People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

“Indeed, back when my husband wasn’t always running the shop, we would have to call or text him to ask if it was open before we came. It was really like that. He might have been open the night before, but the next morning when we wanted to go find him, he would have already gone to another country.”

Bai Yu said somewhat helplessly, "After all, many of the requests are accepted very suddenly. You might just get off the plane and the next request is already here. But since you've posted so many updates, many people should know that Grandpa Nakiri said he was coming today."

"Yes, we know about this. We were planning to talk to Father about how much sponsorship we could get for this fall election later tonight."

"The old man is most likely here for this matter, and Mr. Dojima may also come."

"Dojima-senpai... I guess those two are going to start drinking again. I wonder if Saiba-senpai is here."

Erina said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... if it's Saiba-senpai who's coming, then... never mind, I'll just say hello anyway, since he might not even be there."

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "What the hell? Erina, what's going on? Do you have any connection with that Mr. Saiba?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Saiba-senpai taught me cooking when I was little... Hisako and Alice know about this, but... um... maybe I should..."

Alice chuckled mischievously and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Erina had a lot of tsundere embarrassing moments back then...heh...I remember back then..."

. "

"Alice!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, who wasn't like that when they were little? But... Erina, to be honest, you were much cuter back then than you are now."

Erina snorted but didn't say anything. Nakiri Managi sighed. She could compete with Erina for favor and compete with Erina in anything, but she had no say in Erina's childhood.

"Zi, aren't you guys going to wash your hair or something? Xiao Xinling and Meng came over today."

"Hey, it's nothing. But speaking of which... if Reimu and the others come, I wonder if Mokou and the others will come too. But one thing is for sure, Pacho will definitely come."

Remilia's eye twitched. She really had to be careful around her best friend. She was about to get busy, and although she wouldn't need her for anything, no one could withstand being betrayed so suddenly.

Hinami and the others are really looking forward to opening the shop. They can't believe they're already married before they've even finished their studies, and they'll get to meet so many powerful figures from all over the world. It makes them especially eager for night to fall. Maybe that's why their husbands' restaurant is a night restaurant.

As usual, after eating, Nakiri Managi and the others ran upstairs. However... this time, they didn't go back to rest. Instead, they went back to change into slippers and ran back down. Having learned about the other world during summer vacation, they felt they had to see it for themselves.

Lucifer and the others didn't say anything about it. Coco and the others had originally planned to stay and watch how the shop was opened, so instead of Coco and the others staying to watch, they might as well stay and let Zdelada and the others take them upstairs later.

"Asuna, you don't need to get so excited. Opening the store is fine, but don't forget, our shop doesn't get many customers. We only have regular customers and customers who happen to come by chance."

"That's true, but... it's the first time I've been in the store at this time, so I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what kind of customers will come."

"Nothing too special... I feel like most of the people coming today are regulars, like..."

Before Lucifer could finish speaking, the shop door was pushed open, and an elderly man in a kimono appeared beside a man with a buzz cut in a shirt. These were none other than Senzaemon Nakiri and Gin Dojima, whom Lucifer and the others already knew.

"Bai... Hmm? Am I too early? Why are all you girls here? Usually you're either upstairs working overtime or playing games?"

Nakiri Managi smiled and said, "Father, we just got back and don't have much to do, so we thought we'd check out the shop together today. You two can find a place to sit; it's been open for half an hour already."

After finding a seat, Dojima Gin sighed and said, "Managi, Erina, and Alice, you girls are finally officially Mrs. White now. What are your thoughts?"

Seeing that Seiichiro Saiba wasn't there, Erina breathed a sigh of relief. No one was going to bring up her embarrassing past anymore, and the three of them said in unison, "We're happy!"

Senzaemon Nakiri chuckled and said, "Hakuha, logically speaking... shouldn't this family be allowed to order something from the secret menu?"

Bai Yu tilted his head and said, "You mean...?"

"Let's start with two eggplant fritters to go with the drinks."

