Episode 103: Discuss the status relationship with the Saiki family
『 The scene abruptly shifted, and the familiar living room reappeared before everyone's eyes.
"You changed the lock again!!!!"
In the living room, Kuniharu roared indignantly.
Saiki Kurumi, on the other hand, smiled as she watched Saiki Kusuo walk in and said softly, "Kusuo, welcome home~~"
Clearly, she completely ignored Kuniharu.
This scene made countless people sympathize with Saiki Kuniharu in the video.
What kind of man was this? His status at home was truly too low!
No, to be precise...
He had no family status at all.
After all...
The lock on the front door was changed, and he had to wait until he got home to discover it.
This guy was truly pathetic!!! 』

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "This guy is so pathetic." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "As a father, he doesn't even know the door lock at home has been changed and has to rely on his superpowered son to open the door for him." ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Exactly, exactly, my Onii-chan is the best!" ]
[ Taihei Doma (Himouto): "You ah....." ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Hehehe, because Umaru relies on Onii-chan now." ]
[ Kogoro Mouri (Detective Conan): "This guy, as the head of the family, has too little manly spirit!" ]
[ Ran Mouri (Detective Conan): "Dad, would you dare say that in front of Mom?" ]
[ Kogoro Mouri (Detective Conan): "...." ]
[ Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan): "Hahaha! Useless old man!" ]
[ Kogoro Mouri (Detective Conan):: " ( ?｀Д? ) " ]
[ Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan): "Ouch, ouch, ouch!!" ]
[ Kogoro Mouri (Detective Conan): "You brat, I can still beat you up to vent my anger." ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "By the way, you are at your own home, why aren't you talking, but here?" ]
[ Kogoro Mouri (Detective Conan): "That's right~!" ]
[ Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan): "Why did you hit me again!" ]
[ Kogoro Mouri (Detective Conan): "Oh, it was just on impulse...." ]
[ Utaha Kasumigaoka (Saekano): "Interesting~" ]

『 In the video, Saiki Kusuo watched Saiki Kusuo and Saiki Kurumi bickering with a blank expression, his entire being exceptionally calm, as if he wasn't worried at all about any problems arising in his parents' relationship.
Immediately after, a familiar narration voice sounded.
" Where did the sweet couple from back then go? "
Following Saiki Kusuo's narration, the screen showed Saiki Kurumi and Saiki Kuniharu holding hands, a scene full of affection.
This sudden "dog food" made everyone watching the video feel incredibly sweet and cloyingly overwhelmed!
" In the past, their love burned so passionately. "
As soon as the voice fell, the scene cut back to the two of them arguing in the living room.
"The degree to which I'm angry with you could reach the Tokyo Skytree!!!"
"The person I detest most in the entire universe is you!!!"
Looking at the couple grabbing each other's collars on the screen, the audience couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
Were these really the same affectionate couple who were so sickeningly sweet before?
"Now, they've gotten 'warm' in a different way..."
As Saiki Kusuo spoke, the scene changed abruptly.
In the blink of an eye, Saiki Kusuo was already sitting at the dining table, holding chopsticks and a rice bowl, with a plate of incredibly tempting tonkatsu and miso soup in front of him.
"Dinner time~~"
Saiki Kurumi called out.
Tonight's dinner looked super appetizing!
Who would have thought that even though the couple argued fiercely, Saiki Kurumi's dinner was not at all perfunctory?
Everyone watched this scene in surprise.
At this moment, the camera slowly moved to Saiki Kuniharu.
And placed in front of him was a leather shoe drizzled with black pepper sauce... Inside the shoe was a bowl of rice emitting a strange smell.
The chopsticks were inserted into the rice, looking exactly like an offering.
Saiki Kuniharu in the picture immediately shouted when he saw it.
"Hey!!! What the hell are you doing!!!! Why does Kusuo have tonkatsu rice, and I get a leather shoe!!!"
Saiki Kuniharu vented all his anger at the top of his lungs.
On the other side, Saiki Kurumi completely ignored him, smiling as she looked at Saiki Kusuo and asked, "Kusuo, is it delicious?"
"Hey!!!"
Following Saiki Kuniharu's roar, Saiki Kurumi seemed to notice his presence only then and said with a smile:
"Honey, there's more after you finish~"
Hearing his wife's words, Saiki Kuniharu immediately shouted back: "Who wants to eat it!!! Anyway, the next thing you'll make me eat is the other leather shoe, right!!!"
With that, this "head of the household," who appeared dignified but actually had low status, turned his gaze to Saiki Kusuo, who was calmly eating next to him.
At this moment, Saiki Kusuo had no interest in the disputes between people.
His attitude was as if to say,
" "You guys argue, I'll just watch the show." "
Then...
"Kusuo~~ Can you use your superpower to turn this into tonkatsu rice for me?"
