The King of Elden's Multiverse Life

A few seconds later, Luo Yu received more than twenty photos of Yukino taken by Yang Nai from various angles on his phone.

It must be said that Haruno's photography skills are quite good; she captured Yukino's cuteness in every photo.

Yang Nai leaned closer to Luo Yu and whispered, "How is it? Not bad, right? Isn't Yukino cute?"

Luo Yu wasn't being superstitious and said affirmatively, "Yes, she is indeed very cute."

"Hehe, right? But Luo Yu-kun, with so many photos of Yukino on your phone, won't Miss Lani be jealous?"

Luo Yu blinked, glanced at Yang Nai beside her, and then, to her surprise, turned on her phone's camera and took a picture of Yang Nai.

"Now that we have your photos, do you think Lani will get angry and take it out on you?"

"I didn't expect Miss Lani to be so generous. Then I won't worry anymore. But this photo doesn't look good. Luo Yujun, delete it quickly and let's take a new one."

Then she took Luo Yu's arm and pulled him to take a selfie together.

A woman with a good figure affectionately pulled him to take a picture, pressing her arm against his without any attempt to hide it, and Luo Yu naturally did not refuse.

Soon, several photos of the two of them taken by Yang Nai appeared on the phone.

Looking at these photos, Luo Yu found it somewhat amusing.

What would Yang Nai think if she knew that Lani not only wasn't angry, but also dragged Luo Yu along last night to listen to the sounds of Yukino generating electricity?

Given his sister-obsessed personality, he'll definitely be dumbfounded.

Five minutes later, their time with the pandas was over. Although they were a little reluctant to leave, Yukino and Kaguya Shinomiya left the special room and continued to explore the zoo.

It wasn't until 4 PM that the group left Ueno Zoo and went to a private teahouse run by Kaguya Shinomiya for afternoon tea.

Although she is only the youngest daughter of the Shinomiya family and has virtually no right to inherit, she is still the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family. She still has some businesses and some spare money, which allows her to start some businesses that she likes.

The teahouse is one of them, and Kaguya Shinomiya has hired several very skilled tea masters here, so the experience is quite good.

Looking at the tea master in front of him, dressed in a kimono and elegantly brewing tea, Luo Yu couldn't help but think of the scene in the Service Club when Yukino demonstrated the tea ceremony to him.

When Luo Yu turned to look at Yukino, Yukino also looked over as if sensing his gaze.

The two looked at each other, and Yukino's fair face quickly flushed red. She immediately turned her head away to avoid Luo Yu's gaze.

She's shy, how cute.

Luo Yu's lips curled up slightly, already looking forward to how he would tease the girl when he returned to Qianye.

After enjoying the tea and resting for a while at the teahouse, it was time to go have dinner.

Tonight's dinner was at a restaurant that Shinomiya Kaguya had booked that morning and prepared all day.

"The Fog House?"

Looking at the restaurant's sign, Lani asked curiously, "Is this restaurant very famous?"

Hayasaka Ai explained from the side, "This restaurant is a Japanese restaurant opened by Hinako Inui, a graduate of the 80th class of Totsuki Academy and the second seat of the Elite Ten. It ranks among the top three Japanese restaurants in Tokyo. The other two restaurants have chefs who have been in the industry for more than 30 years, but they can't beat Hinako Inui."

Luo Yu stroked her chin and looked at Yang Nai, saying, "Aren't you studying in Tokyo? Have you ever been here before?"

Yang Nai shook her head and said, "You think too highly of me. The Kiriya is very famous, and the number of customers they serve each day is fixed. Lunch is fine, but dinner is by reservation only. You can't get in without a reservation, and even then, you might not get one. But judging from this situation, it seems like they've booked the whole place, right?"

Just as I asked the question, the door to the mist house opened, and a woman wearing a kimono and with a brown ponytail walked out with a smile.

"It really is a private event, since it's a rare request from Kaguya, of course I'll grant it! Hello everyone, I'm Hinako Inui, the head chef of Kiriya. Tonight's dinner will be prepared by me, please come in~~"

Led by Hinako Inui, the group entered the Misty House.

