Chapter 190 - Chapter 189

Bonuus =D

[Guiding Angel].

Effect: Wear it on your hand and consult with it; it will help you find the best answer.

This is an angel-type puppet robot that can be worn on the hand.

Not only can it guide you on the correct and safe path, but it can also assist you in activities like playing chess, sports, and daily tasks.

Although it can make judgments to ensure a colorful future for people, it is quite stubborn and can be annoying at times!

This is because it considers everything from the user's perspective without hesitation, making it an extreme egoist.

Primarily, it will stop at nothing to achieve its goals.

Moreover, if no one helps you take it off, you can't remove it by yourself.

Originally, Doraemon took out this gadget with the intention of giving Nobita some exercise and a lesson, even feeling a bit reluctant.

Later, when Nobita got home, he was supposed to finish his homework within the stipulated time.

However, he found Doraemon collapsed on the ground due to a missing part.

Nobita was determined to help Doraemon find the part, but the Guiding Angel strongly opposed it.

It believed that if Nobita did so, he wouldn't finish his homework and would get scolded by the teacher, so it kept hitting Nobita to make him follow its plan.

Fortunately, Gian passed by and took the Guiding Angel away, sparing Nobita from this trouble.

This is a tool with a lot of duality and is quite troublesome.

"I wonder what would happen if such an extremely egoistic tool were given to Gon to use?"

Morin looked at the innocent-faced Gon, "What kind of effect would it have?"

When an extremely egoistic tool meets a kind and pure protagonist, what kind of sparks will fly?

"What is this thing, Morin?"

Gon curiously examined the toy angel.

"This is called the [Guiding Angel], and its effect is..."

Morin explained the effect to Gon and the others, though he didn't mention a word about the side effects.

"This little guy has such a function?"

Leorio's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Does such a magical thing really exist in this world?!"

After speaking, he suddenly recalled the fishing rod and weather-controlling items Morin had taken out before.

"Perhaps, it's not the items that are amazing, but Morin himself is quite mysterious..."

Leorio and Kurapika exchanged a glance, both having this thought.

They didn't plan to ask Morin about these matters.

After all, they weren't familiar enough yet, and it's impolite to pry into others' privacy.

"Is this... thing really that amazing?"

Gon had no doubts about Morin's words.

He always believed whatever others said.

"You can try it yourself."

At this moment, Morin seemed like a strange uncle holding a lollipop, coaxing a child.

Using a persuasive tone, he handed the [Guiding Angel] to Gon.

"You can collectively refer to them as 'tools.'"

"Tools, huh~"

Gon nodded subconsciously, feeling like he learned a new word.

For some reason, he touched the hat on his head.

Under Leorio's envious gaze, Gon put the [Guiding Angel] on his left hand.

"So, Mr. Guiding Angel, should we follow the captain's instructions towards the largest redwood tree, or follow the map on the notice?"

Gon asked.

"Beep? [ ] Beep?"

After two mechanical startup sounds?

"I'll answer!"

The eyes of the [Guiding Angel] lit up, marking its activation.

Although Morin had modified the conditions for borrowing his Nen ability, it could still be used as the original condition, meaning lending it consumes Morin's Nen.

"Of course, head towards the redwood tree! That's the fastest route to the test venue!!"

The [Guiding Angel] spoke.

"It can really talk! Amazing!!"

Gon's eyes sparkled as if he had received a toy he really liked.

"Even it says so, so we should head towards the redwood tree."

Kurapika was already inclined towards this path.

"Is this thing really that reliable?"

Leorio asked skeptically.

Then, he noticed Morin looking over, and quickly waved his hand:

"Of course, I'm not doubting the tool's effect, I'm just..."

Leorio stopped mid-sentence.

Because he realized Morin wasn't looking at him.

Leorio turned his head and saw a man with short orange hair, carrying two sticks, with a sly expression following behind them.

"Who are you?!"

Leorio looked at the unknown guy with vigilance.

"Hello, I'm Matthew, also taking the Hunter Exam. Aren't you taking the bus to Saba City?"

He greeted them with a smile even more sleazy than in the anime.

"We plan to go to the giant redwood tree."

Gon, as always, answered questions directly.

"There, huh?"

A glint flashed in Matthew's eyes.

Earlier at the port, he noticed they had a longer conversation with the captain, likely gaining some insider information.

"I'm also a candidate for this test. If you're heading there, why not travel together? That way, we can look out for each other in case of danger."

He enthusiastically promoted himself, appearing to be a genuinely considerate person.

But in reality, he was thinking about abandoning them to create an escape opportunity if danger arose.

"Do you want to come with us?"

Gon, who usually had no objections to requests, was about to agree.

At that moment.

"No!!"

The [Guiding Angel] on his left hand suddenly spoke.

"You can't let this person come with us."

The [Guiding Angel] stated.

"Huh? Why?"

Gon asked, puzzled.

But the [Guiding Angel] didn't elaborate.

This tool will tell you what choice to make but never the reason behind it.

That's one of its pitfalls.

Fortunately, Gon didn't dwell on it.

"Since Mr. Guiding Angel doesn't want to accept you..."

He thought for a moment, "Then I'm sorry, Mr. Matthew, you'll have to go on your own."

Leorio and Kurapika both nodded in agreement.

With that, the three of them ignored the frustrated Matthew behind them and followed Morin's departing figure.

Yes, while they were talking, Morin, not wanting to waste time, had already left.

"Listening to a toy, what a joke..."

Matthew spat on the ground in frustration, but he wasn't about to give up.

"I can't let such a good stepping stone go!!"

He stomped his foot, put on a friendly and eager face, and chased after them.

"Wait for me!!"

Under the blue sky and white clouds, amidst green trees and grass, with sunshine and flowers, everything seemed beautiful.

Walking along the shaded path in the forest, the group of four was followed at a distance by Matthew, making five in total, heading towards the mountain top.

And at this moment?

"Ouch!"

Matthew cried out, tripping over a fallen log on the path, not only falling but seemingly twisting his ankle.

"Are you okay, Mr. Matthew?!"

Gon was the first to turn around.

But before he could fully turn, the [Guiding Angel] forcibly turned his head back.

"Ignore him, he's fine."

"He's fine?"

Gon sighed in relief, "Then let's keep going."

Matthew: "...?!"

Can't you at least look at me?! Why do you believe everything that toy says? Can't you check for yourself?

Matthew's inner voice screamed in frustration.

But outwardly, he maintained a friendly and concerned expression:

Drop some stones :D
