Chapter 112: Every Restart
"Oh! So annoying!!"
In a room within an abandoned building, Gon emitted a type of aura and shouted.
It was noisy, but perhaps because they thought it was pitiful to force him to suppress his anger even though he was a passionate type, Killua and Sora let him be until he was satisfied. Then, each of them recounted what had happened while the others were away.
As for Sora, Kurapika had woken up once but immediately fell back asleep. She said his fever had dropped significantly and was now only a mild fever.
As expected, it was a story unrelated to Killua and the others, so I decided not to tell it. Be smart.
However, for some reason, he specifically mentioned that he was promoting the third Hunter Exam, so Killua ended up feeling a little sympathy for Kurapika.
Killua contacted Battera as planned, telling him the player recruitment screening was on the 10th, but he did not tell him that he had run into the Phantom Troupe at the Auction.
Just as Kurapika had read, the Phantom Troupe prioritized banishing the commander and had no intention of harming him for the time being. For Sora's sake, I would very likely do something unreasonable to try to lower my own power, so I kept my mouth shut to avoid being distracted by their presence.
Although they had hidden some things from each other, the information exchange had ended, and Gon's dissatisfied cries were repeating the same content; it was time for both of them to calm down and stop.
"Gon, I know you're unhappy, so calm down."
"Yeah, yeah. Come on, that beard has meaning."
Gon pouted at Killua's remark and asked: "What's going on?"
He seemed annoyed by what Tsezgera had said to him, which was a rare sight for him, and Killua replied as if to soothe the understanding of "we are weak" that had been said to him.
"Don't snap at me. We've been doing 'Material' and 'Ryu' all day, right? I think it's time to consider the next step."
"The next stage?"
"'Departure', in other words, special recruitment."
However, the overly obedient Gon was surely attracted by the term "special move," and his expression instantly changed from disgust to brightness; he turned to face Killua, making Sora smile.
However, when Killua spoke, the light in his eyes suddenly turned into sadness.
The "special move" in "Nen" is Equivalent Exchange. I remembered the fact that you must always bear a risk worth the reward.
"Kurapika learned Nen at about the same time as us. Even so, with his special move, he was able to stand on equal footing with the squad!... Of course, because of this move, Kurapika took on a great risk. Besides that, there was the activation condition of the scarlet eyes, and the reaction after using it made me fall asleep."
After speaking, Killua glanced at Sora, and Sora saw what he was worried about and replied with a puzzled look.
"You don't need to worry. I don't know much about her ability, but I know she is betting her life."
"Do you know me!? Or rather, even if you know, why don't you know your ability!!"
"Because when I met Kurapika before Yorkshin, there were several lines and dots around that child's heart. Although I know nothing about her ability, that girl bet her own life and vowed to plant something in her heart. Even if you don't like it, I understand."
About half a year after learning of the existence of "Nen" and starting Cultivation, Kurapika, who had gained enough power to rival the Phantom Troupe, had enhanced his ability through Contract and restriction. I already knew, but when you know his "death" vow, you think Sora won't be hurt; even if you are angry, you are doing something specific for Sora, not for Kurapika. Although I had blurted out a sentence and gone out without saying anything, such concern is meaningless.
Killua shouted: "You're as dirty as ever!"
"Although you noticed, Sora didn't say anything, and you didn't do anything?"
When Sora discovered that Kurapika's life was at stake, she scolded him: "Why would you do such a stupid thing!?" No matter how difficult it was, Gon felt that doing nothing and ignoring it was surprising.
However, I soon realized that Sora's answer was not surprising.
"I did not acknowledge Kurapika's cause of death; other than old age, it doesn't matter if I risk my life or not."
At first, Gon and Killua's faces were a bit numb, but they gradually understood the meaning of what she said so naturally.
That is to say, this woman would not let anyone kill Kurapika, not even Kurapika himself.
Of course, if she had made up her mind long ago, probably from the moment he asked for "help," even if Kurapika risked his life as a vow, what Sora did would not change.
However, from the perspective of her being determined to protect him from all harm, it would be troublesome to scold her later and then start hiding cleverly, so she said nothing.
I just didn't kill Kurapika because I thought Kurapika wouldn't take such risks as he does now, rather than taking steps that could pierce Kurapika's heart, and not just in case.
Gon and Killua's only reaction to their continued overprotection, rather than crazy devotion, was a vague, awkward smile.
Gon and the others stopped talking about Sora and Kurapika and continued to talk about their ability development, because they felt that if they delved deeper into this story, it would become a story far less overwhelming.
"... Well, first of all, you have to bear heavy rules to gain powerful strength."
"We can't do that."
On the other hand, if the risk is too light, you can't use amazing abilities, so it won't be too heavy or too light; it should fit your system and be practical and effective! Think about such an ability!"
"Hey. That's right."
However, the topic that had been brought back was quickly dismissed.
Although it was a ruthless blow, Sora was not wrong. Killua's ability was certainly ideal, but in reality, such a miraculously balanced ability did not exist.
Killua certainly knew this too, but perhaps because he was annoyed by being so ruthlessly and directly denied, he pouted his lips and glared at Sora.
Perhaps because Sora knew her direct reaction was a bit too ruthless, she apologized with "Sorry, sorry," and then corrected their misunderstanding, which was mainly due to Kurapika and Sora herself.
"Indeed, without restrictions and promises, Nen Ability is not enough."
"But it is a mistake to think about abilities based on rules. Instead of thinking about abilities based on the weight of the rules, it is better to think about what kind of ability is good, and then set the rules."
"First of all, Contract and restriction are not only for enhancing abilities, but can also be used to prevent one's own emotions from being weakened, so abandon the idea that powerful abilities just mean heavy rules."
"? Prevent emotions from weakening?"
"What do you mean?"
Kurapika, as well as Sora's Gem Sword, had many rules to use, so Gon and Killua were both bound by the stereotype of enhancing Nen abilities. I didn't understand the meaning of Sora's words and asked back.
Sora answered this question with an example.
"Even in ordinary fighting, you can't really hit someone you like, but you can hit someone you don't like hard, right? It can be said that Nen Ability is the heart of the person who possesses the ability. Emotions often reflect the accuracy of the ability."
"Therefore, for example, suppose Leorio becomes a doctor and can heal wounds just by touching them. As a doctor, it is natural that you don't like or dislike a patient, but this disguise does not apply to Nen Ability. Even if it works well on people you like, if it takes a long time to heal the scratches of an annoying patient, your credibility as a doctor will drop."
"In this case, a restriction of 'closing your eyes when touching the affected area' is fine. It is a small enhancement, but if you don't look at the face of someone you like or dislike, you can treat them equally, so you can heal to a certain extent. Depending on the situation, not following the rules can be an enhancement."
