People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

He ran off and disappeared in a flash. Zhengyi laughed and said, "Naive, how could I leave any for you! Girls! There's so much fish left in the cup! Baiyu! Come on! Let's have a drink!"

"Ok."

Lucifer on the other side simply used his magic to dispose of the cola before running upstairs. As soon as he reached the fourth floor, he was pulled away by a small hand.

"Ah! Who is it?!"

"Pfft..." x3

Lucifer initially thought it was Sadako or something, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was Kobayashi Rindou. Lucifer paused for a moment and said, "Eh? Yuuko? Yuka? You guys are here too... And Leonora, you're here too?"

Leonora shook her head and said, "I don't know. I went to the bathroom and just came out of my room when I saw Gentian and Yuuka coming to find me. They didn't say anything, just told me to go with them."

Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Gentian, what exactly do you want to say? You actually called all four of us here, and even Leonora, you came too."

Kobayashi Rindou breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Before I tell you, I need you to make a guarantee, no, two guarantees."

"What?" x4

"You must promise that you will not tell anyone what you saw today. Of course, Leonora, you can tell Grandpa Nakiri, but you must ask Grandpa Nakiri to keep it a secret."

Leonora paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay... I understand... What's the second thing?"

Rindou Kobayashi glanced out the window and said softly, "The second thing... you need to put your acting skills to good use."

"Acting skills?" x4

Kobayashi Rindou nodded and said softly, "That's right, it's all about acting. There absolutely cannot be any excitement or anticipation on your face, absolutely not! Do you understand?"

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "This is the first time I've seen you so serious, so... no problem, I believe you're not playing a prank."

Lucifer and Yuuko Ichihara nodded in agreement, while Leonora said with a smile, "It feels like we're secret agents on a covert mission..."

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and said, "Not a bad description. Since you can all guarantee it, then come with me. Oh, and don't scream!"

"Huh? What is it...? Why is it so serious...?"

Despite saying that, Lucifer and the others silently followed Kobayashi Rindou forward...

Chapter 170 Kobayashi Rindou's Ultimate Plan: The Proposal Ceremony (Please Subscribe~)

The four of them followed behind Kobayashi Rindou with curious expressions. Although they were puzzled, no one asked. However, as women, they had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

"Huh? Isn't this your room?"

"follow me."

After Kobayashi Rindou opened the door and went inside, Lucifer and the others were about to speak when they saw Kobayashi Rindou open a cabinet on one side and take out a pink suitcase from it.

Yuko Ichihara said with a smile, "Isn't this the surprise you mentioned? Are you going to show it to us?"

Lucifer chuckled, but quickly froze as Kobayashi Rindou walked to the door, locked it, drew the curtains, and turned on the light.

Yuuko Ichihara swallowed hard and said, "No... it can't be true, can it...?"

"Yes, I wanted to give you all a sneak peek at this surprise. Leonora, you've come at the perfect time. You can help me plan my ultimate project!"

Leonora stared blankly at the many locks on the box and said, "I just realized what's in this box. Why are there so many locks? Isn't a combination lock enough?"

Lucifer shook his head and said, "I don't know. Longdan kept saying it was a surprise, but she didn't say what it was. She just said she'd tell us when Ali and Qingxingdeng arrived."

"A-Li? Aoandon?"

"Oh, they're busy right now, they'll come to see us in a couple of days."

Leonora nodded in realization, and Yuuka Kazami said softly, "So, what's your plan for showing us a surprise in advance? In other words, what is this ultimate plan you're talking about?"

Kobayashi Rindou put the box away, then took out a set of keys, knelt on the ground, and said softly as he unlocked it, "Tell me, what is the purpose of this summer vacation?"

"Discussing future housing and marriage matters is like a family meeting..." - Lucifer

"More than deepening family bonds, it's about getting to know each other when the family gets together." - by Yuuka Kazami

"Get out and relax, take a pre-wedding trip, and nurture your relationship." - Yuko Ichihara

"I don't know, I just came here to have fun." - Leonora

Lucifer and the others raised an eyebrow, but what Leonora said was indeed true, because she really didn't know anything, and she only found out about the family meeting today.

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and said, "If you ask me... besides this family meeting, there's something even more important for this summer's mission: my ultimate plan, a plan I've been preparing for months!"

Lucifer paused for a moment and said, "You look so serious... What is it...? Huh?"

Before Lucifer could finish speaking, Kobayashi Rindou opened the box, this time only a crack. He took out a small red box from inside.

Leonora paused for two seconds before her eyes widened suddenly. She seemed to have guessed something, and if it was true, it would be an extraordinary surprise.

Lucifer and the others also noticed Leonora's expression, and Yuuko Ichihara quickly asked, "Leonora! What's this little red heart-shaped box? Do you recognize it?"

