People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Top-quality women all have their own natural fragrance, and I am clearly such a woman. There's no need to envy me. Hai Meng, you are such a woman too, no... girl."

Kitagawa Kaimu blushed but was still very happy. Zdarada held a makeup brush, with one arm around Kitagawa Kaimu's neck and the other hand skillfully brushing on Kitagawa Kaimu's face.

"Wow... Sister Zdada! You're amazing! Your drawing is so even."

Zdelada chuckled and said, "Sister Zdelada... Haimeng is really a good girl... But I would be very happy if Marina could call me that too."

Kitagawa Kaimu said with a puzzled look, "Yeah... it seems like Marina-nee-san has never called you 'older sister'..."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zdelada's eyes, but he still said softly, "Her? She may never call me 'sister,' but if she did, I would find it very strange."

"Is that so? But Zdada, you still care about Marina, don't you?"

"Huh? Me? I care about her? Don't be ridiculous, my silly sister, I really..."

Before Zdada could finish speaking, Kitagawa Kaimu said with a laugh, "But, Zdada-nee, you've never been referring to Marina-nee's name, you've always been calling her my sister... even though you've added an adjective."

Zdelada sighed and said, "Well... after all, she's my own sister, and you don't know how stupid she is. She just locks herself in her room and plays those silly games, and she's always drinking vodka. There's no way to talk to her properly; she won't listen."

"Pfft... So Zdada, you really are a siscon."

Zdelada paused for a moment and said, "Huh? Sibling complex? Don't joke around. You'd be more like a husband-complex person. I prefer my future husband to my sister."

"Isn't it because Marina is with you?"

Zdelada paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Are all kids these days so quick-witted?"

"Really? It must be that you, Zdada, never intended to hide it at all. You've always cared for Marina, haven't you? Zdada, you're such a siscon! Marina is too, she's such a tsundere! She still listens to you a lot!"

"Really? If she had listened to me, she would have quit that stupid game a long time ago."

"Hmm... Sister Nazdrada, you didn't restrict Sister Marina either...."

"That's true... um? What are you trying to say?"

Kitagawa Kaimu asked in confusion, "Zdara-nee, Yuko-nee quit smoking and drinking to prepare for pregnancy, what about you? Aren't you trying to get pregnant?"

Zdelada casually said, "I smoke simply because it's boring, and smoking and drinking are useless to me. Besides, if they were useful, I could wait until Yuko gets pregnant before trying to conceive."

"Oh... I never imagined you'd be such a mother, Zdelada."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because of the way you and Marina get along, it's hard for me to imagine how you treat children."

Zdelada waved his hand and said, "Huh? Comparing a sister to one's own child? Of course, the treatment is different, right?"

"I see... Eh? Sister Zdada, you still haven't told me why you came to find me."

"Me? I just wanted to confirm what the pattern was. I guessed one yesterday but didn't say anything, right? (whispering)"

Kitagawa Kaimu swallowed hard and said, "Zdara-nee, you're really amazing... But please don't tell anyone! Otherwise, I'll be in big trouble!"

"I know, I know, I won't tell anyone. Okay, it's finished. What do you think?"

"Wow! So beautiful! No wonder she's Zdarada."

"If only Marina were this well-behaved..."

"So...is this your wish, Sister Zdada?"

"My wish? My wish for her... I just want to hear her call me 'sister'... Ha... How ironic..."

Kitagawa Kaimu looked at Zdada, who had a wry smile on his face, and said firmly, "It definitely will! Even if Marina doesn't say it, she will consider you her closest older sister!"

"Heh...not very realistic, but it sounds quite interesting."

"My sixth sense is very accurate!"

"is it?"

"Of course!"

While they were chatting, Marina, who was standing at the door, left with a blank expression. However, it was unclear what she was thinking or what she was feeling.

Kasugano Sora was very happy. Someone accompanied her in the morning. From only Gasai Yuno before, she now had Kitagawa Kaimu as well.

Even though it's only Monday, it's still a very happy day. Besides, Mondays are supposed to be a day with a debuff, so this action can make Kasugano Sora happy for a whole week.

Kitagawa Kaimu, Kasugano Sora, and Gasai Yuno parted ways one by one. In the other classroom, Hori Kyoko was looking at the vocabulary cards in her hand.

"Kyoko!"

"Yuki, you scared me! What happened?"

Yoshikawa Yuki waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. But Kyoko, you seem to be in a good mood today. Do you have a boyfriend? Manager Shiraha?"

Hori Kyoko blushed and said irritably, "Yuki! You silly girl! What boyfriend?! My grades aren't even stable yet, I'm not considering anything like that!"

Nanami Nami, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "So, Kyoko, are you saying you'll confess to Manager Shiraha once your grades stabilize?"

"Pfft..." x2

Kyoko Hori, her face flushed, said, "What do you mean, 'Manager Shiraha'?! Honestly! You two started this first thing this morning!"

