People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Master! I really don't have a big appetite in human form!"

"Okay~ Eat up~ Let's try something different this time~"

As Bai Yu spoke, he lifted the lid of the plate in front of him, and three dishes that looked very appetizing came into view. Cerberus almost drooled. What about not having a big appetite? What about the female modesty that Lucifer taught her? None of them smelled as good as the dishes in front of her!

"Master, master, master! What are all these things?!"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Roasted ribs, boiled beef, and spotted liver soup~"

The dog didn't know what these things were, but her instincts told her that they were all incredibly delicious. No... right now, she would think that whatever Bai Yu fed her was incredibly delicious. The dog's world is that simple; there's nothing but its owner.

"What is that guy doing?! He's so slow!"

At that moment, a white-haired man was standing in front of a car, yelling angrily while leaning against the door. Inside the car, a girl with long purple hair glanced at him, then silently put on her headphones, a smile playing on her lips, as if she had thought of something interesting.

"Here you are~ You seem very angry?"

"Where have you been?!"

"Of course it's makeup~ That's why you're nowhere near as good as Bai Yu~ What a boring man~"

The white-haired man looked at the beautiful girl with medium-length black hair, a great figure, and a pretty face who was walking towards him. He had just asked her a question when she was immediately shut down. By the time he came to his senses, the girl had already moved closer to the girl with long purple hair from before.

The white-haired man took a deep breath and got into the car, which sped towards Bai Yu's shop. At the same time, a lazy-looking man who had just come out of the bathroom glanced at his watch, changed into a suit, and walked out.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Wu Garuda, Wu Fengshui, Wu Lei'an (Please add to your favorites!!!!!!!!!)

"Master, master, master! This is so delicious! This thing called spare ribs is different from any bones I've ever eaten before!"

Cerberus called out to Bai Yu while eating ribs, her tail wagging back and forth, showing that she was enjoying her meal very much.

The situation outside Totsuki Academy was somewhat awkward, as Erina, holding a small flask of osmanthus wine she had bought from Shiraha, stood at the school gate with Hisako, facing off against Kobayashi Rindou and Akanekubo Momo.

As the second seat of the Elite Ten, Kobayashi Rindou possessed an exceptionally keen sense of smell. He immediately detected the familiar scent and then noticed the small sake bottle in Erina's hand. She recognized the style of that sake bottle all too well, and Akanekubo Momo also recognized it.

Kobayashi Rindou tilted his head and asked, "Eh? Erina, where are you going?"

Erina's eye twitched slightly as she said, "I'm going to have a meal..."

"Huh? Shiraha's place? Erina, you've been to Shiraha's shop?"

Erina was startled, then looked at Kobayashi Rindou's amused gaze and finally nodded, saying, "Manager Shiraha's cooking is flawless. I plan to study it more during this time."

Kobayashi Rindou and Akane Kubo Momo both nodded. Everyone knows that Erina is arrogant, but she is also a very hardworking person who loves to study. Behind every genius is not only talent but also hard work.

Erina's open and honest admission made the two of them very accepting, as if they were meeting her for the first time. Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and said, "Perfect! No need to look for a car anymore, Erina! Let's hitch a ride together!"

Erina paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sure...Are you guys going to eat at Manager Shiraha's place too, Kobayashi-senpai?"

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled, while Akanekubo Momo rolled her eyes and said, "Eri-nii, let me tell you, Rindou is a woman completely obsessed with love. She went to see Manager Shiraha, but I went to have dinner."

Erina nodded. Just then, the car arrived. After the four of them got in, Erina said softly, "Manager Shiraha is a very skilled chef, and the restaurant is very clean."

"Yeah, yeah~ Bai Yu seems like a very casual person, but he actually pays a lot of attention to his quality of life, and he's even a bit of a germaphobe~"

Erina nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said, "So you're not the only one living there, Kobayashi-senpai~ Are you related to Manager Shiraha?"

Kobayashi Rindou was taken aback, then instinctively sensed something was wrong and shouted, "Is that the black-haired woman who keeps getting orders, the one who looks like everyone owes her money?"

"no..."

"Is that the woman with purplish-black hair, wearing very stylish clothes?"

"no..."

"That's a woman with medium-length black hair, who speaks in a low voice, and looks really cute?!"

"no..."

"That is..."

Momoko Akane, Hisako, and Erina listened blankly as Rindou Kobayashi described things for a full ten minutes, without repeating a single detail. The three girls were completely dumbfounded.

Akane Kubo Momo patted Kobayashi Rindou on the shoulder and said, "Rindou, so you have so many rivals... Good luck! Momo's rooting for you! Stay on as the main wife..."

Kobayashi Rindou took a deep breath and shouted, "Hmph! What rivals! They're all losers! As long as I live, they'll always be concubines!"

Erina couldn't help but laugh, and then Hisako and Momo Akanekubo laughed as well. Rindou Kobayashi angrily pulled an orange out of his pocket, looking like he was about to fight Shiraha to the death.

