01)
A friend recovered--once again, ant subjugation!!

Chapter 295 - Determination

03)
side text 1: Knuckle's declaration of war!!
1: Before that
2: allow me to say something.
3: The me standing before you now
4: is, to put things simply, a clone.
5: The real me is already
6: heading toward the side of the King.
side text 2: What is Pufu's scheme...?!

04)
1: After he escaped from the smoke jail, Pufu confirmed the fact that Knuckle and Morau were drawing close to him
2: and instantly decided that under the hypothesis that they knew about his splitting technique, it would be advantageous to take an action.
3: That was correct.
4: I heard about your cloning
5: The reason Knuckle said this
6: from the boss...it's the real thing.
7: was to inform Gon.
8: By saying the truth first, he psychologically forestalls.
9: Why, though
10: did you mention it yourself?
11: Pufu's scheme succeeded.

05)
1: Pufu's goal
2: dealt with Yupi.
3: Knuckle being here now
4: meant that Yupi had let him get away, which he was keeping silent about to himself.
5: Depending on the reason...
6: In order to search out the true meaning about Yupi's transformation from Knuckle,
7: there was a need to peacefully leave this location.

06)
1: First, I need to gain Gon's assent.
2: He is requesting that I do not move from this spot.
3: It will be necessary, however, to revocate that request and change our location for a one-on-one battle.
4: I will not use splitting or scales.
5: But if you're fine with that, then I will fight you.
6(2b): What I desire, rather, is to talk. That's why I confessed.
7: Pufu knew that it would be very effective to "speak honestly"
8: to someone who purposefully calls out to someone behind him
9: and requests a one-on-one battle.
10: Liar.
11: Just a little bit ago,
12: you tried to kill me from back there.

07)
1: You said it yourself.
2: Don't let him trick you, Knuckle.
3: First, you said you're a clone, and not the real thing, right?
4: Where's your proof of that?
5: Uu...
6: He's got a point...
7: This guy
8: is dangerous.

08)
1: He may have the most unflinching volition...
2: out of all our enemies!!
3: ...Maybe I should actually be welcoming the fact
4: that he's currently tied up with Pitou.
5: After all, he will stay here
6: due to his unflinching volition.
7: Proving that I am not the real me
8: will put me at a severe disadvantage, so I cannot say.
9: My only choice
10: is to have you determine the truth for yourselves.
11: And...

09)
1: as for what you do after that...
2: I leave that up to you, Gon.
3: Pufu...could it be?
4: Don't...!!

10)
1: I will wait for 10 minutes at the main entrance!!
2: It's up to you whether you come or not!!

11)
1: Wait, please!! I'm right here!!
2(2b): I apologize about Pufu!! All that matters is that I'm here, right?
3: Ten minutes...
4: Fix her 10 minutes quicker
5: than you planned.

12)
1: Pitou shivered.
2: The fact that Pufu had determined that it didn't matter how things turned out here, and so he left
3: had disturbed her considerably, but even more than that
4: Gon's announcement of shortening the time without worrying about possibly provoking her
5: was frightening.
6: In the beginning, Pitou had purposefully overestimated the time needed for surgery fully out of a desire to protect and completely heal Komugi.
7: How much time
8: do you need?
9: For full recovery...
10: I think I'll need 3-4 hours.
11: But Gon rejected that.
12: No.
13: I can't wait.

13)
1: The one hour that the two of them had decided on from that
2: was actually the actual time Pitou had assumed she would need after inspecting Komugi's condition.
3: From the numerous experiences she'd had up until now, however, Doctor Bryce's techniques had matured.
4: At this point in the healing, she had just come to believe
5: that she might be able to finish 10 minutes quicker than she had intended.
6: It was probably a coincidence.
7: There was a high possibility that Gon was simply going along with what Pufu said just before he left.
8: As she thought this,
9: I'll have to risk my life...
10: otherwise, his fangs will...
11: Pitou was unable to shake off her ominous feelings.

14)
1: These might even be able to reach the King's throat!!

15)
1: Understood...!!

16)
1: Knuckle.
2(2b): I'm fine here by myself.
3(2b): I know what I said earlier, but I really think that Pufu was telling the truth when he said the real him was heading toward the King.
4: The King's
5: in the south.
6: Gon and Killua had happened to be present at the scene then.
7: It was a natural flow of thoughts, though, for Pitou, not knowing this, to determine that Pufu's scheme had been seen through.

17)
1: This was the moment when her hazy fear truly materialized,
2: and Pitou completely resigned herself to her mission.
3: I must
4: kill him.
5: No matter
6: what...
7: Kill Gon...
8: For the sake of the King...!!

18)
1: Right after I heal Komugi...?
2: No, that won't work. I can't endanger her.
3: ...!! Should I entrust her to someone after I heal her...?
4: Pufu and Yupi both feel constrained with her around...it won't work.
5: If I die,
6: who will take Komugi to the King...?!
7: Gon...
8: I understand what you're trying to say.
9: Moreover, I'm going to do things my own way.
10: Yupi...
11: If Gon ends up feeling doubt or unrest as a result of the information I give him,
12: it could end up bringing about his death.
13: Nah...nevermind.

19)
1: Knuckle just barely
2: See ya.
3: stopped himself.
4: Uuuu
5: Eeehh
6: This isn't the time to be crying!!
7: I need to find Palm!

20)
1: The garage side doors are open!!
2: And the doors to the tunnel to the warehouse area!!
3: Why?!
4: Don't move.
5: If you do, I'll attack.
6: I have a ton of things I want to ask you.
7: But if you try anything funny, I'll kill you!!
8: Wolfin...it's obvious...what he wants to ask me!!
9: How many allies I have...what are their roles, their abilities?! ...he'll try anything to get info out of me.
10: There are people who could die
11: if I talk!!

21)
1: Even if he's Manipulation,
2: that will not affect my determination in any way!!
3: Wha...!? Stop!!
4: I'm really going to kill you!!
5: Go on, kill me!! That's what I want!!
6: If it means I won't have to sell out my allies!
7: We'll kill each other!!
