Éclair watched as the gargantuan sushi was finally going to fall. Her heart skipped a beat as she didn't know which way she'd have to run when it did fall. Monchy looked over at the two, "When it falls, it'll guide you into the direction you're looking for." The girl smiled largely, "I can't believe it's finally done still. It seemed like it took us so long to get the components, and now we can move on from this already." The Ehou Maki was very tricky with its direction. Just when it seemed to lean one way, it went the other. After waiting a while, it seemed the destination was finally reached. The Ehou Maki came falling down, and Éclair ran way out its line of destruction. The woman panted, "It fell! It actually fell!" Her attention turned to the sushi chef himself, "Thank you Monchy. I am honestly grateful." The man nodded, "Hey, aren't you the chef that made the Century Soup?" Her eyes amplified, "Whoa, that news reached way out here? Sometimes I forget that people know who I am. But yes, I did." The man smiled, "Maybe someday I can point you in the direction of your future. ~Now go ya morons. Make sure you eat that sushi until you reach the end. See you later."

Toriko reached his hand out, "Come on Éclair, let's dig in." He helped the girl into the ring, and she looked up at the man. "Hey, Toriko." She wrapped her arms around the man's waist, "Thank you. I know I don't say it enough, but without you, I'd still be working as a timid chef afraid to explore my full potential and see the world. I am very grateful to eat this sushi alongside you and get lost in a forest somewhere." The man pinched her cheeks, "Aww, you're getting sentimental! Say more nice things!" The girl nodded, "Okay. I give thanks for the vast bounty this world provides. Now let's eat." The two didn't hold back for a second and immediately dug in. With the size of the Ehou Maki, it would take them a while to finish it all. Through vast planes and deserts, to city streets, they ate the Ehou Maki. It was a long journey, but a very delicious one, and by no means was it near over yet. Éclair was excited to enjoy some of the components that they had caught together and even the ones that Toriko just caught on his own. The girl looked over at her partner, "I'm not entirely sure how, but I'm not full yet. I'm very close though." The bluenette smiled, "It's like you said, your appetite has grown from being around me." He pointed forward, "Look, it's our destination. The Lost Forest." Éclair peeked past the sushi, "So many trees. I'm not sure if we'll even make it out of this place. No turning back now I suppose."

Just as she was going to take a bite out of the Madam Fish, she retracted. "Hey Toriko, tell me again why we're going to get completely lost in a sea of trees again." The man nodded, "It's called the Bubble Fruit. It's about as delicate as a bubble, hence the name." The girl raised an eyebrow, "Delicate like a bubble? That's frightening." They continued to eat until they noticed that what they were eating was completely gone. The girl looked around, "Holy crap Toriko! There's a huge gaping hole in the middle of the forest! Is this really where the sushi ends. That's hard to believe." The man nodded, "That is strange. I don't know how that's even possible." As they were looking around to see where the food could have possibly went, they heard someone's footsteps walking in the grass. The two turned around and saw a short stubby boy carrying some of the components from the sushi. Éclair yelled, "Hey! You stole our sushi!" The boy's eyes amplified, "Uh oh." Just like that he was gone into the trees. Toriko, without hesitation ran after the thief and Éclair followed behind. The man ran through a large bush and suddenly stopped. The blond girl looked around, "What? We lost him?" The blue haired man sniffed the air, "That's weird. I can smell him and the food, but they aren't here." The man angrily walked through another bush, "I'm gonna find that bastard." The girl followed the man and sighed, "Geez, now I think we're completely lost." Toriko shook his head, "Not exactly. Look."

Before them was the legendary 10 star restaurant. Éclair put a hand over her mouth, "No way. It's the Disappearing Cuisine!" The man ran toward the traditional restaurant. "Come on Éclair, let's go eat!" She nodded, "I'm excited to eat here and all, but we just had 3 lifetimes worth of sushi Toriko." They ran up the small steps and the man opened the door, "Hello there!" "Uh, hey." Just as the girl put her hand up to wave, the restaurant was gone. She looked up at her partner, "Okay, either this place disappeared, or we both hallucinated." The man shook his head, "No way! It was here! What happened!?" As they were questioning everything that just came about, they heard a strange voice instruct them."

