"Come on, you've been looking for double teams all morning. Those two aren't that easy to find!"
"Tsezguerra wants to be number one! He's concentrating on the questions right now!"
"We should have had everyone help Tsezguerra with the questions from the start!"
...
He spoke too soon. That guy is blindly devoted.
Saiki Kusuo and Chrollo each got a level one question. Saiki Kusuo knew that they were being watched by Hatsu.
He glanced at the question and solved it, but kept it in his hand, starting to do nothing, using Eyes of the Mind to check on Alluka.
On Alluka's side, Illumi wasn't there. Three kids were chatting in the room.
Milluki looked serious: "What should we do?"
Alluka also rarely looked serious: "We have to fix this!"
"Why? Aren't we supposed to break them up?" Killua asked, surprised.
"Break them up...? Killua! Love between guys is okay too! Even though Hisoka is weird, if you think about it, Big Brother is weird too, isn't he!"
Milluki, you really dare to say it.
"Huh? Didn't Big Brother say Hisoka and Chrollo were getting married?"
Alluka, you really dare to say it.
"Huh!? Wait, I thought it was Kusuo and..." Killua was shocked. "Looking at the context, is it about Kusuo?"
...Killua, you are...
"I really heard Big Brother say Hisoka and Chrollo were together!" Alluka said firmly, folding her arms. "What did you guys hear?"
Killua analyzed: "But Hisoka and Chrollo are almost never together. Big Brother and Hisoka are often together, and Kusuo and Chrollo are often together."
Suddenly, Saiki Kusuo was patted on the shoulder, and he withdrew Eyes of the Mind.
Looking at Chrollo right in front of him, he took a step to the side to keep his distance.
And standing in front of them was Tsezguerra.
"I see. You two are really smart." Tsezguerra acknowledged their strength. "I can't beat you, but if you get the designated card, could you trade it to us?"
"Sorry, we don't really need to trade," Chrollo said.
"What if you do need it? Please accept this recovery potion as a greeting gift."
Recovery Potion B-46: Drinking it heals the body's injuries and can also heal psychological problems.
Can it really heal twisted minds?
"Oh, thank you." Chrollo took the card. "But that doesn't mean I'm willing to trade. This card just gives me a little intention to trade. If the card I get isn't very useful, I'll consider it." [I wonder if it's reliable for these people to find a Nen remover?]
The Phantom Troupe's current currency that they are willing to trade: Nen remover *1.
Chrollo submitted the paper, and Saiki Kusuo also submitted it.
The two of them were once again firmly in the top two, and the rest of the top 10% were all Tsezguerra's people.
4 PM, the lottery.
Chrollo drank the potion as soon as it automatically turned into an item, and now he was finally standing in front of the board with normal legs.
Everyone made way for the two of them, waiting for them to go up and receive their awards.
"They're watching us..." Chrollo took a deep breath.
Nervous? No, it was that the members realized they were being watched and were getting closer.
Getting closer would make him hurt. This Greed Island really wasn't worth coming to in person, was it? -- Chrollo would think with some complaint.
The pain overshadowed everything else, affecting his clear sense of things inside and out. Chrollo didn't even notice that his stomach was growling.
Saiki Kusuo looked into his stomach and saw that it was empty: [Didn't you eat lunch?]
"Oh, it seems like it," Chrollo remembered. "Nen users can go 48 hours without eating, but recently I've been living in a world full of Nen users, and I've forgotten the habits of ordinary people."
Saiki Kusuo: He's so caught up in being a Nen user that he forgot he's an ordinary person now.
[Good grief, food is the most important thing for people. Weaklings, remember to eat your meals.]
Soon, Saiki Kusuo, who was in first place, got his card first.
Capricious Devil S-10: A devil that can grant three wishes. But you have to make a thousand wishes for the devil to randomly choose three ("Give me a hundred million" "Give me a hundred and one million" etc. Similar wishes that only increase the amount won't work).
Saiki Kusuo: What is this? I can't even think of three wishes.
Chrollo, who ranked second, got his card.
Homestead Land A-11: It will build a house just for you in a place you like. The address and construction of the house can be changed as you wish. The condition of living there is that no one else can enter the house or mention anything about it.
Saiki Kusuo glanced at it, [This is good. You can have your own apartment with three rooms and one living room next to our villa.]
