People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Huh?" x2

Yukari Yakumo paused for a moment, then said with a puzzled look, "Is it the Soul Absorber I imagined?"

Aoandon nodded and said, "Ah... um... yes... it's about absorbing the souls of humans and yokai into the lantern..."

Yukari Yakumo thought about this ability and realized that it was both incredibly powerful and utterly useless, but it certainly lived up to the name "Aoandon" (Blue Lantern).

Bai Yu laughed and said, "So it feels like this place is quickly turning into a different kind of hell, a pirate's den, and a monster's canteen..."

Upon hearing "Hell" and "Yokai Dining Hall," Lucifer and his companions all raised an eyebrow. Yukari Yakumo gave a meaningful smile. "Yokai Dining Hall... that's interesting..."

Yukari Yakumo's expression startled Yuuka Kazami. She had a feeling that this cunning and troublemaking old woman had thought of something outrageous. She was still uneducated and deserved to be taught a lesson by Shiraha.

However, Yukari Kazami could basically guess what Yukari was thinking, because Yukari only showed that look after Shiraha finished saying those three names. It was obvious that it was related to one of them. As a wise (idle/salty) person, she didn't need to guess that she was interested in that youkai cafeteria.

However, Kazami Yuuka remained silent, because Yakumo Yukari clearly did not want to connect to the world. This proved that Yakumo Yukari was still considering it. Although she liked the food here very much and had a good impression of Shiraha and the others, she still would not make a hasty decision.

Bai Yu looked at Aoandon, who was sitting on the lamp completely at a loss for what to do, and said with a smile, "So, Miss Aoandon, would you like to rest here for a while? Or would you like something to eat?"

Aoandon smiled and said, "Can I really eat here? Food from another world!"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "As long as the ingredients are available, you can eat whatever you want."

"Will-o'-the-wisp burns!"

"I can make fire-baked pastries, but I can't make will-o'-the-wisps..."

After thinking for a moment, Aoandon tilted her head and said, "In that case... I don't know what to eat either. I have absolutely no idea what kind of food is available here..."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "So, Miss Qingxingdeng, what flavor would you like to eat? Meat or vegetarian?"

"If you don't want to eat vegetarian food, something a little stronger in flavor, that way I can remember it more clearly!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Meat, with a stronger flavor, right? What about drinks?"

"liquor!"

Yakumo Yukari's eyes lit up. Good heavens, this is a good youkai. It's confirmed. The way she eats is the same as hers. It's definitely a good youkai.

Bai Yu nodded and was about to leave when he heard Qingxingdeng say, "Manager! Manager! We want food with a strong otherworldly theme!"

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "No problem, but can Miss Aoandon get down from the lantern? Does being called Aoandon mean you can only stay on the lantern?"

Aoandon jumped down immediately, while the lantern bobbed up and down twice. Aoandon said with a smile, "Of course not. When I'm with the lantern, we're called Aoandon. It would be very inconvenient if I couldn't get down, and I wouldn't be able to put on my shoes if I couldn't get down."

Bai Yu nodded and said gently, "Then please find a seat wherever you like, and I will go prepare the food."

"Ok!"

Is Aoandon an easy person to talk to? Yes and no. If you listen to her stories, tell her stories, and make her feel curious, then she's easy to talk to. Otherwise, that paper lantern contains more than just one or two souls. The Hyakumonogatari game is no joke.

After sitting down, Aoandon looked at the completely different style of table and chairs compared to her own, and at the bright lamp. As Aoandon, she naturally knew that it was definitely not candlelight, but something she didn't know, which was brighter, warmer, and had a wider range of light.

Looking at Aoandon, who was clearly a cold and aloof older sister, but was looking around like a curious child, Yakumo Yukari smiled and said, "It seems that Aoandon, you live in a rather ancient era. These things are still quite common in the human world of this world."

Aoandon nodded, looking enlightened, and asked with a puzzled expression, "And who are you two...?"

With a smile, Yakumo Yukari held up a fan and said, "My name is Yakumo Yukari, and I am a Great Demon of the Realm."

"realm?"

"It's just a very interesting thing. In short, you just need to know that Aoandon is very powerful."

Aoandon nodded. Although she was curious, she knew that Yakumo Yukari wouldn't casually reveal her powers as a topic of conversation. Kazami Yuuka said softly, "Kazami Yuuka is also a youkai..."

Aoandon was taken aback. Goodness, she didn't even mention what kind of yokai it was. Yakumo Yukari smiled and said, "Yuuka is very powerful, that's something we can attest to."

Aoandon nodded, deciding not to ask questions she shouldn't. As a race like youkai that needs to fight, she knew this very well. As she spoke, Aoandon looked at Pandemonica and Lucifer on the other side.

Lucifer laughed and said, "We two aren't monsters."

"Eh?"

"We are demons."

"demon?"

Aoandon knew the word, but wasn't it used to insult people, like "you demon" or "devil"? Was it some kind of race? She didn't know what a demon was, but she did know what an evil spirit was. However, this made her look forward to it. It was a demon, after all. This ghost story was too interesting.

