Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

I thought I could just leave it running, but I didn't expect there to be side quests?

"Would it be convenient for us to talk in private?"

Abachi stood up and gestured that he wanted to speak with Dia alone.

written request for leave

I have a robot modeling exam on Friday, so I need to take a day off to study.

Chapter 176 Hisoka's Past × Of course I'll agree

Dia turned and gently closed the wooden door, looking at Abachi standing in the shadows at the end of the alley.

"I'm curious, why does this commission have to avoid Sang?"

He crossed his arms and voiced his doubts.

Abachi insisted on speaking privately, which meant he wanted to avoid someone. Excluding Dia and the other two who were supposed to complete her mission, he simply didn't want Sang to know.

"...This matter is too ancient and too dangerous, and ultimately it has nothing to do with him."

Abachi lowered his head and said softly:

“Back then, I picked him up from the street when he was starving. At that time, he kept calling me ‘sister’ behind me, and I made up my mind not to let him take that risk.”

"Hmm... Is your request really that dangerous? Sang is also a skilled Nen user, so in my opinion, she's not bad."

"What if I told you that even professional hunters have sacrificed themselves for this request?"

Dia frowned and said seriously:

Tell me in detail, I'm listening.

Abachi raised her head, her gaze drifting towards the distant past, and slowly, she began to speak:

"Eleven years ago, in this very Gramgasland, a circus troupe with dreams came to settle here..."

Summer of 1987.

Commander Moritonio, along with his crew and his only protégé, Abachi, arrived in Gramgaslan.

On their way here, they found a boy who had fainted.

Despite opposition from others, the leader of the group decided to keep the boy who called himself "Hisoka".

He performed with the circus, but hardly anyone liked him.

As they spent more time together afterward, Hisoka and Abachi, being the only two people of the same age, became close friends.

Later, an accident occurred where one of the circus performers who juggled knives was injured, which could cause chaos in the show the following day.

At this critical moment, Hisoka stepped forward and performed a sword-throwing and catching technique that no one knew when he had learned, and achieved a perfect performance in the next day's show.

At that time, Abachi was in the crowd, watching that dazzling young man, watching him intently.

His talent was so great that he could perfectly imitate other people's special skills even after only seeing them once. As a result, the people in the circus began to practice without his permission.

This hero who saved the performance has been effectively isolated.

However, this is not a bad thing for Abachi, because it means she can spend more time with her only companion.

Leader Moritonio recognized Hisoka's extraordinary talent and began to take him on as a disciple, just like Abach, to teach him Nen.

Later, Hisoka reached Abachi's level in a week and quickly surpassed him.

At that time, Abagi felt a mixture of shock and a touch of unacknowledged jealousy towards Hisoka...

She was jealous that he joined the group later than her, yet he was able to get the performance qualification so early based on his own abilities; she was jealous that he learned his Nen ability so much faster than her; and she was jealous that he received the leader's favor.

Until the appearance of the "Hundred-Faced Killer"—the bizarre killer whose appearance is different every time he is seen.

One night, Abachi witnessed the "Hundred-Faced Killer" committing a crime.

Abachi, who intended to stop the enemy, was almost killed instead. Hisoka, who descended from the sky, used a playing card to slash open the eyes of the Hundred-Faced Killer and saved her.

After that, she no longer felt jealous of Hisoka. She felt that Hisoka was more qualified to fulfill the unfinished "Hunter's Dream" for the leader.

"But all of that disappeared very quickly. On the very night that the captain won the top prize at Royal Gram with his signature magic, Hisoka and Captain Moritonio vanished without a trace."

Abachi appeared dazed, as if recalling a sad past:

"The dinner that day was full of delicious food that they had never seen before, but they didn't get to eat a single bite."

"I searched for them in the city for a long time, but all I found was the body of the 'Changing Killer'..."

After listening to the story quietly, Dia asked without changing her expression:

"So, you want me to investigate the disappearances of Hisoka and Moritonio from back then?"

"No, there's nothing left to investigate. It happened more than a decade ago, and there are no more clues left."

Abachi shook his head, coming back to his senses:

"I want to ask you to help me find that man named Hisoka. I want to... talk to him in person and ask him about it."

