Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Mumu shifted uncomfortably. As a beginner in Nen, she was definitely no match for a seasoned powerhouse like Kido.

In other words, her current situation is actually quite dangerous!

'Oh no, I should have known better than to write that provocative letter. What if she still remembers it? I've walked right into her trap...'

In a corner of the reception room, a wooden clock silently counted the time, its ticking sound seemingly making the surrounding atmosphere even more eerie.

Mumu Ze became increasingly uneasy, and even considered leaving immediately.

The exquisite wooden door let out a soft hum at just the right moment.

The door was gently pushed open, and a person walked in.

Mu Muze's eyes lit up when he saw the person walking in.

The girl in front of me had a very unique temperament. Her features were gentle and beautiful, and her eyes had a scholarly air about them. The puppy earrings on her head added to her cuteness. Her long, smooth green hair, as smooth as fine silk, complemented her jewel-like green eyes. She looked like a very unique and unconventional beauty.

At the same time, Qiduo also looked Mumu Ze up and down on the sofa.

With a noble and elegant demeanor, she resembled a textbook princess, with beautiful long, reddish-brown curly hair, the ends of which seemed to have been deliberately shortened. Her features were delicate and serene, like a pretty and sweet young lady from a modest family, with a touch of childlike innocence in her eyes and brows, as if a royal princess from a picture book had stepped out of a painting.

"You are Mumu Ze? Dia often talks about you to me. I am Qi Duo, and I am his teacher."

Contrary to his expectations of arrogance, the beautiful woman in front of him introduced herself with a graceful smile and then sat down opposite Mu Muze.

"Yes... hello..."

Mumu Ze, somewhat unaccustomed to it, forced a smile and greeted him.

The other person's attitude was too kind, which caught her off guard, and the etiquette she had learned since elementary school did not allow her to behave impolitely.

The two then began to chat in an unexpectedly peaceful atmosphere.

During this time, Mumu Ze would occasionally bring up Dia to see how Qi Duo would react, but to his surprise, the other party responded very calmly.

The way he spoke made it seem as if he truly regarded him as his prized disciple.

It seems that things didn't unfold as she had imagined.

This discovery immediately relieved Mumu Ze, who breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease.

Since we're not competitors, then it's fine.

So, under Qiduo's patient guidance, Mumu Ze gradually let go of his hostile attitude, and the two unexpectedly got along very well.

But in fact, Kito's calm attitude was entirely the result of mental preparation and self-hypnosis on the way there; otherwise, she probably wouldn't be laughing anymore.

"Miss Qiduo, it must be hard for you to handle everything by yourself. Doesn't Teacher Diya usually help you out?"

Mumu Ze asked curiously.

She didn't know much about the Hunter Association, relying entirely on bits and pieces of information that Dia had given her. Now it was a good opportunity to learn more.

"It's lucky he didn't make things worse. Besides, he's never actually at the association; he's always running around. He should be back soon."

Qi Duo smiled reservedly and shook her head, then raised her teacup and took a sip.

"Speaking of which, did you come here to see him because you have some problems with your Nen training, or are you simply here for sightseeing?"

The journey from Kakin to the Republic of Minbo was incredibly complicated, involving diplomatic negotiations alone. Hopefully, she's just here for tourism.

Or if there are any problems on the path of spiritual practice, Nachita can also offer some guidance.

She lowered her head a little shyly, stuck out her little tongue hesitantly, and after a long while, managed to utter a few words:

"Spring has arrived, and he promised to come see me after the New Year... but he hasn't come yet."

“I can’t wait, I want to see him… If possible, I’ll take him with me to see my father…”

Oh, so you wanted to introduce Dia to your parents. No problem...

Wait, what is she saying?

Qi Duo froze for a moment, then stood frozen on the sofa. She felt as if her heartbeat had stopped, her tongue went numb, and her mouth felt as if a spice shop had been overturned, with sour, salty, bitter, and spicy flavors all mixed together.

The clock ticked away, and time slipped through their fingers. For an unknown amount of time, Qiduo remained frozen, staring at the girl whose face was still flushed.

Watching her say those unexpected and hurtful things with that naive attitude.

