People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Of course, and you can see the change in Erina. She used to be so arrogant, but now she's completely different. No... she's still arrogant, but only in certain situations, towards strangers and outsiders."

"Yes, I understand. However..."

"Ok?"

"I've been meaning to say this for a while now, and I don't know if I'm mistaken, but I've seen you many times before, but you've never worn makeup like this before. It feels like you spent a long time putting on your makeup, and... um, you're wearing perfume. It feels very formal."

Hojo Miyoko blushed and coughed lightly, saying, "Of course! When you go out, you have to dress up, especially since we're coming to Manager Shiraha's shop. It wouldn't be good to be too casual."

Mito Ikumi blinked, then gave a meaningful smile and said, "You wouldn't..."

Miyoko Hojo quickly retorted, "What do you mean you can't! Don't make wild guesses!"

"I didn't say anything!"

Hojo Miyoko turned her head away awkwardly, while Mito Ikumi, as if she had stumbled upon some gossip, said with amusement, "It's nothing, after all, it's normal to have feelings for a man like Shiraha."

"Um...yes...yes, isn't it normal to have feelings for someone? There's nothing else."

Mito Ikumi said with a smile, "As expected, it's because of Manager Shiraha!"

"Um?!"

Hojo Miyoko immediately broke down, her face turning red instantly. Just as she was about to explain, Mito Ikumi smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? It's normal to have someone you like. Besides, it's hard for anyone to dislike Manager Shiraha. He's not disliked, but respected and outstanding. It's easy to like him."

Miyoko Hojo sighed and forced herself to calm down before saying, "You talk like you know everything. Didn't you say you have no dating experience?"

"I don't understand it, but I've seen a lot. I like cooking, but cooking is only a small part of my life. So, do you like Manager Shiraha?"

Miyoko Hojo turned her head away and said, "What did you say...?"

"Stop pretending! You can't even act properly! Your ears are all red! There are no outsiders here, what can't you say?"

"Yes... a little..."

"Pfft... I never expected that you, who are so decisive and assertive at school, would have such an innocent side..."

"Didn't you say it's normal? There's nothing wrong with my preferences, and I'm not an extremist. Shopkeeper Bai Yu is a really nice person, and he's different from those men. What girl doesn't have those moments? Don't you?!"

Mito Ikumi's eye twitched slightly as she said, "There are people I admire, but not the kind of unrequited love you're experiencing..."

"Why are you saying you have a crush on someone again?!"

"What's the difference? With your personality, you definitely wouldn't be interested in other men, so what's the difference?"

"This...I..."

"Miyoko."

"What are you going to say now?!"

Mito Ikumi smiled and said, "Don't get excited. I just wanted to say that I want to go with you when you go to pick up the cheongsam. I've never worn a cheongsam before. Will it fit me?"

"Give it a try, I think it's a good fit."

"OK! Ah, we're here, get in the car!"

Chapter 122 In the world of Aiba Asagi, Remilia is dumbfounded (Please subscribe~)

Shiraha and the others were unaware of the girlish feelings of Mito Ikumi and Hojo Miyoko. The atmosphere was somewhat quiet because Reimu and the others hadn't arrived yet, but Ayumi Asagi was about to leave.

"Asagi, send a message when you get back. But why are you leaving at this time?"

"Hmm? Because if I go back now, I definitely won't be called in for a talk, otherwise the chairman would definitely take me in for a talk."

Lucifer, with his legs crossed, said, "So, Asagi, what's going on in your world?"

Aiba Asagi sighed, pulled Remilia over, and rubbed her face. Remilia then exclaimed with displeasure, "Asagi! You're getting cocky, aren't you!"

"I'd be happy if all vampires were like you."

"Vampires?!"

Remilia, forgetting her own complaints, looked at Aiba Asagi with some surprise. Aiba Asagi nodded and said, "That's right... our world... it can't be explained in a few words. Simply put, there are demons, various exorcism mechanisms, and three Night Emperors, who are also the true progenitors of vampires..."

"Huh?!" xn

Remilia exclaimed in disbelief, "True Ancestors of Vampires?! Three?! What's going on? Asagi, have you had contact with them?"

"No, not at all. I already said, I'm just an ordinary high school student. I occasionally help the government translate or crack some documents. What kind of interaction could I possibly have? I'm not familiar with those exorcism mechanisms or anything like that, and I have no connection with demons. But our headmaster seems to be quite capable."

"This dean..."

"Oh, don't worry, Chairperson Nangong is very nice and takes good care of me. Although she looks like a petite girl, she is surprisingly imposing."