"With Leorio's personality, no matter how annoying the patient is, if they are really in a bad state, he will want to help them seriously and treat them, so at that time you should open your eyes and treat them. Then, the feelings of the person who says 'I want to help, I want to heal' will be reflected in their ability, and they will be able to heal stronger and faster than when treating with eyes closed."
"Do you understand? Instead of using complex rules and heavy costs to raise the upper limit of ability accuracy, you can also use simple rules to raise the minimum value."
"So put aside the rules you impose on your abilities for now. First, think about what kind of ability you want to create, no matter how ridiculous it is. Then consider the rules to be imposed to make this ability reach the level you want."
"Don't get the order wrong. Contract and restriction can be adjusted later, but the basic ability is not so easy to change, so if this doesn't suit you, you will end up like Kastro in the Arena."
Since the target person in the example matched the hypothetical ability, both Killua and Gon were easily persuaded, exclaiming, "I understand."
However, once again, when Gon was told to consider his own ability, his face stiffened; one could tell his thoughts had short-circuited to the point where he could hear crackling within a few seconds.
"Um... that won't happen. I'm sorry."
Seeing Gon so short-circuited, Killua froze, and Sora apologized with a wry smile.
Because Gon was a cool-headed and unconventional thinker, he seemed not to know what to think or do if told he could truly do anything without restrictions.
So, first, Sora suppressed the scattering of thoughts and let Gon start taking action.
"First, let's decide one by one. It doesn't have to be specific at the start; begin with the surrounding area, such as whether it's main offense or main defense."
"If that's the case, then I'd rather be a main offensive player."
"Then, regardless of your lineage and Nen Ability, remember the fighting style you excel at, and think about how to incorporate it into your 'Nen' to sublimate it into an ability."
"Since this guy is an Enhancer, isn't it enough as long as he can enhance and improve his own physical abilities?"
With Sora's clues and Killua's Suggestion, Gon's vision of the ability he desired became more or less concrete, but he didn't know what to do next, and Gon's thoughts began to short-circuit again.
Just as Killua said, enhancing and improving his own physical abilities instead of setting a specific, poor ability would not only increase attack power but also defense, and it would be useful outside of combat with many applications. It seemed like it would work and was therefore ideal, but Gon didn't know the difference between "enhancing and improving physical fitness" and "wearing" and "Training."
In a sense, Gon had reached the answer long ago, because the result didn't change at all.
However, for Gon, who was told in the current "Training" that "you'll die if you just think about it," the answer was to declare the 10-day exam hopeless.
Wanting to enhance and improve Gon's physical abilities more than they were now was impossible without increasing the total amount of Aura itself, but that was not something that could be done overnight. By continuously and steadily "wearing" and "kneading" Aura, the refined amount and total capacity would increase, so to improve the level in a short time, a heavy vow like Kurapika's was needed.
But only in this way could Gon's comprehensive physical fitness be improved.
Sora knew that if one only specialized in a part of attack power, there was no need for vows and restrictions; applying the basic four major techniques was enough.
Sora said nothing, though she knew that if he used "Hard" to collect and amplify all the Aura in a part of his body, Gon would combine with the system and become a tremendous power that could be used in actual combat.
Because Nen Ability is the mind itself, confidence and feelings are important.
If Sora taught him the existence of "Hard," he wasn't good at thinking, but if put into practice, he was too good at learning, so he would master it immediately; but that was because he thought it was a technique learned from Sora and it didn't count as his own ultimate move.
If the basic technique was regarded as "borrowed goods" as an enhancement ability, even if a technique with further applications was created, the Root would be unreliable and could collapse due to something. Being able to bring out his own power and create it with confidence from the bottom of his heart, she decided not to intervene anymore and turned to Killua.
"By the way, what about Killua yourself? Do you have an epiphany?"
"It has existed for a long time. That's why I'm keeping up with Gon's ability development like this."
"Really? What does that feel like!?"
Partly because his thoughts were already boiling, Gon gave up on thinking about his own ability and leaned in to bite at Killua's ability.
However, perhaps wanting to give Gon a surprise, Killua said nothing, calling it a "secret."
But when Sora tilted her head and asked, "Me too?", Killua turned away and said, "... I haven't tried it yet, so I can't guarantee it will work. So...", but eventually gave permission, saying, "... Fine, I need a Suggestion, so take a look." No matter how you looked at it, such a long excuse wasn't that he didn't want to show his ability, nor that he didn't want people to know, but that he didn't want to show it if anything went wrong and it looked uncool, because he was still at the stage of coming up with ideas; that was nothing more than an excuse.
Despite the complete lack of his usual honesty, Sora smiled and calmed down; it was easy to understand.
Killua's worry was groundless, saying, "I don't want to show you the uncool parts." This woman didn't know what kind of ability Killua would create, but she could only think that he would succeed.
Killua's ability gave the impression of being "too amazing!"
Killua also inexplicably noticed this, feeling happy, pressured, or embarrassed, while trying to deceive Sora's urging with "Yes, yes," as if deceiving Gon's face.
"Hmm. So, starting today, I'm going to do Training for special moves."
"Well, take your time to think about what kind of ability you're good at. Maybe I'll be the only one to pass the exam on the 10th."
Gon was too curious and needed a long time to concentrate, so if he didn't threaten him like that, he would soon go off track, so Killua cleverly mobilized his best friend to focus on his Training.
"
I knew this was the same as Killua, but perhaps this sentence reminded me of Tsezgera's words and sneering eyes, "I can do it alone!" The two saw this, laughed, "Do your best," and left the room.
After moving to the next room, Killua first tried the "ability" he had thought of on Sora.
Seeing what I had taken out for this purpose, Sora opened her eyes wide and said, "Hmm?"
Killua took out a Stun Gun.
As expected, Sora knew just by looking, but it wasn't for self-defense; it was illegally modified and possessed power that was no joke. Not knowing if it was brought from home or bought elsewhere, Killua saw Sora freeze and smiled slightly, then turned on the Stun Gun.
Then, while holding it, he first took a deep breath, adopted a comfortable posture, and performed "Ryu" as it was.
As if immersed in warm water similar to his own body temperature, Killua slowly raised his dangling hands...
(The image of fusing my own Aura with electricity!!!)
I didn't hesitate to press the Stun Gun against my left arm.
He held the Stun Gun against himself for several minutes. Then, when I felt that the amount of electricity had accumulated to a certain level, I removed the Stun Gun from my arm and turned off the power.
(Next time... I'll think about releasing all the stored energy at once!!)
