Third person POV

"Komatsu! We are heading to Gourmet Town!" Toriko yelled

Today is the day that Toriko was waiting for, for a very long time like 4 years actually.

The moment they set foot on Gourmet Town, overwhelming pressure from ingredients welcomed them.
Food luck was also proved with them. Apparently, Toriko had made a reservation for National Gourmet Treasure Setsuno's special menu. That menu includes the phantom soup Century Soup.

Komatsu being able to distinguish even just one ingredient cause Setsuno to show them her kitchen. That's what caused them to move and look for the real Century Soup.

They heard that an aristocrat is hiring anyone who can bring back the Century Soup. They all met up at Bar Heavy Lodge.

The moment Toriko and Komatsu set foot on the bar people, no, Bishokuyas, Yakuza, Knights, famous valuable people recognized him. That made clear how famous Toriko is.

"Ooh, it's Toriko, care for some Enamel Bear?" The owner of Bar Heavy Lodge Master asked.
"It's been a while Master!" Toriko exclaimed
"What a surprise to have the two of you visit at the same time." Master said cheerfully
"Two of us?" Toriko asked confused

Master pointed at a corner where lots of people gathered. Toriko and Komatsu slipped through the crowd and saw her arm-wrestling a giant bald man with muscles that is not second to Toriko's.

"Yori!?" Toriko shouted

Yori being surprised by Toriko lost controlled and smashed the arm of her opponent to the table too strong it broke the platform to pieces.

It shattered the table and broke baldy's arm.

Yori stood up and yelled
"I'll pay for the table Master!!!"
"No need to worry about it Yori-chan" the owner laughed

"Anyways, Toriko! You shouldn't startle me like that. I planned to take it easy on the guy. Now he even broke his arm...or i broke his arm. Ugh, stupid sentence structures! So, you're here for Colonel too? The Century Soup?"
"You want the soup too Yori-san?" Komatsu asked
"Yes. What about you two. What makes you chase after it?"
"Komatsu wants to conplete the soup that Old Lady Setsu made. Apparently, it's incomplete. What about you, what's your reason?" Toriko asked
".............. I just wanna eat it" Yori wave her hands

Ahhh...... Toriko and Komatsu sweat dropped.

Later on, the colonel arrived. They were informed that the Century Soup can be found in Ice Hell. The colonel provided them with thermal suits to keep them from freezing. But who knows how reliable the fabric is.

"Here is yours Yori."
"No need Tori-chan."
"You sure?"
"Yes, my clothes are always equipped for the weather"
"But you're barely even wearing anything!"
"Fine. I'll wear one. You're too protective Tori"

Sooner than expected, wild beasts have already arrived. The Gourmet Yakuza Vice Boss Match, and the Gourmet Knights member Takimaru had displayed great power. But Toriko was in for a perfect test of powers. A giant chunk of ice was falling on them.

Toriko attacked it with Knife and Fork. But it didn't seen to work. He was about to use a 5-ren, but Yori stopped him

"I'll take care of it."

She held her hand with her ring finger stopped by her thumb. Toriko was confused on what she's gonna do. But she suddenly flicked her ring finger. And it gave and incredible pressure that conpletely disintegrated the ice and it turned to fine snow.

"Amazing, just the air pressure of the flick destroyed the ice." Takimaru stated in awe
"I never saw you use that before." Toriko said
"It wasn't a technique, it was just an overpowered flick" she said waving her left hand like she's dismissing the subject.

"Just...a flick?" Komatsu couldn't believe how much power she has

All three went with the first batch. The other already had pieces of ice form in their suits while Yori's stayed clear. Like she's in an oven. It was warm around her and she has no problem moving.

"We'll pass the night here." Toriko said pointing to a digged hole in the ice he made.

The others were freezing. Some even had frost bite that their ears got off. Some had hypothermia. But Yori was conpletely fine like she's just sitting, standing, walking around ina comfortable condominium.

"What is she?" Toriko sighed
