People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Ok?"

"I'm not playing anymore... but it really feels like I'm petting a cat..."

Kuro Reid looked at Bai Yu and Lucifer and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Bai Yu really is a good man~"

Bai Yu glanced at Kuro Reid before smiling and saying, "Isn't this what a man should do?"

Kuro Reid and the woman were both slightly taken aback, before Kuro Reid smiled and said, "Ah...right, it's a man's duty...right?"

The woman suddenly became quite poetic, saying softly, "In a sense, you are far inferior to Mr. Bai Yu in this regard..."

That's why I died all alone.

"Ah...."

Chapter 309 Passionate Young People Chasing Their Dreams, Zoro Returns (Please Subscribe~)

The woman eventually slowed down her eating, but then ordered two more jugs of wine. Bai Yu didn't seem to mind refusing, which puzzled Lucifer, because neither Kasumigaoka Utaha nor anyone else would usually be allowed to drink like this when they came here.

But Lucifer didn't care too much, because it didn't have much to do with him, and he just assumed it was because the woman had magic.

However, Lucifer was wondering if that was the case, then was the reason why Shion Souyuuin was forced to quit smoking also because of human reasons? If she had magic, would she not have so many restrictions?

As Lucifer was lost in thought, he heard the woman say softly, "So, the purpose of coming here today is..."

Kuro Reid waved his hand and said softly, "The night is still long, no need to rush. I want to see what other guests from other worlds will appear~ Maybe I'll even see Natsume-kun~"

The woman didn't say anything and just sat quietly to the side drinking. Anyway, she had much longer to live than him, and since he wasn't in a hurry, she couldn't say anything. Besides, she was also confused.

After all, not everyone can be like Kuro Reed, possessing formidable strength yet not desiring to live, filled with regrets yet still without remorse. Since he did it, he has no regrets. This is the final assessment of Kuro Reed's cunning nature.

Bai Yu naturally knew what Kuro Reid was here for. He had mentioned before that he might bring a resident, and it seemed that he was referring to this woman. To be honest, he wasn't quite sure what this woman and Kuro Reid were thinking.

It can only be said that the two people's ideas were slightly related, but from the moment they entered the store, they were already heading in completely opposite directions.

"Sigh~ Humans are really hard to fathom~"

After these words were spoken, everyone looked at Kuro and Reid. Since it was Bai Yu who made the remark, it was obvious who was responsible.

Kuro and Reid were both taken aback but didn't say anything. One continued drinking quietly, while the other picked up a notebook and continued writing. As for dessert, they both decided to have it later.

Bai Yu suddenly remembered something and said to Lucifer, "Where are you and Cerberus going today? Klaxie isn't going to the resort tomorrow, is she?"

Lucifer was taken aback; she hadn't really considered this question. Seeing Lucifer deep in thought, Cerberus raised his hand and exclaimed, "Master, master, master! Tomorrow... I was called to watch tennis by Sonoko today! And she told me to bring Lucifer and the others!"

Lucifer said with some confusion, "Tennis? I don't remember them having any tennis matches at Teitan... Could it be...?"

Cerberus nodded and said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah! It seems to be Atobe's school, if I remember correctly, it's called... Hyotei?"

Lucifer nodded and said, "It is indeed called Hyotei, but tomorrow is not a rest day. Does this mean that Teitan has become a free-for-all class?"

Cerberus scratched his head and said, "Sonoko told me a few hours ago... she said she had a feeling she might have a stomachache within the next ten hours, and then she took the day off..."

Even Bai Yu was stunned when he said that. Goodness, he was able to get leave for this prophecy. It seems that either Teitan is easy to talk to or Sonoko has been trained by Kirari.

Lucifer's eye twitched, and he said somewhat speechlessly, "I'm really fed up with these guys. They get more excited as the competition approaches. What did Sonoko say to you?"

"Sonoko said that arrogant brat Atobe is playing a match tomorrow. We'll get to see him make a fool of himself! I'm so excited just thinking about it!"

Lucifer sighed and said, "Those two really are like those legendary bickering siblings~ But it's probably not just because of that~"

"Hmm...it seems like there's a match tomorrow between Shusuke and the others, Seigaku and Fudomine. I think Sonoko went straight to Seigaku's match after watching Atobe's match~"

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then said softly, "Shusuke and Kunimitsu are going to compete too? But Fudomine is quite something. I hope those two kids can do well."

Lucifer asked in confusion, "Hmm? Is this Fudomine very powerful?"

"I've heard about the incident where the captain and coach of Fudomine were both transfer students, and it even caused a violent incident. Apparently, a group of hot-blooded teenagers didn't want the tennis club to be ruined by a scumbag coach and a scumbag school team, so they rebelled. And then..."

