Chapter 88 One day with friends

The town had a big festival on the second day ----- actually the town's first anniversary ----- so when Kurapika and Kuroro went to the decided hotel, the room was already fully booked .They found a very expensive suite not far away. The room was simple, clean and comfortable, but there was no space for the four men to stand or sit. After a while they all walked to Kurapika's bedroom, Kurapika Lolo sat in the corner reading a book quietly, while the other three chatted together.

The boys gathered suddenly fell silent, and then laughed together, and Gang's smile became a little embarrassed.

Qi Ya snickered aside.

"Are you hungry?" Kurapika asked.

"Hungry." Gang said, stroking the back of his head, "Actually, very, very hungry."

Kurapika stood up and said, "Me too, shall we go out for lunch now?"

As soon as the words fell, Kurapika paused, and he suddenly realized that he didn't know whether Kuroro would be welcomed, but now, no matter how he felt, he was used to doing everything with the spider leader, but Nor would it be entirely reassuring to see those two young friends so close to the dangerous Kurapika, especially given their confrontation with the brigade in Ukshin City.

His eyes drifted to the man, and he was surprised to find that he was looking at him.They looked at each other in silence for a while, then Kuroro looked away at the book in his hand.

"I'm comfortable staying here," Kuroro said to Kurapika, eyes still on the book. "Go and have fun, I'll just call the hotel service. Rest and books sound like I'd be happy." A wonderful afternoon, I'm sure you have a lot to say to your friends, and I'm only going to inconvenience you by following you."

Kurapika breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt an awkward unease.He didn't mean to reject Kuroro's company explicitly, Kurapika felt a little guilty watching him let him go out and he felt very happy, but he nodded anyway.

"Okay." Kurapika said pretending to be nonchalant, "If you need anything, send me a message. I'm not sure when I'll be back."

He followed Gang and Qiya out of the room and walked to the elevator at the end of the corridor.Kurapika was alone in thought, and when they reached the ground, he realized that his two friends were watching him.

"Yes?" Kurapika asked just as the lift door opened, "What's wrong?"

Kiya shrugged and turned to step out of the elevator, but Gang stayed where he was.

"You look better," Gang commented. "Better than the last time we saw you, you're feeling...less angry and happier than ever."

After saying that, the kid in green turned and walked out of the lift, leaving Kurapika staring behind him.It was only when the elevator doors closed that Kurapika's sanity came back, and he walked out of the lobby to follow his friend, but still felt only his body was moving, his mind still seemed to be frozen and remained in the elevator.

He looks happier?

……happy? !

Kurapika had been slowly grasping his feelings for the Spider-Boss, but this recent revelation took him by surprise.

They found a restaurant and sat down around a small round table.The three young boys kept chatting about the town of Iono, about tomorrow's festival, about the hunter's license that Kiya had just acquired.Every once in a while, Kiya's eyes would always look at Kurapika, Gang had already expressed his thoughts, so he didn't think any more.

Kurapika tried his best to look at the menu board for as long as possible, he was pretending to look at the food on it, but actually couldn't bear to look at it, but his actions seemed not to be noticed by the other two boys.

In the end, Kurapika gave up. He chose the first meal that seemed to be a good one and closed the menu.

"Really?" Kurapika said. "I actually look happier?"

Gang didn't even hesitate, he immediately said, "You are!"

Kiya looked at Kurapika silently, he sighed and looked away.

"I guess so," the silver-haired boy murmured, looking visibly uncomfortable.

Kurapika relaxed in a way, he didn't know why, but he felt that Gang and Kira's affirmation shouldn't have given him relief.

But suddenly, he suddenly realized.

Gang and Kiya just confirmed the feelings that had been tormenting him for the past few months.

Kuroro might have been the worst traveling companion he'd ever met, but now he's caught, he's sunk, like a moth to a flame -- no, he's like a moth to a spider's web.

This is his current situation, yet Kurapika finds that he doesn't care about being caught by the spider, Gang and Kiya's sympathy makes him feel better, this moth is not as desperate as the spider thinks.

The waiter came over to write down their lunch order, keeping Kurapika from brooding alone.After the waiter left, all three remained silent.

"So, what's your plan?" Chiya asked, breaking the silence.

"Sorry?" Kurapika asked subconsciously.

"The plan." Qi Ya insisted: "The plan to punish that man, you have already planned it, right?"

Kurapika slowly looked back and forth between Gang and Kiya, running through the different possibilities, all the good and the bad, in his mind.

"I have a plan," Kurapika admits, "but I don't know the details, so I want to keep most of it private, but there are places where people can help."

"We'll help you!" Gunma assured, "Right, Kita?"

"Um, ahhh." Chiya replied, looking a little uncomfortable, pouring water from his glass. "We're friends, aren't we? What do you want us to do?"

The waiter came back with coffee and juice, he stopped the conversation between the three for a while, and gave Kurapika a moment to think, he didn't want Gang and Kiya to put them in danger when they were helping.

As the waiter left, Kurapika slowly explained his plans for the next few weeks, telling him what information he thought he could reveal so as not to risk reaching the ears of the Spider Chief.

When the waiter returned with their order, Kiya leaned back in his chair and whistled softly.

"You?" he said, looking at Kurapika. "Totally crazy."

"It's feasible!" Gang disagreed with Qiya: "It can be successful, we can do it."

Kiya opened his mouth to say something, and Kurapika, who knew the two kids, knew that the silver-haired boy wanted to protest, but then Gang looked at Kurapika.

"Am I right?"

Qi Ya immediately let out a discouraged sigh.

"It's a crazy plan," he grumbled, "but I guess it's doable."

"We can't let you be part of the brigade," Gang said, with a very serious look on his face. "Really not."

