People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"The spring water, which had just melted and was still very cold, flowed through the mountains. We stood on the cliff chatting and waiting. Then, at a certain moment, we looked up and saw a sky full of stars and the aurora borealis."

"Find a local open-air hot spring resort, order a bottle of red wine and some snacks, lean against the pool wall, and you can see this view just by looking up. After that, leisurely enjoy a sauna, massage, beauty treatment, and aromatherapy..."

"Perhaps soaking in a hot spring like this would be better."

Lucifer and the others imagined it for a moment, but Yuuko Ichihara slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "This project is a must! What else is there besides this?"

"You can also see whales, go deep-sea fishing, there are many things you can do, are you interested?"

"Extremely interested!"

Bai Yu smiled and said gently, "Then we can go and take a look. August is the best time to go, November or December is also good. Generally speaking, we should avoid going in the middle of summer."

"So, the possibility of going there last... suddenly I feel a bit excited about it..."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe if we're lucky, we can find ambergris."

"Ambergris?!"

Lucifer asked in confusion, "What is ambergris? What does it have to do with dragons?"

"In fact, there is absolutely no connection; ambergris is simply whale excrement..."

"Huh?" xn

Eirin Yagokoro was also taken aback and said, "I only knew that ambergris had medicinal value, but is ambergris really that kind of thing? It smells good? Is it real or fake?"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Pretty much, but the best quality ambergris needs to be washed and soaked in seawater for who knows how many years. It will have a unique fragrance and is one of the top-grade spices. Moreover, only the ambergris from whales that have died naturally is good. If it is from whales that have been hunted, it will not be of good quality."

"Huh?! I still can't imagine what it smells like... But top-quality spices... must be very expensive!"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Yes, ambergris is sold by the gram. Most of what's on the market is fake. The genuine stuff you find is of inferior quality. Authentic ambergris is extremely rare and is collected by collectors. It's more expensive than gold, and there's no market for it."

"More expensive than gold?!"

Reimu immediately became interested, and Bai Yu smiled and said, "Yes, many fishermen make a lot of money these days. If they're lucky enough to catch a bluefin tuna, they can make tens of millions or even hundreds of millions."

"There are also many other rare fish, pearls, and the like. Sometimes there are big harvests, and one trip to sea can earn hundreds of thousands or millions. Those that are transported by sea can earn even more, but the fuel costs are also very high. And if there is an accident, the worst result is losing both life and money, and going bankrupt."

Reimu swallowed hard and said, "I suddenly want to conquer the sea, not because of money, but because I want to pursue the thrill of such risks."

Yakumo Yukari and the others rolled their eyes. Shiraha laughed and said, "A ship costs a lot of money, and it will be at sea for a long time, so you should give up on this idea."

"Okay... Oh right, I just remembered something. Have Suika and Yuugi been here?"

Yukari Yakumo paused for a moment before shaking her head and saying, "No... Huh? That's strange. I just realized why neither of them came over."

Suika Ibuki is alright, she's always appearing and disappearing mysteriously, but Yuugi Hoshiguma is different. Yuugi Hoshiguma said he was going to pursue Shiraha, but there's still no sign of it.

Yuugi Hoshiguma isn't the kind of person who talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk, and while she's quite outgoing, she's not stupid either, so it's completely impossible to know what she's thinking.

You should know that Hoshiguma Yuugi is a very difficult person to deal with. Her supernatural strength is no joke. It's not comparable to Tsunade's superhuman strength technique. So if Hoshiguma Yuugi starts causing trouble, it will be really difficult to handle.

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "I can't do anything about this. I don't know Yongyi very well either, so you'll have to solve this yourselves."

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "The problem lies in this matter. In fact, not many people really know her, and what's more, she said at the previous banquet that she wanted to pursue you, so her true intentions are even more unknown."

Marisa sighed and said, "That's right, there's really no way to figure out what she's thinking, but she doesn't have any bad intentions..."

Reimu said softly, "Isn't she your friend? Don't you know what she's thinking?"

"I don't know... Yuuka said it herself, this is a special case. I guess no one except Suika knows what she's thinking. Maybe those two are drinking somewhere right now."

"Hmm...that makes sense..."

Chapter 253 The Female Prisoner Returns: I Need to Use the Toilet (Please Subscribe~)

While they were chatting, at another hot spring, Hoshiguma Yuugi downed his sake in one gulp before laughing and saying, "Hahaha! They must be wondering why I didn't go to the shop."

Suika Ibuki sighed and said, "You're really going to do something outrageous. Are you really going to pursue Mr. Shiraha?"

