Food Captive: Join the chat group Chapter 036

“By the way, Director, the Regal Mammoth hasn’t been snatched by anyone yet, has it?” Toriko suddenly slapped the table and stood up. Gourmet Corp. members might have already infiltrated, and they were still leisurely eating here. Had the Jewel Meat already been taken?

They wasted time in the Gourmet Coliseum and now even more time eating.

He didn’t want to end up empty-handed, having captured nothing.

“Don’t worry, my brother just contacted me. He happened to capture a Regal Mammoth on his way here,” Rin said, licking her ice cream with a smile.

“Sunny is here too?” Toriko was surprised; he hadn’t heard that Sunny would be coming.

“Oh my, Sunny is quite reliable this time,” Mansam said in surprise.

“Director Mansam, I think you’re celebrating too early,” Qin Zhou prepared to pour cold water on their excitement.

Mansam looked at Qin Zhou in confusion.

“Toriko, Sunny’s strength should be similar to yours, right?” Qin Zhou asked.

Toriko nodded. The Four Heavenly Kings’ strengths, even with differences, weren’t drastically far apart.

“Then, Toriko, can you lift a Regal Mammoth the size of a mountain right now?”

“No, I can’t,” Toriko shook his head. He had a good grasp of his own strength.

“So, what Sunny brought is probably a small mammoth. Jewel Meat is generally only produced inside adult Regal Mammoths,” Qin Zhou explained.

The data in the manga’s character profiles was too exaggerated; it must have been filled in by Shimabukuro with his feet.

A body length of 1500m, a height of 1000m, and a weight of 50 million tons—Qin Zhou didn’t believe the Regal Mammoths in the Regal Highlands had such exaggerated statistics.

Even if they did, they would likely be found in the Gourmet World.

There was a 3000m vertical drop between the Regal Wall and the ground. If a Regal Mammoth was 1000m tall, it would occupy at least one-third of the Regal Wall, which wasn’t depicted that way in the manga.

“Let’s welcome Sunny first. He must have caught the wrong one.”

Mansam also realized that with Sunny’s current strength, he indeed couldn’t move an adult Regal Mammoth.

The Regal Mammoth he caught could only be a baby elephant.

…

“They’re here!” Rin put down her binoculars and shouted to the few people who were eating heartily.

On the distant hilltop, a gigantic figure gradually appeared: reddish-brown with tiger stripes, six short, thick legs, and two long trunks.

It was being carried by a long-haired man whose vibrant, flowing hair almost reached his heels. With every step he took, a pit appeared in the ground.

It was evident how heavy the weight he was bearing was.

“What a massive size! And this is just a juvenile Regal Mammoth?”

“Is that Mr. Sunny, one of the Four Heavenly Kings? Sugoi, he can lift it with just one arm!”

Tina and the others couldn’t believe it. This was just a juvenile Regal Mammoth, yet it was larger than any beast she had ever recorded.

What kind of colossal creature would an adult Regal Mammoth be?

“It’s not just one arm…” Mansam said slowly, eating his Drunk Beef Steak.

“It’s the Gourmet Yakuza Hoods! They want to steal the Regal Mammoth!” Komatsu widened his eyes and shouted.

Whoosh!

The Gourmet Yakuza Hoods who lunged at Sunny were instantly acupunctured and fell to the ground, unable to move.

“Caught it!”

Sunny tossed the mountain-sized Regal Mammoth lightly, and it flew towards the group.

“Ahhh, run!”

“Brother, you’re so reckless!”

As a small mountain-like behemoth descended, Komatsu and the others instinctively ran away.

Mansam caught the Regal Mammoth with both hands, squatting into a horse stance, feeling like he had suddenly shrunk by a large margin.

“Sorry, is it a little heavy, Director?” Sunny said with an apologetic tone, though no apology was visible on his face.

“Good catch! It seems your arm strength hasn’t deteriorated, but it’s not beautiful enough.”

Sunny covered half his face, critiquing Mansam’s current posture.

“The action of catching the mammoth doesn’t stir any emotion in my heart; it’s completely unmoving. Those bowed legs are simply ugly, not sexy at all. You might as well die…”

Komatsu and Tina, who were seeing Sunny for the first time, were all dumbfounded. They felt this was a person with a very bad personality.

Qin Zhou shook his head. Indeed, besides Coco, who seemed relatively normal, the other Four Heavenly Kings were all problem children.

This Sunny was a bit vain, and what he loved to talk about most was whether something had aesthetic beauty.

“Bastard, Sunny! Don’t just throw important food treasures around! You haven’t changed at all! You’ll get your comeuppance!” Mansam shouted.

“Director, I hope you’ll properly thank me for thoughtfully transporting it here,” Sunny flew up into the air.

“Yo, Toriko, long time no see. Your cellular activation is even more active than before, and your muscle elasticity is very high.”

“It seems you’ve eaten a lot of good things,” Sunny said with a hint of surprise.

“Hey, hey, don’t suddenly come over and touch my face, it’s disgusting,” Toriko said, touching his face with a disgusted expression.

Rin glared at her brother. She felt her head was a bit heavy. This stinky brother was truly too much. Was that something he was allowed to touch?

“You dodged it? Who are you? Your skin has a nice luster.”

Sunny noticed Qin Zhou. His hair-like feelers, which extended from the tips of his hair, were casually held in Qin Zhou’s hand. These feelers were even finer than hair.

Just detecting them was difficult, let alone Qin Zhou’s ability to easily pinch the hair-like feelers with two fingers.

“My name is Qin Zhou. Nice to meet you, Four Heavenly King Sunny,” Qin Zhou released Sunny’s feeler.

Being touched by a man? No, he didn’t have such intentions.

“Hoh, a powerful Gourmet Hunter I’ve never heard of,” Sunny looked at Qin Zhou with interest.

With such strength, his reputation shouldn’t be lower than theirs, the Four Heavenly Kings.

“This is a friend I just met. It’s normal that you haven’t heard of him,” Toriko said with a smile.

“I see, so he’s your friend, Toriko. No wonder he has such strength.”

Sunny nodded, then looked at the two Battle Wolves, one large and one small, who had also dodged his probing feelers.

“Battle Wolves, huh? Ancient kings, truly magnificent creatures,” Sunny praised.

The capture level of Lotta, the Battle Wolf, must be very high.

“The big one is named Lotta, she belongs to Qin Zhou. The small one is Terry, whom I adopted,” Toriko said with a smile.

“Stop using your feelers. If they get torn off, I remember that’s quite painful.”

Sunny’s hair-like feelers, though very strong, had their limits. And unlike hair, which has no pain receptors when cut, if one of his feelers broke, it could cause pain strong enough to make an ordinary person faint.

“Alright, I understand.”

Sunny nodded. Since Qin Zhou could pinch it, he had the ability to tear it off.

If a feeler were torn off, the pain would be unbearable for most people.
