The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

The Hunter Exam? I hope it won't be too complicated.

The next day, Killua swaggered into the company wearing a mask, clearly indicating that he hadn't mastered disguise techniques very well.

"Hey, I'm here to see Qiao Busi," Killua whispered to the receptionist. Qiao Busi was the pseudonym of Saiki Kusuo, the company's president.

"Looking for the boss? Do you have an appointment? Our boss usually doesn't see any guests."

"I need to make an appointment?" Killua asked in surprise. "Just let me in. He's definitely waiting for me."

Kusuo Saiki couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to remind him.

Considering that these companies are all under the Zoldyck family, how did Killua come up with the idea of ​​going directly into the company and looking for him? Well, if Illumi wanted to track him down, he wouldn't be able to escape at all, right?

—2 minutes later—

"It's not my fault! You didn't say you'd wait for me outside, really!"

"Hehe, Killua, don't be angry—" Alluka was very happy to see Killua and ran up to hug him happily.

"We?" Killua stroked Alluka's head, then suddenly emphasized, "We, you just said we, right! Brother Kusunoki, are you going to...!"

Killua's expression hardened: "Brother Nanxiong, could it be that Illumi sent them to monitor us?"

This guy is really cautious, well, caution is a good thing. Kusuo Saiki:

Without a doubt, it's Alluka.

Kusuo Saiki: No, I did give Alluka a meteorite necklace, you just didn't know it was a meteorite.

"Hmph, well..." Killua crossed his arms and pretended, but Kusuo Saiki knew that he was secretly overjoyed.

It's clear that Killua also likes Kusuo Saiki, at least more than he likes Illumi.

"Let's go on an adventure together!"

"An adventure? Where are we going to go on an adventure?" Alluka was a true Killua supporter.

To avoid suspicion, Kusuo Saiki carried a small bag with him when he went out. Inside were some gold and silver fragments and jewelry, as well as three books of varying thicknesses, which he used to exchange items or books to pass the time.

He has long been accustomed to bringing a book with him and reading it in rotation.

His butler, Xiao Xiang, would organize books and props in his room. Yes, Xiao Xiang, who took care of him closely, had known for a long time that he could change his abilities, but she didn't suspect anything and just assumed that this was the Nen ability that Saiki Kusuo had developed.

"I've found something really fun, you'll never guess!" Killua shouted from the middle of the street, despite being from a family of assassins.

You're taking the Hunter Exam, right? I knew that without telepathy.

Killua, however, didn't reveal the secret, instead holding up a finger to indicate it, while coaxing Alluka to set off. Kusuo Saiki followed behind them, hands in his pockets. There should be trials before the Hunter Exam, and with Alluka along, things might be a bit difficult... right?

How could that be? Under the protection of a superpowered individual.

Chapter 35: Entering the Hunter Exam

Meanwhile, the story of the Hunter x Hunter world has finally officially begun.

Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio, the three main characters, have already met on a small boat. Those who would appear at the exam venue are now heading there one after another, including the rookie killer Tonpa, Hisoka, Illumi in disguise as Shota-Ku, and a minor character carrying a computer, etc.

Across from the steakhouse, Kusuo Saiki and his brothers were drinking tea and eating their last snacks.

"Brother Nanxiong, what if we don't go in now or we won't be able to get into the exam room?"

Although many people have already gone in, the main characters haven't arrived yet. He needs to observe them before that. It doesn't matter which number they enter; he just wants to observe whether there's anything strange about the people entering the examination hall.

At least from what we've observed so far, there are no time travelers or people dressed in a way that surpasses the strangeness of Jitaraku.

Am I overthinking it? I feel a little disappointed that I'm the only one who traveled here? So it really was an accident caused by my superpowers.

"Hey, Nanxiong-ge, we can bring in more desserts and stuff! Is it because Illumi is preventing us from taking the Hunter Exam, and you're just stalling for time here?" Killua suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, anxious because another group of people had gone in. "Let's go, Alluka, let's ignore him."

You're so afraid of Illumi that yesterday he walked right under your nose, looking like a complete idiot.

The two children had already gone downstairs, so Kusuo Saiki had no choice but to get up.

"Sir, the total is 32180 jini. You can pay 32,000 jini." The waiter immediately stepped forward with a perceptive look.

"So expensive." Kusuo Saiki sighed inwardly, then pulled out his wallet, only to realize that Killua probably dragged Alluka downstairs because he didn't want to pay.

Sure enough, when Kusuo Saiki packed some extra desserts into his bag and went downstairs, Killua, who was like a kitten, clung to him again.

"Hehe, if Brother Nanxiong comes in with us, then he won't be one of Illumi's people."

Kusuo Saiki: Go in now, go in alone. Illumi himself is inside.

Kusuo could hear what Killua was thinking, so he took two chocolates out of his bag and gave them to him.

Saiki Kusuo said.

"Stingy... even though you eat a lot."

"The amount of dessert a superpowered person can eat is different from that of an ordinary person," Saiki Kusuo said calmly, arms crossed.

