Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 281 Members Returning Together to Greed Island
On December 12, the sky cleared up after the rain. The potholes were filled with water, reflecting the fragmented sky, and the world seemed to be divided into pieces.

After the Professional Hunter website announced the list of heroes and rewards for the Chimera Ant Subjugation War, more and more people wanted to get acquainted with German.

But Germain didn't like this.

It was actually enough for him to hold a celebration party internally with Mo Laowu, Nuobu, Nakulu, Xiu Tuo, Pom and others.

Those extended hands, handed over business cards, cameras pointed at him and microphones raised were not what he wanted.

German was not willing to stay in the Hunter Association headquarters for a long time, and he became even more impatient when he was often pestered by those sticky people.

Therefore, he decided to leave on December 12th, the night he became a "Rat".

Qiduo has been busy recently, but after learning of Germain's intention, he also helped arrange an airship to Greed Island.

It is said that the next vice president is likely to be Kitaro, and now all that is left is Netero's nod of approval and the official announcement.

But no matter what, Qiduo is now doing the work of the vice president, and even some of the president's work has been thrown to her.

She has been very busy recently. This is not an adjective but a true description.

Even so, she still found time to arrange an airship for German, which shows her strong time management skills.

At the same time, the choice that was placed before the Chimera Ants on the 23rd of last month has finally come to the point where a decision must be made.

Over the past ten days, the Chimera Ants have actually been thinking about how to deal with this multiple-choice question, and everyone has different concerns.

German was about to leave, and they could not hesitate any longer and had to make a choice.

As a result, they split into two factions.

Brobuta decided to return to his hometown in the human period, the NGL Autonomous Region, just like Korudo and Rena, even if he would be monitored there for the rest of his life.

His wish was soon fulfilled. He left ahead of German and was arranged to return to the NGL autonomous region.

The rest of the Chimera Ants, "Chameleon" Merewon, "Octopus" Icarugo, "Werewolf" Wilfin, and "Bunny Girl" Sina, decided to follow Germain and leave.

This is the result of their careful consideration, mutual discussion and weighing of the pros and cons.

According to Germain, their destination is called Greed Island.

I heard that the island is quite huge and it shouldn't be a problem for them to live there.

Of course, they did not get the settlement for free, but needed to work there, working for "Rat" German.

Among them, Mereon is relatively special. In addition to working for his own future as a Chimera Ant, he also wants to repay Germain.

If it weren't for German, it would be difficult for him to succeed in his revenge on the "Ant King and the Three Guards".

However, this is not over yet.

Pom even suggested going to Greed Island together.

This surprised many people, especially her teacher Nob, as well as Mo Laowu, Nakulu and Xiu Tuo.

They came one after another and asked the reason.

After all, Pom's original identity was a professional hunter, and she became what she is now because of the Chimera Ant subjugation war. The Hunter Association will not treat her unfairly.

Treating her badly would be as shameful as treating badly a firefighter who rushes into a raging fire or a narcotics officer who goes undercover in a drug lord's place.

However, Pom still decided to leave with Germain together with Mereon, Icarugo, Wilfin, and Sina, and settled on Greedy Island.

Pom's reason was actually very simple. Like Mereon, she hoped to repay Germain and do things for him.

She has become what she is now. Even though she is on the list of heroes, she cannot show herself in front of the world directly. This is all thanks to Neferpitou and Owl Yapov.

Pom hopes to repay this kindness by helping Germain.

Apart from that, she really couldn't think of any place better suited for her to start over and find peace of mind than the Greed Island where she was about to go.

After knowing Pom's true thoughts, Mo Laowu, Nob and others were silent for a long time. They did not try to persuade him anymore, but came together to see German, Pom and others off.

Mo Laowu, Nob and others also expressed gratitude to German and had already decided to lend a helping hand to him wherever he needed it in the future.

Since Pom had the same idea as them, there was naturally no reason for everyone to persuade him any further.

Besides Mo Laowu, Nuobu, Nakulu and Xiutuo, Qiduo was also there to see him off.

Netero did not come to see him off.

It's not that he was acting like the president, but after December 12, he left all the affairs of the Hunter Association to Qiduo and Doumianren, and then disappeared.

This is also one of the reasons why Qiduo is so busy.

The president always likes to do this, leaving without explaining the reason or destination, and Qiduo has become accustomed to it.

The existence of the "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was originally a team set up to temporarily take charge of affairs when President Netero was away from the Hunter Association headquarters.

As for the remaining "Twelve Branches", after the meeting on December 12, they left one after another. After all, they all had their own tasks and work to do.

As a result, only Qiduo was left guarding the Hunter Association headquarters.

Qiduo came to see him off and brought a young girl with him as well.

Xiaomai, the military chess girl, boarded the airship timidly.

During the period, she was frightened by the strange-looking chimera ants and fell down, but fortunately she was not injured.

Yes, she could see it.

The "Breath of the Archangel" not only healed the damage done to her by Zeno's "Dragon Star Cluster", but also cured her blindness.

However, when she woke up and saw this strange world clearly, she was not happy but a little scared.

It took her several days to get used to being able to see the world.

