Monster Hunter Gathering

"Ahaha, just pretend you've turned into... a magical girl?" Nie Chiwu laughed and said, "Actually, we hunters are children's oriented! If you don't believe me, I'll show you one..."

Nie Chiwu turned to look at Kazuma: "For example, I'll put Kazuma in a cannon and launch him into the sky. Then Kazuma will shout something like 'I will definitely come back', and then he'll come back..."

"You just want to trick me!" Kazuma shouted angrily.

"Um...Mr. Kazuma." Miko said to Kazuma very gently: "Can I go and study with Ms. Aqua?"

“You’re asking me?!” Kazuma paused, then said, “Please, Miss Miko, don’t learn other things about Aqua… These bastards will really use me as a cannonball and launch me into the sky…”

"Um... uh... um." Jianzi nodded slightly helplessly, and then prepared to find Aqua.

Then... Nie Chiwu called an urgent meeting with the hunters.

"Speaking of which, we weren't really of any use this time." Nie Chiwu scratched his head. "The final purification method was solved by Aqua, and Jianzi's strong willpower was innate..."

"...I think," Naofumi Iwatani said, "some people just lack a little strength. In the end, no matter what, they have to deal with the things they face themselves."

Iwatani Naofumi paused and said, "It's the same for me. Whether it's the Three Heroes Sect or that bitch princess, I have to deal with it all by myself in the end... The power of a hunter does give me more choices, but I still have to put an end to those terrible things with my own hands!"

"But..." Iwatani Naofumi finally laughed: "If I really encountered a dilemma or problem that I couldn't solve with my own strength, I would not hesitate to seek help from others."

"That makes sense. You're worthy of being our first hunter!" Nie Chiwu gave Iwaya Naofumi a thumbs-up. "In that case, we need to think seriously about who among the new hunters needs help, and how to help them..."

As Nie Chiwu scratched his chin in thought, Granny Cat had arrived at the hunters' side without them noticing. She put Kazuma, who was still tied up on the table, down from his seat. She comforted him by stroking his head with her paw as she spoke, "As for the new hunters arriving this time... only one of them will need your help and support in the short term. For your new hunt, Granny Cat has prepared some healthy new ingredients! Lots of vegetables!"

"Um?!"

Nie Chiwu realized something: "Grandma Cat, do you know who these new hunters belong to? And... they need our support? And there are a lot of vegetables..."

Nie Chiwu counted on his fingers.

Meat increases attack, fish increases defense, and vegetables increase attribute resistance...

Oh no, the next mission target looks a bit shitty just by looking at the cat food variety...

While Nie Chiwu was thinking, the commission interface popped up in front of the hunters at the same time.

[Exploration Commission: Find traces of monsters

Completion conditions: Explore enough monster traces to find out the monster's true identity

Request content: In a world full of electricity and various equipment, a monster accidentally ran here, causing damage to many electrical devices. Find it before it causes a big mess.

"Meow, new hunters will be arriving tomorrow," said Granny Cat. "There will be four new hunters in total, and they're all very energetic!"

Chapter 175 New Hunters

The hunters, who had agreed to go together to welcome the new members the next day, also started to busy themselves with their own affairs after a brief farewell.

As for the new receptionists...

Aqua was forcibly dragged back by Kazuma, and Raphtalia naturally returned to her own world with Naofumi Iwatani. Nezuko and Tanjiro also politely said goodbye to others and left.

Jianzi returned to his own world and prepared to set up a barrier in his room to drive away the undead...

"You two, live here from now on."

Nie Chiwu led Qianhu and Yuli to the room that the Felyne cats had just built: "If you want to rest, come here. If you want to eat, go to the dining hall..."

"You can live here for a while, and then consider your own destination." Nie Chiwu comforted the two little girls who were still uneasy. "Whether you want to rebuild your original world, live in a new world, or just stay in the gathering like this, it's all possible."

"Then we can call you Grand Commander, okay?" The more lively Yuli raised her hand and said, "What are we supposed to do here? What's that job called receptionist?"

"Hmm... sort out some information, help issue some tasks, and handle some logistics for the rally." Nie Chiwu said, "There will be Elu Cat to help you."

"There's a lot of information to sort out here?" Qianhu was puzzled for a moment before nodding: "Thank you, we understand, we will seriously consider it."

After Qianhu finished speaking, he pulled Yuli into the room and closed the door. His behavior made Nie Chiwu scratch his head.

As expected, he still didn’t gain complete trust... But Nie Chiwu didn’t care.

