"That's really convenient. However, when the commander-in-chief called, he said he wanted to eat sukiyaki. So let's just get a large sukiyaki, and a couple of side dishes to go with the drinks. The typhoon shelter-style stir-fried shrimp is pretty good. Do you have anything similar?"

"There are plenty, but snacks to go with drinks are definitely the easiest to make. What would you like to drink? Beer or something else?"

"Hmm... this dish feels a bit strange with beer, but the peach blossom wine is pretty good... By the way, Manager Bai Yu, do you have any recommendations?"

"Please wait."

Watching Shiraha leave, Dojima Gin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As expected, eating at Shiraha's restaurant always gives me a headache but also a sense of relief."

Yuko Ichihara said irritably, "What kind of evaluation is that?"

"Ordering is a headache, but as long as you know what kind of food you want, Manager Bai Yu can arrange it for you. The store is also very comfortable, so you naturally feel relaxed."

"That's true, but it does sound strange now that you mention it. Oh, by the way, my husband said Mr. Caibo is coming back soon, do you know when?"

Dojima Gin was taken aback for a moment and said, "Eh? That kid Joichiro is coming back? I really didn't know that. Honestly, that guy is really not a good friend. After so many years of brotherhood, I didn't even know he was coming back."

Beelzebub and the others looked at Dojima Gin with disgust. Dojima Gin was taken aback for a moment and said, "What kind of looks are you giving me?"

Yuko Ichihara frowned and said, "Mr. Dojima, although you certainly won't admit it, were you just jealous...? Could it be that what Klara said was true...?"

"Huh? What the heck! I was just making a rant! How did this get dragged into this?!"

Tohru and the others on the side also clearly didn't believe it. Lucoa was already considering whether to tell Izumi Sagiri. It was really too outrageous. Izumi Sagiri was already a little anxious.

Before Dojima Gin could say anything, he saw Nakiri Senzaemon walk in. Nakiri Senzaemon said with some confusion, "Oh! Lucy, it's you guys minding the shop again."

"Ah... um, they're all upstairs working overtime or studying, but most of them went to a party. Should we call Managi and Erina down?"

Senzaemon Nakiri sat opposite Gin Dojima, crossed his arms, thought for a moment, and said, "You've arrived quite early today. Managi and the others should still be busy. Let's talk later."

"Okay, by the way, when is Totsuki Academy's school festival?"

Senzaemon Nakiri thought for a moment and said, "The Moon Festival is usually around November 5th, but this year there are many things going on, and the field training ended early, so October is completely blank. In addition, there are many things we want to finish quickly, so we plan to hold the 0th Festival at the end of the month..."

"Huh? It won't be long then."

"That's right. Also, because we parents have a gathering this year, the winter break will start earlier this year. After all, Totsuki is not quite the same as a regular school."

"Huh? So that means you're planning to get together many times?"

"You could say that, since many people can't possibly get here right away, and while you guys have time to visit each other and stroll around, so do we."

Lucifer nodded and said, "It seems like there's something worth learning about..."

"That's true, but you just need to take care of your own affairs. You don't need to get involved in anything else. By the way, how's the construction of your manor going?"

"It's going quite smoothly. Baphomet's construction team is very efficient. Yuko is currently drawing up plans for other places."

"Heh, but speaking of which, Yuko, you guys are all quite talented. I didn't expect you to be able to design a manor so easily."

Yuuko Ichihara laughed and said, "Of course, I still prefer designing clothes. Designing a manor seems like a real headache... Hmm? Why are there so many people today?"

Before Ichihara Yuuko could finish speaking, the door opened and Yukihira Joichiro walked in. Upon seeing Dojima Gin and Nakiri Senzaemon, he paused for a moment and said, "Oh! Gin, Commander-in-Chief, what a coincidence, you two are here today too."

"Damn! We were just talking about you. I was wondering when you were coming back, and here you are, walking in the door. What made you suddenly decide to come back?"

"I heard that Manager Bai Yu is going to the Li Palace. I've been wanting to have a match with him for a while now. It's a rare opportunity, so of course I had to come. What did you two order?"

"The large sukiyaki comes with two side dishes to go with drinks, do you want to join us?"

"Definitely! Manager Bai Yu! Add two more dishes! We'll have some to go with our drinks!"

Chapter 695 Katarina's feelings are complicated, and the expectant crowd (Please subscribe~)

Not long after Yukihira Joichiro and the others finished chatting, they saw Shiraha pushing a food cart over. Nakiri Senzaemon and the others were also pleasantly surprised. In a restaurant, nothing is better than suddenly seeing the hot and sumptuous dinner you've been looking forward to while you're having a great conversation.

"So, for the three of you, dinner will consist of a large sukiyaki, a platter of braised meats, crispy roast goose, stir-fried eel with shrimp, pan-fried tofu, and pure grain-brewed baijiu for the three of you."

