People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Hisako blushed but still whispered, "Mistress..."

"Isn't that settled then? Erina is right. You don't need to be so formal with your own family. You should still observe proper etiquette, but you should get rid of any manners that make you feel inferior."

Hisako clenched her fist before nodding, and Erina said with a smile, "Hisako, now we really are family. When I was little, I always thought it would be great if I had a younger sister like Hisako, and now it's actually come true."

Hisako whispered, "Erina-san... Ouch! That hurts..."

Hisako had barely finished speaking when she saw Erina pinch her cheek, causing Hisako to cry out in pain. Erina said irritably, "Hisako, what did you call me?"

"Oh... Erina-nee... older sister..."

"Yes! That's more like it! I've heard this nickname for almost ten years! I'm finally hearing it again! It feels so different! Hisako, you're not allowed to change how you address me anymore, even at school!"

"Oh...speaking of which, Bai..."

Everyone pointed to one side, and Erina and Hisako quickly looked over and saw Shiraha chatting with a white-haired beauty they hadn't seen before.

"Huh? Hisako, doesn't she look familiar? I didn't see her before... She seems kind of familiar..."

Nakiri Managi said irritably, "How could I not be familiar with her? She's Leonora!"

"Eh?!" x2

Erina quickly said, "Eh?! Aunt Leonora?! What's she doing here?! I didn't even know! When did she arrive?"

“I don’t know how Leonora found me. I checked my phone and there were no messages. I guess neither of you did either. Alice was drunk a lot. I don’t know how she found me either.”

Katahara Sayaka tilted her head and said, "Grandpa Nakiri, my father, and Kunimitsu's grandfather happened to be fishing together. My father told Grandpa Nakiri our location, and then told Leonora."

"Oh!" x3

"When did Aunt Leonora arrive?"

"It happened when Shiraha and Eirin went to buy swimsuits."

Erina hesitated for a moment before saying, "What are they talking about? Aunt Leonora seems really happy, she's laughing so broadly..."

Nakiri Managi sighed and said, "I advise you not to eavesdrop or interrupt, otherwise, given Leonora's personality, you'll definitely get teased."

"Um... I know, that's why I was just curious... I wonder what Alice would think if she knew Aunt Leonora was here, hey! Alice... Alice?!"

Chapter 154 Alice Gets Scared, Alice Is Asking for Death (Please Subscribe~)

Erina had intended to glance at Alice, but what she saw horrified her; Alice's face was being used as a canvas...

Hisako covered her mouth in disbelief and said, "Oh my god... what will Alice do when she sees this...?"

Erina waved her hand and said, "It's okay. Knowing Alice's personality, she'll just sulk at most. After all, she's a very easygoing person."

Nakiri Managi narrowed her eyes and said, "This art style... if I'm not mistaken, it must have been drawn by Leonora. Her drawing skills are still so bad."

"Um... you only noticed this?"

"Would Alice dare to rebel against Leonora? Of course not, so... wait, Alice's awake. Hey, wake up, get up."

Alice rolled over, still half asleep, and mumbled, "I do..."

"Hey! Stop daydreaming! Get up!"

Erina nudged Alice's shoulder, and after a moment of hesitation, Alice sat up, rubbed her eyes, and said, "Who is it? Why is it so noisy? Huh? Where's the priest?"

"What priest?"

Yumiko chuckled and said, "It seems you've been dreaming about wedding vows, Alice. No wonder you kept muttering 'I do'..."

"Huh? Yumiko-nee? Huh? Where am I? Huh? What are you guys doing here?"

Erina said irritably, "You only drank one beer and you blacked out? Even if the beer here has a higher alcohol content, it shouldn't be like this. We're on a trip!"

"Huh? Oh! Right, right... I think I also... um... Oh no! I forgot to confess! I... I..."

Alice picked up a beer bottle as she spoke, but Erina quickly pulled Alice back and said, "Save your breath, you've already confessed."

"Huh? I confessed my feelings? Really?"

