Mental State

"Hey, little boy, what are you doing in this forest? Strolling? Enjoying the view of the forest?"

With a curious tone, Zen asked the little boy who was walking right beside him, of course, still with a slightly weird pronunciation.

He felt strange because very few little boys who want to play around in the forest, especially when the technological era ruled the world today.

"Oh. I tried fishing for lake monsters before, too bad that the lake monsters didn't want to grab my bait."

The little boy said in a slightly disappointed tone.

"I have to catch the lake monster, at least before the time determined by Mito-san is up!"

In contrast to the tone of disappointment just now, the little boy named Gon said with a tinge of enthusiasm and also full of determination. He clenched his fists. His fists began to hit the air!

"Lake Monster? Really?... If you need help, tell me, Gon. I might be able to help you! I was once a pretty good fisherman, hahaha ~."

With a light laugh, Zen said as he demonstrated some of the fishing movements he knew. As for when Gon said that he wanted to catch the lake monster, Zen just ignored that.

He thinks the lake monster referred to by Gon is a fish that has a length and size no more significant than an adult's man arm, at least that's what Zen thought.

While continuing to walk and also chatting lightly, Gon and Zen step out of the direction of the forest. If previously they both walked on the grass, now they walk right on a pathway.

Zen thinks that he will soon meet with people who live around this forest.

At now, there is a house that stands right on a small hill that begins to enter Zen's view.

Gon, with his carefree attitude, immediately offered Zen to visit his house.

It seems that the house on the top of a small hill is Gon Family house.

Zen wanted to refuse, but this little boy forced him. Therefore Zen could only nod his head. He thought of repaying this kindness next time.

It seems that the settlement is still far from Gon's house, which stands right on the top of a small hill. It is not known for sure why Gon 's parents built a house that has a considerable distance from settlement areas. Zen could only shrug his shoulders; anyway, this was none of his business.

Maybe he could rest for one night outside Gon's house (terrace), at least tomorrow he will try to find a bus that can drive him to the city. Luckily he pocketed quite a lot of money in his pants pocket.

"By the way, Gon. So, where are we? I mean, what part of Korea are we on? I feel very strange and not familiar with this place. "

Zen said in a questioning tone. He was interested in this place. He thought that he was far away from the city, at least Zen believes that he is in a small village.

If so, he can be sure that he was very far from the city.

"Korea? I don't know if there are any Korean islands out there, but doesn't Zen-san know? Right now, we are on a small island called Whale Island! (Kujira Island). "

"Hmm... Whale Island? I've never heard that name before. W-wait. Hmm?!"

Zen suddenly stopped his footsteps. His eyebrows began to wrinkle as an expression of thought appeared on his face.

'Whale Island? Gon? Mito? What!!!'

Zen's heart starts screaming! His eyes began to shift towards Gon's body, and there's no mistake. It is precisely the same! Gon Freecs! A fictional character he knows, a character from the anime Hunter x Hunter that he had seen accidentally several years ago!

* Gulp *

"Actually... What happened to me?"

Swallowing, Zen began to doubt his current mental state.
