People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"This film is based on a true story..."

Lucifer and Cerberus clearly didn't understand. Seeing their bewildered expressions, Bai Yu suddenly thought of a question and said to Lucifer, "Lucifer, are all the people in Hell people who went there because they committed sins? If so, there should be a lot of people, right?"

Lucifer nodded and said, "Hmm~ There are still many people in Hell, and the punishment for the guilty is very severe. Why do you ask that?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said softly, "I suddenly thought of a sentence, a sentence that always gives me this feeling after watching movies like this: Hell is empty, all the devils are here..."

"Huh?! Why is there such a comment?! And once you enter Hell, you can't get out. Right now, the only demons who have come out are me and Cerberus!"

Bai Yu didn't say anything, just found two movies for the two of them, then stretched and said, "You guys watch them first~ I'm going to tidy up the shop~ I'm sure you'll feel the same way after watching them~"

Bai Yu left after saying that. Lucifer and Cerberus stared blankly at the movie in front of them. They didn't say anything and just silently moved closer to each other.

When Lucifer saw the opening black screen with white text, "This film is based on a true story," he instinctively felt uncomfortable, but he still watched patiently.

Bai Yu was tidying up the shop downstairs. Although the shop could be automatically cleaned, Bai Yu still preferred to tidy it up himself from time to time, because it made his life more fulfilling and gave him a better feeling of running a restaurant.

Forty minutes later, Bai Yu stretched and looked at the shop, which was as clean as ever. He nodded, turned around and went back to the kitchen to prepare some snacks and drinks for Lucifer and the others.

"Lucifer, Cerberus...wait, what's with those expressions?"

When Bai Yu pushed open the door and walked in, he saw two important figures from Hell looking furious. Upon seeing Bai Yu enter, Cerberus exclaimed, "Master, master, master! Humans like this are so wicked! Such a young child hasn't done anything wrong... how could they... be so cruel!"

Lucifer gritted his teeth and said, "Indeed, even demons wouldn't lay a hand on an ordinary person who hasn't done anything evil, let alone an innocent child! That's going too far!"

Bai Yu chuckled and sat down beside the two, placing the freshly baked cookies, prepared jam, and brewed black tea in front of them. Smiling, she said, "Now you know what real horror movies are like, right?"

Lucifer nodded, looking at the movie in front of him with some resentment, and said, "Indeed... now it seems that those so-called ghosts and monsters are really not scary compared to these evil humans. That line, 'Adapted from a true story,' is truly chilling when you think about it..."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "That's right~ And I can tell you something even more terrifying~"

Lucifer was taken aback and said with some surprise, "This isn't the most terrifying thing?!"

Bai Yu looked at the children in the movie, their faces filled with pain and fear, and said softly, "These kinds of movies are made quite often."

Lucifer was taken aback and didn't react at first, then he suddenly realized that this sentence meant that such things were not uncommon.

After pouring Lucifer a cup of black tea, Bai Yu asked, "Do you want to watch the whole movie or watch another one?"

"Watch it all! Watch it all!"

"I've finished watching! I want to see what kind of punishment this demon in human skin will receive!"

Bai Yu was taken aback and said that the ending might not be what he wanted to see. Then he silently lowered his head and started playing on his phone. He had no intention of watching this movie a second time. The darkness and fear in it were enough to leave a deep impression and make it unforgettable.

An hour later, Bai Yu suddenly saw Lucifer clench his fist, and Cerberus also looked incredulous. Lucifer shouted, "How come such a person is completely unharmed! On the contrary, the good people are driven to their deaths?!"

Cerberus, equally incredulous, said, "This isn't right... People like that are wiped out of Hell, so why is nothing happening to them...?"

Bai Yu sighed, shook his head, and said, "That's reality. Alright~ You must be in a terrible mood now~ You've eaten quite a few snacks, so you shouldn't be hungry~ It's already afternoon, so... let's go out for a walk to cheer you up~"

"Hmm..." x2

Both of them were visibly downcast, but a glimmer of light also flashed in Lucifer's eyes. She was, after all, the Queen of Hell, and she now had a very righteous idea...

