People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Lucifer and the others immediately realized that the store had been upgraded. Klara asked疑惑地, "Bai Yu, did you have someone come and renovate it recently? But it can't be this fast~ Is there a high-quality team working day and night to finish it? If so, that's a really efficient team~"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "That's roughly the idea."

When everyone followed Bai Yu back into the store, everyone except Bai Yu was stunned. The store was still the same style, but the whole store had become much larger and had many more things added. For example, there was a wine cabinet at the counter, several large tables in the expanded area, several bookshelves nailed to the wall along the stairs, and a restroom in the corner, and so on.

Kraki exclaimed in surprise, "Wow~ It's really become even more complete and beautiful than before! It seems to have a stronger sense of everyday life now!"

Without much hesitation, everyone went upstairs. Once there, they discovered that there were more rooms, and the carpets upstairs were softer. In short, various improvements made the place more comfortable without giving the impression of a completely different place.

Yuuko Ichihara laughed and said, "What an amazing upgrade! This way, we can attract even more people. Especially the shop entrance, it looks so much nicer now! Eh? Kraki, what's wrong?"

"Managi-sama and the others are coming back tomorrow! That's great!"

Chapter 360 Garuda's Junior Sister, Because She Likes This Place (Please Subscribe~)

Everyone was stunned when they heard Kraki's words. Yuko Ichihara and Jinx really didn't know anything about it, but Elena and Garuda got excited.

Garuda asked expectantly, "Kraqi-nee! You're a First-Class Executor... then... is that Managi-sama Nakiri Managi?!"

Elena covered her mouth in surprise and said, "No way! That one-of-a-kind Special Executive Officer in the world, who can decide a store's star rating and whether it can continue operating with just a word, is also coming to Mr. Bai Yu's store?!"

Lucifer and the others were stunned. Goodness, they knew that Nakiri Managi was the only Special Class Enforcer, but this was just too amazing. She was practically the arbitrator of the culinary world!

Kraki nodded and said, "Yes! This time, Lady Managi, along with Dekra, who is a First-Class Executor like me, and Anne, as well as Rantabi, one of Lady Managi's personal Executors and a Second-Class Executor, will all be coming!"

Garuda cheered immediately, while Lucifer asked in confusion, "Garuda, you seem to be really looking forward to Nakiri Managi's arrival?"

Garuda nodded and said, "Yes, yes! Because Nakiri Managi is a completely different kind of strong woman. She can control the huge WGO all by herself. She almost never shows her face, but she can still control the fate of more than half of the world's catering companies. In just a few years, she has transformed WGO from a simple food institution into a huge economic entity spanning multiple industries. She has a lot of fans!"

Hearing this, Lucifer nodded and then said in confusion, "Eh? Now that you mention it, I suddenly thought of Mr. Yamashita's son, Kenzo Yamashita. They both control huge economic groups without ever showing their faces."

Garuda quickly said, "Nakiri Managi is rumored to be very beautiful, much better than that Yamashita Kenzo~"

Kobayashi Rindou tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "There's only one Nakiri lineage in the whole world, the Totsuki Nakiri family. Nakiri Managi became a Special Enforcer because of her God Tongue, and only one person in the Nakiri family possesses the God Tongue, Shiraha. What's the relationship between Nakiri Managi and Erina?"

"Mother and daughter~"

"What?! Erina is Nakiri Managi's daughter?! But why have I never seen Nakiri Managi in Totsuki Academy?"

Kraki sighed and recounted the whole story. She then noticed that Kobayashi Rindou and the others all wore shocked expressions. Garuda murmured blankly, "So the God Tongue is such a terrifying demon... Nakiri Managi is really pitiful... But thankfully, she's alright now!"

Rindou Kobayashi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I wonder how Erina will react when she finds out..."

Bai Yu said irritably, "What's the point of you all lamenting about things that have already been resolved...? Let's go downstairs for dinner~ Yuuko's going to rebel again if we stay any longer~"

Yuuko Ichihara rolled her eyes and said, "Don't bring me into this kind of conversation. I didn't say a word the whole time, okay?"

In the end, due to the number of people, Bai Yu naturally chose the yin-yang hot pot. He originally thought that some of Elena and the others might not be able to handle spicy food, but in the end, almost no one ate the clear broth. They only ate the non-spicy broth because they couldn't stand the spiciness.

