2: You look scared all of a sudden.
3: You're not that much of a wuss, are you?
4: No--...
5: In this environment, where the physical sense of gravity is close to 5 times what it is on the surface...
6: my body has already been trained far more than I could possibly imagine...

4: Y...you...
5: You...
6: could you be...

8)
1: Woah, what's he doing?!
2: I have no idea what he's saying!!
3: rustle...
4(2b): rustle rustle...
5: He pulled out stones and is going on and on about something--

9)
1: No, hold on!!
2: Wait a minute!!
3: Why are you waving bye now?!

7: Mmm?
8: What, what?
9: What?
10: Please, say it loudly.
11: Mm?

10)
1: Aggggggghhhh!!
2: Owaaaaaaahhh, what the?! (It came back!)

11)
1-2: Ahhhhh
3: His voice got louder--!?
4: ...just like I told you earlier...
5: See ya.
6: No, no, NOOO!!
7: Hold on!
8(2b): I didn't hear a single word you said back there!! One more time!!
9: One more time, from the top!! From your self-introduction, please!!
10: And hey, what is that, anyway?! That stone that makes your voice louder!!
11: And what's with this monster?!
12: I have a ton of stuff I want to ask you!!

12)
1: Eh?
2: Melk-san...
3: zu...
4: Ahh.
5: This is good.
6: It really warms me up, Chef Komatsu.
7: ...are you...
8: Really not the 2nd...
9: Is that true...Melk-san?

13)
1: Well, to be exact...
2: I'm not exactly sure whether I was actually made into
3: a "disciple" or not.
4: Eh...
5: Originally, I...
6: should have died out in a deep, remote region of the mountains...
7: But my master picked me up...
8: I was abandoned when I was just a baby...
9: But my master coincidentally came upon me, and picked me up and raised me...
10: At the time, master was feared as the "Demon Gourmet"...
11: And apparently no one could believe he'd actually take a baby and raise it...
12: But I alone felt it...
13: The one-of-a-kind...
14: "Demon Gourmet"'s...
15: love--

14)
1: A...
2: A foster parent...
3: ...it's natural, isn't it? For a child to be interested in their parent's "job"...
4(2b): But master never let me into his work area when he was busy, no matter what...because there were a lot of dangerous tools there...
5: But as a result, I only became more interested in his work,
6: and often secretly peeked in there.
7: And the only time I ever snuck in there...
8: an accident happened...
9: Now that I think about it--
10: I think it was a good thing...
11: I learned about the horror of blades at a young age...
12: And...
13: I learned of their beauty...
14: I soon stopped crying...
15: and became entranced by the knives...
16: Master used this as a chance
17: to show me his work, little by little...

15)
1: Master was powerful in his sharpening...
2: with frightening force...
3: And I became swallowed up even more
4: into the world of knife sharpening...
5: So...
6: then you started on the path to becoming a "sharpener," Melk-san...
7: That sounds like a wonderful master-disciple relationship to me.
8: No...master was a silent man, and never spoke...
9: He never taught me a thing...
10: All I could do was watch and then steal his sharpening and smithing techniques...
11: The truth is, every year
12: close to 100 people came requesting discipleship...
13: But no one lasted more than three days.
14: Th...three days...?!
15: Master was always a reticent and shy man...
16: but more than anything, it was his particularities about doing all his work alone, including gathering the materials for his knives,
17: and his strict nature that made it impossible for anyone to follow him...

16)
1: So then I thought...
2: I needed to become strong...!!
3: In any case, I needed to become strong...
4: or I would never become a first-class sharpener like master...!!
5: Melk-san...
6: Melk...
7: I don't think you're that skilled, but...
8: Let's go out front...!!
9: Right now...!!
10(2b): So...that's why you were so obsessed...
11: with "strength"...
12: It was the most important thing to me...
13: Strength is the "proof" of the second generation...!!

17)
1: In order to sweep away the weakness within me...
2: I also threw away my own womanhood...
3: ...but that...
4: was a short-lived resistance...
5: The truth is, my body is female...
6: And I could never become as strong...
7: or stalwart a sharpener as Master.
8: I...
9: I don't understand...
10: Melk-san, as the "2nd,"
11: you're doing excellent work, aren't you...?!

18)
1: My master has never once...
2: acknowledged me...
3: I'm just calling myself the "second"...
4: Sorry, Chef Komatsu...
5: Just like Toriko said...
6: I'm a fake...
7: That isn't true!!!
8: You're "real!!!!"
9: Eh?

19)
1: Ohhh...
2: A...
3: Awesome...
side: This is where legends are born!!

Next: Next, the shocking secret revealed by Melk the 1st!! And the legendary "technique" is...?!
