Chapter 237

Meleoron's running speed makes it hard to decide whether it is walking or running. The seams of his steps seem as if they might fall apart at the same time he is becoming a hero.

Uranus beckons to me as I finish my Fixed Training, letting out a sigh of relief.

Uranus beckons even as he approaches. He seems to want to talk in private. I crouch down near Uranus.

"... Hmm. It's about Seam.

After all, 100kg is suddenly too Heavy, isn't it?"

"Is that so?

If you get used to it, I think you will be able to gain quite a bit of muscle strength."

"What...? No, never mind.

But how did you feel yesterday and today?

Meleoron originally had a lot of Aura, which is fine, but Seam's basic body hasn't developed; even if his Aura is moderate and he knows how to control it, he naturally can't move normally."

"Hmm..."

Is my standard wrong? People in this world have the image of becoming strong immediately after Cultivation. I know that untrained people cannot exercise too much. Seam, although she is a Nen Ability user, an Enhancer, and a Chimera Ant... is this what a normal psychologist looks like?

"... Aisha.

Aren't you comparing yourself to Gon and the others? Well, if Seam were an adult, I might be able to do something with that weight. If Seam is an indoor person, wouldn't he lack physical fitness at that age?"

"Oh..."

If you ask me, that might be the case. I didn't go to school in this world, so I don't know the standards very well. There are normal children and women at the Wind school, but there are also self-defense techniques that the weak can learn. I have complaints about the songs, so I won't make you do weight Training. Teaching such a person is just a skill.

I have to adjust the growth rate of a child Nen Ability user downward, don't I? Come to think of it, he might have been lured by Gon or Killua. I forgot the basics: only a few children with Nen can fight.

Hmm. I can't see my Aura right now, so I might have misjudged my growth rate... I originally thought Chimera Ants would naturally become strong quickly.

... If the current situation weren't urgent, the current pace might be fine, but it's a bad idea not to teach practical techniques when you don't know when something might happen.

"Uranus.

Sorry, I'm going to reduce Seam's weight now—"

"Eh...

That's why I said—"

I hurriedly waved at the obviously dissatisfied Uranus,

"Well, that...

It's okay. I didn't hear you."

"Yes?"

You said you weren't good at making it lighter. Hmm... it can't be helped.

Standing up from Uranus's side, I stop and walk over to the seemingly tight Seam,

"Seam.

Please take off your Wristband."

"... Hmm?"

"You can take off the Wristband on your hands and feet.

100kg suddenly feels too Heavy, so let's reduce it by 40kg.

Instead, walk a little faster."

"Uh, but—"

"Isn't it difficult?"

"Hmm, yes... but—"

He seems to peek at Uranus.

"You can take it off.

If you can't force yourself to move correctly, then no matter how long it takes, you won't be able to train seriously.

I want to master some fighting techniques within a month; I can't spend too much time training my body."

"... Do you understand?"

With a reluctant look, Seam takes off the Wristband.... It might be frustrating. It's like being told I'm weaker than my first impression. I might have done something wrong to Seam.

Seam lets your Wristband drop, and your limbs spin around.

"Ah, it feels so light."

That's it.... Maybe the problem is trying to train the best 60 limbs and 40 limbs list at the same time? If you only complete the best 100km from Hana, the situation might be different.

"This is not for fun.

Please walk firmly."

"Yes..."

Seam can walk steadily. Hmm... maybe it's because my core isn't trained, and the Wristband on my hands and feet makes me lose my balance, rather than the weight. Come to think of it, if I let him carry a backpack, he would walk just fine. When I run with a map in one hand, I get a little dizzy.

In this case, it might be a good idea to take off the vest and only wear the Wristband to cultivate a sense of balance. Without missing too much, training one by one might be more efficient. Seam's motor nerves don't seem good enough to spend time training this and that at the same time.

Meleoron, watching Seam, speeds up his running. She must have something on her mind. I can tell how worried you are about your brother.

I pick up the Wristband Seam left behind. 4x10kg. Unless you are Nen, this is not something a child should wear.

Uranus stands up and walks toward me.

"Aisha.

My water and food are almost gone, so I want to go and replenish them."

"Hmm?

I don't mind, but..."

"Meleoron, Seam."

"We are going shopping. I will be back soon."

"Okay! Let's go!"

"Hmm, I'm going on a date...

Be careful."