As a Japanese restaurant, Kiriya is decorated entirely in a Japanese style, with individual private rooms throughout.

However, since the entire place was booked for the day, there were no other customers in the store.

Soon, the group arrived at the largest and most luxurious private room located at the very back.

"Everyone, please come in."

After inviting everyone in and seated, Inui Hinako looked at Luo Yu and the others, smiling as she said, "Please wait a moment, the food will be served soon. But before that, does anyone have any dietary restrictions?"

Everyone shook their heads; none of them were picky eaters.

"I understand, please wait a moment."

After Hinako Inui left, Luo Yu looked around the private room and said with a smile, "As expected of a restaurant run by one of the Elite Ten of Totsuki Academy, it shows meticulous attention to detail in every aspect. I really didn't expect that Miss Shinomiya would bring us here for dinner."

Kaguya Shinomiya, seated upright, replied, "The best restaurant I can book in Tokyo is Kiriya. Hinako Inui is an excellent cook; I'm sure everyone will be satisfied."

"I still have faith in the level of the Elite Ten."

Taking a sip of tea, Luo Yu said with a smile, "Won't Chef Inui Hinako be surprised when she finds out I'm already a shareholder of Totsuki?"

After arriving here, Luo Yu remembered that the Mist Empress had also appeared in the early episodes of Food Wars!

But before that...

Luo Yu turned her head and glanced at a seat in the corner.

Chapter 72 Nurarihyon: Rise of the Yokai Clan (7/10)

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and a group of waiters came in, respectfully serving various appetizers.

Picking up a piece of cold dish with her chopsticks, Luo Yu raised an eyebrow: "It tastes really good. The refreshing texture, combined with the freshness of the vegetables, has whetted my appetite and makes me really look forward to the next dish."

"Mmm, as expected of the head chef of the Kiriya restaurant! I've been here several times before, but I've never been able to taste her cooking. I'm so lucky today!"

Hearing this, Luo Yu put down his chopsticks, smiled and looked at the bald old man in a brown kimono in the corner, saying, "Grandpa, if you want to freeload, you should have just said so from the beginning. It's not like I wouldn't let you join me."

Luo Yu's words stunned everyone present except for Lani.

"Old man?"

Following Luo Yu's gaze, Kaguya Shinomiya looked over and indeed saw a bald old man slowly appear in her line of sight.

The sudden appearance of the figure made everyone think of evil spirits or cursed spirits that ordinary people cannot see, and they were instinctively frightened.

"This is?!"

Hayasaka Ai, who was sitting next to Shinomiya Kaguya, also became alert and put one hand behind her back.

"So you really did find it! You're something else, young man, not even afraid of those top-tier cursed spirits!"

After finishing his food, the bald old man laughed heartily, "Little maid over there, don't be so nervous. I'm not a bad person, I just wanted to freeload a meal! Besides, your little pistol is useless against me!"

Luo Yu also said, "Relax, Miss Hayasaka. The other party is the legendary great yokai Nurarihyon. If he doesn't want to, even if I expose his identity, you won't be able to see him."

"This young man knows quite a lot!"

The old man glanced at Luo Yu and said with a smile, "I thought you hadn't noticed at first, but it seems you noticed a long time ago and really don't mind. Hahaha, sorry, I scared you little girls. Let me introduce myself. My name is Nurarihyon, the leader of the Nura Clan, a monster organization in Kanto. But normally, I'm just an old man who freeloads wherever I go."

"The Monster Organization..."

Hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya murmured, "I remember that the higher-ups of the Panxing Sect who came to the Shinomiya family mentioned that they wanted to find the Lord of Demons and Monsters, but the monster organizations in Kanto have always been very well hidden. Even the Panxing Sect couldn't find any clues from those scattered little monsters."

