People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Then there was... (several hundred words omitted here)."

Just as everyone was finding their places and waiting as instructed by Yuuko Ichihara, Shiraha's phone suddenly rang. Yuuka Kazami breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this part went smoothly.

"Yes, I am Bai Yu. May I ask who you are...?"

"Eh? Flowers? Miss Kazami and Mrs. Leonora ordered them... Oh, I see, please wait a moment."

After the call ended, everyone looked at Bai Yu with confusion. Nakiri Managi asked in bewilderment, "Bai Yu, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "It seems like Leonora and Youxiang ordered a bouquet of flowers. Did you order it?"

Kazami Yuuka nodded and said, "Yes, roses, everyone gets one."

"Then why don't you keep your own?"

"Because giving roses is definitely a man's job."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "That's true. Okay, then you can wait a bit."

"Hmm!" xn

Bai Yu turned and left. Lantabi smiled and said, "Roses, how romantic! Is this the surprise you were talking about?"

Just as Nakiri Managi and the others were about to agree, they all froze. Kobayashi Rindou immediately shouted, "Leonora! Get ready! I'm counting on you!"

"Huh?" xn

Leonora nodded, and Yukari Yakumo was about to speak when she froze, because Leonora looked very serious and took out a walkie-talkie, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Yumeko Jabami exclaimed in surprise, "A walkie-talkie?! Is this... is this still a family photo?"

Momoko Akane hugged Butch and whispered, "Yes, but only after the ceremony is over."

"A ritual?!"

Eirin Yagokoro said blankly, "Eh?! How did this become a ceremony again? What ceremony? There's a ceremony before taking a family photo?"

Just as Tsunade was about to speak, she heard Leonora shout into the walkie-talkie, "Mr. Leto, Mr. Leto, can you hear me?"

"Lady Leonora, please give your instructions."

"Bai Yu is going to get the flowers now. Now, have the drones on standby. Take off immediately when Bai Yu appears on the beach with the flowers! Over!"

"Received, over!"

Before anyone could react, they saw Yuko Ichihara make a phone call and say softly, "When you see the flower fall, everyone come out automatically. Don't wait, just come out. Mr. Leto will give you instructions. Make sure the candles don't go out, and most importantly, don't drop what you're holding!"

"that is it!"

Sonoko said blankly, "No... what does this mean...?"

Before Nami and the others could react, Leonora jumped to the side from her position, grabbed a walkie-talkie, and shouted, "Everyone! Everyone! Evacuate to the beach!"

"Yes!"xn

Chifuyu Orimura stammered, "No...no...what's going on? Why has it suddenly become so serious? What kind of ritual is this?"

Rindou Kobayashi said softly, "A ceremony that can make you all cry... Leonora! Is the camera ready?!"

"Don't worry, there's no problem. The lighting and water level are fine too!"

"Okay! Final check, is everything ready?"

"Ready!"

Hearing the voices coming from the walkie-talkie and from Erina and the others around them, everyone was stunned for a moment. Kobayashi Rindou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well then... everyone... this summer, the real purpose, the real plan, begins!"

"Huh?" xn

Just then, a drone suddenly appeared in the sky. Tsunade and the others quickly looked to the side, and Medici hurriedly called out, "Leonora! Come back quickly!"

Leonora shook her head and said, "It's not the right time yet, Mr. Leto. How about the camera?"

"Very good, should we slow down?"

"Yes, keep the sense of shadow and light."

"Received, over!"

The words had barely left her lips when Shion Kanadein, about to speak, suddenly covered her mouth. Everyone else following her gaze stared in disbelief—a bouquet of flowers, a huge bouquet, a vibrant red, the red of passionate love—roses…

Shinononozuka stared blankly and said, "What a huge bouquet... This... there must be hundreds of roses!"

Yuuka Kazami said softly, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine roses..."

Everyone had heard of this number, and everyone knew there were nine hundred and ninety-nine roses, but they had never actually seen them before, never seen so many roses in front of them.

Roses, the flower that symbolizes love, make any woman's heart beat in sync with the rhythm of her lover's footsteps when she sees nine hundred and ninety-nine roses in front of her.

When Bai Yu arrived, Klara immediately exclaimed with a smile, "Wow! I've finally seen what real nine hundred and ninety-nine roses look like! They're so beautiful!"

