handsome brothers

No matter how much Kurapika thought about the answer, he never expected it to be like this. The calm and self-sufficient boy lost his composure directly by being stimulated, and called out.

"I don't know whether they bought this pendant, or whether they are from the Kuruta tribe. To be honest, I haven't been able to see my father and aunt for nearly eight years."

Maybe it was because the disappointed expression of the beautiful boy was too obvious, and Olivia couldn't bear it. She thought about it carefully and added another sentence.

"Maybe my memory is wrong and I can't tell... I saw my father's eyes turn red when I was a child, but he kept telling me that he was wearing colored contact lenses, so I believed that. Listen to you today, Perhaps my father and aunt are members of your tribe who left the Kuruta tribe early."

The willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and the twists and turns may be talking about the current situation.

Kurapika's eyes lit up suddenly, and the crimson eyes were as clear as the finest expensive gemstones, astonishingly beautiful.

He seemed to really want to hold Olivia's hands, but he was afraid of being like before, so he restrained his excitement abruptly, just stood there and clenched his fists with bright eyes and said,

"Then when the exam is over, can I go back with you to visit your father and aunt and ask about the situation?"

"Oh? Do you want to go back with me to meet the parents~"

Olivia was infected by the boy's joy, and she immediately made fun of it.

"No! I didn't mean that! That...!"

Kurapika's face flushed all of a sudden, he was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.

"Haha, I'm just kidding you~"

After Olivia laughed, she thought of something, and her expression gradually dimmed, "If possible, I also want to take you to meet them. If they are from the Kuruta tribe, they will be very happy to see their compatriots. But ..."

"It's not just you, even I can't see them..."

The sadness in those eyes was no less than that of Kurapika.Leori and Kurapika glanced at each other, and just about to continue asking, Olivia had withdrawn her leaked emotions, pointed to the gradually dimming sky outside the window, and changed the topic with a smile,

"Let's talk about the specific situation after the exam is over. It's getting late now, so it's better for everyone to rest earlier."

"Then see you tomorrow."

The door was closed softly.Inside the door, Kurapika and Leorio looked at each other, because they were speechless for a while because of the overwhelming amount of information they received.

On the other hand, Olivia went to bed quickly after returning to her room.In her sleep, she faintly heard the roar of the airship when it was in operation, so she casually put on a coat and rushed out to check the situation.

There were already many people at the airport.What can be learned is that the old couple left first, and they need to use their own strength to spend the remaining two days.

Fortunately, there was a think-tank leader like Kurapika who was willing to stand up and unify the team. In the following days, everyone worked together and faced two natural disasters that were rare in ten years-after the sea waterspout, finally After spending two days without any risk, the Hunter Association came to pick up their airship.

When they arrived at the security island where the fourth test site was located, Lieber, the examiner of the third test, was still in charge of the test.After he took out a cardboard box for everyone to draw lots, he announced the clearance conditions for the exam.

The rules are simple, the contestants compete for number plates, and if they get 6 points in a week, they will pass.Your own number plate is worth 3 points, the prey number plate drawn by lottery is worth 3 points, and the number plate of others is worth 1 point.

Olivia glanced at the number 89 she had drawn, and put the slip of paper together with her number 196 into her pocket indifferently.

She decided to grab the number plate of whoever she met.

In the entire examination room, only Hisoka and Brother Nail made her a little bit on guard, and she didn't want to spend too much time on Zayu.

The brutal training she has experienced and the experience she has gained from doing tasks make her especially good at tracking prey.Not long after the exam started, she got 3 number plates.

There was still a lot of time left at this time, and with an outing mentality, she wandered around this big forest in an unusually relaxed manner.

A few days later, she came to a clearing after chasing a cute little squirrel with rabbit ears.But suddenly heard a painful cry from the tree hole.

The voice was so familiar, Olivia was startled, and rushed over without thinking.

"Little Jay!"

……

People are very homesick when they are vulnerable.

After facing Hisoka's horrific killing intent and malicious [Nan], Xiaojie successfully snatched Hisoka's number plate even though he was trembling with fear.

Unexpectedly, the praying mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind him. During his escape, someone injected him with a poisonous needle with a strong anesthetic, causing him to fall to the ground and be unable to move.

However, the sneak attacker was killed by Hisoka who rushed over before he had time to be proud. In order to better taste the grown-up Xiaojie, Hisoka not only did not kill him, but also left his number plate to him.

Such behavior was an insult to Xiaojie. After he refused to accept it, he was punched flying by Hisoka, and half of his face was swollen.

