People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Medici asked in confusion, "Running water? Did the shop not even have running water when it opened?"

Lantabi laughed and said, "It's not the tap water you drink. This tap water refers to... genuine liking and recognition. If you really like something or a work of art, you will actively recommend it to others, forming a considerable recommendation chain."

Lucifer suddenly realized and said, "That makes sense. So... you've all been looking at these magazine-like documents?"

"No, no, no, it's just me. They were looking at more professional documents. Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention, Klaqi, your aunt asked you to see her."

"what?!"

Chapter 502 Unlucky Kid Rantabi, Kraki's Helplessness (Please Subscribe~)

Kraki was completely dumbfounded. Why did her mother suddenly ask her to find her? She hadn't done anything wrong!

Despite her thoughts, Klara quickly sat down at her desk, turned on her computer, and made a video call to her mother. The call was answered instantly, and Klara's mother asked in surprise, "Hmm? Klara, why are you wearing glasses?"

"This can relieve eye strain, and it doesn't have any prescription. Mom, is there something you need?"

Klaqi's mother shook her head and said, "It's not me looking for you, it's them looking for you."

"Them? Us? Hmm?"

Klaqi's mother adjusted the camera and then saw two men and a woman on the other side. Klaqi was stunned for two seconds before quickly saying, "Dad?! What are you doing home at this time?! Uncle and Aunt?! What are you two doing here too?!"

"This isn't home, this is Dekker's home. Your mother and I have come to Dekker's house to catch up. Where is Dekker?"

"Huh? Who called me?"

Just then, Dekker walked in, and Klara quickly said, "Dekker! Your aunt and uncle want to chat with you."

"Huh? Dad? Mom?"

"Um...."

Dekla's lips twitched, but she still leaned closer. Dekla's mother had the same skin color as Dekla, and she said with a smile, "Dakla, I haven't seen you call me once."

"Mom... what happened to you all getting together?"

"Let's catch up. By the way, Dekkera, where's Shiraha?"

“Uh…” x2

Kraki and Dekkera both swallowed hard, cold sweat instantly beading on their foreheads. These people were clearly eager to meet their future son-in-law; if they found out that Bai Yu and Nami were going home to meet the parents...

Lucifer and the others watched the two with expressions of anticipation, while Klara and Deklara froze in perfect unison. On the other side of the screen, Deklara's mother asked in confusion, "Huh? Is it stuck?"

A man standing to the side, who looked like a traditional British gentleman, chuckled and said, "It's probably because the cross-border chat network is unstable."

"That makes sense, then..."

"Ah!"

Klaqi and Dekla both narrowed their eyes, while Rantabi looked at the two of them somewhat awkwardly. Klaqi's mother, being quite authoritative, adjusted her glasses before speaking softly, "Klaqi, Dekla, I'll give you a chance to explain."

Kraki chuckled and said, "Haha... Mom... can I say the internet is unstable?"

"So, Bai Yu isn't here?"

Dekkera quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes! Bai Yu isn't here. He's out on business, and he's not a member of WGO, so it's normal that he's not here."

"That's true. Hey? Just the two of you? Was that girl Rantabi who sneezed just now?"

"No, no, right, let me introduce you. These are some of our sisters."

"Eh?" x4

A few minutes later, Kraki and Dekkera quietly ran to the side. They had to hide; if their parents found out that Bai Yu and Nami had gone to meet their parents, they would be doomed.

"Hey, hey, hey, Kraki, what do we do? If Mom and Dad find out that Bai Yu and Nami went to see Nojiko, we're both doomed!"

"You're right... I shouldn't have been so cowardly back then. Dating really does make women stupid..."

So what should you do?

Kraki thought for a moment and said, "I think Mom and Dad's purpose is very clear, so we should be more honest. Besides, Bellemere has passed away, so it's normal for Nami to go and pay respects to her mother, and Bai Yu to come along. In addition, Nami is closer to home."

"That makes sense. So how should we bring it up? Should we just tell them directly? Wouldn't that be suicide?"

"No need, watch me."

As she spoke, Klara stood up and ran over to Lucifer and the others, who were having a very pleasant chat with Klara and Deklara's parents.

"So, you little rascal, Rindan... Eh?! Kraki! You've finally shown up! You haven't finished yet, where's Shiraha?"

Kraki's lips twitched before she coughed lightly and said, "Um... Shiraha and Nami went home."

"Go home? What home?"

"Um... Nami's family."

Kraki and Dekrah's parents both nodded in realization, and then...

"Kraqi! I'm so..."

Kraki quickly said, "Mom! Let me explain!"

"Fine, let's see what you have to say."

"That's right. Nami is a war orphan who was adopted by Bellemere, who is Nami's adoptive mother. But Bellemere has passed away. Nami was originally at sea with her friends, but now she wants to settle here. So she wants to take Shiraha home to pay respects to her mother and also see her sister."

Klara's mother sighed and said, "In that case, forget it... But remember to make a video call during summer vacation, we've wanted to see Bai Yu for a long time."

"Uh... I know, I know, I'll never forget it. Dekkera and I will help you catch Bai Yu, and you can talk about it however you want."

"just you?"

Seeing the amused look in her mother's eyes, Klara said firmly, "Bai Yu spoils me a lot! I told him, and he would definitely agree!"

"But you're still henpecked, you didn't inherit any of my good genes!"

Hearing this, the man beside him chuckled and said, "Wife, well..."

"Ok?"

"The mussels are ready for you..."

"Ah."

Looking at her father, who was completely henpecked, Klara could only feel envy. Lucifer and the others felt the same way. Klara's mother said softly, "So, you really are nothing like me."

"Can..."

"Ok?"

"Mom... I won't disturb your meal, I still have some documents to work on..."

"Okay, go ahead, remember to eat lunch."

