The cat of the hunter of the thorn princess

Lying on the single bed in the room, Nuka recalled the message from Yuyin just now... He clenched his sore fists, and finally... he was able to leave here, out of Illumi's control.He must be angry with the painstaking design... But doesn't this also achieve his goal?When will I see Qi Ya...

Covering his eyes with the back of his hands, Nuka felt unprecedentedly tired for some reason... There was no joy of imminent liberation, only unknown sorrow.

Three days later—

Holding his few luggage, Nuka was walking down the mountain, turning around... Sure enough, he didn't see that familiar figure.It's all... over and the game is... over.Goodbye, Illumi.

At this time, on the crown of a certain tree in the dry mountain forest——

"Master Ilumi, don't you want to see him off?" A tall and strong figure stood beside Ilumi. She was wearing a black butler uniform and a single-rimmed spectacles on the right.She is Xiba's exclusive butler, and also Yuyin's grandmother, Zipo Nian.

"Yeah." His eyes followed the blond figure all the way until he saw her push open the door to beat the enemy Hakka.

"Young master, please don't resent the master." Zi Po Nian, who has watched these children grow up, understands Xiba's painstaking efforts better than anyone else. It is not easy to beat the enemy Hakka until now. All had a hard time.

"...I know." Illumi, who didn't want to continue talking about this topic, jumped off the canopy and disappeared into the forest.

Republic of Bartocia, Sky Arena.

"Yo, little one~" It was Hisoka who had made an appointment to meet in front of Nuka.Different from the formal attire at the last banquet, this time he combed his flamboyant red hair, painted his face with heavy oil paint, wore a tight clown suit and strange red high-heeled shoes, and was twisting his waist to say hello to Nuka .

"Hisso..." Nuka, who hadn't changed his uniform, stood in front of the Sky Arena, looked up at the towering arena, and said to him.

"You live here?"

"Hmm, come with me~" Hisoka walked into the elevator with his tail behind him, and said 200 floors in the corner of the elevator lady's twitching eyes.

Nuka can see that the elevator lady is not weak, but she seems to dislike Hisoka... Could it be that he has harassed her?Um…

"Welcome to my room, little one~" Hisoka, who was extremely excited as soon as he entered the door, looked at Nuka, and he couldn't restrain the excitement in his blood when he thought of the condition put forward by the little one.

"Hisuo, I'm not called a little one..." Slowly looking at the ridiculously large room, Nuka's injuries have basically recovered, as long as Hisoka thinks, she can agree to fight with him today.Back then, the condition for letting Xishou release Illumi was to play with him until she had a good time. It can be said that her life is completely in the hands of this lunatic now, but Nuka has long been mentally prepared.

"Hey, Nuka, come on...I can't wait~" The tall man held a poker card between his fingers, and attacked her at the next instant!

"Hehe, hahaha——!!" The poker card wrapped around 'Zhou' is hard and sharp. Normally, just a touch of it can cut through the opponent's defense or even the body, but when it hit Nuka, it bounced back from the entanglement. .

"Oh?" So angry... Hisoka licked his lips with interest, what secrets does this little guy have... let him discover them one by one.

Nuka didn't intend to die here, she was 60% sure that Hisoka would not kill her right away, the only thing that could compete with him now... was the consumption of mind energy.In addition to having a natural advantage in the amount of thoughts due to the fact that people with the ability to read have a longer time than others, people with natural thoughts are also more economical in the use and transmission of thoughts than others, because thoughts are like air to them, and have been integrated into breathing. .

With a dodge and block to avoid Hisoka's elbow, Nuka panted slightly and looked at the relaxed Hisoka.The difference in actual combat skills is too far... No longer hide and take out your own weapon, Nuka rushed towards Hisoka in the fanatical eyes of the opponent, blindly defending is futile, only attacking!

For two full hours... When Nuka was lying on the ground covered in wounds, the manager gave Hisoka a lot of damage. Although none of the injuries were fatal, the clown seemed very satisfied...

Throwing a gold card beside her, Hisoka twisted his waist and left.It seems that the warm-up just now completely aroused his desire to fight, and it might not be a good idea if he doesn't go out to vent a bit.

