【Group Cool】Dis Aliter Visum

"So what's with that attire?" Leorio asked suddenly, as they were sitting in a restaurant, having just ordered food.When the waiter left, Leorio immediately expressed his doubts, and everyone's eyes turned to Kurapika.

He blinked, "Sorry, what are you talking about?"

"Your clothes," Leorio said, gesturing with a drinking straw, and Kurapika looked down at himself—jeans and a sleeveless zip-up top: "I thought you always wore Kuruta clothes." clothing."

"Ah, that's..." Kurapika moved his body uncomfortably, and the three of them looked at the boy's face: "My clothes were torn last month, I don't have time to fix them. "

"Broken?" asked Cheruah, his eyes sharpened.

Kurapika nodded, crossing his hands on the table. "In the middle of a fight." The boy saw Gang and the three of them cast a surprised look at each other. "When dealing with the spiders," Kurapika explained in detail, this sentence made the other three gasp immediately: "Six people." He added another sentence as if he didn't think the news just now was shocking.

"And you weren't killed by them?" Leorio grunted in disbelief.

Kurapika smiled bitterly. "In a way," he said, and everyone winked at him.Kurapika sighed, looking up at his unchained right hand. "They stole my thoughts," he explained. "I don't know how they did it, but I'll find out why and stop letting the spiders catch me. But now-- between us agreement is still in force.”

"Promise?" Leorio approached Kurapika, although Kurapika knew that the other party was so shocked because he was worried, but it was still a bit annoying: "What promise?"

Kurapika took a look at Leori, his eyes swept over Gang and Killua's faces, and then returned to Leori's face: "I... am traveling with their leader now." Kurapika's words continued. The three of them gasped again: "We are working together to recover the red eyes that are regarded as collectibles in the world."

"So what's the news story we're seeing in Erestor?" Gang asked, turning to Killua.

Killua took up the question: "Obviously that's Kurapika."

The heads of the three turned to look at Kurapika again with a "chuck". "Hmm..." Kurapika said uncomfortably, "I need to admit that after I cooperated with the brigade leader, we didn't...uh...not recover Red Eye in an honest way." The boy lowered his head: " This is a temporary truce, and I..." He bit his lips hesitantly: "I will do anything to get back the red eyes of the people, anything." When he finally had the courage to look up, Gang and Leorio was staring at Kurapika dumbfounded, but Kirua's young and immature face showed a pensive expression that didn't fit his age.

"How many pairs of red eyes have you recovered now?" Killua asked, he wanted to know how the other party was progressing.

"Eight pairs." Kurapika replied, "We still have 8 pairs to recover."

"Wouldn't that be nice!" Gang said suddenly, and Kurapika winked at him. "You didn't know how you were going to get back the eyes of your people," Gang explained, "and now, Kurapika, you've got 8 pairs of eyes! Working with the brigade leader did allow you to achieve your goal, so I think that's very Not bad." He hesitated and continued, "Although I personally...don't like him very much."

Killua nodded. "When did you work with that guy? Last month?" Kurapika nodded again. "So now we have cooperated with one -----"

"Just worked together for about 6 months," Kurapika chimed in.

"-----6 months," changed the keruah, "and you've recovered 8 pairs. You've only gotten pairs in the first 5 years, right?"

"No," Kurapika's expression sank, "That's just a fake made by a telekinetic who can use the copying ability."

"I'd say it's good to work with that guy, right?" Killua leaned back in his chair. "Even if he's a nuisance."

Kurapika hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Yes," he said, "It's worth it." Leori looked at the boy strangely, Kurapika turned to Leori and tilted his head slightly: "What's wrong?" He asked softly, suddenly wondering if Ray Ori is terrified of what to say in front of Gang and Killua.It wasn't that he was ashamed of what had happened between them, or that he regretted their kiss, he just... didn't feel comfortable discussing it in front of his small circle of friends.Kurapika suddenly became worried, could Leorio see the change in him?He could tell that Kurapika had been kissed by another man...and caressed?Will he know what happened between him and Kuroro?