Nanami Fukami laughed and said, "Well, don't be so serious, Kyoko. You probably haven't noticed, but you treat other boys and Shiraha completely differently, right, Aoi?"

Aoi Hinami put down the eraser, nodded, and said, "That's right, Kyoko does have a very good relationship with Manager Shiraha. It seems that besides her uncle, Manager Shiraha is the only one who makes Kyoko feel so at ease and even calls her by her first name."

Kyoko Hori's lips twitched, and she sighed, saying, "Although I don't really want to admit it, but... Aoi, you're right, Manager Shiraha is the only man besides Kyosuke who calls me by my name..."

Yuuki Asuna thought for a moment and said, "More than anything, I'm concerned about... Kyoko. You didn't seem to object today. Could it be that you've really fallen for her?"

Nanami and the others were also taken aback. Hori Kyoko thought for a moment and said, "My mother and I talked a lot yesterday... and then I kept thinking about it all night... I can only say... I don't dislike Manager Shiraha, and... it seems I do like him a little..."

"Eh?!" x4

Yuuki Asuna and the others were stunned. Goodness, they were suddenly so frank. It was a bit unexpected. But that wasn't the key point. The key point was that for a moment, they seemed to have a strange feeling.

Aoi Hinami asked in confusion, "What did your auntie say to you?"

Kyoko Hori didn't intend to hide anything and just said it directly. Nanami and the others were silent for a moment. After thinking for a moment, Kyoko Hori said, "I don't know if I like Manager Shiraha... but..."

"I was thinking all night that if Manager Shiraha were my boyfriend, I wouldn't feel any dislike or resistance at all... But right now, improving my grades is the priority, isn't it?"

"Hmm..." x4

Asuna and the others nodded, but it was obvious they all had their own thoughts. Kyoko Hori paused for a moment before saying with amusement, "Aoi, it's finally my turn to ask...you..."

Hinami Aoi pointed to herself and said, "You're asking me if I like Store Manager Shiraha? Please, I said a long time ago that I quite like Store Manager Shiraha. Having Store Manager Shiraha as a boyfriend would be great, don't you remember?"

"Forehead...."

Yoshikawa Yuki said with a smile, "Kyoko...you and Aoi are way too far apart in skill level. But Aoi, were you serious when you said that before? You don't actually like Manager Shiraha, do you?"

"Hmm? Liking someone is liking someone, there's no such thing as real or fake. But it depends on what kind of liking it is. Anyway, I don't object to Shop Manager Bai Yu becoming my boyfriend. Compared to all this... Shen Shishi, your sudden silence is making me feel very lost."

Nanami Fukami chuckled and said, "Huh? Me? I'm alright, I don't really have that many thoughts about it, after all, I still need to improve my score, right?"

Kyoko Hori tilted her head and said, "Compared to others calling me by my name directly, Fukami... your very intimate way of addressing me seems to be used only by one man, Manager Shiraha..."

A hint of panic flashed in Nanami's eyes as she coughed lightly and said, "Well, after all, Manager Shiraha is a very nice person, isn't he?"

Aoi Hinami glanced at Yuki Yoshikawa, who tilted her head and said, "Me? I don't even know what it's like to like someone! You can ask me, but I don't know either."

"Tsk... Asuna, Akina..."

Aoi Hinami looked at Yuki Yoshikawa with a helpless expression. Finally, she looked at Asuna Yuuki, the most suspicious person, only to find that Asuna was actually in a daze.

Yuki Yoshikawa scratched her head and leaned closer, saying, "Asuna! What's wrong?"

"Huh? I...I'm fine. I was just thinking, so Kyoko, Auntie really did have that thought."

Kyoko Hori nodded and said, "Mom was very direct. She did have that idea, but she respects my choice. That's why I'm seriously considering this issue. Asuna, are you still struggling with it?"

"Um..."

"Why don't you just ask your aunt directly? Even if she doesn't admit it, you'll still be able to see some clues, and then you'll know how to think about these things."

"Huh? Ask Mom... How do I ask her...?"

"That's up to you. But personally, I think it's best not to think too much about it right now. Focus on improving your grades first, and then you can consider other things once you've stabilized."

"Um..."

Chapter 399 Zoro and Nami's Conversation, Esdeath's Orders (Please Subscribe~)

Asuna Yuuki was still struggling with her feelings, while Kyoko Hori felt quite relaxed, as if she had released her emotions. However, Aoi Hinami and the others seemed to be preoccupied with their own thoughts.

Well... except for Yuki Yoshikawa, because she genuinely doesn't know what it feels like to like someone, so even if she were to fall in love one day, she'd probably be completely clueless.

At noon, Kitagawa Kaimu came to find them with a bento box, but there was an extra one with some dishes inside. Kitagawa Kaimu and Shiraha had requested it, saying they wanted to eat with Asuna and the others.

None of them felt envious or jealous; they were all happy that Kitagawa Kaimu could finally relax a bit and that someone was taking care of her. Kitagawa Kaimu was especially touched.

