The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

"That is! The crown of Prince XVI, the tragic prince who disappeared for unknown reasons on the day of his coronation!"

“That’s right! It was originally intended to be presented to Queen Ingu…”

What's that commotion? It sounds like they're showing off their skills on both sides. Saiki Kusuo stands on the shore, gazing into the distance. The two analytical voices belong to Kurapika and Chrollo, who are searching for treasure in opposite directions, yet they are the few encyclopedic figures in the room.

Wow, the two of them are really similar in this respect, even though they are rivals.

Kusuo Saiki jumped down and saw a recessed area on the seabed nearby, where a shawl-like object was left behind, which looked quite valuable.

Just as he was about to go down, a bag of diamonds landed in front of him.

Looking up, Illumi appeared.

Kusuo Saiki readily accepted the offer, but his target wasn't the second-class room. He remembered that Leorio had a private room, and although it was hot, he, as a psychic, wasn't afraid.

They switched places before Leorio entered the room.

The hotel was converted from a large, stranded ship, probably a warship. Kusuo Saiki sat on the deck, sunbathing, calmly waiting for Leorio, who was almost the last one, to come and change rooms.

The sunlight was so warm that he almost wanted to take a lazy nap.

This place was far from the mainland, and apart from the examinees and two elderly people who ran a hotel, there was no one else around, so Kusuo Saiki found some peace and quiet.

In the distance, Killua, Gon, and Alluka were happily exploring various places, not caring about the good things they found, and searching for more interesting things everywhere.

How lively the children are!

"Grandma! You'd better take a good look at this box of treasure; it's absolutely worth a lot of money!"

Oh my gosh, are they finally here?

Kusuo Saiki teleports below and gains X-ray vision!

Leorio, carrying a huge box of worthless cannonballs, should at least take a look at what's inside the heavy treasure chest before handing over the treasure!

“These shells aren’t very valuable, so you’ll only get a third-class room…” The old lady handed Leorio a key.

Kusuo Saiki stepped forward to greet him.

Leorio was groaning when he saw Kusuo Saiki suddenly stop complaining: "Oh! I remember you're Killua's brother? Haven't you found the treasure yet? I was going to ask you this before, is that red stain on your coat an injury? If you need treatment, I can help!"

The depression disappeared in an instant, didn't it? Your emotional management is amazing.

"So my room is a single room? This..." Leorio was delighted when he found out.

Don't get too excited yet, your room is super hot.

Before Kusuo Saiki could finish speaking, Leorio snatched the key from his hand.

"I'll reluctantly accept Kurapika's offer! No need to thank me!" Leorio tossed his keys aside and left.

Oh dear, I thought he'd have to check the room himself before he could change. I'm just glad he was able to change smoothly. Saiki Kusuo turned around and went to the old woman to complete the registration.

This is the heartfelt voice of a kind-hearted old lady.

Let's say thank you, Grandma.

Actually, there was still one room available. Killua and Gon were in one room, while Alluka was assigned to be with other people. Kusuo Saiki originally wanted to switch to a room with Alluka as well.

Unfortunately, the other person sharing a room with Alluka happened to be Illumi, so Kusuo Saiki immediately decided to stay in a real single room.

Illumi is now in a pitiful state, and Killua sees Illumi as a threatening nail monster. Alluka will probably sleep with Killua and Gon now; it's not a big deal for three little boys to sleep in one room.

*I don't have a younger brother, so I want to sleep with my older brother.*

No, don't emphasize that. Avoiding danger was the right decision, and Illumi would approve of Killua once he knew, so don't doubt the Zoldyck family's loving relationship.

Kusuo Saiki arrived at the extremely hot single room. It was safe inside the ship, and the children, Illumi, would be supervising him, so he could get some rest.

The room temperature dropped rapidly after Kusuo Saiki stepped into the room, and the iron objects that had been extremely hot from the sun instantly cooled down, bringing everything to the most comfortable temperature.

The small room contained a bed by the window, a large, round ship window that was also the only source of light. Located on the top deck of the ship, the room received excellent natural light, and therefore, the heating was also top-notch. The room also included a table, a chair, and a separate bathroom; though small, it had everything one needed.

Kusuo Saiki took off his coat, then his layers of clothes and pants.

Although superpowered individuals can restore their clothes, Kusuo Saiki also takes baths. He enjoys the process of the water running down his face, feeling the warm water caressing his skin—a very ordinary kind of happiness.

He went into the bathroom and put his white coat into the warm water with soap. Since he had been bleeding for three days, his recovery ability could only return him to one day ago. Removing the wristband would restore him to seven years ago. Neither method would solve the problem, so Kusuo Saiki decided to wash himself.

After he finished showering and felt refreshed, he used his superpowers to mimic a front-loading washing machine to wash and spin-dry the rest of his clothes, and then dried them at a suitable temperature.

Only white coats.

The white coat, stained with blood and congealed for three days, was obviously difficult to clean. The blood had spread due to Saiki Kusuo's soaking, and even after being treated in a front-loading washing machine, the blood clots could not be removed.

