Chapter Five

　　"By the way, don't forget to record your adventures in the diary before going to bed."

　　When you were about to go upstairs to bed, your mother suddenly told you to keep a diary. You froze for a long time before realizing that this might be the way to save the game progress - diary archive.

　　It's doubtful you'll actually go back to a save point after you die though...of course you don't want to try.

　　So after you came out of Furo, you crookedly wrote a few things in your diary with a skeptical attitude, and then fell asleep.

　　"Hawk--"

　　The first ray of sunlight in the morning fell on the window sill, and a row of birds chirped outside the window. You don't know how long you slept, you only know that when you wake up, it is already the next morning.

　　Put on the commoner clothes with defense +2, pick up the tough "wooden sword", and the pair of straw sandals that hardly add agility... You scratch your head helplessly, and go downstairs to find that Gon is already waiting for you in your living room.

　　"You overslept, Carrot Potato, we won't be able to catch the ship if we don't start!"

　　...it's not that you want to oversleep, it's that the system sets you up to oversleep.

　　You protested silently in your heart, Gon joined the team after greeting you. You are horrified to find that no matter where you go, Gon will follow behind you with a blank expression.

　　Help... It's scary, okay!

　　You head towards the pier with a sad face, Gon still maintains the "innocent" signature expression closely behind you, you can't help but start to worry about what to do if you have to go to the toilet, although this game system is very mentally handicapped, but your body But it's not much different from normal people (except that you will quickly recover your physical fitness after taking drugs), will Gon follow you into the toilet? This...Thinking about it, it's terrifying...

　　Running all the way to the pier, you can occasionally see exclamation marks on the heads of a few villagers on the road. You feel very curious, so you stop and talk to each other.

　　"Ah... it's carrot potato. Aunt Mazi back pain is coming back again. Can you help me collect the horns of ten bleating sheep?"

　　System prompt: The common beasts touched in the lakeside area of ​​the back mountain have a gentle personality and will not actively attack people, but they are scary when angry. There is a certain chance of dropping antelope horns. Collect ten pieces for Aunt Mazi, and you can get a certain reward after completing the task. Note: The current level can only accept one task at the same time, and the dependency can take effect again after giving up.

　　This... turns out to be a side mission.

　　You are very interested in the rewards in the system prompt, but the mountain of Whale Island is not too close to your current location, so you find it troublesome, so you reject the task of collecting the bleating horns.

　　"Is that so... It's a pity, let's talk about it next time."

　　Disappointed expressions appeared on the faces of the villagers.　

　　Dialogue along the road is similar to the dependence on collecting materials. You are really not interested in doing it, you simply go all the way to the pier to the end.

　　Gon behind him always kept an expression and said nothing, you felt like someone was staring at you behind you, but also like there was nothing, this weird feeling made you very uncomfortable. Enter the pier and see the boats docked on the shore. You ran over in a hurry and talked to the red-nosed captain standing motionless on the shore.

　　"Pack up your luggage, are you sure you're really going to board the ship?"

　　The red-nosed captain had a pipe in his mouth, and there seemed to be no smoke in it. After you asked to board the ship, he just stared at you blankly and asked.

　　"I'm sure." You replied.

　　"After leaving, you can't come back. Even so, do you still want to board the ship?" The red-nosed captain said again.

　　"Yes, I'm going on board." You confirmed impatiently.

　　The captain turned around and boarded the boat. Immediately afterwards, the ship let out a long "woo--" and Gon behind him suddenly started to move. He quickly ran onto the deck and shouted to you behind: "Hurry up, carrot Potato! the boat is about to sail!"

　　...Do you still need to say it?!

　　After Gon got on the boat, the boat started to move slowly. Then everyone was busy doing their own things, the sailors were busy sailing, chanting slogans rhythmically and loudly, Gon happily ran around on the boat, and some people started to vomit due to seasickness... This situation is truly amazing. It makes you wonder if this world is real, everyone is alive.

　　But this situation only lasted for less than a few minutes. Not long after the ship set sail, you found that the busy sailors started to spin around again, and the vomiting man vomited more than his own volume into the sea...

　　Obviously everyone has been normal for a while. You thought regretfully, but maybe that was the CG animation in the game...

　　You stood on the deck for a long time, and the ship traveled an unknown distance on the sea, and nothing happened around. Gon sat alone on the observation deck watching the seabirds, looking slightly uneasy.

　You talked to the people around you, but didn't get any useful information. You looked up at Gon on the observation deck, hesitated for a few seconds, made up your mind, and climbed up the mast.

　　"The seabirds told me... there might be a storm in a while." Gon said solemnly, staring at the seabirds gliding around the mast.