"If you're not prepared, you really can't order, but you can order some other hidden dishes."

Senzaemon Nakiri and Gin Dojima's eyes lit up. Senzaemon Nakiri quickly said, "Oh? Tell me, what's this hidden dish? You can't keep it a secret, kid!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "You two should decide what kind of cuisine you want to eat first."

"Then... um... let's have Chinese food. It's been two months since I've had authentic Chinese food! Just arrange three science subjects, no need for soup. So what's the hidden dish?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Taiwanese fried chicken."

"Hmm?! That sounds good. Two beers, cold! And bring some pork jerky or something too."

"Okay, please wait..."

Chapter 8: The Numb Alice, the Unreliable Kasugano Sora (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Nakiri Managi was wearing slippers and casual clothes, sitting in front of Nakiri Senzaemon. Nakiri Senzaemon smiled and said, "Seeing that you three girls can live happily, I am at ease. You have no idea how lively the parents' group chat is every day."

Erina paused for a moment and said, "Hmm? Is it really that lively?"

Senzaemon Nakiri didn't say anything, but took out his phone and turned off notifications for the parents' group chat. The next moment... a new message notification sounded. Senzaemon Nakiri glanced at the message and said with a smile, "They're talking about investments for tomorrow's Autumn Election again."

"Huh? Managi, Erina, what's with those expressions on your faces?"

As soon as Senzaemon Nakiri finished speaking, he saw Managi Nakiri and Erina Nakiri shaking their heads nervously. Gin Dojima also quietly nudged Senzaemon Nakiri with his elbow.

Senzaemon Nakiri then noticed that Lucifer and the others were also secretly watching Hisako and Alice. The two girls were so nervous that they were about to cry. They were already feeling even more nervous because of their sisters' expectations and their husbands being judges. Now that the parents' group chat had started, they were about to have a mental breakdown.

Sona gently hugged Hisako and patted her back, while Alice said blankly, "Grandpa...do we really have to talk about such intense topics? I'm starting to feel...that being a chef is terrifying...I definitely don't want to be a chef anymore..."

Senzaemon Nakiri's eyes twitched and he said in a deep voice, "Alice, Hisako, you two don't need to be nervous. Just show your progress. Rankings are not important to you, not even to you now, and not even to the Elite Ten."

"Heh... Grandpa, you don't need to comfort us. Our own sisters are judges, our own sisters know about this... and our own husbands are judges too... Wow... what a luxurious setup... If we get eliminated by our husbands, heh... well... the worst thing would be not even making it to the time when our husbands are judges..."

Harley Quinn and the others looked helpless; the pressure was indeed mounting. Senzaemon Nakiri was also somewhat embarrassed, as it seemed he had arranged it himself. Otherwise, Shiraha, with his usually carefree personality, would never have volunteered to be a judge.

Yuko Ichihara sighed and said, "Let's not talk about the Autumn Election anymore. Anyway, the Autumn Election is tomorrow, so just relax. We're not looking for results, but attitude. Alright, alright, let's stop this topic! Grandpa, I heard that your Totsuki Academy Festival lasts a long time."

"Yes! That's true. The school will be open to the public, and there will be a lot of customers. Erina, you'll be opening a shop, right?"

"Well... I originally planned to open a shop, but... now that I think about it, being a guide for my husband every day isn't such a bad idea..."

"Then it's up to you. Whether you open the shop or not doesn't make much difference. It looks like Saitama can't come today. It's been a long time since I've seen him."

If it were before, Lucifer and the others might have been unable to hold back their laughter at the thought of Saitama, after all, his tomato and egg outfit and the silly look with an expression drawn on his head were just too funny. But not now. Ever since they learned that Saitama could destroy anything with one punch, they no longer find it funny.

Suddenly remembering something, Yoshikawa Yuki turned around and grabbed Kasugano Sora's hand, saying, "Sora! Have you done your summer homework?!"

"Uh... there's summer homework?!"

