Chapter 372: Disappearance
Furykov (Hey now... if you do it so flagrantly you'll expose yourself.
A layman can't possibly produce that much aura all of a sudden.
Now people will notice that you're experienced Nen users. You didn't raise your hand,
but you fail at hiding anyway. Are the guards of the 9th Prince (Halkenburg) idiots or what?)
Kurapika "Shedule, Yuhirai"
Yuhirai "Yessir"
Kurapika "Both of you can use Nen. Are you testing me?"
Shdule "!? N-no, that was not our intention!!"
Yuhirai "... Can we talk about this matter in private? Just between you and us"
Kurapika "From a security standpoint, neither can I leave here, nor can I let you approach. I will speak to either one of you after the lecture"
Yuhirai "Understood"
Furykov (I see, they are not aware of it themselves.
Either they are being Manipulated, or the whole thing is related to their Prince's Nen Beast...)
Sakata (It is possible that the present development is all according to their scenario. Their goal might be to (have us?) stay in this room... I'd prefer to observe them from up close, but... It depends on what Kurapika thinks of my firing the gun just now...)
Furykov (The other one, Loberry, has been detained by the Royal Army, so that leaves one more hidden Nen-user. ...This one is really good with their camouflage. The aura flowing from above their head is perfectly natural, and the flow of aura from their hands looks exactly like a novice's)
Attorney (?) "Very well then, shall we-"
Seiko "We reserve our right to remain silent. We will answer none of your questions"
Attorney "You are protected by royal privileges. This is just a formality and shall not remain in any court records"
Seiko "Even better. My answer does not change"
Attorney "...Very well. That saves me some hassle too. We'll have to bear with each other for 72 hours. With surveillance, you can even move around if you'd like. Please tell me if you have any requests. We can provide you with most anything"
Bisky "It has become visibly larger"
Hanzo "... What do you make of it?"
Bisky "It used to take an appearance of a dragon swimming gracefully in the air, too..."
Hanzo "The Nen Beast then started wearing a grim face and started growing bigger and bigger... and it accelerated with the death of his sister"
Bisky "No doubt, the thorns that cover its entire body is an expression of its self-defense instincts. The Nen Beast is clearly affected by the restlessness, fear, stress, and trauma"
(Presumably another guard) "Hanzo, Bisky, your shift is done"
Bisky "Are you seriously going?"
Hanzo "Yeah I'll settle this. If we found the culprit we might even be able to appease the Prince's Nen Beast. If my real body is touched or talked to, it will forcefully dispel my skill. I'm sorry but I'll have to ask you to keep watch around here"
Bisky "You know, sleep deprivation is bad for your skin. Let me help you with 1 gross of my Nature Beauty Pack"
Hanzo "...Okay"
Hanzo (Art of Doppelganger -- Hanzo Skill #4)
Hanzo "I came to help you. The First Prince (Benjamin) wants to meet you."
Toughdy "The First... Prince!?"
Hanzo "They are scouting (headhunting). It has already been settled among the military. They have concocted a scenario where Nagomamu next door will confess in his will and commit suicide. But for the trial documents we need the concrete modus operandi -- in other words we need to reveal the secret"
Toughdy "..."
Hanzo "Now that the existence of Nen and Nen Beasts are publicly known thanks to the current affair, Nen is now legally admissible evidence in court. So if we write down a detailed account of the ability used to commit the deed, we are all set"
Toughdy "... I see. My ability is a doppelganger technique called 'The Touch (Out of Body Experience).' It is limited to a radius of 20m, but if I, my real body, lie down and close my eyes, the doppelganger can move around freely"
Hanzo "Okay. Currently Nagomamu is out cold from sedatives. I will make it look like a suicide so lend me a hand will you?"
Toughdy "Okay. But how did you know that I di-"
Hanzo strangles Toughdy from behind
Hanzo "There were only two choices. I just tested with you first. That is all...!"
(Presumably the girls in Sale-Sale's quarters) "Come o~n, tell us what it is that you are planning to do!"
