People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "No, what I mean is, didn't Lux and the others say how they got here?"

"No."

"You just need to find a place that can be defined as a door, such as a cave, and imagine what the shop looks like at night, then you can come. You can bring your friends along."

Akali said softly, "I have no friends, and assassins don't need friends."

Lux whispered, "But don't you already have a fiancé now...?"

Akali's eyes twitched. This brat was definitely more suited to be an assassin than her. Why be a mage? She should switch to assassin! Every backstab and critical hit would be amazing.

Yuko Ichihara sighed and said, "This is really outrageous... Hey, Lucy, I'm increasingly feeling that we should have Shion's constitution checked. I really feel like she has some kind of magic."

"Huh? What magic? What are you talking about?"

Yuko Ichihara said casually, "You remember, right? Shion said that she would get married when her parents came back, so she gave Bai Yu about two years. After that time, she would have to keep an eye on Bai Yu. As you saw, there was definitely some kind of magic involved."

Lucifer said irritably, "It's just that there are more guests from another world... And Lux, you brat, you never come here easily, but when you do, you always bring me some unexpected surprises!"

Lux whispered, "I don't know either... It was just a coincidence, what could I do... Lucifer-sensei, I can control my magic better now!"

"You still have a long way to go. Just knowing how to control magic is useless. The key is how to make magic obey you. Practice hard. Your strength is not even one-tenth of what it used to be."

Lux puffed out her cheeks before running off to practice with Marisa. Marisa just shrugged; gaining Lucifer's approval in magical training was incredibly difficult.

Akali returned to her seat and, after putting on her black robe, seemed much more at ease. She was different now; she had a goal in mind.

"Lady Soraka, I will continue to travel with you."

"Hmm? Of course, but what about you, Ionia?"

"I want to take this opportunity to investigate because of Queen Lucifer..."

Lucifer waved her hand and said, "You've already defined yourself, so why call yourself Queen Lucifer? Just call me Sister."

Akali breathed a sigh of relief. Two of her three biggest worries had been resolved: Bai Yu's rejection, Lucifer and the others' emotional reactions, and how she would even begin to date—she had no idea how to do that.

But now it seems the two prerequisites have been met, but the most crucial thing is that she still doesn't know how to date! What to do? Who can she ask? Soraka? She simply said, "Follow the guidance of the stars," and that was it.

Akali coughed lightly and said, "I want to take this opportunity to investigate what kind of actions those countries have taken because of Lucifer's appearance. This is also one of the tasks that Lord Karma gave me."

Soraka nodded and said, "Okay, I understand... but this might be a long process. Can you handle it?"

“Sure, compared to assassinating those traitors and spies in Ionia, this is a much more relaxed thing, and we can directly investigate Noxus. Such an opportunity is rare.”

Soraka nodded, while Riven tentatively added, "Akali... if you want to investigate Noxus, remember, only at dusk, and you'd better be careful..."

"Hmm? Why does it have to be at dusk?"

Chapter 360 Riven's Advice and Intelligence, the Reliable Riven (Please Subscribe~)

Akali's attitude towards Riven has improved a lot. Putting aside the fact that Riven has changed, just considering their identities, there's no need for the two of them to be at odds and be careful with each other.

Akali didn't know much about Noxus, so Riven's advice was naturally very important to her. Riven thought for a moment and said, "You're not from Noxus, so you don't know. Noxus is usually heavily guarded, and judging from the current situation, Noxus will be even more heavily guarded."

"In the past, strangers might have been investigated and followed, but now, even a rat running to the city gate would probably be checked. You'd better change your appearance before going to Noxus."

Akali nodded and said, "That's no problem. Disguise and infiltration are essential skills for ninjas. But why can't it be done during the day or at night?"

Riven sighed and said, "Rumor has it that Noxus is a country protected by the army during the day. The people of Noxus are all martial, so it's too difficult for you to find out anything during the day. In addition, Noxians don't care about morality or ethics. Even if you are doing it for peace, they will still inform on you for a high reward."

"Noxus is even more dangerous at night. At this time, there are not only the army, but also the assassins in the shadows of Noxus. They are all notorious and inhuman. The most famous is the infamous Talon, the Blade of the Rider. Enemies can't even see him before he cuts their throats with a single blow."

Akali nodded and said, "I know him. Noxus has a few powerful assassins, I know that very well, but I might not lose to those guys."

“But you’re going to investigate, and you’re not familiar with Noxus. Most importantly, while it’s normal for civilians to die in Noxus, if Talon and the others die, martial law will definitely be declared, and you’ll definitely be investigated. Then you can forget about investigating.”

