CHAPTER 178: CHAPTER 177: DRINK COURSE

Chapter 177: Drink Course

With Jiro present, the Battle Wolf King Guinness couldn’t be bothered with Toriko and the others. Instead, it stared at the Battle Wolf Lotta. The strength of this fellow clansman was already extremely close to its own, but it didn’t seem to be from the main Battle Wolf pack.

Lotta looked back at Guinness, uninterested in the title of "Wolf King."

Kenji flew into space. He felt a pull from the depths of his being; something in the cosmos was attracting him. In the world of Toriko, the Capture Level of ingredients in space started at a minimum of 10,000. Even the Blue Nitro had to rely on a spaceship to travel in space, which was enough to show that not just anyone could survive in a vacuum.

"A comet..."

Kenji narrowed his eyes. He saw a verdant green comet drawing a brilliant trail across the starry sky.

Poof, poof, poof—

The small asteroids in its path were instantly smashed to dust, yet the comet’s trajectory was not affected in the slightest.

Is this it? An ingredient!

In this world, everything visible to the naked eye was an ingredient. Whether you could eat it or not depended on your own ability.

Kenji got a good look at the comet’s appearance. It had a diameter of about 10 kilometers and was translucent, trailing a long, green tail flame, and glowing like honey. The comet, enveloped in a radiant flame, had a bumpy, golden-green meteorite shell covered in honeycomb-like holes, from which a liquid honeydew emerged, emitting the sweet fragrance of honeydew melon. Besides the flame, the comet was also surrounded by a spiral belt of aurora shaved ice, as if a nebula had been frozen.

"Dragon King’s Searching Claw!"

Kenji made a grasping motion from afar. The starry sky began to move; the universe itself seemed to come alive. A giant, stellar dragon claw composed of the cosmos materialized. Even a planet would be a mere plaything in its palm.

CRACK—

The comet slammed into the dragon’s claw. The resulting impact made the surrounding stars tremble, but ultimately, it could not break through. It was as if it had been caught in solidified stellar amber. Its speed gradually decreased until it came to a complete stop.

Kenji flew over and directly inspected the ingredient’s data.

Honeydew Shaved Ice Comet.

Capture Level: 31,450;

Diameter: 10 kilometers;

Weight: 300 billion tons;

Kenji was a little shocked by the Capture Level. So this is an ingredient from space?

The Honeydew Shaved Ice Comet was an extremely rare ingredient, even in the cosmos. It was originally a high-speed ice crystal comet that, after colliding with a honeydew nebula, underwent a series of reactions to form this dish. Its core was an incredibly sweet honeydew shaved ice, and its outer layer was a high-density, honeydew-scented powdered sugar meteorite shell. The probability of an ice crystal comet colliding with a honeydew nebula was extremely low, which reflected the rarity of this ingredient. It was an event that might only occur once in tens of thousands of years. As it flew through space, it was irradiated by the gourmet energy of the cosmos, which elevated its flavor to a higher level.

Crackle—

Kenji dug out a piece of the surface meteorite shell and placed it in his mouth. It melted instantly. The purity of the honeydew flavor was extremely high. After it melted, a bubbly sensation exploded in his mouth, as if his tongue had been swept by a shooting star.

Using his spatial power, he extracted the honeydew shaved ice from the core. A zero-degree sweetness flowed in his mouth. The low temperature of the shaved ice gave the honeydew’s sweetness a more three-dimensional feel, and an image of a honeydew ice crystal palace appeared in his mind. Each ice crystal seemed to be a condensed drop of honeydew juice, erupting in his mouth with a pure, fruity fragrance like a planetary explosion.

"Delicious..." Kenji couldn’t help but sigh. As he breathed, a golden-green icy mist exhaled from his nostrils, and the sweet honeydew taste lingered in his mouth.

In terms of deliciousness, Kenji felt it was even better than the dessert, EARTH. The flavor wasn’t complex; it was a simple honeydew flavor, but it had been expressed to the absolute extreme.