Lucifer laughed and said, "Yes, you may not have heard of her, but just know that I am the Queen of Hell."

"Hmm... Huh?! The Queen of Hell?!"

Aoandon froze for a moment, then stammered, "Isn't the master of Hell Lord Enma...?"

Lucifer laughed and said, "The rulers of Hell are different in different mythologies. For example, in Greek mythology, the ruler of Hell is Hades."

Aoandon tilted her head and said, "Mythology?"

Lucifer didn't hesitate to share this kind of knowledge that even a child would know, treating it as a casual conversation. Because she looked somewhat like Kirari, Lucifer had a good impression of Aoandon.

In the following time, Lucifer talked about the classification of myths, the myths of the biblical system he belonged to, including his own existence, and the matter of hell, with Yukari Yakumo occasionally interjecting.

Aoandon listened intently, just like a studious student eager to absorb knowledge. Joking around, her body was entwined with Jormungandr, the guardian of the precious tree, Ladon, the giant Typhon, and many other classic myths and stories about Lucifer, all of which were stories she had never heard before.

Moreover, these beings are even greater, more unimaginable, and more wondrous. Although they are less terrifying, they are indeed all new stories.

She now felt she could tell a whole new set of stories. Aoandon breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These are all incredibly powerful beings. But Lord Lucifer, are there any bizarre or grotesque beings among them?"

Upon hearing this, Lucifer's lips twitched. Good heavens, she was thinking of Sadako and the others again. Just thinking about them gave Lucifer nightmares.

Lucifer couldn't bring himself to say it, and didn't even want to recall it. He shook his head and said, "You should ask Bai Yu about this. He really likes these kinds of horror and grotesque works."

"Eh?! Who is Bai Yu, sir?"

"It's the store manager!"

"Eh?!"

Chapter 432 Aoandon Watching Horror Movies (Please Subscribe~)

Aoandon was completely unprepared for this situation, because it was hard to imagine that the owner of such a beautiful and bright shop would like such terrifying and bizarre stories.

At this moment, Bai Yu was not making Chinese food for Qing Xingdeng. Since she wanted to know about the other world, she should try to stay away from Eastern food and choose something she had never eaten before. French food was a good choice.

Aoandon looked at Lucifer with some doubt and asked, "Lord Lucifer, are those strange things also monsters?"

Lucifer thought for a moment, then shuddered and said, "No, no, no... in a sense, calling them ghosts and monsters is more accurate. In any case, these things are not your average... bizarre..."

She wanted to say it was terrifying, but with so many people around, if he said he was afraid of ghosts, would she still be able to be the queen? The pride of the Queen of Hell would never allow her to be afraid of ghosts! At this moment, the Queen of Hell was once again enraged in a strange place.

Aoandon looked on with anticipation; she wanted to hear such bizarre stories. With some surprise, she asked, "Lord Lucifer, are these all strange tales from this world?"

Lucifer thought for a moment. Sadako crawled out of the TV, and there was even a videotape of her. Kayako and the like were even more outrageous. Lucifer shook his head quickly at the thought, then nodded and said, "Hmm...and it's not just ordinary grotesque..."

"Wow! I'm really looking forward to it!"

Lucifer waved his hand somewhat helplessly and said, "What's the scariest ghost story you've ever heard? Something like that will do."

"Entering the sparrow... a couple of women or something like that..."

After checking, Lucifer sighed and said, "Then you might be scared by these guys... because they're even more outrageous..."

"Eh?!"

Aoandon thought the strange tales of the Inner Birds were already frightening enough, but could there be something even more terrifying? She suddenly became expectant.

Yukari Yakumo was also quite curious, because the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons was quite famous, and she knew that Suzume Irauchi and Ryoukuchi-onna were indeed legendary and terrifying yokai.

As they were chatting, Bai Yu pushed the food cart out and smelled a rich aroma. Qing Xingdeng was slightly taken aback. This smell was wonderful, but she had never smelled it before. It was either the fragrance of flowers or the aroma of food.

"French pan-seared foie gras, cream of mushroom soup, and non-alcoholic champagne, please enjoy."

Looking at the exquisite and beautiful dish in front of her, exuding a rich aroma, and at the beautiful champagne in the champagne glass that looked like yellow crystal, Qingxingdeng took a deep breath. This rich aroma was definitely unlike anything she had ever eaten before.

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Because I felt that Miss Qingxingdeng might not know how to use a knife and fork, I have already cut it for you. You can just use your fork to eat it. Apart from the utensils, everything is edible."

Aoandon nodded, and somewhat impatiently picked up a fork and speared a piece of foie gras. After taking a bite, the aroma of cream, butter, foie gras, and pepper was a deliciousness she had never experienced before.

She couldn't find the words to describe it. She even wondered if she had eaten something wrong. The soft texture and the rich aroma that she had never tasted before were so wonderful that she wanted to swallow it whole.