And this time, I radiated Aura from my whole body, remembering the power and pain from just now.
Imagining myself as a battery, with my arms and fingertips as wires, when Killua gently put his fingertips Together, then slowly separated them...
It was for an instant, but there was no doubt that sparks flew, and visible electric current passed through it and was released.
"Amazing, Killua! Is this really your first time trying!? You succeeded in one go!!"
Sora, who had been silently watching Killua's sudden self-inflicted act, saw this scene and let out an innocent, shrill sound.
This woman didn't think Killua would fail at first, but even so, seeing him ecstatic, not expecting that his success was a matter of course, Killua still felt something in his heart. As expected, he couldn't show honesty, saying, "I collected so much money, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Sora smiled at Killua:
"Killua"
Killua realized that Sora's smile had changed from that of a child younger than himself to a smile much more mature than her actual age, and Sora hugged her.
"Teeth?"
Killua couldn't understand Sora's consistent, twisted movements and froze after finishing his sentence.
Taking this opportunity, Sora continued to hug Killua.
Just as Killua himself said, he intended to use up the power charged by the Stun Gun in an instant, but since it was the first time developing an ability, many unexpected situations might occur.
This wasn't ordinary electricity, but a type of Aura that had turned into electrical properties, so Killua's body was very likely still carrying electricity. And although Sora knew it might be more dangerous than the power of Killua's Stun Gun, not at the level of static electricity, Sora still hugged Killua without hesitation, pulled his head, and while stroking it, said it again.
"You are amazing."
"!?
Killua, finally understanding what he was doing, roared with a red face and tried to escape from Sora's embrace, but before he could break free, Sora continued his words.
"You are an amazing child. So please do not forget me."
A gentle voice echoed from Sora's lips directly to Killua's earlobe.
While affirming Killua, Sora held Killua and pointed out Killua's mistakes.
"Wounds are not meant to be endured. Pain is meant to be complained about."
Hearing this, Killua stopped resisting.
I didn't understand what you were saying. I don't understand why he would say such things in such a position just now.
However, even without Sora's plea, I don't want to forget those words.
"You are an amazing child, capable of turning wounds and pain into your own strength.
Even if I can help you like that one day, a wound is absolutely a wound. So please do not forget and lose the voice that screams 'it hurts'."
Killua's Nen system is a Transmutation system. It is a system specialized in changing the properties of Aura, turning the nature of the Aura itself into offensive "electricity," which is similar to Gon's Suggestion of "strengthening and improving physical fitness." I thought it was a good ability that could be applied because it is simple.
This is why I decided to use "electricity" as an ability.
... And the reason why such an idea came about is because "electricity" is too familiar.
If it were just converting his Aura into electric current, Killua would not actually need to hit himself with a Stun Gun.
To him, the image of "electricity" could not be more familiar; when asked to do it, he could think of it immediately, so he should be able to change the nature of his Aura into electricity just by imagining it.
However, using a Stun Gun to "Recharge" is to make the image clearer, and the rule that "only electricity that has been recharged can be used for the ability" is incorporated into the rules to improve the accuracy of the ability.
There is another way to improve Killua's ability accuracy.
Just like Sora's Gem Sword.
His ability improves with the damage he receives.
Unlike Poison, electric shocks and torture are not truly neutralized. It just raises the threshold of endurance beyond human limits, and the pain never disappears.
All I can endure is terrible pain.
His home, the environment he grew up in, made him feel that his abnormal pain was killing Killua for the sake of his power.
This person himself is the one who knows it the least.
Sora knows this. Although he noticed the most cruel ability of hurting himself, he still affirmed it as "amazing."
Neither his home nor the environment he grew up in would deny Killua. While affirming everything, I will only tell you one mistake.
I hope everyone will not forget that even if you can endure it, it is absolutely a "wound" and "pain."
Killua answered this request.
When he stopped resisting, the Stun Gun he was holding in his hand dropped, and his empty hands were placed on the back of the person wrapping around him, and Killua hugged Sora and said:
"............ It hurts"
"Yes."
Appeal.
"It hurts.
"Yes."
I hugged Sora and told him about the pain that had troubled me for a long time. Taking action.
Despite the pain, Killua held what he got from his wounds in his arms, and while confirming it was right here, he appealed.
"It hurts, but... that is why I will never let you go. This is what my ability power is.
I want to stay here, so no matter what others say, no matter what kind of eyes I see, I will not let you go."
An unusual house, an abnormal environment, because I was born and raised there, I know I met him, I know what I am now. I swear I won't.
Responding to Killua's vow, Sora stroked his head once more, as if praising him.
"You are a good child."
Praising all of his pain.
***
Setting up a "strengthening and improving physical fitness" ability is fine, but how can it be completed more than the current ten levels, to the extent of passing Tsezguerra's assessment, what kind of restrictions are there? Not knowing whether to wear it or not, Gon groaned while holding his head that was about to turn into short hair, and repeatedly got angry when he remembered Tsezguerra's words.
"You people will only die in your own thoughts..."
(Of course, I will return it)
In that single-minded way, Gon amplified his Aura as much as possible.
"You are very enthusiastic, Gon."
"! Kurapika!! Are you ready?"
I don't know how much time had passed, Kurapika had been asleep for two whole days, but it was still pitch black.
"Oh, my fever has gone down. Don't worry about me. I'm fine now."
"Yes..."
Gon nodded at Kurapika's words, but still looked at his face.
Dark circles and pale complexion. No matter how you take it, it doesn't look like it's getting better.
But this is the physical aspect of things.
His face was pale, but the expression on his face was calm.
Mentally, at least for now... as long as Sora was by his side, Gon definitely didn't have to worry, and he smiled.
"That's good, but don't overdo it. If you overdo it, Sora will cry and get angry."
"I understand. Or rather, why is he overprotective of others when he can't do anything himself?"
"If it were Sora, I think he would be in the next room watching Killua's training."
"By the way, since you are here, let's talk later..."
While chatting with Kurapika, Gon was thinking about how to get Sora and Kurapika to stay in the abandoned building for a while.
No, you don't have to stay in this abandoned building. If they both left Yorkshin immediately, that would be best for Gon personally, even though it would be sad.
It is much better than them both discovering that the Phantom Troupe is still around.
Kurapika's desire for revenge against the Phantom Troupe might not have disappeared, but its priority is much lower. However, to protect Sora from being stolen, the small team cannot fight alone.
Just as Sora made the Phantom Troupe oppose Kurapika for Kurapika's sake, if Kurapika knew the Phantom Troupe was still here, he would push his body and mind to reduce the danger threatening Sora. Because he knows he would take action to eliminate them, at least he wants him to know nothing about the Phantom Troupe until his health is restored, and Gon has already short-circuited with his own Nen Ability development, overloading again.
