People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Thinking this way, the meeting gradually became irrelevant to her. After the ten members discussed for a while, Tsukasa Eishi said softly, "Then everyone should go back and prepare. When you find your shop, please report it to us."

After everyone dispersed, Erina gave Kobayashi Rindou a deep look before turning and leaving. Kobayashi Rindou, sitting in his chair with a slight smile, said, "Momoko~ It seems you were referring to something~ Otherwise, Princess God Tongue wouldn't be behaving so strangely~"

Momoko Akane hugged Butch and whispered, "I only mentioned that the Commander-in-Chief had his clothes ripped off by Manager Shiraha many times..."

Rindou Kobayashi nodded and was about to say something when he heard Momo Akanekubo whisper, "And they also said you're pursuing Manager Shiraha..."

The meeting room suddenly fell silent. Kobayashi Rindou, his face flushed red, jumped up and pinched Akane Kubo Momo's cheek, saying, "Momo~ It was clearly that Shiraha guy who was pursuing me! Did you hear that! I just gave him a chance!"

After breaking free from Kobayashi Rindou, Akane Momo rubbed her face and said, "Rindou cotton... be careful you don't lie and you'll never get married... but you're not wrong... you did give him a million chances..."

Kobayashi Rindou paused for a moment, then snorted and said, "Let's go, let's go back~ I'm starving~"

"Huh? Gentian Cotton, didn't you finish eating with Manager Shiraha? And you look like you're stuffed..."

Kobayashi Rindou tapped Akanekubo Momo's head and said in a knowing tone, "Hey~ Momo~ you don't understand. Have you ever seen a girl eat a lot in front of a guy she likes even a little bit?"

"Hmm~ that seems to be true, I definitely have a bit of a favorable impression..."

"Little Peach! Are you trying to get yourself killed?! We're all in this together!"

"Little Peach isn't on your side; you're a woman obsessed with love..."

"I... Ah! Let's go! Let's go cook with Gentian Sister! I'm starving!"

"Fine, I'll do it! But the gentian cotton! Little Peach, I'll say it again! Little Peach is the same age as you!"

With the departure of the two people, the conference room fell completely silent. At this moment, Erina walked into the Totsuki office and, seeing her grandfather making a phone call, did not disturb him.

"Okay, okay~ Hmm? You say you're in a good mood today? That's wonderful!"

"Alright! I'll go as soon as I'm done with work tonight! I'll bring you two new customers while I'm at it!"

"Hahaha! See you tonight!"

After hanging up the phone, Senzaemon Nakiri said to Erina, "Erina! You've come at the perfect time! Come with me to a shop tonight!"

Erina paused for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Is that the store where you lost so many clothes?"

Senzaemon Nakiri paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "It seems you already know. We'll go to that shop tonight. Erina, you'll learn things that will blow your mind..."

Erina nodded, exchanged a few words with Senzaemon Nakiri, and then left. Once outside, Erina crossed her arms, a cold smile playing on her lips, and said, "I'd like to see what kind of dish can overturn my expectations..."

I'm desperately seeking all copies of my new book!!!

Chapter Thirteen: Erina's Dissatisfaction (Please add to your favorites!!!!!)

Bai Yu was quietly reading a book on his phone downstairs. He had to admit that this book was one of the most boring light novels he had ever read, but he could feel the author's unwillingness to give up on the book, which was why Bai Yu read a little bit every day. Now he was finally almost finished reading it.

"Sigh... If the plot were even slightly more normal, the results wouldn't be this bad..."

"What are you looking at?"

Bai Yu was startled when he heard the voice, and then he remembered that he wasn't the only one in the store. There was also a Hell Queen who claimed to be studying him.

Bai Yu pointed to the novel on his phone and said, "This is the novel. Although it's not very long, you can already tell what will happen next. The author's writing style needs improvement, the characters aren't well-developed, and overall, there are many problems."

Lucifer took the phone, glanced at two pages, handed it back to Bai Yu, and said with a smile, "But you still finished reading it, didn't you?"

