Chapter 6

While thinking, he had already arrived in front of a slightly larger house, which could be considered luxurious compared to the surrounding houses.

The gap between rich and poor in Meteor City is also very large; the outer areas are generally slums, piled with a large amount of garbage.

The inner areas are all gorgeous houses and clean streets; only those with high status are qualified to enter.

This house was one he had recently taken down, snatched from the hands of a few strong men; it was a rare, decent house in the outer area.

Its geographical location is already close to the inner area, so it is not unreasonable to say it is at the level of the inner area.

As someone who has experienced a normal life, he could not stand living in a garbage dump, accompanied by cockroaches and mice.

Taking out the key, Luo Ge gently opened the door, his originally cold expression softening a bit, filled with a touch of warmth.

If he had basically felt nothing but bad luck since coming to Meteor City, then the Nidoran could be considered one of the rare joys.

The remaining joy was the two people in this house.

Opening the door, the decorations inside the house were clear at a glance.

The overall style was Western-leaning, and one could even see a slightly gorgeous chandelier on the ceiling, illuminating the living room brightly.

The house’s floor area is not large, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs.

Living room, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, and even a small open space outside, which also belongs to the scope of this house.

It is said that this house was initially built by someone with a decent status in the inner area for their illegitimate child.

Later, after several changes of hands, this house now fell into Luo Ge’s hands.

The slightly old door made a creaking sound with a gentle push, immediately attracting the attention of the girl on the sofa.

I saw a girl with a youthful face, about twelve or thirteen years old, sitting on the sofa.

The girl has medium-long pink-purple hair, tied behind her head with a rubber band, and is wearing somewhat old white clothes.

The whole person looks very fresh and capable, especially those azure eyes filled with indifference.

Her facial features are quite exquisite; it can be seen that she is a beauty in the making, just not yet fully grown.

It is exactly Machi, who has quite a lot of screen time in the original work; she has not yet joined the Phantom Troupe and is just a little girl.

Seeing Luo Ge appear, Machi’s eyes lit up with joy, becoming a bit gentler; she put down the thread in her hand, stood up, and said softly:

"You're back. You aren't hurt, are you?"

Hearing Machi care about whether he was hurt first, Luo Ge felt a warmth in his heart and smiled: "Don't worry, a complete victory."

"Not only am I not hurt, but I also brought back quite a few things."

Hearing this, Machi’s expression relaxed slightly, and she let out a breath; at this moment, she also realized.

Clearly, a closer look would reveal that Luo Ge had no injuries; what was the need to ask?

Seeing Luo Ge looking at her playfully, Machi bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth, and her fair face was stained with a blush.

However, Machi quickly adjusted her emotions, coughed twice, and said: "Ahem, it's good that you came back safely."

"Also, since you dealt with the shopkeeper, you should have brought back all the Jenny in the shop, right?"

Machi stared at Luo Ge, her fingers rubbing together in a gesture of money.

Perhaps because she grew up in Meteor City, Machi is relatively "greedy" for money and likes to save it up.

A bit like Nami in One Piece.

However, she has not yet developed to the extent of the original work; this is just the beginning.

Luo Ge didn't intend to correct her; liking to save money is not a bad thing, as long as it doesn't go overboard.

"Alright, alright, just keep it all there, little housekeeper."

Luo Ge took out the Jenny obtained from the shop, which is the common currency of the Hunter x Hunter world, and handed it to Machi.

However, this is Meteor City, where Jenny is not very circulated; people generally use the method of barter.

So Luo Ge didn't loot much from the shop, but there were quite a few other valuable things.

Machi also knew this, but she still only wanted Jenny and didn't intend to take anything else.

Machi didn't even look, directly putting the money into her pocket, turning her head away, and saying in a voice as weak as a mosquito:

"Get ready to eat; Shizuku has already prepared the meal, and we were just waiting for you to come back."

Housekeeper, huh...

Seeing this, Luo Ge didn't tease the little girl anymore and walked to the dining table after simply washing his hands.

At this time, another girl came out of the kitchen, carrying several plates in her hands.

The girl is about eight years old, shorter than Machi and Luo Ge, and has short, jet-black hair.

She has a pair of lively big eyes, and her purple-red eyes are slightly deep.

She is wearing a dark sweater; she is not yet as "stunning" as when she appeared in the original work.

And because she is still young, she is not yet wearing glasses.

It is exactly Shizuku, who, like Machi, is in the Phantom Troupe in the original work.

It’s just that neither of them has joined the Phantom Troupe yet.

The reason why the two of them live under the same roof as Luo Ge is that Luo Ge was in a coma when he first appeared in Meteor City.

As a result, they were discovered by Machi and Shizuku at the same time, and both of them thought this was their own "harvest" and refused to give in.

In the end, when Luo Ge woke up, he had inexplicably become the "joint property" of the two girls.

Luo Ge accepted this happily, but he always suspected that the two girls had picked him up because they saw his appearance.

However, since he has gotten to know them and even become close friends, he will also prevent the two from joining the Phantom Troupe.

Shizuku goes without saying; joining the Phantom Troupe in the original work was a much later matter.

Machi probably would have joined recently, but now with his participation, it naturally won't develop like the original work.

Luo Ge had asked about this these days, but it seems that Machi had only had a few encounters with certain individuals in the troupe and was not very familiar with them.

Far less than the deep friendship they had built over this month.