Saiki Kuniharu said shyly and coyly to Saiki Kusuo, holding the shoe-rice emitting an unpleasant odor.
Eating shoe-rice was absolutely out of the question!
But the only one who could cook at home was Saiki Kurumi, and asking her to make another one was almost impossible. Therefore, Saiki Kuniharu, the "head of the household," had to turn to Saiki Kusuo, who could help.
Saiki Kuniharu pouted, his expression looking quite improper, showing no sign of the demeanor expected of a head of household.
Saiki Kusuo, on the other hand, continued to eat with a calm expression, paying no attention to Saiki Kuniharu.
At this moment, Saiki Kusuo's inner voice sounded again.
" This useless person is my dad, Saiki Kuniharu. He's casual, lazy, and often acts spoiled towards me. I usually just ignore his requests. "
Hearing this inner monologue, coupled with Saiki Kusuo's indifferent refusal expression in the picture, made many viewers unable to help but laugh.
And the narration became even more scathing.
" If I indulge him, he'll probably become even more useless. "
Soon...
Saiki Kuniharu, who kept calling Saiki Kusuo's name, his expression quickly fell, and he looked dejected.
Then...
"What is it!! Are you on your mom's side!!! The money for your food was earned by me begging my boss in a low voice!!!"
Saiki Kuniharu scolded loudly, as if his heart was completely broken by his son's indifference.
And Saiki Kusuo, still with a peaceful expression, ate his tonkatsu rice.
But before the bewildered crowd,
A scene of Saiki Kuniharu subserviently licking shoes at work was inserted into the picture.
Suddenly, Saiki Kusuo's image also appeared in the video. He looked straight ahead with a blank expression, as if he could see every viewer through the screen.
"This is my dad, at work."
As Saiki Kusuo spoke,
Saiki Kuniharu in the picture licked his shoe and said, "Wow~~ shoes really have a different flavor!!" 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless World 』
Seeing this, countless people felt as if black lines had crawled all over their heads.
Why did this psychic's dad look so unreliable...
Many people also understood why Saiki Kusuo refused Saiki Kuniharu's request.
After all...
Excessive dependence can indeed make people lose the motivation to move forward.
.....
『 When Saiki Kuniharu realized that Saiki Kusuo would not help, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Fine!!! I'll eat it myself!!!"
With that, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.
"Yuck!! It's so smelly!!!"
However, as soon as he tasted it, the smell made Saiki Kuniharu unable to help but spit it out. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless World 』
But this scene was simply astonishing to many viewers.
They never expected Saiki Kuniharu to actually dare to swallow the rice in the leather shoe!
Instantly, many people felt nauseous and sick.
.....
『 Saiki Kusuo probably didn't expect his dad to actually eat it. Seeing him so uncomfortable and unwell, he sighed helplessly and raised his hand.
However..
"Kusuo~~ Your ability isn't for things like this, you know."
Saiki Kurumi stopped Saiki Kusuo with a smile, but there seemed to be an unignorable sharpness hidden in this smile.
At this moment, Saiki Kusuo's narration reappeared, introducing his mother to everyone.
" This is my mom, Saiki Kurumi. "
Saiki Kurumi held Saiki Kusuo's hand tightly and said gently, "Kusuo's ability is meant to help people in need, and those who are kind."
Accompanying Saiki Kurumi's words, Saiki Kusuo's narration sounded again.
" That I can possess this power without losing my way is largely because she has always been by my side. She is a gentle and steady mother. " 』
『 .....』
~Dimensional livestream, Chat Room~
[ Genos (One Punch Man): "This is truly a great mother." ]
[ Yukinoshita Yukino (Oregairu): "Even though her own child possesses such powerful abilities, she doesn't utilize them for certain things. Perhaps this is also the good fortune of this world where Saiki-kun resides." ]
[ Xiangling (Genshin Impact): "Indeed, a great mother." ]
[ .....]
『 But as soon as the words fell, the scene in front of them changed drastically.
The atmosphere behind Saiki Kurumi instantly became gloomy and terrifying, and even a smile filled with intense killing intent appeared on her face.
"It's also to punish your dad and let him taste death!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a harsh slap, completely negating everything that had just been said in the narration.
" But well, today the situation seems a bit different. "
At this moment in the video, Saiki Kuniharu took advantage of the moment Saiki Kurumi and Saiki Kusuo were talking to stuff his mouth with Saiki Kusuo's tonkatsu rice.
The crunching sound immediately caught Saiki Kurumi's attention.
She slowly turned her head, witnessed Saiki Kuniharu's actions, and immediately her forehead veins bulged,
"Oh my!"
Saiki Kurumi's eyes disappeared, replaced by a face as cold as a demon!
