Nosra Manor.

Since Kevin's disappearance, the Manor has become quite secluded, rarely receiving guests.

The majority of the members of the Manor stay within the Manor, and they need to be rotated when they go out.

Especially after the medicine runs out.

The members of the Nosra Manor were essentially freed up, and these spare personnel were mostly focused on Kevin's rescue operation.

And now.

All the members gathered in the Manor's hall.

The once spacious, even somewhat deserted, hall is now packed with people.

Although there were many people, everyone was doing their own thing.

Nion sat cross-legged on the carpet, her upper body resting on the coffee table, a pile of tarot cards in her hand, switching between them with one hand as she waited listlessly.

Even the busiest Light was in the hall, wearing glasses. Compared to his previous demeanor as a gangster boss, which was a mix of ruthlessness and refinement, he now exuded a completely gentle and refined air.

He gives off the air of an intellectual.

He was reviewing the report in his hand.

Red Stone Pharmaceuticals has been established for several years and has already gained a great reputation in the medical field.

Although it cannot compare to the top companies, it is already considered a leader in the medical field.

Every medicine was extremely popular, which kept Light constantly busy.

What might be a tiring job for others, Light did with great pleasure.

Rosana sat behind Nion, placing her hands on Nion's shoulders and pressing down on them every now and then.

His eyes were rather vacant, and his thoughts had long since drifted off to somewhere else.

However, her complexion has recovered considerably compared to the tired look she had a few months ago.

Pairo sat beside him, Notebook on his lap, seemingly looking at some information.

Aside from these core members of the Nosra Manor, there were only peripheral members.

Daznuer, dressed in a black suit, stood behind Light, always looking like a bodyguard.

Squala stood in the corner by the stairs, passionately engaged in a love affair with Nion's maid.

Shalnark leans against a stone pillar in the hall, flipping through a book.

Basho, half-reclining on the second-floor corridor, seemed engrossed in her work, while Goreinu chatted with Kite nearby.

Kite is certainly not a member of the Nosra Manor.

They've gathered here, obviously waiting for something.

Outside the Manor the Gate.

The sound of vehicles could be heard.

Some of the people with keen hearing in the Manor stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears slightly.

Seeing everyone's actions, even Light, who hadn't heard anything, couldn't help but put down the report in his hand.

"Are you back?"

Noticing the situation, Nion immediately stood up and asked impatiently.

However, the hands on her shoulders pulled her back slightly, and she sat down on the sofa.

Rosana leaned against Nion, a pleasant smile on her face.

"So eager?"

Nion blushed slightly and buried her head in Rosana's shoulder, hugging her tightly.

She called out in a very sweet, childish voice, "Auntie~"

"Spray."

Upon hearing the sound Pairo smacked his lips, his face full of disgust.

The sound instantly angered Nion, who jerked her head up from her bosom and glared at Pairo with a furrowed brow.

Why didn't you go?

"Ha?!"

This question immediately ignited Pairo.

"You think it's because I don't want to go? You stupid woman."

As soon as she finished speaking, Rosana turned around, gave Pairo a disapproving look, and said, "You can't swear."

Nion made a face at Pairo.

Pairo curled his lip in disdain; of course, he also wanted to pick up Uncle Kevin.

He wasn't selected because his body was weak, even though he had received treatment and been strengthened by Kevin's medicine.

But in essence, his physical abilities are indeed inferior to Kurapika's.

In addition, his Nen ability was not really suitable for providing backup, so Kurapika was chosen instead.

Kurapika's Nen ability isn't particularly powerful, but it's effective in most situations.

Just then...

The Gate was pushed open.

A group of people walked in.

Nion's eyes lit up, and she suddenly stood up and ran away.

She suddenly found herself in someone's arms.

Kurapika saw Nion rushing towards him and quickly caught her.

"Kurapika ~"

Nion called out coquettishly, hugging Kurapika's waist and looking up at him.

Kurapika looked at Nion, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, his eyes sparkling with joy, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on her.

Kurapika, I miss you so much.

Because of the distance, the round trip took five months, and with the preparations that needed to be made beforehand, Kurapika had been away from home for more than half a year.

He and Nion had never gone this long since they met.

