People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

The soft texture and pure savory flavor of the tamagoyaki awakened her newly awakened taste buds. Next, the sweet and sour pork with pineapple was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious sweet and sour taste. The spicy and savory flavor of the mala xiangguo (spicy stir-fry) combined with the aroma and heat attacked her newly revived taste buds, which were just beginning to learn to appreciate.

The slight bitterness of the stuffed bitter melon made her pause for a moment. So this is what bitterness is like? It wasn't as good as the sweet or spicy kind, but it was still pretty good. Then the salty and savory flavor and the tender meat filling made her unable to stop eating it.

The seafood has a chewy texture and its own freshness. The sweet and sour pork is crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. There are also vegetables, each with a different flavor and texture, some crisp and refreshing, others soft and sweet. Paired with the savory flavor of the dishes, each dish is a great choice to eat with rice.

Even the rice itself surprised Kirishima Touka. Is this the aroma of rice? No wonder so many people love to eat rice, sushi, and rice balls. She already knows the texture and taste of seafood and loves it. She wonders what it would be like to combine them together. It must be delicious.

Takatsuki Sen recorded a video without Kirishima Touka noticing. Kirishima Touka was focused on eating, simply because she remembered Takatsuki Sen's words: "Food might go bad if it gets cold. It would be a crime not to cherish such delicious food!"

So Kirishima Touka was completely focused on eating. Incidentally, she ordered two more bowls of rice. Watching Kirishima Touka go from crying over a single tamagoyaki at the beginning to becoming so focused after realizing it wasn't a dream and accepting the reality, she was so engrossed in eating, chewing her food while keeping an eye on the other dishes on the table.

Lucifer and the others shook their heads with smiles. Kirishima Touka's cheeks were stuffed like a squirrel's; she ate very quickly and focused on her food, looking like a rabbit.

Tsunade propped her chin on her hand and said, "You're really enjoying your food, but you look like a little white rabbit. You're like that sometimes, too, Moe Moe."

Riven rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not a rabbit!"

"Don't you really like bunny girls?"

"That's a completely different matter! Besides, I only wear this bunny girl outfit for my husband. When have I ever eaten like this at home?"

"Tsk tsk tsk... Mengmeng, it's getting harder and harder to make you laugh since you beat the game."

Riven snorted and turned back to continue searching for a sports headband online. As a mature woman, Riven's ability to resist teasing was much stronger than before, although... it was still not a particularly difficult thing.

After finishing the last piece of octopus, she picked up the plum juice on the side, took two or three big gulps, and then breathed a sigh of relief. She had never eaten so much or felt so happy since she could remember.

Before Kirishima Touka could say anything, a scoop of ice cream appeared in front of her in a bowl, with two cookies placed to the side to act as a spoon. When Kirishima Touka turned her head, she saw Shiraha walking over at some point.

"You seem to have a good appetite, but if you eat too much, you can't rest right away at night, otherwise it will be bad for your stomach."

"Thank you, Manager Shiraha, the food is truly delicious... I've never eaten anything like this before..."

"So this is a great start. You've tasted seafood, meat, vegetables, and all the flavors of life—sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, and savory. Your life will become richer and richer from now on."

Touka Kirishima blinked and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Manager Shiraha..."

"Tissues, a cool and aloof look doesn't suit this little tabby cat breed. The ice cream is pistachio and goat milk flavored. You can use the biscuit on the side as a spoon. Enjoy your meal."

Kirishima Touka paused for a moment, then quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth. Was she being too rude while eating? Shiraha, on the other hand, smiled, shook his head, cleared away the empty plates and bowls from the table, and left.

Kirishima Touka wiped her mouth, then took a cookie and smacked her lips. Takatsuki Sen, propping her chin on her hand, smiled and said, "Manager Shiraha is quite special, isn't he? He really is a considerate man."

"Hmm... Manager Bai Yu is a very gentle and warm man..."

"This is probably the temperature that sunlight should have."

Touka Kirishima paused for a moment, then smiled and scooped up some ice cream. She was very curious about this little dessert. The cool and refreshing taste, the unique flavor of pistachios, the pure sweetness that was different from candy, and the rich aroma of goat milk made Touka Kirishima's eyes light up. It was so delicious!

As Bai Yu came out of the kitchen, he saw Takatsuki Sen put down her coffee cup, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Manager Bai Yu, Manager Bai Yu, I'd like to settle the bill!"