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "So, what do you mean by 'everyone has it'? You don't mean each person gets 999, do you?"

Kobayashi Rindou smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, nine hundred and ninety-nine roses represent the pinnacle of love, symbolizing all the beautiful meanings in love. Right now, wouldn't it be better for everyone to get one rose from this pinnacle?"

Everyone nodded in understanding, and Tsunade quickly said, "Hey, hey, Shiraha, come here, we're just missing you and Leonora."

Just as Bai Yu was about to leave, he heard Kobayashi Rindou, Lucifer, Kazami Yuuka, Erina, Alice, Akanekubo Momo, Hisako, and Baphomet shout in unison, "Don't move!"

Everyone was taken aback. Yuuko Ichihara breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Phew... It must be time. All the preparations today were for this moment!"

"Eh?"

Just as Bai Yu was about to say something, he saw a group of people with exquisite makeup and wearing the same clothes. They each held a scented candle in one hand and a wooden tray with three red boxes stacked on it in the other.

"Huh? What is this... what is this?"

Rindou Kobayashi chuckled before saying softly, "Haven't you all been wanting to know what the surprise I was talking about was? Didn't I say I was going to do a magic trick...?"

"Huh?" xn

Instead of approaching the women, these people stood in a neat heart shape, surrounding Bai Yu. Bai Yu glanced at them, slightly taken aback, before chuckling and saying, "This isn't a surprise... it's beyond surprise..."

"Huh?" xn

Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them. After a long while, Yukari Yakumo suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed in disbelief, "What... what's in that box?!"

Everyone looked at the boxes on the wooden tray. They didn't know why, but they felt like they had seen them somewhere before, but they just couldn't remember. Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "According to your plan, shouldn't I open these boxes?"

Kobayashi Rindou smiled but didn't say anything. Bai Yu, under everyone's expectant gaze, slowly opened a box, and the next moment everyone covered their mouths.

An exquisite diamond ring lay there, exactly the design they had voted for. A sparkling diamond looked exceptionally beautiful in the sunset. The ring band wasn't round, but rather shaped like a Möbius strip, with thorns and roses intertwined.

The two protruding roses are adorned with dazzling sapphires and rubies at their centers, and the entire piece is made of silver, giving it an exceptionally noble and elegant appearance. As for the other details, they cannot see them for the time being.

Even Tianyu Zhanzhan's pupils shrank, and almost everyone covered their mouths with one hand, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.

Yumeko Jabami stammered, "So...so beautiful..."

Gurefia, unusually surprised, said, "Is this why you asked us this question?! The ritual you mentioned is... is..."

No one spoke. Bai Yu silently opened each box. Before long, everyone saw that all the boxes on the ceremonial staff's wooden tray had been opened, and one after another, exquisite diamond rings that were exactly the same appeared quietly before everyone's eyes.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes fixed on the scene before them, one hand covering their mouth. They had never felt their hearts beating so fast before.

At this moment, even the most clueless among them would know what this ritual was, and even the most childish among them would know what surprise Kobayashi Rindou had prepared. This was no longer a surprise; it had transcended the realm of surprise.

Everyone froze. Whether you were a great demon or a demon queen, a dimensional witch or the strongest Valkyrie, a successful entrepreneur or a young lady, no matter who you were... at this moment, regardless of your identity, everyone only knew that they were a woman waiting for their ring.

Bai Yu chuckled and said softly, "According to this plan... I should... place the flower here, then take one, turn around, and look at the ring, like this..."

Bai Yu, holding Kobayashi Rindou's ring and a bouquet of roses, walked to the front of the stage and then, amidst the gasps of the crowd, knelt on one knee and raised the ring in his hand.

Kobayashi Rindou covered his mouth and stared blankly at Bai Yu, who held up the ring and said gently, "You've been preparing for today's plan for a long time, haven't you?"

"You are the first person I met when I came to this city, and also my first guest. I know that as a man, I can't give you all the space in my heart, but I can promise that I will never forget the person named Kobayashi Rindou."

"I know that you were the first person to create the group chat, and the sisters in the group all went into hiding. Although you seemed indifferent, you must have been a little upset. I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."

"I know I owe you something, but I still choose to do my best to do better, just like I promised, I will make every day of yours feel like a date..."

Bai Yu smiled slightly and said gently, "So, are you willing to give me this opportunity, Miss Kobayashi...?"

