People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"But it really is great. Sometimes I'm actually envious of my husband... I wonder how Lily is doing now. I wonder what that girl is up to..."

Riven paused for a moment and said, "Isn't this a confession?"

"It is indeed a confession, but the key is how to confess, where to confess, and what to say. If Lily was just a timid and introverted girl, it would be easy to explain, but the problem is that she also has a strong and stubborn side that refuses to admit defeat."

"That makes sense... We can't go see it though... Sigh..."

It wasn't just Yuuko Ichihara and the others who were discussing this; Managi Nakiri and the others, who were washing dishes and preparing ingredients, were also talking about it. Alice had already slipped away to the restaurant; she had no reason to make a phone call to Leonora.

"Alice, Alice, did you see Lilyka when you came here?"

Alice shook her head and said, "I did see them, but I don't know what they were talking about. They were at the bow of the ship, and... it seemed like Sister Yonglin was chatting with Sister Farmer."

"Falme... sigh... how come that girl is so lucky... oh well, never mind, it has nothing to do with me anyway. We've finally gotten to this point, and I feel like I'm one step closer to a perfect life."

Fiona chuckled and said, "Indeed, I'm really curious about what my child will be like. Sigh, let's not talk about that now, it's still early. Is there anything special about the ingredients that needs to be prepared? If not, just sit and wait a while."

"Okay!" xn

Meanwhile, on the other side of the bow, Bai Yu, while tending to the fishing rods, said with a smile, "This time we've been to all the places we wanted to go. Lily, you have a good eye today. If you feel it's too sunny, you can go back. A few fishing rods won't be a problem."

Lily pursed her lips before softly asking, "Shiraha... will your shop stay open forever?"

"meeting."

"Won't you reconsider?"

"Because there will always be people who come with stories, traveling day and night; there will always be people who push open that door; there will always be people who yearn for a place to rest. It's not that I will keep it open forever, but... life, destiny, and fate constitute that door."

Lily thought for a moment and said, "There will be many interesting stories..."

"Yes, after all, no two leaves are the same, and no two lives are exactly the same. That's the joy of life."

"Then... Shiraha, in your life, in your collection of stories, there must be stories about Yuuko and the others, right?"

"nature."

"Do you have mine?"

Bai Yu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, even if we come back to this sea area many years later, and Lily is still sitting next to me like this, I will still remember what happened today."

"Is that so...? That's good... In that case, Shiraha, please remember me, remember my story... Never forget, never forget Ririka's story..."

"As you wish, I will not forget... from the moment Kirari brought you to the shop until now, I will never forget, and I will never forget in the future. After all, there is no other person like you in the world. Even if you and Kirari are sisters, you are completely different."

"No... Bai Yu, could you please change the beginning of the memory..."

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "How about changing the beginning? Like?"

Lilyka sighed, stood up, and handed over her hand. In her palm was a red box. Lilyka pursed her lips, her eyes firm, and said softly, "Can we...start from here...?"

Chapter 740 Ririka: I Want to Marry You, Ririka's Confession (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, only the sound of waves could be heard on the deck. Bai Yu was also taken aback by Lili Xiang's sudden action, but Lili Xiang did not intend to continue speaking and just quietly looked at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu, with his terrifyingly sharp eyes, could naturally see how resolute Lilyka's gaze was. This was a look he had never seen Lilyka display before; it was a rare display of determination in her, without even the slightest hint of tension or worry, just unwavering resolve.

Bai Yu chuckled and said softly, "I didn't expect you, Lily, to have such a determined look in your eyes."

"Only in this matter can I muster all the courage I've had since I was a child, because... it's not because I don't want to lose to Kirari, nor for any other reason... I simply want to marry the person I love, it's that simple..."

"Ririka, you..."

"Now... I want to talk about the beginning of this story called Ririka... a new beginning..."

"From childhood, I have been Kirari's shadow, only to assist her and to make the leadership of the Hyakki clan more stable. I don't remember when I put on the mask."

"But when I came to my senses, this mask had become a part of my life. I had lost my own face, my own freedom, even though my father and mother were not biased and loved me very much..."

"But I know I'm Kirari's assistant, but I don't feel wronged. Maybe it's because that's how I've always thought. But, I know..."

Lily looked down at Shiraha and said softly, "I've always known... I'm not a person with many dreams. I just want a peaceful life, even if no one notices me. Kirari is my sister, my only sister. If it's about helping her, I'd be happy to."

"It's not just because of family arrangements, but also because we're sisters. I've never thought about love or marriage in my life... because I know I can't have these things easily, nor should I..."

"I don't even know what that's like... I learn whatever Kirari learns, and I'll always be nearby wherever she is. Sometimes I feel that following my little sister like this isn't so bad. At least our parents are healthy, my sister is happy and safe, and I'm healthy and worry-free. It's good..."

"But... one day, everything changed. I'll never forget that day. It was at home. I was reading a book when she walked in, very excited. I rarely saw her so excited and thrilled, like an ordinary little girl. My sister said to me..."

