People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Oh... I think I know. So, you're planning to contact her soon and have her come over?"

Lucifer nodded and said, "Yeah, who knows when Michael will conduct a surprise inspection? That guy is very efficient. At least before Christmas, I don't want to get involved with her. It would disrupt the known rhythm too much."

"Won't Christmas be disrupted? We still have holidays at home."

"My husband will definitely adjust the opening and closing times of the door. If everything is outside, he can just search it and solve the problem. Besides, if Azazel handles it, no matter how emotional Michael is, he won't do anything. And how much temper can she have on Christmas?"

"That's true... So how do you talk to her to keep her calm? Do you expect her to come here?"

Lucifer shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I plan to tell her to keep it a secret for now, and then come to WGO to find us in a month. Once we meet, we can keep her calm, since she's quite naive and easy to fool."

Yuuko Ichihara glanced at Lucifer with some disdain, but still said with some doubt, "That's true... but... can she listen to you? You're a devil, she's an angel. You can't just tell her not to talk and she won't?"

Lucifer sighed and said, "That's why I've been thinking about how to write it, and I just figured it out."

"How to say?"

“Just tell her that we’re on a business trip right now, and you can keep an eye on the Undead Servants while you’re at it. We’re not interested in corrupting the human world. And then… if Michael and the others ask, just say it’s the same as always. As payment, I’ll send you an invitation later.”

"There are many earth-shattering secrets and many interesting people. Food and lodging are provided, and every meal is delicious. If you want to study, there are countless topics to choose from. Also, Michael will come to see you in a while."

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "It's quite comprehensive, but it feels like something's missing... something's a bit strange."

"As expected of my sister... I felt the same way. I felt like something was missing, but I thought about what it was for a long time, which is why I didn't send it to her."

After thinking for a moment, Yuko Ichihara clapped her hands and said, "Lucy! You forgot to tell her! She's also connected to Beelzebub!"

"Oh! Right! I knew I'd forgotten something! I forgot to mention Beelzebub. That way, that girl definitely wouldn't dare to say anything out of line. She knows I locked Beelzebub up, and that it's related to Beelzebub, which means a lot! Yuuko! You're amazing!"

"I'm a wise woman, okay?"

Lucifer said irritably, "You're getting all worked up just because I called you fat. Fine, I'll finish writing and send it over... Okay!"

This was the first time Yuko Ichihara had ever seen Lucifer and the others use such a communication magic. The next moment, the paper spontaneously combusted, leaving not a trace of ash or smoke, as if nothing had ever existed.

"This is truly interesting magic..."

"Want to learn? Shall I teach you?"

"No interest. Besides my sisters, I've only contacted my husband, so learning this is completely useless. I won't learn it. Besides, it would be so embarrassing to learn magic from you..."

"Huh?! I'm the Queen of Hell! How is it shameful to learn magic from me?!"

"Because you're a tsundere."

"I'm not tsundere! I'm arrogant! Arrogant!"

"Even Kaguya doesn't believe that."

"I'm not! I'm not!"

Yuuko Ichihara looked at Lucifer, whose face was flushed and who was flustered as he explained, and smirked as she ruffled Lucifer's hair. Lucifer was stunned for a moment and said, "Why are you ruffling my hair? Do you believe me if I hit you?"

"Huh? Isn't your husband usually quite effective? So, Lucy! If you want to be cute, Yuuko-neechan is fine too! Come on! Cry if you want, my tsundere little queen!"

Lucifer's face flushed crimson. He stared at Yuuko Ichihara, who had fled in a flash, and after a long pause, clenched his fist and shouted, "Yuuko! You stop right there! Let me show you the Queen's wrath!"

Lucifer never managed to catch up with Ichihara Yuko. There was nothing he could do; he lost because of her long legs. Once Ichihara Yuko ran into the kitchen, there was nothing Lucifer could do, no matter how resentful he was.

She couldn't very well tell them what had happened, or Yukari Yakumo and the others would laugh her to death. But Lucifer would remember this debt.

However, if Yukari Yakumo and the others heard this, they would definitely say in unison, "Your Majesty, how many accounts have you kept in your little notebook?"

"Alice, you've made great progress lately!"

Alice sighed and said, "We're still far from it. We're still a long way from Sister Saki."

Hearing this, Shaqi raised an eyebrow, put down her chopsticks, and said, "Wait, say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."

"Um... I mean, there's also Griffia and Sakuya, their cooking skills are amazing too, didn't you say so, Saki-nee...?"

Sachi said irritably, "That's true, but with your current strength, you think you can surpass me... even with a dragon's gall, you still have a long way to go."

"So I said, about the previous one... wait? How can this be related to me?! I've already graduated, and I'm a full-time housewife now, okay? It's already a gift that I can still make progress."

