Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Actually, she had forgotten about it before. Because she was afraid that the earpiece might suddenly make a sound during the operation and cause problems, Mu Muze assured her that he would never make a sound unless Qi Duo asked him to speak. She only remembered it later.

Who knew that Diya would act so recklessly and suddenly provoke Mumu Ze...

However, I always felt like I had forgotten something after he interrupted me.

Qiduo looked up thoughtfully, first at Dia who was chattering away, then at the empty flat ground not far away.

"Just kidding! You scared me to death! I really thought you'd been tricked by some bad woman outside, Dia... Waaah..."

Such a cute crying sound, but it sounds so fake.

"What if it's true? I don't know what to do. Diya, you ran so fast, there's no way to lock you up, boohoo..."

What a terrifying cry! There's definitely no normal person in the Kakin royal family.

Dia scratched his face helplessly and could only ask in a gentle tone:

"Stop pretending... uh, I mean stop crying. I'll never make jokes like that again."

Is that all?

Mu Muze instantly stopped crying and spoke in a sweet voice, as if coaxing him:

"Teacher Dia, you almost scared Poker to tears. Aren't you going to make up for it?"

A surprised "Ah!" seemed to come from the other end of the headset, then his mouth seemed to be covered to prevent him from making a sound.

"..."

Diya squinted, pretending not to hear the noise on the other end, and said:

"Then what do you want?"

"Hmm... the latest Scorpio earrings are really pretty, and I just happened to not buy any..."

"Alright, whatever you say."

A satisfied hum came from the other end of the headset, but then Mumu Ze seemed to remember something and asked curiously:

"Oh right, what did you mean by the photos you were talking about with Miss Qiduo just now? And what about B and D? Are they secret codes among you hunters?"

"...You should ask Poker, she'll know more about it."

After saying that, Diya quickly pressed the switch to turn off the headset.

He didn't care what kind of bloodshed might ensue on the other side.

Anyway,

Let's only turn it on when there's something we need to explain; it's really not reasonable to leave it on all the time.

It's not that I'm afraid she'll hear anything she shouldn't hear.

The main concern is what if the battery runs out?

Diya guiltily put away her headset, silently mourning for Poxon for 0.1 seconds, then took out her phone and searched for "Scorpio" to find the latest earrings.

The order was placed and the bill was sent to Qiduo in one smooth motion.

It's reasonable for whoever causes the trouble to pay the price.

"Let's go, let's try to find Prince Marayan first, then we can get out of trouble."

Dia called out to the stunned Qiduo, then prepared to pick up Camilla from the ground and leave.

According to his experiments, as long as there is physical contact, even through clothing, people will not be separated when passing through the invisible wall, but will be counted as one person and teleported to one place.

"and many more……"

Qiduo pointed somewhat confusedly to the open space not far away and asked:

"Dia, did you run into anyone here just now? Like a man in a suit?"

Diya's heart skipped a beat, she changed direction, and said seemingly casually:

"Really? Oh, I think there was one. He claimed to be a private soldier of the Ninth Prince. He wasn't hostile towards us, so I let him leave."

"An illegally formed soldier? Is he really an illegally formed soldier? Have you seen what he looks like? How old is he? What's his name?"

Kido instinctively felt something was off and subconsciously pressed for an answer.

Suddenly a shadow blocked her way.

While blocking Qiduo's view, Dia pretended to be impatient and said:

"Didn't see clearly. It's just an average face. Why do you care what other people look like? What does their age have to do with you?"

Still feeling uneasy, Dia simply shoved Qiduo.

"Huh? Wait a minute..."

Qiduo's train of thought was abruptly interrupted, and she was unconsciously pushed along. Her gaze drifted from where Sherlock had just left to Dia's face.

She froze for a moment.

I'd never seen him with that impatient expression before...

Are you unhappy?

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to Qiduo. She stopped in her tracks, carefully raised her head, and looked directly into Dia's eyes.

"No."

Dia withdrew her hand and replied indifferently.

He was already cursing Sherlock in his mind!

This Zhongdeng guy, he never does anything productive, all he does is cause trouble!

Looks like it's time to give him a grandson to hold and let him go home to enjoy his retirement...

However, his perfunctory attitude was a different story in Qiduo's eyes.

"You're just unhappy."

Qiduo's thoughts were completely drawn to Dia in front of her. She eagerly moved a little closer to him and asked without thinking:

"why?"

"Because I mentioned other men?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Qiduo suddenly found herself tongue-tied, and a blush began to rise to her cheeks.

She didn't know why she said that.

This... this is practically saying that Dia is...

Are you jealous?

Qiduo leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice, her jewel-like eyes curving into a rainbow, revealing an indescribable secret joy and youthful vigor.

What is she saying?

Diya was silent for a moment, her face seemingly etched with dark lines.

But his superhuman mental fortitude brought him back to his senses instantly!

Right, now is the perfect time to shift your focus!

Thinking of this, Dia, with her professionalism instilled, simply shrugged:

"Yes, you're right, I'm just unhappy."

'You beast Sherlock! You've ruined my reputation!'

Dia sullenly avoided Qiduo's scorching gaze, gritting his teeth inwardly, cursing that he would have to clean up the mess left by Sherlock.

"Ugh, what a troublesome kid."

Upon hearing Diya's reply, Qiduo could no longer suppress the corners of her mouth. She made a pretentious sigh and flicked her long hair.

She was sharp-tongued, but inside she was as happy as if she'd eaten honey. (The voice actress for Kido also voiced a little imp in the latest Pokémon series; you can use that voice as a reference here.)

"..."

Diya glanced sideways and felt as if a little dog was barking smugly in front of her.

After waiting a long time for Dia's response, Qi Duo secretly glanced at him and saw that he looked gloomy, as if he had suffered a great blow.

At that moment, her heart softened.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Duo slowly stepped forward as if she had made up her mind...

"Ok?"

Diya, who was pondering how to break the deadlock, suddenly paused and looked down.

A green head was buried in his chest, its hands tightly wrapped around his waist and abdomen, and its two dog ears drooped limply.

Qiduo's voice came out in a muffled tone:

"Don't be angry, I won't say that again."

In her 24 years of life, perhaps due to her aloofness or pride, she had never made such a transgression, but now it was as if she were going with the flow, and everything was just in time.

Those so-called proud mental defenses, the pride of a genius girl, crumbled completely at this moment, leaving only pure shyness and silly joy.

Perhaps long ago, without anyone knowing, the high wall that the girl had painstakingly built had been rudely breached by someone, who planted roses in its place, and only now did she clearly see it.

"……it is good."

Diya's eyes softened, and he took her long hair into his arms, gently pulling her into his embrace, feeling the warmth from his fingertips.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, like amber that had sealed away the sunlight, serene and beautiful.

Sherlock, you are right.

You are allowed to have one more granddaughter.

Considering you invented such an adorable daughter...

Sherlock, who was nowhere to be found, suddenly shivered, feeling a sudden emptiness in his heart, as if he had been cursed.

"Damn it, who's trying to sabotage me? Pariston? King? Byron? Netero?"

Sherlock listed his major enemies and people he had grudges against, then turned and grumbled as he went into a coffee shop.
