The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

Like a savior descending, Illumi appeared out of nowhere, his body already suspended in mid-air, his long hair flowing behind him like the outstretched wings of a demon.

Everything happened too fast and too dangerous.

Illumi practically flew to protect his brothers, unleashing a speed he had never possessed before, the instant he realized his brothers might be attacked.

He's calm now, but not calm either.

As a qualified Zoldyck assassin, for the first time in his life, he wanted to kill someone for personal reasons. Not for a mission, for a reward, for any training objective, but...

Kusuo Saiki, listening from behind, covered his face: No, I won't get hurt at all, calm down...

At fifteen, Illumi was already an extremely skilled and ruthless killer. Upon landing, he broke the attacker's limbs and pierced his body with several Nen needles, leaving the man lying on the ground with his body twisted in an unusual way.

The methods were cruel; Kusuo Saiki covered Nanika's eyes at his feet.

"Oh right, I forgot to praise Xiaonan." With the crisis resolved and Illumi regaining his composure, he became happy. His younger brothers were all safe and sound. Xiaonan had protected them and was a good older brother. As the eldest brother, he should praise him properly.

"Well done, Xiaonan, you're a good older brother now."

[Unfortunately, the non-toxic cake I specially bought was left at the door, and my parents will find it later. I probably won't be able to eat it tonight.] Illumi's inner thoughts.

What benefits have been lost?

First, protect the cake! A mere flying knife won't even scratch me!

"You... wait..." The creature, twisted beyond recognition, uttered a dark voice from the ground. Kusuo Saiki heard more of the curses in the creature's heart and its murderous intent towards the Zoldyck family.

Although Illumi's methods were cruel, the other party was also there to kill him. Saiki Kusuo didn't feel much sympathy. Instead, he remembered that there were two people on the other side. Wait, where did the other person who opened the door go?

Kusuo Saiki glanced around. Oh, his accomplice had already circled around to the right-hand door. Just as Kusuo was about to warn Illumi, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

The strong, double-door father, Silva, thought to himself, "The person behind him is no longer a concern."

Just as Saiki Kusuo was distracted, Illumi, who was protecting them, once again grabbed the man by the throat.

The door at the back opened at that moment. Silva saw that Illumi had already dealt with the remaining enemies, and showed no expression. The Zoldyck family didn't have much defense against external enemies, because generally speaking, each child would have enough self-defense ability after the age of four. They should be able to protect themselves using the familiar terrain of their home, but they never expected to encounter a spatial Nen user combination when the children were only two or three years old.

"Take the children to the basement and look after them personally. All the housekeepers should conduct a thorough search of Kukuro Mountain. Don't let a single fly involved in this get away!"

"Yes!" Ziponian thought to himself.

Based on the information provided by Zipanian, Kusuo Saiki listened to the voice and realized it came from a servant whose parents had been kidnapped. Wow, you can never completely trust people's hearts. Even with the Zoldyck family, such a large group of stewards, there could be a traitor. But Zipanian's ability to pinpoint the correct answer so quickly is quite impressive.

The butler left, and Illumi stepped on the man's head. He had murderous intent in his heart, but he restrained himself and did not kill his brother in front of him.

Kusuo Saiki: Dear older brother.

"Xiao Xiang, take this person in for interrogation. I'll search the place too," Illumi said decisively. "It's time for the younger brothers to broaden their horizons at this age. Let them observe the interrogation."

Kusuo Saiki: I take back what I just said. This person is a ruthless assassin boss.

Xiao Xiang lowered her head and waited quietly to the side. She dared not say a word, while Qi Mu Nanxiong noticed that the wound on Xiao Xiang's arm was still dripping blood.

Is everything alright? Actually, there really aren't any people lying in ambush on the mountain anymore.

“No, Illumi, leave the rest to us,” Silva said calmly, stopping Illumi. “You are my child too. Go to the basement and keep your brothers company.”

Illumi clearly didn't want to admit that he was still a cub that needed protection.

But he really appreciated the phrase "accompanying his younger brothers".

Illumi jumped over and scooped up Killua, picked up Alluka, and then helped Milluki, who was still clinging tightly to Saiki Kusuo's collar, to stand up straight so that he could hold on even more firmly.

Hey, why don't you take it down for me?

Illumi patted Kusuo on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

[As a reward for what we just did, you can have it.]

Who would consider this a reward, you brother-obsessed maniac?

Kusuo Saiki complains, only to find that Illumi is waiting for him.

Why? Usually, he walks first, and I just follow behind.

Hearing the voice, he immediately understood that it was because of the recent incident that Illumi no longer felt comfortable leaving him behind.

[Xiao Nan has been in poor health since childhood, and four-year-old Killua is probably even stronger than him. Shouldn't we teach him how to protect himself? He's always focused on his studies, and we've definitely neglected some aspects.]

At the age of fifteen, Illumi had already begun to care about the issue of family education.

While Kusuo Saiki made a sarcastic remark, he wasn't particularly shocked anymore. After all, he had an even more outrageous and precocious older brother, so he was somewhat immune to it.

Chapter 8 Nanica's Wish

It wasn't as cold and gloomy as I had imagined; in fact, it was even warmer than the main house.

The walls weren't made of stone, but rather cement painted white. They passed through heavy doors, like those used for depositing cash in a bank, and went through layers of combination locks before finally entering the room.