Akali thought for a moment and nodded. Indeed, anyone who could fight her was definitely a master, and a master would definitely attract Noxus's attention. It seemed she really needed to think about it carefully.

Riven sighed and said, "The most crucial thing isn't the assassins. Rumor has it that Swain is the current ruler of Noxus. He's rumored to have made a deal with demons and gained immense power. Noxus needs reform. If a battle breaks out, he'll know immediately, and the entire city will surround it right away."

"Moreover, there are many inhuman beings in Noxus. You remember, one of Noxus's weapons is that undead, Sion."

Akali clenched her fist and said, "I know him... I remember... that guy's swords and blades are something that a few people can't fight against."

"Yes, so far you know too little about the inhuman beings in Noxus. Noxus is definitely not that simple. Lucie also said that she sensed something in Noxus."

Lucifer nodded and said, "That's right. I can confirm that there is definitely something hidden in Noxus, and there are definitely a lot of non-human creatures in Noxus."

Riven nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. Just from what I know, there's a rumor that when I was little, I heard villagers say that you shouldn't walk alone on the street at night. Someone did that and ended up as a dried-up corpse without a trace of blood."

Akali sighed and said, "So, dusk is the safest time?"

"Yes, at that time, people would come back to relax after finishing their work, either drinking in bars or cooking. The soldiers would also be preparing to stir things up. The assassins wouldn't show up at this time, and it was the best time to investigate. However, we had to stop when the sun went down."

"I understand, but I can't ask, right?"

"Yes, you can't ask anyone. You can only listen. If you ask, you'll be reported. If people are gossiping, you can express your curiosity and chat with them. They'll laugh at you for being ignorant and tell you not to go out at night and to be careful with your precious wallet. Just don't get angry."

"Because if that happens, the Noxians will cause a ruckus, and hot-tempered people will start arguing with you or throw you out, which will attract the law enforcement team. You know, they're just waiting for this kind of thing to make extra money, so you definitely won't be able to get away easily."

Akali said softly, "So you mean... to stay silent, or if you do talk to them, you have to keep a calm mindset, right?"

"Yes, not speaking is a good option, but you'd better bring a dagger, because that way no one will try to chat you up or offer you drinks. Of course, it would be even better if you could show some murderous intent."

"In Noxus, anyone who drinks alone is either a ruthless killer, a widow who lost her husband in the war, or an officer. Even if civilians don't know each other, they can chat enthusiastically over drinks, even though they still don't recognize each other when they sober up."

Akali nodded and said, "I understand. Besides bars, where else in Noxus can I get information?"

"Hmm... Yes! There is a way for you to get information even during the day!"

"What is it?"

"In the arena, both commoners and nobles would come back to watch the show and the gladiators fight. At the most exciting time, you could chat with others because you were Lord Soraka's guard. They would be willing to tell you some information that everyone knew but outsiders did not, out of a sense of obligation."

Akali suddenly realized and said, "I understand..."

Riven thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it would be reasonable for Lady Soraka to inquire about this while treating the people of Noxus, but she still shouldn't ask the military."

Soraka and Akali both nodded, and Lucifer smiled and said, "Mengmeng, I didn't realize you were so reliable."

"I've always been reliable, it's just that you think I'm stupid. Most of the time I'm quite smart."

While sewing, Yuko Ichihara said irritably, "Yes, yes, but you're usually one of those rare cases. It's good that you're a little silly."

"I...I'm going back to sleep! Goodnight, Baiyu! Lady Soraka, and everyone else, I'm heading back now!"

Watching Riven run upstairs, Yuuko Ichihara sighed and said, "As expected, Moe is becoming more and more like a little bunny; she runs so fast."

"Are the clothes finished?"

"Yes! Done!"

Chapter 361 Serious Soraka and Akali, the Differences We Gained (Please Subscribe~)

Akali is thinking about some things right now, not just how to date, but also how to get more accurate intelligence from Zaun and Noxus, those two abnormal and crazy places.

"Mr. Bai Yu, I'd like another Coke."

“Yes, Miss Akali.”

Akali said softly, "You are the only fiancé I've chosen. Just call me Akali..."

"So why do you call Bai Yu a respectful term?"

Akali paused for a moment before nodding. After Bai Yu poured her a new Coke, Akali asked softly, "What did you mean by summer vacation? Are you going on vacation?"

"Well, probably in about a month. We'll be closing for more than a month."

Akali thought for a moment and said, "Then how do I get here?"