Kuro Reid said with a smile, "The reason we didn't have a coach after that was probably because we were left without one. What a group of passionate young men who carried the stain of their past for their dreams! Not bad at all!"

The woman said irritably, "You're almost in your grave and you're still lamenting about other young people... Hey? You've never seemed this passionate before~"

"I.."

"But judging from your perpetually mischievous grin, I know you're not going to get fired up~"

"Um... I think what I'm actually doing is smiling~"

Do you think I wouldn't know whether your smile has healing power or not?

Kuro Reid said nothing, simply lowering his head to continue writing. The woman glanced at Kuro Reid and said meaningfully, "But you've probably never seen that smile of yours before, have you?"

Kuro Reid paused for a moment, then continued writing. Bai Yu glanced at Lucifer and said, "Hmm~ It does look quite exciting. Seigaku and Fudomine... I remember Seigaku got a kid, that's interesting~"

"You want Seigaku to win?"

"Personally, I hope Seigaku wins, but isn't the reason sports are so interesting because of all the uncertainties? So Sonoko did the right thing; just go watch your friends' games."

"Hmm~ I understand... um... this feeling is..."

Before Lucifer could finish speaking, the door lit up and a man carrying three swords walked in. Both Bai Yu and Lucifer knew this man very well: Roronoa Zoro.

Bai Yu looked at Zoro with a puzzled expression and said, "Hmm? Zoro, why did you come at this time?"

After finding a seat, Zoro sighed and said, "I really should have come to your place, shopkeeper, to calm down..."

"Hey? What would you like to eat?"

"Forget about what to eat first, bring two jugs of wine, the strongest kind!"

"Okay~"

Chapter 310 Hearing that the word "youth" should be opposed to mediocrity, Orange-haired Girl (Please subscribe~)

Zoro's expression at this moment was unusually serious, or rather, he seemed to be suppressing his anxiety.

Lucifer knew Zoro because he came with Mai Shiranui that day, and Zoro was even kicked to the ground and admitted defeat by Shiraha. Lucifer was one of the few people who recognized this kid.

No... to be precise, apart from Tony, who's a master of imagination, and Esdeath, who practically packed herself up and sent her away, everyone else had a good impression of these otherworldly guests. Even Yuuka Kazami in front of him was like that. Lucifer was also very curious about what Yuuka Kazami's contrasting charm was like.

However, in Lucifer's memory, this passionate young man chasing his dreams should be burning with passion, not like he is now, so Lucifer was quite curious about what had happened.

"Your drink... You seem to be in a complicated mood today. What happened?"

Zoro didn't say anything. After opening the bottle, he drank the entire bottle of sake, which was just emitting a strong aroma, straight from the bottle opening. The way he drank made Yuuka Kazami and Clow Reed both twitch at the corner of their mouths. Is this how you drink the strongest sake?

After putting down the sake jug, Zoro wiped his mouth, leaned back in his chair, and said with a smile, "Phew! That was refreshing! Your sake is definitely more satisfying, boss, though the quantity is too small!"

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "Judging from Shanks and Hawkeye's drinking capacity, people in your world must be pretty good drinkers."

"I don't know, I haven't been very far yet, but it'll be soon. You might not believe it, but I've become a pirate now~ That's really unexpected~"

Bai Yu thought for a moment, tilted his head, and said, "Weren't you like that before?"

"Huh? Do I look like a pirate?! Huh?!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu didn't speak, but everyone, including Kazami Yuuka, nodded, their expressions of confirmation making Zoro's lips twitch. Goodness, his blood pressure was rising.

Zoro breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not a pirate! No... I wasn't a pirate before! I used to be a pirate hunter! A pirate hunter who caught and killed pirates for bounties!"

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "So... this is the legendary story of the dragon-slaying boy who will eventually become a dragon himself?"

Zoro paused, unusually thoughtful, and after a moment of contemplation, nodded and said, "I don't know where this saying came from, but it really makes sense! That's right! I am that dragon-slaying boy! Bah! Man!"

Passionate young people always give people a subconscious feeling of being easy to get along with and can easily liven up the atmosphere. This passion can not only ignite themselves but also those around them. A burning flame will never only warm itself.

Bai Yu looked at Zoro and said with a smile, "You probably didn't become a pirate on a whim, did you? Looks like you've done something really interesting."

Zoro chuckled, leaning one arm on the chair, and said, "Ah~ it's quite an interesting matter, isn't it? But~ Boss, how about we discuss something?"

Bai Yu paused for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "So you really are a warmonger, huh?"

"No! I just want to get stronger! To keep getting stronger! To become the greatest swordsman! So... Shopkeeper! I'm here to challenge you again!"

