We sigh sitting on the bench as I think "Must not cuddle up to Killua... MUST NOT CUDDLE UP TO KILLUA!" Killua sighs snapping me out of my thoughts "Oh... Just one thing after another... Just what should I be thinking now?"

I think in my head "Certainly not what I'm thinking... You in my arms! It's like God put you on this earth to test my sexuality and my self control... Damn it and now his naked in my head again..." Killua turns to me "Do you think that really was Komugi? After two mysterious deaths it's starting to sound really possible..."

I groan "Unless Komugi looked like a guy... Highly doubt it... To top things off it couldn't be a ghost I bet my virginity on it! Think about it why would a ghost need to teleport crystal? A... Teleport... Crystal..."

Killua blinks "You're betting your virginity on it...?" I sigh "If I win the bet I get to keep it... If I lose... looks like I'm going to get lucky!" Killua snickers "So who's going to get lucky..." I tap my cheek "I don't know..."

I think "The guy sitting two feet away from me..." Killua pulls out something handing it to me "Go ahead..." I look at Killua slightly interested "Oh you got me a present... How lucky I am I...?" Killua glares at me "Just eat it! It's not like I holding it out for you to look at it..."

I smirk thinking "My eyes are focused elsewhere..." Killua frowns "Are you going to keep looking like an idiot... Or are you going to take it?" I smile "Thanks..." I unwrap it seeing a sandwich as Killua speaks up "You better eat it before it breaks... It's durability is almost zero..."

I smile widely as I take a bite. Killua lifts an eyebrow at me as I smile looking at it "There's no words that I can use to describe this..." Killua blushes as I continue to munch on the sandwich "How the hell did you manage to find time to get some lunch..."

Killua sighs "I had a gut instinct that we wouldn't have time for lunch... So this morning I was busy packing these... Until you showed up!" I turn to Killua surprised "Wow... You certainly know how to impress someone... besides being the second in-command and flaunting your skills around... Where did you manage to buy these..."

Killua frowns "You can't buy these..." I look confused at Killua as he smiles looking at his "I made them... Yeah I can cook... Big deal..." I look at Killua mortified as he frowns "Are they that bad..." I look stunned at him "Actually the opposite... You should open a restaurant... You could make a killing off these..."

Killua blushes as I laugh a little bit dropping my sandwich. The sandwich shatters as I look in shock "No...! Killua's delicious cooking..." Killua glares at me as I correct myself "I mean No... My lunch!"

Killua chuckles "You should have spent more time eating rather than talking..." I drop to the floor almost in tears as Killua looks confused at me "Are you crying over a sandwich because that's pretty funny..."

I come to a realisation thinking "Wait a sec... I've seen this pattern before..." Killua speaks up "You know-" I hold out my hand to him "Quiet I just had an epiphany!" Killua lifts an eyebrow "You discovered the meaning to life from a destroyed sandwich..."

I shake my head "No... But it gave me an idea! Think about it we never really saw anything!" Killua frowns "You're making little to no sense now..." I shake my head "We thought we did! But in reality we were seeing something else... I was right... And now I get to keep my virginity because of that..."

Killua snickers as I sigh thinking "Next time Killua..." I continue "The game never allowed killing in a safe zone! There's no weapons or exploits that allows you to bypass the rules!" Killua swallows his sandwich whole "They're alive!"

I nod "Yep they're ok... Both Palm and Knov... Inside safe zones... Players HP doesn't deplete to zero but the durability of an object does... Just like that sandwich..." I think "Beautiful delicious sandwich..."

Killua blinks "What?" I sigh "Out of Knov's armour the spear was sticking out... However it wasn't draining his HP rather it was draining the durability of his armour..." Killua touches his chin "That means his body didn't disintegrate his..."

I interject "His armour was stripped clean leaving him bare for the world to see..." I think "Just like you this morning..." I continue to speak out loud "And at the very last second his armour durability was expired... Knov used a crystal to teleport out of his armour..."

I frown "Sure... It looks the same as a player dying... The only thing is he never died!" Killua looks over to me "What about Palm?" I think out loud "Hmm... The same thing the dagger was rigged to her back the whole time think about it? Did she ever turn around?"

Killua sighs "You're right..." I nod "I know I am she made sure to check her armour durability while she was talking... When it got down to zero all she had to do was act as though she got hit by a dagger thrown from outside the window..."

Killua nods after he realises something "Hold on then who were you chasing?" I shrug "Knov I guess... They were buddies together they used this method so they could fake their own deaths and figure out who was the real culprit. Getting people to think they got murdered in a safe zone was a calculated twist!"

Killua sighs "They were just trying to draw out the real murderer for Komugi... And expose them... The only way to find out for sure is by faking their deaths and then creating an illusionary avenger!"

