If A Luo had transmigrated into a different manga, then on a bustling street like this, the male and female leads would have caught each other's attention with a single glance across the sea of people, beginning a lifetime of entanglement.
Unfortunately, that sort of romance manga formula would never happen in that old bastard Togashi's Hunter x Hunter.
For instance, what if it was A Luo's strange expression that had caught Mr. Fruit Farmer's attention?
Once Hisoka came over, A Luo would probably be dead before long!
What if Hisoka was interested in the boss?
Then they would follow something closer to the romance manga formula, embarking on a passionate entanglement.
Unfortunately, that entanglement wouldn't involve the sweet affection of a romance manga, but a love-hate struggle that wouldn't end until one of them was dead!
To avoid witnessing such a tragedy firsthand.
And, more importantly, to avoid being jointly pressured by two perverts, A Luo made a snap decision and struck herself with her palm, knocking herself unconscious.
That way, no matter why Hisoka came over, he would have to put her problems aside and lock horns with Chrollo first.
I really am a little genius!
Before she passed out, A Luo thought she had come up with a pretty brilliant plan.
Until she woke up again.
A Luo found herself lying on a soft, pristine white bed, in a spacious room with enormous floor-to-ceiling windows.
The strange thing was that there was no one else in the room.
Had the boss brought her back after she knocked herself out?
But where had he gone?
And could she take this opportunity to escape?
Just as A Luo was letting her thoughts run wild, she heard water running in the bathroom.
"Boss? Is that you?"
The next second, the water stopped.
Then a tall figure walked out of the bathroom.
A Luo was puzzled.
That figure looks taller than Chrollo. He doesn't really look like the boss!
The moment he stepped through the bathroom door, A Luo was struck dumb with shock!
The man who walked straight out of the bathroom wasn't the boss, but a red-haired young man.
He had a handsome, sculpted face, narrow eyes, thin lips, and long limbs with perfect proportions.
He truly was a rare specimen of male beauty!
But is there something wrong with his head?
Why did he come out after his shower wearing absolutely nothing, with only a towel draped around his neck?
Doesn't he know there's someone else in the room?
I may be young, but I'm still a girl!
The handsome redhead was perfectly calm. He merely glanced at A Luo when she cried out, then began drying himself and leisurely getting dressed as though no one else was there.
Thankfully, he didn't put on that signature magician's outfit. His black suit made him look devastatingly handsome.
But he hadn't completely ignored A Luo's presence. As he dressed, he looked at her with a meaningful smile curling his lips.
"Boss?"
A Luo: "...?"
What on earth is going on?
Why did I end up in Hisoka's hands?
Back then, a fight between Chrollo and Hisoka had been about to break out. Even if they hadn't left her behind and given her a chance to escape, at the very least, Chrollo should have picked her up and taken her back to the Spider's nest!
"Don't be scared, little girl! I mean you no harm~♥"
No harm, my ass!
Hearing Hisoka's signature lilt and catching sight of his trademark red-and-white outfit out of the corner of her eye, A Luo felt as though she had been struck by lightning. She lost all desire to live!
There was no doubt about it. The man before her was Hisoka, that perverted fruit farmer who ruthlessly destroyed his fruit.
She would rather have stayed with Chrollo than fallen into this man's hands!
Better the devil she knew, after all. Until Chrollo had dug out all her secrets, he probably wouldn't lay a hand on her.
Now that she was in Hisoka's hands, there were no guarantees. This man acted entirely on his whims, and on top of that, he had the personality of a born Transmutation user.
Fickleness was his defining trait. His moods shifted unpredictably; adoring someone one second and killing them the next was practically his daily routine.
How am I supposed to survive under this guy?
Only after a long while did A Luo finally manage to force out a smile, desperately wishing she could pass out again and never wake up.
"Why am I here? Where's the man who was with me?"
Noticing the little girl's guarded aversion toward him, the man glanced back at the pile of clothes he had tossed carelessly by the bathroom door.
"Oh my ♥~ Our little cutie noticed!"
A Luo: "..."
Hisoka chuckled and leaned closer.
"If an ordinary little girl opened her eyes and found herself in a stranger's room, wouldn't she cry and make a fuss, or be so scared that tears and snot streamed down her face? Hmm ♣~ Little cutie, you seem a bit special!"
A Luo: "..."
Oh no. I forgot to pretend.
The next second, the little girl hurriedly tried to work up some tears.
But the pervert across from her continued talking to himself, adding to what he had just said.
"Of course~♥ I'd find a little girl like that very boring! Then I'd just kill her."
A Luo's hair instantly stood on end. She shuddered and forced back the tears she had just worked up.
Next, the fruit farmer with a fondness for dressing up introduced himself to A Luo.
Sure enough, the bastard was Hisoka.
Hisoka, the perverted fruit farmer who loved seeking out fruit, cultivating it, and devouring it in a single bite!
Afterward, feeling a little hungry after his shower, Hisoka gave up on continuing to interrogate and torment poor little A Luo.
He took the little girl straight to the restaurant on the hotel's second floor to enjoy a candlelit dinner!
In the luxurious, atmospheric fine-dining restaurant, the tall, handsome red-haired young man was dazzling.
Especially when he took the plate from the girl opposite him and considerately helped her, since this was her first time eating Western food at such an upscale restaurant... What a beautiful, romantic scene!
Of course, it would have been even better if the man opposite her had been cutting the steak with a knife and fork instead of a playing card, and if A Luo had transmigrated into a school romance manga instead of Hunter x Hunter!
Hey, stop cutting it!
Who knows what bizarre Magical Beasts, Rare Beasts, or Nen users you've killed with that playing card!
What if it's contaminated with nasty germs or bacteria and I catch something?!
"Say~ Little cutie~♥ Why do you look so unhappy? Is it because the person who brought you along abandoned you on the street earlier and let you fall into my hands~?"
Hisoka raised his eyes to A Luo.
Seeing that Hisoka had finally asked about the person who mattered, the girl temporarily ignored the playing card in his hand and his narrow eyes with their lurking danger, doing her best to regain her composure.
"The person who brought me along... Do you mean the boss?"
Hisoka stopped cutting the steak. Whatever had crossed his mind, he suddenly licked his lips with ravenous hunger and spoke in a husky voice.
"The boss! Is that what all of you call him? ♥"
