Becoming a Master Inventor Starting from Hunter x Hunter

Uvogin, still seething, grumbled, "Those guys don't deserve to be called human!!"

"Even though I don't usually agree with you..."

Even Phinks frowned, his usually unexpressive face looking particularly grim and terrifying:

"But this time, I completely agree with your decision."

"Are you two idiots?!"

Franklin, the eldest brother, said in a low voice, "With Mog and Chrollo there, we don't need to act rash.

"They'll come up with a great solution!!"

Uvogin pouted and muttered something under his breath again.

Feitan and Nobunaga also remained silent.

Seeing this, Sarasa blinked.

In this somber atmosphere, someone had to do something...

"Um, Machi..."

Sarasa's eyes darted around, and she asked with feigned curiosity, "When did you meet Mog?"

"When..."

Machi paused slightly.

And the others, like Nobunaga, Feitan, Phinks, and later Franklin and Shalnark.

Even Shira and Pakunoda, all cast curious glances.

"It wasn't that long ago..."

Machi lowered her head, and seeing Sarasa's charming wink, she immediately guessed what she was up to.

Without missing a beat, she played along:

"Mog came to me and Uvogin on his own, asking if we were hungry."

"And then? And then?!"

"Then... after Uvogin said of course he was hungry, Mog took me and Uvogin to plant rice seedlings."

"Huh?!"

Phinks turned his head in astonishment and looked at Uvogin, who had gone back to his deadpan expression:

"I had no idea you'd done something like that, planting rice seedlings~~~ Tsk!"

Phinks examined Uvogin with a look of novelty, making a "tsk" sound.

Uvogin: "..."

"The food I earned through labor back then, what do you know about it!"

Uvogin retorted impolitely.

"Labor, how strange, for those words to come out of your mouth."

"You bastard!!"

"Alright, stop arguing!!"

Franklin stepped forward to intervene, annoyed, while Shalnark curiously asked, "What food did you earn through labor, Uvogin?"

"Food~~~ it was mochi,"

Uvogin said casually, "We were mainly growing glutinous rice back then, and then we had Mog use the [Mochi Maker] to make mochi."

"Mochi?!!!"

This time, not only Phinks, but even Feitan's head shot up.

"No wonder! I knew it when I saw you that day, you smelled like mochi. I thought there was no way the mochi you stole from us could last that long..."

Phinks suddenly realized, then grinned and rotated his arm:

"Mochi tastes good, doesn't it, Uvogin?!!"

"It tastes good, of course it tastes good!!"

Uvogin grinned and stood up, "It tastes good, of course it tastes good!!"

He clearly adopted a provocative stance, looking eager as he faced Phinks.

"It tastes good, then I'll help you deepen your memory of that taste!!"

Phinks roared and lunged at Uvogin:

"For stealing my mochi that day!!!"

"I've already eaten the mochi anyway, you think I'm afraid of you!!!"

Uvogin fearlessly met him, and the two quickly began to wrestle.

Franklin: "..."

Forget it, I won't stop them. Let them do whatever they want.

Big Brother also gave up with a sigh and sat directly on the ground.

He wasn't going to step in and yell "Stop fighting, both of you!" was he?

Anyway, Feitan had no desire to join the fray. Since the two of them were locked in a one-on-one struggle, let them play it out.

Hmm, as far as Feitan was concerned, one of them stole his Mochi, and the other dragged him into playing the villain.

They were both jerks, and he wouldn't help either of them.

In fact, if the two of them ended up seriously injured, Feitan wouldn't mind benefiting from their conflict.

However, with these two causing such a commotion, the atmosphere in the venue had improved considerably.

"That's more like it. It's better than everyone looking so miserable and full of angst..."

Little Sarasa was quite pleased with her handiwork. Even as Uvogin and Phinks traded blows, they all pretended not to see it.

Then, she continued to listen to Machi talk about Mog.

She was genuinely curious.

And it wasn't just her; Pakunoda, Shira, Franklin, and Shalnark had all gathered around.

Even Feitan had moved closer to them.

About this central figure who had suddenly appeared in Meteor City and brought them all together.

They were truly too curious~~~

And while Uvogin and Phinks and their group returned to the warehouse base, and the two started fighting again.

Here, Mog and Chrollo had also found Father Zhol.

First, they asked him to help find the homes of the children who had been tied up.

Then, under Father Zhol's guidance, they approached Elder Babagra once more.

"You truly haven't disappointed me."

Elder Babagra looked at Mog with a kindly smile.

"I never expected you to deliver such an excellent report in such a short amount of time."

Elder Babagra had already sent people to take in the two van drivers and the man with the tattooed mole.

No one cared about their lives or deaths; their fates were already sealed.

"I am looking forward to the future you envision."

Babagra spoke with a double meaning.

This included his high hopes for Mog and his approval of Mog's previous statement about "[envisioning the future]."

It also implied the support he would offer Mog going forward.

Mog had proven his capabilities through his actions.

Now, it was time for Elder Babagra to show the sincerity of a Meteor City elder.

"You are Chrollo?"

After making his promise to Mog, Elder Babagra turned his gaze to Chrollo, who was standing quietly beside him.

"I've heard about you from both Zhol and Mog."

The smile on Elder Babagra's face faded as he scrutinized the younger boy:

"I want to hear your thoughts and opinions on Meteor City."

With Mog having gone first, Elder Babagra wasn't particularly interested in Chrollo anymore.

However, since he had come along, and had been recommended by both Mog and Father Zhol, He would give the boy a chance~~~

"Yes."

Chrollo nodded and stepped forward.

Originally, he hadn't planned on coming along.

Mog had called out to him and brought him here.

"I know you have considerable ideals and ambitions..."

"And if you wish to achieve them, you will currently need help from Meteor City."

"Even if you haven't realized it yourself, for our Troupe to develop better, you must earn the respect you deserve."

It was because of these words that Chrollo had come with Mog.

And now, facing the opportunity given by Elder Babagra, Chrollo began to showcase himself to his heart's content.

"I believe that this world is currently undergoing a communication revolution..."
