People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Anyway, it's just to prepare things for the trip. We'll be traveling together tomorrow, so it's fine to tell them."

"But... I feel like she'll be very noisy."

"It's quite lively here. Summer vacation doesn't have to be so lifeless. Kirari and the others don't seem to have a quiet life either..."

"I understand...it was my oversight. In that case, what about dinner later..."

"There aren't any tables that can only seat two people, are there...?"

Ahua nodded and didn't say anything. Not long after, a petite girl wearing a cartoon jacket ran over. Perhaps because it was almost night and the summer heat had subsided, Huang Quanyue Luna felt that she had regained a lot of energy.

"Ririka! You're finally back!"

Huang Quanyue Luna ran over and shouted those words. Lilya was stunned for a moment behind her mask, but still said softly, "Luna, why did you come here?"

"You're here to buy something? I thought you were still at school and wanted to ask you to come with me, but I didn't expect you to be here already. What a coincidence!"

"We're here to prepare too. We're going to eat at the Fog House later. Do you want to come?"

"Go away! Lily is still the best!"

Lily blushed under her mask and turned her head away, saying, "Um... Ahua, where should we go to give a gift to a child?"

"This... I'm sorry, Vice President, I don't know either..."

Huang Quanyue Luna was taken aback and said, "A gift for a child? Does that mean the guild leader has a baby?"

"No, it's Kaguya's sister and Orange and the others. They're all children. If it were Kirari and the others, we wouldn't need to prepare any gifts, but it's still good to prepare some gifts for children. Also, Aunt Leonora just left, and there are no parents around, so we don't need to send any gifts."

Huang Quanyue Luna thought for a moment and said, "A gift for a child? Hmm... I should know where I can buy one."

Ahua said in a deep voice, "Don't think it's that simple. Although Kaguya and Orange are children, their upbringing and environment mean they won't like ordinary toys and snacks, especially food. Master Shiraha is the best chef, and there are also the WGO executives..."

Lily nodded. Although it was a very direct statement, it was fine. Even though Kaguya and the others were young, they wouldn't show much surprise at ordinary toys and snacks after being raised for so long.

Huang Quanyue Luna tilted her head and said, "I never said it was just ordinary toys and snacks. Please, it's not like we're visiting relatives and giving gifts to their children."

"Hmm? What do you need to prepare?"

"Come with me. You're lucky you met me today. Leave it to me, no problem."

"Huh?" x2

The two exchanged a puzzled look, but still followed Huang Quanyue Luna forward. It was clear that Huang Quanyue Luna also knew the reason. Since that was the case, she had no reason to use ordinary people's thinking to think about what to give.

"This...this...Luna, are you sure?"

"Of course! It's not ordinary; it's not a snack, not a toy. Isn't this a suitable gift?"

Ahua and Lilixiang stared blankly at the shop before them, nodding in surprise. At that moment, they seemed to understand why Huangquanyue Luna had been recruited by Qiluoli.

Chapter 647 Minami Hikaru's Hopes, Minami Kotori's Worries (Please Subscribe~)

Summer vacation should be a happy time for most people, especially students. However, in a villa, a young girl seemed rather sullen.

"Little bird, Mommy has to go out for a while and may not be back for dinner. I'm sorry."

"Mother...."

"what happened?"

"Mom... what happened to Otonokizaka?"

The woman paused for a moment upon hearing this before smiling and saying, "It's nothing. If I had to say... there might be some changes in Otonokizaka46, but it's alright, don't overthink it."

Before Minami Kotori could say anything more, she saw that Minami Hiyori had already left. Minami Kotori sat on the sofa, hugging her knees. She felt something was wrong. If it were during school, it would be fine.

During the summer vacation, since there were no classes, Minami Kotori often saw that Minami Hiyori was obviously very busy, receiving all kinds of phone calls, from official sources, local sources, partners, schools, and so on.

While it's normal for a chairperson to be so busy, Minami Kotori clearly sensed something was wrong. She had a feeling that something was going to happen to Otonokizaka, otherwise Minami Hiwako wouldn't be so busy and would be receiving so many calls from various levels.

"Should I tell Guoguo or not...?"

Minami Kotori wanted to tell Sonoda Umi and Kousaka Honoka, but... considering their personalities, she hesitated. If something really happened, it would be fine with Sonoda Umi, but what would happen to Kousaka Honoka?

