People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Bai Yu took Cheng directly from him and looked at Cheng, who was filled with fear and panting, and asked, "Cheng, are you alright?"

"Lord Baiyu... I'm alright..."

As Orange spoke, she buried her head in Bai Yu's arms and stopped talking. Yakumo Ran also rushed over and, seeing Orange hugging Bai Yu, quickly asked, "Orange, are you alright?"

"Lord Lan... I'm fine... it's just... Sister Little Red... I feel so bored..."

Everyone was stunned, glancing at Yoru no Mori Kokoro. The next moment, they saw Kokoro blush and run to the side. Lucifer's lips twitched as he said, "I thought Hai Meng was outrageous enough... Kokoro... she's trying to compete with Tsunade...!"

"Hmm..." xn

Yumiko sighed and said, "You're still the same."

"Hehe, Yumiko-neechan, I was just so excited! But... Shiraha... were you jealous just now? Oh my, so cute..."

Shiraha handed Orange to Yakumo Ran, then said somewhat helplessly, "Kouno, you got a little too excited."

"hey-hey..."

Yonomori Benio ran straight to Shiraha's side, hugged his arm, and said with a smile, "Hey, I still listen to you, Shiraha, did you miss me?"

I just saw you at the family reunion not long ago...

"Okay, okay, have you missed Xiaohong?"

Night Forest Little Red blushed, but looked at Bai Yu with some anticipation. Bai Yu nodded and said gently, "It has indeed been a long time since I've seen Little Red."

"I have to cook and do homework all the time... I simply don't have time to come to the store... My home is quite far away, and I really want to go there every day."

Bai Yu gently patted Ye Zhi Sen Xiao Hong's head and said softly, "Let's go. You must be tired after walking for so long. Let's all go inside and rest for a while. Once the ingredients arrive, we can start eating."

"Huh?! That was fast! What did you prepare?"

"Hot pot and cold noodles."

"Huh?! Hot pot, huh? That sounds really festive. I haven't had hot pot in ages... But isn't it too spicy? I bet Orange and the others can't handle it."

Eirin Yagokoro said gently, "Then you don't need to worry. Orange really likes strong-flavored food. After taking that into consideration, Shiraha specially prepared two pots, one spicy and one non-spicy."

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

Chapter 46 Kirari's Helplessness, Kirari's Resignation (Please Subscribe~)

After Yonomori Kokoro and Yonomori Benio entered the house, they breathed a sigh of relief. Ichihara Yuuko said with a smile, "If you two haven't rested, you should go to your rooms and rest for a while."

Night Forest Red shook her head and said, "No need, we all went to bed early last night, and there was no one who was so excited that they couldn't sleep all night."

Yuko Ichihara said with a smile, "I didn't expect you and Benio to be so calm, Benio."

"I don't know why either. Maybe it's because I've been looking forward to it for so long that I'm so calm. Hey? Xiao Qiong, I heard you got a very high score this time."

Kasugano Sora snorted and said, "Of course! First in the class! Second in the grade! Shiraha-nii owes me a wish now! Shiraha-nii, don't forget!"

Bai Yu said somewhat helplessly, "Don't worry, I won't forget. The ingredients haven't arrived yet, so let's rest for a while, Xiao Hong."

"Hey! What's wrong?"

"Your cooking has improved recently, hasn't it?"

"Yes! I've learned a lot of new recipes from your posts, and my sister and mom both love them."

Yoru no Mori said with a smile, "Hey, it's not just because it's delicious, but more because it's Shiraha's recipe. It's wonderful that my future husband taught my dear sister how to cook!"

Kirari propped her chin on her hand and said, "So, you haven't learned how to cook a single dish?"

"Oh dear, Kirari, what you're saying puts me in a difficult position. By the way, where's Ririka?"

"She's busy with something; she'll come after us again in a while."

After thinking for a moment, Yonomori Benio said with a puzzled look, "By the way, did you deal with your private Hyakka-no-O? It feels like you've really messed things up this time."

Kirari sighed and said, "I was just bored. Who knew these guys would suddenly go all out? I'm having a bit of a headache too, but I won't lose to anyone except Bai Yu."

