The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

“Hmm…” Illumi made a thinking gesture with his hand, his nasal hum carrying a hint of doubt. He didn’t ask what it was about, “But Xiaonan isn’t the kind of person who would let someone else bear the consequences, right? What should we do? No matter how good we are to Alluka beforehand, the price she demands after making a wish won’t be low.”

Kusuo Saiki remained silent. This was something he had never been able to figure out how to resolve. If possible, he hoped that after transmigrating, he could use his superpowers to travel back and forth between the two worlds once, thus fulfilling Alluka's condition.

Although there is a restriction that the same person cannot make two wishes, which means that the same person cannot face the next request after making a wish, Killua can make a wish unconditionally. Killua can make a wish once in the middle in the form of a command, and then he can fulfill the request.

Although we haven't tested whether it works or not, Alluka's abilities are not something that people can easily test too much.

Illumi was pleased with Saiki Kusuo's deep thoughts. Saiki Kusuo's soft heart was his weakness, but he could use it to his advantage here.

Alluka's abilities are quite dangerous, and the family doesn't want the children to make wishes to Alluka: "You know that, Nana. You're not stupid. Any decision should be made after careful consideration to ensure it won't affect the family. If you come up with a solution that I approve of, I will support you."

"Sticks and candy," Illumi immediately encouraged, as he wouldn't completely oppose his brother's wishes, at least not for Kusuo.

"What abilities do you possess now? You told your family about teleportation and item swapping before, what about other abilities?" Illumi asked again.

So you'll ask this question after all? Well, brother, I have countless abilities.

By the way, Chrollo has misunderstood before... so why not let Illumi misunderstand too? Hisoka has already told him about what happened at the Little World Tree.

Kusuo Saiki revealed his wristband, which Illumi had already noticed. After the black cloth disappeared, the wristband continued to emit a faint light, clearly indicating that it was not an ordinary item.

Kusuo Saiki took out a book from his bag to demonstrate.

The booklet was replaced many times by Kusuo Saiki, and the book grew thicker at a visible rate.

Saiki Kusuo stopped when he was almost done. Continuing to demonstrate would make it more difficult for Xiao Xiang to organize the bookshelf.

“So that’s how it is.” Illumi stared at Saiki Kusuo demonstrating his ability.

Nen users usually learn two or three abilities and practice them to the extreme, so they don't have too many skills. Kusuo Saiki hasn't lied to Illumi yet, so Illumi didn't ask any further questions.

Illumi suddenly covered his mouth:

Il-mini, wake up!

Kusuo Saiki reminds you:

Illumi covered his mouth with his hand and stuck out his tongue slightly: "That makes sense. As an assassin, it's better to make money through legitimate means."

"And your strength? You were able to catch my magic needles with your bare hands. Xiao Nan has become much stronger, hasn't she?"

“Then, open the door when you get home,” Illumi said.

Kusuo Saiki: ...

What if my hand shakes and I turn it all on? That shouldn't be the case. So how much should I turn on? Would it be embarrassing to turn on two tons of Illumi's Nen needles?

"One last question, Xiaonan." Illumi stood up, walked to the window, the spaceship was moving very fast, and the shadow of Kukuroku Mountain could already be seen in the distance.

What are your life goals?

It seemed to be the last question asked casually to wrap things up, but it was the only question that Kusuo Saiki couldn't answer.

Chapter 75 Back to Zoldyck

His wish to go home, which he made to Alluka, was not exactly a life goal.

As for his previous desire to remain ordinary, it was because he hoped to maintain an average standard among his peers, while life goals were something high-level that people had to strive for.

It's impossible for Kusuo Saiki to follow Illumi's lead and say that he would prioritize his family for the rest of his life and do whatever he wants for them.

The reason I've studied science and computers all this time is to demonstrate my value at home, but at the same time, I can't be outstanding in any way. It's a choice I had to make to avoid killing people. Occasionally, when I create something, it feels as fun as beating a game, but it's definitely not something I'm interested in.

Life goals—such a profound topic—but for a superhuman who can do anything, such a thing simply doesn't exist.

The most important thing when talking to Illumi is not to lie, as Illumi, who is trained and spends a lot of time with, can see through it.

The answer... was, as expected, none. Surprising, isn't it? Superpowered individuals seem more like aimless wanderers.

Saiki Kusuo said.

Illumi remained silent.

It's harder to deal with people who don't have goals, but Xiaonan is family, his younger brother.

He will find a suitable target for Xiaonan.

Kusuo Saiki: No, I don't need it, really.

"By the way, Xiaonan, you spoke when you saved Alluka, you know?"

Kusuo Saiki was puzzled. What did he mean by that? Of course, he was the one who said it.

"Xiao Nan has never spoken since birth, but we can hear her voice. We thought she couldn't talk. That was the first time I heard her speak, Big Brother. Do you know you can talk?"

Is this really being treated as a problem child? Would an ordinary family treat this issue so casually?! A baby in the family was born with the ability to make sounds, and the whole family didn't react at all! Is this family's tolerance for this too high?