Leonora stared at Kobayashi Rindou in disbelief, swallowed hard, and said, "Rindou, you better tell me it's what I think, or I'll pinch your face until it's swollen!"

"As expected of you!"

Leonora paused for two seconds before exclaiming, but remembering Kobayashi Rindou's words, she quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "This isn't a small surprise, this is an absolutely amazing surprise!"

"I've been saying it's a big surprise..."

Kazami Yuuka asked somewhat anxiously, "So, what exactly is it? What is your plan?"

Leonora turned her head and said, "You three, remember, no excitement, no shouting! Do you hear me!"

"Yeah!" x3

"Quickly! Gentian! Let me see what it looks like!"

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and said softly, "OK...this surprise is..."

Kobayashi Rindou slowly opened the small box, and the next moment Lucifer and the other two's pupils shrank. Leonora also said in a daze, "So beautiful... Lucifer! Yuuko! Hold it in!"

Yuko Ichihara clenched her fists tightly, and after a long while, she stared at the contents of the box and gave an OK sign. Lucifer's eyes were practically glued to the box. He covered his mouth tightly, glanced at Yuko Ichihara, and then turned to look at Yuuka Kazami, who was also shrugging her eyes and covering her mouth with one hand.

As expected, even Kazami Yuuka couldn't resist and broke down completely. Moreover, this was probably the most thorough time she had broken down since the day she confessed. Kazami Yuuka almost exclaimed in surprise.

It took Lucifer and the others a few minutes to calm down. Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and closed the box. Only then did Lucifer and the others completely calm down. After glancing at it, Kobayashi Rindou smiled and said, "What a coincidence, it's Yuuko's..."

Yuko Ichihara pointed to herself in shock. Rindou Kobayashi smiled and nodded, showing Yuko the top of the box. Sure enough, it had a note with a rose on it that said "Yuko." Yuko almost cheered excitedly.

Leonora swallowed hard and said, "Wait... Gentian, the ultimate plan you mentioned isn't...."

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and opened the entire suitcase. The next moment, half the suitcase was filled with identical small red boxes, each with a name written on it: Lucifer, Yuuka Kazami.

Kobayashi Rindou said softly, "My plan... my ultimate plan, the most important thing I believe can only begin this summer after Ari and Aoandon are all in place, is..."

"I want to give to our family, to Yuuko, to Lucy, to Yuuka! Including Erina, Alice, and the others! Including every family member! Every sister..."

"An unforgettable experience, a complete one! One that will make me as excited as a child! One that will make me so happy I'll want to show it off to the whole world! The most beautiful..."

"The proposal ceremony!"

Chapter 171 Everyone's Thoughts: Happiness Isn't Created by One Person Alone (Please Subscribe~)

Everyone in the room stared in shock at Kobayashi Rindou, unsure whether they were stunned by his imposing presence or by his plan.

After a long silence, Lucifer swallowed hard and said, "A...proposal ceremony?"

Kobayashi Rindou nodded and said softly, "Although we've reached the point of discussing marriage and are introduced as engaged to others, we haven't had an engagement ceremony, or even a proposal."

"I'm a woman, so I know exactly what you're thinking. Even though you don't say it, from acquaintance to understanding to love, even though some of you have a short time together, not as long as I have been in love for three whole years, I know very well!"

“Your love for Bai Yu is no less than any of ours. I am well aware that some of you have had experiences with Bai Yu that have deeply moved me.”

Leonora listened quietly, and Lucifer and the others were unusually calm, as if they were meeting Kobayashi Rindou for the first time.

Looking at the small boxes in the box, Kobayashi Rindou said softly, "Tsunade was practically raised by Hakuba; he was Tsunade's greatest source of comfort!"

"Hancock was saved by Shiraha twice, Esdeath was captivated by Shiraha, and Nami put her friendship second in pursuit of her own love. Who remembers that Nami was an orphan and her adoptive mother had passed away? She was also someone who valued family."

"Asagi, Chifuyu-nee, and Momo all treat their families as their most precious treasures, carefully protecting them..."

"Ali has gained the freedom she wanted, both spiritual and material freedom, and only then did she have the courage to break free from the shackles that bound her."

"Kirori has gained recognition and support, which is like the only warm sun in the darkness for her, who has always been misunderstood and lived under the infamy imposed on her by the outside world."

"Yuno goes without saying. The torment Yuno has endured is beyond what normal people can easily imagine. Countless times, Yuno has been on the verge of collapse, trembling on the edge of the abyss, yet she still had to keep moving forward... Yuno once said that Shiraha was her everything..."

"And you, Yuuka... your feelings for him were exceptionally complicated, you should know the bitterness of it all better than anyone else. And you, Yuuko, your relationship with Shiroha is the most special in the family, without exception. You are also one of the people who cherish and value family and loved ones the most..."