Senzaemon Nakiri glanced at it and said with some surprise, "Wow! This eel looks amazing! I'm really looking forward to it. But, Chinese liquor... Alright! In that case, I won't be polite and will dig in!"

"Please enjoy your meal. But then again, it's true that snacks to go with drinks are the easiest to make."

Dojima Gin said with a smile, "Manager Shiraha, you really have the freedom to run your shop. But these dishes do look easy to make and go well with drinks."

Bai Yu sat in the chair and chuckled, saying, "These 09... Actually, if it weren't for opening a shop, there would probably be an even simpler way."

"Huh? What do you say?"

"In China, fried peanuts and cucumber salad are undisputed favorites when it comes to snacks with alcohol."

"Um...that is indeed simple."

"When it comes to drinking, the main thing is the mood and atmosphere. What you eat is not important, as long as it's not bad."

Yukihira Joichiro laughed and said, "That's true, hmm? Wow! This is delicious! Good wine!"

Senzaemon Nakiri had already wisely changed his shirt. After taking a sip, he nodded and said, "Hmm! Smooth and mellow, with a rich grain aroma. Good wine. Sure enough, your shop will never lack good stuff."

"I bet your next question is, 'I'll give you two bottles when you leave?'"

"Ahem... That's what I say, but you're really direct."

Bai Yu sat back down and sighed, saying, "It's just because I know you too well. By the way, I went to HUB before, and their product development capabilities are indeed quite good. I wonder what they'll think about this school festival."

"That's for sure. After all, they've secured the exclusive agency rights for WGO. So far, the only other companies that can get that rights besides HUB are Mito's family's company. Mito's meat products are indeed of very high quality."

"Speaking of which... Lucy, haven't the cheongsams you ordered been finished yet?"

Lucifer paused for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "Oh right! I almost forgot! Honey, I... wait... Elma!"

"I think... cough cough cough... Lucy, what's wrong? You scared me."

Lucifer coughed lightly and said, "Stop talking for now. You and Yuuko go upstairs first, hurry up."

"Huh? What's up?"

"Don't ask any questions yet. Come upstairs with me and call Erina and the others down. It'll only take about ten minutes, quick, quick, quick."

"Oh... I'll go upstairs first, you two can chat first."

Lucoa nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. You've only been eating for a short while, there's no rush to go back."

Eruma nodded and followed Yuuko Ichihara upstairs, then rushed straight to Seiya and the others' room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a group of people gathered together again, having a party.

"Hey! Elma's back. What's up? Did you finish talking to your friend?"

"No, Yuko dragged me upstairs, and I don't know what to do."

"Yuko, what's up? Not minding the shop today? Let's go together."

Yuuko Ichihara shook her head and said, "I prefer looking after the shop more. Let me see... Mine, Leone, Index, Akame, Kurome, Chelsea, Hill... Hmm? Eh? Where are Najenda and Shiho?"

"Najenda is taking a shower, and Shiho is organizing data. They said they'd be over at nine. What's up?"

"It's alright... Yamato, Ulti, Maria, Perona, Mai, Kurumi, Kaori, and Katarina, come with me."

"Huh?" xn

Upon hearing that there was something interesting going on, Alice immediately raised her hand and said, "Yuko-nee! What's up! Can I go watch?"

"What are you looking at? It's nothing serious. Come with me, it'll be over soon."

"Oh..."

When they were led to Yuko Ichihara's room, Yuko Ichihara handed them a tablet and said, "Here, there are pictures on the tablet. Choose a pattern and color you like, and then come over here to have your measurements taken."

"Take measurements?"

Yuko Ichihara nodded and said, "That's right. The sisters in the family ordered two cheongsams for each of us before, but we've all been very busy lately and forgot about it. A family should be complete. We don't have to wear them, but we can't be without them. Come on, everyone pick out your favorite color and pattern."

Index and the others weren't bothered by it; Leone and the others considered this their own home, and some even had ulterior motives. However, Katarina and Kanzaki Kaori were taken aback. Their own sisters? They were included?

Katarina pursed her lips and said, "Then why did you invite me and Huozhi along...?"

Kanzaki Kaori nodded in agreement. While flipping through the measuring tape, Hara Yuuko casually said, "Index is family, and Kaori, you're not an outsider either. Didn't you say you like this place and hope to come back someday? Then you're not an outsider."

"As for you, Katarina, you know so much, so you'll definitely be transferred to another place in the future and you'll be working with Soraka. Soraka and Akali are family, and you've lived here for so long, so you're not an outsider either."

"Your room is here too, and with that third party around, you'll definitely be coming over often in the future. Don't always act like an outsider. As for Maria and Runti, there's no need to mention you. Runti, uh... Runti and Yamato's weirdness is written all over their faces..."

Maria's eye twitched slightly; sure enough, these women could all see it, though it was quite obvious.

