People who are interested in comics will never die in the Shura field

The shop owner gently adjusted his hat: "Since you've sincerely challenged me, I'll respond without hesitation. Let's use the next match as a benchmark; if you lose, you can't deny it."

"Don't worry, I'm not one of those people who can't accept defeat," Yamabuki Hanajin said confidently.

After all, this time I didn't lose because of the taste, but because of the sentiment.

Two years ago, Heinrich ate fried shrimp when he was starving, so he must have been particularly fond of the dish. Therefore, his evaluation was heavily influenced by his subjective opinion, which is understandable.

Next time, Yamabuki Hanajin is confident that she will not lose.

And so they waited silently for the third guest to arrive.

……

In another world, inside the palace of a kingdom.

A silver-haired girl was coughing incessantly, and her maids were very worried. It seemed that Her Highness the Princess had accidentally contracted tuberculosis during her inspection tour.

The other world is completely helpless against this fungal infection; neither medicine nor magic has any effect.

"Cough cough! Cough cough!"

Adilheid coughed as he reminisced about his childhood.

My grandfather was a remarkable man. Fifty years ago, this country was a very poor and weak border country that no one would give a second glance to. But since my grandfather became king, he has transformed this small country into the strongest empire on the continent in just fifty years.

Unfortunately, the old king passed away not long ago, and Adilhaid felt an even heavier burden on his shoulders.

In an effort to strengthen the cohesion of the fallen kingdom, Adilhead personally inspected the slums, only to unexpectedly contract tuberculosis, a disease that neither doctors nor magicians could cure.

Although the maidservants around Adilheide cared deeply for her, they had no way to stop the pain and could only watch silently.

"I really want to eat clouds again." Adilhead lay on his bed, silently thinking about a magical experience he had as a child.

There is a secret room somewhere in the castle with a special door. According to Grandpa, it is a secret base that he never tells anyone about, and he only took himself in once.

On the other side of the door was a kind old man and a middle-aged man who looked very young. The two of them were making all kinds of delicious dishes.

But what Adilheid remembers most vividly is something that tastes sweet and is like a torch.

Unfortunately, she only ate it once in her life, and never had the chance to eat it a second time.

"Your Highness, please go to sleep early. We are all very worried about your health." The maid looked at Adilhead with concern.

"Don't worry, it's probably just a bad cold. Cough cough cough, cough cough cough, it'll get better on its own in a while, cough cough cough!" Adilhead couldn't help but cough as he spoke.

The maid gently closed the door, allowing the princess to rest well.

However, just as the maid turned around, a strange door suddenly appeared in the room.

There's a cute little cat painted on the door.

Welcome to the Otherworldly Restaurant.

Please select your food.

Chapter 853 (Main Text · 856) Chocolate Sundae vs. Iced Tangyuan

The door to the otherworldly cafeteria opened, and a new world unfolded before Adilhead. At one time, she thought it was just a dream, but she never expected that the dream would become reality.

Looking at the elegant and classic decor of the Cat House Western Restaurant, Adilheide, despite being a princess, was still somewhat timid.

Suddenly, a red-haired girl dressed as a maid rushed over and grabbed her hand: "Welcome! If nothing unexpected happens, you're the last customer today. Is there anything you'd like to eat? Just tell me loudly, and I'll do my best to fulfill your request!"

Perhaps the girl's enthusiasm startled Adilheid, as the fright caused him to cough even more violently.

"Are you sick? Do you want me to take you to see a doctor? If you trust me, I can also help you with treatment, though I don't know if it will be effective." Yamabuki Hanajin was determined to avenge her previous defeat and win this match.

"I...cough cough cough, I'm sorry, please don't get too close to me, I think...I think I've contracted a lung disease, cough cough cough, I'm very sorry, I'll leave now." Adilheid looked apologetic.

Suddenly, Yamabuki Hanajin grabbed her shoulders and pressed her down.

"It's not a big problem. Modern medical technology is very advanced; treating lung diseases is a piece of cake. Let's eat first, and then I'll take you to see a doctor. Manager, is it alright if I ask for leave later?" Yamabuki Hanajin asked.

"Whatever." The shopkeeper said gently, "You must be Mr. William's granddaughter? I remember you; you came here with Mr. William when you were little."

Adilheim's eyes lit up immediately.

"Um... I ate this once when I was little... Yun, I don't know if you still remember it..."

"Of course I remember. It's on me today. One chocolate sundae. Yamabuki, our duel begins. You said it yourself, this is the final showdown." The shop owner was confident of victory.