Just like that, although Kurapika was kind-hearted, he did not realize that he was about to be stopped by his comrades with all their might, asking about the Auction.
"By the way, how is the southern Auction?"
"Yes."
Kurapika is much smarter than himself, but he didn't notice, so naturally, it was impossible to easily come up with a way to stop him, so I decided to consult.
However, to be honest, Kurapika's method of Nen Ability development and training cannot help much.
Gon's lineage and Kurapika's lineage are almost completely opposite; Kurapika decided from the beginning what kind of ability was good, so Gon still has a vague idea of what his ideal ability should be. There is no way to refer to it.
First, although Kurapika's current training method is longer than Gon and Killua's, it is also to gain enough power in a short time to compete with the Phantom Troupe, so his training is likely as unreasonable as Kurapika's, to the point that even people with transformation abilities would not want to refer to it. Gon misunderstood the person he asked in many ways.
However, after talking to him, a good idea with the purpose of "stopping Kurapika and Sora here" appeared, and Gon leaned in to suggest it.
"Kurapika, be my master!"
"Hmm?"
"Even if I cultivate alone, I won't make much progress. Killua is doing special training in secret, and Sora probably only teaches me the bare minimum.
If it were Kurapika, I believe he would accurately point out the problem!"
The story of Kurapika's training method didn't help, but Gon's words and reasons for wanting Kurapika to be his "Nen" master were not lies.
As I said, when I am alone, I don't even know where I am going. Gon hopes he can guide him and correct his course.
However, the real intention is that, at least while the Auction is ongoing, not only Kurapika but also Sora can be trapped in this abandoned building.
Gon believes that if Kurapika can be stopped, Sora will automatically stay here, without any room for doubt.
"Sorry, I can't do that."
However, Gon's expectation was immediately dispelled by Kurapika.
"Because my boss has finished the Auction and is going home."
"! So you are leaving Yorkshin?"
"Oh, tomorrow too. I have been looking for Sora to tell you."
However, as a result, things developed in the direction Gon wanted.
"The Phantom Troupe is regrettable, but it has been two days, and they are already gone.
First of all, the eyes of friends... because this is the first decision."
It seems that Kurapika does not think the Phantom Troupe is still participating in the Auction, but is looking for an abolitionist who can get rid of his feelings for the commander. No wonder.
What's more, the Auction site is Phinks and Feitan, who are hardliners who want to kill Gon and take Sora hostage to get the Leader back. How could they be here?! How is the process of finding an abolitionist? When I met them, I was just curious about Gon and Killua.
Then, when Gon asked the question that really caught my attention with his usual frankness, the other party answered unexpectedly easily.
The reason he came to the Auction instead of looking for the deserters is that Pakunoda, who returned after the hostage Exchange was completed, showed him a memory again, seeing the fluctuation of the Goddess state... that is to say, seeing the Goddess only she could see, "I thought it would be difficult without us for a while."
Of course, we all know these words are not necessarily true.
I know this may be because of the deserter hint at that Auction, but looking at Phinks' distant eyes and the eagerness when Feitan said "Thank you for your hard work," I think this impression itself is the true intention.
The Leader, who was fascinated by the Goddess who disturbed them so much, seemed a little annoyed.
Anyway, the Phantom Troupe will not come to take revenge on Kurapika for the time being, nor will they come to hunt down the Goddess sleeping deep within Sora, and Kurapika will leave this place without knowing that the Phantom Troupe is still in Yorkshin. Then, from Gon's point of view, complaining is meaningless.
So I just asked, without complaining.
"Then what about Sora? Are you going with me?"
Kurapika didn't quite understand Gon's question, tilted his head and replied: "No, she has nothing to do with my work."
But Gon looked straight at Kurapika and replied.
"Isn't there something Kurapika has that Sora is not involved in?"
Gon's clear words made Kurapika's pale complexion turn pale.
"... Don't say things that an idiot would say.
Besides, my employer is a Human Collector. Putting aside the fact that I can cover the color of my eyes with contact lenses, Sora's appearance is a dream gem in the eyes of such people, even if her eyes were removed. If we are together, she will be more dangerous."
Kurapika looked away from Gon and explained why he couldn't be with Sora.
Indeed, Gon's words two days ago made him want to find his companion's eyes with Sora, but he did not forget the danger of exposing her to Human Collectors, so he just wanted to be with him. I can't just ask her for help.
In Senritsu's story, there is some hope that the employer will realize the sins she has committed and reformed, but Kurapika cannot imitate her meeting Neon on this point; it is just a faint expectation. There is none.
I am thinking about finding my friend's eyes with her, but now is not the time. Kurapika thinks he needs at least a little more power, Nen Ability, and social power so that even if he is by her side, she will not be in danger, so Kurapika chose to leave Sora for the time being.
"There is no such thing."
However, Gon denied Kurapika's choice.
After making it clear, Gon continued his words.
I really wanted to tell Sora, but I said some things I couldn't say because I felt it would be troublesome to say them in front of Killua.
"I think Kurapika and Sora should always be together and should never be separated."
"Wait a minute, Gon! What did you hear from Sora, Leorio, or Senritsu!?"
Let me tell you, it's not the same! It's just what you said, there is no deep meaning, and there is no deep meaning! Because it's different! I didn't mean that yet!!"
However, Kurapika blushed at Gon's words, grabbed Gon's shoulder and questioned him, insisting: "Not yet."
Pushed by that momentum, Gon was a little confused and asked back: "Ah? What are you talking about?" Leorio, who was eavesdropping while insisting, realized that it was not because he heard "a too positive proposal, but a disguise as a denial," so he blushed even more, lowered his head, and let go of Gon's hand. "... Nothing," he replied.
Even though something had happened and I was quite worried, I knew that even if I asked him, he wouldn't answer, so Gon gave up on solving the problem and returned to the original topic.
"Hmm... I don't know why Kurapika thinks that way, nor do I know what he said, but I have always believed this, and with this Phantom Troupe, the two of us should absolutely be Together forever. Because I want to..."
After all, Kurapika and Sora love each other so much that they put the other before themselves, which is also the reason why they are unreasonable. However, because we love each other, we honestly listen to the other's word "stop," and when we are in front of each other, we don't want to be unreasonable or sad, so we won't do anything unreasonable.
This is the reason why you two are unreasonable, but it is also the brake that stops unreasonable things, so it is better for Kurapika and Sora to be Together.
Kurapika's blush faded slightly at Gon's words; he turned back to look at Gon with a puzzled expression, then smiled. With a light smile, he answered.
