[Hunter] Full Time Gintama

"Then, please, Mr. Yamazaki."

"Don't be so polite."

Kondo Isao did not leave immediately after bringing Yamazaki to Kurapika, but stayed to see if there was anything that needed help.

Looking at the dead wood-like corpses arranged neatly on the ground, Yamazaki began to activate his mind ability.

"【God of Surveillance】"

A powerful mind ability instantly covered the bodies of these corpses, and then began to shrink little by little, forming a black mind ball, and finally gradually fell into Yamazaki's hands.

It was the first time Kurapika saw Yamazaki's Nen ability, and was amazed by it.

"This ball is..."

"It contains the clues left by the caster." Yamazaki explained.

Seeing the blackness of the ball gradually dissipate, Kurapika observed carefully, and when the blackness disappeared, even Kurapika couldn't help but be stunned by what was left.

Rather than being stunned, it was probably more about not knowing how to react.

What was left in Yamazaki's hand was a piece of red bean bread.

"...Is this a clue?"

"Well, yes. Then..." Yamazaki held up the red bean bun, "I'm starting!"

"Eh?!"

Before Kurapika could react, Yamazaki had already eaten the red bean bun in three bites, this action made Kurapika stay there.

"Hahaha, don't you think it's strange?" Kondo laughed, "Yamazaki's Nen ability is to eat the red bean buns formed by the enemy's remaining Nen to get clues. However, this clue is not ready-made..."

Not off the shelf?

Kurapika was still thinking about the meaning of this sentence, but Yamazaki's next actions made him startled.

I saw that Yamazaki suddenly lost consciousness as if possessed by something.

"It's about to start!" Kondo Hoon suddenly said while looking at Yamazaki.

Sure enough, Yamazaki rolled his eyes and started talking.

"[There are five chances.]"

"Ah, only five times? It's not enough... But there's no way, Yamazaki gives the opportunity to ask questions through the amount of remnants left." Kondo touched his chin and said to Kurapika, "You can Ask Yamazaki at this time about the identity of the assassin. Only he will only answer 'YES' or 'NO', and you only have five chances. So be careful not to waste the chance."

Although it was only a few words, a mind like Kurapika quickly figured out Yamazaki's ability.Without talking nonsense, I started to ask Yamazaki questions.

"Q1. Is it the guards beside the other princes who killed us?"

“【YES】”

"Sure enough, it wasn't Nian Beast's doing." Kondo Hoon said seriously.

Kurapika nodded: "Besides, the assassin is someone who is with other princes, not someone from our side. Now, we can rule out the people who stay with Prince No.14."

"Q2. Is the assassin someone I've met?"

"【NO】"

"Is there someone you haven't seen? Then it will be hard to find now!" Kondo Hoon said distressedly.

Kurapika didn't say anything, but continued to ask the next question.

"Q3. Is the assassin someone whom all six dead people have seen?"

“【YES】”

Kondo Isao was a little surprised: "Have you seen it? Known it? In that case..."

"Just because you've met doesn't mean you know each other. It's just that one thing is certain." Kurapika analyzed, "At the moment of meeting, a time-set noetic ability is planted in each other's body, and when the time comes, It is also possible to start it."

"That's difficult!" Kondo frowned, "We don't know where these people have been and who they have met..."

"It usually doesn't take too long to set up such mind abilities. I'm afraid they were set up by someone who was seen after boarding the ship..."

"If so, it should be possible to find out."

The sudden interruption made both Isao Kondo and Kurapika look over.It was Bill, another guard besides Kurapika.

"Although I don't intend to eavesdrop on your conversation... But you don't care, right? After all, it is such an aboveboard activity."

"Of course, we welcome more discussions." Kondo Hoon smiled.

"Bill, what did you mean by that?"

"Just after listening to you, I found out that they have one thing in common. I think this common point is also related to the same person they have met."

"What is it?"

"They were all guards at the gate."

As soon as the words fell, Kurapika also remembered.

"Indeed... that is to say, the assassins gave them the mind ability when they were guarding the gate."

"That's right. Neither you nor I have ever guarded the gate. Let alone the maids. It is they who died, not us. I can't think of any other answer."

"However, even if we know why they died, it still doesn't solve the problem, right?" Isao Kondo crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "If you don't know who the most important assassin is, it is very likely that you will be set For the target. Not only you, but I'm afraid we are as well."

The assassin hidden in the dark is lurking like a poisonous snake.very dangerous.

"In this case, let's try to narrow the scope."

Kurapika looked at Yamazaki again.

"Q4. Is the assassin in one of the rooms in our row?"

The bedrooms of the princes are divided into two rows, and belong to the pattern of left and right distribution.Therefore, as the bedroom of Prince No.14, the bedroom opposite to him is Prince No.13.In other words, the rooms in the same row as Prince No.14's bedroom are all even-numbered princes.

In this way of asking, at least the scope can be reduced by half.

“【YES】”

"Sure enough, it's one of the princes in this row."

"Considering that it was read because of being guarded outside the door, it is possible that only the guards of this row of princes can do it. It is better to pass by our people when returning to the room and then take action." Ideal situation."

