The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

They need to defeat Meruem; their strongest player must surpass Meruem in points to obtain the Lord's Chess.

So Kuroro is basically giving away tickets.

“Killua got three tickets, and there are five of us. The arena starts tomorrow. What about the tickets for the other two people?” Milluki pondered.

Don't count me in, I don't have any points, no need to include me.

A voice came from the front row: "Who is Saiki Kusuo?! I won a ticket!"

Who is Saiki Kusuo? I don't want to be.

"Damn it! How lucky I am!"

You're the one! You'll be the one to get the tickets, dressed as Saiki Kusuo.

"Ah! Who is Alluka?!"

Alluka also got it.

"Hey! Alluka, no! Don't just randomly pick someone else!" Killua roared at Chrollo from the front.

"Wow... no wonder he's the captain of the number one team."

"Wow, that's brave! I think the PE teacher is pretty fierce."

"Yes, the PE teacher is very authoritative..."

His imposing presence is due to that slicked-back hair... but that's not all. Why is Killua so brave?

"Really? Alluka-san, you really don't want it?" Chrollo asked.

"I want it! Brother, lift it up for me!" Alluka's azure eyes sparkled.

This shouldn't be a requirement that Nanika has to fulfill, right? Kusuo Saiki stared at Alluka, and unable to withstand those eyes for more than two seconds, he lifted Alluka up high.

Thankfully, Alluka wore pants for PE class.

Alluka and Kusuo Saiki, with their hands raised high, successfully obtained the tickets.

After school in the afternoon, Kusuo Saiki was invited by his younger brothers to have dinner.

Milluki: "What do you guys think of Shinomiya Kusuke-sensei?"

As soon as Kusuo Saiki sat down, he heard his brother's discussion behind his back.

Can we leave? It's not appropriate for you to be discussing the teacher's live-in younger brother at the same table. If I hear your suggestion, am I responsible for relaying it?

Alluka: "Kusuke Saiki is very strict, and his punishments are quite strange, but I've really learned a lot from him..."

How weird is it? Don't bring your perverse sense of humor to school, Kousuke.

Killua: "I also think Saiki-sensei is pretty good, but it seems like a lot of people dislike him? I heard that the one in Class 2 was punished by the teacher by standing in the corner."

It's no surprise that he's become annoying, but why is he even interfering with Class 2?

Milluki: "I also think that Kusuke Saiki's teaching methods are unique and efficient. Those complaining guys probably don't understand."

A class you can't understand is a very torturous class; forgive ordinary people.

Kurt: "Last time, when Kousuke-sensei was talking about human nature, there were parts I didn't understand..."

What was that guy talking about in high school?!

"It's okay, Kurt. I didn't understand everything either. If it were Gon, I'd probably faint."

"At that time, many people were also lying unconscious on the table."

What kind of non-physical attack can defeat a Nen user?

During the meal, everyone chatted in bits and pieces, from concern for Qi Mu Nanxiong's health to speculation about tomorrow's arena. The best outcome would be for someone to reach the top of the lord's points immediately after the arena ends tomorrow. Although the lord's judgment is only issued once every fourteen days, they could first negotiate with the Kingdom of Kajin on this matter.

Even children think so far ahead.

"I'm done eating! What should we do tonight?" Killua put down his chopsticks.

Of course, I'm going home to sleep tonight. You guys have arena matches to play tomorrow, right?

The Zoldyck kids had two tables set up: one for sitting and eating, and the other for discarded plates. The plates on the next table were already stacked very high because both Killua and Milluki had very good appetites.

“I ate too much, I need to go for a walk, and Milluki ate way too much!” Alluka said.

"Hey Alluka, my brother hasn't been paying attention to me! And Killua is eating almost as much as me!"

"But why is only Milluki getting fat?" Alluka asked with clear eyes.

"Ah!! Killua is definitely using his Nen ability to lose weight!"

Some people are just naturally prone to weight gain. Face reality, you idiot.

"If we're going for a walk, how about we go for a walk around the school?" Kurt suddenly suggested, listening intently to his brothers' conversation.

Why go for a walk at school? Is it because you haven't spent enough time at school during the day?

"Now that you mention it, I remember... isn't it that ghost story?"

"A legend of demons!" Alluka exclaimed excitedly.

Don't forget you're living in the Dark Continent now, where ghosts are everywhere.

Killua began his speech: "I've heard that lately, piano music has been coming from the school at night..."

Maybe it's an ant playing the piano.