Yuko Ichihara coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, as for Maria, you all said you'd come over often in the future. Things are bound to change over there. Once things settle down, you'll probably be bored to death. Alright, send a few people over to take measurements."

"Oh..." xn (

Chapter 696 Najendan's Suggestion, Shiho Miyano Wants to Complain (Please Subscribe~)

Index and the others excitedly went to choose styles after taking their measurements. Mine and the others even started discussing them, but Katarina and the others clearly had mixed feelings.

"Wow! As expected of Nami and the others, their figures are quite exaggerated. Perona's figure is also much better than Asuna's. But I didn't expect Katarina's waist to be so thin."

"Huh? Hmm...it's alright."

"That's great, definitely supermodel level. What's wrong? You look like you have a complicated expression."

Katarina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing, but are you sure I look good in a cheongsam?"

"Oh my, with our sisters' looks and figures, how could they be ugly? Didn't you just provoke Akali about her figure? Why are you so insecure wearing a cheongsam?"

"It's not that I lack confidence, it's just that it feels strange to have never worn one before."

"It'll be fine once you wear it, but it looks like it won't be available until before Christmas. There's no rush. I've also messaged Gion and the others, telling them to measure and choose for themselves. But, Yamato, choose carefully."

Yamato scratched his head and said, "I...I've never worn clothes like this before. How am I supposed to choose? They all look pretty much the same to me. Junti, how did you choose so quickly?"

"Is this that difficult?!"

Yuko Ichihara breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Take your time choosing. Once you've chosen, just write down the color and number on that piece of paper over there. I've already written your names and sizes for you. Just write them after your names, and that's it."

"Okay!" xn

Yuuko Ichihara turned and left, but instead of going downstairs, she went straight to Shiho Miyano's room. Shiho Miyano was still calculating data when she heard the sound, turned around, and asked in surprise, "Yuuko? What's wrong? Is my sister here?"

"No, no, I'm here to take your measurements."

"Measure the dimensions? What dimensions?"

After Yuko Ichihara said something, Shiho Miyano said somewhat strangely, "I'm not suited to wearing cheongsams."

"Like I said, you don't have to wear it, but you can't be without it. Hurry up, I'll take your measurements, then you can go pick out a style yourself. I've already sent the Mingmei one, hurry up."

Shiho Miyano sighed, but still stood up and opened her arms, feeling a warmth in her heart. Yuko Ichihara nodded after taking her measurements and said, "Alright, this is your data. Just go ahead. You should be the last one. I'll go find Najenda. It's the same whether you fill it out first or later."

"Okay, by the way, if we're going to the hot springs on Friday..."

"Oh? Right! Speaking of which, it reminds me of something!"

"what?"

"Your family has given you suggestions before, what are your thoughts? You're drawing up the architectural design now, what are your thoughts? Don't worry about the land area, there's a way to solve that. We even talked about having a hot spring before, it's not a problem."

Shiho Miyano sighed and said, "I don't have any ideas. I originally wanted a laboratory, but didn't they say I already have one?"

"There's a slight difference. Hers is science, yours is chemistry. These are two different kinds of experiments, right? A chemistry lab? Sure, do you want one?"

"Um... thank you then..."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. You go to my room first, and if you see anyone else still here, please leave. I'll go back to them later. I'm going to find Najendan now; she should be done washing up by now."

Watching Yuko Ichihara leave, Shiho Miyano breathed a sigh of relief. There were always unexpected things happening in this family.

Meanwhile, Yuuko Ichihara went straight to Najenda's room. She glanced at the bathroom and was about to wait a moment when she saw Najenda come out wrapped in a towel, drying her hair. Upon seeing Yuuko, Najenda paused for a moment and said, "Huh? Yuuko, what brings you here?"

After Yuuko Ichihara explained, Najenda said somewhat helplessly, "You could have just sent a message, why did you come all the way here?"

"Isn't that a piece of cake? Come on, raise your arm, let me measure it for you. By the way, while I'm measuring, I'll ask you if you have any suggestions. Shiho thought of a chemistry lab, what do you need?"

Najenda thought for a moment and said, "This... I really didn't expect that... Didn't we all say we didn't know anything about it when Gion said they wanted a large hot spring?"

"Don't worry about the size, even a big one is fine. I plan to finish the layout of the main house in the next couple of days. If you have anything you want to build in the main house, hurry up and think about it. You've been living here for a while now, you should have some ideas by now. Alright, put your arms down. I didn't realize you were so capable, Najenda."

Najenda clicked her tongue and said, "At least I can be quite confident in my beauty and figure without being modest. After all, my doorstep was practically worn down by marriage proposals back in the day."

"Okay, hey, don't interrupt. Think about it quickly. I bet Mine and the others have probably figured something out by now. You're their eldest sister, you can't be that simple, can you?"