Sale-Sale "Hahahah, you can keep guessing until the day comes"
Girl 1 "But but, we are not allowed to join the feast"
Girl 2 "Right, see? We won't be able to see that moment you change the world, so tell us first plea~se"
Sale-Sale "Well~ Shall I give you a hint? Ah, I might as well make it so you can all hear it from the broadcast within this room"
Taithon "So how was it? What's your impression of the Taithon Canon? Has it evoked a change of heart?"
(Presumably the other guard) "Like, wow, every word tugged at my heartstrings! I am so deeply touched by every sentence that I can't turn the pages! My emotions were knocked out at the Table of Contents and Chapter Title! Now I am reading it real carefully~~!"
Izunavi "My apologies. I have yet to read it either."
Taithon "That's fiiine <3 Everyone has their own pace and timing~ But this I promise. You guys have a special power. My Canon will bring you guys to the next stage!"
Guard "Yessir! My feelings are evolving!"
Guard "Izu-san... This Nen Beast won't leave me alone. What do you think it is~?"
Izunavi "I have no idea either. Right now it seems to pose no harm. Only Nen users can see it anyway. It does not seem to attach itself to Oraa'u, the private guard sent by the First Prince. It probably means..."
Guard "...That we have won the Prince's favor, right?"
Izunavi "I can't say for sure. There might be another rule to it that we don't know yet"
Kurapika "That is all for today. Same time tomorrow morning"
Furykov (The assassin has not made a move since. Are they planning one murder per day?)
Kurapika (On the first day they killed five guards. (The fact that he hasn't killed more this time) is most likely because the conditions aren't met to do so)
Sakata "Kurapika, allow me to join this"
Kurapika "My apologies, but I cannot..."
Sakata "I should have the qualifications to. And the rights. If we cannot receive useful information especially for our employer (Third Prince Zhang Lei) there is no point in us staying here. Moving forward, do you think that you and Bill can possibly hack it alone? There was an assassination right in the middle of the crowd. I bet you didn't see it coming"
Kurapika (This is one of the problems that Bill wanted to tell me about when I passed out, huh...)
Kurapika "Of course, I guarantee that you will receive said information. However, please refrain for the time being"
Sakata "I cannot accept that. I believe my argument is also correct from a security standpoint, wouldn't you say? I will have you reveal everything regarding Nen that has transpired here"
Yuhirai "If your argument concerns our affair, allow us to concede here. Our Prince Halkenburg wishes to stop the Succession Contest, if possible. That we are discussing this with you this time is also to settle things amicably. We want information on the Nen Beasts"
Yuhirai "There is this mark that appeared on the back of everyone's left hand in our quarters, including the guards and the Prince himself. It seems like a tattoo that wouldn't disappear no matter how much we scrubbed or washed it"
Yuhirai "Our Prince said that he lost consciousness right after having seen us all collapse first. And it seems that by the time he woke up, this mark is already on our hands. The strange thing is... that none of us has any recollection of ever collapsing... and the fact that we did not find it strange at all that the Prince was sleeping out of his bedtime"
Kurapika "This must be a memory rewrite caused by a Manipulation ability. By deleting the memory that you were attacked, you were much less likely to panic from seeing the mark that suddenly appeared. In an overwhelming majority of cases, this kind of memory rewrite is used by Appeal-type Manipulators"
Yuhirai "Appeal-type...?
Kurapika "It refers to a Manipulator who can make his targets work in his interest while giving them some leeway to choose"
Togashi's notes here. A Command-type Manipulator controls both the target's mind and body. An Appeal-type Manipulator only controls the body, or forces the targets to move according to the user's demand by cornering them into a situation where there is no choice but to do so. Momoze's "Are you free?" Nen Beast belongs to the latter category
Kurapika "Compared to the Command-type or Semi-Command-type Manipulators, Appeal-type users have the advantage of being able to control a larger amount of people with comparatively less energy"
Kurapika "This mark you have has the same effect as ones used in real life. It can serve as a record or a message, or a distinguishing feature, or a signature, or intimidation, et cetera. Judging from your Prince's personality, what do you think of this mark?"
Yuhirai "... The closest I can think of... is a mark of determination and unity. Our Prince himself is a character with innate resolve... But he lets his decisions for group matters permeate through everyone with clear words and actions. In other words, this mark is proof of fellowship among those with the same resolve... including the Prince himself...!"
