People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Griffia thought for a moment and said, "The way she acted just now, it was like she suddenly remembered something, but it shouldn't be about Izumi Sagiri from before."

"Huh? That's really outrageous... But I rarely see my seventh husband make that kind of expression."

"Um..."

Meanwhile, in another room, Izumi Sagiri was hugging her pillow and silently looking at her phone. After a while, a door opened, and a girl walked in, sat cross-legged in front of Izumi Sagiri, placed a cup of hot milk on her, and said, "Sagiri, drink your milk and go to sleep early."

"Hmm... I'll leave it to you when Brother Baiyu brings breakfast tomorrow morning."

"Eh? Hmm... But I'm really curious. You've been talking about Brother Baiyu all this time. He sounds like a really nice man."

"Brother Baiyu is so good... no... the best..."

"Is that so? Then we really should get to know each other. Hurry up and drink, I'll take the cup away when you're done."

"Oh...."

Watching Izumi Sagiri drink her milk, the girl before her seemed lost in thought. She had known Izumi Sagiri for quite some time and knew about her situation, but someone who could elicit such a comment from Izumi Sagiri... must be quite interesting.

"Finished."

"Oh, then you should go to sleep early. Are you going to meet him tomorrow?"

"Hmm...I don't know."

Chapter 683 Sagiri's Invitation, Sagiri's Agent (Please Subscribe~)

No more guests came in the latter half of the night. Bai Yu just drank tea and read books. Although Lucifer and the others were very curious, they didn't ask.

After a long while, a muffled clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and soon a heavy rain began to fall in the night. Bai Yu looked up at the window and said softly, "It looks like the temperature will drop in the next few days. Maybe it will snow earlier this year."

"It's snowing...it feels like something worth remembering."

Yukari Yakumo paused for a moment and said, "Huh? Lucy, haven't you ever seen snow before?"

"How could that be? But I never had any expectations or paid any special attention before. Now it's different. However, I suddenly remembered something."

"what?"

Lucifer, sipping his juice through a straw, mumbled, "Ah... before you and your husband were together, didn't you get tricked by him? Back then, you said you were going to hibernate in winter? Really?... Are you a bear?"

Gurefia was taken aback for a moment and said, "Huh? This is the first time I've heard of this. Zi, are you really going to hibernate? Doesn't that mean you won't be able to attend New Year's and Christmas?"

Yukari Yakumo coughed lightly and said, "Hibernation is necessary, but it's just our habit and a way to conserve energy. We can also choose not to sleep. As you've seen, we're nocturnal, but during summer vacation, it's the other way around, isn't it?"

"But didn't you make a point of catching up on sleep during summer vacation?"

"It might be a little tiring... but it's not a big deal. Besides, it's almost Christmas in winter, and the store seems to have been upgraded. We can move in around Christmas, sleep during the day, and just call us if you need anything. Seriously, I've rested at the store before, and I felt refreshed after a nap."

Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "You know, that's true. But speaking of which, Zi, is it alright for you to come here?"

"But there's still blue, isn't there?"

Yakumo Ran's eyes twitched, but she didn't dare to say anything. Ichihara Yuuko clicked her tongue and said, "You're really outrageous. Having Ran as a shikigami is truly a blessing from a past life."

Yakumo Ran nodded secretly, while Yakumo Yukari glanced at Yakumo Ran. Yakumo Ran immediately adopted a dignified expression, but her ears twitched.

When it was almost time, Bai Yu went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Izumi Sagiri. Lucifer and the others continued chatting. Before they knew it, the rain stopped. Ichihara Yuuko walked to the window and opened it. A breath of fresh air blew in, and everyone felt refreshed.

Kazami Yuuka sighed, put down her teacup, and said softly, "The air after the rain is exceptionally fresh, especially with the scent of earth and plants..."

Sakuya Izayoi nodded and said, "But I do feel that the temperature has dropped in the morning. I feel that this winter might be very cold."

"Indeed, I wonder what it's like for Shusuke and the others at the training camp, especially for Yuta and the others. They live in a cave; it must be cold and damp..."

"These kids can't be judged by common sense at all... Hey? It's dawn. The sunrise after the rain makes the sky seem bluer than usual."

"Hmm... indeed, the colors of nature are the most sophisticated... Hey? Honey, are you done?"

"It's not a very complicated dish to begin with. But since we've made rice noodles, let's have rice noodles for breakfast. Lucy, if I'm not back by then, you guys can just cook it yourselves and add the ingredients. There's bone broth and regular clear broth in the kitchen."

Lucifer nodded and said, "Okay, but honey, are you going to take care of something later?"

"It was just a side thing..."

"Oh..."

After Bai Yu left, Lucifer propped his chin on his hand and said, "Hey, hey, hey, what do you think my husband went to take care of? It's way too early."

