People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Atobe glanced at Fuji Yumiko, whose face was slightly flushed, and said with some admiration, "He really is a winner in life. Wait, why is that old woman attacking again?"

"Hello? What's up?"

"Huh? You ran off without knowing which tennis court to go to? Sure enough, this is the kind of thing only an idiot like you would do. The address is above the old recreational park."

"Hey! You old woman, don't go too far! Hey!"

Seeing Atobe trembling with rage, clutching the phone that had just been hung up, the Hyotei team members were all filled with admiration. They admired this unfamiliar Suzuki family heiress; to think she could make Atobe so angry—this girl's future was limitless...

Chapter 88 The Magic of Picnics: Lunch Should Be Enjoyable (Please Subscribe~)

Atobe Keigo was very interested in Shiroha at this time, as were Oshitari Yuushi and the others. It was surprising that Shiroha, such a good tennis player, didn't play tennis. However, Tezuka and the others said that Shiroha's cooking was even better than his tennis skills.

They were all wondering what kind of dish could have earned such praise. Instead of chatting with these teenagers, Fuji Yumiko was having a great time talking to Lucifer.

As mentioned before, people from different worlds and different professions can create very clever misunderstandings. Lucifer and Fuji Yumiko were talking about performance issues, but one was talking about hell and the other was talking about a human company, yet strangely nothing seemed amiss.

Fuji and Tezuka seemed to be spurred on by Shiraha's skill, and they both started practicing their game on their own initiative. Atobe and the others also found an empty court to play.

Compared to the professional players here, the style of Bai Yu and Cerberus next door is a bit strange. When Bai Yu hits the ball, Cerberus catches it with his hand, runs over to hand it to Bai Yu, and then goes back to stand still.

Bai Yu looked at the tennis ball in his hand and didn't know what to say for a moment. It really was a dog's nature. But this did seem much more interesting than playing tennis.

Just as everyone was getting into the zone, a short-haired girl ran up. The moment Atobe Keigo saw her, he was completely taken aback.

Hey! You brat! Where's Brother Bai Yu?!

Keigo Atobe completely lost interest in catching the ball. Holding his racket, he yelled irritably, "Hey! Old woman! You're so noisy! Can't you see? It's right in front of you!"

Just as Sonoko was about to say something, she saw Shiraha walking over with the still-unsatisfied Cerberus and said gently, "Sonoko? What brings you here?"

Sonoko's attitude towards Shiraha and Atobe was completely different. She said very gently, "Atobe called me earlier and said you were here. Oh, I remember you're Cerberus, right?"

Cerberus nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Ah! You're Sonoko! The Sonoko who was really tricked by Kirari!"

Sonoko Suzuki's lips twitched. She knew Cerberus was a very simple and naive child, otherwise she would have explained it to him long ago.

Sonoko Suzuki said irritably, "Kirari? That scheming Kirari has only ever won two cups of coffee. I trusted her too much, that's why I've been tricked so many times~"

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head. In a sense, Qi Luoli really liked teasing Sonoko. Although they were both rich heiresses, Sonoko was obviously much more innocent and kind, and she was also a very loyal and passionate person. Sometimes she was also a bit silly, so Qi Luoli would relax whenever she saw Sonoko trembling with anger.

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Let's go to Yumiko and the others first. How did you get here?"

"Take a taxi!"

Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment and said, "You really are incredibly rich~ It's not like you're leaving right away, you didn't need to come in such a hurry."

Sonoko smiled, then waved to Yumiko Fuji and called out, "Yumiko-nee!"

Yumiko Fuji smiled and waved, then said to Lucifer beside her, "This is Sonoko. She's usually very lively. I remember you talked to Sonoko for a while, didn't you?"

Lucifer nodded and said, "Hmm, I remember her. She was a very lively child. But why did she tie her hair up? I feel like it would look better if it were down."

"You're right, but Sonoko seems to like it this way, though we don't know why."

While the two were chatting, Bai Yu returned with Sonoko and Cerberus. Sonoko was very happy to see Fuji Yumiko. When she saw Lucifer's perfect figure and delicate face, she said with some envy, "Lucifer, you and Cerberus are indeed much prettier than in the photos!"

Before Shiraha could even take a sip from the cup that Fuji Yumiko had just handed him, he heard a gurgling sound. Shiraha was startled, looked around, and then looked at Sonoko.

