People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Inoue Mamoru paused for a moment, then said softly, "These schools are indeed very strong, which is why they're so interesting to watch?"

"No, no, no, it's simply because of the special circumstances this year... These middle school kids have grown up too much."

"What do you mean, sir? Do you have some information?"

"Everything will be revealed after the National Tournament. I'm really looking forward to the match between Seigaku and Rikkai."

Inoue Mamoru paused for a moment and said, "You mean Seigaku can make it to the finals of the Kanto Tournament or even the National Tournament and face the reigning champion Rikkai University?"

"Competition is interesting precisely because it's full of uncertainty. There are eight matches today, two for Seigaku and two for St. Rudolph, so... it's really interesting. It's finally here."

Inoue Mamoru turned his head and saw the familiar blue and white tracksuit. When he saw Shiro, the Seigaku members were all stunned. They had been very impressed by Shiro's terrifying strength before.

Tezuka Kunimitsu walked over and said softly, "Shiraha-nii, you've come to watch the match."

"Of course, after all, you might be able to see the whole thing. Guoguang, you're very lucky."

"Brother Baiyu, what you're saying is... that Seigaku won't run into Hyotei?"

Bai Yu glanced at Ryuzaki Sumire to the side and smiled, saying, "Coach Ryuzaki, you'll understand what I mean if you study the match schedule chart carefully."

As they were talking, Inui Sadaharu said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Shiraha, you're probably referring to Ginka and Fudomine's positions in the competition, right?"

"As expected of someone who plays intelligence tennis, their reaction is quite quick."

Tezuka Kunimitsu paused for a moment and said, "Brother Shiraha, are you talking about Hyotei's characteristics?"

"The probability is not small, and Tezuka... you probably don't want to leave so soon either."

Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded and said, "That's right. Before, because there were so many schools, the sudden appearance of a metropolitan tournament preliminaries gave many schools confidence. As expected of Shiraha-nii..."

"Then go and play well, after all, something interesting might happen this year..."

"understood."

As Bai Yu spoke, he glanced at Echizen Ryoma, who was staring at him intently, and smiled, saying, "Did you receive the racket?"

"Received it... The quality is much better than the previous one."

"Well, that's good."

After hesitating for a moment, Echizen Ryoma said softly, "You seem to know a lot of things?"

"For example?"

"All."

"Oh...you'll find out eventually, but not now. You're still a long way off..."

Being teased with his own catchphrase, Echizen Ryoma's eyes twitched. "Good, this guy's got a knack for it," he thought. Shiraha said gently, "You...you have quite the eyes, aren't you? Like a samurai's eyes..."

Ryoma Echizen paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and said softly, "It seems... we do have a chance to compete again."

Bai Yu said gently, "Then good luck to you guys. Xiao Qiong, Yuno, Hai Meng, go buy some drinks, and come back later to watch."

"Okay!" x3

After Shiraha left, Kikumaru Eiji said with some emotion, "Fuji, your brother-in-law really has the air of a master."

"Brother Bai Yu has always been like this, but he will say what he needs to say. He just likes to see the surprised expression on the person involved when something interesting happens."

Momoshiro Takeshi said with a helpless expression, "I think I know who you learned your cunning from, Fuji-senpai."

"Huh? I don't think so..."

Tezuka Kunimitsu breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Let's go, it's time to set off."

"Yes!"xn

Inoue Mamoru was stunned. Who was that man just now? Thinking of this, Inoue Mamoru quickly called out to Coach Ryuzaki.

"Huh? Mr. Inoue, you're here too."

"Hmm, I'd like to know who that man was? He said he only knows a little tennis and is somewhat interested in it, but I saw... and he also mentioned samurai? Could it be Mr. Nanjiro?"

Ryuzaki Sumire smiled and shook her head, saying, "Him? He's Fuji's brother-in-law, and someone Tezuka respects. As for the fact that he only knows a little tennis... well, let's just say..."

"what?"

"His skills are so good that even Echizen Nanjiro has to go all out to deal with him. Echizen's racket was broken by this kid's shot a while ago, but the net didn't break. Do you know what that means?"

"This... terrifying power and precision..."

"Mr. Inoue, the match is about to begin, you should go and take notes."

"Okay...okay! Got it!"

Bai Yu and the other three really did go to buy drinks. Bai Yu leaned against the vending machine and said softly, "That gaze was really something... the gaze of a samurai..."

Kasugano Sora said with a hint of helplessness, "Brother Shiraha, I always feel like this guy named Echizen Ryoma really wants to challenge you."

"So he still has a long way to go. Also, are you here to watch the match? I remember your name is... Tachibana..."

Kitagawa Kaimu and the others turned around and saw a black-haired boy in casual clothes with a buzz cut. It was none other than Tachibana Kichihei, the captain of Fudomine.

At this moment, Tachibana Yoshihira said with a somewhat complicated expression, "I remember you're Fuji's brother-in-law, aren't you?"

