The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

"Oh, is that so?"

No, who's afraid of Illumi? Afraid? There's nothing in this world that terrifies me.

“Well, at least ask me how to get to Kukuroku Mountain!” Xiao Jie said.

"You can actually find out about this online. After passing the Hunter Exam, we can log in to the Hunter website for free." Kurapika took out his Hunter License.

Those websites were hacked years ago; I was a level 5 user there.

Kusuo Saiki complained, "I suddenly remembered that once I have the Hunter License, any new account I open will be a new account. Why don't I secretly link the two accounts together?"

You need to log in to your hunter's license account first.

Just as Kurapika was about to take the two to an internet cafe, Kusuo Saiki stood up, and four pairs of eyes turned to look at him.

Kusuo Saiki followed the group into the internet cafe, but instead of sitting in the same row as them, he instinctively looked for a corner.

Then he caught a glimpse of familiar blond hair in the corner.

Chapter 73 Hunter's Internet Cafe

Was that Kuroro I saw at first glance? Oh dear, is he still here? Don't stare at him, these Nen users have such good senses.

They were probably here to test the Hunter License. Kuroro's seat was in the last row by the window. Kusuo Saiki looked around and saw that there weren't many seats available, so he sat down in the front of that row, swiped his Hunter License to turn on his computer, and took out his own laptop as well.

Going back to deal with the monsters would be too much trouble, so let's just resolve it all here in one go.

Was he discovered so easily? Kusuo Saiki ignored it. The light around him was blocked a bit, and a person walked in. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see that the person was dressed entirely in black.

"Hi, I remember your name is Alluka? Would you like a drink?" Chrollo said to Alluka.

"Thank you, big brother, but you're a stranger, Alluka won't drink." Alluka, sitting next to Saiki Kusuo, shook her head in refusal.

How would a stranger know your name? That's the swordsman you fought in the exam hall, Alluka! But refusing someone's drink was the right thing to do. Saiki Kusuo thought to himself, head down. Both account IDs were now locked, and he began operating his computer.

Fortunately, he had undergone finger strength control training, otherwise the fragile keyboard here would definitely have been broken by him.

"Do you want a drink, Saiki?" Kuroro asked.

So, weren't you looking up information in the back? How come...

Kusuo Saiki looked up and found that the person standing next to him was indeed Kuroro.

It was Kuroro with black hair, his hair down and wrapped in bandages, carrying a backpack on one shoulder, looking like a student younger than Kusuo Saiki.

This person is actually two years older than Illumi.

But Kuroro with black hair is here, so who is the person behind him?

"Does the leader know him?" The swordsman looked up, met Saiki Kusuo's gaze, and waved. "Hi!"

The person behind him is a true knight-errant!

That makes sense, since Kuroro took this exam specifically for the heroes, and he came to welcome them right away.

"If the leader knows someone, may I ask? I noticed it just now... were you hacking into the Hunter website's backend?" The swordsman's emerald eyes were very clear, yet he spoke devilish words.

Kusuo Saiki: ...

You know that's fine, but please don't say things like that in the Hunter's Internet Cafe, okay? Everyone's watching!

"No, Saiki already got his Hunter License." Chrollo casually sipped his drink, one hand in his pocket, to help Saiki Kusuo out of the predicament. "Besides, the Hunter website's security is top-notch in the world, how could it... be so easily compromised?"

Some eyes shifted away from them.

Kuroro's gaze was particularly intense as he stood behind Alluka, looking at Saiki Kusuo's computer screen.

Kusuo Saiki: Then why are you staring at it so intently, pretending you understand?

Well, it seems Kuroro hasn't delved too deeply into computer-related matters. Has he left that to Shoji?

The swordsman's attention, however, was entirely focused on the computer screen:

It seems someone is about to learn some strange skill.

Knight: ID, 109824801245, ID...

Hey, don't memorize this kind of thing!

Swordsman: Got it. Keep an eye on what these two IDs are up to later.

"Speaking of which, you two have met before, a few years ago when the Phantom Troupe was about to leave Meteor City."

"So it was him? Pink hair is indeed quite rare. It's been a long time, Saiki-san!" The knight greeted Saiki Kusuo with a bright smile.

This is really unpleasant. I was hoping to resolve this quickly. Could you two please stop staring at my computer? Ugh, what can I do to distract them...?

In another corner of the room, Xiao Jie and the others had finished researching information about Kukuroku Mountain.

"Kurapika, are you going to investigate that too? Ah, it's the Phantom Troupe."

"Hmm, the Hunter website should have a lot of information about spiders I don't know about, and maybe even pictures of them..."

Don't attract attention like that.

