Hunter Doujin-Xiaofa's Journey

"...Maybe it's because of the Chain Hands. Rafa, are you... with the Chain Hands?"

"No. How is it possible... Kuroro didn't go back?"

"Yeah. The leader didn't come back. Rafa, can you tell him...we can't find him..."

"He should be in the wind-eroded canyon in the northern suburbs. Have you looked for it?"

"...Rafa, actually, we can't go to him."

"What do you mean?"

Rafa heard the other end sigh.

"The leader should tell you. Can you please go find him? He should... still be in the wind-eroded canyon."

"..." Rafa remained silent.At that time, Kuroro asked him "Do you have to go?" He ignored it and left.Is that idiot still blowing cold air there?

"Rafa? I know...you may not want to..." The knight's voice was as hesitant as the voice of Paknotan a few hours ago.

"Xia Ke, if you want to ask me to do something, please speak clearly. Sister Pike... what's going on, and why can't you go to Kuroro. How do you think I'm with Kuroro?"

After Rafa finished speaking, after waiting for a while, the knight's voice came again.

It turned out to be the case.

Rafa put down the phone.

The conditions set by Kurapika were indeed meticulous.

But he didn't count people's hearts.

Paknotan would rather die than tell his companions all the information.

At that time, why didn't I notice that her expression was so wrong.

Miss Parker...

The death of a person is the tragedy of the living.

Because they will never see each other again, people cry.

Rafa couldn't tell how he felt.

How does Kurolo feel?

They were together a long time ago, they lived and died together, and they were more reliable companions than blood.

Now, Woking is gone, and Pike is gone.

Unfortunately.

If that guy made some mistakes in this regard, I guess I will regret it too.

Rafa looked at Little Bro lying beside him.

"I'd better go. Maybe . . . to say goodbye to Foss."

Bro nodded.

"I'll come back tomorrow and tell him in person."

"Okay. Be careful."

The rain that had lasted for a whole day stopped.Beginning in the first half of the night, the dark clouds slowly dispersed.

After Rafa left, the moon was bright and the wind was clear.

It's cold.

It's really not used to not being "entangled".

Kuroro walked to one place, bent down, and pulled out a poker card stuck on the ground.

Hisoka.

From the first time I saw it, I knew it was not easy to pass.

This time he cooperated with the chain hand, causing the brigade to suffer a lot of losses.

It was my own mistake.

Should have handled it better.

The past is the past.Now, start the next step.

According to his prophecy poem, it should go east.

The one waiting for me... the best is the Master of Exorcism.

First, address the constraints on yourself and Pike.

Kuroro looked around.

This wind-eroded stone forest group looks beautiful and cold.

It would have been nice if Rafa hadn't left.

Going east... can you meet him?

"So you're really still blowing your hair here." A voice came from behind.

Rafa?

Kuroro turned to look at the man who had left him without saying a word.

"What are you laughing at? Did the cold wind blow your brain away?" The little animal's face seemed serious.

The white light reflected by the moon shone on his hair, turning the original copper color into gold, floating loosely in the wind.

He smelled shampoo.

Long hair, same as that time on Sleeping Island.

"You like me?" He really said so.

"Do you think I fart?"

"it is true?"

"It might be true. But sometimes, I think it's fake." The little animal raised its delicate eyebrows.Wearing... sleeping clothes?

"What is true and what is false?"

"The past is true, and the future is false." The little animal played word games with him. "Only what happened is true. No one can say what didn't happen."

"Do you like it too?" What do you mean?

"God knows. Do you know?" The little animal came over.He wanted to hug him, but... wait a minute.

"What are you doing here?"

The other party stood in front of him. "……talk to you."

Rafa raised an arm and pressed it on the opponent's shoulder. "Sit down and talk." Kuroro didn't move.Rafa stretched out his other arm, trying to persuade with both hands. "Sit down, stand tired."

Kuroro looked at him, then pulled his waist close to her, and sat back.Rafa was startled, and quickly adjusted his posture, being held by his waist by those hands, and finally sat on the opponent's lap.

