Scarlet Eyes × Kurapika

A person's race, talents, Bloodline are often expressed in the most direct way, such as appearance.

The idea that only silver-haired people can inherit the Zoldyck is not an exaggeration...

Maha noticed Roy's hair color, Zeno, Silva, and Illumi also noticed the Sun-Earring Boy's unusual behavior at the same time. Roy, however, seemed to be the last to know, reaching out to pick up a strand of hair and playing with it in front of his eyes.

The dazzling gold at the end was like the moment he used his Swordsmanship to reach LV5, penetrating the sun and breaking through the Photosphere, witnessing the endless light and heat, and in a moment of contemplation, vaguely sensing...

As he grows stronger and progresses further on the path of [Faith], he may break or be about to break more and more "genetic limitations."

It's just hair color now, but there might be other things in the future.

Roy thought of the [Demon Eye] that his grandfather, Jager, had modified by possessing him, and he thought of [God]. He then glanced at the back of his hand, wondering if he was seeing things or if the intense light from the solar halo was creating an illusion.

The "hands" on the back of his hand, which resembled a clock counting down the days of his life, seemed to have slowed down a bit...

The sequence jumps from "September 13, 7 years, 13:33:45" to "September 13, 7 years, 13:33:44," an interval that should only take one second, but it took a full two seconds to complete. Does this mean...?

Is the unknown being residing on the Dark Continent now gradually weakening its "watchful gaze" or "influence" on me?

Roy's eyes flashed, a faint smile curving his lips. He turned to Zeno and Illumi and smiled, saying, "It's just hair color, don't worry about it." He then flashed forward, boarding the carriage. Before Zeno and Illumi could react, he grasped the crimson-gold glass rope and whispered, "Little Gold, let's go." "Caw~ Oh~" The golden crow spread its wings, letting out a cry...

With a sudden slap to the ground, a gale arose, lifting the Sun Chariot slowly into the sky. In a single glance, it soared towards the heavens alongside Little Gold, instantly pulling Roy along as they transformed into a beam of light, tearing through the darkness, carrying with them endless vastness and mystery, rapidly becoming a bright point of light on the horizon. "Whoosh~" A faint lingering breeze stirred Zeno and Illumi's white/black hair...

The grandfather and grandson, both Zoldyck, looked up at the sky and remained silent for a moment; neither of them spoke.

After a while, a gaunt figure emerged slowly from the Ancient Castle, hands behind his back. Maha chuckled and said, "That brat's pretty quick. Didn't even know to give this old man a ride."

Zenoelmi finally came to their senses. One seemed lost in thought, while the other glanced at Maha and asked, "Grandpa, did our ancestors have golden hair?"

Zeno's eyes gleamed.

Illumi into those empty eyes...

The old man stopped, his few remaining stubborn strands of hair on his bald head swaying in the wind, and said softly, "No."

"And what about you before, Grandpa?"

I've always had silver hair.

Zeno frowned, the inscription on his chest reading "One Kill A Day, Active Career" swaying in the wind, and fell silent...

The Zoldyck has always only had "silver hair" and "black hair," but now... there are signs that they're turning blonde.

Zeno looked up again at the fading light on the horizon. The Sun-Earring Boy's casual remark, "Just hair color," was clearly not that simple! "He's special," Illumi suddenly spoke up.

The foolish little boy, his eyes fixed on the image of Roy's car disappearing into the wind with a halo around the sun, repeated absentmindedly, "I've always known he's special." The Sun-Earring Boy turned to look at Zeno and Maha, "None of you can compare to him."

Maha looked up at the sky, his old face, covered with wrinkles and weathered by time, expressionless and unresponsive, leaving one wondering what he was thinking.

Zeno, his white hair swaying wildly, neither agreed nor disagreed, but merely glanced sideways at Illumi and said leisurely, "Illumi, don't always focus on others; sometimes remember to pay attention to yourself."

Zeno, with a meaningful look, put his hands behind his back as Maha spoke, paused, and then suddenly added, "Don't let it turn out that we can't even beat Gotoh, and we'll just become a laughingstock."

"You were eavesdropping on our conversation?!" Illumi eyes narrowed slightly, his long, smooth black hair falling behind his head, slightly sticking up as if it were bristling. However,

Zeno turned away from him, saying only, "The ear is right here; what business is it of mine if it wants to eavesdrop?"

Illumi:""

He stared intently at Zeno for a moment, then turned his head to glance at the Butler Villa halfway up the mountain, and calmly said, "Don't worry, I won't lose," never, never will.

"Is that so?" Zeno glanced abruptly at the bedroom on the second floor of the Ancient Castle. He remembered that Silva had once said something similar to him. In terms of confidence, father and son seemed to have inherited the same trait... just like he and Silva had once, and in the end...