Kurapika "I agree. That explains why the mark appeared at a place most noticeable by the eye, but... the problem is this 'resolve' you are talking about"
Yuhirai "Yeah, there clearly is a contradiction here"
Sakata "What contradiction?"
Yuhiai "Our Prince's dearest wish is to abolish the current monarchy. This Succession Contest is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to realize that dream. But our Prince most definitely does not wish for bloodshed...! His principles conflicted with his cause so much that he told the King he would withdraw from this contest, in hopes that the whole affair would be called off"
Yuhirai "Right now, our Prince has resolved to stick to his principles and choose the longer way around, even if it is harder. But the Nen Beast might not share the same wish...!"
Kurapika "By the way, can you tell the number on my finger?"
Yuhrai "Is that aura? No, I can't tell..."
Kurapika "It seems that you are only half-awakened, after all. You are in a state where you can partially use Nen in a limited fashion, but you cannot control it on your own will... I suspect that the conditions to activate your ability must be strongly tied to your Prince's words and actions. But one can also say the fact that your Prince has the same mark might be a dangerous omen"
Yuhirai "!? What does that mean...?"
Kurapika "That the marks are identical is a sign that both the Prince and his supporters are equal before the resolve. It is a commendable ideal. At the same time, it also means that the risk of the Nen Beasts' ability is shouldered equally. The stronger the ability is, the stricter the conditions will be. And the more powerful the backlash too, if the conditions are not met. If your prince is a character that matches his reputation, then it is not unthinkable that the risk involves death"
Kurapika "It is imperative that all of you who bear the same mark figure out the exact nature of your ability as soon as possible, lest your Prince's convictions become your poison"
Yuhirai "... Understood"
Kurapika "From now on, if you can tell me everything you discover about your Prince's ability, I might be able to give you concrete instructions on what measures to take"
Yuhirai "We are very grateful of that proposal, but..."
Kurapika "From the earlier commotion, you must know by now that our Queen Oito shares the same desire to avoid bloodshed. We will definitely not abuse any information you might provide us"
Yuhirai "Don't get me wrong, I trust you in that regard. But the "we" you speak of does not necessarily include the Princes whom you are sharing information with. Am I wrong?"
Sakata "You need not worry. Our Prince Zhang Lei is also exploring options to resolve everything peacefully as a priority"
Sakata (This means that all we need to do is to corner Halkenburg into a situation where he has to choose between his cause and his principles)
Yuhirai (Those words are all lip service)
Kurapika "The hard-liners have already made their move. The lower Princes are weaker in power, and as such must join forces or else get targeted and eliminated"
Yuhirai "I am in complete agreement. We should start by forming a pact among Princes and announce it"
Yuhirai (Sakata's presence is a nuisance, but Kurapika's information is precious. Protecting the 14th Prince Woble is thus tantamount to protecting our Prince Halkenburg!)
Sakata "That is right... And we should direct our focus to the most important problem at hand, which is finding and arresting the assassin"
Sakata (... information on Kurapika's lecture and the 9th Prince's Nen Beast, the real identity of the assassin. And the most important of all, core information on Nen, which governs the way this Succession Contest goes)
Kurapika "I will go through the Pro Hunters to reach out to the other Princes"
Kurapika (It is of great advantage if I can reel both the 3rd and 9th Princes in. If, while stalling for time, we can find a way to escape this Succession Contest...)
Hanzo (My real body is... NOT HERE...!? Bisky has disappeared too! What happened!?)
Hanzo frantically searches around the room
Hanzo (Everybody is gone...! What the hell...!?)
Hanzo (Wait, the Prince's Nen Beast is here, so the Prince must be nearby too! ...It has shrunk in size, but it has also become much more sinister...!)
As Hanzo tries to approach, the Nen Beast extends its tentacle to intimidate
Hanzo (What does this mean? Will it attack regardless if it's friend or foe!? ...Or does it not even have the capacity to tell friend from foe!?)
Camilla exits her quarters
Musse "Lady Camilla!? Please let me know if there is anything you need..."
Camilla "I am headed to kill Benjamin. Whether to cooperate or to die, choose whichever you like. Aren't I magnanimous"
Musse "Lady Camilla... Those are not words you joke with..."

عنوان الفصل: إختفاء.
