People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Rimuru hesitated for a moment before letting out a sigh of relief and saying, "Because I was lucky... But where am I? There are electric lights! There are chairs! And clothes like these! Have I traveled back in time again?!"

Potts thought for a moment and said, "In a sense, you have indeed traveled back to the human world..."

"Great! Wait... but why am I still a slime?! No!!!"

Potts realized his mistake and quickly said, "Um, Mr. Rimuru, what I meant was... uh... how should I put it...?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "This is a restaurant in another world, so in a sense, you've only temporarily arrived at a restaurant that connects to your world."

Rimuru breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Phew~ That was close. So, I've become someone who's traveled to the same world twice?! Hmm... it feels strange, but it also seems pretty amazing..."

Bai Yu looked at Rimuru and said with a smile, "Well then, Mr. Rimuru, would you like to rest for a while, or perhaps have something to eat?"

Rimuru thought for a moment and said, "Although I have no sense of taste... I've been eating weird things for a long time, so... Boss! Pork cutlet rice bowl! Extra salad!"

Bai Yu nodded at Rimuru, who suddenly became excited and started jumping around, and said, "Okay, then please wait a moment. Slimes don't need to drink water, right?"

"Although it's not necessary, I should drink some water after crying..."

"A glass of warm water?"

"No... iced cola!"

When Kasugano Sora heard about the iced cola, she seemed to see a kindred spirit. She really was a slime that had traveled through time, just like a normal human!

After watching Bai Yu walk into the kitchen, Rimuru looked around and then jumped onto a table. Tony's eyes lit up as he asked, "Mr. Rimuru, what were those strange things you mentioned earlier? Are they specialties from another world?"

Rimuru nodded and said, "Yeah, all those weird flowers and plants, those stones and jewels, and some monsters... just thinking about it makes me want to vomit..."

Kasugano Sora found Rimuru, who was deep in thought, rather endearing. Lucifer asked in confusion, "Wait a minute, how did you, a slime, defeat a monster? Are slimes in your world that powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Rimuru hesitated for a moment before sighing and saying, "Actually, it's just a transmigrator's cheat ability~ They can eat anything, and after eating it, they gain the skills of the food, so it's quite powerful!"

Lucifer nodded, while Kasugano Sora asked curiously, "Skills, what kinds of skills do they have?"

After thinking for a moment, Rimuru said, "There's no skill that can be used... it'll be destroyed..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Bai Yu laughed and said, "There's no need to worry about that. My place won't be damaged."

"Huh?! That's amazing! It's kind of like a fixed respawn point in a game... In that case... Wind Blade!"

Seeing the several sharp-looking wind blades that appeared, Tony Stark exclaimed in amazement. What followed were all sorts of fire and water. It's worth mentioning that Rimuru even used his transformation ability, turning into a giant spider, which almost made Kasugano Sora scream in fright.

That's why Rimuru is apologizing so frantically right now, but Kasugano Sora quickly recovered and said with some doubt, "So, are all the monsters in your world this scary...?"

Rimuru nodded, while Tony asked curiously, "Mr. Rimuru, are there any differences between the minerals in that world and those in our own world?"

Rimuru thought for a moment and said, "Yes, the strength is much higher, and some of the minerals even contain magical energy~"

Tony nodded. He now had a bold idea: if such minerals were used to improve the Mark armor, the effect would be far better than the current one, just by thinking about it.

Rimuru looked around and sighed with relief, saying, "I'm really looking forward to it... pork cutlet rice bowl~ But... I have no sense of taste... but I'm still looking forward to it!"

"Pork chop rice~ Pork chop rice!"

Everyone found it quite amusing to watch Rimuru hopping around on the table, muttering about pork cutlet rice. However, it must be said that this guy was really unlucky, but at least he was rather cute.

Kasugano Sora had already finished her cola and was eating a cookie on the side. For some reason, she didn't find the chocolate cookie particularly delicious, but Lucifer seemed to really like it, which made Kasugano Sora a little confused.

To be honest, pork cutlet rice is one of the easiest dishes to make. In fact, the only thing that requires a bit of effort is the pork cutlet itself, so this dish is quick to prepare.

When Rimuru saw Shiraha carrying a steaming bowl of pork cutlet rice, his whole... the entire slime got excited and jumped up and down on the table.

"Well then, please enjoy your meal. But I'm quite curious about how you eat~"

Rimuru looked at the food in front of him and thought for a moment before saying, "There doesn't seem to be any particularly effective way to eat, but this pork cutlet rice bowl looks delicious, so..."

"so?"

Tony Stark and the others looked at Rimuru with anticipation. They were also curious about how slimes eat. Rimuru simply jumped and swallowed the entire bowl whole.

