Komatsu: HAWAWAwaWA
aAaAA
SFX: Wakuwaku (nervousness)
aA~~~~
Wha~t to do~~
Aaaaa,
AAAH
SFX: KYAAAAAAA
Side: For the sake of the mysterious ingredient (!?) and the kitchen knife, they head towards Melk!!
Toriko: Shut up, Komatsu! You're getting too excited!!
(On Page): Ya sound like a lovestruck young girl.
Komatsu: But!
But, BUT!!
I'm gonna meet the greatest sharpener in the world~~
Among us chefs, he's the charismatic among the charismatics!!
What kind of fine techniques do you think we'll see? I'm already excited!
Well, it's my first time meeting him, too, but...
this Melk, ["Melk" in white]
according to the rumors he's quite a powerful guy.
Komatsu: Eh?
Title: "Toriko"

Page 2:
Toriko: To test the sharpness of the knives he makes, he cuts apart huge wild beasts,
and in order to mine natural grindstones, he goes into super-danger zones,
also I heard his body itself has tons of knife cut scars on it, too...
Komatsu: ............
Toriko: Well... those are the rumors anyhow.
Komatsu: Eh!? That was a rumor!?
Toriko: "Melk Kitchen Knives" are famous and can be bought all over the world, but the man himself never appears in public...
The truth is, we're taking the various rumors about him as our lead, and are otherwise on our own.
It seems barely anyone's ever seen him.

Page 3:
Komatsu: S... So he's the charismatic sharpener with the unknown identity,
basically...
SFX: Doki doku (heartbeat)
Komatsu: Even with accepting jobs, he usually does it by letters or by email...
There are even rumors that he hates people... Cause otherwise why would he live out here in the middle of the mountains away from society.
Komatsu: He... He must just live for his work...
A picturesque artisan taking pride in his work.
Toriko: Well, first thing's first.
But when we've met Melk,
our real objective starts!!
Komatsu: Right!!
Toriko: And for that sake...!!
SFX: Zah
Toriko: We've got to...
climb this...
Komatsu: !!
...Eh...
Eh...!!?

Page 4-5:
Komatsu: EeEeeeeee
SFX: OOOOOOO

Komatsu: Wh... What is this endless staircase~~!!?
How on earth many steps are there, Toriko-san!!?
Toriko: I dunno...
This mountain's name is "Melk Mountain". ["Melk Mountain" in bold.]
It's said that Melk himself built it, and that's why this mountain bears his name...
The peak is at an elevation of about 4000 meters. So there'd be about 20,000 steps to the peak, I guess?
SFX: Gabo
Komatsu: Tw... 20,000...!?
I've never climbed a staircase like that~~
Toriko: Compared to "Vegetable Sky" this is a simple task. Come on, let's go, Komatsu.
Komatsu: HYOEEee
SFX: HYUOOOOOO
SFX: GAH
Komatsu: O...
kaay.

Page 7:
Komatsu: W...
Wait up, please, Toriko-saaan!!
SFX: HAA HAA
Toriko: You, hurry up! If you laze around the sun's gonna set, Komatsu!
Komatsu: D... Don't you think... each individual step is too big on this stairway?
(On Page): It's hard to climb.
Toriko: Haha, maybe for Melk these are just the right size, eh?
That Melk's probably a huge guy, don't you think?
Komatsu: EEEEEEEEEEEH A... A human this big...? [EEEEH is big.]
I've never seen one outside Knocking Master Jirou!!
Also, I'd like to believe someone who makes such intricate beautiful knives isn't a giant.
I'm sure it's because Melk is concentrating on his work alone
that he purposely made the stairs hard for guests like people coming with requests to climb so they won't intrude on him.
Hah,
then why don't we just go in the sky by plane...

Page 8:
SFX: Bafoa
Komatsu: !!
[Komatsu, the answer's always the same, why do you keep asking that question?]
Komatsu: Ah... I see... The sky's got the usual pattern......
So it's impossible to go by plane, right......?

Page 9:
SFX: Pachi... Pachi...
Komatsu: I wonder if Melk-san
will make a kitchen knife for me...
Toriko: Well,
ya won't know unless you try.
SFX: Mokyu mokyu
Even in normal circumstances, a lot of craftsmen have bad tempers...
If intruding on him all of a sudden offends him or something, what do we do...?
Toriko: If we get him angry, then we pray he doesn't test one of his Melk Knives on us.
Komatsu: P... Please don't say scary things like that...
Toriko: More important is the "Melk Stardust"...
Whether or not Melk has information about it...
that's vital.
And worst case with your knife, you can always buy one at a department store.
Komatsu: W... Well that's true, but...
If we're coming all the way here to meet him, then I think I'd really would rather ask him directly, ya know?... EHEHEHE [EHEHEHEH is big]
Toriko: That's creepy. Come on, let's hit the hay. ["That's creepy" is big.]

Melk: Yes, I did.
Toriko: I see... So that knife-like sharp fighting spirit was yours...?
So you were keeping watch for that Gorilla from the beginning...
That technique you used to take off all of those giant scales at once...
You're pretty good at handling a knife... Who exactly are you? A disciple of Melk?
Bottom: Toriko
