The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

"Ah! No... Waaah..."

Parents with two children usually refer to themselves as "Dad" and "Mom".

But it's strange, why is Mom crying, and Dad bullying... No, that's completely impossible.

Kuniharu Saiki, an ordinary brown-haired father with glasses. Kurumi Saiki, a kind and angelic mother. Although it's a bit unusual to introduce them like new characters near the end of the story, these two are actually Kusuo Saiki's original parents, and we should thank them for the genes that gave birth to his superpowers.

The two loved each other very much, and the father would never bully the mother even if there were a million chances.

Kusuo Saiki had already heard the thoughts of the two people inside the house, but he didn't expect that the two people were outside.

Just as Dad was about to walk around from the backyard to the front door, Kusuo Saiki put the door back in place and went over first.

"It's here, it's here! Who... Waaaaa!!!" Qi Mu Guochun fell to the ground as if he had seen a ghost.

Kusuo Saiki was confused. His father and mother hadn't changed much, so he probably hadn't been away for too long.

Chapter 142 Family

"You, you could be, you are, oh, me, you, how come... oh dear...!"

Kusuo Saiki heard his father's conflicted thoughts, which were a jumbled mess of emotions. If you had to pick out a few keywords, they would be: death, demon, resurrection, real or fake, and there was no superpower suppressor on his head!

Kusuo Saiki sighed, just about to begin explaining.

"Mom! Nanxiong is back to life! Nanxiong, our Nanxiong is back to life!" Qi Mu Guochun scrambled back to the backyard.

Why did you confirm my identity as soon as you heard "ya-le ya-le"? You haven't even started explaining yet!

30 minute later.

The parents finally calmed down, and the three of them sat in the old room. The room was clean, but it had an unsettling, long-abandoned feel to it.

"Waaah... Xiaonan, why did it take you 6 years to come back? Can't Xiaonan's superpowers come back right away?"

Well, a lot has happened... wait, what? Six years?

The father chuckled from the side, "It's good that you're back, Mom. Maybe Nanxiong was tricked by the coffee jelly..."

Kusuo Saiki didn't even have the energy to complain. Six years—what did that mean? Although he had expected it, his parents were still so…

"Young, right? Surprised? Your mother's physical age now should be even healthier than before you left. It's clear that Nanxiong's existence caused your mother a lot of trouble!" The person speaking had an annoying tone.

Kusuke Saiki, his older brother, also has an IQ that reaches the level of superpowers, but unfortunately he can't compare to real superpowers. He competes with Kusuo Saiki every day and loses every day, which causes some conflict between them. In the past, when Kusuo Saiki listened to his thoughts, he could always hear words of dislike towards him.

How did he get through this? Superpowers? Probably not. Is he living with his parents now? After all, six years have passed, so it's reasonable that he finished his studies long ago.

"Ah! Long time no see, Kusuo. How are you? Why do you look 19? Did your body not grow at all after 6 years? Does a superpowered person's body stay at this age forever? Then why aren't you 18 or 20, but 19? Wait, don't tell me yet, let me guess. You returned and used your superpowers, but you're standing here perfectly fine without a superpower suppressor. There are unfamiliar things on your hands and neck that look like antiques. Kusuo doesn't like wearing accessories unless necessary, which means these two things are likely mysterious artifacts from another world. After all, I already know everything about the mysterious things that suppress superpowers on Earth. Plus, you didn't use your superpowers for 6 years before returning. Could it be that you encountered a body change that caused a delay in using your superpowers? The 18-year-old Kusuo has the superpower to travel through time, but not the superpower to travel between worlds..."

"Nanxiong, you didn't actually transmigrate to another world and become a baby, grow up for 19 years, and only return here after your superpowers have recovered to a similar level, did you? I'm just guessing, I don't know if I'm right."

"Haha! I knew it. But in this new life of 19 years, you won't have a new family, will you?" Saiki Kusuke said as he assembled the thing in his hands, only now recognizing it as the long-unseen telepathic jammer.

