Chapter 187
It is a bit late in the morning.
Wearing a White Dress, carrying a large backpack.
The two of them came outside the door to see me off.
"Mom and Dad.
I'm coming then."
"Have a wonderful day, Aisha-chan.
I also want to see you as a boy. I am looking forward to that."
"Floating..."
"Alright, I can say one thing.
Good luck."
"Father..."
"Hahahaha! You're joking, you'll definitely laugh if you make that kind of face.
... You should do your best until you are satisfied.
Let me give you a Suggestion.
That won't work.
If I am satisfied, that is the goal."
"Yes...
Do you understand? I will do my best until I am certain.
If it looks like it will take too long, I will come back."
"Oh.
... Just in case, it's fine to 'wear' and 'Kneading' every day, right?"
"Yes.
If I can embody my mother every day like this, this should be an embodiment practice.
I want you to do this every day, but don't push yourself too hard in the 'Kneading' Training.
If you use too much Aura, you might not be able to recover by the next day."
"I know.
... Don't worry, my subordinates also have Nen Ability.
Just ask them for advice, don't be reckless."
"... It's fine to ask for advice, but you can't practice fighting just in case, right?"
"This, this, the advice of the Martial Arts master makes me feel refreshed."
"Already!
... If it's for self-defense, that is completely different from simple 'Cultivation' and running away when encountering danger.
Just don't panic, prepare to practice immediately, I guess."
"Mom, I will work hard."
"Mom, you don't have to go to the trouble, run quickly."
"Oh dear."
The three of them laughed out loud... This is interesting, we will talk forever.
"... Are you making me wait?
Come on, Aisha."
Dad urged me, and Mom watched me with a smile.
Both of you... I love you.
"Then, this time.
Mom and Dad. Goodbye!"
"Have a wonderful day, Aisha-chan."
"Take care."
... Hmm, I cried a little.... Hmm, how is it? Smile!
The two regretfully sent off their daughter who was about to leave.
"... Dominic.
It seems you and Aisha have reconciled."
"Yeah, yeah... It took a long time."
"..."
"I'm sorry for making you both feel lonely while I was away."
"I am the same as Aisha, but...
Don't blame yourself either.
No one wanted that."
"... I'm a little jealous.
You two have become such good friends."
"For Misha to be jealous, Aisha has become a luxury."
"Oh, that kid is fine.
What do you mean by letting me see you slacking off in front of me?"
"Dredil?
I didn't mean to..."
"Oh, okay.
I want to leave Mr. Dominic alone for a while."
"Really... please, be gentle."
Dominic gave a wry smile to the arm-crossing Misha.
Watching the back of Aisha as she walked away,
"... but you are already carrying a lot of luggage.
Are you going hiking?"
"You said you were going to enter the game.
My friends are all talking about my life being in danger, but is it okay?"
"... It's fine.
Regardless, our child will come home."
"Yes..."
After being away from home for a while.
I stopped, took my Mobile Phone out of my backpack, and contacted Mr. Uranus.
I came out with a lot of motivation, but it doesn't always pass quickly.
"... Oh, good morning, Mr. Uranus.... Yeah, I think everyone is against me joining the game... By the way, I want to introduce one of my friends... No, I will go with you. It's not like that. I want to ask you to stay and help me... Alright then. I think you'll understand once we meet and talk... Yes, that's convenient to contact you. Occasionally... Yes, then I'll contact my friend, so I'll hang up the phone first... Yes, later."
Next, contact Gon.
"... Ah, good morning, little brother. If that's the case, I'm sorry... Huhu, sorry. Um, this is the airship landing point... That's right. It's Amustol. I will wait near the entrance... Yes, please."
Turn off your Mobile Phone. Return to Uranus.
"Ah, Mr. Uranus. I heard it's convenient now, so I wanted to come over."
I hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
"Hoo... now, this is the final Barrier."
Without Gon's cooperation, it's impossible to stop Lina and the others at all. Sorry, I will have Gon do his best.