Do I look like the kind of person who confesses their feelings casually?

"Why? Don't tell me it's love at first sight."

"Maybe it really is love at first sight... You don't have any feelings for me, why are you asking so many details?"

"Because there are so few ghosts, I naturally care a lot about what you think. I don't know why, but I suddenly realized that I don't really understand you."

Yuugi Hoshiguma sighed and said, "As a woman, it's better to have a little mystery about you, isn't it..."

After a moment of stunned silence, Ibuki Suika said with a strange expression, "How could you say something like that? To be honest, you scared me. What are you thinking? You can't even tell me?"

Hoshiguma Yuugi tilted her head and said, "You'll tell anyone?"

"will not!"

"The demon race never lies."

Ibuki Suika nodded, and Hoshiguma Yuugi grinned and whispered something in Ibuki Suika's ear. After a long while, Ibuki Suika said with a strange look, "Huh? You're being ridiculous. Is it true? I'm not very well-educated, so don't lie to me."

"The demons never lie."

Suika Ibuki sighed and said, "If Murasaki and the others find out, you'll probably be driven crazy by their annoyance."

"Huh? No, no, it's not that outrageous."

"Any more wine?"

"You think you can lack alcohol here? You must be kidding me!"

"Full!"

As they chatted about topics that Yakumo Yukari and the others found interesting, the sky gradually turned into daylight. That night, only one guest from another world arrived—a guest from another world that none of them had expected.

It was the same female prisoner with colorful ends to her pigtails again, but this time she was there to use the restroom. Yes, that's right, she was there to use the restroom.

Lucifer and the others were stunned. The situation was roughly as follows...

"We've already booked a freediving trip with Baiyu! Those who can't swim can forget about it! Hey, Baiyu, when we're traveling and everyone's gathered together, are there any freediving spots nearby?"

"I don't know, probably not. I have my own criteria for freediving."

"Bai Yu! You promised! You'd take us freediving! We're taking the spot!"

"I understand, Yonglin, you..."

“We’ve considered everything so thoroughly. For safety and other reasons, we’re taking Yonglin with us.”

Eirin Yagokoro nodded without saying a word, her attitude resolute. Shiraha thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, that works too. Yuuko, what do you want to say?"

"Me too...wait, what's with guests from another world at this hour?"

Before Ichihara Yuuko could finish speaking, the shop door lit up briefly. Yakumo Yukari and the others looked puzzled and hadn't even realized what was happening when the shop door opened.

A person wearing a white prison uniform, with messy hair and makeup, and who could be seen not having taken good care of their hair in a long time, had white hair tied into two pigtails with colorful ends, giving off a unique sense of unrestrainedness and unpredictability.

Whether it was from hunger or something else, she was very thin, ridiculously thin, but she had a unique charm. Yuuko Ichihara and the others didn't recognize her, but Lucifer said with a strange look, "Huh? You've come."

"Oh! Thank goodness, I've come to the right place, Queen Lucifer! It's been a long time! Although I don't know how long it has been, because I don't have a calendar."

Lucifer's eye twitched as he said, "You broke down the door again?"

"No, no, no, I opened the door myself. Those stupid guards completely ignored me, apparently because the water pipe burst. They were really dumb."

"You mean the guard?"

I was referring to the water pipes.

"what?"

"Oh, don't you guys find this joke funny?"

Yukari Yakumo and the others were all stunned for a moment. Was it because they were from the East that they couldn't understand Western humor? But... Lucifer didn't react at all!

The woman paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Okay, this might not be very funny. I often tell myself jokes like this, otherwise I'd quietly go crazy."

Eirin Yagokoro and the others were stunned. Was she mentally normal or not? If she was normal, it would be too outrageous. If she wasn't normal, her thinking was very sharp, so it could only be said that she was very strange.

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "Let me guess, you didn't go crazy because of An Jing..."

The woman paused for a moment, then gave a charming smile and said, "It's you again! Handsome young man, are you trying to get my attention? Well, you've succeeded. You've made my heart flutter just with that handsome face. If it's not An Jing, then what is it?"

"boring..."

The woman paused for a moment, then fell silent. After a long while, she shrugged and said, "Yes, you're right, that's exactly right... You're such a clever little devil, you'll drive a lot of women crazy."

Bai Yu simply chuckled and said softly, "I'll take that as a compliment."

"That's definitely a compliment, hey! You know what? If I were a brave woman, I would pursue you without hesitation!"

