Chapter 230: Chapter Fifty-Seven

In the men's bath.

"Sim.

It's really itchy, so I want you to stop."

"Hehe, that's really terrible."

"Smooth.

It's really beautiful. Very good. You look like a princess."

Uranus is trembling.

"The hair is like this, yes, what is it...

It's embarrassing, so it's okay..."

──The women's bath was too much, so it has been omitted──

Squeezing out the last bit of strength, I staggered from the Public Bathhouse back to my own room, where Uranus was lying on the futon.

Oh... the tragedy repeats itself.

I also collapsed onto the futon. Strength... strength does not exist...

Kamubakku, boss attribute... I never thought I would miss you this much...

Wearing a neat yukata, Meleoron, who later came to Nengzhi's room, flopped down beside me.

"Hmm.

Sim, what is your head?"

"Great, big sister, isn't it?"

"No mud."

Saying this, the two suddenly burst into laughter.

I don't know what to do...

Inn, Akiba Shigure Maple.

An elegant Inn surrounded by red maple leaves. The Inn is filled with autumn leaf-patterned decorations, and actual autumn leaves are also on display.

I have stayed in many places, but I have no complaints about this one. I believe the Gohan you eat here must be delicious. It seems to include breakfast; I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

But...

But that Public Bathhouse...

I don't understand why you can't feel refreshed while bathing, but instead feel exhausted...

"There is some kind of television."

Hearing the Heavy voice, he glanced at his prone face.

Yes. But before I took a bath, I tried to turn it on, and it didn't display anything. Well, this is inside a game; it would be strange if it played regular TV shows.

Hmm... but why would there be a television?

"That is...

If you ask the staff, you can borrow a movie or video to watch on the television."

Uranus muttered to himself. Come to think of it, there is a place where you can put video tapes.

"Hehe. Isn't this good?

I'll go borrow something."

Hmm, did you eat too?

"Hey, Meleoron."

"What?"

"... If you borrow something strange, I will kill you."

Oh. Uranus, you look sharp. I understand... there is. It might be the Soki system.

"Eh, hahaha.

It's not like that, no.

I feel like I'm going to sit down. Hey... then why don't you go borrow it?"

Okay.... Well played, Uranus. I don't want to watch that, not even for a second.

As I immersed myself in the feeling of the fluffy futon, I finally felt at peace.

Firmly, no... the unfamiliar turmoil takes too long to suppress.

I am a girl... I couldn't help but have the spirit of a plant like before. That's it, I don't even feel like I'm too withered.

I stared vaguely at the room, looking at an old-fashioned television that was no longer just interior decor.

... Hm?

That television is cool, isn't it?

I finally got up and approached the television.... I still can't move like I used to. Did I eat poison? I mean, if you use a Neurotoxin on me, I will tear off that chameleon's Tongue.

Being used to wearing sportswear is still a relief... Meleoron and Shim are wearing the Inn's yukata. Uranus is in the usual pirate king outfit. Looks like a corpse that can't be endured right now, but...

And the television. Where to connect... yes, there it is. This is cool.

"This television can connect to a Game Console."

The siblings' faces were like "Hey!?"

"... No. It's good that it can connect, but what is the most important Game Console?"

Meleoron asked curiously. Yes, you shouldn't know that you brought it.

"You know..."

Uranus almost closed his eyes and let out a groan from the depths of hell.

"I know Aisha brought a Game Console.

... You play games until you enter the game?"

Uranus, who knew this was true, said so.... Hmm, I know what you mean. But you know,

"I don't want to treat this game, which is harder than life, as a game."

"I understand, but..."

"I'm going to bring a Game Console..."

"... Aisha, did you really bring these things?

Even my siblings said it out loud. But Meleoron, I don't want you to tell me about this.

"I think it's best to verify it as well.

I'm glad everything went well."

Think about what Uranus is,

"... This is certainly valuable information. A Game Console... instead of bringing a joystick. My impression is that I will be played too."

I stood up as I spoke. After all, when his head spins, he becomes active.

"I'm also very interested in whether the Game Console actually works.

Connection?"

"Yes, let's do it."

Go rummage through your bag.... Hmm, it's sitting low. It's hard to take out, everyone is watching... I'll try not to pull out anything strange.

Finally, I came out. After that, cables and so on...

Plug into the socket, connect the Game Console's cable to the TV, and turn it on.

────On the blacked-out TV screen, the Game Console manufacturer's logo is displayed.

"Oh. That's cool."

I nodded at Meleoron's words. A game within a game, right? You know how much you love games.

And the "Do*pon" demo movie playing on the TV.

That's right... I've already installed this software.

"Uh...

Seriously? Are you playing this game?"

Meleoron froze his face. I was slightly traumatized.

"No no, this game just happened to be included.

If you're still going to do it—"

"Fine, let's do it."

Seam said casually. Heh, really a seam? Have you forgotten that Meleoron hit you for this?

"Next time, let's do it with Aisha.

Sounds fun, the four of us making a racket."

"Uh...

Do I do this too?"

"Hey, Seam. Don't include me.

Playing with you guys."

... I feel like our friendship is going to break before the game even starts, but that's that.

