Yu~~mmy~~~~
I've never had yakiniku this delicious before!!
Thank you so much, Toriko-san.
Toriko: Hm?
Komatsu: To reffer me into a shop on one of the upper floors of a "Gourmet Tower", it's like a dream come true!! ["one of the top floors" in bold.]

Page 3:
Toriko: Haha, I know, right? Most of the shops above the 200th floor of the "Gourmet Towers" reject first-time customers.
Diagram:
Upper Right: Outlook floor
Lower Right: Members only
Top Left: Highest Floors
301~320F
Middle Left: Upper Floors

Toriko: And even further up, you can only get in by airship. People are in throngs to get into those members-only places.
I'll get you in there someday.
Komatsu: No, no, this is more than enough! This is the 7-star Yakiniku "Healthui~~"!!
I'm so happy I'm getting to eat the highest class *"Cattle Pig Fowl"!! ["Cattle Pig Fowl" is big]
Asterisk: *Kanagawa Prefecture's Pen Name Tissue-san's work!
Komatsu: And the 273rd floor's special private lookout room!!
肉に夜景に目が忙しくて忙しくて！！
Looking at the meat and the night view, my eyes are so busy!!
It's kinda so high it's scary, though.
Waitress: Sorry to keep you waiting. You top-class beef ribs, top-class sirloin,
top-class rumen and special top-class skirt-steak, sirs.
Komatsu: WAAAA, they're heeeere!!
Toriko: Actually, Komatsu
even though this place is a Yakiniku place...
there's something even more famous than the meat on their menu.
Komatsu: Eh?
Something more famous than the meat on their menu?

Page 4:
Toriko: That's their
"vegetables". [Vegetables is white. But that's really the whole line...]
Komatsu: V...
Vegetables!?
Waitress: Sorry to keep you waiting.
Here is your vegetable combination platter, sirs.
Komatsu: WOW!
Such an amazingly vivid color.
"Snack Sangchu".
TL Note: Sangchu is a korean lettuce.
Komatsu: I'm gonna try eating beef rib wrapped in it.
SFX: Pari Jyuku
SFX: Kari pari

Page 5:
Komatsu: Amazing!!
What is this clear sound!?
新鮮な胡瓜や牛蒡をかじたような食感！！
It has the texture of biting into a fresh cucumber or burdock!!
The sangchu's freshness is supporting the juicy savoriness of the meat.
Or rather, the "Sangchu's taste" is making the fat of the meat better!? [Sangchu's taste is non-bold]
The taste of the vegetable is promoting the meat!!
Toriko: Yakiniku "Healthui~~"'s forte isn't meat.
It's these healthy vegetables.
SFX: Jyushu~~
SFX: Kari Jyuku
Komatsu: Bacon Leaves! They look delicious!!
TL Note: Bacon Leaves literally = Bacon no Ha. Remember from waaay back in chapter 5?
Toriko: They're fresh even raw. But when they're fried the savoriness increases even more.
SFX: Kari kari
SFX: Kari
Komatsu: Yeaaah.
So sweeeet.
SFX: Kari kari
Komatsu: Let's fry the Egg Onions, too.
The pumpkin's good, too.
SFX: Jyuh Jyu~~ Bori bori kari kari

Page 6:
Komatsu: Fuiiiiii. I'm totally full.
On Page: That was yummy~~
Komatsu: To think that at a Yakiniku shop,
it wasn't meat, but "vegetables" I got full on...
Toriko: Huhu.
Vegetables are really something, aren't they?
Komatsu: Yes.
But Toriko-san,
why'd you suddenly bring me to a place like this.
Komatsu, do you
have any interest in the "King of Vegetables"?

Page 7:
Komatsu: Ki...
King of Vegetables...?
Toriko: Yeah... The truth is, I took a request from the president of the IGO...
So now I'll be going to go they THAT thing. [Note italics on "that"]
Komatsu: EEEEEEH, IGO's president!!? [The EEEH is bigger and a different font.]
That's a pretty amazing person to get a request from!!
Toriko: Many tens of thousands of meters above sea level... said to be above the clouds, the vegetable garden in the ether.
It's name is "Vegetable Sky". And an uncountable number of unique vegetables grow there. It's truly a vegetable heaven.
Komatsu: Vegetable heaven...!? It... It's in the sky!?
Toriko: According to the president, only a handful of people have ever made it there, but they say that usually when someone goes there they come back a vegetarian.
Seems that's just how fresh and delicious the vegetables there are...
And among them is the ultimate vegetable...
the Vegetable King, the "Ozone Herb"...!!
Komatsu: O...
Ozone Herb......?

