People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Najenda said in a deep voice, "So... you want to control all the power and concentrate all the authority on those you trust... typical of your thinking..."

"So, Najenda... your assassination squad, and the same question from the beginning... do you want to be my enemy? You just need to answer, yes or no..."

Mine knew very well that this answer would determine the final fate of the Night Raid. Najenda closed her eyes for a long time before looking at the ceiling, letting out a sigh, and softly saying, "I don't want..."

Esdeath grinned and said softly, "It's a pleasure doing business with you..."

"It's a pleasure doing business with you..."

Chapter 420 The Healed Black Eyes, the Magic of Love (Please Subscribe~)

Looking at Najenda's calm expression, Mine knew very well that from this moment on, Night Raid was Esdeath's collaborator, or rather, Esdeath's subordinate.

She could already imagine how furious Lubbock and Brand would be after they learned about the Reform Army, but Mine had to admit that Esdeath's policies were incredibly appealing to them.

Furthermore, Esdeath possesses the strength and courage to do so. Most importantly, they witnessed the life depicted in the video, and seeing is believing—a statement that provides a greater sense of security compared to the previous misleading promises about the future.

Esdeath said softly, "Very good... Najenda, you have finally returned to my team."

Najenda sighed and said, "I didn't expect it either... but you've changed so much..."

"If I had to put it into words... the power of love?"

Mine and Najendan both twitched at the corners of their eyes. Strangely, they were now relieved. They had already sensed that something was wrong, and now this gave them the most direct evidence.

This evidence shattered the last thread of their taut nerves, and everything exploded because of it. But after the explosion, there was no more; they stopped thinking about anything else. Everything had happened, they all changed jobs, and most importantly, they had new goals.

Yukari Yakumo, propping her chin on her hand, said, "Esdeath, you really surprised me. To be honest, there was absolutely no way to resist your process just now."

"Hmm? Isn't this a reasonable procedure? And everything I said is true."

Eirin Yagokoro said softly, "The problem lies precisely here. It's because every word you say is true that it's so cruel."

Esdeath waved her hand and said, "Without experiencing cruel realities, you can't grow or see things clearly. Speaking of which... Eirin, you're a pharmacist, right?"

Eirin Yagokoro paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yeah, what's wrong? Do you need anything?"

"No, no, no, does that mean you can diagnose illnesses? Help me see how badly this girl is doing."

Kurohime stared blankly at Esdeath. Eirin Yagokoro didn't say anything, but walked over to look at Kurohime before frowning and grabbing her hand.

Just as Kurohime was about to do something, she heard Esdeath say softly, "A thousand of you combined wouldn't be a match for her, and you wouldn't be able to make her take it seriously. She's my sister too, Kurohime, so don't resist."

Kurohime nodded and stared blankly at Eirin Yagokoro. After a long while, Eirin Yagokoro finally said softly, "What happened? Why are your bodily functions damaged like this... Esdeath, what's going on?"

After Esdeath gave a brief explanation, Eirin Yagokoro said in a deep voice, "Bastard... how could you do something so cruel to such a young child! How do you feel now?"

Black Eyes said softly, "I feel uncomfortable and in pain all over my body, does that count?"

As Kurohime spoke, she ate something that looked like a snack. Eirin Yagokoro was taken aback for a moment before asking in confusion, "What are you eating?"

"It's a snack, but I won't share it with you..."

Esdeath said softly, "This is a medicine that can temporarily suppress Kurome's condition."

Eirin Yagokoro narrowed her eyes and took one directly. Kuromeko still looked at Eirin Yagokoro expressionlessly. After smelling it, Eirin Yagokoro said softly, "It can only suppress it, but once there is enough resistance, it will be useless."

"That's why Kuroko has been eating more and more lately."

Najendan asked in a deep voice, "Can it be treated?"

Esdeath chuckled and said, "Your allegiance has changed really quickly. You've already learned to care about Kurome in such a short time?"

"It's not just that, the key thing is... Akame cares a lot about it."

Esdeath chuckled but didn't say anything. Eirin Yagokoro said softly, "It can be easily treated. Both Soraka and Lucy can be easily dealt with. As for me, I'll need some time to prepare some special medicine. It's simple, no problem."

Akali blinked, a rare look of anticipation in her eyes. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said softly, "Lady Soraka probably won't be able to come today, and Lux ​​and the others probably won't be able to either, so we can only rely on you guys."

Esdeath glanced at Lucifer, who simply sighed and said, "I'm really impressed with you. You really know how to apply what you've learned... Alright."

"Yes, that's called the rational use of resources."

"Okay... all done?!" x2

Najenda and Mine both looked on in disbelief. Kurohime also paused for a moment, poked her arm, and then said softly, "I feel so relaxed... I don't feel any pain or discomfort anymore... What happened?"