"I don't know, you'll have to ask my husband. But then again, I have a feeling."

"Huh? You have another premonition?"

Yuko Ichihara nodded and said, "That's right, I have a feeling that something will definitely happen on the day the hotel is fully booked."

Lucifer paused for a moment and said, "Why do you feel that way? But your idea is quite unique."

"I don't know either, so it's more of a premonition than a deduction."

Yukari Yakumo and the others nodded thoughtfully without saying anything. Considering the previous meeting and the fact that the hotel was almost full, they were also vaguely curious about what would happen if it were fully booked.

Meanwhile, Shiraha was walking leisurely towards Izumi Sagiri's house. He suddenly became very curious about whether the person in Izumi Sagiri's house was human or not.

This time, Shiraha was different from usual. Normally, when Shiraha delivered takeout, he would leave it at the door, send a message to Izumi Sagiri, and then leave.

However, Shiraha didn't do that today, because the second message Izumi Sagiri sent after ordering the food was: "Brother Shiraha, come and have a cup of tea when it arrives."

This sentence made Bai Yu pause for a moment. Had Izumi Sagiri emerged from the shadows on her own? It was possible, but if that were the case, she could have easily come to the shop. Including the two breakfasts she had previously ordered, it was clear that she trusted the person at her house, and that person would have expressed her gratitude on her behalf.

To be honest, this was Bai Yu's first time visiting Izumi Sagiri's house, so he was very curious about what kind of person could enter her home and gain Izumi Sagiri's trust. Yesterday, before going to the kitchen, a word suddenly came to his mind.

When they arrived at Izumi Sagiri's house, Shiraha breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the doorbell. It was quiet on the other side of the door. Before Shiraha could speak, he heard footsteps, and the door opened the next moment.

(Zhao De Zhao) Bai Yu was slightly taken aback. It was someone he had never seen before, a girl whose figure would probably surprise even Tsunade. She was wearing a black fitted vest, denim shorts, and slippers. She had long golden hair with green and blue mixed ends, and most importantly, she had a pair of horns.

Well...maybe the vest wasn't a fitted style to begin with," the girl said, squinting at Shiraha before smiling and saying, "Ah...you must be the Shiraha shop manager Sagiri was talking about..."

"Yes, this is your breakfast snack."

"Please come in if you don't mind. Sagiri asked me to make you some tea this morning..."

"Sorry to bother you..."

P.S.: Everyone knows who this is, right...? So, where's the other one...?

Chapter 684 Lucoa of the Sagiri Family, Lucoa's Decision (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Shiraha was sitting in the living room of Izumi Sagiri's house. He didn't look around or ask where Izumi Sagiri was. The room was very quiet except for the sound of boiling water.

Not long after, the girl from before came over with a tea tray and placed it on the coffee table. The girl tilted her head and said, "I'll take Sagiri's breakfast up first... Please help yourself."

The girl opened the insulated food container and was stunned for a moment. It smelled so good! Just as Izumi Sagiri said, Shiraha's cooking could make her feel better just by smelling it. It was the best food in the world.

At first, she was a little skeptical, but now she really believed it. The girl took out Izumi Sagiri's breakfast, carried it upstairs, knocked on the door, and said, "Sagiri, I've put it at your door. Heat it up and eat it."

There was no talking in the room, only the sound of footsteps on the floor. The girl breathed a sigh of relief before turning around and going downstairs. She saw that Bai Yu was indeed quietly drinking tea. The girl walked over and sat on the sofa next to Bai Yu, saying softly, "Manager Bai Yu's dishes really smell delicious."

"Thank you for the compliment. However, just like you said to Sagiri, dishes have a lifespan, especially noodles and pan-fried buns. The taste and texture will be different after a while."

"Huh? But... it feels like that would be really rude."

"No, after all, I'm the manager of the restaurant, and watching customers eat is also a kind of professional experience."

The girl paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Manager Shiraha is really different from others. Just like Sagiri said, he's a warm and considerate older brother."

dong dong dong dong!

"Oh my... it seems Sagiri is shy... but in that case, I won't be polite and will enjoy it."

"Please go ahead. By the way, be careful when eating the pan-fried buns, the soup might splatter out."

"Wow! That sounds amazing! Wow! It looks fantastic, Manager Shiraha is amazing... Hmm? Hmm?! It's delicious! This rice noodle soup is so satisfying! It's hot and the texture is great! The soup is also very good..."

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "Really? Well, thank you very much. There's some vinegar and chili oil in that little box over there. It's Chinese vinegar, of course. You can take a bowl, scoop out the rice noodles and side dishes, add some broth, and then add vinegar or chili oil to see which one you prefer."

"Oh... wait? There's only one serving of vinegar?"

“Because Sagiri is a regular customer, I know her eating habits very well.”