Sonoko said somewhat awkwardly, "I forgot to eat breakfast..."

"Haven't you eaten for so long? Is something wrong?"

Sonoko sighed and said, "I promised Ran I'd go shopping for clothes today, so I started doing my homework this morning. It's not fair! Why doesn't Kirari have to do homework?!"

Yumiko said softly, "Because she is the student council president and has the best grades. I think her school has the largest student council."

Sonoko sighed, and Shiraha checked the time and said, "It's about time. Let's find a place to eat. I brought some food. Fuji and Tezuka, come along too. I remember what you like to eat."

The two nodded, and as Bai Yu and the others left, Atobe Keigo wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "A restaurant... interesting... Shinobu, it's your turn to serve."

Finally, guided by Fuji, Bai Yu and the others found a pavilion. Bai Yu took the package from Cerberus's hand and said with a smile, "Fuji, it seems you had this planned all along."

Fuji said gently, "That's somewhat true, but when the season comes, the cherry blossom trees around here will be in full bloom, which is very beautiful."

"Eh~ There's a place like this? It's really nice. Let's eat first, or Sonoko might starve to death~"

Sonoko rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not starving to death, but it's been a long time since I've had your cooking, Shiraha-nii, I'm kind of looking forward to it~"

"Then eat more."

Bai Yu didn't make a single-person bento box; instead, she prepared a lot of dishes. Although most of them were snacks, they looked quite delicious when placed in the bento box and decorated.

Bai Yu placed a bento box in front of Tezuka and said with a smile, "I guessed that Fuji might call you over, so I prepared this for you."

Tezuka paused for a moment after opening the bento box, his eyes immediately drawn to the long, glistening, and enticing strips of eel. He adjusted his glasses and said, "It's grilled eel..."

"Of course, I remember very clearly, you really like this. By the way, you can add some tea yourself~"

Bai Yu took out a large thermos from his package. Inside was tea for making ochazuke (rice with tea). Tezuka had always loved eel tea, and Bai Yu had prepared this for him knowing he might be coming.

Tezuka's eyes lit up when he saw the fragrant and steaming tea used for Shiraha's secret tea-soaked rice being poured into the box. For tea-soaked rice, the process of pouring tea into the bowl is sacred, because it is the most important transformation and the birth of a completely new ingredient.

The aroma of tea whetted everyone's appetite. After exercising, being able to enjoy their favorite food, especially on such a beautiful day, was a wonderful experience.

Listening to the sounds of nature, feeling the most relaxing environment, and sensing the cool breeze blowing by, carrying its refreshing scent—this is the magic of a picnic. Lunch should be pleasant and full of anticipation...

Chapter 89 An Irresistible Deliciousness, Kirari is Coming! (Please Subscribe~)

Eel tea is suitable for all ages. Even if you don't turn it into tea-soaked rice, but simply treat it as a grilled eel rice bowl, it is still an incredibly delicious dish.

Under the heat of the charcoal fire, the eel, which already has a unique texture, is slowly grilled until the skin is charred and fragrant, but underneath, the white meat remains tender and delicate.

Whether it's eel rice or eel tea, no successful eel rice will use sea eel because sea eel has a relatively poor taste. If you want to experience eel that surprises you with every bite and makes you addicted, river eel is the only choice.

After deboning fresh river eel meat, the large chunks of white meat, when grilled over charcoal, do not dry out but instead draw out the internal moisture, making it the perfect choice to enhance the umami flavor.

The essence of grilled eel lies in the cooking time, the texture and quality of the eel, and finally, the sauce. Whether it's grilled meat or grilled eel, when it's coated and completely submerged in the sauce, you can see the bright red sauce flowing down the delicate white meat and then placed on rice.

The sauce continues to flow, slowly seeping into the rice. This process is enjoyable and one of the best ways to whet your appetite. If you've never eaten eel rice before, and if you don't dislike fish, then congratulations, you've found something that can make you addicted after just one bite.

Looking at the steaming, fragrant eel tea, Tezuka said in a gentle, Japanese tone, "I'll begin..."

Then I picked up a spoon and started eating. One bite, and just as described, it was an addictive dish. The aroma of tea, the savory flavor of the grilled eel, the unique texture of the eel, the slightly sour and distinctive taste of the shredded pork belly, all finished with the fragrance of white sesame seeds and the umami of seaweed. (To be honest, writing this has made me hungry.)