While everyone was stunned, Rimuru suddenly spat out the bowl he had swallowed, and then the entire slime began to tremble. Kasugano Sora tentatively asked, "Is this... food poisoning?"

Lucifer said irritably, "Little Qiong~ How could that be~ This is a slime! It doesn't even have a belly! Where did it go to get an upset stomach!"

Tony Stark leaned closer, puzzled, and asked, "What happened? What's going on... Hey! Dude! Why are you crying?!"

"You cried?!"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, and Rimuru immediately cried out, "I didn't taste anything! There's no flavor at all! This is too difficult!"

Potts couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't help it; the slime crying was actually kind of cute, especially crying because it couldn't taste anything—it was just too funny!

Bai Yu looked at Rimuru with some hesitation and said, "How about I get you some more water..."

"Ice Coke!"

"Um... iced cola again?"

Rimuru cried out, "This is about dignity! Even if we can't taste it or experience the thrill of iced cola, we still have to drink it! This is our bottom line and our dignity!"

Kasugano Sora clapped her hands in a daze. It had really struck a chord with her. For some reason, she felt a sense of kinship with the slime that was already quite cute.

Tony Stark chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Hey! Man, I think people your age probably prefer drinking something better, like an ice-cold beer."

Rimuru bluntly stated, "Drinking alone is definitely boring~ It's better to drink with friends. If I'm drinking alone, I'll definitely go for ice-cold cola! Besides, eating pork cutlet with ice-cold beer feels weird..."

Tony nodded. He hadn't realized this slime had any ambitions in life. But this slime was really something else; many of the skills it had just used were beyond his comprehension.

Rimuru glanced at the iced cola in front of him, then let out a series of pathetic whimpers, before finally swallowing the entire cup of cola in the same way he ate a pork cutlet rice bowl.

"It still has no taste! And it doesn't even have that stimulating feeling! This is so difficult!"

Potts was also amused by Rimuru; the guy was just too cute. Lucifer casually sipped his drink and said, "You can mimic, right?"

Rimuru jumped up and down twice and said, "Yeah, wait... what are you trying to say?"

Lucifer chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous. You just swallowed something with a taste similar to a human's, and that's it."

Rimuru thought for a moment and then said, "That makes sense... If possible, it should be... a wolf-type?! I've decided! I'm going back to devour a wolf!"

After a moment's hesitation, Tony Stark said with a hint of helplessness, "Well, man, I regret to inform you that canines have a very poor sense of taste, relying mainly on their sense of smell. Furthermore, there are many things they can't eat. The crucial point is that some canines will eat some disgusting things due to a lack of certain nutrients..."

Rimuru was taken aback, then saw Lucifer and the others looking at him with disgust. Rimuru quickly shouted, "I won't eat it! I won't transform into a canine! I absolutely won't!"

Tony Stark said doubtfully, "Your world must have those legendary beastmen or something, right? Why don't you transform into one of those creatures?"

Rimuru sighed and said, "How should I know... I was just about to leave the dungeon when I came here. But there probably are some, though I don't think I'll eat them..."

"why?"

Rimuru said with some conviction, "Because although my body is that of a slime, I still have human thoughts and ideas. I simply cannot bring myself to harm humans or humanoids, and the thought of eating people... is unbearable..."

Tony Stark nodded. Yes, cannibalism is indeed a terrifying idea, and the thought of it is disgusting. Lucifer asked doubtfully, "What if some kind of human bullies you if you don't want to hurt anyone?"

"I'll definitely retaliate, but I still can't swallow it..."

Lucifer nodded. This was a normal thought, but Lucifer believed that one day Rimuru would meet someone who could make him break this idea, so he didn't use magic to enhance Rimuru's sense of taste.

Rimuru sighed and said, "Manager! You're a good person!"

"Eh?"

"Because that pork chop rice looks delicious!"

Bai Yu laughed and said, "Your evaluation criteria are really impressive, but I hope you can develop your sense of taste soon~"

"Yes! I definitely want to come back for the pork cutlet rice again!"

"You're really persistent!"

"Of course! But... how should I do it?"

"Just find any door and think about this area to get here~"

Rimuru nodded, then suddenly said somewhat awkwardly, "Oh no! Shopkeeper! I don't think I have any money!"

Tony Stark was about to say, "I'll treat you to dinner, but please let me go to your world to find some minerals or something," when he heard Bai Yu laugh and say, "Metals, minerals, otherworldly specialties and rare ingredients—anything that can be traded can be used as currency!"

After thinking for a moment, Rimuru spat out a purple stone and said, "Is this okay? This thing called magic ore..."

"Of course~"

"Great! I feel like I can eat you out of house and home next time I come!"

