People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Kasugano Sora, hugging her rabbit doll, whispered, "Rantabi-neechan... in the past month, you've crowned yourself queen more than ten times..."

"Pfft..." xn

"Um... in general, when it comes to playing cards, I've never been convinced! Come on!"

The others watched with great interest, and Jabami Yumeko said with a smile, "No, no, no, the blackjack I'm talking about isn't your average blackjack."

"Huh?" xn

Kraki asked in confusion, "Are there any other ways to play blackjack?"

Kirari tilted her head and said, "This sounds interesting, Yumeko. Tell me your rules."

"Okay! First of all, Jack, Queen, and King represent eleven, twelve, and thirteen respectively, and Ace represents one or eleven."

"Isn't this the same?" Rantab asked in confusion.

"No, no, no, let me finish. It's different from the traditional way of playing. The blackjack I'm talking about isn't just about addition. You can add, subtract, and multiply, but you can't divide."

"Huh?" xn

"However, remember your order of addition, subtraction, and multiplication. In the second round, you can't use the same order, but you can add two cards together and find a card with the same value from the deck. However, if the card is greater than ten, then you need to add an Ace. The operation symbols cannot be consecutive, but they can be separated."

"Two jokers can be treated as wild numbers, including zero, and can be discarded directly. However, you can use the same addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division order as in the previous round to get both jokers at the same time and win immediately. Do you understand?"

"By the way, you can question it, but if your questioning fails, you have to blow it up yourself."

Rantabi swallowed hard and said, "This blackjack is so complicated... but it's really interesting! Come on! Let's have someone deal the cards!"

Kirari smiled and said, "Then I'll do it, okay, Yumeko?"

"Of course."

Kirari's incredibly flashy shuffling of the cards caught everyone's attention. After each person was dealt two cards, Tsunade was still silently calculating, while Rantapy narrowed his eyes and said, "One more card!"

Okay, do you need anything else?

After calculating for a moment, Rantabi said softly, "I want... never mind, I don't want it."

After looking at them, Yumeko Jabami smiled and said, "Give me one."

Okay...do you need anything else?

"Hmm... Eighteen... One more."

"Hmm... do you need anything else?"

"One more piece."

Everyone raised an eyebrow, while Bai Yu's lips curled up slightly. Jabami Yumeko thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... one more!"

"Do you still need it?"

One more!

Tsunade and Rantabi both raised an eyebrow. What did this mean? Another round? After Jabami Yumeko drew three more cards, Tsunade finally shouted, "I question this!"

"Huh? Are we really going to question this?"

"Ok!"

Jabami Yumeko chuckled, opened the cards, and immediately began calculating them one by one. She ended up with exactly twenty-two. Tsunade laughed and said, "Trying to fool me?"

For five consecutive rounds, Yumeko Jabami lost every time. But starting from the seventh round, she didn't lose a single round, and her score was always either 20 or 21. Yumiko frowned and said, "Something's not right... I have a bad feeling about this..."

Lucifer and the others nodded. Yumeko Jabami smiled and said, "In that case... Mr. Shiraha, would you like to give it a try?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Are you sure? My eyesight is pretty good."

"Oh my, what sharp eyesight do you have?"

Bai Yu chuckled and said softly, "Finding twenty-one in a hand that's practically unbeatable... honestly, it's quite simple..."

"Eh?"

"For example...like this?"

Bai Yu revealed his two hidden cards without even looking at them, which were a three and a seven. Everyone was stunned. Qi Luoli smiled and said, "Mengzi, that's why you shouldn't challenge Bai Yu."

"Okay, okay, I've been found out. I surrender."

Rantab asked in confusion, "Aren't these new cards? How can they be rigged?"

"Of course not, Yumeko only needs to remember the positions of a few cards."

"Huh?" xn

"But if we're talking about tampering... Yumeko did it right in front of you."

"Huh?!" xn

Kirari laughed and said, "Yumeko remembered the order of your cards, and every time a card in her hand was touched up, there was a little bit of color left by Yumeko's nail polish. Yumeko, no wonder you started touching up your makeup with your nail polish first. Who taught you that?"

"And President, it's the Fool's card!"

“Interesting... You don’t need to check anymore. Not every card has it. Only cards that are easy to calculate and whose values ​​are always small will have the mark.”

“This.…”

Rantabi and the others finally found tiny red scratches on cards like 3, 2, 7, and 10. Everyone looked at Jabami Yumeko with disbelief. Goodness, you're really outrageous. Aren't you afraid of blowing it up?

Lucifer sighed and said, "You're just as outrageous as Kira."

"It's alright, mainly because I have a good memory."

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head without saying anything. Jabami Yumeko sighed and said, "What a pity, I didn't expect Mr. Bai Yu to find out after all..."

Sonoko yawned and said, "Those guys are so slow... By the way, with so many people, what are we going to eat for lunch?"

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "What to eat... that's not a very complicated question. When in doubt, hot pot is always the best option. However... because of the weather, so... Zi Yin."

"Ok?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, you should have buckwheat flour at home, right?"

"Of course, it's very low-fat, so of course I have it. Hey? What do you want to do?"

Bai Yu glanced out the window and said gently, "In summer, of course we should eat the foods that are meant for summer."

"Huh?" xn

Bai Yu didn't seem inclined to continue, but Lucifer asked in confusion, "Eh? Where's that... the dating expert? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Soryuin Shion waved her hand and said, "Those two... they'll probably be back by lunchtime. Alright, everyone go and rest. We'll talk about it at lunchtime. I bet some of them didn't sleep last night!"

Everyone nodded, and Lucifer stood up and said, "Go and pack..."

Soryuin Shion waved her hand and said, "No need. I couldn't sleep last night, so I tidied it up. It's just enough. Everyone who hasn't slept should go back and get some rest, especially Sonoko! You almost fell asleep sitting up."

