Review Callback, Host: Saiki Kusuke
As everyone knows, Saiki Kusuo is a shy person who doesn't like going out, and even less likes being in crowded, lively places.
As everyone knows, Saiki Kusuo is a psychic, and no one can force him to do things he doesn't want to do, and there's basically nothing he can't do.
As everyone knows, if someone like Saiki Kusuo agrees to participate in an interview show, he must've been kidnapped by coffee jelly. Why coffee jelly? Because if someone kidnapped coffee jelly, that person might become Saiki Kusuo Zoldyck's first assassination target in his life.
If you need more reasons for this volume to appear... fine, I surrender.
Did you know? There's a hidden rule in the Tomato Novel world.
Mastering the rules is mastering everything. If you don't know this, you'll ruin the perfect number of 200 chapters, and it'll be as terrible to look at as the side story chapter that was stuck in the middle like a car crash when the second volume came out.
Ordinary people might not need it, but if you want to be a creator god, you're in luck. This rule is...
[Discontinued works can be modified 48 hours after resuming serialization]
Where did anyone say something like this in advance? Can't there be a manual to give some peace of mind to people with obsessive-compulsive disorder? "That guy" has only changed up to Chapter 47 so far. At this rate, how many days will I have to be open for business to wait for "that guy" to fix all the bugs?
If this sentence can pass the review, please change this unreasonable rule when you see it.
In short, the reason for the appearance of this section has been explained.
In a pitch-black, mysterious space, Saiki Kusuo sits in his seat, waiting.
"So, in the comments on the first chapter, when you just crossed over to Zoldyck, a reader named
Saiki Kusuo looked up at Saiki Kusuke, who was sitting across from him with a notebook and gold-rimmed glasses, waiting for his answer.
...First explain why you're the host.
"Why? You almost became an assassin, why not directly change the consciousness, for example, Zoldyck is a bakery family! or something?"
You really need to be careful of Illumi when you go out.
Saiki Kusuo crossed his arms.
[Changing the world's consciousness is a very dangerous ability, it would affect everyone.]
[Being an assassin is the lifelong career of every Zoldyck person. If that's taken away casually, Grandpa, Dad, and even six-year-old Illumi would be confused about their lives. If they're not assassins, why does the Zoldyck's centuries-old system exist? Every assassination rule that's closely linked to reality would suddenly no longer be relevant to them, they would doubt the world. Causing such a big change to other people's lives is absolutely not okay, it's too much trouble for others.]
"Oh, although I pretty much guessed it, you're a psychic who thinks too much about other people causing you countless troubles."
People who don't take care of their own abilities and only cause trouble for others are too selfish.
Host Saiki Kusuke clapped his hands: "As expected of a psychic, next question! A lot of people didn't know you in the first chapter, so people in the comments section would spontaneously start introducing you. In the 6th paragraph of the first chapter, the reader
Saiki Kusuo: ...
Were these two questions deliberately put together?
Saiki Kusuo can only apologize for this.
[That was when I was young and didn't know any better, isn't it useless after being reborn? That's why I said, the ability to change the world's consciousness can't be used casually. If the Zoldyck family really followed through with being a bakery family, they might become terrifying poison bread hunters... For a moment, I seemed to see a black-haired kneading master striving for perfection, and also saw all kinds of strangely shaped bread with no sense of aesthetics.]
No, a bakery family is absolutely not okay. Bread will become something that leaves a shadow on the children of this world. I don't want dark bread to flow into Meteor City and make the people of Meteor City turn evil...
How scary.
"You're really a responsible psychic, so what do you think of the reader
[Oh well, everything has two sides.]
[If we break down a few superpowers for analysis, telepathy allows you to hear other people's thoughts so you won't be deceived, but the range is too large and the voices are very noisy. Because you know the answer, you can't experience surprise, etc., these are all side effects. It would be better if the ability had a switch or could be narrowed down to a certain range, but telepathy is passive, it's a part of my life with a very strong presence, 100% of the time. If it were an ordinary person, anyone whose workplace shouted at them for 18 hours a day would want to escape to outer space, right?]