After a moment of silence, Minami Kotori saw Elena walk over and say, "Kotori, don't think too much. Aunt Hiyoriko is the chairperson, she'll definitely be very busy."

"Elena... I really feel so strange, but I don't know if I should tell Guoguo and the others..."

"Since you're hesitant, let's not say anything then. Hmm? How about contacting Little Garuda? Mr. Baiyu and the others are here too, they'll definitely think of something! After all, Sister Lucy and the others are so smart!"

"Oh right! How could I forget about that! Senior Garuda should be in the daytime right now, hmm! I'll send a message to check if she has time!"

"it is good!"

Just as Minami Kotori and Elena Robinson were contacting Garuda, Minami Hiyori was also driving quietly, waiting for her phone to make a sound.

"Soryuin-san... I really hope you can save Otonokizaka... I've already submitted the proposal, please..."

On the other side, Shion Kanade, who was shopping, paused for a moment, took out her phone, glanced at it, and said, "Huh? Why is she calling me?"

Who is it?

"Nanri Kazuko".

Yuuko Ichihara scratched her head and said, "This name... no, this surname..."

"That's right, she's Kotori's mother and the chairperson of Otonokizaka46. I don't know why she's calling me now... Yuuko, could you guys get me a paper bag?"

"Oh..."

Although they usually like to cause trouble, they are very reliable when it comes to serious matters. Obviously, the merger of Sakura and Otonokizaka is a big deal. It's not just about money and monopoly; it also determines the direction of public opinion and affects the mental health of many faculty and students.

"Hello, Chairman Nan, happy summer vacation. It's been a long time. Why did you suddenly call me?"

Hearing Soryuin Shion's voice, Minami Hiwako breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's so good to hear your voice, Ms. Soryuin. I'd like to confirm again, is it true that you wanted to merge schools as you said before?"

"Of course, and you can probably figure it out yourself, right? Merging schools would be very beneficial for me. Didn't I already send you the first draft? We can discuss the specifics, the revisions, and the details in person after the summer vacation."

Minami Kazuko said softly, "I know, Ms. Soryuin. According to our plan, I compiled several drafts, held a meeting the day before yesterday, and sent a first draft to the board of directors and higher authorities. The current situation..."

Soryuin Shion breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there must have been a disagreement."

"That's right, the disagreement stems mainly from three things..."

"The treatment of faculty and students, the etiquette of the board of directors, and staffing, right...?"

"Yes, it seems you've already thought of that."

“That’s right. After all, it’s a national school, so it’s normal to have such disagreements. I’m still drafting a specific plan, but these issues will be resolved. You just need to state my current stance. I’ll discuss the details in person when we get back.”

"Okay, but the good news is that the majority, both from above and the board of directors, agree."

Sōryūin Shion said with a hint of amusement, "That gives us room to intervene. Chairman Minami, don't worry, I'm confident I can win this."

"Alright, then have a nice summer vacation, Ms. Kanadein. By the way... happy engagement."

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Shion Kanade sighed and said, "Being rigid isn't scary, and being a vampire isn't scary either, but having these two together is really a headache..."

Baphomet waved his hand and said, "It's nothing more than a matter of status and initial intentions, Ziyin. What do you plan to do?"

"Well... I already have a few plans in mind. I'll just throw them out to them and let them choose. I'm confident that once I start taking action, I'll be able to secure the deal!"

Lucifer nodded and said, "That's true, but... don't get so busy working overtime that you forget about the holiday."

"That's unlikely. Maybe we can reach an agreement before Christmas or New Year's. As long as it's perfect enough, we won't have anything to say."

Nakiri Managi tilted her head and said, "How about your family puts some pressure on you? Sometimes the words of conglomerates are more effective than those of politicians. Our family's power is enough. Besides, people have been contacting Father since the WGO was first established."

"We'll see. I'm not so dependent on my family. If I really can't solve this, then Huangying won't be one of the top companies in the Kengan Association."

"Hmm...Eh? Garuda, what's wrong?"

"It's...it's a message from the little bird!"

"Huh?" xn

Chapter 648 Bai Yu's Guidance, Minami Kotori Understands (Please Subscribe~)

Kobayashi Rindou and the others were all surprised. What a coincidence! Minami Hiwako made a phone call, and Minami Kotori followed up with a message right after. Is it really that amazing?

