People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Okay, but you know the opening hours, right? You'll have to wait forty minutes."

Soryuin Shion said with a smile, "Your dinner should be almost ready in forty minutes, right? Just right, no difference. By the way, you seem to have been upstairs for a bit too long."

"Nothing much, I just suddenly wanted to watch the sunset... Hmm? What's wrong, miss?"

The moment Hiratsuka Shizuka saw Shirayu, she stood up abruptly, staring at him in disbelief. She stammered, "It's you!"

"Hmm? You are... Ah! You're the lady I met at the bookstore today."

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded repeatedly, while Soryuin Shion paused for a moment before saying with amusement, "So, Shizuka-senpai, you're talking about Shiraha?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka's lips twitched slightly, but she still nodded. At that moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt like she was still living in a dream...

Chapter 454 Awkward Hiratsuka Shizuka, You're not surnamed Nakiri, are you? (Please subscribe~)

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't know the most embarrassing thing in the world, but now she knew what her most embarrassing thing was: she had spent the whole afternoon talking to Sengoku Chihiro about their encounter, and the man she had been comparing herself to Soryuin Shion the whole way was actually Soryuin Shion's fiancé.

Bai Yu said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be Zi Yin's senior. What a coincidence."

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded repeatedly without saying a word. Although Shiraha felt a little strange, he didn't say anything. Shiraha glanced at Kanadein Shion and said irritably, "Your expression always makes me feel like you're thinking about something bad."

"What else could I be thinking about? Do I look like that kind of person?"

Bai Yu pinched the cheek of Kanadein Shion and said helplessly, "You're the only one who shouldn't be saying this. Kirari is cunning, and you have a wicked sense of humor. The two of you are surprisingly compatible."

Soryuin Shion didn't have any intention of breaking free. She just looked at Shiraha without saying a word. Based on her years of experience, Soryuin Shion knew that at this moment, not saying anything was more effective than saying anything.

Sure enough, Bai Yu let go of his hand and said with some helplessness, "You guys chat here for now, I'm going to prepare dinner."

After Bai Yu left, Zou-yuu-in Shion immediately changed her demeanor, saying with a playful expression, "Shizuka-senpai, shall we compete again? I don't mind."

Hiratsuka Shizuka gritted her teeth and said, "How was I supposed to know it would be such a coincidence!"

Chihiro Sengoku laughed and said, "Hahaha! As expected of Shizuka, you're really something!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka blushed but didn't say anything. Sengoku Chihiro smiled and said, "Shion, your fiancé is really tall and handsome."

Soryuin Shion smiled and said, "Of course, do you think my taste is bad?"

"That's true... Hey? Xiaojing, what are you thinking about?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka said matter-of-factly, "I'm wondering why Shion's fiancé would be interested in her?"

Soryuin Shion said irritably, "So what if I'm charming? But compared to me, Slash is really outrageous! I was shocked at the time."

Tianyu Zhanzhan's lips twitched. Good heavens, she was caught in the crossfire even while just watching. This was just too outrageous. Lucifer said in confusion, "Speaking of which, I really don't know how you all know Bai Yu. You're all so secretive!"

Tenyu Zhanzhan said softly, "I'm similar to Kirari..."

"So how did Kirari meet Shiraha?"

"Contest."

"Oh! I think I know the plot now, but since Kirari is being hired, Zhanzhan, you don't have any requirements in that regard, right..."

Soryuin Shion said with a smile, "Zan-Zan developed feelings after being taught a lesson~"

"Ziyin!"

Lucifer thought for a moment. After Bai Yu finished his match, Tian Yu Zhan Zhan happened to see it and then came to challenge Bai Yu, but he was completely outmatched. After that, he even ate here. Coupled with the title of "Queen of Orders" that Kobayashi Rindou revealed, she probably guessed what had happened.

Lucifer chuckled and said, "Although I don't know exactly what happened, I can guess the gist of it. No wonder you didn't tell me, Zhanzhan..."

Soryuin Shion laughed and said, "Zhanzhan, you're being a little too nervous. Everyone has a dark past, right?"

Tenyu Zhanzhan said unhappily, "So what about yours?"

"I won't tell you. I've already said it's my dark history, my dark history. Zhanzhan, you're still too naive. How could I let anyone know about my dark history?"

At this moment, Tenyu Zhanzhan felt so angry that her teeth itched. Suddenly, she thought of something and glanced at Souyuuin Akemi. Just as Akemi was about to speak, Souyuuin Shion smiled and said, "Akemi, does your sister have a dark past?"

Souryuin Akemi shook her head repeatedly, her eyes almost overflowing with helplessness. She was terrified, but she dared not tell anyone how outrageous her older sister was.

"We're back! Eh?! It's Shion and Zazuru! And Akemi and Mashiro too!"

Just as Tenyu Zan was about to say something, Cerberus ran in. Upon seeing Cerberus, Shiina Mashiro immediately walked over to him.