Chapter 43 Cerberus's Jealousy (Please add to your favorites!!!)

Lucifer had a very bold and righteous idea, but after thinking about it, she realized she couldn't put it into practice yet. To be precise, she was a little panicked. If she wanted to carry out this idea, she would have to go back to Hell.

But she felt that if she went back, she might not be able to get out again, and if she could get out, those disobedient high-ranking officials would definitely follow her out of curiosity. In that case... Lucifer thought of this and looked at Bai Yu, who was walking ahead and occasionally teasing Cerberus.

"Maybe we shouldn't go back for now..."

"Lucifer~"

"Huh?! What is it?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to confirm something with you: are all those legendary demons from hell really strange-looking beings? Or are they all, like you and Cerberus, actually a group of tsundere girls?"

Before Lucifer could speak, Cerberus cried out, "Master, master, master! I testify! Only Lucifer is like this!"

Lucifer's lips twitched. Good heavens, what a fickle, womanizing, and friendless scoundrel!

Lucifer coughed lightly and said, "It's true that most of those in charge are young girls, but there are a few you'd better not even think about, because their personalities are a bit too strange..."

"Huh? Is there anything stranger than your tsundere attitude?"

"I'll say it again! I'm not being tsundere! I'm being arrogant!"

"Fine, fine, you're just being arrogant, aren't you? Are they all some kind of bizarre characters?"

Lucifer naturally noticed the perfunctory tone in Bai Yu's words, but she had already given up. She sighed and said, "In terms of appearance, it's not so bad, but... the main problem is that their personalities are too unpredictable, and there are also some who are heavy smokers and drinkers..."

Upon hearing Lucifer's words, Bai Yu suddenly had a vision in her mind: a group of fair-skinned girls with white hair, just like Lucifer and Cerberus, dressed in suits, smoking and drinking.

Thinking about this, Bai Yu suddenly felt that the future of Hell was bleak...

Lucifer, seeing Bai Yu's expression, assumed that Bai Yu was interested in Hell, but she never expected that Bai Yu's thoughts at this moment were very simple, even frighteningly simple.

Bai Yu's mind was now filled with only one thought: what kind of cigarettes and alcohol could make demons addicted? Most importantly, he was concerned about the ingredients and raw materials in the book.

"Bai Yu...Bai Yu!"

"Huh? What's wrong? Lucifer, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"

Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was just about to ask you that! You suddenly spaced out? What were you thinking about?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment, and finally voiced his thoughts. As soon as he said it, Lucifer and Cerberus were stunned. Good heavens, what was there to think about in this question?!

However, Lucifer was also a little curious as to why one of those two guys liked to smoke and the other liked to drink. She was quite curious about it.

After thinking for a while, Lucifer shook his head and said, "That's not important. What's important is where we're going now?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Well... if I had to choose, I'd personally like to take a walk in the park. There's a pretty nice pet shop near the park before."

"A pet...pet shop?!"

Upon hearing this, Cerberus immediately bristled, grabbing Bai Yu's arm and shouting, "Master, master, master! You already have me! You're not allowed to look at other dogs!"

Cerberus might not be jealous of other girls, but she would absolutely not let other dogs get away with it! Any dog ​​that dares to steal her owner will be turned into a hot pot!

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "I'm not going to buy a pet~ I just think they're quite cute~"

Cerberus cried out anxiously, "No, no, no! You're not allowed to say other dogs are cute! Master! You absolutely cannot go to the pet store! Absolutely!"

Bai Yu said with a hint of helplessness, "Alright~ Cerberus, don't worry~ You know I run a restaurant~ Of course I can't just keep any pet~ Cerberus can turn into a human, so he's the only option~ and of course the best option~"

Cerberus's ears twitched, and his mood improved considerably, but after taking only a few steps, he turned around and shouted, "Master, you absolutely cannot look at other dogs!"

