Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Chapter 17: Living together (2)

Celluloid's life is repeated every day when she works, studies, buys and cooks food, and then goes to work again.

During the study in the library, Celluloid still read books by herself and wrote down the questions she didn’t understand. The only difference was that Kurapika took an hour every day to answer the questions for Celluloid, so the study that was not going well was also there. Rapid progress with the help of Kurapika.

As Cellulu felt at the beginning, Kurapika has a good mind. After actually studying with him, he can feel this more clearly. He has extensive knowledge and has a wide range of books, so his knowledge is quite extensive. . No matter what question Celluloid asks, he can cite scriptures and other sources to explain the various schools and viewpoints involved in the problem, and occasionally add a little bit of his own thoughts, and sometimes expand along with Celluloid’s problems. In other respects, while solving her own problems, Celluloid also learned a lot of knowledge other than non-problems. Although his answer may sound a little lacking in practical and emotional feelings, the theoretical knowledge alone has already made Celluloid. Lu has benefited a lot, and it can be said that Kurapika is a living encyclopedia.

Sometimes when she looks at Kurapika, Cellulu also thinks of another person who gives her the impression of being knowledgeable, that is Mr. Jin whom she met in the forest. Cellulu compares Kurapika and Kim in private, and finds that. Although the two are very knowledgeable, if Kurapika is a theoretical school, then Jin belongs to the combination of theory and practice. Many answers to the questions show that Jin has a deeper insight and a broader focus. Perhaps It's because Kim has experienced a lot of things himself. However, Cellulu believes that Kurapika is just too young, and with time, he will be as successful as Mr. Jin, not just limited to theoretical knowledge.

But at least one thing is certain, that is, both of them are very patient and well-mannered people. Even if Cellulu sometimes asks naive questions, neither Kim nor Kurapika will laugh at her. She was still explaining it to Cellulo carefully.

Jin has the tolerance that is unique to adults and the tolerance that has seen the world, and although Kurapika is not like Jin, because occasionally Kurapika can be seen from time to time she will show incredible surprise to some of her questions. , obviously didn't understand why Celluloid didn't know, but good upbringing, politeness, and thoughtfulness still prompted him to answer patiently and carefully one by one.

She has been living like this every day for more than a month. After reading a lot of books and listening to Kurapika's explanation, Cellulo is no longer completely unfamiliar with the situation in this world. I just don’t know if it’s a tacit understanding with each other or for other reasons. The two just carried out a question-and-answer teaching life, but they never talked about other things. It is not the person who actively seeks out the situation of the other party.

This kind of life was about to end one afternoon. As usual, after asking the question, Celluloid was about to leave, but Kurapika stopped her.

"Cellulu, I want to tell you something, I'm leaving the city in two days, so I don't think we can continue with our studies, I'm sorry." Kurapika She looked at Celluloid apologetically.

"Ah? Kurapika, aren't you from Cohen?" Cellulu was stunned. She always thought Kurapika was from Cohen. After all, the other party came to the library to report every day, but now he was suddenly told that he was leaving the city. .

"I'm not from Cohen, I just came here because some of the materials I'm looking for are in the city's library. Now that things are almost over here, it's time to leave and go elsewhere."

Kurapika explained with a smile, then frowned slightly, looking at Celluloid hesitantly,

"However, your business is a problem, or I will find a way to help you find someone to guide you in the next few days."

"Ah, don't bother you so much. Thanks to your help for more than a month, I have understood a lot, and I will have no problem even if I study alone, and if there is something I don't understand, I will find someone to ask myself. Thank you so much for your trouble." Cellulu waved her hand quickly and said that Kurapika has already helped her a lot, so she can't cause him any more trouble.

"Is it really okay?" Kurapika still looked at Cellulo with a worried expression.

"Yes, no problem at all, by the way, is Kurapika traveling around?" Cellulu didn't want Kurapika to struggle with this matter, so she changed the subject and asked the other party's private affairs for the first time. .

