The moment Ichiryu said this, Midora's eyes widened instantly. A terrifying aura erupted from him uncontrollably. The already dilapidated insect nest became even more damaged.

Starjun and the others, sensing this change, rushed towards Midora's location. They didn't know what was happening, but Midora's aura was filled with boundless rage and a hint of regret.

They knew something had happened, so they immediately rushed over.

"Rein in your aura. There are other people here. Agree to my request—and I'll tell you. This matter is very important to you."

Ichiryu had considered this for a long time before deciding to tell Midora. After all, the Midora of today was not the Midora of five hundred years ago. He had matured a lot.

It was time for him to know these things.

Hearing this, Midora obediently retracted his aura.

"BOSS, WHAT HAPPENED... WHY ARE YOU HERE??"

Starjun and Otake rushed in, only to see Ichiryu standing there. They were both completely baffled, not knowing why the President of the IGO would be here.

"Don't worry, Starjun, it's nothing. Go on, I can agree to your suggestion."

Midora said. He had calmed down now. Although Froese was his weak spot, hundreds of years had not been for nothing.

The Midora of the original story, though incredibly angry, had also been very calm. Perhaps it was because his impulsiveness had led to Froese's death, teaching him a lesson. So, Midora now knew how to choose.

"You've really matured. In that case..."

With that, Ichiryu told Midora about what had happened with Joie at the Gourmet Festival.

——————

"He took Froese's body?"

Hearing this, Midora's anger was completely ignited, but his expression was incredibly calm. He knew this anger needed to be vented—and he needed to find the right target to vent it on.

He didn't even know where this Joie was, so he had to suppress his anger.

Seeing Midora's state, Ichiryu was quite satisfied. When he had first gotten the news, he had also been incredibly angry. After all, Froese was someone they all deeply respected.

But now, her body had been taken—and her knife had been stolen.

THIS WAS UNFORGIVABLE.

But he also knew very well that he had to find her before he could act.

And it was best to let Midora do it. Though for Midora, personally destroying Froese's body might be a bit difficult—

—This was his own inner demon. He had to resolve it himself.

"About Joie, we only know that he has established an organization called NEO. As for the location, this is the information my people sent back."

Ichiryu handed the location of NEO's headquarters to Midora. After seeing his reaction, he knew he could absolutely trust him now, because Midora had learned how to control his anger.

He could turn this anger into motivation and vent it all on Joie.

As for destroying Froese's body, that wasn't a problem. They had also considered it. Since Joie could take her body, it meant her body was still alive.

So, Froese must have known her body was still alive, but she chose not to be revived, and in the end, Joie had taken advantage of it. This meant Froese had deliberately chosen not to be revived.

Since that was the case, there was no need to keep this body.

"Hidden in a place like this? And they're building some kind of spaceship!"

Midora was a little surprised.

He didn't act immediately because he still needed to make preparations. But he was very surprised that NEO was building a spaceship.

After that, Ichiryu shared a lot of intelligence with Midora. He knew that he couldn't do without him in this matter, so telling him now would prevent any accidents later.

After listening, Midora fell silent. Though he had created the Gourmet Corp, and it was a very powerful organization, in terms of intelligence, he was far behind Ichiryu.

This was normal. Ichiryu had a very good relationship with the three Flavor Sages of the Red Nitro. Most of this intelligence had come from them.

——————

"According to the intel from NEO, they believe Earth will be destroyed after the Blue Nitro finish their cooking. That's why they're preparing a spaceship—to escape into the cosmos when it all goes down."

"I have no intention of stopping you from getting your revenge on Joie, but it would be best if you let me know before you go. I am, after all, still your brother."

Ichiryu laid out the intelligence for Midora. He knew his brother would undoubtedly go after Joie, and he wouldn't stand in his way. Midora was a powerhouse in his own right, and at his age, Ichiryu certainly couldn't control him.

"I know. You can go now if there's nothing else."

Ichiryu's words made Midora fall silent for a long moment before he finally spoke. Since releasing the malice from his heart, Midora's entire demeanor had shifted. And when faced with Ichiryu, he found it impossible to truly hate him. The one who had orchestrated everything—the one who had used him, was Acacia—not his brothers.

Ichiryu had always treated them well.

Midora acknowledged him as his brother. The only reason the Blue Nitro had managed to kill Ichiryu in the original timeline was that Midora had been caught completely off guard.

He had no idea they were planning to make a move at that moment, and their attack had left him stunned.

If Ichiryu had been able to resist for even a single move, things would have been different. Midora would never have allowed the Blue Nitro to kill his brother.

"That's enough for me."

Hearing Midora's words, Ichiryu smiled. He knew his younger brother still cared. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to say anything at all. No matter what, today's events had brought Ichiryu immense joy.

