Chapter 236

Escaping the tunnel, I looked up at the sky. The Sun was high. It was already nearly noon.

As I turned around, three people emerged from the tunnel one after another.

"Otsu."

"A Wonderful Workday."

"Oh my. Ha, I'm tired..."

"Meow."

*Sigh*, I wonder if Sakura is saying she's tired too.

"Thanks for everyone's hard work.

So, what should we do now?"

When I asked, Meleoron, who had a cat on top of him, began to think with a weary face.

"Hmm...

I threw away water and food to pick up extra cards, so let's sell some cards to make money.

So, let's go to Antokiba to have lunch."

"I also have to go get my backpack."

"Ah, yes. That's right."

"What about Sakura?"

When Seam heard that, Meleoron's face turned pale.

"Um... I'm sorry about this character, um?

I'm going to make it disappear."

"Eh!"

"Well, even if you say that.

What do you intend to do with a useless flash? It's an Obstacle."

"Meow meow!"

I protested in my heart, ignoring Meleoron.

"Well, seriously, it's too conspicuous to carry a Nen Beast, so I'm going to say goodbye here."

"Ugh..."

Seam was dissatisfied, even though I said that. I know how you feel, but... but Meleoron is too tired. Maintaining the Nen Beast while fighting seems to have exhausted him.

"... Then let me hug you one last time."

"Meow."

Sakura had been hugged several times today. Seam stroked his back.

"Sorry, I can't take you with me."

"Meow..."

Oh. I felt guilty. Yes, wait a moment.

Meleoron looked troubled too. This is correct...

"Look. Don't make things awkward for everyone.

It's not like I'll never see you again."

"Yes..."

Seam seemed to agree with Meleoron's words.

"... Then I'm turning it off."

Meleoron touched Sakura's back while Seam was still holding her. It turned into light and vanished.

"..."

Oh, what is this atmosphere? Is the dampness a bit too influential, that cat? How healing we were.

He cheered up, sold 40 Kobold Warriors at the Tolaria Trade Shop, and took out his savings to have 400,000 Jenny. Went to the Inn to get his backpack.

Seam, I'm not comfortable at all... He didn't seem dissatisfied about being forced to carry a Heavy load, but it felt like he didn't care. It seems Sakura was the favorite.

Now, we just need to wait for time to solve the problem. I'm pretty sure I can't go with you.

Anyway, we flew to Antokiba on our second arrival.

A regular restaurant in Antokiba.

When I ordered a huge pilaf, the three of us also ordered a reasonable amount.... No, Seam was just having a snack.

"Seam.

I have Training later, so if I don't eat properly, I won't be able to maintain it."

"... Because I'm not very hungry."

Well, that's fine. In fact, Seam had the least amount of exercise and had eaten two breakfasts. However, the answer seemed to be much more than that. I really didn't have an appetite.

"... Shouldn't I have called Sakura?"

"Don't say that."

Seam spoke directly to Meleoron. It was like that after all. I'm in trouble...

"Calling that girl, and it consumes this much Aura?"

I asked. The main reason Meleoron didn't want to call him was that he was embarrassed, but if he consumed too much Aura at the start, he couldn't just call him casually.

Meleoron made a difficult face.

"Hmm...

Compared to my other abilities, it's fine when summoning Sakura."

"The problem is the maintenance cost. While I am replenishing Sakura's Aura, I cannot recover at all."

"Probably. In the Absolute state, I cannot inject Aura into the Nen Beast Sakura. Uranus usually tries to recover with the help of Absolute, so just shaving off that time is painful. Besides, Sakura's Aura is also being replenished, so it's a double loss."

"Even if I had spare time, if I pointlessly used up my Aura and ended up running out, that wouldn't be funny."

"... Even if I could call you, perhaps before I go to sleep."

