People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"Um...she's linked the whole world, so our time is synchronized...although I don't feel any time difference..."

Everyone looked at Bai Yu, who simply nodded and said, "Then let's synchronize..."

Nangong Nayue and the others looked at Bai Yu and then at the door. Finally, the special effect they had been waiting for appeared. A clock face appeared on the door, the hands clicked once, and then disappeared again. This time, even Lucifer and the others covered their faces, looking like they couldn't bear to watch.

"Don't tell me... it's over just like that?!"

"That's right!"

Nangong Nayue felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. "Was it really that casual?!" she thought. Tsukijima Rin, on the other hand, seemed to have suddenly realized something and said blankly, "No...it can't be because the world is linked, so the time difference is just a matter of adjusting a clock, right...?"

“Tsukishima? How could that be…”

"Ah, congratulations, you've successfully adjusted your thinking."

"what?"

Nangong Nayue stared wide-eyed, looking utterly incredulous. What was this? Was her comprehension too low?! But if she could, she would rather die than prove it this way!

Lan Yuqian rested her chin on her hand and said, "Chairman Nangong, you can think of it this way: if even something as amazing as this is so simple, doesn't that just prove how amazing it is?"

"Um... although I still have a bit of a headache, it's surprisingly much easier to bear..."

Just as everyone was pondering, the shop door lit up briefly, and the next moment, Tokisaki Kurumi, with a dirty face, and Gasai Yuno, with a strange expression, walked in.

Lucifer tilted his head and asked, "Have you finished your business?"

Yuno Gasai nodded and said, "Yes, it's done, but... is it more complicated than I imagined? Simple? Hmm... something's off."

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"Well... to put it simply, she was in a state of misunderstanding but not completely misunderstanding, unable to win but suddenly not wanting to fight anymore, and after trying to resolve this matter for a long time, she learned about other things instead."

Everyone looked puzzled. Why had things suddenly become so complicated? Kotori Itsuka pursed her lips and said, "So, what have you changed?"

Kurumi Tokisaki paused for a moment before letting out a sigh of relief and saying, "What changed... Heh... What changed? Interesting... Interesting..."

"What on earth did you do?"

Kurumi Tokisaki said with a strange look in her eyes, "What did she do... or rather, what did she talk about, what did she learn? So, she didn't have any uncomfortable reaction?"

"Huh? Who?"

“你姐姐。”

"Huh?! What did you guys do?! What does this have to do with Shiori?!"

Yuno Gasai shook her head and said, "Don't worry, we didn't do anything. We went back to thirty years ago and learned the truth of the matter. Originally, I didn't plan to get involved, but it seems that things are not quite what I thought, so I lived there with Kurumi for a while."

"A period of time? You didn't fight thirty years ago, but instead lived together for a period of time?!"

Yuno Gasai nodded and said, "That's right. We understand what a spirit is, what the original spirit is, and why it caused what happened later. It's just unexpected."

"So, what is your relationship with Shiori?"

Kurumi Tokisaki pursed her lips and said, "You'll find out about this within a month at the latest after you get back, but you might be quite surprised."

"Hey, it's infuriating that you guys are keeping us in suspense like this!"

Yuno Gasai shook her head and said, "It's not about keeping you in suspense, but simply because I've experienced so much during this time, and I also managed to help Kurumi resolve her inner conflict a little, but unfortunately, only for a moment."

"How long exactly is this 'time period' you're referring to...?"

"Three years!" x2

"Huh?!" xn

Yuuko Ichihara said blankly, "Yuno, you mean, you and Ms. Tokisaki went back to thirty years ago, met the original spirit, but didn't fight, and instead lived there for three years?!"

"Yes, rather than saying we lived there for three years, it's more accurate to say that the 300 of us spent three years with that primordial spirit..."

"But...but wasn't Tokisaki-san going to kill her?"

"So the complicated part is that after knowing what happened, Kurumi chose the method with the least impact on the future. That's why she is still a time spirit and Itsuka Ori will still appear."

Yuno Gasai turned to look at Kurumi Tokisaki and said, "So, I've helped you resolve your inner conflict. The matter from thirty years ago has been resolved in the best way possible. As agreed, you must reconcile with the past and stop dwelling on past hatred."

"However, by now, you should have already worn away all your hatred..."

Kurumi Tokisaki tilted her head back, let out a sigh of relief, and then turned to say, "If I never get close to her, can she live a peaceful life?"

"You may get sick, or there may be accidents, but it's all within the normal range."

"Okay... I promise you."

P.S.: Of course I won't skip over how things changed thirty years ago, but let someone else talk about it, and as for who it is... I've already written it down~

Chapter 475 Kurumi Tokisaki's Reflections: You Are Destiny (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Kotori Itsuka was completely unsettled because she was too curious about what Kurumi Tokisaki and Yuno Watsuki had done thirty years ago, since it had affected Shiori Itsuka!

Yuno Gasai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, what are you planning to do next? If you go back, that guy will probably go crazy."

