People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Alice is a bit outrageous. She didn't get drunk gradually; she got drunk suddenly! And even when she was drunk, she didn't change at all. Apart from being particularly clingy, her complexion was exactly the same as before.

Just as Saitama finished eating and stood up to speak, he heard Shiraha softly say, "Eight hundred yen~"

"Thank you, it's still as delicious as ever, but I really don't know how you make a living..."

After putting down the money, Saitama said he would come again when he had time and then left. Hori Kyoko was slightly surprised to see Shiraha reading a book. Although she knew from Nanami Nami that Shiraha's dishes were unusually cheap, she did not expect them to be this cheap.

Kyoko Hori thought for a moment, sighed, shook her head, and said, "I don't want to think about it anymore~ Shota~ Don't just eat that croquette~ Eat more of this beef too~"

"Oh!"

As night deepened, Senzaemon finished his meal and announced that Kobayashi Rindou and the others had to go home. Looking at Alice, who had already fallen asleep drunk, Kobayashi Rindou said helplessly, "That girl really is a handful~"

Erina and the others nodded. Kobayashi Rindou was about to pick Alice up when Shiraha stopped him, saying irritably, "She's had too much to drink. If you move her so roughly, she'll wake up from the jostling and might throw up."

Kobayashi Rindou scratched his head and said, "Then what should we do?"

Bai Yu sighed and said, "If Alice were one of the Ten Heroes, she could stay here for the night. Is your car parked at the alley entrance?"

"Ok!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment, then walked over, crouched down slightly, and gently picked Alice up, saying, "I'll take you to the alley entrance. Um... this..."

"Huh? Just call me Hori!"

"Okay, if any customers come in during this time, please let me know and I'll be right back. You can take their orders now."

After saying that, she carried Alice out of the store, leaving a bewildered Hori speechless, saying, "She really trusts me too much..."

While eating beef, Sota mumbled, "Big brother is a very nice person~"

"Hmm~ She really is a very nice person~"

Seeing Shiraha holding Alice, Kobayashi Rindou was extremely displeased, but he still smiled on the surface. Erina, on the other hand, didn't feel anything, but just felt that something was a little strange.

Whether it was because Bai Yu was holding her too steadily or because Alice was a rather clingy child, her little head, which was sleeping soundly, suddenly nuzzled against Bai Yu.

Bai Yu stopped and turned to look at Senzaemon Nakiri, smiling as he said, "I didn't expect her to be such a spoiled child. Grandpa, please wait until she's settled before you leave."

Senzaemon Nakiri chuckled and said, "I never knew you had such potential to be a good father!"

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's alright~ I personally quite like kids~"

Kobayashi Rindou blushed and remained silent. After a while, Alice also gradually quieted down. Bai Yu looked down at Alice. Alice was of mixed race, and since her mother was very beautiful, Alice's appearance was also very delicate.

Alice at this moment was not as lively as usual, but rather had a more tranquil feel to her. Her nose twitched from time to time, and her jelly-like lips were slightly pouting, making her look like she was sleeping soundly.

When Bai Yu placed Alice in Kobayashi Rindou's car, his shirt was already soaked with drool from Alice's sleeping mouth. Bai Yu chuckled and said, "She really is a restless sleeper~"

Rindou Kobayashi rolled his eyes and said, "You should say you've hit the jackpot! Alice's pretty popular at school!"

Instead of answering that question, Bai Yu said to Qian Kubo Momo and the others, "Alice's drink doesn't have a high alcohol content, so she'll wake up soon. However, she might have a headache. Tell her to go home and rest well, and eat something light the next day."

Erina and the others nodded and took note. Shiraha smiled and said, "Then I'll head back now~ Ms. Hori and her brother are still waiting, be careful on your way~"

After finishing his sentence, Bai Yu turned and left. Before Erina and the others could even say goodbye, Bai Yu disappeared into the alley. Erina sighed and said, "Manager Bai Yu really is efficient and decisive..."

Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and said, "That's true, but you still don't understand Shiraha~ Shiraha wanted to get back quickly because Hori and the others were almost finished eating, and Shiraha couldn't keep them waiting too long. After all, both the children and she needed to go to school the next day, and children especially need plenty of sleep~"

Erina nodded. As Senzaemon Nakiri's car passed by, he said, "Then you can go back slowly. I'll go back to handle some official business first. If Alice wakes up, she can stay at your dormitory tonight!"

After saying that, she turned and left. Erina sighed. She and Hisako lived in the same dormitory building, which was like a small villa, a testament to her strength.