Uranus is undoubtedly one of the strengths of this team. Basic Nen. If his Aura is exhausted, our strength will inevitably decline until he recovers. If another player pokes you, you might be in trouble.... If you ask me, I want you to stop before you go to sleep. This doesn't mean you won't be attacked at night.

"Seam.

Forget about that child."

"No."

Oh, I made myself clear. This is unusual.

I didn't expect to be rejected like this, but Meleoron also gave me a look.

Uranus tapped the table with his Finger, his face weak as he faced Seam, who continued to protest silently.

"..."

"Haha... really, I don't like it.... Understood.

Before sleep, if only for a while, I will call Sakura."

"Really!?"

Oh. Uranus, you said... I know how you feel, but with this Seam, you've been asking for Sakura? Do you call me every day?

"On the contrary.

Proper Training. If you do your best, I will call you that night.

If you skip it, I won't call you that day.... How about this?"

"Understood! I will ganbaru!"

"Oh, ho. No cash."

I agreed with Meleoron's words with a bitter smile. This is the same as not living in an Inn. I want Seam to be more diligent in Training, but... I wonder what will happen. Should I say impure?

But there is a reason, okay?

Gon's goal is to meet his father and become a Hunter like Ging. He must understand that power is essential.

Killua—he didn't tell me everything, but it seems he has many circumstances. Devoting himself entirely to Training other than Gon is not something he can accomplish with his talent alone.

Not to mention Kurapika. Without this kind of motivation, I don't think I could have endured such a large amount of Training. Whatever the reason, I want to sincerely praise you for following me all this time.... Well, I feel like my personality has become like that. No, I'm not the only one who should be blamed for this. He isn't good at Biscuit either, yes.

Seeming to shyly pick up the menu,

"... Uranus, can I ask you a little more?"

"Oh, very well.

Eat more and save your stamina. That way you will get the results of the Training."

"Wait a minute, there is a huge pilaf.

If you finish the meal within 30 minutes, it's free!

Also, a 'Galgaider' gift!

Let's start!"

"Bandai Tamashii"

"Ah, I've lost my appetite..."

Eh, Seam, why? I don't understand.

I got the Galgaider as planned. After lunch, we went to the Trade Shop in Antokiba.

Seam endured the penance of selling cards to Mr. Gori 49 times. Finally, I was also able to buy the B-rank designated pocket card here.

I disposed of the remaining cards taken from the mine and the Antidote of items no longer needed.

I saved a little money and left the shop with 900,000 Jenny.

"Uranus, do you carry that much money with you?"

"Yes.

Rather than entrusting it to Antokiba, it's better to give as much money as possible to Masadora. Of course, I will only go to Masadora after completing the Training in Otania."

"... Then, after replenishing Magic in Masadora, go sightseeing in Rubikuta?"

"That's what I mean.

I want to see Rubikuta slowly at night. Either way, there isn't much 'reward' left. I have to replenish first."

Well, I'll leave the judgment on that to you. Uranus won't do anything bad.

"Then let's all fly to Otania."

So, "return" to Otania.

It is a calm cityscape that I have long been accustomed to, but now I see other players here and there. She wasn't there at all this morning, and she usually almost never is.

"... I strangely see players."

"Oh, because today is the 17th.

The road race for 'Picking' can be held soon."

"Oh, now that I remember, that's how it is."

"Yeah, it's about to start, and then it'll be gone."

While chatting like this, I was healed by the calm autumn scenery and went to the shopping mall.

I spent a full 10,000 Jenny to buy water, food, a Towel, and a Wristband. After that, I headed to the outskirts of Otania, where there was no one, then left the city and walked to the forest where the Training was located.

Come on, this is the start of an interesting Training.

About 2 people are tired, but you know what?

In a circular plaza surrounded by trees, I immediately dug up the ground to confirm that the Training items were safe.

Just like yesterday, I wore a total of 300kg, while Meleoron and Seam wore a total of 100kg.

"Tsk tsk...!"

