deal, so we need to finish it as soon as possible. Come with me, Miss Winnie, give me that picture book, thank you."

"Of course, here you go."

Clarence gestured for them to follow, and Kobayashi Rindou and the others went over. After they reached the counter, Clarence smiled and said, "These are some of the most classic and newest styles. To be honest, there are two that I would recommend."

"Really? Which two?"

"First, there's this, a Möbius strip-like design. Then, on both sides are the ivy from Dionysus's scepter, symbolizing joy. Come on, look at this, yes, this one... See this fixing groove? That's Cupid's golden arrows, four golden arrows to hold it in place."

"Then look at this. This is the most beautiful design in my opinion. Nobody knows what they were thinking. This ring, I believe you have noticed it. It is an eight-pointed star. As you know, the eight-pointed star represents the eight most beautiful wishes for love. Look here, this center is the core, and there will be a rose symbol."

Kobayashi Rindou thought for a moment and said, "It's quite powerful, but it has a very mythical feel to it."

"Miss Kobayashi, mythology itself is a work full of romanticism. Come, let's look at the second one... This one no longer has the feel of mythology, but uses a lot of luxury and intricate carving techniques. Besides that..."

More than half an hour later, Kobayashi Rindou looked at Alice and the others. Alice thought for a moment and said, "I think the first, fifth and seventh ones are good."

Erina narrowed her eyes and said, "Hmm, but I think the sixth and eleventh are also good."

After asking for some feedback, Kobayashi Rindou sent out a floor plan and then said with a smile, "Manager Clarence, if all goes well, I can give you an update in the next day or two."

"That's really exciting. It's been a long time since we've had such a big client."

"I think it's okay."

"Although they are silver products, the diamonds or gemstones on them are carefully selected. They are not particularly expensive, and customers usually buy them, but the quantity is limited. Fortunately, there are some finished products, and they do not take too long to make."

Kobayashi Rindou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll send them their nail sizes along with the final numbers. Manager Clarence, are the prices all the same?"

"It's different because some have more diamonds or gemstones, and some have more complex craftsmanship. But since you ordered a large quantity, you're paying the same price for all of them, and your deposit is sufficient."

"Okay! That's settled then, Manager Clarence, see you in a while!"

"welcome any time!"

Chapter 407 Yukimura's Passionate Moment, The World's Match (Please Subscribe~)

When the group came out, Kitagawa Kaimu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Rindou-nee, you guys are serious... But are Lucy-nee and the others really not going to tell us?"

"No need, no need, it'll be no fun telling them. Hey, it's getting early, what should we do now... Hmm... Hey? How about we go to the amusement park? I haven't been there in ages."

"Mmmmmm!" x5

Putting aside Kitagawa Kaimu, Erina has never been to an amusement park, so she definitely wants to go at least once. Alice, who loves to have fun, goes without saying.

At this moment, in a hospital, a blue-haired boy was leisurely reading a book, nodding occasionally. Just as he was engrossed in reading, someone walked in.

The blue-haired boy was taken aback for a moment, then said with a surprised look, "Brother Baiyu?! What brings you here?"

"I had some free time today, so I came to see you. How are you doing?"

"Still the same...but it's much better now...I feel like I can make it to the national tournament."

The boy was none other than Yukimura Seiichi. Shiraha nodded and said, "Hmm, it seems you understand quite well. Take good care of yourself and get well soon. This competition is going to be very interesting."

Yukimura Seiichi paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Hmm? Why do you say that? Are there any particularly strong schools this year?"

"Well... you guys should be careful of Seigaku. They might just snatch the championship away from Kunimitsu and his team."

Yukimura Seiichi chuckled and said, "That's really impressive. Was it when he was there, or when he wasn't?"

"Yes, but you most likely won't face him."

Yukimura Seiichi paused for a moment before asking in confusion, "Hmm? Is that so? Who is that? Could it be Fuji?"

"No, Seigaku has acquired a pretty good star player... By the way, he's a first-year student."

"A first-year student? Oh... you mean Echizen Ryoma, right? I heard it from Renji. To be honest, his surname reminds me of someone."

Bai Yu smiled and said gently, "That's right, it's him, the samurai, Echizen Nanjiro. His kid has great talent, and you can tell he's growing very fast. Before the national tournament, I wonder how many people's strengths he'll learn from."

Yukimura Seiichi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand. So, does that mean I'll likely face him?"

"Pretty much. After all, Guoguang intends to train him properly, so you should still be careful. Did you like the gift I brought you?"

Yukimura Seiichi nodded and said, "I really like it. Some of the paintings are by very famous painters, but there are also some by very obscure painters, and even some by painters whose names I can't find, but they are still very beautiful. Thank you, Shiraha-nii."

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "Qian Dong brought this for you. She knows you like picture books or poetry collections like this."

"Chifuyu-nee... thank you so much... but Shiraha-nii, Sanada said... you came to watch Rikkai's match a while ago?"

"Yes, everyone has improved. You also have a new teammate, I think her name is..."

"Kirihara?"

"Yes, it's him. Something seems off about him."

Yukimura Seiichi sighed and said, "That's right. If Kirihara gets angry while playing tennis, he becomes like a demon, turning into pure violent tennis, which is why Sanada and the others have a lot of headaches."
