People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Yukihira Joichiro said somewhat helplessly, "I don't call myself by my original name anymore. If I'm going to call someone, I should call them Yukihira-senpai or Joichiro-senpai."

Kojiro Shinomiya sat on the sofa opposite Joichiro Yukihira, put down his backpack, rubbed his forehead, and said, "Joichiro-senpai, why are you here?"

Yukihira Joichiro chuckled and said, "I was going abroad, and I happened to hear from Gin that you were also taking a flight this morning. Since I couldn't sleep anyway, I came over early. I didn't expect to actually run into you. How about it, kid?"

Shinomiya Kojiro chuckled as he rubbed his temples and said, "He's so strong you can't even see his back. It's all standard technique, but it's still incredibly delicious."

Yukihira Joichiro nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, that kid's passion for cooking is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but it's really impressive that he's so talented at such a young age, just like the old man's evaluation."

"Commander-in-Chief? What did the Commander-in-Chief say?"

"The commander-in-chief said that the kid can make the ingredients obey him and bring out the extraordinary beneath the ordinary surface of the dish."

Kojiro Shinomiya took off his glasses, nodded, and said, "You're absolutely right. Which country are you going to, Joichiro-senpai?"

"That's a secret, but you're definitely not on the same flight as me, and my flight is half an hour earlier than yours. You should have some plans for when you get back this time."

“I have a risky idea, but I feel I have to do it.”

Joichiro Yukihira nodded with a hint of satisfaction and said, "While you're young, do whatever you want. You have the time to fully realize your ideas."

"Like you, Senior Shiro Ichiro?"

"Huh? Hahaha! You can say things like that too, huh!"

"Because I'm still young..."

"Um..."

In the VIP lounge, two grown men chatted about everything under the sun, from food to any topic they could talk about, until the night slowly faded away.

Yukihira Joichiro stood up, patted Shinomiya Kojiro on the shoulder, and said, "Good luck. I hope to see you go even further when I come back next time."

"Yes, senior Shiroichiro, have a safe journey."

"You too! Well then, I'm off! Take advantage of your youth!"

Joichiro only showed Shinomiya Kojiro his broad back, and Shinomiya Kojiro chuckled and said, "What do you mean by old... Joichiro-senpai's back is still very straight..."

The lounge gradually filled up with people. Shinomiya Kojiro didn't say anything, just sat in his seat with a deep gaze, seemingly lost in thought. However, the way he tapped his fingers on the sofa armrest showed that he seemed rather impatient.

Bai Yu put down his book, looked at the sky where the night had faded, and stretched. The first rays of sunlight seemed to cooperate, shining on the street in front of him. A gentle breeze swept away the last trace of weariness and drowsiness of the people who had come out in the morning.

Just then, Bai Yu heard that rough voice shouting into the phone again. Bai Yu turned his head and saw the same irritable girl from before.

The girl merely glanced up at Bai Yu before continuing to walk forward. Bai Yu smiled and said, "She's quite an interesting girl. Looks like today is her last day off..."

Bai Yu, who was enjoying the refreshing morning air while complaining about how hard it is for students to go to school, was stunned for a moment because he saw a familiar face.

"Miss Nanami, why are you here so early?"

The person who arrived was Nanami Minami, accompanied by a girl with dark brown hair and a girl with cream-colored blonde hair. Nanami Minami smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Manager Shiraha, you can just call me Minami. My friends and I were going to buy something, and since it was a limited edition, we came out early! Oh, let me introduce you, these two are my friends, this is Hinami Aoi, and this is Yoshikawa Yuki!"

Bai Yu nodded and said with a smile, "Hmm, it seems the saying that Katagiri is known for its beautiful women is really true~"

Bai Yu's words eased the initial curiosity of Yuki and Hinami Aoi, making them feel more at ease. It seemed that Bai Yu was an easy-going shop owner, considering that he was quite tall and had a very elegant demeanor. They had been quite nervous when they met him.

Nanami Nami chuckled and scratched her head, saying, "Manager Shiraha, I knew I was coming here this morning, so I deliberately only ate a little bit for dinner."

"While I'm glad to hear you say that, irregular eating habits can cause many problems."

"Huh? Are you going to say that the team leader has a stomach problem, Manager Shiraha?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "You're right about one thing, but that's not the whole story."

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

Bai Yu turned and walked back into the shop, laughing as she said, "You'll also get fatter~ And most importantly, you'll wake up hungry in the middle of the night~"

"Eh?!" x3

Even Yoshikawa Yuki and Hinami Aoi were taken aback by these words, and then Yoshikawa Yuki burst out laughing: "Hahaha! Waking up hungry is so relatable! Fukami, this shop manager is so interesting!"

