People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Kuro Reid nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Manager, what channel do you need to get this?"

"You can come the same way you came before, and you can even bring people along!"

"Thank you so much... I'll be bringing a customer here soon, and she'll most likely become your guest... Thank you for your help..."

Bai Yu waved his hand and said, "It's good to have some liveliness, and the world here is much more interesting than yours~ Let's eat, otherwise the sweet and sour pork will get cold and won't taste good~"

Kuro Reid nodded and began eating in silence. Shiraha turned to Natsume and said with a smile, "Now can you tell me your story? I'm still very interested in yokai and stuff~"

"Huh? Hmm!"

Looking into Shiraha's sincere eyes, Natsume nodded. After thinking for a moment, he slowly recounted the strange things that had happened around him since childhood, as well as the monsters he had encountered.

Bai Yu and Kuro Reid nodded from time to time. Kuro Reid noticed Bai Yu's gaze and a certain decision in his heart became clearer.

"The strangest thing that's happened today is coming to your shop, but it feels great, better than ever before..."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "What a wonderful life, a mix of joys and sorrows. This is the most vivid version of yourself, and it proves your uniqueness. Continue to live gently; the world will not let down someone who treats everything with gentleness. This is experience."

After saying that, he stood up and went back to the kitchen to get the dessert. Kuro Reid and Natsume watched Shiraha leave, their feelings complex, but mostly a sense of peace and warmth—the reward that gentle people most desire....

Chapter Thirty-Four: Cerberus's Steadfastness (Please add to your favorites!!!)

The only sounds inside the shop were the two people enjoying their food. It's worth mentioning that Kuro Reid was now completely absorbed in the two desserts that Shiraha had brought him.

One dish is a whiskey brûlée, and the other is a chocolate almond cake. Both dishes have their own unique taste and sweet aroma, making them irresistible.

Even someone as polite as Kuro Reid was acting like a little boy who couldn't stop eating his favorite snack.

After finishing his meal, Natsume sat there watching Shiraha, who was drinking black tea and reading a book. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and said, "Manager? Can I come to this restaurant again?"

"Of course, repeat customers are always welcome, especially those who can share their stories."

Natsume smiled slightly, then stood up and asked, "Manager, how much is it in total?"

After glancing at it, Bai Yu casually said, "One hundred yen~"

"Oh... um? One hundred yen?!"

"what happened?"

Natsume, unusually surprised, said, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly felt that as expected of the shop owner's shop... 100 yen is really too little."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Tamago yaki is just an egg at most~ Why charge so much? Besides, your story is very valuable~"

Natsume paused, then smiled, placed the money on the table, said goodbye to Shiraha, and opened the shop door. Gazing at the beam of light, Natsume murmured softly, "So warm..."

After saying that, he turned and left. Kuro Reid adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "Manager Shiraha's shop is truly amazing. Whether it's the food, the shop, or Manager Shiraha himself, they are all amazing!"

Bai Yu smiled slightly and said softly, "That's why so many amazing people gather here, eating amazing food prepared by an amazing manager in this amazing shop, and sharing amazing stories~"

Kuro Reid nodded and said, "In that case, I'm a magical person too~"

"Is not it?"

"Heh... Store Manager Shiraha's words really give people a warm feeling..."

"Great review, much better than theirs!"

Kuro Reid paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Those girls who like you? Would you mind telling me what they think?"

Bai Yu sighed helplessly and said, "Heartbreaker, scoundrel, faithless man, and so on..."

"Hahaha!"

Kuro Reid couldn't help but laugh, then waved his hand and said, "If it were Shopkeeper Shiraha, these words would actually become positive terms~"

"But I'd prefer them to use more derogatory terms; these complimentary terms don't sound like they're talking about nice people~"

"Haha~ Shopkeeper Baiyu is surprisingly witty~"

"Life is long, but sometimes it's short. We should always find some fun, shouldn't we?"

Kuro Reid paused, then said softly, "I see... Thank you for your guidance, Manager Shiraha. I think this simple truth is the best answer..."

Bai Yu didn't know what Kuro Reid was talking about, but he knew that Kuro Reid had figured out some things he couldn't understand before. Humans are such strange creatures; they might suddenly understand the problems that have troubled them all their lives because of a single sentence or a single image.