This position is uncomfortable.

Kurolo spoke. "Say it."

Rafa moved, and someone didn't want to let go of him.Forget it, just tell him that.

"You know... Pike is dead?"

The author has something to say: sort out the clues and continue! !

55 answers

Regarding the news of Pike's death, Rafa wanted to scold the knight, how could he let him speak... His position itself is very delicate.According to the knight, it can't be said that this is the news from the brigade, otherwise it is impossible to guarantee that it will not violate the restrictions set by Kurapika.

What should he say?

His relationship with Kurapika is there.At the scene of the hostage exchange today, everyone saw the relationship between him and Xiaojie Qiya.

Tell Kuroro from his mouth: Paknotan died because of Kurapika...

Really not a good idea.

Knight, you remember it for me...

Rafa looked at Kuroro's expression, wondering how he would react.To be honest, pulling him to sit down was mainly because he needed to sit down himself.

The black hair on someone's forehead has long been blown by the wind, and it is floating around the eyes.There was a little moonlight in the pure black eyes, which made Rafa feel bright.

The other party did not make a sound, tightened his hands, and led him to fall backwards.Rafa put his hands on the ground, not wanting to fall on top of him.

"Really..." Kuroro's deep voice was like a sigh.

"..." Lafa leaned on the top of his head, staring seriously at the eyes below. "I... don't hate Miss Parker.... I don't hate Wojin either."

Kurolo looked at him.

"..." That's all he could say.

Kurolo didn't speak.

Rafa heard the wind in his ear.It's midnight now.It's really cold on the top of the cliff, whether it's the stones under your hands or the strong wind coming from the top of your head.

correct.

His attention returned to the other person.This person can no longer use mind power.He freed one hand and leaned against the other's swollen cheek with the back of his hand.

The swollen area is warm.He tried the other party's ears again.cold.

Sighing, Rafa pressed his lips to Kuroro's, and reached out to touch someone's paw below.Both lips are drier than they were a few hours ago and seem to be peeled.The hands are also cold.

"Put it in my clothes." He took the hand and leaned towards himself.The other party seemed to have paused for a moment, and then moved his arms actively, and put his hand under the clothes behind Rafa's back.

The "wrap" on Rafa's body is warm, and he should have used the "hair".Kuroro felt that his knuckles, which had been numb from the cold, regained their flexibility.

Under the moonlight, the long hair with a strange color slid from behind Rafa's ivory face and fell on his shoulders and chest.He tightened his hands and closed his eyes.

The person on him let out a long breath.

"How much time do you have to toss..."

What's the meaning?Crowley opened his eyes again.Rafa's eyes were lowered, and the pity on his face was unmistakable.

"What do you mean..." Although, he vaguely understood in his heart.

"I'm asking myself..." The young man raised his eyelids, narrowed his starry eyes, and pinched his chin with one hand. "How long can I stay with you?"

"...If you need to entangle for as long as you want, you will entangle for as long as you want." His voice was a little rough.

"...Do I need you?" The man in the form of a boy let go of his chin and pulled back, his long hair slid across his body, brushing them aside with a slender hand.

The temperature left at once.He sits up.

Rafa stood up.

He looked up and looked into the boy's sharp eyes.

need……

hehe.Rafa sneered.

Sure enough, this person... Just like Paluhola in Lusk's memory, he is a mercenary guy.And the practice is more grand and thorough than anyone else.

"What do I need from you?" he asked the man sitting on the ground.

"..." The person sitting did not speak.

"If you can say three things, I will spend 20 years with you."

"If I say ten things, you will stay with me until I die."

"...You tell me, if I don't listen to you, I will eat you now." Rafa lifted his chin and clasped his hands.

"You...you won't eat me." Kuroro stood up.After saying a few words, he felt his throat soften a little.

"..." Rafa looked at him with disgust.

This person...begged for mercy with tears in his arms.But... I might lose that opportunity.

