Mangekyō Sharingan Activated, Susanoo Ready to Go

The bedroom door creaked open.

A pair of gentle eyes slowly came into Kurapika's view. What kind of eyes were they?!

Despite it being their first meeting, Kurapika tensed up, feeling as if he were being seen through from head to toe, inside and out. His mind went blank, and Kurajing pressed him down as he bowed to Roy, "Young Master, Kurapika, my brother..."

"Ouch~" My arm hurts a bit, I think it was pecked by a goose... Kurapika, still a little dazed, was secretly pinched on the arm by Kurajing. He twitched his lips and came back to his senses, then mumbled, "Hello."

In just a moment, the gaze that had seen right through him vanished as the Sun-Earring Boy sitting at the desk smiled gently... Kurapika straightened up again and cautiously looked over, finally seeing the face of the person in front of him clearly. It was hard to say what kind of aura he possessed!

Just like a crane standing out from the crowd, easily spotted in a sea of people.

Kurapika was immediately drawn to the beautiful silver hair with its ends shimmering with a golden light.

"Sit." At that moment, two chairs flew over from beside the dining table, as if they had grown legs, and slowly landed in front of Kurajing and Kurapika.

The girl pulled the Sun-Earring Boy down to sit, giving him a reproachful look and saying, "Aren't you going to thank the Young Master?"

Kurapika lowered his eyelids, standing like a stick in front of Roy, struggling and hesitating. Suddenly, he bowed and apologized to Roy through gritted teeth, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake, please Forgive me."

Kurajing was startled. She hadn't even been happy for two seconds after receiving her younger brother when her delicate face turned pale, and a look of panic immediately crept onto her cheeks...

What happened?

"Kurapika, what have you done?!"

Kurajing stood up, and just like when he was a child, he reached out to grab Kurapika's ear.

After all, he was his own younger brother. If it were anyone else, or even if Gotoh woke up and stood here... offending or contradicting the Young Master, they might be dragged away and Human Realm...

Kurajing panicked instantly...

Seeing this, Roy was somewhat surprised. He flicked a Nen Qi and silently summoned a [Heart Bug]. Following the Thread of Causality formed by his first encounter with Kurapika, the worm instantly entered the Sun-Earring Boy's heart. After a brief glance, he noticed Netero and the Beans, and suddenly understood the whole story. He waved his hand to signal Kurajing not to panic.

He chuckled gently, "It's always good to be wary of strangers when you're out and about, Xiao Jing, don't blame her."

Roy raised his hand, a gentle breeze swept by, supporting Kurapika's back and softly helping him to his feet... The Sun-Earring Boy's ears were held by Kurajing's hands, his face slightly pale, his eyes darting away, avoiding Roy's gaze. Roy then said, "Impersonating my brother was merely to protect myself. It can't be called lying; it should be called 'quick wit'."

Kurapika lowered his head, his chest rising and falling slightly, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knows everything...

How did he know?

"Could he be a tapeworm in my stomach?"

Fortunately... he doesn't seem to blame me.

In the blink of an eye, Kurapika felt a "bang" on the back of his head as Kurajing angrily slapped him, shouting, "Aren't you going to thank the Young Master?"

The Sun-Earring Boy nearly stumbled from the slap, and quickly bowed to Roy, saying, "Thank you."

The man cautiously glanced at Roy, like a startled rabbit, extremely alert. Even with his sister by his side, he seemed ready to run at the slightest disturbance, a sight that made Roy chuckle...

The future mob boss, the "Chain User," a master of both intelligence and cunning, shines brightly on the Black Whale. One of only two remaining Kurta Clan after Pairo, he's got a mind full of schemes, and his true nature is already beginning to emerge...

"Sit down." Roy nodded slightly, casually conjuring several teacups using [Wood Release], then pointed a finger, unleashing [Water Release], his Nen Qi transforming into water that flowed gently into the cups, gesturing for the two to take one. Kurapika, half-reclined on the chair, stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded... This seemingly magical scene was unfolding right before his eyes... He remained stunned for a long time before finally snapping out of his daze...

"Young Master, Kurapika has never left the village since he was a child, please forgive him." A country bumpkin coming to the city, never seen the world... Wasn't I like that before?

This time, Kurajing did not blame Kurapika. She accepted the tea that had flown to her, drank it, and sincerely apologized to Roy.