Lucifer sighed and waved his hand when he saw Beelzebub sticking to Shirayu and laughing, saying, "Lucifer, I've already given Asagi a blessing that can withstand attacks from demon lords like us. What did you give her? You didn't give her a duplicate, did you?"

"I sensed it, so I gave you immunity to curses and immunity to mental spying. This way, Asagi, your physical and magical resistance are raised to a very high level, and you don't have to worry about anyone probing your memories or hypnotizing and bewitching you."

Yuuko Ichihara tilted her head and waved her hand. Asagi Aiba asked blankly, "Yuuko-neechan, what did you do now?"

"It's nothing. The rules of the house mean we won't easily grant you any protection, like attack buffs. Now that you have physical, magical, and mental buffs, I just enhanced your sense of danger. Your sixth sense of danger has simply improved."

"This is outrageous! They don't need to be so heavily protected..."

"This is called being prepared. When you have time later, summarize the events in your world in detail and post it in the group. It's best to post it before Christmas. If it's Christmas, you can just give a verbal summary."

Justice nodded and said, "That's right, what are you dissatisfied with if we protect them well? There were fights between lunatics, exorcists and demons fighting, gas explosions, flowerpots falling from the rooftop, and..."

Asagi quickly said, "I didn't say I was dissatisfied! Justice-neechan! Stop it! Can't you wish me well for once?"

"I'm just giving you an example. Alright, alright, I won't keep you any longer. Just come by whenever you have free time. You can just come as soon as the store opens. If you have to, you can just rest in the store."

"Okay, I understand, honey. I'll be going now. I'll come see you when I have time."

Bai Yu nodded and didn't linger. After Lan Yu and Qian Cong left, Lucifer said with a hint of helplessness, "As expected, our family members, as long as they're from another world, have absolutely no connection to the ordinary world. Honey, do you know what's going on in Qian Cong's world?"

"I do know a little, but the blessing you provide is absolutely safe, so there's no need to worry too much. Besides, Asagi is connected to the world, so you can come over anytime if there are any problems."

"That's true, but what's the situation like in their world?"

"What I know is similar to what she said. Since I haven't been there either, I don't know the specifics. She just mentioned some specific people, nothing more."

"Did the chairperson say that?"

"I did say that, but Asagi is just an ordinary person, so she doesn't know much about her. She only said that she is their chairman, who looks petite and cute, but is surprisingly serious, not at all like a chairman."

Lucifer sighed and said, "This is really a headache. The term 'Vampire Ancestor' doesn't refer to any weakling. In any world, the Vampire Ancestor is never an unknown figure. There are also the Night Emperors. There are only three of them, so they must be powerful. There are also demons and such. This girl has never mentioned them."

"I guess it's because she herself feels that many things are none of her business, so she says there's no need to say them."

"Yeah...sigh...there really aren't any of them who are easy to deal with!"

Lucifer might just grab Medis's cheek and pinch her cheek. Medis looks bewildered and then looks at Bai Yu with a somewhat aggrieved expression. She was just quietly reading a book, what's wrong with her?

Beelzebub clicked his tongue and said, "Lucy, you're really starting to look more and more like... Ne."

"I know what you're going to say! Just give me an easy time!"

"Tch!" xn

"Well...."

Lucifer could only glare angrily at her sisters; leading a team was no easy task! She desperately needed reliable teammates! Momousagi and Nojiko chuckled to themselves; Lucifer was truly pitiful. Most importantly, what Lucifer said was true—there really were many people who were good at and enjoyed causing trouble.

Baphomet said with a smile, "Honey, my construction team will be arriving one after another this month and next month. Would you like to take some time to go and check on them?"

"Hmm? You can go take a look when you have time. But, is Yuuko's design ready yet?"

"Almost there. The overall outline is basically complete. We can start building other facilities first, and plan the site. We can start construction on the main house before graduation season next year."

"Hmm... I'll make time to go check it out then. Hmm? It seems Miss Tina has finally arrived."

Chapter 123 Tina is very angry, Tina feels very wronged (Please subscribe~)

Just as Bai Yu finished speaking, the door lit up, and the next moment a pair of long, slender legs strode in. Tina entered with a displeased look on her face and said, "You bastard, don't you want to think about what you've done?!"

Momousagi asked curiously, "Tina, what's wrong?"

"Gion-nee! Tina is going to be furious!"

"Ok?"

Tina stormed over to the table next to Momousagi and said seriously, "Tina originally wanted to come straight here, but this guy not only forgot the meeting time, but he didn't even catch a single pirate!"

"Hmm? Didn't you run into her?"

