Chapter 71: Overflowing Cuteness
.......
The Dark Continent, the place that stretches beyond the Known World which is nested inside the gigantic Lake Mobius.
A lake located at the center of the Dark Continent, in fact, relative to the size of the dark continent the lake is but a mere pond and we live in that small pond...
The ancestors of the human race apparently migrated from there to the Known World, as the deciphering of myths and the study of ancient ruins seem to testify. It is speculated that Magical Beasts similarly originated from the Dark Continent.
And a magical place is what the dark continent is. human Children are born scientists, endlessly curious about their world.
Humans are all curious creatures, though the nature of our curiosity can change over time. Humans are innately curious creatures.
So it's only natural for humanity to have explored such a magical place and we did so several times but while the place is magical and fascinating, it's also a magically dangerous place.
And the things stored in the international permit agency's basement are a testification to its danger.
The five great calamities something humanity's curiosity brought back from the dark continent.
And like that, a month passed with Yasuo just relaxing and taking Alluka to the World Tree sometimes, reading the 'Journey to the new world', having a spar with Netero from time to time, and visiting Morena regularly.
Most importantly, he finished creating his new ability painting a small happy smile on his face as he sat elegantly posing for Alluka with the latter focusing completely on painting a perfect painting of him.
Yasuo waited patiently allowing Alluka to take her time until she finished the painting as she nodded with satisfaction enveloping her face, "It's perfect!!"
Yasuo stood up and walked towards the painting then stood next to Alluka while looking at the painting closely as a smile formed on his face, "Perfect, right?" She asked with expectations in her eyes.
Yasuo nodded, "It is, when you teleport back home, take it with you and place it in anywhere you think it fits in the house..."
While saying that, he picked her up as he sat down on the couch, placed her on his lap, and started patting her, "Let's wait for a while, someone is coming right now then I'll give you your gift."
To which Alluka nodded while resting her head on his chest.
They waited until the door to the hotel room suddenly opened by itself with a middle-aged man walking in though something peculiar that could be noticed is the expression on his face, an expression of pure horror while trying to move his mouth to no avail.
The person walked until he stood in front of Yasuo and Alluka and what no one can see is the countless threads all over him manipulating his movement under Yasuo's control.
"Alluka you can make requests..." That is what Yasuo said. After he made the wish for the one-time teleportation, he asked her to not make any requests.
He knows Alluka didn't make any requests for at least six years in the story so he knew it's safe for some time and possibly there are no repercussions for not making requests and granting wishes.
He also doesn't want to make an order to make her grant him a wish since that basically bypassing the rules of requests for a wish so the likeliness of a repercussion is quite high.
He knows he can make orders like Killua did in the story but he prefers not to do so and he knows Killua didn't make any order to her as of yet so he doesn't know if the latter can do so.
After all, he changed quite a lot and Alluka spends most of her time with him so he knows her feelings for Killua aren't as deep but there are still many uncertainties.
Hearing Yasuo says that seems to trigger something in Alluka as her face blanked for a moment before turning to the man but she just looked at him waiting with no further actions.
from the middle-aged man's back pocket, a black wallet flew out then flew to Yasuo's hand, he looked at the man's ID then said, "His name is Acak,"
As soon as Yasuo said that, Alluka asked with an innocent expression on her face, "Acak, can you give me your eyes?"
The man seemed terrified as his hands moved against his will until they forcefully plucked his eyes out yet he couldn't even scream due to the countless small threads keeping his vocal folds from producing any sound.
Yasuo used his control domain to stop the bleeding as the man handed her the eyes only for her to ask the following, "Acak, can you give me your tongue?"
A sharp kitchen knife flew from the kitchen to the man's hand then he started cutting his tongue as parts of his face started twitching slightly.
"Acak, can you give me your ears?" Is the next and last request she made after the man handed her his tongue, and he did as told starting by cutting his right ear then his left one and handing them to her.
The instant he did so is the instant the air in the room changed as a strange air enveloped the room and with that, Alluka's face changed instantly as Nanika manifested itself.
As that happened, another strange event took place. Purple lines started appearing all over the middle-aged man before he vanished.
This is the result of Yasuo's ability 'Violet Rose' though the strange thing is the latter not moving from his place at all nor did any purple lines appear on his arms yet he still activated the ability and dealt damage to the man erasing him from existence.
But if time were to slow down considerably, one could notice a purple hand with black lines all over it coming out of his upper back and attacking the man before instantly disappearing.
The same thing that happens when he uses 'Violet Rose' happened, the purple hand went through the man leaving a purple mark on the attacked area, and purple lines spread all over him once the timer he set ended.
This is the effect of Yasuo's new ability 'Vision' an ability that broke the rules of his enhancement ability 'Violet Rose' which is strange considering just how simple the ability actually is...
A piece of paper flew out of his backpack to his hand then he said, "I want Alluka to have the ability I've written on this paper with the fuel to power this ability being the same as the one that powers yours and she will naturally know how to use it..."
Nanika looked blank for a few seconds before saying, "Kay!!" That brought a smile to his face as he started patting her, "Good girl!"
"Wahh!" She let out a small whine of happiness as she hugged him tightly then asked with anticipation in her tone, "Yasuo, I did well? want me to do well again?"
Yasuo let out a small laugh of amusement, "You are and you'll always be a good girl so you don't have to do well, in fact, you don't have to make any requests anymore, ok? if you want anything then just ask, I'll pat you whenever you want~"
Nanika's face seemed blank for a second as she tried comprehending what he said only for her to nod then hug him even tighter while saying faintly as if whispering, "Yasuo... Love you..."
Then instantly the usual Nanika face vanished with Alluka returning with the latter opening her sky blue eyes as a bright smile surfaced on her face, "Hehehe Nanika is very embarrassed, Oni-chan is too nice! thank you!!"
Amusement became apparent on his face seeing the previous scene, "Flustered huh, well how about trying your new ability?" He indicated to her painting tools after he said that.
Instantly happiness started overflowing from her coloring the whole place, dyeing it in her color signifying her cheerfulness as she ran to her painting tools and started painting something though she finished quite quickly since she just painted a small bluebird.
Suddenly the whole painting canvas started dissolving leaving only a sky blue energy, an energy that started forming into the same exact bluebird Alluka painted as the latter closed her eyes.
The bluebird started flying around while actually producing chirping noises no different from a real bird.
The bird flew to Yasuo's hands with the latter caressing it while noting something.
'Soft and the feathers feel extremely real though only its exterior feel real, from what I can sense with my control domain, its interior is filled with the blue energy with no blood, no organs and no muscles yet the bird can fly and can make sounds.
Hmm, I guess the ability is limited by her perception of things around, and her imagination.
If she knows how the bird's body works exactly, the bird will be even more real and perhaps she can push the ability much further... '
