People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Yuko Ichihara sighed and said, "What a small world. It's actually Suekichi Kaneda. But to recover so quickly after being beaten up like that by Gaolang, I need to redefine what 'poor constitution' means."

"Agreed!"

Just then, they saw Bai Yu pushing a food cart over. Everyone's eyes turned to her, especially when they saw the big white bowl in the middle. Everyone swallowed hard. They had been craving it all day.

Bai Yu said gently, "You two seem to be having a very pleasant conversation."

Lucifer rolled his eyes and said, "Let's eat first. Where's the saliva frog?"

"did not do."

"Huh?!" xn

Lucifer stared at Bai Yu for a while before saying irritably, "Are you treating us like children? Hurry up, we've been craving this all day, but Managi's WGO messed up."

"That's why I said it! It would be so embarrassing if guests came and wanted hot pot but there were no bullfrogs!"

"You don't need to explain."

"Eh?! Why is this happening?!"

Everyone eagerly took their seats, except for Grayfia, who hadn't quite caught up. Lucifer pulled Grayfia to his side and asked, "How was your shopping today?"

"Hmm...very good, Mr. Bai Yu has been very kind to me..."

Lucifer nodded, but before he could speak, he saw that the table was already full of dishes. In the very center was the saliva frog that they had been looking forward to the most. When they opened it, they saw the bright red soup and the white frog meat, and they all swallowed hard.

Nami whispered, "It looks much better than I expected..."

Dekkera nodded and said, "If you hadn't told me it was frog meat, I would never have guessed!"

"Hmm!" xn

Gurefia also looked at the drooling frog with some anticipation, and as it turned out, the dish did not disappoint them. Everyone successfully added a dish to their VIP list, no, a creature.

This was the first time Gurefia had eaten with so many people. Even when she was a child at home, it was just herself, her father, her mother, and her younger brother—only four people. There were servants around, and meals were always quiet and lonely.

But she was certain that she didn't dislike this way of eating; she even felt a sense of home.

"It feels pretty good, right?"

"Uh-huh...."

While Glefia was lost in thought, she heard Lucifer's voice. Glefia glanced at Lucifer, who was eating, and Lucifer smiled and said, "I have something to tell you after we finish eating."

"Um..."

"Eat quickly, or Cerberus and the others will eat it all."

Cerberus! Bones are not edible!

"Well?!"

Gurefia looked at the laughing and chatting crowd and felt a sense of relaxation. She picked up her chopsticks and continued eating, but her mind was more on what Lucifer wanted to say to her.

"It's unexpectedly delicious! No wonder Azazel almost drank the soup too. It's really fresh and tender."

"Yeah, yeah! It's all garlic-clove-like meat, which feels perfect for dieting, and the texture of the meat is definitely suitable for sashimi!"

"Hmm! As expected of Kraki, she's really imaginative. But it does feel like that. This meat... Hey? Lucy, what are you doing?"

Lucifer stood up and said somewhat lazily, "I need to talk to Grefia about something. You two chat first, we'll come down in a bit. Grefia, come with me."

"understood."

Watching Grefia and Lucifer leave, Bai Yu looked at them for a moment before shaking his head with a smile and saying softly, "It seems Lucifer really intends to poach them."

“It’s all Lucifer’s fault, Lucifer will definitely not accept it.”

Chapter 986 Gurefia's Evaluation, Lucifer's Poaching (Please Subscribe~)

Just as Bai Yu was being clung to by Klara and the others, Lucifer and Grefia arrived at Lucifer's room and were taken aback by the various furnishings.

She didn't have the typical feminine style of a woman; instead, she had a very neutral and clean style. However, the room still smelled wonderful, and the furnishings had a grand and elegant feel.

Lucifer said softly, "Take a look around for now. I'm going to change my shoes; slippers are more comfortable..."

"Okay, hmm? What's this line...?"

Gurefia suddenly noticed a long, white, electronic thermometer-like object on the table. Lucifer was startled, then quickly ran halfway over, picked up the little white strip, and said with a smile, "This is a thermometer."

"Uh-huh....."

Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief. This was something Klara and Deklara had given her before, so of course she knew what it was. Her attitude at the time was...

"Lucy, this is for you."

"Huh? What is that? A thermometer?"

"This isn't a thermometer. It doesn't display numbers, just one or two lines, hehe..."