Yamabuki Hanajin crossed her arms. Are you still trying to play the emotional card this time?

Adilheid sat beside him, looking on with anticipation.

Upon arriving at the back kitchen, the owner had already taken off his apron: "I've prepared this much faster this time. What are you planning to do?"

Chocolate sundaes are a very simple ice cream to prepare.

Yamabuki Hanajin looked serious. What dish should she use to win? Most girls, especially young girls, like to eat cold and icy things.

What's more, this duel also has the added bonus of a memory buff.

Achieving victory would be extremely difficult.

"However, are you sure you want to take this girl to a hospital in the modern world?" The shopkeeper's expression was somewhat grave. "I think it's better not to mix the two worlds together; there's always the possibility of trouble."

"Don't worry, I've already mixed up many worlds, nothing will go wrong. Don't disturb me while I'm thinking." Yamabuki Hanajin gently pinched her chin with her hand.

This is simply an unsolvable problem.

The girl had a bad cough, and eating ice could temporarily relieve it. This meant that she would feel much better after eating the chocolate sundae.

With all the buffs stacked up, it's almost impossible for me to win this game.

"So, who exactly are you? Are you really like the Red Queen said, able to travel between different worlds?" the shopkeeper asked.

"Of course, who do you think I am? I've got it, come and help. Do you know how to make tangyuan?" Yamabuki Hanajin took out strawberries, spinach, and cornmeal.

Juice the strawberries and spinach separately, then mix them with flour.

Without hesitation, the shop owner immediately came over to help.

By mixing flour with different fruit juices, colorful dough is obtained. Various fillings are then wrapped inside. After cooking, these tiny glutinous rice balls, which are only the size of a fingernail, are scooped out and placed in cold water, which makes them more chewy.

"It seems unlikely that you can win with just glutinous rice balls," the shop owner asked.

"It's not easy, but do you know there's a kind of dessert called iced glutinous rice balls?" After cooking the glutinous rice balls, Yamabuki Hanajin started to boil brown sugar water. After the brown sugar water was boiled and cooled, it was finally put into the bottom of the bowl.

Place the cooked glutinous rice balls in the middle layer, top with crushed ice, and then sprinkle with various fruits and nuts.

Each little glutinous rice ball is as translucent as a pearl.

The shop owner and Areta both crowded around to look at the bowl of dessert in front of them.

"You really have a way with things. I suddenly feel a little lacking in confidence," the store manager said in a low voice.

Yamabuki Hanajin took out three spoons and gave each person a small glutinous rice ball.

The glutinous rice balls are clear, refreshing, sweet, and creamy.

"Can I have another one?" Areta looked at Yamabuki Hanajin with a pleading expression.

"This is for the guest. I'll make you another one when I get back. Alright, the final showdown begins." Yamabuki Hanajin held up the iced glutinous rice balls with a serious expression, while the shop owner also prepared a chocolate sundae. Both desserts were placed on Adilhead's table at the same time.

“This… I don’t think I ordered this dish…” Adilhead hadn’t brought any money with him because he had left in a hurry.

"This is a gift for you, you can eat it without worry. Also, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with. This iced glutinous rice ball dish is a new addition to our menu, and I'd like you to give a fair evaluation of which of the two dishes is tastier." The shop owner looked at the little princess in front of him with a gentle expression.

Yamabuki Hanakami reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Manager, you're actually a pretty good person."

"I just don't want to win unfairly."

Adilheide took a deep breath and tasted the two desserts.

"Hmm! How should I put it? This cloud dish tastes just like it did when I was a kid, and I feel much better after eating it. I really like it. As for this iced glutinous rice ball dish, I like it too! I can't tell which one is better!" Adilhead was torn between the two.

"Hey! Yamabuki, how about we call it a draw today? There's no point in arguing any further."

"Alright, let's call it a day and settle things peacefully when I come back next time." Yamabuki Hanajin shook hands with the shopkeeper.

Then, Yamabuki Hanajin turned to look at Adilhead.

"Alright, my lovely princess, there are more important things for you to do now, which is to get well. Although I can prescribe some medicine for you, the doctors at the hospital are more reliable." Yamabuki Hanajin simply hoisted the little princess onto her shoulder.

"..."

Are you sure you're taking this girl to the hospital?

"Put me down, cough cough, don't get so close to me, what if I infect you?"

"I already said it's fine. By the way, manager, what are we having for dinner tonight? How about we have a French meal?" Yamabuki Hanajin asked.

"Okay, no problem. Go early and come back early. I'll leave the door open for you."

