People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Do you know something?"

Kizaru simply shook his head and didn't say anything. The Navy and the world are about to undergo a major change. At that time, many people will probably leave the Navy. Today's young people are not just passionate; they also have their own opinions and dare to act.

Everyone knew that Kizaru wouldn't say, so they didn't ask any further. After all, he was an admiral, and there were some things he couldn't say. Just as everyone was about to change the subject, they suddenly saw the door light up.

"Huh? People come at this hour? They're probably here for breakfast..."

Lucifer said with a strange expression, "Guests from another world arriving at this time of year always remind me of that kid..."

Lucifer had barely finished speaking when an incredulous voice cried out, "What... what's with this light?!"

"Hehe... I told you it was true."

"That voice...it really is you...we were just talking about you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a boy in a school uniform walked in. He was clean and tidy, with nothing particularly special about him, but his eyes and brows revealed a gentle temperament. A fat cat was perched on the boy's shoulder. It was Natsume Takashi, but the cat looked terrified.

Takashi Natsume was taken aback when he saw so many people and said with a smile, "It's been a long time, Ms. Yuko and everyone else."

Yuuko Ichihara said with a smile, "You're basically the only guest from this other world at this time. It's been a long time since you've been here. You look pretty good. I thought you'd been eaten by a monster."

Takashi Natsume walked over, found a seat, and chuckled, saying, "It shouldn't be that unlucky... Hmm? Ms. Murasaki, what's wrong?"

Yukari Yakumo and the others narrowed their eyes. After a long while, Yuuka Kazami said softly, "I didn't expect you to have a powerful demon by your side..."

Chapter 72 Natsume Takashi's Answer, Shiraha's Intuition (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, everyone's eyes were drawn to the cat perched on Natsume's shoulder. There was only this one creature beside Natsume, which meant that the great demon was referring to this fat cat.

The cat on Natsume's shoulder shuddered, then cried out in terror, "What's going on?! How can there be so many beings with such strong demonic power?! And some that don't have demonic power but still have a terrifying aura?!"

Natsume smiled and said, "Nyanko-sensei, this is the otherworldly restaurant I told you about. Yuuko and many of the others are the owners."

"Stop!"

"Eh?"

Yukari Yakumo said with a smile, "It's been a long time since you last came, so it's normal that you don't know. All of you in front of you are the proprietresses, and look, they all have diamond rings."

Natsume paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Congratulations, Miss Murasaki! I wish you happiness and a fulfilling life together."

"You can talk! But how come you have a powerful demon following you? Although it's not particularly strong, it's still at the level of a powerful demon. What have you been doing all this time?"

Natsume breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let me explain to Nyanko-sensei first, otherwise he won't relax. Nyanko-sensei, the thing is (hundreds of words omitted here), it's like this. You don't need to be nervous. Yuuko-san and the other girls, as well as Manager Shiraha, are all very capable and kind people."

Hearing this, Nyanko-sensei said irritably, "Suddenly talking about demons, gods, and great monsters, I'm amazed you can stay so calm... But tell me, what's this place all about?"

"Huh? There's no particular reason. I just thought I should come to the shop since school starts and introduce it to you. After all, according to the agreement, you'll get the Book of Friends sooner or later, so I thought you could come to the shop then. The shop is really nice, the food is delicious, and Mr. Clow Reed said the sake is very good too."

"That's about it... You can run over if there's any danger. The shop is lively, and you'll have a great time, but you'll have to pay to eat."

Nyanko-sensei paused for a moment, gave Natsume a deep look, and after a long while, he sighed and sat down on the table with a human-like expression, saying, "Still looks so silly, well... but it's really hard to believe."

Yukari Yakumo tilted her head and said, "What Book of Friends? What have you been doing all this time?"

Natsume didn't hold back, calmly recounting how he discovered the Book of Friends, his experiences with Nyanko-sensei, and his continuous efforts.

Natsume spoke succinctly, but everyone could sense how much danger he had endured. Yet, he remained as gentle as ever. Kazami Yuuka said softly, "Hmm? So, you and Natsume made a promise that he would give you the Book of Friends before he died? And you would be his bodyguard?"

"Yes."

"Nyanko-sensei has protected me many times, I'm very grateful to Nyanko-sensei."

"It's just a contract."

Remilia narrowed her eyes and said, "I have a feeling that this tone reminds me of someone..."

Everyone glanced silently at Lucifer, who was still nodding unconsciously. Lucifer paused for two seconds and said, "Huh? Why are you all looking at me?"