Finally, the four of us started Doka*n without hesitation.

At the time of character selection, Meleoron was almost defeated, but... Seam focused on Mana without hesitation. Uranus chose a balanced character. Am I right? Let's think about finishing it safely. I have a bad premonition about this.

──Destroying friendship──

For the time being, Meleoron left the room crying, so it was turned off.

... Uranus Demon. I defeated Meleoron. Meleoron this is nonsense, this isn't impossible. Uranus, I was aiming for this since the character selection. However, I secretly tried to trick you into making a mistake.... Yeah, well, I want to vent my resentment in the bathtub. Don't be sad.

"Sister, I'm worried, I'll go next to you."

Raised Seam. Yes, he is a good kid.... Half the reason that sister is crying is because of your territory Magic. Don't be nervous. Also, Uranus, don't ruthlessly steal Meleoron's strongest weapon. A real Devil mosquito.

"Uranus, is it okay to give me a dollar?"

"Yes?

Oh, a good book.

You can use it as you wish, but don't waste it."

"Book. You know.

... Hmm, thank you. Then, you two, take it easy tonight."

Seam is fast.

Uranus with a sad expression.... To be honest, I don't know what I look like right now.

Silent for a while, I put away the Game Console with excitement. The scene where the BGM of Kapon flows, I only have bad memories.

After putting away the Game Console, Uranus tilted his head,

"Aisha, do you want money too?"

"Hmm? Hmm...

I appreciate your request, but it seems to have been used too much, so please take care, Uranus."

"Is that so? That's fine, but...

If you know this, then I hope you have money and take care of yourself."

……Because. This kind of Inn has many temptations to spend money here and there. I almost accidentally went shopping in the souvenir corner. The refrigerator in the room is also very expensive...

"Think about it, can't you pay later?

Except for the accommodation fee."

"Hmm, that's impossible. After all, it's inconvenient, right? But I think it's intentional."

"Intentional? Are you very inconvenienced?"

"Yeah. They don't keep it for me like a shop, and the accumulation of Gold Cards puts a lot of pressure on my spare money, so it's troublesome to manage, and I spend too much."

"I see... that kind of trap."

"It is a trap. It's like coins. Scrap metal Fugura, it's very suitable for people who hate management.

Dongguang, who doesn't let me fish, is basically like this."

Ah... most players who adopt good strategies might belong to this category. It seems that people with money and common sense won't really play this game.

Uranus uses "Copy" and "Forgery" to fill the frames of the Specified Pocket Card.... I will do it well.

For some reason, I looked at the socket where the Game Console power plug was previously inserted. Others are plugged in, and two Mobile Phones are stacked.

Huh? What is...

I walked over there and picked up something like a card near my Mobile Phone.

One. This is a Hunter License.

Hmm? I thought it was a license, but... the design is different.

Take your License out of your sportswear pocket and compare. Yes... I have a certification number. Mine is 138924809287. So Koch is 113454771284.

"Book"

When I looked at the sound, Uranus, who was wiping the Binder, was looking at me.

"Ah...

Is this a Uranus License?"

"……That is correct."

"It looks like the design is different.

Ah, I am the 287th generation, but Uranus is from three years ago."

"Yeah... Aisha is from last year.

I don't think the License design stays the same forever."

"Probably...

Has there been a change since the 284th term?"

But I wonder if the License would change its design at that time?

"……Maybe this isn't a change in design."

"Hmm?"

What is it. Uranus is in a bad mood.

"If a star application is approved, a License with a different design will be issued and replaced with the original one.

They say they won't reissue it, but that's only in the case of it being lost or stolen, so they do. Only when you get a star, in the form of updating the License."

"In other words..."

Uranus sighed in an easy-to-understand way.

"I am single.

I accepted it a long time ago, but more and more trouble has become annoying."

"Oh...

I remember I glanced at you and said it was troublesome."

Kurapika seems to run into trouble sometimes... as a single-star Blacklist Hunter, requests for cooperation come in and out, and it seems he refuses them one by one. Because I am still in Training. Actually, I spend a lot of time in the Kazama Style Dojo, so this is true.... Perhaps in order to take back those scarlet eyes, he disappears from time to time.

One. So Kurapika's License also changed? Do you not want us to see you? We didn't really show each other our Licenses.

"Honestly, a star is just an honor.

Generally speaking, if you apply, you will pass, right?"

…………Is this a jungle Snake?

"No no no, I still have a long way to go."

"How humble!

……Well, I was wondering, but, the newcomer Kurapika who captured the Phantom Troupe is your friend, right?

No matter how you look at it, I can only assume you fought him and captured him."

Not good. It seems various things have been discovered.

"There is no such thing.

……Of course, I know a person named Kurapika, but I was just synchronizing."

"Hmm. Hmm."

Ah... Abengane. Somehow, I feel like I have been investigated in advance.

"You know, Aisha?

There is a lot of information about Kurapika on the Hunter website, right? The Hunter information network, don't take it lightly.

...... So. I was Together with someone in Heaven's Arena. It was conspicuous there. I was also quite troubled."

"Hahahaha. That's right."

