People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Well, that's a mixed bag. It seems Hannah has already told you about it."

Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right. Hannah hasn't given up on tennis yet, nor has she lost confidence. She's just conserving her energy. This is all thanks to Shiraha-nii."

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying softly, "Time will lead her to the right choice. She was just too kind and weak back then. There's really nothing to worry about. All we need to do is let her maintain that sincerity with a mature mindset."

Tsunade sighed and said, "As expected of you. Eh? That brat seems to have noticed us."

At this moment on the court, Hannah was still completely dominating Ryoma Echizen. She had never stopped practicing over the years, and her fighting power was far superior to what it used to be. She was not someone a kid who had not yet reached the professional level could compete with.

Even Genichiro couldn't beat her. Tezuka might be able to put up a fight, since he already has the skill of a professional player. However, he's still a bit short of winning against a veteran player. The U17 team here is truly monster.

boom!

"Hey kid, don't be so distracted while playing ball. What are you looking at?"

Ryoma Echizen stammered, "Captain Tezuka..."

"Eh? Captain Tezuka? Kunimitsu?"

Hannah turned her head and saw Tezuka Kunimitsu. Just as she was about to greet him, her racket suddenly fell to the ground. Jabami Yumeko said with a smile, "Oh dear, honey, you've been found out."

Bai Yu smiled, shook his head, stood up, and waved to Hannah. Hannah quickly turned her head away, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Hmm?"

Chapter 340 Bai Yu's WeChat Moments: More Than Friends, Less Than Lovers (Please Subscribe~)

Everyone looked puzzled. What was this reaction? Ryoma Echizen's eyes twitched, because from his angle he could clearly see Hannah's appearance.

Previously, when playing tennis, Hannah's absolute confidence and heroic demeanor were completely absent. Now, all that could be seen was Hannah with her head slightly lowered, her pupils trembling, and her face filled with disbelief.

Nami asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yu simply smiled and shook his head without saying a word. Hannah's immediate thought was, "Why is he here?! Why didn't he say anything?! I'm wearing my sportswear today! Is it too casual? Is my hair and makeup a little messy from playing sports?"

Ryoma Echizen didn't say anything, but pointed at Hannah before shrugging. Shiraha smiled, walked over, patted the tennis net, and said gently, "Hannah, what are you doing?"

Hannah's eyes twitched, then she sighed, stood up, and said somewhat helplessly, "Bai Yu! How did you suddenly appear without telling me?!"

Bai Yu squatted down by the tennis net and said with a smile, "I'm on vacation in the neighboring country. I'll be moving around in a couple of days, so I came to see Guoguang. It's only a little over an hour's flight. Surprised?"

Hannah bit her lip and looked at Bai Yu with a resentful expression, saying, "You're so annoying! I didn't prepare anything! I just wore a tracksuit!"

"Hannah, you used to look better in sportswear. Hmm, not bad. You've changed your hairstyle from straight ponytail to what it is now. Hannah, you've learned to dress yourself up now."

"What's so pleasing to the eye! Honestly... But you, who's so popular with women, wouldn't have come alone, would you? Tell me, did you bring your girlfriend?"

Pandemonica, standing some distance away, tilted her head and said, "Huh? This tone, this conversation, it really sounds like they're just ordinary friends. Could they really be close ordinary friends?"

Kirari thought for a moment and said, "But... can a husband's charm really keep a naive girl from a very open country from being moved after experiencing a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario, and still be considered a high-quality man?"

Erina scratched her head and said, "Yeah, it seems like they chatted for quite a while. I feel like my husband is still very charming. What do you think, Tsunade?"

“I’m just sitting here watching. What else can I watch? My husband has too many friends, both men and women. There’s Koizumi Akako, who went to the same school as Kaito, those two policewomen from before, Lux, whom Lucy always called a traitor, and Fiona, who clearly has ill intentions.”

Nami nodded and said, "Yeah, yeah, and there's Momoi Satsuki, who's also very close to me, and Mai Shiranui, who hasn't appeared in a long time. It all seems so amazing. It's hard to tell what these people are really thinking."

Fuji Syusuke thought for a moment and said, "I know Akako-nee. It seems she likes Shiraha-nii. She even gave him chocolates on Valentine's Day two years ago. As for May-nee... I'm not so sure. They seem to be like siblings."

Jabami Yumeko said with a smile, "Oh my, Shusuke, you've provided some really important information."

"Actually, I paid a lot of attention to this when my sister first started dating Bai Yu, so I learned a little about it. As for Hannah, I haven't heard much about her, so I'm not really sure what's going on with her."

Tezuka Kunimitsu said softly, "Hannah and Shiraha's relationship is complicated. It can't be described as love between lovers, but it goes beyond the feelings of ordinary friends."

