The partners were back on the grind and Dodurian stench free. Toriko smiled, "It's a good thing that eating the Dodurian Bomb itself actually gets rid of the scent." The girl nodded, "I know, because I didn't have any other ideas on how to get rid of it either." Toriko pet his partner Terry, "Even you didn't want to be near me. I missed you Ter. I thought I'd never feel this soft fur again." The girl stretched her arms out in Terry's fur, "Hey, I'm starting to hate that Monchy guy. He sounds like a moron. Seriously, how many more ingredients do we have to get?" Toriko smiled, "We need the last component, nori." "Nori? Wow, how could we miss an ingredient so crucial ~for sushi anyway? Maybe he's not a moron. Where are we headed?" The man pointed, "Those hills." Terry jumped down and landed in an open plane of grass. The brunette inhaled, "Ahh, this air brings me back." The girl jumped down from Terry, "Glad you're enjoying the air. Now can we get something that I can physically eat?"

Before the man could respond, a flurry of arrows came their way. "Fork Shield!" The bluenette blocked the arrows and watched on to see who attacked them. The girl stood behind the man and grabbed his shirt, "What was that? Toriko, why would people attack us! We just got hereeeee!" The two looked on and watched as men walked forward on their horses. The girl squinted, "Who is that?" Next came a more familiar face and Éclair smiled. "Hey! Takimaru! I can't believe it's you! Still handsome as ever. ~Uh, what was with that attack though? Ya gave me a heart attack!" Toriko smiled, "Let me guess, an order from your leader?" The man nodded, "Well~" The main man himself made his appearance. Toriko waved, "Hey Ai! I knew it was you, you sickly bastard. Good to see you again." The man smiled, "You too Toriko."

The group walked along, and Éclair fell behind with the other Gourmet Knights. "So you guys live in this place? Wow, it seems like the complete and total opposite of where I come from. Here there's not a building in sight, but where I'm from, you'd have to go on quite a hunt to find a tree growing from the ground. It's nice here; I can see why you like it. Not for me, but I can understand." Takimaru nodded, "It's not just the location, we abide by a pretty strict doctrine too." Toriko stopped his conversation and looked back at the men. "I mean, you guys are tough and all, but you're all bones." He began to hit Yukimaru on the back playfully. Aimaru walked over, "Hey, stop! We have a serious doctrine that we follow for a reason! You need to go on a diet, how about that?" The man shook his head, "No, I don't wanna!" Takimaru frowned, "I've never seen Aimaru like this. He's usually so reserved." Éclair shrugged, "Can't say Toriko is reserved or anything, but he's definitely not one to just argue. I usually have that covered." Takimaru looked back at the girl, "Hey, so I must ask, why have you guys traveled all this way?" "Um, we're looking for nori. Of course Toriko was really vague with information." The young man smiled, "Ah, you must mean the Eco Nori. It's in a place called Ecoland, and you get it from one of the turtles. That place is considered a 'simple diet zone' because of the foods that are produced and eaten there. I can lead you guys there tomorrow if you'd like." Toriko came behind the man, "Oh that's great. You made things very simple, thanks Takimaru." Aimaru yelled at the man, "Hey, I'm not done arguing with you dammit!"

Nightfall came, and they were settled in for the night. As Takimaru was leading the girl to her tent, they overheard Toriko and Aimaru continuing to go at it. The young man shook his head, "This is so unusual for him. I have seriously never seen him this way." The blond girl rolled her eyes, "It's probably Toriko's fault. Let's get some sleep. ~Hey, you're not gonna sleep in the same tent with me are you?" He shook his head, "No, you can have your privacy." The girl smiled, "Wow, it's been a while since I've been around a man that will let me undress in peace. Thanks Takimaru. I'll see you in the morning."

The next day finally came, and they were to get the Eco Nori. Éclair looked around, "This Ecoland place is nice, but I don't think I could ever live here. I don't know how to live off the land." Takimaru nodded, "Yeah, a place like this forces you to live directly off the land. If you aren't already used to it, it could be pretty tough." The girl smiled as she looked around at her surroundings. Without warning, she heard a flurry of bombs nearby. "Stay away from my onigiri idiot rabbits!" The long grey haired man pointed at the girl, "What are you looking at! Are you an idiot!?" The girl frowned, "Who are you calling an idiot you cretin!" Takimaru smiled, "Hey Mayor Nonchy. It's been a while. I have a favor to ask." Éclair pouted, "And of course this abrasive man would be the one we need to talk to. ~Great."

The four sat in the mayor's house around a modest setting of food. Toriko started, "Éclair, this is Nonchy. He's Monchy's twin and the mayor of Ecoland. When you meet Monchy, you'll be surprised by how alike they are." The man shook his head, "Don't be an idiot, we're not alike. And we're not twins, we're quintuplets." The girl looked around the house, "You know, now that I look around, I think I take back what I said about living here. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is all 'natural electricity' if you will, right?" The man nodded, "Yes, and it's all because of our power source. Conveniently, it's the ingredient you're looking for. The Solar Turtle. Come outside and I'll show you." They made their way to the outside of the house, and saw the large turtle itself. The girl gasped, "Wow, so this thing powers up the entire house. Pretty cool." Nonchy nodded, "Yeah, each of the houses has an outlet that plugs into the tail. When the battery is low, a thin sheet peels off of their shells." He ripped it off, " The Eco Nori. ~I won't give this to you for free though. The weather can get really tough, and for times like that, I need this turtle to be charged. Charge it by hand, and I'll give you what you need."

Toriko started cranking up the power on the turtle and Éclair watched the intense spin work. A bright light began to shine from the turtle's charged shell, and the animal itself seemed to enjoy the energy. The girl smiled, "You did it Toriko! Good job!" The man was fatigued as more of the townspeople ran over. "Hey, charge my turtle too!" The blond girl looked at her partner, "Hey, if you charge their turtles, we can make them pay with the Eco Nori." The man nodded, "Fine, let's do it." The pile of nori stacked up more and more with each turtle. Soon the entire village was getting brighter and brighter. The man worked all night until sunrise. The girl smiled, "I'm proud of you Toriko. Think that Monchy dude is gonna make us the wonderful Ehou Maki finally?" The man nodded, "No doubt about it. Let's get this to him so we can get our sushi!" Nonchy walked over, "See you two later. Hey, tell that idiot Monchy I said 'you're an idiot' for me." The man nodded, "Will do."

~At last, all of the components were finally gathered. Éclair smiled, "So you're Monchy huh? Your bother Nonchy said you're an idiot." The man pointed at her, "Don't be a moron and listen to him. ~You know, you guys sure did get a moronic amount of food." The girl folded her arms, "Well we got moronic instructions, so there you go. You gonna make us some sushi?" The man looked up at the large stack of ingredients, "Looks like I can do it, so get ready morons." The girl turned around as she saw a crowd of men running toward them. She scratched her face, "Uh, is that a cutting board ring? You're gonna cook on that Monchy?" The man stretched out before he jumped into the ring, "Of course I am. Ring the bell Toriko." The bell was rung and the man started. She watched as the man literally wrestled the components. Even having seen the whole thing, she couldn't explain the way it was made. He had a unique style that couldn't be replicated, even if one tried. She was once again reminded of the amazing things she had seen with Toriko, and this definitely made the list. Finally, after waiting and waiting, it was done. The girl blocked the sun from her eyes, "Wow, the sushi is so high. I can't even see the top. It's beyond the clouds at this point." Toriko nodded, "Yeah, it's really tall. I'm just happy we can finally head into the Lost Forest now. We can finally get this training ingredient."