My heart was racing, and I felt a sharp pain from nowhere.

The sting made Qi Duo feel anxious and dissatisfied, and she looked at Mu Mu Ze again with a scrutinizing gaze.

The girl in front of me really is like a beautiful vase.

Noble, delicate, innocent and carefree, with a bit of a temper, without the airs of a prince, and not particularly clever, except for the joy he exudes when talking about him, you can see right through him at a glance.

But the girl said she wanted to see him.

Bikido always acted with self-righteousness and took it for granted when she was with him.

Were they really that close?

Kido never said this to Dia.

This made her a little angry...

But is there anything wrong with that?

If wanting to see someone is wrong, then everyone is destined to live a wrong and long life.

Even if we take a step back and say that this is not an area where she has the right to criticize.

She knew exactly what the child was saying.

They talk on and on, making it hard for anyone not to understand.

But as if possessed, she gave a dry laugh and, unwilling to give up, whispered:

"The way you're saying it... makes it sound like you like him..."

"Ok?"

Mumu Ze uttered a questioning syllable, then immediately realized what he meant, his face flushing like a cherry tomato. After a long pause, he stammered:

"Well, not really... but he's really, really good... okay, I do like him a little..."

She let out an embarrassed chuckle.

Qi Duo couldn't laugh anymore. Her hands, which could hold a scalpel with unwavering steadiness, trembled slightly, then gradually clenched...

Was she doing it on purpose?

In a daze, such a thought arose in Qiduo's mind.

But when she saw those expectant eyes, she knew she couldn't tell.

Every word and phrase comes from his true intention.

A kind of beast-like intuition made Mu Muze decisively abandon his reserve and speak his true feelings without hesitation!

Perhaps even she herself doesn't know why she did it.

After much thought, Mumu Ze could only attribute it to Qi Duo's personal charm, which made her unconsciously let go of her inhibitions.

'Miss Kita, she's such a trustworthy person...'

Mumu Ze's current state of mind would probably be unbelievable even to herself just half an hour ago.

And so, a wonderful atmosphere of conversation formed between the two.

The young prince cast aside his past prejudices and looked forward to guidance from the experienced hunter.

Meanwhile, the hunter, unwittingly caught in the middle, could only awkwardly listen to the prince whisper sweet nothings she dared not listen to closely.

Even the bravest person can only feel cowardice at this moment.

'Why say all this... I don't understand it either...'

There was a long silence.

Qi Duo took a deep breath, straightened her spirits, looked directly into Mu Muze's eyes, and asked in as gentle a voice as possible:

"Tell me your story with him."

Those little worlds that he wouldn't deliberately mention, belonging to another girl.

Mu Muze was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening, slowly lowered his eyes, and his thoughts gradually returned to those dark and gloomy years.

Before everyone finds redemption, they go through a period of unspeakable silence.

For her, it was those countless nights spent alone, those countless dark corridors walked alone.

The turning point came with You Kexin's trip.

She quietly recounted to Qiduo the thrilling assassination attempts and Dia's courageous act.

Qiduo listened carefully, and the emotions in those words seemed to quietly blend into her thoughts and feelings.

The more I listened, the more bittersweet my heart felt.

"I'm so stupid, I was like a doll that he kept saving me..."

Mumu Ze was a little embarrassed, but then continued with a touch of pride:

"Even someone like me can actually help him!"

She recounted her experience of being assassinated in Kakin, told the story of Dia's feat of defeating the assassins in a single day, recounted how he risked being wanted to deliver the life-saving medicine, and told the story of his silent waiting by the bedside.

"...Because he told me to be brave, I am no longer cowardly."

“My mother ignored me, my father disapproved of me, and I thought I had gotten used to all that cold and dark stuff.”

"Until he burst in, as if he were a born strongman, never fearful, never relying on others, just standing there, he was so dazzling..."

"...I always liked to have him look at me, and then I would ramble on and on, talking silly and endlessly, as if time could really stand still in such a happy moment..."

Mumu Ze is not a strong-willed or sensitive girl; in fact, sometimes she can be quite thick-skinned and thick-skinned, which is completely inconsistent with her quiet appearance.
