People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

It was still early, and Kasugano Sora and the others were still fast asleep. Of course, Robin and the others were awake, but some were doing yoga, some were taking a shower, some were tidying up their rooms while listening to music, and others had been playing games or reading comics all morning.

Walking down the quiet corridor, Kirishima Touka suddenly felt a strange tension. She should have calmed down, but the thought of living here, of Lucifer and the others telling her to treat this place as home, that they were all family, family—such a reassuring word—made Kirishima Touka feel somewhat restrained.

"Hahaha! Pander, it's so funny when you tie your hair up without your glasses!"

"Tsk... By the way, I'm planning to buy a new pair of glasses."

"But aren't you a demon? Demons can be nearsighted?"

"So I bought monocles with gold-rimmed glasses, which I feel suit my style quite well."

"That's true, but those kinds of glasses don't go well with clothes."

"So I'm planning to look into it soon, hmm? Touka, you woke up so early?"

Upon hearing Pandemonica's words, Lucifer and the others turned around and saw Kirishima Touka standing blankly at the bottom of the stairs. Pandemonica took off her hood and tidied her hair, saying, "Touka, now that you're awake, don't stand there."

"Yeah, yeah, don't just stand there like an idiot, come over here quickly."

Kirishima Touka pursed her lips but still went over. Kazami Yuuka put down her tea, tilted her head, and said, "You only slept for such a short time, are you well rested?"

"I'm well rested. Although I didn't sleep for long, I feel like I rested exceptionally well."

"That's good. After breakfast today, let Xiaoqiong and the others accompany you to buy daily necessities, a few more clothes, shoes and such. Let's also buy a schoolbag while we're at it. Although you haven't decided which school to go to yet, you'll need it in the next few days. Don't worry about your identity. Your identity will be perfectly legitimate."

Yukari Yakumo, fanning herself with a smile, said, "Let Sora and the others show you the way. You definitely can't go to all the places today, as Sora and the others will be going to school tomorrow. You can go with them to see the Autumn Election first, and gradually get to know your family members and familiarize yourself with the area."

"If it's on the way, I'll get a gym membership too. All my sisters go, but Mengmeng and Zhengyi go every day, while we only go when we remember."

Before Kirishima Touka could even speak, Ichihara Yuuko pulled her aside. Yuuko chuckled and a soft measuring tape appeared in her hand. Kirishima Touka hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mrs. Yuuko, what is this...?"

Before Kirishima Touka could finish speaking, Ichihara Yuuko pinched her cheek and said irritably, "I'd be happy if outsiders called me 'Madam,' but you, one of our own, call me 'Madam'? Just call me 'older sister,' no need to be so formal. We're all family, and we ordered cheongsams and kimonos a while ago."

"As a Japanese person, you must also like kimonos. Everyone has a cheongsam, so you must have one too. Let me take your measurements and order two sets for you. Raise your arm."

Touka Kirishima could sense Yuko Ichihara's subtle fragrance and innate elegance and nobility, but at this moment she felt a sense of warmth more than anything else.

"Don't just stand there, raise your arm."

"Oh...."

"Thank you, Mrs. Yuko... Yuko-nee..."

Before Kirishima Touka could finish speaking, she saw Ichihara Yuuko narrow her eyes and immediately corrected herself. Ichihara Yuuko then smiled and said, "That's a good girl. You'll get used to it. Shoulder width... indeed, you're a bit thin, but your bust size is within the normal range."

"Hmm, the waist is quite slim, but within the normal range. It's not bad that she's underweight due to malnutrition. Hey... the hip measurements are quite impressive..."

"Yuko-nee! I..."

"What's there to be afraid of when we're all women? Of course, we'll measure your bust, waist, and hips when we take your measurements. What's there to be shy about? Having a good figure is a good thing. Alright, Lucy, show the fabric pattern to Touka. Once you've chosen one, send it to the two store managers."

"OK!"

Chapter 227 Momousagi's Secret Letter, Yukiko's Childishness (Please Subscribe~)

Although Touka Kirishima was a little shy because of what Yuuko Ichihara said, it also made her less reserved. At this moment, Touka Kirishima was pulled aside by Lucifer to pick out her favorite fabrics, but she could only choose two, which made Touka Kirishima feel a little indecisive for once.

Just as Yuuko Ichihara and the others were helping Touka Kirishima choose fabrics, Robin and the others arrived downstairs one after another. Upon seeing this scene, they greeted Touka Kirishima and then went about their own business.

"Hmm, I always feel that whenever I see Gentian, Haimeng, and Cerberus eating so enthusiastically, it already makes my food look delicious. Now that there's Touka too, it all looks so appetizing..."

Kirishima Touka paused for a moment, her hands holding the bowl and chopsticks stiffening. Having just become a normal human and able to eat human food, she truly felt that being human was wonderful, with so many delicious dishes. She was now filled with curiosity about all kinds of cuisine.

I reckon even if you put blue cheese or something like that in front of Kirishima Touka, she'd probably hold her nose and try it. Right now, she's eager to taste all sorts of delicious food.