"The task information manager will call you after that."

"Why not speak if you can? Voice is more convenient. You can ask questions, and it makes the mission easier. With text messages, the butler can only send you the most basic text messages." Illumi's eyes widened slightly, looking puzzled.

As he spoke, Illumi had already walked up to Kusuo Saiki. He pointed two fingers at Kusuo Saiki's forehead. "Just kidding, Kusuo. But the fact that the phone can see pictures and more complete information, as you said, will be a great help to us."

Kusuo Saiki stared at Illumi's finger pointing at his forehead. This was not an unnecessary gesture; he could feel that the tiny needles that had been inserted into his brain years ago had been removed.

What happened? Why is one of my weakening debuffs missing?

"Is it time to change the needles, Illumi?" No, I heard from my inner voice that there were no new needles.

Kusuo Saiki was surprised that Illumi had no intention of giving him another injection.

“You’ve probably known about this all these years, right? Now that you’re an adult and have the ability to avoid danger, you don’t need it anymore,” Illumi said.

So... she wasn't the kind of person who would prick each of her younger brothers with needles, the kind with an insatiable desire to control them her whole life?

"Knock knock." A knock on the door.

The two stopped talking.

The spaceship was already descending and was about to reach Kukuroo Mountain. Xiao Xiang had come to remind them.

The spaceship landed directly at the landing pad near the gate, and the group arrived at their doorstep not far after disembarking.

Yay! I'm finally home.

Oh, is that so?

The Zoldyck family's main gate is a heavy, unlocked gate with seven layers, on the left and right. The first layer weighs 2 tons, and the weight doubles with each additional layer. Pushing open one of the seven layers requires 128 tons of force, and both sides require 256 tons.

Kusuo Saiki only remembered that Killua's arms had a combined strength of 12 tons.

I can't be lower than Killua, right? Killua's talent is higher, but I'm already eighteen years old, six years ahead of Killua, and I can still use the Nen skill!

So, is it safer to open both doors?

Xiao Xiang was very worried behind her, but dared not say anything.

Behind the door was my mother, wearing Zoldyck surveillance glasses.

No, how can my frail health, which I've kept hidden for so many years, be exposed like this? Let's just open one door, half of it. It doesn't matter if I'm looked down upon, does it?

Kusuo Saiki reached out and pressed his hand against the door. Behind the door, his mother covered her mouth with a folding fan and waited with Kurt.

The door creaked open halfway, and Kusuo Saiki controlled his strength to push it further.

"Ha!" The small voice was very cute. Saiki Kusuo looked down and realized that Alluka had run up to his side without him noticing and was also supporting the doors on both sides.

It doesn't matter whether you push or not with your limited strength.

Forget it, Alluka's power is practically zero. As long as he's happy, that's fine. I just need to pretend Alluka doesn't exist, and slowly...

As the door was slowly pushed open a crack, Alluka saw her mother inside.

No matter how hard Alluka tried, she couldn't help much; even her posture was wrong. Oops.

But don't you want your mother to look down on you?

The door that Saiki Kusuo had pushed open remained stuck in the position of being fully open for a long time, and Alluka gritted her teeth but couldn't move an inch further.

If this can be considered Alluka's wish.

Kusuo Saiki slowly changed the direction of his force; to push open the door behind him, he had to apply more force to the side.

The second door slowly opened as well.

Illumi commented later.

The second door is fully open, weighing a total of 8 tons.

"Hehehe... Welcome home, children." The mother was very happy that her two children could show their strength. In their hearts, Saiki Kusuo was someone who could already use Nen. Even though he was weak before, it was not surprising that he could use Nen to push open a door with a certain weight.

It looks alright.

Kusuo Saiki breathed a sigh of relief.

He has almost six months to spend at home, so he should use this time to create a smart touchscreen phone with a large screen. This research is quite difficult for him, and it would be best to have an assistant...

As Saiki Kusuo pondered, his gaze fell upon Milluki, who had come to greet him.

Chapter 76 Making a Smartphone

Yay, yay, it's a secret.

However, before Kusuo Saiki could officially capture Milluki and bring him to the lab, his grandfather appeared.

"Alluka, come with us," Grandpa said.

Alluka looked up at Kusuo-san, but her view was blocked by Illumi.

“Xiao Nan has other things to do. Alluka, you go with Grandpa by yourself,” Illumi said.

There's something wrong with the fact that they're specifically keeping an eye on Saiki Kusuo.

But nothing can be hidden from Kusuo Saiki.

...Yale yaale.

Grandfather Jag, who has always stayed underground, that should be fine.

Kusuo Saiki calmly waved to Alluka and turned around.

"Huh? Can't we just call a few butlers to help out? Brother Nanxiong, figure it out yourself, I can't keep up!"

“Be more confident, Milluki. Since Konan specifically asked you to do this, it means—Milluki, you can help. Konan rarely asks for favors. Don’t you think this could bring you a lot of good wishes?” Illumi seized the opportunity.
