Mithri (Coco x Reader) [Toriko]

◈ Chapter 1: Gator ◈

Convincing Toriko went easier than you thought, as long he could have a bite of the Galala Gator. Gourmet Hunters are explorers devoted to discover new flavors as well as hunting down and capturing exotic ingredients. Currently, about three hundred thousand individual food stuffs in the world, and 2% of which hare said to have been discovered by Toriko.

He was a rising star in this Age of Gourmet, and it made you even more excited to get your hands on new ingredients with his help. If possible, of course. It was certainly a surprise for Toriko to see Komatsu and you waiting for him at the port, both changed into your explorer gears. It was a change from your white coat you wore in the kitchen almost 24/7.

"Whaaaat?! You kids are coming too?!" Toriko gaped.

"We are hardly kids, sir Toriko" you pointed out. "Same age as you"

"Y-Yeah...Sorry to impose...Boss's orders to study the Galala Gator in its natural habitat" Komatsu said.

"You do know where we're going, right? Well, you didn't know like people who have written their will, but I was wrong" the blue haired male shrugged, walking to a boat.

"I-I DON'T HAVE A WILL YET!!" you yelled at the same time with your friend.

"Yo, Tom! Sorry to bug you again" Toriko ignored the two of you to salute another man pulling the ropes to detach.

"You tell me!" huffed Tom, wearing a white cap that spelled the word 'Gourmet' on it. He was also wearing a white shirt with the drawing of a dragon at the back. "I can't keep dropping everything I'm doing to prep a boat for you!"

"Don't be cranky. How's the wife?"

"Spare me. She's fuming over the recent hike on the tax"

"Ooh, scary..."

Tossing his bag inside, Toriko walked over the ramp and climbed in the boat. Tom went silent for a moment, looking over his shoulder absently. He then smirked, his voice coming out mocking as he demanded:

"You've slimmed down, Toriko!"

"Huh? Nah! That's only cuz I just pooped" replied without shame the bulky hunter.

"Huh? What kind of dump leaves you 15 kilos lighter?!" Tom laughed hard.

"A 15-kilos dump"

"How many times did you have to flush that sucker down?! You're a riot, man!"
