Chapter 7: Times Flies Part 2 - 7
14 years it's insane that I had spent over 4 years in this world now and just one more year form now I would have a job, anyways I have been been taking it easy and not being as much training for hunting as of late mainly because as of right now I'm even stronger then beginning of series toriko
I don't know wether it's because of my appetite demon or another hidden gift from god but my growth is something not even I expected, I thought I would be luck to be as strong as beginning of series toriko if I constantly trained for 10 years but right now that I'm stronger then him it feels weird
But that's just in 4 years and I have a lot more growing to go through good thing for me I have a lot of time to quietly grow, anyways as of right now I have broken through my last wall until evolution which took a bit longer then I expected due to my ingredient this time around being a flyer
A small group of sky scums that basically ruled the many mountains around my town, although they mostly just stay in the mountains sometimes they come down and cause some problems so a couple times the town tried hiring a couple mercenaries and gourmet hunters
And as expected they all died though one of them did manage to kill one of them, still died in the end but hey he did something I guess, after that whole thing they stopped messing with the damn birds and everyone just tried to ignore them and make sure nothing too bad happen because of them
So yeah as of right now I'm just a couple good meals away from evolution, but I'm worried about what ingredient I could eat to evolve as I would need something as high quality as the jewel meat of an regal mammoth, now I have a couple of ideas of what I could potentially try it hunt but I'm definitely not strong enough for any of them
As for my skills disappointingly I still don't have stuff like instinct and my appetite energy is pretty much completely mastered in terms of control, I even made a new technique knife but I unlike toriko's knife I can change the shape of the knife and turn it into different knifes like a cleaver or a mezzaluna
I'm now 184 cm and basically a mountain of muscles similar to toriko and well that got even more attention and my dad even took me to a doctor to see if I had some kind of tumor or whatever that was making me taller, and as expected there was nothing going on with my body
My dad was very confused at first considering I was almost as tall as him and even more muscular but after a couple months he just decided to give up trying to figure it out and instead just accept it, which was good for me considering having you dad constantly staring at you even at home gets really annoying
I decided to stop playing sports at school considering it was barely keeping me active, when you can kick a ball from one side of an stadium to the other with barely the gentlest of movements what's even the point of playing, the coach basically begged me to stay but I had made my decision and it would just be a waste of time at this point

My 15th birthday was the biggest one to this day and I don't think any other birthday was ever gone top it, why you might ask? because I got a pet on this birthday and not just a cat or dog a fucking dragon, the strongest dragon species in fact a Derous
Of course my dad didn't get it for me it was directly from god, after my birthday celebration where my dad said that my present was gone take a while to get ready but said would be with it I went to my room and what I found was really weird
A giant 1.5 meters tall egg just sitting on my bed with a small letter next to it and an rectangular small metal object with a single button on it, the letter was a message for god congratulating me on my 15th birthday and said that the gift was a pet so I would always have a companion on my journey
It also explained that the rectangular thing was actually something I could use to check on the status of the egg and when it will hatch, as soon as I pressed the button a light blue square extended from one end of it and when I first saw that this little pet of mine was an derous I was quite happy and anxious
Happy because I thought that the dragon king was always the coolest out of the 8 kings and having one of its species as a pet would be so rucking cool, but also anxious because well how the fuck am I gone feed this thing, the dragon king was like 4000 meters in length and weighed 80 million tons
Not only that but he could crush mountains with his hands not even like his body his ducking hands, now how the hell am I gone feed something that was eventually gone be like that, even if it was a child it would probably eat as much as 10 families and god forbid if it was a picky eater
That would just be a chary on top of me being fucked, after worrying for a bit i though about it a bit more and realized something I was strong as shit, what the hell was I worried about if toriko who as of right now should be weaker then me can take care of a battle wolf another of the species that ruled the gourmet world, why couldn't I do the same
With my confidence reestablished I quickly ran to my base in one the mountains and planted the egg on a pillow, I looked at its status again and saw that it would hatch in 2 weeks so I should get ready for when it hatches by going on a cope, more high level hunts
After that whole thing my dad showed me my gift another trip to gourmet town but this time we would be visiting the top floor of the knife tower aka we're going to Zen Ou the most well known medical cooking restaurant in the world and the restaurant of the legendary chef Yuda
Turned out my dad was actually a friend of Yuda they both met a long time ago and bonded over there obsession with making their cooking as precise as possible, I mean it does kind of make sense for someone as famous as my dad to at lest know or be acquainted with someone in the top 100 chef rankings
But I didn't think he had not only met but also befriend the fucking legend Yuda himself, after a short trip we made it to gourmet town and just like last time not wasting anytime we went straight to the knife tower and when we arrived we were personally greeted by Yuda
The meal was so amazing I struggled to even describe it, my dad and Yuda were chatting while I continued to eat the mountain of meals that were already prepared for me, the food not only energized me even more then a normal meal but also jumped my gourmet cells to the absolute peak
Now I just need one incredibly high level ingredient and they would evolve, anyways after I finished the meals and my dad finished chatting I asked Yuda for an autograph which he gladly said yes to and we soon left the restaurant both our belly's fully satisfied
My dad also explained a bit more of his past with Yuda, apparently when they met Yuda was already an old man and he was just a young adult that had just gotten out of cooking university but still they managed to become quick friends and kept in touch even after parting ways
The next day we went back home and after a couple days the egg hatched, unlike many other fantasy dragons Derous didn't have scales and instead relied on their incredibly compact muscles which even as babies put many bodybuilders to shame and were strong enough to shrug off missiles
And some are even naturally strong enough to take nukes on, that's right this little baby was already strong enough to destroy a city and he would and could only go higher, but that doesn't matter right now as this little guy sees me as his guardian and was hungry as hell
So being the good parent I was I feed him as much food as he wanted until he was completely satisfied, anyways after hatching him I began taking care of him, it was quite easy for me as I had experience taking care of pets due to my cat in my previous life, actually I wonder how he's doing hope he's not getting fat
My sister did have a habit of over feeding him a bit, oh yeah I completely forgot to mention that I did mange to get the job and quite easily at that, when you have skills on par with the head chef as well as the fact you know the 2 most important people in the restaurant you tend to do this stuff easily
Most of the chef's already knew me but they were quite doubtful of my skills in the kitchen and kept asking about them but they stop asking once I actually started cooking, I do have to say though I did want to graduate early but I was told I would first need to go to 10th grade before I could take that test