Put your hands together and bow.

The girl wasn't even going to ask Toriko if he heard the voice. She already thought she was going crazy from the vanished restaurant. Just as the voice said, she put her hands together and bowed before the establishment. As she rose up, she noticed Toriko did the same. She looked at the man, "You heard it too?" He nodded, "Yes. Should we try this again?" She nodded and opened the sliding door. Unlike before, they weren't standing outside this time. They were able to see the dimly lit room and everything in it. The two took off their boots and a masked woman knelt before them. "Welcome to our humble restaurant. I am the head chef, Chiru." Éclair pointed at the woman, "Oh my, oh my, oh my ~Huh? Do you~ do you know who you are? I mean of course you know who you are. You're you. There's one of you and you're the only one. One of a kind. You've been you since you were born, so that was a dumb question. I just mean~ hi." The blond girl's rosy cheeks filled with an embarrassing red. Toriko smiled, "You always get star struck." She bit her bottom lip, "How can't I be? I stand before the 15th highest ranked chef in the world. ~My knees feel weak." Chiru nodded, "Please, follow me and I will show you to your dining area."

Chiru walked with the two upstairs in the restaurant. Éclair frowned, "Excuse me Chiru, I have a question. Am I crazy or did this place actually disappear when we first got here?" "It disappeared. The wood of this place is made from the Invisible Tree of the Gourmet World. If someone is being threatening or intimidating, the tree will disappear as it does for predators." Éclair tugged the bluenette's shirt, "Why ya gotta be so reckless huh?" "What? It wasn't me!" The girl stuck her tongue out, "Well I guess the point is that we're here now." Chiru nodded, "Yes, but I must say more than getting in, I am impressed that you found this place." The man smiled, "Well I just followed my nose and went with the scent that weird guy was giving off." "Weird guy?" As Toriko was going to explain, the same boy ran over to the head chef. "Chiru! That man is eating way too much! I don't know what to do!" Éclair pointed, "Hey! Speak of the weird guy. He totally took the components of our Ehou Maki!" The taller woman looked at the boy, "You need to apologize." He shook his head, "They were just lying there in pieces. It's not like it had their names on it." Toriko waved it off, "Weird, so you weren't the one who nabbed the Ehou Maki? I guess things worked out anyway. You know, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been lead here in the first place. Though it did lead us off the course of the Bubble Fruits." The blond girl folded her arms, "I guess." Chiru looked back at the man, "Bubble Fruits? Those can be located at the Shokurin Temple if you are truly interested. As embarrassing as it is for me to say, I have lost my touch with the fruit. I used to eat them actually. ~Ah here we are."

They entered a room and Chiru bowed, "Please take a seat and I'll go get your food." Chirin pointed, "It's~ That customer. He's eating so much!" The head chef shook her head, "Don't be rude. He is a customer." Éclair and Toriko took their seats, and the girl started. "Who would have thought we'd be eating here." Her attention turned to the man loudly eating. "Here I thought no one could eat worse than you Toriko. I sit corrected." In very little time, Chiru was back with one of the first dishes. It was Kelp Sake. Toriko smiled, "I give thanks for this worlds bounty. Now let's eat." As he put the drink to his lips, it disappeared all together. The woman pointed, "It is a very sensitive drink. You must not cause any tension to the surface or it will evaporate. Éclair grinned, "Oh, I have this." She put her hand on the drink and before she could even move it, it was gone. Her eyes glared into the empty cup, "What!? I was so delicate I bet my fingerprints aren't even on this thing! There is no way that's possible!" "There are more dishes if you'd like to try." Everything they tried from then on was hit and miss. Some of them they were able to taste, and others just rotted straight to the core. After an afternoon of gambling with ingredients, Éclair put her hands over her face, "I just! I'm so angry! I didn't get to eat at all. I mean, I wasn't hungry, but I still wanted to eat dammit!" Her partner pouted, "I know! Ughhh! I feel so unsatisfied. Now I know why this place is located in the sea of trees."

