People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"You've finished writing, it's your turn."

Nami smiled and said, "What is this? Let me see... Bellemere, you gave Nami a happy home. You are a great mother. I will take good care of Nami. As I have always said, I am just a restaurant manager."

"There's not much I can do, but I can say I'll do my best to make every day of Nami's joy and happiness. You gave Nami and the others a warm and happy home, so please entrust it to me now. I will continue to provide that warmth and happiness..."

Nami wiped her eyes and smiled, saying, "If Bellemere were here, she would have definitely defected to your side! No, I need to write something too..."

Bai Yu watched Nami wiping away tears as she wrote. Nami noticed and raised an eyebrow before writing a sentence and glancing at Bai Yu as if guarding against a thief. After writing for a long time, Nami suddenly laughed.

"What does this say...?"

"I'm not telling you. It was written for Bellemere. You know what it's for."

"You just..."

"Who told you to write first? You've finished writing! Turn your head away, don't look. This is for Bellemere."

Bai Yu smiled, then stood up and turned around. Nami smiled, then placed the card where Bai Yu had been tidying up and said with a smile, "Belmel, that's all for now. We need to go back; we still need to buy groceries. After all, Nojiko is still at the orange grove. We'll come see you again later."

Nami stood up, grabbed Bai Yu's arm, and said with a smile, "Let's go buy groceries!"

"You seem to be in a good mood."

"Please say it's very good."

Not long after they left, Nami suddenly whispered, "Bai Yu."

"Ok?"

"I like you, and I want to be the boss's wife too."

"Hmm, this saves me the time of checking the weather forecast."

"Screw you! I want boiled fish!"

"Ok."

The two walked further and further away, their voices fading into the distance, but Nami's laughter never stopped, carried far, far away by the wind, even to Bellemere's grave. At Bellemere's grave, a bouquet of flowers lay quietly, with a card on it, filled with the words Bellemere wanted to hear.

A breeze rises, carrying the cool sea air, the rich fragrance of flowers, and a hint of citrus, carrying the words on the card further and further away, to where they are meant to be...

Chapter 498 Rare Ingredients in the Shop, and the Popular Nami (Please Subscribe~)

The village of Cocoyasi was bustling with activity at this time, for a simple reason: Nami had returned, or more specifically, Nami had returned with her man.

Nami didn't feel shy at all. She just kept holding onto Bai Yu's arm and greeted the surrounding villagers with a smile.

Nami's confession was quite understated. She knew that the only thing separating her and Bai Yu was a confession. She was very open about it; liking someone meant liking them, especially since she knew she wouldn't regret it.

"Hey! Nami! You're really back! This is...!"

"This is my fiancé..."

"Fiancé?! Nami! You're getting married?!"

Nami laughed and said, "Of course, the goal of dating is to get married, isn't that cool?"

"Huh? Eh? Didn't you go and become a pirate?"

Nami shook her head and said, "I won't do it anymore. Bai Yu owns a restaurant, so I'll just be his boss from now on."

"Hey? This is great! Here, have your meat."

Nami smiled and said, "How fresh is this? How much?"

"What money? You've been gone for so long, and you even saved Cocoyasi Village. You came back today with your fiancé. Consider this a small token of our appreciation. Are you angry that I gave you money?"

Nami sighed and said, "Okay, thank you."

"His name is Bai Yu, right? Make it sound nice to Na Mei, otherwise there are quite a few people in Cocoyasi Village!"

"Pfft... Bai Yu, be nicer to me, you hear me? Otherwise you'll be ganged up on! But don't worry, Auntie, Bai Yu is very good to me."

"Okay! Come again when you have time!"

"it is good!"

Bai Yu brought a bag of Baileys from the shop when he arrived, so he wasn't short of money at all. However, the problem was that the villagers either offered discounts or simply didn't charge him, so even though he had money, he couldn't spend it.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "I didn't realize you were so popular in Cocoyasi Village."

"Of course! Eh? Bai Yu, do you think sea kings taste good?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "When I went to Amazon Lily before, I think I saw some sea kings. They must taste pretty good, right? Do you want to try some?"

"I've eaten sea kings before, but I've never tried yours. It must be delicious, but sea kings are hard to find in Cocoyasi Village. Let's try it on Amazon Lily later."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Oh? Right, I almost forgot to mention, were you still in Cocoyasi Village this afternoon?"

"No, but I'm not going to see Robin either. I want to buy something."

Bai Yu paused for a moment and said in confusion, "Buy things? The goods here aren't as plentiful as they are back home."

"Buy...buy some local specialties."

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "Specialty products? You're not thinking of buying Devil Fruits, are you...?"

Nami's eyes twitched before she laughed and said, "Oh dear, what Devil Fruit? Devil Fruits are so rare, so let's not think about it too much and go buy one!"

"Ok."

Nami suddenly remembered something and said with a puzzled look, "Eh? There's something I've wanted to know for a long time."

"what?"

"That means, in the store, bluefin tuna, king salmon, blue lobster, and matsutake mushrooms are all common ingredients. You keep saying they're not very precious ingredients, so what are precious ingredients?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "You're the first person to ask this question."

"So what are those precious ingredients? Bluefin tuna and the like are already worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars each. If that's not precious, then what about fleur de sel? I'm really curious about what precious ingredients are."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Simply put, it's... ingredients from another world, or rather, ingredients with special effects."

Nami was taken aback for a moment and said, "There really are ingredients from another world? Are there a lot?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "There are quite a lot. The shop has plenty right now. The ingredients from the other world aren't unlimited; they appear at fixed times each week and don't disappear even if you don't cook them. They just accumulate like that."