Kusuo Saiki looked around. After all, this was a shelter, with a simple structure and a small space of about thirty square meters.

There isn't much, but there isn't nothing either.

As soon as Killua landed inside the house, he ran to the small refrigerator in the corner. Only after the door closed did the other children dare to move around.

Silva had originally intended to come in, but seemed to have thought of something and went out. Before leaving, Saiki Kusuo felt as if an invisible, spherical force was enveloping the area. It must be his grandfather who had come and used the advanced Nen technique "En".

"Brother, smile!"

Upon landing, Alluka made another request. Saiki Kusuo knew about Alluka's abilities, not from the manga, but from the triplets' inner thoughts; a third attempt would be disastrous.

But asking someone to smile is asking too much. Are you asking someone who can't feel happiness to smile?

Alluka seemed to realize that her brother didn't want to laugh, so she tilted her head and said, "Brother, lift me up high!"

Why are you targeting me?

Kusuo Saiki looked away, perhaps because he had been staring at him? Kusuo Saiki decided to move further away.

"What's wrong, Nana?" Illumi noticed the two requests. "Why aren't you granting Alluka's request?"

Illumi narrowed his eyes, his young age already exuding the authority of an eldest son, which made Kusuo Saiki feel uneasy.

"Could it be that you..."

Oh no! Will they be misunderstood? Because Alluka, Killua, and Milluki are triplets, but only Killua has white hair, the family cares a lot about ensuring that all the children are treated equally.

"Are you afraid that you won't hold Alluka properly and he'll fall?"

Kusuo Saiki remained expressionless for a long time before nodding.

"It's alright, I'll be watching over you. Even if you accidentally drop Alluka, I'll catch it," Illumi said gently, though his expression didn't seem to change much.

"..." Do you have any obsession with hugging?

Kusuo Saiki fell silent. What should he do in this situation? Should he immediately develop a fever and refuse to hold the child, or should he take a step and break a bone? He could think of countless methods in an instant, but there weren't many feasible methods that would make him seem like a normal person.

Did you only... hug?

Alluka saw hope, her eyes sparkling as she reached up, her chubby limbs forming the letter "X": "Hug, hug!"

Kusuo Saiki suddenly realized that although he had an older brother, he had never had any experience interacting with his younger brother, nor had he ever paid attention to the way adults hold children.

The problem is truly dire. Suddenly, he's been forced to pick up a fragile, three-year-old child—a superhuman whose very touch could be dangerous…

How could anyone possibly know the safest and correct way to hold someone?!

After holding out his hand for a while, with Alluka looking on expectantly and Illumi watching, Kusuo Saiki took a step back.

Illumi: ...

"Saiki Kusuo said. Before his recovery ability returns, no, even if his recovery ability returns, he doesn't have a superpower suppressor. If he recovers for seven years at once, Alluka will disappear."

As Kusuo Saiki was thinking, suddenly, he felt a light, weighty sensation in his hand.

It was more like on his arm than in his hand; little Alluka was being carried by Illumi onto Saiki Kusuo's arm.

"Alright, come on, lift me up high!" Illumi said.

If you raise your hand without adjusting it first, Alluka will definitely fall!

But adjusting... is much harder than picking someone up, okay?! A slight misstep and they'll be reduced to ashes—who knows?

Kusuo Saiki carefully opened his palm, as if handling a blade of grass or a fragile withered leaf, and time seemed to slow down a thousand times, everything proceeding stiffly and extremely slowly.

Finally, he placed his palm under Alluka's armpit.

Just lift it up little by little...

As Kusuo Saiki lifted Alluka up, Alluka's face changed imperceptibly.

No one realized this at first, until Nanika spoke up.

"elder brother."

The same voice, but this time filled with an eerie quality. Saiki Kusuo looked up and saw the child.

Oh, Nanica. Although I'd heard about it telepathically, this was our first time meeting.

"Xiao Nan, quickly put Alluka down!" Illumi immediately went into battle mode, protecting Killua and Milluki behind him.

Why is someone reacting so strongly? Ah, it turns out there are people here who don't know Nanika.

Alluka possessed Nanika, Killua knew that, Milluki who lived with them also knew that, and Kusuo Saiki, who had telepathic abilities and knew everything about heaven and earth, also knew that.

Only Illumi was kept in the dark.

"Kimo, just make a wish. Any wish can come true!" Killua peeked out from behind Illumi and spoke to Kusuo Saiki.

Why does this little kid call me Brother Nan? Shouldn't he be Brother Nanxiong?

Nanika reached out to Kusuo, but... she was in a dilemma.

Kusuo Saiki is facing an unprecedented problem.

What wishes can he make?

As we all know, wishes are the product of desires. Saiki Kusuo, who is all-knowing and possesses countless superpowers, has almost no wishes. He can do anything, so he has no interest in anything. The only thing he needs to solve right now is going home, but he doesn't think Nanika can do it.

Killua's inner thoughts.

If he can't make a wish, can't he just copy it? Following Killua's train of thought, Kusuo Saiki found the wish:

“Okay.” Suddenly, a certain power erupted from Nanika’s body. Saiki Kusuo could see that it was an energy body that was completely different from Nen ability.

Soon, a cake appeared above their heads.
