Chapter 29 - 029 FortuneXMagician

"A letter? Why would he do that?"

"For presentation. He call himself a magician. And although I don't want to admit it. He is good at it. He has 95% success rate on stealing. And everytime he steals something, no one dies. Well no death has been tied to him so far, that is the reason why I'm allowing you to tag along."

"I see. So what's the letter about? It looks like a riddle. Have you solved it already?"

"Hmmmm"

'A wild beast should never be placed for display.'

"He is talking about the item, and at moment the wild beast perfectly describes the Pink Panther among the Nostrade collection."

'I shall free it from captivity on the eve when the sun shines on the bull.'

"This one says the night before the sun shines on the bull. Bull being Taurus which usually signifies solstice or June. So, we still have a few days to prepare." As Bisky raised her index finger again.

"9!"

"Bingo!"

The two went to the airport and boarded an airship.

"Hey Bisky, how do you modify or improve a Nen ability? I 'want' to improve 'Magical Beautician'." Silver uncharacteristically highlighted and pause on the word 'want' instead of need.

"Is it one of the two requirements left?" Bisky asked which was met by silence. "First you should understand what are Nen abilities. Nen abilities are just the manifestation on how Nen-users desires to use them. I created my ability to use different massaging techniques and a Nen-transmuted lotion to relieve fatigue and restore vitality to anyone it massages. It can also burn off excess fat and cure arthritis, muscle tension and locked joints. It is particularly useful for training/recovery purposes and to treat aging ailments. With this ability I will always have my beautiful skin and not worry about wrinkles" Bisky explained as if selling a product. "But it was not this complex when I first created the ability. It was originally created to relieve fatigue and restore vitality. But over time I 'improved' it by adding more and more abilities to it."

"6!" Bisky raised her index finger when she mentioned first.

"You should not trouble yourself of it at the moment. Nen abilities answers your heart's desire and cannot be rushed. For now we focus on your training."

"Osu!"

It took them a two days to reach Nostrade Mansion. During which, Silver was trained to do Nen-balls emission and Nen-Numbers tranformation training. The airship was not a good place to practice enhancement training.

"Are we at the right place? Why are there so many people here? It's like everyone is here to watch someone perform." Silver was surprised by the sight. An uncountable amount of people are surrounding a mansion with police line encircling it.

"Because they are. Kid albeit a thief is loved by public. He always makes his heist a sight to behold. More often than not, the public wants him to succeed while those that he targets wants to catch him alive to gain fame. Killing Kid in public will surely sparks public outcry and killing him in private is almost impossible. One, he always announces in public what and when he will strike."

"8!"

"Great, I am satisfied with your Gyo training.

Two, he wears a white mask to hide his face and a master of disguise. Three, divination doesn't work on him pretty well."

"So how do we catch him?

"That's the neat part, we don't. I'm a stone hunter, not a blacklist hunter. I don't deal with criminals. I only need to make sure the Pink Panther doesn't fall into his hands."

"You are finally here! To get the help of double star stone hunter is a relief. I can finally relax." Light Nostrade excitedly welcome the two of them.

"What makes you think I can be of help? As you know, Kid has a high chance of succeeding and has successfully escaped a pursuit from the Zoldycks." Asked Bisky in her serious business tone.

"You see, my daughter Neon is a fortuneteller. She divined that to successfully thwart Kid's attempt we'll need a help from a double star hunter. We tried to reach Mr. Mizaistom Nana but he declined since he is currently occupied in hunting a mass murderer in Zaban City. He recommended you, Ms. Bisky on his stead."

"A divination. Can I see it?" Asked Silver with his hands high up.

"And you are?" Asked Light.

"My student, he is strong enough to handle his own." Bisky answered as he observed the Nostrade's bodyguards. 'Strong enough to handle everyone here.'  Can we see the divination?"

Light ordered a bodyguard of his to get the paper.

'Customers will be returning to purchase'

'A challenge will be issued to you.'

'A twin star is your light of hope.'

'You'll be like fire that attracts the moths.'

"This is my fortune, each line signifies a week of the month. The 1st line is for my buisness partners. The second line is the letter we received from Kid. The third line we deduced to mean double star hunter and lastly those people outside should be the moths attracted to the fire. Unfortunately we don't know how it ends at the moment." Light explained

"That would seem to be the case. But why not create a new fortune to see what happens next?" Asked Silver innocently from the side.

"This... Neon can only divine for the current month. To know how this will end, we will need to wait for midnight tonight. But.."

"Kid will come on the eve of June." Bisky finished for him.
