The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

Write whatever you want, but!

Kusuo Saiki: Is there a "but"? Isn't this already quite free?

However, if > and < are inappropriate, they should be used as punctuation.

Look everyone! This is going to be exhausting and confusing 555

Even a tiny droplet can feel dizzy@@

Whether or not emoticons can be added is a question. Isn't using ellipses to represent silence too mundane? It would be better to just skip it and not say anything. Why can the main character leave the ellipses? Most of the members of the Phantom Troupe are just background noise when everyone is talking. Sometimes in long conversations, only the leader speaks. It's obvious that everyone else's speech is categorized as that of the members!

Kusuo Saiki: Wait a minute, what's with this formatting and punctuation? This dimensional barrier has been broken since the very beginning...

"By the way, the author also needs to consider the personality differences between the different characters. Some characters would never use reduplicated words like 'broken,' 'bad,' and 'trapped.' These are the author's own habits, and they need to be revised."

I've been tagged. Oh well, it's okay to use it occasionally... I guess.

"Some characters' verbal tic can't be used on other characters, like 'ordinary.' Only someone who thinks about being ordinary all the time would have that word in their dictionary. It's strange, who would think about being ordinary? Wouldn't it make the reader feel awkward if you used it?"

I've been called out again. Hey, shouldn't you at least find someone else to use as an example?

"When there's too much to complain about regarding a character, and you accidentally make three comments, you have to think about deleting at least one, but it's hard to decide, so you have to go find the dice."

Well, that's just how I am when I'm complaining. I'm really sorry for causing trouble, so I'll forgive him for this.

But when it comes to finding dice, you should use your brain to think carefully and decide which one to delete!

So, which of these three paragraphs was actually deleted?

"Typo is also a very big problem. Even if you misspell one word, you can still understand it by looking at the context."

Did the author use a handwriting input method? He deserves to have tenosynovitis.

“Cuo De Tai Duo Jiu Kan Bu Dong Re”.

She seems to be writing something ruthless (very new).

"Whether borrowing from other works constitutes homage or plagiarism is a very perplexing question!"

Don't mind it, sharing it out of enjoyment is just a way of paying homage. By the way, it's necessary to clarify that the setting of Lords' Chess is 100% based on the anime No Game No Life, a very good niche anime. In that world, the god of games, Kamisama, turned the world into a chessboard, and a story of races fighting over chess pieces unfolds. If you collect all the pieces, you can challenge the gods... Hey, I hope something like that doesn't happen here.

The No Game No Life movie was also great. The Machine Race was amazing, the feeling of the robots, and that 251 seconds that left a deep impression on so many people! It's a pity that there wasn't a second season of the anime and no new volumes of the original novel. It perfectly meets the criteria of outliving the author. Since we're all following Hunter x Hunter, how about adding another anime to the longevity track?

"The Tomato's typo correction function is basically useless; even if the author submits it while reading the text, it won't be seen in the backend. I wonder if any kind readers have submitted it only to be ignored and felt disappointed. Hmm... but what is Tomato?"

People won't bother with such trivial matters; if they do, they can now directly comment and remind others.

"Professional authors also make sure every comment shows 'author liked it'!"

It's probably just that the author himself really wanted to see it.

"There are many more side effects..."

I see, the notebook is covered with dense writing, so the first thing you did was skip over the director's and editor's sections and go straight to the author's section? This isn't supposed to be about acting, is it?

"After writing about people who like pudding and jelly, I've come to realize that pudding and jelly are really delicious. Whenever I see pudding or jelly worth 35 yuan in a restaurant, I'll buy it."

Pudding and jelly are innocent; they are really delicious.

"At the buffet, I would try every flavor of pudding first, and then conclude that they were all cheap puddings made of powder. In the end, I would finish them in order not to waste them, and I would just fill my stomach for nothing."

Don't expect pudding at a buffet.

"There was even an incident where someone ate nine scoops of ice cream in order to build a three-layer ice cream scoop and got a stomachache."

It has nothing to do with writing novels anymore.

"Even in the middle of the night, I'll suddenly be tempted by desserts. Over time, the numbers on the scale will increase. That's what happens when you write about characters who love sweets."

However, people with Nen abilities and psychic abilities don't get fat from eating sweets.

What happened? Have you escaped the disaster of being possessed?

"We've finished reading the book. By the way, where's the commander?"

Oh, I just realized someone is missing.

The young man who had been listening in answered, "Are you talking about Mr. Lucilfer? He said that whining without reason was boring, asked for information on how to obtain the Lord's Chess here, and left a long time ago."

He's so devoted.

"Nothing to do? Shall we wait for the leader to finish the raid?" Xiaodi closed the book in her hand and looked at the young man. "Warden, if this place becomes a theme park for a play, will all the prisoners be released without charge?"

It turns out that he really was the warden.

"Ah, um. That's still undecided, but the other one is confirmed."

Something has been determined.

"The movie star has been successfully captured by Mr. Lucilfer. The lord of this region is now in Mr. Lucilfer's hands."

After the warden finished speaking, those within the territory received a notification sound.

The lord has changed, and this news does not include Kusuo Saiki, who holds six pieces.

Unlike Kusuo Saiki, Chrollo gave the order the moment he obtained the Lord's Chess.

Whatever the subject this territory is used for now, it was indeed a prison in the past, with broadcast and surveillance equipment distributed very well.

