Izawa Sugi had no idea about the chaos at the Hakka family, and he wouldn't care even if he knew.
Kurapika and Kirshtalia began to compete in the Sky Arena in earnest. Izawa Sugi took Alluka to do basic training and at the same time watched the three young boys study their elementary school textbooks. He played games, watched movies and followed TV series, and lived a very happy life.
The last time he came to this world, Izawa Sugi was working with Jin Fulishi on the realistic telekinesis game Greedy Island, and he also made copies of many Demon Slayer stories.
Back then, he was so busy making games for others that he completely forgot about experiencing the world's audio-visual entertainment culture. Now that he has plenty of time to make up for this, he naturally has a lot of fun playing and forgets everything else.
Most of Aruga's daily training is basic training in endurance, strength and physical strength. Only by laying a solid foundation can she have the capital to hone her skills in the future. Even if she uses some special means to improve her strength, her body can withstand it.
As everyone knows, the Hakka family has a big business and a butler to serve them. Alluka was also a spoiled child before. Although he made a great wish to practice hard and save Princess Killua from the great devil Silva, basic training is the most boring, and the nature of a child will still make him distressed, frustrated and tired.
Then it is natural and normal to distract yourself by watching a new anime while running on the treadmill, watching Izawa Sugi play a fist-to-flesh fighting game while squatting, watching Temple Escape while doing planks, etc.
In a 5v5 match between Izawa Sugi and his teammates, Alluka and Nanika watched the game with bated breath and concentration, to the point of forgetting the time. They even squatted in horse stance for an hour, which caused their calves to cramp. Even Kurapika, who was obsessed with the game, had nothing to say to Alluka.
"…When you train alone, your legs get sore after squatting for ten minutes, but when you watch a game live, you can squat for an hour. Lure fishing, in a way, you are pretty good."
Kurapika couldn't help but complain.
Kirshtalia was a little curious about Alga's daily life in the past.
"On the one hand, it's due to genetics, and on the other hand, it's definitely due to acquired conditioning. Luya must have eaten a lot of medicinal foods and special items to improve his physical fitness and stimulate his body's potential."
In order to adapt to the family's magic imprint, the magician's children need to undergo physical transformation surgery from an early age. The Kuluta family does not have such inheritance. Kirshtalia wants to make up for this, but it takes time to study and is currently just a fantasy.
If Kirshtalia could get relevant information from the family behind the lure, she could save a lot of time and energy.
But there is no rush at this stage. Right now, the Kuluta clan is too weak to be qualified to negotiate deals and cooperation with the family behind Luya.
Luya is only four years old. Twenty years later, Luya will be twenty-four years old. It is estimated that he has become a qualified and important family member with a certain say. And with twenty years of development, Kuluta must have a certain strength.
Kirshtalia thought that if he then approached Luya to discuss cooperation, the chances of success would be higher.
Kirshtalia was born in the Clock Tower, and he has an instinctive familiarity with the opportunities and changes in cooperation between families. Although he has already planned what will happen twenty years later in his mind, he does not show it on his face, and only reminds Alluga to watch her eyes.
"Don't overuse your eyes, or you'll become nearsighted."
Ize Shan felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. He himself didn't care about this problem, but he forgot that Alluka was only a four-year-old child and was still growing.
"Kil is right. Stop using the treadmill indoors and go outside for a run."
Alluka pouted.
He whispered to Izawa Shan: "Can I watch the recorded game?"
Ize Sugi said gently: "No, you can know the result of the game."
Alluka: Wuuuuuuuu.
Aruga was very sad, and Nanica was even sadder.
In the past, when they wanted to beat up their enemies, they could only play games such as lifting, hugging or kissing with their brothers and housekeepers, or play hide-and-seek in the woods.
Now that they have left home and seen the more illusory and exciting online world, it is inevitable that children will become addicted to the Internet.
If Alluka can only cry, then Nanica can force Izawa Sugi.
—If you don’t let her watch the game, then give her something to eat, like the apples she gave you last time.
"Give me an apple."
Nanika reached out to Ize Shan pitifully.
Ize Shan: “No!”
Nanika:?
Ize Shan thought that if Nanika was short of energy, he could give it to her; but if she wanted to exchange energy for playing games, that would absolutely not work!
We must not let Nanica have the illusion that he equates coercion with games.
Alluka was a little at a loss, and even glanced at Kurapika subconsciously.
Kurapika noticed Alluka's confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
Alluka bit her lip.
“Give me a banana.”
Izawa Sugi: “No.”
Kirshtalia, who was looking at the data of the technique that Kurapika had recently calculated, noticed something.
He grabbed Kurapika who was trying to get closer to Alluka and whispered, "Is this some kind of ceremony?"
Kurapika: "What?"
Kirshtalia: "Magic requires preparation and chanting of spells in advance. Luya may be doing something similar."
While the two brothers were talking, Izawa Sugi refused the third request. Alluka was really panicked, but rules are rules. He was about to cry, and the last sentence of the request even had a tearful tone in his voice.
But Ize Sugi still refused.
The moment he said no, there was a bang, and Izawa Sugi's body seemed to explode and fell to the ground.
Alluka and Nanica's voices were choked with tears, and they stared blankly at the "bugs" crawling all over the floor.
Kurapika almost jumped up: "Sir!!"
Kirshtalia grabbed Kurapika's arm and looked at Alluka with a serious expression: "A power that can kill you?"