Bai Yu smiled faintly and said softly, "That's natural. I can feel the author's unwillingness to give up from their writing. I wish the author could continue writing."

"Huh? You've stopped writing?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said softly, "He probably couldn't handle the setback and stopped writing... It's a real shame, it's been half a month since his last update..."

Lucifer smiled and said, "It seems I should go and read this author's works..."

"Hmm? You want to see? There's a new phone in the room, in the cabinet next to the bed. Just take it and use it."

Lucifer was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Huh?"

"No need to buy one~ Each room has a new phone~ Because these rooms were originally arranged for people who were staying temporarily or had nowhere else to go~ The facilities are very complete~"

"Oh~"

Lucifer suddenly became very curious about this restaurant, because she couldn't imagine what kind of restaurant would provide this to everyone who lived there; it seemed a bit outrageous.

Lucifer went back to his room and found a new phone in the location Bai Ze had indicated. While searching for the light novel, he pondered what secrets Bai Yu's shop held.

Having something to do is much better than having nothing to do. At this moment, Bai Yu and Lucifer were each doing their own things, and time flew by.

"Hmm... almost there... let's finish watching before we go down..."

Lucifer glanced at the sky outside the window, which was gradually turning dark with night, rubbed his neck, and then continued reading the light novel. Just as mentioned before, the writing, plot, and character descriptions were terrible, but one could feel the author's earnestness—that earnestness that went from initial disdain to a relentless, unyielding determination...

Bai Yu reads a little each day, but Lucifer is very curious about what kind of books could interest Bai Yu, so he reads for a while, then switches to something else to read for a while, and then switches back to continue reading.

At Totsuki Academy, Hisako, holding a file folder, said softly, "Ms. Erina, there's a tasting event at a four-star restaurant tonight at 7:30. Now..."

Hisako was interrupted by Erina's wave before she could finish speaking. Erina crossed her arms and said sarcastically, "Hisako, all tastings today are canceled, tonight's practice is on hold, and we're going to the restaurant Grandpa mentioned today..."

"Huh? The restaurant the Commander-in-Chief mentioned?"

Erina nodded, chuckled, and said, "I'd like to see what kind of restaurant, what kind of chef, and what kind of dishes could make Grandpa say things that will blow my mind..."

Hisako, listening from the side, was also startled. Erina was the possessor of the God Tongue, and for her to find a place that defied her imagination, could such a place really exist? After all, Erina was as proud as a peacock.

"Erina! Have you been waiting long?"

"No! I just arrived too. Grandpa, you seem very tired?"

Senzaemon Nakiri got into the car and said with a smile, "Yeah! Of course! It's rare for that kid to be in a good mood. If we don't go early this time, there will be too many people and we won't be able to get a lot of things! Hahaha!"

Erina stared wide-eyed in disbelief, while Hisako covered her mouth in astonishment. The mighty Demon King of Food actually had to consider the mood of the other person when ordering food?! This would shock the culinary world if word got out.

This made Erina even more indignant. She had never heard of a chef named Shiraha who was so skilled and had no reputation whatsoever. This made her very unhappy. Such a chef should be standing in a very expensive restaurant, using his perfect skills to make priceless dishes with the finest ingredients in front of celebrities and dignitaries. That's how it should be.

Instead of hiding in a small, unknown restaurant, that would be an insult to your skills! An insult to the chef! An insult to the customers!

As the car gradually entered the alley, Senzaemon Nakiri got out, and Erina and Hisako followed. Erina nodded when she saw the bustling alley, her anger subsiding considerably. She had heard that this street was the most prosperous place.

If you look at it that way, it makes sense. Thinking of Erina, I headed towards that street, but before I'd taken two steps, I heard Senzaemon Nakiri say, "Erina! Where are you going?"

"Grandpa, let's go to that restaurant. It should be the most popular restaurant on this street."

Senzaemon Nakiri sighed and said, "No... just come with me."

