The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

Kusuo Saiki looked around: What kind of indoor sports field is this, only suitable for playing chess on rainy days?

“I’ve been using my telepathic abilities to play chess with the principals of the school district lately, and you might lose to me.”

"Oh? I won't lose so easily." Saiki Kusuo rolled up his sleeves, and the match began.

Although in summer, rolling up only a small section of the sleeves doesn't look impressive and actually looks strange.

“By the way,” Saiki Kusuo said, “please call me by a different name.”

"Is that alright? Then, shall I call you Saiki or Kusuo?"

"Qi Mu is a bit awkward, and Kusuo feels a bit strange calling me that, so... Master it is."

What kind of play are they playing?

“Master, you can call me Kusuo. Aren’t I in cat form right now? In order to ensure that everyone in the Hunter world will correctly identify you as Saiki Kusuo himself, I’ve decided to officially play the role of a cat for a while.”

I see. I really have thought about it carefully.

However, he refused the title, finding it strange to be called "master" by his own clone.

"How about Xiao Nan? No, you're older than me, so should I call you Nan Xiong Ge? That would overlap with the younger brothers. Qi Mu Ge? Xiao Xiong? Da Xiong?"

Nobita definitely can't do it.

"So, which one do you think sounds better?"

Neither of them sounds good. Fine, just call me "the real me" then.

"No problem. As for the main body, I have another idea."

“I think turning back into a male body will help you recover faster, because that body is more used to superpowers. We can swap souls, and then I will…” Nanmao really didn’t want to overstep the line, but this matter required crossing the line. After taking over the identity of the original body, he also took over the body. He should be a little more cautious.

Kusuo Saiki understood: Let's do it this way. Let's start right away. You can also use my body to use your superpowers. You can go somewhere far away and train while you transform. You can come back in two hours.

Kusuo Saiki was completely unprepared.

Nanmao was deeply moved and pounced on Saiki Kusuo.

This large feline weighs 20 kilograms. When it pounces, it's like a bath towel soaked in water; one bath towel could slap a person who has just come out of the swimming pool back into the pool.

Kusuo Saiki was also pounced on by the big cat and knocked onto the sofa. Of course, in the blink of an eye, he became that cat.

It feels like I'm throwing myself into trouble.

They successfully swapped bodies. Kusuo Saiki became a cat, and the cat became Kusuo Saiki. The cat picked up Kusuo Saiki as if he were a sacred object, placed him on the sofa, and waved goodbye as she flew away into the sky.

After saying goodbye, Kusuo Saiki stood up on the sofa. He could feel the superhuman strength that this large feline possessed from birth by moving his legs. If he wanted to, he could easily destroy this building even without superpowers now.

The body has excellent control over strength, especially the tail... So why train the tail like that?

Saiki Kusunoki lay down on the spot.

There's no need to waste time and effort adapting to this body, since the clone will be back in two hours.

Chapter 168 You poked the wrong cat!

The balcony is directly in front of the sofa, and you can see the beach and coastline outside the balcony. There is a door in the middle of the beach.

That's the door that Saiki Kusuo and the others entered through when they came to this area during the day.

There aren't many doors available in each area. If you're coming from the direction of the prison, you'll enter through this door unless you get too lost. That's why Kusuo Saiki stayed here.

Saiki Kusunoki: But I think Kuroro will make good use of the time he finally managed to gain.

The door on the beach slowly opened, and a person with a coat hanging from their arm appeared under the clear sky.

Saiki Kusunoki: The ten days you specifically requested must be part of a plan, so I didn't need to stay here for the first few days. Long-haired creatures like cats don't have superpowers to maintain their body temperature, and I'm already getting a bit hot.

Chrollo stepped onto this coastline, with Chrollo beside him and Shizuku behind him. Chrollo handed Chrollo the Devil Phone.

Saiki Kusunoki Male Cat: Feline ears are so sensitive! I heard the door open, but why didn't it close? Did I hear wrong? The typhoon just passed, so strong winds are understandable. The main thing is, if I wanted to check, I'd have to get up from the sofa, and because of my height, I'd have to run to the chair on the balcony, then hold onto the edge to stand up—just thinking about it is exhausting. Maybe someone else came back? That's great! No need to worry about it. Listening carefully, I definitely heard three people's footsteps. And it's definitely not our huddled Zoldyck cubs; they wouldn't forget anything anyway.

"Commander, keep your eyes on the line."

"Yes, I sensed it. But the fact that they made us sense it on their own initiative makes me wonder if there's some kind of conspiracy involved."

"It's our perception that's good."

"No, that being... could easily hide it from us."

"This is the gathering place of the Kuruta. Captain, I still prefer to wait until everyone is here before coming."

"That was my original plan, but victory isn't yet assured, and time is still running out. The last piece could be the deciding factor, and there's also someone else..."

On the balcony, Kusuo Saiki peered out from behind the wall, where a large cat was perched.

He wanted to disguise himself, so his ears instinctively shrank to the sides, making him an "earless cat" that was not easily noticed, with only his head and eyes showing.

He arrived here the very next day? What about the 10 days he went through all that trouble to get? Was he just trying to have fun? Was he just looking for trouble with Kurapika?

He must have grown up eating weird tastes.

"Yare yare." The cat's ears were quite sensitive, and after hearing the conversation, Kusuo Saiki pulled his head back.

Since we can't communicate in cat form right now, let's leave it alone and wait for Nanmao to return before entertaining guests.