"Hai Meng, you don't need to teach Yi Hua and the others today. Your task today is to help Xiao Dong Xiang get familiar with the city, buy daily necessities, school bags, and so on. If you have enough time, you can also meet some people along the way."

"Okay!" xn

"Let's go straight to Ginza then! I want to eat sushi. In Tokyo, besides my husband, the best sushi restaurants are probably Hinako-san and Nichirin. Nichirin is in Ginza!"

"This is acceptable!"

Kirishima Touka was also somewhat tempted. As a Japanese person, she knew all too well about sushi, even if she had never eaten it. She had always been curious about how rice, vinegar, and seafood could have such a high status.

She now knows the freshness and texture of seafood, the soft and fragrant rice, and the sweet and sour flavor. Are these three things really that amazing when put together?

Moreover, Ginza... As a Tokyo resident, I know that the world of ghouls exists, but I've never had the time or opportunity to explore it properly. Aside from working, going to school, and studying, I spend most of my time thinking about survival.

"Um... Yukiko, what's wrong?"

"Hmph! Eri is so infuriating! She didn't even tell me what she bought! I'm going to the agency today to find out!"

"Um... As expected, Ms. Kisaki was browsing online stores. But Yukiko, Ms. Kisaki must have bought some rather personal items, otherwise there would be no need for her to hide them."

"That's why I'm curious!"

“Uh…”xn

Lucifer said with a hint of helplessness, "You two really have a love-hate relationship, honey. What are you going to do today?"

"Today? The old man and the others came over for dinner yesterday, so I should go see them today. However, considering that Sheath Fragrance is probably not here, there's no need for Grandpa Wu to make a special trip to visit her. Tomorrow is the Autumn Selection, so there's no need to go to Far Moon today. Therefore, I really don't have any plans for today."

"Great! Honey, why don't you come to WGO? You're free anyway, come keep us company!"

Albedo and the others nodded repeatedly, their faces full of anticipation. Bai Yu thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Alright, but there's something I'm still quite curious about."

"Hmm?"

"Are WGO employees working seven days a week?"

Nakiri Managi shook her head and said, "No, at least we can rest for two days. It's just that WGO hasn't been built yet, so we have to go every day. But sometimes on Saturdays or weekends, we just check and if there's nothing to do, then we're really free. But we're too lazy to go anywhere else, so we just stay at WGO."

Tsunade tilted her head and said, "It's rare for my husband to go to WGO too. If we don't have anything else to do, let's head back this afternoon and go shopping or check out the land."

"That's a good idea! Honey, you're free this afternoon, right?"

"No."

"Great! Let's go to Ginza this afternoon too! Haimeng! If you're still in Ginza this afternoon, just meet up there!"

"Okay!" xn

After breakfast, Kirishima Touka was about to offer to help tidy up when Kitagawa Kaimu and her group pulled her away. Lucifer and the others just smiled and shook their heads without saying anything.

Meanwhile, Impel Down remained unchanged, and at that moment, a warship also stopped near Impel Down.

"Hmm? It's been so quiet lately. Mr. Shiraha's shop is really well hidden away..."

Domino was resting in his office when he heard a knock on the door. After Domino gave permission, a jailer opened the door, and Domino said in a deep voice, "Which floor is in trouble?"

"Reporting to the Deputy Warden! A lieutenant from headquarters has brought you a letter, saying it's from Lieutenant General Momousagi and needs to be delivered to you personally, Deputy Warden or the Chief Warden!"

"Oh? Vice Admiral Momousagi? Where is he? Bring him here."

"Right here! Lieutenant, please come in!"

A female lieutenant walked in, took a letter out of her pocket, and said, "Deputy Warden, this is a letter that Lieutenant General Momousagi specifically asked me to deliver after learning that we were going to pass through this area. The letter has been delivered, so I'll be going now."

"Okay, thank you. Please see the Lieutenant out!"

"Yes!"

After the jailer and the lieutenant left, Domino quickly picked up the Den Den Mushi and said, "Little Sadie, come to my office!"

"Hmm? Now?"

Yes! Now!

Little Sadie paused for a moment, then snorted and said, "Fine, let's stop here for now."

With that, he pulled back his long whip and strode out of the interrogation room, leaving behind the prisoner who was almost unconscious from the beating. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief after seeing Little Sadie leave, a large hand grabbed his ankle and dragged him away.

"Domino, what's wrong? Why did you call me here in such a hurry? Has Mr. Bai Yu come again?!"

"Don't get excited. Mr. Baiyu came to Impel Down last time because of the evil dragon. Why would he come to Impel Down for no reason, especially at this time? It was Vice Admiral Momousagi who sent a letter to the two of us and instructed us to be engaged."

"Yes, no wonder you asked me to come over. It makes sense; this is definitely the safest approach for Mr. Bai Yu's situation."

"That's right. Let's take a look together. Headquarters has sent out quite a few people to search recently. Vice Admiral Momousagi is probably trying to find us under the guise of this search."

