Chapter 44
As a dawn of the new morning came as toriko was on the table as he groan from the pain as the others stared at him.
" Toriko!" Rin said
' please pull through toriko-kun' Aiko though as she wiped the sweat from his forehead ' his hair grew back to normal...it looks better like that...he's always...Wait! There's no time to think that!'
As Aiko noticed something from toriko as he sniffed something as his eyes shot up as he got up as his face was full of sweat.
" what the?" Yosaku said
" Toriko-kun" Aiko said as he looked at her.
" Toriko?" Rin said
as he turn a bit as he looked at that he was surprised at his newly left arm in its place.
" I'm healed!" Toriko exclaimed as he moved his new arm.
" Toriko! I'm so glad!" Rin said as she ran to Toriko.
" Rin!" He exclaimed
' just a minute ago he was on the verge of death' Teppei though
" I was starting to think he was done " Yosaku said " those cells activated really damn fast, the rule accepted notion it would take twenty years. You brilliantly crushed it to pieces, toriko! "
" this is great Aiko!" Toriko said happily as he hugged her tightly ' I've been wanting to hug you like this Aiko...' He though
" I'm glad that you're okay toriko-kun!" Aiko said happily
as they didn't notice a jealous sani watching them as toriko looked up a bit as he walked slowly.
" H-Hey where are you going?" Teppei said
" it's calling me" Toriko said as toriko wiped his mouth As he was drooling a lot. " delicious food is calling me "
As they heard the news that komatsu finished the soup as they all except sani,Yosaku went to komatsu's restaurant to eat the soup but they had to stop someplace to dress properly.
" Aiko are you almost done?" Toriko said as he was waiting in the other room with Coco,Rin,teppei and setsuno
" just wait a minute! Toriko-kun! Be patient like Coco-kun!" Aiko exclaimed through the door as the two heavenly kings heard rustling of fabric " unlike you! Some people take longer to get ready! "
" just let Aiko-chan get dressed with ease toriko" Coco said
" just like Coco said be patient toriko besides I think you both will like it" setsuno said
' what does she mean by that?' Teppei though as he wore a black sweater and a green formal dinner jacket.
After a few minutes
" I'm coming out now!" Aiko said
As they heard the door open as the two heavenly kings couldn't believe what they saw as they blushed at her.
' I knew helping Aiko-chan pick that dress will make those men surprised ' setsuno though
' Aw Aiko looks so nice!' Rin though ' but I still won't let her have Toriko!'
As Aiko slightly blushed as the two men literally had they're jaws a hanging out as Aiko wore a Blue Strapless Dress with a Corset Top the length of the dress was long and flowing as she wore white flats her hair was simple in a loose French braid as it was swept over her shoulder she hardly ever wear makeup but she just decided on a little bit of eyeliner and a touch of lipgloss as she blushed slightly at the two men's reaction towards her evening look. As she saw toriko wearing a white suit as Coco wore blue pants and a black sweater and a white formal dinner jacket.
" Y-You guys A-Are quiet" Aiko said as she slightly blushed " D-Does it look bad?"
The two men couldn't believe she just said that to them they couldn't get the words out as they saw her until one of them did.
" You look so beautiful Aiko-chan" Coco complemented as Aiko smiled brightly as she slightly blushed.
" that's really sweet thanks Coco-kun" she whispered as Coco smiled at her.
' Come on say something to her! Just say something Damn it! I'm just not good at saying these things!' Toriko though as he blushed red as he tries to think of what to say to Aiko as she stared at him with those brown eyes that he just gets lost in them.
" say something about the dress toriko " setsuno urged him
" it's...blue" Toriko bluntly said as he was still blushing
" complement her!" setsuno exclaimed which made toriko more nervous as his heart was beating fast. As Aiko slightly blushed as well.
" your very pretty Aiko " Toriko said nervously as he slightly blushed as Aiko slightly blushed
" thanks Toriko-kun" Aiko whispered " let's go see komatsu"
As the group left to go to the hotel gourmet to see their friend and try the long awaited soup. As they went inside it was full of reporters as they saw komatsu.