"...Pervert." Picking up the gold card, Nuka pouted.On Meteor Street, only those who sell will be thrown money... Hisoso, this stinking XX...

He said so, but he didn't intend to be polite to him at all. Nuka got up tremblingly, took a red shirt from the closet casually, and walked into the bathroom, his whole body hurt like falling apart.As for the living room that has been abandoned... He will clean it up when Hisoka comes back.

6 months later -

Illumi, who was on a mission outside, dealt with the target with a wave of his hands, and habitually glanced behind, but was stunned by his own actions a second later.That's right... that little one won't follow behind anymore.

During this period of time, his tasks were very tight, and he probably didn't have time to think about other things, but for some reason, he always recalled that soft voice at the end.How did I live in the past ten years without her...Suddenly I can't remember.

"By the way, I haven't settled with Hisoka yet." His right fist struck his left palm, and Illumi suddenly remembered the clown who must have intervened. Without him, Nuka's plan could not have gone so smoothly.Thinking of getting Hisoka a lot of money by doing this, Illumi felt that at least his material losses should be made up for.Let's go, take a look at the sky... Immediately set off to the sky arena.

The glowing red sun hangs in the sky like a harmless fireball, adding warmth to the city shrouded in cold winter. The huge and bright floor-to-ceiling windows are covered with a layer of gold by the setting sun, illuminating the faces of the sleeping people on the bed.

Hisoka is a nocturnal animal, and he usually sleeps until the afternoon when he comes back in the morning.Since Nuka temporarily 'settled' here, she occupied the soft and spacious sofa in the living room, and she ignored all the women Hisoka came in and out or occasionally brought back.only…

"Put on clothes... Hisoka, hot eyes..." Nuka, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, ate potato chips boredly, not even looking at the white body coming out of the bedroom.

"Little one is so boring~" Mingming said blushing when he saw it for the first time, Hisoka laughed and walked into the bathroom naked.

"...Huh." In the past six months, no matter how thin-skinned he is, this pervert has thickened his skin. Anyway, as long as he is a corpse, it will be fine.There is... nothing to be ashamed of.Nuka gnawed on the potato chips, but the strength of the gnashing of teeth seemed to be not the potato chips but Hisoka's arm.

Everything happened unexpectedly, Nuka never expected to meet Illumi again in such a short period of time, and Illumi also didn't expect to see Nuka in Hisoka's room...and it was in Hisoka When I just came out of the shower with only a towel around it.

"...Ah oh." Hisoka whistled, looking at Illumi who was squatting on the window sill and... Nuka who was sitting on the sofa wearing only a shirt and holding a piece of potato chips in his hand.

Whoosh—Nuka quickly opened the door and ran out, disappearing without even wearing shoes.

"Illumi...is hated~" Hisoka, who was laughing, had an extremely flat expression on his face. He leaned against the door with his waist in his arms, and looked at the black-faced Illumi.

"Hisso." Turning his head mechanically, Illumi said something in a flat tone with some emotion brewing in his eyes.

"Do you want to die..."

Hisoka was stunned for a second and then laughed maniacally. He covered his mouth and stomach while laughing, and then managed to see the bun-faced Illumi.

"Haha..." Hisoka looked at Illumi with a quick laugh and said.

"Xiaoyi is still so interesting~"

"Don't call me Xiaoyi." Illumi, who didn't think it was funny, looked at Hisoka with a vein on his forehead, and the two nails were already caught in his hands.

"Hmm~ I'm not interested in small immature fruits. If Illumi likes it, I can just snatch it away~" He walked into the room generously, tore off the bath towel, opened the closet and took out a clown suit.

"...Like?" Illumi put away the nail and touched his chin, as if he didn't quite understand the meaning of these two words.

"That's right~ you like little ones, Illumi~" Hisoka, who was looking forward to watching a good show, told Ilumi directly.In his opinion, you can get it if you like it, and throw it away if you don't like it.But he forgot that Illumi is not from Meteor Street, and his love is not so easy to give and get.

Illumi, who was deep in thought, ignored Hisoka, he had more important things to do now, as for the account with Hisoka.