Those guys actually rang the doorbell.

"Ding dong ding dong ding dong!"

Ulusha, the city is so big, can't you explore it more? I'll come find you later.

"Ding ding ding ding dong dong dong!"

It's so noisy! The ringtone is so loud it's blurry, how is that even possible?

Oh dear, this is troublesome. As Kusuo Saiki got up from the sofa and was considering whether to go downstairs, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the balcony on his left.

A dark figure quickly darted into the room, moving with incredible speed!

Kusuo Saiki's dynamic visuals are clearly visible.

He remained in the position of preparing to get off the sofa, his front legs resting on the armrest, his eyes following Kuroro's movements to see what he was going to do.

Kuroro was dressed in a gray and white suit, holding an antenna... no, two antennas. As the camera panned, Saiki Kusuo noticed the shadow of another antenna. Seriously, that one was stuck to his own body—what kind of carrying method is that!

Without any unnecessary movements, Kuroro leaped off the balcony and sprinted along the wall, locking onto Saiki Kusuo as he approached. He raised the antenna in his hand, wondering what he was about to do…

Wait, it's coming straight for me? Has this person lost their mind?!

This kind of reaction in an emergency is naturally instinctive. Saiki Kusuo raised his hand and waved it, then remembered that he was currently in cat form; even without superpowers, some of his actions might generate power greater than a human's!

The claw that had been swung out couldn't be retracted. Oh no, the claw was heading straight for his leg? Well, everyone knows his leg has a strong regenerative ability, so he can rest assured. No, if possible, I still hope he dodges. Huh? He dodged!

How could someone who is much faster than Kuroro possibly dodge it?

Not only that, Kuroro immediately launched a second attack, jumping up from above, his hands clasped together, his target still... to stick the antenna into me?

Why are you pricking me with needles? Are you possessed by Illumi?

Qi Mukuxiong retracted his claws and retreated.

He should be able to dodge it successfully. Cats are very agile, while ordinary people have difficulty adjusting their body movements in the air. He will probably take the next attack after landing.

But then Kuroro kicked the back of the sofa and spun around to adjust his position!

This guy has incredible observation skills. He thought I was going to back away and used the sofa to adjust my movements the moment I retracted my claws? Wait, his reaction was too fast?

Kusuo Saiki jumped towards another sofa, landing on the back of the sofa, but instead knocked the sofa over with a heavy blow.

Oh, I forgot! It's a 20-kilogram big cat now!

There was a sound behind him, and Kuroro followed closely, his speed was surprisingly fast. As Kusuo Saiki leaped and dodged along the walls of the room, Kuroro was able to keep up.

What's wrong with this person?

There was a strange feeling.

In Saiki Kusuo's memory, Kuroro wasn't that strong. Of course, he was very strong, but now he was somewhat beyond human capabilities. His body instantly adjusted to every move Saiki Kusuo made; it was too fast. Humans should have time to think.

And he was extremely persistent in pricking him with needles!

If you don't want to get pricked, it's actually quite simple. Just jump out of this building. No matter how many genetic mutations humans undergo, they can't outrun animals.

However, Kusuo Saiki currently lacks superpowers and cannot maintain a constant body temperature. Cats have a slightly higher body temperature than humans, and their body temperature rises even faster when they exercise.

Cats usually cool themselves down physically by lying on the cold floor, but a clean cat like Kusuo Saiki doesn't want its bare paws to touch the ground.

In short, it's laziness.

Too lazy to crush human confidence, Kusuo Saiki slammed on the brakes and gave up on escaping. He let go of the wall and landed on the carpet below, whereupon a hand pressed down on his neck from behind.

Normally, this would be a move that would push someone to the ground, but a healthy Kusuo Saiki stands upright and motionless.

Kusuo Saiki looked up and met Kuroro's gaze, only to find that although Kuroro was looking directly at him, his eyes were not focused.

Kuroro raised his hand, and the needle at the bottom of the antenna pierced the back of Saiki Kusuo's neck.

Kuroro's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Phew, so tired...!"

Kuroro immediately collapsed to the ground without any regard for his image.

Kusuo Saiki: ? Who got stabbed? I'm the one who should be exhausted, even though I can't see it, my nose is definitely red and hot right now. Controlled-strength exercises are always much more tiring than free-form exercises.

An innocent cat watching a play was attacked by a flying thief who broke into its home and pricked it with needles.

That's going too far! Hey, get up and explain yourself.

Kusuo Saiki lay on the carpet, intending to question him, but suddenly found himself unable to move.

Not only that, it suddenly turned into a marshmallow and lay paralyzed on the ground.

Hey, is this antenna...?

"Congratulations, Captain, on your success! How was it? It hurt a lot, didn't it? This ability absolutely pushes the limits of the human body, and anyone who uses it will experience excruciating pain afterward!"

So that's the knight's ability. The knight is a manipulator, using a mobile phone with two antennas. When the antennas are attached to someone, he can control them through the phone; when attached to himself, he enters automatic mode, deactivating only after achieving his goal. The price is that after developing his highest limit in battle, his body will experience excruciating pain, like undergoing grueling, tearing training, leaving him as a wounded soldier requiring recovery.

In other words, if Kusuo Saiki had actually run away, Kuroro would have chased after him with a 100-meter dash.

"This is the ability to risk one's life until one is unable to move. I'm really worried about what will happen if the captain fails."

What a pity, isn't it?
