People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "No, never... But I have to say, there's no rule that you have to stay for a meal, but it's really quite a gathering of guests like this."

"A guest like this?"

Lucifer looked at Bai Yu with some doubt. Bai Yu nodded and said with a smile, "The people who come here to dine normally, the guests from other worlds, the guests from other worlds who come here to rest for a while and then leave, the guests who come here to rest for a while and then leave, and this... everyone who should be here is here."

Lucifer was taken aback, then said with a puzzled look, "Huh? That's not right. I know all of the previous ones, but who was that guest who was just resting in this world for a while before leaving? I've never heard you mention him before?"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Of course you haven't heard of her, because you weren't here when she came. She's probably only come less than five times in the past few years..."

"Huh? I'm really curious about what kind of person she is... What's her name?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and then smiled, saying, "She said... absinthe..."

"Absinthe, what kind of name is that...? That's strange..."

Kusuo Saiki said softly, "Absinthe is a high-alcohol distilled spirit with anise flavor. Its main ingredients are anise, fennel, and wormwood, which are often referred to as the 'Holy Trinity.'"

"The liquid is green, but turns cloudy milky white when ice water is added. This is the famous milky state of absinthe."

"This wine is fragrant and rich, with a light and slightly bitter taste, and contains an alcohol content of over 45%..."

Lucifer asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

"Just search it up and you'll find out..."

Lucifer's lips twitched. Goodness, at least you're showing some reaction! What's with that blank expression? And was that coffee jelly hitting you in the mouth?! You've been chewing it for ages!

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "A woman with this name... must be very charming. She can only be savored, not overdone. Am I right, Shiraha?"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "That's true. She often says things like secrets make women more attractive, but she's always flying around the world, and we don't know where she is."

Meanwhile, in a coffee shop abroad, Miss Vermouth ordered a coffee, took a deep breath, and said softly, "It's been so long since I've been there. How about we grab a drink sometime? Hmm, never mind..."

After all that happened last night, she took a hat, left a few bills, picked up a suitcase, and left. No one knows where she's going, but one thing is certain: at least this time, she won't be in the store.

Compared to this side, on the other side, or rather, in another world, in the same coffee shop, the blue-haired girl from before walked out of the restroom and looked at her cold face in the mirror.

But the image that came to mind was the shop from before. The girl murmured, "Those things just now...were they humans...? And what was that light...?"

The girl washed her face to confirm if it was real, and found that everything was real. She could even still feel the warm sensation on her body and smell the enticing fragrance in her nostrils. She was sure it was something she had never eaten before, and she was sure it was something she had never smelled before.

"Huh? I... something feels off?"

Suddenly, the girl thought of something, but just as she was about to recall it, she heard someone shout from downstairs: "Hey! Little Dongxiang! If you don't hurry up, you'll be late!"

Touka Kirishima shook her head, washed her face to calm herself down, then grabbed her schoolbag and ran downstairs, saying softly, "I'm off."

The coffee shop staff and the owner, who was wiping cups, all looked puzzled. One woman paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Oh no! Has Xiao Dongxiang not eaten anything?!"

The boss said softly, "She stayed up all night working on her homework and didn't sleep at all, so she ate dinner this morning."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The woman said somewhat helplessly, "That child went out to deal with the ghouls causing trouble again last night... It must be tough on her. She still has to take her college entrance exams, right..."

"Just cheer her on, everyone, let's get moving, it's time to open for business today."

"Yes!"

Bai Yu looked out the window at the sky gradually turning blue. Saiki Kusuo had already left, taking this month's coffee jelly with him, along with some chocolate and osmanthus flowers.

Kazami Yuuka said softly, "Then I should head back too. Oh, right, there's something..."

"Please speak, Ms. Kazami. After all, we're all old acquaintances."

Kazami Yuuka was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Although you are a cunning man, you are much better than my old women."

"Uh... old woman..."

At this point, Kazami Yuuka's lips twitched slightly as she asked, "Shiraha, who are you looking at?"

Kazami Yuuka clearly felt the suspicious gaze, the kind that questioned whether she was an old woman. Kazami Yuuka wanted to say, "Look at this face, this figure, how can I look like an old woman?! I'm only seventeen!"

But in the end, she restrained herself and said softly, "What I told you is related to one of them... She found out about this place, and then..."

