Hi guys I hope you like this chapter I've also put a little more though about Aiko's power so please enjoy!

Chapter 19

One bright and sunny morning aiko woke up as she yawn looking outside her window.

" that was a good sleep." Aiko said rubbing her eyes together as she got up getting ready for the day. ' these last few weeks were really fun' she though As she got dressed and grabbed her backpack with essentials as well as a new gourmet case.

" I wonder how everyone is doing?" Aiko said as she locked the door. " hmm I'd better get something for breakfast"

Meanwhile with komatsu

" chef komatsu is cooking at the restaurant!"

"He is general manager! Just seeing the head chef fills me with emotion!"

"We had some parmesansho around didn't we?" Komatsu ask

"Y-yes!"

" the horsetail that me and Ai-chan picked while inside the regal mammoth worth the fruit combined with the rich Parmesan cheese and tingling spiciness of pepper. The parmesansho fruit" komatsu said " that added to the marbled pork the marbled wabuu "

" chef, what kind of gourmet spicer is that? I've never seen one before"

"Ah, that's a special gourmet spicer after all Toriko-San gave it to me" komatsu said

" Bishokuya Toriko? Amazing!"

"You sure are in high spirits chef komatsu"

" Bureau director Uumen! Johannes-San" komatsu said

After a few minutes the director tasted the food prepared by komatsu

"my this has quite the taste!" Uumen said

" thank you very much" komatsu said " let me give it some more spice to give it different a fuller taste" he said as he took out his gourmet spicer adding more spices to the meal as Uumen took another bite.

"Mm delicious the flavor of the cheese,pepper and cinnamon have bloomed giving it a more impactful no a more iyanpacful taste" Uumen said

"So what about your work with the IGO?" Komatsu ask

"Do you know what happened with the permanent member of the security council president dohem of the republic of the Roto?" Uumen said

" Dohem?" Komatsu said " the man that disguised himself as?!"

" yes the Bishokukai slipped through the the gap in security...and changed places with president Dohem Needless to say the president was considerately angry about the laxness of IGO security." He said

" I see" Komatsu said

" right now a meeting where the heads of each nation come together is being held the gourmet summit and now the president dohem has become obstinate and he alone is opposing the important gourmet bills, even though bill won't pass without a unanimous agreement. He's being so pigheaded that the people in the republic Roto are calling him ' super pigheaded Dohem' it's very difficult to have him change his attitude" Uumen said

" uh...what should I do?" Komatsu asked

As two guys in black suits came with a large cart carrying a large fish.

" T-this is..." Komatsu said looking at the fish

" it's capture level 20 it's nicknamed the princess of the deep sea the mermaituna " he said

" because of its beauty and rarity, it's said to be a mermaid-like fish the mermaituna " Komatsu said

" we the IGO development bureau manage to successfully capture one"

" famous for being a food connoisseur, the presidents favorite food is fatty tuna, so chef I would like for you to make the top quality fatty tuna, bubbly tuna of this mermaituna into a dish and get him to change his attitude" Uumen said

" they say you can only take 200 grams of bubbly tuna from each fish if I'm not mistaken it reaches its peak flavor after seven days of being caught " Komatsu said

" yes and after seven days it becomes inedible the cooking limit is seven day period, chef Komatsu the success of summit rides on your shoulders" Uumen said

" you're giving such a big responsibility to me?!" Komatsu said

" it'll be alright" Uumen said " your skill as a chef has been rising considerately I wonder if it's thanks to Toriko-chan and your friend Aiko-chan even for this job that thing will come in handy"

as Komatsu held the gourmet spicer

" it's the same thing that Coco-San told me..." Komatsu said

Flash back

" thank you so much for everything" Komatsu said

"Just wondering is your job at the restaurant going to be okay Komatsu-kun?" Coco asked " you've taken quite a long vacation, haven't you?"

