After the group returned to the Human World, they headed straight for Gourmet Town. Jiro also immediately told President Ichiryu.

When the group arrived at the Setsuno Dining Hall in Gourmet Town, Ichiryu and Mansam were here.

Shigematsu had returned to normal—and to make up for what he'd done, he'd taken on virtually all of the IGO's operations. He had no complaints about this arrangement. Just being free from Joie's control was a blessing in itself. Nobody wanted to be a puppet—especially when you were aware of every terrible thing you'd been forced to do.

That's exactly why both Ichiryu and Mansam had come.

"I can't believe it's real. You actually managed to prepare it successfully. When I heard the Horse King's Answer before—I was sure you'd failed..."

Ichiryu's voice was filled with amazement and relief. Who would have thought that the preparation method the Red Nitro had used for ages wasn't even the best approach??

And it was very shocking that Yuuki could hear the voice of AIR.

"This kid is very skilled. He doesn't fight unprepared—now you should eat AIR first!"

Jiro said.

In front of Setsuno and Ichiryu and the others, AIR was already placed. As long as they ate AIR, their strength could be further improved.

At Jiro's urging—the few of them ate AIR.

After that, their Gourmet Cells were activated, and their left hands were revived.

—————

"The taste of this AIR is even more delicious than what I've eaten in the past!"

At this moment, Don Slime was very surprised. He knew the taste of AIR—but the taste of this AIR was better than any time before.

"What a good ingredient. No wonder so many people were desperate to get their hands on these back then. My strength has improved dramatically—this will be crucial for the chaos ahead."

Looking at the ingredients before him, Ichiryu suddenly had an idea.

"Chef Yuuki, can I send a part of the ingredients to one person?"

The moment Ichiryu asked this, everyone immediately understood. He was obviously thinking about Midora. After all, ingredients like these could significantly boost someone's strength. Of course he wouldn't forget his brother.

Even after the destruction Midora had caused, Ichiryu still couldn't bring himself to hold it against him. The bond between these three brothers was unbreakable.

"Ichiryu, are you really planning on giving ingredients to that punk Midora?"

Setsuno's voice was tight with reluctance. Before, she might not have objected—while the Gourmet Corp had certainly caused its share of chaos, their reckless actions had, ironically, become the very thing that fueled the IGO's growth.

The Gourmet Corp's blatant disregard for borders and authority, backed by their considerable power, had been a cataclysm for any nation they targeted.

Their existence had driven countless terrified countries straight into the arms of the IGO, seeking protection and membership.

In a twisted way, the Gourmet Corp had been a necessary evil.

But that was then.

Now, the IGO had unified the Human World, forging humanity into a single, cohesive entity. The Gourmet Corp was no longer needed—and for all intents and purposes, it was already gone.

The Great war between the two factions had left them decimated, with barely a handful of powerhouses remaining.

In the original story, the only heavy hitters the Gourmet Corp could still field by the end were Midora and Starjun.

And this time, Midora's malice had poisoned the entire Human World, its tendrils even creeping into the Gourmet World. If not for Ichiryu's Full Course Menu, the world would have become a living hell.

——————

"That's the plan. I want to send him some. He'll be needed in the coming war, after all. The stronger he is, the more at ease I'll be."

Ichiryu nodded. Hearing his resolve, Setsuno said no more. She wanted no part in this.

Jiro, who also saw Midora as a younger brother, remained silent, his gaze shifting to Yuuki.

"The ingredients are yours now—Why are you asking me?"

Yuuki shook his head.

If it were up to him, he'd never give a single scrap to Midora—the man's actions were indefensible. But he wouldn't interfere with Ichiryu's decision. The ingredients were a gift—what they did with them was their business now.

Besides, Yuuki understood Ichiryu's reasoning. He truly treated Midora like a blood brother.

Of course, he'd want to share something good with him. And to be fair, Midora had saved his life. Sure, it was only because Ichiryu had held back in their fight, but it wasn't like Midora had asked him to.

In the end, the fact remained: Midora had spared him. Under those circumstances, it was only natural for Ichiryu to think of him.

"I understand. Thank you, Chef Yuuki!"

Ichiryu said with a smile. Even though Yuuki had put it that way, the ingredients were still a gift from him. If Yuuki had refused, Ichiryu would never have sent them to Midora.

His approval was all that mattered.

"Don't thank me. What you do with the ingredients is your own business."

Yuuki shook his head, saying no more.