Bai Yu sighed and said, "Alright~ But it's a promise~ This time..."

Zoro stood up and said with a smile, "Yes! I'll use my full strength!"

Bai Yu twisted his neck and loosened his wrists before saying softly, "No, no, no~ What I mean is, fighting is fine, but you can't hold a grudge if you lose~"

"To be a man, you have to be willing to lose in order to win!"

Bai Yu rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's begin~ You go first~"

Zoro pulled out a black bandana and tied it on. Then, he drew three well-maintained swords, one in each hand and one in his mouth, his eyes like those of a wolf eyeing its prey.

"Three-sword style..."

The next second, everyone looked at Zoro lying on the ground, unable to move, with mixed feelings. Just a moment ago, Bai Yu directly placed one hand on Zoro's face, blocked the cross-shaped slash of the two swords with the other hand, and kicked him away.

Bai Yu shook his hand and said, "Good lad~ It hasn't been that long, and your strength has increased so much~"

"It's been two months already~ But you're really something, shop manager! I thought I could at least manage to cut you once! Damn it!"

Kuro Reid and the others were at a loss for words at the sight. Bai Yu's image seemed to have suddenly changed a lot. That set of actions just now was not something this seemingly gentle restaurant manager could do! You're a chef, for crying out loud!

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How is it? Do you feel like you have a companion?"

Zoro lay on the ground with one arm over his face, chuckled, and said, "Not bad~ He's an idiot, but he's kind of interesting!"

Zoro struggled to his feet as he spoke. Everyone looked at his chest, which had been kicked by Bai Yu. The entire area was bruised, and some wounds could be vaguely seen, mostly knife wounds.

Kuro Reid said with some surprise, "Judging from the scars on your chest, you must have been in a lot of battles. What a passionate young man!"

Zoro casually stretched his shoulders before laughing and saying, "Not a boy, but a man!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "In a way, you really are still a teenager~"

"Huh? What do you say?"

"Hmm... Let me ask you a question~ If one night a girl you're close to asks you to come over to her place and says that no one's home today, and she's scared and bored by herself, and you happen to be training, what would you do?"

"Of course I brought them along for training!"

Everyone wore an "I knew it!" expression. Kazami Yuuka even curled her lips slightly. She looked like a typical straight man, but people like that are usually passionate. Bai Yu smiled and said, "So, in a sense, you have the ambition of a man, but you're still a boy~"

"Um... I don't know what it means, but just admitting you're a man is enough!"

"There's nothing wrong with being a teenager~ Aren't they all like dream-chasing teenagers and passionate teenagers?"

Zoro thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "Let me hear it again, shopkeeper! Give me another serving of that braised pork... and lots of rice! I've been starving for ages!"

"No problem~ Besides, your dream is perfect for a certain phrase~"

"what?"

"I've heard that the word 'youth' should be opposed to mediocrity~ You seem much more passionate than Hawkeye~"

"Of course! I'm going to become the world's greatest swordsman! And then reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship! How could it be an ordinary dream!"

Bai Yu nodded. Passionate young men can always ignite people's passion. Just as Bai Yu was about to turn around, he saw an orange-haired girl run in with a small bag, close the door, and sit on the ground with a long sigh of relief.

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "Guests from other worlds all like to crowd together..."

Chapter 311 Zoro's First Fellow Countryman, Nami~ (Please Subscribe~)

Everyone was taken aback by the appearance of the girl, because her figure seemed somewhat incongruous with her age... oops, I mean, the girl was holding a money bag with a skull and crossbones symbol printed on it.

The girl seemed to realize what was happening at this moment, looking at Bai Yu and the others with a nervous expression, but quickly and skillfully said, "Ahaha~ Um, I was just passing by~ I'll leave now~"

He turned around and opened the shop door, but after seeing a soft white light, he silently closed it again, leaning against the door without saying a word.

After a long silence, the girl asked softly, "Where is this place? What is that light?"

Hearing this voice, which sounded tense even though the person had their back to him, Bai Yu sighed and said, "Um... this place is a restaurant in another world..."

"Another world?! Can I go back?! I'll pay any price! I must go back!"

Bai Yu looked at the money pouch in the girl's hand and said gently, "Don't be nervous. This is just a restaurant. You can go back as soon as you open the door. But you seem to have something on your mind."

Hearing that she could go back, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and said, "Yes... I have a reason to go back, it's so good to be able to go back!"

For some reason, Zoro sensed the scent of the sea emanating from this girl. As he drank his wine, he said in a deep voice, "You came from the sea?"

The girl paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, our world has a vast ocean, but there are many pirates and the Navy..."