I just don't know if this is "confidence" or "arrogance"...

"The soft patter of water..." A series of gentle splashes broke the tranquility of the moment.

Before Daybreak, Maha unzipped his pants and started fertilizing the lawn. Wisps of steam rose, and amidst the summer heat, many bubbles appeared, clearly indicating... the old man had been suffering from a lot of internal heat lately...

"Hehehe... Why are you all looking at me?" After walking his birds under the moonlight, the old man shook himself, pulled up his pants, turned around, and gave Zeno and Illumi a flick on the forehead each. "Study hard. When you can be as carefree as this old man, I can die in peace."

Two muffled thuds, like two drumsticks striking...

As the blow Zeno and Illumi flying from their skulls, they were stunned, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment.

The old man and the young man each clutched their heads, then glanced instinctively at Maha...

Maha stepped out and disappeared into the garden, leaving only a puddle of steaming urine lying on the ground, causing Zeno and Illumi in the garden to stand silently facing each other.

"Follow your heart. Follow your heart, but who can truly follow their heart?"

"Chang~" At five o'clock in the morning, the grandfather clock struck the hour...

A misty aura filled the dimly lit room. Betty Zoldyck, with Zoldyck ponytail just like in her youth, emerged from Maha's body and glared at him, saying, "You're too harsh on the kids. Not everyone can 'do whatever they want,' except you and Jager." "No, there's also... Roy," Maha reclined in the rocking chair, reached out and pulled Betty close, wrapping his arm around her waist, saying, "Didn't you ask me what I saw?"

"It just occurred to me now, Roy might have undergone a rare 'spiritual transformation.' Perhaps it's related to the [object of his Visualization], perhaps..." Old Maha narrowed his eyes, his gaze profound, and said, "It's also related to who he met and what happened to him." Betty Zoldyck asked curiously, "He's right here at home, right under our noses, what kind of people could he have met?"

Maha smiled without saying a word, simply rocking his rocking chair and remarking, "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. The amazing thing about dreams is that you can never predict what will happen..."

"A dream?" Betty Zoldyck frowned, pondering the words. She recalled that her first encounter with Roy had been in a dream, and vaguely sensed a deeper meaning in Maha's words.

She stared into the night sky through the window with her beautiful lake-blue eyes.

At five o'clock in the morning on a summer day, a ray of dawn pierced the sky, followed by... a patch of rosy light, painting the horizon with a reddish hue... Slowly, it seemed as if a Sun Chariot could be seen, turning a corner, and gently driving back from the horizon, like...

The rising sun, eager to leap above the horizon at any moment!

"Caw~ Caw~" The cawing of crows grew closer... On the horizon, Roy got into the Sun Chariot, took a short drive with Little Gold, tested the [Chariot Driving]... and then hurriedly returned. The round trip of several dozen kilometers seemed to happen in an instant.

Not only was it "fast," it was also "stable," at least compared to the airships he usually rode in, and...

The Tsubone, who transformed into various means of transportation through the "Yamato Nadeshiko Seven Metamorphoses," was much stronger.

The only drawback is...

The rate at which his "Nen Qi" was being consumed was rather fast. Of course, this was also related to his current "spirit capacity" and the fact that Little Gold was still in its "infancy" and had not yet truly grown into a real "Three-Legged Golden Crow".

"Master, I'm tired."

"Caw~ Caw~" Another crow cawed.

Little Gold flapped its wings, panting heavily, and sweat visibly began to bead on its skin.

The Sun Chariot, accompanied by a halo, rolled past a cloud, its speed noticeably slowing down.

Roy gave it a helpless yet amused glare, then simply pulled the reins and began to descend. "Whoosh~" A hazy solar halo slowly spread, radiating across the entire Kukuroo Mountain. The closer they got to the ground, the more they could feel the light and heat contained within this "solar halo."

It's getting closer.

Three thousand meters

Two kilometers

One kilometer

500 meters

Until,

Touching the ground,

It came to a steady stop in front of the Butler Villa.

Roy loosened the reins, letting the Sun Chariot disappear into the void. He slowly got off the chariot, which had shrunk to a small Little Gold, and landed on the faces of Tsubone, Kurajing, and the others.

"I'm going to see the Gotoh." The Sun-Earring Boy smiled and exhaled, his beautiful silver hair with gilded ends, flowing lazily down his back as he rode the Sun Chariot and moon across the sky.

Tsubone placed his right hand on his chest and immediately led Kurajing and other stewards to bow to him.

Good morning, Young Master.

"I'll take you there."

"No need," Roy said, raising his hand slightly. His [Wind Breathing] technique conjured several cool breezes, helping each of them to their feet. He then added gently, "I know where he is. You can all go about your own business."