"I promised you I wouldn't do anything selfish..."
I put the Mobile Phone in my backpack and started walking again.
Just turning back time a little.
Uranus picked up Aisha's phone, Aisha called again.
"Yes... yeah. Okay, I'll go prepare... Okay, I'll wait. I'll let you two hide first... Um, talk about it later."
Uranus hung up the phone and shouted to the two relaxing in the airship.
"You two.
Aisha said she's bringing a friend."
Meleoron put his feet on the bed and asked with a relaxed face.
"I was on the phone with you earlier.
Is it almost here?"
"Yes.
It will take about 30 minutes to an hour."
"I see, I see.
... What should I do?"
At Meleoron's words, Shim tilted her head curiously,
"Big sister, what are you worried about?"
"Hmm...
I know Aisha's companion is coming, but..."
"You said you were friends, or a friend."
Uranus corrected him, but Meleoron tilted his head,
"That's Aisha's standard, so I can't tell.
That friend didn't enter the game, right?"
"... It seems they intend to have Aisha's other companions block here so they don't interfere.
Well, there are all sorts of things."
"Then...
wouldn't it be better not to show your face in the end?"
Uranus understood what Meleoron wanted to say. But...
"At least Aisha looks like a friend who believes that talking about you is okay.
It was actually the intention to have you hide at first, to see for yourself if they are reliable or not."
"..."
"Isn't this your Suggestion, not Aisha's Suggestion?"
Uranus shrugged,
"I thought it was the intention, so I just confirmed it.
She actually agreed to it."
"... Sister.
I understand how you feel, but we must also trust Aisha's judgment."
"... I know you are not a bad child."
Meleoron looked at Uranus while extending three fingers of his left hand.
"You and Aisha guessed it easily, so you might not realize it, but...
Actually, my ability shouldn't be that weak.
... Even if it is discovered, if it doesn't exist.
That is why I want to minimize the number of people who know as much as possible."
"You don't need to expose your ability, right?
At least I don't have to tell you everything."
"So I am just a stupid ant that can be Transparent at most, right?
Are you going to tell Aisha to hide it from that friend?"
"Don't be modest...
Meleoron's Aura amount is comparable to an ordinary first-class Professional Hunter."
"..."
"To be honest, my physical fitness is not even at the level of a Squadron Leader; it is at the level of a Gatekeeper, so I just trained myself crazily, thinking it was just my Aura. This is a characteristic, so it will be difficult in battle."
"Hmm, I see...
If you haven't trained your body just in case, then battles that require skill are naturally difficult.
To make up for this shortcoming, develop a 'Fire' that utilizes Aura."
"... Uranus.
You know what you are saying, don't you?"
"... Memory shortage?"
"That's right, there are many strange abilities in the attribute system; if the restrictions and Contracts are not strict, the Memory will run out quickly.
As for me, 【Transparent】, 【Perfect Plan】, 【God's Accomplice】, these three things I can do as soon as I wake up, and there is no room left."
"Correct...
As long as you don't impose restrictions or promises on the abilities you currently have, the Memory shortage problem is difficult to solve."
"I don't like it."
"I thought you would tell me."
Uranus crossed his arms. If the person involved doesn't like this and doesn't like that, it looks like a dead end to others.
"Hmm, I understand, but are you leaving here?
I think we should have a good talk."
"With whom?"
"With Aisha's friends."
Meleoron tilted his head.
"... Sorry.
Didn't understand, please explain."
"I don't have many reasons, so I can't be sure, but...
Aisha cleared Greed Island once. Stay with your friends.
So you want to bring your friends here and introduce them. To us.
That friend might be a friend of mine who also cleared Greed Island."
"Yes.
I understand this as a theory."
"From now on, we are going to clear Greed Island, you know?
Isn't this a good opportunity to discuss various things? After discussing with you in a place where you are not present, what should I do?"
"That's what I said, but...
Anyway, I thought I learned as much as I could about the game basics you taught me, but I just memorized everything, you know?