"Using magic to make a round is nothing. Since Esdeath brought you here, she trusts you a lot and considers you one of her own. There's no need to treat it as a transaction..."

Yuuko Ichihara said irritably, "You guys from hell have all escaped, collectively skipping work. What are you still trading for now!"

Lucifer said irritably, "These are the rules of the profession, you know?"

"I don't know, hey, Yumiko replied!"

"Make a call right now!"

"Huh! Eh? Yumiko called!"

"Call it! What are you standing there for!"

"Oh!"

Najenda said blankly, "Magic is really convenient..."

Esdeath thought for a moment and said, "Life here is basically just ordinary. There's hardly any opportunity to use magic. It's mostly just for the convenience of daily life."

Mine swallowed hard and said, "But it's healed already... Didn't Akame say it was incurable? Magic is truly amazing..."

"I don't object to that. Besides... maybe I'll take you around the world someday..."

"Um...it's hard to believe you could say something like that..."

"I've said it... it's probably the magic of love..."

"Uh..." x2

Chapter 421 Najendan's Reflections: How Ironic! (Please Subscribe~)

On the other side, Lucifer and Yuko Ichihara each took an earphone and chatted with Yumiko. However, after a while, Yuko Ichihara exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?! Really?!"

"Oh... Auntie, that's really something... We hadn't thought of that..."

"Of course we need to discuss this! It's extremely important!"

"Hmm, hmm?! So, Yumiko, you decided to represent one person at a time and then go research? I know Lucy is a Westerner, but what are you and me, Yumiko?"

"Eh? If you're Japanese... then I'm Chinese? Okay then, I'll figure it out before summer vacation."

After a long while, Lucifer finally breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone and said, "I didn't expect this at all. I really didn't expect this problem. As expected of Yumiko and Auntie... experienced people really know how to handle things."

Yuko Ichihara nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, indeed. As far as I know, this is the outfit. It's definitely different."

Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "Let's investigate tomorrow. We need to discuss this properly today."

"Okay! I'll check with WGO tomorrow, and since I have plenty of time, I can watch more videos."

"Ok!"

Yukari Yakumo asked in confusion, "What is it? It's so mysterious."

Yuko Ichihara waved her hand and said, "You remember, right? Shiraha went to meet his parents, he went to Yumiko's house."

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "So, what were you discussing that day?"

“That’s right. Your aunt made a suggestion, saying that... there are Westerners and Japanese in the family, but Bai Yu seems to be from China, so the style of the wedding is very important, you understand?”

Eirin Yagokoro both nodded in understanding. Yukari Yakumo narrowed her eyes and said, "It is indeed very important. I remember there are quite a few points of conflict between them, so... we really should have a proper discussion about it."

Lucifer nodded and said, "That's right, and you've all noticed, haven't you? Bai Yu really likes the Chinese New Year, so... I don't know what he's thinking, but asking him is definitely not a realistic question."

As they were talking, they saw Bai Yu pushing a food cart out. Hei Tong had recovered, but she was hungry, and not just a little hungry...

Bai Yu said gently, "It seems you've resolved the issue?"

"Yes, I've always been in control, but if you've been any later, Kurohime would probably have starved to death."

Hei Tong nodded without denying it, and Bai Yu smiled and said, "It seems your body has recovered."

"Hmm...Hmm? How did you know?"

"I can tell you're much more relaxed than before, and you're not eating those snacks as much anymore. As a chef, I'm very sensitive to the taste of food. That dessert wasn't just sweet, so it must be some kind of special medicine."

Black Eyes nodded blankly, while White Feather smiled and shook his head without saying anything. He then arranged the dishes on the food cart one by one, and even Najenda was attracted by the aroma.

"Maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot), then Miss Najenda's Mapo Tofu, Miss Kurohime's Cherry Pork, Miss Mine's Fish-Flavored Eggplant Strips, and finally, Fuqi Feipian (a type of Sichuan-style beef and offal soup). Also, a few drinks. If you need more rice or refills, just call me anytime. And Miss Kurohime and Miss Mine, here's your juice."

Mine paused for a moment and said, "I didn't order juice."

"I can tell you're not here to drink, so these two bottles are for Esdeath and this Miss Najenda. Neither of you looks like you like drinking, so please enjoy. Also, Kurohime, your body has only just recovered, so I didn't add too much ice."

Kuroto nodded without saying anything. After Shirayu left, Kuroto picked up the bowl and looked at the various dishes in front of him, his eyes practically gleaming with greed.

Bai Yu wasn't idle either. After ordering from Yakumo Yukari and the others, she left. Esdeath chuckled and said, "It's been a long time since I've enjoyed life... Give it a try. This isn't a cooking skill you can learn just by studying."