——————

After they finished eating AIR, Ichiryu and Mansam departed. With his newfound strength, Mansam's control over his power had improved—he likely wouldn't go berserk so easily now.

After everyone went their separate ways, Ichiryu took a portion of the ingredients and headed directly into the Gourmet World—seeking out the Gourmet Corp's headquarters.

Both the IGO and the Gourmet Corp had their own territories in the Gourmet World. The IGO's was located within the Cloud Tree.

The Gourmet Corp, on the other hand, was hidden inside a colossal insect nest.

The insects here had been completely domesticated by the Gourmet Corp, but the base itself was in a sorry state.

"Looks like the Gourmet Corp is well and truly finished."

Surveying the pathetic state of the headquarters, Ichiryu shook his head and entered, immediately locking onto Midora's presence.

On his own turf, Midora made no effort to conceal his aura, making him easy to find.

"HM? WHY ARE YOU HERE?"

Midora, who was in the middle of a meal, looked up in surprise. He had saved Ichiryu because he still saw him as his older brother.

Of course, being the tsundere he was, while he was thrilled to see Ichiryu, he didn't let it show.

Standing beside Midora's table was Komatsu.

After being brought here, he had prepared a meal that had deeply satisfied Midora. Komatsu's Culinary skill couldn't compare to Froese's, but he was an exceptionally pure chef.

So, while his dishes lacked some technical refinement, their essence was remarkably close to Froese's cooking.

It was for this reason that Midora was so pleased with his food.

He had even agreed to let Komatsu go, but Komatsu had refused. He had declared that he would wait right here for Toriko—wait for him to come and take him back.

It just went to show the absolute trust Komatsu had in Toriko. And Toriko felt the same way—their friendship had reached an incredible level.

——————

"I came to see you, of course. And to bring you something. By the way, I'm taking this little guy with me, if that's alright."

Ichiryu naturally recognized Komatsu and intended to take him back.

"You can take him whenever you want. I was going to send him away after he cooked for me the first time, but he said he wanted to wait here for someone."

Midora didn't care.

While Komatsu's cooking was good, and its essence was very similar to Froese's, he wasn't Froese. A meal like this was fine now and then, but it wasn't something he would cling to.

"Waiting for someone?"

Ichiryu looked at Komatsu.

"Yes, President. I'm waiting for Toriko-san. He promised he would bring me back, so I have to wait for him here!"

Komatsu explained.

"I see. Toriko is lucky to have a partner like you!"

Hearing this, Ichiryu understood. He thought highly of Komatsu as well, but it was a pity they already had Yuuki, who was far more exceptional than Komatsu in every way.

"Alright, now about you. What did you bring me?"

Midora interrupted, asking with genuine curiosity what kind of ingredient Ichiryu would bring him.

"Of course it's something good. AIR has been successfully prepared by Yuuki—and it wasn't a failed preparation, but succeeded using an even more delicious method. So I brought some for you!"

Ichiryu said, tossing a package to Midora.

Hearing this, Midora was stunned for a moment, but his hand shot out and caught it instantly.

Opening the package, he saw the portion of AIR inside.

"AIR? IS THIS THE AIR FROM THE GOURMET GOD ACACIA'S FULL COURSE MENU??"

Komatsu, hearing this, was shocked. This was a legendary ingredient! Although he had seen its name at the Gourmet Temple, he had never seen the real thing.

Not just him—even Toriko and the others hadn't. After all, this was an ingredient from Acacia's Full Course Menu, incredibly precious.

"That's right."

"So this is a successfully prepared AIR—I thought it had failed based on the Horse King's Answer!"

Midora said, looking at the AIR in his hands.

"I thought the same thing at the time. But Chef Yuuki is more incredible than we imagined. He can hear the Voice of Ingredients—even AIR. So he used a new method to prepare it."

Ichiryu explained simply.

"Alright, I get it. But are you really going to give me an ingredient like this?"

Midora was a little surprised.

"It's already in your hands—isn't it?? Why do you have to be so stubborn? Alright, I'm leaving. When I get a new ingredient, if I can get my hands on it, I'll bring you some more."

Ichiryu said, turning to leave, but he stopped halfway.

"What's wrong? Regretting it??"

Midora asked, seeing Ichiryu stop.

"No. There's just something I need to tell you. But before I do, you have to promise me you won't act rashly."

Ichiryu said.

"Say it or don't!"

Midora was too lazy to waste words after hearing this.

"You'll Listen—because this concerns Froese-sama!"
