People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Huh?! What brings you all here?"

"I'd like to invite you to dinner!"

"Oh! Here we come!"

The girl, or rather, Kitagawa Kaimu, quickly filled out the friend request before putting away her phone and running over. It was hard to believe that this was someone who had just recovered from a cold, especially a young girl.

Just after Kitagawa Kaimu left, Asuna breathed a sigh of relief and said, "To be honest, the fact that Kaimu isn't malnourished is probably because she's not a picky eater."

Hori Kyoko sighed and said, "A girl living alone, having to work part-time, not being very good at cooking, and having a big appetite, often eating fast food and junk food, I always feel that this girl's stomach is going to have problems sooner or later."

Yoshikawa Yuki said helplessly, "Before, every time I asked her to come to the store, she was always busy with her part-time job and didn't have time. Now that she knows, let her go find it herself."

"Hmm..." x4

After a moment of silence, Hinami Aoi said with a puzzled look, "More than anything, I'm concerned about what's in front of me. Asuna, you're acting strange today. What's wrong?"

"Huh? How did it turn to me again?"

Yoshikawa Yuki whispered, "Because you've been acting really strange today. What's wrong?"

Asuna thought for a moment and then sighed, "Okay, okay, it's just that this morning my mom asked me about summer vacation, and then I told her about it."

"And then?" x4

"Then Mom said, roughly, that... Manager Baiyu and the others have already taken good care of me. This summer, they even invited us to go to the beach with them. Remember to treat Manager Baiyu and the others to a cup of coffee or something when you have time."

Kyoko Hori asked, puzzled, "It's normal. What's wrong with you?"

Hinami Aoi thought for a moment and said, "Something's not right. This is Asuna's mother. For her to say something like this... she wouldn't actually want you to pursue Manager Shiraha, would she...?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they realized what was happening. Asuna sighed and said, "So that's the reason..."

"Oh..." x4

Chapter 223 Kikuchi Sonoka, You Don't Know or Haven't Thought About It? (Please Subscribe~)

Everyone pondered for a moment, completely lost in thought, but one thing was certain: they also didn't know what to say.

After a moment of silence, Nanami Fukami softly asked, "Asuna... what are your own thoughts?"

"I...my thoughts...I don't have any other thoughts."

Hinami Aoi tilted her head and said, "I think... what Fukami meant was, if Auntie hadn't said anything, would you have invited Manager Shiraha? Am I right?"

"Ok!"

After thinking for a long time, Asuna nodded and said, "I will invite them. After all, they've really taken good care of me. But as for other things... I don't know..."

Aoi Hinami sighed and said, "Asuna, do you not know, or have you never even thought about it?"

Asuna paused for a moment, and Hinami Aoi waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, there's no need to talk about this anymore. Asuna, don't overthink it. Summer vacation is coming soon, and it won't matter if you fail the final exams."

"Ok!"

While they resumed their previous relaxed conversation, Yuuko Ichihara and Rindou Kobayashi arrived at a small but distinctive restaurant.

Yuuko Ichihara looked at it for a moment before saying with a puzzled expression, "Shunka-tei? Where have I heard that name before?"

"Huh? You know? Where did you find out?"

"I don't remember... Oh well, I'm sure I've heard of this shop before..."

Kobayashi Rindou nodded and said, "Let's go. Let me tell you, my senior suffered because she graduated too early. She has no resources at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't only have such a small shop. But she still has a lot of ambition."

"Hmm, I can tell. If he graduated early, he probably didn't come from a very powerful family. It's quite impressive that he was able to buy a shop on his own in such a short time. He's someone who doesn't like to be subordinate to others for long."

"The Elite Ten are all very accomplished, and each generation is more arrogant than the last, especially this year's. You've all seen Erina, right? Before she came to the shop, she was so arrogant, she wouldn't submit to anyone. After all, all the Elite Ten have to invite her to taste the dishes."

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "Looking at it this way, Shiraha and the others have done a pretty good job changing Erina."

"Ok!"

