People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Bai Yu said somewhat helplessly, "Why does this sound so strange? Hmm? Is Lucifer's outfit design finished?"

Lucifer nodded, rummaged through a few sheets of paper, picked one up, and said, "How is it? Is it nice?"

After taking a look, Bai Yu nodded and said, "Hmm, it looks great. I'm really curious to see what you would look like in this gothic outfit with some oriental elements, Lucifer."

Lucifer chuckled and said, "I'm quite curious too, but Yuuko is amazing! She can really fuse so well, that's impressive."

"Of course! We'll go to WGO tomorrow morning, buy the materials in the afternoon, and then head straight home. Perfect plan for the whole day!"

After saying that, he glanced at Bai Yu, who smiled and said, "Sure, I'll go with you."

"You said it yourself, you can't go back on your word."

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, then looked at Shaqi, who was watching him, and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Is something the matter? Or would you like something to drink?"

Saki shook her head and said, "I'm just curious how there could be a man with such terrifyingly good cooking skills as you... Can I ask you a question?"

"Hmm? What's the problem? If it's too personal, then we'll have to see what these two think."

"Hmph!" x2

Yuuko Ichihara and Lucifer both snorted, their faces clearly saying "You know what's good for you." Saki said softly, "I want to know why you chose to open a shop in a place like this?"

"Hmm? Isn't this good?"

Saki shook her head and said, "Your cooking skills are absolutely top-notch in the world! Logically speaking, your restaurant should be located on the most bustling street, frequented by wealthy and powerful people, where a single dish should attract countless customers who would spend a fortune to taste it."

Dumbledore and the others thought so too, and Dumbledore nodded and said, "In fact, I think so too."

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Saki..."

“You are the most powerful chef I have ever seen, and you deserve respect. Just call me Saki.”

Bai Yu nodded and said gently, "Shaqi, do you remember what you ordered?"

"Lime chicken soup, seafood rice, and lime-marinated fish are all common dishes that I can eat often, but they are the most delicious I have ever eaten, bar none."

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "So you mean the seafood rice is delicious, and the lime chicken soup is delicious too, right?"

"Hmm! It's a close call."

"How would you feel if I told you that the beef in the paella was Chateaubriand steak?"

"What?! I was wondering why the taste was so familiar. This lime chicken soup is... Dongtao chicken?"

"It's just regular chicken."

Saki was stunned. Bai Yu smiled and said, "That's why both ordinary and amazing dishes have their fans. There's no need to make those rare dishes just to make money."

"But... even if you believe that all food is equal, your skills shouldn't be so lacking as to be relegated to a street like this, where there aren't even any residents or streetlights. How can you expect customers to come? Isn't the purpose of opening a restaurant to attract more customers and make money?"

Besides, you run a late-night restaurant; how can you expect customers to come to you on such a dark street?

Bai Yu sighed and said, "I'm not short of money. As for not having any customers...aren't you a customer yourself?"

Shaqi was taken aback, and Bai Yu said with a smile, "It's not so much about making money, but about finding peace and quiet. There are always people walking at night, exhausted and full of stories. Bustling places are just more unsettling."

"Find a quiet place, and people who are destined to meet will naturally come here, bringing their own stories and feelings. They can order their favorite food and eat quietly. If they want to say that they don't mind being a listener, then the story becomes even more precious."

Shaqi was taken aback. Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Just like I always say, the guests who come here are all interesting. If this place were very lively, with people coming and going every day in the bustling city, we wouldn't have such interesting guests coming here, would we?"

Dumbledore nodded and said, "That's right. If this place were like an ordinary restaurant, it wouldn't have that feeling."

Saki sighed and said, "As expected, you're no ordinary person..."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'm in Class Two?"

Sachi paused for a moment, then smiled. Hermione and the others also realized what was happening and burst out laughing. Humor is never something to be ashamed of.

This was the first time Shaqi had met someone like this. He was incredibly capable, with both strong skills and a great personality. He didn't seem sinister or arrogant, which made Shaqi feel very relaxed.

After thinking for a long time, Shaqi stood up and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Baiyu... no... Lord Baiyu! I want to become your disciple!"

Bai Yu waved his hand and said, "You're not the first to say that, but I don't take on apprentices because I don't know how to teach. If you have any questions, you can ask me or challenge me."

Saki said in a deep voice, "But aren't you Totsuki's teacher? Is it because I'm a Midnight Chef? I can give up my identity as a Midnight Chef!"

Bai Yu said somewhat helplessly, "I'm not Totsuki's teacher. I was just asked by old man Senzaemon to teach a class in my place."

Saki gritted her teeth, about to say something, when she saw Lucifer casually say while playing on his phone, "Didn't you promise Managi that you'd teach at WGO?"