"Sister, I've found him! I've found the one destined for me... He's amazing, like a guiding light, so bright and so captivating... Sister! I feel like my life has been given a new lease on life! It's wonderful!"

Lily said softly, "I've never seen her so excited, never. Just like an ordinary little girl, she talked to me nonstop about how wonderful the person she fell in love was and dreamed about their future life. That was the first time I saw her show interest in life."

"But I didn't feel happy. I felt a strange panic because I am Kirari's assistant and also her older sister. I was afraid that she would be deceived, that the person she liked so much would not be accepted by her parents, and that she would be dumped by her lover."

"At the same time... I also have another fear: companionship... I am her assistant, and my life is not absolutely free. If she marries into that family, will I have to live with her too? I don't have to marry that person, but I will live with a stranger?"

"What kind of person is he? If we live together in the future... will I be superfluous? Will my sister hate me because of this? I don't know, I'm very anxious, I keep having all sorts of wild thoughts."

"Just as I was lost in thought, she pulled me aside and said she'd take me to his shop in a few days to meet him. I didn't refuse, and I wouldn't refuse her; it's been that way since we were little..."

"But when I actually met her, over the course of a dinner, I saw a side of Kirari I had never seen before—a Kirari who could be coquettish, a Kirari who could be jealous. It put my mind at ease because the person she liked was really... really good... so good that I felt Kirari was very lucky."

Lily paused here, as if she was struggling with something, but still mustered up her courage and said, "I... on that day, another figure appeared in my heart as well."

“I am her sister, but I am also her shadow. In my world, she is the most powerful person. And now she has not only found her lover, but she is also so obedient, just like a cat that loves to be pampered.”

"That day, I felt that she was no longer invincible, no longer so powerful. Someone could control her, someone could let her show her vulnerable side. It was this feeling that made me feel relieved."

"At the same time, I also felt a bit more admiration for him... To me, he was like a superhero, so amazing, and also so warm, a kind of warmth I had never felt before, the same warmth as that shop, the same warmth as the atmosphere inside..."

"Everyone is nice, and they are all attracted to and united by this man. A word flashed through my mind: home, family. Perhaps this is the feeling of family, which makes people feel relaxed and energetic without any tension."

“He could also see my condition, but he didn’t offer any comfort or encouragement. He just treated me like an ordinary customer, a different kind of customer from Kirari. After that, I went to the store a few more times, and Kirari would always talk to me about him. I enjoyed listening to her and was looking forward to it.”

"Sometimes Kirari would drag me along to go out and about. I... I don't have any dreams. I just feel that this is enough. Being able to stay by the side of the person I like is enough... But every time I see Kirari being close to him, I feel a sense of envy."

"I know... I like him too, not just because we're so similar, but also because I have my own feelings. From the initial hope of being able to be by the side of the person I like, to later... hoping to take things further, further..."

"Become lovers? Become husband and wife? Maybe that would be better... Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Her love story has come to a good end. I... I also want to be myself for a while, just for myself."

"To be by my sister's side, to join the family I love, to marry the man I love—this is the first time in my life I've made a decision on my own... So... Bai Yu..."

Lily sighed and handed over the diamond ring, her eyes resolute. "I want to marry you, I want to be by her side, I want to be the person you can always see at the breakfast table, no matter how much time has passed... Is that okay?"

She remained as determined as ever, and in addition to her usual purity and innocence, her eyes held a more moving firmness. Bai Yu looked at the earnest Lily and chuckled softly.

But with that one word, all of Lily's resolve crumbled in an instant, and her face flushed crimson. Lily's skin was already very fair, and this shyness made her even more adorable.

"I... Bai Yu, I..."

Bai Yu took the diamond ring and said with a smile, "So, whether we start here or in the store, isn't it all the same? After all, the person we remember is you, Lily."

"But... I feel that only now am I truly myself... able to control my own life."

"So it's no wonder you're sisters; you both have the same strange way of thinking."

"So, shouldn't I be saying... Ms. Lilika, will you marry me?" at the end of the first chapter of this story?

Lilyka froze for a moment, staring at Shiraha kneeling on one knee, holding a diamond ring. She felt her heart pounding and her nose stinging, but Lilyka still looked directly at Shiraha and whispered, "No... the ending of the first chapter is... I do..."

Unbeknownst to Lily, in the room to the side, Yuuko Ichihara and the others were busy with their own things while watching something that looked like a large screen next to them.

Yuuko Ichihara chuckled and said, "Oh my, Kirari, you really do have a good older sister."

“I’ve always known that. By the way, why do you think that when I say I’m a woman who deserves to be envied, you’re only referring to the fact that I have a great husband?”

"But then again, my sister will probably become more and more interesting. I really look forward to seeing what the other Hyakki clan members will think when they see her. Oh, I almost forgot about Luna and Yumeko."

