People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Huh? Nami? Why are you here so early?"

"Mengmeng, I want to talk to you..."

That's right, Nami found Riven. Riven scratched her head and said in confusion, "Chatting... Okay, I was planning to go downstairs earlier, but since you put it that way, let's chat... Let's go to the balcony, it rained a little last night, the air is really nice."

"Um..."

Chapter 489 Riven's Reflections: Riven: Nami, you tricked me! (Please subscribe~)

Riven poured Nami a glass of water, sat down, took a deep breath, and then stretched, saying, "The air is so fresh. It's a pity, it seems like... it's going to be hot every day after the next rain. It's getting hotter and hotter, and I haven't bought any short-sleeved shirts yet."

"It's not too late to buy this anytime, right?"

"That's true. Hey, Nami, what did you come to talk to me about?"

After hesitating for a moment, Nami whispered, "Mengmeng... I don't know why, but I just feel really anxious..."

"Feeling anxious? Maybe it's because you're taking Bai Yu home to meet your parents tomorrow. If it were Klara, she'd be even more excited, she might be feeling anxious days in advance."

Nami shook her head and said, "I know very well that's not the reason. There's also a very oppressive feeling, and I really want to have a good cry... but I don't know why I just can't cry..."

Riven paused for a moment before quickly saying, "Huh?! You want to cry?! Nami, what's going on?"

"I don't know...that's why I really want to talk to someone. I just feel so suffocated right now, and I really want to cry..."

Riven asked in confusion, "What's going on...? Are you still wondering about it?"

"No, I've already told Zoro that I want to stay here... I'm very clear about what I said, and I'm firm in my decision. I won't regret it, so..."

"I don't understand..."

Nami said softly, "Mengmeng, although our situations are different, there are some similarities, so... I wanted to come and talk to you."

"That's true, but what are we talking about? I don't know why you're crying."

Nami thought for a moment and said, "Mengmeng, what are your thoughts on your future life?"

Riven paused for a moment, then said softly, "Thoughts? I don't have any thoughts. I just feel that there are new surprises every day, and every day is something to look forward to."

"A new surprise?"

Riven nodded and said, "Yes, I was an orphan. A big reason I joined the army was just to have enough to eat. After that, I worked hard to make a better life, because I knew that hard work would lead to progress and allow me to climb higher."

"Just thinking about being able to eat my fill and survive is what got me to the position of sergeant. Even though I've caused countless injuries, I remain loyal to my country because I live and thrive here..."

"Until later, I was betrayed and started wandering alone. You don't know, I was hunted down and just wandered around like a wild man. Although I said I wanted to change Noxus, I had no idea how to do it."

"I don't need to change my clothes when they get dirty. When I'm hungry, I can grab whatever I can and eat it. I don't care if the water is clean or not, as long as it quenches my thirst. I sleep in the wild. I can't even imagine what my life is like now."

"I can sleep until I naturally wake up, without worrying about danger, without being followed, without having to kill anyone, and with enough to eat and wear every day. My life is very fulfilling."

Riven laughed as she said this, "Besides, I'm an orphan. I've never had a real family since I was little. But things are different now. I have my own family now. If I were to reforge the rune sword, it would definitely be to protect my family!"

Nami smiled and said, "This kind of life is really nice..."

"Yeah, hey? Nami, aren't you the same? You lost your family at the beginning and were adopted by Bellemere, then you became Arlong, and then you drifted at sea. You probably don't hate this kind of life, right? Hmm... I don't think any normal person would hate it."

Nami paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Thank you, Mengmeng."

"Huh? Thank me? Thank me for what?"

Nami didn't say anything, but just smiled and said, "So, Mengmeng, you consider me family too?"

"Of course! If Nami ever gets into trouble, I'll definitely help!"

"It really makes me feel safe, but you're probably not just talking about family, right?"

Riven paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Huh? What else?"

Nami grinned mischievously and said, "Mengmeng, there's also love, right?"

Riven blushed and glanced away, but still nodded. Nami smiled and said, "Mengmeng, if you changed into that bunny girl outfit, you really would look like a little white rabbit. You're so cute."

