People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"You could say that. I am planning to switch jobs. I've discussed this with Yuriko and the others, and everyone has their own thoughts on it. You should focus on your own affairs and prepare for the wedding. Leave the rest to us."

"Oh...by the way, Auntie, since you're planning to change jobs, will you have more time to come over often in the future?!"

Akane Yoru chuckled and said, "While that's true, if I came all the time, not to mention whether you would feel pressured, just the fact that I came all the time would make those who couldn't come extremely envious."

"I won't feel pressured at all! Auntie is so nice!"

"I know your feelings are enough. If you miss me, you are welcome to come to our home. Although we haven't registered our marriage or gotten married yet, in our eyes you are our children, and our home is your home too. You can come anytime you want."

"Hmm!" xn

Lucifer was about to say something when he heard footsteps. He turned around and saw Kasumigaoka Utaha walk in. Just as Lucifer and the others were about to greet her, Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around and said, "Didn't you say you were coming? Why didn't you come in?"

"what?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, not knowing what she saw, was about to close the door and run away, but was pushed back in the next moment. A black-haired woman who looked somewhat like Kasumigaoka Utaha also walked in.

"Um... this is my mom, this is Manager Bai Yu, and this is Sister Lucy and the others..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's mother blinked before smiling and saying, "Thank you, Manager Shiraha, for your help to Utaha before, and for taking care of the child all the time."

Bai Yu paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "It's nothing. Shi Yu was just in a state of confusion. In fact, she has the talent and strength to back it up."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed and said, "But I still want to thank you, Manager Shiraha. I almost gave up back then."

Yonomori Benio said with a smile, "Oh my, Kasumigaoka-kun, it's been a long time."

"Eh? President? You guys are here too..."

"Yes, I didn't expect to see you again after so long, at the shop. Hello, Auntie, I'm Yonomori Benio."

"Oh! You're the former student council president of Shuchiin, whom even Shiyu admires. You seem to be a very lively child."

Yonomori Benio said with a smile, "I'm definitely not a quiet and introverted person, Utaha. Your book is very popular in my family. I never thought I would see your book when I was at Shuchiin."

Kasumigaoka Utaha paused for a moment and said, "Eh? Guild Master, you've seen it too?"

"Of course! Xiaohong really likes it. I'm open to all romance novels too. Let me know when you're writing a new book, and I'll definitely support you."

Lucifer sighed and said, "Is that why you named the group 'Love Expert'?"

"Pretty much. At that time, my husband and I had just started dating. I try my best to do everything well, but I had never been in a relationship before. In just one month, I read through all kinds of dating magazines, novels, and essays in the library and bookstores. I also watched a lot of variety shows and movies on this topic."

"So, I'm really good at template data, okay!"

"So? What have you done?"

"Um...so it's template data, not real-world data..."

"Tch..." xn

Chapter 627 Kaguya Shinomiya Understands, and the Women Are Looking Forward (Please Subscribe~)

Lucifer and the others were very curious about Natsuno Kirihime. After all, they were demons, and they were very familiar with the Seven Deadly Sins. So they were very curious as to why Natsuno Kirihime would write such a series of books.

While Natsuno Kirihime was also very curious about Lucifer and the others, she also learned that Kasumigaoka Utaha had written her own book, and she was particularly interested in Kasumigaoka Utaha as well.

"Hmm? So, that 'Love Metronome' book is your work?"

"Yep."

Natsuno Kirihime nodded and said, "There were indeed many problems at the beginning, but there has been clear progress since then. How did you improve so much in such a short time?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed and said, "There's nothing I can't say... Back then, I had very high expectations. I thought I was amazing, that I could do anything well, so I planned to write a book, but... ha..."

"This incident was a big blow to me. I was planning to give up, but by chance, I came to this store. Store manager Bai Yu was reading my book on her phone. Ah... Sister Lucy was there too. Neither of them knew that I wrote it, so their discussion was completely unintentional."

"However, it seems that even if they knew I wrote it, Sister Lucy and Mr. Bai Yu are not the kind of people who would hide it to save face. Although their comments were ruthless, they were also gentle, offering many suggestions and pointing out the good parts of the writing."

"I continued exploring in this direction, and as I wrote, I became more and more proficient, which eventually led to the opportunity to publish..."