"Hmm, that's really very noisy, so what are the side effects of psychokinesis?"
[The strength is hard to control, and if you use it on people, you might strangle them to death.]
"But you also used psychokinesis to open the refrigerator when you were at home for New Year's, and you could eat ice cream and drink hot tea without moving from the kotatsu, isn't that hard to control?"
[That's an achievement I made with very careful effort, I deserve it.]
"Ah~ let's just say so. What about teleportation? That's the most convenient ability, what are the side effects?"
[...]
"Teleportation has no side effects at all, right? It's actually a very good ability, and restoration doesn't have any side effects either. Restoring to seven years ago was just that the effect was too good and caused trouble, but restoration really made you younger, can Kusuo really accept seeing his family bedridden and in pain? If you want to keep your parents and grandpa alive, you can just regularly restore them to seven years ago and become the eternally young and immortal Saiki family."
[Absolutely not.]
[There are side effects, just like the progress of technology also brings side effects. Humans are very complex creatures, you can understand that, right?]
"Hmm, I understand, that's why I didn't include myself."
[Losing the threat of death, losing the challenge, being able to do anything, knowing everything, being able to go anywhere. I've personally experienced this kind of life, it's definitely boring, a life as dull as a stone.]
"If there were a monkey, the atmosphere would become so serious that the monkey couldn't think and would become lifeless. Next question, in Chapter 8,
[If I can learn it, then of course there's no problem. I've also seen Nen, and I could do things like enveloping the world with power when I was in elementary school. Although En is an advanced use of Nen, isn't it pretty much just releasing energy to cover the Earth?]
"It's a good thing the host isn't a Nen user, as expected, whether they're ordinary people or Nen users, they should all fall at Kusuo's feet in envy..."
What kind of metaphor is that?
"But Kusuo didn't learn Nen, why?"
[I really don't want any more abilities, learning Nen wouldn't do me any good. And now it's even more impossible to open that so-called aura node; getting hurt would make White Kusuo disappear.]
"If you could imagine a Nen ability, what would it be?"
Is that also a reader's comment? No, it's his own question.
Saiki Kusuo hesitated for a moment, and said: [The vow and restriction thing gets stronger when it meets the strong, using that, you could regulate superpowers, right? The only thing that can restrain my power is myself.]
"As expected, you can't escape controlling your superpowers. Well then, the nonsense index has already been met, today's show brought to you by the Saiki brothers ends here!"
Oh well, I hope the author will revise the text properly, so there won't be another episode.
Saiki Kusuke finished speaking and left the room, but Saiki Kusuo was still sitting in the same place.
In the pitch-black space, Saiki Kusuo waited for more than ten seconds without any changes, which means...
Hey, don't be so "confident" in yourself, author.
However, this space is rarely quiet.
Saiki Kusuo closes his eyes, waiting for the next visitor.
…
[When people have different guesses about reality, perhaps there really are such parallel worlds in the world.]
On the TV, the blue-haired host is broadcasting today's weather forecast.
A ten-year-old pink-haired little boy, Saiki Kusuo, walks out of the room with a red bean bun in his mouth.
Outside the room door, two rows of butlers with different hair colors bow to welcome him. If you ask why, Saiki Kusuo is the undisputed genius of the new generation of the Zoldyck family.
He activated Nen at a young age and learned his own Nen without anyone teaching him.
He can make bread by hand without any oven.
But every time he finishes making bread, he also maintains the same 230°C body temperature as when he was baking bread, which makes his family very worried.
His older brother, Illumi, calculated the costs for him.
To ensure he doesn't get too hot, the family's air conditioning bill to cool him down far exceeds the cost of him making bread with just an oven without using Nen.
Therefore, although his younger brother has the magical skill of making bread by hand, it's not cost-effective, and it's difficult to make ends meet making ordinary bread.
