People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Lan Yuqian shrugged and said, "Hmm? Because I also have something to report. Chairman Nangong assigned tasks to me and Alan. I'll talk about it later."

"As expected, holding a meeting today was the right thing to do. But speaking of which, what are Lucy and the others doing? Why haven't they come out of the kitchen yet? Sakuya, why don't you go and take a look?"

"Okay, hey? They're out, Lucy. What did you guys do?"

As Lucifer untied his apron, he casually said, "There are a lot of people, so I prepared a little extra."

"So what have you all been doing?"

"Hmm... fried chicken, tea snacks, pizza, tempura, and the purple sweet potato balls my husband prepared beforehand, there's quite a lot, but I didn't expect him to be able to make pizza."

Yukari Yakumo paused for a moment and said, "Huh? Beelzebub, you made pizza? Really?"

"I'm really good at this, okay? Pizzas are no problem for me! I baked three, set the time, by the way, Gion and the others haven't come back yet?"

“Gion said she’s waiting for someone, so she can’t come over now. Oh, and she also said that Kalifa is right next to her, and that the list is out and they’ll talk about it at the meeting tonight.”

Eirin Yagokoro blinked and said, "Eh? If that's the case, it seems like this meeting is very important. Are Sora and the others going to participate too?"

"Ah, no need for that. Those girls can go about their business as usual. Besides, we need to keep Mai in check."

“That’s true, Akali. How’s it going on your end? Lan has been keeping an eye on the white fox you found.”

Akali shook her head and said, "I don't know the specifics, I only know that she seems to have completed some kind of evolution, an evolution at the level of life. I don't know anything else, but Soraka said that she should wake up soon."

Ran Yakumo put down her chopsticks and said somewhat seriously, "So, how many tails does it have?"

"Kujo."

"It really is a nine-tailed fox... So she should be going through the process of transforming from a fox into a human form right now. Akali, once she transforms into a human, you must bring her to the shop."

"That's not a problem, but why are you so adamant?"

Yakumo Ran sighed and said, "After the stage of transforming from a fox into a human is completed, she is like a newborn with wild instincts. Her worldview is vague, and many things are like that. Therefore, we cannot let her go astray. We must teach her how to control her power, otherwise it will be very dangerous."

"I see... But, will it go berserk?"

Yakumo Ran thought for a moment and said, "That's possible, but it depends on what type of nine-tailed fox she is. Some nine-tailed foxes improve and replenish their energy by absorbing various essences and spirits, while others just cultivate normally."

"The latter type, when power goes berserk, brings destruction, while the former type, having tasted the deliciousness of power and lacking a complete understanding, might lose control and turn many people directly into dried corpses."

“I see…that does seem necessary. Alright, if she can really turn into human form, I’ll bring her here immediately. If Soraka and I have already left by then, then Lady Karma will bring her here.”

"Okay, I'm full. How about you?"

"That's about it. We're more interested in the meeting right now. Hey? Yamato, have you guys finished eating too?"

"Mmm! It's really delicious!"

Maria wiped her mouth and said, "Indeed, it's much more delicious than I imagined. This is probably the most delicious meal I've ever had. And the purple sweet potato balls and pumpkin cakes are really to my liking. Thank you for the treat."

Yukari Yakumo, propping her chin on her hand, said, "Huh? Just like they look, they're all reliable people. So, does that mean everyone's here? Reimu, are you all full?"

"I'm full, but are you sure Marisa and I should come too?"

"Of course, you're asking this because you don't want to tell me something, are you?"

Reimu's eye twitched, and she said, "H-How could this be! I'm a shrine maiden! A pure and noble shrine maiden! How could I possibly lie!"

"Pure and noble?!"

"Something's wrong?! Dream Seal Warning!"

Everyone rolled their eyes. This wasn't the time for you to say things like you wanted to be taken care of by Bai Yu. Lucifer nodded and said, "Okay, that'll do for now. Beelzebub, is the pizza ready?"

"Alright, alright, Zi, come here, put it in the gap first."

"Sigh... why is our gap room being used for more and more strange things... should we get some more drinks?"

"Everything is ready, just come on over. Yuko, you guys go upstairs first."

"Okay! Honey, we're going upstairs for a meeting. If any familiar guests come over, remember to call us. Yamato, you three come with me."

"Oh...Maria, let's go."

Maria sighed and said, "I don't know why, but I have this feeling that I might never forget tonight for the next few decades."

Runti put on her mask and asked with a puzzled look, "Maria, what do you mean?"

"Sigh... Let's go..."

"Wow! Beelzebub, I didn't realize you could make such a good pizza! When did you learn?"

"I'm pretty amazing, okay! During those years I was locked up, I always had to find some fun when I was bored. Is everyone here? Hmm? Where's Mikoto?"

"Here I am, here I am. Excuse me, everyone, I was just blow-drying my hair."

Tsunade beckoned and said, "Mikoto, come sit here. That means everyone's here. Lucy, you can cast the screen to call Kirari and the others online."