Tsubone lowered his head slightly and respectfully replied, "Yes."

Another glance, a fleeting look out of the corner of his eye, fell on Little Gold, who was perched atop Roy's head, nodding wearily and beginning to drift off to sleep. A complex mix of emotions welled up within him, but it all happened in an instant...

This gave rise to a sense of crisis, a feeling of being "replaced"!

Once the Young Master has a means of transportation, will he still need me?

Tsubone sighed softly, then straightened up. He watched as Kurajing, her blonde hair tied in a high ponytail, approached with Roy, whispering something to him. For no apparent reason, another wave of breathtaking beauty washed over him...

Fortunately, the Young Master is broad-minded and not one of those narrow-minded people. The sordid things from the past have long since faded with time, and he seems to have no intention of pursuing them further.

This is undoubtedly a fortunate thing for me.

"Young Master, may I Request you for a favor?" At dawn, the rosy dawn pierced the darkness of night.

With Roy's appearance, before going to guard the mountain, Kurajing mustered her courage and suddenly asked Roy.

Just as Roy brushed against Tsubone's shoulder, one foot already inside the Butler Villa, he turned around, stopped, and looked at the girl's anxious face. The Nen Qi emanating from her head also displayed a hint of "hesitation" and "wavering."

In just a moment, the Kurta Clan came to mind!

In the original story, the annihilation of the Kurta Clan occurred around this time.

However, due to his interference, the Spider had not yet completely turned to the dark side after Sarasa's death. On the contrary, several of the younger members, led by Chrollo, Uvogin, and Nobunaga, converted to his Believer.

Currently, he is learning meditation under Taiyi, trying to guide the Nen Qi in his body, open his Aura Nodes on his own, and awaken as Nen user. Logically speaking, he would never choose to attack the Kurta Clan at this time.

But then I thought again... Scarlet Eyes, one of the "Seven Wonders of the World," are not only rare but also highly sought after by some collectors of erotic art, including the infamous Fourth Prince Tserriednich of Kakin; Hui Guo Rou...

And, last time, in the palace Hui Guo Rou Benjamin, the eldest prince of the Kakin Empire, I saw Guzman...

The world changes because of him, and it moves because of him; it's understandable that some unexpected situations might arise beforehand.

Roy's mind raced, and he glanced Kurajing, saying, "Don't be nervous, just say what's on your mind."

Kurajing clasped her hands together and quickly replied, "Yes."

He glanced apologetically at Roy and said, "Young Master, my younger brother is coming... He hasn't been home for a long time, and I'm worried he'll be bullied if he's home alone, so I was thinking of bringing him to stay here and taking him for a stroll around Kukuroo Mountain."

"Your brother?"

"Foot,

What's your name?

"Kurapika... his name is Kurapika." Kurajing smiled as he thought of his younger brother.

Roy's gaze immediately shifted... Sure enough, it was Kurapika, the [Chain User] who, from beginning to end in the original work, except for Greed Island, was almost present throughout the entire Hunter x Hunter series!

[Chain User]: One hand holds five chains.

The thumb, also known as the [Healing Thumb Chain], can be activated by attaching a cross to the end of the thumb Chain, allowing the cross to be placed on the wound to accelerate healing.

Index finger, also known as [Steal Chain]: The end of the index finger Chain is tied with an injection needle. The outside of the needle has a dolphin-shaped relief. When inserted into the opponent's body, it can temporarily extract and store the opponent's Nen Ability. Continuing to extract Nen will force the opponent into a state similar to "Zetsu".

The middle finger, also known as the [Chain Jail]: A small hook claw is tied to the end of the ring finger. It is an ability specifically created to deal with the Phantom Troupe. Due to the constraints Vow and Limitation, this ability can only be used on members of the Phantom Troupe. Phantom Troupe members who are bound will be forced into a "Zetsu" state and will be unable to use Nen.

Ring Finger: Also known as [Dowsing Chain]: A sphere is tied to the end of the ring finger, which hangs naturally ten centimeters from the map. When the ability is activated, the direction of the sphere's movement can be used to track the target.

Little finger: Also known as the [Judgment Little Finger Chain]: A sharp cone is tied to the end of the little finger and pierced into the opponent's heart to force them to obey the restraint, otherwise they will die. Kurapika himself also has this chain inserted into his heart. In actual combat, it is used in conjunction with the Binding Chain.

Five fingers represent five Nen Ability, which is crucial.

It also has the added bonus of "Scarlet Eyes".

Roy's mind conjured up an image of a Sun-Earring Boy in ethnic clothing with blond bangs. He gave Kurajing a deep look and said, "Tsubone, once he's picked up, arrange a place for him to stay."

Then, with a slight nod of delight to the Kurajing, she turned and disappeared into the Butler Villa...
