He smiled faintly. "Give them a little time."
Ponzu gratefully said to Loki, "Thank you."
Balda led Ponzu aside. "What happened today… you'll need some time to process it."
Ponzu nodded.
Pakunoda walked past them. "Don't misunderstand. Loki's 'a little time' isn't about you."
The next morning, Loki and his group resumed their journey towards the ant nest, Loki leading the way.
He thought, If following the original plot still doesn't trigger a mission… then these ants will be useless.
He looked up at the clear blue sky. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on his face. His white cloak billowed gently.
Something seemed to flash across the sky, a burst of Nen shooting straight ahead before vanishing.
Kite, leading his team, was conducting entry checks when a violent whooshing sound filled the air.
He rushed out, looking up.
'That familiar sound…' Thump! Dust erupted as something fell from the sky. Kite's eyes narrowed. He recognized that move instantly.
A fellow player from Greed Island.
Hearing the commotion, the others rushed out to investigate, waiting for the wind to clear the dust. Two figures approached.
"Kite!"
They were Gon and Killua. After Loki left Greed Island, Gon remained, finally clearing the game today after over a month.
As Gon cleared the game, other teams were nearing completion.
They were dealing with the "One-Acre Shoreline Incident" orchestrated by Leorio.
Kite wasn't surprised to see Gon. He'd met him before.
With Gon's talent, clearing Greed Island was only a matter of time.
What was strange was why Gon was looking for him.
After a conversation, Kite understood that Ging must have done something to lead Gon to him.
Looking at Killua, he said, "If you're looking for Ging, I have no clues."
Gon nodded. "I know Ging wouldn't be that easy to find, but meeting you, Kite, is good too."
Gon's optimistic attitude surprised Kite.
Normally, people would be disappointed, but Gon showed no disappointment.
"Want to team up?"
"Team up?" Kite pointed to the distant trees. "I received intel about an unknown creature, possibly related to a designated quarantine species.
Before you arrived, we were about to investigate."
Gon and Killua found this exciting.
"Then let's team up with you, Kite!"
Kite, Gon, and Killua were reunited, quickly passing the entry check.
They proceeded slowly.
"Many Hunters have entered recently," Kite said, glancing at Gon and Killua.
"Expect unexpected situations ahead. Be careful."
"Kite-san, stop treating us like kids," Gon said, clenching his fist. "After seeing your battle, I trained like crazy. I'm not the same as before."
Confidence shone in Gon's eyes. Kite smiled. "Is that so? Good. But don't get overconfident, Gon."
Killua, riding his horse, chuckled. "Compared to that guy, we're still far behind!"
"I'll catch up to him," Gon declared, undeterred.
As they proceeded, twilight fell, and night descended. Under the moonlight, in a dense forest, Loki suddenly stopped.
His companions also halted, slowly tilting their heads up. Loki's eyes narrowed.
A Chimera Ant emerged from behind a large tree. Then, more and more Chimera Ants appeared. In an instant, thirty or forty Chimera Ants surrounded them.
"More humans have come to us! Good! Plenty of them. Don't rush!" A frog-like Chimera Ant, wearing clothes, stepped forward, looking at Loki and his group.
"Seven targets."
"You have three choices: One, immediately decide your duel order. Two, try to escape, and we'll hunt you down. Three, surrender and come with us."
The frog chuckled. "But I don't recommend the third option. The first two are far more interesting."
"So, tell me, what's your choice?"
Hisoka licked his lips, glancing at Loki, waiting for him to speak.
But Loki wasn't listening to the frog. He stared blankly at a system notification that had suddenly appeared.
