Nobody really knows where Kira's current whereabouts are. She could be anywhere now right after she departed from Kukuroo Mountain.
Not that she cares about.
Having no one that would bother her sounded really good. This is what freedom is. She's free to do anything she liked here.
The mild but somewhat cool wind blows occasionally as Kira hops from tree to tree, heading towards the direction of the Laramidia nest.
A Laramidia is a Magical Beast that looked exactly like an Arctic Wolf. The difference is, they're bigger. A lot bigger. A giant. Just like Mike, the guard dog of the Zoldyck Estate. They might be from the same Canidae.
Oh, and they lay eggs too.
Kira is not a beast hunter, unfortunately. But she does know something here and there along her previous journey.
It's easy to determine Laramidia nest. They always build it near the center of the island. They are adapted for a temperate climate, so a tropical one, filled with hundreds of herbivores would be paradise.
But even with that, it would still be hard for the mother Laramidia to hunt.
Exactly why?
She was injured of course. A deep cut on her bicep femoris. Her femur was broken too.
It was the taste of 'Whirlwind', one of Kira's nen techniques.
It was all self-protection when the mother Laramidia tried to attack her a few days ago. She was just hunting for food and it was just pure bad luck that Kira had an encounter with it.
She doesn't need to be told that's she's the guilty one. The mother Laramidia just wanted to store up food supplies before her eggs hatches. And that would be anytime soon today.
As a token of apology, Kira took care of the mother Laramidia's injuries and do the hunting for her.
The magical beast seems to have accepted Kira's presence every now and then after the 5th day of continuous healing and bringing meat to her.
Alas, Kira has arrived at her destination. She hop-off the branch and walks towards the Laramidia nest. The site was located in a well-hidden pit amongst concealing rocks and vegetation of the Kakin Empire.
Up ahead of her, a silhouette of a Laramidia is getting nearer and bigger.
She patted the magical beast on the head and said, "I'm sorry I've been gone for a while. But am I too late?"
The mother Laramidia let out a soft huffed and shifted her paws a little to reveal her 2 eggs, the size of a loaf of Italian bread. A few cracks were visible on them.
Kira beamed excitedly. She took a seat right in front of the eggs.
Suddenly, there was a slight movement from the right egg. The shell was broken, impaled by claws from the inside. By then, the egg on the left did the same too.
A few seconds later, there are 2 Laramidia cubs right in front of Kira. Their eyes aren't opened yet. They do not normally open their eyes until after two to seven days. The cubs would totally dependent on their mother for survival for now.
The sound of the cubs crying reinforced the theory.
Kira darted her eyes on mother Laramidia's injured leg. The wound might still take some time to heal and she would be the food provider in replace for a few more days.
Not that she minds. But an unwanted and unexpected phone call has cut short Kira's thoughts.
It was a call from Milluki. How odd...
Did he want to hire her for a mission? What bad timing. Nevertheless, she still picks up the call.
Apparently, the second eldest Zoldyck has departed from his home. But where was he heading to?
"I could really use a hunter license now. But there's no way you would lend me yours, right?"
Kira couldn't hear his voice clearly. It seems to be buried beneath the loud sound of an engine and harsh winds. He must be boarding the airship then.
"Hmm... No offense but knowing you, whatever you do are highly attracted to a bad outcome."
She heard the boy grunted.
"Yeah, alright. I knew you would say that. That is why I'm heading to Yorknew City. I'm going to attend the auction."
Kira furrowed her eyebrows at his words.
"What are you trying to do now?"
"I'm going to bid for a copy of Greed Island. And Papa has assigned you to keep an eye on me while I'm there. I was 10 the last time I left home So, I don't really know how the world works now. Come over to Yorknew City and I'll explain everythi-"
"Listen, if I were to travel to Yorknew from my current location, it would at least takes 2 full days for me to arrive there. That's the fastest route."
"It's fine! Just get over here in Yorknew!"
The call was ended there. The white-haired girl sighed in defeat. She really doesn't want to use that old man's technique, but in this tight situation, she has no choice.
She can't be possibly leaving with the mother Laramidia still injured and the cubs are still too delicate to be surviving on their own. The only choice now is to speed up her recovery.