"Huh? As expected of you. So, your sudden summer vacation and absence from school means... you're just playing with their mischievous side and keeping them hanging?"

"Eh?! Benio, you know me very well."

"From your perspective, isn't that how it is? Oh dear, Lily is still the cutest. Why don't you learn from Lily, Kirari? Come on, go ahead and act cute with your older sister."

Kirari's eye twitched slightly as she said, "I refuse."

"Huh? Is that so? That's a bit of a shame. Well, never mind then... Thinking that it's you, Kirari, who's here to act cute, I've suddenly calmed down."

"You...don't I seem like the type to act cute?"

"No way, where do you get the confidence to say that?"

As she spoke, Qi Luoli turned to look at Bai Yu and said, "Bai Yu, she doesn't believe I would act cute with you. I want to prove myself."

"You want to prove it? Then I'll just believe you."

Kirari's lips twitched. This guy was indeed one of the few people she couldn't handle and ended up being the one being manipulated. Lucifer said with some surprise, "This is the first time I've seen Kirari get the short end of the stick."

“You can’t control the rhythm of conversation when talking to this guy.”

Yonomori Benio waved her hand and said, "Don't make it sound like I'm some kind of outrageous person, okay? But... Kirari, you'll have to put together a team by then, and sora too!"

Kirari tilted her head and said, "Team? What team do you mean?"

"You're the team leader for the knowledge competition. You'll be responsible for finding a few people to form a team for the competition. The top five teams will receive generous rewards and will be admitted to university without taking the entrance exam."

Yumiko said with some surprise, "No exam required? Can you make such a big decision all by yourself?"

"I'm just relaying the message. It's about the collaborative project between Sister Ziyin and those universities. The goal is to help many people who don't continue their studies after graduation, or who choose to study abroad. This way, we can retain talent and also motivate them to continue learning."

Lucifer nodded and said, "That's great. As for Kirari... I heard from Yuuko that she got perfect scores in all subjects. She must be amazing."

"Hmm, it's alright, not too difficult. So, does that mean I should participate in the competition too?"

"That's right, you're the captain of the private Hyakkaou, I'm Katagiri's, and Sakura is naturally..."

Kasugano Sora pointed to herself and said, "Me?"

Everyone rolled their eyes, and Yonomori Benio said irritably, "It would be strange if it were you, it's Akemi!"

Sōryūin Akemi paused for a moment, pointed to herself, and said, "Me? But I'm much worse than Benio-nee and Kirari-nee."

"Let's give it a try. Besides, it wasn't my decision that you'd lead the team; it was Ziyin-nee's decision! Huh? Where's Ziyin-nee?"

"My sister was too excited yesterday and couldn't sleep, so she cleaned dozens of rooms by herself. She's feeling a bit tired now and has gone back to rest."

"Oh...I see."

Lucifer asked in bewilderment, "Aren't you surprised that she cleaned dozens of rooms all by herself?"

"Hmm? Nothing surprising."

Kirari sighed and said, "Lucy, you don't understand. This girl is the kind of person who, apart from cooking, will do anything she sets her mind to and do it well."

Yuuko Ichihara said with some surprise, "You're really amazing..."

Kira sighed and said, "So, Xiao Hong is under a lot of pressure. After all, her older sister is so amazing and is a school idol, so she can't be too bad. So Xiao Hong has a tough time."

"Hey, Xiaohong is already doing great! Xiaohong, you don't need to feel so burdened, I..."

Before Hongxu could finish speaking, Xiaohong nodded and said, "I know, my sister is graduating soon, and I really don't feel any pressure."

"Huh?! I see?! But... yeah... I guess I really am graduating soon... graduating..."

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "I sense you have some strange ideas."

"It's not that amazing, it's just that I haven't thought about which university I want to go to yet. Hey? Kirari, which university do you want to register your name at?"

Tokyo Metropolitan University.

"Then I'll do that too!"

"Sizzle..."

Chapter 47: The Decline in Family Status – Like a Daughter-in-Law (Please Subscribe~)

When all the ingredients arrived, Xiao Hong volunteered to help. Hong Xu wanted to join in, but Yumiko stopped her. Just kidding, if Hong Xu had gone too, they might not have been able to eat lunch until they set off in the afternoon.