Natsuno Kirihime blinked and looked at Lucifer, then asked, "If it were him, what would he say?"

Lucifer paused for a moment and said, "Husband? If I knew, my level of understanding would be very high, okay? Husband's way of thinking and doing things can't be reasoned with. You'll have to ask husband about that."

Yoru no Mori sighed and said, "Kiri-hime, you'd better not be curious, because we really don't know. After all, there's no fixed answer. If you ask other questions, you might get an answer."

"for example?"

"For example, my husband always says that his cooking skills are average, he can't teach students, and he's just an ordinary person."

Natsuno Kirihime's eyes twitched slightly; this modesty was truly hard to accept! Was this really not some legendary Versailles?! If your cooking is so-so, then does that mean she really can't cook at all?!

Kaguya Shinomiya was also hearing this for the first time. She blinked and said in surprise, "Eh?! What's so ordinary about it?!"

"Well, that's a recurring issue. Usually at this time, the sisters in the family will say the same thing in unison."

"what?"

Benio Yonomori glanced at Lucifer and the others, then tilted her head and said, "Say it together? One, two, three..."

"Stop persecuting the word 'ordinary'!"

Kaguya Shinomiya blinked blankly, her mouth agape, seemingly still in a daze. Sure enough! There's still so much for her to learn! What was she learning all those years ago? She definitely needs to be more proactive in cultivating her emotions!

Natsuno Kirihime couldn't help but chuckle. This family was really interesting. Kasumigaoka Utaha propped her chin on her hand and said, "That's true, but Shiraha-sensei always knows how to answer questions in a way that's not what people think."

Perona, holding Kumasi, shook her head and said, "Anyway, I'll never believe anything my husband says, especially not in this kind of situation!"

Night Forest Akane smiled and said, "Bai Yu has indeed experienced too much and seen too many people. He has lived too freely, so he has also lived a very insightful life. But that's why Bai Yu reacts differently when he encounters things compared to others."

Before Natsuno Kirihime could say anything more, she saw Shiraha pushing a food cart out. This was the food for Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others' table. Since there were only two people, there weren't many dishes.

A serving of cherry pork, a serving of sauerkraut fish, and a serving of cold beef salad—Kasumigaoka Utaha's mother's eyes lit up after just one bite. The taste of this dish could only be described as amazing.

Lucifer smacked his lips and said, "Pickled fish, ah, I really miss it. When we first came here, my husband made some for me and Cerberus, but we haven't had it since. I really miss it. Honey, let's have fish soup tomorrow morning..."

"Fish soup? Then let's just have the fish hot pot. You can also get a double portion."

"Fish hot pot?"

"Yeah... I'll also help you expand your comfort zone a bit while I'm at it."

Hearing this, everyone swallowed hard. Marina asked expectantly, "Since it's a fish hot pot, it must be fish. Fish shouldn't be too strange, right? Honey! What kind of fish?"

"That's true, but many people actually eat this fish, but very few people, including Erina and the others, have actually tried it..."

Erina swallowed hard and said, "Honey, what is this...? Maybe I've eaten it before?"

"catfish."

"Catfish?! I've never actually eaten this before... But when I think of catfish, I think of that legend."

Lucifer paused for a moment and said, "Legend?"

Yuko Ichihara waved her hand and said, "I know about that too. Legend has it that this world is controlled by a catfish. Every time this catfish flips over or moves, it causes an earthquake. It's called the earthquake catfish. But, is catfish tasty?"

"Catfish has very good meat quality and is very delicious. Xiao Hong, do you want to take a couple home with you tonight and try cooking them tomorrow?"

"Okay, but I've never processed 0.1 before, honey. Could you send me the ingredient list and recipe too?"

"Okay, right, I almost forgot something... Miss Natsuno, about the book I borrowed before..."

"I guess I haven't finished reading it yet. It doesn't matter. There's still a long time before I have to return the book. Besides, the environment here is nice, and I'm interested in the food, as well as Mrs. Lucifer and the others. I'll come here often in the future, so there's no rush."

"Thank you so much. Also, Auntie, this is for you. You'll really need it."

"this is..."

"You'll find out when you get back."

"All right..."

Chapter 628 Kasumigaoka Utaha's Love, the Fragile Utaha (Please Subscribe~)

Akane Yoru and the others didn't stay long and left soon after. However, during this time, they asked Natsuno Kirihime quite a few questions about her writing. Kasumigaoka Utaha listened quietly. After learning what kind of book Natsuno Kirihime was writing, she knew very well that Natsuno Kirihime was definitely a genius writer.