Just as Erina and her group were rapidly approaching, the man and two women from before also arrived at the entrance of the alley. As soon as they got out of the car, the girl with long purple-black hair looked excited, while the girl with medium-length black hair next to her also looked expectant. The white-haired man, on the other hand, twisted his neck.

"I..."

"hurry up!"

The girl with long, purplish-black hair grabbed another girl and rushed into the alley. The white-haired man's eyes twitched, and he slowly followed.

"host...."

boom!

The door was suddenly pulled open, startling Lucifer and Cerberus. Turning around, they saw a girl with purplish-black hair standing next to a smiling girl with medium-length hair.

Upon seeing the girl with the long, purplish-black hair, Bai Yu immediately let go of the girl beside her and ran over like the wind, pouncing on Bai Yu without paying any attention to Lucifer, whose eye twitched, and the dog with its fur standing on end.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Long time no see, Garuda~"

"Mmm! Long time no see, Bai Yu!"

Bai Yu set Garuda aside and then whispered to the girl beside him with a resentful look, "You too, long time no see~ Feng Shui~"

"Hmph~ No sincerity~"

Bai Yu simply smiled and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

Garuda shouted directly, "Bai Yu, you do it! We all love what you make! Right, Feng Shui!"

Feng Shui nodded, then sat down to the side and pulled Garuda over. He then stared at Lucifer and Bai Yu for a long time before saying softly, "These two look unfamiliar. Bai Yu, are you new guests?"

Cerberus immediately stood up and shouted, "Cerberus is not a guest! Bai Yu is Cerberus's master!"

Everyone was stunned by these words. After a long while, Feng Shui chuckled, then leaned on the table in a very embarrassing pose and said, "Bai Yu~ So you like this kind of thing~ I can too~ As long as you say the word~"

Bai Yu walked over and tapped her on the head, saying, "You and Long Dan are the same, both of you are cowards who talk the talk but walk the walk. They live here too, they're my... family? Aren't you going to order one for him?"

"Him? As long as he doesn't starve to death, that's fine with him."

Lucifer and Cerberus were both taken aback when they heard "My family," but their initial anxiety gradually subsided, and they felt a warm glow in their hearts.

boom!

The door was pulled open again, and a burly, white-haired man appeared in the doorway, shouting, "What do you mean, 'as long as I don't starve to death'?! I'm the one who brought you two out here!"

The man's voice was loud, making Lucifer raise an eyebrow. Bai Yu sighed and said, "Lei An, you'd better be quiet. This isn't a competition arena."

"cut...."

"Hahaha~ Lei An is so lame! He got taught a lesson by Bai Yu again~"

Garuda found it very amusing to see Lei'an acting like an obedient child. Although she was his sister, their relationship was just so-so. If it weren't for their good relationship with Bai Yu, they probably wouldn't even exchange a few words.

Lei An yelled, but before he could utter a single word, he was sent flying at incredible speed. Just then, the door opened again, and Kobayashi Rindou and the other three walked in. Kobayashi Rindou shouted, "Bai Yu! Where did you hide that thief?! I'm going to restore my dignity... It's him again?!"

As soon as Kobayashi Rindou and the others opened the door, they saw a man fly out. They quickly pulled the three bewildered people aside and then saw the man crash into the opposite wall with an unscientific sound before stopping.

Lucifer's lips twitched as he said, "Is this why you were practicing finding angles and positions this afternoon?"

At this moment, the strange methods of hitting people increased...

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Dedication to Love (Please add to your favorites!!!)

Erina, Hisako, and Momo Akane looked at Raian flying out with horror. Could the person who made that sound really still be alive?

But the next moment they saw Raian stand up without any problem, dust himself off, and go back inside. Kobayashi Rindou looked at the three terrified people, sighed, and called out, "Raian! The seventeenth time!"

"Shut up!"

Kobayashi Rindou smiled, then pulled the three of them inside. As soon as they entered, they saw Garuda and Fengshui, who were both grinning with their hands on their hands. Kobayashi Rindou's face lit up and he ran over to them, saying, "Garuda~ Fengshui! Long time no see!"

"Gentian! Long time no see!"

"Long time no see~ Longdan, have you been enjoying your time alone with Shiraha lately~"

"Of course~ No... shouldn't it be that he's happy? Ah! Bai Yu, you hit my head again, you'll make me stupid~"

Bai Yu looked at the three seriously out-of-place girls with annoyance, not knowing what to say. All his words finally turned into a sigh. He pulled Kobayashi Rindou to her usual seat and rubbed his temples.

Lei An sat alone at a table and laughed, saying, "Hahaha! You bastard, you finally know the consequences of messing with too many women! Hahahaha!"

Bai Yu rolled her eyes and said, "What do you want to eat? If you don't tell me, I'll make you rice mixed with deep-sea fish oil~"

Everyone, including Lei An, shuddered upon hearing this. Clearly, it sounded terrifying. Lei An suppressed his smile, thought for a moment, and said, "Brazilian barbecue, boiled fish, steak salad, charcoal-grilled diaphragm, and six bowls of rice!"