"And then you're coming too?"

Kazami Yuuka's face visibly darkened, and she clenched her fists slightly, but still nodded. She thought about how that damned old woman had actually fought off her sleepiness and squatted there for more than an hour, only to be caught red-handed and forced to tell her about this place, her "secret base" over there.

She's now wondering if she should let Shiraha provoke her and get defeated, so the secret can still be kept... (A seventeen-year-old girl: I... Gensokyo swear words!)

Bai Yu nodded and said gently, "Of course, you're very welcome."

Kazami Yuuka gave Shiraha a deep look before turning her face away and saying, "No need to welcome me."

"Ok?"

"It's okay, I'm going back."

Watching Yuuka Kazami leave with her umbrella, Shiraha paused for a moment and said, "Looks like a lot of interesting people are coming soon... It's getting light..."

There were no other customers left in the store, only Lucifer and Bai Yu. Lucifer said with a smile, "Hey~ Bai Yu, do you think Caitlin and Vi, those two policewomen, might switch jobs?"

"what?"

Lucifer laughed and said, "Of course, after all, they said they wanted to come and see this world. It looks like Jinx will bring two of her young policewomen on vacation next time she comes."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but... in this situation... it seems... the policewoman is fine, but... Vi can't wear her boxing gloves..."

Lucifer was taken aback, thought for a moment and said, "Then it would be better to shrink a bit. Why is it so quiet upstairs? Cerberus hasn't even gotten up yet? That doesn't make sense."

"You're a demon, and you still talk about science?"

"Who told you demons don't understand science? This queen has a wide range of expertise!"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "If that's the case, the technology in Hell... seems pretty outrageous. I'm suddenly very curious about what Hell is like."

Lucifer thought for a moment, leaned closer, and said with a smile, "How about it? Come back to hell with me, I'll take care of you~ How about it? Bad boy?"

Bai Yu flicked Lucifer's head and said, "You're really addicted to this game."

"Wow, this looks like so much fun! But speaking of which, something does seem a bit off. Should we go check it out?"

Bai Yu also said with some doubt, "Something is definitely not right... Could it be that Cerberus stole the chocolate? Lucifer, go and check it out."

"Alright, alright, you bad man~ Wait for Her Majesty the Queen to come back and take you back to the mansion~ Hahahaha!"

Seeing Lucifer getting quite engrossed in the game, Bai Yu sighed. Looking out the window at the brightening sky, Bai Yu stretched lazily, a rare occurrence for him, and said, "I have a feeling some interesting guests are coming..."

Upstairs, Lucifer raised an eyebrow at the empty Cerberus room and silently glanced at Pandemonica's room, which was next to Cerberus's.

For some reason, Lucifer had a feeling that Cerberus was doing something very brave, and sure enough, the moment the door opened, Lucifer covered his face.

At this moment, Cerberus had somehow turned into three, staring intently at the peacefully sleeping Pandemonica from three different directions. Most importantly, each of these three silly dogs was holding a paintbrush.

Cerberus!

"Eek!" x3

After Cerberus was discovered, it immediately transformed into a single entity and pounced on Pandemonica. Pandemonica instantly opened her eyes, and the crimson light in them terrified Cerberus, who immediately hid under the covers.

Pandemonica breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her eyes after seeing that it was Cerberus. She checked the time on her phone; it had been exactly eight hours. Pandemonica stretched and said, "Boss, you're also in charge of waking people up?"

Just as Lucifer was about to say something, he heard Pandemonica whisper, "Anyway, it's easier than customer service..."

"You really hold a lot of grudges..."

Pandemonica looked at Cerberus, who was huddled under the covers, and said softly, "Cerberus, good morning."

Cerberus, startled, threw off the covers and said energetically, "Good morning! Pander! Good morning! Lucifer!"

Seeing Cerberus instantly regain his energy, Lucifer covered his face and said, "Alright, you two get up. Pander, go wash up. And Cerberus, go back and change into your pajamas!"

"Oh!"

"knew..."

Lucifer sighed and went downstairs again. Bai Yu looked at Lucifer's helpless expression and said with a smile, "Cerberus went to find Pander, didn't he..."

"how do you know?"

"Because Cerberus said last night that he wondered what Pendor's face felt like, and that it must look really fun! So..."