"Ok!"

Chapter 503 Coco's Phone Call with Casper: Help Me Clean (Please Subscribe~)

After hanging up the phone, Klara breathed a sigh of relief. Lucifer said in confusion, "Klara, I didn't expect your aunt to be so strong-willed. I thought she would be a bit childish like you."

Kraki sighed and said, "Mom's personality is somewhat like Attorney Fei's; she's a strong woman. Dad, although a businessman, wouldn't dare to go against Mom at all..."

Kobayashi Rindou laughed and said, "I didn't realize you were such a rich and beautiful girl, Kraki? A second-generation rich kid?"

"It's alright, I don't use my family's money. My dad's money is all reimbursed by my mom. My mom is usually very decisive, while my dad is henpecked. And then... sigh..."

Lucifer asked in confusion, "Huh? What does your aunt do for a living? She looks very elegant. And your uncle is blond, so why is your aunt's hair chestnut brown? Did she dye it?"

Kraki nodded and said, "Yes, and Dad's hair was also dyed. It was originally a silver-gray color, but Mom kept saying that Dad's hair color didn't look good in photos, so she dyed it."

"Oh... indeed, the blonde hair looks better. So, what does Auntie do for a living? Is she a secretary at Uncle's company?"

"No, no, my mom is a sommelier and nutritionist."

"Huh? That's pretty impressive."

"Of course, Mom is a very high-level sommelier and nutritionist, you know. But it's precisely because she's a sommelier that Dad's friends don't dare to give her wine easily. If the wine isn't high-end enough, that's fine, but if they give her a fake or impure bottle, that's interesting."

Lucifer sighed and said, "So, Dekkera, your house is pretty much the same... I heard from your aunt that you were having dinner at your house, and it looks like a villa..."

"Oh, my dad's in business too, and my mom's a translator and part-time financial advisor..."

Sachi sighed and said, "You two are really good at hiding your true abilities. But speaking of which, Dekkera, your mother seems to have a very good temper. She shouldn't be henpecked, right?"

Hearing this, Rantabi casually remarked, "Auntie is friendly and gentle to everyone, and a bit childlike, but with Uncle... um... if I remember correctly, it seems like Uncle doesn't dare to disagree with anything Auntie suggests..."

"That's right... Dad's henpecked, but Mom's really something else. She can often say some really scary things with a smile... Dad's terrified..."

Yuko Ichihara said irritably, "You two should learn from this. How come you're the ones who are now henpecked?"

"Bai Yu is different from Dad. If Dad were like Bai Yu, Mom would have been obedient long ago!"

"That's not realistic, Klarki. If we do that, Auntie will be even stricter."

"Yeah, right... but Rantabi! You little brat! You've really screwed me over!"

Rantabi said softly, "It's not my fault... this document was just printed out, and it has a strong smell of ink."

"I give up. Oh, right, Nami changed her name again and posted an update. This is... Looks like Nami has solved the problem."

Lucifer and the others were stunned for a moment and then came over to take a look. Nami posted a status update: two hands interlocked on a bar counter, without writing anything, just that one photo.

Lucifer chuckled and said, "It seems Nami is indeed much more reliable than Managi. I just wonder what Nami and Zoro talked about that day. They both seemed a little disappointed."

"I guess it's because Nami wants to stay. Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention, Feng Shui mentioned before that her best friend, Coco, said she called Feng Shui and said she had a surprise for him, and he should wait for her call during the summer vacation."

Pandemonica paused for a moment and said, "Huh? Doesn't this Coco know we're going on a trip this summer?"

Everyone was silent for a moment before bursting into laughter. Coco, who was looking at the schedule on the other side, suddenly shuddered, feeling as if something bad was about to happen.

Just then, the phone rang. Coco paused for a moment before answering. There was a sound like a can being opened on the other end of the line. Coco paused again and said softly, "Why are you calling me?"

"Huh? So cold?"

"Just say what you need to say. I don't have much time. Do you want to talk business with me?"

The man on the other end of the phone took a sip of his cola, smacked his lips, and said, "I do have a business deal on hand right now, but I already have a target. Let's talk about it another time."

"So you're just here to show off to me? You think I don't have any business?"

"No, no, no, I just wanted to ask what your plans are for summer vacation?"

"Summer vacation? Are you going back to school?"

The man chuckled and said, "I almost forgot we don't have summer vacation anymore. Soon it will be time for students to have their summer vacation. How about we consider taking a break and going on a trip?"

Coco said softly, "It's none of your business what I do, and besides, you're not suggesting I go on vacation with you, are you?"

"No, no, no, I already told you, I have a business deal, I just suddenly remembered to give you a suggestion."

"Thank you for your suggestion, but I think you should focus on your own business. I have my own plans, and coincidentally, it's the vacation you mentioned."

The man paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Sure, that's a good idea. Do me a favor."

"You really want my help just by asking?"

"I will reward you, a very generous reward, and all you need to do is a very simple, safe thing."

Coco paused for a moment, then chuckled and asked, "What is it?"

"After a while, I will have someone deliver a key to you. It's a key to a villa. You can go and clean the villa for me."

Coco was stunned for a moment before saying in disbelief, "What?! You want me to be your cleaner?! You don't even have the money to hire a cleaner?!"

"Do you really think that's just an ordinary villa?"

Coco paused for a moment before narrowing her eyes and asking, "What's inside?"

"This is not something you should know. I still trust you, so I'm leaving it to you. You and your team can handle the cleaning, right? You'll see your payment once the cleaning is done."

After thinking for a while, Coco said softly, "Okay, time and place."

"I'll tell you the location after I get the key. Also, don't be so serious, this isn't like you."

"Don't act like you know me so well."

"I don't know you very well, but I do know a little bit, after all, I'm your brother..."
