Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 86 "Meeting at the Base"

On the afternoon of June 3th.

Germann calculated the time and came to a mountain range, found a forest that even a cell phone couldn't locate, and came to a lake that was as clear as a lens.

A three-story Western-style mansion is located by the lake. It is far less majestic than the Zoldyck family’s mansion and looks like a temporary residence that a family would rent when traveling.

Biscuit got the news in advance and stood at the door with his hands on his hips waiting. When he saw German's figure, he couldn't help but waved at him from a distance.

"Hey - you're here at last!" she shouted. "How dare you keep a lady waiting so long!"

Amid Biscuit's loud shouting, German's pace remained steady, and he was not affected by her at all.

But Bisiji didn't have so much patience. She held up the hem of her princess dress with both hands and walked over quickly.

"Everyone is here, except you." Biscuit came to Germain and complained, "The main person of this journey is late, how can this be? Sambika must be even more worried."

"Sorry." Germann put his hands in the pockets of the hunter's black robe. "I usually arrive half an hour before the agreed time. I didn't expect you were already here."

"Forget it." Biscuit waved his white-gloved hand, not intending to pursue the matter further, "Let's go in first."

This time, she pulled her blonde hair up into a bun and pointed at the mansion with excitement: "Look, isn't this house beautiful? I bought it, and it will be our temporary base in the future."

"It's really good." Germann looked at the surrounding environment and the exterior of the mansion and commented, "You look like you made a fortune."

"Thanks to you." Biscuit smiled and bumped Germain's arm with her petite body. "Xiao Di and I both made a fortune. I'll take you to see my new collection when I have time."

"Okay." German nodded. He knew it was just a polite remark. Biscuit would not let German go to her "gem collection point".

Biscuit excitedly led German to the door of the mansion. At this time, a window on the second floor was suddenly opened, and a head appeared.

"German." Xiaodi put her chest on the windowsill and greeted downstairs, "You're here."

"I'm coming." German waved in response.

So, Xiaodi nodded calmly, shrank back, and closed the glass window again, as if nothing had happened.

"I say, you two, really..." Biscuit opened the door of the mansion, but held his forehead with a headache, "I can't understand your brain waves. In a sense, it's really an amazing way of communication."

Entering the house, firewood was burning in the brick-red fireplace. Yun Gu was sitting on a chair beside the fireplace, flipping through a thick notebook intently, with the pages curled up as he turned them.

"Ah, Mr. German." He noticed someone coming into the room, looked up, smiled, stood up, and put the notebook on the table beside him. "You're here."

Yun Gu walked over quickly and shook hands with German.

"Yungu, your clothes corner." Bisiji reminded her skillfully without even looking at her. She picked up an apple from the fruit plate and started to take a bite. "Pay attention to your image."

After receiving the reminder, Yun Gu lowered his head quickly, and then shyly reached out to tuck the corner of his clothes back into his pants: "I'm sorry, teacher, Mr. German, I made you laugh."

"Don't be so polite, just call me Germain."

German took a look at the notebook Yun Gu had just read. The content on it was the information of Bisiji's last trip, which took up about one-third of the notebook. Yun Gu looked at Bisiji, and after Bisiji nodded at him, he smiled and said, "Okay, German first... German."

Germain looked at the oil paintings on the wall, most of which were of handsome knights, evil robbers, and young antique dealers. From this, one could see Biscuit's hobbies.

"Yungu, we haven't seen each other for two months, right?" Germain asked, "What have you been doing during this time?"

For some reason, Yun Gu felt a bit restrained facing German at this time, just like he felt when facing Teacher Bisigi, even though he was obviously older than German.

He cleared his throat and answered seriously, "After I sent the color-changing stone to my teacher, I continued my journey in order to pass on our 'Heart Source Flow'."

"Wow?" Biscuit was also interested. She leaned back and lay directly on the soft sofa. At the same time, she threw the apple core accurately into the trash can in the distance. "How's it going?"

Yun Gu couldn't help but feel a little moved. Bisiji's caring question was the most similar behavior of a Xinyuanliu inheritor she had made in recent years.

Speaking of which, Netero, the founder of the Heart Source School, and his successor Biscuit seem to be not very concerned about whether the Heart Source School will have a next generation. Most of them are busy with their own affairs.

This is also related to the characteristics of the Xinyuan School, which is to follow the "elite minority" approach and only teach disciples who are pleasing to one's eyes and have extraordinary talents, and not to blindly expand apprentices.

Yun Gu, the acting teacher of Xinyuanliu, is more concerned about this.

"Teacher Bisiji, I was just about to tell you about this." Yun Gu smiled, "I've taken a fancy to a child with excellent qualifications and character. His name is Zhixi. I want to take him as my disciple."

"Oh...then take it." Biscuit hugged the stuffed pillow beside him, his eyes blinking brightly like a girl.

"Collect..." Yun Gu didn't expect Teacher Bisiji to agree so quickly. He choked and then asked helplessly, "Don't you even ask him how he is doing or come to see him in person?"

"What's so good about it?" Biscuit said directly, "I still believe in your vision. It's this child named Zhixi."

Yun Gu sighed when he heard this. He should have thought of it earlier. Other schools thought that the issue of succession was a matter of life and death, but President Netero and Teacher Biscuit thought that it should just be left to nature.

"This is also in line with the purpose of Xinyuanliu." Yun Gu thought to himself, "I still haven't practiced enough."

So he said, "If nothing unexpected happens, after returning from this trip to the Dark Continent, I will recruit him as..."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Biscuit suddenly jumped up and interrupted him, "Don't set up a flag that sounds unlucky when there are only two days left before departure."

Yun Gu showed a look of realization and embarrassment: "Teacher, I didn't mean it..."

"What will happen if you did it on purpose?" Biscuit scolded with a smile.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps on the stairs.

Xiaodi walked down from upstairs quickly, nodded to everyone, and then adjusted her large black-framed glasses that were about to slip off her nose.

Germain looked around and asked, "Where's the other person?"
