Toriko: Gourmet Chat Group
Chapter 184 183: The Gourmet World Banquet
A grand banquet began. The location was the Origin Continent of the Gourmet World, a celebration for the successful capture of GOD. The main ingredients used were from Acacia's Full Course Menu.
Brunch and the others from the Yōshoku Realm, members of the IGO and the Gourmet Corp., the Eight Kings and their packs... it was a grand medley of all the powers on Earth. If not for the fact that ordinary people couldn't come here, the scene would have been even more lively.
Ichiryu was smiling happily. He loved this kind of scene, with everyone sitting together, talking and laughing, joyfully enjoying their food. This was his lifelong pursuit.
"Hundreds of years have passed. I never thought we'd have a day where we all eat together again," Setsuno said with a nostalgic smile. It wasn't about eating GOD; at this point, even a bowl of white rice would have tasted delicious to them. Having eaten so many delicacies, even the most flavorful ingredients could no longer move them as much.
"That's right, Setsu-chan. Shall we go for a walk in space later?" Jiro asked. For powerhouses like them, there were not many places left to explore on Earth.
"Alright. You're the Gourmet Hunter, and I'm a chef. We're partners, so of course, we'll go together," Setsuno nodded. Although they were retired, they still needed a little novelty now and then. Both of them were in their young forms, the perfect age for striving and adventuring.
"The age of great cosmic navigation is about to begin," Ichiryu said with a smile. However, only a few people had this ability. The number of Gourmet Hunters who could enter space was small. Even in the Gourmet World, not many people could adapt to its environment.
"Komatsu, come to space with me. My Full Course Menu isn't complete yet," Toriko invited.
"That sounds dangerous," Komatsu said, scratching his head. "But, Mr. Toriko, if you're there, then I'll trust you."
Kenji teased, "Komatsu, that sounds a bit like a confession. Toriko is about to get married, you know."
Komatsu broke into a sweat and said, speechless, "Mr. Kenji, that's not funny."
"That's right, Kenji. Spreading rumors is wrong," Toriko said, his face covered in black lines. His relationship with Komatsu was one of brotherhood and partnership, not romance.
Kenji thought of the end of the manga, where Toriko, after marrying Rin, took his "little wife" Komatsu to space, while Rin seemed to have stayed on Earth. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Komatsu really is the true love.
"Toriko likes men? Then stay away from my sister," Sunny said with a very exaggerated expression, joking around.
"You bastard, Sunny! Let's have a duel of real men!" Toriko felt his anger rise, cracking his knuckles.
"Toriko, is that how you talk to your big brother?" Sunny said with a crooked smile. Even if your parents were the Gourmet God Acacia and the Chef God Froese, you still have to call me brother. You're my brother-in-law. It's that simple.
"..."
His fists were clenched. Toriko squeezed his hands tightly. Seeing Sunny's incredibly arrogant expression, he really wanted to go up and give him a good couple of punches.
"Alright. In that case, I'll have a good chat with Rin for you," Toriko said slyly, having thought of something. Although Rin was Sunny's sister, the siblings were constantly bickering. If Rin knew Sunny was teasing him, she would probably grab her Perfume Launcher and go have a "loving" chat with her brother.
"Aren't you ashamed to have Rin fight your battles for you?"
Sunny had no doubt that his "rebellious" little sister would side with her husband. She definitely wouldn't speak up for him.
"This is so peaceful. Only GOD has this kind of influence," Coco remarked. The last time GOD had appeared, it had also affected the entire planet.
"Now that GOD has appeared this time, we can also regenerate it. We don't have to wait hundreds of years," Teppei said, eating a slice of GOD pizza. He and the other Saiseiyas were going to be busy. When Acacia discovered GOD back then, the profession of a Saiseiya had not yet risen to what it was today. Even the dessert, EARTH, had been regenerated by Yosaku. After research by the Saiseiyas, Acacia's Full Course no longer required waiting for many years.
"Jiro, your grandson didn't choose to be a Gourmet Hunter like you," Froese said with interest. To have inherited Jiro's bloodline, yet choose to be a Saiseiya... it was quite rare.
"Let him be. He's been a Saiseiya for so many years, it's become his profession. Having Kenji as my disciple is enough for me," Jiro said with a casual wave of his hand. He knew Teppei had chosen to be a Saiseiya because of him, and he was ranked among the top in that field.
"Teppei, find some time later. I'll give you some guidance," Jiro called out.
"Huh? Me? Fight you, Grandpa?" Teppei pointed to himself, a baffled look on his face. Me, fight Jiro? Although he had now eaten Acacia's Full Course, Jiro had eaten it too.
"That's right," Jiro nodded.
"Pfft. I'll be ready to treat you afterward," Pukin said with a teasing laugh. A grandfather beating his grandson... Teppei could only endure it.
Teppei took a deep breath. There was no escape. But, Grandpa, I'm not the same person I was before.
Jiro's inner thought: So you're saying you're very brave?
"Help..."
With all the Eight Kings gathered here, Zongeh had the bad luck of arriving and being spotted by Bambina, who greeted him with an enthusiastic hug. The highlight reel of hell replayed in Zongeh's mind.
Kenji's eye twitched. Zongeh's Food Luck was indeed good, but his Food Luck had also led him straight to Bambina.
Does reincarnation exist in this world? If it does, maybe Zongeh's previous life really was the Ape Queen.
"That person..." Froese's eyes widened as she looked at Zongeh, a rare expression of shock on her face.
"Froese, what is it?" Midora asked.
"It's nothing. I just saw a person... he has an even more exaggerated Food Luck than I do," Froese said, feeling she was inferior. Only someone like her who could use Food Luck could know just how unbelievably powerful Zongeh's was.
Midora turned to look at Zongeh and was stunned. What's with this guy? He clearly had no powerful aura, yet he could withstand the Ape King's embrace. Was he a master hiding his power, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?
"To be able to travel the Gourmet World just by relying on Food Luck... this person is not simple," Don Slime nodded. To be acknowledged by it... Zongeh could also be called a god.
"Lady Froese, I'd like to ask you for some guidance on something," Kenji said, walking over at that moment, his tone serious.
"If I know it, I can tell you," Froese said with a gentle smile. Kenji was her grand-disciple, also a member of the family.
"The method of using Food Luck," Kenji said directly.
Most people couldn't actively use Food Luck; they basically relied on its passive ability to seek fortune and avoid disaster. But Froese could actively use the power of Food Luck to make enemy attacks avoid her directly. On the entire planet, the only person who could use Food Luck so flexibly was Froese.
"The method of using Food Luck... I can. Find some time, and I'll teach you how to use it," Froese said, sizing up Kenji. His Food Luck wasn't outwardly apparent like Zongeh's but was extremely restrained. Even she wouldn't have been able to see it if she hadn't looked carefully.
Kenji's Food Luck was extremely vast, almost like a galaxy, a universe...