فوريكوف: (هاي الآن .. إذا فعلتها بشكل واضح ستكشف نفسك.
الشخص العادي لا يمكنه أنّ يُنتج هذا الكم من الهالة بشكل مُفاجئ.
الآن سيلاحظ الآخرون أنّك خبير باستخدام النين.
لم تقم برفع يدك لكنك فشلت بأخفاء هذا بأي طريقة.
هل حرّاس الأمير الـ9 هالكينبورغ أغبياء أم ماذا؟
كورابيكا: يوهيراي! ، شدولي!
يوهيراي: نعم سيدي!
كورابيكا: كلاكما يمكنه استخدام النين. هل تختبرونني؟
شدولي: ل-لا هذا لم يكن قصدنا!!
يوهيراي: .. هل بامكاننا التكلّم بشأن هذا الأمر بخصوصيّة؟ فقط بيننا وبينك
كورابيكا: من ناحية الأمن، لا يمكنني مغادرة هذا المكان، ولا يمكنني ترككم تقتربون.
أنا سأتحدث مع أيّ واحد منكما بعد الدرس.
يوهيراي: حسناً!
فوريكوف: ( أنا أرى أنهم غير مدركين لهذا بأنفسهم. سيتم التلاعب بهم، الأمر برمته متعلّق بوحوش النين الخاصة بالأمراء..)
ساكاتا: ( من الممكن بأنه في الوقت الحالي التأهيل هو طبقاً للسيناريو الخاص بهم.
هدفهم ربما يكون جعلنا نبقى في هذه الغرفة... أنا فضّلت أنّ أراقبهن عن قرب،
لكن... هذا معتمد على ما يملكه كورابيكا لاطلاق النار الآن...)
فوريكوف: ( الشخص الآخر، لوبيري، قد تم اعتقاله من قبل الجيش الملكي،
هذا يترك شخص ما أيضاً يستخدم النين متخفياً.
.... هذا الشخص حقاً جيّد لأنه استطاع التخفّي منهم.
الهالة المتدفقة لفوق رأسه مُتقنة بشكل فطري،
والهالة التي تدفق من يديه تبدو تماماً كالمبتدئين)
أتورني (؟) : جيد جداً إذاً أيمكننا-
سايكو : نحن محتفظين بحقنا بالبقاء صامتين. لن نجاوب عن أيّ من أسألتك
أتورني: أنتِ محمية بامتيازات ملكيّة. وهذا يبقى شكلياً و لن يضحى في وثائق من الحاكم.
سايكو: وإن كان. أجوبتي لن تتغيّر.
اتورني: .. جيّد جداً. هذا سيخفف علي بعض الازعاج أيضاً.
علينا أنّ نتحمّل بعضنا لـ72 ساعة قادمة.
بالإضافة إلى المُراقبة يمكنك التجوّل في الأرجاء إذا أردتِ.
أرجوكِ أخبريني إذا لديكِ أي طلب. يمكننا توفير أيّ شيء لكِ غالباً.
بيسكي: لقد أصبح واضحاً بشكل أكبر
هانزو: ما الذي ستصنعين منه؟
بيسكي: هو يُستخدم ليظهر على هيئة تنين يسبح بخفّة في الهواء، أيضاً...
هانزو: إذاً وحوش النين تبدأ بالأكل بوجه عابس وتأخذ بالتنامي أكبر وأكبر ... وبشكل مُتسارع .
بيسكي: بدون شكّ، العروش تغطي جسده بشكل كامل وهذا عبارة عن دفاع عن النفس بشكل غريزي.
وحش النين يتأثر بشكل واضح من قبل الإضطراب، الخوف، التعب، الضغط و الإصابات.
شخص من المحتمل أنه حارس آخر: هانزو، بيسكي ، مناوبتكم قد انتهت.
بيسكي: هل أنت جاد بالذهاب؟
هانزو: نعم لقد قررت هذا.
إذا وجدنا القاتل لربما يكون باستطاعتنا تهدئة وحش النين الخاص بالأميرة.
إذا ما لُمس جسدي الحقيقي أو تُكلم معه، سيقوم بقوة بإلغاء التقنيّة.
أنا آسف لكنني سأطلب منكِ البقاء للمراقبة بالأرجاء.