Oh dear, oh dear, should we give up...?

How could that be? What could possibly be difficult for a superpowered person?

Chapter 50 Hunter Exam Accommodation

As the sun sets, Killua and Alluka are happily exploring on the ship, Kurapika is dealing with his tribe's ship, and everyone is busy with their own things. Even at dinner time, Kusuo Saiki hasn't left the bathroom.

Why? Because it just won't get clean.

If it weren't for the stab mark on the clothes that was difficult to replicate, he would have already asked Xiao Xiang to change into a different one.

An elderly woman prepared dinner for the students, providing a fixed amount for each student.

"Isn't there an extra portion here? Grandma, could I have this one? I'm still not full!"

"Oh...no, this one belongs to a candidate. How strange. Why aren't you coming down to eat now?"

"Killua, could it be your brother? I haven't seen him all afternoon!"

"He wouldn't be unaware that there's food to eat, would he... Granny, do you know which room number 400 is in?" Killua jumped over and asked.

Upon hearing his name called, Kusuo Saiki glanced downstairs, where he was holding two pieces of white rags.

Because mimicking the washing machine's cycle doesn't get the clothes clean enough, I had to hand-wash them, and then the delicate clothes...

Kusuo Saiki sighed and put his coat back on. Because most of the fabric fragments were in the water, the coat got wet again before he could finish putting it back on.

Okay, wetting it is the first step in washing. After dinner, I'll use the computer to look up how to wash this kind of clothes without using my hands.

Now he wears straight-leg pants and a black vest, with long-sleeved inner armor. The vest is wide but exposes his arms. Only when he wears a white coat does this outfit look normal. Now, the inner layer is longer than the outer layer, which looks very strange.

To avoid worrying his younger brothers, Kusuo Saiki went downstairs.

The change in his attire only attracted the attention of some acquaintances. Kusuo Saiki got his food and, unusually, sat down at Killua's table to eat.

"Brother Kusuo!" Alluka hugged Kusuo with great joy.

Kusuo Saiki remained unmoved, calmly eating his dinner.

"Where did Killua's white coat go?" Gon pointed out.

I was asked the question I least wanted to answer.

"It's too hot, so Nanxiong-ge probably took it off, right? And there's blood on it. I would have taken it off a long time ago."

Yes, I took it off, and I may never wear it again.

"I asked Saiki Kusuo."

He knew that the Hunter Exam was almost halfway over, and there wasn't much time left for fun.

"Happy! Very happy!" Alluka raised her hands high, and only then did Kusuo Saiki notice a band-aid on Alluka's chin, which looked like a small purple swelling when viewed through the light.

Kusuo Saiki touched the Alluka with his hand.

"Ah, he accidentally bumped into the deck!" Killua replied.

Kusuo Saiki criticized that the deck's words represented what happened today, and Kusuo Saiki casually used Restore to quietly restore Alluka.

"Okay, I know—Kuxiong-nii is so strict!" Killua grinned, casually putting his hands behind his head.

Kusuo Saiki didn't finish his sentence, but Killua understood the meaning behind it.

"Ah, of course, I will definitely protect her, don't worry, Brother Kusunoki." Killua became much more serious when Alluka's abilities were mentioned.

Good that you understand. The surveillance is currently in Illumi's hands. If Alluka uses her powers during the upcoming storm, you'll probably be eliminated early.

A storm, yes, Kusuo Saiki had foreseen it all along; the disaster that everyone would soon face was inevitable.

Xiao Jie looked left and right: "What are you guys talking about? You're only saying half of what you mean."

Killua grinned mischievously: "Kusuo-nii said that if Alluka gets injured again, he'll give me and you a big punch each!"

"Huh? Why do I need one too?"

"Because you also said you would protect Alluka, right? We'll share the good times and the bad!"

Xiao Jie seemed to understand, but then nodded seriously: "Oh... I see, I understand!"

"Why don't you say something else?" Saiki Kusuo retorted.

After finishing his meal, Kusuo Saiki returned to his room, only to find someone standing in front of him: Kuroro.

Kusuo Saiki immediately realized through telepathy that he was in the same room as Hisoka.

"Sigh, I just want a single room." Kuroro sighed, a rare occurrence for him.

Kusuo Saiki tilted his head.

Why did he think he would give him the room and then take his key to choose to live with Hisoka?

“I don’t need to sleep in a bed, I can sleep sitting up,” Kuroro said.

In response to Kusuo Saiki's question, it was clear that Kusuo Saiki wouldn't give him the room because of the previous mission, so Kuroro could only propose a new deal: "What is your wish now?"

Well, there's no doubt that Kuroro's plan will fail. Even Kuroro himself doesn't have any hope, does he? So coming to me is completely pointless, Kuroro.

Ultimately, how could someone with superpowers have wishes? What can't someone with superpowers solve on their own? There's nothing they can't do...

It's impossible...

"Oh?" Kuroro was also surprised to be agreed to, as he had already planned to find a place to stay in the wild.

Don't feel sorry for them; living in the open and eating outdoors is just a normal part of life for the people of Meteor City.