"Oh right! They all have that arrogant tone."

"Oh!" xn

"I'm not being arrogant!" x2

Lucifer turned to look at Nyanko-sensei. Both of them were a little embarrassed, but they didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer. Pandemonica said softly, "So, would you like something to eat? My husband is just preparing breakfast."

"Ah... I've already eaten. I mainly came to say hello to Nyanko-sensei. I'll just pack a bottle of wine to go."

"Huh? Natsume, you can drink?"

"It's not for me, it's for Nyanko-sensei."

"Alright, but you can drink alcohol?"

Nyanko-sensei casually said, "This is just a facade; the true form is quite different. But speaking of which, what do you all think of this Book of Friends...?"

Justice casually said, "Not interested. It's of no use to us. I was going to remind you to keep your promise, but it seems unnecessary now."

The cat teacher's eye twitched. Goodness, what kind of emotion should she show to fit the current situation? Should she be annoyed at being called tsundere? Or hurt by the feeling that something she really wanted was being rejected? Or perhaps relieved?

"Manager Shirayu, it's been a long time! I've been thinking..."

"I heard you. This is what you wanted, and it's also the bottle of wine that Kuroride really likes."

"Thank you, Manager Baiyu. How much is it?"

"Four hundred."

"Eh? But..."

"Without a menu, the prices are naturally uncertain. Since it's been a long time, let's treat it as a special price for old friends."

Natsume paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, Manager Shiraha. Nyanko-sensei, this is Manager Shiraha."

"You are strong."

"Looks like you've found some great friends. Get along well, and hopefully that guy will be here next time you come."

"Yes, please give my regards if Mr. Kuroide comes."

"must."

Natsume didn't linger. After handing the drink to Nyanko-sensei, who had nestled back onto his shoulder, he paid and turned to leave, leaving behind only the words, "This place is nice. You can come back and visit sometime."

Yuko Ichihara asked with some confusion, "Hmm? Honey, do you have a feeling that the guy with glasses is coming back?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "No, I don't have any special feeling. I just feel that Natsume and Clow Reed came together before and left together, so Natsume's sudden arrival means that Clow Reed shouldn't be far behind."

Yuuko Ichihara and the others nodded. These two were truly a pity. Suddenly, Bai Yu thought of something, turned to Tina, and said with a smile, "Miss Tina, do you prefer seafood or meat?"

"Hmm... that's a very profound question. Tina definitely likes to eat them all, but if she had to choose... Tina would still... still choose meat!"

"Okay, your breakfast will be ready soon."

"it is good!"

Chapter 73 Kizaru's Dream, Momousagi Sensing Something's Wrong (Please Subscribe~)

Tina and Momousagi were also somewhat surprised when they saw the dishes on the table. Kizaru asked in a strange tone, "Manager Shiraha, this is... noodles?"

"No, this is rice noodles, not noodles. Since I didn't know your preferences, I prepared regular bone broth rice noodles. There are condiments on the side. If you like spicy food, add some chili peppers. If you want a numbing flavor, add some Sichuan peppercorns. There's also vinegar, but it seems that Miss Gion doesn't need chili peppers."

Momousagi sighed and said, "Indeed, it's not necessary. I don't want to eat anything too spicy in the morning, and besides, this is..."

"Oh, osmanthus sausage, beef balls, crab sticks, and some other meatballs, as well as beef. There aren't many vegetables, just bok choy and bean sprouts. Mr. Kizaru, your order includes two servings of rice noodles."

"Oh my, this really looks appetizing! Well then, I'll try the broth first... Hmm?! It's really delicious, but it's still a bit bland... Hmm... This is the chili pepper, I guess... Hmm! This is good!"

Seeing Kizaru start eating right away, Tina and Momousagi also picked up their chopsticks and started eating as well. One bite, and the unique smooth and chewy texture of the rice noodles and the rich aroma of the bone broth were both delightful.

"Mmm! It smells so good... The texture is also very unique, the taste is really great. Tina, add less chili, aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache from eating so spicy food in the morning?"

"It's alright! Although the bone broth is delicious, Tina still thinks it's a bit bland."

"Sigh... This bone broth would definitely make your stomach feel better after drinking it. You added chili peppers, so it won't taste the same. I'm really impressed by you."

"It's alright! Hmm? This is..."