Roy smiled, completely unconcerned. He simply watched with amusement as Kurapika stared blankly at the tea in front of him, vaguely seeing his former self reflected in him. He was someone who had worked incredibly hard, yet was labeled "mediocre" by his father and grandfather. He was filled with Infinite longing and yearning for "Nen" and the world of "Nen".

The difference is... he knows "Nen," while Kurapika doesn't know "Nen" at this moment...

"Whoosh~" A cool breeze carrying the summer heat blew in from outside the window, rustling the gauze curtains.

Roy remained Kurajing, both waiting quietly for him to regain his Kurapika... After what seemed like an eternity, the clock in the corner struck with a "dong," like a drumstick hitting the top of Kurapika's head, rousing the Sun-Earring Boy from his Youyou. He looked at Roy again, his eyes filled with... awe!

"Excuse me, may I ask you a question?" The Sun-Earring Boy's voice was a little hoarse; his throat was dry and he was thirsty, but he couldn't bear to pick up the teacup and take a sip, as if afraid... that one sip would mean losing everything...

"One, two, or three?" Roy rested his chin on his hands, smiling as he looked at Kurapika. "Your heart tells me you have more than one question."

Kurapika's pupils contracted: He... he can really hear what I'm thinking! Is he really a mind reader?!

"A roundworm, Sun-Earring Boy, that's not exactly a pleasant metaphor~" Suddenly, the words echoed in Kurapika's mind!

The Sun-Earring Boy was startled and exclaimed, "Who?!"

Restless, he looked around, finally settling on... Roy, who was smiling and scrutinizing him...

Kurapika's face visibly changed drastically for a moment, and he dared not let his mind wander any further.

"Hiss... hiss..." Wisps of steam rose from the teacup, then vanished into thin air amidst the summer heat. Roy, seeing the Sun-Earring Boy's head bowed in silence, reached out and summoned back the Heart Bug, then said Youyou, "If you don't want others to know, you won't do it yourself. Otherwise, even if you don't say it, your heart will eventually betray you..."

"Xiaojing, I'll grant you a week's vacation. Take your younger brother around and have some fun..."

Kurajing glanced at Kurapika, then stealthily looked at Roy, finished her tea, pushed back her chair, stood up, and respectfully replied, "Yes."

With a casual gesture, he pulled Kurapika along, saying, "Kurapika, come with me."

"Clang~" The chair was pushed aside, and Kurapika silently got up, stiffly following behind Kurajing, walking towards the bedroom door with his back to her... It felt like a short dream, yet also like a year had passed. He stiffly moved to the door, then suddenly tugged at Kurajing's sleeve and stopped.

Kurapika mustered his courage and, for the first time, turned to look at Roy, saying, "Young Master, can my sister stay here indefinitely?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurajing suddenly turned around, and Roy raised an eyebrow in surprise... He thought the Sun-Earring Boy wouldn't ask any more questions out of caution, but... he really asked a question, or rather... a question that he hadn't seen in the other's mind at all.

"Kurapika!" Kurajing reached out to cover Kurapika's mouth, afraid that he would say something wrong and offend Roy.

But the Sun-Earring Boy looked at Roy intently, his gaze clear and no longer fearful, which made Roy's eyes flicker, and he waved his hand to stop Kurajing's actions.

"Give me a reason." Roy's flippant expression vanished as he looked at the Sun-Earring Boy gently. "What, you don't want her to go home?"

Kurapika took a deep breath after a moment of silence and said frankly, "There's no point in returning to a decaying, closed-off home."

The Sun-Earring Boy, with the candor of a little adult, said, "I know you are a remarkable person, and this is a remarkable place. I'm just glad my sister is doing well here."

Roy nodded in deep agreement. "That's true. There will always be some greedy, Scarlet Eyes individuals who will try every means to find you. Even if you want to live in seclusion, you can't escape unless..."

"To disappear completely from this world."

Kurapika and Kurajing were both startled, and suddenly looked up at Roy, who pushed up his glasses and said with a wry smile, "Young Master, you know everything."

When did you find out? Kurapika glanced at his sister, then at Roy, who had beautiful silver hair with shimmering gold at the ends. Roy said gently, "Don't be so surprised. There are countless rare and precious things in the world, and your race isn't the only one whose eyes turn red."