"Kurapica, now there is only one last chance to ask questions." Kondo Isao reminded.

Kurapika nodded, thinking for a while.

"Q5. Are assassins the guards of the female prince?"

"【NO】"

This is the most important clue. For a moment, both Kondo Isao and Bill were stunned.

"Is that the male prince?"

"And it's the male princes in this row, that is, the fourth and eighth princes?"

"Now that you know which side the assassin is from, it will be much easier. Once you see someone from the fourth or eighth prince's side, just keep in a state of 'concentration' at all times." Kondo Hoon suggested.

But Kurapika shook his head and said, "There's no guarantee that only these two princes have this type of assassin by their side, so the best plan is to keep 'cold' at all times once you go out."

Yamazaki recovered.He blinked, looked at Kurapika and the others: "What's the matter? Did you get any clues?"

"Well, thanks to your ability." Kurapika thanked Yamazaki with a smile.

"That's great."

Seeing Yamazaki's smile, Kurapika, who was silent for a moment, still asked the question that he had been caring about since just now.

"That...why is the 'God of Inspection' a red bean bread?"

"Ale? Don't you know?" Yamazaki said as a matter of course, "Red bean bread is a sacrifice to the God of Supervision!"

"...Is that so?"

"Yes!"

"........."

I can't understand even if I ask.Kurapika finally decided to give up asking this question.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

In an instant, everyone's nerves were lifted.

"...It should be the first prince's guard."

"The first prince?"

"Yes... Before you came back, the first prince contacted us about Nian Beast. I am afraid he sent someone to monitor us."

"I see." Kondo nodded understandingly, "If that's the case, is there any inconvenience seeing us here?"

"No, it shouldn't matter. It can be regarded as the same reason..."

Before Kurapika finished speaking, Bill suddenly shouted and rushed out.

"Oh, it's really dangerous, huh!"

The maid who went to open the door was covered in blood and was grabbed by a tall man with a small knife stuck in her chest.

"He suddenly attacked me with a knife... There is no way, I can only... um, and then he packed up and held a small bottle that seemed to contain poison... um, um, it should be planning to Poison it! It's dangerous, it's dangerous! So, I boldly exercised my right of defense... Mmmm!"

"It's actually an assassin... Bill, protect the prince!!"

Before Kurapika finished speaking, Bill was already standing beside the princess and the baby.

Kurapika wanted to preemptively take down the assassin, but he didn't want him to pull out his gun.

"Oh yeah, it's really dangerous... Mmmm!" The man pointed his gun at Kurapika, "If you get any closer, I'll judge you as an accomplice who plans to kill Prince No.14 and exercise your right of defense. ……Uh-huh!"

Hearing this, Kurapika could only stop and stare at him warily.

Seeing that Kurapika really didn't move, the man smiled with satisfaction, "Hehehe, you're very knowledgeable about current affairs. Are you the one who called Kurapika just now?"

"That's right... As you pointed out, there are many people who want to murder the prince. From the perspective of motives, the most dangerous one is you."

"It's really surprising... Mmm, my purpose is to 'assist' you! I want to 'solve' the 'problems' that are happening here, can you please 'cooperate'... Mmm!"

The obvious subtext, if you don't cooperate, you will die.Kurapika could only feel the anger starting to burn non-stop.

Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder.Kurapika turned his face and saw Kondo Isao's understanding smile.

"I understand, so leave it to me!"

"Mr. Kondo..."

Kondo Hoon stepped forward, and the man's gun was aimed at him.

"Hey, didn't you understand what you said just now... Mmmm."

"Ah, there's something that bothers me so I want to ask."

"Oh... um, what's the matter?"

"What do you mean by 'hmm'?"

In an instant, neither this man nor Kurapika and the others were silent.

However, Isao Kondo seemed to have not noticed at all, and was still chattering endlessly.

"Ah, how should I put it... Wouldn't it be too long-winded to say that you are a language addict? You always say 'uh, huh, huh', to be honest, it's quite annoying! I made such a character on purpose Is it? Or who suggested it to you? Of course, I’m not talking about discrimination. After all, there’s a girl I know who likes to add “Alu” in the language. I just want to suggest a little bit, do you want to How about something a little more special? Like 'Gorilla' or something."

"Boss? Is it okay if the language addiction is 'gorilla'? Are you sure this is not a private establishment?" Yamazaki complained loudly from behind.

"No...Actually, if possible, I would also like to add this language fetish, but if I didn't add it for 30 years and suddenly added it, wouldn't you feel very proud, gorilla?"

"Added... If nothing happened, add language addiction!"

The man became angry from embarrassment.

"How dare you look down on me?!"

"No, no, how could it be!!" Kondo waved his hands again and again, "Yamazaki, hurry up and get some tea and snacks!"

"Ah, yes. For dim sum, can red bean buns be okay? I still have red bean buns here."

Saying that, Yamazaki really took out a red bean bread.

"Come on, please use..."

Yamazaki, who was about to give the red bean bun to the man, suddenly slipped, and he slammed the red bean bun on the man's face.

In this way, in a situation that no one expected, the man who was an assassin just passed out.