This one sip is enough to calm you down, but you have no idea what exactly in the eel tea is causing this calm. Maybe it's the grilled eel, maybe it's the sweet and sour taste of the plum, maybe it's the refreshing tea. But this sense of tranquility isn't bad...

Unlike Tezuka, the others had a very traditional Japanese eating style, emphasizing health and eating relatively light meals.

Cerberus was happily eating something that looked like bread while holding a caramel-colored chicken wing in his hand.

Yumiko was much more refined, but in terms of taste, her taste was somewhat similar to Fuji's, though a bit milder. Fuji, on the other hand, had been eating Sichuan cuisine. After all, it was a picnic, so naturally they wouldn't prepare anything like sashimi.

Lucifer and Sonoko were quite interesting. The two of them were having a great time talking about Kirari. Sonoko was still a very unconventional person and didn't act like a lady at all. She did whatever she wanted. Lucifer was influenced by her and became a little more relaxed about eating.

At least for this cola chicken wing, Lucifer wouldn't have forked it onto his chopsticks and eaten it while talking before. To be fair, Lucifer really liked this cola chicken wing.

With a perfectly balanced sweet and savory flavor, the chicken wings have a smooth and fragrant skin, and the juicy chicken meat is tender and delicious. Every bite can stimulate the appetite of diners. This is a dish that children love and a snack that adults will not refuse. It may not be the most popular dish to eat with rice, but when it comes to what comes to mind first when you think of chicken wings, most people will immediately say cola chicken wings.

Unlike here, at this moment, in a place called the Private Hyakkaou Academy, a girl with double braids and light blue lipstick is playing with her mobile phone.

"Let's go out and have some fun tonight!"

"Yes!"

The girl was none other than Kirari Momobami. She licked her lips, looked at the wallpaper on her phone, and said with a smile, "Shiraha~ I've come to find you~"

Upon hearing this, a hint of envy flashed in the eyes of the girl beside her, but she said nothing. Just as Momobami Kirari was wondering what was going on, her phone rang. After picking it up and glancing at it, she felt terrible.

The picture shows a group photo of Lucifer and his friends having a picnic. The most crucial point is that the photo was taken by Sonoko, and it was also Sonoko who posted it to the group chat. Kirari was completely dumbfounded. How could this idiot actually steal our house?!

Kirari clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Just as the girl beside her was wondering what was going on, she saw Momobami Kirari smile and then send a message. Sonoko shuddered when she saw it.

Lucifer and Yumiko glanced at their phones and sighed. Kirari then sent a message: "Sonoko, see you at the shop tonight..."

After she finished speaking, her profile picture went dark. They didn't know if Kirari had really gone offline, but Sonoko might be in for some bad luck tonight.

Just twenty minutes ago, she told her family that she was going to a friend's house for dinner and wouldn't be coming home. Now, wasn't she just waiting for Qi Luoli to bully her?

Yumiko sighed and said, "If I go tonight, I should be able to keep that girl Kirari in check, but I won't have time until tomorrow evening... Sonoko, you should be fine..."

Sonoko sighed and said, "That scheming Kirari went offline because she saw you, Yumiko-nee. She probably didn't want those of you who can control her to be unable to find her... Sigh..."

That's right, there are people who can control Kirari, such as the genius and eccentric Shinonono Tsukasa, or the gentle older sister type like Fuji Yumiko. That's about it; only these two types can control her. Oh, and there's also the aloof and assertive older sister type like Orimura Chifuyu...

So, if Kirari isn't kept in check, she can really make you cry... Of course, we're all friends, so losing is just a meal at most, but such humiliation is just too terrible.

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Don't worry, Qi Luoli is very quiet when she comes to my place. Besides, she came to see me today. As long as you don't argue with her, she shouldn't be interested in playing tricks on you."

Sonoko nodded. She had almost forgotten that, besides those people, Shiraha could also control Kirari, and with great success. Thinking of this, Sonoko became firm again.

"By the way, I'll see if I can invite Xiaolan over tonight too. Uncle Mori seems to have gone out on business today, and he'll probably be drunk when he gets back."

Bai Yu placed a piece of cold beef salad on Lucifer and Yumiko's plates and said gently, "You're very welcome to come, but I remember you had an appointment with that Miss Ran for one o'clock, right? Is it still possible to make it now?"

