Inside the ship's cabin.

The group sat around the conference table, but the table wasn't very big, so some people stood to the side, leaning against the wall.

But everyone's eyes were focused on one place.

That's on the table.

At that moment, a little girl stood proudly on the conference table.

Three-Tails.

This one has white hair, fox ears on its head, a chubby face, and a pair of big eyes.

The child, about the height of a five or six-year-old, stood with his hands on his hips, three fluffy fox tails swaying behind him.

Under the scrutiny of the crowd.

The Three-Tails was smug, its head held high, looking very proud.

Qiduo reached out and touched the tail that swept in front of her.

The Three-Tails sensed this and deliberately let its tail fall into her hand.

"It's so fluffy," Qiduo murmured, touching it. It felt even better than when it was still a fox.

Koto then reached up and lifted her ear, which was covered by white hair.

A pair of tiny human ears, chubby and quite cute.

Then he looked at the pair of fox ears on his head.

Are those ears just for decoration?

Koto couldn't help but ask.

No, that's not true! This ear can hear too.

The Three-Tails and two fox ears swayed slightly in control.

In other words, she now has four usable ears, which is clearly different from humans in terms of physiological structure.

Not to mention the tail that follows.

Rukira stood by the door, hands on his hips, looking at the other person.

This situation made him think of his younger sister.

They were among the first beings to use the Cocoon of Rebirth.

The purpose is to restore them to a human state.

But the only ones who still retain inhuman characteristics are him and his sister.

He kept it because he was one of the few beings who possessed a pair of wings, and having a pair of wings was definitely a good thing for him.

The hatching of the Chimeric Ant allowed him to grow directly from a ten-year-old boy into a mature individual, thus making him more mature in his thinking.

His sister was the same.

But his sister was different from him; she was just an ordinary Soldier Ant.

Although their intelligence has also been stretched, they still retain their original childlike innocence.

In this situation, when reverting to human form, the will is not strong enough, and some non-human characteristics are retained.

Children are easily influenced by external factors and their environment.

The Three-Tails is very likely to be the same.

After all, the Three-Tails' aesthetic sense was different from that of humans at the time; perhaps it thought that having ears and a tail also made one human.

For a Beasts, ears are very important. The tail may not be noticed at all, but it is always there and is carried along instinctively.

"Okay, come down now."

Melusina smiled and picked up the Three-Tails fox, letting her sit in her lap, resting her chin on her head, completely smitten.

"Is this what it means to be a daughter? You like her so much."

Biscuit chimed in from the side.

Melusina looked at her and nodded vigorously. "The Three-Tails is my daughter."

"----Okay, you're right to calculate it that way."

Biscuit suddenly realized that the Three-Tails' human genes were provided by Kevin and Melusina.

If you say they are their daughter, then in some ways that's true.

If you get a blood test now, you might actually be able to find out if you're related by blood.

"Right, Three-Tails, call her Mom."

"Mom." Three-Tails readily agreed.

"My sweet baby."

As he spoke, he took out a lollipop that had just been made from his pocket.

Three-Tails took it, put it in her mouth, and revealed an extremely sweet smile.

"Wow! This tastes delicious. Is this supposed to be sweet?"

For the first time, the Three-Tails tasted flavor, or rather, experienced human taste.

It's no longer a craving for food's energy, but a craving for its deliciousness.

"Yes, this is sweet."

Judging from the Three-Tails' expression, she was even happier to have become human.

Among the things that fueled the Three-Tails' desire for humans, besides the envy it felt while spending time with Kevin and the others, it was something it longed to become.

Being able to appreciate the deliciousness of food is a very important point.

After all, there are three chefs in the team.

Pastry chef Melusina.

Barbecue and meat master Buhaci.

Men Qi, a true master chef with expertise in all fields.

Men Qi is also highly innovative and always comes up with new ideas.

These three can be said to represent the pinnacle of food in the human world.

Every time the Three-Tails sees others enjoying delicious food while it can't feel that same enjoyment, it gets very anxious.

Indeed, eating is the driving force of life.

This longing even gave the Three-Tails a genuine and unwavering desire for humanity, allowing it to almost become human within the Cocoon of Rebirth.

Kevin shook his head helplessly beside him.

Biscuit looked at him and asked curiously, "So you can now transform non-human life forms into humans?"

Everyone was very curious about this.

However, Kevin shook his head.

"It's not that easy. After spending so much time together, you all know that the Three-Tails genuinely wants to become human. In addition, she has hardly ever encountered anyone of her own kind since birth, so she doesn't have much attachment to or concept of her own appearance or race."

Before meeting Kevin, her daily routine consisted of finding food, stealing food, and then eating it.

Despite possessing great intelligence, he was constantly struggling to survive.

After all, in terms of combat strength, the Three-Tails is truly at the bottom of the Dark Continent.

Therefore, they are easily influenced by Kevin and his friends' environment and habits.

How comfortable!