Everyone stared at Kasugano Sora with strange looks. Hinami Aoi, propping her chin on her hand, said irritably, "Idiots, how could there be no summer homework? We had a summary, several worksheets, and... a social practice? Hmm, I think that's it. We finished it a long time ago. You Sakura don't assign homework?"

Kasugano Sora's face turned pale, and under everyone's speechless gazes, she took out her phone and called Hiratsuka Shizuka. Hiratsuka Shizuka and Sengoku Chihiro originally planned to stick to Shiraha, but Kanadein Shion directly dragged Hiratsuka Shizuka and the other two to her home, ignoring their various protests.

Finally, Shion Sorain said that after Otonokizaka is merged into the school, she can come over more often. She also wants to come to her house for Christmas, so she'll just stay here with the two of them for now.

While eating dinner, Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a hint of helplessness on the other end of the phone, "Kyo, what's wrong with you? I'm still preparing my lesson. Zhanzhan, find me an A4 sheet."

"Sister Jing! Help! Does Huangying have any summer homework?!"

"Huh? You didn't forget to write them, did you? Five weekly reports, three exam papers, and one social practice assignment, that's about two thousand words. You...you didn't forget to write them, did you...?"

"Exam papers?! Do such things even exist?!"

Everyone fell into an eerie silence. Even Dojima Gin, who was just watching, covered his face as if he couldn't bear to watch. After Kasugano Sora asked a few questions, she ran back upstairs at a speed that amazed Lucifer and the others.

Coco tilted her head and said, "Yuno, you...."

"Hmm? Homework... The school said they won't disturb my summer vacation, and that I need to rest well during the summer because I study hard during the year, so I don't have any homework..."

"As expected of you..." xn

Lucifer, resting his forehead on his hand, said, "When will Xiao Qiong ever stop causing us any trouble... But then again, so much has happened this summer, it's understandable that she's too happy to notice. But it looks like she'll be staying up all night tonight. Yuno, go help her out at night."

"Oh...."

Pandemonica, holding her coffee, said, "But you're not allowed to write for her. Let her write on her own so she can learn more. If she doesn't know something, you can help her. That way, she can make the most of her time."

Yuno Gasai nodded without saying anything. She had actually intended to do all of Yuno Gasai's homework for her. Just as Houki Shinonono was about to speak, she heard a voice that Lucifer and the others recognized very well.

Sizzle.....

The most powerful voice from this little shop is back...

Chapter Nine: Fujiwara no Mokou Arrives Because She's Lonely (Please Subscribe~)

The sizzling sound of ingredients hitting the oil made Lucifer and the others who were familiar with it start to look forward to it. Fujimine Yukiko said with a surprised look, "Is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like I can already picture so many scenes just from hearing this sound?"

Geng Shishun and the others nodded repeatedly. Lucifer said with a smile, "Luckily, we're used to it. Seriously, when we're in the shop, just hearing the sizzling of oil or smelling the aroma makes us want to try it. So, when we're minding the shop at night, we always have to have some late-night snacks and treats."

The newcomers nodded in realization. Senzaemon Nakiri breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As expected, it is only here that I can feel the most primal anticipation for cooking. Managi, this time, I will have Shiraha talk to the Senpyo sisters about this matter. You should also send two executives over to take a look."

"Yes, it's all decided. Kraki and Dekhra will go with her. As for Rantabi, she and Ann will go to watch the game. As for Ann... we'll see later. Anyway, Rantabi should just stay put."

"Managi-nee! I'm reliable too!"

"Ah, okay, okay, you're reliable, I'll definitely do it next time."

Rantabi snorted and didn't say anything more. She really wasn't suited for business. In front of Kasugano Sora and the others, she was Rantabi the older sister, but in front of Klara and the others, she was still the younger sister. She should just behave herself.

"The Chihaya sisters are no ordinary people to have built such a large business. However, we have the initiative. In any case, we don't need to push the price too hard."

