Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 7: He looks like a child, but his age is too high
There are many characters in Hunter x Hunter, and German certainly cannot remember every one of them, but at least he can remember some of the characters with vivid images.

There is a difference between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds, but after meeting the members of the Phantom Troupe, he found that the difference was not that big, just like the comparison between a sketch and a real person.

If I am not mistaken, the girl who just looked at me pretending to be shy should be the "Gem Hunter" Biscuit.

German didn't look back, but continued to eat noodles. After finishing the noodles, he put down his chopsticks, drank a mouthful of noodle soup, and then stood up to pay the bill.

He walked towards the direction of the proprietress and naturally passed by the table of the girl with blonde twin tails.

He took a quick glance out of the corner of his eye and compared it with his memory. This time, Germann was about 70% to 80% sure that it was Biscuit.

After paying the bill, he walked out of the restaurant under the resentful look of the proprietress and came to the busy street outside.

Let’s withdraw some money first.

The original owner was a well-known killer with quite a bit of money in his bank account.

German withdrew a small amount of cash from the bank, and when he came out, he saw Biscuit again.

I saw Biscuit rubbing his eyes with his hands, tears in his eyes, looking very pitiful. Every time he sobbed, his body shook exaggeratedly.

The crying girl can really arouse men's desire to protect her, and many concerned eyes are cast over here.

German glanced at the people who were standing by and watching, and said nothing.

If German had not known in advance that Biscuit was actually an old woman in her fifties, he would have been frightened by her appearance.

Biscuit is a nice guy.

However, Germann is not a good person now. He couldn't guess Biscuit's purpose, so he turned around and left, ignoring her.

It’s better not to provoke her now.

Just as he walked a distance, he heard Biscuit make a "tsk" sound and follow him with his short legs.

Caught up? Furious after being found out? What on earth does Biscuit want to do?

Isn't she a gem hunter? Did she want to play the role of a bounty hunter when she saw me?
Wait, Gem Hunter... Gems...

Germain thought of the "Promised Ruby" that his original self had snatched and given to Kuroro, and he probably understood why Biscuit was targeting him.

She loves gems and has her eyes on the Promised Ruby.

Biscuit is a member of the Hunter Association. Under normal circumstances, he cannot harm the jewel merchant, and naturally he cannot snatch the pair of rubies that she has set her eyes on.

But now that the ruby ​​is in Germain's hands, the situation is different.

She has a very flexible moral code, and stealing a gem from a thief and killer is not considered "stealing".

If she could only get the rubies from Germain, they would be hers.

Germain stroked his chin.

How can I tell her tactfully that the ruby ​​is no longer with me?
Most importantly, will she believe me?
He walked forward with his head down in thought, and as he walked, he bumped into a thin man.

Ok?
Even when he was distracted, German still avoided the thin man.

Instead, the thin man came closer and pretended to bump into him accidentally.

Then, German noticed that the skinny man had dirty hands and actually stole his wallet.

Steal money?

He couldn't help but whistle, and his right hand seemed to have a mind of its own. He stretched out and retracted it in a flash.

The thin man was startled by Germanman's whistle, and then realized that Germanman didn't seem to notice his little action, so he apologized for bumping into Germanman and hurried away.

German turned into a dark alley, reached into his pocket, and pulled out not only his own wallet, but also two other wallets that he had stolen from the thin man.

He opened the two wallets, took out the cash banknotes inside and counted them. The total amount was more than 6000 yuan.

The purchasing power of the ring is roughly equivalent to that of the Japanese yen, and the skinny man's harvest today was quite good, but now it all belongs to Germain.

He threw the two useless wallets on the ground and put more than 6000 ringgits into his own wallet. Biscuit, who had been observing silently for a while, turned into the alley at this time. He was no longer pitiful as before, but full of energy.

She pointed at Germain in mock surprise.

"Ah - big brother, you stole someone's wallet. This is not okay, it's a crime. I'm going to tell the policeman."

Germain took one look at her and understood.

This is a fishing expedition.

Biscuit is now like a little female ghost, pretending to be weak, luring Germain to attack her, making him lose his guard, and then sounding the alarm...

But the alarm was not called by the police, but by herself.

German had to explain the situation directly to avoid wasting each other's time.

"I don't have the 'promised rubies'. I've handed them over to an agent and they should have been sold by now. Forget it."

He said something half-truthfully, which was quite believable. After all, it was a normal way of dealing with the situation.

After hearing this, Biscuit knew that Germain had seen through that she was not an ordinary girl, so she stopped pretending. After showing a slightly disappointed expression, she put her hands on her hips and stared at Germain with interest.

"When did you start to realize my identity and purpose? No wonder my two beautiful girl forms failed to loosen your grip... Well, let me guess, when we were in the restaurant?"

German didn't want to continue chatting with her, so he turned and left again.

However, Biscuit kept chasing after her with his short legs, holding the princess dress in both hands.

"I don't understand... Where did I reveal my flaw? I hid my aura very well, and I didn't say anything strange. Big brother with a hat, please tell me."

Of course, German would not say that I knew from the beginning that you looked like a child but your age was too old for an ordinary person, because that would most likely directly trigger an extremely terrifying copy.

Very unwise.

So he changed his story.

"It's suspicious enough that a beautiful girl of twelve or thirteen was eating noodles alone in a restaurant without any guardian around. Not to mention that you followed me blatantly afterwards."

Bisjid stood there, stunned for a while.

Then she caught up again excitedly and happily, her twin ponytails shaking and she was grinning.

"What? So that's how it is... I'm really a little self-conscious. With a young beauty like me, it would be very strange if there were no adults around. Beauty is such a thing..."

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Germain's arm before he could react.

German was slightly startled and struggled hard, but failed to break free.

Biscuit grabbed his wrist with her left hand, put her right hand on her waist, and stood gracefully like a female idol.

"Well, putting aside the fact that I am beautiful enough, I have another problem."

"German, your so-called intermediary, are you referring to the Phantom Troupe?"

Germann looked at her pretty face which was gradually showing a smug smile. It seemed that this guy came prepared.

He looked down at the petite Biscuit.

"How do you know about my relationship with the Phantom Troupe?"

Biscuit was sure that Germain had taken the bait, so he gently loosened his grip on Germain's arm and stretched out a finger and shook it left and right.

"Have you forgotten? After you stole the 'Promised Ruby', you deliberately painted the twelve-legged spider pattern of the Phantom Troupe on the most conspicuous wall at the entrance, and signed your special mark in the assassin world."

Germann thought about it and realized that his original self had indeed done such a thing.

This was a token of allegiance to the Phantom Troupe, but the boomerang hit German now.