What happened at this moment, Kuroro is still not fully clear.However, the mood to keep the person opposite is clear.

Clearly overwhelmed the analysis and calculation that floated up in an instant.

He looked at the person in front of him and wanted to reach out and grab him.

How long do you need to entangle...

He used the wrong word, maybe.

The blood vessels in the face throbbed.He took a breath, hoping the cold wind would wake him up.

"Ah!..."

The cold wind didn't have the effect he expected.

Rafa waited for him to speak with the same chill expression as at night.

"First...you need me...to hug you."

Rafa laughed.But cold.However, he was not interrupted.

"Second...you might need to...hug me." He carefully observed the other person's face and saw the irony, which didn't have the effect he expected.This one can only play its literal role...

So, let's just go with the feeling.

let him think...

"Third, you need... someone to cuddle you to sleep."

"Fourth, you need... someone to eat with you."

"Fifth...you need someone...to drink tea with you."

"Sixth, you need me...to talk to you..." Kuroro suddenly felt empty in his heart. "Seventh...Rafa, you need me...to accompany you..." He couldn't continue.

I need you to sleep with me.

I need you to be with me.

I need you to look at me like this, waiting for me to speak.

I need you to warm me with your body.

I need you……

I... need... Rafa.

I... need... He looked at Rafa across the way, speechless.

"You can continue talking." Rafa stood there motionless. "Not yet the ten items you mentioned."

"..." He couldn't say it.

"Hehehe, Kurolo..." Rafa's thin and slender body stood less than two meters in front of him. "My lord, take care."

Rafa turned around and strode forward, jumping off the cliff.

A light rose from the chasm below, then disappeared.

Of course Bro didn't sleep.He lay on the spot and waited for Rafa to come back, although Rafa said he would come back tomorrow.It was itchy from washing too dry, so he brushed and smoothed them down.Sometimes the master is like a child.Make fun of him, he doesn't hate it.

When will the master come back...

That person...is he already that important in Master's heart?

Then, when that human's lifespan ends, the master... will be very sad.

Closing his eyes and meditating, Bro heard the movement of the curtains.

Master...is back?

He opened his eyes wide.

"Yo! Bro, are you still asleep?" Rafa strode over after standing still, lifted the quilt and circled him. "Come on, sleep and sleep."

Bro struggled.

He doesn't like to cover the quilt.So heavy, crushed to death.

"Bro, you have two choices. I'll hold you to sleep when I get smaller, or I'll hold you to sleep just like this." The owner closed his eyes and talked to him, holding his neck tightly.

"..."

Nothing to say.Bro turns back into a little white dog.

The master was very satisfied with his whole lap on his chest, and fell asleep.

Bro hadn't slept all night.

To become smaller, you have to concentrate your strength all the time, and it is impossible to fall asleep.

He counted Rafa's breaths until dawn.

There was a knock at the door in the morning.

Listening to the voice is Foss Bilenka.

He hugged Rafa, hoping that he would wake up quickly.However, the person who came back in the middle of the night yesterday was very sleepy and did not respond to external stimuli at all.So he turned his body, hoping to be freed from the double confinement of his arms and hands.

Result: Failed.

"Rafa!? Bro?! Are you okay? Bro? Is Rafa awake?..." Foss's voice outside the door became uneasy.

It's also Blame Bro, who said something to reassure people that he didn't care about Rivers again, and Rafa didn't tell them when he woke up.Now, Foss finally couldn't bear to ask about the situation.

If this goes on like this, people may see their own prototype.

Burrow quickly transformed into a human form.

Finally, he had the strength to break away from Rafa's embrace.The white-haired young man stood up and heard a click.

"Are you okay!?...Sorry to bother you."

There was another click.

"..."

Bro turned to look at the door.

It's Foss Bilenka... Don't barge in if you know it's impolite...

After Rafa had had enough sleep...or rather, in bed, he sat up.

There are still a bunch of troublesome things to deal with.

So does someone.