Looking at Natsuno Kirihime, Kasumigaoka Utaha had a strange feeling for some reason, a feeling that she was a failure, a feeling that she was being left on the edge of the stage.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's mother simply glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha silently. As a mother, she was certain that she could sense the changes in Kasumigaoka Utaha's state.

When Natsuno Kirihime and the others left, Lucifer and the others breathed a sigh of relief and continued chatting amongst themselves. Nakiri Managi and the others also went upstairs, either to work overtime or to attend a cocktail party.

"Shiyu, you....."

"Mom, what do you want to say?"

Before Kasumigaoka Utaha's mother could speak, Shiraha calmly said, "Madam, don't worry. Utaha almost gave up once, so she won't fall again. It's just that... she's acting unusually like a little girl today."

Kasumigaoka Utaha paused for a moment, her cheeks flushing slightly, and said, "Manager Shiraha... weren't you reading a book? How did you notice me...?"

"Huh? This is a restaurant."

"so?"

“I’m the manager of the restaurant, and of course I also work as a chef. You are a customer. I don’t know what you did or said before you walked in, and I can’t be bothered with that.”

“But once you walk through the door, I have a responsibility to my customers, including even the slightest change in my mood. And you, well, you're not a very complicated person.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed and said, "Manager Shiraha, what do you think..."

Bai Yu closed the book and said with a smile, "Shi Yu, you need to understand that if you ask this question, it means that your purpose in writing the book has completely changed, and your personality and original intentions have also changed."

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. Shiroha smiled and said, "You are you, you've never changed. You don't need to compare yourself to anyone or be better than anyone else, because there will always be someone in the world who is much better than you in some field. Being competitive is a good thing, but getting stuck on one thing is wrong."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed and smiled helplessly, saying, "As expected, Manager Shiraha, you always say the right thing when others need it most. I almost lost myself..."

“I’m not a superhero, I can’t take care of other people and things, but you’re my customer here, and that’s part of the service.”

"I don't think this should be considered a meal expense."

"If you want it calculated, I don't mind."

Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes and said with a hint of helplessness, "I really feel like you're pretty amazing, Shiraha-sensei, huh? Mom... what's with that expression?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's mother turned her head away and whispered, "Still denying it..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha paused for two seconds, then blushed and said, "Huh?! What are you thinking about?! Wouldn't it be better to learn from Aunt Yonomori?!"

"But Mom isn't nearsighted."

"I'm not asking you to learn to wear glasses!"

"There's no difference!"

"Where did you get the idea that they're no different?!"

"Various places! Pshaw... You're my son, how could I not know you?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately covered her face, looking completely dejected. Lucifer and the others nodded in agreement. Sure enough, experience counts. Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't get into a sharp tongue with her mother, which greatly reduced her fighting power.

Kasumigaoka Utaha eventually left after arguing with her mother. She was surprised to find that her mother had paid the bill and then tried to sneak away, intending to leave her alone. So she grabbed her bag and chased after her.

"Hey? Shiyu, you don't need to see your mother off."

"Send me your head! I'm going home too!"

"Huh?! Utaha! You're so useless..."

"Huh?! I've said it so many times! No! No way!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's mother looked up at the stars and whispered, "Utaha..."

"Huh? What are you going to say now?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's mother tilted her head and said, "Utaha, what Mommy said is right. You are my child, so I know you very well."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was slightly taken aback, and then she saw her mother touch her face and chuckle as she said, "Utaha, you've always done everything very well and worked very hard since you were little, so you're always very proud. But I know that you also yearn for many things in your heart."

“You’ve never had a close friend since you were a child, and you always complain about those guys. But you show a completely different side to Mrs. Lucifer and the others.”

"Before I knew it, you'd grown into a young lady... I can't help you much with your studies or interests. You've grown up, but you're still my daughter. I can see what you're thinking; you can't hide it from me... Even proud people have a vulnerable and insecure side."

"This side of you isn't hidden at all right now. You only said you had feelings for someone, but that gentle smile, those blushing cheeks, and that intimate conversation... Shiyu... I know what you're worried about, and I know what you're waiting for..."
