Toriko: Gourmet Chat Group

"Uncle Midora, would you like something to drink?"

Kenji looked at Midora's hair. It was so thick and luscious; many people would be envious. He had probably never cut it in his life.

"No need. I'm here to ask about something," Midora's tone was relatively mild. After all, Kenji had given him some very important news.

Himeko and the others looked at Midora, their bodies tense. It was an instinctive sense of danger. Their intuition told them that if Midora wanted to, he could kill all of them in less than a second.

"Uncle Midora, what do you want to ask?" Kenji had already guessed it was related to Joie. However, he didn't know where NEO's new base was either. Joie certainly knew Midora was looking for him and wouldn't show his face easily. He was most likely hiding in some corner of the Gourmet World.

Kenji, on the other hand, quite hoped to meet Joie and get a few Life Orbs from him. That way, when he fired "ammunition" with his Pincer Attack Formation in the future, it could be a sustainable practice. He was so benevolent, even giving his "ammunition" a chance to be revived.

"Can Froese be seen in the Soul World?"

Surprisingly, Midora didn't ask about Joie. After all, he could guess that when GOD matured, Joie would definitely appear, unless he no longer wanted GOD. Rather than waste time searching, he would just guard GOD and wait for Joie to come to him.

"I'm not very familiar with the Soul World," Kenji said. "If you want to know, Uncle Midora, you could go find Uncle Ichiryu. His Gourmet Demon, Don Slime, would be very familiar with the environment there."

"I see." Midora nodded, and his figure silently vanished.

A smirk played on Kenji's lips. Uncle Ichiryu, your family has come to find you for dinner. Ichiryu didn't care about the deliciousness of the food; what he wanted more was to eat with his family. Even if it was just a simple bowl of noodle soup, Ichiryu would eat it with great relish.

"Kenji, that uncle of yours... he feels very dangerous," Himeko said. Makoto and the others all nodded in agreement. They felt it too.

"If he wanted to, everyone here except me would be eaten in an instant," Kenji said with a straight face. "And I mean literally, physically eaten." Midora's Hungry Space could consume anything. It was filled with a voracious appetite that could devour energy, air, and anything else without a problem.

Ichiryu and his brothers could all destroy stars. In Himeko's world, only the Herrscher of the End could do that. The upper limits of ordinary Herrschers were restricted by the Cocoon. Someone like Wendy, for example, could probably just destroy a parking lot with a tornado.

"Are you all in a hurry to go back?" Kenji asked. Sending Makoto and the Kitsune Saiguu back was easy; he could do it through the chat group. But for Himeko, he would have to find a way through her.

"Not in a hurry. Is there any alcohol in this world?" Himeko licked her lips. This new body had no ailments or pains, but drinking had become a habit. Before the Final Lesson, she had said she wanted one last drink. She had to make up for it now.

"Alcohol? I'll take you to the Bacchus Islands later," Kenji said.

Makoto and Saiguu weren't in a hurry either. After all, going back meant retirement. They might as well have a vacation here. Isn't it a basic operation for first-generation gods to want to retire?

Cloud's End Pavilion.

"This place is truly worthy of being a 10-star restaurant."

Kenji savored the food with a look of pure enjoyment. The glittering Shining Rice twinkled like a galaxy. To eat it, one had to stare at it without blinking. For Kenji, this was no difficulty at all. The Million Tomato had to be picked up very carefully and gently, otherwise it would be crushed instantly.

For someone who had mastered Food Honor, the ingredients at this restaurant were like a home-cooked meal. But for those who hadn't, there were very few dishes they could successfully eat.

"This is my second time eating here," Atashino said with a smile.

"I'm glad you like it."

The head chef of Cloud's End Pavilion, Chiru, was dressed in a ninja uniform. He was ranked 15th in the World Chef Ranking and had mastered the forbidden Dark Technique of the Revival Knife.

"Master Chin, long time no see."

Atashino looked at the small, elderly man with glasses. He was none other than the man who, along with Granny Setsuno, was a Gourmet Human National Treasure. He was also the master of Shokurin Temple and a staff member of Biotope 0.

"Atashino, long time no see. You've gotten much stronger," Chin Chinchin said with a gratified smile.

"Master Chin, my name is Kenji. It's a pleasure to meet you," Kenji said politely.

"I know you, Kenju," Chin Chinchin nodded.

Kenji was covered in question marks. Did you just get my name wrong? Then he remembered. In the anime and manga, Chin Chinchin seemed to have gotten Toriko's and Komatsu's names wrong, and more than once.

"Master Chin, I have some friends who would like to learn Food Honor. Would it be possible for them to study at Shokurin Temple?"

"Hehe, of course. But Food Honor is not so easily learned," Chin Chinchin said without objection. Shokurin Temple was not stingy with its teachings, but whether one could learn it depended on their own aptitude.

[Star Forger]: Anyone want to learn Food Honor...

Kenji explained some of the benefits of Food Honor to the group members. Apollo didn't need it; it wasn't very applicable to a robot.

Unnecessary movements and incorrect posture all consume unneeded energy, preventing one's true power from being released. If one learned Food Honor, the power, speed, and accuracy of their techniques would increase several times over, and the energy consumed would be drastically reduced.

[Martial Arts Maniac Fox]: I want to undergo the training for Food Honor.

Hoshimi Miyabi was the first to decide. If it could make her stronger, why not learn it? Although she was a Hollow Hunter now, there were still parts of her fighting technique that wasted energy.

[The Champion]: Would learning this technique be helpful for a Pokémon Trainer?

After eating so much gourmet food, Cynthia's own power had increased a lot. Most normal Pokémon were no match for her.

Garchomp and her other Pokémon: Master, why are you fighting yourself?

[Star Forger]: @Lady Justice Furina, you should come learn it.

The battles of Emanators seemed to be all about blasting each other with energy. Whoever had more energy won. It was mainly a comparison of scale and mechanics.

[Lady Justice]: I understand.

Miyabi and the others were all very interested in Food Honor. It could improve their abilities. Whether they could learn it or not was another question, but they definitely had to try.

Kenji smiled. Go ahead and learn. At Shokurin Temple, if your Food Honor wasn't up to par, you would go hungry. To eat, you needed the skill of Food Honor. Otherwise, you could only stare at the food, unable to bring it to your mouth.

"Master Chin, Lady Chiyo is with the Gourmet Corp. now," Kenji said.

"?"

Chin Chinchin's brow furrowed, and he let out a soft sigh. He hadn't expected to hear news of little Chiyo.

"I see. As long as she is alright," Chin Chinchin's voice was tinged with guilt.

"Come with me. Where are those friends of yours?" Chin Chinchin waved his hand. If Chiyo wanted to come back, she would naturally come back. He would wait for her.

"When we get to Shokurin Temple, I will use my spatial ability to bring them over."

Chin Chinchin nodded and then said, "To learn Food Honor is a difficult process. The ingredients at Shokurin Temple all require Food Honor to be eaten successfully."

"Those who can endure it will endure it. Those who cannot will withdraw on their own. This is only for the sake of self-improvement," Kenji said. He had already explained the risks and rewards to them.
