Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

During their casual conversation this afternoon, they established a basic understanding of each other, which led to them going out to eat together.

Dia even casually showed her his pet—a cloud with facial features.

However, during the introduction, he kept saying that it was some kind of rare magical beast.

For some reason, Wuwu has been perched on Dia's shoulder ever since she appeared, staring meaningfully at Poxen, and she still is now.

"Mr. Dia, why is your pet staring at me? Is it hungry...?"

Feeling a little uncomfortable under his gaze, Poxon couldn't help but ask.

"Oh no, that's just its look. It looks fierce, but it doesn't actually mean any harm. You can touch it if you don't believe me."

As Diya spoke, he grabbed the Nen beast from his shoulder and handed it over. Generally speaking, his shoulder was reserved for the throne of the puppet Mumu Ze.

However, it takes a lot of Nen energy for Mumu Ze to possess the doll behind Dia's head from such a far away place, and he has to wait two or three days between uses before he can use it again.

"Forget it, it's the dead of winter, I don't want to get frostbite."

Poxen declined Diya's offer to share the pet, as she clearly remembered how this oddly shaped pet had nearly frozen her into an icicle in the sweltering heat a few months earlier.

"..."

Dia paused, then asked meaningfully:

"Miss Pochi knows my pet very well, she even knows that it absorbs heat from the surface of the human body..."

"Hmm~ This roasted pigeon tastes pretty good, and the braised beef is also very flavorful, almost the same as what I eat at the association's cafeteria..."

Diya buried her head in the pile of food on the table and devoured it all, even taking the time to comment on each item.

Pokson sat opposite him with a blank stare, looking as if she had already washed herself, just like the despair she felt when Dia used a substitute to play tricks on her for an entire night.

Her identity was exposed so quickly, which was something she really hadn't expected.

As always, bad luck strikes.

Let's rewind a few minutes.

When Diya pointed at the white cloud with a half-smile and asked the question that made her want to slap herself a few times.

Pokson could only stand there, unable to utter more than a few words.

no way.

She really couldn't find a reason to brush it off.

In reality, she vaguely sensed that Dia had long suspected her, but was just taking it as a joke and never confronting her about it...

With a sense of self-abandonment, she decisively chose to give up.

Based on her limited understanding of the guy in front of her, she figured he couldn't possibly kill her on the spot.

"Fog~"

The very next moment after Poxon became withdrawn.

The white creature suddenly let out a strange cry, and then pounced on her face without warning!

What happened?!

The sudden attack made Poxon's nerves tense instantly.

I felt a growing sense of suffocation, and a faint aura of death crept in.

Without hesitation, she reached for the pistol at her lower back!

That person certainly won't be intimidated by her gun.

But anyone would instinctively dodge a large-caliber bullet, as long as they can create distance...

"!?"

My hand reached towards my lower back, but found nothing!

Poxon's pupils contracted.

The next instant, she felt as if her wrist was being clamped by an iron clamp, and she couldn't move it at all!

"Don't play with guns on the airship, this is the stratosphere."

Diya's calm voice reached her ears.

He had somehow gotten behind her, snatched her pistol, and subdued her with a backhand!

"Well--"

Everything went white before my eyes, and a suffocating feeling rose up violently, making it impossible to breathe.

What followed was an indescribable despair and bewilderment.

Am I going to die?

It seems like there's no way out for them...

Pokson couldn't believe that he was going to lose his life because of a moment of carelessness and a single wrong decision!

'Is this what a hunter is...?'

As long as there is doubt, one can act ruthlessly without hesitation...

Is this the world as he sees it? How cruel.

Suppress the strange thoughts that arose within him.

Pokson decided to give it one last shot.

With the last of her strength, she kicked her right heel back with all her might, as if making a desperate gamble!

puff……

A dull thud sounded, as if a solid log had been kicked.

Unsurprisingly, nothing was accomplished.

'It's over, this is like the life of a comedian…'

Miss Poker smiled bitterly to herself.

The defining characteristic of comedy is unexpected contrast; wasn't her fleeting death surprising enough?

Forget it, consider it repaying him with his life.

It's a pity I'm still single...

At the critical moment, Poxon's eyes suddenly lit up, and she relaxed her mouth and nose. She subconsciously took a deep breath, and fresh air rushed in!

thump!

"Cough cough cough—!!"

Pokson suddenly knelt on the ground, coughing violently, and the sudden influx of air almost choked her.

"OK, that should clean it up."

Diya looked at the returning Nen Beast with satisfaction, but then looked at Pokson on the ground with a bit of curiosity.

Why did she react so strongly?

All she wanted was for Wuwu to remove the disguise from her face; couldn't she have just tolerated it?

Diya still remembers when he was a child, his kindergarten teacher took a towel and forced him to wash his face because he didn't like to be clean.

Because he was an orphan, the teacher's actions were much rougher than those of the Nian Beast. The teacher would rub the towel wildly, causing him to hold his breath for a long time each time, because if he relaxed his breath, he would inhale a mouthful of the towel.

Diya, who had been used to being forced to wash her face since she was a child, couldn't quite understand why Poxon reacted so strongly.

He pulled out a gun and then kicked me in the groin.

He had no idea that what he saw as simply cleaning up his facial disguise was seen by Pokson as suffocating her...

"How are you feeling? Are you still in pain? Let me see..."

When the coughing subsided, Dia slowly squatted down in front of Poxen, tilting her head like an owl, eager to see what this Miss Poxen really looked like.

"Huh?"

After seeing her true face, Dia was stunned.

What came into view was a familiar, slightly youthful, pretty face.

Pokson's eyes were red and swollen with tears welling up from his mouth. He gritted his teeth and stared resentfully at the head that had poked its way in.

"Miss Poker? It's you!"

Seeing that resentful look in her eyes, Dia scratched her head awkwardly.

He then understood why seeing "Miss Pochi's" hair felt familiar.

Turns out it's an old acquaintance of Youkexin, haha...

"If you want to kill me, just do it already!"

"I can't breathe," Poxon retorted in a hoarse voice.

She didn't know why Dia had suddenly recalled that strange creature; perhaps she wanted to torture her?

"Kill you? Why would I kill you?"

Diya lowered her hand, which was used to hide her embarrassment, and asked curiously:

"Is it something you're planning that would provoke my murderous intent?"

Given his relationship with Mumu Ze, there was absolutely no reason for him to kill Pokson, who was nominally sent by Mumu Ze.

"..."

Pokson decided not to speak until he landed.

She gave away information as soon as she opened her mouth. Is she really not suitable for working as an undercover agent or spy?

"Well……"