Before Bai Yu could speak, he saw Takatsuki Sen take a book out of her backpack, tilt her head, and say, "The price hasn't gone up, has it?"

"Of course, but since it's a rare opportunity to meet the author in person, shouldn't you sign it?"

Takatsuki Sen grinned and said, "Hey, I was worried about the price going up, so I prepared not only autographs but also messages!"

"How about another cup of coffee?"

"Pfft... I guess I won't be able to sleep then, Touka. I'll be going now, 727. Take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you from time to time. I'll also tell Ayato, and he'll be at ease."

"Sister Quan..."

Takatsuki Sen patted Kirishima Touka's head and smiled, saying, "Don't forget, I'm also an experimental subject. It's just that I have an organization to manage. Ayato is too arrogant and definitely won't chat with you. You can record a video or write a letter and bring it to him next time I come."

"Say what you want to say, and... what does it look like in the sunlight..."

Touka Kirishima pursed her lips, stood up, and bowed deeply to Sen Takatsuki, saying in a low voice, "Sen-nee... I will never forget your kindness..."

"This is also my ticket... So, Manager Shiraha, Mrs. Yuuko, and everyone else, I'm entrusting Touka to you all."

Lucifer waved his hand and said, "Don't worry."

"Um... Touka, I'll head back now. Goodnight! No... exactly 12:01 AM. Good morning."

Touka Kirishima paused for a moment, then saw a bright light. Takatsuki Sen was gone, leaving only a book. Touka pursed her lips and softly said, "Good morning..."

Chapter 222 Kirishima Touka's Part-Time Job, Shiraha's Preparations (Please Subscribe~)

Yukari Yakumo and the others had long since finished their meals, since it was just a bowl of porridge, a bowl of wontons, or a bowl of ramen. Touka Kirishima wiped her mouth with a napkin after finishing her ice cream. To be honest, she felt a little uneasy now that Emi Takatsuki was gone, she was all alone.

This isn't another city, this is another world! As the only ghoul in this world, even though he's become like a normal human, he's still an outcast, and he has to live with these powerful demons and gods. It's impossible not to be nervous.

"Manager Shirayu, I'd also like to pay the bill..."

Hearing this, everyone who was chatting was stunned for a moment. Shinonono Tsuka pinched Kirishima Touka's face and said, "Pay the bill? What bill? I told you, don't act like an outsider. Why are you paying the bill when we're eating together?!"

"But....."

Lucifer said irritably, "You don't need to be so reserved, girl. Just treat yourself like you're at home. Do you pay for your own meals? Besides, you won't have to pay for your living expenses in the future. We're not short of money at home; we're practically living on paper."

Upon hearing this, Kirishima Touka quickly said, "This won't do. You've already troubled everyone so much, I..."

Lucifer and the others exchanged glances and nodded. Ichihara Yuuko coughed lightly and said, "Then that's settled. Treat this place like your own home. Go to school when you're supposed to, go out and play when you're supposed to. All your expenses will be covered by your family's money, just like ours. Don't say anything yet."

"If you feel you can't accept that, you can work part-time at your sister's company. Of course, you can go if you want, or not if you don't. You don't need to pay a salary; you can just use it directly. Is that okay?"

Touka Kirishima pursed her lips and said, "This... but I don't know anything about it..."

Harley Quinn rolled her eyes and said, "You're really stubborn. You don't need to know anything. Look at your figure and looks, why don't you go to WGO and be a model like Hai Meng? Why don't you go to Rino Company and work in logistics?"

Kobayashi Rindou retorted irritably, "There aren't many customers in the shop, and it's a nighttime restaurant. You need to rest while you're at school, so why don't you go help out at your friend's shop? You do have memories of Inui and the others."

Nakiri Managi propped her chin on her hand and said, "Aren't you a ghoul? You must know a lot about meat. If you don't want to do any of these jobs, you can sign a contract with Yumi's family in the next few days and become a product quality inspector. You can find plenty of part-time jobs around the house."

Yukari Yakumo said with a hint of amusement, "Besides, you won't be able to do it for long. At first, it was Momo, and then it was Grayfia and the others. At first, they all felt that they had to do something to make themselves feel better, but now only Momo occasionally waters the flowers, and Grayfia and the others help with chopping vegetables and such."

Hearing this, Riven and the others gave somewhat awkward laughs. Riven's check-in plan hadn't even lasted three months before it collapsed. Kirishima Touka pursed her lips and said, "I...I don't know what to choose..."