Her attention turned back to the man eating vigorously. He put his bowl down and spoke, "You know, there was a time when only these delicate ingredients existed. Either you learned the etiquette or starved. In such a time, you two would not have survived. Tommy and Ella." The girl looked around, "W-who?" He looked over at Chiru, "Your skills as a chef are very great. Nice work." "Thank you master Chin." Toriko raised an eyebrow, "Chin?" She nodded, "That is Chin Chinchin. He is a human national treasure, and master at the Shokurin Temple." The blond girl smiled, "Wow, I had no idea." The man nodded, "Yes, I am Chin. Nice to meet you Toshio and Etsuko." The bluenette nodded, "Same, but our names are Toriko and Éclair." The small man chuckled, "I heard about you from the IGO president Ryuuchichi." "You heard from my old man? His name is actually Ichiryuu though." Chiru looked at Éclair, "You know, when I was young, I learned food etiquette from him at the Shokurin Temple." The girl smiled, "No way! A top chef such as yourself actually learned from him. Teach me next! If I ever want to be even a fraction as good as Chiru, I probably should learn this etiquette." The bluenette nodded, "Let's do it. Then we can get information about the ingredient and it'll be smooth sailing from here." Chin turned around, "That's what you think? Follow me Tsukamoto and Eri."

They stood back at the entrance of the Disappearing Cuisine, and Chiru bowed. "Toriko, Éclair, please stop by here again on your way back. By the time you leave the temple you'll be able to enjoy the entire full course." The blond girl nodded, "Yes ma'am. I would love to enjoy everything this wonderful place has to offer. Thank you for your hospitality." As they were getting ready to walk off, Chin looked back at the head chef. "Chiro, has Granny Chiyo returned yet?" The woman shook her head, "It's Chiru, and no. The first generation still has yet to return." "I see. Come on boys, let's go." Éclair sighed forcefully, "You know what, I think I'm done correcting people about my gender. I'm just done." The three walked along and Éclair's eyes wandered. "So, the great Granny Chiyo cooked here? She's one of the top 5 chef's in the world." The man nodded, "Yes, she was the first generation head chef at the Disappearing Cuisine. She has since disappeared and not returned." The woman sighed, "I heard about chef's disappearing. Not that anyone I specifically care about possibly got captured, but it sounds like it's linked." Chin shook his head, "No, that's not what happened to her. She was to powerful to get kidnapped. She actually used to be my combo partner."

The woman looked in awe at the man, "Whoa! I can't believe it!' The man nodded, "Anyway Tony and Elaine, you may want to watch your step." The blond girl looked at her partner, "I think that's the best we're gonna get out of him when it comes to our names." Her eyes looked back down and saw that she was standing in the middle of a hole. Only it wasn't so much in the hole as they were on top. The girl flinched, "What the hell happened to the ground!?" Chin turned around and looked at the two, "The plants in this forest are the same as the Disappearing Cuisine. People as sloppy as you are couldn't possibly hope to see. After all, it was you that ate a giant sushi in the middle of the forest." Toriko pointed, "It was you that took the Ehou Maki?" "Yes, and it was actually quite delicious." Éclair rubbed her chin, "I have a theory. Remember when we first got to the end of the Ehou Maki and there was a giant hole in the forest? I'm starting to think there wasn't actually a hole there at all. I think we couldn't see it because of our~ etiquette." Chin smirked, "Why don't you test that theory out? Look at your surroundings with great appreciation."