Erina was stunned for a moment, then followed closely behind Senzaemon. But when she saw Senzaemon walk straight to a dark alley, Erina was dumbfounded. This place, let alone shops, didn't even have any ordinary residents!

Feeling the darkness around her, Erina shrank back towards Senzaemon with some fear. After walking for about five minutes, Erina finally saw a glimmer of light.

It was a shop without a sign, the very same restaurant where Shiraha worked. Senzaemon Nakiri sniffed it and then smiled, saying, "Hmm! It's already started!"

As he spoke, he quickened his pace slightly, with Erina and Hisako following closely behind. Seeing the light, Erina was no longer afraid. She carefully looked around and her impression of this unfamiliar Shiraha worsened.

Senzaemon Nakiri opened the door and saw two people sitting inside waiting for their food. One of them, a young man with thinning hair and a somewhat dim-witted appearance, smiled and waved at Senzaemon, saying, "Long time no see, old man~"

"Oh! Saitama! It's been so long!"

Senzaemon Nakiri sat down in his usual spot, while Erina and Hisako sat opposite him. Erina crossed her arms, looked him over carefully, and nodded.

The surrounding shops had a very nice environment, even better than some high-end restaurants, and they had a natural floral fragrance. The shops were also very cozy and clean, and she didn't expect them to be so big.

Just as Senzaemon Nakiri and Saitama were having a good chat, they saw Shiraha walking over, carrying a plate of stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers in one hand and a bowl of rice in the other.

Bai Yu placed the dishes on Saitama's table and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you two to have so much to talk about. Is this what you call a friendship despite the age gap?"

Senzaemon Nakiri smiled and said, "Of course! Saitama is one of the few outstanding young people I've ever met! By the way, this is my granddaughter, Erina Nakiri, and this is her secretary, Hisako Niito."

Bai Yu nodded, then said to Nakiri Senzaemon, "So, what would you like to order? The usual?"

Senzaemon Nakiri laughed and said, "How could I let you off so easily! We need to try something different today. You haven't been in a good mood since half a year ago, have you, Saitama!"

Just as Saitama was about to start eating, he heard Senzaemon Nakiri's words and said with a smile, "That's right! It's so rare for Manager Shiraha to openly say that he's in a good mood!"

I'm desperately seeking all copies of my new book!!!

Chapter Fourteen: Erina's Fall (Please Subscribe~)

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head. Saitama didn't say anything more, lowering his head to focus on eating his food. Nakiri Senzaemon thought for a moment and was about to speak when he heard Nakiri Erina say, "You don't even have a menu here?"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Yeah, no."

Erina gritted her teeth and said, "Then how do you want customers to order?!"

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "Is it strange? Here, I can make whatever I want to eat~"

Erina Nakiri snorted, then said softly, "You can do anything, huh?"

"Yes, that's right."

After a moment's thought, Erina Nakiri said with a playful smile, "Then I'll have bluefin tuna sashimi and a medium-rare Wagyu beef..."

When Senzaemon Nakiri heard about these two things, he just smiled and shook his head. Erina's culinary thinking was completely wrong, so it would be good for her to learn a lesson.

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Well, would you like some drinks and snacks?"

Erina originally wanted to see Shiraha look shocked and embarrassed and shout that he didn't have such high-end ingredients, so she could mock him for overestimating himself. But now it seems that he has both of those things!

Erina said in a deep voice, "Did you hear me clearly? What I want is..."

"Bluefin tuna and Wagyu beef are nothing special here. Looks like you've already ordered. What would you like to eat, sir?"

Senzaemon Nakiri thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It's rare to see you in such a good mood, so there must be eggplant fritters! That's the side dish, and for the main courses, I'll have salt-grilled pork and sukiyaki! And give me a pot of peach blossom wine! You seem to be in a good mood today~ Hahaha!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Okay~ I knew you'd say that, so I prepared the filling in advance~ So this is... Miss Shinto, right... What would you like to eat?"