"Then let's choose WGO. Become a model like Haimeng. Haimeng will teach you; she's a top model. You can also work part-time as a product quality inspector. Cerberus has been saying he wants to be that."

Cerberus's ears twitched excitedly as he exclaimed, "Touka! Touka! Touka! It seems simple! Just going to take a look around, check the categories and freshness!"

Touka Kirishima hesitated for a moment before saying, "Being a product quality inspector is fine... but a model? Am I suitable?"

"Be more confident! Your image and temperament are perfect for this style. You're the kind of cool and aloof girl with short hair. It's not easy to find models with this style. If you come, Hai Meng will train you. You'll only have one shoot a month. Since you'll be staying at the hotel, she can teach you every night when you come back. No problem."

Kitagawa Kaimu nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right! Moreover, to be a model, you need to look at appearance, body shape and height, and you fit both criteria. In addition, being a model doesn't depend on intelligence, but more on body coordination and control. You are a ghoul, so you are naturally good at fighting. You will definitely learn quickly."

"That's right!"

Touka Kirishima paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that case, let's leave it at that... Thank you..."

"Why are you thanking me? It's because you just arrived. Shu, take Touka to see the room. Xiao Qiong, you guys go upstairs too. Go to sleep if you need to, or do your work. Are you really planning to have tea all night?"

"Okay!" xn

Before Kirishima Touka could say anything, a group of people dragged her upstairs, leaving the downstairs area much quieter. Lucifer sighed and said, "She's such a pitiful girl. Being born in that world, whether you're a ghoul or a human, is unlucky enough. Honey, which school do you think Touka will choose?"

"Anything is possible, maybe even Seigaku."

"It can't be that bad! By the way, honey, is Xiaolin coming over today?"

"I didn't ask about that, and Xiaolin didn't send me any messages either. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be coming over on Saturday."

"Then let's wait and see. Today it's basically confirmed to be a dragon, but we don't know where it's gone. Hinako even recommended our shop, but we haven't seen it here. That's strange."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "If it really is a dragon, then you can send a message to Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin doesn't come over for dinner every time he works overtime."

"So, Saturday night is the final deadline. If Xiaolin doesn't come, send him a message during the day. He'll definitely come over on the weekend. It's the weekend now, and Xiaolin usually arrives around 1 a.m. at the latest. Let's wait and see."

"Hmm? I just remembered that there's a package arriving tomorrow, which is supposed to be delivered by the weekend."

Pandemonica sighed and said, "Honey, why do you always buy things without our knowledge?"

"It's nothing. It's just that if I go back to visit my family with Tsunade, I need to bring some things for the elders. I asked a friend to buy them for me, and they should arrive tomorrow."

"Oh!" xn

Chapter 223 The Arrogant Kirishima Ayato, the Little Angel is Coming (Please Subscribe~)

On the other side, Kirishima Touka was also a little dizzy. After being taken upstairs, she was assigned her own room, the same as Lucifer's and the others' rooms. However, Lucifer's and the others' rooms had already been modified and decorated by themselves in various ways. Each person's room was different, but you could tell at a glance that the basic design was the same.

That's not the key point. The key point is that as soon as Kirishima Touka went upstairs and was assigned a room, she was pulled around to visit each room to get to know her family, and was also given a bunch of cosmetics and skincare products.

Before she could even react, he tossed her a cell phone and a computer in her room. These were the ones that came with each room in the shop. Before she could even process what was happening, she was added to the family group chat, followed by a wave of welcome messages.

Touka Kirishima was also surprised to discover something: the cell phones in the shop could actually contact people from the other world. If that meant she could contact Sen Takatsuki and Renji Yomo? It was just that the social media apps were different, but email and phone calls seemed to work!

Considering that Kirishima Touka had experienced too much today and her emotions were like a rollercoaster, she wasn't dragged to the second party. Everyone else also went to bed early.

Touka Kirishima also took a good bath. To be honest, even though she is a ghoul, she is still a normal girl. She likes pretty things and loves beauty. She takes good care of her skin and makeup.

053 Even so, she had never taken a bath like this before. Usually, she would just use shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and body lotion. But today, she was using bottle after bottle of lotion, spray, steam, patch, and mask. Kirishima Touka felt like she had never taken care of her skin before.

She was quite impressed. Lucifer and the other demons and gods already had enough magic power, and with these skincare products, it was clear that even goddess-level beauties with great skin would go to great lengths to take care of their skin.

