Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 29 Observations at the Pharmacy

"It's December 30th now. We need to take the transportation to the Ezhen Continent on January 1st. The official exam is on January 7th. We'll need some time to find the exam venue after we arrive on the Ezhen Continent..."

"So the travel time can't exceed five days at most. In this world, which is faster, the ship or the airship?"

The white-haired, blue-eyed boy walked to the center of the fountain square, sat down by the fountain pool, and tilted his head slightly to observe the seagulls flying overhead.

The grey and white seagulls skimming across the sky resemble the traces left behind after the clouds have dispersed.

It seems to fly faster.

He had never been on a ship or airship in this world. Ships were nothing special, but airships…

He really wanted to try it when he read the original anime! He even tried to make one himself, and eventually managed to create a decent-looking airship model.

It can be controlled to take off like a remote-controlled airplane.

However, there were no actual finished products afterward because the cost of producing large finished products was too high, there was not much market demand, and all accessories and facilities had to be customized, which doubled the price.

Even though he was still a primary school student and had never lacked money, he still couldn't come up with that amount of money.

The original airship model he made was then kept in his figurine cabinet and never flew again.

"It must be an airship." Su Wu noticed the redness and swelling on her arm as she threw away the skewers she had finished eating.

As time went on, the area of ​​redness and swelling grew larger and larger.

"A pharmacy... Come to think of it, I think I just saw one..." He stood up calmly and expressionlessly.

"How should I say allergy medication in this world? Surely there aren't any ebastine, loratadine, or acetidine..." He stroked his chin as he walked toward the pharmacy he remembered.

It was a shop located on the very edge of the road. The shop was small and dimly lit, and even the door was small and low. You could easily miss it if you weren't paying attention.

It's like a shop run by dwarfs. You know, the dwarfs in Snow White are all 1.6 meters tall.

But there was a small... mark on the door of that shop.

A mark that's almost invisible unless you look closely—it resembles a diamond shape sandwiched between two Xs.

To Su Wu, it looked very familiar; it was the symbol on a hunter's license.

Six Eyes also detected that there was an individual in the pharmacy whose life energy was stronger than that of an ordinary person.

He decisively stepped forward, pushed open the door, and entered the store without stopping.

The first thing you see is a strangely dressed figure, wearing a black hooded robe, standing in front of a crucible, waving his hands as if performing a ritual.

Inside the crucible was a viscous, dark purple liquid emitting thick black smoke, which was bubbling up under Su Wu's gaze.

It looks exactly like... a wizard hiding in a dark corner who makes poisons or curses people.

"...Voldemort?" Su Wu stopped and stood a short distance away, her tone suspicious.

Do wizards exist in the Hunter world?

"What is that? A new kind of magical beast?" The figure in the black robe slowly replied, turning his head at the same time.

The oversized hood covered most of his face, but the other half that was exposed was extremely pale, even his lips were grayish-white.

Very good, this pale skin makes it even more like a nose and hair.

However, the other person had hair, long black hair tied into a small braid on one side that was sticking out, which could make people confused about the other person's gender for a while.

"I guess so," Su Wu replied to the other person's question about whether Voldemort was a monster.

"I've never seen one before. I wonder if there are any valuable parts on its body that can be used in medicine." The voice of the dark figure was gloomy and weak, indicating a lack of blood and energy.

"Welcome, sir. What kind of medicine would you like to buy?" he asked in a gloomy tone, as if he had just remembered to greet the customer.

"Is it a seafood allergy? Do you have any medicine?" Su Wu felt a slight curiosity about the shop and this Voldemort... cough, shopkeeper.

It's like encountering a strangely dressed and mysterious NPC in a game. Any player could guess that this NPC is hiding a storyline and quest.

"Food allergies are a minor problem..." The gloomy black wizard shopkeeper extinguished the fire, letting the dark purple liquid in the crucible cool down on its own, and then came to Su Wu's side.

He reached out and grabbed Su Wu's arm, raising it while simultaneously lowering his head. After observing her for three seconds, he released her hand.

Su Wu patted the part of her body that had been touched by the other person, feeling uncomfortable.

He almost let the other party use that move to "resolve" him, but luckily he managed to control himself.

"Thank you for your patronage of 10,000 nuns." The shopkeeper, dressed in all black, turned around and said while rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for medicine.

The value of a Jenny is roughly the same as that of a Japanese yen in the real world. Ten thousand Jenny are equivalent to almost five hundred RMB. This medicine seems a bit expensive.

It seemed that the price of the medicine had been questioned more than once before. The gloomy shopkeeper slowly said, "All the herbs come from magical plants, they are genuine."

"This guest isn't an ordinary person, he should understand the value of these things," he said calmly.

As soon as the white-haired boy stepped into the store, he sensed the other party's presence. The other party didn't seem to be hiding anything, openly displaying his extraordinary abilities. This made it easy for him to discover that the seemingly young child in front of him was actually stronger than him.

"One serving, please." Su Wu nodded slightly, without directly answering whether she understood the value of these items.

After throwing down the money, he began to examine the medicinal herbs in the shop.

The wooden shelves were filled with all sorts of strange and unusual things: animal horns, black sand, milky white jelly-like solids, red powder with a faint fluorescent glow, and even things that looked like fruits or vegetables.

"They're all from magical plants and magical beasts, what's this?" Su Wu asked, pointing to the red strawberries in the cabinet.

It looks exactly like a strawberry! And it's a big, plump strawberry that must taste really good.

"The strawberries that grow on the backs of the strawberry turtles from the Shimeile Wetlands are sweet and mild in nature. They have a strengthening effect on the body and can be added to most medicines to adjust the flavor." The gloomy shopkeeper answered questions very seriously and answered every question.

Got it, adding it in will give you a strawberry-flavored medicine.

"What about this?" Su Wu pointed to the red powder on the side.

They glowed beautifully in the dim light.

"The scales on the wings of the vampire butterfly are effective in replenishing bodily deficiencies and can also be used to make a certain kind of medicine..."

"Some kind of drug?" The white-haired, blue-eyed boy seemed somewhat curious.

"These are drugs that adults occasionally use during their nighttime activities. Of course, they can also be used for crimes. The scales of vampire butterflies are also the main ingredient in drugs that cause unconsciousness." The shopkeeper spoke about topics unsuitable for children in a completely calm tone.

"I see." Su Wu nodded thoughtfully.

But to replenish his body's deficiencies... he must need to, after bleeding so much from his nose, right?