"Oh.

Did you hear that, Seam?"

"Ahahaha..."

If Meleoron teases me, I know, but Seam would joke like that. I have a little leeway.

"When other players come, don't hesitate to 'Companion' them.

Even if you make a mistake, don't try to fight."

"I know!

You decided to run away quickly!"

I was worried, but Meleoron's energy seemed to be more than I imagined, so I wonder if it will be a problem in a short time.

"... Aisha, why are you wearing a seam wristband too?"

Uranus looked at me with eyes that could see truly strange things.

"Hmm. Because I want to do Training while shopping.

Uranus, will you protect me?"

"No, that's not right...

Wearing it, Aisha is already approaching five hundred jin..."

"I told you from the beginning that I wanted that much, didn't I?

I can walk separately."

"I thought I invited you to take a break, but...

I don't mind. Let's go."

"Yes.

... You two, please don't skip!"

"Ouch."

I don't like your reply. I don't have any expectations.

After returning to Otania, Uranus and I strolled around the city. Without a doubt, she was going to the shopping mall, but she was surprisingly relaxed and at ease.

"Aren't you supposed to be back as soon as possible?"

"... If your weight hadn't increased by more than 10 times, that's what I would have done."

Nothing. Please don't say that.

Uranus, you know my weight. Pfft.

"I'm sorry about that.

I wonder how many times my current weight is yours? Uh—"

"Eh!?

Wait a minute. Do you know my weight, Aisha?"

"Now?

I think you know my weight. I don't remember telling you."

Uranus carried out a suicide Explosion. I think I have a good idea of the timing.

"... Sorry, it was a slip of the tongue."

"Huhu. No one is listening, so you don't have to apologize.

But please don't do that in front of those two. I believe you would be teased just like now."

"... I understand. Be careful."

Then back to silence. Enjoying a leisurely stroll. Walking while doing Training like this isn't bad.

We bought water, food, and Towel at the shopping mall, then returned the way we came. Those two shouldn't be slacking off.

Even so, if you two can skip, why invite me to go shopping? Maybe...

"Uranus, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

When I asked, Uranus, walking beside me, looked unmoved,

"Yes...

It's about my Training."

"Ah, I see.

I was thinking of having a serious consultation as soon as possible."

"..."

Before that, there is something I need to talk to you about.

I don't want you two to hear this, so now is the time."

"... Meleoron and Seam too?"

Uranus nodded. Sounds like a serious story... Tell me, but you don't want those two to know.

Uranus was still looking down,

"I want to give you accurate information and tell you about the thing on me.

... In case something happens, maybe only you can handle it."

"That is...

If I don't ask, will it affect your Training?"

"Rather than saying that, if you didn't know beforehand, I don't think you would get any results.

I want to know if this is also a consultation.

I don't know how I could become any more powerful than this."

It looks quite Heavy... He is very skilled at using Divine Language, and he talks too much. I really can't help myself.

"I understand. Please tell me your story."

"Yes...

Didn't I tell you that on my tenth birthday, my family would take care of me?"

"Yes...

... That, the family of yours that I am fond of."

"My father, mother, and older sister. I am a family of four.

None of the three of them wanted to pay attention to me... I think. Because I violated village rules and ran wild as I pleased. It must have been ordered by the bastards in the village, forcing them to pay attention.

... Um, so I won't forgive you. After that, I was truly in pain."

Using a faint tone, a rough feeling of Devil hatred.

Do you hate your family? That is not someone else's problem... My family miraculously restored harmony, but usually, few family bonds are broken and repaired.

"... It's okay. I will reply to you.

When I was being careful, I didn't discover anything unusual. At that time, there really wasn't any change.

Exactly half a year after his tenth birthday, he noticed something strange.

My latent Aura, which was originally 550,000, suddenly dropped to 500,000.

... Not only that, I was also unconscious at the time."

…………Um...

If I remember correctly, it is said that the Royal Guards are 700,000. Uranus, he was 550,000 at age 10? Is this the amount of human Aura?... Ah, yeah, I don't want to say it.

... No, it's more than that now.

"Every six months, your Aura not only drops, but you also fall into a coma?"

"I think there is also the fact that the amount of Aura reduced is too large.

It could be a side effect of the Nen Bead attached to it, or it could be that my body caused me to lose consciousness due to the Heavy burden.

