Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

Captain Red Nose, with his wine-stained skin, took a sip of water and then let out a refreshing and invigorating sound.

He looked exactly like someone who had had a great time drinking.

The sailor responsible for fetching water nearby: "???"

"I remember I was definitely filling a bucket with water~~~"

He touched his head, looking at the scene with some astonishment.

But why is their captain acting like he's been drinking?!

"After that little boy boarded the ship, I learned that his name was Kim Freecss..."

Captain Red Nose, the wine-dreg captain, seemed to be enjoying his current state.

He ate peanuts and drank water in large gulps, feeling extremely comfortable and at ease.

The peanuts brought by this young man named Mog are absolutely delicious.

It's even more indescribably magical!

Yes, it's certainly amazing, because it's meant to be a "magical snack to accompany drinks."

Invention: [Amazing Snacks to Pair with Drinks]

Source: Doraemon World - Future Technology Company.

Effect: This is a small, gourd-shaped dish resembling peanuts. After eating it, drinking ordinary water will taste like wine. The prop's origin comes from the filial piety legend of the Xiao Ri Zi Yang Lao Waterfall.

That is a famous waterfall located in Gifu Prefecture, a small town, where a legend about a filial son caring for his elderly parents is told.

Legend has it that a filial son wanted to give his sick father, who longed for alcohol, some wine, but he had no money to buy any. While searching in the mountains, he smelled the aroma of wine.

They discovered that the waterfall's water had turned into wine, which allowed the father to drink it and cured his illness.

In other words, this is a magical snack that can turn water into alcohol.

This was the first time Captain Red Nose, a man from the wine-making crew, had ever tasted such snacks or drunk such water.

There they were, drinking heartily and enjoying themselves immensely.

Well, anyway, he was just drinking water that the sailors had given him, so he didn't violate any of the Hunter Association's rules!

In a state of heightened emotion, Captain Red Nose, also shared what he knew and understood.

Mog revealed all of Kim Freecss's past experiences.

"You wouldn't believe it, when Kim Freecss was little..."

"Well, I don't know if it's true or not, but that's what everyone on Whale Island is saying..."

"I heard about Kim Freecss from some residents of Whale Island..."

"Hey, I've finished my water!! Aren't you going to get me some more?! Can't you see my throat's about to burst?!"

He was there, grumbling and banging on the table in dissatisfaction.

Captain Red Nose of the Wine Barrel was truly open and honest, sharing everything he knew without reservation.

With the snacks that Mog brought out to accompany her drinks, she really told Mog everything.

The sailors, listening to and watching their captain's behavior, looked at each other in bewilderment.

That posture...it's obvious, like he's drunk!

But the sailors who went up to get the water cups sniffed them.

I found that neither the glass nor the water I poured had any alcoholic smell.

On the contrary, it was their captain~~~

"belch."

Captain Red Nose, a wine-drunk captain, let out a burp.

The strong smell made the sailor stumble.

No way, does that mean you can get drunk just by drinking water?!

The sailor was completely baffled, but he could only obediently follow the captain's orders and fetch water for him again.

Moreover, they were afraid that the captain wouldn't drink enough.

They also specially carried a whole bucket of drinking water and placed it next to the two of them.

Captain Red Nose, of course, drank heartily without saying a word.

Mog also kept all the details about King Freecss in mind.

And so, the sea voyage came to an end in such pleasant conversation between the two of them.

Chapter 115 The Young, Fierce Fox Family! The Veteran Quick-Take-Off Grandma! The Brainless and the Unhappy

The port of Nadorei was already in sight.

Captain Red Nose, who had drunk too much, went straight back to his cabin to sleep.

When the ship arrived at the port, it was the first mate who helped Mog off the ship.

"Our captain said you're welcome to visit him again next time."

The first mate's expression was somewhat complicated.

"Although I believe this invitation from the captain is sincere, I don't think it's a very good wish."

Hmm, I'll come back to see him again, this Hunter Association inspector, and board the Poseidon again next time~~~

Doesn't this mean that Mog's hunter test this time didn't go so well in terms of progress and results?

The first mate also thought that this might be his captain talking nonsense after getting drunk.

But he couldn't say things like, "I got drunk from drinking water."

"But thanks to you, our trip was much quieter."

The first mate sighed, "If it weren't for you stepping in, I don't know how this investigation would have turned out."

Previously, when I was on the Poseidon.

Captain Rednose of the Wine Casserole kept talking to Mogg about the past of King Freecss.

This caused him to almost forget about the preliminary screening of the candidates on board who were supposed to be taking the test.

Moreover, the captain with the red nose was so drunk that he couldn't possibly conduct the review.

So Mog helped him out a little bit.

"It's not a big deal."

Mog waved his hand, "I just helped out with a small favor."

During its journey, the Poseidon was bound to encounter some rough seas.

Those candidates who couldn't even withstand this little bit of trouble were naturally eliminated.

However, those clueless individuals don't realize that this is the reason they were eliminated.

They even thought that seasickness was just a normal phenomenon.

Upon learning of their elimination, they immediately began to protest and argue their dissatisfaction.

They even wanted to storm the captain's cabin.

However, the captain was drunk.

Moreover, the number of candidates who were eliminated was so large that it filled an entire ship.

Even if the first mate and the sailors on the ship tried to stop them, they were outnumbered and outmatched.

Then~~~

Under these circumstances, Mog simply made a move.

That shut those guys up.

After all, he was the one who got the captain drunk, which delayed his work.

So it's only right that I step in to help him clean up the mess and bring it to a proper conclusion.

And I also got a lot of information about Kim Freecss from him~~~

"So we just head towards that giant redwood tree at the very top of Port Dore Island, right?"

Mogg waved goodbye to the first mate and the sailors, watching the Poseidon depart.

He turned his head and focused his gaze on the largest redwood tree.

If nothing unexpected happens, there should still be a family of fierce foxes there.

Mog walked to the large map bulletin board and checked the travel routes there.

Then~~~

"Is this the road we take to go up the mountain?"

Just as Mog had finished planning the route and was about to set off, a voice suddenly rang out beside him.

It came from a child's soft, childish voice. Mog looked down.

Then I saw a pretty little girl standing next to me.

With a lollipop dangling from his mouth, he was also looking at the route leading up the mountain.

The only main route to the mountain is the one leading to the red cedar trees.

"Big brother, are you going to that place too?"

As if noticing Mog's gaze, the little girl blinked her innocent eyes and looked over.

"I want to go there to play, can you take me with you?"

She took the lollipop out of her mouth and pointed towards the red cedar tree on the mountain.

"Didn't your parents tell you to avoid talking to strangers when you're out and about?"

Mog crouched down and looked at the little girl.

"They told me~~~"
