The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

"Hey, hey, what are you asking? I already said I surrender. Let's finish the exam quickly." - Kusuo Saiki.

However, Alluka shook her head vehemently: "I did not surrender, I did not surrender!"

Oh no, Alluka has realized it, and her behavior is beyond control.

"Chairman Netero, he did just say he was surrendering, doesn't that count?" Kuroro asked.

"Hehehe, surrender must be a willing surrender. It seems that he didn't say those two words voluntarily, so it doesn't count." Chairman Netero stroked his beard. "Examinees, we did not stop you from cheering. You can shout encouragement from the sidelines. However, interfering with the exam may result in disqualification. Please mind your own business."

It was as if he'd been called out. Kusuo Saiki looked away.

However, the matter is not over yet.

If Illumi is disqualified, the competition continues, and Illumi raises the Nen needle once again.

Finally, Kusuo Saiki spoke.

If this results in Chrollo's body being split in two, or him losing an arm or a leg, even though Alluka says he won't die, it would still be very dangerous.

This would not only expose his abilities, but if Kuroro were to encounter any problems, it would also affect the development of the Yorknew City storyline, causing a significant change to the entire Hunter x Hunter story.

Kusuo Saiki couldn't imagine it getting out of control. For example, it was questionable that the leader of the Phantom Troupe could die during the Hunter Exam. Would the Spiders collectively attack the Hunter Association because of this?

So Kusuo Saiki did speak up, and besides, there were already two people who had made the decision for him: Killua and Illumi, both of whom were in the opposition. He could naturally make the same choice as his family.

Chapter 70 Hunter Exam: Final Exam 6

After hearing Saiki Kusuo's voice, Alluka did not speak, but after a short silence, he lowered his head and a tear fell to the floor.

Kusuo Saiki is his older brother who dotes on him the most.

Killua is his favorite older brother.

He also had to listen to his older brother.

Everyone forbade him to fight, forbade him to make even the slightest effort or take even a single step like Gon!

Three brothers, their eyes stung by tears, suddenly appeared on the scene.

Observing Alluka, Kusuo Saiki was the first to notice something amiss.

He could distinguish between Alluka and Nanika, and when the tears fell, he was probably right; it was Nanika who was crying now, but Alluka was the one carrying out the order.

A moment when two people use each other's bodies? This is the first time they've been intertwined.

"Hero, brother hero..." After a long while, Alluka finally spoke.

Illumi stopped holding back and threw the needles in his hand directly into the arena!

Three needles flew out so quickly that the referee couldn't stop them in time. Kuroro quickly took two steps away from the direction where he might be hit by the needles, while Netero and the others, although they knew, did not stop them.

Illumi's needles, which were always incredibly precise, did not land on Alluka.

Kusuo Saiki appeared beside Alluka, grabbing the needles with one hand and placing the other on Alluka's head.

Because it uses teleportation.

"Kuanxiong-nii?!" Killua exclaimed.

"This candidate, do you know what you're doing? You will lose your eligibility to obtain a hunter's license!" The referee only realized this belatedly amidst the crowd's astonishment.

Kusuo Saiki sighed. He had been trying to communicate with Alluka since the beginning, but Alluka wouldn't listen.

I've said my heart's desires countless times, but they won't listen to a word. Since they won't listen, I have no choice but to come in.

Kusuo Saiki bowed to the chairman and others, then placed his hand on Alluka's shoulder and knelt down on one knee toward Alluka.

The one crying is Nanica; he can tell the difference, so he uses the term "sister."

The tears belong to Nanika, the fear belongs to Nanika, and the courage belongs to Alluka. Nanika is afraid—afraid of being exposed, afraid of being scolded by her brothers and parents, and afraid of Killua's dislike.

Alluka, for some reason, can't hear his own thoughts anymore; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to come in and remind him.

Are you blinded by sadness?

Kusuo Saiki gently took Alluka's hand, so gently that Alluka wiped her eyes herself, and tears fell into her hand. Alluka seemed to wake up at this moment, her eyes focused, and she saw Kusuo Saiki in front of her. Tears welled up in her watery eyes once again.

Is she still losing control of her emotions? Knowing that Alluka probably still couldn't hear his own thoughts, Kusuo Saiki could only speak to remind him, "Alluka, she's scared."

Alluka froze, sobbing, and looked at Saiki Kusuo in surprise.

The woman Saiki Kusuo was referring to was Nanika; only Alluka herself could truly understand Nanika's situation by experiencing it firsthand.

Alluka, as one with Nanika, you cannot only think of what you want. Nanika is afraid, she is crying.

Although saying this might seem like a violation of Alluka's freedom, but...

"The way to be brave shouldn't be..."

"Brother Nanxiong!!"

Suddenly, Alluka hugged Kusuo Saiki around the waist. Alluka threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face, all of them falling onto Kusuo Saiki: "Alluka, Alluka wants to do it too, doesn't want to be a burden, anything, nothing, waaaah, can't do it, waaaah! Waaaaah!"