Except for Jackie's teeth... Rafa's stomach hurts.

Not to mention those two children, and... Kurapika...

Since just now, he has simulated ten interpretation angles.

Neither has a 50% safe pass rate.

Maybe work on options other than explaining?

Or……

Rafa stared blankly at the wall in front of him.

or……

Just tell the truth!

or……

Just pretend it's not the case...

"Master, don't you want to eat something?" Bro opened the door for the second time and walked in.

"Where's Bro... Where's Fox?"

"Master Foss asked if you would like to have afternoon tea with him."

"...I'll go."

Foss has dark circles under his eyes after the busy days of the auction and socializing.

"You're so busy."

"Ah." Fox smiled at him.It was only then that Rafa remembered that his non-stop situation must have caused people to worry a lot.I don't feel a little sorry. "I heard you went to see Nyon off today?"

"Yes."

"What happened to Nion?"

"Nion... she lost her ability to predict." Foss said lightly.

"Is that so..." Seeing Foss looking into his eyes, Rafa smiled at him. "It's actually a good thing. That child doesn't need that kind of thing. Have you set a date to marry her?"

"Hehe." Fosse understood and turned his gaze to the side. "I'm not moving that fast yet."

"Hurry up."

"Hmm..." Foss picked up his teacup.

"Foss, you... can you do this now?" Rafa is no fool, after staying with Foss for so many days, he probably also felt the meaning of Foss being emptied.

"Don't worry. It's fine as it is now." Foss seemed to be appreciating the aroma of the coffee. "Now the underworld is facing a shock, even a reshuffle. This kind of life may not be happy for a few days. Having said that..." Fosse's blue eyes cast a bright light from under the bangs. "Rafa, what happened between you and Lucy?"

"Some messy things." Rafa intends to say it.

"Rafa..." Foss folded his hands on his lap. "So many things happened at the auction, I haven't seen Lu Xilu until now. Of course, I can follow the plan. But... Lu Xilu... Is something wrong?"

Rafa smiled back. "What do you think... that guy can do anything?"

Foss paused for a moment at his smiling face. "It seems...it's not a big deal."

"Do you want something to happen to him?" Rafa tilted his head.

"It's very contradictory..." Foss stood up, stopped after taking two steps, turned his head, and the light of the floor lamp shone from behind his head. "If it wasn't for him, I would be troubled at this stage. But...if he really doesn't show up again, I..." Foss stopped talking and coughed a little self-mockingly.

"Foss, let's talk after we think about it." Rafa leaned on the back of the sofa and took a long breath.

"..." The blue-eyed young man was silent for a while.

"Foss, do you think I'm a fool?" The young man with a long braid turned his gray eyes away.

"Rafa, you used to be my bodyguard, in fact... you were also my teacher. Of course you are not a fool..." Foss took a few steps towards the window.

"Foss, you're no fool yourself."

"……Um."

"I wish you are happy."

"Rafa, are you...happy?"

"So far."

"If... one day, you can't be happy... come to me, okay?" The black-haired young man pressed his hand on the window sill.

"...Okay." The copper-haired boy closed his eyes.

The room was very quiet.After a while, the sound of walking legs approached.The black-haired young man lightly kissed the copper-haired boy on the forehead, and then sat back opposite the boy.

"We don't need to forgive such words, do we?"

Rafa opened his eyes.

"Yes. No need...you and I both understand."

Maybe... escape is not the way.Rafa took out his phone.

Of course, you have to pay attention to the method...

He dialed Qiya's number and asked him to meet him at the fountain park in the afternoon.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, he sat on the bench by the fountain on time.

"Are you going to give us an answer?"

A boy with silver hair and pockets stood in front of him.

"Hmm..." Rafa looked up.Regret it now, it's too late.Qi Ya came here alone, do you still have a lot of trust in him?

"Speak." Qi Ya sat beside him, not looking at him.

It should be trust, that's why I came here.Rafa was relieved, and he thought of the admirable education methods of a brother who doted on his younger brother.

