Kura: Ugh…
Bill: Oh! I’m so glad…
Bill: I was conflicted whether to take the risk and call a doctor or not.
Kura: What time is it now?
Bill: Shhh.
Bill: The rest haven’t noticed yet that you have collapsed!!
Bill: They still think that you’re in a mission. So lower your volume.
Kura: How long…have I been unconscious?
Bill: Ahm…for about 9 hours.
Kura: That long…
Kura: How is the Queen?
Bill: She collapsed around the same time as you did.
Kura: Wha…
Oito is lying on her bed and the dolphin is still activated.
Kurapika panicks
Kura: (Emperor Time!! It’s been on for…12 hours now…!!)
Oito wakes up.
Oito: Where is Wobble…?
Shimano: She is here.
Bill: Doesn’t this mean that when you reach your limits that the one sharing your ability will also experience the same thing?
Kura: (So this must mean that Emperor Time’s limit is 3 hours and once you exceed that limit, the burden will be multiplied by 3 and you end up collapsing for the 9 hours faigue…?!)
Kura: (No…it may also depend on the stolen power (cost) and that the time limits end up being different…!)
Kura: (The activation is still valid…The pulsation sounding like an explosion must be the sign that I’m close to my limits.)
Kura: Your highness.
Oito: I know. I will continue the search.
Oito: Should I re-start from the 12th Prince?
Kura: No…unexpectedly, my power has reached its limit. The deep sleep was caused because of that.
Kura: Therefore, we will change the order of the search. First, please search the guards of the 4th prince and their locations.
Oito: You look awful…Are you really fine...?
Kura: To be honest, even I don’t know that. That’s why I need to cancel your ability and tell it to the dolphin once I give you the signal.
Oito: Tserriednich is the priority, right.
Oito makes a cold expression.
Oito: Did you make this decision for your personal convenient?
Kura: No…There’s an even bigger, tactical reason for that.
Kura: First, it’s likely that all guards of the first prince are Nen users. They probably won’t let an ant enter their room.
Kura: So if we can test their security and if the final limit hasn’t be reached yet then I was thinking to test that at the end.
Kura: The reason why the 2nd prince didn’t respond to our offer is because all the guards are Nen users too.
Kura: The reason why I don’t even consider to spy on the 2nd prince is because one of the nen users already has that ability and I consider Slakka who is working directly under Queen Duazul as enough.
Kura: It’s probably because the 2nd prince holds all of the authority.
Shimano: You’re likely correct with that deduction. The only person that Camilla sama listens to is the King…!
Kura: And I successfully connected with the 3rd prince.
Kura: Therefore, the one I lack information about and the one who should be prioritized is the 4th prince.
Oito: …
Kura: Your highness. I understand your concerns. That’s why I tell you this again and again.
Kura: We’re here to protect both the prince and the Queen. Please believe in us.
Shimano: …Oito Sama…!!
Wobble reaches her hands to Kurapika.
Oito: Wobble…
Wobble: Aa,Ba!
Kurapika reaches his hands to Wobble.
Kura: What do you think about this, Prince Wobble?
Wobble shakes Kurapika’s hands.
Wobble: Da! Da!
Oito’s expression loosens.
The cockroach passes through the exhaust port.
Oito: (I have to be careful…and not get lost…!)
Oito: (But if I don’t hurry up, the burden will only get bigger for Kurapika…!)
Oito: (I have to turn the corner and then I will get to Tserriednich’s room)
Oito: Hyaaaaaaa!!!
Babimyna who has heard Oito’s scream rushes towards her.
Babi: Queen Oito! What happened?
Kurapika holds him back.
Kura: Don’t worry. She had a bad dream. Please get back to your position.
Babi: …
Kura: What happened, Queen Oito?
Oito: A woman's face suddenly appeared in the passageway of the exhaust port…and the bug was likely eaten by that person too,.
Dolphin: Little eye has been forcefully canceled.
Oito: Ahm…The dolphin…right beside me…? Just said that the ability has been forcefully canceled.
Kura: …I understand. Please instruct the Dolphin to cancel its ability.
Oito: Yes.
The dolphin disappears.
Kura: (After all…full 9 hours have passed…! We didn’t get anything but it only cost us time…!)
Kura: Due to security reasons, no one should be able to get in the exhaust port. So it must be the Nenju protecting the prince…!
Kurapika’s fatigue gets only worse.
Kura: Ugh…
Kura: (Even with constraints…it doesn’t lessen the burden on my body….it seems)
Kura: (I have to carefully use my ability or one single mistake could cost my life…A toxic sword…!)
Oito: …Ahm…I’m sorry for getting confused and upset…
Kura: Please don’t be sorry! I’m grateful that you accepted my sudden request and helped us out.
