Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Dia nodded thoughtfully, having some idea of ​​what was going on with the banquet:

'It's less about celebrating the king's birthday and more about showcasing Kakin's future potential to everyone, and also a way for the princes to win over external forces...'

In the end, there can only be one king in Kakin, but there are a total of 14 princes.

Everyone knows that one of these 14 people will ascend to the pinnacle of power in the great empire of Kakin, so naturally some people will covet it, which leads to the act of "investing" in a certain prince they favor before the start of the succession war.

Normally, the suppression of lower-ranking princes by higher-ranking princes makes it impossible for them to bypass them and win over outside forces. But this banquet gave them an equal opportunity to showcase themselves.

"Dia, I don't even have any guards. I won't even be able to find anyone to back me up..."

Mumu Ze spoke mysteriously in a suggestive tone.

She wasn't actually interested in winning over outside forces, but she wanted to show everyone her relationship with Dia.

Like a child who finds a gem on the roadside, they can't resist wanting to show it off in town.

"Hmm...that's fine, I'll come find you then."

After a moment's hesitation, Dia agreed to Mumu Ze's request and then said:

"It's too dangerous for you to go outside of Kakin. The Republic of Mingbo will also have people who want your head. Stay with me for the next few days, and I'll send you back later using the association's airship."

Mumu Ze naturally wouldn't object, but he still had some doubts about Diya's last sentence:

"Won't Miss Kita say something about using the Hunter Association's airships directly?"

Dia leaned back, waved her hand, and casually said with a smile:

"Oh, it's alright, I'll explain it, she won't dare to say anything more."

"Who wouldn't dare to speak up?"

"..."

Qiduo's cold voice came from the doorway, and Dia immediately shut his mouth and looked towards the door.

Qiduo was holding a quilt and looking at him with a cold smile.

Oh no, they overheard me talking about someone behind their back...

Qi Duo ignored the guy and walked up to Mu Mu Ze, smiling gently as she said:

"You can sleep in my office for the next few days. I'll stay with you the whole time. No one at the association headquarters will dare to do anything to harm you."

Mu Muze's identity is sensitive, and since he practically ran away on his own, his safety is a major concern.

If she is arranged to stay in a hotel or room outside, her safety becomes relatively uncontrollable.

So Keido thoughtfully prepared a bed for her and cleaned out the sofa that Diya had slept on before, which made a simple place to stay.

As for comfort, it certainly isn't comfortable, but what can we do when we're in such a critical time?

Chapter 334 Getting Angry × The Best Gift

Having been pampered since childhood, Mu Muze is not used to sleeping on the sofa.

"There's nothing I can do. It's too late, and I can't get any fancy beds over right now."

Qi Duo placed the blanket on the sofa and said helplessly:

"Mumu Ze, if you really can't stand it, I have a villa near the university that I don't live in often, you can stay there temporarily."

However, because she usually sleeps almost directly in her office, the villa is never taken care of.

Normally, Kita would just go back and take a shower or something.

There were only two rooms available for her to stay in: her own room and Dia's room, which she would occasionally stay in.

"fine……"

Unexpectedly, Mu Muze gently landed on the sofa, a blush of intoxication suddenly spreading across her face, and she softly said:

“There’s a familiar, comforting scent here… I love it here, thank you, Miss Kita.”

A familiar scent?

Qiduo tilted her head in confusion.

But apart from Dia, who has no fixed abode, sleeping on this sofa, nobody actually uses it...

'Wait a moment……'

Qiduo was suddenly stunned, then her eyes widened as she looked at Dia, who was standing to the side as if nothing had happened.

You little rascal, how far have things progressed between you and her...?

"?"

Dia tilted her head, staring blankly into Qiduo's eyes.

Seeing his self-righteous demeanor, Qi Duo withdrew her gaze with some skepticism.

Perhaps she misunderstood...

As for Dia's words, Kido still tends to believe them... what a load of rubbish!

This guy's credibility plummets the moment he gets involved with other girls!

Swish!

The invisible light of daylight descended instantly, sweeping over Mumu Ze, who was still excitedly sniffing the sofa.

Diya's eyelids twitched and her heart pounded.

"Eh? This is..."

Mumu Ze was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he heard Qi Duo start explaining:

"This is my ability. That light can check your physical condition, whether you have any diseases or wounds. Your body is very healthy."

Thankfully, at least we didn't go all the way to the last step.

"Oh... thank you, Miss Kita."

Mumu Ze first glanced at Diya, and seeing that he had no reaction, he smiled and thanked Qiduo.

If there's a problem, he certainly won't remain unresponsive.

"It's getting late, you should rest first. If you need anything, ask Dia for help; he's always available."

Qiduo gave a few instructions, then pulled Dia towards the door.

Behind them, Mumu Ze yawned.

The long journey and the various emotional ups and downs also left her, a Nen user, feeling exhausted.

Mu Muze casually rolled up the blanket and curled up on the sofa.

As the familiar scent approached, she felt a surge of security and gradually drifted off to sleep.

Outside the door, Qiduo slowly leaned against the wall.

The vice president's office door is very soundproof, so they can talk freely without worrying about disturbing Mumu Ze who is resting inside.

"I remember you said you went to find that guy Jin, but where did you go again?"

She rubbed her temples and asked, somewhat helplessly.

"I went to the Kingdom of Tanggu Ganyu, and their king gave Jin a commission..."

"Wait a minute, didn't the king of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom just die?"

"Yes, it was that old king who died. That day was like this..."

Diad recounted the events of the past few days in detail.

It mainly recounted the process from entering the Third Royal Mausoleum to meeting the King and dealing with the assassination attempt.

"This trip was somewhat fruitful; we found clues to what we were looking for."

"Dia said."

Although the scope has only been narrowed down to two still quite large areas, it is at least a significant step forward.

The best outcome would be for both [Insect Arrow Fragments] to be in the same place, while the worst outcome would be something utterly terrible.

Qiduo listened with a furrowed brow the whole time. This journey was not dangerous, but it involved a rather complex high-level class—the royal family of Gu Ganyu.

“Dia, I must remind you, try not to get too involved with these royals. They are not from our world.”

Qiduo shook her head and earnestly advised:

"In the world of Nen users, everything is both complex and simple. The strong always get stronger, and your power is enough to make you achieve something in this field."

"But those people are different; they represent the superficial world, and getting too involved will only slow you down."

In the modern context, maintaining the feudal royal system is very difficult, and the ancient Ganyu royal family must have paid a heavy price to achieve this.

Judging from the fragmentary descriptions in Dia's account, the decline in the population and the short lifespan of the people must have been part of the problem.

These hidden and dark aspects, which often span a century or more and flow through history, are things that no individual can confront directly.

Dia nodded and said:

“I understand, and I won’t interfere in things that don’t concern me, but…”

He glanced at Qiduo's expression and cautiously asked:

"The royal family you just mentioned shouldn't include Mumu Ze, right?"

"What, you're reluctant to part with it?"

Qi Duo sneered:

"That's true, I wouldn't want to part with such a noble girl either."

These sarcastic remarks were actually quite sarcastic.

Dia shook her head, ignoring her sarcasm, and said:

"That's not the reason. If leaving would make things better for the future, I wouldn't force myself to stay. The problem is that Mu Muze's situation is visibly terrible. If we expect her to handle it all by herself, I'd probably just end up collecting her corpse."

"...Don't be so argumentative. I think she has good potential. You're exaggerating."
