with Toriko

' I wonder how aiko is doing...I haven't seen her in a while...is she out looking for ingredients? Or is she at home right now?' Toriko though as he dropped off his catch to tomu

" you okay Toriko? you seem quiet" tomu said

" I'm fine tomu" Toriko said 'maybe I should visit her when I'm done here' he though

As tomu looked at Toriko " is it about you're girlfriend aiko ?" As Toriko slightly blushed

" she's not my girlfriend! she's just a friend!" Toriko said as tomu didn't believe him

" yeah right Toriko a girl like her she's quiet the catch you should ask her out" tomu said as he smiled " I know just the place to take a girl like her"

A few moments later as Toriko was in front of aiko's house.

' this is where she lives now I just gotta knock on the door' Toriko though as he placed his hand up to knock but the door was opened as he stopped looking at Aiko as he froze Aiko wore a light pink sundress as her hair tied with a matching pink ribbon Toriko couldn't help but blush looking at her.

" Toriko-San!" Aiko said happily as she hugged him " it's so good to see you!"

" it's good to see you too Aiko" Toriko said " are you busy today?"

" no I was just going to look for you Toriko-San" Aiko said

' she was going to look for me? For what?'he though

" I though it might be nice to go for a walk together" Aiko said

" I have something better in mind" Toriko said taking out a white cloth.

A few minutes later

" toriko-San where are we going?" Aiko ask as she was blindfolded as she was holding a basket. As Terry was next to her.

" we're almost there Aiko" toriko said " just keep that on" ' I hope tomu was right about this place ' he though

" okay Aiko we're here" as Aiko took her blindfold off as her smile widen at his surprise.

" Toriko-San! This is amazing!" Aiko said " so many sunflowers! It's a whole garden of them! Different colors and sizes!" As she walked as Terry followed her as she smelled the flowers.

' I'm glad you like it Aiko' toriko though ' tomu said that this place is famous for the sunflowers and something else too I can't remember what the other part was' as he looked at aiko as she sat on the ground with a small bundle of sunflowers. ' she looks really happy' as he felt Terry nudge at him to go to aiko.

" what are you doing?" Toriko ask

" almost...and done!" As she held out a flower crown " when i was a kid I always love making one!" As she put it on her head as she smiled making Toriko blush a bit. " so how does it look?"

" you look really nice aiko" he said as she smiled

" Oh Toriko-San I brought a basket with me so we could have lunch" aiko said

" Yeah! I'm hungry!" Toriko said happily

As toriko set the blanket down as aiko set the basket taking out a lot of containers since she knew how big toriko's appetite is she made sure to make a lot of it.

" itadakimasu" the two said

" here I made a lot of riceballs" Aiko said showing different kinds of riceballs " each one are different combinations of flavors " as she picked one up " have a bite toriko-San" as she held it out to him
