Chapter 156: Komatsu’s Heart Problem
Gourmet World, Eighth Area.
The Horse King, who had been resting there, suddenly raised its head, its giant lantern-like eyes looking up at the sky.
A massive mountain was flying past. It wasn’t the first time it had seen this, but this time there was a small black dot on top of it.
The Horse King Heracles was completely baffled. What the heck is that problem child, the Ape King, up to now?
As fellow Eight Kings, they were naturally familiar with each other’s auras.
Oh, well. He’s probably just having one of his fits.
The Horse King closed its eyes again. There was no need to fight the Ape King. The key point was, it probably couldn’t win anyway.
Ichiryu and Jiro, who had just entered the Gourmet World, also noticed the Ape King and looked at each other.
"Is that the Ape King Bambina?" Ichiryu scratched his head. He had never heard of the Ape King sleeping .
"It’s a special kind of Knocking. It must be Kenji-kun’s doing," Jiro said with a laugh and a shake of his head. Normal Knocking just made a creature unable to control its body, but its consciousness could still perceive things. The Knocking used on Bambina, however, had put its mind into a state of hibernation. Jiro naturally knew this technique too, but he rarely used it. He wasn’t that mischievous. But seeing it now, it was quite interesting.
"Hehe, in any case, with this level of strength, he can look after Toriko and the others," Ichiryu said with relief. They had no interest in Acacia’s Full Course Menu themselves but had no choice but to collect it. Now, they could go after Joie and the others with their minds at ease.
A Bibi Dumpling Bug fell to the ground. Melk the Second bit her lip. Ape Dance really wasn’t that easy to learn.
To unify all sixty trillion cells in one’s body... how could it be that easy?
A creature that was a train with a shark’s head appeared, and Toriko and the others poked their heads out of the windows.
Kenji recognized this creature. It was a Shark Train, a type of Camping Monster with a Capture Level of 605.
Seeing the white-robed Nitro in the window, Kenji chuckled. It was the afro-headed Blue Nitro, Atom, disguised as Kaka. The ammunition for his Pincer Attack Formation had just delivered itself to his door. He wondered how many Life Orbs it had brought with it, and how many times it could explode.
Just you wait until you reveal yourself. You didn’t expect this, did you? The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I am the oriole. I have anticipated your anticipation.
"Komatsu, your heart is a bit overloaded right now," Atashino said, a silver light flashing in her eyes as she observed Komatsu’s condition.
Komatsu wasn’t the first to panic; Toriko was. Sunny and the others were also filled with worry.
"Komatsu now has a Gourmet Cell Demon in his body, and the activation of the demon is putting a strain on his body."
"We’re all Gourmet Hunters. We’ve eaten a lot of food and have been through many battles and trials. Our constantly strengthening bodies can withstand it, but Komatsu’s body is not as strong as ours," Kenji explained.
Komatsu was never a Gourmet Hunter to begin with; he was a pure chef. His own combat strength was about the same as an ordinary person’s.
Komatsu was taken aback. I have a Gourmet Cell Demon inside me?
"Is there a solution?" Toriko asked quickly. They had no idea what to do.
"Just let his heart cycle between being destroyed and regenerating, and use an ingredient from Acacia’s Full Course Menu to supplement the nutrients," Kenji said, describing Teppei’s method.
"***, am I going to die?"
Komatsu’s scalp tingled. The heart was an incredibly important organ. To have it bounce between collapse and reconstruction... most people would be terrified.
"Isn’t that too extreme?" Toriko was also uneasy.
"Kenji, that method of yours would require the power of a Saiseiya, wouldn’t it?" Coco asked.
Kenji nodded, then returned to the Human World, found Teppei via Grandmaster Setsuno, and brought him to the Gourmet World. He could have used his creation power to mold a stronger heart, but what if it was too strong and didn’t match the body?
"My, my. Komatsu’s heart problem is indeed because of his Gourmet Cell Demon," Teppei said after observing him, coming to the same conclusion. "I can indeed do it, but you’ll also have to get PAIR. Compared to the salad, AIR, PAIR is much more suitable."
"Komatsu, for your life, the few of us will definitely be able to do it, even if it means fighting the Ape King," Toriko said, patting his chest in assurance.
Komatsu nodded solemnly. If Toriko and the others could face an Eight King, how could he be a coward?
"Before you approach the Ape King, you should learn Ape Dance."
"Kaka" walked over. Besides Kenji, no one knew this was a Blue Nitro in disguise.
Kenji couldn’t be bothered to expose him. He would just let this imposter teach Toriko and the others Ape Dance. Afterward, he would just be used for his "residual heat." The Blue Nitro were very strong. If he were to sacrifice one, an arrow from his Pincer Attack Formation should be able to destroy a star. And with the Life Orbs, it would be a sustainable practice.
[Star Forger]: Anyone want to eat PAIR?
PAIR had a gender-bending effect. If used for a prank, it would be a lot of fun. A female would turn into a male, and their chest would become flat. But for someone like Furina, how much flatter could she get? There probably wouldn’t be any change.
[Miss Pink Elf♪]: I’ll pass ♪.
Elysia had learned about PAIR’s effect from Kenji. Turning into a man... she’d rather not. However, she didn’t tell anyone else. After all, she also enjoyed watching the fun now.
[The Champion]: Kenji, I want to go to the Ice Cream Mountain to eat ice cream.
After eating the food from Kenji’s world, the food in her own world had started to taste a bit bland.
[Star Forger]: I remember the last time we went to the Ice Cream Mountain, your indecisiveness flared up, Cynthia. You took a whole day to choose.
Kenji’s mouth twitched. If you don’t know what to choose, just take a bite of each!
[The Champion]: Ahem, there were too many varieties. It was hard to decide.
[Gudako]: What’s so hard to choose? An adult, of course, takes everything.
[Star Forger]: I’m in the Gourmet World at the moment. If you want to go, Cynthia, I can find someone to accompany you.
[Lady Justice]: I can go with Cynthia.
A good work-life balance. After eating and drinking her fill, she would continue building the wall. She was free now anyway. Fontaine had Neuvillette and Focalors; they didn’t need her help at all.
Neuvillette’s inner thought: Have you ever helped me with my official duties in these past five hundred years?
[God’s Tongue]: I don’t have anything going on recently either.
[Miss Pink Elf♪]: How could I be left out ♪?
[Galactic Baseballer]: Gasp! The lesbian Ellie is going to make a move on the poor, innocent group members again!
[The Champion]: I’m not in a hurry for now. I’ll wait until you have time, Kenji.
Cynthia thought of the time Elysia had taken advantage of her. Only Kenji could control her.
[Stank]: Kenji, my friend! The first Anti-Kenji Magic Armor is complete! Want to give it a try?
[Star Forger]: Can it withstand a star exploding? Or can it withstand the crushing force of a celestial black hole?
This guy... what’s he doing making such a strange armor for? It’s not like I’m a threat to you.
[Stank]: Uh... don’t you have any normal skills?
The skills you’ve invested in are a bit overpowered, aren’t they?
[Star Forger]: Crow Flies on an Airplane?
With his current strength, he could probably change the name a bit. Golden Crow Shatters Stars?
[Star Forger]: Are you that free? Does the Avengers not have anything for you to do?
[Stank]: I quit a long time ago. I was a bit curious at first, but it was just so-so. I’d rather do my own research at home.
The fusion of magic and technology... he was having a great time.
[Crash-Test Pilot]: You don’t have an Anti-Ultraman armor, do you?
Tony scratched his head. An Ultraman was too big. It was just a plan for now. Anti-Kamen Rider armor, anti-Devil Fruit armor...