Kitagawa Kaimu didn't actually move in on Fridays. Sometimes she was too lazy to cook, so she would stay at the shop. Of course, it was mainly Kasugano Sora and the others who invited her to come over, and Kitagawa Kaimu didn't refuse.

Time flew by, and Soraka and Akali came twice during this time. Soraka reported her actions to Bai Yu as if giving a report, and Bai Yu was generous with his praise, making Soraka extremely happy. She even declared that she would not let herself down and would become a woman worthy of Bai Yu.

Akali didn't say much; she just chatted with Bai Yu after dinner, talking about everything. It's worth mentioning that Lucifer tossed Akali a cell phone, which surprised her for a moment, but after getting used to it, she said it was very convenient.

However, what no one knew was that Akali stayed up all night reading all of Bai Yu's updates, and then she suddenly realized that her fiancé seemed to suit her tastes even better than she had thought.

Akali had become quite familiar with Lucifer and the others, but she still hadn't taken off her mask, and no one had ever seen Akali's face. However, they all knew that Akali had a very delicate and petite face.

Lux and the others didn't say much, continuing their magic practice, eating, drinking, and chatting. Fiona, on the other hand, continued to seek guidance from Bai Yu, but failed every time. However, Bai Yu wasn't sure if he was mistaken, but he seemed to see longing in Fiona's eyes...

Yuuki Asuna didn't ask, or rather, she wanted to ask but had her own time, so she didn't speak. Tohru and Kobayashi also came twice, and Tohru really did bring a small notebook to ask Shiraha about cooking, making Tohru look like she had learned something.

It's worth mentioning that Saitama actually came over this week, still with Genos. He said he'd been having a lot of fun fighting monsters in the no man's land lately, so he had a lot of money and wanted to treat himself to some better food. He also planned to buy some discounted groceries at the supermarket later.

Hawkeye, Zoro, and Perona also came. Zoro and Fiona had a match, but because of Zoro's passive ability to completely resist the bleeding debuff, he had no intention of continuing the match. However, Hawkeye even acknowledged his skill and insight.

Fiona and Hawkeye also sparred once, and Fiona was completely defeated. Hawkeye came to compete with Bai Yu because he had gained some insights, but he was still no match for him. This further strengthened Fiona's determination to become stronger.

Perona got to know Lucifer and the others well, especially Lacus. The two seemed to have a lot in common, and Lacus's questions gave Perona a sense of accomplishment. But that wasn't the key point. The key point was that Perona saw Remilia and Flandre, and Perona, who loved dolls, decisively became friends with them.

Although he was a little panicked after learning that they were powerful vampires and monsters, another thing was that Zoro and Nami had a talk, but no one knows what they talked about.

Lucifer and the others only knew that Zoro was still the same as before, while Nami's eyes were a little red. Zoro even said, "Didn't we agree on this a long time ago? Luffy and the others will understand! Cheer up!"

Nami simply nodded and left. Perona, unusually, didn't argue with Zoro, because Zoro, who seemed normal at first glance, actually had a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Today is Friday, and yes, Kitagawa Umimu and Erina have come again. But that's not the key point. The key point is the scene in a large hall on the other side.

At that moment, a blue-haired girl in military uniform was quietly watching the sunset outside the window. It was Esdeath. Suddenly, the door opened, and Kurohime walked in.

Esdeath said softly, "Kuro-tomi, you'll be fully recovered tomorrow. Is there anything you want to do? You don't need to say anything if you want to kill Akame."

Black Eyes said softly, "I...I don't know what I want to do..."

"Really? That's normal, though. To be honest, Kurohime, do you know how excited I am right now?"

"Because Captain, you're going to see your lover and sisters?"

"That's right... This time I will give the Reform Army a month to reach the capital. If they fail, then the Peerless Legion should be ready to stand by."

Kuroko asked in confusion, "A month? Why a month?"

"Because after that I will be going out for about half a month. During this time, I will be away from here. When I come back, I want to see a perfectly organized and truly invincible legion that can deal with any war!"

Kuroko paused for a moment before asking in confusion, "Captain, where are you going?"

"Where to? To go on vacation."

"Uh-huh?"

Even Kurohime was somewhat stunned. What the heck? She thought you were going on official business, but it turns out you're going on vacation? We're about to fight our way to the capital, and you're going on vacation?! Seriously?

Esdeath said softly, "You heard me right, it's just what you thought. I'm going on vacation with my lover and sisters to discuss our future. But don't worry, when I come back, there will be no more wars in the world..."

Kurohime paused for a moment, looking at Esdeath with a puzzled expression. Esdeath said softly, "That's settled then, Kurohime. Go and make the arrangements. From now on, the Musou Legion, the Hunters, and the Three Beast Warriors are all to remain silent. Anyone who dares to make a move, leave, or leak information will be killed!"

"Someone has come to deliver the order: kill everyone except me!"

"Someone has harmed the people and buildings of my territory! Kill them!"

"Someone disobeyed orders! Kill them!"