Completely unable to stop, Bai Yu knew this would be the effect, so instead of just putting in a little bit like traditional pan-fried foie gras, he put in two large pieces, enough for Qingxingdeng to eat.

Immerse yourself in this rich aroma, in this unprecedented taste sensation, this ultimate enjoyment on your tongue and taste buds. As mentioned in the preface, some dishes don't require you to learn how to eat them; you can understand them just by looking at them.

That's how Aoandon was. After eating a few bites of foie gras, she used her fork to pick up a piece of white pear from one side. Just as the name suggests, the pear had an indescribable fragrance. This fragrance was sweet and refreshing, and the crispness and juiciness cut through the previous richness, making it more refreshing, but the mellow aroma was still there.

The combination of these elements creates a breakthrough in flavor, taking it to another level. With these, taking a sip of champagne is the epitome of ultimate enjoyment, leaving your taste buds in a state of blissful intoxication.

These flavors and textures, when finished with the rich, creamy, and smooth cream of mushroom soup, need no further explanation; such deliciousness successfully won over the already conquered Aoandon.

Yakumo Yukari nodded at Aoandon, who ate with exceptional ladylike grace despite how delicious the food was. As expected of a legendary youkai, she was indeed polite and a good youkai just like herself!

Yukari Yakumo's inner monologue is definitely something she won't say aloud; in fact, if she did, Yuuka Kazami would definitely not be able to resist taking action.

"Mmm, so delicious... This is such a delicacy..."

Bai Yu looked at Qing Xingdeng and said gently, "Thank you for the compliment, but this level is not enough. It's just some ordinary dishes."

Yukari Yakumo raised an eyebrow and said, "Ordinary? Oh dear, Mr. Manager, you've really said something that surprises me."

Bai Yu sighed helplessly. Why did he always feel like his words were just a way to fool people?

Aoandon looked at Bai Yu with some anticipation and said, "Shopkeeper Bai Yu, I heard from Lord Lucifer that you like horror and bizarre stories, is that true?"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "That's true. I am indeed quite interested in these things. You... oh right, I almost forgot you are Aoandon. You should be very interested in these stories, right?"

Aoandon nodded repeatedly, and Bai Yu thought for a moment before saying, "In that case, I'll find you some movies. Do you want to watch Lucifer?"

Lucifer slapped Bai Yu in annoyance and shouted, "I don't want to see such bizarre things!"

After shouting, Lucifer noticed everyone staring at her. She coughed lightly and said, "Pander!"

"Boss, what do you want to say?"

Lucifer chuckled and said, "Pander, aren't you curious about these ghosts and monsters?"

Pandemonica thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it a skeleton?"

Lucifer raised an eyebrow, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "Pander," he said, "then go watch it with Aoandon. It's quite interesting, not just about skeletons!"

"Eh? Oh..."

Chapter 433 The Three People Who Were Startled, and Aoandon's Competence (Please Subscribe~)

When Aoandon saw the computer in front of her, she was stunned for a moment. This little box could actually light up and contained all sorts of things, which reminded her of the Box of Demons.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's start with this movie. Pan De, you can leave anytime if you're scared."

Pandemonica thought for a moment and said, "Bai Yu, do you want to watch it together?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. Let's watch for a while then. Lucifer, are you really not going to watch?"

Lucifer shook his head decisively and said, "I absolutely will not watch! Absolutely!"

Bai Yu sighed helplessly. Because of the seating arrangement, Bai Yu moved another chair and sat next to Pandemonica. When the movie started, Qingxingdeng was surprised that there were people and buildings in the box. Although she didn't know what the things were except for the people, she hadn't even seen the clothes.

But this only excited him more. Didn't this prove even more that it was something from another world? Aoandon watched with exceptional focus, as did Pandemonica. She was very curious about what kind of ghost could make her boss like this.

"What do you think Pander is?"

Pandemonica turned her head and glanced at Lucifer, who was already wearing headphones, and sighed, saying, "The boss is surprisingly timid. I don't think it's anything scary. As a customer service representative from Hell, I've seen plenty of ghosts and monsters."

"Huh? Really? I remember Lucifer said the same thing back then."

Pandemonica was taken aback, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. Surely there couldn't be anything more terrifying than those skeletons? She still couldn't believe there could be anything truly horrifying.

Aoandon was watching intently when a scream during the movie brought Yakumo Yukari, who had been watching for a long time, over to watch as well.

Time passed by, and it was still three beautiful women and one man watching a horror movie together, but the style was no longer the same as before.

At first, Aoandon was full of anticipation and focused intently, her face beaming with excitement as she heard the school legends. Pandemonica, on the other hand, remained calm, feeling that it was just something to fool children. As for Yakumo Yukari, she nodded frequently, seemingly oblivious to what she was looking at.

Now, Bai Yu's shoulder was being gripped tightly by Yakumo Yukari, her pupils trembling. Aoandon was completely dumbfounded. You're a ghost, so why are you looking so bizarre, and why are you doing this with this scene and music?! Aoandon grabbed Bai Yu's arm directly. She was startled but still wanted to see, and was still a little unable to accept it.