Sachi was taken aback. Bai Yu sighed and said, "That's for teaching executives. Besides, I'm not a full-time executive. Executives and chefs are two different things."

Saki quickly said, "If I...I...if I apply to become a chef at WGO, can I learn from you?"

Yuko Ichihara said irritably, "Since you've said that, you should at least show some appreciation."

Bai Yu said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, but speaking of which, you..."

Saki quickly said, "I'm not the kind of evil late-night chef, I'll leave the late-night chef profession!"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was... where do you live now?"

Saki shook her head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I just arrived in Tokyo, and I haven't found a hotel yet..."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then you can stay here for now. It's good that Managi and the others are here too, so you can chat with them more. You can come with us to WGO tomorrow."

"Ok!"

Chapter 768 The Assassination Methods of the Midnight Chef, Yukari Yakumo's Pre-order (Please Subscribe~)

Dumbledore eventually left with Hermione and the others, but before leaving, Hermione glanced at Yuko Ichihara, who simply smiled. Lucifer twitched his fingers but said nothing more.

Hermione, who was about to leave, suddenly paused and then smiled, because something had suddenly appeared in her mind. After the group left, Bai Yu also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems like there aren't many customers today."

Saki was chatting with Yuuko Ichihara, or rather, being chatted with. Saki was quite curious about Yuuko Ichihara, mainly because she was curious about Midnight Chef.

"Huh?! You late-night chefs are kind of like assassins?!"

"For example, seafood like lobster, when combined with a large amount of mulberries, can have the same effect as arsenic, and can reasonably kill a person."

Yuuko Ichihara said blankly, "You guys are really outrageous. If you're not going to say anything, isn't this something that many people should already know?"

"It's very simple. You just need to make the lobster or something look like something you can't tell the difference. Generally speaking, if someone hires you to do this, they will definitely handle it properly. There is absolutely no danger."

Yuko Ichihara sighed and said, "Is this what they call 'trouble comes from what we eat'? Besides food and drink, is there any other way to get rid of someone?"

Sachi sighed and said, "You really are very curious about this kind of thing. People who don't know might think you're some kind of bad guy. I'm not the kind of person who cooks late at night, so I don't know many methods. Besides using reasonable methods to eat dead people, there are a few other ways."

Lucifer asked curiously, "What are they? Name a few, we're all very interested."

Sachi's lips twitched. Anyone who didn't know better would think they had stumbled into a restaurant run by a late-night chef, where everyone was gathered to discuss assassination tips.

Sachi thought for a moment and said, "For example, you can mix venomous snakes in a pool of eels, or put venomous scorpions in a pool of crabs and lobsters. When the target tries to pick them out by hand, they will be poisoned and die. That way, there will be no way to prove it."

"Because the snake will be disposed of afterward, there are no witnesses in small meetings. The only witness is the target. Even if there are people, they have been bribed or died slowly. People are usually the ones who can disguise themselves or do it very cleanly so that no one recognizes them."

Yuko Ichihara's lips twitched. These guys were truly outrageous. Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "Don't you guys have any other way besides messing with the ingredients?"

Sachi thought for a moment and said, "Some... in a sense, they're not even chefs. They're the kind who cause fires or electrocutions. Their status as chefs is just for show..."

"Ah! There's another kind, something called live cooking. That kind of method involves using a special technique to set the fire on a person when the flames are at their strongest. This is usually done to make the target hospitalized, miss a meeting, or sign a contract."

Yukari Yakumo said with a hint of helplessness, "They really are a bunch of heartless bastards. They'll do anything for their so-called profits..."

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "Saki, what type of late-night chef are you?"

"I felt that people in the culinary world only served customers who couldn't showcase their talents, so I joined the Midnight Chef. I basically cook during various meetings and negotiations, or maybe handle weapons... In short, I don't do things like murder..."

Lucifer sighed and said, "That's really outrageous. But speaking of which, Zi, why are you so late today?"

Yukari Yakumo sighed and said, "Thank goodness you finally said it. We would have forgotten if no one had reminded us. Ran! Why didn't you remind us?"

Ran Yakumo's hand, which was holding the fried tofu, trembled, and the tofu fell directly to the ground. Ran Yakumo was stunned; it had indeed fallen to the ground.

Yakumo Ran felt very wronged and wanted to cry. She felt as if her heart had fallen to the ground and shattered along with that piece of fried tofu! But Yakumo Ran didn't dare to cry.

Yukari Yakumo was taken aback and said with some confusion, "Eh? Ran, why did you throw away your favorite fried tofu?"

"I...I...I just had a bit of a shaky hand...Lord Zi! I didn't mean to forget!"