Oito: Could you also…teach my how to use Nen?
Oito: You said that just by knowing it will increase the chance of survival, right?
Oito: Indeed, it makes a vast difference between knowing that world and not knowing it.
Oito: I want to increase the things I can do! For Wobble…!
Kura: I’m sorry…
Oito: You can’t do it…? Why…? Is it because it would end up being disadvantageous?
Kura: No, that’s not what I mean. I’m apologizing because it ended up as a post consent.
Oito: What?
Kura: My ability has a side effect.
Kura: If it’s used by a non-nen user then it will forcefully awaken that person’s nen ability.
Oito: Then…
Kura: Yes.
Kura: Queen Oito, your nen ability is ready.
[Day 2: 9 am]
The respective guards and servants of the princes have gathered to Room 1014.
Prince Marayam’s guard: Bererenente (Hunter Association.)
Prince Marayam’s guard: Viken (Works for Queen Sevanti.)
Both remember message from Sevanti.
Sevanti: I want you to verify whether he will teach Nen the right way or not! In detail!
Bererenente: (Ufufu the way she said “in detail” is cute.)
Sevanti: Go acquire Nen within the deadline! It’s a supreme order!
Viken: (She assigned this mission to me and not to Wilgae. I must capitalize on this opportunity!)
Fugetsu’s servants: (W…why do we have to go there and not the guards…)
Kacho’s servants: (It’s only for a few hours but we can leave the room!)
Halkenburg’s guards: Scheerle&Yuhirai
A feather is also stamped on their hands.
They remember the conversation they had with Halkenburg.
All of the guards have a feather stamped on their hands.
Guard: What is this?
Halken: I don’t know it either.
Halken: It’s probably the Nenju that Wobble’s guard discovered.
Halken: Please find out what this is. You are allowed to disclose all of our information.
Scheerle: I believe that this is because of the Prince’s Nenju.
Yuhirai: I agree. It’s the very representation of the prince’s preach “The seal of resolve”.
Prince Sale Sale’s guard: Muhacho (Works for Queen Duazul)
Satobi: (It’s the perfect opportunity to find out the moves of the other guards.)
Satobi: (But…I can’t bare the fact that we’re being controlled by one mere guard…! He must be a dangerous person…)
Prince Tubeppa’s guards: Maor&Longi
Message from Tubeppa: I would like to acquire his intelligence! I would like to get him in my circle even if that means the prince will come along. Use these 2 weeks to persuade him!
Maor: The most definite way to negotiate in front of other people’s eyes is to use a letter…
Longi: It’s most definitely risky to communicate with some kind of codes.

Prince Tserriednich's guard Myuhan & Danjin (Tserriednich's Private Army)
A message from Tserriednich: If you aren't able to acquire nen within the 2 weeks deadline, you are free to kill everyone.
Myuhan: Did he really say that? *Chuckles*
Danjin: Hey. Don't intentionally fail to learn it okay?
Prince Zhang Lei's guard, Tenphtori (Zhang Lei's Private Army)
A message from Zhang Lei: You are to check anyone who's been in contact with Kurapika, and not the Queen. He is the key from now on.
Tenphtori: (So I have to take caution with... The 1st, the 4th, and the 5th)
---
Prince Benjamin's Guard, Hyurikof (Benjamin's Private Army)
Hyurikof: (Who would've thought of the enemy to invite us in like this...)
Hyurikof: (From their ways of teaching, using, and describing Nen, I'll be able to learn hints to their system and abilities...!)
Hyurikof: (This is the power of my Nen... Or rather, my skill cultivated from experience...!)
Hyurikof: (Because my life is on the line, it's my final move that I can't tell anybdoy)
Hyurikof: (The easiest way to discern a Nen user from a non-Nen user... Is their fluctuation of the eyeball when seen from the side...)
Hyurikof: (Hmm...?)
Hyurikof: (A member of the Hunter's Association would obviously be able to use Nen... After that, there's those 4 guys pretending to not know Nen...)
Hyurikof: (If their reason for being here is the same as the Association members of undercover investigation, then there's no problem. But, if they are carrying out the same "mission" as mine... )
Hyurikof: (... then I will exercise my rights of self-defense as soon as you guys activate your Nen abilities!)
Hyurikof: (Come at me whenever. Bring it on!)
Hyurikof: (... Hmph, there may be people who make these expressionless faces with their eyes closed. I don't have to look at your face; your auras will also tell me the truth)
Hyurikof: (If that's the case, so be it. "There are 11 people" (*read as "Silent Majority")and I will activate my ability!)
To Hyurikof's sides, Nen maids are being conjured up.