Lucifer nodded and said, "Hmm...she went to Pander's room, but not to sculpt his face, but to draw..."

"Hmm? Heh... That's really Cerberus's style. It seems that having more people in the family makes Cerberus happy too. If Jinx and Yuko were here, I wonder how happy she would be."

"Maybe. Yuko hasn't sent any messages these past two days; she's probably busy with something. She said she'd be back before she runs out of toner, so it seems she really wants to come back soon..."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Yuko uses toner like she drinks it, she uses it up super fast!"

"I see... I think Yuuko will probably use it very sparingly during this period, and then splurge a little on it when she's finished..."

Is she really that bad?

"Who knows~"

In fact, Bai Yu was right. Yuko was really thrifty, but she wouldn't tell anyone. After Pandemonica finished washing up and changing her clothes, her dark circles had actually faded a little.

Pandemonica looked at her cool and refined face in the mirror and said softly, "So...Is he very handsome? Heh...What an interesting man...But if Lord Justice knew...what would the boss's reaction be? Interesting..."

As she spoke, she picked up her glasses. This time, she no longer looked tired, but there was a playful look in her eyes. She was looking forward to how she would spend her rare vacation.

"So, Xiao Qiong overslept again?"

"I..."

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "Cerberus, you don't need to go up. I'll go myself. You guys have breakfast first. And, Pander..."

"Ok?"

"You can take off your employee badge temporarily."

"Oh..."

After Pandemonica took it off, she looked at Lucifer, who casually said, "You don't really need to wear it here. Go buy some clothes and pajamas later. Let's eat first."

"Yes.."

"How did you manage to think Friday was the weekend?"

"Hmm...I misread...Brother Baiyu, what's in today's bento?"

"You'll find out at lunchtime. Eat first, then hurry up and go to school. I'm really fed up with you; you almost missed school two days in a row."

Everyone was stunned to see Kasugano Sora, with her hair down and a headband in hand, run over, greet us, and start eating. She finished quickly, grabbed a can of cola, picked up her bag and lunchbox, and ran out. Nakiri Managi tilted her head and said, "Eh? Who said Sora was unwell? She's recovered now and still not very athletic?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment. Even before Bai Yu reached the table, Kasugano Sora had finished eating and run out. Rantabi was stunned for a moment, then said blankly, "Eh?! That's my cola! That girl should be drinking milk!"

Although this was the second time Pandemonica had eaten with so many people, she still felt a different kind of feeling. Even though she hadn't eaten before, it didn't affect her feeling. "Not bad," was her assessment.

Kraki yawned and said, "Managi-sama, the work is done, shouldn't we have a day off today...?"

Nakiri Managi nodded while chewing on something and said, "Yeah, aren't we going to buy daily necessities today? I need to check on the site selection and the construction team's arrival this afternoon. I'm so busy!"

Dekkera sighed and said, "But this is good. It's much more convenient and also protects the eyes."

"Agreed!" x4

Lucifer asked in confusion, "Eye protection? What eye protection? Your WGO even does vision health programs? Well, you guys seem to look at documents a lot..."

Klaqi raised an eyebrow and looked at Dekla and the others with a puzzled expression. Then she saw Dekla and the others nod. Ann said softly, "Lucifer, we really aren't doing this project. It's a different kind of eye protection. You can think of it as not wanting to see certain people."

Lucifer nodded and said, "Oh? That's really something. To actually make you consider relocating is quite impressive."

Managi Nakiri said, clearly displeased, "If we hadn't brought up such disgusting topics, I wouldn't have known what changes had taken place here over the years."

Kraki said in confusion, "Lady Managi, logically speaking, even if you stayed here the whole time, you wouldn't be able to know anything about the changes."

"why?"

Dekkera smiled and said, "What Kraki means is that, as the daughter of the Nakiri family, Lady Managi, you also have to go to school, and before, with God Tongue around, you probably didn't have time to go out and play, so you probably don't know if there have been any changes."

Nakiri Managi was taken aback, then covered her face and said, "It really is like that... I don't think I've ever even gone shopping much. I basically just go out to try food. Eh? Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel really pathetic."

Pandemonica glanced at Nakiri Managi with a look of sympathy. Another person whose life was restricted by work. But compared to her, Nakiri Managi was a rich heiress, and her job was eating. She…sigh…
