People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"But what's the principle behind that? It instinctively ignores things it doesn't want to be discovered, that's really amazing... Speaking of which, I don't see Lux or Marisa, and Sona isn't here either... Not having any energizing magic is giving me a headache..."

Thinking this, Hermione slowly fell asleep. All night she was worried about how to explain what the Ancient One was like and how terrifying Tony and the others' enemies were.

As Hermione slowly fell asleep, Bai Yu, on the other side, noticed a new friend request on his phone while paying the bill. After a moment of surprise, he paid and was about to pick up his phone to check when he heard the manager say, "Mr. Bai Yu, welcome to visit us again!"

"Mmm, the sushi is delicious."

"Hahaha! Of course!"

Bai Yu wasn't really interested in looking at his phone anymore. After chatting with Kawamura for a bit, Riven, who had gone to the restroom, came back and said, "It's ready."

"Okay, then we'll be going now, Manager Kawamura."

"Great! Welcome back next time!"

"I will, after all, such authentic sushi is hard to find these days."

"Hahaha! Let's do it again!"

Even as Bai Yu and Zheng Yi left, Kawamura, the shop manager, was still waving goodbye to them at the door. He didn't go into the shop until the three of them were out of sight. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good! Business is really good today! There's even one big customer at the very end of the mealtime."

"Yes! I definitely need to have a chat with Mr. Bai Yu when I get the chance! Young people are best suited to innovate!"

"Hey! My beef!"

Chapter 230 Redefining Ordinary People: Types of Ponytails (Please Subscribe~)

Just as Kobayashi Rindou said, Justice really didn't wear sunglasses anymore. It's rare to see Justice like this. Justice's eyes are big, but they're not red like Lucifer's, but grayish-white, making them look like she's wearing colored contact lenses.

"Ouch...that's really blinding..."

Justice shielded his eyes from the sunlight before clicking his tongue. Riven whispered, "Justice, you actually look prettier without your glasses."

"Hmm? Really? Lucy and the others said I look prettier without a headband. Hey, Bai Yu, what do you think?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment before reaching out and taking off Zhengyi's headband and hair tie. Zhengyi's hair was much longer than it appeared; long white hair hung down, neither too long nor too short, reaching only to his back.

After a moment of hesitation, Zheng Yi said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... is this an answer?"

Riven's eyes lit up and she said, "Justice! Believe me! You really look even more beautiful like this!"

"Okay, okay, but just today, I feel like I've become really weird."

Riven shook her head and said, "Not surprising at all! But Justice, you really brought out both the beauty and coolness of a woman."

"Your hair isn't short even if you take off your hair tie."

Riven thought for a moment and said, "I think I'll pass. I don't like having my hair down, and a ponytail feels a bit silly..."

"Yes, you're definitely not the one with ponytails. In this respect, it has to be Fukami Nami."

"What about Tsunade? Doesn't she also wear her hair in a ponytail?"

"That's twin tails, it's completely different, okay? Single ponytail, high ponytail, twin tails and many other types of ponytails, they're all completely different things, okay?"

Riven sighed and said, "I only know regular ponytails and twin ponytails. What's a high ponytail?"

"High ponytail... um... do you know kendo?"

"I know, I watched the video before, those people practicing with bamboo swords, right?"

"Yes, but there are real swords too. Mengmeng, many female students who practice kendo have very long hair, about waist-length, and they tie it into a very high ponytail. You can find pictures online to see."

Riven nodded, checked her phone, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, he looks really dashing... Hey? Does anyone know kendo?"

Justice shook his head and said, "I don't know about swordsmanship, but I do know about sword techniques. Lucy knows them, and Mengmeng, you know them too, right?"

"Um... I think I can... but I'll need a rune greatsword."

"Is it that broken blade? I've never understood, what about the other fragments of that broken blade?"

"I figured it out myself when I used it..."

Justice paused for a moment before quickly saying, "Will you fight it yourself, or will the sword fight it itself?"

"It must have been the sword that pieced itself back together..."

"Wow! That's amazing! Show it off when you get back!"