"Didn't expect I'd be remembered for this identity? Oh well... The competition's about to start, aren't you going to go watch?"

“There’s no need to rush. I’d like to know what kind of match you’d like to see? I’ve noticed for a while that you seem to only watch certain very special matches, right?”

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "What match are you going to watch... The match between Fudomine and Hyotei is in a couple of days. If nothing unexpected happens, I think I'll be very interested in watching it. Now you know what I mean."

Kichihei Tachibana nodded and left. Kitagawa Kaimu said疑惑地, "Manager Shiraha, what are you talking about? What's with this 'want to see what match' thing... it sounds weird..."

Yuno Gasai said softly, "What Shiraha means is that he likes to watch any interesting match that might have unexpected twists and turns. Do you remember when you analyzed that Hyotei might lose because they were too arrogant?"

"Oh! I understand...."

While they were chatting, Esdeath had already brought Najenda and Mine back. Yes, she brought them back; Esdeath had come along with them.

As for Kurome, Esdeath threw her back, not because Kurome couldn't see Akame, but simply because Kurome wanted to find a place to properly enjoy the snacks she had just received.

At this moment, everyone in the night raid had different expressions. Some people looked at the documents in their hands over and over again, some people closed their eyes, clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, and some people looked blank.

Lubbock exclaimed in disbelief, "Boss! Is this real?! Those guys... bastards!"

Najendan said in a deep voice, "That's right, you can completely believe that. We also have the simplest way to prove it, don't we? Putting aside the fact that the evidence is indeed real, just take this secret order for example. Chelsea only needs to put on a little makeup to find out about it."

Chelsea gritted his teeth and said, "These guys... they've been lying to everyone all along! These bastards became like this the moment they got power and status! Bastards! Liars!"

To everyone's surprise, Flander remained silent throughout. Mine clenched her fist and said, "We were together the whole time, there was nothing wrong, and both the Boss and I can guarantee the authenticity of this evidence..."

Esdeath sat to the side, watching with an air of detached amusement. Flander said in a deep voice, "That's right, this person does like to stroke his beard when he's happy. I noticed this when I first joined the Reform Army, along with many other details. This evidence is probably genuine..."

Even Flander said so, and Lubbock slammed his fist on the table, shouting, "These scumbags! Boss! What are we supposed to do?! Are we supposed to keep working for them and then get hunted down in the end?!"

Najenda shook her head and said, "No... Esdeath is still watching from the sidelines. You should know what I mean..."

Akame said in a deep voice, "So Night Raid now belongs to Esdeath?"

Najenda shook her head and said, "No, it's still a night raid, but we will cooperate with Esdeath for the purpose of removing the corrupt empire, darkness, and oppression from the people, just as we said at the beginning."

Lubbock said in a deep voice, "So... how exactly will the cooperation work?"

Najendan walked to the map and said softly, "The Reform Army is now marching towards the capital, and our mission is roughly divided into four steps."

"The first step is to deal with the Wild Hounds and seize the Imperial Arms. I believe you don't want to hand over the Imperial Arms to those scum to train their suicide soldiers anymore."

"Hmm!" xn

"The second step is to continue hunting down the nobles of the underworld; we cannot let the nobles of the capital feel safe."

"Hmm!" xn

"The third step is that Esdeath and I have discussed it. Ernest must have a Teigu that makes him unafraid of Teigu users, but this is unknown. So we need to find out exactly what this Teigu is!"

Chelsea asked doubtfully, "How do we scout? Should I go?"

“No, the death of the Wild Hound would be very disadvantageous for Ernest and his men. In order to survive, he would bring in people from the Imperial Fist Temple and various Imperial Guards. Esdeath would also send the Three Beasts to protect him.”

"At that time, I will report to the Reform Army and say that the next step is to assassinate Ernest. This way, there is a high chance that the capital will surrender without a fight. The guys in the Reform Army will definitely be happy to see this situation."

Lubbock suddenly realized and said, "The Three Beast Warriors are Esdeath's subordinates. Ordinary soldiers are no match for us, but we can apply to the Reform Army for a Teigu user with offensive capabilities to help us assassinate Honest and use him to test Honest!"

"That's right. If he succeeds in the assassination, we, along with the Three Beast Warriors, can kill that person instantly, reducing the number of Teigu held by those high-ranking members of the Reform Army. If the assassination fails, we will know the function of his Teigu, and the Teigu of the person who failed in the assassination will fall into Ernest's hands."

“Ernest has no one he can trust anymore. He should know this very well if the Three Beasts resisted us. If Esdeath asks for the Teigu now, it will still end up in our hands. It’s a sure win no matter what. And all of this is on the condition that Wild Hounds must die! Not a single one can be left!”

Everyone nodded in understanding. Najendan said softly, "The final step is the fourth one... You need to be prepared, because time will be very tight..."

"Hmm?"