Kasugano Sora also took the opportunity to drink her fill of soda. At first, Elena had never eaten this before. Seeing how spicy the pot was, she didn't want to try it, but after seeing everyone eating from that pot, she gave it a try and then couldn't stop.

It's worth mentioning that Elena has confirmed that she will be transferring to Otonokizaka and will be in the same class as Garuda, both in their second year of high school. However, the choice of a host family is causing Garuda some difficulty.

Because of the special nature of the Garuda Wu clan, Elena was unable to stay there. Kirari also lived at the school, and Zhu Mei's place was a bit far away. Bai Yu's place wasn't very far, but Elena said she didn't want to trouble Bai Yu anymore, so she didn't stay there.

After agonizing for a long time, Garuda suddenly thought of someone, clapped his hands and shouted, "I know! If it's her, I would feel completely at ease letting Elena stay with us! Besides, she usually lives alone, so she can keep me company!"

Yuuko Ichihara asked in confusion, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Of course it's a girl! She's my junior! We're really close! She's very gentle and beautiful, cooks really well, and loves fashion design. Her designs often win international awards! She's also excellent at her studies!"

Lucifer nodded and said, "As expected of such a famous girls' school, there really are such outstanding girls. In that case, Elena should be fine."

Elena said with some worry, "But... will Little Garuda's junior agree? It'll be so strange having another person staying here all of a sudden..."

"Don't worry~ She's a really nice person~ And even if she didn't say anything, her mother would recommend you stay at her house~"

"Eh?!"

Garuda said in confusion, "Eh? Didn't I mention that her mother is the principal of Otonokizaka Academy? She would highly recommend that you, Elena, stay at her home, because she's usually very busy and can't come home often. So she would really appreciate it if Elena could keep her daughter company!"

"You didn't say anything!"

Hot pot, one of the most effective dishes for creating a lively atmosphere, quickly enlivened everyone's mood. However, Garuda didn't stay long before eagerly dragging Elena to school, saying he would bring her over whenever he had time.

Kobayashi Rindou also took Kirari's car back to Totsuki, although the direction was completely off from Totsuki. It was obvious that Kobayashi Rindou wanted to talk to Kirari about something, but that was not their concern.

Seeing the suddenly dwindling number of people, Jinx, who loves a lively atmosphere, lazily slumped onto the table and said, "Hey~ Chef~ Is school fun?"

Hearing this, Kasugano Sora said playfully, "Eh? Jinx~ You don't actually want to go back to school, do you~?"

"Since you all have to go to school, I'm quite curious~"

Kasugano Sora thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but Jinx, your personality is probably more suited to university, right?"

"I don't know what it is~ but I'm too lazy to say... I think I'm a bit too full.... I didn't feel this way on that island before~ It's strange~"

As Lucifer tied her hair up and helped clear the table, she casually remarked, "Because you prefer it here~"

"I prefer...this place..."

Chapter 361 Your Child Must Not Be Close to You, Yuuko's Good Family (Please Subscribe~)

The speed of time varies from person to person. For Klara, who is looking forward to tomorrow, time seems to pass very slowly.

But for Jinx and Yuuko Ichihara, time had never seemed to fly by. Jinx said she was going to pull off a big heist before deciding whether to come back, while Yuuko Ichihara had to return to her own world to deal with her own affairs, otherwise, she would still have an unbreakable connection with that world.

Both of them will leave tonight, and neither of them mentioned linking to their own world. Bai Yu knows very well why Ichihara Yuko is doing this. She has given up everything from the past and will now live in this world bearing the real name of Ichihara Yuko. This is her choice.

Jinx remarked that there wasn't anything fun on her end, except for causing destruction. She added casually, "Especially the cook~ You made that menopausal psychotic Caitlyn cry, she won't let you get away with it~ I told you, if you were on my side, I'd protect you~"

"But if that crazy woman brings Wei, that big dummy, to arrest you, I can't protect you either. Although I feel like they can't beat you, they still have guns."

Jinx completely ignored Lucifer and the others. As a clever and mischievous girl, how could she have such a bad memory? Obviously, she just didn't want Lucifer and the others to see such a chaotic and sinful place. This little girl can't even lie properly, and she was seen through very quickly. No one said anything.

Kraki rested for a while before going to take care of her business. After all, Nakiri Managi and the others would be back the next day, so she was quite busy. After the only person who didn't know about the existence of the other world left, the atmosphere became subtle.

