People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Erina thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. But someone came to deliver something last night, but Totsuki is very strict. It was too late, so they didn't let them in. The things were left with the security guard, and I asked Hisako to get them."

Alice scratched her head and said, "Huh? Is that so? Well, that's fine too... By the way, Erina, what kind of exam is it today? Is it Professor Shapper's exam?"

"No, today's topic is economics and nutrition."

Alice rolled her eyes and said, "Erina, I'm a master of molecular gastronomy. Don't you know I've always gotten perfect scores in both of those subjects?"

"But the exam venue is far away today."

"Is that so? How come I don't know anything about this?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Hurry up and wash up, then you can go take the exam after dinner!"

"Hey? You're not going?"

Erina said irritably, "Can I not go?! But we're not in the same exam room. Can you at least check the exam notice? I'm so fed up with you..."

"Erina! How can you talk to your cousin like that!"

"Tch... Go out and ask around, see who believes you're the older sister?"

"I call this childlike innocence!"

"You still have a childlike heart, you... um? Hisako, you're back? What did Alice buy?"

"I didn't buy it!"

Hisako shook her head and said, "It wasn't Miss Alice who bought it. Shopkeeper Shiraha had it delivered to us for the three of us..."

Erina and Alice were both taken aback for a moment, then they went over to them. A few minutes later, the three little girls were all blushing, but they were smiling happily.

Alice laughed and said, "Erina! Did you see that? I told you I have a childlike heart! Did you see that? A Children's Day present!"

"Alice, children and fools are not the same, so don't confuse them."

"Huh?! You idiot Erina! Are you going to start a fight?!"

"I'm in a good mood, I don't have time to argue with you, go wash up!"

"Humph!"

Alice didn't care and hummed a song as she went to wash up, while Erina smiled and said, "I will absolutely not lose! The first seat of the Elite Ten will definitely be mine!"

"Hmm? Hisako, what's wrong?"

“No…it’s okay!”

"Eh? Hisako, it seems you've got some..."

"Miss Erina! I'll go check if the food is ready!"

Chapter 471 Bai Yu's Insights, Laura's Memories (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Bai Yu was quite relaxed, so he just sat to the side watching the movie, while Ichihara Yuuko and Kobayashi Rindou, among other idle people, gathered around and watched quietly.

"Nami, you didn't go to the kitchen today."

"It's still early, no rush. I'm more curious about who this murderer is."

Gurefia said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, the murderer should be the one who speaks with a heavy accent."

"Hmm..." xn

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that the murderer is that doctor?"

Gurefia was stunned for a moment and said, "That's impossible. He's hardly ever shown up, and he seems quite natural."

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "You must have your own reasoning for this guess."

Bai Yu said gently, "According to the traditional formula of film and television, the comedic characters who appear around the protagonist are actually the ones who know the most and are very useful at crucial moments, while the characters who appear around the female protagonist..."

"Either he doesn't have many lines or much plot, which makes him a minor character, but it's obvious that he has a good relationship with the female lead, meaning he has a role. A male character with a role and a relationship with the female lead, and the key point is that he's not on the same side as the main characters, and some members of the main characters even like the female lead."

Nami thought for a moment and said, "So what do you mean?"

"So, this male character has to die. In a detective drama like this, with only one murderer, a group of victims, a group of extras, and the main characters, who do you think has a significant role should die?"

Griffia and the others nodded in realization. Ichihara Yuuko thought for a moment and said, "It seems that's really the case... Is this considered a murder mystery game?"

"It's not quite like that. It should be said that... Think about it, if the screenwriter didn't arrange it this way, the audience would start criticizing if they didn't understand it, and if they did understand it, they would say that the audience has no taste. If it's just right... the screenwriter would also have a headache."

Yuuko Ichihara and the others nodded without saying a word. After a long while, Grayfia said with some surprise, "The murderer really is that doctor?!"

"Pretty much... Looking at things from God's perspective reveals a lot of interesting things. As for that guy with the heavy accent you mentioned earlier, he definitely has more than just that role... After all, one comedic character is enough from beginning to end, and he definitely has more to offer."

"Huh? Really? There really is one!"

Ten minutes later, Gurefia and the others looked at Bai Yu with admiration. Goodness, Bai Yu had learned all the tricks of screenwriters and directors. How many movies must he have watched to figure this out?

Yuuko Ichihara looked around and, noticing that Managi Nakiri and the others weren't there, coughed lightly and said, "Hey, Shiraha, do you think it's possible that a character from one of the movies we watched might actually come to the store?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Sadako?"

"That's enough!"

Gurefia asked in confusion, "Sadako? What Sadako?"

"Are you interested in Gurefia?"

Seeing Bai Yu's calm expression and the way Ichihara Yuko and the others were quietly shaking their heads, Grayfia said softly, "I think we should forget about it... But Azazel still hasn't come. It seems the war in the Underworld isn't over yet."

Albedo said softly, "Why make it so complicated? Just go over there and kill them all. You can leave the Lucifer family alone."

Glefia sighed and said, "The Demon King's main family must be preserved, that's for sure. Besides... I don't want to fight anymore..."

Albedo, propping her chin on her hand, said, "So you demons really don't seem like demons at all."

Medici paused for a moment, scratched his head, and said, "Hmm? What does a demon look like?"

"At the very least, demons are belligerent and bloodthirsty."