Page 8:
Toriko: Just one bite is enough to make earthly vegetables taste like they're past the eat-by date.
To relish in the vibrancy and fresh savoriness blessed directly from the heavens, it's truly the pinnacle of vegetables!!
Even in the Gourmet Towers which handle every ingredient,
there's a rumor that there's not one restaurant where you can eat "Ozone Herb"...
SFX: Shubo
Komatsu: It... It's the first I've heard of it, too.
There's really a vegetable that incredible...?
On the 273rd floor of the Fork Building of the Gourmet Towers,
the delicious vegetables of the shop set up 1092 meters in elevation, Yakiniku "Heathsui~"!
In both "taste"...!!
and height...!!
it well surpasses this shop, the King of Vegetables!!

Page 9:
Toriko: You wanna taste it, Komatsu?
The moment vegetables become the main dish!!?
Komatsu: I'll go!!
I wanna taste it!!
The "Ozone Herb"!!
Toriko: Okaay.
SFX: Jyujih...
Tomorrow
we head out.
What do we owe?
Waitress: It comes to 37,620,000 yen.
Komatsu: Expensive!!

Page 10:
Box: The next day----
SFX: KAH
SFX: GOOOOOO
Toriko: Haha. I can’t believe he got the IGO’s preivate capture plane for us. [Haha big]
Komatsu: A... Amazing... It's my first time riding on one...
On Page: I'm awestruck.
Komatsu: You weren't lying about getting a request directly from the president, were you?
Toriko: You didn't believe me!?
だいたい今回お前を誘ったのも会長がだな...
Really, it was because of the president that I invited you this time...
Komatsu: Eh?

Page 11:
Toriko: ......Naw...
It's nothing...
SFX: Gaboh
Komatsu: What did...
the president say?
Toriko: ............
Ichiryuu: Ey, Toriko.
I've seen you happened across a pretty good chef.
Toriko: Ah?
Ichiryuu: Huhu, play dumb all you want, but I can tell just by looking you...
Listen up, Toriko... For a Bishokuya that provides ingredients,
the most important thing to have is a chef to cook them.
Especially one for your level of ingredients...
If you've found a chef that can fit that bill...
You'd better quickly join together as a "combo"!! [combo big/bold]
And travel together all the time!!

Page 12:
Toriko: Travel...
Together...?
Ichiryuu: No matter how amazing the Full Course that the Bishokuya provides is,
without someone who can "cook" it, it loses all its value... ["cook" in bold.]
Just like with me.
SFX: Nahaha
Toriko: ............
Old man...
Ichiryuu: If you've got that, hurry up and go!!
It's right where I told you it is!!
The "Ozone Herb"!!
I'll be waiting in anticipation!!
Toriko: ...........
SFX: Hahhahha
Toriko: Hey... Komatsu.
Komatsu: Yes...?
Toriko: ...........
You...

Page 13:
Toriko: Would you...
with me...

Toriko: It was nothin'!
Don't worry about it!!
Komatsu: E~~~H!!
But I am concerned about it~~!!
Please tell me~~~!!
Toriko: Naw... I just thought I'd try as hard as I can to protect your well-being on these trips from now on...
Komatsu: Eeh, really? That's what you wanted to say!?
Toriko: What's with you...? Then if something happens I ain't coming to save you.
Komatsu: I don't want that!! Please save me!!
Toriko: Hey, I can see our destination already.
SFX: GOOOOOO
Komatsu: Wh... What is that? It looks like a giant vine hanging down from the sky!!?

Page 17:
Toriko: That's a "Sky Plant" vine...
They sometimes call it the "Invitation from Heaven"!!
From here, several tens of thousands of meters up into the sky...
until "Vegetable Sky"'s ["Vegetable Sky" in bold/white]
entrance...
SFX: Kiiiiin Bafu
SFX: IIIII
SFX: TAH