"Ah...yes..sorry" Komatsu said

"You're the head chef maybe you should focus you're attention on your work there? Also the message "you shouldn't take any trips for awhile " came up in my fortune telling" Coco said

" eh?" Komatsu said

" and one more thing failure is the source of success. It will be the fuel for tomorrow something you failed at will save you " he said as Komatsu held the gourmet spicer " I'm sure that will be of help to you take care of it"

End of flash back

As Komatsu took off his chefs hat and stared at the gourmet spicer.

Meanwhile with Coco

"Komatsu-kun I hope you'll follow my advice, but..." Coco said as his mind started to wander on someone else. " Aiko-chan I hope your doing alright maybe I should visit her" as he heard girlish squeals

"Coco-sama!" A group of girls started to run after him

" Er...no I'm going to be leaving soon!" Coco said to them " I predicted when wild beast are going to appear at gourmet fortune, So..." As the girls circled around him.

" tell me my fortune!"

" I'm going on a trip as a bishokuya " he said as the girls just smiled and ignored him as they squealed " um are you listening?" As the circled around him as he tried to politely excused himself. " I have poison, it's dangerous" he added but they didn't care.

Meanwhile with sani

As sani was walking inside the IGO facilities as he used his touch to carry a large sack as he walked past a few creatures as one broke out.

" the gauchi broke out!" Sani said

As Rin was sitting on the ground not realizing that the gauchi was out.

" hey! That gauchi is heading straight for you and it looks pr'tty ag'tated!" Sani shouted

" huh?!" Rin said getting up " ENDORPHIN SMOKE!" As she released a light green smoke calming the creature to sleep. " be a good boy now"

"Say what were ya spacin' out about?" Sani ask

" I was just remembering that thing...that happened with Toriko..." Rin said as she blushed and squealed

" what's with her?" He mumbled

"You're so good at making me remember it big brother!" Rin said

" maybe il get out of here already..." Sani said

" oh is it to visit Aiko-chan?" Rin said smirking

As she mention Aiko's name in front of Sani he blushed.

" No, I plan to visit Aki later!" Sani said " I already recovered all of the Rockdrum shells to be made into perfect beauty marbles, I've got no reason to be here an'more

" ah where are you gonna go big brother?" Rin ask

" to the country of healing, where beautiful ingredients and devices are plentiful" Sani said " that fight with the bishokukai did awful damage to my cuticles no way around it, I'll have to sell this whole shell and invest it in hair treatment " ' il have to find something for Aki while I'm at it' he though as he turn to walk as a slight smile appeared thinking about the brown haired beauty.

"You sure are carefree when other people are working!" Rin said

As he lost his train of though.

" well, it wasn't like I was going to be doing work here" Sani said

"Geez, the chief and Vice President Shigematsu are just having a carefree drink too" Rin pouted

Meanwhile with chief mansam and Shigematsu

" Galala Eel shochou pickled for two years it's 65% alcohol " mansam said

As Shigematsu took a shot

" it has a peculiar taste like tiger testicles and the slight bitterness of medical plants it makes every pore in the body open and spread warmth throughout it Delicious" Shigematsu said

" but Shige-San, I know why you the Vice President of IGO came here, but the bishokukai may come, don't you think?" Mansam said

" there's a high probability of it" he said " there's a GT robot that didn't self destruct, they'll come to recover it I don't know who exactly will come though" he said

" Regardless, it'll be our job from here" mansam said

" yeah, Toriko and the others captured the jewel meat so they're more done their part " he said

As mansam took a shot.

" I've noticed about that girl" Shigematsu said " is she? her daughter the one that she mentioned?"

" yes, I've seen her abilities there's no doubt she's yuri's kid " mansam said "as far as I've heard she hasn't learned much. Her mother died too soon to tell her about the full extent of her power"

Flash back

" thank you all for letting me on your journey everyone " Aiko said as mansam motion to her as she followed.