Alluka was already standing in front of the steakhouse, looking left and right, before deciding to push the door open and go in: "Uncle, uncle! We'd like a steak set meal!"

"Oh! How do you want it baked?" the owner asked with a smile.

The three of them already knew the answer; it had been told to them when they were brought here. However, because Saiki Kusuo wanted to observe the other examinees, he asked for the coded message and waited on the other side.

Alluka turned her gaze to Killua. The twins' tacit understanding was self-evident. Killua touched his chin, touched his chin again... and slowly looked at Kusuo Saiki behind him.

Oh no, what do you mean by forgetting the code?

But to be honest, Kusuo Saiki didn't write it down in detail. He thought that the two kids would definitely fight over the answers to the code, so there was no need to write it down.

You know it's weird to have a steakhouse next to a luxury building, right? So why did you open a steakhouse here?

"Oh! I remember now! Roast it over a low flame!" Killua immediately chimed in.

"I want to roast it over a slow fire too!" Alluka imitated.

Actually, only one person needs to speak.

Another waitress had already approached them and pointed to the door of the private room: "Okay, please come into the private room, the three of you."

The private room didn't even have the most basic table and chairs.

Killua looked around, then pulled Alluka to tap the floor: "Will there be any secret passages? Kusunoki-nii."

As soon as Kusuo Saiki finished speaking, the room began to sink, and within seconds, it landed steadily on the ground.

The familiar chilly atmosphere felt like coming home. Kusuo Saiki checked the temperature and warmed up the area around Alluka a little.

Eyes, countless probing eyes, immediately fell upon them.

Hisoka's laughter stood out particularly in the crowd.

Ghost stories immediately attracted attention.

Kusuo Saiki came out first, leading the two children away from the center of the crowd's view. Before they had taken two steps, they encountered the Hunter Association's little bean-faced man.

"The three of you don't have number plates yet. Please accept this and register your names."

Kusuo Saiki Zoldyck, Killua Zoldyck, Alluka Zoldyck. The whole Zoldyck family is here! Aren't you happy? Beanman clearly knows what kind of family the Zoldyck family is, and his expression turned strange for a moment.

Don't worry, we're not here to cause trouble, we're here to have fun.

After seeing off the Bean Man, Kusuo Saiki led the two to a corner to sit in before looking at the number plates.

400, 401, 402. Wait, these numbers are consecutive with the main characters' numbers.

Without hesitation, Kusuo Saiki threw 402 to Killua, 401 to Alluka, and kept 400 for himself.

That way, the main characters will really have consecutive numbers.

"Why did Nanxiong get the first number? I want a round number!"

You weren't a whole number to begin with, so I refuse. It's easier to remember if your number is in the same order as the main characters'. Those are your precious future friends; you'll regret losing them. The main characters haven't arrived yet. Saiki Kusuo scanned his surroundings. Even now, many eyes were still fixed on them. He looked back at each of them, listening to their thoughts.

He remembered that there was someone who could assassinate members of the Zoldyck family. Was he among this group? Kusuo Saiki immediately became more serious when he thought of this plot. After all, it didn't matter how Killua was assassinated, as he had excellent self-defense skills, but Alluka was innocent.

Hisoka and Illumi, those two whose gazes were barely perceptible, were not worth paying attention to. Was the person approaching Tonpa? Just some trash, not worth worrying about either. The one holding the laptop… he remembered him, it was…

The gray computer wasn't held by some black-haired, low-level thug like Milluki, but by a blond man with fair skin, who was also holding a strangely shaped cell phone.

No, you must be mistaken, this person...

Kusuo Saiki immediately looked away. But his gaze seemed to have already attracted the other person's attention, and the person looked up, revealing a very pleased smile!

Can anyone tell him why the swordsman is here?

Why are you laughing? Has the swordsman already recognized him?

...Wait, that familiar voice.

Kusuo Saiki was not mistaken; this person was enveloped in Nen power, and there was not a fourth Nen user among the candidates in the entire examination hall.

Are Nen users really that free these days?

The key point is that inner voice just now, if he didn't mishear it...

This must be Kuroro.

Although he has the face of a knight-errant, isn't that Kuroro?

Has the Phantom Troupe leader been that free lately?!

Chapter 36 Hunter Exam: Stay Calm, There's Just One More Person

Kuroro Chrollo closed his laptop and put it in his bag, then put his phone in his pocket and walked straight toward Kusuo Saiki.

Don't come any closer, Hisoka knows that, right? Even if it's just a swordsman, the presence of members of the Phantom Troupe would attract Hisoka's attention, wouldn't it?

So why...

Hisoka was biting a playing card in the distance.

So it was you, the one who loves watching the show and doesn't mind the trouble.

Kuroro, however, turned his gaze to the side of Saiki Kusuo:

What does it matter? Following his gaze, Kusuo Saiki realized that Toba had started chatting with his two younger brothers at some point, and had even taken out drinks for each of them. Alluka was already drinking!

Hey, hey, hey, Killua, what are you doing? Alluka can't drink this, right?

No, Alluka can drink it too, she has some resistance to poison, but why would she drink something poisoned?
