"Is that the BB Corn from Wul Jungle?"

Mansam immediately recognized the ingredient. Yuuki had just come from there, and he’d cut down every last stalk. Although he had replanted them, it would take some time for them to mature again.

"BB Corn? You mean the legendary ingredient from the Gourmet World? The one where a single kernel can pop enough popcorn to feed a hundred people?"

Hearing the name, Toriko’s eyes began to sparkle. The man loved to eat, and the presence of such a delicacy had his full attention.

"That’s the one," Yuuki confirmed. "But I’ll have to correct you on one point—it’s enough for much more than just a hundred people."

As he spoke, flames erupted from his hand, the heat beginning to envelop the BB Corn kernel.

"Is that Yuuki’s Appetite Demon ability? It’s perfect for a chef! He can just create fire on demand. If I remember correctly, BB Corn needs to be heated to over a thousand degrees, right?"

Toriko knew a little about BB Corn, though he’d never gone to capture it himself due to his insufficient strength in the past.

"That’s right. Over a thousand degrees, and the temperature has to be increased gradually, otherwise the preparation will fail."

As Yuuki spoke, the BB Corn on his palm began to dance like a tap dancer before shooting into the air. The next second, with a massive BANG, a colossal shower of golden popcorn rained down.

Yuuki’s hair shot out to catch a portion, setting it down in front of the group. The rest, he let fall. That was for the mother and pup Battle Wolves.

Seeing this, the two wolves knew his intention and instantly transformed into streaks of silver light, darting into the golden rain of popcorn.

"Oh? So they’ll eat it because it’s from the Gourmet World? This mother wolf barely ate anything after she was created. I thought something was wrong with her, but it turns out she’s just a picky eater!"

Mansam was exasperated. He never thought a Battle Wolf could be so choosy, refusing anything not from the Gourmet World. But look at them now—mother and pup were devouring the BB Popcorn with pure joy.

"So this is the legendary BB Popcorn... It really is more than enough for a hundred people. This amount could feed a thousand."

Toriko said, staring at the downpour of popcorn. Not everyone had an appetite as massive as his. For people without Gourmet Cells, even the biggest eaters had their limits. This amount of popcorn could easily feed a thousand of them.

"A pity BB Corn requires such nutrient-rich soil to grow. Normal land just can’t support it."

Mansam said, munching on a piece of popcorn. If a food like this could be used for the general populace, it would be incredible.

But the amount of nutrients it absorbed during growth was terrifying. It would drain ordinary soil in no time.

The entirety of Wul Jungle could only produce so much. It was because of this that BB Corn could never be mass-produced or find its way onto the public’s table.

"Oh, my Gourmet Cells are activating!"

After eating the BB Corn, Toriko felt his cells spring to life. Yuuki and Mansam, having eaten it before, had no reaction. As for Komatsu, his Gourmet Cells hadn’t awakened yet, so he felt nothing either.

"Chef Yuuki, may I add BB Corn to my Full Course Menu?"

Toriko was certain that this ingredient was perfectly suited for his Gourmet Cells, so he turned to Yuuki.

"You don’t need to ask me. While I may have captured this BB Corn, it doesn’t mean I own all of it."

Yuuki explained that BB Corn didn’t just grow in Wul Jungle; it also existed in the Gourmet World and the old Biotope 10. Toriko had no need to ask his permission.

"I see! Then it’s decided! I’m adding BB Corn to my Full Course Menu!"

After the Rainbow Fruit, Toriko had now claimed the second ingredient for his menu.

"Congratulations, Toriko-san!"

Komatsu cheered from the side. To witness Toriko collecting the items for his Full Course Menu was an honor for him.

"AWOOOO..."

Toriko’s decision also made the little Battle Wolf howl. The pup had already accepted him, so sensing its new master’s joy, it couldn’t help but cry out.

"Director! Director! I just got a message from my brother! He said he’s captured the Regal Mammoth and is on his way back! He’ll be here soon!"

Just as they were talking, a voice cut in. It was Rin, the one who always seemed to lose her head. She was usually reliable, but she had a bad case of love-sickness, and seeing Toriko made her completely lose focus, leading to a series of blunders.

"WHAT?? He captured the Regal Mammoth? And he’s on his way back?"

Hearing this, Mansam’s brain seemed to short-circuit. He looked as if he’d just heard the world’s most ridiculous joke.

"What’s wrong, Director? Is there a problem?"

Toriko looked at him with confusion. He had been invited back this time specifically for the Jewel Meat, which was said to be inside the Regal Mammoth. Why would Mansam have such a reaction to Sunny bringing the ingredient back?

"A fully grown adult is measured in ’kilometers’. Bringing one back is like trying to carry a mountain. Sunny is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, just like you. Is his brute strength really THAT great?" Yuuki briefly explained to everyone and then asked.

"NO WAY! My brother’s hair is strong, but there’s no way he could move something that massive! But... he wouldn’t lie!"

Rin immediately denied it. Sunny’s hair was numerous and incredibly powerful. In terms of pure strength, he was likely the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings. But even she didn’t believe he could move something that heavy.

"Then there’s another question. Is there a juvenile Regal Mammoth in Biotope 1?" Yuuki asked.

"There is... one was born not too long ago. So that idiot Sunny... he caught the baby??"

Mansam was utterly speechless. Capturing the Jewel Meat was already going to be difficult. Now Sunny had gone and kidnapped its child. It would be a miracle if the Regal Mammoth ’didn’t’ go on a rampage.