"Really!"

Alice quickly said, "Then...then I..."

Erina sighed and said, "Alice, although this might upset you, but... sigh..."

"I...I was rejected? Waaah..."

"Huh? Who boiled the water?" asked Yonomori Benio in confusion.

Rantabi said irritably, "Erina, stop teasing her. Alice, stop crying too. You succeeded, okay? Can't you remember for a second? And how did you cry like boiling water?"

Alice wiped away her tears in the blink of an eye, prompting everyone to exclaim that she was a master. Alice stammered, "I succeeded?"

"Ok!"

"I...I...So I'm the boss's wife now?"

"Ok!"

"I...I...Yay! I knew I'd succeed! I'm going to tell Mom! Let's see if she dares to look down on me again!"

Erina said irritably, "You don't need to call anymore, Aunt Leonora won't answer your call."

"Huh?! Why?! Wait... Before that! Erina! You idiot! You not only tried to take it from me, but you also tried to scare me! Do you know I was about to cry just now?!"

Erina tilted her head and said, "Don't wrong me. I'm not trying to scare you. You need to have evidence to back up your claims."

"What did you mean when you said it might upset me?!"

"You succeeded, aren't you excited? Isn't this thrilling?"

"That...that makes so much sense...then...then why did you sigh after you finished?! What did you sigh about?!"

Erina said casually, "Although you'll be very excited, you should try to control yourself. That's what I mean by 'but'."

"Finish what you've said! And why are you sighing?"

"I was halfway through my story when I suddenly realized I actually have a sister like you, and we even confessed our feelings on the same day. I just feel a little sorry for myself..."

"Huh?! No, I..."

"And you even care if I sigh?"

"I... Erina!"

"Ok?"

"Idiot! Big idiot!"

Erina raised an eyebrow, about to retort, when she suddenly remembered something and waved her hand, saying, "I'm in a good mood today, I'm too lazy to argue with you, and you've already suffered so much, I won't bully you anymore."

"Terrible? How am I miserable? Hey? What are you guys laughing at?"

"N-nothing...it's nothing!"

Alice scratched her head, looking puzzled, but still smiled and said, "White..."

Before Alice could finish speaking, everyone pointed to the side. Alice stood up and looked into the distance, where she saw Bai Yu chatting with a white-haired beauty who hadn't been there before.

Alice smiled and then ran over, shouting something like, "Erina! You're not going to beat me this time!"

"Hey! Don't..." xn

As soon as everyone opened their mouths, Alice ran out. Erina and the others covered their faces, and Nakiri Managi sighed and said, "It's over, Alice is doomed."

"Forget it, I'll just observe from the sidelines..."

"Hmm..." xn

Alice was still secretly pleased. "What a fool! He's sober now and instead of clinging to Bai Yu, he's chatting away? Isn't that stupid?!" she thought. "That woman who wasn't here a moment ago probably just caught up with us. I should go over and say hello!"

Alice thought so, but she had no idea how big the consequences of her idea would be. Alice even secretly looked back and saw that Lucifer and the others were standing there watching her.

"Hmm? Why isn't anyone coming over? This is so strange... Oh well, never mind!"

Justice laughed and said, "Hey! Mengmeng! If we look at it this way, if Alice had a bunny ear headband, she'd be a little white rabbit too! Now you have company."

"I'm not a rabbit!"

"I know, I know, you're much cuter than a rabbit."

"Hmm... Oh? By the way, Erina, you guys just woke up from a hangover, do you have a headache?"

Nakiri Managi rubbed her forehead and said, "This hurts more than usual... I drank too much..."

"I don't have a headache, but I feel a bit lightheaded..."

"Um....."

Chapter 155 The crowd craving spicy hot pot, and Rantabi who loves street food (Please subscribe~)

Erina and the other two had just sobered up. This was only the second time Erina and Hisako had drunk alcohol, including yesterday, and they had drunk so much. The beer here is also stronger than the beer in the East, so it would be strange if they didn't get dizzy.

