Hunter x Hunter: Call Me Master Inventor

Seeing the short, fat man's appalling behavior, the tall, blond man felt even more disgusted.

"After this mission is over, we'll deal with this guy..."

"Um?!"

Just as the tall, blond man was pondering what to do next, he was startled by the two small tentacles that were swaying slightly in front of him.

"This is... a cockroach?!"

He stared blankly at the cockroach that had suddenly crawled in through the hole.

However, he quickly realized what was happening, and his face turned deathly pale.

"Release your power right now!!"

He immediately yelled at the short, fat man with thick lips.

The white foam from his saliva, spitting out in his excitement, landed directly on the face of the short, fat man with thick lips.

"ah?!"

The sudden commotion from his companion startled the short, stout man with thick lips.

However, he reacted very quickly.

Although he didn't know what had happened, since his trusted companion had given him such an order, he was eager to do as he was told.

However~

"Too late, you bastard!!"

Looking at the dense swarm of cockroaches rushing in from the outer edge of the yellowish-brown sphere, the tall, blond-haired man wore a bitter smile.

"You're going to kill me!!"

"This can't be happening!!"

The short, stout man with thick lips also saw so many cockroaches that had invaded, and he felt extremely horrified.

He instinctively wailed:

"The soil I create also has the effect of repelling living creatures."

"When they see this little ball of soil of mine, they should either instinctively ignore it or simply walk away in disgust!!"

"How did this swarm of cockroaches suddenly get in here?!"

Upon hearing this, the tall, blond-haired man was so angry that he could barely speak.

As you said, it has an avoidance effect on ordinary creatures.

So, with so many cockroaches getting in, isn't this unusual?!

It's obvious that someone is taking some measures and actions; this is definitely the work of a professional hunter or a Nen user!

He simply couldn't be bothered to deal with such a pig-brained person.

"Is she a Manipulation-type Nen user?!"

The tall, blond-haired man also felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

Even the short, stout man with thick lips immediately began working to dispel his soil-encasing ability...

Even though he had already frantically wrapped his maximum mental energy and power around his body at the very first moment...

He also felt completely insecure.

The other party did not simply release so many cockroaches to overwhelm them; it was not a crude and ruthless act.

Either these cockroaches possess some extraordinary ability, or this is their primary objective.

"It serves as a platform, transporting things here!"

In such a closed environment, if these cockroaches were to bring in something extremely dangerous, they wouldn't be able to escape.

For example~

"A small but powerful bomb?"

Outside in the forest, beside the two-headed wolf, Yinda was taken aback by von Clay's question.

"Are you referring to bombs like 'grains of dust'?"

Yinda gestured with both hands:

"Is it that bomb, the size of a grain of rice, or even smaller?"

"That's right."

"Von Clay said with a smile."

"That bomb must be very powerful, right?"

"Uh, I haven't used it myself, I've just heard about it from other people."

Yinda only shared what he knew:

"I heard that the bomb's power might not be ideal because of its small size."

"Even so, blowing up a small three-story house is not a problem."

"And I've also heard that the team that made this bomb was very dissatisfied with the power of this 'dust grain'."

"We also plan to develop a bomb with the explosive power of a nuclear explosion, although it may be slightly larger than a grain of dust."

"Those crazy guys, they even seem to have come up with a name for themselves, something like 'Rose'..."

Roses?

It seems they either came from poor backgrounds or became impoverished from researching bombs.

Von Klay speculated.

Upon hearing that it was another bomb with a familiar name, von Klay temporarily memorized it.

Then, quite casually, he said:

"Then you tell me~"

"What would the power be if several 'dust grains' were detonated at the same time?"

"Did they all explode together?!"

Yinda also put his face serious and began to think very carefully about this question:

"That would be enough to blast this whole area apart."

"But that's probably unlikely, isn't it?"

Yinda felt that this was somewhat unrealistic.

"Because 'dust grains' are very well hidden and quite powerful, they are extremely threatening and dangerous."

"It has long been banned from production and sale by V5 and its forces. It has basically disappeared from the market and will not appear again."

"I heard from some hunters that they sell them on the black market near the Heavens Arena, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Oh?"

von Klay asked with great interest:

"How did your hunter group know that it was sold on the black market inside the Sky Arena?"

Yinda glanced at von Clay with some confusion. Although he didn't know why von Clay was interested in this, he still answered honestly:

"Because a professional hunter happened to be at the Sky Arena and also happened to see someone on the black market specifically buying the kind of small but powerful bombs that you mentioned, Bon Clay."

"Then some really discreet guys actually took out 'dust grains' and completed the transaction."

"I wonder who got hold of these bombs."

A hint of worry flashed in Yinda's eyes.

"If it falls into the hands of some criminals who use it for their own selfish gain to do things that harm the world and society, that would be terrible!"

"This is a huge hidden danger! Hopefully, these bombs will be used in the right places!"

The bomb was used in the right place.

Well, it's not that there isn't.

After all, in von Klay's world, Nobel invented gunpowder to build tunnels.

In some places, bombs are indeed needed to clear the way.

However, in the Hunter x Hunter world, it's probably impossible to use it in the right place.

Including this time too~