"Huh?! So, that means there will be several otherworldly ingredients in the refrigerator today?"

"That's right, but the ingredients that appear today won't appear for the rest of the week. For example, there's black rice, which only appeared a few days ago. A bag of it appears every Thursday, but not at other times."

Nami's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Wow! That sounds amazing! Does that mean the shop actually has a lot of rare ingredients?"

"Yes, for example, trumpet lion, thunder pepper mint, cheese rabbit, white apple, good morning rose, black rice, and so on. There are quite a few, some of which are very outrageous, while others are more ordinary."

Nami asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, but we can't make it now because Klara and the others don't know. They'll find out when they come back from summer vacation, and we can store more of it then."

Nami nodded repeatedly, also looking forward to it. Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she asked in confusion, "Huh? If that's the case, then Sea Kings and Devil Fruits are considered special ingredients?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "The world is linked. Judging from our family's combat strength... Sea Kings are at most considered relatively precious food, and Devil Fruits are one, but Devil Fruits look very unpalatable."

"It seems so. Rumor has it that Devil Fruits taste like the worst fruit in my imagination, but since you can gain power by eating them, they must be quite precious."

"That's true. Actually, there are quite a few, such as the sunflowers in the Fragrant Flower Field, and the edible Pokémon in Ash's world."

Nami nodded and said, "Why am I suddenly feeling a little excited... By the way, Shiro, is there anything you'd like to see?"

"Want to see it?"

"It means some islands in this world. Although the technology in this world is not very advanced, there are still many interesting places."

If I say...

Nami snorted and said, "You said it! I'm not looking for Hancock today! You're mine all day! You're not allowed to go see anyone else!"

"What I mean is, what if I said I was going to find Shakky and Ridley?"

"Huh?! This is great! I can even buy some things while I'm at it! I remember where Sabaody Archipelago is! Okay! It's decided!"

Chapter 499 Nami's Happiness, Just Spoil Her! (Please Subscribe~)

Nojiko is very happy now. Her sister no longer has to drift at sea. She has her own family, found a good man, and is living a happy life. Her biggest worry is slowly being put to rest.

After Nojiko finished her work, she went straight home. She usually wouldn't be home at this time, but today was different. As soon as Nojiko got home, she heard voices.

"How was my knife skill? Not bad, right?"

"Surprisingly, it's not bad."

"Of course! Hey, Bai Yu, can you make orange pie?"

"will not."

"Oh! So it's really delicious? Great! I want an orange pie!"

"Didn't you just want to eat boiled fish?"

"There's no conflict between them! Oh, I want to eat orange pie!"

"Fine..."

Noki laughed and shook her head without saying anything. After washing her hands, she went to the kitchen. Nami was wearing an apron and chopping vegetables with a cleaver, while Baiyu was processing other ingredients with another cleaver.

Nojiko smiled as she looked at Nami's smile and the happiness in her eyes. Indeed, her sister's happiness was more important than anything else.

"Hey! Nojiko, you're back. Wait a little longer, we just got back not long ago."

Noki nodded and said, "Yes, no rush."

"Huh? Yeah, Nojiko, why are you back so early? I already told you, I spent the whole morning with you. This afternoon, Shiraha and I are going to buy some things. Nojiko, do you want to come?"

Noki rolled her eyes and said, "You want me to be a third wheel? The way you're smiling, I'm afraid you'll make another terrible meal. I don't want a stomachache."

Nami paused for a moment, then shouted defiantly, "Nojiko! I'm amazing! Even Bai Yu praised me! Right!"

"He is indeed talented."

Noki laughed and said, "Just spoil her."

Nami rolled her eyes and said, "That's the truth. You'll see when you try it. Hey? Go inside and wait. What are you doing in the kitchen?"

"Let me see if there's anything I can do to help."

"Hmm...you wash the vegetables for me!"

"Alright, I'll assist Chef Nami today."

"Hmm! Not bad!"

"Don't think that just because there are more of you you can be disrespectful!"

"Hahaha!"

Today should be the happiest day for Nami since... no, it should be said that it's the happiest day she's had since Bellemere left. Her lover is by her side, and her dearest sister is also by her side. She feels that the word "home"... has never left her.

When it was time to eat, neither Nojiko nor Nami drank alcohol; they drank orange juice instead, which was their favorite drink. Nojiko was a little surprised, as the ingredients were all ordinary, yet the food was so delicious.

Nami looked at the surprised Nojiko and said with a smile, "Nojiko, how's my cooking?"

Nojiko chuckled and said gently, "Nami... you've grown up and become more mature. You truly are someone who has a lover now."

Nami laughed and said, "Right? My lover owns a restaurant, so I, as the boss's wife, have to be decent at cooking, right?"

"Oh, right, I heard it when I got back today. Turns out it's not my boyfriend, it's my fiancé."

Nami propped her chin on her hand and said, "Yeah, I've set my sights on Bai Yu. I just want to be a peaceful boss lady. Besides, isn't the point of dating to get married? I have so many sisters in my family, and some of them are eager to get married."

Noki nodded and said, "This seems pretty reliable. When?"

"Probably the year after next, Nojiko, I'm getting married, you have to come!"

Noki rolled her eyes and said, "Of course I'll go if you get married. What are you thinking? I'm a freelancer, so I have a lot of free time."

"That's good."

Nojiko suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion, "By the way, didn't you say you had many new wishes? But now... what are your wishes?"

Nami, propping her chin on her hand, smiled and said, "Well, I still want to travel the world. But since we have magic at home, I can include drawing my own world map in my plans. That's no problem. As for any other wishes..."
