Setsuno opened a hidden door from the floor in his restaurant.
“Is your kitchen underground?” Komatsu surprised.
Setsuno just smiled and said, “Let's go.”
They entered the door and walked inside the tunnel together. They could not see around them because it was quite dark.
“By the way, are you also going to look for Century Soup?” ask Toriko. He knew that he had seen many food hunters in this city before. At the same time, he had heard that the group of food hunters had come because of Century Soup.
Luffy nodded, “Ya, we will look for Century.” Soup
“We will not lose to you,” Toriko said with a smile.
“We will not lose either,” Haru said.
Setsuno just smiled and turned on the lights, “We have arrived.”
They looked at the original kitchen and their reactions were astonished.
“This is huge,” Takimaru said.
In front of them was a large room with an aquarium, many tables with many strange materials, there was also a place where there were two large beasts fighting each other.
“Is this really the kitchen?” Tsunade had never seen a kitchen like this before. He felt that his logic had been discarded when he entered this world.
Komatsu is very excited and his eyes are shining looking at the scene in front of him, “I – I can't believe I can enter his kitchen.”
Haru was not sure how to describe her feelings when she entered this kitchen. He was more curious about the names of each ingredient in this place because he did not know a single one of them.
“GROWRRRRRR!!!!”
Haru turned his head and looked at a six-eyed beast with a bear-like body, “What is this?”
“Lonely Grizzlies,” Toriko said and explained, Lonely “Meat Grizzlies are usually too hard for humans, which is why he let them fight each other to make his flesh soften, they will keep fighting for a month to make the meat reach the top and you only have a few minutes chance to make it because too long time will make the meat back to hard again.”
Haru wondered if the taste of this monster was worth such preparation. He felt that he really could not be a chef who could sacrifice a lot of time to prepare food for his customers. He was more concerned about whether he could make artificial intelligence for cooking. He thought it would be nice to discuss it later with NASA after he returned to his world.
They kept moving while Toriko told them about the ingredients in this place. He told them that the preparation of these ingredients was really time consuming and difficult at the same time.
“Now, I understand why, Setsuno-san only opens the store once a month, because the preparation is very difficult,” Komatsu said.
“Bzztt!!! That's wrong, Komatsu!!” Setsuno said and stood right in front of him.
“WAHH!!!” Komatsu was shocked when he saw her right in front of his face.
“Hahahaha,” Luffy laughed, seeing his reaction.
They laugh at the same time.
“Let's go,” Setsuno said and use a rope to cross the other side of the kitchen.
“It's fun!!” Luffy has an IQ similar to that of a child and only cares for fun.
They crossed one by one to the other using a rope, at the same time, they were thinking whether it was really necessary to have a rope to cross the place. They kept walking while following him.
“Then what's your reason for only opening a store once a month?” ask Komatsu.
“That's the mood, not my mood, but the mood of the food,” Setsuno said.
“Material atmosphere?” Tsunade raised her eyebrows.
“Is there such a thing?” ask Komatsu.
‘Hmmm,’ Haru is not sure what to say in this situation because he is also not sure if he can hear the sound of materials. He wondered if he could really hear the sound of ingredients calling out to him to cook it or what.
“Hahaha, I know it sounds silly, but it's true,” Setsuno laughed and said, “Do you think the chef is choosing ingredients to make food?”
“Is it wrong?” ask Haru.
“Hnh! Hnh! It's ridiculous! No real chef believes that! Instead, it is the food that chooses the chef and his customers,” Setsuno said.
“Eat select? Is it the same as you did to us?” ask Haru.
Setsuno nodded, “That's right, I'm not sure what makes the ingredients want to be eaten by you guys, though, You have a handsome pompadour hairstyle but that is not the only reason why I ask you to eat at my home.place.”
They looked at him with strange expressions and were unsure how to respond to the statement.
‘Materials that choose customers ..’ Haru is thinking hard about this sentence. He felt that this sentence was full of deep meaning and had many meanings.
“It's very complicated,” said Luffy with a difficult expression.
Setsuno laughed, “That's right, all I did was check the ingredients from time to time to see how they felt, if they liked it, I opened the shop.”
“T – then how about the careful preparation you have done?” ask Komatsu.
“Well, you will understand that one day, you do not have to worry,” Setsuno said.
“Are we there?” Tsunade saw the light in front of them.
“Ya, welcome to the Century Soup Preparation Room!!!” Setsono.
They entered the room and saw a large pot with a minimum height of 30 meters and a diameter of 30 meters.
“Excellent!!!”
“How big!!!”
“Hahaha, let's go, I'll show you Soup Century,” Setsuno said and jumped on top of the pot.