Taking a sip of tea, Nurarihyon chuckled and said, "Little girl from the Shinomiya family, you're right. The Panxing Cult is indeed looking for us, and it's not just them; other forces are too. However, we yokai are different from them. We have no interest in these things. We belong only to the night and won't cause trouble like those cursed spirits. That's too low-class. As for your Shinomiya family, if you're going to cooperate with the Panxing Cult, you'd better be prepared. It's not a good choice."

""

After a moment of silence, Kaguya Shinomiya replied, "I have no say in this matter."

"Yes, I do know that. I was just saying it casually."

As he spoke, Nurarihyon picked up a piece of grilled fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Oh! It feels like the fish in my mouth is coming to life! Hinako Inui, that little girl, her cooking skills are so much better than when she was in school!"

Hearing this, Luo Yu asked while eating, "It seems that the old man has been to Totsuki? Since you like to eat good food, wouldn't going to Totsuki be the best choice?"

"Hahaha, of course I've been there before. I even know Senzaemon Nakiri! It's just a pity that after going so many times, that guy got annoyed. Plus, there were more and more incidents caused by cursed spirits and evil spirits. Totsuki is also quite large, so for the safety of the students and teachers, Senzaemon Nakiri directly invited Satoru Gojo to set up a powerful barrier for Totsuki, preventing any cursed spirits or evil spirits from entering. But I never expected that even a youkai like me would be included. In the past few years, unless that old bastard personally invites me, I can't go at all. It really makes me furious!"

Is there a connection between Totsuki and Gojo Satoru?

However, given the size of Totsuki Academy, it is indeed necessary to take good protective measures. Inviting Gojo Satoru is to be expected, after all, he is the strongest jutsu master.

As they were talking, the door to the private room opened again, and the rest of the dishes began to be served.

A variety of fresh sashimi, fragrant stews, and freshly fried tempura made everyone temporarily forget about chatting and immerse themselves in the delicious food.

After taking a bite of tuna sashimi dipped in the special sauce and letting out a satisfied sigh, Nurarihyon looked at Luo Yu and said, "Luo Yu, you sparred with that top-tier cursed spirit yesterday. How did you feel about his strength?"

After enjoying a piece of tempura shrimp, Luo Yu said, "The opponent didn't use their full strength, nor did they use their domain. It was mainly because Rime suddenly slipped away, and they were wary of my hidden methods, so they didn't want to fight head-on. That's why I gained the upper hand. They do have some strength, but they're not top-tier. If they fought seriously, I could have finished them off in less than three minutes."

Nurarihyon narrowed his eyes and said with interest, "You're very confident, which makes me even more curious about your background. The magic and weapons you use are things I haven't seen in hundreds of years."

Luo Yu said with a smile, "Grandpa, there are many things you haven't seen. Compared to that, you should take better care of your health. It's only because you're a great demon, Nurarihyon. If it were any other demon, it wouldn't be possible to live for so many years even without a heart."

"The heart is gone?"

Everyone, including Lani, looked at the little old man in surprise.

Nurarihyon's expression gradually changed from a smile to seriousness as he looked at Luo Yu and said, "You know quite a lot."

Luo Yu smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Don't worry, if we were really enemies, we wouldn't have been able to eat together for so long. Compared to cursed spirits and evil spirits, I still have great respect for you, the lord of all demons and monsters. It's just a pity that dealing with that Feathered Fox won't be an easy task for you now."

After being serious for less than half a minute, Nurarihyon's expression relaxed again.

"Sigh, that's true, but it's all fate, so let's just go with the flow. Speaking of which, Luo Yu, now that you've become a shareholder of Far Moon, could you count this old man in when you attend Far Moon's big events?"

Seeing the smile reappear on Nurarihyon's face, Luo Yu couldn't help but smile as well.

He's a master of deception, blurring the lines between truth and falsehood; he's truly a slippery character, making it impossible to discern whether what he says is genuine or not.

However, there's really no need to worry about the fate of the Nurarihyon clan. As long as the plot doesn't go too far astray, they'll definitely win in the end.

The head of Nura: Nurarihyon's old man form is really ugly, just consider it a normal bald head.