"Well, because I have something I have to do, in order to do it, I have to make a lot of preparations, so I will travel around," Kurapika's face suddenly changed when he heard Cellulu's question. It has changed, the calm is mixed with solemnity, the light of determination is shining in the eyes, the voice is as clear as ice, and it contains a kind of determination without turning back.

The moment Kurapika opened her mouth, a feeling of depression and extreme cramping suddenly flashed in Cellulu's heart. That was not her emotion. Looking at Kurapika, it should have been his mood passed on to her. Lapika's tone and expression were calm when he spoke, but obviously his heart was tumbling like a stormy sea on the contrary, otherwise, Celluloid, who was not very familiar with Kurapika and did not use any abilities, should not be able to. can be felt so easily.

Feeling the depression, pain and intense anger, hatred, and extreme sadness that came from Kurapika.

"Is it revenge?" Cellulu, who had felt this kind of mood, murmured involuntarily, what Kurapika had to do.

"How do you know?" Kurapika was startled, looked at Cellulo, and blurted out subconsciously, the next second, a wry smile appeared,

"Am I that obvious? You can tell at a glance that what I want to do is revenge."

"Ah, no," Cellulu felt embarrassed when she realized that she had said it just now, glanced at Kurapika, didn't know how to explain it, thought about it, and then replied:

"I'm just guessing, because when you talk about what you have to do, although your expression and tone are very calm, usually what you have to do is not your dream, life planning, or revenge. And so on, but if it is a dream, your tone is too calm, there is no excitement, no longing, so I guess it may be revenge, sorry, I just guessed."

"So it is." After Kurapika heard Cellullu's explanation, he obviously agreed. His expression was not as calm as before, with a faint hint of sadness and hatred that was invisible.

"For revenge, I have to become stronger, so I travel everywhere, and when the time is ripe, I will do it."

As she said this, Kurapika clenched her fists tightly and looked at Celluloid firmly, wondering if it was her illusion, Kurapika's blue eyes seemed to flash a tinge of red for a moment, no matter how thin it was. When he saw it, he disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Kurapika's expression, Cellulu sighed and didn't know what to say. Although the two had known each other for more than a month, she had no idea about Kurapika's situation because they didn't talk about their private life. The first time she asked about his personal affairs, she encountered the other party's injury, and it was the worst thing for outsiders to intervene in revenge. Now, no matter what she said, she would have a deep sense of friendship. Lulu is in a bit of a dilemma.

What's more, in her heart, she doesn't want to say anything about revenge at all. Whether revenge is good or bad, there is no absolutely correct choice. For her, whether it is to encourage the other party to take revenge or persuade him to let go of hatred, It's an irresponsible approach, because all ideas are from her own standpoint and point of view, with a strong subjectivity, but Xilulu doesn't want to arbitrarily express her opinions on other people's lives, and she doesn't want to speak for others. She doesn't know what the actual situation is, but if she doesn't say something now, it seems a little inhumane. Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, in the end, Celluloid is still struggling. squeezed out a sentence,

"No matter what you will do in the future, as long as it is determined by your heart. It is what you think is the most important thing to you, and if you will not regret what you did even if you think about it later, you will follow your own decision. Go on."

Such ambiguous words seemed to be encouragement in Kurapika's ears. He nodded slightly to Celluloid, his face still solemn.

"Well, I'll do my best."

"No~", I'm not encouraging you to take revenge. Cellulu, who wanted to go on, stopped when she saw Kurapika's firm eyes. She can understand what she just said, since Kurapika regarded it as a Encouragement, it shows that the other person's heart is thinking so. So Cellulu just looked at Kurapika in silence and said goodbye.

Walking out of the library, on the way to buy groceries, Cellulu thought that Kurapika would be leaving in two days. She wondered whether she should send something to thank him for teaching him for a month. The value is the five Tilans, but it's better not to pass on the things sent by others. Then she had to go buy a gift, but she didn't know Kurapika's likes, so she could give anything, what if the other party didn't like it, Cellulu thought in distress, and finally decided to give a handkerchief. After all, a handkerchief is a daily necessities, and there is always a place for it, but in order to show her sincerity, she plans to embroider some flowers on it.