Lucifer sat in his chair with his arms crossed, watching Yuuko Ichihara sitting next to Shiraha, who was drinking from a small wine glass by herself, and said softly, "Yuuko, are you sure you don't need me to go?"

Yuuko Ichihara downed her drink in one gulp, let out a sigh, and said, "In this world, there is only inevitability, not chance. My arrival here is inevitable. Conversely, in the other world, the mess that cunning guy left me with is also inevitable for me to clean up. This is fate... and also my own burial..."

“No dimension in that world can bear my existence any longer, let alone yours. With Yuuko Ichihara appearing in this world, that world has lost its meaning. The world I created has also collapsed, and there is no need to rebuild it. Lucifer, are you reluctant to part with me?”

Lucifer sighed and said, "No... I'm just worried that you'll mess things up when you get back because of your current personality. After all, your power is still quite formidable on your side, and who knows what might happen~"

"Forehead...."

Kasugano Sora also whispered, "And Yuuko-neechan seems really lazy lately... I'm worried she'll procrastinate because she wants to go out or is too lazy to move... If that happens, she'll be back very late..."

"I..."

Cerberus remarked with deep sympathy, "Yuko might just suddenly quit halfway through... I feel like your world is going to be in for a rough ride..."

Yuuko Ichihara's lips twitched. Good grief, is this her family? Only close friends would speak like this, but give me back all the emotions and reluctance I felt before! That's too much!

Yuuko Ichihara glanced at the group and then turned to Shiraha, saying, "Shiraha~ They're teasing me again!"

Lucifer sighed. Yuuko Ichihara was really getting more and more unrestrained. Bai Yu casually pinched Yuuko Ichihara's cheek and said, "Yuuko~ Actually, what they said is what I'm worried about too. Also, what are you going back for this time?"

This question surprised Lucifer and the others. They genuinely had no idea what Ichihara Yuuko was planning to do back home. Ichihara Yuuko removed Shiraha's hand, rubbed her face, and said, "Well... let me think about it..."

"That cunning guy's plans have all fallen apart, so he'll probably take Mokona with him... I wonder what he'll do with her. But even though she's dead, she's not really dead, so I don't need to worry about Mokona... My main objective is still to take care of Fei-Wang..."

"Let's find someone to inherit my shop~ After all, there are quite a few oddities over there, there should be some interesting things there, and if I want to go and have some fun, I'll have someone to entertain me, sounds pretty good.... This time I won't bring Quan Lu Duolu.... I shouldn't have to worry about the rest...."

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "So, Yuuko, you had a bit of trouble dealing with Fei-Wang this time?"

"Fei-Wang has always wanted to truly resurrect me, but I'm alive now, and I've given up everything I had before. My fate has changed, and Fei-Wang's existence should become blurred and uncertain, but he certainly won't remain rational..."

Kasugano Sora said with some doubt, "But, Yuuko-neechan, you're already alive. Fei-Wang's purpose in existing was to revive you. So when you appear, Fei-Wang has no reason to exist... and he'll just disappear, right?"

Yuuko Ichihara sighed and said, "How could it be so easy? A name, especially a real name, represents destiny. Destiny has many interpretations, such as fate, life, and numerology. Numbers have many distinctions, such as fixed number, calamity, and variable number. I have abandoned everything from the past, and my destiny has changed, so I am no longer the person I used to be. From this perspective, Fei Wang will still exist..."

"From the perspective of matter itself, although time has flowed again, I am still me. Therefore, my resurrection will also impact Fei-Wang. So Fei-Wang will only exist in a blurred, confused state and may even lose his mind, but disappearing is impossible."

"The rejection of all dimensions means the rejection of the world, so I no longer belong to that world. However, the calamity remains, which means I am still related to that world, and Fei Wang can also sense it."

"And then there's..."

Kasugano Sora shouted, "Stop! Yuuko-neechan! Stop talking! I don't understand at all!"

Lucifer, also covering his head, said, "Yuko... honestly... if you had children, they would definitely have a very hard time... you've always been good at moral education..."

"Huh? Really? Am I that good?"

"So your child must not be close to you..."

"That's going too far! Why are you saying that?! I'm very easygoing, okay?! Wait... why am I being dragged into this topic?!"

"Sizzle..."

"Don't run away!"

Chapter 362 Yuuko's Embrace, Yuuko Cries Like a Wimp (Please Subscribe~)

Yuuko Ichihara never found out why she was being asked that question, even though Yuuko was still a "naive girl" who had never even been in a relationship! Was it really okay to torture her like this?!