As Kobayashi Rindou and the others left, Shiraha returned to the restaurant. Just as he entered, Hori and Sota finished eating. Shiraha smiled and said, "Looks like I've come back just in time~"

Kyoko Hori smiled and said, "Yes, manager, your cooking is amazing! You can even make stews, which I don't like, taste so good!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "I'm glad it suits your tastes, but strictly speaking, this should be stewed meat. If it's stewed vegetables, then we'll have to use a different cooking method."

Kyoko Hori nodded and said, "That's really amazing! I thought I was pretty good at cooking, but compared to you, manager, I'm nowhere near as good. I never imagined there were so many ways to cook!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Cooking is like doing scientific research or creating art. You have to be bold. Every dish is created from a bold idea, so don't be too fixed in your thinking. I can tell you're also very good at cooking."

"Hmm~ but it's just some home-style dishes..."

"But home-cooked meals are enough for everyday life, aren't they? As long as they're delicious and make the person eating them happy, they're a successful dish. Little one, do you like your sister's cooking?"

Without a second thought, Sota nodded and said, "Yes! Onee-chan's cooking is delicious too!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "See? My cooking gets the same reviews as yours. I deal with many customers, while you only need to deal with your family. If your family is satisfied, then you've succeeded!"

Hori Kyoko looked at Shiraha, whose eyes were shining as he watched her clear the tableware, and said with a smile, "Manager, you really know how to compliment people~ But thank you~ How much is it in total?"

"One thousand yen~"

Hori Kyoko paused for a moment and said, "One thousand in total? That's so cheap?"

Bai Yu said with a smile, "I don't even have a menu here, so does the price still matter?"

"What a strange person... By the way, I heard from Fukami that your name is Shiraha, right?"

Shiraha nodded, took the money from Hori Kyoko, and pushed the food cart towards the kitchen. Hori Kyoko stood up and said, "Fukami is right, this is a restaurant you definitely have to visit at least once. Manager, I'll bring my friends here when I have the chance~"

"Welcome! Please drive safely."

"Ok!"

"Big brother! My name is Sota!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Okay~ See you later, Sota~ Although it's not very late, as a man, you should protect your sister when walking alone at night~"

Sota nodded and said, "Okay! I understand! Goodbye, big brother!"

Shiraha stood at the kitchen doorway, waving gently to the siblings. After leaving, Hori Kyoko glanced at the brightly lit shop and remarked with a touch of wistfulness, "What a magical place..."

"Onee-chan! We should go! Aren't you on duty tomorrow?"

"Oh dear! I forgot... Sota is really reliable~"

"Because I'm a man!"

"Pfft~"

"Ouchi-chan!"

Listening to the sounds fading into the distance outside the shop, Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying softly, "What an interesting brother and sister pair... Katagiri really is a nice place~"

Perhaps because there were too many customers before, there were still no customers when it was almost midnight. Bai Yu was quite happy to be at ease, since he had been quite busy today. Although he wasn't tired, he wanted to rest for a while.

Brew a cup of black tea, lean back in your chair and read a book. The only sound in the store is the rustling of pages. This is exactly the kind of environment a restless and tired person needs.

Just as Bai Yu was about to pick up his teacup and take a sip of black tea, he saw the door light up. Before he could put down his teacup, the door was opened, and a dirty-faced girl ran in.

The girl had purplish-red eyes, a beautiful face, and long blue hair tied into two braids. She also had some cloud-like tattoos on her body, but they didn't look bad; in fact, they suited her perfectly....

That's not the key point. The key point is that the girl is very thin. But that's not the most important thing either. The most important thing is the machine gun in the girl's hand and the shark-mouth-like rocket launcher on her back...

The girl ran in, took a breath, and then paused for a moment. After looking around, she saw Bai Yu, who was still holding a teacup and hadn't come to his senses yet. For a moment, their eyes met and they fell into an eerie silence.

P.S.: Did I have to say that? Base established!

Chapter 74 Jinx: You bastard cook! (Please subscribe~)

After a long silence between Bai Yu and the girl, Bai Yu finally spoke first: "Um... um... Miss, would you like to have a meal or just rest for a while?"

The girl didn't answer Bai Yu's question. Instead, she tilted her head and glanced at Bai Yu a few times before turning to look around the shop. After a long while, she threw the machine gun in her hand onto a chair to the side.

He sat down right next to the machine gun, spread his arms, kicked his long legs twice in the air, bit his lip tightly, but finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha! Those idiot cops never expected me to come to this place!"

Bai Yu watched as the suddenly cheerful girl put down her tea and said gently, "So, young lady, you...?"

Jinx!

"Hmm? Is that your name?"

"Yeah! You look much better than those cops in Piltover! Where is this place? These shiny things don't look like Hextech!"