I miss you too.

For Kurapika is usually quite sensitive, to say something like that shows how he feels right now.

"Cough cough!"

Coughing could be heard from inside the hall.

Light watched calmly and spoke up to offer a reminder.

Kurapika, who wasn't exactly thick-skinned to begin with, suddenly remembered where he was and what time it was.

Everyone in the Manor is here!

Everyone was silent for a moment, all staring at the young couple.

Thinking of this, Kurapika's face instantly turned red.

Nion, on the other hand, only blushed slightly; her skin was much thicker than Kurapika's.

Biscuit was engrossed in watching the drama unfold, glared at Light with displeasure.

Honestly, why are you interrupting?

Melusina laughed out loud next to Kevin.

"Oh dear, it's been so long! Don't you miss your older sister at all? From now on, there won't be any dessert for you."

Nion broke free from the embrace, looked at Melusina, and tears streamed down her face as she hugged her back.

"Sister Melusina, you're finally back."

She was well aware of what had happened at the Manor over the past year, and she wasn't stupid; she knew that Kevin and Melusina had encountered a very dangerous situation.

She was also very worried, but she could only make prophecies, and what annoyed her most was that she couldn't see her own prophecies or know their contents.

This meant she had no idea what Kevin and the others were doing on the Dark Continent, and could only worry about them. As for Kurapika and the others, although they were also in the Manor, they had been extremely busy all year, which she had witnessed.

Just now, the joy of reuniting with her lover after being separated filled her mind.

Now that her romantic feelings have subsided and her rationality has returned, the pent-up anxieties have reached their peak, causing her to burst into tears.

Melusina hugged Nion and pinched her cheek.

"Why are you crying? Look at me, I'm perfectly fine."

Kevin simply patted the other person on the head, strode inside, and looked at the group of people who had already gathered around.

The first person to come up and hug was an emotional Light.

It may sound strange, but he was indeed someone who was very worried about Kevin.

Because his interests are completely intertwined with Kevin's, if anything happens to Kevin, he will suffer a devastating blow by unemployment.

Therefore, his concerns, whether from a rational or emotional perspective, are very real.

"It's good that you're alright. I knew it; a capable young person like you wouldn't be deterred by difficulties."

Light wasn't Nen user, so he didn't know much about things like the Dark Continent. He only knew that Kevin had gone to an extremely dangerous place and had returned alive.

Then came Pairo.

Even a young man as strong-willed and resilient as Pairo couldn't help but have tears well up in his eyes at this moment.

Pairo truly regarded this uncle, who was a close friend of his father, as a godfather.

Seeing the other person's expression, Kevin couldn't help but reveal a kind smile that seemed out of place for someone his age.

He hugged the other person and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't cry, you've had a tough time these past few days."

"No, welcome home, Uncle."

He hugged everyone and chatted for a few minutes.

"Let's have a feast to celebrate your safe return."

Night.

Moonlight shone on the lawn behind the Manor.

An open-air banquet is being held here to celebrate Kevin's return.

However, at this point, everyone had completely passed out drunk.

Hehehe!

Biscuit, whose face was slightly flushed but who was not drunk at all, wore a lecherous grin.

She held a camera in her hand and frantically took pictures of the two people in front of her.

Not only her, but Rosana next to her also had a flushed face, clearly a little drunk, and was holding her face and smiling at the two people in front of her.

Even Melusina was sitting here, her face beaming with joy.

And what they saw.

It was the two people lying on the chair, holding hands.

Nion was almost completely drunk, her eyes glazed over, clinging to Kurapika's arm, muttering something under her breath.

"I like it, I like cool-"

Kurapika, his face flushed and swaying from the alcohol, lost his earlier shyness in the face of Nion's bluntness.

Shouting and yelling.

"I like her too! I love Nion the most!"

As he spoke, he seemed to gain momentum.

He simply grabbed Nion with one arm and yelled at the sky.

"Nion is the most lovely person in the world, I want to marry her!!"

"Aaaaaah!"

The three-person couple watching nearby screamed and hugged each other tightly upon hearing this.

"Fool, a complete fool."

