People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

It's a pity that it was ruined by his expressionless face. Bai Yu and his friends were drinking together once and discussed many things, but when they talked about what Gao Lang looked like when he smiled, everyone burst out laughing.

Even King Larma XIII couldn't help but laugh when he heard about it. Gaolang was his right-hand man and personal bodyguard, and he had never seen Gaolang laugh before. After imagining it for a moment, he also smiled.

It wasn't until after 4 p.m. that everyone dispersed. Although they were fighters, they weren't without their own affairs. Chu Jianquan had some free time, but how could he dare to go to the shop?

Chu Jianquan was certain that if he went to the shop, Lucifer and the others would turn him into dumpling filling with a cleaver. Chu Jianquan quickly backed down, deciding to go for a drink after things calmed down.

Walking alone on the street was a rare moment of leisure for Bai Yu. After thinking for a while, he put on his earphones and listened to music while taking a walk. It was still too early to go back now, so Bai Yu decided to take a walk.

"Hmm? This looks familiar..."

As Bai Yu spoke, he walked over. At that moment, a young girl was walking down the street carrying groceries she had bought. Bai Yu walked over and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, Ms. Hori."

"Eh? Eh?! Manager Shiraha...?!"

When Hori Kyoko heard someone call her name, she turned around and saw Shiraha standing behind her with a smile, greeting her. Hori Kyoko was getting a headache just thinking about what Hinami Aoi and the others had talked about, and now seeing Shiraha made her heart race even faster.

"Treat ordinary people as ordinary people...ordinary people...ordinary...not ordinary at all!"

This was Hori Kyoko's current thought. Shiraha asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why do you have that expression? Is there something strange on my face?"

Kyoko Hori shook her head repeatedly, while Shiraha smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence today. We just ran into Fukami and the others, and now we've run into Ms. Hori..."

Hori Kyoko felt inexplicably annoyed by this form of address. They addressed them by their first names, but when they addressed her, they used her surname plus a polite phrase. Although it was polite, it still made her feel uncomfortable.

Hori Kyoko turned her head away and said, "Kyoko...."

"Ok?"

Hori Kyoko gritted her teeth and said, "You have to call them Kyoko! They all call them by their first names! Uh..."

Kyoko Hori was stunned after she finished speaking. Shiraha smiled and said, "I also think that calling her 'Miss Hori' is not very good. Let's just call her Kyoko then."

Hori Kyoko nodded, feeling inexplicably happy. She also felt that staring at Shiraha without saying anything was like being an idiot. Hori Kyoko coughed lightly and said, "Um... Manager Shiraha... where did you meet Fukami?"

"Shen Shishi? Who is that?"

Kyoko Hori was taken aback for a moment before smiling and saying, "Manager Shiraha, you may not know, but Fukami is very popular. Back in school, her close friends all called her Fukami."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "I see. That's quite interesting. I had a small gathering with some friends at a karaoke bar just now, and that's when I saw Fukami."

Kyoko Hori nodded suddenly and said, "Oh! I remember now, Fukami called me this morning to ask if I wanted to come along."

"It seems you didn't go because you were taking care of Sota."

Kyoko Hori sighed and said, "Yeah, but Souta should have some free time when he's in elementary school, and he'll be taking college entrance exams the year after next, so he'll have even more free time then!"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "I remember Asuna said that you all do well in your studies. Where do you plan to go for your exams?"

"My home is in Tokyo, so I'll definitely be working hard to get into a university in Tokyo. As for my grades, they're basically fine. I wonder how things will be in my senior year of high school."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "There shouldn't be any problems. You can come to the store when you're studying for the exams."

"Eh? So, Manager Shiraha, you're also a good student? It seems so... Manager Shiraha really enjoys reading."

"I'm alright, but Klara and the others are all top students who graduated from prestigious international universities. Sometimes when Xiaoqiong doesn't understand her homework, she goes to ask them for help."

Hori Kyoko nodded and said, "Eh? But aren't they busy during the day?"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "You still have more than a year. By then, WGO should be built and you won't be so busy. At least there will be one or two people in the store every day. Besides, if there's no one else, there's always me. You can also help Xiao Qiong develop her interest in learning and create a better atmosphere."

"Huh? Is Xiaoqiong not doing well in her studies?"

"It's alright, but she's a bit playful, so it's good that someone is looking after her."

Hori Kyoko nodded and smiled, saying, "Great! That's wonderful. Shopkeeper Shiraha's shop is quiet and perfect for studying."