" hey Sis is your mother yuri?" He ask

" how do you know my mother's name?" Aiko said giving him a curious glance

" by your ability tell me do you know what that's called?" Mansam ask

" no, after she died I found out about my power but I can't remember the name" Aiko said " I have a lot of abilities so I just named a few"

" Sis no doubt you'll be like yuri " he said " Reiki master yuri that was her tittle "

" Reiki? Is that what it's called?" Aiko said looking at her hands

" Reiki it said it can increase strength or used to heal others and raising or lowering the temperature by ones hands or bodies. With that reiki ability can create a large unlimited abilities" mansam explained

" Reiki master yuri... That was my mom" Aiko said

End of flashback

As the two men took another shot reminiscing about how they met yuri. As they drank in silence.

Meanwhile with Toriko and Terry

"I've got to find something delicious that even Terry will eat" Toriko said as he looked around. As Terry started to growl. " hm? Terry?" As a giant bird flew past the two as they dodged it.

Flyer duck( bird beast) Capture level 15

" A flyer duck..." Toriko said " the ferocious duck that soars in the sky. But it's meat is delicious!" As he looked at the flyer duck " I give thanks to all the ingredients in the world Itadakimasu!"

As the bird screeched as it flew up.

" watch out for its Aerial attacks Terry!" Toriko said "it's not so tough that I'll need you to help Though!" As Toriko jumped up " 3 REN KUGI PUNCH!" Giving a direct hit as the bird was easily defeated.

" now then..." Toriko said

Meanwhile with Aiko

" okay now what to eat? Cause I think hanging out with Toriko-San too much made me hungrier than I usually am" Aiko said as she continued to walk further to the plains ' speaking of him I wonder how he's doing? Is Terry doing well too? What about Coco-San and Sani-san? Are they doing well? Oh what am I thinking! I'm acting like a worried girlfriend! Wait what did I think of that? I'm just they're friend that's all! But still...ahh snap out of it Aiko!...' She started to blush a bit thinking of them As she came across a river as she smiled.

" alright fish for breakfast!" Aiko said trying to get her thoughts together.

A few minutes later she had a few stripe salmon as she carried it something stopped her.

" something smells good" she said as she decided to follow the scent as she carried her fish.

Back with Toriko

" looks tasty eh? " Toriko said looking over the flyer duck meat being roasted over the fire as he caught a familiar scent as he started to lightly smile as he closed his eyes taking in the scent. ' she's near! Hmm she's wearing the same scent orangios and plumpeach!...Aiko...'

" Oh! Hey! Toriko-San!" As he turn to look at Aiko smiling at him as he lightly blushed at Aiko as she wore A Light blue Sleeveless Shirt and a dark blue Shorts that were casual and loose as she had on a pair of sneakers as she had her hair in a ponytail as she held the striped salmon.

" since we're here let's eat together!" She smiled brightly holding the fish.

" yeah!" Toriko said happily " Terry!" As they turn to look at Terry as Terry was in a quiet shade not interested in the food. As Toriko tilted his head as he sigh " no good?"

" what's wrong?" Aiko said as she sliced up the striped salmon into sashimi.

" Terry didnt eat anything since we went after the jewel meat" Toriko said

" that's not good!" Aiko said " we need to find something for Terry to eat"

" yeah but I think it might be quick job if you can help me" Toriko said ' I want to be alone with you for a while longer Aiko...' He though hoping that she'll accept his offer.

" yeah you're right Toriko-San!" Aiko said " after all Terry is important to me too!"

As the roasted flyer duck was ready as well as the sashimi.

" I give thanks to all the ingredients in the world Itadakimasu!" The two said

As Toriko used his hand to slice a piece of the roasted meat as he ate the large portion.

" meat plain, simple taste of poultry with fat that makes it taste like high class wagyu beef. And the fat is sweet, which reminds me of Brand pig" Toriko said " Yuuum! Aiko you gotta try some!" As Toriko cut up a large piece for Aiko as she smiled taking a bite of the meat.