Wearing an apron, Xiao Hong watched Bai Yuqi knead dough according to the correct proportions and asked in confusion, "What are you making? Do you need to add other noodles besides buckwheat noodles to cold noodles?"

"Of course, by the way, Xiaohong, how did you do on your exam this time?"

"It's alright, mostly around 95... Xiao Qiong's average score is 98, that's really impressive..."

"She, she has Yuno teaching her."

While kneading the dough, Yoru no Mori whispered, "I remember Yuno finished all her subjects in less than twelve minutes this time. She's really amazing. It's become known in other schools."

"This girl doesn't care about all that. Lan, there are absorbent papers over there. Once the basa fish has thawed, we'll use them to dry it."

"Oh...."

"Yonglin, for bamboo shoots, you don't need to cut them into sections, just cut them into long strips."

"Um....."

While lunch was being prepared, Sonoko and the others came over in the other living room, yawning. They had all set alarms and woke up around lunchtime. After a nap, they felt much more refreshed. Of course, some of them hadn't gotten up yet.

Upon seeing Yonomori Benio, Sonoko sighed and said, "Benio-nee... I didn't expect you to actually arrive before lunchtime."

"Of course, but... Sonoko, do you dare to take off your headband?"

"No way, it's so hot, I'm not taking my headband off. Hey? Where's Xiaohong? Is she helping prepare the food?"

"I don't know, I'll go check the kitchen!"

As Yonomori Benio tried to get up, she realized she couldn't stand. Looking up, she saw Orimura Chifuyu sitting on the back of a chair, one hand resting on her shoulder. Benio smiled and said, "Um... Chifuyu-nee, long time no see..."

"Just wait patiently, lunch is coming soon. Hmm? Where's Asagi? Still not awake?"

Zdelada waved his hand and said, "No, I just passed by Xiaoqiong's room and saw them playing games. Asagi's hand speed is pretty fast. Hmm? Where's Shu?"

"She's probably calculating some data. By the way, Klaxie, why do you seem so nervous?"

Kraki whispered, "I told my mom we're leaving today, so..."

"What did you say?"

"My mom said...when I get there tonight, I should make her a video call..."

Sonoko waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just making a phone call, it's no big deal."

"Hmm... with white feathers..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Lucifer said irritably, "What are you afraid of? Look at Nami and Yumiko, they both met the parents very calmly."

Sonoko nodded and said, "Yeah, yeah, look at me, I'm the same, aren't I? Hmm... Gentian-nee too."

Kobayashi Rindou, wearing a nightcap, sighed and said, "You're one to talk... My status at home is so low now! People who don't know better would think Shiraha is the biological son, and I'm like a daughter-in-law!"

"Pfft..." xn

Yumiko laughed and said, "Me too. My mom is usually very good to me, but as soon as Bai Yu came to the house, my status dropped sharply."

Lucifer laughed and said, "Really? Yumiko, you're one too?"

"Yeah, my mom always says things like... 'Why are you always working overtime? You two should see each other more often!' and so on... Basically, she says a lot, just the same few things over and over again, but I can't ignore her because it really is my fault..."

Sonoko sighed and said, "You should all be content. Rindou-nee has been spoiled rotten since she was a child, and Yumiko-nee, you don't have much to complain about, it's just that you have to work overtime. But look at me! Every time Shiraha-nii meets my mom, I have to hide. Who's more miserable than me!"

Kirari said irritably, "You just have too many bad habits..."

"I don't object to that... but my already precarious family status is being exposed again. There's no warmth left in my home. I just hope I can graduate quickly and get married soon."

"Don't talk like you're helpless. You're just eager to get married. Besides, if you used your speaking skills for an exam, how could you only get 83?"

"Um... wait, Sister Zhan, where are your parents?"

Tianyu Zhanzhan's lips twitched before he said softly, "Family status, minus one."

"Pfft..."xn

Hancock, resting her chin on her hand, said, "I'm more curious, Kirari, what about your home?"

Kirari's eyes twitched slightly before she smiled and said, "I remember Tsunade, your status in the family also decreased, right?"
