Yan City is a magical place.
Even though it's 5 AM, people are gathering in the same place, eating the first hot pancake before the sun even rises.
I don't understand it.
[Please give me another bee bread and honey bread.]
But the food is very delicious.
Saiki Kusuo was about to pay, but Kuli Li, who was looking at his phone, already paid first.
"Don't worry about it, it's just a small amount," Kuli Li said casually. Normally polite, Zetsu would never look at his phone while talking to someone.
[Kurapika actually got up at this hour. He's working so hard from early morning to late night. All we can do is... encourage him!]
"Ah, Mr. Kusuo, I remember they sell a kind of calming incense here. Can you help me look for it? I want to buy some!" Kuli Li thought.
To buy it for Kurapika, huh.
[There's someone selling it around the left corner.] Saiki Kusuo pointed.
Kuli Li quickly waved his hands, "No, no, not the kind you eat. It's a kind of incense you burn. It usually appears a little later than the food..."
"Selling incense—Dowala incense!"
"Huh?! It wasn't there just now... Thank you! I'll be right back!" Kuli Li disappeared.
After all, the stall wasn't set up just a moment ago. He predicted it with his mind-reading. Saiki Kusuo held his bread, blew on it, and was about to take a bite.
"Brother! Kusuo brother!" Not far away, Alluka ran over.
How was it? Did you get the red bean paste that had a long line?
Alluka put her hands on her hips and glared at Saiki Kusuo with a serious face.
...What's wrong?
"Kusuo brother, that's too much! How can you hurt someone and not take responsibility? Zetsu must have been the one who did it, right?"
Don't say it like I'm a heartless person. Everyone around is looking.
Even Saiki Kusuo was confused for a moment. When did he hurt someone? Or rather, how could someone he hurt still be alive?
That's really Kenko's armor.
But Alluka's expression didn't seem fake. She had a very stern, little head-of-the-family pose, puffing out her chest, "Even if that uncle did something bad, you can't secretly take revenge. Komugi definitely wouldn't want that!"
So what actually happened? I'm completely out of the loop, Alluka. "That uncle"? Linked with Komugi, doesn't that refer to Chrollo? He's supposed to be playing board games with Komugi until tomorrow. How could he be here…?
Okay, actually, he already saw the image in Alluka's mind.
He also saw a person surrounded by a few villagers in the distance behind Alluka.
Through the villagers' backs, he saw the wheelchair and the "human" accessory on the wheelchair.
I'm going to dare to question how the leader of the Phantom Troupe got to this state.
A silver wheelchair, a black-haired man sitting in it. The man had bandages on his head, wore a turtleneck sweater, that young face was paired with black-framed glasses, and a book with a bookmark was resting on his knees.
In general, he looked harmless and likeable. At least the people who passed by showed him kindness.
This person's legs had a very obvious problem. The left leg from the knee down was completely in a cast, and the right leg had a white bandage "shoe" from the ankle. Even though a small blanket covered his legs, it didn't prevent Saiki Kusuo from seeing it.
After all, it's winter. Although the climate in this city isn't cold enough to snow, there's still a bit of cold wind.
"Thank you for everyone's kindness, I'm not here alone." Chrollo spoke with people very politely. [What are these people's intentions? Facing a weak person who can hardly resist, they want to show their generosity to others. Is kindness really as nice and easy to obtain as they say? If it was, Meteor City wouldn't need reform. If I really asked that man to take me up the mountain, he would be in a very awkward situation.]
This person with a larger dark side clearly doesn't believe in others' selfless kindness.
Saiki Kusuo watched the joke, standing apart from it all. But how to explain Alluka's questioning?
...
Saiki Kusuo took a bite of bread, drank some soy milk, and five seconds passed.
He took another bite of bread, drank some more soy milk, taking three seconds.
He ate the bread in his mouth in one bite, his cheeks bulging, but there was a confused look in his eyes.
The shop owner, seeing him eat the bread like a starving ghost, picked up the soy milk pot, "...Want another cup? My friend."
[No, thank you for your kindness.] Saiki Kusuo wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
It shouldn't be, right?
Chrollo's leg injury shouldn't be related to him, right?
Are Nen users' basic qualities really that weak?
Even if he's not a Nen user, the spider's basic physical qualities should be very good, right? Weren't the children of Meteor City running around on the garbage mountains since they were young? That kind of mountain chase made their physical qualities approach Mujiro same class's wild person mode since they were little. Who is Mujiro same class? He's a classmate from my original world. Because his family was poor, he was often very hungry. He would change into a primitive human for food. His wild survival ability is 100%. If she came here, Zetsu would definitely increase her strength.
That's too strange. Is he acting? Chrollo can walk out of those seemingly uninhabited mountains by himself. His physical ability is already comparable to Kakashi who can climb the Hokage Rock with one hand. This guy is already a ninja.
Saiki Kusuo crossed his arms. He carefully recalled the moment Chrollo fell into the well. Maybe, perhaps, possibly.
In order to make Chrollo fall down before the car hit him, Saiki Kusuo thought that he might have used a little force to make him fall into the well quickly. This can explain why this guy would hurt his leg.
What if he got hit by a car after he got out of the well? It's reasonable for him to be so unlucky that he lost his Nen and then becomes even more unlucky, right?
"That uncle said he hurt his leg when he fell into the well! You were holding the well cover at that time, Kusuo brother, right?"
Stop talking, Alluka.
Saiki Kusuo rarely showed a difficult expression when facing Alluka's questioning. Okay, even if he has 1% of the responsibility, it's impossible to fix things after two days.
[I'll take care of him a little as a form of apology, how about that?]
"That's not right, you have to apologize!"
Saiki Kusuo: Apologizing or something...