"~oh~ your right Toriko-San! The fat is sweet! I like it! Simple yet really tasty!" Aiko said taking another bite of the poultry as Toriko watched her as he notice a bit of the poultry's fatty juice ran down her chin as toriko looked at her as a few naughty thoughts appeared in his mind as he turn a bright shade of red as aiko looked at him curiously.

' Is he okay? Cause if he wasn't he would say something.' Aiko though as she kept eating.

' ...why am I thinking of doing those things to her?! Just watching her eat like that makes me want to...do those things to her...' As he tried to shake off those thought as he stuffed his face with the flyer duck. After Toriko ate the entire flyer duck he took the bones to fry it as Aiko poured some juice she had in a canteen.

"Normally you can't eat Bird bones but the flyer duck is one kind of bone you can eat " Toriko said as he took a bite of the fried bone as he gave one to Aiko.

"They're crunchy like potato chips" Aiko said

"Combined with a firm texture like bird cartilage" Toriko said " it's really indescribable and a chicken, bouillon and consommé like rich essence burst through the bones. Yum!" As he smiled.

' all he thinks about is food...hehe it's kinda cute' Aiko though as she giggled

" Gochisousama Deshita" the two said as toriko lied on his back as Aiko sat next to him.

" I kinda want some dessert now" toriko said

white Apple (fruit) capture level below 1

" white Apple, huh?" Toriko said

" oh I love these!" Aiko said " in a pie it's so good! Let's pick a lot of these! Toriko-San!"

" hope this works" Toriko said " take a step back Aiko " as he punched the tree making it shake as a rain of white apples fell. " Ooh, I got a lot! That was lucky!" As Aiko jumped happily as she started to pick a few.

" oh Terry! Is that a cheese rabbit?" Toriko said

" oh Terry great job!" Aiko said as she petted Terry as Terry dropped off the cheese rabbit.

"You're the one that took this thing down so you should eat it" Toriko said " not only is it needed to keep living, but it's a courtesy for taking its life "

" so go ahead Terry" Aiko said as Terry shrugged as Terry licked Aiko's cheek as the two bishokuya sigh.

' Terry won't even eat what he caught...Terry is a picky eater...I don't know what to do' Aiko though.

As they traveled to The Central Gourmet Wholesale Market.

"Come on, have your dinner table flourish with taste! Zuwaiwai crab! " as there was a big box of a giant crab inside "The bidding starts at 3million!"

" oh Toriko, Aiko " tomu said

"Eh? Bishokuya Toriko?"

" world kitchen is lively as ever huh?" Toriko said

" Toriko, I haven't gotten anything from you in a while so my wholesale business has been in trouble" tomu said " I wonder if it's because your spending too much time with your girlfriend"

As Toriko blushed as Aiko's cheeks tinted pink " how many times do I have to say it she's not my girlfriend tomu!" Toriko said " look I brought that for you, so I hope you'll cut me a break"

" Ah, flyer duck, huh?" Tomu said

" it's smaller than the one we ate, though" Toriko said " here we can even throw in some white apples although aiko had a few on the road" as aiko pouted

" hey! You know I can't resist those white apples!" Aiko said as she still pouted as Toriko ruffled her hair as he smiled.

"Toriko I'll buy this!"

" no sell it to me!"

"So what about that thing you mentioned" Toriko said as aiko tilted her head curiously " you found some good ingredient?"

"Not here lets talk tonight" tomu said " that way you can spend some more time with your girlfriend" tomu smirked

" she's not my girlfriend!" Toriko said as he slightly blushed as aiko looked at the ground as her cheeks had a slight blush as they started walking out of the wholesale market.

" Aiko...you can come too if you want to that is..." Toriko said

" yeah I've got time Toriko-San" Aiko said

At the Autumn lion bar

"Did you find something good?" Toriko ask

" yeah" tomu said "I heard the battlewolf original habitat is in gourmet world right? The reason that Terry doesn't have any appetite is most likely that there aren't any ingredients around here that suit her taste"

" I see. Terry is a battlewolf clone" Toriko said as he chewed some snacks at the bar.