Chapter 73 The Shinomiya Family's Scheme (8/10)

Fifteen minutes later, the door to the private room opened, and Hinako Inui personally brought in the prepared grilled eel rice, along with a series of exquisite dishes.

After serving the dishes one by one and dismissing the other staff, Hinako Inui smiled and said, "Everyone, how is it...? Hmm?"

Seeing Nurarihyon drinking with Luo Yu, Inui Hinako paused for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly, seemingly puzzled as to why there was an extra person.

Nurarihyon took a sip of sake and laughed, saying, "Hahaha, you look exactly like you when you were in school, little girl. It's a pity there's a big age gap, otherwise, with these cooking skills alone, I would want you to marry into our Nurarihyon family and become my grandson's wife!"

Luo Yu said helplessly, "Is it okay if she sees me?"

Nurarihyon shook his head, then looked at the bewildered Hinako Inui and said, "Little girl, when you were one of the Elite Ten at Totsuki, did you forget what your commander told you? If you find yourself making too much food without realizing it, or if there's suddenly less food, don't be too surprised. It's just that an old man who's been freeloading has come over."

Upon hearing this, Hinako Inui's eyes widened as memories of her school days flooded back. Pointing at Nurarihyon, she exclaimed incredulously, "Nurarihyon?! Does he really exist?! I always thought it was some kind of prank! A yokai actually exists?"

Nurarihyon picked up a piece of grilled eel, put it in his mouth, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Of course it exists. Do you think your commander-in-chief would joke around like that?"

Having been in her twenties for a while, after a brief moment of surprise, Inui Hinako calmed down and looked at Nurarihyon with a face full of curiosity, saying, "So, old man, did you often go to Totsuki to freeload?"

"Hahaha, I'm a slippery devil, this is just my hobby! You ten heroes, I've watched your cooking skills improve little by little. I remember what you said too, you used to love to cry!"

"Waaaaah, stop talking!!!"

Hinako Inui blushed deeply, never expecting that the other party knew all this, and ran out of the private room in embarrassment.

After taking a bite of eel rice, Yang asked curiously, "So, old man, as a yokai, do you usually just go around eating and drinking for free?"

"Otherwise what? It's not the Edo period anymore."

Holding his bowl and chopsticks, Nura Nurarihyon smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary old man. As for the Nura Clan, I'll wait for my grandson to come of age so he can inherit it. We yokai have our own way of surviving, unlike sorcerers and exorcists, and we don't have any conflicts of interest. Besides, we also have our own businesses in the human world; the Nura Clan is a major taxpayer!"

Everyone present almost burst out laughing at those words.

He really is an interesting old man.

Ten minutes later, Hinako Inui returned again and brought some more food.

Furthermore, they were even more surprised to learn that Luo Yu had received shares from the Shinomiya family and become one of Totsuki's shareholders.

"Sigh... Luo Yu-kun is really amazing as a shareholder of Totsuki! Oh right, I've already received an invitation to Totsuki's upcoming residential workshop for first-year high school students, inviting me to be a lecturer. Since he's a shareholder, and a newly appointed one at that, Totsuki will probably extend an invitation to Luo Yu-kun!"

"Living and studying in accommodation," Luo Yu nodded, recalling that part of the plot.

"Yes, I'll find a time later to go to Totsuki Academy and meet Senzaemon Nakiri. Then I'll know."

Hinako Inui smiled at Lani and the others, clapped her hands, and said, "If possible, I hope everyone can come! This is going to be a very lively event, and you'll get to taste the dishes of many talented students. It'll definitely be worth the trip!"

At 7:30 p.m., after having eaten and drunk their fill, Luo Yu and his group, accompanied by Inui Hinako, walked out of the Mizuya.

Hinako Inui also gave everyone her business card.

"If any of you would like to dine at Wuwu in the future, please feel free to give me a call and I will reserve a private room."

"Thank you, Chef Qian."

Luo Yu was very satisfied with today's meal and made up his mind that this would definitely be a must-visit restaurant for him whenever he came to Tokyo again.