"Of course, if we are Together, we can suppress some of the unreasonableness and recklessness, but that is completely impossible."
"Rather, this time... in the battle with the Phantom Troupe, Sora used synergy to do the most unreasonable thing ever, didn't he?"
"A..."
Gon thought of a way for the two of them to take care of each other without being overly unreasonable; the answer Gon got was that Kurapika was fine, but Sora was too unstoppable no matter what. Pointing out that it wasn't there, Gon kept silent.
However, although Kurapika recalled things that made him feel helpless, his smile remained calm.
Kurapika chuckled and said.
Sora's recklessness.
What does Sora want, what does he want, what does he want, what is he being so unreasonable to grasp?
I remember her struggle.
"Even if I am here, that magical idiot won't be reasonable."
"I hope my hands are not stained with anyone's blood... In order not to carry a 'Death God' other than myself, that big idiot has to dirty his hands."
This wish is no longer fulfilled.
Even so, Sora will struggle.
Kurapika's hands are dirty, because that is the blood of only one person.
Even if Kurapika himself voluntarily gives up his rights, he will not bear anything other than "death," and "death" is what he decided to be responsible for.
Because she is always scratching. Because I will scratch you off.
This is the reason why Kurapika wants to struggle.
"Gon. I'm sorry, not just that idiot, but I'm sure I will do unreasonable and irrational things that will make you sad."
"But I will do those unreasonable and irrational things, not for revenge or compensation, but to survive... and live a happy life from now on... Therefore, I think I will struggle."
In order to survive, even if I survive and return to the farthest end, I swear to believe in the future and fight even further.
"I see... yeah... yeah, in order to survive, if it's just struggling, there's no other way... it's a promise."
"Ah. Right. I... humans, we will eventually reach the end, the grand finale, I must work hard to get there."
This is what the Goddess hoped for; although she could do nothing but keep giving up, she still fulfilled so many wishes.
This is the reason why Kurapika struggles so hard.
And Gon is also struggling.
For my dream, for the dream of meeting the person I want to meet, I continue to fight against every Obstacle whose goal I cannot see now.
Kurapika ends the story by helping Gon, who is stuck in a dead end, so that his struggle will not be in vain.
"So, Gon's teacher is also better than me, right? You should discuss it with that person."
"A..."
This point of Kurapika's made him think of someone suitable for Gon's trouble, so much so that he didn't understand why he had forgotten him until now.
Finally, Gon was able to stand on the starting line he wanted.
September 7th.
In the airport lobby, Leorio appeared on the front page of the newspaper as the billionaire Battera's G. I. player. When I read the article about hoarding, I muttered: "Where there is money, there is money."
"But doing something like this means it's not just a game after all."
"Oh. I want to do my best."
Sora, who had been watching the same article from behind, responded to Leorio's monologue and refused. I regret participating. Sora usually likes games, so even if he isn't worried about Gon and Killua, entering the game seriously is relatively dangerous for him, so he seems frustrated because he cannot participate.
By the way, there is still a reason to regret it.
"Why do I immediately leave everyone I meet and accept his request... ah, now."
"What are you going to do to your client?"
The reason why Sora cannot participate in G. I., and the reason I miss it most, is that since the beginning of September, a request for abandonment in my family code has appeared in the Phantom Troupe in Yorkshin.
This is the request from the person Sora most wants to refuse, but since the content of the request is something this kind person cannot ignore, he finally replied today that he would accept the job, even though he hated it from the bottom of his heart.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the content of the request is a persistent embarrassment that has already caused so much damage that Sora cannot ignore it. The master also said: "As soon as possible, but not now." Sora said he intends to stay here until the player exam, but he will immediately go to the requester to learn more about their success or failure.
But Sora feels that if he doesn't do it, no one else can help him, so he has already given up on the fact that he doesn't like this job and is instead taking the meeting with the client seriously. He is more serious than Leorio crying.
Sora has a strong sense of disgust, because he even wants to commit suicide against Illumi, so he almost doesn't hate it. As far as Leorio knows, the only person who doesn't like Sora is Hisoka, so he asked because it is normal to be curious about someone who dislikes Sora just like Hisoka, but unfortunately, Leorio did not give that answer. Missed the chance to hear it.
"Sora. Leorio."
Just as Sora was about to answer, Kurapika and Senritsu, who had finished boarding procedures, called out.
"Then I'll go right away."
"Is it really okay? Keep it a secret from the two of us."
"Gon will definitely be disappointed."
"Ah. Now, you two are Training every second after all. Please tell me, we will meet again."
As I said yesterday, Leorio and Sora came to see them off after they decided to return to their employer, slightly blaming Gon and Killua for leaving without a word, but Kurapika was one of them. He insisted that he could not steal that time because he had the experience of spending every second wanting power.
Sora spread his hands silently with a helpless bitter smile.
And Kurapika grabbed that hand, blocking it.
"... What are you doing?"
"That's my line. What are you doing, you big idiot?"
"I've decided on a farewell hug! If we part like this, I won't die from the lack of Kurapika, but I won't be able to sleep!!"
"In that case, then endure it!!"
Kurapika shamefully refused and blocked Sora's hug; Sora tried to use his own aura to break free from the arm he had forcibly grabbed, and for a moment, too much offense and defense were exchanged on both sides.
By the way, Kurapika looked at Leorio and Senritsu with eyes that said "please do something about this idiot," but both of them were caught up in the interaction of the backup that was no longer this backup. I know I am the same as the idiot, so I ignored his look for help and talked about something on my own.
And in fact, the conclusion reached by Senritsu and Leorio was correct.
They continued their useless offense and defense for a while, but if Sora suddenly relaxed and looked at Kurapika with sad eyes, Kurapika would have no chance of winning.
"……Regardless?"
"………………If it's only for 30 seconds."
Originally, I just refused because I was embarrassed in public; I had no reason not to want to be hugged.
As proof, Kurapika seemed to have conceded, but the time he continued to hug was quite long.
Kurapika's words made Sora's face shine like a child's, and he lunged at her and hugged her.
I hugged him, carving his body temperature into my entire body so as not to forget everything about him.
"Kurapika, there are many things I want you to say, I want you to do, I don't want you to do, but they might all be things you want to say to me; I can't do it if I win, so I won't say them."
So don't forget this.
While hugging Kurapika, I brought my lips to Kurapika's ear and told her.
The sky-blue gem hanging by the ear entrusted to his wish.
"I hope Kurapika will be happy."
"No matter what happens, please don't forget, my only wish is that someone wants your happiness."
Although it was his own permission, Kurapika was hugged in public and was full of shame; although he might not have meant it, he blew a breath into his ear while speaking.