Do it as soon as she thinks of it. After all, time is running out. After Cellulu finished shopping, she went to buy pure white handkerchiefs and needles of various colors.

Spreading out the pure white handkerchief, Cellulu began to think about what would be better to embroider. Kurapika gave her the impression that she was a calm and noble boy with strong self-control. Maybe the equally noble chrysanthemum would be more suitable for him, right? With that in mind, Celluloid decided to embroider a spirea.

In fact, she is not good at embroidery. Some of the worlds that she has been to are similar to ancient China. In that kind of world, the status of women is quite low, making a living is difficult, and there is very little work that can be done, but They are odd jobs like maids and laundry workers. The wages of laundry workers are too low, and maids are too risky. Moreover, most maids in ancient times were bought out, which did not fit her situation. Therefore, after some comparisons, The time arrangement is relatively free, the embroidery girl who has less contact with outsiders and has a higher salary has become her living goal. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and Celluloid has a lot of time. It's perfect, which makes her life a lot easier after going to a similar world.

In the last few days, while trying to pick out the things she didn't understand and ask Kurapika, Cellulu worked hard to embroider the chrysanthemum, and finally finished it before Kurapika left.

Before leaving, Cellulu offered to say goodbye to Kurapika, but Kurapika, who wanted to refuse, finally agreed with Cellulo's strong insistence.

Standing in the waiting room, Cellulu gratefully bowed to Kurapika and gave a serious salute, then took out the handkerchief and handed it forward, and said solemnly:

"Kurapica, thank you for your teaching for more than a month. Now that we have to part, I have nothing to give, so I stabbed a chrysanthemum and embroidered it on the handkerchief. It is a little thank you, please accept it. "

On the folded square handkerchief held in both hands, a dazzling golden chrysanthemum, Hao Ran, was entrenched in the middle, lifelike and ingenious.

"Ah! Did you embroider this? It's so beautiful." Looking at the delicate chrysanthemum on the handkerchief with admiration, Kurapika looked at Cellulu in surprise. After taking the handkerchief, Kurapika smiled slightly:

"You're welcome, but as your heart, I will accept it with the cheek. Thank you, I will cherish it." Putting away the handkerchief, after hesitating for a while, Kurapika also took out one from his clothes. The note, handed to Celluloid,

"This is my special line contact number. If you have any questions in the future, you can send me an email or something, and I will try my best to reply."

Kurapika looked at Celluloid with a sincere look on his face. The more than a month of getting along with him did not leave any traces at all. Although they seldom mentioned their personal affairs, Kurapika had an impression of Celluloid. It's still pretty good, so I'm willing to make her as a friend.

"Okay, thank you, Kurapika, but I don't have a mobile phone right now. I'll give you my contact information when I have one." Cellulu took Kurapika's contact number by surprise. , she had no idea that he would still be willing to continue dating, but then Cellulu smiled and replied happily.

"Then, I'm leaving, Cellulu, I'm very happy to meet you, we'll meet again if it's fate, you have to take care!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Kurapika said goodbye to Cellulu with a smile.

"Well, I'm also very happy to meet you, Kurapika, you also have to take care and have a smooth journey!" Cellulu looked back at Kurapika sincerely, and wished her heartfelt blessings, no matter whether there will be a time to meet again in the future, At least she hoped that the boy in front of her would be all right.

Nodding with a smile, Kurapika turned around and entered the platform behind him. After a while, he disappeared into the crowd and could no longer be seen.

Cellulu froze for a while, then turned around and left.

Life after parting with Kurapika is no different, except that there is less personal presence in the library, other things are still the same. She also returned to the state of self-study, but with the previous month's guidance and hard study, now her mastery of words has improved a lot, and her understanding of the world is also much clearer, and she is no longer as reluctant as a month ago when reading books .