Shaved ice belonged in the beverage category. A gift from the depths of space, a guidance of Food Luck.

"They call me comet, or they call me dragon..."

It’s decided. It’s you, Honeydew Shaved Ice Comet.

Drink: Honeydew Shaved Ice Comet.

The drink course of his Full Course Menu was now decided. An ingredient with a level of over 30,000, an ingredient that his Food Luck had guided him to obtain, had given him an all-around evolution.

Of the eight dishes in his Full Course, half had now been confirmed. The other half (four dishes) could be found in space.

[Star Forger]: "Kids, I’m here. The drink is decided. I invite you all to eat some melon."

[Translator’s Note: "Eating melon" is internet slang for enjoying gossip or drama.]

[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe ♪?"

[Star Forger]: "Ellie, would I give you an unripe one?"

[Gudako]: "Oh? Whose drama are we gossiping about today? I haven’t had Daigo’s drama in a while. I could go for some."

[Crash-Test Pilot]: "What do you mean ’my drama’? What drama do I have?"

[Star Forger]: "Although this melon isn’t that kind of melon, Daigo still has plenty of drama."

[Star Forger]: "The most classic one is the ’horn-breaking maniac’, the most unpopular foreign Ultraman in the Land of Light."

[Crash-Test Pilot]: "Huh? What does breaking horns have to do with being unpopular in the Land of Light?"

[Lifts-Bemstar-With-One-Hand]: "I’m a bit confused as well."

[Star Forger]: "Hikari, don’t the Father of Ultra and the sixth Ultra brother have big horns on their heads?"

[Lifts-Bemstar-With-One-Hand]: "They do indeed. Hiss... you mean... I see."

When he first heard "the sixth Ultra brother," Hikari didn’t immediately know who he meant, but he quickly thought of the sixth brother of the Ultra Brothers. Father of Ultra and Taro... they did indeed have a very exaggerated pair of big horns. Although it was just a joke, Tiga’s "horn-breaking maniac" attribute really wouldn’t be welcomed in the Land of Light.

The original Tiga’s inner thought: Breaking horns... that’s Daigo’s attribute. It has nothing to do with me.

[Crash-Test Pilot]: "I only break the horns of monsters! I wouldn’t break an Ultraman’s horn!"

Daigo felt that his reputation was being damaged.

[Monkey D. Kizaru]: "You like breaking horns, Daigo-san? I know a pirate with very big horns. Are you interested?"

That’s right, I’m talking about you, Kaido. Kaido’s horns were ridiculously hard. After so many battles, that pair of oni horns was still perfectly intact. Jack the Drought’s nine-hundred-million-Beli ivory tusks should also count as horns, right?

[Crash-Test Pilot]: "Not interested."

He makes it sound like I love breaking horns. It’s just to weaken the monster.

Kenji shared the Honeydew Shaved Ice with the group members.

[Martial Arts Maniac Fox]: "Delicious. I’ve never tasted such a delicious honeydew flavor."

The humanoid combat machine, Section Chief Hoshimi Miyabi, was completely captured. The training of clearing the field of Ethereals in one slash was over. Now came the training of eating honeydew shaved ice.

Ethereal’s inner thought: I encountered a Hollow Hunter. I fought with all my might but could not win.

[The Champion]: "It’s super delicious! I love this!"

It was summer, and one bite of this was more refreshing than turning on the air conditioner. Her Pokémon also loved this ingredient.

[Lady Justice]: "If this were made into a small cake, the taste should be very good."

[Shadowkhan Queen]: "This is the life! Shadow Clone goes to school, real body stays home and eats shaved ice."

Uncle wouldn’t enter her room, so after seeing the Shadow Clone go to school, he wouldn’t come to check on her. This was enjoyment. In such hot weather, the classroom didn’t even have air conditioning. The fan on the ceiling just blew hot air. It was a sauna.