Kurumi Tokisaki pursed her lips and said, "I've accomplished what I wanted to achieve, so there's no need for me to appear in the human world so often. Taking a trip is a good option..."

"But, the same question remains: if that guy sees you, he'll go crazy, won't he?"

Kurumi Tokisaki sighed and didn't say anything. The thought of what happened in the end gave her a headache. She was living a good life when suddenly an accident happened. According to the original trajectory, it was because of this incident that the collapse occurred later.

This time, although the trajectory remained unchanged, it was still a bit of a headache, since blood was drawn and a battle broke out. In the end, Yuno Gasai had to personally intervene to bring her back and also send the original spirit back.

Kurumi Tokisaki said, supporting her forehead, "This is really a headache, but that man is indeed disgusting, and when you do something wrong, you have to pay the price."

"Indeed, but because of his identity, even though I was very dissatisfied, I couldn't eliminate him at that time. However, I did confiscate more than half of his time as punishment. The rest will have to wait until she comes back."

"However, I never expected things to turn out this way... Looking at it this way, she really does resemble her..."

Yuno Gasai and Kurumi Tokisaki, each holding a drink and propping their faces up, stared at Shiori Itsuka, who was still in a daze. The two had lived together for three years and were quite familiar with each other. They had a strange feeling about Shiori.

Lucifer said irritably, "What are you two talking about? And you've become quite close."

Yuno Gasai nodded and said, "Yes, after all, we've been together for three years, and we've been through a lot during that time. But I've discovered something sad~".

"What?"

Yuno Gasai looked down at herself, then silently clenched her fist. Was there really no way for her divine body to regenerate?! Three years! Not a single sign of it!

Lucifer and the others immediately understood, and they all felt a little sympathy. Lucifer coughed lightly and said, "Um... Yuno, there's nothing wrong with your figure. Maybe it's just that your divine body is growing slowly? Or maybe you can change your form yourself?"

"Sigh... It's possible, but there's still a sense of accomplishment in growing naturally... Obviously, this is a sad story."

"Hey, Yuno, it's alright. But this girl really is the one who's been frozen for the longest time ever, bar none."

Everyone looked at the still-dazed Shiori with admiration. Kotori, feeling a bit embarrassed, grabbed Shiori's shoulders and shook her vigorously, shouting, "Shiori! Shiori! Start filming!"

"Huh? Oh... Huh?! Am I... Am I dreaming?!"

Everyone silently gave a thumbs up. Goodness, it has to be you. Tokisaki Kurumi and Watsuki Yuno exchanged a glance and chuckled.

Kotori Itsuka and Shiori Itsuka quickly explained what had happened, and after confirming that it wasn't a dream, Shiori Itsuka simply covered her face and said, "My head hurts so much, my worldview is about to explode."

"Shiori! Actually, it's not that hard to accept..."

"No, I had already accepted these facts, but Kotori, you suddenly told me that you had actually joined some strange organization and even rose to the position of commander. I can't accept it for a while."

"Why is it that your computer crashes, but my heart is hurting so much...?"

Lucifer and the others almost couldn't hold back their laughter. Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Looks like we can order now. So, Miss Itsuka, what would you like to eat?"

It was only at this moment that Shiori Itsuka truly noticed Shiraha. Considering Shiraha's identity, appearance, and demeanor, Shiori Itsuka became somewhat reserved.

Kotori Itsuka sighed and said, "Shiori, don't be nervous. Manager Shiraha isn't a bad person. What would you like to eat? But, Manager Shiraha, don't you have a menu?"

"You can order anything you want to eat, as long as it's an ingredient that's available in the store, we can prepare it."

"Eh?! That's amazing! But now I don't know what to eat... Manager Shiraha, Shiori seems a bit too nervous. Could you choose three dishes for us? We don't need soup, I don't really want anything too spicy..."

"Okay, what would you like to drink?"

"Juice is fine, right? What juice? Manager Bai Yu, please have that too. And two bowls of rice!"

"Okay, please wait a moment. But you don't need to worry about anything. Your world probably won't change much. Yuno won't cause any major changes to your world. However, you might have a slight headache, after all, your status is still quite high."

Kotori Itsuka paused for a moment before letting out a sigh of relief and saying, "Manager Yu, don't worry, I'm not particularly worried about those things. I'm only concerned about whether Shiori will get into trouble... But judging from the way they look at Shiori, she doesn't seem to be in any danger."

Kurumi Tokisaki sighed and said, "She's not just safe, she's practically... blessed by destiny? Yuno, is there any problem with saying that?"

Yuno Gasai thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... so it really doesn't seem like a problem. Besides, Shiori-san should receive some gifts in a while."

"Huh? Me? Destiny? Gift?"

Kurumi Tokisaki, propping her chin on her hand, said, "Oh my, it really does look like him, Mr. Shiraha!"

"Hmm? Would you like some sugar?"

Kurumi Tokisaki paused for a moment, her beautiful eyes widening slightly in disbelief, and said, "How did you know what I was going to say? Mr. Shiraha is really scary."