Before Tina could finish speaking, Bai Yu brought over a basket of pan-fried buns, while Kizaru had two fried spring rolls. Bai Yu smiled and said, "I was going to make breakfast anyway, so I prepared a little extra. Lucy, go wake up Klara and the others to get ready. Today is the first day of school, so everyone must be busy."

"Alright! Beelzebub! Come on, I'll introduce you to some people while I'm at it."

"Okay, but speaking of which, if you're not going back to Hell, then aren't you unemployed now?"

“What are you thinking? We have many businesses. There’s a WGO right now. If you have nothing better to do, go help out. The WGO just moved here. It might not even be fully built by the time we get married. If you have nothing better to do, go help out too.”

"Eh? This is so troublesome..."

"You have to find something to do. Staying at home won't work. At the very least, you have to study or something. Don't even think about being a complete couch potato."

"Fine...."

Bai Yu returned to the kitchen to continue preparing breakfast, while Kaguya Houraisan and the others chatted idly. As for Reimu and the others, they didn't plan to watch the Autumn Election, and they also had things to take care of. Gensokyo had been exceptionally lively these past few days, so Reimu and Marisa said goodbye in advance and went back.

"Gion-neechan, Tina has a feeling that a lot of her future salary will be spent on the shop—breakfast, dinner, late-night snacks, takeout lunches or desserts, um..."

“I think so too. From now on, I won’t have to go to a restaurant or cook for myself for dinner. I can just come to the store. Breakfast is also taken care of at the same time. It’s so delicious. Nochiko, thank you for bringing me here.”

"It's alright, we're friends after all! But Miss Tina, you've said something wrong."

"Ah? What did you say?"

"The food at Baiyu's restaurant is very cheap, so you won't spend a lot of your salary there; you might only need a little bit."

Tina paused for a moment and said, "Huh? Is that so? But this kind of dish, and the portion is so big, and the ingredients all taste so good, you can tell they're high-quality ingredients just by tasting them. It can't be cheap, can it?"

"Sigh... In that case, you'll find out when you pay the bill later... By the way, anything that can be used as currency can be used as payment for the meal, so our world's Beli can be used too."

"Huh? Is that so? That's really convenient... But didn't you say you were going to bring Garp some dessert?"

Kizaru wiped his mouth, scratched his head, and said with a smile, "Ah... I can't forget about this. I was originally planning to buy it directly, but since the time is synchronized, I can just buy one the night before I go back."

"How long are you going to be gone this time? Are you really here to catch pirates?"

Kizaru paused for a moment and said softly, "It is indeed to catch pirates... but we won't catch many. The sea is in great chaos right now. I just came out to relax."

"Tina can see that you just want to slack off!"

"This isn't about slacking off; it's about adjusting your mindset. This ocean won't be calm for much longer... Many people will choose their own paths again. This era is truly terrifying."

"Tina senses there's something more to your words, but if you're so aware of this, why haven't you taken any action?"

"Because I am a general."

"Huh? What are you trying to say?"

Momousagi frowned, put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and said softly, "You seem to have a strange stance?"

"No, no, no, I have a grand dream!"

"Huh?" xn

The judge said with a strange look, "You still have dreams? And grand dreams at that? To clock out on time? To have weekends off? To get a raise?"

"Well... while these are indeed my dreams, my true dream is world peace!"

"Pfft..."xn

Momousagi chuckled, and Yukari Yakumo said with a smile, "What an incredible dream, but it sounds so strange coming from you."

Kizaru simply sighed and stood up without saying a word, saying, "I've finished eating, so I'll head back now. Colonel Tina, I'll leave my meal expenses to you."

Kizaru stood up as if it were none of his business and leisurely left. Tina gritted her teeth and snorted, saying, "Hmph! Tina won't forget this! I'm speechless! Gion-nee, what's wrong with you?"

"Tina... don't you think he's reminding us of something?"

"Eh?"

Chapter 74 Tina's Decision: A True Best Friend (Please Subscribe~)

The upstairs area was quite lively at this moment. Those who knew who Beelzebub was almost stopped in their hearts when they opened their eyes and saw him.

Lucifer sent a copy of the memory to everyone who knew about it. After calming down, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were still very nervous, Lucifer was speechless when he saw Beelzebub acting like a super friendly person and quickly becoming familiar with him. This guy was a social terrorist just like Justice.

However, Lucifer also knew that Beelzebub genuinely liked this family and had no hostility whatsoever. Moreover, she was intentionally trying to be friendly, and she could tell that Beelzebub was genuinely interested in Bai Yu, an interest tinged with affection. This was why she breathed a sigh of relief.
