[insert text: Finally, he has found his nemesis!!]
[TN: As for Pitou... // Gon's words did not even register to him. // Every one of his brain cells... // ...was hard at work attempting to find the solution... // ...to the problem of how best to overcome this situation and properly execute the King's orders.

Hunter x Hunter
#274: Solution
Gon: [distorted and illegible text]
Pitou: (I MUST PROTECT KOMUGI // NO MATTER WHAT...!!!)

3
Killua: (Something's wrong...)
[Text: Killua, watching the scene from just behind Gon, noticed something odd.]
Killua: (Why is it that even though I'm right in front of him... // ...he doesn't seem to be preparing to fight...? // He only has a weak aura around him... // He's as good as naked. // He's almost completely defenceless!! // Is he just that confident that he can win......? // He thinks he doesn't even need his Aura? // No!! That's impossible! // The aura around Gon is on a completely different level to before!!)

4
Killua: (Even Pitou... // ...couldn't possibly hope to survive that with flesh and blood alone...!! // In which case... // The delay? // At this distance, even if the enemy does attack... // He has the confidence that he can activate his Nen to meet it in that interval...?!! // I could accept that. // But... why?! That's not what it looks like at all...!! // To look at him... yes... // ...You'd almost think he was...)

5
Killua: (A mother...!!! // Protecting her feeble young with her own body...!! // But that's crazy............!! That's...!! That's not like him at all!!)

6
Killua: (But... // In that case, why did Gramps...)
Flashback!Zeno: The situation inside is your call.
Killua: (Why did he give a cryptic remark like that...?)
[Text: Whilst Killua was struggling with his own intuition... // Gon, for his part... // ...was gazing at the floor behind Pitou... // ...and though it was a girl lying there... // ...all he saw was Kaito.]

7
[no text just rage]

8
Gon: Get away... // ...from that person.
[TN: Oh, no... bad move >_<]
Gon: I'm telling you and that freakish monster of yours... // ...to get away from her!!! // And then... // Fight with me!! // Fight me... // And then... Kaito...

9
[Text: Those upturned palms... // ...were Pitou's ultimate gesture to show that he held no malice. // Killua understood this.]
Pitou: Please... // Just wait...

10
Gon: Don't screw with me!!! // What are you asking me to wait for, huh?!!! // Get up!!!! // We're going outside!!!
[Text: Faced with an utterly unviolent Pitou, Gon had lost his outlet for his overflowing emotions. // Meanwhile... // Killua was slowly beginning to grasp the situation before him...]

11
Flashback!Zeno: I know nothing outside the confines of my mission.
Killua: (He meant... // He meant that there was something he hadn't been told about!! // He sent his dragons crashing down oblivious of the situation...!! // Almost certainly, Gramps' mission... // ...was to use "Dragon Dive" and "Dragon Head" to separate the King from his Guards. // But what he hadn't been aware of... // ...was this girl here! // No... more than that, this girl... // ...She must be a third party of whom none of us were aware!! // In which case... this is only speculation, but... this could also be the reason the King injured himself...!! // Why would the King do a crazy thing like that...?! // ......The reason for that must be... // ...He considered this girl "special". // Right now, this girl... // He's not harming her...)

12
Killua: (He's following the King's orders... // ...and healing her wounds...!!!)
[Text: But telling this to Gon would only make things worse...]
Killua: (Pitou's healing ability doesn't just force him to release his En... // ...it forces him to concentrate his entire Aura on that single task!!)
[Text: ...of this, Killua was fully aware.]
Killua: (What should I do?! // What can I say.........?!)

13
Killua: Go -
Pitou: Anything!! // I'll do anything you ask of me!! // So please, just wait! // I...

14
Pitou: I have to save this person... // ...no matter what it takes!!
Gon: "Save"......? // "Save"...... what?

15
Killua: "Anything"... He said he'd do anything, Gon -
Gon: Killua. // I know what he said. // "Have to save"...... // What do you mean?
[Text: Komugi's life rested on his answer to this question. // But he did not know how best to reply. // With the atmosphere strained to its very limits...]
Pitou: This person... she is...
[Text: ...the answer which Pitou chose...]

16
Pitou: ...someone very important... // ...to someone precious to me.
[Text: ...was the simple and honest truth.]
Pitou: Because of this person, the King... the King... // If she were to perish now, the King... // ...he would no longer be the King. // That's just how important...... that's why... // Just as long as I save her... // ...I don't care what happens after that.

17
Pitou: As soon as I've healed her... // I'll do whatever you say...!! // So... // Please, wait...
Gon: You want... // ...to save her? // "Have to save"......... // That's what you meant?
[Text: Gon...]
Gon: *pant*... // *pant*

18
Gon: How can you say... // ...a thing like that.........?!
[Text: ...was engaged in...]
Gon: How can you.........?!!!
[Text: ...a most furious battle. // Unable to find any excuse to fight this man...]
Gon: Dammitall......!
[Text: ...he battled furiously with himself......]