"While it's unlikely, you're welcome to visit anytime!"

Tony's eyes lit up as he looked at the magical ore in front of him. Wow, what he wished for had come true! This ore looked incredibly powerful...

Chapter 262 I'll Fight You to the Death, the Heavenly Feather Slash Made of Wine (Please Subscribe~)

Tony Stark looked at the purple, crystal-like ore in front of him and tentatively asked, "Hey buddy, can I have a look at this thing called magic ore?"

Without even thinking, Rimuru replied, "Of course, no problem. There are plenty of these ores in the dungeon!"

Tony Stark looked at the crystal in his hand with some surprise and said, "Unbelievable! This thing is even lighter than I imagined, and the texture... Pepper, I think we should go back."

Potts naturally knew what Tony Stark wanted to do—he simply wanted to go back and study the ore. Potts nodded and asked Bai Yu, "Mr. Bai Yu, how much is it in total?"

After glancing at it, Bai Yu said gently, "The total is three thousand six hundred yen."

"Hey! This is so cheap! This...this is less than fifty dollars!"

Bai Yu waved his hand casually and said, "Besides, you two don't have to pay for your meal~"

"Eh?! Why?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Because Mr. Tony's watch from last time can cover your meal expenses for a long time to come, you basically won't have to spend any money if you come to dine here."

Tony paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's hard not to be happy about this news. Thank you. But I'm wondering, if we're talking about the prices of the food here, how long would it take me to finish the cost of that watch?"

"If you happen to order a dish made with ingredients from another world, you might run out of food in just two meals~"

Tony was also tempted. Even ordinary ingredients were delicious. If they were from another world, he might even gain some magical power. However, the price sounded really expensive. Although Tony was not short of money, he couldn't eat like this every day.

Tony thought for a moment but didn't say anything. He thanked Rimuru with the magic ore in his hand and turned to leave. However, just as Potts finished saying goodbye and walked in the door, he placed a banknote on the table.

Lucifer chuckled and said, "This couple looks pretty good."

Bai Yu smiled and nodded. It was obvious that Tony and Potts had left money for the meal. This time it wasn't anything expensive, just a hundred dollars, but they still left money even though they knew it was free.

Bai Yu didn't refuse the bill in a pretentious way, nor did he show any dissatisfaction or irrationality. Bai Yu had fulfilled his responsibility by offering to waive the bill, but Tony and Potts still left money for the meal. Bai Yu believed that if Potts had ten dollars on him, Tony would have made her pay for ten dollars.

Often, even when the other party is very generous in a friendship, you should still remember not to take their generosity for granted. Bai Yu could have charged normally, but he chose to give them a long period of free service, so Tony chose to pay normally. Both sides did what they should do. Friendship is never maintained by interests, not even a dollar.

Even though Tony only left one stab wound today, a display of emotional intelligence, Bai Yu didn't immediately clear the table. He looked at Rimuru and said, "It seems your world has some rare ingredients. Next time, if possible, you could use those ingredients as payment for the meal."

"Ingredients? What kind of ingredients are considered precious?"

"Anything that doesn't exist in the human world and has a unique and delicious flavor is considered a rare ingredient here."

Rimuru nodded. Thinking about it that way, it really does seem like there are many options, but if you're going to eat cuisine, it's better to find some expensive ingredients.

"Okay! I understand! Then I'll head back now, store manager!"

Watching Rimuru skip away, Shiraha chuckled and said, "I have to say, the closer we get to leveling up, the stranger the guests become. I wonder if some skeleton or something that can't eat anything will show up~"

Kasugano Sora said with some fear, "No way... that would be too scary!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "It's just a guess, no one can say for sure. But Xiao Qiong, aren't you sleepy yet?"

Kasugano Sora shook her head and said, "I'm not sleepy. I feel very energetic, and for some reason, I always feel like I have inexhaustible energy."

Lucifer waved his hand and said, "You've just suddenly regained your health, and you're much healthier than before, which is why you feel this way."

Kasugano Sora nodded and then asked in confusion, "So, I should go rest now, right?"

Bai Yu glanced at the time on the computer and said, "You should lie down for a while and take a shower, after all, you have to report for duty tomorrow... um... today."

"Okay, but what time is that Zhu Mei who's coming to pick me up?"

"Based on Shion's schedule, Akemi should have arrived around 6 AM~ It's already 2 AM~"

"Oh? So early? I'll go rest now..."

Watching Kasugano Sora leave, Shiraha stretched and said, "I really did solve a troublesome matter~ Lucifer, where are you going today?"

"Huh? I don't know~ Let's see what Kraki does~ She seems like someone who's good at traveling around, following her should be more promising than following Cerberus~"