"You guys, why are you stealing someone else's food!! If you have the guts, go fight outside!!" 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless World 』
This sudden shift in style stunned all the viewers, who widened their eyes and stared at the furious Saiki Kurumi on the screen.
It was truly unimaginable that this person was the same as the gentle and elegant woman before.
As expected, a woman's mood is like the weather, changing as it pleases!
.....
『 Then.... The couple on the screen started arguing just like that.
And Saiki Kusuo? He sat aside, watching coldly.
"Stopping this argument is easy for me," Saiki Kusuo conveyed calmly with telekinesis, but his words were one thing, and his actions showed no intention of stopping. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless World 』
This made the viewers' mouths twitch, wondering how Saiki Kusuo could remain so calm when his parents were arguing so fiercely. Did he not worry about his parents divorcing?
Oh?
Forgot, he's a psychic?
Then it's fine...
.....
『 Saiki Kusuo spoke again, "But this is their business, hmm... Coffee Jelly?!"
As he spoke, Saiki Kusuo suddenly noticed a dessert called coffee jelly in front of him and was immediately attracted.
At this moment, a line of subtitles quietly appeared below Saiki Kusuo.
" Saiki Kusuo's irresistible food: Coffee Jelly (Saiki liked it) "
The moment he saw the coffee jelly.
Saiki Kusuo completely ignored his parents, who were fighting fiercely right beside him, and opened the coffee jelly package in front of him, savoring it with a look of intoxication!
He blissfully scooped a spoonful of jelly into his mouth, his face showing an indescribable look of enjoyment.
And behind him, two adults were fighting fiercely.
Yes, it was a physical struggle, and those with wandering thoughts should go to the wall.
Saiki Kusuo even advertised the coffee jelly while eating it.
" "Rich coffee bean aroma, pure flavor sealed in this elegant packaging, combined with the unexpected encounter with milk, creates a unique taste, truly a sinfully luxurious enjoyment." "
As Saiki Kusuo's narration continued, the battle between Saiki Kuniharu and Saiki Kurumi behind him had reached its climax.
Saiki Kurumi actually lifted Saiki Kuniharu, making it hard to believe that a woman could possess such divine strength.
Saiki Kuniharu, on the other hand, was struggling and screaming incessantly.
In an instant, the enraged Saiki Kurumi violently threw Saiki Kuniharu, who crashed directly behind Saiki Kusuo.
Bang!!
Saiki Kusuo's eyes widened, staring intently at the dropped spoonful of coffee jelly!
In zero-point-zero-zero-zero-one seconds, he quickly made a choice between catching the person or the jelly!!
Boom!!!
Perfect catch!!!
Saiki Kusuo's face was filled with satisfaction as he accurately caught the coffee jelly in his mouth.
As for Saiki Kuniharu?
He was thrown to the side and wasn't lightly injured!
Saiki Kuniharu staggered to his feet, looking at Saiki Kusuo in shock, thinking his son would come to save him!
But in the end...
He, as a father, was not as important as a piece of coffee jelly!!
"You want to eat it that badly?!"
Saiki Kuniharu's heart was shattered. He never expected Saiki Kusuo not to let go of even such a small piece of jelly!!
But soon, Saiki Kuniharu seemed to remember something and hurriedly shouted, "Fool!! There's no time to eat!! Look!! What your mom looks like now!!!" 』

[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "Fortunately, my... other real self's irresponsible dad isn't like this, although he doesn't seem like a good person either." ]
[ Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): "Kiana, you don't have to be like this. You are your true self, and your future self has already accepted it, right?" ]
[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "..." ]
[ Himeko Murata (Honkai: Impact Third): "Alright, Mei, take Kiana to the Principal's office." ]
[ Raiden Mei (Honkai: Impact Third): "Okay!" ]
[ .....]
『 The camera turned to Saiki Kurumi, her face contorted, like a demon crawling out of hell!!
At this very moment, the art style changed drastically. Facing Saiki Kurumi, Saiki Kuniharu felt like he was on the battlefield, saying to Saiki Kusuo next to him, "Stop her, Kusuo!! She's not the mom you know anymore!!"
Because in Saiki Kuniharu's mind at this moment, his wife seemed to be truly possessed by a demon.
"Make a move!! Save your mom!!!"
Saiki Kurumi grabbed the table and violently threw it towards Saiki Kuniharu and Saiki Kusuo!!!
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
Seeing the flying table, Saiki Kuniharu closed his eyes tightly and screamed in fear.
However, after a long time, the expected pain did not come. He hesitantly opened his eyes and found that the table and the food on it were eerily suspended a few centimeters from his nose.
"What a hassle..."
Saiki Kusuo sighed and raised his hand slightly.
It was he who used his psychic powers to freeze the table.
After all..
I!
Saiki Kusuo!
Am a psychic!! 』