Aoi Hinami smiled and said, "Yes, she's quite interesting, and surprisingly easy to get along with!"

Nanami Fukami smiled and said, "Of course! Manager Shiraha is a really nice person! Hori also raves about him! Anyway, let's go inside and eat, I'm starving!"

"Weren't you hungry in the middle of the night?"

"Yuki! No way!"

After Bai Yu put away his teacup, Nanami Fukami and the others came in. When they saw the layout of the shop, Hinami Aoi and Yuki's eyes lit up. Bai Yu said gently, "Is there anything you would like to eat?"

This question made the three of them fall into deep thought. Anyone who was suddenly asked what they wanted to eat would not be able to answer immediately unless they had a plan in mind. This was true not only for humans, but even for the little queen Lucifer.

However, this question didn't linger for long, because Nanami Nami was hungry. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Does the manager have any recommended dishes? Fried rice is out of the question~"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "So, are you planning to eat white rice and vegetables, or put the vegetables on top of the rice?"

"What's the difference?"

"The first method is to cook the dish separately, and the second method is to cook the rice and dishes together."

After thinking carefully for a while, Nanami Fukami said, "Which one will take longer?"

"Of course, the first one is better. After all, the second one is braised, which takes a while. Have you decided?"

Nanami nods and says, "Then let's go with the first one. Aoi, Yuki, have you decided what you want to eat?"

Aoi Hinami thought for a moment and said, "I'd like something with cheese or cheesy filling, but I don't need a main dish. Could you recommend one, manager?"

Yoshikawa Yuki laughed and said, "As expected of Aoi! Eating cheese and cream cheese so early in the morning! Manager, I want ramen!"

Bai Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Hmm~ Please wait a moment. Would you like something to drink? Fukami, would you like to try that strange way of drinking it?"

Nanami Minami's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly. Hinami Aoi asked in confusion, "A strange way of drinking? What strange way of drinking?"

After Nanami Minami explained, Yoshikawa Yuki and Nanami's eyes lit up, and they both ordered the drink. Shiraha nodded and said gently, "Then please wait a moment. By the way, Minami, can you and Ms. Hinami eat spicy food?"

"No problem!" x2

After Shiraha left, Yoshikawa Yuki and Hinami Aoi began to look around at the surroundings. After a long while, Hinami Aoi chuckled and said, "This place is really nice. I never expected Hori to come here."

Yuki also said with a surprised look, "Yeah, yeah! Hori is here too? She's usually so busy that we can't even get her to come out. Why is she here?"

"Because her power went out that day, she thought of this place and came here. She talked about this shop a lot with me when she was on duty yesterday~ Hori really likes this shop~"

The two nodded, and just then they heard footsteps coming from upstairs. The three looked up and saw Cerberus running down the stairs. Since they didn't see Bai Yu, they assumed she was just walking down the stairs.

"Hmm...it's that girl from before!"

"It's you! I think your name is Cerberus or something?"

Cerberus nodded and said, "Mmm! Eh? Master...where's Shiraha?"

Yuki Yoshikawa pointed to the kitchen, and Cerberus said thank you before dashing inside. Before Aoi and the others could react, a gentle voice came from the kitchen and said, "Why are you coming in?"

"Huh? Going to Totsuki? Erina and the others want you to go?"

"Okay~ But remember not to cause trouble~ Longdan shouldn't be in class, you can go find her first after you get there, aren't you two good friends~"

"Alright, alright~ Go out first, I still need to prepare food for the guests. Are you having breakfast at the restaurant?"

The words had barely left his lips when Cerberus ran out and shouted toward the kitchen, "Hmm! Master... Bai Yu, you decide! I'll go wake Lucifer up!"

After saying that, she ran upstairs again, her energetic demeanor surprising Hinami Aoi and the others. Hinami Aoi covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Is that girl Shiraha's girlfriend?"

"I don't know, but if that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised. Manager Shiraha seems to be very popular with women. Hori told me that it seems like a lot of girls like Manager Shiraha~"

"Nami Fuka, you..."

"Yuki! I didn't!"

The three girls below were chatting and laughing, while upstairs in Lucifer's room was a completely different scene. Lucifer, with his hair all messy, looked blankly at the three Cerberus sitting on his bed.

What the heck? I was sleeping soundly when I was suddenly woken up by a hellhound. For some reason, Lucifer feels like something's off.

Lucifer rubbed his stomach, looking sleepy, and said, "Cerberus? What are you doing here? And all three of you..."

Cerberus paused for a moment and said, "Because you kept talking in your sleep, Lucifer, I didn't wake you up the first time, so the three of us ended up together!"