"Hisuo, transfer 2 million rings to my account before tomorrow." After leaving these words, he disappeared at the door, and now it's Hisoka's turn to change his face...

Wearing only a knee-length men's shirt, Nuka walked barefoot in the hall on the 150th floor of the arena with slightly messy blond hair, automatically ignoring the ambiguous gazes from all sides.At that time, I was too nervous and my body automatically reacted to escape from the scene, and I ran down the 50th floor in one breath...

"Miss, are you alright?" Nuka raised her head and showed a childish face as she quickly grew to 150cm in height and could barely be called a miss by others.

"...Well." The man who skipped the conversation walked to the left, and she was not quite clear-headed yet.

"I can give it..." The man was stunned for a second, then he wanted to pull her hand, but the next moment he was frightened by a nail that was shot, his hand trembled.

Nuka turned around stiffly, and looked at the slender figure standing in the middle of the hall. It was Illumi who had been found.What is he looking for me for?I'm done with beating the Nemesis...or has he decided to kill me?Nuka, who couldn't describe his current mood, pursed his lips and stood there stubbornly looking at him.

"Nuka, come here." Illumi looked at her, she hadn't seen her grow a lot in half a year, but how could she walk outside dressed like this, it was too disobedient.

"...No." Taking two steps back stiffly, Nuka didn't understand why she was more afraid of him after leaving to beat the enemy.

"You're disobedient again..." Walking forward calmly, Illumi used another nail to get rid of the man blocking the way. As he kept approaching, Nuka kept backing away until...

run!There was only this word in my mind... I used my thoughts to move quickly in the corridor until a few minutes later I felt a burning pain in my chest. Nuka hid behind the safety door of the staircase passage and held his breath.

"...Where are you going?" The clear voice that suddenly appeared behind her made cold sweat break out on her back, she turned her head in a daze, and Illumi stood behind her and bent down to look at her from above.

"I... Lumi..." Looking up at him with wide eyes, Nuka knew that she couldn't run away, but she also didn't understand the purpose of Ilumi chasing her.

"Hisuo said I like you." Illumi tilted his head as if perplexed and puzzled, he stroked Nuka's face with one hand, and poked it with his fingers as if he was satisfied with the touch of his hand.

"...Huh?" Nuka, who was completely stunned, couldn't keep up with his brain circuit.

"I think there is such a possibility." After carefully analyzing my mentality and behavior in the past year, if it is from a psychological point of view, there is an 80% possibility that I have developed this kind of emotion called liking.

"So you can't be with Qi Ya anymore, stay away from him... Nuka."

Let alone whether Nuka could believe his words, judging from this sentence alone, it would arouse enough hostility and disgust in her.

"I'm no longer the servant who beat up the enemy's Hakka... Illumi." There was alertness and warning in her eyes, and now she was like a wild beast with razor-sharp teeth, showing its claws to the man.

"Of course, you will still be... ah." Illumi, who was about to say something, suddenly thought of his mother who has been urging him to go on a blind date at home recently. He decided to settle the family first and then 'inform' her of the good news. .So Illumi patted her head with the other hand, rubbed it lightly a few more times, and said to her in a gentle tone that can only be used with younger brothers.

"Anyway, don't be too naughty Nuka, don't let me not find you."

When Nuka was in the fog, the plot took another 180-degree turn... She really didn't know what Illumi was thinking, so she patted her hand at the beginning quite impatiently.Since he has no plans to settle old scores now, she will go back too.

"From today onwards, you can't live with Hisoka." Illumi firmly grabbed Nuka's hand and led her to his room on the 200th floor. Ka, said in a somewhat helpless tone.

"Be obedient...Nuka." Grandpa would run away if he didn't coax his daughter-in-law well. How did dad coax mom...?Illumi began to recall with a blank face.

"I won't... eh? Mmmmm!" Nuka, who was picked up by the man and pressed against the door panel, opened her eyes wide in surprise.

☆, Illumi's date (completed)

The author has something to say: Do you feel that the dialogue between Illumi and Nuka in this episode is a bit overwhelming, haha
