Chapter 15
"It's crazy just how forgiving the worker ants are. I went on a rampage and killed a bunch of them while they were working hard on repairs. *sigh* Nya~ I still don't know how I ended up in this situation." Pitou lamented while pouting. "Aaaaaand...I'm getting anxious. There's no one to fight anymore, at least nobody as strong as me." With no enemies in sight she stared at the sunset alone at her old post where she used to spread her En in order to provide security for Meruem. "One day, I'll remember everything and I be able to defeat that kid once and for all and move on with my life." As she said that she tried activating her aura but of course nothing happened. "What did I expect? Oh well...what to do nyow?" she asked herself.
A week has past since Pitou had her last hallucination of Gon. Her reaction to it ended up costing the lives of several worker ants who were working on repairing the heavily damaged palace. Many of them questioned the worth of following someone as dangerous as the current queen, others kept quiet and act as if nothing happened. There was plenty of tension in the air, but the promise of rebuilding the ant kingdom and establishing themselves as a nation was worth it. Even if they have deformities or corrupted figures, each and every one of them came from a human being. That was a trait they all had shared. Pitou was the one who spontaneously proposed that they make peace with human society. The royal guard and worker ants all noticed a change in their queen whom most would remember her heinous actions months ago.
Jagren and Inuka have succeeded in developing a 'Hatsu' technique by means of nen training, just as the queen commanded. Though still rough around the edges with plenty of room for improvement, they showed amazing signs of potential. Pitou noticed how quickly they progressed and decided to reward them for their efforts. She invited all of the royal guard to her quarters for...an event.
"P-party?!" exclaimed Hippotsu. Pitou-sama if I may, why would such a thing be necessary?
Pitou looked at Hippotsu and rolled her eyes "because I'm bored! Is that good enough for you?" she said bluntly.
Hippotsu stared at his queen baffled but immediately bowed and acknowledged her statement.
Jagren was as excitable as ever. Being personally invited into the queens room was an honor in itself but it seems that there were other things on his mind "The queens room again? I wonder if she has any naughty outfits...hehehe!" he thought to himself while drooling.
Pitou allowed the royal guard members to follow her into her room and the four of them sat down around a square table. Pitou encouraged the group to talk and have snacks that were traditional for the human palate . Inuka prepared several different treats including cookies, crackers, donuts and other pastries. "I hope this is to your liking Pitou-sama!" Said Inuka.
"It all looks delicious, thanks for preparing it Inuka." Said Pitou.
"MY PLEASURE YOUR MAJESTY!" Inuka jumped up and down in an excited manner while her tail wagged in response to being praised.
There were several reasons why Neferpitou was holding this party.
1) To see how the Royal Guard would respond to her being overly casual with them
2) To see if other Chimera ants could obtain nutrition from other food groups rather than meat
3) To discuss her plans on providing a bright future for all of their kind and unifying Chimera ants with the rest of the world
Hippotsu had some lingering thoughts about this situation. Most of his thoughts were of how inappropriate it was to sit so casually in front of royalty like the way he's doing now. But he's more bothered by the fact that Neferpitou doesn't seem to care either way. "I may be a lowley doctor, but I did promise everyone here that we'd continue Meruem's legacy by means of our new Queen. To think she'd completely disregard the feelings of all chimera ants is absurd. B-but she is royalty and we have to listen to her commands" Hippotsu didn't know what to make of his queen.
They all sat down around the small table, waiting to hear Pitou's commands.
Pitou's arms were crossed as she was in deep thought about how to even start a conversation so casually like this. Pitou took a quick look at Jagren, then she looked at Hippotsu and finally she glanced at Inuka before looking down and saying "Meow we all have a chance to relax! Let's enjoy this brief time together you three. Okay?"
Meanwhile
There was a certain academy nearby Whale island that had students from nations all around the world that come in attendance. This school enrolls students from all kinds of background. From pre-schoolers to high schoolers, enrollment is available for everyone equally. Currently there are two students here who are under the influence of a certain nen ability. "Huh? Where did I get this...let...ter" immediately her eyes began to fade. The girl started walking and found her destination: an empty classroom that was meant for middle school students. The letter was placed under the desk of the student it was addressed to.
"So far, things are going according to plan. We now have out 'contingency' in set." Said the bird chimera ant
"I sssssseeeeee, hehehe, yes. That is a very ssssmart plan!" Said the cobra chimera ant
"Revenge will be sweet when our plan is finally complete!" said the bird chimera ant
