The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

"We'll also be searching for exorcists in several cities, and then we'll need to contact our guild members. It seems the GMs on Greed Island are monitoring us, so to avoid being discovered, Qi Mu can't use teleportation to get me between cities right now," Kuroro said. "I'm not in a hurry. We'll find the people we can find, so the pace of the mission will probably be much slower."

It's as if you're the one doing the mission, Kuroro.

A client who is extremely wealthy and doesn't pursue deadlines.

Isn't the efficiency too slow?

Illumi, who always puts the client above all else, thought of intervening to help, but then he remembered the experience Kuroro wanted in the mission description.

Since he said he would personally enter the game when he applied for the task, and he just emphasized "no rush", does that mean he wants Xiaonan to complete his task slowly?

Kuroro isn't using his voice right now, as it involves security and privacy, and it would be dangerous for too many people to know. They don't want the Zoldycks to search for him in a high-profile manner.

Hmm. Illumi clapped his hands, understanding.

"Do you need us to help you contact the guild? We can use the game communication."

"Sure, how exactly is that done? Like a regional megaphone in an online game?"

“No, it’s still a card. A book.” Illumi called out the book and generously opened it for Chrollo to see.

Although the thing summoned by the book magic looks like a book, it has many functions when opened. In addition to the card slot, there is also a screen-like area that can display the functions of some cards.

Communication G-220: Talk to a challenger (only challengers seen in the game) through a book.

Kuroro saw the familiar names of the group members in the book.

He was somewhat surprised that everyone used their original names. He recalled that in some games, Feitan and his friends preferred to use names related to their abilities, such as "Blazing Sun."

Kuroro carefully looked at each name, and after only three months apart, he actually missed them a little.

Chapter 113 Welcome to the Phantom Troupe, Farewell to the Phantom Troupe

Communication is only possible with challengers you've met in-game.

"Have you met before?" Kuroro asked. It was obviously a no-brainer, but Kuroro wanted to know what they had done together.

Hisoka chuckled and licked his lips: "Hmm~ I got into a fight with someone yesterday afternoon."

“As you can see, Hisoka is unharmed,” Illumi said, which meant that the Phantom Troupe hadn’t been hurt either. He picked up the card and asked, “What do you want to say to the Phantom Troupe?”

"All they need to do is tell them I'm here."

"Just tell them not to come over."

Kuroro believed that his members were all obedient and good members.

“Oh. Communication, Nobunaga Hatsama.” Illumi used the card as soon as Chrollo finished speaking. “But since you’re willing to meet, wouldn’t it be better to have the Phantom Troupe members just stand by and watch over you? By the way, why is Chrollo alone?”

I almost forgot, the details of the restrictions weren't exactly public information. Although Illumi was at the airport at the time, he was too distracted by the situation there to bother knowing the specifics of the restrictions.

Kusuo Saiki did not include this detail in the contract.

The communication was established as soon as Illumi finished speaking.

After a brief silence, Nobunaga's voice came from the book: "Hey, you just mentioned Kuroro, right?"

"There's absolutely no way I could have misheard. It's not Varoro, and it's not Kuromi. It's Kuroro, right!"

There's actually a Kuromi in this world.

Hisoka peered over from the side: "Can communication only transmit what the user says?"

Obviously not, Hisoka's voice was heard by the Phantom Troupe.

"You've seen Kuroro? Where is he?" Nobunaga asked again.

"The guild leader is only active outside of the game, right?" came other people's voices from the background.

"Right here! You were too weak, so I broke your leg," Hisoka said cheerfully.

"What!!"

Hisoka, do you even know there are teleportation cards in this game?

"Is that Hisoka's voice? He's talking nonsense. Nobunaga, why would you believe him?"

"That's right, we have more important things to do."

"Okay, okay, I didn't hang up the phone..."

Nobunaga was a man of true feelings.

The members of the guild, far away on Greed Island, gathered around Nobunaga. Nobunaga rested his hand on his sword, his meaning clear.

He'd wanted to stab Hisoka for a long time.

Hisoka isn't a member of the Phantom Troupe anymore, so they can't just beat him up whenever they want. They escaped yesterday, but they won't get away today.

Feitan let out a strange laugh, while Phinks had already taken out his card.

F-130 Companion: After using the spell, all challengers within a 20-meter radius will fly to a designated location (only locations already visited) or the location of a designated challenger (only challengers seen in the game).

In the long pause after Nobunaga finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Then Phinks' deep voice rang out: "Fellow traveler, Illumi Zoldyck!"

Why is it Illumi, a fellow traveler?

Because Hisoka's game name is "The Undefeated Magician," they didn't want to use that name.