Even so, he still wrapped his arms around Sora's back and hugged her for a few seconds before answering.
"I cannot forget."
I swear I will never forget Sora's wish; no matter how much I am hurt, no matter what I throw away, I will never forget the wish I have always longed for to the point of clinging to God.
Even if I cannot forgive myself the most, even if I cannot get rid of the feeling that I am the only survivor who does not deserve happiness, Kurapika certainly wants to be happy; he cannot give up the dream of living a happy life from now on. Because I want to live with Sora.
So I answered that I would not give up Sora's wish, which affirmed my wish.
Sora, who left after a full thirty seconds, seemed satisfied with Kurapika's answer, let out a sigh of relief, and smiled especially happily.
He had a bright smile on his face, laughing and saying he had no context, but he had been thinking that if it weren't for that, it wouldn't have been possible even for a moment.
"I love you, Kurapika."
Kurapika's face turned even redder, and he was speechless.
Seeing this, Senritsu showed a bitter smile that she had long been accustomed to, while Leorio was already stupid enough to be jealous, with an annoyed expression on his face, as if saying: "Here we go again." And the irrelevant people around me simply said, "This is a couple... Explosion."
However, Kurapika was in a sorry state; he had no energy to pay attention to the gazes and the air around him.
Kurapika himself probably didn't know if this was lucky or unfortunate.
Although I have to say, although I know I will regret it forever, I am still very stubborn. He said in public what would happen.
"…………Wow…………Me too……."
"Hm?"
Kurapika's mosquito-like voice made Sora tilt his head.
I just tilted it without even asking back. That's why I was able to do something that hadn't happened, but Kurapika still lowered his head to cover her blushing face and said.
"... I like you too..."
I don't want to be conscious. I don't want to admit it. If you admit it, you will be reminded.
The "like" she holds and the "like" turned toward her are too different. If we both realized the difference, we might not even be able to laugh and talk like before, so I want to remain ignorant.
However, I was warned that "dreams" might be trampled upon in the cruelest way, the person I least want to hurt, the person I least want to be hurt by, keeping the things that protect it. Treasure.
Because someone raised this possibility.
The Goddess said that dreams are fleeting, broken by reality.
However, he said that love that twists reality can also be defeated by sweet, faint, fleeting love, so letting go and trying hard to protect is both happy and difficult.
Because you are loved, this pale dream of love might come true.
So I took a step forward.
Perhaps it would be better to keep her by my side, telling him that his feelings and the name of the kind of love she knows are the same.
However, with that name, even if I keep you by my side, I cannot stand beside you.
I blushed and said to Gon, denying it.
"It is still different," he said.
Afterwards, I realized that I had foolishly and honestly answered this fact, even though I felt extremely ashamed.
When I said "still," I wanted to say it with that meaning one day.
So take the first step.
I might not even have to say it, but I know they think the same as I do, no matter which kind it is.
But she should be as clear as she is that she is not the type to say such things in such a place in such a situation.
I want you to feel the unexpectedness of the situation where "Kurapika can't say anything," and then realize this.
The meaning of the word "like" for Kurapika.
Where is he going out, wanting to go there?
Sora's reaction to Kurapika's most complete confession... or rather, his reaction...
"…………Kurapika is!!"
This is normal; there is no distortion.
It is numb, tilted, and not twisted. However, what shocked him was that he was "deleted" instead of becoming the target of this line; this is not Sora's fault, but Kurapika's stubborn habit. I can say
In other words, the price for being forgiven until now because the stubborn cousin was considered "a cousin who isn't cute is cute" has arrived; this goes without saying.
I myself was vaguely aware of this, but of course, the step I made up my mind to take was a failure, or rather a misfire; even if you know it is a blow, you will still be normally angry.
"Hey! Did you guys see that just now!? Did you all see it!? Kurapika! Kurapika is gone!! And in public!!"
"What is this!? Does it even rain spears today!? Karna throws away his armor and throws out his spear!? Does causality reversal sting my heart!? Will the wedge connecting the world fall off!?"
"Shut up now! Don't make a fuss!!"
Especially the person saying this, I am afraid they are just panicking and mean no teasing or malice, but if Kurapika shouts something that makes Kurapika even more embarrassed, that would be better.
Leorio and Senritsu walked away from the two of them carelessly; the two did not quarrel in public, but continued to make a scene, just unilaterally sneering at Kurapika, waiting for the end. The intention to stop did not seem to go well for each other.
But Senritsu pretended to be someone else and smiled at Leorio again.
"... I understand why you are worried about Kurapika. But at the same time, I know he will be fine."
............ Okay. Kurapika did act recklessly and did unreasonable things, and I am sure there are many things that even Sora-chan could not stop, let alone me.
But he no longer commits suicide for atonement. Because he used the right to commit suicide for Sora-chan, because he decided to use it, that is why he wants to live, even if it means he has to carry that "sin."
When I told Leorio the answer to "becoming Kurapika's brake," Leorio frowned and scratched his head, as if to say: "I have already gotten rid of the trouble."
"Really, they will explode, won't they?"
Senritsu's wry smile and Leorio's grimace were both faces that could only be described this way, but their expressions made me feel unbelievable.
"Eh! Kurapika is back!?"
The next day, Gon noticed that Kurapika was not there, asked casually, and found that he had returned to his employer.
"We will meet again, for now, do your best in training."
"Hmm Hmm Hmm, that's fine, but..."
Gon felt very frustrated because of his dissatisfaction with Kurapika leaving without saying a word, and his regret for making him worry, but when Zepile returned, he pawned it as promised. The man who proved the License simply changed his mind and earned the missing 20 million to buy it back.
"Classmate Zepile, you are truly an amazing person."
Not only Gon, but Killua and Leorio also showed respect to Zepile when they saw the bankbook Zepile returned, with 8 zeros lined up exactly after the 1.
However, Zepile received praise from the three: "If you have 80 million Yen, it's no big deal." The ratings will continue to rise.
Seeing the respectful gazes of the three made him a little embarrassed. Zepile said "it's no big deal" while leaving the abandoned building, until the end.
"I am also a professional in this field. Well, call me when you need help."
"Goodbye. Have fun."
"Thank you!!"
Seeing the gratitude of Gon and the others, he walked leisurely until he could no longer hear the voices of Gon and the others, I sighed deeply, as if to exhaust the air in my lungs, and dropped my shoulders.
"Ha~~~~~~......"
"Why did I show off like this?"
When parting with Gon and the others, his way of walking fit the word "bold."
This person actually only earned 15 million Jenny.
