On April 7, at the teleportation point beneath Rimuru Castle.
Shizuku was doing a final inventory of supplies with Granny Lin Nie, Doon, Ikshampé, and the others.
There was little chance of anything going wrong, but they were taking precautions just in case.
Killua, Gon, Leorio, Hanzo, and Pokkle wandered around curiously.
It was only yesterday that they had learned Gelman wouldn't take them by sea, but by an unusual "road."
After Gelman asked them to keep it secret from outsiders, he told them about the shortcut using the Teleport Lantern.
Since they often traveled back and forth between Greed Island and various places across the Six Continents, Killua and the others had accepted the Teleport Lantern without much difficulty.
They had a vague sense that this ability was beyond the ordinary, but no one questioned Gelman or asked for more details.
That was one of the benefits of having a strong reputation and being well known.
Today was the day they would teleport to the New Continent. Killua and the others had said their goodbyes to Alluka early, pretended they were traveling by sea, and actually returned to the castle's underground level.
They wandered around the underground hall, looking here and there, but their minds were elsewhere. They all wanted to know what the Teleport Lantern looked like.
Its owner, meanwhile, was taking his time browsing through information about all sorts of matters across the Six Continents, collected on Greed Island.
First, there was the Hunter Association.
With Chairman Netero and all the members of the Twelve Zodiacs having gone to the New Continent, Beanpaste Man, the Association's secretary, was now handling all of the Association's affairs.
He was incredibly busy, but with the support of many Hunters, he had still managed to hold the Professional Hunter Exam successfully
