Ichiryu's Full Course Menu was composed of eight bizarre ingredients:
Hors d'Oeuvre: Million Tree Seed
Soup: Chameleon's Tears
Fish Dish: Mitarashi Kelp
Meat Dish: Survival Bug
Main Course: Billion Bird
Salad: Princess Straw Grain
Dessert: Dry Melolon
Drink: Lord Roasted Mochi
....
If you didn't know the secret, even if you had these ingredients, you'd be at a complete loss. None of them were edible on their own.
Ichiryu's Full Course Menu wasn't for a single person—it was for the entire Human World—a combination recipe.
First, you plant the Million Tree seed.
Then, you drip the Chameleon's Tears into the soil, causing the seed to rapidly grow into a Million Tree.
Next, you plant the Princess Straw Grains and water them with the Lord Roasted Mochi. The Princess Rice would quickly grow. You would then cut the straw and place it on the Million Tree to form a nest, and place the Billion Bird egg inside to incubate.
Finally, when the egg hatched into a Billion Bird chick—you feed it the Mitarashi Kelp and the mature Survival Bug, which had been fed the Dry Melolon.
With these steps, the Full Course Menu was complete.
Then, by scaring it, you could make the Billion Bird lay eggs like crazy.
These eggs would hatch in an extremely short amount of time. This process would continue, making the Billion Bird an inexhaustible ingredient.
It was no wonder it was called the Billion Bird. If handled properly, this ingredient was a self-sustaining food source.
Not to mention the tens of billions of people in the Human World, even if there were hundreds of billions, or trillions, it would be enough to feed them.
Following the instructions, Yuuki made the nest and placed the Billion Bird egg inside.
After that, he sat next to the nest and waited.
....
"Chef Yuuki, do you need to wait here?"
Seeing this, Mansam and the others were a bit confused. The Billion Bird egg needed time to hatch, but there was no need to keep an eye on it here. They had surveillance here.
As soon as the Billion Bird hatched, they would be notified immediately.
"No, this is the most crucial step for a Special Preparation Ingredient. Accompany the ingredient, acknowledge the ingredient."
Yuuki said. This was the key to preparing the Billion Bird.
"Accompany the ingredient? Acknowledge the ingredient? What does that mean?"
Sunny asked with a puzzled look. He really didn't understand. Not only him, but the others didn't understand.
"Do you know? This Billion Bird egg is the last one in the world. When I found it, I was also very shocked."
"The Billion Bird went extinct hundreds of thousands of years ago. Among the many delicious foods—the Billion Bird is not considered delicious. It can only be considered a quite average."
"Even though the Billion Bird has super-strong reproductive ability, logically, it shouldn't have been left with only one egg. But the fact is, it was—"
"That's because this was the Billion Bird's own choice. It chose to go extinct because it was not recognized. But I found the last eggs."
"When I found it, I knew that this egg would carry hope. So I kept it by my side until now."
"An ingredient that has never been recognized—never been accompanied, and even chose to go extinct itself. This is the key to a special preparation ingredient, right?"
Ichiryu said.
As soon as these words were out, everyone fell silent. That's right, according to Ichiryu's description, the Billion Bird was very common, so common that others wouldn't eat it.
To the point where the Billion Bird had chosen to go extinct itself.
But now? Though the Human World was only in the initial stage of famine—and the ingredients had not been exhausted, the existence of the Billion Bird had become a lifesaver.
This contrast was really great. The ingredient that was despised to the point of self-extinction had now become a savior-like existence—
....
"What an incredible ingredient. Who would have thought that the Billion Bird had such a preparation method?"
At this moment, everyone had nothing to say. A group of people just stayed here. Only Mansam and Ichiryu needed to deal with various things, so they left first. The others remained here.
The Billion Bird was a respectable ingredient—so they stayed here to wait.
One day later, the Billion Bird successfully hatched.
This little thing was really ugly and cute. But its appearance was not a problem. For a pet, such an appearance was quite good.
After some feeding, the Billion Bird grew up. The adult Billion Bird was as tall as Komatsu.
And after being scared once, the Billion Bird began to lay eggs like crazy. These eggs hatched quickly. This process continued.
"This has become an ocean of Billion Birds. Someone should come and catch them!"
