Toriko: Namu's Buffet.
Chapter 7: "Onward! To Regal Plateau!"
Namu and Tsubaki were sitting at a large table with lots of food, many of which had high alcohol contents.
"Does everything in your Full Course have alcohol in it, Mansam?" Tsubaki asked.
"Sure does! And thank you for calling me handsome." Mansam grinned.
"I didn't say that, ya moron!" Tsubaki barked.
"The geezer's a boozehound Tsubaki. Not as much as Gramps, but still." Namu said as he devoured a large piece of Bacchus Dragon meat.
Tsubaki looked around the large room before noticing Rin eating a parfait with a Hayanpanther.
"Who's she?" Tsubaki whispered into Namu's ear, while pointing at Rin.
"That's Rikky. He's a boy."
"You know what I meant!" Tsubaki barked.
"Relax," Namu replied, "I'm just kidding. Her name is Rin. She's a beast tamer for the coliseum."
"Is she one of your 'friends'?" Tsubaki stared at Namu, her eyes like daggers.
"No, no." Namu waved his hands nervously, "She's only got eyes for Toriko Although, I'd be lying if I said I never asked her- OW!" Namu felt a sharp pain on his foot, as if a certain pink-haired chef jabbed her heel into it. "What was that for?!"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Tsubaki said, as she looked away.
"So," Toriko began, "what was that special Ingredient you wanted us to get?"
"Ingredient?" Mansam repeated, "…AAAAAAAAAHHHH!" he yelled in horror as he remembered what Toriko was talking about, "I got so caught up about what happened at the coliseum I forgot!"
Mansam proceeded to inform everyone about the Jewel Meat.
"That sounds delicious!" Namu said, drooling.
"Don't worry about." Rin said, "Onee-chan's on his way with the Regal Mammoth as we speak."
Namu, Tsubaki and the others sat and waited outside the 1st Biotope and waited for Sunny to appear with the mammoth.
"So," Tsubaki said, "what's Sunny like?"
"He's all about beauty." Namu answered, "He's also a little weird."
"How can anyone be weirder than you people?" Tsubaki thought to herself.
Just then, a large silhouette appeared.
"That's him." Toriko said.
Tsubaki was amazed. How could someone be strong enough to lift such a large beast? And with only one hand?
Suddenly, a bunch of wild beasts appeared around Sunny, only to run away as quickly as they appeared.
"Just how strong is this guy?" Tsubaki asked herself once more.
After Sunny finished talking with the others, Namu walked up to him.
"Hey, bud. How ya doin'?" Namu grinned as he slapped Sunny on the back, causing him to fidget in pain.
"As unbeautiful a greeting as only you can provide Namu." Sunny grinned slightly, before noticing Tsubaki.
"H'llo. I'm Sunny." he smiled.
"H-Hello. My name's Tsubaki." she blushed. "He's cute up close." she thought to herself.
"All right. That's enough introducing each other." Namu said as he tightly gripped Sunny's shoulder.
"Ow. What's that for?" Sunny turned to Namu.
"Oi, Sunny," Mansam began, "You said you were bringing the mammoth."
"I did." Sunny said proudly.
"No ya didn't. This is a child."
Mansam's statement left everyone in shock.
"That's just a kid?! B-But it's so big!" Sunny shouted.
"Looks like you guys need to go to the Regal Plateau and get the Jewel Meat from the parent." Mansam said as he left.