Lucifer was taken aback. Had she really slept that soundly? But that wasn't the key issue. The key issue was something else entirely: had she been talking in her sleep? Did she have this habit?

Lucifer asked in confusion, "Was I talking in my sleep? What did I say?"

Cerberus thought for a moment and said, "It was all in fits and starts. I only heard things like 'white feathers' and 'stinky man'..."

Lucifer blushed, buried his head in the blanket, and said, "Are you sure?"

“My hearing is excellent! But why did you say ‘master’, Lucifer?”

Lucifer immediately shrank back under the covers and said, "It's nothing! You can go now! I need to tidy up!"

Cerberus scratched his head, and the three Cerberus looked at each other before turning back into one. Cerberus shuddered and then ran away.

Lucifer grabbed his pillow, buried himself under the covers, kicked his legs a couple of times in anger, and then snorted and muttered, "You stinky man! Just thinking about him makes me angry!"

However, the bed quickly quieted down, and Lucifer didn't linger in shame and anger. She soon suppressed her emotions and headed towards the bathroom. She had specifically sent Cerberus away today; she wanted to thoroughly experiment with what she had learned online! (Lucifer: You wretched humans! How dare you lie to me!)

At this time, Kobayashi Rindou and Akane Kubo Momo arrived at Erina's place in Totsuki. For some reason, they seemed to have become addicted to staying there. Alice had also come over to sleep last night, saying that her own bed was not comfortable.

When Erina heard this, she almost had a stroke. If you're sensitive to new beds, then move your bed with you! Why did you bring luggage with you?!

Kobayashi Rindou stared blankly at Alice, who was wearing pajamas and washing up, and then asked Erina, "Huh? Why is Alice here with you?"

"Because I'm sensitive to sleeping in unfamiliar beds."

"What an exquisite reason~"

"I think so too~ What are you doing here, Gentian Sisters?"

Erina looked at Alice, who was completely treating her dorm room like her own home, and after taking a deep breath with her eyes closed, she said irritably, "We're going to pick up Cerberus. You stay in the dorm."

"I also need to go!"

"You... never mind, then hurry up!"

"Oh!"

P.S.: I'm about to get started...

Chapter 107 Lucifer's Formal Attire (Please Subscribe~)

Nanami and the other two were clearly very talkative and lively people, and Cerberus was the same. The three of them quickly started chatting with Cerberus.

The three of them also really liked the adorable Cerberus, because sometimes Cerberus would act very cute and silly, and its ears would twitch from time to time, making people want to hold it in their arms like a doll.

Yoshikawa Yuki, in particular, was practically staring intently at Cerberus's ears, while Hinami Aoi jokingly remarked, "That ear decoration would look really weird on someone else!"

Nanami and the other two imagined what it would be like for the other to wear this ear "ornament" and then burst out laughing. Cerberus rubbed his own ear, feeling quite puzzled. Why was his ear always being treated as an ornament? Did it not look real?

Just as Yoshikawa Yuki was about to speak, she saw Lucifer walking down in a suit, rubbing his ear in a rare moment of deep thought.

All three were taken aback. Nanami Nami hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ah...it's that elegant girl from that day..."

Cerberus turned to Lucifer and said, "Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer! You take so long to take a bath!"

Lucifer said irritably, "Do you think everyone is like you? Besides, there are guests around, so don't be so noisy!"

"Oh~ but why are you wearing work clothes, Lucifer?"

"Ahem! It's nothing~ I just wanted to wear it."

Lucifer thought to himself, "If I remember correctly, the internet says that people with special attributes, when wearing certain uniforms, can bring joy to their partners... Is that true...?"

In fact, even Lucifer herself was somewhat uncertain. After all, despite having lived for countless years, she was practically a blank slate when it came to matters of the heart.

Just then, a wonderfully fragrant aroma wafted out, instantly bringing the three who were still captivated by Lucifer's aura and appearance back to reality. Cerberus sniffed, then exclaimed with shining eyes, "Meat! Meat! Meat!"

Lucifer swallowed hard, pinched Cerberus's cheek, and said, "Don't get excited, that's not your food. Go sit down properly~"

"Hmm... Got it..."

Although Cerberus's master is Bai Yu, he still listens to Lucifer quite a bit, provided Bai Yu isn't around. Otherwise, who would listen to Lucifer? How embarrassing! (Lucifer: Stop yelling! Stop yelling!)

The aroma grew stronger, and Cerberus's mouth was practically watering. Nanami and the other two also looked on with anticipation. Yoshikawa Yuki swallowed hard and said, "Nami, this dish should be yours, right? It smells so good..."

Nanami Fukami said with some anticipation, "I don't know, it could also be Aoi's. But it smells so good! Huh? The smell disappeared?"