As night fell, Yuuko Ichihara sighed with relief. She had to leave, and Jinx had to go too. She knew she'd come back, but she felt a pang of sadness at seeing her go...

Especially for Yuuko Ichihara, although she also left for seven days during the Kengan Zemei Tournament, it was different. It was like a family going on a trip. Although she missed home, her family was by her side. This time, she will set off alone, leaving her home and family to go to a familiar but strange world, a world that rejects her.

For some reason, Yuuko Ichihara felt a sense of fear. She was afraid that all of this was just a mirage, an illusion. At that moment, she deeply understood a saying: "I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the sun..."

That's how she is now. A sun has appeared in her life that she could never achieve, and she's been craving its warmth. Now that she's being asked to leave that warmth again, she panics. She has to admit that for a moment she even wanted to ignore what was happening over there and just stay here.

Kraki hadn't returned yet. Jinx looked at the shop door in front of her and felt a sense of resistance for no reason. Bai Yu had also handed over all her weapons to her. Jinx had never felt these weapons so heavy before.

Jinx opened the door, breathed a sigh of relief at the familiar light before her, and turned to Kasugano Sora and Cerberus with a familiar smile, saying, "Sora! Cerberus! I'll come back for you guys after I pull off a big heist~ Everyone, wait for Jinx's triumphant return!"

He turned and went inside, leaving behind only the words: "Chef~ No surprises this time~ I'll give you double next time I come back~ Cops! Your source of chaos is back!"

Although Jinx said that, she knew in her heart whether she was reluctant to leave. It was only seven days here, but she made many friends and experienced a life completely different from Zaun. She was also a little reluctant to leave, but this girl's stubborn personality would never let her show it, so she still left in Jinx's form.

Kasugano Sora and Cerberus seemed a little reluctant to part. Jinx was a good friend of both of them. As Ichihara Yuuko reached the door, she sighed with relief and said, "Seriously... even Jinx is more successful than me..."

It was fine that Jinx left, but when Yuko Ichihara was about to leave as well, Kasugano Sora and Cerberus immediately went over to her. Yuko hugged them both and said with a smile, "You guys are making me lose all the determination I finally made~"

Cerberus, unusually downcast, said, "Yuko, when are you coming back...?"

"I don't know... but... like Bai Yu said, I'm very attached to my home~ and so is Xiao Qiong~ Aren't you supposed to be mature~ how come you're acting like a little girl~"

"I didn't... Yuuko-neechan... come back soon...."

"Um...."

Lucifer sighed and said, "It's really not used to having one less person watching the shop all the time. Yuuko, don't be lazy, don't play around~ Come back early~"

"Okay, okay~ Honestly~ Lucifer is surprisingly talkative too~"

"Fine, if you want to leave today, I won't argue with you anymore. Just wait for you to come back!"

"Cut~"

As Yuuko Ichihara spoke, she looked at the man who had been watching silently from the sidelines the whole time—her master, the head of her household.

Yuuko Ichihara smiled and said playfully, "Shiraha~ Aren't you going to say anything?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I've basically said everything I needed to say. Have you packed everything?"

"Um..."

"Things over there are different from here. Since you didn't let Lucifer and the others go with you, try not to cause trouble out of curiosity. If anything goes wrong, come back, understand?"

"Um...."

Suddenly, Yuuko Ichihara reached out her arm to Shiraha. Shiraha was startled, then smiled and shook his head at Yuuko's expectant expression. He walked over and gently hugged the witch. It was Yuuko's first time being hugged by a man; her body trembled slightly and she stiffened a little, but she quickly and slowly wrapped her arms around Shiraha's back, closing her eyes. She felt very safe and secure, as if it were her own bed…

Bai Yu whispered gently in Ichihara Yuuko's ear, "Yuuko... be careful, and come home soon..."

Yuuko Ichihara gripped Shiraha's clothes tightly as she hugged him from behind before slowly releasing her grip. She whispered, "You're still so cunning... always saying things that leave people speechless... You really are a womanizer!"

“Thank you for the compliment~”

Yuuko smiled, gently pushed Shiroha away, and left that warm embrace. For no apparent reason, Yuuko felt a void. She opened the door, looked at the white light before her, took a deep breath, and said, "Shiroha~ wait for me to come back~"

“Have a nice trip~”