Bai Yu nodded without saying anything, while Lucifer chuckled and said, "Doesn't it seem quite troublesome?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "If a dog can say something like that, it proves that it really likes its owner and of course it won't find it troublesome."

Lucifer glanced at Bai Yu, then at Cerberus, who had run ahead and seemed lost in thought. She seemed to understand why Cerberus was fixated on Bai Yu...

"Phew~ I'm pretty tired~ Why does Cerberus suddenly have to go around in circles to get back?"

Cerberus said very seriously, "Because I smelled another dog! So I dragged my owner away!"

Bai Yu said with a hint of helplessness, "They're surprisingly persistent, aren't they?"

"Of course! My master is mine! No other dog can come near me!"

Bai Yu chuckled, ruffled Cerberus's hair, stretched as he looked at the gradually darkening sky, and said to Lucifer, who was sitting there like a withdrawn child, "Lucifer~ I actually think... that stage play was pretty good, wasn't it..."

Lucifer looked at Bai Yu with a gloomy expression, then silently lowered her head. She would never forget the humiliation of today. Damn humans, how dare they film some story about the birth of Lucifer?! And an open-air play at that?! She almost rushed up and tore these guys apart several times because the plot was completely made up by their own imagination!

God knows, when she heard that Lucifer had fallen into hell and become a heinous demon for his beloved wife, she was completely devastated. She, the Queen of Hell, for her beloved wife?! What a joke!

Bai Yu watched the whole thing intently, and the most crucial thing was that after Cerberus finished watching, he actually grabbed her hand and said to her, "Lucifer...so you're really that pitiful? And who's your beloved wife? The Judge? She does seem to have a demon crown too..."

Lucifer almost betrayed his own family at that moment, grabbing Cerberus's face and shouting, "You're the one who loves his wife! I fell from the sky! Where would I get a wife?! And what kind of joke is this about a woman marrying a wife?! Most importantly, don't you know my situation?!"

After breaking free, Cerberus thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I see."

After saying that, he slipped away to Bai Yu's place. Lucifer was about to turn around and settle accounts with those guys when he found that they were all gone. He turned around and saw Bai Yu walking forward with Cerberus. For some reason, he felt a little aggrieved and wronged, but he still followed along without any dignity.

That's why we're in this situation now...

Chapter 44 The Excited Senzaemon (Please add to your favorites!!!!)

In a black sedan heading towards Totsuki Academy, the middle-aged man who had eaten ramen at the shop earlier sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window with a faint smile.

A muscular man with a buzz cut, dressed in a suit, sat in the driver's seat next to him and said helplessly, "Jiro, you just suddenly showed up without saying a word, and then you just pulled me over here. What are you trying to do?"

Looking out the window, Yukihira Joichiro smiled and said, "Gin~ Isn't it great to have a free meal at Grandpa's? I'm only inviting you because we're good friends~"

Dojima Gin said irritably, "That doesn't mean I have to drive myself, does it? It seems like it's something urgent. Is it because of Nakamura Azami? Or something else?"

Yukihira Joichiro sighed and said, "If this matter is resolved, we won't have to worry about his problems anymore. Let's deal with it when we get there."

"How mysterious! We're almost there. We can't be soft-hearted and take advantage of the old man's rare opportunity to get a free meal!"

"Don't worry~ The old man will definitely not be petty in this matter~ Open it quickly~ I can already see the gate to Totsuki."

"Okay~"

At this moment, Senzaemon Nakiri temporarily stopped all his work and sat alone in the reception room of the Nakiri residence. Although he sat as still as a mountain, he kept glancing at the clock and the sign at the door. His mood was not as relaxed as he appeared.

The sound of brakes rang out, and Senzaemon Nakiri's lips unconsciously curled up slightly, but he remained seated as steady as a mountain.

"Hey~ Grandpa~ We're here~ Where's dinner?"