"I'm not a rabbit..."

"Isn't this just saying you're cute? Besides, Mengmeng, don't think we don't know. You've been keeping that bunny girl outfit very carefully. When are you planning to wear it?"

Riven blushed and said, "I'm really thrifty. I can't throw it away, it's too wasteful. I've been homeless before, so I know very well that all supplies are precious! I'm not going to wear it again!"

"is it?"

"Of course!"

Nami coughed lightly and said, "Then what's with you sometimes secretly switching into a different person to take selfies in the mirror?"

"How...how did you know?!"

Nami paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hahaha! Mengmeng! I was just saying it offhand! I didn't expect it to be true!"

"Nami! You tricked me!"

Nami's mood improved considerably, and she said with a smile, "Hey, Moe Moe, who are you taking this for?"

"I don't!"

"Don't be so stingy. If you're too embarrassed to send it to Bai Yu, just let me see it."

"Impossible! Don't even think about it!"

"You still say you didn't take any pictures!"

"I don't!"

Lucifer and the others were clearly unaware of Riven and Nami's situation, but judging from Nami's smiling face and Riven's resentful expression during the meal, it was clear that Nami had succeeded.

"Just kidding, Nami the little thief can easily fool you, little white rabbit Ruimengmeng." Bai Yu asked in confusion, "Mengmeng, what's going on between you and Nami?"

Nami said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing. By the way, Bai Yu, Mengmeng is so cute!"

"It's enough!"

Bai Yu asked, somewhat puzzled, "Hmm? What's wrong? I know Mengmeng is quite cute, but what's going on here...?"

Riven blushed and remained silent, while Nami smiled and said, "I promised Mengmeng I wouldn't tell. By the way, Bai Yu, come home with me tomorrow, don't forget."

"Unforgettable~"

Chapter 490 Sister's Concern, Nami's Dilemma (Please Subscribe~)

Thanks to Riven, Nami is in a much better mood now. Although she still feels a little down, she doesn't care anymore. She knows why she feels this way now.

Lucifer and the others didn't care. Riven was so innocent and adorable that even Kasugano Sora could sometimes fool her, so it was normal for her to be tricked by Nami.

At this moment, in an orange grove in a village, a blue-haired girl was watering the oranges while looking at the horizon and softly saying, "Nami has been gone for so long, I wonder how she is doing."

"Hey! Nojiko!"

"Eh?! Uncle Kensuke?! What brings you here?"

"Joseph and his buddies have gone out to sea to fish."

Noki nodded and said, "I know, and then what?"

"These two idiots didn't bring any citrus fruits with them when they went out to sea again, and they're showing signs of mild scurvy. Gao told me to just find some citrus fruits, juice them, and send them over."

Nojiko covered her face and said, "Are these two idiots? Take these two oranges and make them into juice."

"Okay, but Joseph said he'll give you the money for the oranges when you feel better."

"Forget it, how much can two oranges cost?"

"Those two are really stubborn. By the way, any news about Nami?"

Nojiko shook her head and said, "No, but after such a big incident on Sabaody Archipelago, the fact that they're not in contact is probably the best news..."

"That's true, it must be very difficult for you to take care of such a large garden all by yourself."

"Bellmere was taken care of by one person too, it's alright, relax, you go find those two idiots!"

"Ok!"

Nojiko smiled as she watched Kensuke leave before continuing with her work at the orange grove. After a long while, she said softly, "Nami isn't young anymore. I wonder if she's considered settling down. Maybe we should urge her when she gets back."

Nami clearly didn't expect that Nojiko would be urging her to get married before she even got back. However, although Nojiko said that, she was still very clear that Nami had her own dreams and that she was just showing concern as an older sister.

Nami didn't prepare any gifts. She knew very well that Nojiko wouldn't want anything, and Bellemere didn't need anything either, especially since she had brought Bai Yu back with her this time.

Evening arrived quickly, and Nami suddenly became nervous. After finishing her meal, she went upstairs and sat downstairs, propping her face up with her hand and not saying a word.

