People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Besides, don't you like going to school? There are plenty of good schools over there, and it's very peaceful. If you stay at the shop, all the people there are either geniuses or gods, and your grades will improve very quickly. Even if you want to come back later, you will definitely have no problem getting into a good school, provided that you want to come back."

Touka Kirishima opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "What you're saying is too idealistic. I wouldn't even dare to dream about this... Wait... another world? A restaurant?"

"what happened?"

"I think I've been there before?"

"what?"

Chapter 189 Hawkeye Understands, Touka Kirishima's Hope (Please Subscribe~)

Takatsuki Sen was dumbfounded. She was suspected of being mentally ill, and after explaining for so long, she was exhausted, only to be told at the end, "You seem to have been there?!" How absurd! You've been there and you suspect me?! You've been there and you're still here?!

Touka Kirishima nodded and said, "That's right... a restaurant with many beautiful women, and a young, handsome, and charismatic manager..."

"You actually went there?! Then why didn't you believe me before?! And if you went there, why are you still here now?"

Touka Kirishima breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So it really was time travel... I accidentally went there when I went to the toilet in the morning. That day I happened to smell the aroma of food. I don't know if it was my imagination, or if the dishes just looked so appetizing."

"Plus, I've always been curious about human food, so I wondered what it would taste like. I felt that the shop was something special. After I went to school, I also went to the convenience store. When the bread was freshly made, many people thought it smelled delicious, but I still didn't have an appetite, which made me even more certain."

"I'm absolutely certain those were human food, so when I got back I went to the bathroom again, but no matter how I tried to open the door, I couldn't. I even started to wonder if I was hallucinating because I hadn't woken up properly this morning..."

Takatsuki Sen blinked and said, "Did you open the shop thinking about what it would look like?"

"Definitely, but it's not open."

"Did it open during the summer vacation?"

"No, it's still a long time until summer vacation."

When did you open the door?

"I tried it as soon as I got home from school."

"Did you try it afterward?"

Touka Kirishima shook her head and said, "No, because it wasn't opened, so I didn't try. After all, I can't keep going back and forth in the bathroom like an idiot opening and closing the door."

Takatsuki Izumi said irritably, "It would be strange if it could be opened. That's a night restaurant, it only opens at night. You can open it in the morning because it's not closed yet. It would be even more reasonable if you couldn't open it during the summer vacation, because Manager Shiraha and the others went on vacation."

Hearing what Takatsuki Sen said, Kirishima Touka finally believed it, because she had been there, and considering what Takatsuki Sen had said before, if it was in another world, then she could still believe in gods, demons, and the like.

Hope blossomed in Kirishima Touka's almost dead heart in an instant. With some hesitation, she said, "So, our identities...?"

"I already said they're all very good people, so let's just let it go. Besides, if nothing unexpected happens, they should use magic to help you transform first, and then conduct research. After that, I'll try to contact Bai Zhen and then find a way to send the research reagents to people like you."

"By then, those ghouls who still refuse the reagent, needless to say, will be of what composition they are. Of course, whether you come back or not is up to you. Life there will definitely be better, but the reagent can't be developed in a short time, so you can think about it slowly."

"All right...."

As Kirishima Touka was about to pick up the glass on the table, her eyes twitched when she saw the empty glass. Takatsuki Sen looked at Kirishima Touka innocently and said, "It has nothing to do with me... How about another glass?"

"okay."

While the two of them were gaining each other's trust, the food prepared by Perona and the others on the other side had also arrived. Perona didn't care about anything else, since she didn't drink alcohol anyway, and just focused on eating, her eyes shining and her cheeks bulging.

Red-Haired Shanks wasn't too particular about manners, and they ate and chatted as they went. Hawkeye suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Shiraha, who was reading a book, and asked with some confusion, "What was the situation with your last move before?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Have you been using this sword all this time?"

Hawkeye paused for a moment and said, "Naturally, a swordsman trusts his sword the most."

Do you think you'll use this sword in the future?

"Hmm? Certainly."

"If one day your sword breaks or you become too old to lift the sword you've nurtured for decades, what sword will you, the world's most powerful swordsman, use?"

"Or what if you are restricted by someone, and some special ability prevents you from using weapons, or your weapons are stolen? Or what if you are like Shanks, and you lose an arm, or your arm is so badly injured in a fight that you can't lift it? What would you do then?"

These questions startled Hawkeye, as did Momousagi and the other swordsmen. No one could guarantee that such a situation would never happen. Perhaps some people wouldn't get weaker with age, but it would definitely affect their stamina. Hawkeye's Night Sword was a heavy sword.

Hawkeye paused for a moment, and Bai Yu said with a smile, "Although it's impossible in our ordinary world, it might be possible in your world."

"what?"

"Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a swordsman, the strongest swordsman in the world, the undisputed strongest. He created a unique sword technique, and with just his longsword, he could fight against any weapon in the world and defeat any powerful enemy. Even his name was Dugu Qiubai (Seeking Defeat). But later, this man never used a sword again."

"Hmm? Why would a swordsman discard his sword? And he's the strongest swordsman in the world."