What did Cerberus go to do?

"go..."

"We're back!"

Before Cerberus could finish speaking, Klara and the others walked in. Seeing both familiar and unfamiliar faces, Klara and the others were quite happy. However, Nakiri Managi immediately spotted Shiina Mashiro in the crowd.

Nakiri Managi immediately leaned over and said with a smile, "Oh my, isn't this Mashiro?"

"Aunt Managi...."

"You should call me Managi-neechan, I'm not that old!"

"Oh... Managi-neechan..."

"Good boy, you're much better than Ranta!"

Rantabi said irritably, "Managi-sama! Mashiro is just innocent! I'm just lively! It's all a good thing, okay!"

Nakiri Managi casually said, "But Mashiro is cuter than you. She looks exactly like me when I was in school! That's great."

Everyone raised an eyebrow. "Are you serious, beautiful lady?" Lucifer sighed and said, "Managi, personally, I feel that you were probably more playful when you were in school..."

Everyone nodded, and Nakiri Managi quickly said, "Who said that! I loved studying when I was in school! Every day was just classes, food tasting, and practice, such a simple life!"

Kraki whispered, "But a simple life doesn't mean a simple personality..."

"Kraqi!"

"Yes!"

What was Nakiri Managi like when she was in school? She was probably similar to what she described, and was considered a princess by many, the center of attention. But you say she was innocent...? According to the victim, she was definitely cunning...

As everyone was chatting, they noticed Hiratsuka Shizuka tilting her head to look at Nakiri Managi. Nakiri Managi, sensing this, asked with a puzzled expression, "Is there something you need? Or do we know each other?"

Because of God Tongue, Nakiri Managi has been hiding in WGO for years. It can be said that she has never seen anyone except her few confidants, and she has blocked their phone numbers. She has even forgotten what many people look like.

Hiratsuka Shizuka thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken... I know you, but you don't know me..."

Chihiro Sengoku asked in confusion, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'knowing each other'?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka said in a deep voice, "Your name is Managi... You wouldn't happen to have the surname Nakiri, would you...?"

Chapter 455 The Interest of the Righteous Demon, Mordis Prepares to Depart (Please Subscribe~)

Hiratsuka Shizuka's words silenced the room. Those who knew, like Soryuin Shion, wore amused expressions, while Shiina Mashiro remained expressionless. Since she knew nothing, she was fine just staying put.

Chihiro Sengoku asked in confusion, "Managi, Nakiri, Nakiri Managi, does it have any special meaning?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka said in a deep voice, "The Nakiri family of Japan controls one of the best culinary schools in the world, Totsuki Culinary Academy, and the current headmaster is Nakiri Senzaemon, who is known as the Demon King of Food. Those who bear the surname Nakiri have a unique skill called God Tongue."

"The current God Tongue of the Nakiri family is Nakiri Erina, who is currently in school. The previous God Tongue was named Nakiri Managi, who is also the only Special Class Executive Officer of the World Gourmet Judging Organization (WGO). If I remember correctly from the magazine, you were that one..."

Nakiri Managi smiled and said, "That's right, it's me!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka exclaimed in surprise, "It really is you! Someone of your caliber is here too. It seems the food here is no ordinary delicacy."

Nakiri Managi said with a smile, "If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't want others to know about Shiraha's shop, and Shiraha doesn't want this shop to be famous, I would have already awarded it the title of the best restaurant in the world."

Hiratsuka Shizuka exclaimed in disbelief, "Such high praise?!"

Nakiri Managi nodded and said, "Of course, there's absolutely no ulterior motive or boasting."

Hiratsuka Shizuka said with some surprise, "That's really impressive. But how did you end up here?"

Nakiri Managi casually said, "I moved the WGO headquarters here. I spent the day checking on the construction and the site."

Hiratsuka Shizuka said with some surprise, "You moved WGO to Tokyo?! This...this is a major international event! What happened to your previous headquarters overseas?"

"It has become the largest branch, and the headquarters is under construction. Now that I think about it, it does seem like a big move, but it doesn't matter. This is an internal matter of WGO and has nothing to do with others."

Hiratsuka Shizuka rubbed her forehead and said, "As expected, bosses are all very willful... So, you came here to make this store a subsidiary of WGO?"

Nakiri Managi laughed and said, "Of course not, don't think of us as something terrifying, we're just going home."

"go home?!"

Nakiri Managi laughed and said, "That's right, we all live here."

Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, "I really don't understand at all... So you guys are executives?"

Klaqi said with a smile, "The three of us are the first-class executives of WGO. As for that Rantabi, he is a second-class executive, but he is a second-class executive with privileges."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's appearance made Sengoku Chihiro ask with a puzzled look, "What is WGO? I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before."

Hiratsuka Shizuka said helplessly, "Senior, I told you to read more books, not more comic books. WGO is a food organization that evaluates all restaurants in the world and awards them with stars, up to three stars."