Kusuo Saiki looked up and, sure enough, Chrollo and Shalnark were no longer speaking, but were observing Kurapika out of the corner of their eyes.

Kusuo Saiki: The most important thing is that Kurapika will soon see photos of the Phantom Troupe on the website, including Chrollo and Chrollo. He'll notice this place soon, right?

Wait, the battlefield is just around the corner?

Ugh, this is so troublesome! In an instant, Kusuo Saiki closed the laptop, unplugged his and Shoji's hunter's licenses from the computer, and the computer shut down automatically.

He stuffed his laptop into his bag with one hand and grabbed Alluka, while grabbing the wrists of both Chrollo and Kuroro with the other.

The two spiders, suddenly taken away from their surroundings, were clearly tense and in a fighting stance for a moment, but quickly retracted it after arriving at their destination.

"Is this... the ability to teleport? Without any warning..." The swordsman observed his surroundings.

He's always using superpowers, and he's always being studied by this person, really.

Kusuo Saiki returned the hunter's license to the knight:

“Is it good to be so biased towards one person? He will definitely come looking for revenge, and he will definitely die at the hands of any one of us. It’s only a matter of time,” Kuroro said.

Kusuo Saiki teleported to the rooftop of the internet cafe. Downstairs, Kurapika had already seen the Phantom Troupe's photos and successfully recognized the person who had participated in the entire exam as a knight-errant as Spider.

Kurapika is now furious at the thought of spending so much time with his enemy.

Kuroro thought so.

It's best if you don't care. — Kusuo Saiki.

Kuroro thought of something else.

Kusuo Saiki remained silent. This man would definitely go down to get two cans of drinks without batting an eye.

He took out a handful of change from his pocket and exchanged it for the equivalent of the drink below.

"Thank you," Kuroro said naturally, accepting the two cans of drinks and giving one to Shalnark. "Well then, farewell."

Kusuo Saiki waved, and Chrollo led Shalnark off the rooftop, leaping away between the buildings.

Are they Spider-Man?

Kusuo Saiki watched them leave, and only after confirming that Kurapika was safe did he teleport Alluka to the vicinity of the Hunter Exam Grounds.

Faced with Alluka's complete bewilderment, Saiki Kusuo simply said:

Chapter 74 Illumi's Question

The spaceship that came to pick them up was the Zoldyck family's private spaceship. As soon as the door opened, Kusuo Saiki saw Xiao Xiang.

"Young Master Nanxiong! It's been a long time!" Xiao Xiang was also very happy to see Qi Mu Nanxiong.

Hey, hey, can't you be a little more composed at thirty-four?

Yes, Xiao Xiang was a teenager when she first started taking care of Qi Mu Nanxiong.

Once aboard the spaceship, Kusuo Saiki handed Alluka over to Xiang Xiao and lay down on the top-of-the-line recliner, thinking he could finally rest. But then Illumi appeared next to him.

“Xiao Nan, I’ve noticed that we haven’t talked in a long time,” Illumi said.

...Illumi's brother's love is equal.

After educating his two children, he felt that Nanxiong was indispensable.

Kusuo Saiki hadn't even had a chance to get comfortable in the recliner before he regretfully sat down.

"Come to the front warehouse." Illumi left first.

Is there anything that Alluka and Xiaoxiang can't hear? It must be something you want to ask Alluka.

Ugh, this is such a hassle.

Kusuo Saiki followed him into the front warehouse.

The front cabin is separate from the cockpit. The Zoldyck family is always involved in some confidential matters, so the soundproofing is top-notch, meaning that this conversation will not be known to anyone.

"Xiao Nan, who was that guy called 'Swordsman' during the Hunter Exam?"

Kusuo Saiki: Hisoka, thank you.

"Oh, is that so? You also gave him a 30% discount card?"

"The 30% discount card should be given to our valued guests. Do you know they are members of the Phantom Troupe?"

Here, knowing that it would be considered as not avoiding danger is something Saiki Kusuo thought:

Is it fun to get along with them?

Almost everything was a transaction. Saiki Kusuo recalled the entire exam process and affirmed.

“I thought my younger brothers were all looking to make friends, and as their older brother, I was quite worried,” Illumi patted Saiki Kusuo’s shoulder, his lifeless pupils staring into Saiki Kusuo’s eyes: “Although you’re already eighteen, there are some things you can’t decide on your own…”

...Yale yaale.

Kusuo Saiki knew from his heart that he still had many problems to face.

"Why do you show extra favoritism towards Alluka? Is there a wish behind it?" Illumi asked.

Knowing that the day he leaves might be less than two years away, Kusuo Saiki didn't hide anything:

"What wish do you have? Is it related to your strength?"