Lucifer realized what it was and was stunned. Before he could say anything, Klara waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I've bought everything. That's all for now, let's go take care of our work."

After saying that, he grabbed Dekkera and ran off. Lucifer stood at the door with the little white note, blinked, and after a long pause, silently closed the door and went back to his room.

"You don't actually think that I, the Queen of Hell, need some human technology to detect whether I'm pregnant, do you? How naive!"

"Hmm...it's so great to have an instruction manual..."

"So that's how it's used?"

"Huh?! Why am I reading the instruction manual?! Hmm... it must be because I don't want to let Klara and the others down. She really is a good woman... Lucy..."

After changing into his slippers, Lucifer coughed lightly and said with a serious expression, "Greefia, let's not think about that little incident from earlier. Now let's get down to business."

Gurefia nodded and stood in front of Lucifer, becoming serious. Only now did she realize that her state of mind was correct. Gurefia looked at Lucifer, waiting for him to continue.

Lucifer, with his legs crossed and arms over his chest, said softly, "Greefia, you are a member of the Lucifer family, so your family, including you, are all loyal to Lucifer, right?"

A hint of resentment and helplessness flashed in Gurefia's eyes as she nodded. Lucifer said softly, "I want to hear your current opinion of Lucifer in your world. Don't worry about my opinion, just tell the truth. No lie can escape my eyes."

Lucifer's words startled Grefia. After a moment of hesitation, she whispered, "Is it the Primordial Demon King or Lezevim?"

“Tell us all, including the descendants of Lezewim that you know.”

After a long silence, Gurefia said softly, "The original Demon King Lucifer was a powerful and charismatic demon king, but he was too arrogant and warlike."

"Lezewyn Leviathan Lucifer...acts erratically, cruelly bloodthirsty, even with immense power, he uses it to harm his own people; cold-blooded and ruthless, equally arrogant, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, treating life as a toy and war as a theatrical performance..."

"Lezewium's son... has leadership skills and is not weak, but he was oppressed by Lezewium too much and lost his pride, becoming extremely weak and crazy. Under Lezewium's instruction, he attacked and persecuted his own son, who was also Lezewium's grandson, just to please Lezewium and stop torturing him."

"In the end, his son disappeared without a trace, and Lezewium, bored, tortured his own son to death... I don't know anything about that grandson..."

Lucifer narrowed his eyes. Lezevim's style of doing things was indeed that of a demon in legend, but Lezevim was a bit too crazy. But it didn't matter that he was crazy; he was still burdened with the title of Lucifer.

Lucifer said in a deep voice, "So, Grefia, you were supposed to be Lezevim's servant, right?"

"Yes, my brother Euclid Lucifer has gone to Lezevim..."

Lucifer frowned and said, "And you?"

“I’ve been fighting on the front lines the whole time. My father has asked me to report for duty many times, but I’ve always turned him down…”

"Make excuses? You don't want to go? Isn't that your family's mission?"

Gurefia gritted her teeth and said, "That's true, but the Lucifer in my heart is not like that, and I don't want to serve that kind of Lucifer. Besides, I might be tortured to death by him at any time."

"Besides, many people are very disappointed with Lezewim in this war. If he had participated, my father wouldn't be in such a precarious situation... So I will absolutely not serve such a guy!"

Lucifer smiled and said, "Normally speaking, the probability of your father dying is relatively low, but he probably can't continue fighting either. Whether it's his injuries or your defection, your father can't go to the battlefield again to avoid suspicion."

Gurefia nodded, then asked in confusion, "Queen Lucifer, why are you asking me these questions?"

"So what do you think of me, Lucifer? Tell the truth."

"This...excuse my intrusion, Queen Lucifer, you are nothing like Lucifer, not even like a demon. The arrogance and warlike nature of Lucifer in my memory is completely absent. Laughably, in my mind, Queen Lucifer, you are more like a beautiful, easy-going, meticulous, and gentle noblewoman..."

Lucifer's eye twitched. Was this a compliment or an indication that she lacked authority? Just as Lucifer was about to speak, she heard Grayfia say softly, "The fact that the legendary Lucifer is a woman is already surprising enough. After learning the true legend of Lucifer, I have a deeper understanding of Queen Lucifer's power..."

"But even so, you treat Miss Medis and the other humans like an older sister, and you are very attentive to your love and family. So... although you are powerful, I still don't think you are like Lucifer, or even like a demon."

