Kikyo's physical fitness might have been good, or perhaps it was because she had already given birth to two children. Shortly after entering the delivery room, the child was born smoothly.
This joyous event was not something Luo, as an outsider, could know immediately, nor did he have the opportunity to see the child. He deduced it through observation.
At this moment, the Zoldyck family was immersed in deep joy but did not neglect Luo, arranging a room for him through a butler.
Staying as a guest in the Zoldyck household, especially during the birth of a new family member, was already unusual. This indicated that the Zoldyck family did not consider Luo a mere outsider, as evidenced by him being able to share a meal at their table.
The main reason for this was Maha's extraordinary attitude towards Luo, which subtly influenced the rest of the Zoldyck family.
Lying on the soft bed in the guest room, Luo stared at the luxurious arched canopy above, his mind wandering.
He thought about the newly born Killua, his recent conversation with Ging, and the plans he had to make. With a soft sigh, he realized that although he had been in the Hunter world for several years, it sometimes still felt unreal.
"Killua is born, and Alluka is likely to be born soon. As long as Killua 'commands' the unknown entity within Alluka, Buhara's arm can be instantly restored without any cost."
"This can be done when Killua is five or six years old, but it must be before the Zoldyck family discovers Alluka's ability to avoid many troubles."
"If the timing isn't right, it doesn't matter as long as I maintain a good relationship with the Zoldyck family over the next few years."
Luo had a relatively clear plan but was completely unaware that Kikyo had given birth to twins: one being Killua, and the other Alluka.
He had always thought that Killua was the Zoldyck family's third child and Alluka the fourth, as this was not mentioned in the original work. This assumption was reasonable from a habitual thinking perspective.
Considering the need to build a good relationship with Killua, he decided to visit the Zoldyck household frequently in the future, using "gourmet food" as an excuse for his visits.
Following this line of thought, Luo's thoughts expanded. Thinking about the future, he couldn't help but consider the upcoming events.
The Yorknew City arc featuring the Phantom Troupe, the surreal Greed Island game arc, and the appearance of the Chimera Ants.
Thinking of Yorknew City, Luo instinctively linked it to Kurapika and the massacre of the Kurta Clan. Greed Island reminded him of the game's various strange ability cards, likely having strict restrictions. The Chimera Ants led him to think of Netero's death.
These were known future events, but with his presence now, whether they would happen as predicted was uncertain.
If he wanted to intervene in the future, Luo considered that he would likely focus on two things: the Kurta Clan massacre and stopping the rise of the Chimera Ants.
However, he didn't know the location of the Kurta Clan or the timing of the event. Should he warn Chrollo not to covet the Scarlet Eyes with prophetic knowledge?
Additionally, he was unsure of the time and place of the Chimera Ant Queen's appearance, which was the most troublesome aspect.
The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. He decided not to dwell on it for now. He would take things one step at a time, without worry or hesitation. However, he didn't want Netero to die due to the Chimera Ants.
The next day, Luo went down the mountain and entered the sea of trees.
He planned to gather ingredients, mainly mountain delicacies, to cook Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Yesterday's portion was indeed insufficient for the Zoldyck family, and Kikyo, having just given birth, could use some nourishment.
Luo was not alone; Tsubone accompanied him. Maybe it was to keep his actions within sight, or perhaps to assist him. Regardless of the reason, Luo didn't mind.
Wandering through the sea of trees, hunting and picking, Luo spent about two hours finding more than thirty ingredients before he was satisfied. However, he had traveled far to find them and would need some time to return.
Finding the ingredients took time, and cooking Buddha Jumps Over the Wall also required time. To return quickly, Tsubone used her Nen ability, transforming into a pedal-powered aircraft.
Yamato Nadeshiko Seven Changes was Tsubone's Nen ability, allowing her to materialize her body into various vehicles, but she couldn't operate them herself, requiring the driver to use Nen as fuel.
"Get on and inject your Nen."
Transformed into a light aircraft, Tsubone spoke calmly.
She had a few reasons for doing this: ensuring the freshness of the ingredients so the family could eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall as soon as possible and using this opportunity to test Luo's abilities.
Seeing Tsubone transform so readily, Luo's eyes showed surprise. He knew this was her ability from the original work but didn't expect her to let him drive for such a small matter.
Without much hesitation, Luo secured the bag of ingredients and stepped onto the aircraft, grasping the handles and injecting his Nen.
In an instant, the aircraft's tail emitted a flame formed by materialized Nen, soaring into the sky at considerable speed, quickly surpassing the height of the trees and heading into the air.
It was Luo's first time operating Tsubone's materialized aircraft, but once he got the hang of outputting his Nen, he found the appropriate output frequency within ten seconds.
The aircraft flew towards Kukuroo Mountain, gaining speed rapidly. A journey that usually took about an hour was completed in less than three minutes.
During these three minutes, Tsubone gave Luo no instructions, yet he adapted astonishingly quickly.
"Impressive."
Receiving Luo's outputted Nen, Tsubone could personally experience his incredible adaptability. He found the right output frequency in a short time, and his Nen was of high quality, flowing smoothly.
Despite appearing young, Luo's abilities were already impressive.
Tsubone didn't like Illumi but had to admit that his talent did not disgrace the Zoldyck name. She thought Illumi had few peers among his age group, but there were always others out there.
Upon returning to the Zoldyck household, Luo headed to the kitchen with the ingredients. Tsubone, having completed her task, no longer accompanied him, as other butlers would assist in the kitchen.
She watched Luo go to the kitchen and then reported the incident to Silva.
That evening, Luo once again prepared Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for the Zoldyck family, this time in sufficient quantity. However, Illumi couldn't taste it as he had work to do.
It was also that evening that Luo learned Kikyo had given birth to twins, Killua and Alluka.
He was quite surprised but quickly accepted and digested this fact.
Killua and Alluka were twins, yet their appearances differed significantly, and their hair colors were different. The basis for considering them twins was minimal.
However, Killua was unique to Alluka and the unknown entity within him. Thus, using the fact of them being twins as an explanation seemed somewhat reasonable.
After dinner, Luo returned to the guest room, planning to leave the next morning.
The night passed, and the next morning.
Luo got up, had breakfast prepared by the Zoldyck family, and then prepared to return to the Hunter Association.
Before leaving, although he couldn't see Killua and Alluka, he requested a photo.
Given the Zoldyck family's uniqueness, this was a difficult request.
Silva didn't understand why Luo wanted a photo but still provided one and personally saw Luo off the mountain.
After several interactions, Silva believed the Zoldyck family could establish a relationship with Luo.
