People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Nami paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "What is it? Just tell me directly, we're like family."

Riven nodded and said, "I just wanted to say something, Nami, that sometimes you might not be as indispensable as you think, or rather... sometimes you might not be that important... you know what I mean?"

Nami thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I know what you mean, but I'm also very clear that I can't leave right now. After all, as Lucy said, the normal people on the ship aren't quite right."

"That's true... But anyway, as long as you don't make a decision you'll regret, Nami, I still trust your judgment."

Nami nodded and said, "I understand..."

Riven suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion, "Nami, you said before that you liked Bai Yu a little, right?"

"Huh? Yeah, what's wrong? This is the first time I've ever kissed someone!"

Riven narrowed her eyes and said, "Nami... you haven't made any progress, is it because you haven't made up your mind about something, like whether to go back to the ship or stay?"

Nami's eyes twitched, and after a long pause, she sighed and nodded, saying, "I hate to admit it, but it's true... It gives me a headache just thinking about it..."

"Friendship is on one side, and family is on the other. Both must be quite important to pirates."

Nami paused for a moment and didn't say anything. Riven stood up, stretched, and said, "I'm going back to wash up. Nami, don't think about it anymore. There's plenty of time. Think about it slowly. Maybe you'll suddenly figure it out one day?"

"Um...."

After Riven left, Nami lay down on the bed and sighed, saying, "Luffy and the others... what would happen if I weren't here?"

"But if I leave..."

Nami felt a terrible headache just thinking about it, and Bai Yu also had a headache. Although she had her own ideas, her current state was probably like...

During the exam, I was torn between A and C. I had calculated it many times, and my favorite choice was C, but I just didn't dare to write it down.

"Never mind, I'll just go wash up... Summer vacation is almost here, I guess I should go out and have fun. Should I check what I need to prepare?"

On the other side, just as Riven went out, she saw Lucifer standing to the side with a smile on his face. Riven scratched her head and asked with a puzzled look, "Lucifer, what are you doing here?"

"Mengmeng, come with me."

"Oh...."

Although Riven didn't know what was going on, she followed him anyway. Once inside Lucifer's room, Riven asked in confusion, "Lucifer, what's wrong? What happened?"

Lucifer sat in his chair, crossed his legs, and said with a smile, "Mengmeng, what...what did you and Nami talk about?"

Riven was taken aback and asked in confusion, "How did you know what Nami and I talked about?"

"You two won't be watching movies all the time, and Mengmeng, you're not really stupid."

"I'm not stupid!"

Lucifer sighed and said, "Let me think, you two must be talking about something very interesting... Tell me about it."

Riven sighed and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that Nami doesn't know whether to choose Robin and the others or this side, and the reason is..."

Lucifer casually remarked, "Nami and Shiraha's relationship is because Nami hasn't decided which side to choose yet, right...?"

"Eh? How did you know?"

Lucifer rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Do you think I'm as naive as you?"

"I won't stay here..."

Lucifer ignored Riven's grumbling, and after thinking for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nami didn't not have a plan..."

"Hmm? Has Nami already figured it out?"

"Of course... but rather than saying I've figured it out, it's more like I've already leaned in, but I just don't dare to make a decision. It's still quite reassuring. I'll see how it goes during the summer vacation."

Riven scratched her head, looking puzzled. After thinking for a while, she still couldn't figure out what Nami would choose. Lucifer also saw through Nami's thoughts and smiled, saying, "Which side do you think Nami leans towards?"

"Hmm... what will Nami choose?"

Lucifer smiled and said, "Nami... Mengmeng, after all these years, you've gone through friendships, and now you have your own family, your own love and kinship, and you'll have your own children in the future. You want your children to live a stable and happy life, and with a stable life, they can travel to more parts of the world. Which one do you choose?"

"It must be the latter... Um... I see..."

"Let that girl think about it herself, he doesn't need to worry. I'm more concerned about you now..."

