What is this!?
Narration: Certain chefs----
even on the other side of the earth,

Page 4:
Narration: Could sense that the "Ingredient's Voice"---- ["Ingredient's Voice" in white.]
was calling them...
SFX: TONTONTON TONTONTON
SFX: PITA
SFX: OOO
Guy: .............

Sign: Cooking School
Person: .............
Other Person: .............
Narration: All over the world-----
Just how many chefs did it reach...?
It is uncertain...
Toriko: What the hell is this?
A "bean"...? ["Bean" in bold.]
Coco: It kind of looks like it could be some sort of "seed"... ["Seed" in bold.]
For some reason the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves weakened...
Is this really not something that great...?
Toriko: That bastard old man~~~ I though there was gonna be an awesome feast in here....

Page 6:
Coco: Anyhow, this is part of the President's Full Course, so
it must be necessary to investigate in detail...
Narration: But in this food-infatuated Gourmet Age----
the Chefs that caught the faint "voice" of this single bean that has nothing remarkable about it at first glance,
was certainly exceedingly small in number----
Now let us go back a bit in time----
Fairytail Specialty Cooking "Otogi Castle"----
Someone: For that interview for the magazine.

Page 7:
Ootake: I give reporters some of our cooking to eat, but
they usually don't end up eating it anyway.
Description: "Otogi Castle"
Owner Chef
Ootake
Ootake: So Komacchan, why don't you eat it, since you came all this way?
Komatsu: Y...Yeah... Certainly!
So, the reporters aren't going to eat it?
Guy: HEEELLLOOOO I'm Morita from the Gourmet Magazine "Calorie"! ["Hello" big.]
Chef Ootake, it's very nice to meet you!!
Paper: Business Card
Someone: OWAAAAH! So this is "Otogi Castle's" "Fairy Tale Cooking"!!?
It's SOOOO majestic!!
SFX: KYURARIIN
Komatsu: WAA
Morita: It's like we came to a real fairy-tale land!
Ootake: Okay, hurry up, now. We have interviewing to do after this.
Morita: Okay, I'll get photographing!

Page 8:
Waiter: Here you are, Komatsu-sama.
Komatsu: WAA, thank you so much!
!
SFX: KOTO
Komatsu: This is...
*"Cotton Candy Cloud" and a "Beeswax Candle"... as well...
Asterisk: *Cotton Candy Cloud is Okinawa Prefecture's 宇江城昌樹-san's work!
Lower Asterisk: *Beeswax Candle is Ibaraki Prefecture's Penname Pan-san's work!
Komatsu: They're all unbelievably high-class ingredients!!
Take-chan...
How did you get such expensive things...?

Page 9:
Ootake: What do you think, Komacchan? How's my cooking?
Looks good, doesn't it?
Komatsu: Ah...
Ootake: I use ingredient that don't even show up on the market often.
So of course they're delicious.
Komatsu: Th... They really are amazing, Take-chan...
How how did you get these ingredients...
Ootake: Simple, money!
I send new information to the producers (Bishokuya), and stock up. It's all possible with money.
Komatsu: M... Must be profitable...
Ootake: Huhu. If I find a somewhat rare ingredient,
the fat, curious investors swarm from all over.
Then there's publicity... I invest huge public announcement fees and expose us to different media and we get customers.
Huhu... You can't forget about the right behind-the-scenes work... That way it's easy to get customers. ["behind-the-scenes work" in italics.]
And stupid customers that just want to eat food at high-class restaurants without knowing a thing about the taste,
Komatsu: ..........
Ootake: they drop money like it grows on trees.
So what do you think, simple, right?
Komatsu: It...

Page 10:
Komatsu: It's not good to talk about customers that way!!
Take-chan!!
............
Is...
Isn't what you're doing, behind-the-scenes work with the media
in order to have your shop excessively praised, and all...
Ootake: ..........
The reason the magazine reporters are here collecting information and doing interviews but not eating anything
is because they already decided what they're going to write, isn't it?
Ootake: ..........

Page 11:
Ootake: So?
Is there something wrong with that?
Komatsu: !
.........
Take-chan.
Bribery is a crime.
Ootake: It's not like they're writing lies or anything.
Because my food really is delicious.
Komatsu: If it's really delicious...
then you don't need to go out of your way to do something like that, right!!?
Ootake: Don't you get it!!?
That information is everything to stupid customers!!
Understand!!? Even customer satisfaction is decided by those stupid customers' questionnaires!!
Komatsu: Don't call your customers stupid!!
If the "Gourmet G-Men" get moving... ["Gourmet G-Men" in bold.]
they'll arrest you, Take-chan!!
Ootake: Like hell they will!! My shop is designated as "7-stars" by none other than the IGO!!
Everyone does this!! That how you go "upwards"!!

Page 12:
SFX: ZUKIIIN
Both: !?
Ootake: Uh...
Reporters: !?
..........
Komatsu: That, just now...
This is something I've tasted many times before...
The moment I hear the "voice of an ingredient"----!!

Page 13:
Ootake: ............
Th...
That just now...
Komatsu: !
Take-chan heard it, too?
Ootake: Hmph...
You're jealous of me, aren't you, Komacchan?
Komatsu: Eh?
Ootake: I've had more success than you, and even gotten into the top 100 ranking...
You're just jealous... That's why you're shouting all those bitter-sounding nicey-nice things.
Komatsu: ..........
You've really changed, Take-chan...
You weren't like this in the old days...
Ootake: Ah?
Komatsu: More than this shop... or your customers...
More than anything...
I can't help but feel bad for the ingredients...
Ootake: .........
Komatsu: Well...
I'll be going.
Ootake: If you're frustrated...

Page 14:
Ootake: If you're frustrated about it, then surpass me!!
And do it in your own way!!
Komatsu: ..........
I don't intend to compete with you, Take-chan.
In my combo with Toriko-san...
we'll aim for the top in our own way!!
Ootake: ..........
What...?
Did you say Toriko...!?
Narration: The "ingredient's voice" that Komatsu and Ootake heard at the same time... ["ingredient's voice" in bold.]
Was that was the same specific "ingredient"...? ["ingredient" in bold.]
That is not known...

Page 15:
Narration: But Komatsu...
Komatsu: ..........
Take-chan..
.Narration: Surely had the intuition that it was a different thing.
Side: "Matsu" and "Take" have parted ways... What will each one's food path be...!?
Ootake: Komacchan's combo is...
with that Bishokuya Toriko...?
SFX: GIRI
Narration: A few days later----
Ootake was taken away by someone...
And was said to have disappeared......
Bottom: Toriko
