"Your brother is currently leveling up in a game called 'Greed Island Z.' He'll probably stay there for several more months."
"He's worried you might feel lonely during this time, so he asked me to find a way to help. I went ahead and asked two designers to create this 'Greed Island Z Handheld Console.'"
When Germain mentioned "designers," he was, of course, referring to Ickshonpe and Dwun. They spent only one day to create this special gaming console.
"Alluka, you can use this handheld console to get a virtual 'Alluka' game character in 'Greed Island Z.'"
"That way, you can stay by Killua's side remotely and play together in 'Greed Island Z.'"
Germain knew the Zoldyck family's limits. There was no way they would just let him and Killua take Alluka away, so he had to find another way around it.
Killua would stay with the virtual game character of Alluka, allowing the two siblings and Gon to clear the levels of Greed Island together. That should be acceptable, right?
At that moment, it seemed like the microphone in the monitoring room wasn't turned off. Through it came the strange, pig-like screams of Milluki.
Killua didn't get the chance to face Milluki one-on-one, but he knew just how to provoke his lazy older brother.
Hearing Milluki's frustrated screeches, he couldn't help but smile smugly.
A few hours ago, Gon was telling Silva about the experiences he and Killua had during this time, and inevitably, the topic of Greed Island came up.
As an obsessive gamer and fan of the two-dimensional world, Milluki, of course, had heard of Greed Island.
At that moment, he was so shocked that he jumped up, determined to know everything about it.
He had been chasing after the Nen game for a long time, and he had recently heard about a major update. He was itching to play but couldn't find a way to get access.
So, Killua "casually" mentioned that he and Gon had gained access to Greed Island through Germain, who was the Game Master of the game.
At that moment, Milluki's face turned pale, then flushed red. He stared at Germain for a long time, unable to say a word.
Germain had visited three times, and each time, Milluki had refused to give him a warm reception.
Germain was clearly on Killua's side, and it was too late for him to try to win him over.
The more this happened, the crazier Milluki became with jealousy.
He couldn't understand why Killua, of all people, was so lucky to meet the Game Master of Greed Island directly.
He had spent years searching online, but could never find any information on the designer or the Game Master of Greed Island.
Killua looked at Milluki's sour face and felt much happier.
After a few hours of mentally preparing himself, Milluki had calmed down a bit and wasn't as jealous or angry.
But then, not long ago, Germain had proposed giving a gift to Alluka, which brought up the issue again.
In case something went wrong, Silva had Milluki, who was skilled in technology, check the handheld gaming console.
When Milluki learned about its function, he became very excited.
Afterwards, he confirmed through various means that the device was safe.
It could only allow Alluka to create a virtual game character in Greed Island and play with Killua remotely. There were no other special functions.
However, as he became quite fond of it, he had no choice but to watch Germain take it from his hands.
Because the gaming console wasn't his—it was a gift from Germain to Alluka.
At that moment, Milluki, watching through the surveillance, heard Germain's explanation, and he was furious, feeling like his lungs might explode.
"I'm also Killua's brother! Why don't I get a gift?!"
"That's mine, it should be mine!"
Germain gave a confused glance toward the microphone.
He then ignored the wails coming from it and placed the handheld console into Alluka's hands.
Alluka held it carefully, and after a while, finally understood what Germain meant.
"Are you saying… I can be with my brother all the time through this?"
"It's your game character that's staying with Killua," Germain corrected. "But it's pretty much the same. You can video chat and talk directly..."
Before Germain could finish, Alluka lifted the game console high, cheering and shouting joyfully.
"Awesome! Awesome!" Alluka jumped up and down, like a happy little bunny. "I can play games with big brother now! Yay!"
She turned around, skipping in circles around Killua, gleefully spinning.
People like Germain and Silva, with their own personalities, couldn't help but be infected by this joy.
Killua still felt like he wasn't doing enough, but this was the best he could do for Alluka at the moment. He still wasn't strong enough to fully protect her.
Yet, Alluka displayed such a satisfied and happy expression, which made Killua feel even more guilty.
He grabbed the bouncing Alluka and said, "Alluka, didn't you forget? What should you do when you receive a gift?"
Alluka froze for a moment, then nodded.
Holding the handheld game console with both hands, she walked over to Germain and politely said, "Thank you for the gift. I really like it."
"Glad you like it," Germain smiled.
Then, Germain personally showed Alluka how to use the special handheld game console and added Killua as her game friend.
If needed, Alluka could also connect the game console to a large screen to play.
Alluka happily held the game console in her hands.
Just then, an untimely voice interrupted.
"It's about time," Silva said from the door. "We need to leave."
Killua couldn't help but furrow his brow, but before he could say anything, Alluka obediently stood up and shook Killua's arm.
"Big brother, it's okay. I'm already very happy like this... Let's meet again in the game."
Killua felt a sharp pain in his heart, a lump in his throat, and he couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only utter another line: "Alright, we'll meet again in the game. I'll introduce you to the friends I know."
"Mm-hmm!" Alluka eagerly nodded her head.
After a reluctant farewell, Alluka waved her hands desperately at Killua, Silva, and Germain before the gates closed.
Even after the gates shut, it was as if the others could still see the lively and cute girl, showing them a sweet smile.
When Killua said goodbye to Alluka, he still wore a smile on his face. But after the gates closed, only a gloomy expression remained.
He had secretly made up his mind—he would become stronger, stronger than anyone else. Only then could he protect his beloved little sisters.
In this way, Alluka and Nanika would finally be able to find true happiness.