Golden, translucent, and variously shaped insects were flying and crawling around in the air, but soon several vines rose up and gathered these insects. Then, gorgeous and beautiful wisteria flowers bloomed on these vines, and the fragrance of the flowers filled the entire room.
After the flowers bloomed and fell, the petals scattered, the golden [bug] disappeared, and the previous chaotic group of things re-condensed into the person of Izawa Sugi.
Izawa Sugi, who reappeared, didn't look too good.
Aruka threw herself into Izawa Sugi's arms and started crying, sobbing and scaring him to death!
"No wonder Mom and Dad locked Nanika up..."
It’s a good thing that my uncle didn’t die, but what if it was the family who beat up the enemy?
Aluka didn't dare to think about it.
Nanika pouted and whispered, "Uncle, you bad boy, you bad boy."
It was obvious that she could have fulfilled her request, and her uncle clearly had no problem with her request, but she refused and even scared Alluga into crying. What a bad guy!
Izawa Sugi touched Alluka's head and felt the state of the [worm] inside her body. He realized that something was wrong. The rules of Nanica inside Alluka's body seemed to be different from what he knew.
To be precise, Nanica in this world was not well guided like Mia, and grew up wildly, so the rules were more punitive and coercive.
Izawa Sugi looked at Alluka and said, "Stop crying and tell me what's going on. The rule I know is that even if you refuse, you will be charged a price, but you shouldn't involve others. Why did you force me to do it? The price is not only the one who forced it, but also the others."
The reason why Ize Shan dared to refuse Nanika's request was because he could afford it.
Due to his previous experience as a British priest, he has a new form of loose worms.
At that time, the shrine maiden was divided into very small parts. In order to piece the scattered body together as a whole, Izawa Sugi had to devote part of his attention to controlling the body at all times, which led to his mastery of the ability to disperse the overall consciousness and switch with the [insect].
Although the cause and effect of this new form are beyond his comprehension and he cannot look directly at it, there are also advantages to being in a loose form. For example, when he failed to force Nika just now, Izawa Sugi just pushed out a [Bug] to pay the price for him.
[Insects] do not die, they only hibernate. Sometimes, [Insects] themselves will even fall into a deep hibernation of hundreds of years.
Moreover, each [insect] has a rule that corresponds to Nanika, just as there are countless creatures similar to Nanika in Ize Shan's body. Ize Shan uses [insects] to pay the price, which can easily reduce the difficulty of Nanika's coercion to the lowest level.
As a result, after forcing it this time, Ize Shan discovered that there were not one insect sleeping but two.
Ize Shan felt that he was at a great loss for forcing two special rules to match each other, so he might as well just give Nanika some energy to fill his stomach.
Aluka sobbed and said, "Mom did a test. You can't refuse Nanica's demands. If you refuse more than four times, the person being forced will die immediately, and the person who has the best relationship with the deceased will also die. A failed demand will kill at least two people."
"At most, there is no upper limit on the number of deaths, and it extends outwards in order of the length of time spent with the deceased."
At this point, the child suddenly realized something. He said excitedly, "Uncle, how did you survive? If mom and dad knew how to do it, they would accept Nanika as a family member!!"
Ize Shan said unhappily: "They can't learn it!"
Alluka was stunned. What? Can't learn? Mom and Dad are too bad, right?
Kirshtalia, who had been watching, suddenly asked, "What will you get if you fulfill the forced ritual?"
Alluka tilted her head and thought for a moment before answering, "You can make a wish. Basically, any wish is fine."
Kurapika was shocked. "Make a wish? Santa Claus?"
Kirshtalia first thought of the Far Eastern Holy Grail ritual her teacher had mentioned, and then she suddenly became excited.
"Can you really have any wish you want?"
He handed Alluka the simplified Jade Throne Arms technique that Kurapika had calculated earlier to absorb magic power, and asked expectantly, "Can you give me a set of technique arrays suitable for the Kurata tribe that absorbs life force based on this?"
Alluka: “…”
The child slowly lowered his head and looked at the heavenly script on the draft, "Uh, this..."
"Or can you get me all the astrology-related documents that are currently known to be hidden in the world and from all dynasties?"
Kirshtalia, who usually had a calm expression and rarely showed any major emotional fluctuations, became visibly excited.
"I need to reshape the zodiac, redraw the star map, match the constellations in the sky with the celestial magic I master, and summarize the laws of planetary motion based on tens of thousands of years of literature records. The most basic thing is to calculate the age difference of our planet."
His speech speed increased, and his words became sharper. "There's something wrong with the current known map of the world!"
"I started recording the star charts of the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, when I was four years old. I calculated the rotation speed of our planet based on the position and frequency of the same star's appearance. I then calculated the planet's inclination based on the rotation speed and the plane of the zodiac. I then combined this with other data to extrapolate. The current continental map of the entire world is incomplete!"
"The planet we live on should be at least ten times larger than the known map!"
Kirshtalia's eyes lit up frighteningly. "So, Luya, can you give me a real map of the entire planet?"
Ize Shan looked at Kirshtalia in surprise.
The humans in this world live on a small island in the middle of Lake Mobius. The dark continent outside is the true face of the planet. Unexpectedly, Kirshtalia discovered this truth with the help of celestial magic. How amazing.
Alluka: “…”
He silently poked at the Nanika deep in his consciousness.
"Nanika, can you do this?"
Nanika: “…”
She curled up into a ball with a wronged look on her face, turned her butt towards Alluga, and held up a sign that said: You can't see me.
Alluka: “…”