Before I could do anything, I heard Seam groaning, but I ignored it. Hahahaha. If you skip it, you won't be able to see the cherry blossoms. I will do my best.

Even though Meleoron looked tight, he felt more relaxed than yesterday. If it were light Kumite, maybe I could do it sooner. As long as one can master Aura well, one should be able to become quite a user.

When I was Training for Uranus, I bought four extra Wristbands to write the weight characters on them.... I have already finished one thing. It is still early.

"Then, Seam, please walk slowly.

You can rest when you reach your limit, but walk as much as you can."

"Um, yes. I understand..."

"Meleoron, do some light exercise, then run."

"Hm?

I can tell you easily..."

"What are you talking about, this has only just begun.

First, be able to move normally.

You can't even perform basic movements, let alone enhance your physical strength, Ninjutsu, everything—why aren't you used to it?"

"No no no...

The weight. Because the weight is strange."

"What will you do if you are such a frustrated Nen user?

Yes, start!"

"Wow."

"Shut up, Demon girl!"

"All done."

"In a rush!?"

When he said he created Uranus, I forgot to tell him. What Demon girl, I don't understand any of it.

Received and put on four 25kg Wristbands. A total of 400kg. Hmm, the weight is good, but the load balance is bad. 200 on the torso, 50 on each limb. In this case, it seems better to train each part than to exercise the whole body.

When I consulted with Uranus, who was resting temporarily,

"Ah, the weight balance is bad after all...

Sorry. I should have asked you if you were okay first."

"Ah, no. But it's not too Heavy either.

It's just that if it stays like this, it's a bit difficult to train...

Can you make the best one a bit heavier?"

"I can do it, but...

However, it is possible that Meleoron and the others will wear them later."

"That might be the case.

But, I already have 200kg, do I really have to wear it?"

"Hmm..."

Uranus turned his head. From my perspective, it is actually a delicate place. It depends on how long you train here.

"..."

"It's fine. The vests Meleoron and the others are wearing now, just make them heavier."

"Oh! Will you do it?"

When I clapped my hands unintentionally, Uranus smiled bitterly,

"Okay. How much?"

"Um, adding 100 would be 300 or something..."

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

"... Adding 50 is fine."

"... Yeah. Let's do that for now.

Then take off your vest and give it to me?"

"Oh, yes."

When I took off the vest, there was a muttering sound.

"... Hey, Seam.

There's a pretty girl over there who wants to increase her weight by 1.5 times a day."

"I can't believe it...

What kind of body do you have?"

"That's not enough, so a total of 450kg.

That kid isn't a muscular, manly type. The human body is strange."

"It's much better than us, isn't it?"

We looked at each other,

"... Because. Aisha."

"What do you think I am?"

I don't understand.

... No, really, it's not just those two, what does everyone think of me?

"Hey, Seam. If you are lazy, I will think you are slacking off."

"I'm sorry!"

"Meleoron, don't do gymnastics! If you aren't prepared, you will get hurt!"

"Hahahahahaha"

"God..."

I crossed my arms and watched Uranus write the Divine runes. I felt like I was working while worrying about something.

"... You're overthinking it."

"Mm, mm.

The Kamiji I drew, each character is 5kg Heavy, but if it's rough, the weight will be uneven. I am considering the balance already achieved with Toko."

I see. I am sure it is balanced when I wear it. I don't think it's okay to make them evenly Heavy, so it is natural to consider that.

"It's too Heavy, the vest can't bear its own weight, and I still have to add protective Divine Runes; if I add a Divine Rune casually, the space for drawing will be used up."

Oh, that's right. I thought it wouldn't break well, but I have already increased the power appropriately.

"Yeah... is this okay?

I don't want to pick it up again, so pick it up."

"Yes, yes."

Wow, it became Heavy. Is today enough? I must get used to it.

"Then I will start my Training.

Think about how Uranus would explain the power of that Kamiji, right?"

"... Heh, you remember correctly, right?