" komatsu!" Toriko said
" Toriko-San! Coco-San! Ai-chan!" Komatsu said
" we're here to eat the century soup!" Toriko said
" So your arms all better now?" Komatsu said " I'm so glad!"
As the swarm of reporters went over to them. As they were making too much noise.
" it's damn noisy in here. Hey!" Match said
As the reporters stopped and immediately cleared out of they're way. As toriko laughed at this.
" Sorry to keep you waiting komatsu " Toriko said
" it took a while but everyone is fine now" Aiko said
" I'm the one who was late" komatsu said "but I finally finished it the century soup!"
" yeah I realized that" Toriko said
" toriko's Gourmet cells reacted to the completion of the soup" Teppei said " bringing about an astounding recovery, it was a show of ferocious life energy "
" or maybe it could just be some decent gluttony " Aiko said to Teppei
"But you finished it did you?" Takimaru said
"Ah Takimaru-San how is Aimaru-San doing since you got that medicine?" Aiko asked
" he was unwilling to take the medicine no matter what" Takimaru said as he wore a formal purple suit " but it's okay I'll make sure he takes it"
" did you really complete it?" Match asked " I ain't believing it until I've eaten it"
" match-San please take some back for the children in your city" komatsu said
"You have my gratitude komatsu " Teppei said " you used your cooking to revive an ingredient that I couldn't "
" well it was because I was able to drink the last drop of the soup" komatsu said " that I was able to reproduce the century soup, the completion of the soup is thanks to teppei-San, no thanks to everyone and the ingredients too"
" Aww komatsu!" Aiko said as she hugged him tightly
" I finally understood what you said setsuno-San " komatsu said
" really so the ingredients told you lots of things, did they?" Setsuno said " you must be glad they told you"
"C'mon lets get to the Actual soup!" Toriko said
" there's a heaping helping of agreement from me!" Tina said as she was dressed in a pretty purplish pink dress " because I'll be a heaping helping of a scoop!"
" where's sani-San?" Komatsu asked
" he said he had to do something and he stayed behind at life" Rin said
" he about we bring him some later?" Komatsu asked
" I think that'd be nice komatsu" Aiko said
As they went inside the elevator but apparently with this many people it got uncomfortable for a few people. As Aiko got swished between Coco and the wall as the two tried to move as the two got close together by it as Aiko tries to look away as Coco slightly blushed being too close to Aiko.
' I can tell she's a bit nervous. I am too being this close to her. it feels nice...' Coco though as he smiled on the inside.
' Coco-kun is too close to me! I need to calm down!...why do I feel my face heating up? Am I blushing?! Oh this is so embarrassing!' Aiko though as she felt her cheeks warm. ' Coco-kun looks handsome tonight...Toriko-kun looks nice too...Aw Aiko what is wrong with you?! Control yourself they're your friends!' As she mentally screamed as she looked away from Coco.
' she's cute when she's like this.' Coco though as he looked at her as he had a serious look on his face.
" Aiko-chan..." Coco said
" what is it Coco-kun?" Aiko said
" be careful on your trip Aiko-chan" Coco whispered to her as she looked at him. " make sure you keep your first aid kit with you"
" Oh...thanks For your concern Coco-kun" Aiko said As she smiled brightly
As the elevator stopped as they group got inside the restaurant as they took their seats as Aiko sat between Coco and Toriko.
" now then everyone " Komatsu said " please enjoy the century soup!"
" I give thanks to all the ingredients in this world..." Toriko said
" itadakimasu!" They all said as they uncovered the lid on the dish. As a pretty Aurora appeared
" A-Amazing!" Match said
" the Aurora appeared!"
" this is the real! "
" century soup!"