"Hmm... Do you want to listen to simple ones or complicated ones?" Rafa handed a can of fruit juice to the child beside him.

"Let's talk briefly first." Qi Ya glanced at him.

"Simply put." Rafa turned his head to face the child sitting next to him. "Listen well, to put it simply, I have known the Phantom Troupe since its inception."

"What!?" The cat's eyes widened.

"To clarify, I've never been a member of the Spiders. However, I know some of them very well because I... lived together on Meteor Street in the past."

"You said you saved Kurapika..." Apart from disbelief on Kitten's face, there was some hesitation.

"Yes." Rafa took a deep breath. "Although I really don't want to say this, but it's not about Kurapika, I shouldn't meet them again so early."

"Wait. Are you saying that you lived together a long time ago, and it wasn't your choice?"

"Yes. When I first came to Meteor Street, I happened to meet them, so I took refuge in them. Of course it was a relationship of mutual use. But... Anyway, we lived together for more than a year."

"Then you know the number of members, abilities, looks, names, and personalities of their team... don't you know everything!!" The kitten seemed excited.

Rafa waited for him to calm down and asked him. "Do you think that in that case, it is possible for me to leave them alive?"

"Impossible...then you...?"

"Hehe. It was your brother who took me out of Meteor Street."

"Ah!? No wonder..."

"So we have known each other for a long time. Although I know what they look like, I don't know their abilities at all. They are very careful, so I have never seen them, let alone heard them mention it. Now... I I don’t have a clue.” In addition to Xiaodi’s vacuum cleaner, Kubi’s copy freak... and someone’s book that I just saw two days ago.It should be his ability...

"..." Qi Ya was staring at him.

"Hehe. Do you believe it?"

"Reasonable."

"Hmm... When Kurapika's clansmen had an accident, he called me and told me that I went. I didn't know about it beforehand, and I didn't have any contact with the spider. That time... it was a hit."

"What happened after that? Why did that woman ask you if you were familiar with them that day without any hostility? What is your relationship with their leader?"

As expected of Qiya, the logic is really clear.

Ah... I asked this...

"Qi Ya... do you know that adults... have any relationship?"

"Ah?" Clever as Qiya, he seemed to be dumbfounded by his sudden question. "relation?"

"Well, as far as you know, what are there?"

"Wait! I'm asking you! You..."

"Tell me, I have to know your level of understanding in this area, and then judge how to say it so that you can understand it." Rafa took it for granted.

"Relationship? You knew them a long time ago because of unavoidable reasons, and then you were rescued by my brother, and then you bumped into them who slaughtered Kurapika's clan... Then...you rescued Kurapika alive, and joined them again Looks very familiar...how do I know!!"

Qi Ya went crazy.

Rafa wanted to say: You don't know?I don't know either!However, there is no guarantee that they will not know in the future.Therefore, today he wants to explain to this smart kid in advance, so that they won't find out by themselves in the future and don't know what version it is.

"Qi Ya...their leader and I have been entangled since that day." Rafa looked at the kitten seriously.

"..." Qi Ya seemed to be trying hard to understand this sentence.

"In the beginning, he was interested in me. Later... after a long time... I also became interested in him." Rafa paused. "That's the way it is."

There was an expression on Qi Ya's face that only an idiot could have.

"Can't understand?"

The kitten didn't answer.

Rafa waved his hands in front of his face.no response.

So be it.

Rafa stood up and patted his clothes.

"That's all I can tell you. You...maybe understand, maybe not. It doesn't matter."

The kitten still didn't respond.

That's fine too.Rafa hooked the corner of his mouth.How a person is, let's talk about what he does, no matter how much he talks, he is just spit.

"Qi Ya, goodbye. Take care."

By the splashing fountain, a silver-haired boy sat on a bench.The young man with long copper braids patted his head, turned and left.

The author has something to say: Dear friends, auspicious Year of the Rat! !