Najendam sighed and said, "I really don't know how you could have a man like that... but he's really considerate, isn't he, Mine?"

"Huh? Huh... Huh?! What's wrong?"

Najenda smiled and shook her head. Mine had been completely lost in thought, but no one knew what she was thinking. Mine quickly turned her head back, picked up her chopsticks, looked at the dishes on the table, and swallowed.

Teigu users naturally have a much larger appetite than ordinary people. Even without their Teigu, their physical condition is still much better than that of ordinary people, so they naturally need to eat more.

Kurohime glanced at Esdeath, who smiled, shook her head, and said softly, "Eat, you don't need to look at me like that."

"Mmmmmmm!"

"Mmm...this is so delicious!"

Upon hearing Kurohime's comment, Esdeath simply poured herself a glass of wine. The enticing aroma also caught Najenda's eye, and after pouring herself a glass, she said softly, "Such fragrant wine. Is this the peach blossom wine?"

"That's right, it's brewed by Baiyu. Give it a try, it tastes much better than the wine back home..."

Najendam sighed, chuckled, and shook her head, saying, "How ironic... Back then, I led my troops away from your legion, only to be hunted down by you alone, who wiped out the entire army, leaving only me, Lubbock, and a few remnants to escape."

"Heh... I remember that day my arm and eye disappeared. Logically speaking, I was doing it for my ideals and I also had hatred for you, but... it turned out the other way around... I ended up following an even more despicable guy."

"Now...after going around in circles, I'm back on your side, even drinking and eating at the same table...how ironic...how ironic..."

Esdeath said softly, "Irony? Well, I guess. It just means I'm still very strong, strong enough that... I can control everything... It's that simple."

Najenda sighed as she looked at Esdeath's raised glass before clinking her own glass against hers and saying softly, "No...you're getting more and more complicated...cheers."

"Cheers~"

Chapter 422 A Busy Month, Unemployed Person Yakumo Yukari (Please Subscribe~)

Mine could listen to Esdeath and Najenda's conversation, but Kurome didn't listen at all; she was only focused on eating, especially since she had never tasted such delicious food before.

Whether it's the numbing spiciness and savory aroma of Maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot) that makes it so delicious and appetizing, or the various vegetables, meatballs, meat, and other ingredients, the moment a little bit of red oil falls on the rice, you know that this is definitely not your average rice-eating dish.

Maocai is a hot pot for one, a feast for the lonely. You can add anything, as long as they don't conflict with each other. The numbing spiciness of the pot, along with the unique freshness of the ingredients, makes everything you pick up a favorite.

Not only that, but there's also eggplant that's slightly crispy yet still tender after being stir-fried; this is called Yu Xiang Eggplant Strips.

Fish-fragrant sauce, as mentioned before, is a perfect blend of five flavors: sour, sweet, salty, spicy, and savory. This flavor, combined with the eggplant strips that are so easy to absorb, makes the eggplant itself seem to have the words "good with rice" written on it.

Imagine that tender and delicious eggplant placed on top of fragrant rice. Just take a bite, and oh! It's so delicious! In the world, apart from vegetarians, most people would prefer meat.

But vegetarian dishes can't be completely absent, right? There have to be some dishes that taste even better than meat dishes. Fish-flavored eggplant strips are naturally at the top level. People who like meat like them, and people who like vegetarians like them too. Because, you know, dishes that go well with rice are generally not bad.

They may not have a pretty appearance, or even be very presentable on a plate, but the saying "a heavy sword has no edge, great skill is simple" still holds true. They may not be very refined, but they are delicious and fragrant, so what can you do about it? Cooking is all about eating, and what matters is that you can eat it and find it delicious.

That's why the Mapo Tofu next door is so highly regarded. How do you plate Mapo Tofu? At most, the container might look nice, that's all. But this bubbling, spicy, fresh, soft, and delicious Mapo Tofu looks incredibly appetizing.

The bubbling, bright red broth contains beautiful, white tofu cubes, making it a perfect accompaniment to rice. And needless to say, the ever-popular cherry pork on the side is equally delicious.

This dish is as beautiful as a gemstone, and with its sweet, sour, salty and savory flavor, it's not just for girls; it's a dish that all ages love. It's also a great choice to eat with rice.

Kurohime hadn't even swallowed her first bite before her chopsticks were already on the table, and Mine reacted similarly. It was rare for Mine to eat like this; she couldn't help it, it was just too delicious, and she was also a little hungry.

Delicious, only delicious can describe it. Kuroko immediately raised her hand and said, "Mr. Shirayu! Another bowl of rice! Hmm... Mr. Shirayu isn't here... Captain..."

Esdeath said softly, "Just go by yourself, don't be so reserved. Just treat it as if you're visiting my home."

"Oh!"