So, I'm 36 years old now, which means I'm practically your older brother in terms of experience and age.

Instead of that, how about restoring the world to what it was six years ago? Kusuo Saiki crouched down, genuinely intending to do just that.

“I don’t agree with doing that,” said Kusuke Saiki, adjusting his hair that was covering one eye. “The Earth has finally moved forward by 6 years. For you, it’s a lost 6 years, but for us, it’s a real 6 years. A lot has happened in those 6 years. It’s not comparable to going back year by year to stop a volcanic eruption.”

It doesn't matter how you become the younger brother.

"My parents are able to stay young thanks to their continuous use of anti-aging products and daily exercise over the years. I've already said it before, they are healthier than they were 6 years ago. Now they can recover to their former physical and mental state."

As Saiki Kusuke thought this, he put on his telepathic shield, and from then on, he could no longer hear his thoughts.

"If you wear the telepathic shield, you won't be able to hear my thoughts! Let's have a match, Kusuo, rock-paper-scissors..."

Kusuke Saiki threw a punch.

"Oh no! Another loss, the 4257th consecutive defeat! A number that has changed in 6 years, why?"

Meanwhile, the mother was worried about what Saiki Kusuo had been through all these years and really wanted to know how he was doing.

But she didn't interrupt the brothers' conversation; she simply waited on the sidelines.

Kusuo Saiki sat down, accepting the situation with surprise, and began to explain his experience.

For his family members who know he has superpowers, Kusuo Saiki really has nothing to hide.

[So it is... and so it is...]

"He actually went to the world of Hunter x Hunter! Kusuo! Can't you continue Hunter x Hunter? Use your Nen to write it!" the father, who works at the manga publishing company, shouted.

Hey, even if the copyright hasn't been updated for years, it's still Togashi's.

Show some respect to the teachers who created that great world.

Kusuke Saiki took a sip of coffee to calm himself down before leisurely joining the conversation: "Are you talking about that author who's the strongest at taking breaks, the one who leaves suspense and manipulates countless people? But Yoshihiro Togashi has already resumed publication, just recently. The Phantom Troupe's past arc was quite surprising; many people say it's a whitewash."

Huh? Whitewashing? Don't be ridiculous. How could those people possibly be whitewashed? They're pure black like Illumi, and the three beauties were originally the three major villains.

"Want to see it? There's only a little bit anyway." Kusuke Saiki opened the manga app and handed his phone to Kusuo Saiki.

Kusuo Saiki hesitated for a second before taking it.

Well, I'm a little curious about what Meteor City and the Phantom Troupe really are.

The experience of reading a comic book is completely different from actually being in that world. At least for now, Kusuo Saiki has become completely immersed in it after reading just a few pages.

After all, no one has been able to spoil the plot of Hunter x Hunter for him over the years; on the contrary, if he doesn't watch it soon...

Qi Muguochun thought to himself.

If you don't watch quickly, this guy will spoil the plot. I wonder if readers who haven't watched Hunter x Hunter or have only watched the anime are experiencing some of the troubles of having superpowers right now.

Kusuo Saiki recalled the guy who handed him the drink, and Hisoka, who occasionally got the short end of the stick and showed a bit of "cuteness".

Is this really the Hunter world...?

He could only lower his head and continue reading the comic in his hands. After finishing the Phantom Troupe flashback arc, he went to the end of the Chimera Ant arc and read on from the last part of the plot that he knew.

First of all, his time travel did not change the plot; it was a parallel world, which is the best news.

Secondly, he was extremely glad that he had made the decision to favor Alluka.

In the story, after the Chimera Ant arc, Gon is seriously injured, and Killua takes Nanika from his home to treat him. Silva lets it go, but Illumi disapproves of this action and gives chase. The butlers, each with their own masters, engage in a chase between the Zoldyck family members, each acting according to their master's position.

This is what Illumi meant by "freedom"... This is too much freedom! They actually let Hisoka kill Gotoku! That's the butler who watched Killua grow up?

