Kapitel 9: An Excellent Deal
While Loki was focusing on practicing his manipulation of black light, the others were enjoying the delicious food they had never been able to eat while living in Meteor City.
Nobunaga and Machi did not forget to give some evaluation to Loki while they were eating.
"This food is delicious!" said Nobunaga, while Machi nodded in agreement.
Uvogin didn't seem to have time to pay attention to what Nobunaga and Machi were saying. Uvogin was eating a giant turkey leg on his third plate of food.
After three bites, over half of the turkey leg was gone as Uvogin continued to show his unusually aggressive eating.
Soon under this aggressive eating method, all of the meat was gone. Still, Uvogin did not let go of even the bones with his extraordinary bite.
Seeing this, Loki was somewhat shocked. Although the bone Uvogin had eaten was, in reality, black rice, it was strengthened by his black light to simulate a natural bone.
It would seem that although he didn't have the force to bite off half of a skull like in the future, it wasn't too far off.
Uvogin, who was obviously very satisfied with his food but extremely full, made a refreshing sound as he slapped his belly after eating the last turkey leg.
Nobunaga and Machi were also extremely full at this time; however, they wanted to continue to eat.
This was the food they may not have had a chance to eat again.
"It's the most delicious piece of steak I have ever eaten," Nobunaga said, satisfied.
Uvogin, who heard this, let out a loud voice.
"The way you say it makes it sound like you have eaten it before."
Nobunaga glared at him and said, "It's because I haven't eaten it before, so it tastes the best!"
In any case, they were all extremely satisfied with the food as they all thanked Loki.
After a while, Loki dispelled his black light, and everything returned to normal. They all looked around to find that what they had actually been eating was the black rice that tasted horrible.
Although they were somewhat shocked, it didn't bother them much, and they soon started to stand up.
As they stood up, Uvogin walked up and put his hand on Loki. Although it should have been hard to stand up too quickly, their digestive systems were solid.
"Anyway, thanks for the food; I recognize you as a friend!" Uvogin said while he glanced at the food and the grand dining hall they were still in.
A slight smirk found its way to Loki's face. He slowly took off the mask he had been wearing since waking up and putting it down.
His calculative gold eyes stared at him as his short dirty white hair hung down over his face a bit. A rough smile soon found its way to Uvogin's face.
"I understand why Machi let you stay here; if it was me, I would hope you would stay as well."
Saying this, his face slowly turned a bit serious, and he asked immediately.
"May I ask, how can you do all of this? Of course, it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient for you."
Hearing this, Machi and Nobunaga also looked over with a curious look in their eyes.
"This is not convenient, nor is it inconvenient…." Loki said with a smile.
This smile was slightly mischievous but also sincere, as he could tell Uvogin was being sincere.
Loki had no doubt that if he said it was really inconvenient, Uvogin would never continue to ask questions.
Seeing this reminded him a lot of his friends when he was a hitman and his smile became a bit brighter.
"I can do this only because of Nen…."
Hearing this made Machi's heart move slightly as Loki mentioned the term again. As for Uvogin and Nobunaga…
"Where did I hear this word?" Uvogin said with his arms folded around his chest while frowning.
Nobunaga also seemed to be in deep thought before his eyes lit up.
"Oh, I remember it now," he said as he clapped his hands.
"I remember Chrollo said it."
"Chrollo?" Uvogin said.
"You're right. I remember that two days ago, Chrollo had inquired about some information from that old elder which seemed to include Nen," he said.
Hearing this, Loki's eyes went somewhat thoughtful.
"It should be the future head of the Phantom Troupe…. Chrollo Lucifer. As for the elder, he got this information from… Could it be the one that injured me?" he thought as his eyes became more ruthless before calming down.
Machi was also slightly surprised; apparently, she also knew Chrollo before this. Uvogin, however, looked at Loki with even greater interest.
"You also know nen Loki? I heard that this is the power that the elders use!" he said, looking at Loki with scorching eyes.
"Can you teach this kind of power to us?"
"Hey, Uvogin, you're being too sudden!" Nobunaga scolded Uvogin, but he would glance at Loki from time to time.
Although trying to hide it, it was apparent he was also curious and eager for this kind of power.
This did not even mention how curious Machi was. Originally Loki was going to tell her about nen as thanks for picking him up. Still, Uvogin and the others interrupted as he was about to start.
When Uvogin and Nobunaga showed up, Loki somewhat altered his thoughts. Seeing them looking at him with hopeful glances, Loki now showed a smirk.
"Sure, I can teach you."
When the two of them showed, he developed the idea of teaching all three of them nen. Although they would most likely learn it in the future, teaching them now could give them a head start.
Using the basic knowledge of Nen that they would soon learn in return for a favor from Machi, Uvogin, and Nobunaga was an excellent deal.
What's more, Uvogin, Nobunaga, and Machi will all become strong nen users in the future. It would be good to have a better relationship with them now.
Hearing this answer, Uvogin and the others were shocked.
This was a magical power, and even the elders were unwilling to teach this, but Loki was willing?!
Nobunaga and Machi were startled, but Uvogin smiled and opened his mouth to speak.
"Hahaha… Loki, I have to say you're definitely to my taste! From now on, if anyone finds trouble with you, come and find me, and I will deal with him!!" Uvogin said with a laugh.
Although he said it with a laugh, the serious expression in his eyes showed that he was not joking, and Loki could obviously see this.
Uvogin passed over a now somewhat broken chair and wiped some of the dust off.
"Come sit down and tell us, Loki!" he said with a smile.
Loki seeing this, decided to make a small joke.
"Aren't you going to the garbage piles to turn things over? Shouldn't we wait until later…" he said.
Seeing this, Machi laughed a bit before they all calmed down.
Soon Loki started clearing his throat, getting ready to explain to them.
"Nen is the ability used by people called Hunter's…."