"Later, someone found four swords in his sword tomb. Each sword had a line of words engraved on it. The first one was a sharp steel sword, fierce and powerful, indestructible. Before he came of age, he fought against the heroes of Hebei."

"The second Purple Rose Soft Sword, used before the age of thirty, was accidentally used to injure a righteous man, which was considered unlucky, so it was discarded in a deep valley."

"The third Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, a heavy sword without an edge, is a great skill without artifice. Before the age of forty, I relied on it to roam the world."

"The last one is a wooden sword. After the age of forty, one is no longer bound by material things. Grass, wood, bamboo and stone can all be used as swords. With a wooden sword in hand, one can defeat all the weapons in the world. Anything at hand can be a weapon."

Hawkeye clenched his fist, a glint of excitement in his eyes, and said, "A weapon out of nothing... such skill... truly worthy of being called the strongest in the world."

"However, this is not the final destination."

"Huh?! A wooden sword isn't enough?!"

"Later on, he completely broke free from the shackles of material things, achieving oneness with nature and with the sword. He completely abandoned the sword itself; he was the sword. Every flower petal and leaf, every flick of his wrist, was sword energy. He himself was the weapon, capable of both offense and defense, controlled at will, unaffected by external forces, and untouched by the erosion of time. Only time was his invincible opponent."

Hawkeye and the others were stunned. The realm of no sword was something they couldn't achieve at all, and they couldn't even reach the realm of wooden sword. After a long while, Hawkeye clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "It can be done in our realm!"

"Huh?!" xn

Chapter 190 The Men Being Pressured to Get Married, Kasumigaoka Utaha Arrives (Please Subscribe~)

Lucifer and the others were stunned for a moment. Hawkeye, who usually has a stoic expression, actually got excited? And with such a passionate look, anyone who didn't know better would think he was a person like Zoro.

Hawkeye said in a deep voice, "It is indeed possible, as long as you have the domineering aura and the breath of all things. However, there are still many areas where you can improve. The next step is to continue to refine yourself. I am still far from mastering the wooden sword, not to mention the swordless realm."

Perona said somewhat vaguely, "Can you achieve that before you're fifty?"

Hawkeye said in a deep voice, "At fifty years old, one should reach the level of a wooden swordsman to have any hope of keeping up with that senior. One can allow oneself to reach that level before the age of sixty."

"You're already planning to be sixty?!"

"Manager Baiyu is right. Only time should be able to defeat a swordsman, so we need to hurry."

Perona rolled her eyes and didn't say anything. They've all gone mad. These swordsmen are all abnormal, their minds are filled with nothing but swords. But anyway, she's full, so whoever is hungry is their problem.

Perona didn't choose to stay today. She planned to go back and see if there was any news about the Celestial Dragons. Besides, she hadn't prepared anything, so she decided to go back first.

Momousagi and Gion also packed a snack for afternoon tea and then left, seemingly out of consideration for the large number of guests expected the next day. It seemed that their guests for the day had come to an end, as there was only one guest late at night.

"Lei An? It's been a while since you've been here."

Indeed, Wu Lei'an arrived. Without saying a word, Wu Lei'an handed a document to Bai Yu and said, "That brat Lie Tang can't come, so I had to make the trip myself. The old man asked me to give this to you."

Bai Yu paused for a moment, then said, "Huh? This is..."

"I don't know, don't ask me. They're all coming over tonight. The old man said he wants to introduce you to the Fujiwara family and has other things to say."

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "Hmm? Are Garuda and Feng Shui coming too?"

"That scheming monster isn't coming; she's abroad. Garuda is coming today."

"That's fine, but I don't know when Feng Shui can rest, he's always so busy. He's either flying around or slacking off somewhere."

Wu Lei'an clicked his tongue and said, "Demon Eye is one of the most frequently hired people in the family. She is efficient, easy to talk to, and just like you said, she is extremely idle and does not need to practice martial arts. She basically takes on one job after another."

"Hmm? You seem much more composed now. I heard that after the decisive match, you were called by Grandpa Wu to practice the family's martial arts. Has your personality been tempered as well?"

"Tsk... Gone."

Wu Lei'an turned and left, leaving Lucifer and the others smirking. Wu Lei'an's personality had been shaped, and he was now being pressured to get married. When the old man and the others were bored, they would complain that he was either practicing martial arts or going out to take on assassination missions. They wondered when he would find a girlfriend.

After all, Wu Lei'an was one of the few monsters in the Wu family, with a 100% liberation level. According to the Wu family tradition, it would be a waste not to find a wife, start a family, and reproduce with such bloodline strength.

Wu Lei'an used to be crazy and too arrogant. Old Master Wu hoped he would behave himself and focus on practicing the family's martial arts. After he started practicing, his family started pressuring him to get married again. Especially now, these parents are discussing cooperation and Bai Yu's marriage every day, and they end up talking about other children.

"Hey, honey, do you think Lei'an is so well-behaved now because he's been beaten up by Grandpa Wu and the others?"

"Maybe so. But when I was drinking with Lietang and the others at the ice room bar before, Lietang said that because of us, they were all being pressured to get married in a very uniform way. I guess Lei'an is the same. After all, he is 100% sure that he wants to carry on the family tradition."