Illumi didn't use any other butlers to help, but instead used Needleman and Hisoka! Saiki Kusuo is beyond exasperated by their relationship.

In the world where he lived, Netero was still alive during the chairman election, so this wouldn't have happened. Hopefully, Gon and his father won't be able to see each other again.

On a later page, a large, upward-looking image of the Heaven's Arena suddenly appears, and the next page shows Chrollo Lucilfer fighting Hisoka.

It was here that Kuroro gained the ability to bookmark. The two were locked in a life-or-death battle. Kuroro spent seven or eight pages explaining his abilities, with each page featuring a different face, and each face was completely different from the highly deceptive, youthful face he remembered.

Although Kusuo Saiki saw mostly bones.

Hisoka was blown up by Chrollo. Kusuo Saiki stared at the corpse for a long time. Because of his father's spoilers, he knew that this person would probably come back to life and kill again.

What kind of unconventional male ghost?

Turning a few more pages, Kuroro is on the phone, saying he wants to steal something.

The next page shows Hisoka carrying Korps's head out of the toilet, and then killing Shalnark.

Kusuo Saiki: ...

That was such a hasty death! Hey! You were just on the phone with the swordsman on the previous page! And then you were gone the instant you hung up?!

Even if someone were to do it, they would be surprised. How could Hisoka attack someone who has no power? Doesn't he prefer more meaningful duels?

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Hisoka intended to wipe out the entire Phantom Troupe.

Did he turn evil after dying once?

Kusuo Saiki is a voracious reader of books and comics, yet this time he reads them unusually slowly.

Because he knows these people, the images in his memory allow him to imagine what they were thinking at the time. He wants to know why many people did those things, and he connects them with his memories. He is surprised to see that Illumi and Hisoka really made an engagement vow.

Of course, he also saw the expressions on the faces of the Phantom Troupe members after they discovered that Chrollo and Kubi were dead.

Just a few days ago, he saw them talking about accepting the death of their companion and laughed at it.

It's definitely unacceptable.

With the flashback arc, Kusuo Saiki learns that the original Phantom Troupe members didn't gather together as adults as they appeared in the earlier manga. They had known each other since childhood in Meteor City.

The Phantom Troupe's formation didn't initially seem to stem from Chrollo and others being born with rebellious spirits, pursuing criminal thrills, or embracing the eternal spirit of thieves.

Instead of being oppressed, he becomes the biggest villain, intimidating everyone in the world?

The feeling of tearing up umbrellas from every other part of the world because you've been caught in the rain.

Even Kusuo Saiki was momentarily caught in a dilemma about good and evil.

However, it is obvious that the Phantom Troupe later became ruthless killers, acting recklessly and lawlessly. Regardless of their original intentions, they are standard villains who should be eliminated.

Kusuo Saiki turned off his phone.

While the deaths of Shakespeare and Kubi did surprise him, these are comics.

He reminded himself. Wasn't this the very reason he was so focused on reading comics? To more firmly believe that everything he was experiencing was just a comic book.

"Well, did you finish watching? Mom made your favorite beef brisket rice."

Kusuo Saiki returned the phone to Kusuke Saiki.

This is the reality where he should be.

"I just went to fix your phone and sent a few text messages. We have guests coming later," Saiki Kousuke said casually.

"Of course, it's the great news of Saiki Kusuo's return!"

Why? That guest is...

"That's right, your high school friends. Many of them came back to work here after graduation. Nobody knows you're dead, but you're not really dead. I told them you went abroad to study, um, more or less."

That's a huge difference. Is this some kind of advanced education that started from the womb, or is it an assassin's course?

"Speaking of which, Kusuo has been gone for so long, he should have learned Nen by now, right? What type are you? I heard that you're a bit neurotic about materialization."

Don't listen to Hisoka's lies; how can you believe a fraudster's talk of Transformation? Besides, I haven't learned it yet.

"That's true, superpowers are much stronger than Nen, right?"
