The Coming Rain

Chapter.49

Kurapika felt more and more that getting to know the devil Charlotte was the worst thing he had ever encountered in his life.

After leaving the Phantom Troupe, Kurapika was pressed by Charlotte to go to the Sky Arena to register as a player, and then began to compete from the bottom. Before the hundredth floor, no weights could be removed, and Nen could not be used. The use of weapons is also not allowed; from the [-]th floor to the [-]th floor, it is also not allowed to take off the weight and use the mind, but only weapons can be used, and hand-to-hand combat is not allowed; above the [-]th floor, the weight still cannot be removed, but the mind can be used , can also rely on weapons and hand-to-hand combat.

In the Sky Arena, after going up two hundred floors, if you lose a certain number of games, you will return to the floor below to continue playing.So, again, follow the rules.

It can be said that this period of time was one of Kurapika's most painful training sessions.

It has been more than a year since Kurapika worked so hard to put on two hundred layers for the second time, and Charlotte finally allowed him to remove the weight during the competition. According to her, Kurapika's physical strength has once again increased. You have reached the highest level in your current age group, so there is no need to continue to carry weight.

But after the weight was removed, a new problem came up again: Kurapika had gotten used to the weight because he had been carrying it for too long, which resulted in various physical incongruities, so Charlotte gave him a hard training. Familiar with my body, this is the third time I have applied [-] layers.

Before he could win a game after re-ascension to the 287th floor, Charlotte pressed him to go to the Hunter Association to get a registration form, and went to participate in the [-]th hunter test.

For such a long time, Kurapika has never met anyone from the Phantom Troupe in the Sky Arena, and I don't know if the other party deliberately avoided it or Charlotte deliberately avoided it. In short, it was safe and smooth.

Watching Kurapika fill out the form and hand it in, Charlotte thought about it and filled out a form and handed it in.

"Are you coming too?" Kurapika asked a little strangely.

"Of course, although your mind ability has been developed, I still want to train you." Charlotte looked at Kurapika with a headache.

Kurapika's telekinetic ability in the non-red-eye state is still the materialization system. It uses chains to launch attacks and defenses, which is the same as the original book. There is no such mandatory regulation as before - it is only useful for brigade people, but the effect is weaker. There is no change in the healing chain of the thumb and the soul chasing chain of the ring finger, but the chain of binding of the middle finger adds With the time limit of twelve hours, the chain of commandments on the little finger is not used to control the heart, but the brain nerves. Violation of the restriction will cause the other party to fall into a state of suspended animation, and the originally unknown index finger is the chain of awakening, which is the same as Used together with the Chain of Commandments.

Generally speaking, it is still a bit unreasonable, but when she was doing the Mizumi test, she was quite surprised to find that the awakening rate of Kurapika's realization system was 80%, which was already very high, maybe because It is because the opening of the fine pores from the inside is earlier than the original book, the awakening of the ability to read is much better, coupled with the influence of Charlotte's spirit on his body, there is such a result.

It's just that, after fully using the mind ability in the red-eye state, it still enters "absolute time", and it will be very tired afterwards and will fall into a coma for a long time.

Kurapika didn't ask any more questions, just put on the weight, and went to the hunter test with Charlotte.

The hunter test starts on January [-] every year. Charlotte can't understand why the weather is so hot at this time, just like summer. Later, I don't bother to care about it. This world can't use the common sense of her world. to measure.

When Charlotte and Kurapika boarded the boat, they saw Xiaojie and Leorio at a glance.

It would be great if Qi Ya was here now, and the protagonist's four-member group would be all together.Charlotte thought so emotionally.

The weather was fine, Charlotte was on a boat for the first time after coming to this world, so she leisurely climbed to the top of the mast and sat in the sun, Kurapika completely ignored her behavior.

Xiaojie was fishing on the side of the boat, looking very leisurely, Charlotte looked at it for a while, and shouted to the bottom: "Kurapica, throw two knives up, and prepare a big plate to put on the bottom." Pickup looked at her speechlessly for a while, then borrowed two similar kitchen knives from the ship's galley and threw them up. Charlotte easily caught them, and the plate was casually placed on the ground.At this moment, Xiaojie caught a big fish, and Charlotte rushed towards the fish, and when it landed on the ground, he quickly picked up the plate, picked up the sliced ​​sashimi steadily, and smiled He brought it in front of the stunned Xiaojie: "Do you mind if I cut your fish? Do you want to eat it together?"

Xiaojie's Douziyan returned to normal in an instant: "I don't mind at all, how do I eat this?"

