Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 96 Drama Queen X Drama Queen

"Awooo—"

A white ball of fluff with black stripes darted in front of the blonde girl, shook its head, and roared at her in a childish voice.

It's clear that it's trying to intimidate the other party by displaying an extremely fierce demeanor.

But Bisky only felt—

"What an adorable little thing!" She picked up the woolen ball and kneaded it wantonly.

The white tiger cub was so dizzy from being rubbed that its face was blank. Then, as if pleading for help, it desperately bit at Su Wu's clothes.

Su Wu glanced at it but ignored it.

If you're too weak, you'll only become someone else's plaything; that's perfectly normal.

But there was this guy who had been sitting in the corner the whole time...

His life energy was much higher than that of ordinary people. In the tavern, he and Bisky were the most conspicuous. Of course, he was somewhat inferior to Bisky.

"With a super cute girl like me here, how can you possibly notice anyone else?" The blonde girl stood up, patted her skirt, and sat down, placing her hands neatly on her thighs. When she wasn't speaking, she had the air of an elegant and quiet young lady.

"What are you doing here? Do you know that person?" Su Wu pushed the untouched rainbow wine in front of her towards Biskey, glancing at the man in the corner before quickly looking away.

Maro realized that the white-haired boy and the blonde girl knew each other, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

"I won't tell you." Bisky held her glass and took small sips.

That's right, she's a girl who's incredibly cute even when she's drinking water!

"You—" Maro looked up and glared at Bisky.

"You can't beat her, Maro," the white-haired boy gently reminded him.

Since you can't beat them, it's best to keep quiet.

The strong have the right to be willful.

But this rule only applies to Maro.

"Your hair has gotten quite short, hasn't it? Want it to get even shorter?" the white-haired boy asked with a light, fluttering smile, seemingly concerned, yet also somewhat provocative.

This must be a provocation!

Who did this?!

Bisky angrily rubbed the tiger cub beside her to vent her frustration, then smiled as if she had just realized something. "You're in trouble, you've been targeted."

"I'm not the only one who recognized the Crystal Feather Bone."

"Why don't you give it to me? That way no one will bother you." Bisky's smile seemed to be full of goodwill and consideration for Su Wu.

She is such a kind and touching young woman.

"Is that the person you're talking about?" Su Wu asked openly, looking at the man in the corner.

Blonde hair, is that glasses or sunglasses? Are the lenses semi-transparent triangles, or acute triangles?

The other person noticed Su Wu's undisguised gaze and quickly looked back at her.

Facing the gaze that the other person was looking back at, Su Wu curled the corners of her mouth.

"What are you looking at? Trash." He made obvious mouth movements, his voice was calm, and his eyes were playful.

The blond man was taken aback, seemingly not expecting to encounter someone like this.

"Cough cough cough—" Bisky, who was taking small sips of her drink to look cute, couldn't help but cough.

This kid, he clearly knows that someone might be targeting him, yet he still goes and provokes them.

"You've alerted them," Bisky warned.

She didn't understand why the other person did this.

Judging from the strength we encountered in the desert, the opponent's strength was only so-so. Was it strong? At least the aura they displayed back then didn't seem particularly strong.

It's just that its momentum is incredibly impressive.

Surprisingly, the other party actually destroyed the labyrinth beneath the desert; it's unclear how they managed to do that.

A smart person would pretend not to know, wait for the other party to make a move, and then seize the opportunity to counterattack, thus achieving a victory over the superior.

Battles between Nen users still rely on brains.

This act of alerting the enemy made Bisky think that Su Wu was brainless.

"What does it matter?" The white-haired boy casually ordered another expensive drink.

"I prefer to let the other person know rather than pretend to be an ignorant prey."

"I've already found you."

"Find a way to continue hunting me." He rested his chin on his hand, his tone expectant.

If the other party knows their plan has been discovered, what will they do?

Will they resort to desperate measures?

The blond man seemed unfazed by the provocation and remained seated. The tavern door opened again, and several people walked in, coming directly to his side. After exchanging a few glances, the man stood up and followed them out of the tavern.

"...That's really indirect." Su Wu sighed.

That makes sense, since it's not some kind of battle anime world.

The Nen users in the Hunter x Hunter world are all very... how should I put it? Very stable? Or perhaps more like, very cautious?

Furthermore, the stronger they are, the more stable they seem to be, and they are less likely to engage in violent clashes at the drop of a hat.

Of course, this statement excludes certain combatants and criminals.

"Maybe they're plotting something against you behind your back—like a sneak attack or something..." Bisky said in a deliberately sinister tone.

Su Wu turned her head to look at the door.

After the blond man and his companion left, many more people entered the tavern.

But this was the first time that it had managed to make the other person turn their head to look.

"What? Could it be someone you know has come..." Bisky also turned her head to look.

A handsome man with black hair, a bandage wrapped around his forehead, and wearing a black suit entered from outside.

Bisky's eyes lit up instantly.

Of course, it wasn't because of his handsome face. Although appreciating handsome men was indeed one of her hobbies, it was obvious that there was something more attractive to her at the moment.

That is--

The man wore light blue earrings on both ears.

That clear blue instantly stirred Bisky's heart.

Liquid ore! It must be liquid ore!

Beautiful! I want it!

Bisky immediately stood up and ran towards the man who had just entered.

"How did he get here..." Su Wu looked at the black-haired man, her gaze lingering for a moment on the bandage on his forehead and his earring, her tone puzzled.

Isn't this guy... Chrollo Lucilfer? His profession is thief, and his identity is the leader of the Phantom Troupe, the brain of the spider.

Yes, he's also the big philanthropist behind Meteor City.

"Does the master know him?" Maro suddenly asked.

"I guess you could say we know each other. He's a very kind and famous person," Su Wu said seriously.

Of course, this title is only known to a small group of people in Meteor City.

Maro sized up the newly appeared man, but sensing no danger from him, he withdrew his gaze.

The blonde girl was almost at the door latch, about to collide head-on with the man, but the man slightly shifted his shoulder, ready to dodge.

Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out outside the tavern.

The strong tremor caused all the wine on the table to fall to the floor.

Many people even fell to the ground because they lost their balance.

"Ah—how scary—" The blonde girl stumbled, screamed, covered her face with her hands, changed direction, and fell precisely into the man's body.

The black-haired man politely extended his hands to support her shoulders, and quickly withdrew them after helping her steady herself.

"Are you alright?" he asked with a gentle smile.

Every move he made exuded elegant gentlemanly manners. Bisky screamed with excitement inside, but on the surface, she appeared as an innocent and shy girl.

"Th...thank you..." She blushed slightly and lifted her skirt to express her gratitude.

"I'm glad you're alright," the man said politely.

Ignore the gunshots and explosions outside the tavern, and the curses and swears of the other patrons inside.

This scene is quite similar to the first encounter between dokidoki and others in a shoujo manga, where they are surrounded by pink bubbles.

Seeing this, Su Wu silently turned her head away, buried her face in her arms, and chuckled softly.

"puff--"

"Hahahahaha—"

Two drama queens have actually met!