"How is that possible! Tina caught so many! And this guy's explanation is..."

"I am a general, after all. I don't need to take action against petty thieves. I haven't encountered any particularly powerful ones either. Colonel Tina has already captured all the ordinary ones. I am quite helpless."

Hearing that irritating voice, Tina stood up abruptly, slammed her hand on the table, and yelled, "Tina didn't believe you! You're just here on vacation! You made Tina catch all the pirates! You just strolled around with your crew! Tina feels like such an idiot!"

"And what's more! Tina only found out later that the highest bounty in that area was only around 60 million! Where was Tina supposed to conjure up a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million for you, 767, to take action against? You were just slacking off and even tricked Tina!"

Watching Tina slam her fist on the table indignantly, everyone's eyes twitched, but they also felt it was quite amusing. It felt like a senior employee was tricking new employees into working overtime with full energy, fighting on their posts, while they themselves took the others out to eat, drink, and have fun, only to find out later that it was a group project.

Momousagi glared at Kizaru before pulling Tina aside and saying, "Don't be angry, that's just how he is, he always has been, he's just too naive."

"Tina is so angry! She thought he had encountered some formidable pirate! But look what happened! Humph!"

Nami clicked her tongue and said, "No wonder..."

"What's so strange?"

"No wonder we were able to escape despite having so many marines, an admiral, a Shichibukai, and many other officers. Admiral Kizaru, you're a good man!"

"Pfft..."xn

Tina and Momousagi stared at Kizaru with wide eyes. "So you really are just slacking off, collecting your paycheck, and clocking out!" Momousagi snorted and said, "Tina, don't be angry with him. Haven't you eaten yet?"

"no!"

"Hurry up and eat something, tomorrow..."

Tina said earnestly, "That's all I'm saying, but I'm going to be with Gion-nee and you guys tomorrow. I've figured out that staying here won't get me any pirates, and I'll just get annoyed. So I'd better stay with you guys!"

Momousagi wanted to say something more, but Nami waved her hand and said, "Gion-nee and Tina-nee have already said so, so just do as they say."

"Well... alright, but how are you going to explain your sudden disappearance to your subordinates?"

"This is the only thing Tina needs to thank him for!"

"Ok?"

Tina turned to look at Kizaru, who was still ordering from Shiraha, and said, "Hey! Tina is going to chase pirates in another place tomorrow, so you go and explain to Tina."

Kizaru shrugged and didn't say anything. Tina then snorted and turned to Momousagi, saying, "Gion-nee, you've been here all day. What are your thoughts? Did anything interesting happen?"

Momousagi sighed and said, "If our world were the same as this world, or even half the same, maybe many people could quit their jobs..."

"Huh?! Is it that much different?!"

"Yes, it's not just a little bit worse, it's much worse. And this world is very interesting. I've been exploring it all day. All I can say is that if you were born in a world like this, you might not even be able to produce a swordsman."

"why?"

"There are no opponents, no crises to challenge you, and it's too comfortable. It's so comfortable that you can't help but want to relax. Besides... you swordsmen either open a kendo dojo or go to work. There's no such thing as randomly occupying a piece of land."

Tina scratched her head and said, "That sounds kind of interesting... Let's put it in perspective... If Hawkeye didn't teach, he'd have to go work or something... Pfft..."

"That's right, otherwise where would the money come from? It's not like you can just get land to farm here. You also have to solve the problems of housing and water and electricity, and then there's food and some daily necessities."

Tina nodded and said, "Then there's really no other way. By the way, Gion-nee, are you going to look for someone first tomorrow, or are you going to deal with those scumbags first?"

"Well... considering that the two of you will be coming along, there's a chance news might get out. So let's find someone first. Besides, with Robin around, many things will probably be easier to handle!"

Both of them nodded. Nojiko was about to say something when Nami said, "Nojiko, you just stay home and wait for the results before we go back."

"Sigh... Alright, you two be careful, especially Gion. Make sure you don't leave anything that people will criticize."

Tina snorted and said, "Tina is upholding justice. Who can say anything? They can only say that he's one of them! None of them are good people."

"Tina, that's true, but the internal situation is unstable right now, and they're recruiting worldwide, so we'd better be careful."

"Tsk... Tina's suddenly so annoyed! Why is upholding justice so troublesome!"

Momousagi sighed and pulled Tina close to her ear, whispering what Bai Yu had said to her that day. After listening, Tina fell silent. She wanted to say something in rebuttal, but she couldn't utter a single word. At that moment, she felt a little wronged and a little depressed.

"So, as a reward for a hard day's work, what would you like to eat, Miss Tina?"