Eirin Yagokoro thought for a moment and said, "It feels a bit like a close friend."

"That's right, there's some truth to that, but I can sense that Hannah has a side that we don't usually see when she's with Bai Yu. It's probably a soft side of her heart."

Kikumaru Eiji quickly took out his phone, and Oishi Shuichiro asked in confusion, "Eiji, what's wrong?"

"We need to call the little one over quickly! Look at that little one, watching the show like that, isn't he just being a third wheel?"

"Oh! Right, right, Eiji, hurry up and send a message to Echizen. Um... I think it's unnecessary. It seems like those two have finished talking."

At this moment, Hannah leaned against the protective net and said with a smile, "Looks like this is a member of Guoguang. Not bad, but he still has a lot to learn. You've been watching for quite a while, haven't you?"

"It's alright. Hannah, your skills have improved quite a bit, and the kid's skills have improved too. No wonder Genichiro couldn't beat you."

Hannah laughed and said, "I do practice every day, thanks to you, I haven't given up tennis. But since I've already disappeared once, I need to come back with absolute strength so that there won't be any strange comments."

Ryoma Echizen tilted his head and said, "So you two were a couple before?"

Hannah blushed and secretly glanced at Bai Yu before saying in an annoyed tone, "Kid, we're just friends but not quite lovers."

"Oh...but that doesn't matter. You're pretty amazing. Who exactly are you? Hmm? Captain Tezuka?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu said in a deep voice, "Echizen, the person in front of you is my rehabilitation instructor. She used to be a professional player and one of the top players who had the potential to win a Grand Slam. She has been honing her skills over the years. It's not a problem that you are no match for her."

Hannah nudged the protective net with her elbow and said with a smile, "Hey, Shirayu, just like you said, Guoguang is really a bit rigid."

"I meant it was too serious, not rigid. Don't misunderstand me."

"Hmph, what's the difference! Really! Oh my, it seems this kid's fighting spirit has been ignited. I remember your name is... Echizen Ryoma, right? Since you're a member of Kunimitsu's team that they highly regard, then I'll call you Ryoma."

"Ok?"

"Ryoma, who are you planning to challenge? It's not Shiraha, is it? That guy isn't just a professional player."

Ryoma Echizen said in a deep voice, "I know, I played a game with him, but... is he beyond the skill level of a professional player? Shall we play another game?"

Chapter 341 Ryoma Echizen Fails Again, His Family Cheers Him On (Please Subscribe~)

Everyone stared at Echizen Ryoma in astonishment. Momoshiro Takeshi quickly exclaimed, "Oh dear! Echizen! You're no match for Mr. Shiraha!"

Fuji Syusuke said with a smile, "I don't think Shiraha-nii will refuse."

Bai Yu curled his lips and said, "Alright then, since you want to play with me so much, I'll play another round with you. But don't cry if you lose."

Hannah chuckled, and Ryoma Echizen clicked his tongue and said, "I won't cry... Come on!"

Shiraha smiled and shook his head. Erina had thought Shiraha wouldn't agree, but to her surprise, Jabami Yumeko said with a smile, "Oh my, my husband is going to play ball. I'm really looking forward to it, aren't I, Erina?"

Erina nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. I've never seen my husband play tennis, but I have seen him play basketball."

"Really? How is it?"

"So handsome."

"I'm really looking forward to it! Good luck, honey!"

Bai Yu took the tennis racket from Hannah, swung it around a bit, and then said gently, "I remember you beat Genichiro, so let me ask you again, do you want to be able to touch the ball, or not?"

Ryoma Echizen paused for a moment and said, "Eh? Did Sanada have the same question when you played ball with him?"

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, no, no, it's not just Sanada, but also Renji, Seiichi, Kunimitsu, Shusuke, and some official expedition team members. I had the same question when they played with me. Oh, and recently Atobe has joined the team as well."

Kikumaru Eiji swallowed hard and said, "My god, they're all captains of their respective teams... Mr. Shiraha is terrifying! But what's the expedition team?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu said in a deep voice: "The U17 training team is a tennis team composed of teenagers under the age of seventeen. It is made up of elites from various schools, forming a brand-new team that represents their country to compete in the world and become a team of truly top players."

Oishi Shuichiro said with some surprise, "There really is such a team? U17... a team that conquers the world... Tezuka, this team is a high school team, right?"

"That's right. When you all get to high school, you can try joining. You'll see how big the world is then."

"Hmm!" xn

Ryoma Echizen said in a deep voice, "Oh? That's really interesting. I want to know what Tezuka-sama and Fuji-senpai will choose?"