Soryuin Shion sighed and said, "What you said... actually makes a lot of sense. But it's a pity. If you had stayed in the profession of chef, you would have had a very bright future with your second seat in the Elite Ten."

Kobayashi Rindou propped his chin on his hand and said, "Huh? Become a chef? Open your own restaurant? You're kidding. My family is a WGO (World Gospel Club). Opening a restaurant is too boring. Besides, my husband is the best chef. It's pointless and he's too busy. I don't want to not have time to spend with my child in the future."

"Different people have different ideas. I won't give up my cooking skills. I've improved, I just don't run a shop. But if I really need to prepare a dish, the second seat of the Elite Ten will still be the second seat of the Elite Ten. There's no doubt about that."

Rantabi nodded and said, "That makes a lot of sense. My husband owns a restaurant, and restaurants don't have holidays and are always very busy. Why don't you learn from Saki? Saki wants to be a chef at WGO. After passing the exam, she can hold a position and not have to work as much as she wants..."

"No, I've already decided to be a full-time housewife. Besides, Yuko and the others are going to start their own clothing brand and stuff. If you plan too much, you should always have other options in life."

Harley Quinn thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but... something feels a little off... Oh right, I haven't asked you yet, Alice."

"Ah? What's the matter?"

"Did your fall selection process start when you went back to school?"

"Yes, we'll start when we get back. We'll only have one day."

Harley Quinn suddenly realized and said, "Oh, so, all your exam questions and such are released on the same day?"

Upon hearing this, Zdradar nodded and said, "I think so. Otherwise, it would be quite unusual that Alice and Hisako haven't practiced any corresponding dishes."

Upon hearing this, Kobayashi Rindou and Akane Kubo Momo exchanged a puzzled look. They remembered that their year's preliminary round questions were given before summer vacation. Could this be the difference?

Nakiri Managi, the undisputed heiress of Totsuki Academy, scratched her head and said, "Eh? Is that so? Is this how the Autumn Election is now? When I was in school, the participants and preliminary exam questions were determined before summer vacation... But this is more sudden and more challenging, isn't it?"

Momoko Akane nodded and said, "Indeed, it's more difficult this way, but... Momoko and Gentian's class were told in advance. Momoko still remembers that the test question was... soup, right, Gentian."

"Hmm...that's right...hey, I accidentally got a 98."

"Hmm...it's three points more than Little Peach..."

"After all, you specialize in desserts!"

"I remember... in Saiba-senpai's year... the preliminary round question was supposedly... mutton, I think... Hey? Erina, why aren't you three saying anything?"

Lucifer and the others didn't join in the commotion, because there really wasn't much to say. Kobayashi Rindou and the others were clearly strong, and they even gave a brief explanation.

Erina swallowed hard and looked away. Alice and Hisako also kept their heads down and didn't say anything. Masayoshi said with some doubt, "Hey, you guys are acting a bit strange. If you have any difficulties, just say so. If your husband won't tell you, ask Grayfia and the other two."

"Yes!" xn (

"curry..."

"Huh?" xn

Garuda said with some confusion, "Curry? Hmm? Nobody's preparing curry, so what does it have to do with curry?"

Vermouth raised an eyebrow and said, "Wait... I think I've thought of a possibility..."

Harley Quinn and Kirari, those clever girls, instantly realized something and stared at the three of them in disbelief. Yumiko stammered, "My goodness... you didn't know your preliminary topic before summer vacation either, and it was curry, right..."

"Hmm..." x3

Silence fell over everyone, even Orange and Kaguya-hime. They had been there for a long time and knew what the Autumn Selection was and how important it was to Alice and Hisako, especially Alice.

"Huh?!" xn

Lucifer retorted irritably, "Huh?! You guys still have the leisure to slack off every day?! Half of summer vacation is already over! Haven't you made any preparations at all?!"

Chifuyu Orimura said with a hint of helplessness, "Alice is one thing, but Hisako, how could you forget her?"

Pande sighed and said, "The most outrageous thing is that even Erina, one of the Elite Ten who participated in the Autumn Election, forgot... You three, really..."

Yoru no Mori said with some hope, "Maybe...maybe they've already made up their minds? Right, Alice, Hisako?"

"Hmm..." x2

"Sigh..."

Chapter 643 The Interesting Curry Queen, Alice's Confidence (Please Subscribe~)

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became strange. Bai Yu was unaffected, but Alice panicked instantly, saying anxiously, "What do we do! Hisako! Do you have any ideas?"

Hisako shook her head blankly, still not having reacted. Only one thought filled her mind: "I'm doomed! I forgot about the Autumn Election! Everyone keeps talking about the Autumn Election, how could I forget about the preliminary rounds?!"

Shinononozuka, propping her chin on her hand, said, "Don't worry too much, Alice and Hisako. Aren't you two top students in the school? It's just a preliminary round, what's there to worry about?"