After she finished speaking, Erina and the other two, along with Lucifer and Cerberus, were all stunned. They thought, "Wow, she can eat so much!" Kobayashi Rindou and the other two, on the other hand, had normal expressions on their faces.

Erina whispered, "Kobayashi-senpai, don't you find it strange?"

Kobayashi Rindou was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You mean his appetite? It's normal. He's actually quite normal. He's probably just upset about being kicked out by Shiraha."

Erina and the others were stunned for a moment, then looked at Rai'an's muscular physique and trembled. It was a bit too terrifying, and the fact that his eyes were black pupils with white irises made it even more frightening. Looking at it this way, Bai Yu really did look more and more handsome.

Kobayashi Rindou suddenly seemed to remember something and abruptly stood up, saying, "Shiraha! Explain yourself! Who are those two?! Do they live here?!"

Bai Yu rolled her eyes and said, "Hmm~"

"Bai Yu! You big jerk! I..."

"Do you want spicy food today?"

"Yes! Don't interrupt me! I'm angry! I..."

Do you want more oranges?

"Yes! You did it on purpose! Don't interrupt me, I'm telling you I..."

"Hmm~ Miss Nakiri, do the three of you want anything to eat?"

"Ah!!! Bai Yu! You're bullying me again!"

Garuda and Feng Shui were laughing exceptionally happily. Lucifer and Cerberus could tell that they were jealous, but not in a very serious way; it was more like they were being coquettish.

"Okay~ Is that all? Please wait a moment~ Gentian, I bought you something and put it in your room~"

After saying that, Bai Yu went into the kitchen. Kobayashi Rindou snorted and then sat down pathetically, crossing his arms and saying, "Hmph~ Don't think you can please me like that! Naive! You big jerk! You're making me so angry!"

Although Kobayashi Rindou sounded angry, her expression was actually quite happy. After a long while, Kobayashi Rindou asked Lucifer and the others, "Who are you?"

Lucifer stopped Cerberus from speaking and said, "Lucifer, this is Cerberus. He lives here now. In Bai Yu's words, he's family."

Cerberus was startled. She seemed to smell a sour and gunpowder-like odor. She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she had a feeling that Lucifer had awakened something extraordinary. (Not so fast~)

Erina glanced at Kobayashi Rindou. She had never seen Kobayashi Rindou like this before. Upon hearing the word "family," Kobayashi Rindou calmed down and nodded, saying, "Kobayashi Rindou, Shiraha is the first person I know!"

Lucifer was taken aback and nodded without saying anything more, because Kobayashi Rindou, who was usually the most jealous, had suddenly become friendly. Garuda and the other two on the other side also smiled at each other without saying anything.

Momoko Akane whispered, "Gentian Cotton, you seem to have suddenly stopped being angry?"

What level of power do Lucifer and Cerberus possess? They could hear a hair falling in the market if they wanted to. When they heard Momoko Akane's question, they both listened quietly, equally curious.

Kobayashi Rindou played with the orange in his hand, a slight smile on his face, and said, "There are so many girls who like Shiraha. Although there are no rules, everyone wants to be the first to conquer Shiraha because that would make her the so-called 'official'!"

The three were taken aback. Lucifer and Gouzi nodded, while Kobayashi Rindou continued, "Bai Yu isn't a vegetarian; he eats meat! Plus, there are no restrictions, so he won't refuse. Therefore, we can accept healthy competition from any girl Bai Yu acknowledges, but we absolutely will not accept a woman who stalks and cheats him!"

The three nodded, understanding dawning on them. Lucifer and Cerberus exchanged a glance but said nothing. So, only those acknowledged by Bai Yu wouldn't be rejected? Lucifer seemed to have grasped a little what it meant to sacrifice—to sacrifice for love…

Hisako pursed her lips and said, "So, does that mean Kobayashi-senpai is sacrificing for love?"

"Of course! That's why I'm in a hurry to graduate~ It's driving me crazy~ But this healthy competition is good, it's not like we're fighting for the only spot~ It's all about competing for the position of the big sister~ So everyone gets along really well in private~" (Note: I never said the shop had only been open for a few days, you'll know when you see the chapter about Kobayashi Rindou~ It's been more than three years)

"What bad things have you said about me this time, you little brat?"

Just as Kobayashi Rindou was speaking, he heard a gentle voice. Looking up, he saw Bai Yu pushing a food cart full of drinks out.

After serving Erina and the others their drinks, Kobayashi Rindou kept staring at him. Byakuya smiled and then reached out his hand. Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and familiarly took the orange, then tossed his own orange to Byakuya before sending him off to Garuda.

Erina looked at the two oranges in Kobayashi Rindou's hand, and for some reason, she felt a little envious of the smile on Kobayashi Rindou's face. She didn't know what kind of feeling it was, but it just felt strange~ (It wasn't love at the moment).

"Huh?! Shirayu! How did you know I wanted to eat strawberries?!"