"You can choose to come along, or you can tell me in advance when you want to come, and I'll have Yuno come over and open the shop for a while. When you want to go back, I'll have Yuno take you back."

Akali nodded without saying anything. Tony said with some interest, "I think I should also take a break, Pepper, what do you think?"

"I think this is great! Where are you going?"

"I'm not really sure, to be honest, I want to go surfing."

"Alright, that's a good option, but you don't want to learn magic anymore?"

The Ancient One smiled and said, "Tony, you can come anytime. As you said, you need some rest now. There have been so many surprises today that it's already past midnight. I need time to find some people later, and Tony needs to rest too. Scientifically speaking, this is called..."

"Take a break from work and relax, and give your mind a break."

"Yes, everything is going well. I think we should leave now. After all, starting tomorrow, no... starting today, Tony Stark will be returning to Stark Industries."

Tony nodded and said softly, "Yes, you're right. From today onwards, Stark's master has returned!"

After exchanging pleasantries with Soraka and the others, Tony simply left a hundred dollars and departed. This price surprised the Ancient One, but after seeing Bai Yu remark that it was too much, she didn't say anything more.

It was almost dawn when Kaguya Houraisan and the others finally came downstairs. They were the homebody type and didn't care what had happened; it was no different from them playing games upstairs.

After Yukari Yakumo and the others left, Lux blinked and looked at Lucifer. Lucifer squinted and said, "What are you trying to say, little girl?"

"Um... Professor Lucifer, when will you come to Demacia again?"

Lucifer's eyes twitched, and he said irritably, "Hurry up, hurry up! If you're not going to leave, at least think about Soraka and the others!"

"Oh...Master Lucifer, I'll be going now..."

"hurry up."

Lux clearly didn't want to leave, but in the end she was dragged away anyway. As for who dragged her away, besides Fiora who would cause problems if she left late, who else could it be?

Soraka looked at Bai Yu and Lucifer and said softly, "Mrs. Lucifer, Mr. Bai Yu, I will come again, Mr. Bai Yu! I will definitely make myself better and better! Please accept my heart then!"

"Um... Good luck."

"Ok!"

Akali also said softly, "Don't worry, I won't let a second person see my face until everything is confirmed. I'll come over often."

"Um...you're welcome anytime..."

"Um....."

Soraka and Akali also left, and Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Soraka and Akali really made him feel a bit helpless.

Lucifer chuckled and nudged Bai Yu's arm with his elbow, saying with a laugh, "Hey, do you know what a headache is now?"

"Actually, it's alright... I'm just not quite sure what kind of standard Soraka is referring to when she says 'good enough'..."

Lucifer paused for a moment and said, "Hmm? Bai Yu! You really are just like those men! Interested in special life forms, aren't you! I've already figured it out!"

Bai Yu looked down at Lucifer, who stared defiantly at him. After a long while, Bai Yu poked Lucifer's cheek, causing Lucifer to blush and stomp his foot, shouting, "Bai Yu! You're bullying me again! You're definitely interested!"

"No, I was just curious."

"I don't believe you!"

"You don't believe me anymore?"

Lucifer blushed and shouted, "I don't believe it! Humph!"

Despite saying that, Lucifer still ran away without any backbone. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. But she wasn't a gentleman; she was just a woman, and a woman with endless time at that. So it wouldn't matter if she held onto this grudge for hundreds of years before taking revenge.

Bai Yu glanced at the sky outside the window and said gently, "Yuko, what do you think would happen if Natsume encountered Clow Reed again?"

Yuuko Ichihara held up the maid outfit, checking for any loose threads, and casually said, "That's inevitable. To be honest, Natsume-kun hasn't been here for a while."

Bai Yu said gently, "He must have found some good friends."

"Hmm... I think so. Gentle people are never short of friends, just like you. You have a lot of friends. You really are a man with personal charm. I have good taste."

"Your sudden self-praise caught me a bit off guard..."

"Since that cunning bespectacled guy and Natsume-kun have become friends across worlds, and since they both have regrets, they will definitely meet again. After all, they are both very strong. That guy is definitely not dead, or rather, not completely dead. They will meet again across time."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Just like you?"

Yuuko Ichihara paused for a moment before putting down her maid outfit and walking over. She gently hugged Shiraha from behind and said softly, "It's different. They crossed life and death and time to gain friendship, while I gained love and family... And I'm a witch without regrets."

Bai Yu smiled and said gently, "Witch?"

"Like it?"

Bai Yu turned around, gently kissed Yuko Ichihara on the forehead, and said softly, "Good morning, Yuko."

"Good morning~"