After looking at it for a while, Lucifer asked with some confusion, "So... where are Eirin's people?"

"Yonglin went to check on Falme. Falme is prone to seasickness if she doesn't get enough rest, so Yonglin went to check on her. But Falme is really lucky."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll talk to you about this later. Okay, Grayfia, I've taken your measurements. Do you prefer a long style? Or a short or mid-length style like Sakuya's?"

Gurefia thought for a moment and said, "Let's go with the long style... After all, I don't need to find a place to throw knives, so the classic style is better. All the maids in our household wear this style."

"Hey, Gurefia, be careful when you go to see your aunt. She might think you married into this family to suffer and become someone else's servant."

Gurefia said irritably, "How could I possibly let my mother think that way? Besides, no matter what, my mother wouldn't think that way."

"Huh? I was hoping to see you, Griffia, frantically explaining things to your mother."

"What kind of thinking is this... Mengmeng, it's your turn to measure."

"Huh?! Mengmeng! You've really let yourself go after you completely beat the game?! Bunny girl wasn't enough, you have to add maid attributes too?!"

Riven blushed and said irritably, "What? What kind of imagination do you all have? It's just that Grayfia wanted a maid outfit, so she asked Yuuko to help her take measurements. She also took all the measurements needed for the wedding dress and red dress. I happened to be there, so I took my measurements too."

"Oh! Right, right! I almost forgot! Let's measure it when we get home, Asagi, is your form ready?"

Lan Yuqian nodded and said, "Of course! This is a life-changing event, you know. I'll finish it today and send it to the group later. You can just open it and fill it out yourself."

"Okay!" xn (

In the other room, Eirin Yagokoro looked at Farme sitting on the edge of the bed and sighed, saying, "Farme, I must say, you're really lucky."

Farme sighed and said, "I don't know why it's such a coincidence... Eirin, what brings you to me?"

Eirin Yagokoro shook her head and said, "Don't be nervous. I just came to check if you'd get seasick because you weren't resting well. It seems like there's nothing wrong. So just rest well and don't think too much about it."

"I..."

Eirin Yagokoro smiled and said softly, "Lucy and the others know that you won't always be weapons dealers, and Feng Shui knows that too. That's why they want you to choose your future path as early as possible."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be the person in front of you, but you also need to consider that you and Coco both know very well that you can't be weapons dealers forever, and your plan has no chance of success. So you need to be bolder in your imagination. You can plan your life the way you like."

Farme shook his head and said, "I know, Eirin, I understand what you're saying. The World Serpent Project is impossible, and we can't be weapons dealers forever, but I..."

"Knowing this is enough. There will always be a moment when people know and realize what they should do and what they should choose. Just be yourself and feel at ease. After all, only you can control your own life."

Farme nodded without saying anything. Just as Eirin was about to get up and leave, she heard Farme say softly, "Eirin, I want to know... what it feels like to have someone you love."

"Hmm? If it's unrequited love, then it's painful. If you're loved, then you should be happy about your charm. If the person you love also loves you... then you'll feel like the happiest woman in the world."

"Is this so..."

"Okay, then you should rest well. I'll head back now and come get you for lunch. Don't worry, it'll be fine."

"Um..."

After Eirin Yagokoro left, Farme finally breathed a sigh of relief, rested her head on the pillow, looked at the ceiling, and whispered, "Just be yourself... You're in control of your own life..."

Eirin Yagokoro chuckled softly as she stood at the door before quietly leaving. She knew that Farme was truly asleep now.

Chapter 742 Eri's Phone Call, Luna's Purpose (Please Subscribe~)

Farme slept peacefully, while Lily quietly helped Shiraha tidy up his fishing rods, as if she wasn't the one who had just confessed with such determination, nor was she the one whose eyes were red from the proposal.

Huang Quanyue Luna stretched and said, "Hmm, it really does feel like I'm fighting alone all of a sudden. Lily is always so unpredictable."

Nakiri Managi put down her kitchen knife and said seriously, "Luna, if you like it, you should just say so directly."

"I'm not in a hurry. After all, I've already achieved three-quarters of the purpose of this trip, which is more than enough."

"Three-quarters?"

"I've made sure I like him, and I've told Bai Yu that. I want to create opportunities for the two of us to spend time together in the future. The only thing left is to create some amazing memories, so I'm not in a hurry."

"Just like you said, if there's a diamond ring, and it belongs to me, then I don't need to rush. Even on the day you go to get your marriage certificate, I can bring the diamond ring with me without any problem."

Fiona sighed and said, "You really have a very open-minded attitude, but aren't you afraid of missing out on a lot of opportunities?"

"Opportunity? What do you mean?"

"Um... I mean at least being able to act cute with my husband like that."

"I can do it now."

"Forehead..."

Huang Quanyue Luna said with a smile, "Love, love, you need to have romance and love too. But the process of falling in love is quite interesting, isn't it? But have you noticed that the return journey seems to be a little slower than the way we came?"