But Leorio just shook his head. "It's okay." He frowned, and it took a while before he replied, "It's just...it doesn't look like you'll act in this way."

Kurapika shrugged slightly on one shoulder, "I'm cooperating with Hisoka to deal with the brigade. If I can achieve my goal, I can also cooperate with the brigade leader."

Leorio tilted his head: "Alright then." He shrugged.When the foursome's order was served, the conversation turned to something lighter, but Kurapika could still feel their gaze, and it was a tense meal for Kurapika.He was almost thankful that he had finished his dinner.The four of them returned to the hotel, and nestled on the luxurious sofas and armchairs after returning to their rooms.Kurapika made tea for himself, maybe they could see that the boy was uncomfortable talking about him and the spider boss, so they didn't ask Kurapika any more questions that day.But Kurapika knew those questions would come sooner or later.When Gang started yawning, Kurapika was relieved not to have to face the three scrutinizing eyes, and as soon as the thought came to his mind, he immediately felt guilty -- they were his friends , are people he can trust, and they will not judge his actions, and they have begun to accept Kurapika's new situation.

Kurapika should be enjoying this time without Kuroro around, but everything is messed up in his head and heart.He closed his eyes and longed for stillness, clutching at a straw hoping his thoughts would stop spinning.When Kurapika fell asleep, he had nightmares one after another, struggling in the darkness one after another. A pair of unblinking eyes stared straight into his heart, digging out his deep soul.

Morning came quickly, and Kurapika walked out of the bedroom slowly and focused on the coffee machine.It could only make one coffee at a time and the boy made one for himself.He added creamer to his coffee and took a slow sip, leaning back against the counter.A bedroom door was opened, and Killua stepped out of the room without a sound. "Oh, good morning," he said after seeing Kurapika.

"Morning." Kurapika responded, almost handing him a cup of coffee, but then he remembered that kiluas don't know how to drink. "I was thinking about buying some puff pastry for breakfast." He took a sip of his coffee and made a face: "A nice cup of coffee." Kurapika looked at Kirua: "What do you want to eat?" Is it?"

Killua watched him silently for a while, then turned around and shrugged. "I'm coming with you," he said, "I need to stretch my legs, wait for me, and I'll change into this pajamas."

"Okay." Kurapika said, he had a hunch those problems would come sooner than he thought.After he finished his coffee and changed, he met Killua at the door and asked, "Are you ready?"

Killua: "Ready."

They walked out of the corridor quietly and headed for the elevator.The atmosphere seemed heavy, almost driving Kurapika crazy.This may be the longest elevator ride he has ever taken.When the two reached the ground floor, Kurapika almost breathed a sigh of relief.When questioned about the location of the bakery by the counter staff, they were pointed to a small street next to the hotel lined with small shops and restaurants.Kurapika and Killua walked around looking at the names of the shops, trying to find a bakery or similar restaurant.After walking about two houses, Killua finally said, "So... did you do it with him?"

Kurapika had been worried that the other party would ask him a question, but this was beyond his expectation and surprised him.Kurapika had no idea what the boy was asking, so he gave Killua a confused look. "What did I do with whom?" he finally asked, eyes turning back to scan store signs for a coffee shop or bakery.

"You know----that thing, and that captain. You make love to him----"

Kurapika suddenly understood what Kirua was referring to, and he immediately interjected to stop the boy from continuing: "Don't!" His voice was harsher than expected, and he forced himself to calm down: "Don't say that word, I know What are you asking; just don't say it."

Killua was cheeky and smug, he shrugged, "Of course, whatever you want." After they walked a few steps, the boy asked without letting Kurapika go, "So, did you do it?"

"No ----- I'm pretty sure not."

"Ah, why? He looks good doesn't he? Creepy though." Killua unwrapped a lollipop and put it in his mouth.

"Because of Kiruah, he's a demon."

"What made you think that?" The boy looked up at Kurapika, as if demanding a reason.This annoyed the teenager, but he didn't know why.

"He killed a lot, a lot of people, and it was nothing special to him."

