From Hunter x Hunter to Master Inventor: Section 37

At least Franklin was gracious enough to rarely argue with Uvogin anymore.

After all, no matter how you looked at it, eating someone else's food made you soft—he had to rein it in a bit.

The others had no objections either. Come on, this kind of food was way better than what they used to eat, no contest.

"As for clothing, I've already designed some basic styles for the battle uniforms."

Chrollo said, taking a bite of the pure white steamed bun.

It really was full of wheat flavor!

Everyday and casual wear outside of combat didn't need major changes.

Strictly speaking, Meteor City could even be considered a "hidden realm"—their clothes were pretty fitting for deep mountain forests.

But the team uniforms, though...

"I think we could tweak it like this."

After Mog gave some solid advice, Chrollo revised and adjusted it until it ended up looking similar to the original [Hyakuju Sentai] outfits.

And at this point, it was time to use...

"Costume Change Camera~!"

In Mog's hand, another brand-new [invention] appeared.

A square shape, a lens in the middle, and strange patterns around the edges—a camera.

Invention: [Costume Change Camera]

Source: Doraemon World—Future Technology Company.

Effect: It looks like a camera. Insert a picture of clothes into it, then take someone's photo, and that person will instantly be wearing the clothes from the picture. If no picture is inserted, the person photographed will end up naked.

"Just insert the photo like this~~~"

Mog placed the paper with Chrollo's designed outfit into the camera, aimed it at Chrollo, and gently pressed the shutter.

Click.

Poof~!!

Suddenly, a puff of mist scattered, and Chrollo's body was instantly clad in a dazzling, handsome red team uniform!

"So cool~!!"

The group, who had been lounging lazily after eating their fill, immediately crowded around when they saw Chrollo in his new outfit.

"Is this our team uniform?! Awesome!!"

"Wow wow, dressed like this, we're gonna look so cool!!"

"The fabric of this outfit is amazing too—I've never seen clothes this high quality!!"

"And it can just conjure clothes out of thin air?! That's incredible!!"

"What's the principle behind this?!!"

Chapter 052: Why the hell did you drag me along to be a villain?!

The crowd was both fascinated by the gorgeous team uniform on Chrollo and amazed by the transformation.

Just by using a picture of clothes, you could take a photo and instantly get nice clothes out of it?!

Something like this was completely unheard of before—they'd never even heard of it!!

But in Mog's hands, it was done so easily.

He was like an old immortal in a wishing well—no matter what request came up, he seemed able to fulfill it!!

That's right, Uvogin secretly gave a thumbs-up to that.

Mog really did have that special way of only helping when someone asked.

"With this, the costumes are no problem either!!"

Chrollo, wearing the outfit himself, also got a real feel for it.

Whether it was large-scale jumps, running, and other activities, or just sitting or lying down at rest, This outfit felt so smooth and comfortable on him.

And most importantly...

It looked really cool and handsome!!

"I'm getting more and more confident about this shoot now!!"

Chrollo smiled as he looked at Mog, his tone carrying a rare hint of excitement and admiration:

"With costumes and preparations like this, we're definitely going to make an outstanding piece of work!!"

"This is even better than what I originally imagined~!!"

"I really owe it all to the tools and logistical support you provided, Mog!!"

The others, spurred by Chrollo's words, nodded in unison without hesitation.

Whether it was providing them with such abundant and delicious meals, or these particularly stylish and comfortable outfits—

Not to mention the yet-to-be-officially-used stereoscopic projection equipment that could serve as a backdrop...

Everything Mog had brought out and prepared left them thoroughly impressed.

Even Franklin and Shira, the two who were slightly more mature and kind-natured, felt that Mog had already done more than enough.

As for them, they were just here eating Mog's food and wearing Mog's clothes...

It made them feel a bit ashamed.

"It's nothing, it's all needed for filming anyway~~~"

Mog looked Chrollo up and down, then clicked his tongue in admiration: "This means Lion Red is officially set!!"

Well, he didn't plan to change the initial standard lineup of the team.

Red representing the lion, yellow representing the gray eagle, blue representing the shark, white representing the white tiger, and black representing the running bull.

Then, depending on the filming situation, they could add the original silver wolf or other animals.

As for Chrollo being the core protagonist, Lion Red~~~

Once this show became a hit, Chrollo would step into the spotlight and gain more attention.

Meanwhile, Mog could quietly hide behind the scenes.

In any team, there needs to be someone behind the scenes and someone in front.

Chrollo was the one holding up the image for their small group.

If this work really took off, there might be other troublesome matters.

With Chrollo's intelligence and wit, solving such problems and dealing with all kinds of people was something he excelled at.

By then, even outsiders would likely think Chrollo was the core leader of the team.

And Mog, the real big boss, could comfortably stay hidden in the background.

Within the team, needless to say, Mog was already above Chrollo now.

Whether in age, demeanor, contributions, or the sheer wonder of his various peculiar "inventions"...

Just the fact that he could keep everyone well-fed was enough to secure his unshakable position.

Not to mention that later on, Mog would continue to use his "inventions" to further solidify his status.

His role as an "inventor" wasn't prominent in the script, but the "inventions" he gained from it would elevate Mog's foundation by several levels.

After Chrollo finished his test, the others started clamoring for roles too.

Nobunaga took the yellow gray eagle, Franklin got the black running bull, Shalnark snagged the blue shark, and Pakunoda obtained the white white tiger.

The initial five were thus settled.

"How nice, I really want to wear an outfit like that too..."

Sarasa's face was full of envy beside them.

Well, among everyone present, she was the youngest and shortest, even shorter than Feitan.

She hadn't fully developed yet, unlike Feitan.

Because of her height, there naturally wasn't a suitable team role for her.

Voice acting would be fine, but performing...

"So I can only play the Guide Envoy in the Sacred Mountain, right?"

Sarasa sighed as she looked at the script.

In the Sacred Mountain, there was a Saintess who guided the members of the Hyakuju Sentai to become true Champions, and she also notified the team members when the mountain was attacked.

It wasn't a big role, but it was still a positive character.

"Be grateful, it's good enough that you even get to act."

Franklin, who was pleasantly surprised that his own image could land a positive role, comforted her.

As a good-natured guy, he used to pick whatever roles were left over.

In the original plot, he always took the voice-acting role of the big villain King Mohei, which no one else wanted.

Now he had also gotten a role representing the color black.

But this time, he was a partner of justice!!

"Originally, we thought that with Machi's personality, she'd be more suited to play this kind of Saintess..."

"No way!!"

Machi refused sternly beside them, rare in her anger.

"Why not? A Saintess role?! That's everyone's dream..."

"Then you go do it! If I have to act, I want to play the villain!! Villain, villain, villain!!"

Machi grumbled there.