Lubbock and the others also realized that Esdeath and the other three had indeed discussed a very thorough plan last night, scheming against almost everyone while suffering zero losses, provided that they could withdraw. However, with Esdeath around, it shouldn't be difficult, since there were no more Teigu users.

Flander said in a deep voice, "So far, everything is very well planned. Boss, tell me, what is the final step? We can do it no matter how rushed it is, as long as we don't choose the wrong side this time."

"Flander, you have a surprisingly high level of awareness."

"My original intention has never changed from beginning to end."

Najenda said in a deep voice, "In the fourth step, when the capital is besieged by the Reform Army, General Bud will personally lead the troops to resist. At this time, Esdeath will lead her Musou Legion, the brand new Musou Legion, back from the entire northern and western territories."

Lubbock exclaimed in realization, "Oh, so Esdeath's army will be welcomed into the city as saviors, and then, unexpectedly, they will launch a surprise attack on the capital!"

Everyone was stunned. Esdeath said softly, "That's right! I've expanded the Musou Legion by more than double, and they've all undergone perfect training and rested for several months!"

"With my hunters and myself, as well as my hunters, we can conquer the capital in a flash once we enter the city, before anyone can even react!"

Chelsea said in bewilderment, "Logically speaking, with the defense so open at this point, you should be able to take it down with a strong attack, right?"

"Because I checked the information, the king of the empire has a trump card. I don't know exactly what it is, but it should be the legendary Supreme Imperial Arm. I don't know what its effects and abilities are, so the best way is to wipe them all out when they let their guard down."

Chelsea and the others nodded. It seemed that Esdeath had been preparing for a long time. Akame asked in confusion, "So, what about the Three Beasts?"

Lubbock said softly, "Red Eyes, do you remember what you said before? The Three Beasts were protecting Ernest. If you knew their special abilities, in a state of ecstasy, you could have had them kill Ernest..."

Esdeath nodded and said, "That's right... In a relaxed state, coupled with close-range assassination, knowing the effects of the Imperial Arms, we can find a way to counter it and solve the problem."

Hill blinked and said, "I don't know what happened, but... what should we do?"

Mine said softly, "We need to make a long-distance raid on the Reform Army's headquarters and take care of all these scumbags! But capturing them alive might be even better! So, we'll be in a rush regarding the distance and the battle, because the capital city might be over very quickly."

Lubbock glanced at the map before chuckling and saying, "What do you mean 'in a rush'? This is an extreme rush... Time is indeed a problem. It would be better to set off earlier, but that would mean the Wild Hounds would be dealt with even earlier."

Esdeath said softly, "I will give you some help as appropriate, but in order for the Three Beasts to stay by Ernest's side, the help I can give you will be very limited... However, there is a pretty good way."

"What is it?"

Esdeath glanced at Chelsea, who paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "I understand! You mean I should temporarily replace one of the Hunters, and then you should send a Hunter with offensive capabilities to join the night raid to increase the success rate?"

“That’s right. Ran has too many things to deal with, so you’re not suitable. I’m keeping Bolus to deal with the assassins, so he’s not suitable for this kind of battle either. Kurome isn’t suitable either. I’ll transfer Will to you. Will’s Teigu is very similar to Flander’s, and his combat ability is also very strong. He will be the best choice and the best person to imitate.”

Everyone nodded, and Flander said in a deep voice, "It seems you've been preparing for a long time. If nothing unexpected happens... you shouldn't end up like those guys, right?"

Esdeath said softly, "To be honest, I have no interest in any imperial throne. I just want to give myself more identities so that I can have more attributes in the hearts of my loved ones."

"But you can rest assured... I am different from them. They are exploiting the weak, while I am protecting the weak, because that is what the strong should do. I will tell you what I am going to do, and let Najendan tell you. I have no interest in repeating myself."

Najenda also mentioned some policies from another world that Esdeath had discussed with her, and Lubbock and the others looked on with longing, saying that it was better than what the Reform Army had said.

After a long silence, Chelsea said blankly, "This is truly taking care of the people, but what about the wealthy merchants and nobles...?"

"Therefore, we need a large number of talented people in various departments. So sometimes power is useless; we also need strength to maintain it. This is my final reward for Night Raid: one is the empire you envision, and the other is your continued service to this empire. But..."

Flander said in a deep voice, "But at that time, Night Raid had truly changed hands, right?"

"That's right, all Imperial Arms must be under the Empire's control, understand?"

Flander breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There's nothing more to say at this point. It's clear that you've thought it through carefully, and every step has been meticulous. As long as you can keep your promise, I don't think we'll refuse."

Esdeath chuckled and said, "Very good. Remember, you only have two months to hunt down the Wild Hounds and probe for Ernest's Imperial Arms."

"Will it take that long? The Reform Army isn't..."

"The Reform Army needs to conduct reconnaissance, and you need to hold them off. The reason... isn't just for the smooth running of the plan, but also because I'm going on vacation for more than two weeks, so..."
