In the meantime:
" I'm officially broke." A white-haired boy plunged himself into one of the cushions at the small apartment that he had shared with his friend, Gon for the past few months after he had finished travelling the world with Alluka.
" It cannot be helped, Killua. You had just spent 100 million on Choco Robots." Gon replied unfazed as he was slowly getting used to his friend's antics by now. After all, Killua had once spent 200 million on snacks in four years.
" Nee, Gon. Can you lend me some money?" Killua whined and stared at Gon with his puppy-dog eyes fully knowing that Gon would not refuse him as they were like brothers.
" No can do. You have to learn to manage your own expenses." Gon stared at Killua with a stern expression.
" Is that so? Then how about this?" Killua started to tickle Gon under his armpits. Within seconds, Gon burst into peals of laughter.
" Stop it. It tickles." " If you lend me money, I will stop it." Killua smirked mischievously thinking that his plan was going to be a success. Alas, his thoughts were short-lived. " No means no, Killua. If I lend you money, you are just going to waste it on Choco Robots again." Gon held firm to his decision. Taken aback by this unexpected refusal, the smirk was wiped off straight from Killua's face. His expression changed from shocked to fuming. " Stingy. Besides, Choco Robots are not a waste of money." With that, he stormed back to his room banging the door shut.
He is angry now. Perhaps I should not have preached to him. Gon wondered as he stared at the closed door. Heaving a sigh, he picked up a comic book to read. Just hope that he will calm down soon.
Inside his room, Killua had flipped open his notebook. He was browsing through the Hunter's Website finding jobs as words such as " Gon is an idiot." popped out from his mouth once in a while. Just then, an advertisement at the bottom right corner of the screen caught his attention.
" Magnolia Annual Race on next Monday. An event not to be missed! The winner will get 100000000 beri and a winning feast ..."
Noticing the amount of prize money, Killua's eyes lit up and any traces of upset was whisked away in an instant. Just what I was looking for. An easy way to earn money. I must tell Gon about this. Carrying his notebook, he leapt out of his chair and made a beeline to his friend.
" Hey, Gon!" Killua shouted excitedly.
Engrossed in his book, Gon replied carelessly with his eyes glued onto the graphics. " What is it?"
" A race is going to be held at Magnolia and... Wait, are you listening?" A red cross appeared on Killua's forehead after he noticed his friend's apparent lack of attention towards their current conversation. Gon finally raised up his head and looked at Killua apologetically. " I'm sorry. What did you just say?" Hearing this, the red cross on Killua's forehead grew larger and his flames of rage was steadily burning. Noticing his friend's rising temper, Killua hastily put away his comic book and tried to quell his friend's anger. " I'm really sorry. I will listen to you attentively now." Holding his fist in irritation, Killua answered, " Moron. It is too late for that now." With that, he hit Gon's head hard...
" Ouch! Killua, it hurts." Gon rubbed on the bump that had formed on his head. Ignoring him, Killua shoved his notebook into Gon's lap. " Look at this." he appointed at the advertisement.
Gon deadpanned. He's ignoring me. This is bad. He is still angry. I'd better focus on what he is showing me or else.
After a few moments, Gon widened his eyes till they were as large as saucers. " Wow, 100000000 million beri. What a large sum of money."
" Isn't that right, Gon? I could buy many boxes of Choco Robots with it." Killua beamed. After hearing what his friend had said, Gon sweat-dropped. He really won't change.
" That's right, Gon. Why don't we all go together with Leorio and Kurapika? It's been a while since we had gathered together."
" That's a great idea! Let's make this a reunion."
This had happened after the 13th Hunter Chairman Election Arc and I'm going to use BERI as the currency in this story.