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, the captain." Nie Chiwu knocked on the door and said to the two girls inside: "I'm always here!"

Having thus finished his work as Grand Leader, Nie Chiwu left the receptionist's room, ready to take care of one last thing besides welcoming the new hunters...

【Fighting Tournament】.

"With the fighting competition, the hunters' fighting skills will improve rapidly, meow!" Elu Cat, who was responsible for building the fighting competition venue, said this happily to Nie Chiwu.

"Really..." Nie Chiwu also felt a little helpless: "Right now I really need to improve my combat skills..."

"Among the hunters, I am the weakest now." Nie Chiwu sighed.

Among the current six hunters, even Kazuma and Laos are adventurers who often fight.

Only Nie Chiwu had never experienced a battle except for a few hunting trips here.

"I don't know what the new hunters are like..." Nie Chiwu muttered.

Soon, at the agreed time the next day, the hunters gathered and waited at the door of the base for the arrival of new hunters.

"Great! From today on, we will have a large gathering of ten hunters!" Nie Chiwu looked at the gate of the stronghold with excitement: "Looks like we have to keep working hard!"

"Speaking of which, Tanjiro was recruited, and Laos joined unexpectedly..." Kazuma squatted in the corner and suddenly thought of something: "How did we get here?"

"Now that you mention it..." Er Qiao fell into deep thought: "Didn't we fall from the sky?"

"Come to think of it, it felt like something pulled me and I fell from mid-air." Iwatani Naofumi also recalled: "Thinking about it carefully, we must have been dropped by the pterosaur!"

Just as Naofumi Iwaya was saying this, a miserable howl sounded in the sky the next moment.

“Ah ...

Along with the miserable cry, a young man in a casual T-shirt fell from the sky, and just like the hunters of the first group, he fell directly to the ground.

“Ahhh!! It’s begun!” Kazuma said with a gloating look, “Sure enough, we’re not the only ones falling from the sky. Judging by the clothes, they must be from some modern world…”

Following closely behind the first person, a red-haired man in home clothes fell on the first person unexpectedly. Before he could get up, a third person appeared in the air.

The punk-haired teenager panicked and tried to avoid the two people below him, but the high-speed falling body did not give him time to react, and in the end, he also contributed to the third floor of the human tower...

"Huh? There's another one?" Nie Chiwu scratched his head and looked up, only to find a short, bald, white-bearded old man in a wide robe slowly descending in mid-air...

"Oh shit! There's an old man!" Nie Chiwu exclaimed.

"There really is an old man!" Er Qiao held her face in her hands and exclaimed, "OH! NO! Do we have to take care of the elderly when we hunt in the future?"

"No matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like an ordinary old man!" Naofumi Iwatani complained.

While the hunters were complaining, the short old man slowly landed on the top of the human tower and looked at Nie Chiwu and the others with a puzzled look: "How did I get here?"

"I remember I seemed to have died after watching the meteor shower with my friends." The old man fixed his eyes on Nie Chiwu: "You are..."

"Uncle, although I really want to ask your name now, let's rescue the people you stepped on first." Nie Chiwu scratched his head as he looked at the old man in front of him.

The old man in front of me, although his body is hunched, his eyes are quite firm. There is a teardrop mole on the left corner of his eye. It seems that he must have been a very powerful person when he was young.

As for the remaining people who were dragged out of the pit...

One is a guy with punk hair who obviously has undergone some kind of transformation.

A person still wearing an apron, who seemed to have just been cooking.

There was also a teenager in a T-shirt who was still clutching a can of energy drink until he passed out...

"hiss……"

Nie Chiwu tried his best to wake up the new hunters, then asked directly, "Hello, this is a hunters' gathering. May I ask your names first..."

"Uh...Yang Wulelang?" The boy who looked like he had just come out of a convenience store was the first to react. He said in confusion, "I traveled through time?"

"Emiya Shirou..." The red-haired boy sobered up a little: "I was helping Illya, Sera and the others cook... Why did you suddenly come here?"

"Xin Meier." The bald old man said gently, "He must have died... and was suddenly brought here."

"I don't have time to talk about this!" The last boy with the punk hairstyle shouted anxiously, "My mom is still in the hospital! Let me go back!"

"You are..." Nie Chiwu looked at the punk-haired boy suspiciously: "David Martinez?"

Chapter 176 Yuri Anime Harem King Shirou Emiya!!!

"You...you know me?"

David, who was anxious to leave, finally discovered that something was wrong.

These guys in front of him didn't have any signs of transformation on their bodies, and they could even call out his name directly...

