Toriko 109

Oook. And so the Ozone Herb arc is over. Seems Toriko has this kind of pace where there is a smaller arc interspersing the larger ones.

Toriko: Don't move, Komatsu.

Toriko: Don't do anything stupid...
I don't know this thing's character, but...
Right now I can't feel any hostility from it.
Don't worry.
If anything happens, I'll protect you...!!
Komatsu: Toriko-san......
Toriko: That's natural for a "Combo"!! [Combo big/bold]

Toriko: ..........
Komatsu: Wh...
What was... that just now...
D... Do you think it could've been...
a GT...
Toriko: It wasn't a robot...
It was similar in appearance, but it didn't have the smell of the GT Robo's characteristic titanium alloy...
And if it were a robo, then I should've been able to sense the "operator's" (human's) presence in the real field.
There's no mistake...
That just now was inside and out, a wild beast...!!
Komatsu: Th... Then... Is it a type that's native to up here in the ether!?
Toriko: It had a body odor I'd never smelled... So it's probably a beast from some other land...
Maybe it came to eat the ethereal vegetables...?
Komatsu: N... Now that you mention it... It ate the "Ozone Herb", didn't it...?
It went "BEH" and spit it out, though... [BEH is big]
Toriko: It must've rotted. You need to eat the Ozone Herb with 2 people at once.

Toriko: Wh...
What!?
!!
Komatsu: The Ozone Herb...!!
It didn't rot, Toriko-san!!
SFX: Bah
Toriko: No way...
How the hell did it...
SFX: Karyu

Page 9:
Toriko: Did it...
bite it twice...!?
That moment... With so much speed that even the Ozone Herb didn't notice...
did it bite it twice so fast that it was about at the same time...!?
It can't be...
What kind of instantaneous force was that...
Komatsu: To.... Toriko-san...
What on earth...
Toriko: Komatsu...
That guy just now...
It might've been watching us from somewhere the whole time...
Komatsu: Eh?
Toriko: How to peel off the Ozone Herb's leaves... how to eat it without it rotting...
It learned how by watching how we did it...
Komatsu: It.... Learned it...?
Toriko: It's goal was probably the Ozone Herb, but...
it didn't know how to eat it...

Page 10:
Komatsu: From just watching us do it one time...
it learned how to eat it......?
Toriko: It most likely concluded that it was impossible to peel off the leaves alone...
And after it confirmed that when we got the Ozone Herb out, it came to eat it...
Possessing high intelligence...
and incredible physical ability...
Komatsu: .............
SFX: BUBEH
Komatsu: But...

Page 11:
Komatsu: Even though after going through all that, it got to eat it without it rotting...
For it to spit out such a delicious vegetable...
That animal must really live extravagantly!
Toriko: ..............
Yeah!
Though it may be smart, looks like it doesn't know a good taste when it eats it!
Toriko: Well, anyhow, I'm glad it didn't do anything...
Now then, Komatsu! The Ozone Herb,
let's get one for the old man and go home!
Komatsu: Y... Yes...
U... Um... Toriko-san...
For going home... uh... will that be on our own power... too...?
Toriko: Of course!
It's fine! For going home we just jump down, so it'll be easy!
Komatsu: GYAAA, I KNEW IT~~
"Just jump down" don't say it like it's so simple!
Toriko: Just what the hell...
................
was that thing...?

Ichiryuu: Na~~~h, Hahha.
Oh, right. I did have a request like that.
Toriko: You forgot, old man!?
SFX: JYORO~~~ tokutoku GEH
On Kettle: Hot Water
Ichiryuu: Ya did a good job capturing that thing, Toriko.
The Ozone Herb is a specially cooked ingredient.
It's capture level 68.
Toriko: It's thanks to him.
Lemme introduce you, old man.
This is the chef I formed a combo with, Komatsu.
Komatsu: It...
I-It's... It's nice... to meet you...
My... name is Komatsu...
Chef at Hotel Gourmet... that um... you allow me to be.
Ichiryuu: Hooh, an employee of ours, of the IGO.
Komatsu: A... Y... Ye...s... I...
I'm much obliged to having get to meet you.
Toriko: You're way too nervous, Komatsu...
Ichiryuu: And this Gourmet Case... Was it also you who input the program to preserve the Ozone Herb?
Komatsu: A... Y... Yes. I hadn't bought the data to preserve the Ozone Herb, so...
I took quite a few hours to enter the data at the location we got it from...
(In Bubble): Atmospheric pressure and such.
Ichiryuu: I see...
So he can feel the ingredients' voice...?
Ey, Toriko.
Toriko: Hm?

Page 15:
Ichiryuu: Looks like you found a goof chef to pair with...
Take care of him.
Toriko: ..............
Yeah...
SFX: Zu...
Toriko: BUYAA
BITTEEER!
What is this!?
Ichiryuu: WAHHAHHA This is made from the other leaves of the "Ozone Herb", it's "Ozone Tea".
TL Note: Literally, Ozone Tea = Ozone Cha
Ichiryuu: It's pretty bitter, but if you get used to it, it gets addicting.
Toriko: O... Ozone Tea!? Outer leaves...
Hey, old man, you already had an "Ozone Herb"!!?
Then why'd you specifically request it from me!?
Ichiryuu: You idiot! It was for your training, of course!!
Cause going into the "Gourmet World" inexperienced is an act of suicide.
Toriko: Yeah... If the problem's cold and low-oxygen, then I can already adapt.
So now even I can go into the "Gourmet World" ri-...
Ichiryuu: Moron.

Page 16:
Ichiryuu: You've still got a mountain of "environments" you need to be able to adapt to.
Here! The next request.
Toriko: EH!?
SFX: BISHI
Toriko: EE~~~~H, there're still another request!?
Ichiryuu: There's still plenty of 'em.
They're all written on that paper. Go capture all the ingredients.
Until then, I won't allow you go to into the "Gourmet World".
This is training.
Toriko: Ooh... What the hell...
Ichiryuu: Right now, Sani and Coco are also...
busting their asses, training to adapt to various environments.
Just like you are...
Toriko: Eh...
Sani and
Coco are...?

Page 17:
Ichiryuu: I don't mind if you invite those two for the ingredients...
It'll be good training.
And then...
"Zebura", too!!
Toriko: Ze... Zebura!?
But he's...
Ichiryuu: Toriko...
After this I'm entering into the "Gourmet World"...
When you guys feel you're up to it,
hurry to come catch up to me!!
Toriko: .............
Old man...
Okay!!
I'll head there soon, so wait for me!!
Ichiryuu: By the way, Komatsu-kun,
Komatsu: Ah...

Ichiryuu: I'll be waiting in anticipation
for you to come, too.