At this moment, Kirishima Touka was lying in bed with a face mask on, and there was also a diffuser that Zdelada had given her, which was said to help her sleep.

But Touka Kirishima still can't fall asleep. She's experienced so much today, from that desperate life at the beginning to now, it feels like a dream.

But the delicious food, the relaxation from the soft bed and pillows, the face mask on her face, the elaborate skincare routine she had just gone through, and the unprecedentedly warm and satisfying feeling in her stomach—she could feel the delicious food being digested and broken down into the energy she needed.

"What will life be like from now on...?"

Touka Kirishima didn't know how long she thought before falling asleep. She only knew that she slept soundly and peacefully without dreaming.

Meanwhile, Takatsuki Sen, after returning, immediately squatted on the ground, covering her face without saying a word. After a long while, she sighed, stood up, and changed into her usual clothes with a genuine smile of joy. She then wrapped her bandages, opened the door, and went out.

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Upon seeing Takatsuki Sen suddenly appear, Kirishima Ayato, who was at the Aogiri Tree base, was also taken aback. Takatsuki Sen had been with Kirishima Touka for the past few days, so why was she coming alone at this time?

"She has arrived at her destination."

Kirishima Ayato paused for a moment, then looked at Takatsuki Sen without saying a word. Takatsuki Sen, sitting on the table, smiled and said, "She has fulfilled her wish and will stay there to study from now on."

"It's done?!"

Even the aloof and arrogant Kirishima Ayato was somewhat surprised. Wasn't it supposed to be an experiment? How did it succeed so quickly?! This made Kirishima Ayato feel a little uncertain.

Takatsuki Sen tossed a USB drive and then her phone over. The USB drive contained a copy of the store's video recordings, which she had specifically given to Kirishima Ayato. Kirishima Ayato opened the video without saying a word.

Looking at the warm and bright shop, and watching Kirishima Touka go from crying as she ate each human dish to just eating in silence, you could occasionally hear some woman saying something like, "Eat slowly so you don't choke."

Kirishima Ayato clenched his fist. That was definitely human food. Kirishima Touka could really eat human food now. And judging from the voice, just as Takatsuki Sen said, there was no danger and the voice was very caring towards Kirishima Touka. This made a sense of relief flash in Kirishima Ayato's eyes.

Takatsuki Izumi said with a smile, "They all treat her very well, like family. And she will be studying there. They even argued about wanting her to go to their school before, which startled her."

"Oh, right, and there's no need to worry about this girl's living expenses either. In the words of Mrs. Yuko, it's all given to the family. And the so-called experiment was just drawing six tubes of blood before she recovered. After that, it won't be necessary. I guess we'll draw six more tubes of blood as a control experiment after a while."

"The two donations totaled 60 milliliters of blood, which is less than half of the standard amount for blood donation. We will only collect a small amount of kagune fragments once we make a breakthrough at this stage, probably only once or twice, so you don't need to worry."

Kirishima Ayato said softly, "There's nothing to worry about with her. People and ghouls die in this city every day. If something happens to her too, there's nothing to say."

Takatsuki Sen tilted her head and chuckled, saying, "Ayato, it feels weird when boys act all tsundere."

Kirishima Ayato's eye twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything. Takatsuki Izumi, on the other hand, laughed incessantly, nimbly grabbed the phone, and skipped away. After a long silence, Kirishima Ayato finally chuckled softly, "Weaklings should stay away... idiot older sister..."

After finishing his sentence, Kirishima Ayato put on his mask and walked in one direction, with more and more people following behind him until the group quickly disappeared from the base.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the other shop was much more peaceful. Yakumo Yukari, propping her chin on her hand, said, "Hey, Lucie, when are you going to call that little angel over? Didn't you say you'd call her over this month?"

"Let's wait for my husband and Tsunade to go back. Call that brat over and take her out for a walk during the day so we can see things more clearly in the evening. It'll be convenient for me too. I have a lot of things to do next week. If she sees my husband, she'll definitely ask all sorts of questions, and she might even want to follow him. So, that's it."

"That's good too. Gion and Tina are coming over next week, right? We can take Touka to see the school while we're at it."

"Ok!"

"Therefore, I personally think this matter should be viewed dialectically. Her choice to commit suicide at this time was definitely because the pressure she was under had reached its limit."

"So it's ironic, she died, and then the disaster just disappeared in less than fifteen minutes."

"It feels more like some kind of test, like a joke played by the gods... Hey? Someone's coming. Who could it be so late..."
