Toriko: Namu's Buffet.
Chapter 12: "FINALLY! The Jewel Meat!"
Namu woke up with an aggressive headache.
"Ugh." he groaned, "What happened?"
Suddenly, Tsubaki appeared and hugged him a little too tightly.
"Namu! Thank Acacia you're all right!" she said, with tears of relief pouring from her eyes, "You got in a big fight with a member of the Bishokukai."
Namu's memory was a little fuzzy from exhaustion and hunger, but he could still vaguely remember the fight now that Tsubaki mentioned it.
"Oh yeah…" he said, "Hito…" he thought to himself.
Meanwhile, at the Bishokukai Human World headquarters .
"Arrrgh!" the scream echoed throughout the base, "I can't freaking believe this! I lost to some metal-headed greaser and his squeeze?! This is Giga Horse crap!" Hito yelled.
"Hito-sama, please calm down." a small man in a cloak said.
"Shut up, Joejoe!' Hito yelled once more as he removed the suit needed to operate a GT Robo, "Where the heck are my clothes?"
"There in the locker room, Hito-sama." Joejoe answered as he followed a raging Hito.
Just then, Bei appeared.
"Hey Hito-sama. How ya do-"
Before he could finish his greeting, Hito grabbed him by the face and flung him across the room.
"Not. Well." Hito said, coldly.
As Hito found his locker, he ripped the door off of it's hinges and grabbed his clothes which consisted of red and black, zebra-print pants, black leather boots, a short, purple cloth he wrapped around his stomach, a large coat with a blue and yellow oriental pattern with fur around the neck, bottom, and cuffs of the sleeves. And topping his outfit was an orange headband he wrapped around his forehead, beneath his spiky, green hair.
"Namu…" he thought out loud, "You're dead meat." he said, clenching his fists.
As an injured Namu and Tsubaki finally made it to the Regal Wall, they were taken aback at what they saw. A giant pink GT Robo was lying in a huge crater while Coco and Sunny sat nearby, eating.
"The frick happened here?" Namu asked as he was being held up by Tsubaki.
"Long story." Coco said simply, "A story you've no doubt heard very recently, it would seem."
"Shaddup. We won, didn't we?" Namu grinned.
"Barely." Tsubaki interjected, "If I haden't come back, you'd be dead as a door nail."
Namu chuckled.
"You're right. You really saved my hide today. Thank you Tsubaki." he grinned, causing Tsubaki to blush.
"I-It was nothing." she said, waving her hand.
Suddenly, Toriko, Komatsu and a heavily injured Rin jumped out of the Regal Mammoth. However, Toriko was holding a large, brilliantly shining object that made it hard to see.
A few hours later, everyone was gathered around a large table.
"It's ready." a butler said, as he lifted the lid off the large plate, revealing the fully prepared Jewel Meat.
"Itadakimasu." everyone said in unison before eating.
As Namu took a bite of the legendary meat, a sudden surge of power shot throughout his entire body. His muscles grew so big, they ripped parts of his jacket and his body began glowing brightly, although not as bright as Sunny.
The taste was incredible. It tasted like all the different types of meat. Shoulder, rib, rump.
"It's said that different parts of the Jewel Meat taste more like specific types of meat the closer that part is to another," Namu thought, "but this tastes like all of them equally. The part I'm eating must've been near the center."
"Gouchisou samadeshita." everyone said, as they finished eating the Jewel Meat.
As Namu got ready to leave the next morning, Tsubaki stopped him.
"Oi, Namu!"
"What is it, Tsubaki?" Namu asked.
"Why didn't you want to put the Jewel Meat in your Full Course?"
"Well, I don't care much for having my Full Course intersecting with Toriko and the others' menus either. Besides, there are plenty of other Ingredients I haven't tasted yet." Namu leaned closed to Tsubaki's ear, "Between you and me, I'm aiming for the Lightning Phoenix next."
With that, Namu boarded the IGO helicopter and flew into his next adventure, unaware that he would soon not only see Tsubaki once more, but add another item to his Full Course. And it wouldn't be the Meat Dish…
End of Chapter.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey everyone, hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next arc will be based on a suggestion from a fan by the name of "pokemonking0924" (at least, I hope that's right). I'm still thinking of doing a "Boku no Hero Academia" fanfic, so if y'all have any ideas for Quirks for BnHA, or Ingredients for "Toriko" I am now taking suggestions. Till next time. JANE!