"Hmm, I didn't notice it just now. Kyoko, you're really good at buying groceries. Everything is so fresh."

Kyoko Hori laughed and said, "Because I often buy groceries and cook, but then I don't have much time to do my own things. I always feel like I'm suited to be a boring person."

"No, everyone has their own way of living. How can others know if they like this kind of life? Besides, I think Kyoko is great. She's very good at managing a household and very independent. She's much better than her peers."

Kyoko Hori blushed and said, "It can't be that good..."

"I suddenly realized that what Fukami and I said was right after all. Katagiri really is a very harmonious place."

Hori Kyoko asked in confusion, "What evaluation?"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Fuka Nami asked me what I thought of you girls, and I just told her the truth."

Kyoko Hori asked expectantly, "What did they say?"

"They are all very pretty and sensible girls."

"Girl or something..."

"Ok?"

Hori Kyoko immediately called out, "I...I'm going back to prepare dinner! Goodbye, Manager Shiraha!"

Goodbye, take care on your journey.

"Oh!"

Kyoko Hori carried her purchases and ran all the way home, where Sota was quietly sitting in the living room, drawing on the coffee table.

"Phew... Store Manager Shiraha is really... a girl like that... um..."

Upon hearing the voice, Sota turned around and asked in confusion, "Onee-chan! What's wrong?"

Hori Kyoko shook her head and said, "It's nothing... Souta, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Huh? Hmm... Omelette rice!"

"Hmm... Sister needs to rest for a while."

Sota said with some concern, "Onee-chan, did you run back? I wasn't very hungry, there was no need for me to run back."

Kyoko Hori shook her head and said, "It's not because of that...it's something else...Sata, what are you doing?"

"I was drawing, the time I had dinner with my parents at my older brother's shop last time!"

Kyoko Hori nodded without saying anything, then sat down on the sofa and sighed, saying, "Well... really... Aoi is too outrageous... how could she be treated like an ordinary person?"

"Onee-chan! Onee-chan!"

"Ok?"

"Your phone is ringing, Ounai-chan."

Kyoko Hori was startled and realized her phone had been ringing for a while. She shook her head, sighed, and answered the call. Sota, on the other hand, looked at Kyoko with a puzzled expression, feeling that Kyoko was acting strangely today.

Meanwhile, WGO was quite lively. However, unlike Lucifer and the others' laughter and chatter, Klara and Deklara were whispering to each other.

"Kraqi..., it's time to go back."

"Um...."

"Kraqi, I'm a little nervous, what should I do? I'm going on a date with Shiraha tomorrow!"

Kraki said irritably, "What date? It's still a date... Ugh, the purpose isn't a date, it's to confess my feelings! Confess my feelings! It's a life-changing event!"

Dekker breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But...but you saw the gentian too..."

Kraki blushed slightly and coughed lightly, saying, "I think this way the afternoon's plan can be carried out much better, but now that you mention it... I'm getting nervous too..."

Dekker's palms were sweaty as she said to Klara, "Klara...Klara...you can't be nervous! What will I do if you're nervous!"

Kraki breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's when we need..."

"Kraqi!"

"Ah!! Who is it?!"

Klara turned around and saw Lucifer and the others looking at the two of them with helpless expressions. Nakiri Managi said irritably, "Klara, Deklara, I know you two have plans for tomorrow, but it's been a whole afternoon, it's time to go back."

Kraki blushed, and Deklar was also a little embarrassed. Lucifer chuckled and said, "Let's go, let's go back. That bastard Izumi! How dare he call a hostess?!"

At this point, Medis almost pulled out her big iron hammer. She was furious! She couldn't even stay by Bai Yu's side, and Chu Jianquan had actually found a singer?! Her blood pressure spiked. The worst part was that she hadn't even heard her lover sing yet!

The others also looked dissatisfied. Nakiri Managi sighed and said, "Lucifer, I personally feel that there's not much of a problem."

"Let's not talk about that anymore! Let's go back! Let's see if Bai Yu is in the shop."

Everyone nodded and got up to leave. However, after they left, a man in a pink suit walked over, sighed, and said, "Sharum, have you received any messages from Klara and Deklara?"

Shalum nodded and said, "I received it. They said to wait for their message tonight. They need to set up a discussion group to announce something, but the rumor is that it's a good thing. They say we can have a short vacation."

"Huh?! Really? Who told you that?"

