- Okay, I’ve made the call! / They can’t come here, but…
- I’ve called together all the gourmet chefs employed by my restaurant chain, that’s around 50 thousand people. / I told them to convene at Kitchen Dome, which has 50 thousand kitchens…!!

- 20 thousand people from my store are coming…!
- I’ll have them gather in the plaza close by, where everyone has taken refuge.

- We have 10 thousand people…
- And we’ve tried to contact as many gourmet chefs from other gourmet schools as possible.

- We have around 8000 people…
- I’ve asked all my snackbar colleagues to go to work at their stores.

- 30 thousand of mine!
- They may be ex-Underground Gourmet World, but their skills are tried and true, so don’t worry!

- Thank you all so much. I will make an urgent demand…
- to have basic kitchens and cooking cars set up where the gourmet chefs are gathering. / The rest…

2
- is up to Komatsu-kun…
- At this juncture…

- there’s nothing we can do but pray…

- This is hard…

- Each grain of the coloured rice itself is irregular and uneven, and the colour even changes depending on the temperature and moisture it’s exposed to…
- Thus making it difficult to combine… / And depending on the combination, the time taken to steam could differ by mere seconds…

- Not only the number of times beaten, but the amount of strength put into each pound and the angle at which you beat it is different each time…
- First, I’ll have to standardize the rice combination, steaming time… number of times beaten etc.

- If I don’t find the cardinal rule to this…
- it won’t become a mochi that anyone can make…

- beep—
- beep—

- Wh…what!?
- My phone started ringing all of a sudden!!
- An emergency transmission from the IGO!?

- To the people getting drenched by the “green-coloured rain”.
- I’m only saying this once, so listen well.

- He’s being projected from the building monitors!!
- That’s… / Tyran of poison cooking!!

- Apart from Livebearer, he’s the only other chef from a non-IGO-member nation…
- to get into the top 30 world ranking! A genius gourmet chef!!
- Why is someone who so rarely appears in public…

- That “green-coloured rain” is a deadly poison called Green Rain.
- It’s certain death within the hour once you get drenched by it…

5
- …eh…
- Ehhhhh~!!?

- W-within the hour!? You’re kidding, right!!?
- Is what he said true…!? / Tyran’s an expert gourmet chef of poisons. There is a high possibility that it’s true…

- And somehow…
- Oh no!! I’m starting to feel sick…

- Don’t worry. You won’t die RIGHT NOW.
- I will teach you certain ACUPUNCTURE POINTS on the body, which if precisely pressed…
- will allow you to live a little longer.

- These are points that will delay the poison’s effects.
- You have to massage for five minutes, but it is quite complicated so… / concentrate and follow these directions. This video…

- will be repeatedly broadcasted many times… Make sure you pass the word to the people who haven’t seen this. / Now then, let’s begin.
- Eh…
- W… wait a minu…
- First…

6
- I’ve also given the word…
- to all my chefs without missing one millimetre.

- Yuda-san.
- But how will this turn out…
- five minutes have already passed…

- From the viewpoint of someone who frequently does medicinal cooking like me…
- to simplify the cooking process of “Medicinal Mochi” is just about impossible…

- I’d advise you not to underrate Komatsu-chan’s talent.
- Serving King Yuda.
- Mngh.

- Forsooth…
- it should be said that Komatsu-san, who has acquired “Food honour”, has made his talent bloom…

- A few days ago on his way back from “Shokurin Temple”, Komatsu-san came by my restaurant…
- and there I was given a display of his talent.

- As everyone is well aware…
- To eat our “disappearance cuisine”, with its delicate dishes, is a difficult feat.

7
- To that, Komatsu-san said…
- Chiru-san…
- it’d be much better if ordinary customers could eat the food more easily!!

- Having said that, Komatsu-san went about…
- inventing a new method of cooking the delicate ingredients so that even ordinary people could easily eat them. / And he did it in a short time.

Linked: what…
- The delicate ingredients from Chiru-kun’s place were…!?

- Frankly, it stirred a certain amount of envy in me.
- Both for his extraordinary talent as a gourmet chef… / and above all…

- for that form, which is…
- ACCEPTED BY THE INGREDIENTS…

- Fufufu…
- It could well be that we have come into contact with an extraordinary person…

- Right, Nono…

- Oh?
- Nono?

8
- Fufu… is that so…
- Watch him… Nono.

- And go forth together… / hand in hand…
- for you are the next generation…

- …A…
- Amazing…
Box: “Medicinal Mochi”, cooking simplification—

9
- A challenge he’s never come across before…
- occupies the full of Komatsu’s concentration.

- This is…
- already…

- Since the cooking method research began…
- 9 minutes and 50 seconds have passed—

- It’s no good…
- huh…

- We cannot condemn him…

- Time to start selecting…
- those who will eat…

10
- I finished it!!!

- The… “Medicinal Mochi”’s…
- simplified cooking method… / I found it!!

- N… no way…
- Really, Chef Komatsu!!?

- Notify the world at once!!
- Have the chefs gathered!?

11
- Kitchen Done—
- Exclusive chefs of “Damala’s Group”.
- 50 thousand!!

- Yes!

- Exclusive chefs of “Guts Group”!!
- 20 thousand!!

- Chefs from each gourmet cooking school, 10 thousand!!

- Ex-Underground gourmet world chefs, 30 thousand!!

- And…

12
- Exclusive chefs of the “Setsuno Group”!!
- 1 million!!!!

- We’re here too!!
- Chef Komatsu!!

- These are… “Hotel Gourmet Group”’s cooks…
- IGO is working with us too!!

- You…
- You guys…

- In addition, chefs in the world everywhere have gathered!!
- We’re gonna do this too!!
- I’m cooking too!!
- In total, we have an overwhelming number of 5 million people!!

- Are there enough “ingredients” for cooking!?

13
- Leave it to me!!
- The ingredients have been gathered by us gourmet wholesalers!!

- Tom-san!!

- We heard everything.
- The rest is up to you, Komatsu!

- Yes!!!

- Now then…
- I’ll tell you how to make “Medicinal Mochi”!!

15
- He’s a genius!!!

16
- It’s done!!

- S… so fast!! / It took…

- 3 minutes!!!
- 3 minutes!!!
- He made a “special preparation dish” into a common simple dish like instant ramen!!

- Cooking begins down!!
- Distribute the finished mochi to the stricken areas, starting with the outer areas first!!
- With 5 million chefs cooking, over 200 million can be made in 2 hours!!

- That was fast. I applaude you… / to think there was such a way to cook it…
- what’s more, with this cooking method, it’s possible for us to make the remaining 300 million.

- That was brilliant, Komatsu-kun.
- To think you actually accomplished it… / and in precisely the 10 minutes you set…

17
- It wasn’t 10 minutes, sensei…
- It took less than 5 minutes to invent the actual method itself…

- …what…

- In the remaining 5 minutes, Chef Komatsu…
- was thinking about how to make the mochi’s “taste” even more delicious.

- Ah… well… I just thought…
- since you’re gonna eat it anyway, it might as well be delicious…

- This child…
- even going so far as to pursue flavour in such a short of time…

- Toriko-san, Coco-san, Sani-san, Zebra-san!
- I’m managed somehow to do my part!

- I leave the Four Beasts…
- to you!!

19
- The sky… sinks into “blood”…

- Uwooohhhh!
