Raw scan of HxH 324



p1

Oniichan, give me a hug--

Okay -

[And the ones coldly watching over them were...]

p2

Killua's really... become a true big brother...

So that's three wishes already? Huh, the computer was cheap.

Uh... S-s-sorry, Papa! I won't do it anymore!!

Does that mean that the preparations are complete for Alluka's ability?

Yes. Now Killua only has to make a request.

Miruki, I'll confirm it with you once more.

Yes... there are five rules that I know of.

One, if someone fails to grant Alluka's pestering, the level of the requests

immediately returns to Level 1! That's the point when it's easiest to make a

request of her.

Two, while Alluka is making requests of someone, she will never change targets

to ask anything of another person.

That's why I arranged to have the butlers return her to where you are, Papa

and Mama, as soon as she's made one request!

I think Killua did the same thing.

That's why Alluka has never made a "request" of you two.

p3

Three, if the person who's being pestered dies while granting a request, it's

considered a failure, and the judgment requires that at least one other person

die...! We've confirmed this experimentally.

Four, Alluka cannot make any requests of a person who doesn't know her name.

Five, the same person cannot make more than one request of Alluka in

succession!

That's all. I'm not hiding anything!! It's not a normal transaction!

Why isn't Killua making a request?

.... Hmm -- He's still thinking in a weak way, isn't he?

If Killua makes a "request" now,

then some other person will be forced to bear the "repayment."

.....Don't consider it.

Shouldn't he first be thinking of what he needs to do to save his friend?

Papa.

"Will my friend be pleased if to save him I sacrifice countless numbers of

people he's never seen?"

"No!" -- That's what he's thinking now. (Because he's an idiot.)

p4

His way of thinking has shifted far from ours. That's probably why Brother Iru

was using a needle to keep him in line.

He moved.

Pops.

Open up.

p5

No.

Make your request in there.

I will not allow the two of you to leave.

So it looks like

Pops and the others don't know about that rule either.

Pops,

you and I really are father and son.

p6

A dark "something" coming from another place

Didn't I say it?

Actually, when this kid's eyes go black, I call her "Nanika" ('something.')

We're going.

I'm going to take my own payback.

Nanika,

if we haven't left this mountain together within 30 minutes,

kill our mother...!!

p7

Wha...

Killua!! You--!!

If we've gotten safely down from the mountain within 30 minutes, give me a

peck on the cheek.

Okay?

...es.

p8

Mama!

Killua... how terribly, terribly cruel of you to say such a thing...!!

It's wonderful! You've grown so much!

Shit...!! He could do something like that too!!

A conditional "request" only counts as one wish! The choice is imminent!

Pops.

Open up.

Nanika is good at breaking things, but bad at fixing them.

p9

When it's time to fix something

if she's not touching it directly, then she can't use her power.

I can save both Gon and Alluka...!!

p10

Killua!? Where are you now!?

He's okay!?

Yeah, I'm heading back now.

How's Gon doing?

...It didn't do any good.

Even talking about Kite didn't get a single response from the meters.

Everyone's here and talking to him, but

he doesn't respond in the least.

Yeah. I understand.

p11

I don't think

there's any normal way to get him back anymore.

Wait, cool down!! Killua,

it's true that like you said, Gon placed himself under terrible constraints

and limitations in order to bring out the greatest possible strength of his

nen.

But if that's the case, then the solution

is to leave things up to a nen eraser!!

It's not too late to choose the riskier path after you've tried everything

else!

Yeah... sorry. I think you misunderstood what I was saying.

I don't mean that I'm going to try some kind of reckless gamble.

Instead... I'll bring Gon back to exactly the way he used to be!! Leave it to

me. It's a much less risky plan than contacting a nen eraser.

....

But... there's one problem we'll face getting there.

In fact I think it's easiest to say getting to you is the hardest part.

What do you mean?

p12

Ugh...

....

I am most humbly sorry, Killua-sama.

