Chapter 99: Next Mission!
Gintoki, who ate his sweet, stopped when he felt his phone ringing. He opened his phone lazily but raised his eyebrow when he saw a new quest, "Hmm, Century Soup?"
"Gin-chan, did you hide food from me?" Kagura suddenly came and hugged him from behind.
"No, I don't hide anything, also don't eat my sweet," Gintoki started to slap her head.
Kagura didn't care and kept eating his sweets.
"This girl!!!" Gintoki was pissed.
"What? You're very stingy Gin-chan, don't you have money from your novel?" Kagura asked.
"It's for my pension! My job is unstable! I need it for my old day!" Gintoki said.
"You won't be popular with girls that way," Kagura said.
"What?" Gintoki was angry.
Both of them started to argue with each other.
"ALRIGHT, BOTH OF YOU, DON'T FIGHT TO EACH OTHER!!" Shinpachi said.
"Shut up, Glasses!!!!" Both of them said at the same time.
"W - what! Let's take it outside, dammit!!!" Shinpachi also joined.
Luffy was practicing under the monitor of Rayleigh.
"Ha....Ha...Ha..." Luffy was very tired and laid on the ground.
"Alright, you can take a rest," Rayleigh said while drinking his alcohol. He didn't know but he had gotten quite a lot of good alcohol from him. He had never seen this brand before, "Bourbon." He had him but he said that he had gotten this from Zipper Boy.
Luffy felt that his phone was ringing, "Hmm?" He opened his phone and raised his eyebrow, "Quest? Century Soup?"
"Luffy, what's wrong?" Rayleigh asked.
"Nothing," Luffy smiled and started to chat in the group chat.
"Really? What are you looking at?" Rayleigh asked.
"I'm looking at my phone, I'm talking to my friend," Luffy said.
"Hmm," Rayleigh nodded and continued his drink.
Tsunade ran away from the Hokage Office back to her home. She holed up in her house while drinking vodka.
"Tsunade-sama, please come back to the office," Shizune looked at her with a helpless expression.
"Yes, Sensei," Sakura also joined
"No, I want a break," Tsunade shook her head. She looked at her and said, "How about you join me? C'mon Shizune, Sakura!"
"Tsunade-sama....." Shizune and Sakura had a helpless expression and wasn't sure how to react in this situation.
Tsunade wanted to persuade her again until her phone rang. She opened her eyes wide and knew that it was her chance to get out of the work in her office.
"Is it Haru? Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked.
Tsunade shook her head, "What's wrong, do you want to meet him?"
Shizune was red, "N - no, I don't mean it like that."
"Hehehe, it's okay, you need to help him get back to the right path," Tsunade said while looking at the group chat.
"What do you mean, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune titled her head.
"Alright, what is 'Toriko'?" Yajima didn't even know what this world was about.
"Hmm, Toriko is a very dangerous world," Kuroneko replied.
"Dangerous?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes, there are a lot of monsters in that world...." Kuroneko started to explain to them about the general idea about this world. She told them that every monster could become food and it was very delicious.
The two most popular professions in that world are Food Hunter and Chef.
Kuroneko also explained that the people in that world were using something known as Gourmet Cell. It meant that they would become stronger with the food that they had eaten, the more delicious the food the stronger they were.
"I WANT TO GO!!!!" Luffy hurriedly replied. He wanted to eat a lot of food, meat and fight a lot of monsters. He thought it was also a good chance to make himself stronger.
"I think Luffy is suitable since he is quite strong," Kuroneko replied and added, "But we need three people to go there? Who are the next two people? By the way, @Haru where are you?"
"I'm here, I'm trying to remember the story of Toriko and don't forget our objective is Century Soup," Haru said.
"Now that you mention it, what is Century Soup?" Tsunade asked.
"Century Soup is a rare and high-class ingredient, considered one of the greatest soups in the world. The soup only forms in the center of the inhospitable continent Ice Hell once every 100 years, and only under special circ.u.mstances. The original source of Century Soup was Ice Hell's legendary Gourmet Show Window," Kuroneko explained fluently.
"As expected of Kuroneko," Gintoki praised.
"Thank you for your praise," Kuroneko said.
"Is it good?" Yajima asked.
"Of course, but it's also very hard to get it, we need to go to the Ice Hell, where the temperature is around minus 50-degree Celsius," Haru answered.
"Minus 50-degree celsius?" Luffy asked.
"Colder than Frozen Hell in the Impel Down," Haru answered.
"...." Luffy started to remember how cold that place was but he couldn't stop the temptation of that food, "I will go."
"I'm quite familiar with the story and I will go too," Haru said.
"Alright, I don't have a problem, but please share Century Soup," Gintoki said.
"Of course, I'm planning to share it with everyone," Haru said.
"Good," Yajima replied.
"So who is the last member?" Kuroneko asked.
"I'm not good, I'm already very old, I'm not planning to have that kind of dangerous adventure," Yajima answered.
"Is there good alcohol?" Tsunade suddenly asked.
"It's a place where you can find legendary alcohol," Haru answered.
"Good, I will go too," Tsunade said.
"Alright, the three people are Tsunade, Haru, and Luffy," Kuroneko said.
"Can you also get me some sweets too?" Gintoki asked. He was quite curious about the sweets from the world of Toriko.
"Alright, before we go, let's prepare," Haru said.