Half-drunk, Pairo lay sprawled on the table, listening to Kurapika's words with a look of disgust.

Nion is a treacherous and cunning woman who completely took advantage of her brother's pure and innocent nature.

A hand reached out from the side and tapped his shoulder.

Pairo turned to look at her.

Shalnark remained expressionless, adjusted her glasses, and pointed to the two people shouting and yelling over there.

"Are they a couple now?"

What kind of question is this?

Pairo stared at her in astonishment, his expression contorted in disbelief.

She's a dull woman too.

"Of course."

Shalnark nodded thoughtfully, then pointed to herself.

"If Nion is the cutest, then what about me?"

This question completely stunned Pairo. What kind of question was that?

But looking at Shalnark's earnest and inquisitive expression, it seemed genuine.

He was not unaware of the other party's situation.

"They're flirting. That woman, Nion, is cunning and treacherous. You're ten times more adorable than her."

Their conversation made someone's radar go off.

Biscuit should have been standing in front of Kurapika, was sitting on a stool next to him, listening intently as if nothing was wrong.

Shalnark seemed to be seriously considering what Pairo said, and nodded after a moment's thought.

It seems that's really what they think.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Pairo and said, "Thank you, you too."

What? Me too?

Nerve.

To be honest, although both Pairo and Shalnark are in the Manor and often have work-related interactions,

Generally, it's Pairo who says to do it in Shalnark.

But Pairo rarely talked to Shalnark about other things, because he thought the woman was incredibly dull.

It's completely different from communicating with normal people.

At this moment, Biscuit didn't care about any of that; in her eyes, this was another newly emerging couple.

Woohoo, Nosra Manor is just too wonderful.

Kevin stood up from another table, stretched, and found himself surrounded by a group of people sprawled out.

Everyone wanted to get him drunk, but was his constitution a joke?

"A bunch of brats, trying to get me drunk? Hmph."

At that moment, a soft body pressed against his back and embraced his waist.

Its head nuzzled against his back.

Melusina, who was just watching the play, had somehow arrived here, her face flushed, as if she were drunk.

Are you drunk?

No, I'm not drunk.

Melusina spoke, she pulled Kevin to face her and hugged his waist.

She kept snuggling into Kevin's arms, making soft, coquettish noises.

"You still say you're not drunk."

Kevin sat down and pulled the other person into his arms.

"No means no mua! Hehe!"

He then gave Kevin a hard peck on the cheek, grinning broadly.

She hugged his neck with a loving expression and rubbed her face against his.

But at this moment, her eyes were clear, and she was giving a wink to Biscuit, who had somehow appeared behind the two of them watching the drama unfold.

Biscuit didn't understand at first.

On the contrary, Rosana, who was in the distance, seemed to have realized something.

He stood up and said, "It's late, everyone's drunk. Let's go home and rest. I'll clean up here."

He then gestured to the maid who was waiting nearby.

Biscuit understood instantly.

He quickly got up, walked over to Kevin's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said...

"You should go back and rest too; Melusina is drunk."

"I don't!"

"Mmm, no, no."

Kevin was about to put the other person down, as if coaxing a child.

However, Melusina was very dissatisfied and hugged him tightly, like a child throwing a tantrum.

"I don't want to go down, hold me, I'm a little princess!"

Kevin smiled indulgently.

"Yes, yes, little princess."

"Take her back," Biscuit said, preparing to leave.

Kevin nodded, picked up Melusina, and started walking back.

Biscuit then turned to look at Melusina, who was being held in Kevin's arms and whose head was resting on Kevin's shoulder.

He gave a thumbs-up.

Melusina opened her eyes and blinked at her.

Kevin carried her all the way to Melusina's room.

Throughout the journey, Melusina continued to act coquettishly and say strange things.

Until Melusina was placed on the bed.

Help the other person tidy up and cover them with a blanket.

Kevin was about to leave when he stopped in his tracks— Melusina was gripping his arm tightly.

The door was slammed shut by Xiao Hong.

Melusina opened one eye.

With a sudden tug, Kevin was pulled onto the bed.

He rolled over and pinned Kevin beneath him.

They made eye contact.

"We're going home!"

"Hmm, it seems I'm the prey tonight."
