Dimensional Hotel

Little Red Riding Hood knew that anyone living in an Otherworldly city had to be strange, but she never imagined she’d underestimated just how peculiar Yu Sheng’s “family of three” could be. Especially when it came to dinner.

There was a Doll that didn’t need to eat at all, yet sat perfectly upright at the dining table with a set of chopsticks and a bowl placed in front of it, like some sort of ritual offering.

Then there was Foxy, a fox with several tails, who kept pulling random snacks out of her tails while eating—all sorts of bizarre combinations, like flatbread wrapped around a steamed bun or chilies paired with bananas. She seemed to eat whatever she found without any rhyme or reason.

But the strangest of all was Yu Sheng. He actually ate human food. It was unbelievable.

Yu Sheng noticed Little Red Riding Hood staring off into space. He assumed she was just shy about being a guest for the first time and warmly said, “Go ahead, help yourself. I have to say, I’m pretty confident in my cooking skills.”

He paused mid-sentence as if remembering something, then pointed to a dish on the table. “Oh, by the way, you probably shouldn’t eat that one.”

Little Red Riding Hood blinked, looking at the seemingly ordinary dish of stir-fried peppers and pork. “Why not?”

“That one’s made with a ‘special ingredient’ from the Otherworld. I’m not sure if regular humans can eat it,” Yu Sheng replied casually. “Foxy and Irene, they both avoid it.”

Little Red Riding Hood’s eyes widened slightly. “Special… ingredient from the Otherworld?”