　　"..."

　　You look up at the clear blue sky, and you really don't think there will be a storm. Although you really can't remember the details of the hunter, but Gon is the protagonist. He said that there will be a storm, and there will be a storm. So you answered vaguely, and slowly climbed down the mast.

　　I don't know if hiding will help.

　　With a fluke mentality, you silently turned around and got into the cabin.

The air in the cabin is slightly humid, and due to the lack of sunlight, it makes people feel a little bit chilly. But after entering, you immediately noticed a handsome blond boy resting quietly in the hammock with his eyes closed.

He is one of the protagonists of HXH, Kurapika, a vengeful young man whose whole family was wiped out .

　　Without thinking, you walked over and talked to Kurapika who was lying down.

　　"..."

　　System prompt: The blond boy (?) is either asleep or doesn't want to talk to you.

　　...…Why is there a question mark after the boy, you know he is a man.

　　But if you haven't read the original manga, you will really think that the beautiful boy in front of you is a girl. Knowing the game's system, you approached Kurapika without fear and sized up his face. Then you find sadly that this boy's skin seems to be more delicate than yours as a woman. Apart from the common-faced villagers of Whale Island and the slightly special Gon, you are amazed by the characters for the first time.

　　Really, really good-looking...better than your favorite perverted singer GACKT-san in real life...

　　You stared at Kurapika face for a long time, feeling more and more disappointed.

　　Thinking that since Kurapika is nearby, Leorio is not far away. You look around, and sure enough, you find Leorio sitting in the corner of the cabin wiping a knife. You excitedly go forward to talk, but the other party Just wipe the knife repeatedly without looking up at you.

　　"...Well, what's the matter?"

　　"No."

　　You turned around and left Leorio.

　　Strange, there is no trigger event... But think about it, whoever said that seeing the main character will definitely cause a plot...

　　You comfort yourself by saying that the time has not come, you wandered the whole boat aimlessly, broke two wooden water storage barrels (you got fresh water in them, and you don't understand why you must break the wooden barrels), and broke into other people's houses you ate some fruit in the kitchen, then ran to the deck for a walk, saw that Gon sitting on the observation deck was still motionless, and finally returned to the cabin.

　　There is still no new progress in the plot.

　　You are puzzled, wondering what you missed, but soon, you see an empty hammock in the bed cabin, and when you approach, a new reminder suddenly appears in the system: do you want to take a rest?

　　Looks like this is it...

　　You jumped on the hammock, lay flat and closed your eyes, and began to quietly wait for the time to pass. However, it didn't take long before you discovered a serious problem.

　　You... can't sleep.

　　Can't sleep, can't sleep, can't sleep... can't sleep no matter what.

　　I woke up so refreshed in the morning that now I lie down and find myself untiring, eyes closed, eyes open, counting sheep doesn't help.

　　Didn't you already choose to rest, why didn't you fall asleep?

　　You think something is wrong, so you flip out of the hammock, walk around and go back to the hammock again.

　　System prompt: Do you want to take a break?

　　There should be no mistakes, try again...

　　You muttered and climbed into the hammock, but tragically, you found yourself still unable to sleep.

　　What the hell is going on with this system? ! No... It should be said that the system may not have a sleep aid function, you are just a normal person, how can you expect yourself to rest immediately when you choose "rest" like in the game.

　　Other aspects are so mentally retarded, only this boring detail is so accurate...

　　You are finally desperate. You tossed and turned in the hammock for a long time. The time that passed was longer than you were staring at the math problems in your homework. Finally, you felt a little sleepy. Then, in the shaking of the ship, you lost your mind and fell asleep in a daze.

　　...

　　"Wake up!! Carrot potato!!!"

　　You didn't realize how long you had slept, when suddenly you felt someone shaking your shoulders. You opened your eyes in a daze, and found that the cabin had become very dark, and under the dim light, you saw Gon with an anxious face in front of you. .

　　"The storm is coming! Come and help!"

　　After finishing speaking, Gon flew out of the cabin. You rubbed your eyes and jumped out of the hammock. You found that the cabin was full of people, the boat was shaking violently, there were vomiting sounds all around you, and you could faintly smell it in the air sour smell. You covered your nose in disgust, and walked out in the direction Gon left.

　　"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

　　"Boom boom boom—"

　　The moment you opened the hatch, your face instantly became whiter than paper.

　　There was lightning, thunder, and heavy rain outside, and the screams of seamen kept coming from all around. It was almost difficult to stand firm under the strong wind, and the waves were lifted higher than the boat, as if there was a slight mistake, and the boat would be swallowed by the big waves.

　　You feel your legs start to go weak.

Help, you are the one who needs help...