"Indeed... But what woman could like a guy like Lei An? Although his physique is reassuring and he's good-looking, his personality is just too awful, no..."

"That was too dangerous."

Eirin Yagokoro tilted her head and said, "If I remember correctly, when Saki was shopping during summer vacation, she mentioned a woman named Banehier when she was a late-night chef. She seemed to be a very nasty person who liked to abuse ingredients, and her arms could even become as muscular as a strong man's..."

"It seems like that happened, but I don't know if she was arrested or not. Her personality seems quite fitting. It's quite suitable for a woman to train like that... I wonder where the Midnight Chef has gone."

"Honey, what is this document? Lietang sent one before, and now he's sent another one."

Bai Yu didn't try to hide anything. After opening it in front of everyone and glancing at it, he suddenly realized and said, "It's some news about the Kengan Association recently, as well as some new cooperative projects between them and others."

Why send over the collaborative project?

"Because they're from the same family, and some of them even collaborate with Ziyin and the others, they can make their own decisions. But the old man still sent one as a token of his sincerity."

"I see. It seems they've really discussed a lot of collaborations. Asuna's family company has seen a lot more collaborations. So, are these contracts or just the details?"

"It's just the content, some annotations, and some information. The information that Liedang sent before was also about the Kengan Association."

Pandemonica pushed up her glasses and said, "Hmm? Kengan Association? Didn't Grandpa Wu step down? Isn't Nogi Hideki the current chairman? Why are we still investigating?"

"Things aren't that simple. The Kengan Association isn't the only way to have a showdown. There are other ways, and there seem to be some subtle clashes going on. So we still need to keep an eye on it. I heard that Nogi-sensei is having a real headache right now."

"Pfft... He doesn't have the connections and skills of old man Katahara, so there's nothing he can do about his headache; he can only bear it on his own."

Bai Yu just smiled and shook his head without saying anything. He put the documents aside and suddenly remembered something. He said with some doubt, "Oh right, I almost forgot something. It seems that the Nakano Five Sisters are coming over today, so... um? Heh... I didn't expect anyone to come so late. And it's you."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and said, "I suddenly woke up and couldn't fall back asleep, so I came over and had breakfast. Congratulations on your engagement, Shiraha-sensei."

"Thank you."

Chapter 191 Saeko Busujima is being discussed, and Shiyu has a headache (Please subscribe~)

As soon as Kasumigaoka Utaha entered the store, she found a seat, rummaged through her bag, and handed a book to Shiro. Shiro paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Looks like I'll have to call Kasumigaoka Utaha-sensei from now on."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and shook her head, saying, "Just call me by my name. I don't want to hear that address in the shop. After all, I almost couldn't even finish writing a book before."

"You won't. You're just stuck in a vicious cycle and don't know what to do. You're not the type to give up on something easily, otherwise you'd despise yourself."

"As expected of you, Shop Manager Shiraha..."

Lucifer leaned closer for a look and said with some surprise, "Your book has materialized?"

"Yes, the contract was finalized before summer vacation. This is the first book, and it will be available in bookstores at the end of the month."

"So this is the first edition? It's quite a memorable edition. Given your previous endorsement, it's sure to sell well."

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter what. I wrote the book just because it was a whim. I won't give up because that's my personality. I'm unwilling to give up like this and I can't accept my failure, especially such a crushing one. Now that my book has been materialized, the outcome doesn't matter anymore."

"That's a good attitude. You've proven yourself, that's enough. So, are you still planning to continue writing books?"

"It's part of my personality that I don't give up on things easily, so I'll keep writing. I think I've found some tricks, and this time it shouldn't start the same way as before."

Yuko Ichihara clicked her tongue and said, "If you start like before, what's the point of this book? So keep going, have more faith in yourself, you'll be fine."

Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Yuuko-nee, but... I still don't know what kind of story to write, so I came to the shop to look for inspiration. I also wanted to ask Yuno, since she invited me to that... Friends Club, there haven't been any club activities yet."

"Were you just saying you wanted to live a life of idleness and waiting to die?"

"Uh...no..."

Despite saying that, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't dare to look Lucifer and the others in the eye. Lucifer and the others also twitched their eyes. When Gasai Yuno introduced her club earlier, she also had a hint of pride in her voice, especially when she mentioned that the two Gundam members could just coast along.

"By the way, you're also one of the participants from Shuchiin University, right?"

"Yes, I don't think they're necessarily a match for them. After all, Yuno and the others are too over-the-top. The monsters from the Private Hyakkaou, the Yoru no Mori president, I guess only Sumeragi is easier to deal with."

"If Xiao Qiong heard what you said, she would probably cry. Her chances of winning were already slim, and she was forced to participate. She really wants to graduate as soon as possible so she can focus on slacking off."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed and said, "But it's true. However, Lucy-nee, don't you guys rest so late? I've seen you before, but it seems like it's always you guys minding the shop."

"Don't worry, we'll be fine. By the way, it's Saturday today, what are your plans?"

"I don't have any plans yet. I'm thinking of finding a quiet place to think about the content of my new book."
