Time Remaining ((のこ)()()()()()()()()()()(かん)()()()()()()()(), Nokori Jikan) is the 205th chapter of the Hunter × Hunter manga, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi.

Synopsis[]

Injured and limping along with sticks to support them, Gon and Killua drag themselves back toward the hotel. Killua says that they have no chance against Knuckle, and Gon adds that he isn't even using half his strength, but tells Killua that they have to keep trying. As the two boys slowly make their way back, Shoot is seen watching them from behind a tree, saying that it's his opportunity to strike since no one else is around. But as Gon and Killua pass by him, he begins to shake and sweat profusely. He tells himself that he has to seize his chance, but he still doesn't move as his expression becomes despondent and tears run down his face. It's stated that his full name is Shoot McMahon, 28 years old, with AB blood type. He is an Unidentified Beast Hunter, and a coward.

Chap 205 - Palm threatening Biscuit

Palm threatening Biscuit

Back at the hotel, Gon asks Killua why Knuckle can't go to NGL, saying that he's really tough and likening his physical strength to that of Kite. Killua thinks that maybe it has something to do with his personality, saying that his generous nature doesn't mesh with the extermination plan and citing how close he gets with animals. As the two boys talk while maintaining their Ren, Biscuit looks on and is happy to see that they can maintain it for two hours without concentrating. She considers letting them fight once they can maintain it for three hours and when the two of them are well-rested. She believes that Knuckle will be forced to use his full strength, hoping that Gon and Killua can figure out what they lack in combat. However, she says that they would only be halfway there, worrying about the deadline approaching and saying that it would take ten more days to even get to that point. As she continues to worry, she glances over at Palm, who is chopping food with a knife. Her eyes suddenly widen, and she touches the knife's edge, turning toward Biscuit with a dreadful glare. Biscuit realizes that she should come up with an escape plan for herself if things go south.

Palm finishes preparing dinner, and the others thank her for the meal. As Gon scarfs down his food, Palm asks him how it is, and Gon says that it's really good as he continues to chew. Palm replies that she wasn't talking about the food, reminding him that they have ten days left. She guesses that Gon is two-thirds of the way to improving his basics so that Knuckle will use his full strength. Biscuit and Killua look on with fear and suspicion, and Gon turns to Biscuit to ask her if it's true, but she just quietly sips her drink. Gon assures Palm that they will still win before the deadline. Palm, however, is convinced that Gon won't be able to defeat Knuckle in time, revealing that staring at her knife calms her down and telling Gon that if he runs away now, she probably won't kill him.

Killua and Biscuit think that their meals would be great if it weren't for Palm's creepy remarks, but Gon assures her that he won't run away, promising to pinkie swear. Palm is confused at first, but Gon quickly links their pinkies together and swears to defeat Knuckle and Shoot before the deadline, uttering the usual rhyme. Gon adds that the next step is what they (he, Mito, and Noko) do on Whale Island, saying that a kiss between their pinkies seals the promise. As Gon asks Palm about the meal she prepared, Killua and Biscuit continue eating. Killua is happy to see that Gon is getting better at handling Palm, but Biscuit reminds him that they have ten days left, with Killua telling her not to say it like their days are numbered.

Chap 205 - Netero disposing of Chimera Ants

Netero disposing of Chimera Ants

Meanwhile, back in NGL, the Chimera Ants have difficulty contacting one another due to Morel's smoke surrounding them. Baital tries to contact Goran telepathically, but gets no response, worried that the enemy already got him. Their communications become more and more confused, and Baital has no clue what's going on in the dense smoke. Two Ants suddenly disappear, and Knov sits reading a book in a cave up above, and Morel asks him if their strategy is really fair, saying that all they have to do is send them to Netero who does the dirty work. Knov says that the plan is flawless, adding that although Netero was trying to be humble earlier, he is not only much stronger than them, but ready to fight. Netero contacts them by phone, and at an undisclosed location, he is shown surrounded by Chimera Ant corpses, asking the two to send down more and adding that he's getting in the groove again.

In the Chimera Ant Nest, Peggy tells Colt that Baital and Gaftz's squads haven't returned, and Colt says that they have just 14 left. In the hotel, Biscuit watches Gon and Killua maintaining their Ren and says that they have seven days left. Back in the nest, surrounded by skulls, the gravid Queen feels her son moving and asks him if he wants to come out.
