━━ Illumi'S POV ━━

- Removing his lenses -

I threw the seven testing gates open and made my way to the manor, the mission had gone well. Not only had I completed it with ease, but I also gathered new information on Y/N's nen abilities, which proved to be apt enough. What a promising pawn...

The manor came to sight, and I spotted mother awaiting my arrival by the front door, what could she complain about this time? Last week the whining about Killua's escape had finally died down, there was not much out of place at the moment.

She watched me step closer, knowing her shrieks were most impactful when in close range, her red lips opened but no sound scratched my ears. Mother's mouth remained agape as her visor glitched uncontrollably. Now, that was unusual, my right eyebrow rose, and my eyes squinted. They were feeling dry, itchy now...

"My, Illumi, you-" Mother cleared her throat, "yes, you look lovely with blue eyes."

"Ah." No wonder they were itchy, that solves some questions. "Y/N..." Was dragged away by a phantom troupe member before removing them? "didn't have time to remove the lenses..."

"Right! Where is Y/N?" Her pitch flew higher, and I could feel it now, the scratching in my ears. "I have ordered a special dinner because of her presence! So? Why isn't Y/N with you?"

"Left to continue training nen, I can only assume. It was a rather rushed farewell." Two seconds of silence followed by a soft hum told me it was an appropriate response and I wandered inside the manor calling for Gotoh.

I reached my bedroom door just as he appeared, "Master Illumi, how can I be of help?"

"Remove my contact lenses." He paused, eyebrows furrowing just a smidge.

"Master Illumi, I believe that Hishita was unsuccessful putting them on, perhaps removing them will lead us to the same result."

"Hmm..." Hishita was in the infirmary after his attempt to put the lenses on my eyes before the mission, I failed to understand the intricacies of it when I tried it. "Call Hassam and someone else while I try to remove them myself."

"Yes, Master." Gotoh left quietly after bowing. The door creaked close, and I moved to the bathroom, eyeing myself in the mirror. I didn't agree with Mother, I did not particularly look lovely in blue eyes.

My left index finger pulled my lid up as I pinched the lens, it returned to its place. What an inconvenience this was. Once again, the lens slipped back and remained covering my iris, my nails were too close to my eyes for my liking. An injury while removing contact lenses would be too shameful, but the lens did not come out no matter how many times I tried... What was I doing wrong? Certainly, there was a right way to remove these things.
