People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Huh? I..."

Don't expect me to tell you the address and time.

"Huh?! Eri! What happened! You need to be comforted after telling me this! I..."

"But...I have a man."

"This... Hmph! Let's drink! Let's switch to beer!"

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Unexpected Writer, Are You Not Human? (Please Subscribe~)

Yukiko was furious. She was losing out on the latest gossip. Eri Kisaki was a woman who loved and hated fiercely, and was loyal and devoted. Now that she was so determined, who knew what kind of manga plot would unfold! It was infuriating!

Eri smiled and shook her head. She was looking forward to the day when she could be honest with Shiraha, and even more so to the day when she could be honest with Ran. This dinner was just her and Yukiko, but it still felt pretty good.

On the other side, Kizaru was still focused on showing off his food and showed no sign of stopping. Momousagi and the others were chatting about this world while listening to other random things. This time, Yukari Yakumo and the others chose to have hot pot, which made Shiraha much more relaxed.

However, Fujiwara no Mokou's eyes twitched. Was it really okay to eat spicy hot pot at night? Although there were four different hot pot bases, seeing Yagokoro Eirin and the others eating from each one, she suddenly wondered if Gensokyo would experience a collective shift in dietary preferences in the future.

Bai Yu remained quietly reading. After Tina finished eating, she glanced at him and said, "Nojiko, is Manager Bai Yu really not disturbed at all? What book is he reading?"

"I don't know, you'll have to ask Nami."

"Oh? Honey... If I remember correctly, you've been reading a philosophy book these past few days. It's in Italian, and you can't understand it at all, even the translation doesn't help."

"Huh? Is it that profound?"

Nami propped her chin on her hand and said, "My husband reads a wide variety of books, from comics and magazines to academic philosophy. He can remember everything he reads and even understand it. He's amazing!"

Momousagi said with some surprise, "Indeed... but it seems Hawkeye doesn't know the store is open yet."

"He's probably either busy or genuinely doesn't know. He was easily beaten by my husband, and he's a loyal customer; he really likes the shop. You don't want to fight Hawkeye, do you?"

"I've long wanted to see just how strong the world's greatest swordsman really is."

"Hmm...very strong. I don't know how strong. Speaking of which, a lot of people came today. I guess there won't be any more customers coming."

Yukari Yakumo wiped the sweat from her forehead and laughed, "It doesn't matter whether you come or not. I don't want my husband to be so busy all the time. Phew... the broth at the restaurant is definitely better, but it's also spicier. Phew... no, I can't drink anything else. Ran! Go get some beer!"

"Oh!"

Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's best if there are no customers, and it's almost time anyway..."

"Time?"

Tina paused for a moment and asked, "Closed time?"

Yuko Ichihara waved her hand and said, "How could that be? The shop is open from evening until the next morning, and people still come for breakfast. What Lucifer meant by 'whenever it' is time' is probably... you're going to release Beelzebub?"

"Huh?!" xn

Marina immediately tossed the game console aside and said nervously, "No... does it really have to be released so soon? I almost forgot about it!"

Lucifer said in a deep voice, "After all, this is an agreement, and Beelzebub says he's sleeping, but he's actually very energetic. He might be counting down the time every day, and if he forgets, he might go crazy."

"Besides, we have to release them today no matter what. Since most of the people are here now and Yukiko and the others aren't, it will be easier to release them now and we'll have time to chat. Who knows how troublesome it would be if we released them later, and we'd have to explain things."

Everyone nodded. Erina and the others were also a little nervous. Momousagi asked with some doubt, "Beelzebub?"

“That’s right, one of the demon kings of Hell. Although she is also our family, she is currently exiled in the abyss and will be released soon. I heard from Lucie that she also has other names... such as the Queen of Diseases, the Demon Queen, and so on.”

Momousagi swallowed hard. Wow, that's pretty impressive. Mordis whispered, "I'm suddenly feeling a little nervous. When will Azazel be brought up?"

"We'll talk about that during the semifinals. My husband still has to go back with Nami and the others, right? There's no rush. Compared to Beelzebub, she's pure and harmless."

“Oh.…”xn

While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the shop door suddenly lit up, and the next moment a green-haired girl wearing a mask, carrying a bunch of bandages, and dressed in loungewear walked in.

"Huh? I've time-traveled?"

Lucifer said with some surprise, "I've seen all sorts of appearances so far, but you're the first one to directly say that you've traveled through time, and dressed like this. That's really something."

The girl was stunned for a moment and said, "So, I really time-traveled?"