"Yeah, I drove all the way here!"

Senzaemon Nakiri glanced at the two of them, chuckled, and said, "Alright, sit down first."

After saying that, he called out to the door, "Serve the food!" and then sat there silently until a sumptuous feast was laid out. Then, he looked at Yukihira Joichiro and said, "Joichiro, don't rush to eat. Tell me carefully what that kid Shiraha said."

Jōichirō put down his chopsticks and recounted everything Shiraha had said in detail. Dojima Gin, who was standing to the side, went from not paying much attention at first to being shocked and then pleasantly surprised.

Dojima Gin exclaimed with delight, "Jōichirō, are you sure? Is there really a way to cure Managi's God Tongue?! You haven't been tricked, have you?!"

Joichiro shook his head and said, "No, you'll know how true his words are once you've tasted that kid's cooking. I believe him. And to be honest, I feel that kid could at least satisfy Managi's taste buds..."

Dojima Gin asked with some surprise, "So you've eaten that kid Shiraha's cooking? Was it excellent? What did you eat?"

Joichiro Yukihira sighed and said, "You might not believe it, but I only ate a bowl of ramen, ordered a spring roll and some tempura."

Dojima Gin was a little startled. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Nakiri Senzaemon laugh and say, "Hmm~ that's the kid's level. That's not a problem. Besides, if that kid dares to say something like that, he definitely won't lie. It seems we can find some time to have Managi come back!"

Senzaemon Nakiri and Joichiro Yukihira's words piqued Gin Dojima's curiosity about the shop. He said to the two of them, "You guys are so disloyal! No one told me about such an amazing shop. Tell me where it is!"

Senzaemon Nakiri, being a regular, quickly explained the location. Gin Dojima, having memorized it, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But there's still a problem: how do we get in touch with Managi? She hasn't answered anyone's calls in ages!"

Yukihira Joichiro sighed, then gave a nonchalant laugh and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle this. I'm sure Managi won't kick me out."

"Of course not~ After all, you, as her senior, took good care of her back then. Anyway, let's eat first, I'm starving!"

"Ok!"

Meanwhile, in Bai Yu's small shop, Bai Yu looked at Lucifer, who was still looking depressed, and said with a smile, "What? Still bothered by that story?"

Lucifer snorted and gritted his teeth, saying, "Just thinking about it makes me angry!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and then said gently, "Alright~ Isn't this a good thing?"

"A good thing?! They can even write such an outrageous version of the story! And this is a good thing?!"

While eating the braised pork that Bai Yu had promised to make for her last night, Cerberus looked at Bai Yu with a puzzled expression. Such an outrageous story was unbearable for a human, let alone a demon.

Bai Yu said matter-of-factly, "Of course~ Think about it~ If you weren't famous, why would so many people want to adapt your story? Other demons don't have as many storylines, right~"

Lucifer paused, realizing there was some truth to what Bai Yu said. Bai Yu continued, "Besides, you said they are mortals, so how could they possibly know the true, complete story? They might just come up with a whole bunch of ideas based on a particular detail and then change them into a story."

Lucifer nodded, agreeing that it made a lot of sense. Bai Yu, seeing Lucifer's expression, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "And you don't need to worry at all~ Let me ask you a question: Are Satan and Lucifer the same person?"

Lucifer shook his head and said, "Of course not~ The systems are completely different, okay?"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "So, many people think that Satan and Lucifer are the same person, and some even think that Cain, Satan, and Lucifer are the same person!"

Lucifer was stunned for a moment, then said with a look of shock, "How is that possible!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Of course it's possible~ Look at the Greek mythology system, Zeus alone has many titles, and there must be some that are misunderstood. So, relax~ Zeus is definitely famous, so he has many nicknames. The way you are now proves that you are very famous, doesn't it?"

Lucifer nodded in agreement. That was indeed the case. Only famous figures in myths would have different myths written about them by people from different places. Now that he thought about it, he should be happy that he was famous.
