The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

Kusuo Saiki decisively let go and hit it again. Perhaps because he had lost his telepathic alert, he didn't realize that his action had already greatly puzzled Hisoka.

The random psychic reading once again captivated him.

The scene is a dark corner of a small room. Illumi is almost pressed against the wall, while Hisoka stands outside, blocking the view. A few rays of light filter in from the window, illuminating Hisoka's face, where an undisguised smile plays on his lips. Hisoka tosses a box the size of a cigarette pack, which Illumi catches deftly and opens. The two bodies draw closer together. Illumi glances at them, but seems unfazed, as if it were commonplace. Hisoka's fingers toy with countless playing cards, then stop, his nimble fingers opening wide.

"It's coming~?"

[Those long-fingered hands moved up and down, brazenly touching his body with Illumi's tacit consent...]

What's going on? What is that? Kusuo Saiki instinctively let go, and the image cut off.

Illumi would let anyone touch him? Impossible! What just happened was…!

Give yourself and your readers 0.3 seconds to think, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3.

Hisoka is using a frivolous illusion to disguise Illumi's clothes, turning them into Hisoka's clothes. Those who think otherwise are being punished by standing in the corner.

When it was time to take another picture, Kusuo Saiki's hand touched Hisoka's palm.

What Kusuo Saiki was supposed to be shooting was Hisoka's right arm. Hisoka had his left hand quietly prepared under his right armpit, and when Kusuo Saiki shot, he raised his arm and placed it against Kusuo Saiki's palm.

Kusuo Saiki: ...

Impossible. He had no telepathy, yet he seemed to see strange heart symbols appearing. It must be his imagination.

The mind reading was also triggered.

"How do we find Chrollo's location? If we don't tell you, I'll be taking a lot of risks, and it could ruin our deal. You don't want that, do you? ~I don't care about Kurapika and Paku's lives." Hisoka was on the phone, and the Hunter x Hunter interface on the other end was Kurapika.

[The conversation on the other end of the phone was inaudible. After hanging up, Hisoka excitedly bit his finger holding the phone: "Hehehe... My precognitive abilities have suddenly increased! Is it Kurta's mysterious power, or some kind of Special Type Devil Fruit? Ah... How wonderful! Where are the Kurta clan hiding? The red-eyed rabbit's den..."]

Kusuo Saiki decisively let go, stepped back, and hid on the other side of Illumi.

Hisoka, now that there were even bigger rewards waiting to be harvested, didn't pursue the matter further and turned to Illumi: "What's your decision, Illumi?"

Kusuo Saiki: What are you considering? Did you make any deals during the divination session?

"We're not considering that. We'd rather take Xiao Qi away first, while the others continue negotiating here. Losing Xiao Qi won't affect the outcome."

"...You should think about whether Killua would be willing..." Hisoka held a playing card in his mouth. Illusion was always very confident in his judgment in this regard?

"Why not? It's been a long time since we had a family gathering, and he's the only one missing." Illumi said matter-of-factly.

Yes, Killua would definitely agree. This is a rare family gathering, how could it be without everyone's beloved Killua?

On the other side, Killua had also sensed a strong sense of crisis because of Illumi's appearance.

Kurapika intended to board the spaceship, but Feitan wouldn't allow it, his way of stopping him making it seem as if he didn't care about Chrollo's life at all.

If the two sides remain deadlocked, they will only wait for the other members of the Phantom Troupe who may have disbanded to arrive and take them all down.

Just as Kurapika decided to take a gamble, Chrollo made his move.

He walked straight to the spaceship. Kurapika immediately noticed the movement of the chains, turned around, and placed a hand chop on Chrollo's neck.

“You will indeed let me go,” Kuroro said calmly.

What does this mean? Is it another provocation? Kurapika pondered coldly. For the Phantom Troupe, waiting was probably the best option. Why was he giving in? What was his purpose?

On the other side, Feitan's gaze was fixed on Chrollo. The distance was too great to tell whether Chrollo was being controlled by the chained hands.

Hisoka quietly prepared the cards in his hand; he couldn't allow the fruits he had worked so hard for to disappear.

Illumi twirled the long needle in his hand. Although he believed Killua could escape, he didn't know if he would risk his life for his friend.

Kusuo Saiki was scrolling through his phone's group message history.

Everyone is thinking, observing, accumulating strength, and checking and balancing each other.

Kuroro opened his mouth and said something.

A gust of wind blew up fallen leaves, which flew past Chrollo's cheek, swirling and carrying his words to Feitan's ears.

Even if only half of the partners remain

Spiders remain firmly established in their position.

Enjoy this intermission.

Going to find new friends is fine too..."

It is the content of the prophetic poem. The only original line that Kuroro changed is "Your superior position remains unshaken."

Chrollo decided to accept the outcome according to the prophecy. He said to Kurapika, "Hiso and the eldest son of the Zoldyck family are almost bound together. It's hard not to suspect that they made a deal. If this continues, I might die and you might die too, but your Nen after death will strengthen the Nen that binds my partner. In comparison, it's okay if I die at your hands."