"David! Calm down. If you're here, time is suspended there." Nie Chiwu grabbed David's shoulders and said, "This is another world! We can help you with your mother's problem! We have medicine that can cure her!"

"Calm down first!"

Nie Chiwu pressed the somewhat agitated David to the ground, leaving David feeling a little confused.

The man in front of him was so powerful that it was a bit scary. He was able to hold him in place with just one hand.

Although his hand didn't seem to have any signs of modification, it was like a gorilla arm, and its strength was terrifying.

"What time is paused? What are you talking about?" David impulsively wanted to break free from Nie Chiwu's hand: "Let me go! I can't wait here..."

Before David could finish his words, Nie Chiwu punched him in the chin and knocked him unconscious.

"This kind of protagonist who hasn't fully grown up is really troublesome..." After knocking David unconscious with a punch, Nie Chiwu raised his hands to the remaining three people, indicating that he had no hostility. "He's too restless right now. I can only let him calm down for a while. Now we can have a good chat..."

"Although it's a little late, let me say this..."

Nie Chiwu smiled brightly at the new hunters before him. "Welcome to the Monster Hunter Gathering! I'm the Grand Leader, Nie Chiwu! New Hunters!"

------------

In the hunters' usual meeting place, old hunters and new hunters sat together.

"Welcome to the most important core place of hunters!!!"

Nie Chiwu raised his voice: "Grandma Cat's Supreme Dining Hall! The Supreme Temple for us Hunters!!! The Hunters' Redemption and Love! We..."

"Captain, you've been naughty again." Granny Cat appeared beside Nie Chiwu without him noticing. She patted him helplessly and then looked at the hunters: "Welcome, new hunters... well, some of the new hunters need special cat food."

Grandma Cat looked at Xin Meir and David who was in a coma, then went to the kitchen to get busy.

"What on earth is this place?" Yang Le asked curiously, "Have I really traveled through time? Can I go back? Are there any games here?"

"I should be dead," Xin Meier said calmly. "I know I'm nearing the end of my lifespan... But the moment I closed my eyes, I was already in mid-air. It was a real shock."

"At times like these, you should look at the pamphlet I stayed up all night to print!" Nie Chiwu said with a smug look on his face, "So first..."

Nie Chiwu first tied the unconscious David to a chair, and then distributed the Monster Hunter introduction manual he had prepared long ago to several people.

Finally, Nie Chiwu slapped David to wake him up.

"Then listen to my explanation now!"

In the following period of time, General Nie Chiwu carefully explained where this place was, what a hunter was, and everyone's current situation.

Even David, who was a little impatient, understood that he didn't have to worry about what was happening in his own world. He had plenty of time to understand this place and find ways to help his mother.

Finally, Nie Chiwu also talked about the identities of several people.

"I can bring you all your works, including Yomu Lelang's light novels, comics, and anime, the cyberpunk series, and The Burial of Freelian, but..."

Nie Chiwu scratched his hair and looked at Shirou Emiya, who was wearing an apron and holding a spatula. "Which Shirou Emiya are you?"

"Are there... a lot of Emiya Shirou?" Emiya Shirou was a little confused.

"A lot!" Nie Chiwu clenched his fist. "There are all kinds of Emiya Shirou, little helpers of suppression, young heroes, great heroes, and so on. There are simply a huge number! That projection magic is simply amazing, and he can even create divine weapons out of thin air..."

"What is magic?" asked Shirou Emiya in confusion, holding a spatula in his hand.

Nie Chiwu scratched his head: "Aren't you 'Emiya' Shirou? Didn't Emiya Kiritsugu teach you magic?"

"Kiritsugu... knows magic?" Emiya Shirou was even more confused. "He's been busy traveling around the world with Airi. I've never heard him talk about magic..."

"Ah? Ai Li? How come you've seen Ai Li before?" Nie Chiwu was also stunned for a moment: "Didn't she die a long time ago... Which Emiya Shirou are you?"

Shirou Emiya and Nie Chiwu looked at each other for a long time, and then felt that there was some important problem in their communication.

"Wait! Tell me about your current situation first! Tell me everything about your family and friends!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Emiya Shirou reluctantly began to introduce himself.

"My name is Shirou Emiya, and I currently live in Fuyuki City with my sister Illya, and my maids Sera and Lizzelite. I'm currently a student at Hogunhara Academy High School, and I have a friend named Yanagido Kazunari..."

"Fuck! It's you, the harem king!" Nie Chiwu exclaimed.

“What————!” He Zhen’s eyes turned red after hearing what Nie Chiwu said: “Another one?!”