This chapter is over, continue tomorrow~~

56 messy thread group

Putting the kitten into a sluggish state, Rafa realized that he forgot... he should have asked him about Kurapika first.In fact, it's not that I forgot, it's just that I don't know how to speak.He figured he'd better stop hanging around the kid.Rafa walked slowly all the way, the weather in the afternoon was gray and not very refreshing.Just thinking about it, the phone rang.He picked it up, it was Xiaojie.

"Brother Rafa, what is 'entanglement', you and the leader are both interested in each other... Are you good friends?"

he……

gosh.

hello you odd tooth...

"It's literally. Jay, tell me, Kurapika... ok?"

"Kurapika, he's got a fever. He hasn't quit. We're worried about him..."

fever?

Rafa understood.It must be caused by stress.After all... he killed someone, and the goal was not achieved at all.

this road……

"Brother Rafa, can't you...can't come to see him? Qi Ya said, you are his savior, can't you come to see him?"

He was afraid to hear this sentence...

"Xiaojie...I don't have the position to meet him now..."

"Why! Did brother Rafa do anything to offend him?"

"..." Rafa thought he couldn't speak well.

"Did you help the Phantom Troupe?"

"..." Helping them conceal information counts...

"Are you Kurapika's enemy? Brother Rafa?"

enemy?

Rafa was taken aback.

"I don't want to be his enemy."

"Brother Rafa, you didn't do anything wrong to him, you cared about him, and you didn't help the brigade to hunt him down. Why can't you come? You must come! Kurapika needs you!..."

While Rafa was in a daze, a slightly mature voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Rafa? I'm Leorio. I think... Xiaojie is right, you must meet Kurapika, it will be good for him. I think, in this matter, both of you... There is a knot in my heart that cannot be solved. If you are not on the side of the brigade, then please tell him so!"

Kurapika...do I need to say that myself?

Rafa put down the phone.

I... who is Kurapika?

Think about it from Kurapika's point of view.

Rafa's heart tightened.Could it be... you count him...

Looking at it this way, it's really... unforgivable.

Wouldn't it really irritate him?

Rafa felt that he was almost like poison.He called.

"Mr. Leorio, do you think...is it necessary?" This Leorio must have heard the words relayed by Qi Ya.

"It's a bit embarrassing for you, but... Please clarify the facts that can be clarified. I think... To Kurapika, you are like a relative."

"...Really...I see."

Xiaojie and the others carefully hid Kurapika in an uninhabited remote building.

Rafa came to the agreed place nearby, and Leorio in a suit was waiting for him.Seeing him coming, Leorio's expression was reserved. "Hello! Please come here."

"..." Rafa looked at him, but didn't speak.

The two are in tandem.

"... Are you... telling the truth?"

The person leading the way suddenly said this.Rafa laughed heartily.Sure enough, it is still unacceptable. "I have no boring hobbies."

"I see..." The person in front paused. "Then...you are really..." The other party hesitated to speak.Rafa walked up to him, "Please speak".

"Are you really... the head of the phantom brigade... that man...'s lover?"

explosive.

Rafa suddenly wanted to laugh, but held back.My own bad taste is really...

Really...

He was no longer in the mood to laugh.

"Well... I can't deny it."

The other party finally turned to look at him with a surprised expression.

"...Aren't we there yet?"

"Oh! Soon."

Leorio pushed open the door, and Rafa saw Kurapika lying there, being looked after by someone he didn't know.Seeing someone go in, the squatting person got up.Rafa saw clearly that it was a woman who was not very good-looking.

"Who is this……?"

"This is Mr. Rafa who came to see Kurapika."

"Hello."

"Hello." Rafa nodded to the lady, but she seemed a little surprised. "Excuse me...?" What's wrong?

"This is Melody, a friend Kurapika met at work." Leorio continued to introduce.

melody?Rafa's heart skipped a beat.Once...someone asked him to associate looks with music. "May I ask, are you... you are a music hunter?"

The lady named Melody smiled and told Rafa that she was indeed a music hunter.