Riven shook her head and said, "No, because if the rune greatsword is pieced together, it will be very dangerous and have terrifying sword energy, so it will not be reforged."

"Let's forget about it then. But Kawamura, the manager, was very enthusiastic, and the sushi was delicious. Hey, Shiraha, the sushi looks very simple to me. It seems like it's easy to make."

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "Do you think it's simple?"

Riven nodded and said, "It is indeed very simple. It's just making a rice ball, putting on some sashimi, and maybe adding some vinegar. It doesn't seem difficult at all."

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "If it were really that simple, sushi wouldn't be such an expensive food. You know, Japan is a major seafood-producing country, so there's no shortage of seafood. Tell me, what makes sushi so expensive?"

Riven and Justice were both taken aback. Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Sushi is not as simple as you think. Families with a tradition of making sushi have unique methods."

Justice nodded, then coughed lightly and said, "Give me my headband and hair tie."

Riven said irritably, "Justice, you really do look prettier like this."

“I know, I said this is how it is today, and I won’t go back on my word. I’m going to pack it in my bag, but I feel like I really need a baseball cap, one of those black ones.”

After handing the headband and hair tie to Zhengyi, Baiyu smiled and said, "You should have prepared a baseball cap a long time ago, but this is your first time in a movie theater, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's weird for two women to come to the movies. It makes the whole movie a little less interesting. It's strange to watch a romance movie, and a school movie? We don't have any school life here. A horror movie would be even more ridiculous. Usually, people go with their men. What would it be like for the two of us to go?"

Bai Yu sighed and said, "It's perfectly normal for two girls to go to the movies, okay..."

Justice nodded and said, "That's right, but you forgot one thing. Having a man and not having a man are different. If you don't have a man, you can go. But if you have a man, you'll definitely go with your man."

Bai Yu sighed and said, "That's a really strange viewpoint... But then again, it feels like we've overlooked something..."

"Hmm? You can forget things?"

"I'm still just an ordinary person, for now."

Justice and Riven were taken aback. After hearing about how I can't cook, how my cooking is so-so, how I'm just not off-key (barely tone-deaf), how I'm not good at fighting, and how I'm not very cunning, they were surprised.

Bai Yu finally uttered his biggest Versailles declaration: "I am an ordinary person."

Justice thought for a moment and said, "So-called ordinary people are just people who are multi-talented, handsome, have a good personality, are rich, can cook, are good at fighting, and can also make people like the Queen of Hell pursue them, and are invincible, right?"

Bai Yu paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "More or less."

Riven's lips twitched as she said, "It feels like you're persecuting ordinary people... You call this ordinary?! How are real ordinary people supposed to live?!"

"Hmm? I..."

"Stop talking. I'm going to tell Lucy and the others that you've updated your quotes again. Let's go see a movie."

"All right..."

Chapter 231 Eri Kisaki's Rest Time, Eri Kisaki's Worries (Please Subscribe~)

While everyone was busy with their own affairs, in a law firm on the other side, a woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a capable air, quietly looked at a document in her hand.

"Attorney Fei, your coffee."

Hearing this voice, Eri Kisaki finally came to her senses, sighed, took off her glasses, rubbed her temples, and said, "This case is not easy to handle."

“Attorney Fei, you don’t need to worry too much. You’ve prepared very well. At least I feel that the opponent shouldn’t be able to plead not guilty.”

Eri sighed and said, "I feel like something's not quite right. To be honest, I feel like I've overlooked something..."

"You've probably been too tired lately. Have a cup of coffee and take a break. Staring at documents all the time must be giving you a headache and making your eyes blurry."

"Thank you, Ms. Kuriyama... It's charcoal-roasted coffee."

Kuriyama Midori laughed and said, "Yes, to be honest, at first I was still debating whether to use Blue Mountain coffee, but we didn't have enough coffee beans."

"This is already very good. Hey, is there anything else going on lately?"

"No... Oh! It's just that when you went to verify the information before, your daughter called you. You don't need to call back. She just wanted to ask if you've been busy lately, and if you're not busy, she'll take some time to come and see you."