Kuroro, positioned in the broadcasting room, directly conveyed his orders and intentions: "Remove all players' permission to leave the designated area. Free movement within ten meters of any prison guard is prohibited. Now, everyone proceed to the free movement area B. Prison guards, open the gates for all player prisoners."

A prison with enough prisoners and enough staff, a large portion of whom are cameos from dark creatures.

Even so, Kuroro was surprised that this territory had more than forty people.

Although there are only three Nen users, one of them is a member of his group.

However, it can be utilized.

He did not personally go to the venue to meet those people. If anyone recognized him as the leader of the Phantom Troupe and shouted it out, he would lose the support of the people.

Yes, he doesn't intend to use power to control people directly. After all, people are people, and they will find loopholes in the rules in any environment. If the rules are meticulous enough, people will not be able to exert their strength.

"Greetings, everyone. I am the current lord of this domain, and your supreme ruler. But rest assured, I am not a tyrant. As long as you do not go too far, I will not use my authority to deprive people of their freedom."

Do you remember what Hunter language you used in your last statement?

"I'm quite enlightened, so I should reap some interest, right? Eight days have passed since the ship sank and reached shore. What are your thoughts and discoveries about this game you're in now? If you don't have any, that's fine. Look around and see if there's anyone connected to the prince of the Kakin Empire, whether they're guards or hired hands, it doesn't matter. If you don't have any information, find a way to get some and prove you're not useless. Thirty minutes of free time, after which each of you will report the information to the guard in charge of you."

What kind of enlightenment is this? Isn't this a serious threat to everyone?

In the warden's office, Kusuo Saiki ate some snacks and complained.

Oh dear, I thought we'd be going back soon. Judging from the current situation, it seems Kuroro is planning to discipline these prisoners a bit.

Just when he was feeling bored, Nanmao came to him.

"Meow, meow!" Nanmao raised its paw, trying to mimic the robot cat's reaction from its memory.

Kusuo Saiki: What's going on? Didn't I switch it to human speech mode last time?

Let's take a look at the buttons on the back.

Kusuo Saiki reached out, and Nanmao instinctively ducked to avoid it. In the brief moment that Kusuo Saiki's hand froze in mid-air, he reacted with lightning speed, leaning over the table and pulling out a box of military chess pieces from under it.

A brand-new military ceremonial chess set, made on-site with high-end, flawless, and super-powered features.

Kusuo Saiki: Did this robot cat know there was a military instrument downstairs through some scanning function and remind me that this could help me pass the time?

Great, I've got it now! Nanmao breathed a sigh of relief. He'd better play Gungi with the main body from now on, lest the main body wander off and discover something...

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Kuroro strode into the warden's office.

"Phew, it's good that you're still here. I'm planning to make good use of this place. I won't take you away right away. Will you get bored while we wait?"

Well, I already guessed it from the broadcast. Kusuo Saiki looked up.

But then they saw Kuroro dressed as a medieval knight.

I said the footsteps outside the door were clattering, what's going on?

"Are you wondering about this outfit? The Lord's Chess in this place requires acting to obtain. I played many roles, and this is the last one. I changed many outfits over several hours, and I was too lazy to change after it was all over."

It would be much easier to replace this heavy thing.

"Although it's for conquering territory, I'm having quite a bit of fun."

Yes, yes, the voice acting team leader that everyone loves.

"Dubbing? I meant acting. How did you know I could do dubbing?"

In the manga called Hunter X Hunter, oh no, I just thought of that without thinking.

"Hunter Association stuff? Their promotional comics? Never mind, instead of that, go to the broadcasting room and keep an eye on the security cameras for me."

This person is definitely the type who gets a perfect score on a closed-book exam but a zero on an open-book exam. Why do I need your real lord to do the work? Didn't I come here for a vacation?

"Please, I need to do the calculations, and maybe draw a rough map of the mainland as well. If all goes well, the prison will be a good place to defend, and anyone who comes in can be directly controlled, and we can learn about the situation in other areas from them."

You really know how to create trouble for yourself. Ugh, this is such a hassle.

"By the way, where did this military uniform come from? And what's this little cat doing?"

Nanmao's tail instinctively thumped against the table due to her displeasure, but she quickly pulled back and lifted it up just before it touched the table.

Should I take the picture or not? Taking the picture is absolutely not an option, so Nanmao has no choice but to restrain her instincts.

After all, the consequences of letting the tail flap freely cannot be explained by a simple function of Doraemon.

Kusuo Saiki: Gungi was found by Doraemon under the table; it was probably the warden's leisure activity.

"I see. Take it with you for your amusement too." Kuroro took Gungi with him.

You just said you were so busy that I had to check the security footage, but that's really unnecessary.

“It would be better if someone was watching over me… I have too many things to think about right now, I really don’t have the time or energy to watch, I really need help.”

I always felt like they were lying; they probably just wanted to monitor me more easily.

Kuroro left with Kusuo Saiki, and Nanako, who was following behind, almost had her nose hit by the heavy wooden door.

Fortunately, he acted quickly and escaped unharmed.

However, his time alone with his original self was disrupted. He had too many questions that he needed to answer by interacting with his original self. Playing chess could reveal changes in his current personal style and personality through the moves he made; otherwise, he wouldn't have returned.

This is very important; it relates to how he will live afterward.