Chihiro Sengoku said doubtfully, "But it doesn't seem like I have any particularly big privileges..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed and said, "It's different. A single evaluation from WGO can cause those high-star hotels outside to drop their star rating or plummet in value. Moreover, they are involved in all aspects, including ingredients, recipe development, fashion, education, and so on. They are an outrageous organization."

Chihiro Sengoku swallowed hard and said, "Just one sentence... that won't..."

While rubbing her arm, Dekkera laughed and said, "I know what you're going to say. There won't be any favoritism or corruption. The bribes they give might not even be as much as the executives' income, and the level of executives sent to different restaurants is also different."

Chihiro Sengoku's lips twitched as she said, "Just how many more outrageous organizations are there?"

Soryuin Shion said with a smile, "There are many more, but in the culinary world there is only WGO, which can be considered the pinnacle of the field."

Hiratsuka Shizuka is now interested not only in Shiraha, the man, but also in his cooking. For WGO's only Special Grade Executive Officer to give such a high evaluation, it must be no ordinary cooking.

Meanwhile, in Hell, the elusive Justice was taking a walk when he suddenly saw a ball of flame appear before him. Justice adjusted his sunglasses and asked in confusion, "Huh? Who is this? And they're even using this kind of method to contact us?"

Despite his words, Justice still took the ball of fire. The flames vanished, and Justice stood there stunned for a long time. After a long while, he revealed a hearty smile that even a demon couldn't muster, and said, "Lucifer, that guy really is..."

Justice stood there for a moment, thinking, and then said softly, "Pander only said that she, Lucifer, and Cerberus stayed at a restaurant in the human world, but it doesn't seem to say what they were doing."

"Pander's job doesn't allow for absenteeism, but he's skipped work anyway, and with Lucifer knowing. If that's the case, then those two must have made some kind of deal... What could it be..."

"Could it be... Ah! Lucifer disappeared first, and Pander chased after her. In other words, Lucifer arrived at that restaurant a long time ago but didn't leave and stayed there. Pander used his rest time to keep Lucifer's secret. This girl seems to have found something interesting. She's very loyal!"

Justice, as expected of a former chief prosecutor, quickly came up with a fairly accurate analysis. Justice smiled and said, "It seems we should go and see Lucifer in the next couple of days."

Meanwhile, Mordis, who was watching the spider season, suddenly noticed a ball of fire in front of her. Driven by her extraordinary curiosity, she caught it without thinking. The next moment, Mordis was stunned and tilted her head, saying, "Eh? Pander's restaurant in the human world? What are they doing? Are they... on a date?!"

Although Mordis was very interested in love and those strange things, she actually knew nothing about it; she was just genuinely interested. In matters of the heart, this girl was more innocent than a blank sheet of paper, constantly researching based on her curiosity.

"Hmm... I think I should go check out some restaurants in the human world. Maybe I can find something interesting... Pander just leaves without asking for leave, right...? Eh? I don't really have any work anyway. I'll set off after I finish this chapter!"

Chapter 456 The Spider Lily: I'm Not a Lycoris Radiata! (Please Subscribe~)

Managi Nakiri clearly had no awareness of being a Special Enforcement Officer, and was playing and chatting as she pleased without any apparent concern, which made Shizuka Hiratsuka wonder if she was an imposter.

Because Nakiri Managi is completely different from what the magazine described; in fact, you could say she's a completely different person except for her appearance.

Shiro Shiina looked at Kasugano Sora sitting there listening to Aoandon's story, and was about to say something when she heard Kasugano Sora say expectantly, "So the spider lily is actually a yokai too?!"

"Yes, they even eat people."

"Alas!"

Hearing this, Akemi Tsuruin tilted her head and said, "I remember the spider lily has another name..."

Aoandon naturally didn't know what other names it had, because in her time, the red spider lily was just that—a red spider lily, a flower that grew in hell and represented both allure and death.

Kasugano Sora immediately raised her hand and shouted, "I know this! Manjusaka! It means a flower from heaven!"

Aoandon was taken aback. So that's what it was called. It sounded a bit more interesting than the name "Higanbana" (彼岸花). Just as Aoandon was about to speak, she heard Souryuin Akemi tilt her head and say, "Everyone knows that. I'm talking about the real scientific name of Higanbana."

Kasugano Sora was taken aback and asked in confusion, "The flower called 'Higanbana' doesn't actually exist, does it? What's it called?"

Aoandon was also puzzled. How could the flowers that grow on the edge of hell and death also exist in the human world? And it seemed that there were quite a few of them. Are the humans in this world that powerful?

After thinking for a moment, Shuuin Akemi smiled and said, "Ah! It's Lycoris radiata!"

"Lycoris radiata...?! Garlic?!" x2

Not to mention Aoandon, even Kasugano Sora was stunned. This thing is called Lycoris radiata?! Seriously?! It would be quite a sight to see a patch of Lycoris radiata or a patch of spider lilies.
