Toriko: Gourmet Chat Group

Chapter 44: Erina, I Want to Eat Fish

The two of them didn't end up fighting. Toriko thought the Jewel Meat was good, but it wasn't a must-have for him. In the end, because the Jewel Meat was a better fit for Sunny, it became the main course of his menu. Toriko, seeing Sunny's smug, triumphant expression, almost punched him.

"Mr. Kenji, you're finally back!"

"That's a... big wolf!" Smile was startled by Lotta. Wolves were already intimidating, let alone a Battle Wolf.

"Lotta won't attack you, Smile. Is the house finished?" Kenji asked.

"It was completed a few days ago. I'll show you around. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, we can change it," Smile nodded.

"For your excellent service, I'll definitely give you a ten-star review later," Kenji said with a smile.

Smile scratched his head. "Well, thank you, Mr. Kenji."

When Kenji saw his house, his eyes lit up. It was a three-story, traditional-style villa. The windows, entrance, and balcony were all simple yet elegant. From the windows, he could see that there were many rooms inside. Because it was built with hard marble and granite, it gave off a sense of unshakeable stability.

Kenji was very satisfied with this. Although a Candy House looked whimsical, its shelf life was too short.

"From the outside, I'm very satisfied. Your design is excellent, Smile," Kenji praised.

"I'm glad you're happy. Some of the furniture is carved from ingredients, so it's easy to replace in the future," Smile said.

Kenji's requirements were much more reasonable than Toriko's Candy House. For a house like this, you just had to change the furniture periodically.

"Let me show you the inside," Smile said, leading the way.

Kenji used facial recognition to open the door. The interior decoration was luxurious but not gaudy, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that had a hint of simplicity. The chandelier in the living room was made of candy crystals, and the soft carpet was made from the fur of a beast...

With edible furniture, if he ever got too lazy to cook, he could just take a bite out of a chair.

The kitchen and bathroom were also meticulously designed. But the gym left Kenji speechless. At his current level of strength, would lifting weights even do anything?

"Smile, I'm a Gourmet Hunter. What's the use of a gym?" Kenji asked.

Smile: "..."

He was stunned. Right.

"I'll help you change it to something else later," Smile nodded. It was indeed his oversight.

"It's fine, leave it. It's not like I'm short on rooms," Kenji said, shaking his head.

After a quick tour, Kenji was very satisfied and immediately paid Smile the remaining balance. He had only paid the deposit before.

Smile loved clients like this, who were decisive and paid promptly.

"So comfortable!"

Lying on the large bed in the master bedroom, Kenji let out a comfortable moan. The soft bed and the faint scent of lavender made him feel drowsy, and he soon drifted off to sleep.

"Yaaawn~"

Kenji slept until noon the next day. He sat up, yawning and stretching, and ruffled his messy hair. A bed in a hotel could never compare to the comfort of one's own bed.

[Star Forger]: "Miss Erina, are you free right now? @God's Tongue"

Chef, I want to eat fish. Komatsu was far away, and the partner Grandmaster Ichiryu had arranged for him hadn't shown up yet. So, he had decided. Erina, I choose you!

[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "Oh my♪ Is Kenji asking Erina on a date?"

That pink piggy, Elysia... Kenji ignored her. High attack, low defense, a glass cannon. The next time they met... kabedon... make her blush. Heh heh heh... Elysia, you wouldn't want to see the Earth get wiped out by the Herrscher of the End, would you?

[God's Tongue]: "I'm free right now. What's the matter?"

For the past two days, Erina had been catching up on the chat group's history. She was incredibly curious about the ingredients in Kenji's world. As a chef, ingredients were far more appealing to her than power.

[Star Forger]: "Come over to my place. I need a chef to cook breakfast."

[God's Tongue]: "???"

Erina was fuming. Was he treating her, the owner of the God's Tongue, like a maid? She was the young lady of the Nakiri family! The injustice!

[Crash-Test Pilot]: "I thought the ingredients in Mr. Kenji's world could be eaten raw."

Daigo had tasted the food Kenji had sent before. It was so delicious you couldn't stop eating.

[Star Forger]: "Poisonous ingredients like the Puffer Whale need to be cooked before they can be eaten."

[Star Forger]: "Aren't you interested in tasting a delicacy you've never had before, Erina?"

This line... it really got to her. There were very few chefs who could create a dish that could move the God's Tongue. Although Erina hadn't reached the point of anorexia like her mother, her superhuman sense of taste meant that she had no interest in ordinary food. Now, an opportunity was presented to her. Erina was undoubtedly tempted.

Temptation = Action. I'm in~

[God's Tongue]: "Alright. I'll see for myself if it's really that delicious."

Erina had joined late, so she hadn't had a chance to taste the ingredients from the world of Toriko.

[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "Oh, I'd love to go too, but I have to fight some Honkai Beasts soon."

The next Herrscher was probably about to be born, so the Honkai energy was becoming more active, and Honkai Beasts were appearing more frequently. As one of the top fighters in the Fire Moths, she had to go out and clean up the beasts that were harming people.

[Lady Justice]: "There have been a lot of trials lately."

She used to think that trials were a good way to pass the time, but now that she had joined the chat group, she didn't want to go anymore. If it weren't for Neuvillette (her prime minister) forcing her, she would have just stayed in the Palais Mermonia.

[Star Forger]: "After Erina finishes cooking, I'll send you all a portion."

[Sun God]: "I'm good."

Apollo was not a carbon-based life form. He couldn't, and didn't need to, eat that kind of food.

[God's Tongue has requested to enter.]

Kenji immediately accepted. A spatial vortex opened, and a figure stepped out.

Erina had long, light-blonde hair, and her skin was as delicate as white porcelain. Her purple eyes, besides having the coolness of a lofty beauty, also held a hint of nervousness at being in a strange place.

Kenji admired the youthful girl before him. She had a curvaceous figure that surpassed most girls her age. Her Totsuki Academy uniform perfectly outlined her ample assets, and the black, glossy, over-the-knee socks accentuated her long, slender legs. As expected of the JK-style uniform... a uniform, a short skirt, and over-the-knee socks. He thought back to his own high school attire, where the boys' and girls' uniforms were both a jacket and long pants. Everyone was a perfect gentleman, so who were they trying to protect against?

Kenji was very satisfied with Erina's looks and figure. Now, to see her cooking skills.

At this point in her story, Erina probably looked down on commoner's food. Besides her family background, this was partly due to the influence of her father. But in the end, food was meant to be eaten. A dish from a five-star restaurant wasn't necessarily more delicious than one from a small, ordinary diner, and the price was prohibitive for most people.

Oh, right... Kenji suddenly remembered that the members of the Nakiri family seemed to have a "Foodgasm" ability that didn't just cause clothes to explode, but also walls. I should be careful. This is a new house.
