Spoilers are out
Hunter x Hunter
How do you know that's Cashew
Chapter 379
Mizaistom is listening to an account of the incident
Survivor She heard the knock and approached the entrance. As soon as she opened the door I heard a thud. I tried calling out to her but she didn't respond, so I panicked and exited the toilet, and... the man was standing there.
Luini Step aside.
Survivor And I did.
The survivor found the roommate's fallen body, covered in blood
Luini If you make a noise I'll kill you.
Survivor I couldn't speak or move even if I had wanted to... All I could do was concentrate on following the man's order so as to save my own skin.
Luini Hmm, what to do... I had wanted to stop at exactly 20 people. That's why I chose this single passenger room... Dammit.
Survivor (Please... Please! Please!! Please!!!)
Survivor I prayed silently in my mind because if I so much as made a squeak he would have killed me.
Luini Eh, wait... 1, 2, 3, ...10... 20? Whoagh, it's 21 isn't it!? That's right, the number of people is one off the level! Shit, this doesn't feel good. Now which number should I match!? Shit...!
Survivor I had no idea what he was saying.
Luini Dammit this is so unpleasant...! Oh, well, might as well...
Survivor And just as when I thought I was gonna be killed, I heard a scream outside, and the sound of a large number of people gathering. Footsteps trampling in the corridor, someone banging the door, a scream... the sound of someone calling out... It was very noisy outside the room. Then the man... locked himself inside the toilet.
Mizaistom Locked himself inside...?
Survivor Yes... And since I stayed here until the national military personnel pried the door open, the man must have escaped from there.
Mizaistom But the drainpipes of the toilet can't let even a rat through, let alone a human being...
Reminder that Killua only calls Alluka his sister just to humour him, and actually calls him his brother behind his back
Survivor That's what the military told me as well. But the man hadn't come out of the toilet and the military had also confirmed that the door had been locked. So please, catch the culprit and ask him yourself.
Mizaistom (If her account is to be believed, the culprit should be a Nen user, but... something doesn't make sense. Killing her shouldn't have taken more than an instant... Why would he do something so irrational as leaving a witness? Did he panic because of the commotion outside...? No, that doesn't sound like the profile of someone who would murder 20 people in mere moments. The words "level" and "number of people," and then "20" "21" and "one off"... These are the key to solving the mystery...!!)
Mizaistom By the way... what is your relation with the victim?
Survivor She had happened to sit next to me in the cafeteria, and we hit it off. Too bad... I didn't have the chance to lend an ear to her personal affairs...!
Mizaistom ...Please get some rest in your room for now. I will probably be coming again a couple more times.
The survivor leaves the crime scene, but her real identity is Cashew (Lv. 1) of the Heil-Ly Family
Cue flashback
Cashew ...And that is how I will mix lies with truths. This way I can also give them a hint for the reason why I wasn't killed.
Luini Well done. Just remember to testify properly about my scar.
Cashew Seriously? You're okay with that?
Luini With that, I will confirm the sleuthing skills of the military and the Hunter Association. I want to know how long it will take them between determining the culprit's identity and finding me.
Cashew Are you really sure about this? If you get caught it's definitely the death sentence for you.
Luini I won't get caught, and I'll just escape if I do. The Boss told us too, right? "Your ability will answer you if you wish hard enough." I can feel it... I have just been granted my ability (gift). And this power... will bring me to the place that I want!!
And nothing happens
Back to hiatus for only 1 week bros, after that I'll continue until the 20th chapter
Cashew (And with those words, Luini disappeared from the toilet. A power to move through space, huh. Not that I want such ability. What fun is there in being able to get things done in a rush like that? I will take it slow... both my leveling up and my wishing for my ability (gift). I have successfully established contact with the investigator... Next I will infiltrate deeper.)
Boooooooriiiiiiiing
I think he's wrong. Last chapter, Miz was talking with someone that looks like bottom right. Could be wrong.