At first, I was in a coma for a week, but I found that being prepared could reduce some of the burden. However, the fact that I cannot move normally for these few days has still not changed.

... There was a presidential election over a month ago, right?"

"Oh yes...

Is Uranus not there?"

"Yes.

The election notice had already arrived, but it was exactly six months after my birthday, so the schedules overlapped.

I told Beans and had him decline it."

"... By the way, when is Uranus's birthday?"

"Um...

Six months after the election schedule, which is August 2nd. It doesn't look like half of the 365 days in a year.

My birthday is February 2nd."

"──Ah!?"

Surprise. Oh my god.

"Eh!? What?"

"I...

My birthday is November 11th."

"Yeah... Ah?

Really! Zoro's eyes. Just like me."

"So...

Gon is May 5th."

"Huh!?... Seriously?"

"There's more.

I chatted for a while at a coffee shop, it was Kurapika. Now it is April 4th."

"Ah!?"

"There are others in my group, they are March 3rd and July 7th respectively."

"Wow!?

What a Coincidence! Wow, interesting...!"

"That's great.

That is why I was surprised to hear Uranus appear on February 2nd."

"I am a better surprise.

I was scared..."

"Ahahaha.

Sorry, I interrupted the discussion."

"Ah, yes."

Hmm, is this a problem I should be concerned about?

"... Regarding your birthday and the fact that you cannot move out in half a year, I will keep it a secret from you two for now. Someday I will talk to you about it, but I don't want to make you worry right now.... Or rather, I want to finish it before the next birthday arrives."

"Hmm... I must do something before then."

"Ah! Wait a moment."

Yes? What is it?

Tianwangxing noticed now, his eyes widening as he looked at me.

"So, Aisha's birthday is coming up?"

"Hmm? Yes, yes..."

Today is September 17th. It is still a little bit ahead.

"Oh my.

... Hmm... As expected, I have to quit the game by then, isn't that terrible?"

"Ah, ah..."

Really.... I completely forgot.... I want to spend my birthday with my mom and dad; if I don't return on my birthday, everyone might seriously look for me...

Then, will you clear the game before November 11th?

No, no, that is impossible. There is no way to clear it from the beginning in less than two months. I am dragging you down...

"I'm sorry...

That is something I should have asked you in advance."

"Oh no, I think it's a bit difficult to notice in advance, right?

Tianwangxing might not want his birthday to be known, and even more so."

"No...

I agree. I hid it, of course..."

This is a complete weakness. It cannot be leaked casually.

Come to think of it, I haven't told you yet that you can easily move between inside and outside the game through a staff account... Well, no rush, let's keep our mouths shut for now. It's hard to explain.

"As for my birthday, we will talk about it later.

Please continue talking about Tianwangxing's body."

"... Do you understand?

At the beginning, there were 550,000 Aura, but every six months it decreases by 500,000, 450,000, 405,000, 360,000..."

I have already told you that I cannot move when it decreases.

Didn't you say that the amount of Aura cannot be increased because lowering Aura has other harms?

"You spoke to me before.

Even if you practice 'Ken'—"

"It's useless. It hasn't increased at all.

On the contrary, my body has almost stopped growing. No matter how much I Training, I cannot gain muscle mass.

I have barely grown taller, but since I was 10 years old, my physique hasn't changed much."

Reasonable. For a 17-year-old man, I think he is nayonayo. Has the skeleton changed too much? It's so hard... I can't even improve my physical fitness.

"Not only has the muscle mass not increased, but as the Aura decreases, it is also scraped away.

Let alone muscles, every function of the body is decaying at the same time."

Wow. No, wait a minute. This is much worse than I imagined.

"... Isn't this a big deal?

Are you sure you're okay?"

"As long as I can move normally, there is no problem in the end...

This is also the reason why I don't want to optimize my body arts."

"Ah...

I see. No matter how you optimize it, six months later—"

"Yes. It will be completely sub-optimal.

The reason I don't want to spend time honing my physique is that it would be a waste of time."

Exceptionally difficult, that...

Then, how should I Training?

"How are you, Aisha?

Any thoughts on my Training plan?"

... Uh, what should I do...

"Please give me time to think.

I don't seem to be able to come up with it quickly."

"Hmm. I will think about it too.

What's wrong?"

I don't know what happened...

The autumn scenery flowing in my field of vision was somehow reflected in a kind of loneliness.