Chifuyu Orimura thought for a moment and said, "Your understanding is not wrong, but this is just a restaurant in another world. If you want to go back, you can just open the door and think about going back before the store closes."

Hearing this, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly cheered like a little madwoman, ran to a chair, sat down, and excitedly took out a notebook and a pen from her pocket, saying, "Oh! Then there's nothing to worry about! Is there anything interesting? I've got new material!"

"material?"

"Ah, I'm a writer!"

"Another writer?! So you're dressed like this because you're looking for inspiration?"

"Ah... no, since it's another world, you are all... hmm? It smells so good..."

Lucifer chuckled and said, "You mean hot pot? That'll definitely be... um? Remi, what's wrong?"

Remilia tilted her head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, although you were looking this way when you said that, it seems you also glanced at my lemon tart, didn't you..."

"Huh?!" xn (

The girl's eyes twitched slightly as she said, "Ah, that lemon tart looks delicious! I really love sweets and fruits!"

"Huh? You...are you sure?"

"Um... I'm sure... I'm sure."

"You...you're not human, are you?"

"Huh?!" xn

Upon hearing this, the girl shuddered, and Lucifer and the others also looked over. Erina and the others were especially excited. They knew there was absolutely no danger, so they were really looking forward to meeting the strange visitors from another world!

The girl took off her mask, revealing a very beautiful face. She smiled and said, "Of course I'm human! Look, I have two eyes, a nose, a mouth, and human ears too. How can I not be human?"

Erina and the others nodded. Remilia said softly, "It's understandable if others couldn't tell, but you can't fool me. I'm probably the most sensitive to blood in the whole family. There seems to be a little bit of blood on your bandage, and you..."

Remilia chuckled softly but remained silent. The girl said in a deep voice, "Who are you all? And who are you?"

"Remilia Scarlet, the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, a pureblood vampire, the Queen of the Night, and one of the proprietresses of this shop. So, don't hide anything from vampires when it comes to matters related to blood."

"Vampires?! You guys too...?"

Lucifer waved her hand again, too lazy to explain slowly. The girl stared blankly for a few seconds before looking at the beauties in front of her in disbelief. Lucifer tilted her head and said, "So, you don't need to hide it. We can vaguely sense that you are human, but not entirely human."

The girl swallowed hard, but still turned to look at the doorway. Remilia sipped her tea and said softly, "Think it through. If you have your reasons and aren't some wicked person, there might be a way to resolve this. But if you leave, it will be difficult to help you in the future."

"Ha...a villain?"

"Hmm?"

The girl sat down in the chair and tossed her pen aside. With this setup, she couldn't escape even if she wanted to, and with the existence of a god, she didn't feel she could hide anything.

The girl sighed and said, "Even bad guys are still human... We're monsters..."

"A monster?!"

The girl lowered her head somewhat dejectedly and said, "You're right, I did smell the aroma of hot pot, but what attracts me more is your lemon tart."

While playing the game, Jinx casually remarked, "Tch, they're just vampires. Remy and Flan are both vampires, what's so special about them being considered monsters?"

Everyone nodded, but the girl gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "If I were really just a vampire, I'd probably be very happy. I've never said I was a vampire..."

Lucifer and the others were taken aback for a moment. Bai Yu suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, "According to various myths, it's not just vampires who use blood; werewolves, various monsters, ghouls, and so on all feed on flesh and blood."

Werewolves were alright, but when it came to ghouls, even Lucifer and the others raised an eyebrow. The girl sighed, and after a long while, she clenched her fist, gritted her teeth, and said, "So you can probably guess what I mean..."

"Zi and the others are all monsters. Werewolves and vampires belong to the same type and appear in the same mythology. You'd be happy if you mentioned vampires, so..."

Asuna and the others reacted instantly, only one word remaining in their minds. The next moment, they all shuddered: Ghouls! Vampires don't necessarily die from drinking blood, but what about ghouls? That goes without saying!

The girl silently put on the mask and said softly, "I don't have the ability or courage to lay a hand on their sisters in front of God, and I don't want to either... So I'll go back now."

Just as the girl was about to get up, she heard Bai Yu casually say, "Don't you think hot pot smells delicious?"

The girl paused for a moment, then turned her head. Even through her mask, her surprise was palpable. She tilted her head and said calmly, "Since you've all guessed I'm a ghoul, then most people wouldn't have any good feelings towards me, right? After all... that's not a story from a book."

As Bai Yu looked at the book, he said softly, "Every world has its own rules. For example, in Zi's world, there are gods and demons. In A Li's world, there are a hundred ghosts at night. In Nami's world, there are pirates everywhere."