"Ok!"

Chapter 228 Kirishima Touka is stunned, Little Sadie's expectations (Please subscribe~)

At this moment, Little Sadie and Domino were both quite excited, because Momousagi's letter was very simple, explaining the reason, the time, and how to find them in just a few words.

"Because of Bai Yu's identity as the shopkeeper and the special way he goes to the shop, I'm informing you by writing this letter. Tina and I will arrive at Impel Down around dusk tomorrow. You two can come to the ship to find us then. You can come back anytime before dawn the next day."

"Besides, after I took you two to the restaurant this time, you can go there anytime in the future. But don't tell anyone. Only the two of you know how to get to Impel Down, and don't spread the word."

Little Sadie chuckled, one hand on her hip, and said, "Mr. Bai Yu is becoming more and more mysterious! Hmm, he really is a charming man. I'll ask for leave for dinner tomorrow."

"Alright, let Hannibal take your place. You don't mind, and with Jailer Beast, you don't need to worry too much."

"Hmm, I'm really looking forward to it. I need to have a good feast, otherwise it would be such a waste of this opportunity!"

"That's true..."

Little Sadie ran back in an exceptionally good mood, and Domino 583 was also in a great mood. She casually burned the letter, stretched, and leaned back in her chair, staring at the ceiling. She had only two things on her mind right now.

First, Momousagi said that you can go anytime and go at night and come back before the next morning. Where is this shop? The second thing is what dishes to order.

In the end, Domino's capable and serious personality turned all her expectations into motivation for work. On the other side, Bai Yu was also brought to WGO by Lucifer and others, who were noisy and laughing all the way. WGO was destined to be lively this morning.

Meanwhile, Touka Kirishima was also somewhat stunned. Good grief, she came to buy things, right? Seemingly buying daily necessities, clothes, shoes, and such, but... is she buying things or stocking up?! Don't you guys even look at the prices?!

"The trench coats from this store are very nice, both in terms of quality and style. This coffee-colored one looks beautiful on Touka."

"I think the khaki one from before was also nice."

"Then I'll take them all! Wrap them up!"

"This is fine too, swipe your card!"

"Touka-neechan has long, slender, and well-proportioned legs, which are perfect for wearing stockings. Don't just buy regular stockings, get some black stockings and the like too!"

By noon, when Kitagawa Kaimu and the others arrived at the Nichirin Restaurant, Kirishima Touka was already somewhat numb. Good heavens, this pile of large and small packages—and this was only part of it; many had already been sent over by the restaurant.

"Manager Guan! We booked a private room!"

"Oh, it's you guys. Didn't Manager Shirayu come along?"

"My husband was called away by Sister Lucy and the others. We're here to buy things, we'll order later. One oolong tea each for now!"

"Ok."

Once inside the private room, Kasugano Sora kicked her shoes aside, scurried to the back of the tatami mat, and sprawled out. Hinami Aoi said irritably, "Don't sprawl out like that. You're not that tired. You were quite energetic when we were shopping, weren't you?"

"These are two different things, Sister Dongxiang. If you're going to take the college entrance exam, what major and which university are you planning to apply to?"

Touka Kirishima paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know yet. I haven't decided which university to choose, but it seems there are some subtle differences between where we are and where we are."

"for example?"

"I just checked the required scores for universities here on my phone and found that some universities that are quite famous in our area can't be found here. On the contrary, there are some schools that are very prestigious here but not in our area."

"Oh? There must be Seigaku or something, otherwise why would there be so many ridiculous places to play tennis?"

"Um... that's true, but then I'm not sure which university to apply to."

Asuna tilted her head and said, "Anyway, as long as it's in Tokyo, there must be a Tokyo Metropolitan University, right?"

"That's for sure, it's the best university in the country..."

"Most of my sisters would consider this first. Touka, you should also try Tokyo Metropolitan University."

Touka Kirishima paused for a moment, her eye twitching slightly, and said, "No... well... no matter where I am, my grades are much worse..."

"Hey, don't worry. As Lucy and the others say, there are only one or two kids in the family whose studies need significant improvement and whose attitudes need to be corrected. The rest are all elites and top students. Just ask them if you don't understand anything. Plus, Yuno's time ability will help. Give it a try!"

Nanami Nami also said with a smile, "That's right, even though Sora is usually so lazy, she was forced to improve her grades. Touka, you've always liked school life and you're quite composed. As long as you work hard, you'll definitely be fine."

"That's right. Besides, if you work hard for the best school, the result will definitely be much better than if you work hard for a mediocre school."

"I'll give it a try, but I doubt that a university like that will admit a large number of students each year."

"That's right, so the girls like Akane can be directly admitted in this knowledge competition. Everyone in Tokyo knows they are geniuses. Even if a few geniuses are eliminated in a chaotic competition, some will still be admitted. Then they won't have to take the normal exams and continue to study in their senior year or next semester."

"Yes, so those who are exceptionally talented are no longer considered for the spots. Touka, you have a chance, just work hard."