"Lucy, you stayed behind for your love, putting your own identity behind that of a good woman and wife..."

Yuuko Ichihara and Yuuka Kazami remained silent for a moment, Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief, and Leonora listened quietly. Since going to the bathroom, she had sobered up halfway, and with the big surprise just now, Leonora was completely sober.

She had initially thought that these people were gathered together simply because of their charm and the passage of time, but she never imagined that each and every one of them, all those smiling people, had actually experienced so much.

No wonder they got along so well, no wonder they came together; they were all poor souls yearning for a place to call home, for family and love... Many of them came together because they wanted a family...

For the first time, Leonora felt that Bai Yu was perhaps even more outstanding, more... more charming, and more reliable than she had imagined. Was he really just an ordinary restaurant manager? Perhaps he was, but... he would also be a good husband. Leonora's last remaining concerns vanished.

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled softly and said, "And me!"

Everyone looked at Kobayashi Rindou, who clenched his fist and shouted, "I'm the first one! I'm the first person of all! The first to know him! The first to become familiar with him! The first to fall in love with him..."

"But...do you know what I felt every time a new person joined the group before I made all the decisions and bravely took that final step?!"

Lucifer and the others remained silent for a moment. Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and said, "Zi said she wanted a formal proposal that included everything."

"I am a woman, I know you all too well, because I know myself! Everything is beautiful when we met, everything is beautiful when we got to know each other, and it is still the same when we fell in love. I believe it will still be the same when we get married in the future."

"However, as a woman, just like we discussed at noon, everyone has their own ideal proposal ceremony, and it's an essential experience. Life should always be fulfilling, right? I believe... whether it's an engagement or a proposal, it's all beautiful..."

"Because they are beautiful in themselves, and there are many family members, everyone knows that this part may not happen, just like the New Year."

"To avoid causing dissatisfaction among others, Bai Yu would stay alone while everyone else was gathered together, or he would travel abroad. This was still the case with his marriage proposal."

Leonora asked with some surprise, "Does Bai Yu always spend holidays alone?"

"Yes...that's why my parents always say I'm stupid. I only found out recently that Bai Yu has considered everything and always puts everyone first."

"Just like Kraki's mother said, don't take this for granted. Happiness is never created by Bai Yu alone, but by the efforts of the whole family. So... this time, I'm going to do something."

"Bai Yu has always been the one to surprise us before. This time, it's our turn. Besides, isn't this all for our own benefit? So... I need your cooperation. This is so that we can live a life without regrets."

Yuuko Ichihara and the other three were silent for a long time before Lucifer said softly, "That's it?"

"Ok?"

"We have the materials, but what about the plan?"

"Oh, oh, oh, that's why I called you here to discuss this matter!"

"Then hurry up and tell me!" x4

Chapter 172 The Group's Mission, Leonora's Choice (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, the five people were sitting on the sofa in the room. Kobayashi Rindou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the four people with serious expressions. Leonora laughed and said, "Looks like we made the right choice this time. We've hit the jackpot. Alice and Erina are going to go crazy with excitement."

Lucifer waved his hand and said, "I don't know if Alice and the others are crazy, but Kirari and Albedo are definitely going to go crazy. Not to mention them, even the three of us almost cried out in excitement just now."

Yuko Ichihara nodded and said, "Yeah, Rindou, I was wondering why you were being so mysterious! This isn't some big surprise! This is a bomb!"

"Talking about all that is pointless. What I want to know right now is what kind of plan it is..."

Upon hearing Yuuka Kazami's "ha," Lucifer chuckled and said, "Yuuka, it seems that, given your relationship with Yukari, you're probably envious?"

Kazami Yuuka silently turned her head away without saying a word. Just kidding, that bastard Yakumo Yukari, ever since they became sisters, she often comes over to her place to mooch tea. That's not the point. The point is, after drinking it, she even intentionally or unintentionally brings up the amusement park incident from that day.

Kazami Yuuka was practically grinding her teeth to dust. If this bastard weren't one of her own, she would have beaten her to death! Beaten her into fertilizer! So for several days, Kazami Yuuka simply ignored Yakumo Yukari.

Yuko Ichihara said with a smile, "Alright, alright, Rindou, hurry up and tell me the plan, Yuuka is getting impatient."

Leonora said irritably, "I don't know if Yuuka is in a hurry or not, but I'm dying of anxiety! You little brat! Hurry up and tell me!"

Lucifer and the others nodded. Kobayashi Rindou coughed lightly and said, "Actually, there's a reason why I've asked the four of you to come."

"Yuko, as you said before, I hope Shiraha can..."

Yuko Ichihara exclaimed in sudden realization, "Oh! I know! Clothes, right? That's easy!"