"I really can't see sincerity in your eyes. I can only say that you've figured out some things and you just want to vent your feelings."

The woman's smile froze before she said in a deep voice, "You really are a terrifying man. No wonder you can win the heart of a demon."

Bai Yu asked gently, "Would you like something to eat?"

After a moment of contemplation, the woman said softly, "Actually, I came here to use the toilet because the water pipe burst."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Even Patchouli was taken aback and wondered if she had misheard. During this period, some people came to study, some came and left, and some came but didn't eat or talk and just sat there. But this was the first time someone had come to use the toilet.

Chapter 254 A pitiful woman, only she knows the truth (Please subscribe~)

Bai Yu paused for a moment before shaking his head with a smile. The woman hesitated for a second and said, "Isn't there a restroom? That's impossible, isn't it? Queen Lucifer, don't you use the restroom?"

Lucifer paused for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "No need, because the food we eat will turn into magic and stamina, so there's no need to go to the toilet."

"Oh! This is so convenient! But buddy! Is there really no toilet?"

"Yes, they have tissues and stuff over there."

The woman smiled and said, "Thank you!"

The woman then ran to the restroom. Yakumo Yukari's lips twitched as she said, "Who is this person? She seems very strange. Do you know her, Lucie?"

"I know her, but I don't know her name. All I know is that she's a pitiful woman."

"Pitiful?"

Lucifer nodded and said, "That's right, she's pitiful. She was originally a psychiatrist, but she was attracted to a mental patient while she was taking care of him. As a result, after various things happened, she became the somewhat crazy but still rational person she is now."

"Over the years, that man never touched her, as if she were some kind of evil spirit. He just made her do things every day. The whole city became chaotic and crazy under their control, but she felt that her value was recognized, her love was recognized, and she even looked forward to the future."

"Ultimately, due to an accident, she was caught and imprisoned, while the man escaped, so..."

Remilia paused for a moment and said, "This isn't love, it's just a relationship based on exploitation. Maybe that man has feelings for this woman, but someone like him doesn't need love. Feelings are just a constraint for him, a poison that makes him numb."

Yukari Yakumo nodded and said, "That's right. The future of such a person is not to settle down and start a family. He needs a so-called righteous person to stand up and fight against him. That kind of fight is the meaning of his existence."

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "That's right, just like she said earlier. She goes crazy from boredom. If nothing unexpected happens, that man craves this kind of confrontation. Without this confrontation, without a way for him to spread his madness, he will also go crazy and lose his reason for existence."

Lucifer sighed and said, "You've seen Yuuka too, haven't you? Pander said that this isn't love. Her expectations will only push her into the abyss in the end. It's not wrong to love someone, but loving someone you can't have love for is a woman's greatest tragedy."

Yukari Yakumo and the others nodded. Shiraha smiled and said gently, "Whether it's tragic or not, at least it's a relationship, so she won't have any regrets in her future life. No matter what this relationship is like, outsiders can never say anything..."

Just as Izayoi Sakuya was about to say something, she saw the bathroom door open. A few drops of water dripped down the woman's cheek. The woman rubbed her hands together and stared at Yakumo Yukari and the others for a moment.

"Huh? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Hong Meiling hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your face..."

"Hmm? I washed my face. Is that jade? It's so luxurious. I've never seen such a luxurious bathroom before. I didn't realize you were such a rich and handsome guy."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Don't I look like it?"

"Before, I could only tell that he was tall and handsome, but rich... You know, I like sandwiches from a street corner store. Slightly charred bread, two spicy pickles, two runny fried eggs, a little bit of bacon, and some cheese that's about to expire. To be honest, it smells a bit bad."

"Then there was mayonnaise, lots and lots of mayonnaise, I knew it was watered down! And hot sauce and salad dressing, that hot sauce made you want to buy a bottle of nearly expired soda from him! But he underestimated me, I always asked him to add extra hot sauce, and you could tell from his eyes that only the hot sauce was undiluted! Haha! I made a profit!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "This sandwich should be very satisfying to take a bite of."

"Hey! How did you know! Oh! You know me so well... But your sandwiches are way better than his! You're a handsome, considerate guy who understands women, can make super delicious sandwiches, and is rich too! Oh! Why didn't I meet you sooner!"

The woman's half-truthful tone made it impossible to tell whether she was telling the truth, not even Lucifer and the others. Perhaps the only one who could talk to her now was Bai Yu, the one who had been "chosen".

Bai Yu said gently, "If possible, I hope that more people can have fewer regrets like this."

"why?"

"Because only you know whether your heart aches or you feel lost."