I murmur "That leaves Shaiapouf... He was their target probably since the beginning... Hey Killua do you still have Palm on your friends list?" Killua checks "Yeah she's still there... She's currently on floor 19... A small hill? A bit further out of town..."

I nod "That's it then... They can deal with it... Well our job is down now you think about it. Wouldn't you agree?" Killua nods "Mm hmm!"

We decide to have dinner at a restaurant as I smile thinking "Damn... It must be my lucky day..." I sigh "Looks like we got played by Palm... Although I don't mind..." I smile at Killua thinking in my head "I got to spend more time with you..."

Killua sighs with a frown "Sadly me too... Hey, If that was you in the guild and a super rare item drops... What would you have done?" I smile at Killua thinking "I would have given it to you..." I blink a couple of times thinking "Shit! I'm over thinking things here say something!"

I speak up "Honestly... Perplexed... Finders keepers or give it to the person that needs it most... I guess. If we were a guild of two members. Honestly I would give it to you... Because you'll put it to better use. But Since I'm solo... I don't have to worry about such things..."

Killua blushes "Thanks... I guess... In the guild I am in, the person who finds it gets to keep it..." I look up "Interesting..." Killua nods "That's just how we roll in our guild... I guess it's the same as in HO... Hunter's Online... When an rare item drops it isn't reported unless of course they open their big fat gob and blurt it out..."

I nod "Just like how people flaunt their V-card like it's a present waiting to be given... My god at school all I heard was bro I lost my Virginity to that girl over there... She's a slut! Don't care still got laid! And they would high five..."

Killua gawks at me as I respond "What? It's just no annoying... You would think that shit gets old after a while! But if high school finishes and you still have it your considered a... What's the word..."

I click my fingers trying to remember "An outcast..." Killua sits there mortified as I sigh "The point I'm trying to make is when someone finds a rare item they treat it the same as a V-card. It's like they found the Holy Grail or something..."

Killua coughs "Anyways... What we do in the guild is so nobody can horde stuff... We work out who gets what ahead of time... There's also the guild I'm in gives the concept of marriage real meaning..."

I turn pale thinking "Oh god... My crush is talking to me about marriage... This isn't going to end well..." Killua sighs "Think about it if you get married you have to share your item storage... And if your single you get to hide whatever you want... But when you're married good luck..."

I smile "I think sharing your items with the one you love is the best thing you can do... No secrets and you get to get it's both romantic and productive..." Killua grins "You just want to dump your junk on someone!"

Our food is brought over as I smile "So... Um... how many people have you gotten married to?" Killua looks mortified at me as I smirk "Oh so you're still single like me... huh?" Killua smiles as he quickly grabs the knife pointing at me "Open your mouth like that again and I'll permanently cut it off!"

I push the chair back to defend myself "Sorry! You get lots of people-woman going after you so you must have been married a lot of times by now..." Killua hair flows up as he emits a sinister aura "And what are you implying now... Hmm..."

I look shocked at him "Put down the knife and I'll tell you..." Killua lays down the knife smiling evilly as I sigh "I'm just saying with your good looks..." Killua blushes as I continue "Your smile... Body... Hair... Eyes... Personality... When you're not point knifes at them... Can be a really strong magnet for you..."

Killua smiles with cheeks so red you would assume his a tomato or cherry "I think it's more practical..." I lift an eyebrow being caught off guard "Practical...?" I respond confused "Killua nods still flushed "Everything is in front of you because of the common storage..."

I flinch as Killua looks at me "What?" I scratch my chin "No way... If your spouse dies... Who gets the items?" Killua blinks confused "What are you on about now?" I sigh "Item storage is shared right? So when a partner dies what happens to their stuff?"

Killua scratches his cheek "If we go by Meruem and Komugi... If one dies... Well Meruem gets the items..." Killua flinches as I smile "Bingo! That means Meruem has the ring... and not the killer... It's been sitting there the whole time..."

Killua blinks "That means-" I interject "It was never stolen in the first place..." Killua blinks a couple of times "Wow~ Zephile was right we do finish each other's sentences..."

I turn red in the cheeks as I attempt to distract myself "Still the time it was stolen, if we think about it Meruem was stealing it the minute he put his plan into action... Which means..." I point at Killua "You get Meruem and I'll go tell the others who the real culprit is!"

Time Skip

I'm riding the horse to the location as the horse swings up startled. I fall on my butt rubbing it "That's gonna leave a mark..." I look up as some cloaked figures before me "Looks like theirs a party started here and I wasn't invited..."

I slap the horse as it runs away I draw my weapon "So you're the infamous Laughing Coffins... Now what are you going to do with the guest of honour?"