Do you understand? Before Aisha rests, I will think about it."

"Please.

Meleoron. Now that you have finished your gymnastics, start running.

Seam. Don't stand still, take a step or half a step."

A dirty voice came, but I ignored it completely. Hahahahaha. Training is painful. Be encouraged.

I will miss my Kumite partner soon, so besides improving my physical fitness, I also imagine my opponent and do virtual Kumite. With this weight, movements close to actual combat will be quite a burden. Eliminate waste and execute effective attacks and defenses with minimal movements. Of course, moving.

Uranus looked at me while looking at Meleoron and Seam. Interested.

Perhaps he is not just looking at the situation with those eyes. I can see he is trying to gauge the signs of his skills.

I must do something about Uranus's Training... he usually rests well, but I can't just keep things as they are. End now.

──An hour passed.

As expected, the load increased, and I was also a bit tired because I increased yesterday's exercise volume.

Let the almost motionless Meleoron and Seam have a good rest. I also rested together and ingested water and nutrition.

Just as everyone sat down to rest, when I urged Uranus with my gaze, Uranus finally spoke.

"... Then I will explain.

I am really reluctant."

"Meleoron, Seam.

I think you understand, but absolutely do not talk about it."

"Yes..."

"Not obvious... what are you holding yourself back for..."

He returned with a tired voice. Two Uranus-protected people because if we spread news about Uranus's ability, we will also be in trouble. Forcing yourself to listen like this is really not good.

Just out of curiosity, I really want to learn more about its power. After all, in the future, we may never encounter a better Godhood user than Uranus. I don't want to miss the opportunity to learn later.

"The High-Speed Kamiji Inscription I use is a combination of four elements.

The first is the knowledge of Kamiji. This is just knowledge.

The second is the ability to collect Aura at a single point at the fingertips, even in an empty space, to carve Kamiji. This is a Nen Ability.

The third is High-Speed Kamiji Inscription. This is also a Nen Ability, but it takes a lot of time to adapt. Of course, repeating the same thing will be faster.

The fourth is Spell Casting. This chanting is a limitation of the ability, so if you want to omit it, you can discard it, but doing so will greatly increase your Aura consumption.

──Simply put, that's it."

Hmm.... Hmm?

I believe you can explain it, but this is not enough.

The knowledge of Kamiji, this is easy to understand.

If you get used to it, you will be able to write the same Kamiji quickly. This is also natural. Me too.

The limitation requires Spell Casting, and abandoning Spell Casting as a Vow will increase Aura consumption. I can understand this point too.... Is it a Spell after all? Ah, my back feels so itchy...

Moreover, it is too mysterious, after all, it is a Divine Rune carved in the air. What is that? What kind of ability is that?

"That...

How did you obtain such an ability to write Kamiji in the air?"

"Maybe I can't help but ask.

After all, no matter how you think about it, it is a Specialist System, isn't it? You can't explain it with the other five systems."

I don't know what to do.

First of all, the purpose of writing Kamiji is to allow the influence of Nen Ability on specific objects to last for a long time. Of course, the Divine itself also has a role, but in many cases, it is limited to a simple effect. Like a door seal. Especially the Aura reaction type is a fairly large category.

So, even if you make a mistake, it is not something that can be used like Magic. If you reach that point, even if you try to Manipulate the Nen Ability itself instead of various abilities in the Divine Rune field, you will always encounter memory problems.

If it were true that increasing the level of Divine Rune could save memory, surely someone would have already done it. After all, my understanding is that Divine Runes are merely an aid to the mind... so what of it?

In short...

It cannot be called a Nen Ability, nor can it be called Divine, it is only the power of Uranus.

This is amazing... it is completely finished.

"Hey, even if you ask me, it's useless, right?"

Uranus said with a sullen face. Even my brothers and sisters don't seem to understand. Even if you have questions, you might not know how to ask them.