Nakiri Managi waved her hand and said, "You should talk to my husband about this. I'm not going to discuss business. By the way, Father, have you ever tried that Taiwanese fried chicken?"

"No, you can tell from the name where it's from. It should be a snack, but every single one of this kid's snacks is incredibly delicious. It's like he's living a life of quiet solitude."

"That's right! My husband made a lot of snacks during the summer vacation, many of which I'd never heard of before, but they were really delicious."

Dojima Gin chuckled twice and said, "I didn't expect you to be so lively now, Erina."

Erina pursed her lips and said, "It's definitely different from before. After all, I'm a married woman now, and my perspective and focus are different."

While they were chatting idly, Reimu's shrine was also quite lively on the other side. Reimu, holding a broom, said irritably, "You can try opening the door every day for the next couple of days, but could you please not do it at my shrine, especially not the side door!"

Marisa laughed and said, "Well! Well! Reimu, don't take it so seriously! Isn't it just that if we calculate the time, Manager Shiraha and the others will be back in the next few days? Wouldn't it be great if we could really go?"

"But why are you opening the gate to my shrine?!"

"They've probably gotten used to it, that's not important! Even Reisen and Inaba Tei have been coming over every day lately, right? They seem to really miss Eirin and the others."

As soon as she finished speaking, Reisen ran over and said earnestly, "It's not just because I haven't seen Lady Eirin and the others in so long! It's also because of the little princess! The little princess! The little princess has definitely arrived!"

Inaba Tei nodded. He already knew from the photos that this girl was very cute, at least much cuter than his unreliable princess.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how Remi and Sakuya change."

"Pachu! Meiling! Good evening! You've finally arrived!"

Hong Meiling greeted them, scratched her head and said with a smile, "Because Lady Patchouli said that even if we come back, the night will be very long. We have plenty of time, so we might as well have some snacks first. If we don't come back, we won't go hungry."

Marisa nodded and said, "Oh right, Patchouli, you have anemia. I wonder what happened to them during summer vacation, but it must have been very lively!"

"Of course, there are so many people... Hmm? That's true, but why have neither Mokou nor Keine-sensei ever come? And Yuugi hasn't come either. It's so strange. Didn't she say she was going to pursue Shiraha-sensei?"

"That's true, but before Yuugi... um? Someone came?"

Everyone turned around, and the next moment they were all stunned. The person they hadn't expected was none other than Fujiwara no Mokou, who hadn't shown her face before.

"Huh?! Mokou?! What brings you here today?!"

"I don't know, it's not very interesting, so I just came to take a look. I should probably go to the store too."

Where is Teacher Huiyin?

She said that if I could go, I could leave from home next time.

Reimu clicked her tongue and said, "I don't know about other things, but I do know that you two, Mokou and I, are much more reliable than these guys. They act like they don't have their own houses, running to my shrine every night to open the door!"

"Reimu, don't be so stingy! Speaking of which, Mokou, you've come at the right time. It's still a bit early, and there might be other customers in the shop. You'll have to wait a little longer. What are your plans if you see that little Kaguya?"

Upon hearing this, Reisen immediately said with a serious expression, "Don't bully the little princess! If you have a problem, come at us!"

Fujiwara no Mokou sat down to the side, holding her teacup, and said softly, "I wouldn't stoop to the level of a child, and I have no interest in fighting right now."

"Really?"

"I'm not that bad, and even if I didn't act normally towards that girl, I probably wouldn't be able to come to the store anymore. I don't want that."

Patchouli chuckled twice and said, "Reisen, you don't need to worry. Mokou will never lay a hand on anyone, or rather... I guess Mokou won't fight anyone anymore in the future."

"Even the princess said so... Why? Why did it suddenly happen like that..."

Fujiwara no Mokou remained silent, simply sipping her tea. Patchouli, with a slight smile, said, "Because...loneliness..."

"Patchouli, when did you become so talkative?"

"It's probably because I've been reading a lot of manga lately. It's all minor stuff, but there's one thing worth noting: Mokou."