"...But what if he's already dead? What are his distinguishing features?"

Dia feigned doubt, but inwardly she was gradually overjoyed.

I have a feeling this will be entertaining.

"If he didn't dye his hair later, he should have red hair, gold pupils, and long, narrow eyes. He is also a Nen user of the Transmutation type."

"As for whether he is dead or alive, I feel that he is not dead. The reason is that I later commissioned a professional hunter to look for someone who might be Hisoka. As a result, after that professional hunter sent a message saying 'Found him,' he was suddenly killed."

Abachi's expression turned serious:

“I don’t know what happened to that hunter, but at least his information proves that Hisoka is indeed still alive.”

Indeed, he's still alive. He was just pretending to be a master in front of you without saying a word.

Dia stroked her chin, nodded, and said nothing.

“If you, Mr. Dia, are unwilling to accept this commission, I can accept it. This is not a provocation or anything like that. It is not a rational thing to risk one’s life for such a ridiculous commission.”

Abachi added solemnly that she had assumed Dia was hesitant about accepting the offer since he remained silent, and this reaction was not unexpected.

It would be perfectly normal for Dia not to accept the commission.

Searching the world for someone without any clue is incredibly difficult, not to mention the danger to one's life, and the reward is nothing more than a gem worth a mere 100 million jenny.

That's why, after that, Abachi tried to post many commissions, but no one was willing to take them. Asking Dia for help today was just a habitual thing for her.

But to her surprise, Dia suddenly smiled mysteriously and readily agreed:

“It’s not that I’m refusing, I’m just thinking about how to complete this task. Abachi, you just focus on tonight’s performance and try your best to win the top prize. Leave this matter to me.”

Dia was quite enthusiastic; she almost grabbed Abach and begged him to take over the task.

Seeing this, Abachi was also confused and made a few "uh-huh" sounds, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I don't know what happened, judging from Dia's appearance, she must have found a way to complete the request...

Chapter 277 Stealing Gems × Hisoka's Investigation

"Let me make this clear first, you said you wanted to go, I didn't force you."

Not far from the enormous palace, three figures hid on the roof of a small domed building, gazing at the palace, which was only lit by scattered lights.

Dia stood at the edge, the night wind ruffling his hair. He turned and confirmed with Hisoka again:

"You didn't want to see Abachi, and you didn't want to run away, so you came here to steal the gems."

"No need to repeat myself, I'm sure."

Hisoka showed no emotion, he just stared at the palace, and suddenly he moved and jumped off the edge!

With a flick of his right hand, Hisoka released a pink, gum-like wisp of Nen that landed gently on the palace wall.

At the same time, his spiritual energy began to contract violently, pulling him towards the palace like an arrow!

"...Honestly, with his strength, he shouldn't be afraid of what that woman might do to him, so why not just meet her?"

Pokson looked at Hisoka, who was determined to sneak into the family headquarters established by Gram Gala, and asked Dia in confusion.

"Because he is the kind of person who has no interest in the past, meeting old friends from his youth would probably be a boring and troublesome thing for him."

Dia was not surprised by Hisoka's choice.

In fact, Dia suspected that if Abachi continued to pursue Hisoka, she might be killed by Hisoka sooner or later.

Hisoka is too lazy to kill, not against killing. But if someone really annoys him, he won't show mercy to anyone.

So after Dia and Hisoka explained the contents of Abachi's request, he gave Hisoka three choices.

One option is for Dia to force him to meet Abachi, and then completely resolve the historical issues.

Secondly, if Abachi and Sang steal the Star of Gram before Abachi and Sang win the top prize of the Gram Festival, Abachi will definitely not be able to pay the commission.

Thirdly, they simply deserted!

Of course, we now know that Hisoka chose the second path, the most difficult, arduous, and thankless one.

But to be honest, Dia still hoped that Hisoka wouldn't be able to steal that gem.

Because he also wanted to have some fun.

"Let's go to the Royal Gram Hotel."

Instead of standing there waiting for Hisoka, Dia turned around and took Poxon away from where they were, heading towards the performance venue for the evening.

Abachi and Sang were already there preparing for the show.

Inside the palace.

Hisoka landed quietly on a sloping roof.
