Chapter 125: Why is it you again?
The white tiger loosened its tail, lifted up by an invisible wind, and stood on the lake surface without a single hair touching the water.
As the blond youth was thrown into the air, he decisively let go of the fishing rod. Just before falling into the water, he squatted down and touched the lake surface below with his hand, instantly freezing the water into ice.
He landed steadily on the ice and looked up to find the figure he was following.
"Wuhu—" came the boy's cheerful voice from not far away.
Maro and Sora both looked over, only to see that the boy had somehow gotten onto the big blue fish, using the fishing rod as a steering wheel to control the fish's movements.
And it's hurtling towards them.
"Wait, sir..." Maro opened his mouth to speak, but the next second, the ice block beneath him was shattered. He had no choice but to quickly condense another block of ice and jump over it before falling into the water.
As soon as he cast his line, he saw the white-haired boy pull the fishing rod, and the big fish beneath him swam towards him again as if in a frenzy.
"My lord—" Maro turned and ran.
One block of ice after another appeared on the lake surface, serving as temporary land for him to land on.
The background music as he fled in a disheveled state was the boy's unrestrained and carefree laughter.
"Faster, faster..."
"If you're too slow, you'll get soaked."
Run, keep running.
Until the lake surface was covered with broken, unmelted ice, Maro lay sprawled on a piece of ice, his lower body submerged in the water, exhausted and his vision blurred.
The large blue fish, exhausted, floated belly-up on the water.
"Ah, so weak." Su Wu shook his head as he looked at the exhausted Maro and Yu, then turned to the white tiger huddled to the side. "Come down and play."
The white tiger shook its head frantically, its entire body screaming resistance to the water.
It's a feline after all, so it's not unusual.
Su Wu lay down on the grass, put her hands behind her head, and stared at the sky, letting her mind go blank.
……
"This is Whale Island."
"I'll take you to see Aunt Mitt..."
Gon and Killua returned to Whale Island, where the residents showed them great hospitality.
"Xiao Jie, you're back!"
"Hey, you little rascal..."
Gon nodded to everyone in turn, then grabbed Killua and ran off.
All he wants to do now is go home and see Aunt Mitt.
Back home, after introducing Killua to Aunt Mito, the two strolled around Whale Island.
"Hey, Gon, look." Killua pointed in a direction.
There, groups of two or three residents came running out of the forest carrying tools.
"Uncle—what happened?" Xiao Jie stopped the man and asked.
"A monster has gone berserk over by the forest lake, causing a huge commotion. It's been going on for an hour now. I don't know what happened to make that big guy so angry," the uncle who had been stopped explained, scratching the back of his head.
"Warcraft?" Xiao Jie asked, his eyes filled with doubt.
"Going berserk!" This was Killua's excited shout.
"Let's go, let's go take a look." This time it was Killua's turn to pull Gon along and run forward.
The forest was not as restless as people said; it seemed that the raging monsters had calmed down.
They walked all the way to the lake, but still didn't see any of the so-called magical beasts...
No, that's not right. Actually, there are still Warcraft games.
For example, a white tiger lying on the grass.
"...The islanders aren't talking about you, are they...?" Killua's gaze swept over the white tiger and landed on the boy beside him with his eyes closed, who seemed to be asleep.
"...What?" The other person opened their eyes a beat late, stared at them for a long time, and slowly asked back.
"Someone on the island said that a monster has gone berserk here, causing a huge commotion. Besides you guys, is there anyone else?" Killua asked, looking disappointed.
With this guy around, which monster would dare to go berserk? This guy's berserk state is practically invincible.
"I only played around with it for a little while..." The white-haired boy, who had been lying down, sat up lazily, leaned against the white tiger, and yawned as he spoke.
"Whale Island is really small."
Even a minor incident can quickly spread throughout the entire island in a short period of time.
"I played around with it for a bit..." Killua's gaze fell on the ice floes covering the lake.
The light reflected from those ice blocks was almost dazzling.
"Ah! Lord of the Swamp!" Xiao Jie suddenly shouted, pointing at the fish on the lake.
The fish that he caught and then released back into the wild.
"What's wrong with it?" Xiao Jie asked, looking at the fish that had flipped over belly up.
He sensed that the other person wasn't dead, but for some reason, the emotions they seemed to be expressing were... worse than death?
Is it just an illusion?
"I was just tired of playing," Su Wu explained casually.
The large fish, its belly up, struggled to turn over and, exhausted, swam towards the deeper waters.
Humanity, oh.
They never showed themselves again.
"...Doesn't look like it." Killua remarked, looking at the lifeless-looking giant fish.
What did you guys play to get this bad?
No, the most important question should be—
"What are you guys doing on Whale Island?!" Killua's face was full of "It's you guys again" expressions.
When he came out of the interrogation room at home, he heard that the other party had stayed at his house for a month and left before he came out. Then, when he went to the Sky Arena with Xiao Jie, he found out that the other party was still a player in the Sky Arena.
Even more surprisingly, once when he tried to go to the betting window, he was stopped by someone!
They said things like "Don't come near the white-haired, blue-eyed guy," and "Don't think I won't recognize you just because you removed your tattoos," and wouldn't let him place any bets.
That was bad enough. Later, when he went to buy chocolate, he was told that it had been bought by a white-haired, blue-eyed contestant not long ago.
Killua, having reached his limit.
I never expected to run into each other while I was on Whale Island!
This is Xiao Jie's hometown! What is this guy doing here?!
"On vacation, didn't you know?" The white-haired boy looked at them like they were idiots.
"Huh? You're here for a vacation?" Killua looked incredulous.
The Zoldyck trio wondered why the other party would come to such an obscure island when there are so many other resort areas available.
"It's more fun when you're not famous. A vacation isn't about counting heads," the white-haired young man said casually.
"Anyway, we'll be staying here for a while longer, so don't come here unless it's absolutely necessary," Su Wu waved her hand, seemingly disgusted.
"You bastard..." Killua gritted his teeth.
She's so good at talking; how can she speak in such an annoying way?
And with the other person's voice, it sounded exactly like he was saying those annoying things.
Wait a minute, doesn't he usually talk to other people like this?
Killua's displeasure vanished instantly.
How could his way of speaking be annoying? Impossible.
"Maro, are you rested enough?" Su Wu called out towards the lake.
"It's all done, sir." The blond youth walked step by step from the lake to the shore.
He was soaked to the bone, and his clothes were still dripping wet.
"Change into these." Su Wu reached into Chou Bao's mouth and searched for a while before pulling out Maro's clothes and throwing them to him.
"Okay." The blond youth picked up his clothes, glanced at the two extra people, and ran to the corner to change.