Kobayashi Rindou, his eyes red-rimmed, covered his mouth and stammered, "Wh...what opportunity?"

"Miss Kobayashi, will you marry me?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts seemed to skip a beat. Kobayashi Rindou couldn't hold back and burst into tears, but still managed a smile as he said, "Didn't you hear me..."

"Miss Kobayashi! Will you marry me?"

Kobayashi Rindou covered his mouth and laughed, saying, "I do!"

Bai Yu said nothing, only smiled and silently lifted Kobayashi Rindou's left hand. A delicate diamond ring, a ring that belonged only to Kobayashi Rindou, was slowly slipped onto the middle finger of her left hand. (For proposals and engagements, the middle finger is used; for wedding rings, the ring finger is used.)

Just right, her already fair and beautiful hands became even more beautiful now, because of the diamond ring, which carried the promise between her and her lover, the memories of the past, and the future she looked forward to.

Kobayashi Rindou couldn't see anything clearly because her eyes were filled with tears, but she knew she was very happy, incredibly happy. She felt she had never been so happy before, never...

Those around them wore expressions of longing and envy, but even more so, anticipation, because they knew this was just the beginning, and they understood that they too had a piece of that diamond ring in store for them...

Bai Yu stood up, wiped away Kobayashi Rindou's tears, and then handed her a rose, saying gently, "One in nine hundred and ninety-nine, this is the pinnacle of love..."

"Um..."

Kobayashi Rindou held a rose in one hand and covered her mouth with the other, crying. Shiraha sighed and said, "Well... suddenly I feel a little nervous..."

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled, wiped away his tears, and said, "Hurry up! We're in time for this golden hour! Hurry, hurry! These people must be getting impatient..."

Bai Yu nodded and then walked over to the previous etiquette staff. After circling around, he finally found a box, breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked in one direction. Everyone held their breath, even though they knew that the order didn't mean anything, but the anticipation was truly agonizing.

Everyone hopes that this person will be them, but they also feel that their sisters might be more suitable, after all, they may have experienced more.

Everyone was stunned, yet they all felt that it should be her...

P.S.: It's impossible to write a detailed description for everyone.

Chapter 283 The Proposal Operation in Progress (Part Two) (Please Subscribe~)

Everyone watched silently as Shirayu knelt on one knee, holding up a ring, and in front of him... Yuuko Ichihara, covering her mouth in disbelief...

No one was surprised at all, as if it were only natural. Everyone in the family knew that Ichihara Yuuko was... a... a person with a very special status.

Bai Yu felt the same way about them all, but if he had to say who left a special impression on him, Ichihara Yuko would definitely be at the top of the list.

Bai Yu said gently, "Yuko, you said you are the most special person. Yes, you are indeed the most special person. I know your experiences, and I know your thoughts."

“I know very well that you are one of the most cowardly. You have given up everything in your past to embrace your unknown future, and that future has been handed over to me.”

“Yuko, you said that you lost everything. The current Yuko Ichihara is just Yuko Ichihara. I only know about Yuko Ichihara.”

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "All I know is that in my memory, Ichihara Yuko came wearing a gorgeous dress, and her beauty amazed everyone."

Did it amaze you?

"If it weren't for that, perhaps I wouldn't have accepted this contract so willingly..."

"loquacious..."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Well... after that, it was like this... aloof, noble, with a mysterious feeling of being excluded from time and everything, a kind of inexplicable charm."

"All I know is that my impression of Yuko Ichihara started from this, from such a magnificent beginning, and I still can't forget that noble demeanor."

Yuko Ichihara covered her mouth and mumbled, "And then?"

"Later...Later, Yuuko left, and Ichihara Yuuko stayed. Ichihara Yuuko herself said that Yuuko had died, and the one who remained was the new her, the one who is now."

"She seems to be filled with curiosity, anticipation, nervousness, and even a faint fear because she has just been resurrected. Yuko, you have never said this before, but I know very well that you have given up everything and you are in a strange world."

"You don't know anyone, you can't do anything, and the only person you can trust is precisely the one you're most unfamiliar with and most worried about. This fear has lasted for a long time, hasn't it..."

Yuko Ichihara sniffed and laughed, saying, "Really... do you really have to bring out my cowardly side? Yes... I'm scared, I'm so scared... strangers, strangers, still strangers... but right now I really want to say... I'm grateful for this strangeness."