"Me too." Killua retorted, "I even killed a man in front of you in the final duel of the hunter exam."

Kurapika closed his mouth, pursing his lips into a thin, unhappy curve. "You have your reasons," he said finally.

"Have you ever thought that he has his own reasons? I'm not talking about sentimental nonsense about saving other people's lives. I mean----life, death, are meaningless to me because I do it all the time. Seriously, if it wasn't for Gang, I'd still be killing people for money. So am I the devil?"

Kurapika didn't know how to answer, he wanted to say "no", but that would mean accepting Kuroro did have his own reasons, it would be a disaster for Kuruta boy.He's not a demon, but he can't -- just can't -- make a cheruahm a demon.

"Do you see what I'm pointing at?" Killua grinned. "So... killed people on him, a lot of people, but that doesn't make him a demon."

"He killed my people -----" Kurapika said with a little anger, "My whole clan ----- was slaughtered!"

"But you still fall for that guy." Kurapika looked at his friend in surprise. "So what do you mean, Kurapika?"

"I'm not----I'm not----this isn't----"

"Your words are meaningless, it's written all over your face." Killua turned to look at Kurapika who was stunned.

"I'm not ----- for... why would you know?!"

"I told you." Kiluara pulled out the lollipop and pointed it at Kurapika's face, "It's all written on your face. I mean, when you were in Ukshin City, you had the same look. You looked at Leorio as if you were going to confess to him ----- it reminded me, didn't it?"

Kurapika suddenly felt weak, he needed to sit down -- was he really that easy to read? "Not what?"

"Kiss with Leorio."

"Oh, yes... well, he initiated it, I guess."

"When? In Youkexin City?" Kurapika nodded, his cheeks became hot, and he couldn't believe that he had said everything to the boy in front of him. "French kiss?"

"Kiluah!" Kurapika felt his face turn red. "He...he wanted to do it. But that was...too much for me. So I walked him back to his hotel, gave him a quick goodnight kiss and left. We're done talking about this now Is it an embarrassing topic?"

"You accompanied him home and gave him a good night kiss? My God, Kurapika! What century are you from?!" A thought flashed through the boy's mind, and Kirua blinked: "Wait Wait, you go home with Leorio...and...ha! So 'he' is a girlfriend?!" Then Killua started laughing, and kept laughing until he was clutching his belly: "That's really useless Price! ----- Oh my god, I wish I could see it with my own eyes!"

"You know," Kurapika said hesitantly, "I don't think I'd kiss a guy if I remained sexist." But Killua was still laughing until Kurapika couldn't help smiling.Well, Kurapika needs to admit that there is some humor in this situation.He started to walk forward, and Kirua was still laughing behind him.

When the boy was able to stop, he tilted his head and grinned at Kurapika, "But you like that spider now, or at least, you don't look like you want Leorio in your bed."

"Kiluah!"

"It's more like," Killua continued without pausing, "you look at Leori like you feel bad, at first I thought you didn't like him anymore because you've been apart for so long, but then I thought about it when you were friends Kexin City, we haven't seen each other for 6 months, so it can't be the reason---the only possibility is that you fell in love with someone else, who could it be? Then you said that you wanted to recover Red Eye and With the cooperation of the spider leader, I guessed the answer."

"I didn't know I could be read so easily," Kurapika said, unable to meet Killua's eyes.

"Don't worry," the boy said, shrugging. "Gon's nerves are thicker than a brick, and I don't think Leorio has thought of that."

"I'm going crazy." Kurapika shook his head, "I'm going to be completely crazy."

"Ah! I saw the bakery!" Kirua suddenly pointed forward, "Come on Kurapika! My stomach is already beating, let's go buy a bunch of pastries and go back to the hotel." The boy walked in bakery.

Kurapika looked at his friend and couldn't help but smile.Then he tilted his head, shrugged, and followed Killua.He felt he had a lot to think about, but after this strange conversation ended, his thoughts began to go in another direction.Kurapika didn't know what that meant, but he'd have a few weeks to figure it out.