Kusuo Saiki didn't mind getting dirty. He put his arms around Alluka. The 12-year-old child was already quite big, and he couldn't lift her up to adjust his holding position gently. He could only squat down a little more, almost kneeling down, so that Alluka could bury herself in his shoulder before he could lift her up.

Alluka was crying so hard she could barely breathe. The child's high-pitched voice was right next to Kusuo Saiki's ear. Kusuo Saiki didn't find it annoying at all. He put his arm around Alluka's back. He couldn't pat her back to help her breathe, so he could only put his arm around her.

President Netero:

Kusuo Saiki: You don't need to open your mouth when talking to other people.

Kuroro on the field:

Kusuo Saiki: Shut up.

As for the result...

"No, the contestant must surrender himself," the referee said firmly.

Alluka was crying so hard she could barely speak, so it would be too much to ask her to say she was surrendering.

Kusuo Saiki is caught in a dilemma.

"Ugh! Ugh, ugh!" A tug came from his shoulder, and Saiki Kusuo looked down to see that Alluka's inner thoughts were already about surrendering.

Kusuo Saiki looked directly upwards.

"Hmm... I guess that's fine," Chairman Netero said.

“President! What if this child’s answer is manipulated… nodding or shaking his head or something…” Menchi said from the side.

"There's nothing we can do. The child is crying so much that he can't even speak properly," said Chairman Netero.

Kusuo Saiki lowered his head: "Alluka, do you want to surrender now? Nod if you do, shake your head if you don't."

Alluka nodded, wiping away her tears.

“Examinee Alluka, are you being controlled by someone?” Chairman Netero asked.

Alluka grabbed Saiki Kusuo's arm and shook her head violently.

"Are you sure you want to surrender?" Chairman Netero asked again.

Alluka sniffled, opening her eyes several times but still couldn't see the person in front of her clearly.

"Ugh! Yes!" He nodded fiercely. Nanika was crying so hard. He had made Nanika so sad. He had done something wrong! The competition, the hunter's license—nothing was more important than Nanika!

He needs to apologize to Nanika for being so stupid!

Kusuo Saiki patted Alluka's head and said softly, "Yare yare, it's okay."

This is a sentiment expressed only to Alluka.

After the match, Chrollo emerged victorious, and Kusuo Saiki picked up Alluka and took her aside to rest.

Chapter 71 The Hunter Exam: The Final Exam

The exams continued, and Pokkuru defeated the injured Baudelaire. In the match between Alluka and Killua, Alluka was defeated by Killua as soon as she entered the arena. After that, it was Killua's turn to fight against Shutaraku.

Jitara removed the Nen nails from his face, restoring Illumi's original appearance, and said to Killua.

"Xiao Qi, it seems you haven't noticed this all along..."

Everything proceeded as planned. Killua escaped Illumi's Nen pressure, killed the final boss, Baudelaire, and left the arena.

The examiners then began to discuss the matter.

Throughout the entire time, Kusuo Saiki simply sat in a corner with Alluka. Kurapika and Leorio passed by Kusuo Saiki several times, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Kusuo Saiki knew they had questions.

Why doesn't this older brother, who loves his younger brother so much, help Killua?

Soon after, the examiners called those who had passed into another room. Alluka was already asleep in Saiki Kusuo's arms. Saiki Kusuo felt that he was going to be eliminated based on the exam results.

"Let me carry Alluka inside," Illumi said, reaching out his hand.

The eldest brother always kept a close eye on his younger brothers and paid close attention to any minor difficulties they encountered.

Okay, that's troublesome. But could you please remove the Nen dart from your clothes beforehand? Just remove it and put it away, please don't remove it from Zayaruka's mind.

“Kusuo Saiki Zoldyck, come in too. We have a new decision regarding you.” Netero’s voice came from inside the room.

Kusuo Saiki then heard the thought, somewhat surprised. "You've barged into the area and you're letting me through? Is that alright?"

The new room was like a lecture hall in a school. Everyone sat in rows, and the examiners first announced the verdict against Kusuo Shiki.

"After discussion by the examiners, it was unanimously agreed that Kusuo Saiki's entry into the arena was out of love for his younger brother. He was not fighting for victory for Alluka, but for surrender. His only goal was to protect Alluka. As a knight-errant on the other side of the competition, he suffered no loss. Therefore, Kusuo Saiki's qualification to obtain the Hunter's License is retained." Netero stroked his beard as he read from his prepared statement.

Kusuo Saiki: Very good, the 100 million disappeared, and the 100 million has returned.

That was all he felt about the hunter's license.

"President Netero, we also have objections to the exam results." Kurapika raised his hand and stood up.

What they're trying to say is that they suspect Killua's act of killing Baudro at the end was controlled by his older brother.

Kusuo Saiki remained silent, sitting calmly next to Illumi and holding Alluka.

The others remained silent, and the chairman was also thinking. Just then, the door behind them was suddenly flung open.

Even without turning around, Kusuo Saiki knew it was Gon.

With one hand bandaged, Gon stormed up to Illumi's seat, seething with anger.
