December 26th.
Saiki Kusuo took Alluka to a warm island to recharge. He planned to bring books and travel the sea of knowledge with her.
At first, Alluka didn't want to go: "I've read enough books at home!"
Saiki Kusuo replied: [Do you know how to make friends?]
Alluka: "Then teach me, big brother!"
[Do you think I can?]
They looked at each other.
"Can't big brother make friends?"
[Raising good feelings is easy enough, but making friends is complicated. Maybe your brother Illumi has more experience than me.]
"Oh!" Alluka was very shocked. [Killua said Illumi has no friends!]
Hey, he was the first in the family to make a friend.
[Killua is also trying to make friends. Didn't he say he wanted to be friends with Gon at the arena?]
Alluka's eyes widened, "What about Milluki?"
[That guy is making 2D friends these days, surfing the internet for 20 hours a day.]
Using In can keep life energy, so it's okay to only sleep four hours for seven days straight.
Knowledge changes destiny, learning Nen evolves and shortens human sleep time.
"Everyone is working so hard to make friends!"
Alluka finally understood how hard it is to make friends. She rolled up her sleeves and began to work on the pile of "secret guides" in front of her.
"Friends and Partners"
"Building Bonds"
"Making Friends and Killing Friends"
"A Transactional Relationship is a Friendship"
"The Secret of Eternal Life -- Pulling Friends Into Your Personal Hell"
...
As everyone knows, Saiki Kusuo's books come directly from the Zoldyck bookshelf in exchange for equal value.
The decision was made in a hurry, and Saiki Kusuo just grabbed books with keywords from the bookshelf. It should be fine.
A moment of silence.
Saiki Kusuo himself was holding a book with the cover "A Guide to Making Friends Outside the Bottom Rung," but the inside was a mystery novel.
He was enjoying it, and he successfully fooled Alluka.
—— Two hours.
"Brother Kusuo, I'm tired of reading," Alluka said.
Two hours of focus, Alluka, you've done very well.
Saiki Kusuo closed the book: [Want to go out to sea?]
"Are we going to catch fish outside for lunch, too?"
[No, we'll go back to eat. You can go back home to eat if you want.]
"Um..." Alluka hesitated, and countless delicious foods flashed in her mind.
Saiki Kusuo counted the number of times each food appeared and quickly decided on pot rice.
The one Kurapika recommended.
Good thing, lately she's been eating sweets and snacks for every meal. People who don't know would think the Zoldyck kids have never eaten good food.
They arrived a little early. The restaurant at 10:30 wasn't crowded, but when they were eating, two people came in.
One with brown-yellow hair, one with bright yellow hair.
What was special about them wasn't just their hair color, but their clothes.
Very familiar, Kuruta clothing.
[Kurapika is so busy these days.]
[It seems popularity is very important to get an important position on the Ethnic Minorities Committee of the Hunter Association in this election.]
[He's rushing around everywhere every day...]
[It would be good if we could help.]
[Kurapika said we shouldn't appear for the next year.]
...
Why are two people using heart voices to talk?
Saiki Kusuo looked over. So that's it, hand signals. The Kuruta are a people who live deep in the forest and have their own body language to communicate messages in the forest.
Just like the code of an assassin family.
Alluka stared at the two people walking over with her big eyes, her thoughts were much simpler. When Saiki Kusuo realized it, Alluka had already asked.
Alluka lowered her voice and whispered, "Brother Kusuo, their clothes look like Kurapika's!"
A pair of eyes scanned over immediately.
Great, they heard it.
However, the two Kuruta people are friendly: people who know Kurapika must be good, except for the Spiders.
Do they have some misunderstanding about the daily work of the mafia?
"You two, do you know Kurapika?" one of the Kuruta people asked Saiki Kusuo.
How should I answer? Something like, we are hunters too.
"We are Kurapika's friends!" Alluka raised her hand high.
"Kurapika's friends! Really?"
"Really, Kurapika recommended this restaurant to us, he also said..."
Alluka had a great time chatting with the two Kuruta people.
Saiki Kusuo drank his soup to reduce his presence.
"Kurapika has been very busy recently, taking on a lot of tasks."
"It's tough... but only he is a hunter. We plan to take the Hunter Exam next year, it's only a few months away."
About that, I vaguely remember that in the next Hunter Exam, Killua from our family will eliminate everyone else. Saiki Kusuo thought in his heart.
"Are you here for a trip? Have you been to Little Dowalla Mountain?"
Alluka asked, "What's that? Kurapika recommended mountain climbing to us, but we haven't gone yet."
"If you haven't been, how about going mountain climbing together tomorrow! Kurapika seems to have taken on a task there!"
"Didn't Kurapika say we can't appear near him for the time being?"
"Nonsense, we're taking Kurapika's friends mountain climbing!"
Saiki Kusuo sensed that the wind wasn't right.
"The scenery of the sunrise and sunset there is very good... also, you absolutely can't miss the beautiful scenery of the tide rising at three in the afternoon!"
"If you want to enjoy everything, you must gather at the mountain early."
The two Kuruta people planned considerately.
[Wait, just climbing a mountain by yourself will only bring endless trouble. Alluka, refuse quickly.]
Saiki Kusuo used telepathy to whisper to Alluka. [If you go with them, you need to get up early. I can just bring us there in a flash.]
"The mountain breeze brings the breath of nature, the moisture of the morning dew..."
"While climbing, the birds slowly wake up, and their songs echo in the forest..."
These two are praising nature.
The descriptions of the two Kuruta people completely attracted Alluka.
Alluka winked at Saiki Kusuo, troubled: [Brother Kusuo, you don't know how to make friends.]
Saiki Kusuo: ?
[So, I can't listen to your advice here! If we teleport to the top, the chance to be with friends will disappear!]
Listen to me, I have 33 years of human life experience.
[The book says that playing with friends will definitely make the trip more enjoyable!]
Don't use the half-baked knowledge you just learned from the book.
"We're going mountain climbing together! Brother is going too!"
...Although I really wanted to refuse, I can't leave Alluka now.
The two Kuruta people smiled naturally and looked at Saiki Kusuo: "Then let's leave at four o'clock tomorrow morning, can you get up?"
With this kind of time, if an adult can get up, the child will automatically wake up.
[No problem.]
"We haven't exchanged names yet, my name is Purara!" the person with bright yellow hair said.
Yeah, yeah, Kurapika is a weird name. By the same logic other Kuruta names might not be so normal, since they are an ethnic minority.
The person with brown-yellow hair said politely, "My name is Kuriri."
Saiki Kusuo covered his mouth.
Kuriri stuck out his tongue and slapped his head, "The 'ri' of raccoon. I like my name, but everyone outside thinks it's a little weird, ha ha..."
[No, it's a very easy name to remember, some people have probably already forgotten the other person's name.]
"Kuriri! So cute! Big brother, can you say your name again? I forgot!" Alluka said, "Oh, by the way, my name is Alluka!"
A negative example came quickly.
When everyone's eyes fell on Saiki Kusuo, Saiki Kusuo packed up the dishes in front of him, put his hands together to thank them for the meal, and then began to face them.
[...My name is Saiki Kusuo.]
The Kuruta are a bit too friendly.
Saiki Kusuo looked at the high level of good feeling that had already been reached and felt troubled.
Good Feeling Inquiry / Good Feeling Display: A use of telepathy. Judge how others feel about you or how others feel about others by their thoughts. Display it with numerical values. The highest between ordinary people is only 100. Deep relationships like couples will far exceed the standard.
