The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

"I actually gave birth to such a weak child... Ah—!"

The screams made Nanxiong want to cover his ears.

It's somewhat scary.

But he knew that this was how Kikyo Zoldyck was in the original story, which allowed him to continue pretending without any psychological burden.

However, his mother seemed consumed by guilt because of him and showed no signs of trying to conceive. He was really looking forward to the arrival of his former second brother, Milluki, who had been giving up, so that he could appear more ordinary.

“Alright, Kiju, let go of Kusuo Saiki.” Silva spoke up, and his words always carried weight. Kiju immediately released Kusuo Saiki.

In fact, despite his seemingly madness, Kiju's strength was not heavy at all, and he would not hurt Saiki Kusuo in the slightest.

"Kusuo Saiki".

...Kusuo Saiki sat upright.

“You’re almost four years old now. I want to tell you that our family has a long-standing tradition.”

They would be tortured and subjected to grueling training from the age of four, and even begin practicing killing after six months or a year.

We already knew this from everyone's voice.

“Every year at the age of four, members of the Zoldyck family begin special training to learn the family’s traditional skills…”

That's easy for you to say. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a carpenter or a craftsman.

[But given Xiaonan's physical condition, even running would be difficult, let alone killing someone with her own hands.]

[What should we do? This is really worrying.]

As Silva recounted his teachings, Kusuo Saiki heard a different perspective.

It's not that the content is different; it's just that most people are worried about this.

It's a voice, a very youthful voice, from his older brother, Illumi Zoldyck, whom he's rarely seen.

The number of times you see someone indicates how rigorous the training is.

The older brother noticed that Kusuo Saiki was looking at him. His seemingly unfocused eyes met Kusuo's gaze, and he even gave a slight smile.

It can actually smile? I always thought it had facial paralysis.

Don't worry, your older brother will protect you, and so will your entire family.

Is this what a normal older brother is like? He seems very reliable.

However, as a superpowered individual, I don't need anyone to protect me.

Even though I come from a family of assassins, I will still have an ordinary childhood as a normal person.

After all this time, Silba finally got to the point.

"Now we hope you can make something of yourself academically, Kusuo, do you understand?"

Kusuo, that's the closest nickname his parents used for him. They never called him "Kusuo," but they did call Illumi "Kusuo."

This can also be considered a form of giving up.

That's fine. If he doesn't attract attention, let him remain invisible here until he can leave.

[Father, don't worry, I will study hard.] This is the message from Kusuo Saiki.

Chapter 3: A Glimpse into the Birth of the Younger Brothers

More than a year later, Kiju became pregnant.

Despite his busy studies, Kusuo Saiki finally achieved excellent results by improving the discovery of a new type of bomb, thus earning the opportunity to meet his mother.

The housekeeper once said that there should be two children.

However, Kusuo Saiki, whose X-ray vision was recently restored, can see that there are actually three children. Like telepathy, X-ray vision is a passive ability that has been present since his recovery. He can see through objects by staring at them for a short time. In other words, in the courtyard where the Zoldyck butlers gather, at a certain moment of staring, he will see naked humans, regardless of age or gender.

An ordinary person might get excited if they gained X-ray vision, but unfortunately, he had already gotten tired of seeing naked people when he was three years old in his previous life.

Kusuo Saiki stared at Kiju's stomach and quickly determined that there was a pair of identical twins inside, as well as a separate one that was slightly larger than the identical twins. Perhaps this was Milluki, whom he had squeezed out.

All three fetuses were healthy and in the correct positions. He also took the opportunity to observe Kikyo's body. The Nen user's body was also very healthy during the pregnancy, and even showed signs of a strong surge of life energy.

This pregnancy was taken very seriously by the whole family.

After all, the last one produced a "good-for-nothing" like Kusuo Saiki. According to the butler's thoughts, the parents did not want their weak and young child to be born into the Zoldyck family.

I would really appreciate it, truly. I also sincerely wish I had been born into an ordinary family.

Kusuo Saiki thought so.

Knowing his visit to his mother couldn't be too long, Saiki Kusuo quickly left the room. As he walked out alone, he ran into Illumi.

[...Hello, elder brother.]

Illumi nodded, clearly pleased.

Oh dear, he really loves being called "brother".

"Xiao Nan, this is for you."

Limited edition chocolate, a treat that Illumi and he both love.

At Saiki Kusuo's age, people usually have to take trace amounts of poison. Although it doesn't have much of an impact on his health, it does affect the taste of the food to some extent.

