Return X Reunion

On the street outside the restaurant.

Kevin and Kurapika walked side by side.

As Kevin walked, he said, "With your emotions so easily agitated, how can anyone feel at ease letting you travel alone?"

He had barely spoken when he realized it was inappropriate. After a moment's thought, he added, "Of course, it would be abnormal not to be emotional after experiencing something like this. I completely understand."

Kevin noticed that Kurapika was glaring at him, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't get so worked up. If I let you speak freely, there will probably be more trouble."

"But you're wearing colored contact lenses, that's good. Young people are quick to accept new things."

Kurapika continued to stare straight at Kevin, without uttering a sound.

Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to talk.

"Don't look at me like that. What I just gave you was a [Voice Silencer]. It will make you unable to speak temporarily, but there are no side effects."

"The effects of the medicine only last for fifteen minutes. I believe you can calm down within those fifteen minutes."

After saying that, Kevin stopped looking at Kurapika and led him forward, explaining in detail, "I know Mito. I happened to meet him outside when the crisis broke out, which is how I escaped the disaster."

"But when the enemy was slaughtering your people, we rushed back. The enemy was very strong, and if we rashly exposed ourselves, we would only add more corpses to the list, so we could only try to save people."

"There were only two Ground Bird at the time, so they could only save two people. In the end, the enemy still caught up, and Mito sacrificed his life to stop them."

Upon hearing this, Kurapika slowly lowered his head.

Seeing this, Kevin gently patted his shoulder.

"Sadness and anger are human nature, and wanting revenge is understandable, but you must never let your emotions control you, otherwise you have no right to talk about revenge."

After a brief pause, Kevin revealed the information Kurapika most desperately wanted to know. "The two people we saved are your mother and Mito's son, Pairo."

Upon learning of the two's whereabouts, Kurapika looked at Kevin with great excitement.

He never imagined that Kevin would save his own mother and best friend.

Overwhelmed with excitement, he gripped Kevin's hand tightly and shook it vigorously up and down.

Unable to speak for the time being, this was the only way he could express his emotions.

At this moment, Kurapika could no longer hold back his tears, which streamed down his cheeks even in front of strangers.

This is the joy that surges forth after extreme sorrow.

Kevin scratched his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "I really don't know how to comfort a crying child."

Kurapika looks mature, like a little adult, but he's only thirteen years old.

He's just a child.

Inside the main hall of the Nosra Family Manor.

Rosana paced back and forth in the hall, a state she had been in for quite some time.

Everyone in the hall understood how she felt, so no one offered any words of comfort.

Even Pairo, who is usually calmer than his peers, was standing by the fireplace, his eyes fixed on the Gate.

Light sat on the sofa, a cigar dangling from his lips, seemingly engrossed in his work, but his gaze kept drifting towards the Gate, clearly indicating that he was not at peace with himself.

Only his daughter Nion, was sitting on the carpet playing, humming a song softly.

At that moment, Light couldn't help but recall his conversation with Kevin on the Airship that day.

The question Kevin asked at the time made him feel a chill run down his spine, and he was genuinely a little alarmed.

Fortunately, Kevin seemed very understanding. After asking the question, he said that his question was a bit presumptuous and did not force Kevin to answer.

But Light knew in his heart that some of his unusual attitudes and behaviors had aroused Kevin's suspicion.

And today, another prophecy is about to be fulfilled.

With a creak, the Gate was slowly pushed open.

The first thing that caught everyone's eye was Kevin's figure, followed by Kurapika who walked in behind him.

"Mom!" Kurapika cried out, his emotions spiraling out of control once again.

Kurapika!

Rosana was already in tears as she ran towards her son.

The mother and son called out to each other, embracing tightly, their voices trembling with tears as they spoke of their longing.

Pairo also stepped forward, and seeing the reunited mother and child, and thinking of his friend's safe return, tears involuntarily streamed down his face.

Kevin stood beside Pairo, gently patting his shoulder and saying, "I thought you wouldn't cry."

Pairo didn't respond, but just gripped Kevin's clothes tightly.

Nion cautiously approached her father and whispered in his ear, "Dad, who is that brother? Aunt Rosana looks both happy and sad."

That's her child; she's finally found her son.

"Were they separated before? Poor thing, Nion doesn't want to be separated from her dad."

Perhaps moved by the scene, Nion hugged Light's shoulders tightly, nestling herself in his arms.

Hearing his daughter's words, Light smiled lovingly, gently stroked her hair, and nodded, saying, "

Okay, Daddy definitely won't separate from Nion.

After saying that, Light turned his gaze to Kurapika.

He had never met Kurapika before and was unaware of the child's original state.

But at this moment, he clearly sensed that Kurapika and Pairo were different.

Perhaps because his mother was still alive, Kurapika was not like Pairo, who was overwhelmed by hatred and gloom and fell into a depressed mood.

"Pigeon"?

Although I don't know much about this child's personality yet, this description seems quite accurate based on the current situation.

Thinking of this, Light stood up with Nion in his arms, nodded slightly to Kevin, and quietly left the hall, not wanting to disturb everyone's gathering.

It took them a while after they left before the mother and son gradually calmed down.

"Pairo, it's so good that you're safe and sound too."

Kurapika then looked at Pairo and gave him a tight hug.

Although it might seem despicable to think that way, the people who were saved were his mother and his best friend Pairo.

That's wonderful.

He didn't mention Mito, because he knew now was not the time to discuss it.

"Thanks to Dad and Uncle Kevin," Pairo said.

Upon hearing Pairo's address, Kevin couldn't help but rub his temples, feeling rather helpless.

I'm only twenty-two years old, in the prime of my youth, how come I'm being called "uncle"?

Although he and Pairo's father were friends and had a good relationship, Pairo was already thirteen years old, and the two were less than ten years apart in age.

But upon closer reflection, this form of address doesn't seem wrong.

"Thank you, Uncle Kevin, I'm so grateful. I don't know how to repay your kindness," Kurapika said emotionally.

Although he hadn't fully grasped the ins and outs of the matter, he understood that Kevin must have played a crucial role in the whole affair.

If it weren't for Kevin, they probably wouldn't have been able to save even the two remaining members of their tribe.

This must have been a life-threatening rescue operation.

"Alright, alright, that's enough with the thanks. I'm sure you all have a lot to say, so I won't bother you any longer."

Let's discuss the follow-up plans properly tomorrow.

After Kevin finished speaking, he waved and turned to leave the hall.
