!D! PROLONGED YEARNING *ೃ hxh

✧･17: DUSK UPON FAREWELLS

After several practices, it has been a whole week. Now Meiru is a fly that sticks to me like glue, an airhead of a nuisance. He keeps on telling us how cute our nieces and nephews would be one-day. But I could agree.

"Wait if Jaiya's hair color is white and Meryl's hair color is black.. will the babies have half black and white hair??"

"Sometimes I don't even know if you're studying to be a doctor, moreover become a disease hunter. Do you not know chromosomes?"

"Hey, I am studying aight! Chromo what? "

"Sure.. Chromosomes. It's basic logic, the dominant chromosome, which is Meryl's, is going to be the genetics of the baby most of the time. Which is black hair. Although if their children conceived a child there'll be pink hair of about twenty-five percent. Correct me if I'm wrong, though I don't think you can."

Meiru's head started to combust due to the intake of information. I started to laugh and tease him about it.

"You know I'm glad we got a bit close." he smiled at me, "Of course not in a lovey-dovey way! I have my own lover!"

"Wow did not expect that."

"Rude as always."

Caine called us up, it appears that both of us 'graduated' from our skills. He ruffles our hair, making us both whine. Laughing in response, I'm sure I have gotten attached to the two males.

"You two, be careful. Remember what I have taught you."

"No need to remind me, I got it all sort out."

Meiru dismisses, "Overconfident much?"

"Worrying much?"

Caine clapped his hands and started to get all mushy, "My two babies are growing up!"

"Ew/Ew!!" we both say at the same time.

Likewise, we three bid farewells to each other and it's time to head to the Kurasamas.

︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

After transporting from Glam Gas Land to the Republic of West Gorteau, where the Kurasama Mansion is located, the whole duration was 4 days and a half. I first looked for a restaurant to dine in since it has been a while since eating others' cooked food.

I ordered a Chanko Nabe, or so called Sumo Stew, I pulled out a credit card from my wallet and gave it to the cashier. While waiting for the soup to arrive, I overheard some women talking loudly.

"That waiter was soo hot! I wish we could be I wanna get his phone numberrr" a red-haired woman said.

A blonde woman spoke up, "You go, girl!"

Unbeknownst to the women, the waiter was behind them, and "Excuse me here are your orders, one onigiri, and one miso soup."

The waiter's name tag was put on 'Chinoka', are they somehow related to Meiru and Meryl? I shouldn't intrude.

The red-headed female suddenly shot up from her seat, and the other customers and waiter were shocked, even her friend at their table.

"May I get your number!?" The waiter's sweat dropped at her statement.

"I'm sorry but I believe this is really unprofessional for me and you. Plus don't pick up people just for their looks honey," he picked up her chin, "or you're the one who's going to suffer."

He finished with the most inexpressive face, making the female gulp and slap the waiter, and then ran out of the restaurant. Her friend apologized for her immature behavior while paying and taking out the meals. The waiter stood there, trying to process what happened.

I silently chuckled at the idiocy displayed at the scene, while others whispered around. Chinoka snapped his head in my direction and I immediately knew his suspicion towards me.

He gave out malice and bloodlust just a bit, most amateur nen users won't notice the slight change in the aura. So he is a nen user huh, an experienced one.

"Your order is a Chanko Nabe or Sumo Stew if I'm correct?" he put on a professional smile.

"That's correct, and also," I leaned into his ear, "do pay attention to your exertion of bloodlust. It's quite easy to detect."

His eyes widened, and faked a cough, he excused himself but before that, I spoke up on behalf of my curiosity.

"Do you perhaps know Meiru and Meryl?" I put on a sickening grin just to mess with him. Just pay back with the malice he gave.

"What?" he spat with diluted irises.

I sipped on my soup, "You're not good at hiding your emotions, honey."

He kept asking questions (more on rambling) about how I know his brothers, his slight exertion of bloodlust, and what I needed. Although I needed nothing, I just wanted to mess him up since he got too suspicious of me.

He slammed the table while placing a glass of water, "Here's your water. Now tell."

I offered him the seat in front of me and he did so. "So first, how did you know my brothers."

"I met Meryl through my sister's encounter with him."

"So you have a sibling?"

"Don't you dare place your filthy hands on her."

"I rather not touch anyone, it's extremely unsanitary."

"Excellent response. You may continue."

All the customers eventually left the restaurant leaving the third Chinoka brother. We keep on talking, he was quite relaxing to converse with. He slightly reminds me of someone.

"I think I've been really formal and all," he offered his hand, "I'm Meriol Chinoka, the oldest of the Chinoka Brothers."

I shook his outstretched hand, "Oh please, who am I to judge you on that. Pleased to meet you, the name's F/N L/N."

We both smiled and packed up our belongings, "I'm sorry about the malice I left out earlier, it was rude of me."

"Don't worry. You did a fairly good job at being cautious about everything. But maybe lessen the slight exertion of malice. It blows out your location too."

"Noted Miss."

"Are you trying to mock me?"

He laughed and shook his head, "Anyway just call me by name, suit yourself between the two."

"Hm, how about F/N-san?"

"Much better than Miss."

"Haha, that's cute."

"Can't say the same thing for you though."

"Rude!!"

Dusk finally fell upon us, the moon and stars shown so bright. Meriol's grin was just as bright, almost like Gon's. Oh, how I wish I could see the four right now.

"So you have a lover?"

"So that's where Meiru got his stupidity from."

"Audacious!!"

"Do you even know the word?"

"Of course! It defines as..."

"As?"

"F/N L/N."

"So tactless."