"I won't." Kurapika assured them.

"But you still kinda like that guy, don't you?" Kiya asked, his question hitting the nail on the head, which was at the heart of Kurapika's dilemma.

Gang's big, bright eyes looked straight at Kurapika, and the boy couldn't lie under his gaze.

"He...was a good traveling companion," he finally admitted. "I still can't stand what he's done, but it's none of my business."

"What if he tries to kill you?" Kiya asked back, eyeing Kurapika warily.

"Then I will protect myself." This was Kurapika's answer.

Gang and Kiya began to look at the Kuruta boy with blunt eyes, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"I will," Kurapika insisted.

"Okay." Kiya said, nodding after looking into the eyes of the previous post, "We will definitely help you."

Kurapika nodded and started to eat, the next topic was not so serious.After lunch, they stopped at the restaurant and ordered more coffee and juice so the waiter wouldn't chase them away.The three of Kurapika keep sharing their lives, talking about different topics and people they met on the road.

When it was almost dinner time, Kurapika's phone rang, he took out the phone in surprise and looked at the screen, only a simple sentence was displayed on the screen, which was sent by Kuroro.

----- "I will call the hotel service for dinner, enjoy it."

It's nice to be an 18 year old again; not a scion of the Kuruta Brigade, not playing a crazy game with Kuroro ----- or something like that; he's just being Kurapika , an 18-year-old, is comfortable hanging out with friends.

By the end, it was dark when they parted.As Kurapika headed back in the direction of the hotel, he found himself looking forward to the night with Kuroro, even entering the room with a smile on his face.

Kuroro looked up from the book and met Kurapika's eyes.

It's really easy to lose yourself in fantasy.

Kurapika was spending the holiday with his friends the next day, and he didn't expect Kuroro to be in the hotel all day, so he wasn't too surprised not to see the spider boss when he went back.The roles of the two of them were reversed, Kuroro sat in the armchair yesterday and waited for Kurapika to come back, today it was his turn to wait for Kurapika to come back.

On the third day, they still didn't touch the work.Gang and Kiya had little interest in the rumored museum displaying a pair of flaming eyes, but the two boys followed Kurapika and Kuroro to the past.

The four men walked quietly through the brightly lit corridor. They saw an exhibition of different kinds of fossils. The beasts that had dominated in the past were huge in size, and some were deep in the stone.The four of Kurapika walked all over the museum, and finally found the red eye held in two metal cans in the last exhibition hall.

No matter how much time has passed, Kurapika's heart still aches when he sees this scene in front of him.His right hand tightly grasped the clothes where his heart was, as if there was an invisible hand holding his heart, which caused him pain.

He felt something warm grabbing him, and he squeezed it lightly.Kurapika looked to the side, Kuroro was standing there.

Kuroro shook Kurapika's hand, it was so ironic, if it wasn't for Kurapika's pain, he would not be able to hold back his laughter.

Kurapika thought his situation was weird, and he pushed away immediately after thinking that Gang and Kiya would see it.When he looked at Kuroro, Kurapika caught the black eyes looking at him, and he smiled to let the man know that he wasn't angry to push away.After Kurapika looked away, he found Gang and Kiya staring at them, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Qi Ya was the first to turn his face away, and he immediately focused on the two metal cans.The silver-haired boy tugged Gang's elbow lightly, then left the exhibition hall through the corridor, Gang followed behind, and Kurapika and Kuroro were the last to go out.No one spoke until they returned to the hotel.

"We'll help you," Gang said suddenly, without warning.

"What?" Kurapika looked at his friend, "No way!"

"We'll follow your instructions," Gang assured Kurapika. "We're not putting ourselves in danger, definitely not."

"I won't let you get involved in anything." Kurapika said firmly.

Kurapika was unwilling to agree, and instead, the spider leader let Gang hear what he wanted to hear.

"They can help," Kuroro said to Kurapika. "I can think of some tasks that they can help without putting them in danger."

"But I also don't want to get the two of them into legal trouble."

"Well then..."

Kuroro thought for a while, trying to find other feasible methods.

He looked at the two boys in front of him.

"What is 'trouble'?" Kuroro asked.

"I don't want any of them to risk being arrested by the government." Kurapika said standing in front of Kuroro.

"What if it's just a warning?" the spider leader asked.

"I don't care about any laws," said Kiya, who sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "You want us to be diversionary, don't you?" He looked past Kurapika to the man behind him: "Pretend become truant students or something, so the other party’s attention is not on the museum.”

"Yes." Kuroro said, "If you act as a sentry, it will be very easy for the police to link you to the theft."

Gang looked a little surprised, but his brows furrowed, and the expression on his face became very determined.Kiya didn't even blink, he just sighed and shrugged.

"Okay, so you want us to pretend to be a pair of troubled students and get the attention of the police and security?"

"Actually, I think you set off the museum's alarm and got caught," Kuroro explained. "When they cleared the alarm, Kurapika and I would infiltrate the museum and take Redeye."

"How are you going to do it?" Gang asked curiously.

"It's better that you don't know," Kuroro said. "The less you two know, the more convincing your interrogators will be."

Gang looked like he was going to protest, but Kiya was quicker to answer.

"Understood," he said, "just making sure that you get Red-Eyes, and that Kurapika doesn't get killed or captured."

"Oh, I can assure you." Kuroro said seriously, "We will get the eyes back and escape smoothly."

"Very good." The silver-haired boy said, "We will also do our own tasks well. When do you want to go?"

"About midnight," Kuroro replied, "arriving at the museum on time to trigger the alarm at 42:[-] a.m. We're counting on you two."

Following the order given by the leader of the spider, the four people in the house were ready.