Cerberus, carrying a water jug, said, "Hey, Master... Bai Yu made some herbal tea, is it... is it... is it... what was it again?"

Eirin Yagokoro chuckled and said, "It can clear heat and reduce internal fire, moisten the lungs and stop coughing, calm the mind and focus the spirit. You should all drink some. Although it's not as warm as before, it's still warm."

Erina paused for a moment, scratched her head, and said, "Herbal tea? You mean that sold in vending machines? That tastes awful, I don't want to drink it... It tastes like cheap saccharin, like sprinkling white sugar made from fermented herring cans on your tongue!"

Lucifer stared blankly and said, "How did you come to such an opinion?"

Nakiri Managi nodded and said, "This is the ability of God Tongue to materialize taste. It can materialize taste into a real image. That's why God Tongue reacts so strongly when it eats delicious food or very unpalatable food."

Yuuko Ichihara tilted her head and said, "So, in other words, your God Tongue, besides enhancing your sense of taste, also allows you to visualize taste as a scene. You are not only tasting the flavor, but also observing it?"

"Yeah!" x2

Yoru no Mori said with some surprise, "Oh, I see. When I first read the magazine, I thought it was just a super sense of taste. It really does seem like an amazing talent."

"Of course, but... never mind, it's all in the past. But I've never tried herbal tea before, is it really that bad?"

Erina nodded, and Yumiko said gently, "No, this is made by Shiraha using Chinese medicine. It's not like the drinks sold outside. It's very effective after you drink it."

Erina pursed her lips and said, "Huh? Traditional Chinese medicine...it must be very bitter..."

"Sweet, not bitter at all."

"Eh? I'll try it then... Hmm... Hmm? Hmm?! Ah! It's so delicious! It's like drinking water after being dehydrated for more than ten days in the desert! My stomach feels warm and cozy, but there's a very calming feeling, and my head doesn't hurt as much anymore!"

Nakiri Managi paused for a moment and poured herself a cup. The next moment, she had the same feeling. Hisako drank a cup before tilting her head and saying, "Hmm... isn't this that summer-cooling tea from China made with more than twenty kinds of Chinese herbs?"

“That’s right, Hisako, so you’ve heard about this since you’re researching medicinal cuisine.”

"Yes, herbal tea is called herbal tea because its medicinal properties are cooling. In reality, it is just a kind of Chinese herbal beverage, similar to turtle jelly and grass jelly."

"Don't even mention grass jelly..."

"Hey? Rantabee, what's wrong?"

After Lantabi finished speaking, Nakiri Managi said irritably, "I'm really fed up with you. So, was the mango smoothie you drank delicious?"

"It tastes good, but if the restaurant I'm tasting has this drink, I'll give it a failing grade."

Sonoko asked in confusion, "If it tastes good, why would you give it a failing grade?"

"Yeah, just because it tastes good doesn't mean I have to give it a passing grade. Those junk foods taste good too, do you think I'd give them a good review? This is clearly not a real mango smoothie. It's okay to drink to satisfy a craving, but you expect me to give it a good review? If they dare to serve food like this, I'd shut the shop down!"

Everyone silently gave her a thumbs up; this girl seemed pretty reliable. Lucifer said irritably, "Looks like you're enjoying life."

"Of course, I'm different from Klara and the others. They only eat at fancy restaurants, while I prefer street food when I'm out shopping."

"So, did that mango smoothie from that day not affect your sense of taste?"

"No, but I have diarrhea!"

"Pfft..." xn

The judge covered his face and said, "What am I expecting... just because the mango smoothie isn't clean?"

"No, no, that's not it. Although it's related to the mango smoothie, I had spicy hot pot for lunch, it was super spicy and numbing, and then after drinking this smoothie, the hot and cold sensation gave me diarrhea..."

"Malatang?"

Rantabi paused for a moment, then said incredulously, "No way! You guys have never even tried mala tang?!"