I don't think you can ask me too much about game strategy at that level."
"No, I don't care about game strategy."
Meleoron and Seam rolled their eyes. What the hell are you talking about?
Uranus put his hands together with a serious expression.
"What I want to discuss with the two of them is—
It's about the Specified Pocket Card you chose as a clear reward."
Aisha arrived at the airship landing site. She did not enter the building but waited in front of the entrance for Gon to arrive.
"Aisha!"
When I turned to face the voice, Gon ran over from a distance at a fairly fast speed.
Aisha waved her hand. With a final sprint, Gon dashed and stopped in front of Aisha.
"Gon, sorry for calling you suddenly."
"Hmm...
Aisha... where are you going?"
She was wearing a white dress with a large backpack placed beside her. In this way, the location is the airship landing site, so it only looks like she is going somewhere.
"Mm, that's right, but..."
"First, I consulted with Gon."
"I'm sorry, please let me stand here."
"Is it... a consultation?"
"Mm..."
—The girl explains—
This is a summary of what I told Gon.
First, someone invited me to Greed Island.
That person is researching items for designated pocket cards.
Someone told me that the gender transformation from the Hormone Cookie I gave up might somehow be possible.
I want to enter Greed Island again with that person, so I asked them to persuade Leina and the others not to interfere with me.
"I don't know if I can do it..."
I smiled gently at the unconfident Gon.
"No problem."
"I've thought of an excuse for the time being, so if anyone asks, please answer truthfully."
"Mm, yes. I understand."
"Then I want to talk in detail, can you come with me?"
"Let me introduce Gon to the person who invited me."
"That's fine, but..."
"Aisha and that person, are you two going to play together?"
"Is it okay if I don't go with you?"
"It's fine. I'm considering that."
"I really want Gon to ensure that everyone doesn't come here."
"Besides..."
"Besides?"
"You are asking Gon to do such a thing."
"Because I want to keep my promise."
"... Next time, I won't do anything selfish."
"Aisha..."
I felt embarrassed and somehow looked up at the sky.
"... And, I think everyone is against me becoming a man."
"Gon understands this, right?"
"Mm?"
"No. Well."
"... Eh? Is Gon also against it?"
"............"
Ah. Gon shut his mouth. I'm in trouble...
"... Aisha, this outfit is so cute."
"Mm?"
"I'm happy to be complimented, but isn't there something else?"
"Mm..."
"... Mm. Honestly, it doesn't matter."
"I made excuses to my mom and dad, so I kept talking about this, but my dad was against it until the end."
"Mm..."
"Oh, by the way, Aisha. How is your physical condition?"
"Oh, I didn't say. I'm sorry."
"Mm..."
"After parting with Gon at the World Tree in Suwanda City—"
—Girl's explanation II—
"... I have something on my mind, so are you saying you're uncomfortable?"
Gon asked, and I agreed.
"I agree."
"If you have regrets, you'll inevitably worry."
"So, if it's possible, I think I should do it properly."
"Yeah... I understand."
"Then I won't object."
"... By the way, Gon, why were you against it?"
"Mm, because..."
"The current Aisha is an amazing girl."
... Eh?
What is that. What is a "remarkable girl"……?
"…………"
"Aisha?"
"……Eh? Eh, hey……"
Uh, your face is so hot……
Why. Why are you so embarrassed? e? e?
Why is your body trembling so violently?
Hmm, breathe, breathe…… Hoo hoo. ……Hmm. Alright, alright.
"Hmm, yes. Gogogogon."
Who is Gogogogon?
Gon paused, "Pfft!"
"I'm sorry, Aisha.
I was just teasing you, don't take it to heart."
"……Ah?
Mmm mmm mmm.
Please stop doing that."
"I'm sorry. Then, let's go."
"Mm."
Gon and I started walking, holding the Goo in our hands, and the Goo was still trembling slightly.
What did you mean by "good girl"? Jajanken Jajanken Jajanken Jajanken...