"I think it's good too." Chrollo looked at Tsezguerra, who was waiting expectantly next to him. "I don't want to trade. I need this card."
[I can trade with you.] Saiki Kusuo said.
After all, if they didn't trade, the cards would disappear in their hands. Chrollo's card looked like it could be used directly without any problem.
"Okay! What do you want to trade it for?" Tsezguerra asked.
Saiki Kusuo thought for a moment: [How much do you think this card is worth? Leave, Accompany, Copy. I want an equal value of the above three cards. Five o'clock, exchange in Massadora.]
Tsezguerra was a good and fair person in the original story. Saiki Kusuo threw the card directly to him.
"...Okay." [He trusts me so much!] Tsezguerra was surprised.
[Is it okay to trust other people so much?] Chrollo also wondered, although the cards didn't have too much meaning for them. It was mainly for fun.
[It's probably fine. Even if he runs away with the card, I can find him.]
The next step was to get to the villa in Massadora, the card was about to be used.
Saiki Kusuo took Chrollo and ran towards Massadora.
They had to be back at six o'clock to meet Hisoka and Biscuit.
Saiki Kusuo had already thought it through. He would send a normal invitation to Biscuit. As long as she really became Killua and Gon's master, she would definitely challenge the coast line of one tsubo.
As for Hisoka? Forget about him... Cough, he'd think about Hisoka's solution later.
When they arrived in Massadora, Saiki Kusuo found the Zoldyck family's new villa.
Next door, an old abandoned building was quickly rising from the ground.
Chrollo stroked his chin in amazement that this real house could be "aged" as he wanted.
Saiki Kusuo: Do you have to live in this kind of house next to the Zoldyck's new home?
Can you move a little further away?
The two together look too weird.
"No one can talk about this house. So everyone can't really compare the two houses, right? No one's going to comment, so why do you care?"
Of course he cared. Whether the view from the room window was scenery or trash had a different influence on the Zetsu.

Saiki Kusuo cared a lot about his residence.
For some people, a house may just be a place to sleep, but for Saiki Kusuo, barring accidents, that was a wonderful camp where he would spend 80% of his life.
He didn't want a garbage dump-style house with a very bad environment next to him.
"Okay, it seems like you really have a lot of opinions about my residence," Chrollo said. "I just want to experiment with the effect of this card. Let's keep it like this for a few days. And I won't live here for very long."
While they were chatting, a head suddenly poked out of the window on the second floor of the villa.
"Big Brother Kusuo! That's great, Big Brother's here!"
"Oh! Really, Big Bro! Come up and play! Which room do you want? Big Bro, jump in through the window!"
What are you talking about, Milluki? Who would climb into a house through the window like a thief?
Chrollo: [I wonder if there's anything to eat in the villa.]
Saiki Kusuo then remembered that Chrollo hadn't eaten anything for a long time.
[Oh right, Milluki, at five o'clock, go to the plaza and trade with someone. I used a card to trade with him for some cards that Big Brother wants.] Saiki Kusuo handed over the trade with Tsezguerra to Milluki. He had to ask them to store the cards.
"Oh! I know, Big Bro!" Milluki waved in response. As for Tsezguerra's face? Telepathy could transmit images.
The two entered the house through the front door. As soon as they entered, they saw Hisoka sitting on the sofa in the hall and Illumi standing to the side with his arms folded.
He was careless. He should have gone through the window. The first floor with Hisoka didn't count as home for the time being.
Saiki Kusuo was about to back away, but Chrollo strode up and sat down on the small sofa where no one was sitting and started eating snacks.
"Just in time, Kusuo," Illumi said.
Don't call me to your meetings with people your age.
"Let's settle the score from the card game before," Illumi said.
Oh, there was that.
Although Hisoka lost a lot, he didn't care about his misery: "Hehe, I've already discussed my share with Illumi. How do I need to pay back the Phantom Troupe's share?☆"
Hisoka didn't care about the many rounds he had lost: [6 cards. That's enough for me to wait until Chrollo recovers his Nen, right? Ah~ How wonderful♥ Chrollo~ Let's fight♥]
Where did this excited person come from?
Hisoka sat on the sofa, covering his face with his hands, his fingers bent. If it weren't for the Nen protecting them, the sharp nails of those five fingers might disfigure him.