Chrollo explained to Kurapika to put his suspicions at ease, and that the prophetic poem he initially spoke was meant for Feitan.

Don't let half of your companions be left. The spider is more important. I'll have intermissions, so I'll most likely not die.

Feitan glanced at Hisoirmi, Kusuo Saiki, and the other two beside him.

Kusuo Saiki clicked on the video uploaded by Milluki, which was a compilation of his mother changing clothes. Illumi was watching it, and Hisoka was also curious.

The three biggest variables are all focused on the phone.

Feitan: What are these three things doing here? If they have nothing to do, they should go back.

Feitan was somewhat agitated, but still obeyed Chrollo's final command.

He knew the conditions placed on Pike, Shalnark, and Kuroro, and that Kuroro would also be chained afterward. If he were one of the people waiting at the base, and he found that so many people hadn't returned, especially Kuroro, he would definitely have questions.

The most important task Kuroro gave him was to calmly lead the three of them back.

Finally, Feitan closed his parachute.

Kurapika and the others boarded the ship one after another. Illumi and Hisoka then moved and walked directly towards Kurapika and the others.

Hisoka: "Don't worry~ I just want to fight Chrollo."

"Don't you know that after I put the chains on him, I'll create a bond between him and the spider, and Chrollo will no longer be able to use Nen?" Kurapika said.

Chapter 94 Friends' Knot

"Remove it, or I'll kill you all." Hisoka said unwillingly.

“There is no other way to break the oath except by violating it, and I have not thought about any other options,” Kurapika said.

It doesn't seem like a lie. People who are good at lying can always tell the difference. Hisoka can tell.

The sense of loss was palpable even without telepathy. Hisoka turned around, and the playing cards in his hand, which had been washed countless times, fluttered and scattered in the wind.

Kusuo Saiki, who was slowly following behind, turned around and approached from a different direction to avoid Hisoka.

So that Hisoka won't be looking for someone to fight to relieve his frustration.

All eyes fell on Illumi.

Illumi raised his hand: "I'm here to take Xiaoqi away."

"Dream on! Killua will never go with you!" Gon shouted immediately.

Killua, standing behind, wore a pained expression: "Big brother... Dad already promised me."

“But the whole family ate at Youkexin today, everyone except Xiaoqi was there,” Illumi explained.

"Huh? A family reunion dinner! Killua's going to be there!" Gon surprisingly supported Illumi instantly.

"Huh? Why do I have to go there?!" Killua raised his hand and punched Gon on the head.

"Because it's a family reunion dinner, everyone's here, so Killua should go too, right?" Gon asked, puzzled.

"Who cares..." Killua pouted, but with Illumi standing right next to him, Killua still didn't dare to relax too much.

"And Killua-nii is there too, ah, I mean Kusuo-nii."

Illumi gazed at Gon with a deep look. He was also Killua's older brother. Why was the title "Killua-nii" reserved for Nan?

Killua felt Illumi's gaze and, still afraid that Illumi might do something to Gon, pulled Gon behind him. He looked up, but his eyes darted away, never daring to meet Illumi's eyes directly: "...Big brother, after I go, will I be able to come back?"

“Of course, didn’t Daddy promise you? Even if I wanted to stop it, Daddy would agree.” Illumi raised a finger and then opened his palm towards Killua.

That "of course" tone reassured Killua a lot. Killua glanced at Kusuo Saiki a few more times before jumping off the spaceship.

"I understand, I'll go then, Jay! I'll call you afterwards!"

"Yeah! Killua should have fun too—!"

The spaceship closed its hatch and took off. Killua turned around and saw Gon waving at him from the window.

"Like an idiot..." Killua muttered, putting his hands in his pockets. He turned around, met Illumi's eyes, quickly looked down, and glanced at Kusuo to give him a meaningful look.

I can't understand it, and now there's no voice of opinion, so I can't understand it either.

Kusuo Saiki found these glasses to be excellent, possessing a kind of indifference to the lives of others.

Killua could only ask himself, "Big brother, what's this about the reunion dinner?"

Illumi tapped his phone repeatedly, handing it to Killua.

Killua acquired a high-tech touchscreen phone*1.

"What is this! The screen is so big, is it a mini computer? Where are the buttons?"

"Touchscreen phone, Xiaonan's new invention! You can operate it by tapping the buttons on the screen."

The lesson on how to use a mobile phone was very harmonious. Illumi was very kind to Killua, perhaps because he was often in charge of teaching him, so he felt more like a teacher than a normal older brother.

Kusuo Saiki looked down and saw Killua join the group chat, along with some other messages.

The message came from a knight, but it was Feitan who sent it.

Sniper: I am Feitan, where is Uvogin?

Kusuo Saiki: Uvogin, like the others, was restricted and could not contact or communicate with them.

Knight-errant: I know

Kusuo Saiki: He was petrified. He recovered at 9:42:21 PM tonight. Black bears are pets, don't hurt them.

Swordsman: It wouldn't matter if I killed him.

Kusuo Saiki: [Forwarding a coordinate]

Kusuo Saiki: Your commander raised him, so it's best to bring him meat to eat.

Swordsman: I would believe that?