"OK!"

Lucifer used magic to create a projection screen, and Kirari and the others logged on one after another. Kirari hugged her pillow and said with a puzzled look, "Huh? Akali, you guys have all come over. Yuuko, what do you want to say?"

Yuko Ichihara breathed a sigh of relief and said, "First of all, let me introduce you... Ah, Gion, you're online! How's things going on your end?"

Kalifa had already gone to rest, while Gion and the other three huddled together. Gion breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Everything is going as expected, and I also received the first batch of names today."

Perona, holding Kumasi, asked with a puzzled look, "The first batch? Gion-nee, why the first batch?"

Chifuyu Orimura sat on the bed with her arms crossed, a mocking look on her face, and said, "If this batch turns out well, they will definitely work even harder to find women and send them over. That's why it's called the first batch. Gion, do you have a way to deal with this?"

"Don't worry, I have all the initiative. I can handle it. But I feel that the list I'm talking about today might not be as sensational as what the others are talking about."

Yuko Ichihara nodded and said, "It seems that's true. But before that, let me introduce you. This is Yamato, and these two are Black Maria and Junti, whom she brought with her."

Both of them greeted each other politely, but they were still in a daze. This room was a bit too luxurious, but that wasn't the key point. The key point was that there were so many beautiful women? Moreover, they sensed an incredibly terrifying aura emanating from many of them, the aura of absolute powerhouses.

Shinonono Tsukasa, holding a cup of coffee, said, "Hey, hey, hey! Yuuko! Let's get started! I also have something to report!"

"Alright... Before we go, let me ask how many people have reports to give today. Let me count first, who else is there?"

The women exchanged glances, and some silently raised their hands. Yuuko Ichihara glanced around, nodded, and said, "Hmm... Tsukasa, Gion, Robin, Vermouth, Asagi, Akali, Aoandon, and Murasaki, you choose a representative, and Maria too..."

"Huh?" xn

Everyone looked at Black Maria. Ichihara Yuuko breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's begin the meeting. To start this meeting, I must say something."

"Hmm?"

"As you all probably already know, Kusuo, who will be coming over in the next few days and will most likely be connecting to another world, is only five worlds away from the final shop upgrade. But don't you find that strange?"

Kirari tilted her head and said, "Strange? What do you mean?"

Yuuko Ichihara said in a deep voice, "Think about it. I, Yuno, Albedo, none of us have connected to the world, but at this stage, haven't you noticed? Many people have stopped coming."

"Huh? It seems that's true! Yeah! Hermione, Ash and the others haven't been here in ages, and Lucy, the Dawn you mentioned before..."

Yuko Ichihara nodded and said, "I don't think this is simple. A while ago, Athena left a message saying that she would try to bring a god-slayer over, but there has been no news since. Don't you think it's like these last five worlds are waiting for some kind of opportunity?"

“Hiss.…”xn

Fiona said somewhat seriously, "It does look strange from this perspective, so, Yuuko, what are you thinking?"

Yuko Ichihara thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I sensed that the bespectacled guy was reviving a while ago, and just a few days ago, I suddenly had a sign that he was about to come back."

"Huh?!" xn

Marina scratched her head and said, "If I remember correctly, isn't that Clow Reed and that Natsume friends? It seems like Natsume hasn't been here for a long time."

"Yes, just like the Golden Age. I feel that this store is the last upgrade, and so many people didn't come. Now, big things are happening or are happening in everyone's world. I'm thinking that maybe, at that time, many worlds will start their own world's affairs at the same time."

Jinx, sitting cross-legged and eating pizza, mumbled, "Hmm... Mirajane hasn't been here in a while. She's from some guild, I wonder if she'll be coming soon..."

"That's possible. After all, when I looked at the memories before, they said there was magic over there too, right? Maybe."

"Hmm... then there must be some trouble. Why isn't Mirajane here? Could we just adjust the time in the world that's not connected? My husband even asked about it."

"Huh? There's such a thing? How come I've never heard you mention it before?"

"I went downstairs to heat up some milk when I got up earlier. My husband was making breakfast, so I asked him about it. I didn't think it was okay, but after he asked, it turned out it was."

"Huh?!" xn

"Yes, that's possible, but there are five conditions to meet."

Lucifer and the others' eyes lit up as they asked, "What are the conditions?"

Jinx thought for a moment and said, "I remember it is like this... First, the time difference between the two worlds must be very large, starting from several months. There is no need to adjust the slight time flow. Second, there must be someone in that world who has a very high level of friendship with the people in the shop, that is, a friend."

"Only in this way can we pass the store's inspection. The third condition is that the world must also have an existence that can adjust time. Moreover, this time control cannot be just the kind of time stop control. At the very least, it must be able to rewind on a large scale or for a very long time."