The girl looked at Toriko, "Remember, hands together and bow." She did as spoken and gave great praise to her surroundings. When she opened her eyes, she saw the ground beneath her was grass, and before her was the legendary Shokurin Temple. The girl gasped, "No way! No freaking way!" Chin bowed, "Yes, and it is. Don't forget to keep giving thanks. Tomomichi and Eimi" Her hands began to physically get shaky. She was so appreciative to even see such a historic place...or so she thought. As soon as she and Toriko set foot on the stairs, the temple was prepared to attack. Spikes and boulders came flying at the two before they could even get anywhere." Éclair screamed as she ran away from the death trap, "Tell the security that we're not a threat! We're guests! We're guests!" Chin shook his head, "You may think you aren't a threat, but your poor etiquette says otherwise. This building isn't just shy. It won't hesitate to attack those who are discourteous." The girl sighed, "Gee, I knew I was a bit rough around the edges, but I didn't think I was bad enough to have a whole damn temple try to kill me!"

Before the conversation could continue, a man ran out literally on fire. Behind him was a massive blaze consuming the entire temple. Éclair looked at Toriko, "What do we do!?" The man raised his fist, "Spiked Punch!" The attack did its job and blew out the flames, but only for a moment. Chin looked at the inferno in front of him, "I suppose I should do something." Éclair nodded, "Uh, ya think!?" He opened his wingspan, "Spoon!" His technique scooped up the flames until it was just a tiny fire in his hand. He closed his fist and the disaster was averted. The blond girl blinked, "Whoa, and to think how panicky I was just 2 seconds ago. That was amazing Chin!" She reached out her arm, "I wish I could do that spoon thing!" She mimicked the man's movements. "If only." Toriko ruffled the girl's hair, "You don't need Gourmet Cells. You're perfectly fine." She batted her eyes sarcastically, "Yeah, but am I perfect AND fine?" Before the man could answer, a spike came flying at the girl. "Fork Shield." She lowered her eyes, "I guess that's a no. Give me a break temple!" A break she wished for, but a break she would not get. The boulders and spikes still continued to try and kill the two off. They followed Chin as they were also running and dodging for their lives.

Chin turned to the two, "This far into the temple and you are still this ill mannered?" The girl looked at her partner, "Maybe we should try bowing or something? Hands together again." The two did as such and things actually seemed to calm down a bit. They walked until Chin stopped again overlooking a ledge. "Don't stop appreciating you two." The girl rubbed her head, "Sir, I couldn't appreciate any harder. Trust me when I say I am very thankful to not have boulders and spikes flying at me." The man pointed, "Take a look." The two took a glance down and saw all the people learning food etiquette. Toriko watched, "So these are people who have come here to learn and master food honor?" Chin nodded, "Yes, every year we get around 100,000 people to come here and learn. They are both children and adults alike. Although people do come from all over the world to learn, do not be fooled. These people here are criminals being rehabilitated from places such as Honey Prison."

"It's good to see you're back master. So these must be the two trying to get the ingredient Ichiryuu was talking about?" A man with dark hair walked up and Chin bowed, "Yes, they are Tin and Emil." Éclair sighed loudly, "Actually our names are Toriko and Éclair." Chin continued, "This is the assistant master at the temple, Shwartz. He will teach you everything to know about Food Honor." "Actually, my name is Shuu." "Sho, please guide them to the main temple." The man nodded, "It's Shuu, and yes. ~Toriko, Éclair, I may lack power but I hope we can work together." Toriko shrugged, "If it's okay, I'd like to work with the master directly." Éclair punched the man's arm lightly, "Toriko! You are so rude!" "What? He just said that he's lacking power." Shuu raised his eyebrows, "So you don't think I can train you huh? Listen, the training that he gives is quite rigorous. Think back to the Mors Mountain. That giant mass that came down on you guys at the waterfall, it was something master had excavated earlier." Éclair took a step back from the man, "Who the hell excavates an entire mountain? Huh? Who? And why would you let that fall on us!? What if we died!?" "You didn't die. Besides it was a request from the president to train you." The girl pointed, "I just~ I think it's better if we get trained by Shuu!" Toriko nodded, "Uh huh!" Chin continued, "Very well. Do your best. When you have mastered Food Honor, I will be handing down secrets of food to you both."