Hisako paused for a moment, then thought for a second and said, "Um... how about bonito ochazuke... and some fried oysters..."

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's a very nutritious way to eat it. It's obvious you pay a lot of attention to your health~ Saitama~ Do you want some eggplant fritters?"

Saitama looked up and said, "Eh? Shiraha, you're willing to make eggplant fritters? Please give me one!"

"OK~"

Just as Shiraha was about to turn and leave, Erina said in a deep voice, "That... eggplant box? Get one for me and Hisako too!"

"Okay~"

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the kitchen. Erina looked at Bai Yu's back with a face full of displeasure. Senzaemon Nakiri said with a smile, "Erina, you seem to have a very bad impression of this kid Bai Yu?"

Erina said in a deep voice, "Of course! How could such a great chef be found in a place like this? And a restaurant that doesn't even have a menu, yet it serves bluefin tuna and Wagyu beef? Grandpa, don't you think he's bragging?!"

Senzaemon Nakiri laughed and said, "Of course not, because this kid's shop has almost every kind of ingredient! Besides, he just doesn't like crowds. If this kid went out and competed with those chefs, the culinary world would be in turmoil!"

Erina Nakiri's pupils contracted. What kind of evaluation is this?!

Saitama stared blankly at Erina, then said to Senzaemon Nakiri, "Grandpa, is this your first time bringing your granddaughter here? She's quite different from you in personality!"

Senzaemon Nakiri said with a smile, "That's why I brought this girl here to learn properly!"

Erina Nakiri remained silent throughout. Then, the sound of something frying filled the air, and the entire restaurant was instantly enveloped in a delicious aroma. Erina stared wide-eyed in disbelief; she hadn't even tasted or seen the dish yet.

Her tongue was subconsciously telling her what kind of amazing deliciousness this dish would bring her. Senzaemon Nakiri smiled to himself as he looked at Erina's shocked expression.

Erina's culinary philosophy can be described as distorted. He intends to use the dishes from this restaurant, Shiraha's dishes, to completely crush Erina's pride and flawed culinary concepts.

"Mmm~ It smells so good~ Shiraha's cooking is always so appealing."

Saitama ate his "Three Treasures of the Earth" while remarking that he was a regular customer. For him, the food here was the most delicious and the cheapest he had ever eaten, so he would come here to eat whenever he had free time.

"This is a stuffed eggplant, and you've got your wine, Grandpa. Since you two haven't ordered anything to drink, why don't you try this juice?"

After saying that, Bai Yu called upstairs, "Come down for dinner!"

Senzaemon Nakiri was taken aback. What? Kobayashi Rindou is here too? He's got too much free time!

Lucifer inside the room shouted "I understand" and then there was no further response. Senzaemon Nakiri was dumbfounded on the spot; that voice definitely wasn't Rindou Kobayashi's.

However, this was Bai Yu's private life, and he didn't want to ask about it. He skillfully cut open the eggplant box in front of him, and the meaty filling instantly won over everyone present.

"Hmm! This time it's beef! I'm in a really good mood!"

Erina swallowed hard, looking at the commoner's dish she had never seen before. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Senzaemon Nakiri put half an eggplant box into his mouth, and his clothes instantly ripped apart.

Erina and Hisako were dumbfounded. This was just a small snack to go with drinks! And a commoner's dish at that! How could it have torn apart so quickly, without even a second after being put in their mouths and chewed?! This is just too outrageous!

Senzaemon Nakiri simply stopped wearing clothes and sat there shirtless. Saitama laughed and said, "Every time I see the old man's clothes ripped, I think it's really impressive~"

"Hahaha! I'm not too old yet!"

Erina swallowed hard, staring at the eggplant box in front of her. After staring for a long time, Hisako took the first bite with a knife and then her eyes widened in disbelief. Just as Erina was about to ask a question, she saw Hisako also eat it.

Hisako then began to tremble, her face flushed, and after a long while she opened her mouth and exhaled a breath of hot air before eagerly eating the remaining half.