……Oops. Of course, he did something very conspicuous like dodging attacks for two minutes. Kurapika also did the same thing, so I believe he will be discovered as a friend. Moreover, when I had a match with Mr. Kastro, he even made a statement.

Kurapika received a lot of votes in the presidential election, so I wouldn't be surprised if some level of investigation was conducted.

"So, I guess you are Kurapika's Nen master? It seems you really like training others; I wonder if you train at Heaven's Arena from time to time.

Besides, if Gon and I captured the Phantom Troupe, couldn't we double our application?"

"Um, um..."

"I am not Kurapika's teacher, I am just a friend..."

"Kurapika's power is the reason you caught him, right?"

"... Fumu."

"And? Some people in the Phantom Troupe were smashed to pieces, but who did it?"

"............"

"... You cannot cheat."

"Is that the Shalnark we met yesterday?"

"What did the joints say to him? Under the escort of the Phantom Troupe, I checked the body of the captive. His joints must be very painful."

... Ah, I spoke ill...

"... Really, I didn't capture him by my own power."

"There are quite a few friends like Gon, and we worked together to capture him."

"Hehe. It seems he has been trained. Have you ever trained yourself?

Phantom Troupe, there are quite a few people stronger than Gon. Do such strong Aisha and Gon fight side by side? Just like with the Chimera Ants, Aisha will fight alone."

Oh no... it's over...

The more I talk, the deeper I dig my own grave. Which great detective are you? Yes, the culprit is me...

"No, that... Aisha."

"I don't want you to admit what happened. It is generally foreseeable."

"I am a little curious about the conversation between Netero and you on the phone."

Guha, did you even ask this? Netero, getting rid of those people... isn't it obvious?

Uranus rolled around on the cushion.

"It doesn't matter. If you don't tell me."

"Everyone has at least one secret."

"... Excuse me."

Return the License to its original position.... I shouldn't have looked at the License I left behind. But are you single? Since you are a single Rune Hunter, you must be a top-tier Divine Rune user. Then I am convinced.

"This is really great."

"I can't believe I caught a group of skilled players without killing a single person."

"It's absolutely impossible for me.... I respect you."

This is just a Coincidence.

At least one or two people might have died. Not just the Brigade, but my comrades and my father. I can't afford anything. I don't want to attribute this result to myself.

"... Well, you don't have to worry."

"Hmm?"

Do you mind? What are you talking about?

"Because the Phantom Troupe's injuries have all healed."

"I didn't check until the end, but I think it might have healed completely."

Hmm...

Ah, is that so? Do you think Uranus is worried about the serious damage I caused to his Phantom Troupe? I wouldn't even say I don't mind at all...

──Hmm?

"Hmm... you said you healed them?"

Bekon. And Uranus shook his body.

Hehe... can you solve it?

I wish I could heal that many wounds. I heard from Leorio that it is difficult. That's why I asked on the premise that you don't have to make it heal completely.

Uranus turned to us with an air that seemed to make a sharp sound.

"That..."

"Is it bad after all? Such a jerk, let us heal him completely..."

... What is it. Uranus, you misunderstood something. I feel like I can't do anything because I didn't talk about the situation properly.

"No, I wouldn't say that."

"... Not."

"Uranus, can you heal me?"

"Ah? ——Ah."

"Oh no! Over there..."

"I intended to hide it a little more, but I did it..."

... Seriously? How talented is this person.

"If you can, I would like to ask you."

"How did you heal?"

"..."

"You would expect it, but that is a divine character.... Not just immediate. Fatal wounds may not be treated in time."

At most, it accelerates normal healing."

Teeth? No, you really are an idiot.

"No, no, no. Acceleration is a lie, right?

I mean, you healed your arm and leg, right? Thorough healing means—"

"Uh...

That is correct.

I think Feitan's arm and Phinks's leg have returned to normal...

It just took time to play, it doesn't mean it's the same as before. I just made up for it."

...... Play. Leorio-san's 【Shosenjutsu/Hoimi】 might not be able to heal it.

Wow, isn't this guy dangerous? Even if it's just a precious healing ability, it can be done using Godhood. That's too versatile... although it takes time, it can handle things to a level close to 'Angel's Breath'......

"... Have you kept it a secret from others that you can heal?"

"Hmm... I know.

I know that if many people found out, they would do many things, and I wasn't a doctor to begin with.... I know that because of these eyes, I am very suitable for the role of a healer."

... I guess. But he is too conceited. I don't want to do that.

"Generally speaking, if you found out I could heal you, you would definitely help me, right?

If it were Aisha, it seems she would use it for unreasonable training."

Jiku.... Ahaha, completely ignored.

Uranus's mouth corners pointed, looking at me, who was avoiding his face, with half-squinted eyes.

"That reaction is a Puppet after all, isn't it?

I will say this first, but I won't use it for training or anything else, because I can gently take my aura away.

Also, I refuse the unreasonable idea that I can heal!

Remember, you cannot heal fatal wounds."

"Yes..."

I was scolded. Woohoo, did I play that badly?

... No. Due to Uranus's personality, I don't know if such a training method would be allowed in the end. It's difficult.

Uranus kindly healed the Phantom Troupe...