Eri Kisaki smiled as she held her coffee and said, "Ran is so thoughtful... I haven't had much time lately. There are only ten days left until my first court appearance, and I really feel like I've overlooked something fatal."

"No way...."

Eri Kisaki breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe I'm just overthinking it. Hey? Kuriyama, you've probably never been in a relationship before, right?"

Kuriyama Midori blushed, coughed lightly, and said, "No... I've never had time, and now I have even less time. I feel like I might not be able to solve this problem through blind dates until I'm twenty-seven or twenty-eight."

Eri Kisaki paused for a moment before sighing and saying, "Kuriyama, are you really going to give up on your love?"

Kuriyama Midori sighed and said, "I used to yearn for the kind of love in fairy tales, but now... there are no princes, I'm not a princess, not even dragons come to catch me, I have no castles or jewels, I might as well just focus on making money."

Eri Kisaki's lips twitched as she said, "You really are realistic... But you're right, survival comes first, sigh..."

"Attorney Fei, you don't need to worry. Hey? Attorney Fei, are you working overtime tonight?"

"I'm not working overtime anymore. I want to rest. You don't need to work overtime either. Let's both have a good rest today."

"Okay, but Attorney Fei, then we don't need to order dinner tonight."

After thinking for a moment, Fei Ying thought about it and then shook her head and said, "No, no need, I'll take care of it when I get back."

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to getting off work. It's been a long time since I got off work this early."

"You just said you wanted to make money."

"You should get some rest too. Would you like a refill?"

"No need, I need to check on the other party's situation."

Kuriyama Midori nodded and left with her coffee cup. Eri Kisaki breathed a sigh of relief before softly saying, "Let's get some takeout tonight... I'll talk to Manager Shiraha first..."

Eri Kisaki sent a message to Shiraha's social media account on her phone, but deleted it before sending it, whispering, "I don't think I need to make an appointment..."

After putting down her phone, Eri Kisaki was about to look at the opponent's case analysis when she saw Bai Yu's latest update. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "It's okay to rest for a little while... just five minutes..."

"Huh? Manager Shiraha and the others went to Kawamura Sushi... What a coincidence..."

Five minutes later...

"Does this beauty store really have so many positive reviews? I should check it out sometime..."

ten minutes later...

"Huh? Store Manager Shiraha can also play the guitar? He's really multi-talented... But that must be very attractive to girls, no wonder Sonoko is so infatuated with him."

Half an hour later...

"Huh?! Store Manager Bai Yu actually raced cars?! Why is smoke coming out of the hood?! Are those flames?! How fast was he going?!"

Two hours later...

"Freediving... looks really good! Is that a sperm whale? What luck! Who took this picture...?"

It wasn't until dusk that Eri Kisaki finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down her phone, and said, "Five minutes really flew by... Hmm? Kuriyama, what brings you here?"

"Off work? Attorney Fei, what's wrong?"

"Huh? What time is it that you're off work?"

Kuriyama Midori paused for a moment, looked at her phone, then at her watch, then at the wall clock beside her, before turning her head and saying with a strange expression, "Attorney Ki, it's almost 5:30 now."

"Huh? Huh?! It's 5:30?! It's only been five minutes!"

"Five minutes? Attorney Fei, what are you talking about? Have you been studying for so long that you've forgotten the time?"

Eri Kisaki sighed and said, "It seems I got too involved..."

"Attorney Fei, you should go home early today too."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Only after Kuriyama Midori left did Eri Kisaki breathe a sigh of relief and say softly, "Honestly, why was so much time wasted? Oh well, I guess I'll just go home now..."

After packing up her documents and belongings, Eri turned off the water and electricity and went outside. Looking at the already dusky sky, she said with a slight headache, "Really... First, I'll go to that beauty store to buy a bottle of toner, then I'll go to Manager Shiraha's shop to get dinner. That'll be it..."

Eri Kisaki never expected that she would only be looking at the updates for five minutes, but when she turned around, she found that several hours had passed, and then she realized that she hadn't done anything.

Eri Kisaki never imagined she would end up like this, but compared to Shiraha's life, she felt a strange sense of exhaustion.

"Sigh... I need to take a good rest during summer vacation..."
