116

Touzai Graph chief editor Mr. Nita tasks the Culture Department with a Global Food Tour feature. Ms. Mariko Niki joins, prompting Yamaoka to volunteer. After debating topics, Yamaoka and Ohara choose boar stew. Yamaoka’s friend Kissho Senkichi leads a hunt where a wild boar attacks, injuring Senkichi’s dog Koro nearly fatally. Editor Nita rejects the draft as too light and not focused on gourmet food. Yamaoka serves Nita wild boar stew, whose exceptional tenderness and flavor surprise him, leading him to praise Mariko’s work. Later, Mariko informs Kurita of her romantic interest in Yamaoka and proposes a fair competition.