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is just a regular light bulb."

"Wow~ This is much more exquisite than the lamp in the nobleman's collection room in Piltover that was blown up the other day~ So where is this?"

Bai Yu glanced at the girl's machine gun and said, "This is a restaurant—or, in layman's terms, a eatery. You can also stop by here to rest."

Jinx nodded, then suddenly smiled and said, "You seem quite interested in this child?"

Before Bai Yu could speak, Jinx smiled and said, "Right! I'm interested too! Especially when the gun is fired! There's nothing better than that!"

Bai Yu didn't say anything, just quietly watched the girl. After talking to herself for a while, the girl turned to look at Bai Yu and said, "Hey! You haven't said a word since just now!"

Bai Yu laughed and said, "I didn't interrupt you because you were talking so enthusiastically~ It's quite interesting~ I didn't expect you to be so bold~"

Jinx paused for a moment, then grabbed one of her braids with one hand, swinging it while laughing, and said, "You're a weirdo. You're the first person who will listen to me quietly!"

Bai Yu said naturally, "Why is it strange?"

"Because I'm insane! I have a doctor's certificate for it!"

After looking at Jinx for a while, Bai Yu smiled and shook his head under Jinx's gaze, saying, "As expected, no matter how you look at it, she's just a very cute girl~"

Jinx paused for a moment, then pointed at herself and said, "Hey! Dude~ Cute? Are you talking about me?"

"if not?"

Jinx stood up, walked up to Bai Yu, bumped his shoulder against him, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so strong! But remember this! Even though it's a friendly term, it won't fool me! Hey! Hey! Give it back!"

Jinx had initially pulled out a pistol-like object from her lap, intending to shoot Bai Yu to teach him a lesson. However, since Jinx had a good impression of the place and didn't want to kill anyone, she only intended to scare Bai Yu.

But Bai Yu took the pistol from her, tapping Jinx on the head as he did so, and said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of place you live in or what kind of people you've met, but this isn't your world. And as for what you said, you don't need to overthink it. I was just stating a fact."

Jinx reached out and tried twice but couldn't reach it, then stomped her foot, picked up the rocket launcher from behind, and the next moment...

"Give it back! I was just kidding! Hey! If you don't give it back, I'm going to get angry!"

A dozen seconds later...

"Ugh... Are you a devil?! Give me back my friend! I was just kidding!"

Bai Yu sighed, placed the weapons in the counter, and said, "I'll return them to you when you leave. You need to calm down now. Besides, weapons can't be your friends."

"I have many friends! But my best friend is still Fishbone! At least give Fishbone back to me!"

"Fishbone? That rocket launcher? Interesting name~ Nobody goes without friends~ You're no exception~ Can you even call your friends friends? At most, they're accomplices~"

Jinx sat in the chair, clenching her fist, and said, "I am Jinx!"

"Nobody here knows you're Jinx~"

"How is that possible?! Piltover knows my name! Wait... what did you just say? This isn't our world?"

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "Looks like you've realized this isn't your world. Otherwise, how could you have gotten in while those chasing you haven't?"

Jinx's eyes lit up and she jumped up, exclaiming, "This is so exciting! You must be a magician!"

"No~ but I'm a chef~"

"A cook? As long as he's not a cop! It seems like anywhere except Piltover can calm me down! Hey! I won't be angry since you gave me such a big surprise! But you have to give me back my friend!"

"I told you, you can't be friends with weapons, but you can treat them as partners—after all, you still need them to survive."

Jinx rolled her eyes, scratched her hair in frustration, then stared at Bai Yu with wide eyes and said, "I'm starting to wonder if I'm talking to an idiot! I told you! I'm a..."

"Your doctor is probably not quite right in the head either. Alright, find a place to sit down and stay here for the day. Leave when it closes tomorrow morning."

"Are you ordering me around?!"

"Do you believe it or not...?"

"I don't believe you~ As long as you don't cause any trouble in the coming days, every guest who comes here will be happy to be your friend, and they'll all think you're adorable~"

Jinx paused for a moment, then laughed and waved her hand, saying, "That's impossible~ Besides~ why would I play this boring game with you~ It doesn't do me any good~"

"If you win, you can hide here for the night and safely evade the pursuers. If you lose, you'll gain a few friends, a few friends who are willing to listen to you."

A glint of anticipation flashed in Jinx's eyes, then she snorted and said, "Fine! I'll show you just how wrong you are! Nobody dares get too close to Jinx! Oh... except for one close accomplice! You should trust the doctor's testimony!"

"I only trust my own judgment~ So Jinx, what would you like to eat?"