...Gotou, huh?

Allowing the conversation to continue would have involved highly classified

information.

I am terminating it.

I haven't said a thing yet--!!

No... "bring Gon back to exactly the way he used to be" touches directly on

Alluka-sama's powers.

That approaches information that is limited to those in the household. Since

your outside journey vigilance level is currently set at 4, I ask you to

exercise caution.

...So I'll have to wait until I meet Morau to give him hints, huh.

Godou, you're the one who's soft on me.

That's... what might you be speaking of?

Level four. So I've ticked Pops off pretty bad.

What's the breakdown?

[Outside Journey Vigilance Level 4. The target's (in this case Killua's)

speech and conduct are strictly banned. In order to maintain surveillance, a

number of butlers and family members will pursue the target. If the target

acts contrary to the ban, he will be immediately seized. If he must be

compelled to return home then the target will automatically be placed at

Vigilance Level 5.

Level 5. If the target attempts to take even one step outside the premises he

will be immediately captured and returned.]

p13

Removing classified objects from the premises, acting contrary to your

parents' wishes, and acting with an overpowering manner are all considered

cause for vigilance.

Alluka isn't an object!!

There are three banned actions.

One, in order to maintain security, the target is forbidden to converse with,

exchange objects with, or come into physical contact with outsiders without

permission.

Pursuant to this condition, telecommunications equipment such as a cell phone

is forbidden.

Yeah, you took it a long time ago.

Two, in order to maintain security, the target is forbidden to move more than

one meter away from Alluka-sama.

Yeah yeah, I won't take my eyes or hands off her!!

Three, in order to maintain security, it is forbidden for any outsiders to

become aware of even the slightest information regarding Alluka-sama's power.

Go-ot it.

So this is...

p14

...how it's gotta be.

This way I oughta be able to get permission to manage one thing at a time.

So I'm leaving every movement in your hands.

...I understand why me,

but why is Kanaria coming with us?

Stupid, Alluka is a girl!!

An old guy like you can't cope with delicate subjects!!

p15

Please do not be concerned.

I will accompany you as well.

The two currently with you will not be sufficient. We've been directed to do

this by Silva-sama.

Tsubome...!!

....

So he's... in a pretty bad mood, huh.

It's okay. I'm not gonna mess around with Level 4.

p16

"Okay"!? Killua-chan!!

I am not as soft on you as your father and Gotou!!

One breach of the rules and you're coming home!! You must ne-ver forget that@@

The least sign of resistance and you'll be unconscious!! Prepare yourself for

that!! Do you understand!?

Okay okay.

Calling Killua-sama "chan"... only Tsubome-sensei would dare to take such

liberties...!!

You can't bully Oniichan!

Yeah, I know. That I hate you, old hag.

I'm very sorry. Alluka-chama, you're so sweet~ I won't do it anymore!

Do you like your big brother?

I like him a lot!

So you'll listen to what your big brother says, right?

Ye~es!

....

Killua-sama is depending on me.

In order to save his friend... he's putting himself in great danger...

p17

I'll help you... even if because of that

My job... or even my life should be lost!

I'm Amune. Pleased to meet you.

Kanaria. The pleasure is mine.

Tsubone -

Will you give me the nail off your little finger?

She's made a "request" of Tsubone...!!

What awful timing!!

Nanika's "requests" -- even I don't know when or to who she'll make them!

p18

Yes, I will.

Killua-sama. I will hide myself for one hour.

As a result of this, Alluka-sama can now no longer make "requests" of another

person.

I take precedence... you understand this, don't you...?

Of course

I will not be far from your sides...!!

Aww, but I had more to ask.

She got me...!!

But it's okay... the odds are still in my favor!

p19

Even if I can't make a "wish,"

I can give an "order"...!!

Oniichan... are you mad?

It's okay. There's nothing for you to worry about, Alluka.

[Towards Gon... and preparing to face death!]

I'll surely

save you!!
