The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

"Thump, thump, thump thump thump..." Hisoka pressed his hand against the wall, making increasingly rapid thumping sounds as he approached.

"What idiot would add a voiceover to a heartbeat?!" Kusuo Saiki said, his face darkening as he took a step back.

"Did you hear that? My heart is beating really fast. What's Pink coming out for? I'm getting more and more curious... Ah..." Hisoka:

You're just excited, aren't you? Compared to that, my purpose is completely irrelevant. So why did Hisoka come here in the first place? There shouldn't be anything here that could interest him, right?

Chapter 29 The Journey to the World Tree 1

"I'll be frank~ I'm here to investigate the Phantom Troupe, you know? The Phantom Troupe, their leader is quite delicious."

Kusuo Saiki paused for 0.3 seconds: Ah, have we already entered that plot? The one where Hisoka joins the Phantom Troupe and chases after Chrollo.

Kuroro, delicious? He's just a bookish decoration, all he does is fake smile all day long, how is he delicious? He should be the one getting into fights, the Phantom Troupe members should be the ones doing it.

Wait a minute, Hisoka's words revealed an even more important piece of information... The Phantom Troupe is here?! They're here? Could it be because of that thing Gin left behind...? Oh no, no way, probably, absolutely not. Gin should have only left me that item that weakens abilities. What would these Nen users want that for?

When the spaceship landed, Kusuo Saiki realized that the people who disembarked at this station were very different from ordinary people.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of people selling train tickets appeared.

"A huge tour bus that goes all the way around the station, come and take a look, only 230,000 kyats!"

Two hundred and thirty thousand? That's highway robbery! It's more than a hundred times more expensive than Kukuroku Mountain!

The ticket seller had a dark thought in his mind.

What exactly happened? I checked beforehand; this place should be a regular tourist attraction, and it's not peak tourist season yet!

"Hey, pink-haired guy, you're thinking about it, right? Come check out our route, it's only 230,000 Jenny, just one spot left!"

"Yay, yay." Kusuo Saiki sighed. That's why he didn't like listening to people's inner thoughts. They'd all be exposed, wouldn't they? If they only heard what was out in the open, the world would be a much cleaner place.

Kusuo Saiki glanced at the map and, coincidentally, the first stop of this train was Little World Tree. He hesitated again, even though he had originally intended to turn around and leave.

"Hey buddy, these kinds of cars all have a starting price, it'll cost at least this much." The man held up two fingers, and from his tone, I knew it was 200,000.

Kusuo Saiki turned and left. He looked into the distance and decided to use his clairvoyance to find the Little World Tree and then teleport.

Making money from a billionaire in debt isn't so easy.

"How much for a chartered car? Let's go to the Little World Tree and come back~" The rich Hisoka appeared.

Kusuo Saiki turned around, and Hisoka gave him a flirty wink.

Kusuo Saiki turned his head back: Use your telescope, riding in this car will make you lose your integrity.

"This car was chartered for you, get in quickly, Little Pink?"

Kusuo Saiki: ...

His every move is dangerous right now, which is why he thought of taking a car; taking a car is the better option.

Even though it was Hisoka's invitation, shouldn't the favor be attributed to Illumi?

I didn't hear how much Hisoka negotiated. Since he didn't mention money, it probably means he doesn't have to pay it himself.

Tsk, when did I become so stingy that I have to haggle over a mere 200,000 yuan?

While he was thinking, Hisoka suddenly threw his ability at him, a pink, chewing gum-like thing flying towards him.

Although he didn't use his voice, Kusuo Saiki could see it and immediately teleported to the back seat of the car, the furthest away from Hisoka.

"Hehe, I can see it after all. Let's go, little driver."

"Yes, yes!" The driver started the vehicle shakily, his mind preoccupied with getting the two people to their destination as quickly as possible.

Well, judging from the driver's state, it's hard not to think that Hisoka beat the man into submission; his inner thoughts are full of resentment.

Kusuo Saiki looked out the window at the scenery. The car was moving incredibly slowly, and he could see every place and every person it passed clearly. His mind was also racing. There were clearly many Nen users here, and much competition and scheming. Kusuo Saiki finally understood: Gin's whereabouts had been deliberately leaked. Someone had probably released information about the treasure in order to find Gin, which was why so many people had gathered here.

This is really troublesome. But Kusuo Saiki is determined to get that thing.

The car passed a bookstore, and a person was coming out carrying books. A stack of old books was quite eye-catching.

Kusuo Saiki also looked at that person, who was wearing a black and white striped shirt and casual pants. His short hair was loose and fell down, revealing a cross on his forehead as it blew in the wind. Two blue light bulbs by his ears clearly indicated the person's identity.

Sorry, I'm blind. No one appeared, I didn't see anything.

"Hey, can't you drive?! Back up and let them out! You're going to block the road!" the driver suddenly shouted, and the car just happened to brake suddenly and stop a short distance after passing the bookstore.

This is terrible. Kusuo Saiki's face darkened. The honking of cars drew everyone's attention to this side, but the person in the car ahead causing the traffic jam, out of selfishness, showed no intention of backing up.

"Get back!" Kusuo Saiki instantly used his ability to make the car move backward, and at the same time pushed the car that was blocking the way forward, clearing the road ahead instantly.

Kuroro noticed something was wrong. He had only given a glance to the side of the traffic jam, but now he stopped and stared at the tire tracks left on the road.