"However... I think this version of Lucifer is better..."

Lucifer sighed and said, "Am I really that lacking in authority?"

"Um...it might be because..."

Lucifer chuckled and said, "So... Grayfia, since you say I'm better than Lucifer from your world, why don't you switch sides and follow me?"

Chapter 987 Lucifer Successfully Poached, Griefia is in a Dilemma (Please Subscribe~)

Gurefia was completely stunned. So Lucifer was trying to poach her? But Gurefia neither immediately agreed nor immediately refused.

Lucifer picked up a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, poured himself a glass, and continued sitting on the bed watching Gurefia. The suit, the beautiful woman, the red wine—everything was pleasing to the eye. It would be even better if he could change his slippers into boots.

Lucifer wasn't in a hurry, because Grefia would never work for Lucifer of that world... no, serve Lucifer of that world.

After a moment of hesitation, Gurefia said softly, "Queen Lucifer, the Lucifer family..."

Lucifer waved his hand and said, "What would I need so many people for? I only need the Undead Servants. What family or clan? I'm just asking if you're willing to switch sides with me."

"Do I...not need the loyalty of the Lucifer family?"

Lucifer took a sip of red wine and said, "You see, I have my own family. What do you think I need so many families following me for?"

"Forehead....."

"Besides, do you really think it's convenient for so many of you to come over?"

Glefia also seemed to think it made a lot of sense. Putting aside whether the Lucifer family could be accepted, even if they did come, what kind of work would they do? Bodyguards? Following Lucifer and the others around? Moreover, the Lucifer family was loyal to Lucifer, the original demon king of their world.

However, Grefia herself was somewhat tempted. Both were Lucifers, but this one wasn't the Demon King's son; it was the real Lucifer, and a much more powerful one at that. So, she couldn't really be considered a traitor...

But when Gurefia thought of her younger brother and her father, whose fate was unknown, a conflict flashed in her eyes. If she pledged her allegiance to Lucifer, what would happen to them?

"Queen Lucifer, Father is now..."

Lucifer waved his hand and said, "If you want to see your father, then go ahead. Azazel will definitely be coming over soon. You can ask him to check if the war in the Underworld is over. Once it is, you can go back and see him."

"Then, Queen Lucifer..."

"Hmm? I'd really like to go. I'm quite interested in the artifacts of your world, and Yuuko is also quite interested, but I can't get there without Azazel connecting to the world."

"Connecting to...the world?"

Glefia was somewhat surprised. What kind of power was this? After Lucifer explained it to Glefia, her eyes lit up and she said, "Queen Lucifer, if we connect to the world, can you go to our world?"

"That's right, what are you trying to say?"

"Queen Lucifer, if we can connect the worlds, you can go to our world..."

Lucifer tilted his head and said, "Let me guess, do you want to bring your brother back? Or do you want to kill Lezevim? If you want me to go to war, then forget it. To be honest, I prefer the reformists."

Gurefia sighed and said, "I do not wish for Queen Lucifer to go to war. Moreover, I have become increasingly disappointed with the Demon King's faction. If the Underworld falls into the hands of these sons of the Underworld, a three-way war will definitely break out again."

"Moreover, most of those Demon King's sons are all strength and no vision. They only think about continuing to launch a three-way war, which the Underworld can't afford. So I am more inclined to the reformists, but I don't want to betray them and join them."

Lucifer nodded and said, "So I'm just recruiting you, not your family. What were you trying to say before?"

“I want to say... if the war ends, if it is the reformists... no, the reformists will definitely win, because Lezevim will most likely escape. If Euclid is alright, I hope Queen Lucifer can help you find Euclid.”

"That's it? And are you sure Lezewyn will run away?"

Gurefia nodded and said, "Lezevim has no interest in fighting. He treats this war as a theatrical performance. Although he's not participating, he's still an arrogant fellow. He will never allow the reformers to surround him. If nothing unexpected happens, he will leave the Underworld when the war ends..."

"Huh? Because the play is over?"

"Um...."

Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense, but did you think of that before or just now?"

Gurefia sighed and said, "I just realized that because my physical strength and magic power have recovered a lot today, and my mind is also much more relaxed, I thought about it again."

Lucifer nodded and said, "Well, Grayfia, let me ask you a question."

"what?"

"Use your truest thoughts: do you want to live here or go back to your underworld?"

"I prefer it here."