Sonoko was startled, then suddenly stood up, pulled out two tissues to wipe her mouth, and turned to run away, but was stopped by Baiyu. Baiyu said irritably, "There is a shortcut from here to there. You can go through the path on the right side of the park. Don't do strenuous exercise after eating."

Sonoko responded, then waved to Fuji Yumiko and the others before slowly disappearing from their sight. Shiraha smiled and shook his head, saying, "She doesn't seem like a high school student at all~"

Yumiko Fuji laughed and said, "I was like that in high school too~"

"Ah."

At this moment, Kirari licked her lips, tapped her fingers on the table, and said with a slight smile, "Want to beat me... you're far from it~"

Chapter Ninety: The Little Queen Who Was Jealous and Then Cried (Please Subscribe~)

After exercising, everyone had a good appetite, and even Yumiko ate a little more. Exercise is indeed the best natural remedy to stimulate appetite.

No matter who it is, after eating and drinking their fill, everyone feels a sense of satisfaction and laziness. Bai Yu didn't recycle the lunch boxes because they were biodegradable boxes provided by the shop itself. He had things to do in the afternoon, and he couldn't carry a bunch of boxes with him, so he just threw them away.

Bai Yu chuckled and patted Tezuka on the shoulder, saying, "Tezuka, you've got to do your best in this tournament, and Fuji too. I'll try to check on things when I have time. That brat Atobe is pretty strong, so keep an eye on him."

Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded and said, "Yes, there won't be any problems with this year's Metropolitan Tournament."

Bai Yu said with a smile, "As long as you can keep going, that's fine. Don't push yourselves too hard. When you win, come to the store and I'll celebrate with you."

Fuji Syusuke smiled and said gently, "That's really motivating. Sister, Tezuka and I will be leaving now. Are you having dinner at home tonight?"

Yumiko Fuji thought for a moment and said, "I probably won't have time to eat, so you don't need to worry about me. Just take care of yourself. Oh, and tonight, tell Yuuta that we're going to Shiraha's for dinner tomorrow."

Fuji Syusuke nodded, then said goodbye to Shiraha and the others along with Tezuka before leaving. Fuji Yumiko looked at Shiraha beside her and asked with a smile, "Where are you going?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "I remember... Lucifer and Cerberus seemed to want to go to the amusement park, right...?"

Cerberus nodded repeatedly. She had been very interested in the amusement park she saw in the magazine this morning. Although she didn't say it, the anticipation in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Lucifer was also very interested in the haunted house inside. When she saw the ghosts and monsters dressed up by the staff of the haunted house on the cover, she immediately threw it aside with disgust and said, "This can really scare people? Don't be ridiculous~"

Bai Yu just looked like he was listening but didn't believe her, since a haunted house isn't just a place where you go in, the staff greet you, and that's it.

After thinking for a moment, Fuji Yumiko said, "Okay, it's been so long since we went to an amusement park!"

"Eh?!" x2

Lucifer and Cerberus were both taken aback. Cerberus asked in confusion, "Has Yumiko ever been to an amusement park with Shiraha before?"

Yumiko Fuji laughed and said, "Of course, I was twenty years old at the time. I also have one of those water bottles that Shiraha bought that day. It was a commemorative edition, and only one pair was left. That day was the first time I'd ever seen Shiraha so disheveled~"

Lucifer, intrigued by Bai Yu's disheveled state, crossed his arms and said with amusement, "Huh? Bai Yu has ever been disheveled? What happened then?"

"Bai Yu was fighting with a group of couples for that water cup, but Bai Yu was too tall and it was very inconvenient for him to move around. He was just being pushed and shoved around. When he came out, he was completely exhausted."

Bai Yu said with a smile, "It was indeed a bit too difficult at the time, because I couldn't extend my arms at all, and people kept stepping on my feet. I couldn't push them away too hard or I might get hurt. It was too difficult."

Lucifer said in confusion, "Why are so many couples fighting over those two water glasses... Wait... you mean a pair of water glasses... no way..."

Yumiko Fuji covered her mouth and chuckled softly, saying, "Of course, they're couple's water bottles."

"Bah..."

Lucifer looked at Bai Yu in front of her and had only one thought in her mind: This jerk is too much! She didn't know why he was too much, but she just felt that he was too much!

"Lucifer..."

"Humph!"
