Shira, the girl holding a book, spoke softly, a gentle smile on her face.
Compared to Sarasa's liveliness and enthusiasm, Shira seemed quieter and gentler.
These two were the actresses Pakunoda had found to help dub [Cleaning Warriors].
Shira would have an important connection with Kurapika in the original future and would even become someone who influenced his entire life.
Sarasa, meanwhile, was the key figure whose death would drive the troupe led by Chrollo to become the Phantom Troupe, infamous throughout the world.
As for them, that would be discussed later.
What Chrollo had found in Uvogin's territory earlier was a videotape: [Cleaning Squad], an animated show that was hugely popular in the outside world and beloved by children.
This film was highly popular all over the world.
However, because it was spoken in the language of a certain country in the outside world, it was difficult for the people of Meteor City to understand with their local common language.
Not to mention the children, who could neither understand nor follow it. They could only enjoy the pictures.
Chrollo had thought, If everyone could understand it, wouldn't they be even happier?
So he asked Pakunoda to find people who could help dub it.
Shira and Sarasa happened to be very suitable candidates for this.
The two were also happy to help with such a task.
They discussed showing it from the stage at next Sunday's religious gathering and inviting all the children of Meteor City to watch.
And so, their dubbing project quickly got on track.
Especially with Chrollo's efficiency, the dubbing script was completed very quickly.
[Cleaning Warriors] had five main characters, much like the [Super Sentai] tokusatsu shows from Mog's previous life on Blue Star.
Pakunoda, Sarasa, and Shira would each voice one of the three warrior protagonists in [Cleaning Warriors].
Chrollo would voice all the remaining characters himself.
He said, "That way, progress will be faster. Besides, the more people involved, the more likely the dubbing project is to be exposed."
"That's right! Especially don't let Uvogin find out!!"
Sarasa gave an emphatic nod. "That guy is dumb. If people ignore him, he'll get mad and make a fuss, and he'll blab things everywhere."
"Seems like you know Uvogin pretty well, Sarasa."
While dubbing, Chrollo asked what seemed like a casual question.
"Ah, isn't that common knowledge? There probably isn't a child in all of Meteor City who doesn't know Uvogin, right?"
"What about Phinks? Do you know what he's been doing lately?"
"Phinks? He should be with Feitan, right? Those two have always acted together~~~"
"Mm, Phinks and Feitan, Uvogin and Machi—they often do things together..."
Chrollo got to the point. "Have they taken on any new companions recently?"
"New companions?"
Sarasa, who had been working herself into character for her lines, froze for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"With Uvogin's stubborn, dumb personality, Machi is probably the only one who can stand staying by his side."
"I did hear before that some guy dressed like a samurai was close with Uvogin, but they don't seem to have been together for a long time."
"As for Phinks and Feitan, they've always been just the two of them. How could anyone possibly join them?"
"I admit that Phinks looks fierce, but he really is a good person. Feitan's personality, though, is a little strange."
"What, has someone been getting close to them lately? Do you need me to give them a warning?"
Chrollo did not respond to Sarasa, who was eagerly wondering which fool fearless enough to get involved with Uvogin and Phinks had appeared.
"So it seems he only started hanging around Uvogin and the others recently..."
Well, Chrollo might not have known every child in Meteor City, but he at least knew most of them.
Someone who had suddenly appeared beside Uvogin and the others...
"That is rather strange."
Thinking that, he shook his head.
At Pakunoda and Sarasa's call, he joined them in the dubbing work.
Next week, they were going to give all the children of Meteor City a surprise~!
And if they held a screening and invited all the children of Meteor City to watch~~~
"Uvogin and that companion of his will probably come too~~~"
I Know You're in a Hurry, but Don't Be So Hasty
"The life energy that leaks from the human body is called [Aura]. The ability to consciously use [Aura] for attack or defense is called [Nen]."
"Everyone has [Aura] within them. The only difference is how much each person possesses."
"The ability to freely control and increase [Nen] is called a [Nen ability], while those who can discover and use it are called Nen users..."
Mog briefly explained the relevant concepts of Nen abilities to Phinks, Feitan, Nobunaga, and Machi.
Well, these four were mainly the ones who had sincerely made a [request] of Mog.
Even Feitan, who rarely ever said the word [request], understood that gaining such power required paying an appropriate price.
Even Nobunaga, after learning of Mog's strange [rule], readily agreed and sincerely made a [request].
In this regard, Nobunaga had joined them the latest, and he was also the oldest among them.
So he was the one who understood most clearly what needed to be done.
As for a certain stubborn fellow who had kept refusing to relent, he had scratched his head in frustration after Mog excluded him.
He had wanted to wait until Mog told Machi and the others the secret of this power, then learn about it from them.
But clearly, Uvogin's foolish plan had fallen through completely.
Phinks and Feitan simply ignored him, and Uvogin would not go out of his way to embarrass himself.
Nobunaga was currently eating Mog's food and firmly declared that he stood with Mog, making Uvogin grind his teeth in anger.
As for Machi~~~
"You think the others won't tell you, Mog won't tell you, and under those circumstances, I'd tell you?"
Her calm question alone left Uvogin speechless.
"Besides, what would it matter even if you knew?"
Machi said lightly, "This power cannot be mastered by yourself."
"You need someone who possesses this power to help you. Only then can you gain this power~~~"
"In other words..."
Uvogin's mouth fell open.
"That's right. Other than Mog, no one here can help you."
Machi spoke very seriously to Uvogin. "So what you should do depends on you, Uvogin."
After hearing those words from Machi, Uvogin remained silent for an entire day.
Late at night, while the others were reflecting on Mog's teachings—
"Sorry, Mog!!"
On the fourth floor of the Four-Dimensional Space Expansion Box, Uvogin spoke to Mog loudly and earnestly.
"I request that you teach me this power!!"
There was no hesitation, no embarrassment, and no difficulty getting the words out.
He simply made his request with complete sincerity.
Uvogin was that kind of person. Once he made up his mind, he would never regret it. He would act without hesitation and persist to the end.
He was unlike those people who had clearly made up their minds but still let pride get in the way, pretending it was no big deal and laughing it off.
When it came to important matters like this, Uvogin called one one and two two. He would never let things fall apart.
"Got it, lower your voice!"
Even Mog's ears hurt from Uvogin's booming voice.
"You came to me yourself, so of course I'll teach you."
"But~~~"
Before Uvogin could flash that broad grin, Mog promptly continued.
"Right now, I still can't help you master this power."
Uvogin: "???"
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be so hasty."
Mog waved at Uvogin, whose expression had immediately changed and who clearly wanted to say something, signaling him to calm down.
"Your physical condition is still too weak. Once you've trained yourselves to become stronger, it won't be too late to master this power."
"The better your physical foundation is, the easier it will be for you to master this power when the time comes~~~"
There were three ways to master a Nen ability.
One was an [innate] talent. Such people were usually called "geniuses," "controllers," "psychics," "superhumans," "immortals," or "eccentrics."
The most typical example would be Neon Nostrade, the future daughter of the Nostra Family.
She had naturally awakened the Specialization Type Nen ability, [Angel's Auto-Note], allowing her to predict the future.
Uvogin and the others clearly did not fit this category.
The second was the most classic and proper method: awakening through training, cultivating oneself over a long period and thereby comprehending Nen.
Nen could generally be learned by studying gradually under a Nen user, training diligently, sensing the existence of Aura through meditation and seated contemplation, and then learning it step by step.