Shalum chuckled and said, "Of course it's true. Just now, when the two executive officers, Lady Dekola and Lady Klaqi, went to the temporary wine cabinet to get some red wine, I was checking the items for lunch when I overheard something incredible."

"what?"

"The gist of it is that Lady Klara said something to Lady Dekra, and then while the two were laughing and joking, I heard Lady Dekra say in confusion, 'Are we really going to remove a few executors?'"

"Lady Klara casually said that this was a reward, since it was a day off. They're usually quite interested in Tokyo and never have time to explore it, so tomorrow is a reward holiday. What's wrong with that?"

Istdal laughed and said, "Looks like there's really good news. Hey, Shalum, if you really have a holiday, what are you going to do?"

Shalum thought for a moment and said, "It's definitely a holiday after doing something, but it seems that Lady Klara and Lady Deklara have their own personal lives to attend to, so asking us for help is probably more like playing around."

"Wow! You're quick-witted, but why is it about your personal life?"

"Are you stupid? Remember? Lady Klara and Lady Deklara are rumored to be pursuing the same man, that Lady Shiraha. Judging from how happy they are, they're probably going on a date, so if nothing unexpected happens..."

"Hero saves the damsel in distress? We're the bad guys?"

Shalum looked at Istdal with an expression of utter disbelief and said, "Please! Are you crazy? Do you think this is a country at war? Hero saves the damsel in distress? Remember, they were just pursuing each other, and they're probably going to confess their feelings soon!"

"Huh?! What does that have to do with us?"

"Tch... You've been watching TV dramas for nothing, of course you're just joining in the commotion!"

"Oh!! That's very possible. So what should we do now?"

"What to do? What can we do? It's a good thing no matter what. And if that's really the case, then we should perform well. Maybe it will even help with the later assessments."

The two men were having a great time discussing this, but their discussion quickly shifted from guessing what to do tomorrow to where they should go if they actually had a vacation.

Bai Yu had returned to the shop, still listening to music. She found a book, settled into a quiet spot, and hummed a tune from time to time. Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, she appeared exceptionally peaceful.

Chapter 725 Gentleness Itself, at Least Two Steps (Please Subscribe~)

Bai Yu didn't know what book he was reading or what song he was listening to, only that the setting sun and the quiet shop created a particularly artistic atmosphere, with a gentle breeze blowing by.

The wind chimes by the window rang intermittently, the sound of which was unclear—whether it was the fragrance of the shop, the aroma of flowers, or the scent of a cup of rich black tea. The fragrance seemed to glide along with the light, reaching every corner.

The street next door was still bustling, with laughter drifting in from time to time and the aroma of snacks from some unknown eatery wafting through the air. Everything was tranquil, peaceful, and comfortable, with only the sound of turning pages proving that someone was inside the shop.

This tranquility can heal many people. The black tea has gradually cooled down, and the heat has slowly dissipated. Bai Yu has stopped humming and is simply listening to the song and reading the book quietly.

No matter how noisy and chaotic things are, it's better to read a book quietly. A cup of black tea, a ray of setting sun, the sound of wind chimes, a faint fragrance, a few joyful laughs, and the aroma of cooking from next door are enough to calm the restlessness in your heart.

This was also what Lucifer and the others were thinking at the moment. No one had come in yet, and they were just quietly watching from the doorway. It felt like it would be very impolite to interrupt them.

"Heh...it's getting cold..."

Bai Yu didn't realize when he remembered the black tea. He picked up the cup and found that it seemed to have gone cold. He smiled and shook his head, took a small sip, sighed, closed the book and gently placed it on the table. He turned around and saw Lucifer and the others crowding at the door.

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then said with a slight smile, "You're back..."

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the smile appeared exceptionally gentle. Upon hearing these words, Shiranui and the others felt a sense of belonging that brought them comfort and relaxation. Lucifer smiled and said, "Yes, you're back."

Bai Yu glanced at the setting sun outside the window and said softly, "What would you like to eat?"

"meat!"

"puff..."

Without even guessing who said it, Bai Yu smiled and said, "Let's all rest for a while, I'll go prepare dinner."

She got up and went upstairs to change her clothes. Shiranui sighed and said, "Is it Shiraha's shop that has this tranquil magic, or is it Shiraha himself who has this magic?"

Lucifer shook his head and said, "I don't know about anything else, but I do know that I felt a sense of belonging when Bai Yu was speaking just now."

"I feel the same way!"
