The Zoldyck Family in All Its Variety × Ging's Strange Condition
God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
God didn't say where the light came from or where it went... But Roy knew that no matter what God said, the sun rose in the east and set in the west, day after day, month after month, year after year, and no matter what kind of bird god spoke, it blazed its light freely, bringing salvation to the world.
The next day, at four in the morning.
The grandfather clock in the corner chimed.
Roy leaves the Demon Slayer world, opens his eyes, and returns to the Hunter world.
He rolled out of bed, got dressed, and went for his morning run as usual. Leaving the Zoldyck Family Ancient Castle, he walked down the mountain path, and as he traversed the forest, he heard the whistling of blades. He glanced over...
Faintly visible, a figure could be seen by the pool deep in the mountains, sporting a thick beard and gold-rimmed glasses, meticulously practicing "Water Breathing" with a knife in both hands... It was Gotoh.
With a smile on her lips, she didn't disturb him, and continued running downhill...
In a flash, they arrived at the mountain pass and saw a white-haired, Pig-Head Sun-Earring Boy swelling, which had just subsided yesterday, had swollen back up again. Unable to resist, the author used [Circle] to eavesdrop on the Sun-Earring Boy's thoughts... Kastro was confused...
The Sun-Earring Boy, still not convinced, challenged Gotoh to a duel yesterday, but ended up getting beaten even worse than the day before!
He couldn't understand why someone could suddenly become stronger... Not only did their Nen Qi recovery speed increase, but the coins they flicked were also more agile than before, and their endurance was also enhanced... This fully demonstrated the blessing and change that "Water Breathing" brought to a person.
Humans cannot imagine things beyond their comprehension, so let the Sun-Earring Boy remain confused for a while longer.
There are distinctions based on closeness or distance.
Roy saw potential in Kastro and planned to nurture him for a while until Gotoh fully mastered "Water Breathing" and became stronger. Then, it wouldn't be too late to pluck this delicious fruit.
My mind raced... getting closer...
Upon hearing footsteps, Kastro respectfully greeted, "Young Master."
Roy brushed past Sun-Earring Boy Sun-Earring Boy's shoulder, leaving behind a silhouette that, while not particularly tall, was exceptionally upright... Thinking back, he was once an opponent who could hold his own in the Heavens Arena, but now he couldn't even defeat Roy's personal butler. And yesterday, he even heard...
The meteorite that crashed into Kukuroo Mountain was actually the work of the Young Master. Kastro felt a complex mix of emotions, like a jumbled mess of flavors that had been kicked over—sour, spicy, sweet, and bitter all at once... Frustrated, he went to find Gotoh again, but it turned out to be worse than not looking at all!
He came back with a huge Pig-Head on his head again, even worse off than the day before yesterday, and even more depressed!
Fortunately, the Sun-Earring Boy could clearly feel that he was improving, and at a faster pace than in the Heavens Arena, which gave him some psychological comfort and prevented him from becoming depressed.
"Tap... tap..."
In the blink of an eye, Roy disappeared from Kastro's sight.
He maintained a steady pace, neither too fast nor too slow, each step as if measured with a ruler, demonstrating a level of mastery over the finer details of his body.
Soon, they emerged from the mountain path and arrived at the Testing Gate.
From afar, I saw a middle-aged man with Kurajing on how to train her muscle activation.
The girl, with her blonde hair tied in a single ponytail, adjusted her stance, steps, and breathing with practiced ease. At first, she was a little clumsy, but as she gradually adapted, she seemed to understand something. She slapped the Testing Gate with her palm... The towering gate didn't budge, but it shook Kurajing so much that she grimaced and jumped up and down, clutching her little arms.
"Oh dear... you're in such a hurry..." Seeing this Zee was both amused and annoyed. He looked up and suddenly saw Roy running over. He pulled Kurajing aside, took off his hat, and bowed to him, saying, "Young Master, good morning."
"Hmm." Roy glanced at Kurajing.
The girl covered her hand, bit her lower lip, and bowed to him with a pained expression, looking pitiful yet stubborn, clearly very concerned about whether she could pass the butler's test.
"Haste makes waste."
With that simple sentence, Roy turned and left, heading back along the mountain path. Kurajing, then took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, come again..."
Zee shook his head... It's true what they say, like master, like servant. The Zoldyck family is notoriously stubborn, and so are their stewards—each one more stubborn than the last...
The same thing happened with Kastro before, and it's the same with this girl in front of me... These newcomers these days, each one more difficult than the last...
Zee put on his hat, he suddenly thought of his younger self, who seemed to have looked just as wretched, and chuckled to himself...
"Uncle, you seem quite pleased to see me get the short end of the stick..."
"Haha... no, I'm happy when you don't get the short end of the stick..."
Several distant laughs caught up with Roy's footsteps and reached his ears... The Sun-Earring Boy, wearing earrings of the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers, was enjoying a rare and beautiful morning. With a smile on his lips, he returned to his bedroom, went into the shower, and while taking a quick shower, began to add points.
Last night I killed a few little ghosts and cleared out more than 20 points of "Life Energy" in one go.
Having gotten used to the pain, when Roy came out of the shower again, his physique hadn't Transformation much; instead, his muscles were more toned and defined, with more prominent lines.
Despite the freezing weather, he sat shirtless at the dining table, flipping through the <Record of the Western Continent> to search for information related to "Faith," and began looking for the two "Power of Faith" points that had appeared on his panel, wondering how to use them...
After finishing his morning exercise, Gotoh pushed the food cart in on time, serving Roy his meal while reporting an important message.
"The bounty that the Young Master posted on the Hunter website has been accepted."
"Who?" Roy asked, taking a bite of his sandwich and looking up.
Gotoh pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. "It's a woman named Elena."
She said she had seen a creature called an "Elephant Tapir" in a secret realm, which could make things disappear with a flick of its trunk, and it was suspected to be the "anti -Conjuration" Magic Beast the Young Master was looking for.
Roy slurped down the last bite of his sandwich with milk, listening Elena... or rather, to Jin!
Based on the current timeline, he should have already arrived on Greed Island and begun developing the Game "Greed Island" using the entire island as a blueprint.
Did the other party say whether there was a time or not?
After finishing his breakfast, Roy slowly pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth.
Gotoh said, "This is the strange place."
The young butler narrowed his eyes and said, "She said to tell the Young Master to wait for a letter, and..."
Gotoh looked at Roy cautiously. "Before that, she wants the Young Master to agree to one condition."
What are the conditions?
She said she wanted to see what the Young Master's skills were like.
"Oh." Roy glanced at him sideways. "What do you think?"
Gotoh: "She wants Young Master to accompany her on her prison break!"