Xiaomai was lucky. She had an outstanding talent in military chess. Meruem wanted to defeat her, so he did not kill her at the first time.

However, her family was not so lucky. They were killed by Neferpitou's remote-controlled soldiers and buried unceremoniously in the dirt.

They were neither qualified to be selected as reincarnated Chimera Ants nor were they suitable for food. Neferpitou did not want the fact of "selection" to be exposed too early, so he added the burial procedure. Otherwise, they would have just thrown the bodies on the ground.

Xiaomai still doesn't know the cruel truth about the Chimera Ants' invasion of the Republic of East Gurdjieff, and has always regarded Meruem as the commander-in-chief of the Republic of East Gurdjieff.

After she regained her sight, she asked about the whereabouts of her "chess friend the commander-in-chief".

At first, everyone was puzzled as to why General Digo had such an interest in playing military chess.

As Xiaomai described, some terrifying details made everyone quickly think of Meruem.

Xiaomai still had no idea about this, so everyone simply told the girl a white lie.

A new round of coup d'état took place in the Republic of East Gothia. The "commander-in-chief" and his subordinates were killed. Hundreds of thousands of people were involved in the coup and were brutally massacred.

Xiaomai's family also died in this sudden war.

The whole country fell apart because of this.

Minister Bizeff, who wanted to seize power, has been arrested and is being investigated for horrific war crimes.

This is also an almost unanimous description from outside media.

After learning that General Digo died in the coup, Xiaomai felt lost for a long time.

She seemed to have determined that she would never have a soulmate like General Digo in military chess, and she lost a lot of weight because of this.

As for her family, she was a little sad, but she didn't have as strong emotions as she did for General Di Ge.

This is because her family was not very kind to her and she was always lonely until she met Marshal Digo.

Qiduo's suggestion for her subsequent recuperation plan is to let her do something, but there may not be many suitable jobs for her in the Hunter Association.

To put it bluntly, Xiaomai knows nothing about anything except military chess.

Later, it was Germain who suggested that Wheat go to Greed Island as well.

Qido thought that Germain was feeling pity, but what he actually wanted was to let Xiaomai be an NPC on Greedy Island.

Greed Island is not originally a large-scale real-life game that is all about fighting. It is very comprehensive, and it is not out of place to add the number one military chess player to the mix.

German has already anticipated that in the future someone will be doing a task as difficult as Xiaomai, and will be unable to pass it no matter how hard they think.

So, Qiduo readily agreed and sent the wheat over.

In this way, there is one more team member following Germain to Greed Island.

After Pom, Xiaomai and the Chimera Ants boarded the airship, Qido, who was standing next to Germain, suddenly spoke.

"President Netero must have done this on purpose, right?"

Germain looked at her.

The dog girl adjusted her glasses and smiled as if she saw through everything.

"The Chimera Ants can't attend the celebration banquet openly. Asking them to come to the Hunter Association headquarters is completely unnecessary."

"But the president did just that... He wanted the Chimera Ants to experience for themselves this ever-present sense of alienation."

“Even if they are heroes or surrenderers, they can never be completely integrated into the human community. They must accept this reality and continue to live.”

"If they want a better life and more freedom, they need status. And to want status, they need merit."

"However, if they want to gain merit, they need to cooperate with professional hunters."

"If they must follow a professional hunter to gain merit, why not choose a hunter they are already familiar with and who is powerful enough to protect them?"

"If President Netero hadn't done this, the only ones willing to leave with you today would probably be Pom, Merewon, and Xiaomai."

Qiduo snorted softly.

She noticed that Mo Laowu and others were walking towards this side after saying goodbye to the people on the airship, so she hurriedly ended the conversation.

"When I have time, I will go to Greed Island."

"I know that the assets there belong to Jin, and somehow they ended up in your hands. Now even President Netero is involved."

"There must be something strange on that island."

Mo Laowu, Nuobu and others happened to come in front of her at this time, so she just kept smiling and stopped talking.

German glanced at her without explaining anything.

Mo Laowu, Nob, Nakulu and Xiu Tuo came to see German and said that they hoped he would take good care of Pom, Merewon and Ikarugo.

Naturally, Germain agreed.

In fact, Mo Laowu, Nob and others also wanted to go to Greed Island. After all, that place is quite famous in the professional hunter circle.

However, the Hunter Association needed to summarize and review the experience of this Chimera Ant crusade, so they had to stay and help.

After all, as long as the Chimera Ants are not completely extinct, such invasions will continue to occur.

The experience gained by the Chimera Ant Suppression Team is valuable, especially since no one can predict whether the next "Ant King" that appears will be more terrifying than Meruem.

Whether the evolution of the Chimera Ants has really reached its limit in Meruem remains unknown.

Since the two core members of the expedition team, Germain and Netero, have both quit, these complicated tasks can only be handed over to Mo Laowu, Nob and others.

However, they all promised that after a period of time, when the experience here is summarized and Xiu Tuo's injuries are completely healed, they will set off to visit Greedy Island.

Afterwards, Germain said goodbye to everyone and boarded the airship.

The airship took off slowly, and the people who were seeing it off became smaller and smaller in the view from the porthole, like ants, and later they could no longer be seen at all.