' it's so pretty! I really like how it looks!' Aiko though
"it's perfectly transparent, like there's nothing inside at all, but the soup is definitely there"Coco said as he looked at the soup " This warm how incredibly gentle"
" the warmth comes from being boiled for tens of hours" teppei said
" And being stored at a moderate temperature " match said
" What an indescribably good smell" Aiko said
" hundreds of ingredients are playing in harmony of a rich scent" takimaru said
" this soup makes an elegant sound" setsuno said " it has a refreshing and pleasant tone that carries the weight of ancient times. You can immerse yourself in the sound and anticipate your eyes be satisfied with the palm of your hands and stuff yourself with the smell"
" Being able to savor it without tasting it its amazing " Aiko said as she smelled the bowl.
As Toriko took a spoonful of soup
' what? I bit it?! The taste is too rich! For a moment I though I was biting into a hamburger steak! It feels like layers of deliciousness that have accumulated through ancient times are gradually coming apart and spreading in my mouth. Primitive taste that have been sleeping up until now are waking up little by little. ' Toriko though as he swallowed ' it's ancient taste, yet fresh What a satisfying feeling...So this is the century soup?'
" yum!" Toriko said
' I love the Aurora! The sound that it makes! The taste it's everything I could've imagine! It's better! I never though the century soup was this delicious!' Aiko though as she took another spoonful of soup.
As Aiko noticed that a few were making goofy grins as she put her head down covering her face as Coco did the same.
" Everybody's making bawdy faces!" Komatsu exclaimed
" what's with this face?" Match said
"You're doing it too match-San"
"You're making a pretty entertaining face, aren't you?"setsuno said
" I'm embarrassed " Coco said as he kept himself covered
" Me too Coco-kun I'm embarrassed too" Aiko said
" I'll give an actual tasting report too!" Tina said as she had her camera recording everything as she tasted the soup as she had a goofy grin as well. " delicious!"
" Komatsu! Is it okay if I put this in to my full course?" Toriko said
" the soup that someone like me made?"Komatsu said as he was starting to get teary eyed.
" what are you crying? I'm the one asking Komatsu" Toriko said
" it'd be an honor" Komatsu said
" oh Komatsu don't cry have some soup!" Aiko said as she still had her head down she was too embarrassed to look up afraid that she might still have that goofy grin.
" yeah Komatsu while you're crying, you're grinning!" Rin said
" I smile,I did" Tina said
"Wall penguin? I though it was you" setsuno said " the key to complete the soup"
" how do you know that?" Komatsu asked as he was surprised
" when you've been a chef as long as I have, you know" setsuno said " when an ingredient is meeting you half way, at least"
" part of this little one was the final component for the soup" Komatsu said as he petted the baby wall penguin
" really Komatsu?" Aiko asked as her face was now normal.
" So, are you going to apply for a patent your soup?" Setsuno asked
" special form of cooking..." Teppei said " can have special recipe rights recognized for them"
" no I don't think I will. " Komatsu said " if I get a patent I'll have to reveal the recipe to the public. The wall penguin is an endangered species so I'd be worried if they're over hunted. And also it's an item in toriko's San full course. I'll protect it dearly!"
"That's just like you Komatsu-kun" Coco said
" yeah he's always like that it's a good thing" Aiko said
" All right! I can gather all of the components anytime, so leave that to me Komatsu" Toriko said " with the BBcorn as an hors' d'oeuvres to get the tension up and stomach exciting! It will suddenly answer with the century soup. Thank you Komatsu "
" Toriko-San..." Komatsu said
" okay, here's to the soup!" Toriko exclaimed
" Cheers!" Everyone said as they raised their spoons up as they all enjoyed the soup. After they were done. Match brought the soup to the kids in his town. Takimaru managed to give the medicine to Aimaru.
The next morning Toriko,Komatsu and Aiko went to life so that sani and Yosaku could try the soup as well but sani refused since he saw the effects of eating the soup cause as he saw the goofy grins on Toriko and komatsu's faces Aiko didn't eat the soup at that moment she didn't want to make that embarrassing face.