The two walked into the shop as they talked. The shop was small but very clean and tidy. There was no smell of oil or smoke, only a faint aroma of food and some potted plants. Because the shop was small, there were no private rooms, but there were carved partitions separating the spaces.

As Kobayashi Rindou said, it was already past lunchtime, so there were only three or four people dining in the restaurant. They were pleasantly surprised to see Kobayashi Rindou and Ichihara Yuuko.

After all, everyone has a love for beauty. However, unlike in anime, there won't be any thugs or spoiled brats trying to pick you up. Most people who come to Western restaurants have some manners.

Beautiful women attract attention wherever they go. The diners only glanced at them and that was it. As soon as the two entered, a young and cute girl walked over.

"You two... Eh?! Gentian! What brings you here?!"

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and said, "Hehe... Kikuchi-senpai, my sisters and I came here for lunch. We really miss your cooking!"

Kikuchi Sonoka asked in confusion, "Hmm? Your sister? I remember you weren't an only child?"

"Yes, we have the same man."

"Oh!"

Kikuchi Sonoka nodded in realization, and after a long while, she said with a look of surprise, "Eh?! Rindou! You have a man!"

"Yes, I'm planning to get married around the year after next."

"Huh?! Married...?! You're moving way too fast!"

Kobayashi Rindou smiled and said, "With so many people in my family, there are bound to be some who are worried about me. And of course, I should seize the opportunity if I find a good man. Hey? Kikuchi-senpai, with your figure and looks, and your gentle nature and cooking skills, I'm sure many people would like you."

Kikuchi Sonoka sighed and said, "I've always been single. I think I should give up before I've achieved success in my career. Only when I'm excellent can I find an excellent man."

Rindou Kobayashi nodded and said, "Yes, I agree, because I am excellent."

Yuko Ichihara and Sonoka Kikuchi were both taken aback. Wow, your self-praise was really smooth, you turned the tables right away? Seriously?

Yuko Ichihara said irritably, "You consider yourself excellent?"

"Because Bai Yu is outstanding, I am also an outstanding person."

"I...I have nothing to say..."

"Because of this fact!"

Looking at the two people in front of her, Kikuchi Sonoka blinked before asking in confusion, "Eh? You just said... Shiraha? Is it that Shiraha shop manager?"

"Hmm... Huh?! Kikuchi-senpai! How did you know?! You were at the store too?!"

Kikuchi Sonoka shook her head and said, "No, I just heard other upperclassmen talking about it. They said some people made significant progress after going there, and they also said that Manager Shiraha is amazing. Rindou, your boyfriend is Manager Shiraha?!"

"Yeah, Kikuchi-senpai, you can come over for a meal sometime, it's super delicious."

"Hmm... let's talk about it later. You guys must be hungry too. What would you like to eat?"

After finding a seat, Kobayashi Rindou and Ichihara Yuuko picked up the menu and started looking at it. The number of dishes was neither too many nor too few, just average, but the design was exquisite.

Kobayashi Rindou suddenly noticed something and exclaimed, "There's this...!"

"have what?"

"Kikuchi-senpai!"

"Ok?"

"I want to eat... pineapple fried rice, braised veal in white sauce, and lemongrass coconut chicken soup. Hmm... for dessert, I'll have this handmade ice cream. Oh, and for the two of us, we'll also have a honey-glazed grilled steak with extra sauce."

"Okay...and this lady?"

"Yuko! Trust me! Pineapple rice!"

"Um... okay, then I'll have pineapple fried rice, stuffed pork chops, lime cream chicken soup, olive oil cucumber and shrimp salad. By the way, what does 'spicy' and 'non-spicy' mean?"

"You can choose between red pepper sauce or the regular sauce for cooking."

"That's normal then, I want ice cream too."

"Ok."

Chapter 224 The Justice of Feigning Ignorance, the Brilliant Kikuchi Sonoka (Please Subscribe~)

After Kikuchi Sonoka left, the diners didn't look again. The shop wasn't big, and they weren't deaf. It was obvious that the two beauties were taken, but they still envied the man named Shiraha.

