Keep on living just the way you are
Kukuroo Mountain...
It's in the Republic of Padokea.
You're in luck. The country is open to all foreign visitors.
You should be able to get there in three days by airship.
When do you plan to leave?
As soon as possible.
I'll stick with you all the way to the ends of the earth, Gon!
That flight was so relaxing!
Well, this time we were in first class,
not like when we flew during the Exam.
So what're we gonna do now?
We'll take a train to Dendora from here.
Let's try to find our way to Kukuroo Mountain from there.
Okay.
So this is what a first class cabin looks like.
Wow!
It's so soft!
Ah, what the...
What's the matter, Gon?
This thing is too soft! It's hard to move!
That's a good thing.
You're injured, so you should just stay there.
No way!
But I was hoping we could go and explore the train together!
Are you kidding? Never again with you!
You always try to poke your nose where it doesn't belong.
I'll pass!
So what am I supposed to do?
Ask Kurapika, if you really wanna go.
Well, Kurapika?
Huh?
Oh, what were you saying, Gon?
Never mind.
You can't even feel the train shaking in first class.
Yeah. But how did we get one?
I know there're only two first class cabins on this train.
It's because we have these.
Our license cards?
That's right.
The Hunter Association receives priority seating
on all major forms of transportation.
That's why it was so easy for us to get these seats.
This was covered during the orientation, remember?
Really?
You were busy thinking about how to find Killua.
No wonder you didn't learn much.
Well, whatever.
I'm just glad we get to ride in first class.
I can never get much sleep when I travel in coach.
There's a way, you know.
Huh?
There's a way to sleep in coach.
Yeah? What is it?!
It's actually very simple...
Pretend these are the seats in coach.
You can't sleep in coach because of the armrests, right?
Right.
So the question is, how do you get comfortable?
In a case like this, you just have to...
I'm a Hunter.
So why am I being taught how to travel in coach?
Hey, Leorio, are you listening?
Yeah, I'm listening.
There it is.
Killua lives on that mountain?
Yeah. Kukuroo Mountain is where the Zoldyck Family estate is located.
Now that I've seen it with my own eyes...
It gives me the creeps.
We'll have to be very careful about how we do this.
I say we check into a hotel and come up with a plan.
Yeah. And maybe ask some questions around the village.
We don't need to do that.
We're just here to visit a friend of ours.
Who knows, maybe he'll even let us stay overnight at his house!
Are you really that clueless?
This is a brand new tie!
Come back here! Gon!
I guess we don't have to worry about it too much.
Kukuroo Mountain?
Ah, you wanna see the Zoldycks.
There's a tour bus that leaves from the village once a day.
A guide will even go along with you!
A tour bus?
They really have that?
We didn't come here to sightsee...
We have some business with the family.
There seems to be a lot of tourists who have "business" with the Zoldycks.
Well, anyway. Your best bet is to take the bus.
Thanks a lot, ma'am!
You're welcome.
How's everybody doing?
Thank you for choosing Lamentation Tours.
I'll be your guide for the duration of the trip.
My name is Coco Loo. Please call me Coco!
Hi, Coco!
I'm glad to be at your service!
Looking forward to your service!
Tell me, Coco...
Uh, yes?!
How long's it gonna take us to get to Kukuroo Mountain?
We'll be there in about two hours.
Did you hear that?
What should we do, make them step on it?
The mountain's not going anywhere so let's just sit back and relax.
You can keep going, Coco.
Right! Now, I just have a few announcements.
Those guys don't look like tourists to me.
My guess is that they're bounty hunters who've come to try to...
...bring in members of the Zoldyck Family for the reward money.
The woman from the village probably...
...thought we were planning the same thing.
Also, please refrain from standing or sitting backwards
while the bus is in motion.
All right, everyone,
if you'll look out the windows to your left...
Wow!
This is Kukuroo Mountain,
home to the infamous Zoldyck Family.
It's actually an extinct volcano surrounded by a beautiful, old growth forest.
It rises to an elevation of 3772 meters. Legend has it that
the Zoldyck family mansion is located on the summit...
but no one has ever seen it.
The Zoldyck Family consists of the great grandfather,
one set of grandparents, the parents, and five children.
And they're all assassins!
We'll be moving just a bit closer to the mountain.
Well, this is... some gate, all right.
Um, this is the main gate to the Zoldyck Estate.
No one who has gone through those doors has lived to tell about it.
That's why it's known as The Door to Hades.
What the hell is Hades?
It's the underworld.
I see...
Excuse me... Uh, Miss?
Please, you can call me Coco!
Do you know how we can get inside there?
Everything beyond that gate is Zoldyck Family property.
So this is as far as we go.
What?!
I had a feeling it wasn't going to be that easy.
But we're not anywhere near the mountain yet!
Are you telling me... we gotta go all...
That's right.
They own the entire forest as well as Kukuroo Mountain itself!
No way!
So the land from way out there, all the way here is their yard?!
Um, excuse me Miss?
Uh, Miss?
Coco?
Yes, what is it?
How do I get through the gate?
Weren't you listening to what I just said, young man?
Yeah, but I...
You'll never make it out alive once you get in.
This is the home to assassins, remember.
Yeah, but I...
I'm not buyin' it!
The legendary family of assassins that nobody has ever seen.
Just the photos of them are said to be worth hundreds of millions!
For real?
Their notoriety is based on nothing but rumors.
I bet in reality they're not all that tough.
Wait!
What are you planning to do?
That's dynamite!
You're gonna blow up the gate?!
Please, stop!
Don't do it!