With a final nod to Midora, Ichiryu turned and left.

"Honestly, getting into so much trouble at his age... but still..."

Midora watched him go with a sigh, his attention then falling to the note in his hand. The rage began to consume him, but he knew he needed a solid plan before he acted.

Joie was using Froese's body, so his strength was not to be underestimated. And with a group of Blue Nitro at his side, a reckless move could easily get him blindsided—a risk he wasn't willing to take.

——————

After Ichiryu shared the intelligence with Midora, Yuuki and the others in the Human World set out once again.

This time, their objective was ANOTHER—so Setsuno, Granny Ayame, and even Granny Chiyo and Chin Chinchin tagged along.

Preparing ANOTHER was a monumental event for any chef.

While GOD was the most important ingredient—ANOTHER was a close second.

As for Granny Chiyo and Chin Chinchin, they immediately joined the group upon hearing they were heading to the World of Souls.

IT WAS A CHANCE TO SEE THEIR SON.

They would not pass up such an opportunity. Yuuki didn't mind. He knew that once they entered, he would still be the one leading the way—the others could only provide minor assistance.

However, Yuuki did give Ichiryu a heads-up. After all, Don Slime was the King of the Blue Grill. A little advance notice would ensure they received preferential treatment upon arrival.

Otherwise, they would have had to compete with the Five 10-Shell Cooks—just as Komatsu and the others did in the original story. Not that it would have been a problem for Yuuki, but frankly, the culinary skills of the Five 10-Shell Cooks weren't particularly impressive.

They may have lived for a long time—but age doesn't automatically equate to skill in the culinary world—TALENT IS PARAMOUNT.

Their skills were roughly on par with Granny Chiyo's and Chef Yuda's.

In the original story, Setsuno hadn't gone to the Blue Grill because she was needed to protect the Human World. If she had gone, she could have swept the Five 10-Shell Cooks by herself.

——————

"I wonder if we'll actually get to see Ichiru this time..."

Aboard the juvenile Giant Shell—Granny Chiyo was fraught with worry. The others didn't find it surprising—they knew her purpose for coming.

The pain of a parent burying their child was something Setsuno understood all too well. She and Jiro had lived for centuries. Their loved ones couldn't live as long as they could.

Sometimes, a long life wasn't necessarily a good thing. Watching those around you pass away one by one was a terrible feeling.

Seeing Granny Chiyo's distress, Chin Chinchin immediately went to comfort her.

"We're about to enter the territory of the Seventh Continent."

Soon, Jiro's voice cut in. He was very familiar with the Seventh Continent—after all, the Magma Consommé from his Full Course Menu was located there.

The group now had to cross the Seventh Continent to reach the Sixth. The continents were all connected.

"The plants on the Seventh Continent are huge!"

Upon entering the Seventh Continent, Nono was stunned by the gigantic flora. Even though the juvenile Giant Shell was flying high in the sky—the massive trees still reached heights of several kilometers, and a single blade of grass could be dozens or even hundreds of meters tall.

The scene was truly breathtaking.

"The plants and insects on the Seventh Continent are all massive. In contrast, the monkey tribes that occupy this land are—with a few exceptions, very small, and their capture levels are very low."

Jiro explained the situation on the Seventh Continent to Nono. When he mentioned that some of the rulers of the regions here only had capture levels of around one thousand, Nono was even more shocked.

For someone from the Human World, a capture level of one thousand was terrifying. But in the Gourmet World, it was nothing.

A level of one thousand didn't even reach the average. It was hard to imagine how such a level could rule a continent.

"It's amazing, right? It's all thanks to a technique on this continent called Enbu. Monkeys who have learned Enbu can unleash combat power far exceeding their own level—"

"Yuuki knows this very well. After all, his Enbu has already reached the master level."

Jiro said, looking at Yuuki.

"That's right. The Boost from Enbu is significant. Don't be fooled by their capture level of only one thousand—their true combat power can reach several thousand."

Yuuki nodded.

The Seventh Continent was a strange place, but they didn't plan to linger, so their current goal was to leave. But just as they were about to depart, an attack shot up from the ground. Fortunately, the juvenile Giant Shell reacted quickly and dodged it.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!"

"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK???"

Jiro was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yuuki.

Yuuki's Food Luck was incredibly powerful. Logically, as they passed through here, other creatures shouldn't have been able to discover them.

But now, not only had they been discovered, but they had also been attacked. Yuuki's Food Luck should have prevented this.

"My Food Luck didn't prevent this attack, which means this attack might lead to some kind of reward."

Yuuki thought for a moment and said.

Food Luck guides people to find ingredients, but finding ingredients also involves danger. Komatsu was a prime example. The same was true for Yuuki now.

It was clear that there was some kind of ingredient here—an ingredient that his Food Luck wanted him to capture.
