I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Legendary kitchen utensils possess an unparalleled passion for processing ingredients. Razer's culinary skills are beyond question, and there are many ingredients they have never seen before that they can handle.

For kitchen utensils that seem to possess a spirit, this is simply the happiest and most joyful thing.

"Kayla Crocodile...this time, let's just stir-fry it!"

The divine power within Lei Zhe surged into the Garuda Blade in his hand, and a burst of scorching spiritual energy, like the flames of a phoenix, coursed across the blade.

Then, a blur appeared in Lei Zhe's hand, and in the next instant, countless blazing slashing beams burst forth and descended upon the ingredients.

The giant crocodile was first skinned, then its body was cleansed of parasites and impurities by the Garuda Blade, and then it was chopped into small pieces by the Eternal Spirit Blade, remaining at its peak freshness before being placed on the chopping board.

Xiao Sheng sat to one side, resting her chin on her hands, watching Lei Zhe intently cooking with a smile. She thoroughly enjoyed this relaxed and pleasant date.

Moreover, now it's just her and Razer. Razer, who is obsessed with becoming stronger, is no longer the boy who could accompany her all the time back in the main world.

Lei Zhe is now a mature man, although Xiao Sheng was not the one who turned him into a man, which made Xiao Sheng very angry.

Her pet was snatched away by someone else, which made her extremely upset.

On Reiji's side, in less than a minute, all the pieces of Kayla crocodile meat were cut into neat small pieces and arranged neatly on the huge cutting board, revealing the shiny and cool tender meat.

With the remaining mountain of meat, Razer used his amazing knife skills to cut it into more than a dozen ribs with a radius of two meters.

Both he and Xiao Sheng had big appetites, so they could still finish this amount of food, using the giant pot brought by their shadow clone.

He paired it with a seasoning made by Lei Zhe based on his pharmacological knowledge, and then took out the King of Herbs ginseng, which has been used for thousands of years.

These are the Medicine Kings created by Rai Zhe using his time-manipulation abilities, a power that allows him to accelerate the creation of millennia in the blink of an eye.

Its potent medicinal properties are self-evident; it can be used in medicine or in medicinal cuisine.

Soon, thanks to Rezer's skillful and swift technique, an incomparably rich aroma spread throughout the Baron Islands.

Countless ferocious beasts on the island were attracted by the aroma, their mouths watering like rivers, and they couldn't help but rush towards Reiji.

but......

"Pooli!"

A profound aura, like a black hole at the end of the universe, emanated from Reiji's body. Kirby, under Xiao Sheng's loving gaze, jumped out of Reiji's body and onto Reiji's shoulder.

Kirby, rubbing his pink belly, stared at the food cooking in front of him with a drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Kirby's unintentional, harmless aura caused all the beasts on the Baron Islands to tremble and cower, their mouths watering.

Although it was only a momentary pressure, all the beasts could only stare longingly at the place emitting an indescribable fragrance, drooling profusely and daring not to move forward.

At the same time, a burly man with blue hair and a short man in comparison ran towards that direction, drooling.

"Delicious! How can there be such an indescribable aroma? I haven't even tasted it yet, but just smelling it makes me feel incredibly happy!!!"

Toriko, the protagonist of this world, was panting heavily as he inhaled the aroma floating in the air. Just doing so made him feel his gourmet cells trembling violently.

Behind him, a scarlet-skinned demon appeared faintly, its gaze fixed on the direction where Lei Zhe was.

Toriko's own appetite, coupled with the appetite of the food demon residing within him, was making him feel like he was about to lose control. If it weren't for the feeling of happiness filling his heart, he would be nothing more than a beast that only wanted to eat.

Komatsu, standing behind Toriko, was in no better shape. His salivary glands seemed to be out of control, and he was drooling wildly with a dazed look on his face.

A desire deep within him urged him to pursue that happiness: Go, go, go and taste that happiness!

Along the way, Toriko and Komatsu saw countless ferocious beasts that were going crazy and wanted to approach but dared not. When they saw the two humans, they attacked without hesitation.

Toriko, without any hesitation, raised his hand and delivered a triple nail punch!

“Bang bang bang!!!”

All the ferocious beasts that dared to stop Toriko from eating were beaten away by him, who was panting heavily and almost going crazy from hunger. He was determined to taste this unparalleled delicacy no matter what.

This dish was so intoxicating that it drove him wild, even causing the culinary demon within him to nearly lose control.

"Mr. Toriko, this smell is too..."

Komatsu's face was filled with a blissful expression as he inhaled deeply the blissful fragrance in the air, his heart filled with curiosity about who could have made such a terrifying dish.

Toriko, with his gaping maw drooling like a demon, carried Komatsu on his back, running wildly while beating away any beasts blocking his path, and said:

"It smells like the Kayla Crocodile, but it's been cooked to a flavor far exceeding what the ingredient should have. I absolutely must taste this unprecedented delicacy... Get out of the way! Move aside! Triple Nail Punch!!!"

His thick, sturdy arms shot out visible blue energy like rocket launchers, sending any who dared to block his way flying.

With Toriko and Komatsu rushing forward, they finally saw two figures standing on the shore of the swamp, having already prepared various meat dishes and placed them on the table.

Razer held a spatula and kept stirring the meat dish, adding various seasonings as needed.

Little Saint, unable to resist any longer, was holding the pink ball Kirby in her arms and had already started eating it in small bites, feeding the cute pink creature in her arms as she ate.

After Rei Zhe finished his last dish, a deep and restrained golden light emanated from the pot worm, but it did not burst forth.

"Ah, I can't hold back anymore!"

At that moment, upon smelling the fragrance up close, the crimson demon inside Toriko burst out of its host's body and went berserk under the unbearable aroma!

"Food...food! It's all mine—!"