How reckless.
That didn't even make a dent!
Damn, that gate's a lot stronger than I thought!
No kidding.
Well, that was rather rough.
Things like that won't open the gate, you know.
The gatekeeper. How convenient.
Open the gate.
I'll be in trouble if I did that. My master would be mad at me.
Don't worry. We'll take care of your master.
But, this gate!
Just shut up and open it!
Open it right now!
Oh, those must be the keys.
Ow...
Mister!
You all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Listen you two, I wouldn't do that if I were you!
Don't say I didn't warn you!
Let's start the hunt for the Zoldycks!
Don't drag me down!
Right back at you!
Oh, my.
Now they're gonna spoil Mike's appetite.
I'd better get ready.
Mike?
Is that a cat or something?
Don't know...
My master gave me strict orders not to let Mike snack between meals.
Hey, Mike! You wanna get fat?!
What a mess...
What was that thing?
You've just witnessed what happens to those who step inside...
Never mind that! Just get us out of here!
Jeez.
The bus is about to leave.
Oh, you go ahead.
We're gonna stay here.
Uh... sure, okay.
All right, let's go!
Friends, huh?
It's been a very long time since I last heard that word.
My name's Zebro, and I've been working here for twenty years,
but you guys are the first to come here as friends.
And it warms my heart... it really does.
As an employee of the family, I probably shouldn't be saying this...
But this is a very desolate place.
No one ever comes here to visit them.
Well, except for guys like that, of course, which we get plenty of.
For a notorious family of assassins, I guess that's to be expected.
It's a cursed profession, don't you think?
Well, it was very nice of you to come all this way for a visit.
Thanks a lot.
It's no problem.
Hey, it's our pleasure.
I'm sorry...
but there's still no way I can allow you to pass through those gates.
You saw that big, grisly paw earlier, right?
Well, that belongs to Mike, the Zoldyck Family guard dog.
It's not a friendly dog and it only takes orders from family members.
It's still acting on orders given by its master over ten years ago.
"Kill the intruders."
But he's not really supposed to eat them.
So I can't let you in, as long as Mike's on the job.
Especially if you're Master Killua's friends...
I can't let you get killed.
But why doesn't Mike attack you?
You have keys to the gate, which means you go inside.
Then why doesn't Mike attack you?
Isn't it obvious? He works here as a gatekeeper.
But he just said that Mike isn't a friendly dog,
and that he doesn't take orders from anyone other than family members.
Which means he has no control over him.
You also said that the orders are for him to kill the intruders.
I may be wrong, but under that order
even the employees wouldn't be safe on the other side.
You make a good point.
But you've only guessed half of it.
When I go through the gate I don't use a key.
Those keys are meant for intruders.
Like those bounty hunters today.
Most of them come to the front gate in broad daylight.
And they try to force their way in by trying to break down the gate.
It's rather inconvenient for us, you know.
So I went to the trouble of having a side door installed, which has a lock...
Because...
When they realize they can't break through the main gate,
they come after me and steal the keys.
And of course, once they get inside, Mike chews them up.
It's pretty clever, don't you think?
I get it.
You're not really...
...a gatekeeper...
...are you?
You're right, I'm not actually a gatekeeper.
I'm just the guy who cleans up after Mike.
And the reason you don't need a key and Mike doesn't attack
when you walk through the main gate is because...
it's not even locked, is it?
You got it.
What?!
These doors won't budge, no matter what I do!
That's because you're not pushing hard enough.
You crazy? I'm giving it everything I've got!
Now, now...
This gate is also know as "The Testing Gate."
If you can't even open it,
then you have no business entering the Zoldyck property.
Just watch.
As you just saw, the gate slams shut as soon as you release it,
so you have to move quickly.
Every year it gets a little harder for me to do that.
I'm desperate to keep up because once I'm unable I'm fired.
You're very keen.
"Do not attack anyone who enters the property through The Testing Gate..."
That's the other order Mike's been given.
By the way, the doors of that first gate weigh about two tons each.
Two tons?! That's...
Did I hear you say first gate?
Yeah. See for yourself.
There are seven gates in all.
And with each additional gate, the weight is doubled.
Doubled?!
What gate number you open depends on how strong you can push.
By the way, when young Master Killua came home,
he was able to open up the third gate.
The third gate... That's...
Twelve tons!
Actually, it's sixteen, Gon...
Now you understand.
Just trying to get in takes this much effort.
They live in a completely different world.
I guess there's nothing we can do.
Of course there is!
We can just call Killua and ask him to open it from the inside!
Could you call Killua for us and tell him...
that Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio are here to see him?
Well, I...
I can't do that.
Why not?!
All you have to do is call him.
Once he knows we're here, I know he'll open the gate!
You still can't do it?
Well... the thing is, we have all sorts of rules and regulations here...
I won't move from this spot until you call him!
Well... My, that puts me in a bind.
Hey, you two! Wha...
This isn't good.
All sorts of wild animals come out around here after the sun goes down.
Gon!
It's okay, I'm fine.
Gon!
There's nothing to be mad about.
You're not even hungry, are you?
You were just feeling a little annoyed, weren't you?
Just a little...
...annoyed?
I see...
Good doggy!
I give up.
With or without my help,
I'm sure you'll come up with a way to get in sooner or later.
And then you'll just be Mike's food.
And Mike and I would really regret it if Master Killua's friends were eaten.
Well, let's see what I can do.
Really?!
Wearing the weights of 100kg feels like carrying a stone statue.
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Training x Hound x Exhausted!
Everyone needs a dream!