Yuuko Ichihara asked with some confusion, "Eh? Why do you recommend that pineapple rice so much?"

"Of course it's not your average pineapple fried rice. You'll find out soon enough. Senior Kikuchi is a star chef at such a young age. She's an expert in Western cuisine, not French cuisine."

Yuko Ichihara paused for a moment before asking in confusion, "Huh? Does that mean... she's proficient in all Western cuisines, including French cuisine?"

"Pretty much, but by the way, do you know which year Kikuchi-senpai is in?"

"Which session? It should be around 84 or 85?"

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and said, "Eighty-ninth! That's right! Just one year ahead of me!"

Yuuko Ichihara said with some surprise, "She already has her own shop after only one year of graduation? That's incredible... What seat is she?"

"Second seat. I'll become the second seat after Kikuchi-senpai graduates. Kikuchi-senpai is usually very gentle and easily bullied, but she's a really good person and works very hard."

"Second seat...that's really impressive...but speaking of which, Rindou, how much weaker are you compared to Tsukasa Eishi?"

"Well... if I use my full strength, I'm not too afraid of Asa, but Asa has that special ability, so it's probably a 40/60 split."

Yuko Ichihara nodded, then, as if remembering something, asked in confusion, "Hey, what do you think Shiraha and the others are doing?"

"I don't know, but as long as there is justice, it's not a problem."

"I'm just worried that Zhengyi might lead Mengmeng astray. You know, Zhengyi is very good at playing dumb. She changes the subject at crucial moments. She's a master at playing dumb."

Rindou Kobayashi thought for a moment before taking out his phone. Yuko Ichihara asked in confusion, "What are you going to do?"

Rindou Kobayashi swiped on his phone as he muttered, "Instead of guessing here, why not just ask? It's not like I can't ask..."

"How much do you ask whom?"

"It's best not to bother Bai Yu. Justice will definitely play dumb, so... let's just leave it at that."

"Are you trying to bully an honest person?"

"There's no question of bullying or not bullying family members."

Yuko Ichihara rolled her eyes but didn't say anything. Riven was indeed the best choice, after all, she was an honest person and easy to talk to.

"Mengmeng, where are you guys?"

"A sushi restaurant! It seems to be a very famous sushi restaurant."

Yuuko Ichihara leaned closer and asked疑惑地问道, "Where are Shiraha and Masayoshi?"

Riven turned her phone around, and then the two of them twitched at the corner of their eyes, because they saw Justice wearing sunglasses on his head, with one arm around Bai Yu's neck and the other holding a wine glass.

"Hey! Where are you two?"

"Um...we had lunch at the restaurant of the senior student from Longdan, called...Chunguoting."

With a smile, Zheng Yi asked, "Is it delicious?"

"I don't know. I just got here. When we went to Shuchiin, Yuno took the two of us to the rooftop of Shuchiin to make a comparison."

Hearing this, Bai Yu smiled and said, "It's Shi Yu, isn't it..."

"Yes! It's Shiyu. The contrast is too obvious. You can't see Shiyu at all."

"Hmm, I think I've got it. Hey, you guys can ask the people at the restaurant if they know it, and if you calculate the distance, you'll know how far it's spread."

Rindou Kobayashi nodded and said, "We understand, but what about you and Masayoshi...?"

Zhengyi laughed and said, "Let's drink. To be honest, this sushi is really good."

"I know you guys are drinking, but why are you two acting like brothers?"

"Isn't this proof of a good relationship? Besides, I'm probably the only one in the family who's like this. That's what makes us special, and only the special are remembered."

Yuuko Ichihara said irritably, "You innocent girl, talking to the two of us like this?"

"Um... Boss! Another serving of conger eel, please!"

"it is good!"

Yuko Ichihara and Rindou Kobayashi both rolled their eyes. It was obvious that Zhengyi had changed the subject again. Rindou Kobayashi propped his face up with a smile and said, "Shiraha, which sushi are you eating? It looks pretty good."

"Kawamura Sushi is quite famous in Tokyo."
