Chapter 207: The Wedding Gift for Toriko
Under One Person World, Dragon Tiger Mountain.
So, you’re the damn acting leader of Quánxìng, huh?
The Celestial Master, upon seeing Gong Qing, ended him with a single slap. He already knew what he was planning to do. He couldn’t be bothered to waste words on him. He wasn’t worthy of listening.
Gong Qing: You have no martial virtue! If you have the guts, fight me 1v1!
"Senior Brother, this..."
Tian Jintong looked at his Senior Brother with a confused expression. Why had he killed the young disciple without saying a word?
"He was from Quánxìng. He wanted to get inside your head to find out what happened when you descended the mountain back then," the Celestial Master said flatly.
Hearing this, Tian Jintong was stunned. Then his eyes widened in rage. He glared at the lifeless Gong Qing on the ground and said with hatred, "You can know a person’s face, but not their heart. To hide his wolfish ambitions for so many years... he hid it so well."
Thinking about it, he felt a lingering fear. It didn’t matter if he died, but the things in his head could not be known by others.
"It’s alright now. Junior Brother, you should rest well."
The golden light of a max-level Golden Light Curse formed into a rope, tying up Gong Qing’s corpse. The Celestial Master dragged it away, not wanting to leave the body here to disturb his junior brother.
This Senior Brother of mine... he’s as domineering as ever.
"To be honest, I’m really not used to wearing a suit," Kenji complained as Atashino adjusted the details of his outfit.
When capturing ingredients in the wild, this type of clothing was not convenient. It was restrictive. It was fine for light exercise, but not suitable for a Gourmet Hunter. Most Gourmet Hunters wore either tight-fitting clothes like Coco, or shorts and T-shirts—all kinds of clothes that were easy to move in.
"For an event like a wedding, the attire naturally has to be a bit more formal," Atashino said with a smile. She also wasn’t wearing her usual nurse’s uniform, but had changed into a light pink dress, a refreshing sight that made her look less bulky.
"Saber Alter, are you planning to go out this time?"
"At a wedding, there should be a lot of good food. Of course, I’m going," Saber Alter said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Does your butt not hurt anymore?"
Kenji’s eyes aimed at Saber Alter’s rear. She instantly covered her behind, two red clouds appearing on her pretty face. She looked at Kenji with a wary and disgusted expression, as if looking at a pervert.
What kind of decent person hits someone there when they fight?
Although with her constitution, she had healed long ago, being reminded of it by Kenji still brought a phantom pain.
"Looks like you’re fine. Let’s go then."
The wedding venue was the 10-star hotel—the Gourmet Hotel.
When Komatsu and Toriko had first met, the Gourmet Hotel was only 5-star. As Komatsu’s chef ranking rose, the hotel’s star rating had also risen with him.
"Toriko, this is my gift to you. Star Ring Tuna."
Starjun took out a giant piece of fish meat. The cut surface showed a gradient of colors, and the fibers seemed to be embedded with fine, glowing crystals. After coming into contact with the air, it formed a spiral star ring light pattern. A nebula-like fragrant mist... just taking a sniff made one feel light-headed, a feeling of weightlessness, as if flying to heaven.
The reason he had only brought one piece was because the whole thing was too big. It would have burst the Gourmet Hotel; it couldn’t have fit. He had chased this tuna in space for a long time. Its swimming speed was too astonishing; he had almost lost it.
"It looks so delicious!" Toriko said, wiping his drool.
"Paired with Mars Soy Sauce, the taste will be even better. I brought some back with me on the way," Starjun said, taking out a large bottle of pitch-black soy sauce that looked just like crude oil. This was a delicious soy sauce fermented in a soy sauce lake on Mars, an extremely savory condiment. Besides being a Gourmet Hunter, he was also a chef.
"Sun Jewel Meat. Toriko, is this enough for a wedding gift?"
When Kenji took out the giant, golden Jewel Meat, everyone in the banquet hall couldn’t help but close their eyes. The light was simply too blinding, as if the sunlight had passed through no ozone layer and was shining directly into their eyes.
"That’s so bright! It’s even more exaggerated than the Jewel Meat," Toriko laughed. That being said, he was quite satisfied. What an astonishingly impressive wedding gift. He had already received Kenji’s blessings.
Coco and the others all took out the ingredients they had captured in space.
Nebula Cotton Candy: Cotton candy formed by the condensation of cosmic gas and sugar in a vacuum. After entering the mouth, the sweet taste would continuously expand and could last for a very long time.
Pulsar Chocolate: A special chocolate planet shrouded in a pulsar field. Even after leaving the field, it could maintain a certain vibration frequency. It needed to have special radioactive substances removed. For a short time after eating it, it was so delicious that one’s whole body would resonate with it.
Mountain Delicacy Curry from the Curry Star: In a planet made of curry, a fusion curry that brought together the flavors of countless mountain delicacies. After eating it, a curry flavor explosion would occur in one’s mouth.
Toriko looked at them one by one, his drool almost uncontrollable. If not for restraining himself for the wedding, a waterfall of drool would have formed. As expected of ingredients from space; each one was so delicious. After the wedding, he definitely had to take Komatsu on an adventure in space.
Rin: And what about me?
"Komatsu, I’ll leave these ingredients to you guys," Toriko said with a smile. Although he could have just taken the gifts back home, with his personality, he still wanted to share them with all the guests. That way, it would be even more delicious.
"Mr. Toriko, please leave it to us!" Komatsu and the other chefs nodded seriously. This was Mr. Toriko’s wedding; there was no room for carelessness.
"So many people were invited." Kenji and the others sat at the family and friends’ table. The entire hall was filled with people. Toriko had basically invited everyone he could. His friends from the Yōshoku Realm, his friends from Blue Grill... they all gave him face and had traveled a long way from the Gourmet World to be here.
"If Toriko weren’t interested in being the IGO President, the President wouldn’t be Chief Mansam, but Toriko," Atashino laughed.
"If Toriko had the idea, I wouldn’t mind this position," Mansam said casually. At some point, he had stopped being bald and now had a good amount of hair. He had lost some of his former rough feeling. Perhaps it was because he had become President, and being bald looked too fierce.
"President Mansam, are you tired?" Kenji asked with a smile.
"Are you saying I’m too handsome?" Mansam looked at Kenji with surprise.
Kenji’s eye twitched. "I didn’t say that," he said, speechless.
The familiar routine. Just how deep is your obsession with whether you’re handsome or not?
"My sister is getting married. That guy Toriko will definitely run off to space after the wedding, leaving my sister alone here on Earth," Sunny said, feeling a bit indignant for Rin. Bickering was a daily routine, but his concern was genuine. He knew Toriko all too well; he would never miss out on the ingredients in space. Rin’s strength wasn’t enough, and her Food Luck wasn’t strong. It would be too dangerous for her to go to space, so she would have to stay on Earth.
Sunny looked at his sister in her wedding dress, a happy smile on her face, and he smiled helplessly. His sister’s happiness was what was most important.
Kenji’s inner thought: Haki-nii, you...