He licked his lips, and golden eyes gleamed with excitement from between his fingers: [I... made a promise with Illumi.]
"Chrollo still owes me three cards, right?" Illumi tossed his hair behind his ear. "Let's combine them into one. I have a card that I want the Phantom Troupe to get for me."
"Sounds like it'll be difficult," Chrollo smelled the trap.
"No matter how high the difficulty, it's just a card on Greed Island. It's the second most valuable designated card. It can only be used twice. If the Phantom Troupe is interested, you can complete the second use too."
Hisoka played with the card in his hand leisurely: "For the Phantom Troupe, you're about to leave this game, right? Isn't it more interesting to pay off everything at once and challenge the highest difficulty game?"
"Sure, you can tell the members what the card is."
"Don't you need to know?" Illumi said.
"I can't participate anyway, and I can't contact the members. They'll take care of it." Chrollo lowered his head and ate snacks.
Illumi and Hisoka looked at each other. Hisoka tossed out the card without saying a word: "Actually, we still need to collect information. Yesterday I heard information about the card at a party. I made an appointment with an informant to meet at Andoniball at six o'clock."
At that moment, Chrollo finally remembered who he had lied to yesterday.
Hisoka hooked his fingers in circles: "How about I invite you to listen too?"
Chrollo whispered with his mind: [Sure, anyway, you'll go impersonating me alone at 6 PM, Saiki.]
Don't push everything onto me.
While they were talking, Illumi was distracted: "There's something I've been paying attention to. Haven't you guys noticed it?"
Hisoka and Chrollo looked at Illumi.
Illumi said bluntly: "Chrollo, what's that in your pants?"
Speaking of pants, accurately speaking it was the thigh closer to the crotch. There was something pushing up the fabric, making a tent in his pants and climbing elsewhere.
Chrollo quickly grabbed the naughty Chameleon Cat.
"Hmm~ So it's not..." Hisoka's tone was slightly disappointed.
Not what thing. Everyone with eyes should know what that was.
"What is this?" Illumi looked at the gray creature on the table. The Chameleon Cat wasn't very pretty when it wasn't transformed into other creatures. "Is it your rat pet that you depend on for life?"
Big brother, don't slap yourself in the face so quickly.
"Haha, it's a Chameleon Cat..." Chrollo's voice gradually slowed down.
He realized, oh no, he had also used the Chameleon Cat when he was pretending to be Genthru yesterday.
It was too rare for someone to use such a rare card and keep it with them.
Hisoka looked at Chrollo with a lot of suspicion.
Chrollo admitted that it was very suspicious. It was better to change the subject than to explain.
Just as he was about to say something, Illumi poked the Chameleon Cat. The shy cat bared its teeth and put out its claws to threaten it.
The Chameleon Cat actually used its instincts and turned into a transformation it had recently gotten used to.
A red panda.
Okay, completely hopeless.
"Hehehe... It looks like I saw something familiar. Aren't you going to explain it to me, Chrollo... and Kusuo? You must be helping, right?"
Under Illumi's questioning gaze, Saiki Kusuo sighed.
He took the initiative to sit on the long sofa and used his illusions to transform himself into Genthru for three seconds, grabbing a piece of candy, peeling the wrapper, and eating it.
So where should he start?
...
And so on. Saiki Kusuo confessed to Hisoka and Illumi about what had happened last night.
Knowing that the person who provided the task information was Saiki Kusuo in disguise, they revealed all the information.
The minimum number of people to participate in the challenge was 15. Even if the Phantom Troupe went out in full force, it wouldn't be enough.
"Phinks is outside. 7 members of the Phantom Troupe," Illumi said. "5 Zoldycks, 1 Hisoka."
[I'm illegally invading the game, Big Brother. The coastline of one tsubo will face the game GM.]
"Hehehe, then Chrollo can't participate either. No matter how you count it, it's not enough," Hisoka laughed.
Chrollo would die if he participated with the Phantom Troupe.
"Can Nen beasts participate?" Illumi asked.
"Shizuku's weapon shouldn't be considered a 'person'," Chrollo said.
They fell into a brief stalemate.
"It's a bit of a waste to call a few butlers in for this. Do you guys have any extra people you know in the game?" Illumi asked.
What did he mean by extra people? Future potential partners would be sad.
