The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

[Yes] [Skip] [Watch 30-second ad]

Nice choice.

You can fool one person, and you can fool a group of people.

Kuroro is a capable person. He took over the meeting by inserting a new target, guiding everyone to recommend or nominate themselves, and pushing out all those present who had Nen beast abilities to test how to use their abilities.

Finding a spirit exorcist was a natural next step.

The meeting lasted for nearly an hour. After it ended, Kuroro arranged to meet the exorcist at a coffee shop in Masadora at 1 p.m. the next day with someone he had arranged, and planned to switch bodies back with Kusuo Saiki.

"why?"

Kuroro turned around, and a glass of red wine was handed to him. A man with painted nails reached out from another direction, and he was standing behind Kuroro, about to put his arm around Kuroro's shoulder.

Kuroro's face darkened, and with a turn of his foot, he left Hisoka's embrace.

"Oh dear, what a pity~ Don't be afraid, I'm here to discuss cooperation." Hisoka put his hands on his hips, and swirled a glass of red wine in his other hand. The red wine in the glass looked like it was about to drip blood, and it exuded a dangerous aura under the moonlight.

"Gan Shu, cooperate with me~ Don't limit yourself to Nian Beasts."

Kuroro hesitated for three seconds, then thought of a solution: trick Hisoka into using the companion, and then watch him fly away alone.

Although revealing my non-player identity seems like a good thing, it's also good that it can make Hisoka disappear from my sight immediately.

"You two, please count me in too." Bisky appeared quietly, startling Kuroro once again.

Kuroro: Strange, why is my perception so weak?

Kusuo Saiki: Because you don't have a superpower called telepathy to cooperate with.

Selective deafness. Kusuo Saiki's brain is generally filled with telepathic noise, so his body habitually ignores those subtle, hidden footsteps. He can hear his thoughts directly, so he doesn't need to use his more acute sensory abilities.

Both advanced Nen users approached in secret.

Kuroro initially wanted to refuse outright, but remembering Saiki Kusuo's instructions to get to know Bisky, he looked around and said, "Alright, you two. I don't think it's convenient to discuss things in detail here, given the time and location. Let's meet tomorrow afternoon at six o'clock in front of the Andonibal Plaza sign."

Qi Mu Nan Cat: Why are the venues at different locations? Does this mean I have to make a round trip tomorrow?

They agreed on a time. Perhaps because of the communication and magnetic attraction within the game, the players weren't worried about not being able to find each other after meeting. The two of them decisively left their respective spots.

Kusuo Saiki quickly swapped bodies with Kuroro, ran back to the hotel in three minutes, and then stuffed Kuroro's soul back into his own body.

"Phew!" Kuroro let out a long breath. "Much better. It's so much more comfortable with my own body."

Of course, the body you've lived with since birth is the most suitable for a soul.

Kusuo Saiki tested his body; his soul left his body and then returned. He wondered if his superpowers would become unstable again.

Huh? There's a letter on the table.

"Um..." Kuroro said from the bed, "Can you set me free now, Saiki?"

It turned out he was still tied up.

Kusuo Saiki didn't even look at the letter before untying it and reading it.

—Xiao Nan, although you're an adult now, and in principle we can't control you, given that the prey you've set your sights on is a dangerous person, as the eldest brother, it's my responsibility to pay attention to my younger brother's mental and physical well-being. I don't mean to stop you, but please come to Masadora to find me sometime in the future. My other brothers and I will be there waiting for you.

Why does this look a bit strange? What happened? What prey? Does it mean I mistook money for prey?

The letter was probably written by Illumi, but its meaning is incomprehensible.

Kusuo Saiki put down the letter; it was rare for a superpowered person to feel lost.

After knowing him for eighteen years, I still don't understand Illumi. Chrollo, who is the same age as me, can you understand that?

Kusuo Saiki turned around.

But he found that the bed board had collapsed. Kuroro was kneeling on the ground, holding onto the edge of the bed, and was pulling off the twisted fasteners that were holding him up.

"Ahem, are you venting your frustrations about what's troubling you? But the mission will be over soon, and I'll transfer all the money in your account to you."

"No difference?" Kuroro looked around at the rest of the bed. The frame was intact, and he felt like he was the only one who was injured.

Kusuo Saiki slammed his hand on the table, and the table floated in the air as if nothing had happened. So why did it collapse the bed when he used it on Chrollo?

He reached out and used an extra restoration technique to restore the table and the chairs on the ground that had been blown to pieces.

The tables and chairs look brand new, as if they were just made by a craftsman.

So the only reason can be that Kuroro was really unlucky today, right?

12 month 31 day.

Early in the morning, Kusuo Saiki found members of the Phantom Troupe in the city of love, Peeling Off the Rift.