"The long-haired demon walks silently, just like my older brother Illumi..."

It might be Illumi, the student council president, on patrol.

"In the men's restroom, there was a person wearing a skirt who wasn't even as tall as the urinal..."

Maybe they're just short.

"I also heard that there are distorted, inhuman figures in the elementary and junior high schools late at night. Yesterday, someone went to the elementary school to check and heard a very eerie song! It was saying in a faint voice... apple, apple, one, two... buried under the big apple tree! Wow!" Killua suddenly slammed his hand on the table and jumped up, scaring everyone.

Alluka puffed out her cheeks: "Brother, it's not scary at all when you say it like that."

Perhaps replacing the human in the introduction with "Twisted Hisoka" would create a more terrifying atmosphere.

"It's decided!" Killua suddenly said, "Whether it's scary or not, we'll go see for ourselves!"

I hope they didn't include me in that group.

"What's there to be afraid of in the Zoldyck family!"

Even though I said the Zoldyck crew might not necessarily take me with them, I guess.

"A midnight adventure for five people!"

It's reasonable for four children to need a housekeeper when they go out at night.

"By the way, Brother Nanxiong, you're not allowed to use teleportation. To experience the horror atmosphere, you absolutely can't use teleportation, and I don't use electricity either!"

Don't worry, I can't use it now even if I wanted to.

...Oh dear, does this include me completely? Perhaps it's out of politeness that I can't be excluded, good kids, but it's okay if you don't care about me.

After paying, Milluki asked Saiki Kusuo, "Kusuo-nii, you don't have any plans for tonight, right? Want to come along?"

Kusuo Saiki was taken aback. He had assumed it was a tacit agreement, but Milluki had given him a choice.

At this point, all he has to do is say that he needs to go to bed early, and his younger brothers will regretfully let him rest well. Besides, he is an ordinary person now, while his younger brothers are Nen users, elites trained by the Zoldyck family, so there is no need to worry about their safety at all.

Kusuo Saiki lowered his head and took a sip of his drink.

"...Well, nothing much planned," he heard himself say.

At night, the Zoldyck kids sneaked into the school one by one by scaling the wall. They were agile and moved with neat, cat-like steps, sneaking into the elementary school section.

Since Kusuo Saiki didn't know how to do that, he simply asked the security guard to open the side gate and entered the elementary school section.

"What's going on? There's nothing there!"

Well, so rumors are often just rumors.

The Zoldyck kids then infiltrated the junior high school.

Kusuo Saiki was in charge of exploring the first floor, while the other children were assigned to the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors.

As Kusuo Saiki walked to the end of the corridor, Nanika's face suddenly appeared in front of him!

For some reason, Kusuo Saiki wasn't scared.

Hmph, is this what it's like to get used to being an ordinary person? Although being ordinary should also be frightening, seeing Nanika's pale face with three empty skull-like features made Kusuo Saiki feel more at ease than seeing a normal human face.

This unmasked skull face is the kind of human that Kusuo Saiki has been used to seeing for over thirty years. Nanika has no expression, no eyeballs, and appears as clean as a decorative object.

“No, no,” Nanica said.

Nothing was found, right? As expected. Kusuo Saiki lifted Nanika down from the windowsill.

All that's left is the 18-story high school building.

"If there are ghosts, they're definitely on the sixth floor or higher," Killua deduced after some time.

After all, the six floors below the high school have already been explored.

"Killua, who told you this rumor? You didn't say it was a ghost just to make me lose weight, did you?" Milluki said, panting as he leaned against the railing.

"Huh? It's because you're too weak, Milluki."

"Me, weak? Are you all slacking off?! Have you checked the restrooms? Have you gone into every classroom on every floor? Have you been listening for any sounds in the teachers' offices?!"

Mi Ji is taking this way too seriously.

"Huh? Ah, um... um, of course we were all super serious, we didn't even miss the girls' restroom, right, Kurt?"

“I didn’t go into the women’s restroom,” Kurt replied.

Very good. Don't go into the women's restroom just because of some non-existent rumor, Killua.

Kusuo Saiki stood at the entrance of the building, while his younger brothers were still discussing which floors each person would go to. Milluki suggested that everyone go up together, while Alluka supported that everyone act separately.

During the discussion, Kusuo Saiki faintly heard the sound of bowing strings.

Even with the abilities of a superhuman, the sound was still faint on such a quiet night, indicating that the sound was coming from a great distance.

Kusuo Saiki looked up.

"What's wrong, Brother Nanxiong? Did you find something?"
