Toriko: Nnoh

SFX: BUSHUU
Toriko: No way...
I'd planned to completely dodge it but-----
SFX: ZUN
Toriko: !!
I see------
SFX: ZUN
Toriko: With the stronger "gravitiy",
my body's movements are slower than normal...!
Balbamoth: GUAAA

Page 5:
Toriko: I need react in an instant...
and give my body orders
one breath earlier than normal.
And for that,
seeing he opponents movements with my eyesight is too slow.
I'll predict their trajectories to some degree and move first.
Box: The Balbamoths that lived here exceeded Toriko in speed ten-odd times over.
But Toriko compensated for that with being a veteran of battle experience.
Toriko: Right or left
or up or down?
SFX: BUWAA KIH

Toriko: It's "right"-----!
Box: The shape of the beasts----
SFX: GACHIII
the expansion and contraction of their muscles
the movements of their joints
breathing-----!!
From every piece of information, he predicted the next move of his opponents.
His "experience" from fighting with so many beasts
Toriko removed all hesitation from his movements.
Toriko: That's it... I'm about used to it.
Perceivably, my weight right now is about double, around 460kg...
Compared to Gourmet World, this still isn't mu...
Hm?
[You should never comment on how well things are going.]

Balbamoths: GYAAS
GURUA
Toriko: Ooh!?
I can't avoid this!
Just as you'd expect, they used their numbers to fill in all the gaps!
Interesting.
Until I got beaten to a pulp in Gourmet World
I was barely even conscious.
The idea of "protection".
The importance of "defense" when fighting formidable enemies.
I'll test it.
Fork, which I've used for "attack",
I'll use for "defense"-----!!
Oo

Toriko: .........
......Hew
.......Okay... Somehow I managed to block this level of attack.
But to keep sending out such a huge and tough Fork
I need quite a bit of power......
I can't use it in rapid succession. And of course I can't send it far yet.
Okay then... On that note, I think I'll make my way to the next stage.
To a world of further "gravity" and...
the location of the "Melk Stardust".

Komatsu: Ah...
Good morning Melk-san.
Melk: Morning Chef Komatsu.
Did you sleep okay?

Page 14:
Komatsu: Naw~~~ I guess it was because of how excited I was all day yesterday, but I didn't get much sleep...
Were you up all night working, Melk-san?
It's really been on my mind.
Melk: Ah, sorry. Did I wake you?
Komatsu: No, no, I was worrying on my own accord.
Melk: I have a lot of requests so I don't have time to sleep.
Komatsu: Ah... Yeah, I guess if you've got all that in just one day...
Melk: Chef Komatsu,
I made some soup, want any?
Komatsu: WAA, I'll have some.
DELIBI~~~~S! So you're good at cooking, too, Melk-san?
Melk: No... That's such a kind thing to be told by Chef Komatsu.
Komatsu: Just as I thought, people who have good sense are good at whatever they do~~
SFX: HOWAAA
Melk: ............
Thank you......
Okay, time for work!
I've got plenty to do today, too!
Komatsu: Okay!

Komatsu: So even you started making kitchen knives
naturally from regular blacksmith work, right?
Melk: No.
SFX: KAAN KAAN
Melk: I originally started with supplying the materials.
But I can't get high capture level materials...
SFX: KAAN
Melk: Master used to do everything himself...
So I'm still inexperienced...
SFX: CHAPO JYUUUU
Komatsu: A... Amazing, it's giving off such a glittering glow.
Melk: This process of "tempering" is extremely important with kitchen knives.
SFX: HAAA

Page 16:
Komatsu: There's no way the Melk-san that made such beautiful knives
could possibly be inexperienced!
Melk: Is that so...?
Thank you.
SFX: SHUIN SHUIN
Melk: In order to sharpen edged tools in a graduated manner with normal whetstones
they are divided into three types, "rough stones", "middle stones", and "finishing stones". [Each type is in bold]
This natural "Gradient Whetstone", all of the roles in one stone.
From the coarse textured "rough stone" to the fine textured "finishing stone".
Komatsu: He~~~~~h. There's a miraculous whetstone like that that occurs naturally?
Melk: This was mined by master as well.
SFX: SHUIN
Komatsu: Th... That sorta thing doesn't matter.
The one who's mastered it is none other than you, Melk-san.

Page 17:
Melk: No, I've still got a long way to go.
The previous generation's skills were nothing like this...
Komatsu: .............
Melk: But anyhow...
Do you think Toriko-san is okay...?
Komatsu: We should believe in him, Melk-san!
Toriko-san is strong! He'll come back no matter what!!
Along with the "Melk Stardust" and the previous generation Melk!
Melk: ..........
.........
Komatsu: Ah, Melk-san!
Melk: !

Page 18:
Komatsu: Wh... What is this!?
Hey, could this possibly be...
Melk: Yeah.
An open air bath.
(On Page): Just what it looks like.
Melk: Also it's a hot spring!
Komatsu: Ho..
Hot spring!!?
Melk: Would you like to go in, Chef Komatsu?
Komatsu: Eh... is it okay!?
Melk: Of course.
It seems Master dug it up when he was young.
It's totally non-standard, but... He sure is amazing, master...
Komatsu: Is...
Is that how it went...?
SFX: ZABUA

Page 19:
Komatsu: FYA~~~~
This feels ni~~ce!! I've gotta tell Toriko-san about this!
.............
But anyhow, Melk-san...
He sure holds the previous generation very highly, doesn't he...?
Side: In the middle of bath steam, hidden from sight is Melk's heart! What is the truth that lies there!?
Komatsu: And he sure humbles himself a lot...
Despite being the greatest sharpener in the world...
I wonder why...
Melk: .............

Next issue, Toriko is confronted by a shocking truth!
And what are the whereabouts of the previous generation Melk...!?