"Little bird? What did the little bird say...?"

Garuda sighed and said, "It's probably about this. She's probably figured something out. Sigh... I have a headache. I wonder how things will develop... Sister Ziyin, should we reply to the message?"

"Go back. You can't hide from her forever. It's fine if you haven't seen her yet, but you can't keep hiding from her forever. Besides, the more you hide, the more she'll sense that something's wrong."

"Okay... if I don't tell her, this girl probably won't be able to sleep well..."

Garuda immediately called Minami Kotori, and the call was answered instantly, indicating that she had been watching the phone the whole time. Before Garuda could speak, Minami Kotori hurriedly said, "Garuda-senpai!"

"Um... Little bird, don't worry, tell me slowly, it's okay..."

Minami Kotori breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Garuda-senpai! Do you know what happened to Otonokizaka?"

Minami Kotori is a somewhat cunning but very well-behaved child. Now that she's asked this question so directly, Lucifer and the others' eyes twitched. It seems she really sensed something.

Garuda coughed lightly and said, "Little bird, why do you say that? Isn't school on summer vacation? Is something wrong?"

Elena sighed and said, "Little Garuda... Aunt Nan seemed a bit too busy lately, and she's been acting strangely. Even people from above have been calling. So... Little Garuda, do you know what's wrong? The little bird seems very worried..."

Garuda was a very simple person and didn't know what to say for a moment. Erina and the others also seemed helpless, while Baphomet and the others exchanged glances as if they were talking about answering a phone call.

For these business queens, fooling a young girl is a piece of cake, but the problem is, their methods are definitely different.

Just then, a hand took the phone directly. Garuda and the others were stunned and looked at Bai Yu in surprise. Good heavens! Their husband took the initiative! This is enough to set an anniversary!

Bai Yu said gently, "Little Bird, you don't need to think so much. If it were your mother who had a problem, we wouldn't be calling her but visiting her in person. It's more likely if it's a problem at school."

"Manager Shiraha!"

"Don't rush. Think about it carefully. If the school had a major, irreversible problem, they would definitely have informed the students. There's no need to hide it from them. Besides, Otonokizaka is a national school. If there were an irreversible problem, they wouldn't be so calm, would they?"

Minami Kotori and Elena were both taken aback; it seemed to make perfect sense...

Kotori Minami tentatively asked, "So, Manager Shiraha, Mom mentioned before that there might be some changes at school... Are you sure there won't be any problems?"

"If you're thinking about problems, then you'll inevitably feel that problems are going to occur. But why can't you think about things in a more positive light?"

"A little better? What do you mean? Mom seems so busy every day..."

"Could the changes mean more new construction at the school? Could it be increased investment from above? Could it be collaborations with other schools or state-owned enterprises? Or the launch of new teaching programs? These are not minor adjustments, are they?"

Minami Kotori paused for a moment, then said, "It seems...it seems to make a lot of sense..."

Bai Yu curled his lips slightly and said softly, "Then, the most crucial question is, did your mother look worried or helpless?"

"Hmm...it seems not..."

"So why can't it be a good thing?"

Lucifer and the others silently gave a thumbs up. Goodness, it really is you! You managed to piece together clues from the smallest details and completely fooled Minami Kotori. But what Shiraha said was absolutely right, especially for Otonokizaka—it really was true...

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally... little bird."

"Well?"

"The school didn't notify Otonokizaka of her withdrawal from the quiz competition, did they...?"

"Eh?! That's right! Thank you, Manager Shiraha! Maybe I was just overthinking it..."

"Little bird, I told you you were overthinking it, Manager Shiraha, thank you!"

Bai Yu chuckled softly, "Elena is still very reliable. Don't think too much during summer vacation, just relax and enjoy yourself. Consider it relaxation before welcoming a surprise. Have a great summer vacation..."

"Hmm! Have a nice summer vacation, Manager Shiraha! Wait..."

Happy engagement! x2

"Because of that, you can get a discount next time you come to eat here."

"Pfft..." xn

Bai Yu was like a King facing off against two Iron-ranked opponents, which made Harley Quinn and the others exclaim that Bai Yu's psychology was a bit scary.

"So, that's all there is to it."

"As expected of you..."
