Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"She wanted to come along herself."

Poxon argued.

"You're a professional hunter, and you can't shake off a minor?"

"I'm an adult now..."

Wheat spoke cautiously, her voice barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz.

"It's probably due to malnutrition, plus the fact that he unconsciously uses his Nen ability all year round, which consumes a lot of his energy, so he doesn't look very healthy."

Pokson offered an explanation.

"That's not the point..."

Dia covered her face in anguish:

"Miss Pokk, Miss Pokkson, Major Pokkson, I have doubts about your work ethic..."

"Didn't I just tell you to send her away, as long as she doesn't stay in Dongguotuo for a while? What's the situation now?"

"Now, it's probably... I've bought her."

Pokson gave an awkward smile, and seeing Dia's eyes widen, he quickly tried to argue:

"How was I supposed to know that old lady was so ruthless? She took the money and ran away without even glancing at me. She even swore to me, with all her loyalty to General Dick, that she would never come back to bother me."

"And then this guy, being a bit of a simpleton, actually didn't leave and just followed me all the way here."

"..."

Dia understood.

Wheat, the undefeated queen of military honor, was sold to Miss Poker by her mother for 100 million Jenny.

Poxon's original intention was simply to get her to leave East Godot, but that intention was misunderstood...?

Thinking about it, it's obviously impossible.

Dia found it somewhat amusing and looked at the trembling Xiaomai kneeling on the ground, saying:

"Your mother is also a shrewd and calculating person."

"Isn't such a large sum of money enough for a poor family in this third-world country? They're not even willing to support another burden?"

The word "burden" was extremely jarring, and the wheat on the ground trembled, its hands and feet growing colder.

She is actually very smart.

Why did the mother insist on making everything absolute when Poxon had already offered options that left room for maneuver?

Because she is "trash," a "burden," and "useless."

It's a bottomless pit that you can't waste money on, no matter how much you have.

Wheat's mother was so shrewd and ruthless that she was unwilling to waste even the slightest bit of resources, which is why she handed Wheat over to Pokson without hesitation!

It's hard to say she's right, but it's also difficult to criticize her too much.

For an extremely impoverished family of twelve struggling to survive under the oppressive rule of a totalitarian regime, this meticulousness is ingrained in the very marrow of these middle-aged individuals.

Thus, wheat became the obvious choice to be discarded.

Of course, her mother still had a conscience and entrusted her to Poxon at the last moment instead of abandoning her in the street or selling her to slave traders or something like that...

"I... I know I'm weak, and I can't see. Now I've even lost the only skill I was good at: military discipline..."

Xiaomai knelt on the ground, her voice trembling with tears, as if she were grasping at a straw:

"But...please don't abandon me..."

Even death is not something wheat is afraid of.

Because she had always believed that she would die because of her family's "need".

Being needed is a blessing, while being abandoned means that no one needs her anymore.

If you are no longer needed, you are no longer human.

"..."

Dia glared at the sullen Miss Poker and began to reconsider the matter.

Ultimately, this whole affair started with him, so there needs to be a beginning and an end.

He originally intended to use soft restrictions to constrain the actions of Xiaomai, a special character in the story, in order to prevent the plot from going as it did in the original work.

Although that would, in a sense, only exacerbate the disadvantages of the human side (assuming the birth of the Ant King).

but.

We can't just watch a real-life drama of human-ant affection unfold, can we? Don't be disgusting.

When Dia does many things, she does them solely from the perspective of whether she wants to see such things happen, without considering much else.

To him, a human is a human, and an animal is an animal, just as a vampire is a vampire and a pillar man is a pillar man.

Who knew things would develop to this point...

"If we leave it alone, will you kneel here until you die?"

Dia's calm voice drifted down from above and reached Xiaomai's ears.

Almost without hesitation, still looking disheveled, she lifted her face, which was covered in snot and tears:

"If you need me, I'll kneel here until I die... or I'll find a garbage dump and kneel there until I die..."

"That's... not surprising at all."

Dia sighed and stood up:

"Remember what I'm about to say, and never forget it. My name is Dia, and that guy's name is Poxon. From now on, you'll be working for us!"

Seeing this, Poxon grinned and laughed silently.

Because she knew,

Wheat's answer has already won her a completely different life.

Dia tapped her on the head in an annoyed tone:

"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and help her up, go book her a room."

An emperor has his talents, and a cook has his talents. If used properly, even a blind woman who is powerless can make a difference.

Rather than having her stand on the side of the ants and be indirectly poisoned to death by human weapons, it would be better to think about how to make good use of this waste and turn this natural Nen user into one of the cogs of the association.

Let Qiduo worry about that.

Eh?

Dia? Poxen?

What does "follow us" mean?

The white-haired girl slowly raised her head, seemingly oblivious, following the loud voice that appeared to come from the sky; her heart seemed to skip a beat.

next moment,

She felt herself being lifted up by a pair of slender yet exceptionally strong arms, her kneeling legs gradually lifting off the ground until her toes touched the ground.

Before she could react...

Those arms gently loosened their grip.

Under the influence of gravity, the blind girl fell downwards.

In a panic, she instinctively straightened her body and swung her arms until they stopped swaying, finally—

They stood upright and proud on the earth.

……

Half an hour had passed since midnight.

The moon was bright and the stars were few; the doors and windows of the room were tightly closed, and it was dimly lit.

Click...

The faint sounds of small animals stealing food could be heard.

Diya, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, twitched her ears and calmly opened her eyes.

Before me stood Miss Poker, looking guilty and clutching her chest, her face full of nervousness.

In dim lighting, it's not easy to see the details clearly.

"How did you get in?"

Dia held back her smile and asked.

"You didn't lock the door."

"I can't believe it," Poxon said casually, then focused intently on finding the bed in the dark and carefully climbed up.

Even Nen users don't have much vision in dim lighting.

The fact that the Phantom Troupe was almost tricked by the lights-out incident in the Yorknew City arc is proof of this.

"Why are you here?"

Dia remained calm and composed, even as the furry head pressed against his chest.

"Didn't you tell me to come? During the day, you told me to come to you at night."

Pokson looked up and asked, puzzled.

"Then why come now?"

"Didn't you tell me to come at this time?"

Pokson said matter-of-factly:

"During the day, you tapped me on the head, which was obviously a way of telling me to come find you at one in the morning."

Easy to understand.

You could give it a rating of having a clear and enlightened mind.