Kobayashi Rindou nodded and said, "That's right. Although your generation is considered a golden age,... you two are not so bad that you can't even get past the preliminaries. Don't worry."

Alice clenched her fist and shouted, "How can they be the same! If that's really the case, we won't be able to pass our own standards if we can't produce some truly amazing works!"

Tianyu Zhanzhan narrowed his eyes and said, "You know very well too, so how could you two forget?"

“Uh…”

Yumiko sighed and said, "Forget it, you should use that time to think about what dishes to prepare. After all, you only have a month left. Although it's not very difficult for you, you've set high standards for yourselves..."

"Hmm..." x2

Erina thought for a moment and said, "Alice, you only need to get into the top eight in the preliminaries. I've done the calculations, so I'll exclude the two of you."

"Kurokiba Ryo, Hayama Akira, Yukihira Soma, the older of the Aldini brothers, Hojo Miyoko who has pretty good grades, and then there's Sadazuka Nao... If we look at it this way, the fluctuation in grades won't exceed four people."

"It's confirmed that Nao Satsuka is no match for Hisako, so you don't need to worry too much."

Everyone nodded, but Alice didn't listen. She just propped her face up and seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, she raised an eyebrow and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

Yukari Yakumo said with a smile, "Judging from your expression, you figured it out? No wonder you're a top student with the potential to become one of the Ten Masters."

"Hey... I've thought of two dishes, but I don't know their exact effects yet. I'll need to research them further later. Hisako, don't rush, just take your time thinking about them. After all, this is curry!"

Alice emphasized the word "curry," which startled Hisako. Saki chuckled and said, "To be able to say that, it seems you haven't just been playing around, Alice."

"Hey... honey, I won't let you down!"

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's just a position among the Ten Outstanding Individuals. Do you think Longdan and Xiaotao care about this position?"

Momoko Akane shook her head and said, "After leaving school, the title of Elite Ten has become less and less meaningful to Momoko. You all saw what happened to Rindou; you're not even interested in him anymore. Erina is just obsessed with proving herself because she's only a first-year high school student."

"Hmm...more or less. Oh right, there's something I need to mention. I only remembered it when we were talking about the qualifiers."

"What?"

Erina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you know about HUB Company?"

Upon hearing this, Lucifer and the others certainly didn't know, let alone those from the other world, but apart from Benio Yonomori, almost everyone else nodded.

Yuko Ichihara asked with some confusion, "Huh? What is this company? Companies with names using English letters seem to be quite sophisticated. What do they do?"

Soryuin Shion put down her chopsticks, nodded, and said, "It's really unbelievable. Of course, it's not that this company is very powerful. It's a Japanese company that specializes in producing curry products. It has almost formed a monopoly in the curry market. Its market value is now over 200 billion yen, and it's far from reaching its limit."

Zdelada tilted his head and said, "That's it? Although it's impressive to achieve a monopoly in a field, only two hundred million... that's a bit low for big bosses like you."

Kirari shook her head and said, "That's true, but this company isn't inherited; it's the first generation. In other words, it was built from scratch by twin sisters known as the 'Curry Queens.' Two women building a multi-billion dollar business empire from nothing—that's no small feat, and that's the key..."

Nami exclaimed, "That's really impressive! But with its current scale, it must be quite old."

"That's the key point. The older sister is not even thirty years old, and what's most outrageous is that this company is completely, completely, completely clean, without any violations or irregularities."

"Two beautiful women supported a business empire. It's a miracle they weren't completely devoured. They have no scandals, their company is clean, and they built their business from scratch. They achieved a monopolistic position in their prime. That's quite impressive."

Everyone nodded blankly. If that's the case, she really is a superwoman among superwomen. Yoru no Mori Kokoro also nodded and said, "You can still see their company's instant curry products in the supermarket now. They taste pretty good. Many people have their curry in their refrigerators."

Nakiri Managi nodded and said, "I've looked at the information. It's a good company, and they're also in the food and beverage business. However, WGO isn't finished yet, so I haven't contacted them. What's up?"

Erina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I shouldn't have told Alice and Hisako about 2.4 now, but I think it's okay. This time, the preliminary rounds are divided into two regions, with thirty people in each region and three judges in each region. Among these six judges, Isshiki-senpai and the others invited these two sisters."

"Huh?!" xn

Soryuin Shion chuckled and said, "That's interesting. Although HUB is still too young in the eyes of us entrepreneurs, it's already pretty good. Managi, don't you have any thoughts?"

"This really is a business opportunity...exchanging overseas markets for domestic sales and taking a cut...we can cooperate on this. An, take some time to prepare the documents and discuss the details with each other."

"Yes!"

In an instant, Nakiri Managi thought of many collaborative projects. A market value of 200 billion yen would be terrifying for most people, but it was still too young for Nakiri Managi and the monster companies of Kengan Kai.