"The fourth condition is that the shop must be at a level where the time can be adjusted completely. That is, before May 5.6th, there must be four customers who can control the time. And the last condition is that the person or those people cannot be a pure ordinary person. They must have special powers or physical qualities."

"Then I didn't know what the world time flow was like in Mirajane, so I asked my husband if I could try it, and it actually worked. It seems that the time difference between them and here was at least a month before, so you don't need to ask anymore."

"Afterwards, I had my husband try it out with his friends. Some of them didn't have the power to control time, some had very small time differences or even no time difference, and some were just ordinary people. So, the current situation is like this. The conditions are no less difficult than being able to synchronize time back then. It's extremely difficult, almost impossible."

"Oh..."

Chapter 648 Shinobu's Operation Plan, Momousagi's Arrangements (Please Subscribe~)

Jinx's words shattered Lucifer and the others' hopes. The conditions were too harsh. Many worlds, even if they met all the conditions, might be eliminated if the time difference was just a little off. But thinking about it carefully, the time difference wasn't that big and there was no particular need for time synchronization.

Yuko Ichihara coughed lightly and said, "Then let's ignore this for now. Besides, I think the store might add a feature like this during its last upgrade, allowing for unconditional time synchronization."

"Hmm... So, Yuuko, you sensed that Clow Reed was coming, which is why you thought it might be arriving around this time?"

"Yes, looking at it all together, look, Gion is bringing people over, Akali and the others found the white fox, that Noxus third horn is also coming, Thor is capturing Elma, Shiho Miyano was rescued and is coming over, Tsukasa is preparing for action, and Asagi also has something to report."

"That bespectacled guy will be here soon, and Grandma Mito's time might be coming soon too. Christmas is just around the corner, and those archangels will be coming down soon too. Kurumi will be here soon after she resolves her inner conflict, and the Primal Spirit will be coming soon as well. There are many things to do. It seems like a domino effect."

Everyone nodded thoughtfully. Even Yamato and the others, who didn't know what had happened, seemed to understand a bit after listening, and also felt that it was too much of a coincidence.

Yuko Ichihara continued, "And don't you guys find it strange? Lucy keeps saying he's going to catch Pokémon, but he never has time to go. Yet, only Ash comes to the shop, and his friends can't come for various reasons. So, don't you guys think it's like they're waiting for Lucy?"

"Hiss..."

"Remember? Lucy went to Lacus's world and released magic, which triggered a series of events. Lucy went to Ash's world and released magic as well, but nothing happened. I feel like the next time you really go to catch Pokémon, someone from that world will definitely come."

Lucifer's eye twitched slightly as he said, "Why do I suddenly feel a sense of guilt...? So, you mean..."

"It's nothing much, I just wanted to share this discovery. And as you can see, many of the sisters have things to report, right? I've finished explaining, and you all understand now. So, Gion, you go first."

Gion nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll talk about the first batch of confirmed names. It's pretty much the same as what I said before, but there are also some unexpected names."

"Tell me."

"Kalifa, who was specially promoted to CP0, Lieutenant General Dol, who was urgently recalled by military order, Peacock and Lark, who were also recalled, Tashigi, who was specially recalled, Princess Vivi, who was forcibly conscripted to Alabasta, and Princess Vinsmoker Reiju of the Germa Kingdom—I had already guessed that they would be here."

"But there were two people who were somewhat unexpected."

"Who?"

"One is Kalifa's sister, also an Alpha from CP. The other one wasn't mentioned, only that they're on their way here. It's not clear who they are."

Robin thought for a moment and said, "Then it should be a CP0 member. Otherwise, it's impossible for the princess of a member state to keep it a secret, let alone the Navy. So it's very likely that it's the 'Queen of the Pleasure District' that we talked about before."

“I think so too. I gave them five days. If they can’t make it in time, I’ll use the magic Lucie gave me to go and pick them up myself.”

"Five days? But Gion, didn't you say before...?"

"After I meet up with them, I definitely can't go straight back to the shop. I need to give them some time to adjust and take care of some things. Also, the Celestial Dragons have prepared gifts. I can't be completely sure what they are yet, but they will definitely include Devil Fruits."

"Furthermore, I specifically emphasized prioritizing Mythical Beasts and high-level Paramecia-types, and they indicated that they would prepare them without any problem."

The judge scoffed and said, "The gifts are accepted, but they will still die! No one can save them!"

“I understand that, but I definitely can’t say it now. What Yuko just said makes me feel that the final upgrade might be completed soon, and then there will be enough rooms for us to come back. Also, this extended period of time can prevent those guys from bringing people over frequently.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Gion was indeed reliable, and now that his only weakness was gone, he could be said to have become a candidate for a great general who possessed both wisdom and strength once again.

"I've finished my report. Who's next?"

Shinonono Tsukasa raised her hand and shouted, "Hey hey hey! I'll go! I have three things to say. The first is that I have researched the Red Camellia! That means the Is era has been updated again! But that's not the key point! The key point is that I plan to take action at the Is Academy's school festival."