"They'll choose to touch the ball."

"Then I'll choose this one too..."

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head. Tezuka Kunimitsu closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "Echizen has no idea what his choice will determine. He doesn't have enough counter-attack skills."

"Huh?" xn

"You can serve first."

Ryoma Echizen didn't object. This time, Ryoma Echizen didn't underestimate him and directly used his left-handed outside spin serve. Hannah smiled and shook her head, saying, "This kind of power and serve won't make Shiraha take it seriously."

Bai Yu didn't say anything and casually returned the ball with a high lob. The moment Echizen Ryoma jumped up, he saw Bai Yu standing a little in front of the net.

With a smash, Bai Yu casually intercepted it, followed by another high lob. Before Echizen Ryoma could even land, he was already down. After landing, he quickly ran towards the backcourt, hit a ball, and before he could even react, a tennis ball appeared at his feet.

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Is high-lob shot fun?"

Momoshiro Takeshi exclaimed in surprise, "What incredible arm strength! He can intercept and smash so easily!"

Fuji Syusuke said gently, "Playing with Shiraha-nii is like playing without air resistance. If you jump, you'll get completely outmaneuvered."

"Uh...this is too terrifying, Oishi-senpai, what's wrong with you?"

Oishi Shuichiro said in disbelief, "Such strong ball control. I took a quick look and every time Mr. Shiraha hits the ball, he aims at the baseline. And most importantly... he can always make the ball appear where he wants it to appear, while he himself is already standing in the predetermined position waiting."

The service games were a complete disaster, a total thrashing. When it was Bai Yu's turn to serve, Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Hey? How about I teach you a couple of serves?"

"Ok?"

boom!

A tennis ball was hit, and Erina stared blankly and said, "Was that a rainbow?"

"Wow, that's beautiful! How did you type that?"

Ryoma Echizen was also taken aback for a moment. Bai Yu smiled and said, "Isn't it interesting? It's something that a brat used before. If you can use it when you meet him in the future, you might give him a surprise."

Hannah said irritably, "Stop being so cunning, hurry up, it's so hot."

"Alright, let's try the second serve then. Watch carefully..."

boom!

Another ball was hit, and everyone was stunned the next moment because many balls appeared in the sky. Ryoma Echizen was also in disbelief, but after swinging his racket, he passed right through one of the balls.

"this...."

"Zero to thirty... Shall we continue?"

Ryoma Echizen said in a deep voice, "We're still far from it... Continue..."

As a result, a few minutes later, Ryoma Echizen was completely exhausted, while Shiraha seemed perfectly fine. Hannah sighed and said, "You're really cunning, but this kid's willpower is quite impressive."

"He's alright, Kunimitsu. Take good care of your team members, this kid's not bad... Shusuke, when are you guys going back to Japan?"

"The day after tomorrow afternoon, I plan to visit other cities tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow afternoon... Contact me after dinner tonight. See you later, Hannah. Are you going to reply to the health center?"

"There's still some time to go, and it's not convenient for me to bother Guoguang and the others if they want to transfer, so I guess I'll just have to stick with you since I'm all alone."

Tezuka Kunimitsu said softly, "Hannah, you..."

"Don't worry, Guoguang. You don't need to say things like you can practice on your own. See you later."

"it is good..."

Chapter 342 Vermouth's Troubles, Zdrada's Advice (Please Subscribe~)

Bai Yu and the others left again, this time with Hannah by their side. Hannah politely greeted Yagokoro Eirin and the others, saying, "Hello, I'm Bai Yu's friend, Hannah Eisinheimer. Just call me Hannah."

Eirin Yagokoro nodded and said, "Hmm... So, are you really just ordinary friends?"

Hannah paused for a moment before laughing and saying, "Of course, but I'd say it's more like, more than friends, but not quite lovers. Oh, I see, you guys suspect that Bai Yu and I have some kind of relationship, right?"

Tsunade scratched her head and said, "That's what I think, but it's not unacceptable. After all, you saw it yourself, how could one person enjoy it all by themselves?"

"Pfft... Indeed, when I first saw this guy, he was always being hit on by women. He was never short of beautiful women around him."

Erina snorted and said, "A bunch of shallow women, don't even think about getting close. But Hannah, from what you and your husband said, you haven't given up tennis yet, you're still conserving your energy. So, are you going to go back to playing professional tennis?"

Hannah nodded and said, "Of course, I will definitely fight back. Otherwise, all Bai Yu's advice to me back then would have been for nothing."

Vermouth laughed and said, "When it comes to counseling people, my dear is a pro."

"Right? I think so too. But speaking of which, I didn't expect that the famous Chris Vineyard is also Bai Yu's girlfriend."