The group moved incredibly fast; the cards transformed into orbs of light, enveloping the challengers within a 20-meter radius, and the group soared into the air towards their destination. Just as Phinks' voice faded in the communication, Kusuo Saiki sensed something hurtling towards them.

"Thump!" "Crack!" "Crackling!"

The small room shouldn't have been able to accommodate so many people, but the mission-driven cards somehow managed to bring them into the room.

It's so crowded, really.

Like any stereotypical bandit, the Phantom Troupe made a violent entrance in the center of the room, stepping on tables and chairs, each wielding a weapon, causing some damage the moment they appeared.

The moment Illumi sensed something was wrong, he left the center of the room and stood with Hisoka on either side of the bed.

At this moment, the small room for one was crammed with 11 people, and even Hisoka shared this consensus with everyone else.

—If you want to fight, go outside and fight.

"Hey, pink-haired guy." Feitan, as always, "loves" to cause trouble for Kusuo Saiki.

Tsk, I still got noticed.

Kusuo Saiki, who had deliberately concealed his presence, was now in the corner. Strangely, he was pressing down on the back of someone's head, pinning that person against the wall.

Feitan made a suspicious move, approaching step by step, but Hisoka blocked his path.

"Hmm~" Before Feitan could react, Hisoka noticed and quickly moved aside.

Didn't you deliberately stand here blocking the way?

Hisoka: Of course not, it makes the meeting more interesting.

As Feitan walked past Hisoka with suspicion, Hisoka finally spoke meaningfully: "It's better not to get close to that person, you might die."

"Ha. Threatening me?" Feitan sneered dismissively.

Without knowing that the person was Chrollo, Feitan naturally assumed that Hisoka meant he would die at the hands of Kusuo Saiki.

The tip of the umbrella suddenly pointed directly at Hisoka's Adam's apple, and Feitan said in a low, hoarse voice, "Letting you die first isn't so bad."

With war looming, Kuroro, whose head was being forced to face away from the Phantom Troupe, frowned slightly.

He felt something was wrong with his body. He started feeling chest tightness when the group members appeared, and now, he was gradually experiencing unbearable pain all over his body.

The chain tightened slowly as if to take his life, seemingly punishing him for being close to his fellow members.

He felt an almost tangible chain around his neck. He instinctively reached up to touch his neck, but touched nothing. However, the faint feeling of suffocation came from there. Kuroro gripped his neck and seemed to feel tiny chains beneath his skin and bones.

Kusuo Saiki finally reminded him,

There was a moment of silence among the members of the group.

Nobunaga laughed dismissively: "Hahahaha! Are you going to continue joking? Don't underestimate me, this is a place only Nen users can enter!"

Little Drop, clutching her materialized Nen beast, the bulging-eyed fish, which resembled a vacuum cleaner, looked utterly innocent beneath her round-framed glasses: "But this back view really does look like the leader, doesn't it? Franklin."

“If Kuroro had regained his Nen, he would have called us already,” Nobunaga said.

Machi, who had been standing at the back with her arms crossed, exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? The captain can't fight it. Don't you know there's no signal on Greed Island?"

"Huh?! What?!"

"So, has the captain already found Greed Island?"

"So that's how it is. After entering Greed Island, the captain couldn't find us and has now been unexpectedly taken hostage by three people!"

"Hey, let go of the commander."

Several spiders simultaneously cast sharp glances their way.

Kusuo Saiki: Can't you seven people put together a single brain?

If Chrollo has regained his Nen, how could he remain unmoved while being suppressed by others? Pay attention to his condition!

As Feitan continued to approach, Kusuo Saiki reached out his palm to block him from a distance.

"You?" Feitan's disdain was practically written all over his face. He held up his umbrella weapon, as if to say that no matter how close he got, he should try out whatever moves he had.

Kusuo Saiki knew that if he hit someone, the other person would die, so the Phantom Troupe was really hard to get along with.

"Hmm? I can't beat so many, Xiaonan." Illumi, who had been watching the show from the sidelines as an outsider, replied immediately.

Don't reject it so quickly.

Feitan stared at Kuroro's back. There was really nothing to doubt; this person's height and build matched Kuroro's appearance perfectly.

They had followed Kuroro for a long time, and as soon as they thought of this possibility, they could recognize who this person was just by feeling.

But they had also come to the edge of Greed Island, and it was clearly impossible to enter. What is Kuroro's current state? Is the restraint of the chain hand still on him?

Thinking this, Feitan also took several steps back.

With him leading the way, the spiders in the small room retreated further, keeping as far away from Kuroro as possible.

Kuroro finally caught his breath and released his grip on his neck. Everyone could hear his deep breaths, and all eyes were fixed on his bent back.

I just didn't expect the group to directly confront me like this.