Kuro Reid chatted with Bai Yu the whole time, and no other guests came. Bai Yu was happy to have someone to help him relieve the boredom of the night.

As the sun rose, Kuro Reid finished his last sip of wine and was about to get up when he heard hurried footsteps coming from upstairs. Before he could ask anything, he saw Cerberus, his hair disheveled and his clothes changed, rushing down the stairs.

"Master, master, master! Catch me!"

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. He opened his arms and steadily caught Cerberus, who was lunging at him. The dog was clearly happy after being caught by Bai Yu, and stared at Bai Yu with unblinking eyes.

Kuro Reid was taken aback, then tilted his head and said, "Master?"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "This is the hellhound I was talking about~ Isn't it cute~"

Kuro Reid was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "As expected of Shopkeeper Shiraha, even your pets are so amazing. But she's really a cute girl~"

Just as Cerberus was about to say something, he heard Bai Yu say gently, "More than pets, family is more important, isn't it? Besides, Cerberus is very well-behaved, isn't he? He's really cute!"

Cerberus's ears twitched, its tail swished back and forth, and it showed a very happy expression on its face, snuggling against Bai Yu. Kuro Reid narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene.

"Well...."

After glancing at Cerberus twice, Kuro Reid felt as if his mental energy had been significantly depleted. He chuckled and said, "The White Feather Shopkeeper's favorite... this family member is truly ridiculously powerful..."

Cerberus, upon hearing this, turned to look at Kuro Reid, tilting his head and saying, "Master, master, master! This guest seems to be in a very precarious situation..."

Bai Yu was taken aback, looked down at Cerberus, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Hmm... I just won't live long!"

Bai Yu looked at Kuro Reid, who simply smiled as always and said gently, "You're right... but I don't intend to prolong my life..."

Bai Yu didn't say anything. He remembered that Kuro Reid had mentioned bringing a guest, which was probably someone he was entrusting to look after. It seemed like he was being forced into this situation.

Bai Yu nodded and then said to Cerberus, "Cerberus, did you do something last night?"

Cerberus's eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly turned his head and whispered, "I have signed a life contract with my master, so if my master dies, Cerberus will follow my master!"

Looking into his dog's innocent eyes, Bai Yu sat down, chuckled, and playfully pinched Cerberus's nose, saying, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"I'm not afraid! You don't need a reason to give to someone! That's what you said, Master!"

Kuro Reid calmed down upon hearing this, and Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "You little rascal~ why did you wake up so early?"

"Hmm... I dreamt about my master, and then I woke up!"

"Hey Cerberus, what happens if you die from your life contract?"

"Then they'd die~"

"Isn't there a way to share the life of the contracted party?"

Cerberus shook his head, and before Bai Yu and Kuro Reid could speak, Cerberus said directly, "However, the master-servant life contract is possible. It doesn't revive the contractor, but rather ensures that if the master doesn't die, the servant won't die either. Even if they have died, they can be revived~"

Hearing this, Kuro Reid's eyes lit up with surprise, and he quickly asked, "Miss Cerberus, what are the conditions for learning this contract?"

Cerberus shook his head and said, "It's just a little magic trick~ As for the conditions... the contractor must agree!"

Ignoring the agitated Clow Reed, Bai Yu pinched Cerberus's cheek and said, "Then why don't you sign that contract? That way you won't be in danger~"

Cerberus shook his head firmly and said, "No, no, no! The person who can kill Cerberus must be incredibly powerful! If I sign that contract, and if Cerberus isn't dead, he'll definitely find out! Then he'll find his master and we'll be doomed! So! Absolutely not! No, no, no!"

Bai Yu looked at Cerberus, who was speaking excitedly, and felt a warmth in his heart. This dog was adorably silly...

Chapter Thirty-Five: Lucifer's Kitten (Please Subscribe~)

Kuro Reid paid the bill and left, only saying that he would come back with someone soon and hoped that the owner's skills would still be just as superb, before he left.

Cerberus watched as Kuro Reid left, his ears twitched, then he looked up at Bai Yu blankly and said, "Master, Master, Master! I think I just sensed the presence of the door!"

"Door?"

Cerberus nodded and spent a long time describing it to Bai Yu before finally explaining it clearly. Bai Yu patted Cerberus's head and said irritably, "Why didn't you just say 'teleportation portal'?"

"That's right! As expected of the master!"

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Are you hungry?"