The two cars were moving abnormally; their smooth coordination seemed unnatural, as if they were suddenly being controlled by the same person.

Kusuo Saiki: Oh no, this has attracted attention instead. You want to steal everything, don't you? Why don't you take a look at Hisoka's abilities?

Hisoka also noticed the subtle anomaly in the vehicle and turned his gaze to the left rear, to the most suspicious and mysterious person he knew, Kusuo Saiki.

Saiki Kusuo said.

"Huh? Oh, okay." The driver then realized what was happening and started the engine.

Kusuo Saiki shifted his body slightly, partially blocking Hisoka's view in their direction. Coincidentally, Hisoka's line of sight was in the same area as Chrollo's; he couldn't let Hisoka spot Chrollo...

"Oh? If I'm not mistaken, that looks like Kuroro."

You only saw a pant leg, right? Is Kuroro's image etched into your DNA?!

No, you're mistaken, absolutely not.

"Driver, stop the car," Hisoka ordered without hesitation.

"Huh? Should I stop or go..." The driver slowed down again, but didn't fully apply the foot brake.

Hisoka and Kusuo Saiki exchanged glances and chuckled.

"I chartered the car because I wanted to go to the Little World Tree with you. Little Pink, wait for me a moment? I'll come back as soon as I confirm if it's Kuroro."

That's right, no need to confirm, you two together will definitely cause trouble.

Chapter 30 The Journey to the World Tree 2

"Fine, I'll fly there myself." Just as Saiki Kusuo was about to get up, he noticed a very subtle pulling sensation on his body.

Hisoka's "chewing gum"? When?!

"If Xiaofen wants to leave, the car will probably have a hole in it, right? We might as well pay for the car as well when we pay for the damages."

This guy... is terrible. Kusuo Saiki's face darkened. Although he can use his restoration ability now, restoring himself to seven years ago? The car looks pretty new, but it'll probably become a pile of parts by now, right?

We can only wait for Hisoka to defeat Chrollo and come back? What a joke, there's no way he can defeat him.

Kusuo Saiki set out his conditions.

"Hmm, can't I stay with Kuroro a little longer? Ten minutes, okay? The thing won't disappear that quickly."

Hisoka had already guessed what Kusuo Saiki was eager to get from the Lesser World Tree, and agreed to the condition. Ten minutes later, Kusuo Saiki reluctantly accepted and sat back down.

However, this chewing gum-like ability is really disgusting. Could you please remove it before leaving? I'm a very trustworthy person.

However, Hisoka had already left, heading straight for Chrollo, who was dressed casually.

Kusuo Saiki flipped open the brochure in the car, which depicted a small World Tree, slender and tall, reaching straight up into the clouds.

He only watched up to the Chimera Ant arc in Hunter x Hunter, and there were rumors about the Dark Continent. He wondered if Togashi had finished drawing it yet. If he had, then he would know some information about Alluka's future.

Although he couldn't see it either.

A subtle tremor ran through the car as someone boarded. Kusuo Saiki looked up, his face immediately darkening.

Hisoka got into the car with Chrollo.

Hey, you're going to take care of Kuroro, right? Are you sure you're not going to cause me trouble?

"I'm sorry, but in order to prevent Kuroro from leaving, I have no choice but to reveal the information that Pink has a treasure."

This guy revealed the one thing he should never have, so we can't afford to be careless for even a second. Hopefully, Kuroro won't discover he's the same person he was years ago...

It's just a thought now.

What are the contents of the treasure?

Who knows what other treasures are hidden besides those that suppress superpowers?

"What about value?"

How can you know the value if you don't even know the content?

Kuroro paused for a moment, but did not get off the bus. Instead, he chose to sit in the seat in front of Kusuo Saiki, which was the second furthest corner from Hisoka.

The consensus that humanity can reach is that we must stay away from freaks like Hisoka.

“Treasure is only interesting when you see it with your own eyes, right? Kuroro, you came here because you heard about the treasure, didn’t you? You came here without knowing the contents, just because you knew that a Ruins Hunter had discovered it, right?” Hisoka’s voice, which sounded like his throat was itchy, came through.

Chrollo didn't reply, as if he hadn't heard Hisoka speak. Only Kusuo Saiki could hear Chrollo deep in thought.

Don't try to communicate with me telepathically, it's strange.

Kusuo Saiki complained that it seemed like a troublesome thing for this kind of person to know about his abilities, and he hoped that no more of his abilities would be revealed.

The bus traveled smoothly all the way and soon arrived at the World Tree.

The World Tree requires climbing to reach a height of over a thousand meters, but the three people standing at the foot of the tree had no doubt about their ability to climb it.

No one doubts themselves, but the other two doubt Kusuo Saiki's abilities.

Hisoka and Chrollo both looked at Kusuo Saiki. Although they didn't speak, their thoughts and expressions conveyed the same message: Can you do it?

Don't underestimate people with superpowers.

Kusuo Saiki did not give a direct answer. He hesitated, unsure whether to reveal his ability to fly, his current ability to teleport without cooldown, or his telekinesis, or simply walk on the air...

Seeing that Saiki Kusuo was hesitating, Kuroro thought for a moment and said:

No, my teleportation is very stable, but if I shake my foot even slightly when I land, this malnourished sapling could break, which is too dangerous for the tree.

Hisoka shuffled the cards in his hands, deep in thought:

Refuse, reject, don't want to get chewing gum on my skin again.
