Cherreads

Chapter 212 - Chapter 199: Countdown 1

Chrollo left.

Saiki Kusuo reached for a soda, but a hand with red nail polish appeared and picked it up.

"Hey there, boy."

You can drink it, no need to give it back.

"Will you have a family party when you get back?"

What does my family party have to do with you?

"I've been hearing really interesting things lately, I'd like to visit the Zoldyck home~"

I'll block the door so you can't come in, definitely.

"Illumi said he'd let me in." Hisoka kissed the ring on his finger.

Well, that too... Wait, that ring! What happened? Big brother is taking Hisoka home, for what? How much explosive information are the Zoldyck elders going to learn in one day?!

"Oh my, how did you know I got an engagement ring?" Hisoka showed Saiki Kusuo all sides of the ring in three angles in a second.

Stop showing off, and think about it, Illumi probably told everyone a long time ago.

"Then I wish us both good luck~ Oh, and here, I wouldn't steal a kid's drink." Hisoka put down the soda and left happily.

Good grief, big brother really is with Hisoka…

Saiki Kusuo took a sip.

What's going on, what's this taste?

The soda says it's orange flavored, but it's mixed with a mysterious green apple flavor.

Saiki Kusuo quickly figured it out.

Hisoka just used Nen! Transformation Nen can change the taste of water!

What a prank this guy is playing.

A pineapple bun appeared in front of him, held up by a fat hand.

It was Milluki.

"Here, big bro! Soda with bread, right."

Good grief, I'll give this weird soda to someone else who wants it, but I can have the bread.

"Hehe, bro Kusuo is really going to stay here forever." Alluka piled snacks on the table.

Soon, Killua also landed again with a pile of chocolate.

But he carried electricity, and when he put the chocolate down, there was still a little current between the chocolate wrappers.

Okay, who's going to take the first bite of this chocolate with physical tingling effect?

"Let's have a Zoldyck party before the end!" Killua said.

Zoldyck party, don't you think that no one will come if you shout like that?

"So that's where all the chocolate went."

As expected, he appeared.

"Let's eat together, Illumi!"

Huh? Killua isn't afraid of Illumi all of a sudden?

Killua: [So it wasn't my mind playing tricks and mistaking bro Kusuo for white hair, putting pressure on bro Kusuo for nothing, so I don't need to feel guilty! I can do whatever I want! And this whole white-haired heir to the family thing, wouldn't white Kusuo be a better fit!]

Don't be happy too soon, kid. Silva might not accept white Kusuo, and if something happens and I get hurt, white Kusuo will disappear. There's no way that setup could be a Zoldyck heir.

Wait, I'm not going to be the heir to the assassin family, am I? Why did I just consider that?

Milluki asked, "But big bro, what kind of surprise is white Kusuo preparing?"

[Just a step-by-step treat.]

"Can I join the party?" Suddenly, a cat head peeked out from behind Saiki Kusuo's shoulder.

"Whoa! Don't scare me like that! White Kusuo!"

Cat paws climbed onto Saiki Kusuo's shoulder, and a furry body pressed against Saiki Kusuo: "What a strange name, you can just call me Kusuko."

[Isn't Kusuko even stranger? It's not even a real name at all.]

"Why not be a person? It's okay, we'll separate you from bro Kusuo!"

"They're both bro Kusuo!"

"Don't be so full of yourself, being a cat is because of me." A different voice appeared.

The Zoldycks followed the sound and saw Saiki Kusuke.

"I want to go home with you, Kusuo. Don't hide anything that happened from me, okay?"

[That's what I was planning to do anyway.]

Saiki Kusuo suddenly noticed that everyone's thoughts were a little strange.

He turned around and saw that Saiki Kusuke was holding a gun that clearly could break someone down into ions!

"Something like in the movies…" Milluki's eyes widened, "How did you make it! It's definitely real!"

"Oh my, want to try it?" Saiki Kusuke pressed the switch at everyone, and energy gathered at the muzzle.

[Hey, wait a minute!] Saiki Kusuo panicked.

Saiki Kusuke raised and lifted his hand, aiming the gun at the sky.

A dazzling flash of light rose from the ground, accompanied by a slight crackling sound, dragging a long tail straight into the sky.

"pew——bang!"

Even in the daytime, fireworks bloomed. After the fireworks exploded, a fireball suddenly followed.

One, two, energy cannons of various colors were fired into the air, detonating different...explosions. These energy cannons came from the spontaneous organization of dark creatures below, but none of them could do as splendidly as Kusuke's firework barrage.

After all, energy cannons are different from human-made fireworks! How could they still be fireworks?

"It's about time to start." Kusuko said to himself, pressing his forehead against Saiki Kusuo's cheek, then jumped off his shoulder, appearing in the sky amid the explosions, in the center of everyone's attention.

"Thank you everyone for participating in my game on this dark continent."

"I don't know how everyone's experience in this game has been, but the NPCs and I have had a very pleasant experience."

"Along the way, I accomplished many things I wanted to experience, saw some humans appearing vividly before my eyes, saw everyone's lives, and shared countless joyful, or sad, but still joyful times with you."

"Thank you everyone for your company, I've decided to copy some settings completely."

Huh? Is that something he can say?

"Does everyone know about Greed Island? The final stage to clear Greed Island is an answer sheet exam for all the players in the game, and the person with the highest score gets the final clear card."

"So I've decided, as the GM of this game, I can make what I decide come true, and I've already completed it during the preparation time just now - the largest exam hall! Everyone will be transferred to separate rooms in various areas to answer questions. The venue is pretty random, you might be in an apartment room, maybe in a salaryman's sad office, maybe in a classroom full of NPCs, or maybe on a bus full of NPCs. Don't ask the NPCs for help, the NPCs around you won't help you answer."

"Please answer the questions on your own. Those who pass will get the chance to be teleported back to the hunter continent. Those who fail just need to take the ship you came on back."

"Back to where you were before you came here." Kusuko said, and teleportation circles opened individually under everyone's feet.

Don't doubt it, this is a farewell. He has been paying attention to the players' actions, so in the end, he was always worried about how to have a better farewell.

It's now, he can actually end it at any time. Stories have been happening in the world before they are written into stories.