After all, the Three-Tails of the past didn't have any personality or anything like that, let alone a view of the world.

"The Three-Tails had enough willpower to become human, and with my assistance, they were able to succeed."

"If it were any other non-human creature wanting to transform into a human, without a strong enough will, it would only become a monster."

In the end, perhaps only one kind of monster will appear, a hybrid of wild beasts and humans.

That would be a losing proposition.

Qiduo adjusted her glasses and nodded in agreement. "Then it certainly needs to be used with caution."

Therefore, at this stage, Kevin's Cocoon of Rebirth is still being used as a safety net for medical treatment.

As long as it's not an absolute, devastating blow to the soul.

Damage manifested in the physical body can be repaired through the Cocoon of Rebirth.

It temporarily serves as a medical regeneration ward.

"Let me hug you?"

Biscuit suddenly spoke.

Three-Tails didn't mind and was carried away by Biscuit.

Biscuit just stared intently at her.

"What's wrong?"

Three-Tails felt Biscuit's gaze, looked up at her, and seemed somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, she is indeed cute." Biscuit nodded, then asked seriously, "Do you still have your abilities?"

"Ability?"

Three-Tails understood, frowned, and carefully sniffed the air with her little nose.

His expression then turned terrified.

"He's gone! Boss, he's gone!"

With a leap, Three-Tails landed in Kevin's arms, tears streaming down her face.

Tears welled up in her eyes; she looked extremely pitiful.

"I can't smell it anymore! I can't smell it anymore!"

The Three-Tails appeared extremely fearful.

Although she is human, she hasn't completely forgotten her fox-like habits.

This is the foundation of her livelihood.

To some extent, Kevin also needs this ability from the other party.

In Three-Tails's view, this was the guarantee of her safety.

Kevin chuckled and patted her head, seemingly unconcerned.

"Don't be afraid, it's alright. If you're gone, you're gone. You're human now, and we won't abandon you. You're one of us."

He patted the Three-Tails fox's head to comfort it.

Kevin's words hit the bullseye. Three-Tails wiped away her tears and asked with wide eyes.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, look how alike we are."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved it, and the Three-Tails also stretched out its hand and waved it.

Three-Tails was simple-minded enough to agree with whatever Kevin said, nodding and immediately feeling relieved.

"He really acts like a little kid," Pairo remarked from the side.

Emotions come quickly and go quickly.

Kevin knew this from the very beginning.

There's no such thing as a free Beasts.

Like Rukira, he retained his wings in order to preserve his ability to fly as Chimeric Ant.

For example, the Chimeric Ant Bison was among the strongest Chimeric Ant of its time.

After transforming into a human, their physical constitution became ordinary, but they still maintained an advantage due to their Nen ability.

But it definitely doesn't have the overwhelming power it once did.

In other words, the advantages of Chimeric Ant are greatly reduced, or even disappear completely. The reason they are still powerful is simply because their life essence remains strong enough.

Furthermore, it had already learned Nen ability when it was still Chimera Ant.

If Chimera Ant didn't learn Nen ability, but became very powerful using its Chimera Ant qualities and abilities, and then transformed into a human, it would suddenly become weak.

Just like the Three-Tails now, her special ability is racial, not a true Nen ability.

It's gone now.

These are all necessary losses.

"Learn Nen ability with me. Now that you've Initiation, based on your past habits and abilities, it's very likely that you'll regain your Nen abilities."

Biscuit looked at the Three-Tails and said directly.

This is based on Biscuit's understanding of the nature of Nen ability, so the outcome shouldn't be too different.

"Really?"

Three-Tails turned around and asked.

"Trust her. Maybe your abilities will become more flexible, and you'll become very capable yourself, then you won't have to worry."

Upon hearing this, the Three-Tails clenched its fist and grunted twice.

Morel, wearing sunglasses, suppressed his urge to complain.

I don't know what they're worried about.

The little fox transformed into a human, but its physique and mental capacity remained unchanged.

Nen ability something that a person will naturally possess once they have a human will and soul, while simple Nen Aura comes more from physical attributes.

Transforming from a fox into a human involves certain losses.

The problem is that when the Three-Tails Fox was a fox, its Nen power was already around 200,000, but its fighting strength was not strong.

We're still at the 200,000 level.

This is just the energy emitted by the body itself; it hasn't fully developed its Nen ability yet.

Once it erupts, there will only be more, directly reaching their current level.

He looks like a five or six-year-old child, but he has already surpassed most Nen user.

I don't know what she's worried about.

Those who can learn human Nen ability will only become more powerful.

Chimeric Ant are the best proof of this.

Attributes of Beasts, abilities of humans.

It's a monstrous combination.

Anything combined with humans makes a great combination.

Only humans are not.

That's all.

A lively little girl joined the boat, so lively that she became a headache.

The Three-Tails transformed into a human and became incredibly curious about everything about humans.

It's like a powerful, lively, and energetic baby.

It was a nightmare.

So much so that even Gon and Qi had to avoid them.