It would be amazing if he could earn so much in 5 days, and there is a grace period until the player exam; in the worst case, if I pawned Leorio's License and bought back Gon's License, I would have a grace period to earn more money, but Zepile was bound by his own words "I will return 100 million on the 8th," and this person finally mortgaged his internal organs and borrowed 5 million from dark finance.
His humility was just a vanity; the reason he left quickly was because he couldn't bear to see the three of them believing Zepile's words with their eyes shining.
Zepile not only didn't make money, but also owed Gon and the others a debt. Yes, but in this situation, rather than saying he is too trustworthy, or too kind, it is better to say he is himself, an idiot who shows off.
Such a pretentious person, while thinking about the future, covered up his anxiety about temporarily carrying the debt of cigarettes.
I have no motivation to forge again now, even if I roll antiques, I need money to start, so I would rather borrow another 1 million or so. A Hunter License that lent me 1 billion pays attention to the level of ferocity.
Although he noticed this, Zepile did not realize how unusual a person with a License of such value would be.
Fortunately, Zepile was involved with Gon and the others who were chasing the Brigade, but it had nothing to do with fighting. But their abilities were all within his common sense.
Although I was told that there is a crazy power called Nen Ability, it is hard for me to imagine it because it is crazy, and because I was told that this is a power obtained through training after obtaining a License, it is necessary to pass the exam. I don't think it is a powerful force.
The idea itself is correct, but the Professional Hunter mainly involved with him is Gon, and it is embarrassing to say, but Leorio's ability is the lowest among the passers of this term, so I greatly misunderstood the "minimum passing ability" of the basic "Hunter Exam."
So he came to a rash conclusion.
"... That's right. I also became a Professional Hunter, I hope I can sell the License! Then, you will live on interest instead of debt immediately!?"
"No, that's impossible, so don't do that."
But his responsibility was immediately cut off.
Zepile was not angry at the ruthless assertion of "impossible," but was greatly surprised by the sudden words behind him; the voice sounded familiar.
Zepile remembered seeing the woman standing behind him with surprised eyes... Sora.
Come to think of it, this guy is also a Hunter. I only heard that he is a Ghostbuster and not a Hunter, but I remember he is definitely a Professional Hunter, and I realized how naive I was.
"... Maybe you lied about earning 40 million, if you are worried that you didn't do well, you might owe a debt for Gon and the others... Could it be that I am worried about you?"
Before Zepile could ask: "Why are you here?", Sora tilted her head in surprise and asked. This question answered most of the questions Zepile wanted to ask.
Looking back, I remember I didn't say anything amazing to Zepile, but seeing the surrounding environment and confirming that Sora was alone, I felt relieved.
It seems that it is impossible for her to earn 20 million in 5 days, let alone 40 million. I thought it wouldn't take that long, but if he doesn't make money, he seems to understand why he didn't speak honestly, and who his stubbornness and pretentiousness were aimed at. It seems it was given to me.
She respects Zepile's stubbornness and affectation, but he might not be able to understand her stubbornness and affectation. "... Yes," he answered.
"I don't mind honesty. Zepile. Give me your hand."
Although she should be younger than himself, the words she said were still very dignified, which made Zepile a little suspicious, but he still obediently stretched out his right hand and was placed on his palm by Sora.
I casually put about 5 shiny big Jewels on it, and then smiled.
"I'll give it to you. Thank you for taking care of not only Gon and the others, but also Kurapika."
It may not be enough for your reward, but I think this will be more than your debt, so don't take the Hunter Exam lightly."
It was as casual as handing over a piece of candy, not a replica or a low-value artificial object. I lost.
Although I am an expert, I cannot think of anything to say, because I know that what was handed to me is worth more than the 5 million I borrowed.
"Hmm, bye-bye. Once Gon and the others rely on me again, I'll be fine. However, next time, don't be so flashy and blow yourself up."
"!? Hey, wait!"
However, Sora did not want to wait for Zepile to search for the words and find them.
Stopped, Sora said, "Ah? What? Ah, it's fine. The Magic Aura isn't filled, so don't worry about it exploding; it's just an ordinary gemstone." Zepile was almost speechless again, but somehow, he managed to find his footing.
"……Why did you go out of your way to give me this?
No matter how I think about it, it doesn't count as gratitude. What good does it do you?"
"You say it like that?"
I cannot simply accept what I received because I think I am lucky. If he could do that, Zepile wouldn't have been in debt in the first place.
Even if it were an amount of money that wouldn't hurt her, Zepile could not accept it because she had done nothing to receive this money from a woman who was clearly younger than her.
To be honest, he had wanted to accept it silently, but Sora looked at the still-stubborn Zepile and started to laugh.
Then, still laughing, he continued his words.
"Hmm, I can understand your stubbornness. You and I are similar people. If I were in the same position, I would show the same stubbornness and vanity; I wouldn't accept it in the same way. I don't think I've done enough to be worth what I received, so I can't accept it."
"So think about it. The remainder of the compensation I received now is the compensation for what I will do in the future."
"?Starting from now?"
As Zepile repeated Sora's words, he was the first to realize his misunderstanding.
I thought Sora was looking at me with a blank stare because he didn't understand his own stubbornness and vanity, but she actually understood Zepile's stubbornness and vanity.
I understand that the surprise that appeared in Sora's eyes might not have been about Zepile, but about seeing herself in Zepile, but this is a theory she can understand and accept because she and he are very similar. "The price of what I am going to do."
"Yes. This is my request... or more accurately, a plea. It has nothing to do with your work, so this is not a request, but a personal request to Zepile."
After adding to that difficult-to-understand reasoning, this time Zepile was convinced and smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"So that's how it is. Then of course I can accept it, but asking you this is a bit scary.
And? What are you asking?"
Zepile's answer was not surprising; the request was not "work."
Since such a gemstone could be handed over so easily, thinking that even if Zepile didn't earn 20 million within the time limit, she could probably make up for it, I wondered if I could do this without asking a third party, or if I should know other reliable suppliers.
Therefore, I interpreted these words as a way for Zepile to accept this gemstone without being stubborn, without being servile because it was given to him, and without feeling guilty.
In the end, things didn't change, but Zepile didn't show meaningless stubbornness to the point of ignoring the other party's good intentions in worrying about him, but at least he tried to convince himself. I wanted to do my best to satisfy this request, so I asked jokingly, but Sora opened her eyes wide and answered the question.
"Hmm? I already told you."
"Ah, what?"
To Sora's direct answer, Zepile also immediately widened his eyes in response.
Sora remained stunned and answered again.
"Do not participate in the Hunter Exam."
At this, Zepile's eyeballs shrank even further, as if they were about to fall out.
And the person who said this tilted her head with an expression of not knowing why he was so surprised.