"Your name suits you very well."

"Thank you." With a relaxed expression, the woman stepped aside.

"Miss Melody, how is Kurapika doing?" "I woke up more than ten minutes ago and fell asleep again. She looks very restless." "That's it... Thank you for your hard work. Let's go out and eat... Lah Mr. Fa is here to accompany him." "Okay." Melody accepted Leorio's suggestion.The two opened the door and went out, leaving the sleepy boy with Rafa.

The person lying down spat out an indistinct word for "water".Rafa looked left and right, and found the water bottle and glass placed with the towel.

Lifting the boy up into his arms, Rafa patted his face to wake him up, and then pressed the cup to his lips.After taking a few sips, the person in Rafa's arms took a breath and turned around.

Rafa smiled at him, but said nothing.

"..." The boy coughed twice and called out "Brother Rafa".

"Do you still want to drink water?"

The boy shook his head without moving his body.Rafa leaned against him.For a moment no one spoke in the room.Rafa touched Kurapika's forehead, it was as hot as his cheek.He took the towel from one side of the basin, squeezed it dry and pressed it on the other person's head.

"Brother Rafa..."

"Ok?"

"Why are you here?"

"...someone told me that if I care about you, I should let you know."

"Yes... that's it... Brother Rafa..."

"Ok?"

"Actually... I've always wanted to know one thing."

"Tell me. I'll try my best to answer you." Actually...he probably knew what the question was.Rafa put his hands on his shoulders.

"At that time... how brother Rafa rescued me, I know now. It should be... some kind of telekinetic ability. The type that can move space."

"Yes. Those are small props made by others."

"You've even considered that."

"Well, prepare for the worst."

"However, after sending me away, Brother Rafa didn't come out with me."

"...There is only one prop."

"Brother Rafa..."

"Yeah." Say it...

"So... how did you escape?"

"Yeah..." That was beyond words.

"Although brother Rafa should have been very powerful at that time, he probably couldn't leave without incident.

"Well. Actually... I knew them before."

"What?" Kurapika moved.Rafa let him go, let him lean on the pillow, and sat aside by himself.

"Although... I have thought about this possibility, but..."

"But, when you really hear it, you still can't believe it?"

"Hmm." The blond-haired boy looked up, his blue eyes full of seriousness. "When did Brother Rafa know them?"

"It's a long story..." Rafa tilted his head.

"I see." Kurapika took the wet towel from Rafa. "But, this kind of... friendship, will they let you go because of this? After all..." Resentment surfaced on the young man's face. "After all...that's a big move. Haven't you been suspected?"

"Of course...you must be suspected." Rafa looked out the window, it was getting dark. "The other day...how did you find out...that I might know them?"

"...Mobile phone." Kurapika wasn't impatient with the topic being diverted. "I saw your number...on that person's cell phone."

"That person's..." Rafa was taken aback for a moment, and then understood. "Is that so... that makes sense."

"R, A, F. It should be... referring to you... Leorio also confirmed it for me." Kurapika looked up into his eyes.

"Ah..." Raf?It's so simple...

"Brother Rafa...what's the relationship with him?" The boy clenched his fists by his side.

"Kurapika." Rafa changed his posture, facing the other side. "I...have hesitated for too long on this matter. Actually...you should have guessed something."

"..." The little blood on the boy's face began to fade.

"Kurapika, you know... the relationship between people... will change. After getting along for a long time, you will start to discover the advantages in people who only found shortcomings. People's views on people will change. Of course, some A little bit, some may change a lot.” Described from a positive perspective for half a day, Rafa found himself exhausted. "So... now, my opinion of Kuroro has also changed..."

The person on the opposite side lowered his head just now, but now he raised his face again.Visible emotional instability, but Rafa knew he couldn't stop. "Krollo... this person, for me now, is also a person I want to cherish." Carefully choosing words, Rafa finished speaking in one breath, waiting for the other party's reaction.

"Is...is it like this...but! Why! Why did it become like this!!"