"Let's eat boiled fish fillets!" Charlotte handed the plate to Xiaojie to drag, and hopped to the kitchen to find a working pot, mixed the seasonings and side dishes, added water to boil, and then brought it to the deck to set up a charcoal Put the pot on the stove, and let Xiaojie add the fish fillets one by one, and the aroma is overflowing.

"Sister, let everyone come and eat together!" Xiaojie smiled happily when he saw Leorie next to him almost drooling.

"But there are not enough fish, can you guarantee that you can catch a few more fish?" Charlotte asked knowingly, thinking that this kid is so kind.

"Just look at mine!" Xiaojie said confidently.

The meal ended rather cheerfully, and the on-deck brawl that would have occurred was avoided, and the captain brought a keg of beer to cheer him up.At the end, Charlotte saw Xiaojie standing at the bow of the ship, and the captain didn't know what they were talking about. Thinking of the plot of the original book, she smiled and didn't care.

"What are you playing?" Kurapika and Charlotte were in charge of washing the dishes, which made him quite helpless. "Not to mention showing my strength, I have to help you do this kind of thing!"

"Actually, the second half of the sentence is the key point!" Charlotte complained unceremoniously, "Didn't you also enjoy eating? Besides, do you think I can fully expose things like strength?"

Kurapika was silent for a while, then rested his forehead and said, "Okay, you won. However, I always feel that you approached that child with a purpose."

"His name is Jay, Jay Freesh." Charlotte kindly reminded Kurapika.

"There's something wrong with you remembering the other person's name so clearly..." Kurapika looked at her strangely.

"It's nothing." Charlotte smiled brightly, "Xiaojie is very interesting, he is a very good boy, you will also like Kurapika, a simple person, it is easy to attract the attention of others, not to mention him He has the potential, he has the ability to make people close, he is loved by the heavens."

"Your evaluation is quite high." Kurapika paused, "But you can convince me that at least Jay is better than that old man in a suit."

"Pfft! That's Leo Li, Leo Li Palatinate, although the surname is hard to remember, but the name is still easy to remember, although he looks very mature, in fact, he is only 19 years old, only older than you Two years older." Charlotte burst out laughing when she heard "uncle".

"What?!" Kurapika yelled in disbelief, and then calmed down consciously, "He looks so old... But I don't see any potential in his words." Kurapika said at this time There is still some disdain for Leo Li.

"You just wait, you will find something." Charlotte restrained the exaggerated smile on her face and said confidently.

"Then I'll just wait." Kurapika also said with a smile, he could still trust Charlotte's eyesight.

After the accident in the original work happened on the boat, Charlotte stood in the wind and rain and looked at the trio who jumped down together to save others. She just smiled and didn't speak, but she grabbed Leorio's ankle with her hands, and then pulled Leorie hard. Four people, including the crew, were dragged up.

The sakura festival seal that strengthens her strength really destroys her image as a girl.Charlotte looked at the surprised expressions of the others and thought about it, but smiled at Kurapika: "How is it?"

"You're right." Kurapika nodded solemnly, then got up and walked in front of Leori, extending his right hand in a friendly way: "Thank you, Leori."

"What are you doing, you were so angry before..." Leori scratched his wet hair, laughed and stretched out his hand, and shook Kurapika's hand vigorously, "There is nothing to thank, please give me more advice in the future , Kurapika."

Charlotte was sitting next to Xiaojie, and said with a smile, "Everyone has become good friends."

"Yeah!" Xiaojie also looked at Kurapika and Leorio happily, completely unaware that the water on his body had been sucked away by Charlotte, and his body was completely dry when he recovered.Using the same method to solve the other two drowned chickens, Charlotte shook her hand, thinking that the kitchen was more suitable for her.

"Is there any dessert you want to eat? I'll make it." I haven't made dessert for a long time, so it's good to practice my hands.

"Apple pie." "Blueberry egg tart." "Strawberry cake." The three of them each reported their own.

"...It's so troublesome, but in order to celebrate you becoming friends, I will agree to your request this time." Charlotte shrugged.

Looking at the three people in front of her, Charlotte felt that coming to this world was not too bad.

Dessert making is naturally her show time. While thinking about how much sugar to add to the egg tarts, Charlotte is paying attention to the heat of the apple pie that is being baked, and the cake under her hands has also been creamed.

Noticing someone's scent approaching, Charlotte didn't think too much about it, just pretended that it was Kurapika looking at the situation, and said casually: "Close the door when you come in, if the smell disperses, I don't know how many servings I'll make. "

Then I heard the sound of the door being opened and closed, but at the same time, there was a "click" sound of the door lock being locked.

"What are you doing to lock the door..." Charlotte turned her head strangely, but when she saw the person coming, her body stiffened and she felt chills all over her body, and a familiar name escaped from her mouth: "Kurolo... Lucy."