" that make sense" Aiko said " memories of ingredients in the gourmet world could possibly be ingrained in her DNA"

" the gourmet world" tomu said as he took a sip of his drink "the world we live in is the human world, the continents outside that are all part of what is called Gourmet world, an uncivilized land some call it a treasure trove of undiscovered ingredients. It's beyond dangerous no person can set foot on it"

"I've got no choice but to go in personally to Gourmet world" Toriko said " it's for Terry's sake"

"That may not be necessary " tomu said

" what?" Toriko said

" Huh?" Aiko said

" it's happened before A rare shipment of ingredients from Gourmet world into world kitchen " tomu said as tomu explained to them that it might be a possibility that Terry might eat the BBcorn as tomu told them the location of the BBcorn was in Wuu jungle on the Wul continent.

" it's a jungle Where carnivorous plants that even eat ferocious beast live" Aiko said " a nether world of plants. Plant hell"

" hell plant Eh?" Toriko chuckled a bit " sounds good Wuu jungle..."

" Toriko-San I'm coming with you!" Aiko said " I wanna do everything I can to help Terry too!"

As tomu looked at the two ' I guess I figured out why Toriko likes her' he though as he looked at his friend ruffling Aiko's hair as she smiled at him. ' I just wonder when is he ever going to tell her?'

Meanwhile with komatsu

The next two days. As komatsu was looking at a few ingredients at a stall.

" well if it isn't komatsu?!" Tomu said as komatsu looked up " what's up? you've got such a glum look on your face"

" Tomu-San!" Komatsu said

As komatsu explained his situation to tomu.

" a sauce to go with Bubbly tuna...," tomu said

" yes I made lots of different kinds to try out but...the sauce lost to the taste to the Bubbly tuna even though the fatty tuna hasn't reached its peak to the taste yet I'm missing a certain flavor to the sauce I need to find that ingredient for the sauce in five days"

As Tina walked pass as she glanced as she was surprised.

" Komatsu-kun!" Tina exclaimed as she grabbed komatsu's shoulders " just who I need!"

" T-Tina-San?!" Komatsu said surprised

"Hey where's Toriko?" Tina said

" I...uh...haven't seen Toriko-San lately...oh...now that I remember I haven't seen Ai-chan either " Komatsu said

" I though if I came here I'd be able to meet Toriko and get a gourmet scoop!" Tina said shaking komatsu's shoulders " but Toriko isn't anywhere! Where'd he go?!"

"I-I don't know!" Komatsu said

"If you're looking for Toriko and that girl you mentioned they went on a trip " tomu said " two days ago to Wuu jungle "

" that's ridiculously far away!" Tina said

" Ah that's it!" Komatsu said as he realized something " I remember hearing something in Wuu jungle in the Wul continent there's a fruit that can be used as an ingredient to make a delicious sauce. The wul star sauce fruit if I had that I can make a delicious sauce for the Bubbly tuna that even president Dohem will approve of!"

" Bubbly tuna? Dohem?" Tina said " I smell it a mountain sized serving of a scoop!"

" but it's too dangerous for you two to go to Wul jungle alone" tomu said

" If we go in an enormous mountain sized serving of speed we might be able to meet up with Toriko and Aiko-chan!" Tina said

" right!" Komatsu said

As komatsu made a call as Johannes picked Tina and komatsu in a helicopter as they started to make a long journey to Wuu jungle.

Meanwhile with Toriko, Terry and Aiko

As a jet took them to the jungle.

" I'll bet you're looking forward to that BBcorn!" Toriko said as Terry barked happily

" ohh I can't wait! This is going to be great!" Aiko said smiling as she petted Terry as Terry gave her a few kisses as Toriko looked at them.

' Terry is lucky getting a lot of attention from Aiko ' he though as he heard Aiko giggling

" Terry that tickles! Terry don't lick me there that tickles! " Aiko as she giggled as Toriko turn a bright shade of red

' yep Terry is really lucky' he though
