The current Kusuo Saiki is using an ordinary person's body and his soul is possessed by another body; he is weakling from head to toe.

Oh dear, the gist is that there will be a price to pay.

The boat rocked, swaying back and forth.

The so-called "general idea" seems to refer to someone himself.

Side Story: Swimming Competition Continued (Part 2)

[“A large number of drowning incidents have occurred on the coast, the swimming competition at the Sky Arena has not yet been suspended, and many witnesses claim that the sea was split in two, and people believed that the sea god was about to appear, and at this moment, they are worshipping the sea god…”]

Kusuo Saiki sat up and found himself on a stretcher.

The surrounding environment was very noisy, and it took him two seconds to understand the situation.

I see. The match is over.

"Oh, Xiaonan, you're awake." Illumi was the first to greet him.

Kusuo Saiki greeted him.

"Are you alright? Do you remember how you fainted? I found you in the locker room," Illumi asked considerately.

Illumi, it was because his soul left his body and he fainted in the men's locker room. Don't speculate any further.

"It's probably better for Xiaonan to stay home more often; she's more suited to being a caged bird."

Even after hearing just the first sentence, I thought it was a good suggestion.

Kusuo Saiki recalls exactly how he fainted.

Just then, some awards ceremonies began, and Illumi casually placed the black coat on Saiki Kusuo.

"Xiao Nan, help me with this. This is an important outfit worth 30 billion, a key item for claiming the post-match rewards. Don't lose it."

Illumi turned around and changed his clothes.

It would be terrible if the Phantom Troupe found Chrollo's coat at this moment.

Illumi turned around in confusion, only to find a completely different expression on his face.

"Exactly ten people, no more, no less... What's wrong?"

A cream jelly maker is completely hopeless, isn't it?

"There was nothing we could do. A tsunami suddenly appeared on the sea, and too many contestants were eliminated in an instant. Those who survived were all elite Nen users, like me and the Phantom Troupe."

That was incredibly unlucky! Damn it, why didn't I stop it? I remember losing consciousness shortly after boarding that speedboat. Do the Phantom Troupe have some kind of invincible technique? They managed to knock me unconscious too…

"Yeah, I was startled too. For a moment, the sea was split in two, which is almost indescribable as a natural phenomenon. Hisoka was excited and said that the person who caused it should be on the coast. You really don't remember anything about it?"

"Well, that's all in the past. I'll go collect my prize first, and we'll continue later. I wonder what the extra gift will be. If you like it, I'll give it to you as a participation prize. How about it? You've come all this way, so don't leave empty-handed."

What extra gifts...?

Kusuo Saiki's eyes widened.

Illumi... what wonderful news you have brought!

Kusuo Saiki followed closely behind.

"Won't you rest a bit more?"

Kusuo Saiki remained steadfast, wearing a coat.

Illumi's eyes flashed, and he turned to lead the way.

They came out late; there were only about ten people on the podium, and the first-place winner was already on stage.

The man strode forward with firm steps, his back bent, his hands hanging down, one step, two steps, until he reached the first position and stood still.

"Congratulations to our first contestant, the biggest dark horse—Peeling Ripper!!"

Peeling off the husband!?

Kusuo Saiki was shocked; this person who had always been invisible was actually in first place.

"Mr. Peeling Rift, do you have any acceptance speech?"

Peeling Ripper was quite polite. He bowed and handed the microphone to Peeling Ripper with both hands: "First of all, I want to thank the leader of our club. He gave me advice on how to perform in this competition."

Just a club? Is the Phantom Troupe just a club?

"Secondly, I want to thank our community's strategist, who found me and brought me into this world. Finally, I want to thank my people. I am an orphan of the Jutondu tribe. We Jutondu are a warrior people, dancing warriors. Our dance can be used in any aspect of life. In this winter swimming competition, the holes in my body acted like dams, creating a flow. In the water, I was like a seaweed, blending into the water, blending into nature, and moving forward with the flow, just like our people..."

"It's rare to see Peeling Ripper talk so much."

"Is this the draft the commander prepared for him?"

"No, I'm just giving him a suggestion: express your gratitude in a structure like first, second, and last... Shh, we should listen carefully to our companion's heartfelt words."

"Yes, Commander."

"No problem, Commander."

"Are you really not wearing any clothes, Commander?"

"...I thought the 30 billion exchange would happen before the prize was claimed. Are there any clothes included?"

"Would you like a women's version?"

"I will listen to the heartfelt words of the peeling man."

"I've taken the commander!"

"Thank you, reliable strategist."

Second place, Kuroro Lucilfer, was dressed in a white shirt and straight-leg black trousers, looking as relaxed as if he had just come out of the library. When the microphone was given to him, he simply said, "I admire the first place, Peeling Ripper."