Struggling to climb into the tree hole, the young boy recalled every word Hisoka said over and over again, his doubts about himself, his dissatisfaction with his lack of strength, his fear of Hisoka, and the depression surging in his heart. The pain, the paralysis of the whole body, the stomach cramps and vomiting caused by gnawing off the bark, fell into a deep coma.

He dreamed of Aunt Mitt, the great woman who was not a mother but was better than a mother, who gave him a warm childhood and all his love.In the dream, Aunt Mitt gently patted him to sleep, and the warmth in her arms made him yearn for it.

A tear fell unconsciously from the corner of the little boy's eyes, and he let out a few inaudible ravings, "Aunt Mitt..."

However, when he struggled to wake up from his sleep, he found that he had been put on an oversized women's top with a familiar fragrance.Somehow, the pain and numbness in his body basically disappeared, and he can move around freely.

Just when he froze in place, unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality for a moment, he fell into a warm embrace.

"How do you feel now? Is there any pain? Your stomach can't adapt to anything too irritating, so I simply cooked some fruit soup and brought it to you later."

It's Olivia.

Xiaojie leaned blankly in the woman's soft and warm embrace, watching her bright facial features soften at this time, and her beautiful peach eyes were filled with delicate, gentle light.

For some reason, Xiaojie suddenly felt a little aggrieved, his face wrinkled uncontrollably, the fear of being late and unwillingness caused small bubbles to rise in his heart, which blocked his throat.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he really wanted to act like a baby, so he subconsciously reached out and hugged the woman's slender waist, and buried himself in her embrace.

Olivia's heart almost melted at the young boy's performance. She hugged him back with distress and affection, and activated her ability again.

Xiaojie felt that Olivia exuded an aura similar to that of Hisoka at that time.But unlike Hisoka's terrifying aura full of killing intent, Olivia's aura was just like her own, warm, soft, and reassuring.

Xiaojie gradually closed his eyes comfortably, and fell into a deep sleep again.

"This child... at least eat something before going to bed..."

Gently stroking the young boy's tender face, Olivia thought silently:

If my younger brother can wake up, he should be a boy of this age...

……

It was evening when Xiaojie woke up again.

He was still lying in Olivia's arms, but the two moved outside from the tree hole.Seeing that he was awake, Olivia fiddled with the fire, and handed him a bowl of fruit soup.

It might be because he was too hungry to move, or it might be some other unexplainable reasons, Xiaojie continued to lie in Olivia's arms without moving, thanked him sweetly, took the bowl and ate.

"Wow! Super delicious! Thank you! Sister Ollie!" Xiaojie's eyes sparkled.

"Eat more if you like it, if it's not enough, I'll help you with something else."

Olivia expressed that she was so cute. She squeezed the boy's soft face and smiled.

"Also, I washed and dried your clothes for you. You can change them later."

Seeing that he was almost done eating, Olivia took out the neatly folded clothes and handed them to him.

"Woo... Thank you, Sister Oli..." Xiaojie took the clothes, his eyes flashed, and he felt like he was about to cry.

Not knowing why it was a bit funny, Olivia held her face and asked with a smile, "So, how did you get into such a miserable state?"

……

"...Ah...So that's how it is..."

After learning the whole story and the teenager's troubles, Olivia fiddled with the fire, and suddenly asked some questions,

"Xiaojie, why do you want to be a hunter?"

"Eh?"

Xiaojie was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and replied, "My father is a hunter. I want to know what kind of job a hunter is before I signed up for the exam...but I don't want Hisoka to give me alms." number plate..."

In Olivia's eyes, Xiaojie's words were like a child throwing a temper tantrum. She felt like laughing, but she could understand it completely.

Children of this age have the right to be innocent and self-willed, and it would be too pitiful if they couldn't even give this.

But the so-called adults are to give children the correct guidance.So Olivia expressed her understanding and affirmation of Xiaojie's words with a serious face.

"Everyone has their own persistence and glory. I can fully understand your choice. But..."

"The premise is that you don't regret your choice."

Olivia glanced at Xiaojie and pointed, "What is the most important thing to you now? What exactly do you want to achieve?"

Stopping Xiaojie from eagerly trying to refute something, Olivia picked up his No. 405 and Hisoka's No. 44 plates that Xiaojie threw on the grass, and put them in his arms.

"When you figure it out, come find me near the entrance of the exam. Based on your answer, I will decide whether to return the two number plates to you."

The author has something to say:

As a dirty adult, as long as you can achieve your goals, you can use any means, so Xiaojie is still a child (lights a cigarette)