"At this point, what else would you call me to order besides the same thing as before?"

Kurumi Tokisaki sighed and smiled helplessly, saying, "In that case, I really need to reconsider my previous plans..."

"Hmm? It's not long since nightfall. There's plenty of time to think about things after we've had a proper refreshment..." (Male)

"Eh?"

Bai Yu smiled and pointed to his face, then turned and left. Tokisaki Kurumi came to her senses and glanced at Gasai Yuno. Gasai Yuno had only taken a picture and shown it to Tokisaki Kurumi.

Looking at her own dirty face in the photo, Kurumi Tokisaki paused for a couple of seconds before chuckling softly and glancing towards the kitchen with a hint of helplessness, saying, "What a cheating man... Looks like I'll have to use the bathroom for a bit..."

Chapter 476 Tokisaki Kurumi's Temporary Stay, Tokisaki Kurumi's Decision (Please Subscribe~)

Shiraha prepared the dishes for Kotori and Shiori Itsuka very quickly. There was no need to make soup, as he didn't really want to eat anything too spicy, taking into account Kotori's personality.

The last dishes that Shiraha prepared for Kotori Itsuka and the others were cherry pork, braised lion's head meatballs, and three-cup chicken, which were popular with most of the female customers in the restaurant. To cut through the richness, a side of cold salad was also served.

Kotori Itsuka and Shiori Itsuka swallowed hard when they saw the delicious-looking dishes on the table. Shiori Itsuka can cook and her skills are quite good, but she was still pleasantly surprised when she tasted the dishes in front of her.

Watching the two sisters devour their food, Yuno Gasai simply sipped her juice and watched silently, her eyes calm and expressionless, but only she herself knew what emotions were hidden within them.

Just then, the store door opened, and instead of a new customer, it was Tokisaki Kurumi who had gone to the restroom to wash her face. Tokisaki Kurumi had somehow ended up outside the store.

Yuno Gasai casually propped her chin on her hand and said, "Are you sure?"

Kurumi Tokisaki breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her seat. Looking at the hot cocoa on the table, the same one she had on the day she arrived, her expression was somewhat complicated. The same latte art, the same warm aroma and temperature, but this time Kurumi Tokisaki felt a genuine sense of relaxation.

Kurumi Tokisaki picked up the coffee spoon and slowly placed it on the rightmost side of the cup, murmuring softly, "Draw a line down the rightmost side of the cup, then straight up, and finally draw a five-pointed star..."

Yuno Gasai tilted her head, looking at Kurumi Tokisaki with some confusion as she muttered an unknown "spell," without saying a word. Lucifer, on the other hand, was playing on his phone while quietly watching them. This was the little spell that Shiraha had used to trick Kurumi Tokisaki into mixing the latte art she couldn't bear to destroy.

Taking a small sip and exhaling a breath of warm air, Kurumi Tokisaki sighed and said, "As expected, it's best to drink it warm..."

Bai Yu chuckled softly, "It seems that in these past three years, you've not only let go of some things, but you've also gained a better understanding of time and how to cherish it..."

Kurumi Tokisaki chuckled and said in a light tone while holding her hot cocoa, "Hmm, Mr. Shiraha really does attract girls quite easily."

As she spoke, Kurumi Tokisaki stood up, slightly lifting the hem of her skirt, and said softly with a faint smile, "Kurumi Tokisaki is an elf..."

"Well, although I roughly know what you're thinking, it shouldn't be a problem to say it. Bai Yu is the manager of a restaurant."

"Pfft... Mr. Shiraha, it's dangerous to understand a girl's thoughts so well, Yuno, it should be fine, right?"

Yuno Gasai shook her head and said, "On the contrary, it's the right thing for you to do. After all, even if you go back, you can only stay in the border area. It's better to be free."

"Oh dear, I really don't know whether I should breathe a sigh of relief or not..."

Yuko Ichihara tilted her head and said, "So, what kind of riddle are you two playing?"

Yuno Gasai sighed and said, "Because the two of us participated in a battle thirty years ago, but because we didn't want the future of the world to collapse, we didn't kill him thirty years ago. But that must have angered that person."

"If Kurumi goes back, she can only hide at the edge. Otherwise, that person will go to any lengths to capture Kurumi like a madman. After all, his plan has failed and I have taken away more than half of his time. That person will definitely not be willing to accept it."

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "So?"

"So, Kurumi and I discussed it before, and it would be best if she didn't go back there normally. When things return to normal, and the Origin Spirit reappears thirty years later, which is now in that world, that will be the beginning and the end of this time."

"By then, Kurumi won't have to hide anymore. But before that, since Kurumi has already done what she wanted to do, and there's nothing left for her to do over there, I suggest she can wander around here."

Lucifer paused for a moment and said, "So, you want to move in?"

"Well... that's not quite the right way to put it. I'd rather just wander around here for a bit. I won't be staying here all the time, but I'm not familiar with this place, so I'm hoping to stay here for a while."