This is very important. In recent years, the Zoldyck family's income has plummeted. Just adding a few newborns has suddenly made the family unable to make ends meet and can only live off their savings.
But no matter who recalls how to make money, all they can think of is that the Zoldyck family has made a living making bread for generations.
Neither their family members nor all the customers outside doubt this.
Huh? You ask why they're not worried about their brother burning to death at 230°C?
How can 230°C burn someone to death?
Human potential is unlimited, especially in modern times, the human body has reached the strongest self-evolution in history.
They won't get hurt falling from the eighteenth floor, and they won't get heatstroke at 230°C. What will break is the furniture that comes into contact with people.
Many past poisons are no longer lethal, and the Zoldyck's bread sales have made unprecedented progress in recent years.
Today, at the age of ten, Silva finds Saiki Kusuo and also calls his three four-year-old children, deciding to pass on the skills that the Zoldyck bakery family has passed down for many years to them.
"Ah --! Darling!!" Kikyo screams as she bursts into the family head's kneading room, "Something bad happened, Little Kill fell from a tree!"
"Calm down, Little Kill has had a very good physique since he was a child, falling from a tree is fine as long as he doesn't die." Silva is worthy of being the head of the family, pulling and flicking the dough in his hand, spreading out a beautiful arc. He covers it with a damp cloth to let it rest, then turns and walks out of the room. Despite such big movements, he doesn't have a single speck of flour on his body!
He calmly cancels the aura protecting him, and only then does he allow Kikyo to continue speaking.
"But Kusuo, Kusuo used teleportation to save Little Kill!!"
"?!"
Even Silva immediately leaves.
Their second child, Kusuo, has a little bit of extraordinary talent.
But those extraordinary talents all come at a price, which is side effects.
At the same time as teleportation, a huge explosion occurs at the starting point of the teleportation.
If you use restoration, the things that are restored will go back to a few days ago, but the plants and animals around you will age a few or even more than ten years without discrimination.
If you use the affection level display, both parties' moods will drop first, and it's difficult to increase affection during use.
Every time you foresee something, it will happen 100%, and you can't change it.
Taking living things from a distance will cause clones, and turning dead things into living things will be extremely aggressive.
Using electricity will shock your whole body for a day, using fire will maintain the highest body temperature when using fire, and using ice will be the opposite, and it can't be neutralized!
The world is fair, and the price of ability is equal.
They have repeatedly warned their second child to never use his abilities.
But in a crisis situation, Saiki Kusuo used them to save Little Kill, and they can't say anything.
Silva arrives at the place where Killua fell down. At this moment, Killua is standing next to his brother with his head down, and ten-year-old Saiki Kusuo is standing alone in front of the Zoldyck family gate.
Don't doubt it, he didn't run away from home because he was afraid of doing something bad.
The main reason is that the previous teleportation caused the Zoldyck's 256-ton gate to explode, and he plans to use restoration on the gate after everyone has left a certain range.
The surrounding plants will be the ones paying the price like this, and these plants may have to be replanted, but what's more important is obviously the family's priceless gate.
Silva and the others understood the process and watched from afar with the children.
Alas, it's not the child's fault for having extraordinary talent.
There's another one of the Zoldyck's new generation that has such a child...
"Daddy, hug me, hug me." Alluka raises her hands, wanting a high-high in Daddy's arms like Killua.
[Illusion Interrupted]
Saiki Kusuo wakes up with a start, wiping sweat from the back of his hand.
Oh well, so I said long ago that the world's consciousness must never be modified, and superpowers must never be used casually. The Zoldyck family can't become a bakery family. Who will explain how a bakery family will protect a family of oddballs?!
Changes in hair color are whatever, anyway, I haven't seen the Mary Sue Hisoka with rainbow-colored, dreamy hair, those kinds of creatures don't exist.
Hmm...
(Is it really not because the Hisoka in the illusion hasn't come to the door yet?)
Please don't let the new version of the anime's dazzling Hisoka really appear in reality, thank you.
