The steak was incredibly tender and completely loose; this allowed the steak to be fully infused with the sauce carefully prepared by Erina, and the meat itself was different from the edible meats of modern times-
This wasn't the taste of livestock, which belong to the weak.
This wasn't the taste of so-called fierce beasts that had been utterly crushed by humans for countless years.
Even crocodiles, a species that has thrived from ancient times until now, couldn't compare to this meat.
That wildness... that was the wildness of a former Earth overlord that ruled the planet for hundreds of millions of years, the Dragon Clan!
The wildness of this flavor was simply captivating!
Undoubtedly-this must be dinosaur meat!
And in Pickle's memory, Jaden could easily identify that this taste was the taste of the Triceratops, one of the overlords of the late Cretaceous period!
However...
Jaden's expression was a little strange.
Dinosaurs have been extinct for how many years? If a Triceratops was discovered now, it should be a super rare research material found in glaciers, similar to when Pickle was discovered in Baki.
Thinking of this, Jaden's expression became even stranger.
He originally thought that things like in Baki, where researchers got the corpses of Pickle and a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and while researching, the security guard suddenly felt like eating meat, so he just cut off a piece of Tyrannosaurus Rex meat and fried a steak-he thought such things only existed in manga...
And it would have to be a gag manga like Baki.
Otherwise, this rare dinosaur research material, even using a piece for research is a luxury... eating the meat, that would probably be even more wasteful than eating the meat of an endangered species!
But now Totsuki discovered the Triceratops carcass, and after an inspection, they actually chose to eat the meat...
If he were a researcher, his blood pressure would surely skyrocket right now.
While Jaden was thinking about these things, some gourmets in the distance had already begun to guess the type of meat.
"Crocodile... ugh, this is probably a new species of crocodile meat?"
"Not quite; I think it might be a new species of elephant or rhinoceros meat?"
In any case, they listed all sorts of things, both edible and inedible, in one go.
However, they were gourmets after all, people of experience, and they were guessing species with strong wildness or very large body sizes.
But the chefs of Totsuki, led by Kobayashi Rindou, kept shaking their heads.
All their answers were wrong.
Totsuki didn't actually expect anyone to guess the answer for this meat.
And there was a purpose for holding this event.
Because Kobayashi Rindou not only found the Triceratops carcass on that island-after requesting support, Totsuki personnel explored a part of the island, and they even discovered active herds of Triceratops and some small theropods and Ankylosaurids on the island-although most of the discoveries were Ornithischian dinosaurs, like the Triceratops, which are herbivorous dinosaurs, they also found a footprint that looked like a Tyrannosaurus Rex during the current exploration!
In other words, there might be a Tyrannosaurus Rex on that island!
And the relationship between Tyrannosaurus Rex and Ceratopsians is not simply predator and prey, but a relationship like an arms race.
A weak Tyrannosaurus Rex can only eat a weak Ceratopsian, but not a strong one.
Then, a weak Tyrannosaurus Rex has no room to survive, and a weak Ceratopsian has no room to survive. Both families only allow the strong to leave offspring, and they will slowly become stronger and stronger. Coupled with the confirmed gregarious nature of the Triceratops, and the discovery of quite a few ten-ton class Triceratops, if there is only one Tyrannosaurus Rex on the island, its living environment would be too harsh.
So, the preliminary prediction is that there are also quite a few Tyrannosaurus Rex on the island, which is why Totsuki slowed down the exploration speed of the island.
However, precisely because the number of dinosaurs on the island is quite large, Totsuki dared to bring back the carcass, research whether it was edible, and then hold such an event.
This event was just to attract attention.
As for the main purpose...
-Of course, Totsuki wants to capture dinosaurs.
However, their support team tried; ordinary tranquilizer guns couldn't penetrate the skin of most dinosaurs. Although specialized tranquilizer guns penetrated the skin, there was a problem with the dosage ratio of the drug.
Small theropods were captured, but Ceratopsians, and even Ankylosaurids, which are considered small among dinosaurs, haven't been captured alive yet.
After only a few attempts, Totsuki didn't continue trying. They simply bought the island and continued the exploration while also planning to use this event to stir up excitement, and then start recruiting excellent hunters worldwide to complete this task.
This was the purpose of the event.
So, as long as they use the reputation of these gourmets after the event to spread the news that Totsuki discovered dinosaurs, the next step would be dealing with other powers and recruiting hunters.
However, this was what Totsuki was thinking, but the gourmets were not so willing.
But their guesses were indeed all wrong. They thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what kind of meat this was.
Finally, one gourmet saw Jaden also eating with a strange expression, so he asked Jaden.
"Mr. Yuki, have you figured it out?"
His question to Jaden was not to cause trouble.
It was simply because Jaden was a Totsuki person, and Jaden's relationship with Erina-even a blind person could probably see it-so they just weren't willing to admit that no one could guess the answer, and wanted to use Jaden's mouth to save face.
-In short, they didn't want to wait for the official announcement.
Erina saw through their thoughts.
However, she was very clear that she hadn't told Jaden about this, so when she saw someone ask Jaden, she planned to speak up for him.
But before she could speak, Jaden opened his mouth with a smile.
"Dinosaur meat, and probably Triceratops meat."
Hmm!?
Hearing Jaden say this, most of the gourmets present didn't believe it at first!
They even thought Jaden was joking with them.
However, as Jaden said this, Kobayashi Rindou, who also thought Erina had probably told Jaden, spoke up.
"That's right, what everyone is eating is Triceratops meat~!"
With her announcement, the matter was completely confirmed.
Everyone else widened their eyes and fell silent-some people started quietly eating a few more bites.
Then they all planned to wait for Totsuki to explain the matter later.
Only Erina was looking at Jaden at this moment, a little surprised.
Only she knew-she definitely hadn't told Jaden.
Then...
-Why did Jaden know this was dinosaur meat?
And even know precisely that it was Triceratops meat... it couldn't be that Jaden had eaten dinosaurs before... that, that shouldn't be possible, right?
While Erina was surprised, Jaden also noticed her gaze and smiled at her now.
"Don't overthink it. I just happened to know, that's all."
Happened to know what dinosaur meat tastes like?
Erina still couldn't accept it.
However, she trusted Jaden very much, so if Jaden didn't want to say, she wouldn't continue to ask.
As the current head of Totsuki, after adjusting her mindset, Erina spoke to the gourmets waiting for an explanation.
"Since the answer has been announced, the first half of this event ends here-and then comes the second half of this event, which is what Totsuki intends to spread to the entire world through your influence."
That is...
"-Totsuki has discovered a Dinosaur Island!"