And so, Adilheid's illness was cured by modern medicine.

Chapter 854 (Main Text 857) The Azure Sea, a Grand Serialized Novel

A new day, the azure sea.

Kitahara Iori was in a good mood. Not long ago, he was admitted to university and was about to start a new life. At this moment, he was sitting in his uncle's car on his way to his uncle's diving center.

A new life awaits me. After entering university, I will not only make new friends, but more importantly, I can also meet lovely girls and experience a sweet and sour romance.

He might even develop relationships with the girls that go beyond friendship. Just thinking about it makes him feel wonderful. Kitahara Iori believes that a wonderful life is beckoning him.

"Are you a little nervous? It's okay, relax. Everyone at our diving center is very nice. I guarantee you'll get along well with them." The uncle was very enthusiastic.

When Kitahara Iori thinks of diving, she instinctively thinks of swimming. When she thinks of swimming, she thinks of swimsuits. And when she thinks of swimsuits, she inevitably thinks of cute girls wearing them.

I never expected God to be so kind to me; I was so excited I almost cried.

Kitahara Iori clenched his fists tightly as he followed his uncle to the diving center. As they passed the beach, a girl on the shore caught his attention.

It was a very cute girl with short hair, who was taking off her wetsuit. At this moment, the girl's wetsuit was only half off, revealing an orange swimsuit.

The two exchanged a glance, and Kitahara Iori shyly looked away. Could this be a customer at Uncle's shop? She's really cute. It seems I have a great chance of finding a cute girl as my girlfriend.

"Iori, hurry up and catch up." Her uncle's voice came from afar. Kitahara Iori immediately followed her uncle to the front of the shop. Looking at the entrance of the diving center in front of her, Kitahara Iori took a deep breath.

Here comes the wonderful life.

Suddenly, Kitahara Iori seemed to hear a faint voice.

"Young man, hell lies ahead."

Kitahara Iori turned around curiously, but of course he didn't see anyone. He thought it was just his imagination and pushed open the door with hope.

In an instant, the scorching flames burned Kitahara Iori's eyes. The lobby of the diving center was filled with a strong scent of male hormones. A large group of muscular men wearing only swim trunks were partying together. Of course, don't misunderstand, the party here refers to drinking.

The collision of muscles, the fusion of sweat, even the surrounding space seemed to subtly distort as a result.

Kitahara Iori silently closed the door. He suddenly understood why he had heard that sound earlier. It was a warning from the gods. Yes, what lay ahead was indeed hell.

Something's not right! Why are they all muscular men? Shouldn't the divers be cute girls in swimsuits? Where are my cute girls?

No, it must be my imagination. I'll open the door and start over. It'll definitely be fine, and the art style will definitely change.

When Kitahara Iori opened the door for the second time, the tense atmosphere intensified.

At that moment, the muscular men who were partying also saw Kitahara Iori and waved to him enthusiastically: "Young man, you must be my nephew, right? Come on over and have a drink with us!"

Kitahara Iori stiffly turned to look at his uncle, only to find that his uncle had taken off his clothes at some point and was even giving him a thumbs up.

"Iori, you have to get along well with everyone!" the uncle said, his gleaming teeth shining.

"Something's not right! Something's definitely not right here! I don't want to spend my university life with a bunch of muscular hunks! I want cute girls!" Kitahara Iori went completely mad.

Just then, a muscular man, whose underwear had disappeared, walked over carrying a cup of oolong tea.

"Young man, you look terrible! Are you thirsty? Here's a cup of Wolong tea for you, don't be shy. Want to join us? We're playing some baseball boxing," the muscular man asked.

Although the other person wasn't wearing any clothes, seeing the gentle smile on her senior's face, Kitahara Iori finally lowered her guard. Maybe this senior was a good person?

So, Kitahara Iori drank the oolong tea that was handed to her without even thinking.

"puff!!!"

"Why? The tea I drank was called Oolong tea, so why is my tongue not obeying me?" Kitahara Iori suddenly realized something, and trembling, she took out a lighter and gently lit the Oolong tea. To her surprise, the Oolong tea caught fire!

"Senior, could you explain to me briefly why the oolong tea caught fire?" Kitahara Iori stiffly turned to look at the muscular man.

"This is my homemade oolong tea, made with water of life and red wine that's exactly the same color as oolong tea. What do you think? Doesn't it look exactly like oolong tea?" The muscular man laughed heartily. "By the way, you're probably old enough to drink by now, right? How about we hang out?"

Kitahara Iori was unwilling in her heart. I am a proper college student. I will not play with you guys like this!