"hungry!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Wait a minute~ I'll go find you something to eat. Let's have breakfast after Lucifer wakes up~ No need to wake her up~"

Cerberus was about to run up and pull Lucifer up when he heard this, so he sat there obediently and waited patiently.

When Bai Yu came over carrying a plate of dried meat, he was taken aback when he saw Cerberus slumped on the table like a salted fish. He asked softly, "Cerberus~ What's wrong?"

"Ah? Master, you're back~ What's this? Why isn't it warm?"

Bai Yu placed the dried meat in front of Cerberus and said with a smile, "This is a kind of snack called dried meat. Have some of this first~ We'll talk about it after Lucifer wakes up~"

"it is good!"

Cerberus stared at the tempting-looking piece of jerky with a few sesame seeds on it, tentatively poked it with his finger, and then suddenly looked up and said, "Master, master, master! This is hard!"

Bai Yu laughed and said, "Of course it's hard~ because it needs to be dried out~ Try it~ the taste should be pretty good~"

Cerberus, holding a piece of dried meat, said, "Everything Master makes is delicious!"

After saying that, he took a bite, then froze, staring blankly at Bai Yu, blinking, then chewed it once. It smelled a little good. He chewed it again, and it smelled even better. Then he couldn't stop eating it, like he had eaten a chewing gum.

"Uh-huh!"

"Hmm? Cerberus, what's wrong?"

Cerberus's eyes lit up as it wagged its tail and exclaimed, "Master, Master, Master! This stuff is so chewy! And so fragrant! The more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes! You must have made it yourself, Master, right?"

Bai Yu was taken aback and said in confusion, "Yes, that's true, but Cerberus, how did you know it was made by me? It doesn't taste much different from the jerky sold outside~"

Cerberus shook his head and said, "No, no, no! Master's cooking is the most special! You can taste it immediately! It's different!"

Bai Yu was taken aback when Cerberus handed him a piece, saying, "Master, Master, Master! You have to try this! It's really delicious! It's definitely different from what you buy outside!"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "It feels a little strange that you give me food I made and then say it's delicious~"

Cerberus chuckled and then started eating by herself, her little feet swinging back and forth under the table. Bai Yu continued to quietly read her book on the side. Cerberus ate her jerky while glancing at her master from time to time. She felt that this was the best feeling!

Cerberus doesn't eat a piece of jerky quickly; he chews it for a long time. Before he knew it, a ray of sunlight rose from the horizon. Bai Yu stood up, stretched, closed the book, and said softly, "Hmm? Still not finished?"

Cerberus scratched his head and said, "It's so delicious, we need to make it quickly and enjoy it slowly! And Lucifer hasn't gotten up yet, we need to save some for her~"

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "There's as much of this as you want, just eat as much as you like~ But you can't eat it as a meal, it gets cloying if you eat too much. As for getting fat... Cerberus, you don't have that concept of getting fat, do you~"

Cerberus was taken aback, then quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no! Because everything you eat will eventually be converted into magic and stamina, you won't get fat at all!"

Bai Yu said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, it really is an ability that girls all want~ Hmm? Lucifer got up a little late today~"

Cerberus scratched his head and said, "Really? Wasn't Lucifer always...?"

"cough!"

"Well...."

Cerberus was about to speak when he heard a soft cough. He immediately stopped talking and sat down quietly to the side. Then he saw someone come down wearing only a red shirt and trousers.

Bai Yu was taken aback and said in confusion, "Huh? You're not still sleeping in your suit, are you?"

Lucifer's lips twitched, and he said with a displeased look, "Why would you think that? Of course I changed my clothes!"

Bai Yu simply nodded, but her eyes were clearly full of disbelief. Lucifer blushed and exclaimed, "Really! I really changed it!"

Cerberus nodded and said, "Master, master, master! It really has been changed. I can testify, I secretly went to take a look this morning and saw the kitten..."

Cerberus!

"Oh... Master! There's no kitten!"

"You... Ah!!"

Bai Yu laughed and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? This evidence is enough. But I remember you preferred the little white rabbit back then, didn't you?"

"I... um...."

Lucifer felt so ashamed that she couldn't face anyone, but she had to admit one thing: she really liked the little white rabbit more.

Cerberus said weakly, "Um... Lucifer... Master gave me some jerky... It was delicious... Would you like to try some?"