He then shook hands sincerely with the strange man, Peeling Rift, covered in bandages, to the astonishment of the crowd, attracting a flurry of photos from the media.

"Third place, contestant number 6, Aston, random character, don't mind, just randomly chosen, Na Mai Ai Li!"

Who is this? Someone I don't recognize has appeared, and their name is so long!

The third-place player walked with a steady gait, wearing a green short-sleeved shirt with a cinched waist, somewhat similar to Hisoka's outfit.

You probably guessed it already.

The fourth-place finisher then walked onto the stage. Hisoka stood on the stage with one hand on his hip and the other playing cards, his eyes fixed on Chrollo.

"I think the second-place prize is very appealing, and so is the third-place prize. My original plan was to take down the second-place prize and then snatch the coat from the third-place prize. Hmm~ who has it now?"

Kusuo Saiki slowly took off his coat.

Putting everything else aside, this is worth 30 billion now, and wearing this coat feels so heavy.

Fifth place: Rabbit of the Zodiac; Sixth place: Phinks; Seventh place: Ox of the Zodiac; Eighth place: Gon; Ninth place: Leorio; Tenth place: Swimmer of the Effort.

The tenth place is Goodjob. I knew that perseverance would lead to success, and opportunities always come to those who are prepared!

Kusuo Saiki stared intently at the award presentation, and some eyes were also fixed on him.

If Kamisama exists in the world, Kamisama, please let Illumi get the cream pudding machine!

"It's you again, Umbrella Bro." Saiki Kusuo prepared to leave.

"Sixth place winner Finks has received an extra prize: a cream pudding maker and an electric kettle! Let's congratulate him!"

Kusuo Saiki: ...

Let's catch up, old acquaintance. Are you familiar with Finks?

Side Story: The Scattered Spiders

On September 5th, as the sun rose in the east as usual, people greeted the new day as usual.

But during the busiest and busiest morning rush hour, somewhere in the suburbs, a series of explosions suddenly rang out.

No one could remain calm on this seemingly ordinary morning. The explosion was followed by the sirens of police cars, ambulances, and fire alarms.

The Phantom Troupe members gathered near the explosion zone. Phinks stood on a red fire truck, wielding a water gun and drawing everyone's attention.

And those shops that they had robbed and abandoned were now being raided by people in disguise who took whatever they wanted.

Parker, Kubi, the knight.

Uvogin had already embarked on his journey, and for the other members of the Phantom Troupe, who were originally intelligence agents whose abilities had clearly declined after losing their Nen and who could no longer contact or care for them, the Troupe chose to take care of them in this way, hoping that they could take what they needed during this robbery and continue on their respective journeys.

They were bound by chains. Although exorcists still existed in the world, finding them was extremely difficult and rare. They might have to search for years and make countless mistakes. During this time, they wished that their longtime companions would survive and one day receive a call from them and return to Spider.

Nobunaga followed Kubi from a distance, and followed Kubi into the subway. He watched as Kubi held up his money and bought a train ticket by himself. He was ignored and cut in line by others from time to time. He was furious countless times, but he endured it.

He followed Kubi until Kubi boarded the long-distance train heading straight southwest.

Southwest, Meteor City. Nobunaga understood, Korip was going back.

Nobunaga relaxed and turned back into the spider.

On the other side, Peeling Ripper changed his appearance using the Martial Arts Melody and followed Pike.

She discovered that Parker had put down his gun, changed his clothes, taken the money, and walked into the job fair; she was actually planning to find a job there.

Was it because she wanted to know what the Youkexin gang was up to? Peeling Rift watched as she chose the library's front desk, which paid very low wages, silently noted down the library's name, and left.

Where will the chivalrous hero go next?

The knight-errant grabbed a suitcase from a shopping mall amidst the chaotic crowd. He filled the suitcase with a considerable amount of money, clothing, and some readily available equipment.

The Phantom Troupe had a bank card with a large amount of money in it, which was originally kept by him, but he gave it to Chrollo for Neon's sake.

Thinking about the poverty that would last for a long time, he grabbed another handful of money.

They no longer use their incantations, or rather, they can no longer use them. Everything has to be done like normal people, even their clothing has to be seasonal, and they need equipment if they want to go mountain climbing.

He took out his hunter's license from his pocket and assessed the current situation.

Since I am no longer relevant to the spider, the rest of my time should belong to me. Although I won't die, finding a safe corner to wait is a good choice.

But if a few years later there really is a chance to return to Spider after eliminating the illusion, can I still help Spider if I stay in the same place and wait?

It won't work if he doesn't grow at all, otherwise he'll probably get criticized by Phinks and Feitan.

The knight-errant felt that his abilities were not particularly outstanding, and if he did not improve, he would only be a burden when he returned to the Spider Clan.