"My brother is so unreliable!"

Rin couldn’t help but slap her forehead. Her brother had always been vain, but now he had gone and caused such a massive screw-up.

"Well, when he gets back, we’ll just have to check the little mammoth for the Jewel Meat."

"Toriko, Chef Yuuki, let’s wait for Sunny. After he brings the little Regal Mammoth, you can set out. Before that, feel free to enjoy my Full Course Menu."

With that, Mansam had someone go and prepare his menu. Yuuki had zero interest in it. It was simple:

Mansam’s Full Course Menu was a pure alcoholic’s dream.

His Gourmet Cells were extreme alcoholics; liquor was more effective for him than any food. So his menu wasn’t high-level, but every single ingredient was related to alcohol.

"I didn’t expect Chef Yuuki to be a teetotaler. That’s a bit like the President."

Mansam remarked. President Ichiryu also didn’t drink much, mainly because he was a terrible lightweight. In Mansam’s view, that was missing out on one of life’s great pleasures.

"I think you could have a great chat about drinking with Master Jiro. He’s also someone who would die for a good drink."

Yuuki noted that the amount of alcohol Jiro drank every day was staggering. He felt that he and Mansam would have endless topics to discuss.

"Let’s not and say we did. Master Jiro is elusive, and I have to handle IGO matters. I don’t have that kind of time for swapping stories."

Mansam said with a helpless sigh. He was incredibly busy, having to manage many of the Human World’s affairs.

....

Later, Mansam had someone prepare other ingredients for Yuuki. After they had been eating for a while, Sunny finally returned.

"I can’t believe this thing is just a baby. But that Sunny is really showing off. Anyone who didn’t know better would think he actually has the strength to hold it with one hand!"

Toriko said with a scoff, gnawing on the leg of a Bacchus Dragon.

"My brother just loves to look cool. Toriko is so much better; you’d never do something so pretentious!"

Rin, truly her brother’s sister, didn’t pull any punches when it came to criticizing him. Only a sibling could get away with that.

"Long time no see, Toriko. Looks like you’ve been eating well lately... hm?"

Upon his return, Sunny tossed the little Regal Mammoth over, which Mansam caught with brute force. Sunny, meanwhile, began to use his hair to probe everyone’s condition.

He had mastered his Sense of Touch. By touching someone’s body, he could determine any changes.

This action earned him glares of disapproval from Rin and Toriko, but Sunny soon discovered that his feelers were useless against Yuuki and the Battle Wolves.

The two wolves immediately dodged his hair the moment they sensed it. As for Yuuki, he simply created a barrier of calories that kept Sunny’s hair from touching him.

He had no desire to be touched by Sunny’s feelers. The result was that Sunny found his ability completely ineffective.

"Sunny, don’t go touching people with your hair. Especially not in front of Chef Yuuki. He has an ability similar to yours, and it’s much stronger."

Seeing this, Mansam immediately warned him. Yuuki was a Super Chef, and his strength was at a level where he could enter the Gourmet World. He wasn’t someone Sunny could afford to fight.

Hearing this, Sunny immediately retracted his hair. He knew Mansam’s personality. For him to speak so seriously meant that Yuuki was not weak. He wouldn’t be reckless.

But what left both him and Rin completely shocked was that Yuuki had an ability similar to his.

"Brother, you didn’t deliberately dye your hair like that, did you??"

Looking at Yuuki’s black hair, then at her brother’s multi-colored mess, Rin suddenly felt that her brother was incredibly lame.

"NO WAY! My hair has a very important purpose!"

Sunny immediately denied it. It wasn’t a joke; he didn’t control the color. His hair—blue represented cold points, pink for warm points, green for pressure points, and white for pain points.

Though Yuuki’s hair could also sense everything, it wasn’t a rainbow of colors. That was the big difference between them.

"Alright, you can all stop talking. I need to take the little Regal Mammoth for testing first. You should all hurry up and capture the Jewel Meat. Those guys from the IGO are probably about to get their hands on it."

Mansam reminded them. He was about to leave when he suddenly looked at Yuuki again.

"Chef Yuuki, I’ll leave these kids in your care!"

Mansam said. Yuuki’s current strength made him absolutely invincible in Biotope 1. Even the IGO’s GT Robos couldn’t touch him.

So, for the safety of Toriko and Sunny, Mansam had to ask for Yuuki’s help.

"No problem. I’m also interested in the Jewel Meat, after all."

Yuuki agreed. He was actually more curious about which member of the Gourmet Corp. would show up this time. In the original story, it was several GT Robos.

The strongest among them was Starjun’s.

But he had already destroyed that one. He wondered if Starjun would still come. If he did, would he come in his real body, or would he use a different GT Robo?

"HEY, HEY! Director, you don’t have to look down on us like that!"

Hearing Mansam’s words, Sunny understood. He was implying that they couldn’t handle this matter on their own, which was why he was asking Yuuki to look after them.

He didn’t doubt Yuuki’s strength; he just doubted Mansam’s judgment. He was strong too, okay?

"This time, you’re not just facing a Regal Mammoth. You’re also facing those maniacs from the Gourmet World. Their robots aren’t so easy to deal with. In any case, just be careful."

Mansam shook his head and left with the little Regal Mammoth. Though he could carry it, there was no need to keep holding it up.

He had to get the testing done as soon as possible and return the baby. Otherwise, if the adult Regal Mammoth went berserk, its destructive power would be immense.

Its sheer size was proof of that.
