A sequel to my first story 'Neferpitou and the human Royal Guard.' Like with the previous fanfic, the description and title was recently deleted somehow and I can't remember what exactly I put here. Also, I'm not too fond of this one for multiple r...
In the aftermath of the invasion at the old palace in East Gorteau, King Meruem has agreed to the proposal of moving our base of operations so that we may rebuild the kingdom with as little interference as possible. Seeing as this land is currently unclaimed by any government, it is the most ideal location for us to rebuild. Though, I do worry about further attacks from either the Zoldycks, Phantom Troupe (assuming any of them survived), and the Hunter Association. For now, we will have to make due with what we currently have, even despite the fact that some of the survivors went their own separate ways. Welfin, Bloster, and Hina's unnamed friend have all left to find a better life elsewhere. Surprisingly, Zazan has decided to stick around with the group. I was certain she would have left to try to become a queen again. Thankfully she hasn't, as we will be needing Pike's abilities to properly rebuild in this area, and he likely won't want to stick around if Zazan leaves. Speaking of Pike, he is already hard at work spinning webs around what is to be our new castle, while the rest of the lower ranked chimera ants are out hunting any humans who try to dump their trash in the province, that being Cheetu, Hollow, Bat, Hina, and Zazan. Pitou and Pouf are at the King's side while he and Komugi search for a Gungi board and some pieces among all this trash around. Youpi, Professor Jovesworth, and I are at the coast catching some fish to help feed the group. Oh, and Bizeff is here... somewhere. I dunno, I don't care to pay attention to him. Didn't when working under Diego, not gonna start now.
"I hate this..." I hear Youpi groan.
Jovesworth attempts to cheer him up, looking good in his conjured fisher's hat. "Chin up, my boy. I know you are not happy with your... current physical state of being, but you are still being useful to King Meruem this way!"
Youpi sighs. "Yeah yeah... Just not the way I'm used to. I'm supposed to be the King's shield, yet now I'm barely able to take on a rat..."

"You might regain your form someday, ya never know. Besides, you were the best shield King Meruem could have asked for, you gave him a large part of yourself so you could protect him from death." I chime in.
Youpi just looks down, still depressed, but not knowing what to say anymore. We all share a moment of silence for a minute, not wanting to make Youpi dwell on his situation. After another minute or two, we are struck with good fortune...
"Huh?" Youpi questions as his lure sinks below the surface of the water.
"It seems you got a bite, chum! Now reel it in, chop chop!" Jovesworth encourages.
Youpi tries to reel the fish in, but the reel won't doesn't seem to want to retract. "Hnrgh!"
"C'mon Youpi! You got this!" I tell him.
With one last mighty pull, he yanks a giant bass out of the water, easily the same size he used to be when he was whole.