Lucifer said with a smile, "Nami, don't be nervous, it's just meeting the parents!"

"No...I didn't..."

"It's not even here yet, so save your breath. Nobody's going to laugh at you."

Nami sighed and said, "I'm not really nervous, or rather, I'm not just nervous about this. Anyway, I'm not really sure. My mind is completely blank right now."

After thinking for a moment, Lucifer waved his hand and said, "Calm down, calm down. Look at Bai Yu, he didn't react at all. Come on, this is your home, and Bai Yu isn't nervous. Why are you nervous?"

Nami paused for a moment, then looked at Bai Yu, who was wearing headphones and talking on his phone to someone, and felt a little dazed herself.

Yeah, it's always the guy who's nervous when meeting the girl's parents, not me! This is my own home! Why am I acting like such an idiot, so incredibly nervous?!

Yuko Ichihara propped her chin on her hand and said, "Needless to say, Shiraha is quite experienced in meeting the parents, so Nami, you don't need to be nervous. Whether you make things more difficult for Shiraha or speak up for him is up to you."

Nami sighed before moving closer to Bai Yu and asking in confusion, "Bai Yu, aren't you nervous?"

Bai Yu took off his headphones and looked at Nami with a puzzled expression. Nami said irritably, "Bai Yu, aren't you nervous about going to my house tomorrow?"

Bai Yu looked at Nami's calm face, thought for a moment, and then nodded and said, "I'm so nervous, I almost fainted. My heart is racing right now."

Nami, seeing Bai Yu's serious expression, couldn't help but laugh and said, "It would be strange if I believed you! How are we going to get there tomorrow? I've never started from Cocoyasi Village before..."

Lucifer waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. I'll just cast a location spell on you. Just think of the location of Cocoyasi Village, and you can be teleported there. However, there might be some deviation, since it's not me who teleports."

"Oh...I see...."

Yukari Yakumo, propping her chin on her hand, said, "Are you going back without preparing any gifts?"

Nami shook her head and said, "There's no need. We're just going home. Besides, Nojiko definitely won't want it if we bring it. There's no one else at home, so there's no need to bring it. I think that Baiyu and I going back will be the biggest surprise for Nojiko."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "I haven't really thought about what to bring Nojiko, so I didn't prepare a gift for her."

"That's right, if you brought it, Nojiko would kill me... Just go directly. By the way, should we go see Hancock while we're at it?"

"Isn't that unnecessary? Didn't you say you wanted to look for Robin?"

Nami thought for a moment and said, "That's true... but I don't know where Robin is. Can magic find her?"

"That's possible, but... how are you going to tell Robin?"

Nami paused for a moment. Right, how should I put it? Robin would definitely have some thoughts about it, no matter what. She did want Robin to come and see, but that would mean telling Robin in person that she was leaving? A big reason she told Zoro was because she couldn't bear to say it to him directly.

Robin would be so happy to see her, but she poured cold water on her feelings. Even though Robin supports her, she has already said that she just wants to complete her map. But after living together for so long, their friendship is still there. She doesn't know how to bring it up, and Robin must be very sad.

Bai Yu said gently, "I think... Nami, you should be able to appear by Zoro's side, right?"

"I know, but... wait... Shirayu, you mean..."

Lucifer laughed and said, "Time is synchronized. Even if you plan to leave, you can still go to the ship to check on things from time to time. There's no difference, is there?"

"Ok!"

Chapter 491 Bai Yu's Gift, A Gift for Bellemere (Please Subscribe~)

Just as Nami expected, Kraki and the others did not disappoint her. They got up early on purpose to tease her, which made Nami feel terrible.

Kasugano Sora quietly sidled up to Nami and whispered earnestly, "Nami-neechan, remember your promise to me!"

Nami paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "I won't forget this, but... let me make this clear first, it's very precious, and I'm not sure if I can find it. Besides, the motive is too obvious. If you find out, I won't speak up for you."

Kasugano Sora said loyally, "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

"I hope so..."

Pandemonica, holding her coffee, said softly, "It seems you have some secret, Xiaoqiong."