After Yukari Yakumo turned her head away, Ran Yakumo looked at the fried tofu on the ground and forced herself to eat the last two pieces of fried tofu while suppressing her heartache.

Yuuko Ichihara and the others looked helpless. Goodness, what a pitiful shikigami! Yukari Yakumo coughed lightly and said, "Manager! Manager! We have something to tell you!"

Yuko Ichihara smiled and said, "What? You've set a date?"

Yakumo Yukari's eyes twitched and her face flushed as she said, "This is our first date! We need to plan this out properly! I have something else important to say right now!"

Bai Yu asked in confusion, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Ahem, we'll be bringing a few people over in six days. Manager, I hope you can prepare accordingly."

Bai Yu was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Is it difficult to deal with?"

"Um... I remember Xiao Qiong is really good at games, right?"

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "That's true, and Riven and the others are all very good. Everyone has their own specialty games. Xiao Qiong's team has a really high-end setup."

Yukari Yakumo nodded and said, "Hmm! Very good, that solves one problem! Hey, Manager, you can do it... you definitely can do it, it doesn't seem like you're under much pressure, Manager! We look forward to your excellent performance!"

Bai Yu sighed and said, "I have a feeling you're trying to trick me. But if there are a lot of you, are you planning to have hot pot? Or will you each order your own?"

Yukari Yakumo thought for a moment and said, "Um... Yuuka, can you eat hot pot?"

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "Just because I love flower cakes and pastries doesn't mean I can only eat those. Is your head full of thoughts about dates?"

"We...we didn't!"

Kazami Yuuka didn't say anything either. After thinking for a while, Yakumo Yukari turned her head to look at Shiroha. She opened her mouth to speak but suddenly stopped, turned her head and drank the wine in her cup in one gulp.

Bai Yu glanced at Yakumo Yukari with some confusion, then looked at Ichihara Yuuko and Lucifer, who both shook their heads, indicating they didn't know what this great youkai was thinking.

Chapter 769 Yakumo Yukari's Date, Everything Goes Smoothly (Please Subscribe~)

In the end, not a single customer came to Bai Yu's shop. Sha Qi felt that Bai Yu's level was too high, and such a temperament was something that they, as late-night chefs, could not compare to.

Just as Bai Yu was about to send a message to Izumi Sagiri to ask how she was doing, the phone suddenly rang. Bai Yu hesitated for a moment before answering it.

"Hmm? Is there something you need, Asuna?"

"Oh, okay, that's fine. What time are you coming?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll get ready."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In a sense, I always feel that Asuna is a bit busy."

Lucifer was taken aback and said in confusion, "Huh? Is Asuna on duty again? That's too ridiculous! How many people are there in her class anyway!"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "Asuna isn't coming in the morning. Her family is having their water and electricity lines inspected today, so she's coming to pick up some takeout in the evening."

Lucifer nodded in realization. Just as Saki was about to speak, Cerberus ran down and took off successfully again. However, this time he saw Saki, so he didn't call her "master" again.

As for Cerberus, she preferred to call him "master." Yakumo Yukari and the others stood up to leave, but before leaving, Yakumo Yukari paused at the door.

"Mr. Store Manager..."

Bai Yu was taken aback. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, he saw Yakumo Yukari not turn her head, but just say softly with her back to him, "Manager, let's go on a date in seven days!"

Bai Yu and the others were taken aback. Yakumo Yukari said softly, "The day after the dinner... that's it, let's go back."

After saying that, he disappeared. Cerberus looked up at Shiraha with a puzzled expression. Ichihara Yuuko smiled and said, "Is Yuki just shy?"

Lucifer nodded and said irritably, "He's clearly an idiot, but he insists on making himself look like he's going to his death."

Cerberus didn't speak, his eyes darted around but he didn't show any further reaction. Lucifer glanced at Cerberus, and for some reason, Lucifer sensed that Cerberus was about to do something.

"Good morning, Brother Baiyu..."

Kasugano Sora woke up unusually early today, which surprised everyone. Cerberus said blankly, "Sora is up so early!"

"Hmm? It's alright. I was just falling asleep when I suddenly remembered how to pass that level of the game, and then I couldn't fall back asleep. After washing up, I went downstairs."

Lucifer said irritably, "If you could put that energy into studying, homework wouldn't be such a headache."

Kasugano Sora sighed and said, "Actually, I think about what I learned that day every night before I go to sleep. I'm very hardworking."

Yuuko Ichihara was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I didn't realize that. But Sora, you don't have enough rest time, do you? Don't you play games after finishing your homework?"

"If I know Xiaoqiong correctly... Xiaoqiong is probably lying in bed thinking about what she learned today to help her fall asleep, right?"