Sonoko rubbed her eyes, yawned, and said, "I was just too excited last night... Anyway, I'm going to find a room to sleep for a while."

"Hey, the room with the red carpet at the entrance is our room, the rest are for you."

"Okay, okay... Haha... Brother Baiyu, I might not be able to sleep, chat with me for a bit."

Kira said irritably, "Can't sleep? It's okay, I'll chat with you."

"Um... never mind, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to take a nap..."

Sonoko made a tactical retreat. When everyone learned that Soryuin Shion had cleaned the room all night by herself, they silently gave her a thumbs up. Wow, you're really ruthless.

Soryuin Shion stretched and said, "I'm so sleepy... I'm going to rest for a while too. Shiraha, there's a phone over there. If you need any ingredients, you don't need to go out to buy them, you can just call."

"Huh? Whose call is this?"

"One family...wait a minute...Managi, aren't you going to lend a hand?"

After a moment of surprise, Nakiri Managi said, "Oh! Right, right! I almost forgot. I'll have WGO deliver it. Even though we're on holiday now, we can still have food delivered."

Zou-in Shion nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go rest. Everyone who's free should go back and get some rest so we can be refreshed. We have to set off this afternoon."

"Okay!" xn

Most people went to rest, after all, Sonoko wasn't the only one who was so excited last night that she didn't sleep. Bai Yu, however, didn't move and just sat quietly on the sofa, saying softly, "Xiao Qiong, didn't you guys say you were going to play games together?"

"Huh? Oh! Right, right, right! Orange, Jinx, Marina, Rantabi, Kaguya, Akemi, Yuno, Mashiro, let's go!"

Rantabi yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy, you guys play."

"Huh? Rantabi, you're really useless..."

"You slept soundly last night. We chatted all night, but I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. I'm going back to rest."

After everyone left, Bai Yu chuckled and said, "I didn't expect so many people to have insomnia. Yonglin, aren't you sleepy?"

Eirin Yagokoro shook her head and said, "I'm not sleepy at all, I'm actually quite energetic. But... Ran, aren't you going to rest?"

"Eh? I'm not sleepy. Lord Zi is different from me. Lord Zi sleeps during the day and comes out at night, that's why I'm like this... Lord Baiyu, why don't you take this opportunity to rest for a while? We still need to prepare lunch later..."

Lucifer chuckled and said, "Lan, you really do care about Bai Yu."

"Eh? Because it's Lord Shiraha..."

Yumiko tilted her head and said in confusion, "More than that, I'm curious why Orange and Blue, you two call Shiraha 'Lord Shiraha'?"

Yakumo Ran was stunned for a moment. How could this be explained? She was Yakumo Yukari's shikigami, so she was supposed to address Yakumo Yukari's lover as Lord Shiroha. No matter how confused she was, she couldn't possibly say it.

Eirin Yagokoro said gently, "It's probably like... a maid-like relationship... Yumiko, just think of it as the Yakumo family's respectful address for the head of the family, it's quite common, isn't it?"

"Eh? So Zi is also the head of a family."

Ran Yakumo nodded and said, "Yes, Lady Yukari is the head of the Yakumo family, but... I don't know if she still is..."

Esdeath said softly, "Because Murasaki is henpecked, right?"

"Um...."

Jabami Yumeko tilted her head and said, "Oh, no wonder your clothes are so similar. They're all the same type, and they even have animal decorations."

Lucifer casually said, "It's probably like the maids in a maid cafe, with something like animal ear headbands. Purple has a really bad sense of humor."

"Oh, I see... But they really do look like a good match."

Bai Yu smiled and said gently, "The blue tail looks very high-end. Yuko has said many times that she wants to try using it as a body pillow."

Ran Yakumo stared in disbelief at Yuuko Ichihara, who chuckled and said, "But it really does feel very high-end..."

Yakumo Ran silently shrank closer to Shiraha. Yakumo Ran felt that she was very smart. By simply running to Shiraha, she could deal with any scheming behavior from her family.

However, Yakumo Ran had clearly forgotten that Shiraha himself also had intermittently scheming behavior. Before Yakumo Ran could even breathe a sigh of relief, she sensed something and looked to the side before realizing that Shiraha had grabbed her tail at some point.

"Bai...Mr. Bai Yu?!"

"Hmm...it's very comfortable..."

"Eh?!"

Yakumo Ran sat quietly to the side, her face slightly flushed. Her tail had been grabbed. Ichihara Yuuko laughed and said, "Ran is surprisingly calm. I thought she would struggle or run away like Yuno and the others."

"Well....."

Bai Yu smiled and released Yakumo Ran's tail, saying with a smile, "Ran, you've been having a lot more free time lately, haven't you?"

"Yes, thanks to Lord Baiyu, I am much more relaxed now, and Cheng doesn't have to worry anymore."

"Hmm, how's Zi's cooking class going lately? Didn't she say she was going to show off her amazing culinary skills during the summer vacation?"

Yumiko said with some surprise, "Eh? Yukari can cook? That's unexpected."

Yakumo Ran looked at Shiraha somewhat awkwardly. Before this, Yakumo Yukari had tried to make some dishes, such as fried tofu, but... Yakumo Ran almost fainted from fright when she saw a plate of unidentified black cubes that looked like charcoal.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can probably guess it."

Yakumo Ran whispered, "Um... Lady Shiraha... Lady Yukari... uh..."

As Yakumo Ran spoke, she glanced around, her wary expression leaving Lucifer and the others speechless. Well, they'd figured it out: Yakumo Yukari was afraid of Shiraha, Yakumo Ran was afraid of Yakumo Yukari, but strangely enough, Yakumo Ran wasn't afraid of Shiraha...