After Sunny said a word, the staff on the IGO's side also began to catch these Billion Birds.
....
Soon, a large number of Billion Birds were caught. These Billion Birds would be used to breed more Billion Birds. As for the first one, naturally, no one would think of eating it.
"Do you feel it, Billion Bird? This era is the most suitable for you. Your existence will be recognized by countless people."
Yuuki said, looking at the Billion Bird in front of him. Because of his company, the Billion Bird was very close to him now.
As Yuuki said this—the Billion Bird's expression changed. The Billion Bird had existed for thousands of years and had been despised for thousands of years, never getting any recognition.
But now, the Billion Bird had appeared in this era, destined to be recognized by countless people. Not to mention anything else—the people who had just come to catch the ingredients were like this.
Though the meat of the Billion Bird was not very delicious, that was in comparison to the ingredients of the gourmet era. The meat of the Billion Bird was much more delicious than ordinary chicken.
The people and other creatures in this world felt that it was not delicious, entirely because they were used to eating good things. But let a group of hungry people who had not eaten for a long time eat the Billion Bird—then this was the supreme delicacy.
As the Billion Bird's expression changed, its body began to change.
Soon, the originally small wings that could not fly suddenly began to grow, even expanding to a dozen meters. A pair of gorgeous wings, like a phoenix spreading its wings, directly flew up.
....
"IT'S DONE. A SPECIAL PREPARATION INGREDIENT, THE BILLION BIRD!"
Yuuki said with a smile, looking at the Billion Bird soaring in the sky. It was a pity that this was not a phoenix—or the gorgeousness of these wings would even surpass the Lightning Phoenix.
As the Billion Bird flew into the sky, soon, a pile of very special eggs fell down. There were patterns on the eggs that were constantly flowing.
And these eggs did not hatch directly.
Yuuki was very clear that this was a Special Preparation Ingredient.
The Billion Bird's egg in the original story had been put into his Full Course Menu by Toriko. At that time, everyone had also agreed.
After all, this was Ichiryu's legacy.
After sending off the first Billion Bird, the group returned to the IGO headquarters' restaurant.
Toriko appeared here.
"Toriko, you've finally recovered!"
Seeing that Toriko had recovered, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
....
After that, the group tasted the Billion Bird egg. After eating it, everyone except Ichiryu had their Gourmet Cells activated, and their hair and eyebrows grew long.
"OLD MAN, I PLAN TO PUT THIS INGREDIENT INTO MY FULL COURSE MENU. IS THAT OKAY?"
After eating, Toriko asked.
"I have no problem with it, but this ingredient was also discovered by Chef Yuuki, so you need to get his consent."
Ichiryu said with a smile. It would be best if his Full Course Menu could be included in Toriko's Full Course Menu. But Yuuki was the biggest contributor this time, so he needed to get Yuuki's consent.
"I don't mind. You guys can decide!"
Yuuki didn't collect the so-called Full Course Menu, so he naturally didn't care. In the end, this ingredient was put into Toriko's Full Course Menu.
....
After a meal, the group dispersed. The other Heavenly Kings still needed to continue to improve their strength. Toriko was going to find Komatsu.
Yuuki returned to Setsuno's side and stayed for a few days. After that, Yuuki contacted Master Jiro.
"Are you ready?"
Jiro naturally knew that Yuuki planned to prepare AIR, so he would go with him as planned. After all, once AIR was prepared, they could also eat it.
None of Acacia's Students had eaten any of the Acacia's Full Course Menu. The fact that their strength had reached this level is quite scary.
"I'm ready. We can set off now!"
Yuuki said.
This time, because Jiro was here, he brought Nono. After that, the group boarded the juvenile Giant Shell and headed for the Gourmet World—
Before leaving, Yuuki told Ichiryu his idea. Ichiryu had to deal with the affairs of the Human World, so he could not leave. But after learning that Jiro was in charge, he was also relieved.
He was very clear about how strong Jiro was. It was not a problem for him to temporarily suppress the Horse King, Heracles.
However, Ichiryu still told Yuuki that the ingredient was not yet fully mature.
To this, Yuuki did not think there was any problem. After arriving in the Gourmet World, he could collect more and ripen AIR—
AIR was not far from maturity. The ingredients in the Gourmet World were enough to ripen it.
