Hello, you've reached the Zoldyck Butler Quarters Hello? My name is Gon and I'm Killua's friend.
Can I speak to him please?
Killua-sama doesn't have any friends Hello, you've reached the Zoldyck Butler Quarters.
Um, what's that supposed to mean?
Why can't I talk to.. Killua-sama doesn't have any friends.
Hello, you've reached...
How do you know that he doesn't have any friends?!
Let me talk to Killua right now!
Did you say your name was Gon-kun?
That's right.
Let's assume for a moment tha Killua-sama is, in fact, friends with someone named Gon But there's no way for me to know that you really are him Put Killua on the phone, he can tell!
You mean by the sound of your voice?
I'm afraid that's not good enough Why not?!
Put Killua on the phone, he can tell It was just a recording but there are so many other ways to imitate someone's voice Yeah, but...
Now you're going to tell me that he'd know you if he sees you in person, right?
Again, even though it's more difficult there are ways to make yourself look like someone else Who knows, someone after Killua-sama could be using Gon to get to him.
Assassination is the family business Naturally, this creates a lot of enemies But it's my job to make sur those enemies don't get anywhere near them So as long as you pose even the slightest threat to Killua-sama.. there's absolutely no way I can allow you to see him I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave Hey! Gon!
What happened?
What did he say to you He said Killua doesn't have any friends.
He also said I may be after him so he can't allow me to see him But if he isn't gonna let me in.. I'll find my own way That's too dangerous!
He's right!
If you go over that wall, you'll be chewed up by pooch Meki!
I know that.
But I just don't get it It's not right that I have to be tested to see my friend You guys wait for me here I'll go by myself Are you kidding?!
There's no way you're gonna get past that monster all by yourself!
I'll think of something.
What?!
Would you two calm down?!
Don't worry, it'll be all right!
No, you won't! That's what I've been trying to tell you!
You've left me no choice.
You wanna die or something?!
Here, Gon-kun, use this.
I'll be all right!
Is that the key for the side door?
Yeah.
No sense in breaking your neck trying to climb over the wall.
It's much easier to use the door Hold on...
To tell you the truth I agree with what Gon-kun was just saying It doesn't seem right that you have to be tested in order to see a friend But you can't force your way in. Meki will kill you for sure But you've already proved how stubborn you are So I've decided to go inside there with you What?!
There's a chance that Meki will recognize me if I'm with you and he might not attack you Though the chances are very slim.. We can't let you do that You've already gone out of your way so much to help us Well, I insist.
It would be the same fate either way.
I could never face young Master Killua if I let his friend get eaten by Meki without at least trying to help them If you die, then I die, too I'm really sorry.. I wasn't thinking about you What a good kid.
He's very determined...
Yet, he's willing to put aside his own desires for the sake of others He trusts himself and his friends He must be confident that they can overcome anything as a team.. And that's not all.. Hey, Gon-kun, would you like to meet Meki?
Huh? Sure.
Then I'll open the Testing Gate again
so you can see him face to face this time Okay.
Hey, are you sure it's safe for us to be in here?
Of course. If you enter through the Testing Gate
you're not considered an intruder.
Something's coming.
He's here!
This is...
This is Meki.
Now do you understand This is a highly trained hunting beast You thought you'd be able to communicate with him.. Until you looked into his eyes At the moment, Meki is getting to know you by memorizing your appearance and scent He doesn't care about anything else Like a machine.. Exactly.
If the conditions are met he'd kill me in a heartbeat, even though I see him everyday So, Gon-kun... Can you fight him I don't want to.
I'm scared... I don't want to fight him, ever.. Such honesty.
We should probably get moving.
Huh?
The servant's quarters aren't too far from here.
There's no sense chatting out here Come on, follow me Seaquant.
What do you know, we've got company.
I'll introduce you This is Seaquant, one of my colleagues These boys are friends of Master Killua's Gon-kun, Leorio-kun, and Kurapika Nice to meet you Master Killua's friends?
Well, make yourselves at home Or try to, anyway, it won't be easy What does he mean by that?
Okay, you three. Come this way.
Go ahead and open the doors. You just gotta push Here, I'll try!
These doors... won't budge Each door weighs 200kg.
All right!
There ya go... That wasn't so tough.
They slam shut, just like the Testing Gate.
So you shouldn't really let up You could've told me sooner.
Well, come on in.
Thank you very much.
What's with these slippers They each weigh 20kg. Please come in.
Here you go.
Oh, thanks.
What's wrong You'll see. Go ahead and pick it up Right This cup is a lot heavier than it looks In order to live here, we have to train ourselves constantly.
The inside of the Testing Gate sure isn't suited for average people.
Hey, we're Hunters!
We can't be scared off so easily, right You're Hunters?
Yeah! We are all Hunters!
Oh?
Yeah, big deal What? Even if you got a Hunter license that doesn't mean much...
There are lots of times when it's completely useless.
I was watching you just now I bet you didn't even open the Testing Gate, did you That's what I thought If you can't even open the gate you have no business being here You should go home now before you get hurt Hang on just a second!
If I open the Testing Gate, will you take that back?!
Leorio!
Well, I'm gonna do it!
I can't just stand here an let some guy who's not even a Hunter put us down like that I'm gonna do it too!
I'll keep on trying until I open the Testing Gate Gon.
I just feel like, if I can't even open that gate.. maybe I don't deserve to talk to someone in the Zoldyck family I know.
I'm just worried we won't have enough time Time?
That's right!
I seem to remember some young imbecile didn't wanna use his Hunter License so he entered the country on a tourist visa That means you can only stay in Padokea for a maximum of a month But the three of you are young.. so we should have enough time Would you like to train here with me at the house Can we?!
If you'd like to.
Let's do it Thank you!
I'm ready for it!
Well then, why don't we get started right away Yeah!
My, my...
This is part of our training Yes.
