Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 48 Miss Cookie's Stress Relief
As the night turned to day, a faint light appeared in the thin sea mist.

As time slowly passed, the light gradually separated the fog wall like a pair of soft big hands, and the sun climbed up into the sky little by little.

Biscuit had spent the whole night on a sofa whose springs seemed to be broken. She just woke up at this moment, rubbing her eyes, and looked down. She found that the blanket that was originally wrapped around her body had been kicked under the sofa by her.

She looked nervously at the other two people in the cab, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that they were both still fast asleep.

I can't let other people see me sleeping in such a terrible posture.

German was still lying on the bench, not moving, with a blanket covering him and breathing evenly.

Xiaodi was lying on the mesh hammock, facing up with a calm expression and her hands crossed on her lower abdomen. She looked like a dead person lying in a coffin.

"Hmm...you're sleeping so soundly, you're worthy of being my "Miss Cookie."

Biscuit boasted to himself and looked at the cracked wall where an old-fashioned wall clock was ticking.

"It's eleven in the morning. I have to wake up these two lazy pigs. But before that, let Miss Cookie help me with my beauty. Women should not slack off on their daily beauty care."

Half an hour later, Biscuit came out of the bathroom looking radiant, and saw that Xiaodi had woken up.

Xiaodi was like a lazy black cat, stretching from curled up to stretched out, stretching his body for a long time.

"You're awake, little one."

"Yeah, I just woke up."

"That leaves Germain."

Biscuit nodded to Xiaodi, then walked to the bench and squatted down, reaching out to pinch German's cheek, but German opened his eyes the next moment.

"What do you want to do?"

"Wow!" Biscuit was startled and almost fell on the cold floor. After she recovered, she patted her chest and complained, "Don't scare me. I'm already awake, so get up quickly."

"I just woke up too."

German sat up on the bench, took a look at the thick blanket covering his upper body, reached out to Biscuit who was squatting on the ground, and pulled her up.

"Thank you."

After Germann pulled Biscuit up, he let go, moved the blanket aside, grabbed the hunter's robe that had been folded nearby, and put it on.

“I rarely get such good sleep.”

What he said was not modesty or courtesy, but the truth. Since he came into this world on November 11 last year, he has not slept more than twice and could be considered a truly sound sleep.

In order to deal with the bounty hunters and killers who flocked to him in the first one or two months, German had to make his sleep very light and wake up immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

On the day he was diagnosed with narcolepsy, his sleep did become deep, but too deep, causing many disturbing elements to appear in his endless dreams.

Last night was the first time in a long time that he truly relaxed both physically and mentally, slept without any dreams, and slept until he woke up naturally.

Xiaodi jumped down from the lattice hammock, raised his hand like a student answering a professor's question, and said, "I slept well last night, too. Little Biscuit is very capable."

"Of course!" Biscuit raised his hands proudly and happily high-fived Xiaodi who was walking over. "Lack of sleep is the public enemy of us girls! I can't just leave it alone!"

Germain frowned, watching the interaction between the two of them.

"Little Biscuit"... He forgot to explain Biscuit's actual situation to Xiaodi. It might not be a good idea to deliberately say it now, so it's better to keep the status quo.

Did Xiaodi not notice Bisiji's abnormality? Or did she notice it but didn't care?
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Since you gave me the money, I will do the job."

Biscuit put his hands on his hips and said this, but his face was full of smugness.

"German, what about you? Have you released the 'pressure' mentioned last night? This is the most important point." "Let me confirm." German stretched out his hand and materialized the "Hunter Badge".

It was the first time for Biscuit and Xiaodi to see the true source of his power. It was a broken, crescent-shaped fragment, rusty and with sharp edges.

The "Hunter Badge" projected a shadow in front of them, but they could not see anything. They could only feel that their mental energy had changed.

Pressure: 65 → 41
"24 points eliminated." He said to himself.

German couldn't help but feel excited. This was 14 more points of stress relief than a "critical hit" he could get. Most importantly, this was a stable and sustainable way to relieve stress.

"The effect is very good." German turned around and looked at Biscuit, "Can we do it again now?"

"Of course you can." Biscuit nodded, "But it's been less than 24 hours since the last time, so the effect will be diminishing marginally."

"It doesn't matter. I'll just keep trying." German grabbed the hem of his shirt with both hands, ready to take it off.

This time, Bisiji couldn't bear to continue deceiving him and hurried to stop him.

"You don't need to take off your clothes this time. Just leave it as it is. Ms. Cookie is familiar enough with your body that there is no need for direct contact."

"I see."

Germain nodded and once again laid down on the bench, resting his arms under his chin.

"German really likes massages." Xiaodi adjusted her glasses and said to Bisiji, "But I can understand that. It is indeed a very comfortable experience."

"German probably has his own ideas." Biscuit waved his hand, "It's not just that he likes beauty massage, it should be something very important to him. I will help him reluctantly."

She once again materialized "Miss Cookie" with long pink hair, allowing "Miss Cookie" to perform the dreamlike "Pink Breath" within thirty minutes.

This time, German did not fall asleep, but stayed awake. After the "Pink Breath" ended, he immediately let the "Hunter Badge" project the value.

Pressure: 41 → 26
Germann had a calculation in his mind: "15 points, 9 points less than last time. It may be related to time."

Last night, "Pink Breath" ended at around 21 p.m., and now it is 12 p.m. the next day, so exactly fifteen hours have passed.

It can be inferred that Miss Cookie's initial decompression was 24 points.

Immediately after the massage, I had another massage from Miss Cookie. There was some stress relief, but it was so small that it was negligible and could basically be considered as zero.

If you choose to wait after the end, the decompression amount will be restored by 1 point every hour until it reaches the maximum limit after 24 hours.

"Well, did you get the answer?"

Biscuit made "Miss Cookie" disappear, sat on the chair, bent over, supported his chin with one hand, and observed German's expression.

"Yes." Germann stood up from the bench. "Please ask Miss Cookie to use Peach Breath on me again in 24 hours, and again in 2 hours."

26…Biscuit noticed this keenly, and his wine-red eyes narrowed slightly, like a fox that caught its prey.

She made a judgment in her heart: It seems that the "Hunter Badge" can allow him to see his own physical data, so this can explain his obsession with reducing "stress".

This is not something very strange. There are all kinds of "telepathic abilities". It is normal for someone to have "telepathic abilities" similar to those in games.

"I want to continue the massage, too." At this time, Xiaodi raised her hand again, "I want to continue the massage, too."

Biscuit was stunned for a moment, waved his hands in white gloves, and said, "Hey, hey, hey, my "Miss Cookie" is not your exclusive masseuse."