Red Oni lunged wildly, trying to rush towards the largest cauldron, but Kirby happily accepted the food offered by Little Saint. When he and Rei saw this scene, their eyes sharpened together.

They're here to steal our food!?

"Pooli!"

Kirby, who couldn't stand having his food stolen, opened his mouth wide in a fierce yet adorable manner as he stared at the red demon.

Limited black hole absorption!

The immense gravitational pull of the celestial body distorted light and spacetime before suddenly descending upon the Red Demon.

Toriko's strength has not yet fully developed, and Akamai's strength is naturally not at its peak yet. Of course, even at his peak, Akamai would still be stronger than Kirby, who can now devour the entire world and the universe.

In the instant that Red Oni was frozen in mid-air in a daze, the scenery in front of him was already in front of Kirby's huge mouth.

Overwhelmed by indescribable fear and the force of the situation, the Red Demon's face contorted with terror. Before he could say anything, he was unsurprisingly sucked into Kirby's body.

"Red Demon!?"

Toriko was completely bewildered by the sudden turn of events, from his own gourmet demon going berserk to being eaten by a pink ball creature. He was utterly caught off guard by this rapid change.

However, after completely severing ties with the Red Demon, a wave of weakness washed over him, and his gourmet cells seemed to wither away as if they had lost their soul.

Only then did he realize that his gourmet demon had been eaten!?

The fact that the gourmet demon had left his body and severed all connection with him made Toriko think that his partner, the Crimson Oni, might be... finished, since he had been eaten right in front of him.

Toriko, who had fallen helplessly to the ground, stared at the adorable Kirby with a resentful and angry expression, his mouth opening and closing but unable to utter a word.

He and the Red Demon were partners; how could he not be furious when his partner was eaten?

"Mr. Toriko, what's wrong!?"

Seeing Toriko fall helplessly to the ground, Komatsu was so frightened that tears streamed down his face. He tried his best to pull the big Toriko up, but it was no use.

Xiao Sheng looked at the man who had suddenly appeared and then collapsed to the ground with a strange expression. Recalling that the ugly, ghost-like creature had been eaten by Kirby, he understood what had happened to the man.

Reiji sighed helplessly, went to little Kirby's side, patted the boy's head, then gently picked him up and said comfortingly:

"Alright Kirby, spit that thing out. Nobody's going to steal your food..."

"Pooli~~"

Kirby pouted, looking at Toriko's angry eyes and thinking of himself and Reiji. The wretched guy he had just eaten was probably this guy's partner.

Kirby jumped off Reiji's arms and hopped over to Toriko.

Toriko and Komatsu opened their mouths wide in tension and fear, and then...

"Hmph—Pah!"

The crimson behemoth was spat out by Kirby and then returned directly to Toriko's body.

Toriko looked dazed and somewhat incredulous. He stood up and looked down at his body, which was no longer empty and weak, and he had regained his connection with the Red Oni.

The red demon, now back in its host body, was filled with terror and confusion. It had just been eaten by that pink ball-shaped creature and had arrived in another vast and empty universe.

Then, before long, it was blown away by a repulsive force, and when it came to its senses, it returned to its host's body.

"...Toriko, get that dish, no matter what means you use, and don't mess with that pink little devil, it's a fully alive gourmet demon with unimaginable power!!"

Despite his fear and dread of Kirby's terrifying presence, the Gourmet Demon exists solely for the purpose of eating delicious food, and he cannot bear to part with the tempting dishes laid out before him.

However, after seeing the adorable Kirby outside the host's body, Red Demon still instinctively shrank his neck.

Damn it, I can't beat him. Even at his peak, I'm sure I can't beat him!

It contains an entire universe within its body—what a terrifying gourmet demon! I've never heard of it before!?

I'm afraid even those two guys, Blue Ghost and White Ghost, wouldn't be a match for them!

Fully aware of how insignificant he was in the face of Kirby, the Red Demon shamelessly dumped all the pressure on his host.

If you can't beat them yourself, then go and fight them! Whether you beg or buy, whatever method you use, as long as you can get that dish, it doesn't matter.

This is probably the first time since the Red Demon was able to communicate with Toriko that he has tried to reason with him.

"...A living gourmet demon!?"

Toriko looked at the cute pink thing in front of him and nervously swallowed. It was understandable that something could frighten the red oni like this.

However, after the man's kind persuasion, the little pink thing was not entirely uncommunicative.

The Red Oni went berserk and stole other people's food; he deserved to be eaten.

Toriko and Komatsu then took a closer look at the diners, a man and a woman. The man was even more handsome than Sani, and his blond hair was even more dazzling than Sani's colorful hair.

As for the girls, they were like the most perfect dream masterpieces of the Creator, making Xiaosong blush and feel embarrassed, but he couldn't feel any sense of blasphemy.

"Uh, cough cough, I'm really sorry about earlier. The gourmet demon inside me caused you trouble. Thank you for letting the Red Oni off the hook despite our past grievances. May I ask who you two are?"

With a friendly and amiable smile, revealing a row of bright white teeth, Toriko politely inquired about Raiji's name.

The man who cooked this dish must be ranked very high, and a chef capable of creating such extraordinary cuisine should be highly regarded.

"Just call me Raiji, and this is my wife, Sacred." Looking at Toriko, the protagonist of this world, Raiji didn't feel any ill will towards her. After all, it was really hard to dislike this person. He introduced himself and Sacred in a friendly manner.

"My name is Toriko, and this is Komatsu. Hello!"

Toriko tried hard to recall if he remembered the other person, but he couldn't. He then nervously and cautiously pointed to Kirby, who was running off to eat, and asked, "Then... who is this?"

"My gourmet demon, just call him Kirby. He's quite easy to talk to as long as you don't steal his food."
