3 tier passageway
Phinks and Feitan are trying to find Ei-I's hideout by looking at the transmitter.
Nobunaga joins them and they walk together.
Feitan is holding the transmitter. On the way to the fourth floor, the signal weakens. This means that Ei-I has a hideout on the second floor.
Nobunaga becomes more wary when he sees this. The enemy's strategy is superior to his expectations, and depending on the boss's (Morena's) abilities, they may even become a formidable opponent for the Phantom Troupe.
Nobunaga suggests taking Franklin with them. The official reason is to act as insurance in case they encounter Hisoka along the way, but Phinks and the others suspect that Franklin is actually too attached to the enemy.
While they were talking, the B.W.'s intercom system started to play. It seemed that there had been news of a death.
6th Prince Tyson's Room
- Madwig, the amnesiac hitman
- Global superstar Himanse
- Tyson's hidden younger brother, Angel
- Legendary Tutor Hyuuga
- Prince made by Moony
Giuliano is introduced to a group of unique characters, including the above. He blurts out that it's role-playing, but Tyson warns him not to say so.
Izunavi watches this and considers the possibility that this is not roleplaying, but rather that Tyson is controlling it with the powers of his Nen beast.
If Tyson's Nen beast's purpose is love and there is no malice in its manipulation, then it may even be possible to manipulate the king and stop the succession war.
During a conversation with Tyson, Izunavi realizes that Tyson is paying closer attention to himself and the situation around him than he had expected. He gives Tyson advice on how to show the scriptures to the king.
In front of Kachou's room
Queen Seiko, the parent of Kachou and Fugetsu, is having trouble with the royal soldiers.
He is dissatisfied with the fact that his daughter Kachou has died and that Kachou's room has been closed off. He claims that he is doing this out of concern for his daughter, but deep down he hates Kachou and only thinks of using her. Seiko also only sees Fugetsu as someone who is useful to her.
judicial bureau
Senritsu, who has learned of Kachou's death, is talking to the Nen beast (a guardian spirit beast created from posthumous thoughts) that has taken on the appearance of Kachou. He is shocked that his actions have led to Kachou's death.
However, Kachou himself remains positive and works with Senritsu and Kaisar to eliminate the higher-ranking princes in order to make Fugetsu king.
Kaisar suggests poisoning the high-ranking prince, but Senritsu cannot understand Kaisar's reason for taking such a risky action and asks why he would go to such lengths.
Kaisar confesses his love to Senritsu and tells him that it's for his own good, but Senritsu doesn't believe him at all and thinks that Kaisar has manipulation-type abilities.
After confirming what everyone needs to do, Kaiser leaves the room.
He gives orders to Steiner.
Fugetsu's Room
Kachou discovers that Fugetsu is not in the room.
While they are searching, Fugetsu returns, clearly insane.
Kachou shares the situation with Senritsu and asks for help, saying that he cannot solve it on his own.
Senritsu asks Kaisar to arrange a time when they will pass each other so that he can check on Fugetsu himself.
Senritsu checks on Fugetsu as they pass each other. His eyes are vacant, insects are flying around the back of his head, and he is being followed by what appears to be the spirit of an unborn child, which has weakened his aura to an extreme degree.
It is possible that this was an attack by one of the princes' private soldiers, but since Fugetsu's condition closely resembles the description of the curse's state, it is most likely a curse caused by the Nen ability "We were born to make the numbers add up" of the former Fuujimin, private soldiers of the second prince, Camilla.
The private soldier in charge of Fugetsu is Mozube.
Senritsu doesn't know the cause, but speculates that it may be an attack by another prince, and that negotiations will be held with Fugetsu as a hostage.
judicial bureau
While Senritsu is in custody, visitors come one after another.
Senritsu believes that the person who caused Fugetsu's abnormal state will come to negotiate as a hostage, but no one's heartbeat gives any indication of this.
14th Prince Wable Room
Kurapika undergoing Nen training.
While Longi is developing his Nen ability, it seems he is a Nen user. In a private room where no one can hear, he receives a request from the fifth prince, Tsubeppa.
Kurapika agrees to become Tsubeppa's collaborator (partner).