When Uranus saw this,

"Aisha, how much do you know about Kamiji?"

"..."

I thought I understood a little, but it is not enough to have a satisfying conversation with an expert.

I mean, if you show me that many things, you will lose confidence...

"Hmm. I thought you wanted to know more."

"Hmm... do you care?"

Isn't this a huge deviation from what Uranus said before about "leaving"?

There are too many things you can do..."

"Ah, yes..."

I believe you know why I had to keep it Hidden, and I apologize for that. I am sorry for keeping my mouth shut."

"House..."

"Indeed, you can do all sorts of things without worrying about memory, thanks to the high-speed carving of this Kamiji. It's fine, but..."

"Is this, after all, a memory measurement?"

"Yes."

I mean, it's unreasonable to come up with a lot of things, but you can't remember and use them, right?"

"Right, hmm..."

I also thought about the unreasonableness of memory in this world. In fact, acquiring it requires a period of Training, so it should be impossible to learn many things, but if it is an ability that is easy to acquire, then there is still a desire to learn many things.

But once you learn the ability of "Fire", you cannot forget it... even if it becomes unusable. It is truly too unreasonable.

In front of me is someone who has overcome this unreasonableness. How enviable...

"However, without strict restrictions and pledges, it seems unlikely that we could use a large number of abilities..."

"Hmm."

As for me, I try to pass the burden to Aura. Hmm, Aisha too, right?"

"... However, that is true."

It is undeniable that whether it is the Angel's Veil or the Boss Attribute, they are all dependent on the limitations of the amount of Aura. Especially the Angel's Veil, the energy consumed is so great that other Nen users cannot master it.

"First of all, this is not a bad idea."

"It seems that besides me, there are others who can use a wide variety of Nen Abilities."

"... For example, is it the leader of the Phantom Troupe?"

"Yes, Chrollo too."

Most of the abilities you steal from others are useless unless the person you stole them from is still alive."

"... I don't want to praise the idea of stealing abilities, but I think it makes sense. Memory is the same, but it can shorten the Cultivation time for performing abilities."

I wonder how Uranus overcame this..."

"Divine Governance"

..., no no no. So this shouldn't be a convenient thing, right?

"Honestly, I don't think the God role is that useful."

Supporting the original Nen Ability is the effect of a normal Divine Rune, just like you are demonstrating how to use it like Magic..."

"Really? Besides me, there are other examples, right?"

Saying this, Uranus pointed at the ground.

... Ah, well, that's for sure.

"Greed Island also did an amazing thing..."

"Correct?"

No, but... I still know Greed Island. It must have been made by a bunch of people with Nen over a long period of time. If time is needed, the God role can be anything, and even more so if there is manpower.

But isn't there only one Uranus? I have no way to do that.

"The biggest problem for me is how fast you write Kamiji."

How do you write so fast? There is nothing.

"... This goes back to the first answer."

Improve ability with knowledge and experience, and make up for deficiencies with restrictions."

That is it."

... First of all, if I let you explain Specialist-type abilities in a convincing way, that would be a problem, right?"

"Hmm, hmm... that's right."

"I don't have confidence either."

Meleoron and I are also Specialist types. Even if someone asked for a convincing explanation, I have confidence that I would be in trouble. Kurapika too. Except for the Scarlet Eyes, there is no other way to explain it. If you know what it is, it should be possible to reproduce it with the other five systems."

"You two."

After listening to my story, do you think it's useful?"

"I don't know."

"I only just made the Discovery that this isn't something that can be settled in a day or two, even if it's just for reference."

Yes... Meleoron is right. I want to know if Uranus will teach me kamiji. If you acquire knowledge, it seems a bit flexible.

So, do you want to talk with me tonight?

"Thank you, Uranus.

Now, you two, please end your rest and continue your Training.

Meleoron and Seam both rested too early, so try to keep to the rest time."

"Wow."

This is bad. They are troublesome children.