"Well... Hmm? They're all pretty good! Oh! These pan-fried buns are delicious too! Ah! I almost forgot... My apologies for being rude earlier. I'm Lucoa, nice to meet you."

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "Hmm? Lucoa?"

Lucoa quickly said, "Um... I'm a foreigner..."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and looked at the horns on Lucoa's head. Lucoa coughed lightly and was about to say something when she heard Bai Yu say with a smile, "As expected, Miss Lucoa, you are a dragon, aren't you?"

"Huh?! You...how come...wait...you have the aura of a dragon on you! Could it be that you are one too?!"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "I am human, but one of the dragons is a regular customer of my shop, and another one has signed a contract with me and lives in the shop."

Lucoa's eyes widened immediately, her unusual heterochromatic eyes sparkling. She exclaimed in surprise, "Eh?! A dragon came to your shop and signed a contract with you? Who is it?"

"Erma, do you know Tohru, who comes to the shop often?"

"Huh?! Elma?! Which Elma?!"

"It has a blue tail and a horn on its head..."

"It really is that girl! But, the fact that Elma signed a contract with you... no wonder you have the aura of a dragon. How is she doing?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "She's doing very well. She's helping out at a friend's shop and also working as a physical education teacher at a university. She's living a very fulfilling life."

"Huh? A PE teacher? Hmm...that sounds like a vivid image. Yes, I am indeed a dragon, but how were you so sure just now?"

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "It's simple. Your name is quite unusual, which reminds me of Elma. Elma and Tohru have mentioned before that dragons may have arrived in the human world a long time ago."

"In addition, Sagiri's heart is very fragile and soft. She will protect herself under her sharp shell. There are people in her house. She never goes out and has no other relatives. The people in her room must be people she trusts."

"However, to gain her trust, you first need to be able to get close to her, or like me, she has a very keen sense of perception. To be able to appear next to her, you must have a special way to appear directly in the room, or even directly in front of her."

"So, who is this person with a unique name who can appear directly in front of Sagiri, gain her trust, and has a pair of horns on their head? It's probably a dragon, but if I've never seen a dragon, I might not think that way."

As Lucoa ate her rice noodles, she nodded thoughtfully. She sighed, wiped her mouth, and said, "Yes, I did appear in front of Sagiri suddenly. Because I appeared according to my inner expectations, Sagiri was able to accept me so quickly."

"Huh? The expectation in my heart?"

"Yeah, I was strolling around that evening when I suddenly looked up and saw Sagiri standing on the balcony, looking like she was making a wish, but she seemed very sad and devout, so I watched her for a while, and then..."

"Then?"

"Then I wasn't going to think much of it and was about to leave, but somehow I heard a very soft voice say... God or devil, whatever it is... help me... I'll pay any price, I have nothing left to lose..."

Lucoa sighed and said, "It was that sentence that resonated with me in some strange way, so I just appeared in front of her and startled her. I didn't hide the fact that I'm a dragon, and that's how we started living together. We've been living together for two months now."

“I’ve been with her for the past two months. She’s a very nice and lovely girl. She’s talked to me a lot, and I’ve learned why she doesn’t go out. So I decided to stay and take care of her. She often mentions you, and I’ve been very curious about you, but I’ve never been to the store.”

“I was thinking that since I planned to stay in the human world for a long time and decided to take care of Sagiri, it would be good to stay. In that case, ordering takeout is fine, but I also need to let her get used to my cooking, so I have been cooking for her during this period.”

“But yesterday, we found that we didn’t have enough food in the refrigerator, so Sagiri suggested that we order takeout. I didn’t object, but then Sagiri said that she has always been taken care of by you, but she is scared, so she hopes that when you come, I can take care of you for her.”

Shiraha paused for a moment, then said, "It seems... Sagiri is also trying her best to endure the pain and grow stronger..."

Lucoa paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Hmm... She doesn't need any abilities or magic, and she's struggling to change... No wonder she's a human that Sagiri relies on and that Elma signed a contract with... Looks like I should go and check her out."

"You're welcome anytime..."

Chapter 685 A Surprised Erma, Lucoa's Interest (Please Subscribe~)

When Shiraha left, Lucoa saw him to the door and said that she would go to the store that night. As Lucoa closed the door and turned around, she saw Izumi Sagiri standing in the living room looking at the doorway.

“Sagiri, it seems you were right when you said that.”

"what?"

"Meeting him might truly be the luckiest thing that you'll never regret in your life."

Izumi Sagiri pursed her lips, walked to the sofa, sat down, and took a sip of tea. After a long while, she said softly, "It's not just luck, it's also an unforgettable happy memory... In the end, I still don't have the courage to see Shiraha-nii..."

"Maybe next time will be different, Sagiri. That day will come, and he will look forward to your growth."