"Huh? Is that so? Bai Yu, what kind of demon do you think of? I mean, not counting us."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Not counting you guys, the demon in my eyes should be... weird-looking, very chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), I don't know how strong it is, and it's always chatting with other people, each of them having some kind of tragic backstory."

Medici said blankly, "Why do I have this feeling...? The Judge just likes to physically assault people..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"oh....."

Bai Yu didn't say anything, while at the IS Academy on the other side, Laura still hadn't fully recovered. Her mind was filled with the conversation between Orimura Chifuyu and her. She didn't wake up until almost midnight, her mind filled with the scene of her being almost instantly killed.

"woke up?"

"Instructor!"

Chifuyu Orimura tapped Laura's head irritably and said, "Speaking of Orimura-sensei! I've told you so many times and you still can't remember. I'm really fed up with you."

"Ms. Orimura... what happened to me yesterday?"

Chifuyu Orimura said softly, "To put it simply... you activated the VT system yesterday, so you should know what it is, right?"

Laura said with some surprise, "This...I..."

"But don't worry, I've checked, you're just exhausted. Just rest and recover. Tomorrow... it's already midnight, so you don't need to go to class this morning."

"Yes... how did I escape danger yesterday?"

To put it simply, Bai Yu cleaved the VT system in two with a single chop, and that saved you. It's that simple.

"Hand...hand knife?!"

Chifuyu Orimura chuckled and said, "Don't feel like there's anything unacceptable about it. It's easy for Shiraha, and you should know one thing very well: I'm no match for Shiraha."

Laura said with a somewhat complicated expression, "So, Professor Orimura, you're not coming back to the army with me?"

Chifuyu Orimura breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Laffa, I've made myself very clear. I will not go back to the military. I may continue to be a teacher, but going back to the military is absolutely impossible."

"Just because of him?"

"Correct!"

"He doesn't agree?"

"No, it's my own unwillingness."

"Ok?"

Chapter 472 Laura's conversation with Chifuyu, Chifuyu's advice (Please subscribe~)

Laura was stunned, staring blankly at Chifuyu Orimura. Chifuyu Orimura looked out the window and sighed, saying, "Laura, you should know that I've always been alone."

“I know very well, which is why I was so surprised to hear that you have a fiancé, instructor.”

Chifuyu Orimura breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you surprised? Why are you surprised? Because I have a fiancé? Laura, let me be sure to say this: no matter how good my driving skills are, how strong my combat power is, or how good my knowledge is, don't forget one thing."

"what?"

"I am also a woman, a normal woman. Getting married and having children is a normal thing for a normal woman. Whether I'm dating or getting married, it's a normal thought for a woman."

"this...."

“I’m not heartless either. I can be moved and I can have people I like. But it’s too early for you to know, and you’ve been training all this time, so you’re not really aware of it.”

Laura asked in confusion, "Clear? Clear about what?"

“You’ve always been training with teammates around you, while I’ve always been alone. That’s why I’m especially aware of the preciousness of family, love, and kinship. This is my bottom line, my absolute bottom line.”

"family...."

"That's right, it's family... The feeling of being alone is painful and lonely. You've gotten used to these things, but you only realize how lonely you were before when you have your own family."

After thinking for a while, Laura sighed and said, "I think I know, but Instructor, is your drastic change also because of him?"

Chifuyu Orimura paused for a moment and said, "Have I changed that much?"

"Hmm, Instructor, you're much gentler than before..."

Chifuyu Orimura said softly, "I guess this is what they mean by... spending a lot of time together makes you more and more like your other half. Being with a gentle person will naturally change you in subtle ways."

"Is that so? Instructor, you seem quite pleased?"

"I should say it's a feeling of anticipation and happiness..."

"I don't really understand... But what does this have to do with you not returning to the army, Instructor? What's the difference between the IS Academy and the army?"

Chifuyu Orimura sighed and said, "There are many things to consider. First of all, I don't want to stay in the military anymore. I prefer the peaceful life in IS, and I don't want to disrupt that peace."

"Secondly, I feel more at home here. Furthermore, compared to the military, the IS Academy offers more freedom. I don't want to sacrifice spending a lot of time with my family because of work. In the future, when I have children, I don't want them to not recognize me when I come home because I've been away for a long time."

"In the end... I prefer being a teacher to being an instructor in the military, so I won't be going back to the military. You should give up on that idea."

Laura sighed and said, "Okay, I understand, Instructor..."

"what do you want to say?"

"Instructor, you seem to be on good terms with Houki Shinonono? I saw the three of you having lunch with a white-haired girl earlier."

Chifuyu Orimura nodded and said, "That's right, Houki is also like my little sister."

"Ok?"

"Because her sister and I are sisters, we used to be good friends, and now we're like sisters..."

Laura paused for a moment, then said, "If I remember correctly, Shinonono Houki's older sister is Dr. Shinonono Tsukasa. I can understand being friends, but this sister is..."

"We have the same fiancé."

"what?!"

Chifuyu Orimura smiled and said, "You seem surprised, but that's how it is. And it's not just the two of us, though you haven't seen any of them before."

Laura stared blankly and said, "Who exactly is he...?"

"Him? If he were here, he would definitely say something to you."

"what?"

"He's just a restaurant manager, that's all. But that's true, he is indeed a restaurant manager, but sometimes it feels like he can do everything and is very capable."