I don't know why Peeling Ripper is in Love City.

But they seem to be living very well here, and many of the NPCs you encounter don't seem to care about your appearance.

Kusuo Saiki used this opportunity to inform the Phantom Troupe about the deal with the exorcist at 1 PM that afternoon, and the formal negotiations for the deal were then conducted by…

The Miki Zoldycke is underway.

Masadora, a round table outside a restaurant.

The Phantom Troupe assembles, the Zoldyck assembles.

Kuroro? Of course, he's left at the hotel to await news.

Milluki had seen it all. The 12-year-old patted his clothes and made an outrageous demand: "I want to charge 5% of the transaction price as a hire fee."

"Whatever, as long as the deal is done."

Few in the tour group sat properly. Finks stood with his feet on a chair and led the conversation, while the others either leaned against pillars or squatted on the ground poking at weeds and joking around.

This was the first time Mi Ji had seen someone so casual. He turned to look at his elder brothers:

Kusuo Saiki comforts the child.

“Michiki, we don’t need to offer discounts to customers like the Phantom Troupe who don’t value money,” Illumi said.

Illumi, how could you say that in front of the Phantom Troupe?

“But the price is already set, so that’s fine.” Illumi crossed one arm over his chest and held up a finger with the other. “However, Milluki is talking about in-game currency. Can the Phantom Troupe pay for that?”

"In-game? What would you need so much money for in a game?" Phinks raised an eyebrow. "It's much more troublesome to steal money in the game."

“Kids need to play games; they won’t have a good time if they don’t have much money. Right, Milluki?”

"Ah! Right! I want the money from the game!" Milluki perked up, feeling that with this income, he could quickly buy a villa in Martha's Las Vegas!

Housing prices are cheap in the game, since no one speculates on real estate here, but making money in the game is hard! It would be great to have a guild to help!

"Whatever, Phinks. We've already looted a lot of junk cards, selling them should be enough," Feitan said. "The Zoldycks' reputation is trusted by the leader, so as long as they can solve the problem, that's fine."

Milluki nodded quickly, "Then, we've made a deal!"

Miji raised his hand, and a scale appeared, displaying the terms of the transaction to both parties and receiving their responses.

“After making a deal with the exorcist, tell him that we still have four more people who need exorcisms,” Finks said.

"Are you sure you want to ask after the transaction is complete?" Milluki asked.

“I’m sure. If I were an exorcist, I would be wary of this kind of continuous transactions. It’s hard for the other party to feel at ease knowing that we’re part of a guild. At the very least, I’ll make sure the guild leader is exorcised first.”

There are other considerations as well.

Chapter 124 New Year?

But none of this will be relevant to Zoldyck; Kusuo Saiki's mission will continue until Chrollo completely eliminates Nen.

To avoid their identities being discovered, the group left as a group.

There won't be many people involved in the transaction, and Milluki and Illumi will play the roles of the young master and the butler to negotiate.

It was nearly 11 o'clock, two hours before the transaction was scheduled to begin. Illumi made a gesture towards Kusuo Hiki, a gesture with his thumb, index finger, and middle finger spread out.

Without telepathy, how could anyone know that's what you meant?

The conversation took place in a restaurant, where the family had booked two private rooms.

Kusuo Saiki followed Illumi into the house. As soon as the door closed, Illumi got straight to the point: "Kusuo, which do you think is more reliable, friends or family?"

A very simple answer.

Illumi was very satisfied.

"So, what if one day you received a mission to kill your friend?"

Illumi: ...

"That's true." Illumi pondered, resting his hand on his arm.

"So, what if I get a mission to kill your friend?"

"Let's take Kuroro as an example."

"Oh, really?"

Of course, Kusuo Saiki had already heard his thoughts.

How could he possibly consider Kuroro a friend? If they were friends, at least Kusuo Saiki would advise him to quit his life of crime.

Kusuo Saiki's decisiveness left Illumi with nowhere to vent his pent-up lecture.

He narrowed his eyes, thinking he should give more examples.

He was too strong; his younger brother dared not and would not resist. He wanted to test just how important Kuroro was to his younger brother.

Would you help if he got injured?

How do you determine if something is relevant?

"For example, if you did something to him that made him unable to move around, and he was unable to complete the things he needed to do, would you work for free to help him complete them?"

Kusuo Saiki recalled his ability going out of control during the Hunter Exam; the only reason he could cause inconvenience to others was that accident.

He was too rude to others. He doesn't like owing favors or causing trouble, so he will do something to make up for it.

So the answer is:

Illumi thought to himself, "Just as I thought," and then became even more serious: "I understand."

Kusuo Saiki: No, you don't understand.