"Eh?"

Chapter 71 Yuuko Ichihara's Speculation, the Outrageous Riven (Please Subscribe~)

Riven was completely stunned. This is such a ridiculous way to change the subject. How did it suddenly become about me? Isn't this a bit absurd?

Riven's mind went completely blank. What the hell? She just made a comment while watching a movie last night. It shouldn't be this bad. She was dragged in for a talk this morning for complaining last night.

Riven said somewhat nervously, "Um... I haven't washed up yet, I'll go first..."

Lucifer simply raised his hand and pointed at Riven's feet. Riven then realized that she couldn't move an inch. At that moment, Riven realized how convenient it was to have magic. She regretted becoming a warrior, although she couldn't learn it anyway, since she didn't have a mana bar.

Riven swallowed hard and said, "Lucy, aren't you supposed to be unable to use magic?!"

Lucifer grinned and said, "Yeah, but that was before. Before, I was afraid that Zdrada and the others would come looking for me. But now... they've all come up here. What am I afraid of? At most, that little angel will come up too. I'm just wondering how to make her fall from grace!"

Riven's lips twitched. Goodness, this demon king has been resurrected, hasn't he? And why does Lucifer seem a bit cunning after releasing his magic?

Lucifer laughed and said, "Mengmeng, I wouldn't hurt you, why are you so nervous?"

Riven's lips twitched as she said, "I feel like the way you're talking is even more dangerous... What are you trying to do...?"

Lucifer chuckled and said, "Mengmeng, I remember you said before that you wanted to be in a relationship, but it seems like you haven't made any progress at all..."

"I...I've made progress!"

Lucifer was taken aback. This wasn't how the script was supposed to go. Shouldn't Riven be completely clueless, not doing anything? Riven was making progress?! How come she didn't know?

Lucifer cleared his throat and asked, "What's the progress? Did you go on a date?"

"No...no..."

"That's true, dating is a bit too difficult for you. What was it... did you tell Bai Yu that you wanted to date him?"

"No...no...no..."

Lucifer raised an eyebrow and said, "So you're implying something?"

"Um... I don't think so..."

Lucifer's eyes twitched, and he leaned over to pinch Riven's cheek, shouting, "You brat! So, what's the progress?"

Riven whispered, "Um... I have time to browse Bai Yu's social media every day!"

Lucifer stared at Riven with her beautiful eyes wide in disbelief. This answer truly shocked her. After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, Lucifer gritted her teeth and said, "Mengmeng! You really are cute!"

"Um... what's wrong?"

"What kind of progress is this?! Hancock and the others watch it countless times a day! You...you little brat, stand up straight and listen to me!"

"oh....."

Lucifer said irritably, "What do you call this? An implication? Even a stranger could do that! At most, it's just a matter of being interested! Why are you staring at it like that?!"

"Um...isn't that right?"

Lucifer said irritably, "You little brat, you... (thousands of words omitted here...)"

Riven felt completely out of sorts. Just then, Yuuko Ichihara walked in and asked, "Hmm? What's wrong? What are you two talking about?"

After Lucifer finished speaking in a rather irritable tone, Yuuko Ichihara's eyes twitched, and she added in a similarly irritable manner, "Moe-moe, you really are cute..."

"I...I've never been in a relationship...How am I supposed to know...?"

Lucifer said irritably, "Alright, summer vacation is almost here, so you can leave it to us."

"Um... Justice has said that too..."

Yuuko Ichihara asked疑惑地, "And then? What happened?"

"And then the bunny girl came along..."

Yuuko Ichihara and Lucifer both twitched their lips. Goodness, as expected of justice, they really never forget to trick honest people.

Lucifer sighed and said, "That's settled then. But Mengmeng, do you really want to be in a relationship?"

Riven thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Hmm... I think Yumiko is right. I really do have feelings for her, and I feel at home here, so I think I should give it a try..."