"It seems that your world is not just about you being a ghoul. In other words, your world is a world of humans and ghouls. So whether you become a ghoul or are born a ghoul is not up to you."

"For ghouls, humans are their staple food, and your behavior is special enough. At least you don't hurt people indiscriminately, and that's enough. When you come to a restaurant, you're just a customer. Your status depends on what you do when you come to the restaurant, what you did before, and what your motives were."

Lucifer and the others were also curious. Yes, why did a ghoul have that expression just now? Was it merely because of their identities? Absolutely not.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, sat down in the chair, and said with a smile, "That's a really unexpected answer. As expected of someone with invincible strength, you're quite composed."

"I am calm only because the customers who come to the store are special enough. You behaved specially enough and did not show any malice, so you are just an ordinary customer."

"Hmm...you're so strange, but strange things are usually pretty good. But never mind...human food isn't really suitable for me...but I can still cut an apple, right?"

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "You can't eat human food?"

"You can't say that. After all, aren't all those who come here special beings? I should be a little different... a special monster?"

Seeing the girl who called herself a monster speaking so calmly, Erina and the others were no longer so afraid. They were more curious about what kind of world it was and what the girl in front of them had experienced.

"So, this person..."

The girl swung her legs and laughed, saying, "A name? Let me think... Yoshimura Eto? How about that? Or is Takatsuki Sen a better name?"

Bai Yu closed the book, stood up, smiled, and said, "Bai Yu, please wait a moment, Miss Yoshimura."

"Eh? Pfft... You wouldn't happen to be a part-time psychologist, would you?! How scary! Hahahaha! Well then, let's cut an apple, Mr. Shiraha."

The apples were cut quickly; they were just ordinary apples, but not just one, but a whole plateful. Yoshimura Ete sat obediently in his chair, propping his chin up with his hand while writing something in his notebook.

"Oh! Thank you! These apples look delicious. I thought apples from another world were different."

"Nothing's different, but speaking of which, are you a novelist?"

"Of course, without being modest, my book is a bestseller."

Bai Yu said with a smile, "I'd really like to see it if I have the chance."

"Ah, this...maybe next time."

"Then this time, you can have the meal for free."

Yoshimura Aite paused for a moment and said, "My book isn't that expensive, but apples of this quality, in this quantity, are probably more expensive than my book."

"This is the real, meaningful currency of this restaurant."

Tina, who was still gnawing on ribs, froze for a moment. For a brief instant, a voice in her mind said, "Oh no, Tina is smitten by his handsomeness."

Yoshimura Eto paused for a moment and said, "Why is a book meaningful?"

Bai Yu said casually, "Of course not just any book will do. The fact that your book is a bestseller means that the content is good. Only books that people can get into are good books. In that world, as a ghoul, a special kind of ghoul, are the books you wrote just stories?"

Momotaro and the others immediately understood. Bai Yu smiled and said, "This is a night restaurant. People who would abandon the hustle and bustle and enter this restaurant at night are interesting people. Such people may not be exhausted, but they must be full of stories. And these stories are the meaning of this restaurant's existence."

Kizaru suddenly laughed and said, "Manager Shiraha is as interesting as ever, but that's precisely why I didn't tell Sakazuki and the others about this shop."

Momousagi gave Shiroyu a deep look, then turned away and froze. Tina was staring straight at Shiroyu, and Momousagi's eye twitched. Something was wrong with this Tina! Something was very wrong!

Yoshimura Eto smiled and said, "The person who can be taken care of by you must be very happy..."

"That's right!"

Yoshimura Eto paused for a moment, smiled, shook her head, and didn't say anything. She was holding an apple with a fork in one hand and writing something in her notebook when Shinonono Tsukasa, who was studying data upstairs, ran downstairs.

"Chihiro! I... Eh? Houki, you haven't gone to rest yet? Go to sleep! Ouch! That hurts! Houki! This is your older sister's concern!"

Houki Shinonono casually sheathed her wooden sword and said softly, "You damn rabbit, stop pretending to be mature! Just say what you want!"

Shinononozuka squatted down to the side, rubbed her head, and then said with a smile, "Hehehe... I figured it out! Chizuru! Houki! Honey! I figured it out!"

"What did you calculate?"

"Red Camellia! Because Red Camellia is the latest generation of mecha, its most special feature is its weapon. I've finally calculated Red Camellia's weapon stats! Houki! I'll give them to you as soon as I finish making them!"