Only Illumi would bring him genuine snacks, and they were all high-quality, meticulously processed items.

Thank you, brother. I will never forget this kindness.

[I always find sweets so cute.] Illumi's inner thoughts.

[I want to touch your hair.]

Illumi reached out, but Saiki Kusuo instinctively dodged it.

[Huh? You actually managed to spot me? I just learned stealth; even mission targets with Nen abilities can't detect me.]

...Kusuo Saiki paused for a moment. Who practices stealth while touching their younger brother's head?!

[Perhaps this is an innate talent of the Zoldyck family.]

Saiki Kusuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, let's go back inside. The temperature has been a bit low lately," Illumi said.

In fact, after studying, Kusuo Saiki no longer deliberately pretended to be sick. Using his academic achievements to offset other impressions and using his superpowers to solidify the impression of being physically weak was not a big problem.

As for studying, it was not difficult for him.

Achieving something is just a matter of moving your fingers.

His innate extraordinary memory is enough for him to demonstrate his talent in scientific research. Coupled with some ideas he learned from his former brother, Sosuke, it seems he can keep up the act for another ten years without any problem.

Because of Saiki Kusuo's special physical condition, he was able to stay at home all the time.

Compared to my previous life, it was actually a little more comfortable.

As the days passed, just as Kijo was about to give birth, many people began to covet the Zoldyck family.

The Zoldyck family is a family of assassins, but not one that hides its identity. In fact, they are the world's number one assassin family, with no locks on their doors, ready to let anyone seek revenge.

The Zoldyck family lives on the summit of Mt. Kukuro, which is a famous scenic spot. There are always tour groups at the foot of the mountain, and they will openly introduce the existence of the Zoldyck family to tourists.

[Because new brothers are about to be born, the Zoldyck Line's tourist buses at the foot of the mountain have suspended operations.]

[This gives you an idea of ​​how dire the situation is!]

—These are my thoughts, Illumi.

"It's just that the bus service has been suspended," Saiki Kusuo remarked from the side.

However, there are indeed people with ulterior motives.

As he grew older, Kusuo Saiki's telepathic range expanded slightly, and he deliberately used it to be able to hear the thoughts of those at the foot of the mountain.

Those with Nen abilities also have many enemies.

In fact, he wasn't too surprised that enemies would come to challenge him every year. The butler would easily deal with them along the way, and there were many traps in the house.

But there's one person who seems to be slightly stronger...

[Brother Illumi, it seems someone is coming to challenge us.]

"Hmm? Is that so?" [It would be better to just drive the bus and make some money once.]

Is money all you care about, bro?

With three new children in the family, the expenses are quite significant.

Twelve-year-old Illumi was very worried about his family's financial situation.

Soon, Illumi reported the matter to his father. It was unclear why his father believed that twelve-year-old Illumi could observe such things, or why Illumi believed the information suddenly given by his frail younger brother. But the butler appeared immediately.

It was Zipanian, the old housekeeper of the family, who was also very kind to Qi Munanxiong and always genuinely cared for him, but was quite strict.

“Ziponian, wait a minute, I’ll go too.”

“No problem, Young Master Illumi.” Ziponian smiled and was extremely respectful.

After the two left, Saiki Kusuo, who was waiting, still felt that something was wrong.

The ability to see through things has recently returned; I wonder if the ability to see a thousand miles will still be usable.

He turned his back and used his clairvoyance on the wall. The condition for activating clairvoyance is to make his eyes look cross-eyed.

Success! With a little more effort, it can still be used!

They quickly found the Zoldyck subjugation team gathered at the foot of the mountain. Next to the team was a child with blue hair, not very tall, about the same size as Illumi...

Kusuo Saiki realized why he felt something was wrong; that person's voice, though still that of a child, possessed a level of Nen comparable to Illumi's.

You should know that Illumi has been training 24 hours a day since he started practicing. He even sleeps with a huge rock hanging over his head from the edge of a cliff. When he first started this training, Kusuo Saiki woke up every day worried that his older brother would die suddenly and that he would be forced to become the second pillar of the family.

How did that person catch up with the training machine Illumi? And he even put on makeup for himself, that's really strange.

But he's still just a kid. With Zipanian around, he'll definitely be able to beat him. Saiki Kusuo can rest assured.

On the other side, the triplets had a somewhat difficult birth, but everything went smoothly, with cries coming from inside the house.

Milluki with black hair, Killua with white hair, and Alluka with black hair.