There was nothing they could do; they were only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Although they are no longer young, they are the youngest in a group where most people are around thirty years old.

Perhaps it's because the childlike nature is beginning to manifest within the Three-Tails.

She started to enjoy playing with younger children.

A generation gap has inexplicably appeared.

When he was still a little fox, Qi liked to teach the other person all sorts of things, but now that she's a little girl, he doesn't dare to anymore.

I kept pestering him to play, and my head was about to explode.

Even Gon was finding it hard to stand, which shows how annoying the Three-Tails was.

Dusk.

Kevin sat in the Pharmaceutical Room.

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

Three-Tails Beast ran in carrying a thick book and jumped into Kevin's arms.

"What's wrong?"

Kevin hugged the other person and asked, glancing at the book the other person was holding.

New Century Chronicle?

"Boss, tell me a story."

"Ah?"

Kevin was stunned.

What the hell?

"Tell a story? A bedtime story? Who tells bedtime stories about the Dark Continent?"

Kevin was speechless and didn't know how to respond.

"Daddy, please!"

The Three-Tails opened its eyes wide, its face pleading.

Those big, bright eyes are so expressive.

Even the way they address each other has changed.

Kevin didn't know how to refuse.

She looks so much like his daughter.

It used his and Melusina's genes, and when the Three-Tails Beast grew into an adult, its appearance must have been based on Kevin and Melusina, as they both bear a striking resemblance.

Who taught you? Who taught you?

Who taught her to act so coquettishly?

That's terrible.

Reluctantly, he pulled the book from the other person's pocket and placed it aside.

"This is quite interesting. Let me tell you some other stories instead."

I recalled some fairy tales that I knew.

Kevin then held the Three-Tails in his arms and began telling fairy tales.

An experience unlike any I've ever had before.

As they talked, the Three-Tails actually fell asleep inside Kevin's bed.

Once it becomes human, it is no longer the fox it once was.

Some of the characteristics and behaviors of children begin to appear in the other person.

Looking at the little girl with a delicate figure.

Just like my daughter—isn't that nice?

Kevin smiled, then carried the other person out of the Pharmaceutical Room.

At night.

The Three-Tails was put to sleep in the next room.

Perhaps because I haven't slept much since becoming a human, this time, the characteristics of a human began to emerge; I slept very soundly, like a baby.

Kevin lay on the bed, with golden threads floating in the air before him, controlled by him.

"Has the usage of 'kang' been found yet?"

Melusina, leaning on Kevin's shoulder, asked.

Kevin shook his head.

Faced with Kevin's predicament, Melusina currently has no solution.

Her tea party should demonstrate her ability to resolve troubles, which requires Melusina to have a certain level of knowledge.

Just like if Kevin gets stuck in a bottleneck when making medicine, the reason Melusina can help is because she knows the characteristics and properties of all the medicinal materials Kevin.

A certain amount of information is needed to find a solution to a problem.

Let's have a tea party.

"Melusina thought for a moment and said."

Although Lan may not have a solution, let's give it a try; who knows?

The main problem is that there are really no other good solutions now, so we're just trying anything as a last resort.

Kevin paused for a moment, then nodded. There was no harm in trying it out.

Melusina went outside and brought in some tea and snacks.

The two sat at the table and began a small tea party.

The power of thought is activated.

Kevin began to share his troubles during the tea party.

Melusina listened as she sipped her tea.

Until the tea party was over.

Melusina took a deep breath.

"Julan really has a way."

"Real?"

Through a series of experiments, Kang Ning found a solution in Julan, which demonstrated the usefulness of the golden thread in his hand, or rather, that it connected with the known Ren Xi.

Melusina dragged Kevin directly to the Pharmaceutical Room and began rummaging through Kevin's treasure chest.

Kevin's treasure chest contains valuable items, but they are not particularly useful under certain circumstances.

[The Skill Hunter]

[Kairos]

[Nen Sand]

[Unmanned Stone]

[Space Orb]

Looking at the five nutritious dishes laid out in front of him, Kevin fell silent.

She looked at Melusina beside her.

Melusina simply shrugged, indicating that she didn't know either.

Nen ability, isn't that amazing?

Kevin Kang Ning will be among these people at the meeting.

The first book goes without saying, and the second, the clock with the eye embedded in it, is actually a very powerful Nen tool, but it's just too useless in the Dark Continent.

In a human society, this would be a Nen tool weapon worthy of being considered a national treasure.

Nen Sand, it doesn't need much introduction, it's one of the most popular materials right now, and everyone uses it.

The Unmanned Stone is the absolute source of power, with a power storage capacity that surpasses all expectations, and its output is also very stable.

And then there's the final Space Orb, the only S-grade material.

There were no materials available for making medicine; they were only used to create space equipment.

All five of these Renxi have one characteristic.

Nen tool).

"So, these golden threads are used by Renxi to create Nen tool?"

"There's another clue—a dream."

"Melusina said."