A glint of light flickered in Roy's eyes, and a thought flashed through his mind; a touch of blood slowly crept into his eye sockets.

"Buzz~" Noticing this scene, Kurapika and Kurajing's amber eyes trembled and then quietly turned fiery red due to the intense emotional fluctuations... In this hot summer, a cold and gloomy look and three pairs of bright red eyes made a rare appearance in the same room.

"Heh heh... Seven Wonders of the World?"

"You brat, our family doesn't have Bloodline from the Kurta clan."

A faint, dreamlike sound drifted from a dimly Youyou room on the first floor of the Zoldyck Family's Ancient Castle.

Maha, his mind still heavy, calmed Brook Sael, Severus, and the others down. Listening to cartoons, he rocked back and forth in his rocking chair, muttering absentmindedly to himself...

When appropriate, panel prompts will be displayed.

[Detection: [Yin Release] has reached LV5, evolution will be activated immediately...]

As a streak of crimson crept into Roy's eyes, the three jet-black magatama slowly rotated, elongating and thinning to form three intertwined black blades... creating a chilling nebula pattern, with the sun at the very center and stars surrounding it... Slowly rotating, it gradually came into the view of Kurapika and Kurajing Shizuka. The two figures, one large and one small, stared blankly at this scene, their amber pupils fading and fiery red returning, like two burning flames, staring straight at Roy, neither of them uttering a word.

Are they Scarlet Eyes? No... Young Master's eyes are different from ours, but... they have indeed turned red!

Kurapika and Kurajing were certain that Roy wasn't a member of the Kurta clan. As "rare animals" of this world, every Kurta was registered within their clan, and they had never heard of anyone like him. Moreover... Roy's beautiful silver hair was almost identical to Silva's and the old man they'd seen by chance at the mountain gate... Zeno Zoldyck...

His appearance combines the best features of Kikyo and Silva, and they even share a resemblance...

Kurajing and Kurapika exchanged a quiet glance, and for a moment they remained silent, staring at each other in bewilderment.

"Buzz~" An invisible wave of ocular power spread out, making the room feel as if it had fallen into an ice cave, filled with a chilling cold, Sharingan Youyou Mangekyō revealed its formidable power...

So close, Kurajing and Kurapika suddenly shivered and glanced out the window in horror. The garden was scorching hot, a scene of midsummer, but the house was as cold as winter, freezing cold, making their hands and feet numb, as if they were frozen and gradually losing consciousness.

"Young Master," Kurajing stammered, clinging to Kurapika. The siblings nestled together, their lips moving as they called out to Roy. A torrent of Negative Emotions surged from within them, flooding their eyes... Roy silently sensed the Transformation within them. His ears twitched, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed [Wind Breathing], creating a gentle breeze that carried the siblings directly out of the Ancient Castle...

"Tap... tap..." A series of footsteps followed, and a tall man with beautiful silver hair swaying in the breeze, dressed in some black tight-fitting clothes and cloth shoes, appeared outside the window, leaning against the door.

Silva, hands in his pockets, leaned against the door and calmly looked at Roy, saying, "Is it time?"

"Crack, crack, crack..." Suddenly, a series of cracking sounds, like the winding of a clock or the frantic growth of ribs, revealed a vaguely ethereal blue giant slowly emerging from Roy as its center, its grotesque form becoming increasingly apparent...

Suddenly, the Sun-Earring Boy exhaled two long streams of gas from his nostrils, abruptly raising his eyes to look at Silva. His crimson pupils, like two dark, deep black holes, swirled slowly within them, sucking in all the light along with Silva. Roy forcefully suppressed the glint of light, causing it to fade away...

"Crack crack crack..." The blue, illusory giant roared in resentment, its skeleton stretching out before beginning to shrink.

Its head reached the sky, its feet planted firmly on the ground, and its empty pupils blazed with the Sun God, glaring angrily at Silva...

It collapsed in an instant, disappearing into Roy's body. A moment later, only a chilling aura remained, accompanied by Roy's leisurely voice, Youyou drifted to Silva's ear. "Father didn't go to accompany Netero?"

Your grandfather is with you.

"Hmm... then tomorrow." Roy smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth. "Let me get a good night's sleep first."

Silva stared intently at Roy, then turned and left, as if he had said everything, yet also as if he had said nothing at all, casually tossing out, "Go hug Killua today."

Don't wait until tomorrow when it's too late.
