Page 12:
Komatsu: That beast's "tears" are...
the Mellow Cola!!
Zebura: Wh...at?
Toriko: Tears...?
Zebura: How do ya know that?
Kid?
Komatsu: It's written in this book.
Even how to get it out...!!
Toriko: ...Book?
Komatsu: Yes, Toriko-san.
That beast is a specially cooked ingredient!
Toriko: What?
Komatsu: This book has lots of methods for preparing
specially cooked ingredients and how to cook them recorded in it!!
Toriko: A specially cooked ingredient...?
!
This guy...

Page 13:
Toriko (flashback): Toriko: Man these guys are tough.
You had some, right?
What'd you think, Zebura?
Don't tell me, just now...?
That was tasty!?
Nu... Why...!?
Why the hell was only one of them tasty...?
I don't get it......
Toriko: So those prey were all specially cooked ingredients...
Once in a while we beat them in that made their tastiness increase.
But was turning out as just one that came up by coincidence...?
Toriko (flashback): Oh.
What's this...?
This part was totally delicious...
All right, score!!
This guy's the only tasty one!!
GUWAH dammit.
This one taste's awful!!
Zebura: Nitaaa
Toriko: Then there was a way to bring down most of the beasts inside the pyramid
that would make them tasty!!

Page 14:
Zebura: Kid, you little bastard.
Yer saying you can read those crazy symbols?
Komatsu: No, not at all.
Zebura: Ah?
Komatsu: But...
I read hundreds of cook books a year...
So from the length of the drawings and words I can get a basic impression of what the contents mean!
Toriko: Zebura.
Zebura: !
Toriko: You could say that it's thanks to Komatsu that we were able to get here...
It ain't coincidence.
Komatsu has been calling it towards the Mellow Cola.
Komatsu's got the talent of being liked by ingredients!
Believe in him!
Zebura: Hmph.
SFX: ZAH

Page 15:
Zebura: No matter how much the ingredients like ya,
if you don't capture it, it's pointless.
Komatsu: Right!
So that's the favor I have
to ask of you two!!
Zebura: Keh. This bastard's in top form.
Toriko: Okay, let's do it!!!
SFX: DAH
Toriko: I wonder if we've got the stamina...
to take on this level a wild beast...
Narration: The two's current energy totals are
Toriko, 2.2 million kilocalories.
Zebura 3.0 million kilocalories.
SFX: OOO
SFX: ZAH
Side: What is the creeping true intent...!?
SFX: POTA POTA
Bottom: Toriko
Next issue, the climax of the Cola Arc with the center color! Will they experience the true drink...!?