Lucifer nodded and said, "In that case, just do as we say during the summer vacation. Don't worry, I'm not like Justice."

"Oh... then... what about before summer vacation?"

Yuuko Ichihara tilted her head and said, "Before summer vacation? It's simple. Just talk to Shiraha more before summer vacation. Don't be shy. Shiraha is very considerate."

Riven hesitated for a moment before saying, "Oh... I see. But Lucy, you probably didn't just want to talk to me, did you...?"

Lucifer nodded and said, "That's right, actually you're not bad. There are a few girls who are even more troublesome than you!"

"Um...who is it...?"

Lucifer narrowed his eyes and said, "That's not something you should worry about. Overall, you're alright, even more attentive than them. Alright, go back and wash up."

"Oh!"

Riven seemed relieved and disappeared in a flash. Lucifer turned to look at Yuuko Ichihara and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to wash up?"

"I'll wait for Bai Yu..."

Lucifer's eye twitched, and he said, "You really are..."

"I can't quit smoking for nothing!"

Lucifer's eye twitched. "Hmm? What do you mean? What does your quitting smoking have to do with this?"

"I...don't you know that you can't smoke if you want to have a child?"

"Uh... I don't smoke, how would I know...?"

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "I feel like I have a better chance than any of you!"

Lucifer was taken aback and said irritably, "What? Are you highly fertile?"

"What?... It's because Bai Yu and I share the same life, so in a sense, our quality of life is the closest."

"That's really true... Um... Well, good luck... If it works, it can be used as a model..."

"Do you think I'm a guinea pig?!"

"Otherwise~"

Chapter 72 Saki's Direct Approach Causes a Change in Erina's Mindset (Please Subscribe~)

In the kitchen, Erina was watching Shiraha cook. She didn't participate but just watched, while Saki and Grefia assisted Shiraha.

"Saki, have the clams finished spitting out the sand?"

"Hmm, as expected of Grayfia, she's already pickled it?"

Erina stood to the side watching the three working together seamlessly and suddenly felt that Totsuki was teaching a little slowly, but she couldn't blame Totsuki, as Totsuki itself was strong enough.

However, compared to those real chefs, Totsuki Culinary Academy doesn't have much to teach. Although it's a professional chef training school, it's still just a high school.

After thinking for a moment, Erina said softly, "Manager Shiraha..."

"what happened?"

Shiraha turned to look at Erina with a puzzled expression. After a moment of hesitation, Erina asked with some doubt, "Manager Shiraha, do you think it's still necessary for the Elite Ten to study at Totsuki Academy?"

Saki thought for a moment, then said softly while chopping vegetables, "The Elite Ten are the pinnacle of Totsuki's students, just like Rindou and that Tsukasa Eishi. Totsuki has nothing left to teach the Elite Ten."

Erina nodded, and Grayfia thought for a moment and said, "If you know everything, staying in Totsuki is a waste of time. It's useless except for connections. But Totsuki is mostly made up of the descendants of restaurants with great cuisine and the offspring of some powerful merchants, so it's not entirely useless."

Erina looked at Shiraha, who smiled and said, "The Elite Ten... there's really no need for them to waste their time at Totsuki Academy..."

Erina's eyes lit up and she was about to speak when she heard Shiraha say gently, "But this only applies to the top ten students who are about to enter their third year and the top ten students who are in their third year."

Erina was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a puzzled look, "Manager Shiraha, didn't you also say that there's no need to waste time on the Elite Ten? Why are there different grades for the Elite Ten?"

Gurefia nodded and said, "Yes, that's a pointless waste of time..."

Saki agreed, saying, "That's right. Even though the Ten Masters have different strengths, it's better for them to go out into the culinary world and the world to make their mark than to stay in school. That's what we're doing. The Ten Masters are still a bit lacking compared to us, the group of Midnight Chefs."

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Erina, who are you?"