"……My aptitude for being a Hunter is zero, is it necessary to worry so much?"
In the few seconds of silence, Zepile smiled bitterly, explaining that even if he paid the money, he had no hope of stopping the exam.
Originally, unlike Leorio, his motive for applying was too frivolous, and he couldn't be considered a real Money Hunter at all, so thinking so much wouldn't be shocking. No, but as expected, I was a bit frustrated because a woman younger than me declared that I was "weak."
"No. The world."
However, Sora immediately denied Zepile's explanation, making him even more confused.
"Eh? Then why would you spend so much money to keep me from taking the exam?"
If it wasn't to reproach his recklessness, he couldn't understand the meaning of Sora's request at all, so he questioned her again, and Sora answered with a smile.
This time it wasn't funny.
She answered with a gentle and deep smile, making her look even older than Zepile, as if she were loving yet regretful.
"I want you to become a normal person."
Sora said this with eyes that seemed to have given up on something, but a strong light that was completely different from obedience shone in her eyes.
"You are an ordinary person, but you are involved with me and Gon, so I want you to continue being a 'normal person'."
Facing Sora's answer, Zepile didn't know what to say, took out a cigarette, and lit it.
"……Haha. That's normal... Of course, from your perspective, I might be normal, but I am someone who has always walked on the edge of the law."
Denying Sora's words. Sora replied that unfortunately, he could not fulfill his wish from the very beginning.
He answered sincerely and denied it, but Sora denied Zepile's answer.
"Being a 'normal person' is actually not important, regardless of whether you are a criminal or not. Without laws and regulations, order cannot be maintained. Collective life is very inconvenient. It is meaningless to protect people who can be protected. It is normal, and those who cannot protect it are abnormal."
When a person is penniless and will starve to death if they don't eat now, can you say that someone who doesn't know how to steal is normal? Can't you say that? In this case, whether you put it into practice or not, it is normal, and those who don't even think of this idea are abnormal; they are 'heretics' who should be called 'saints'. It can be said that it is only 'normal' when the two meanings of good and evil are consistent for the first time.
... You are a "normal" person.
That is why I want you to be involved with Gon and Killua the way you are now.
Do not engage in work like being a Hunter, which is synonymous with people who are not "normal," and do not have too much contact with people who might distort your "normalcy."
Killua really doesn't know what "normal" is because of his family environment, and Gon is Gon; he is a stranger among strangers, not only bad, but actually very good. Anyway, before you know it, you will miss something important and drop out of human society."
I am not a noble person. Denying what Zepile said about him not being someone who can guide others, Sora made a wish.
Please guide Gon and Killua so that these two unusual people will not be hurt or harm others with their own heterogeneity and heresy.
I hope they can accept and teach me the "normalcy" they will miss.
Following this request, Zepile held the gemstone handed to him.
Just answer "Ah."
I cannot say, "You can do it."
Because I have said it myself.
Zepile has already casually said that Sora is not "normal." I cannot say it, because I know that even if I withdraw now, it will only lead to a cold result.
The look in Sora's eyes when he looks at me is exactly the same as the respect and admiration Gon and the others have for him, but it seems faded, appearing aged.
Because those eyes are so lonely, as if gazing at a Dream World from long ago in a distant place.
He dropped out, dropped out, and laughed, as if reminiscing about that path he could never return to.
"Thank you."
Sora smiled happily at Zepile, and Zepile told him that he would protect the things he would never lose, so that no one other than himself would lose them. Then he turned and started walking.
While walking majestically, Zepile shouted at his small back.
Perhaps the world she sees and the world she lives in are completely different from her own world.
I do not know how much my values, way of thinking, and ideas will be of use in her world.
Even so... she still looked at me with jealousy.
So I said,
"Hehe! Although I don't know you very well, I still think you are a good person!
Regardless of whether he is a normal criminal, regardless of whether he is a good person or a bad person, normal or abnormal!
Even if you are not normal, you are still a good person... so don't forget that you want to be Together with others, not just me!!"
The ordinary Zepile could only say this.
And for Sora, these words had only one answer.
"I won't forget!"
Turning back, her smile was so beautiful and sunny that it simply could not be called normal.
The smile that proved one could be very happy even if they were not a "normal person" made Zepile heave a sigh of relief.
"Hmm, another thing to worry about is the player evaluation for Gon and Killua.
Well, at this rate, as long as it's not a master-level powerhouse, you can pass, including your room for improvement."
After finishing the follow-up with Zepile and returning home, Sora voiced the remaining worry.
However, just as I said myself, both of them are too talented, so I feel that worrying is unnecessary.
So, I really wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but since all the troubles were gone, Sora had no reason to stay here; I just felt frustrated, sighed deeply like Zepile, and moved forward with difficulty.
"Ahhh. Everyone decided to start over with a good mood once they reached a certain point, but why am I the only one who has to do this kind of work where the tension drops? What? Punishment? What punishment? I have many thoughts. Too many.
Most of the people involved in this turmoil, except for Sora, think that rather than being punished, it is compensation obtained by having the Goddess directly fulfill their wishes, but since this person himself has no way of knowing, it is relatively self-inflicted. Muttering that I know this, I desperately opened my Mobile Phone, hoping that this email was actually a mistake.
Of course, it was not a mistake, the existence itself was not a misunderstanding, nor was it a dream; there was an email in Sora's Mobile Phone requesting immediate deletion.
"Hmm... if the master knew about Kurapika and the Brigade, I would definitely stop him, so the price of refusing to wear the master's clothes has been well rewarded."
I didn't say anything to Biscuit, but Biscuit, who has good intuition, had long guessed what Sora was going to do in Yorkshin in September, and it was very likely that he would be forcibly stopped, so Sora started talking to Biscuit around July. I lost contact with him.
Therefore, Sora does not know where Biscuit is or what she is doing now, and even if he tries to contact her now, he will obviously be told, "I know. So of course I won't contact you."
While saying that if it were really dangerous, Biscuit would rush over to help him.
Sora's Hatsu teacher, unlike his Magic teacher, is not honest, but she is very clear about taking care of her disciple, so Sora thinks his actions have become his enemy, leaving no regrets, only lips.
Just as Biscuit cares about Sora, Biscuit is also very important to Sora, so I don't want her to be involved in unnecessary trouble.
That is why I muttered a declaration of war against the client, the sender of the email, who is "unnecessary worry."
"... I mean, why do you know my home password and email? I'm going to sue you for invasion of privacy and stalking, you perverted Vice President."
Along with the work request, Sora glared at the name Pariston Hill, and Pariston Hill sent an email asking, "Do you want to eat (^^)?"
End of Chapter
