Episode 104: The most troublesome guy in the class.
『 In another scene,
Saiki Kusuo calmly returned the table and the food on it to their original positions, glancing at Kuniharu Saiki and Kurumi Saiki, and sighed heavily.
He realized that having superpowers meant endless worries.
After all, his parents' bickering and fighting all day weren't great.
The most important thing was that the couple, who deeply loved each other, had been arguing and sulking for a full three years because neither was willing to back down. It was truly bizarre.
"These parents are really troublesome. It's really difficult to stop these nonsensical arguments, but... today, let's put an end to it!"
Saiki Kusuo's expression became unusually serious, and he suddenly turned to Kuniharu Saiki and Kurumi Saiki.
"Let me show you the power of a psychic!!!"
"Forced Heart-to-Heart Connection, Activate!!!"
As Saiki Kusuo finished speaking, Kurumi Saiki and Kuniharu Saiki glared at each other unhappily.
Kurumi Saiki looked at her son, who was siding with Kuniharu Saiki, and said unhappily, "Kusuo, are you also going to stand with your dad?! I've had enough!! You're so annoying!!"
"Whether it's your dad or Kusuo, you two are the ones I hate the most!!!"
Before Kurumi Saiki could finish speaking, a voice suddenly entered everyone's ears.
" That's not true! I actually like you both the most!! "
Kuniharu Saiki roared back, "I'm also the most annoyed with you!! Super annoyed!!!"
Then, another voice slipped into the ears of everyone watching the video.
" Just kidding, it's all fake. Actually, I love you the most! "
"Ah?!"
Kurumi Saiki and Kuniharu Saiki froze in unison, staring at each other foolishly.
"Did you just say you love me?" Kuniharu Saiki looked at Kurumi Saiki with surprise, thinking she no longer liked him.
" What a joke, the mother of my child still loves me!? "
"No, no, no! You said it first!" Kurumi Saiki was momentarily speechless and immediately retorted.
" Oh no, why did I say what I was thinking out loud!! But what's with "mother of my child"? "
"You said it! You said it with your own mouth!" Kuniharu Saiki emphasized loudly.
" Could it be that I love the mother of my child so much that I'm hallucinating!? "
Kurumi Saiki was taken aback, and her heart skipped a beat.
" Love so much!? "
Kuniharu Saiki also sensed something was wrong and tried to mutter in his heart.
" Huh? Can you hear me? "
Kurumi Saiki nodded slightly, a blush rising on her face, and replied, "Mhm..."
" You said out loud... "
"No, I didn't!"
With Kuniharu Saiki's words, the couple finally reacted and immediately turned around in shame and anger to look at Saiki Kusuo. 』

『 Saiki Kusuo sat by the dining table with satisfaction, spooning coffee jelly into his mouth one after another. The sweet taste was simply his little source of happiness.
"KUSUO!!!"
The voices rang out like a duet.
Naturally, the couple's embarrassed shouts were automatically filtered by Saiki Kusuo, who only wanted to focus on enjoying... enjoying his dessert time.
Just then, the scene suddenly changed.
Saiki Kusuo's calm face reappeared, his deep eyes seeming to penetrate the screen and see through everyone watching the video.
" Heart-to-Heart Powerful Transmission is one of my psychic abilities. "
" I just sent mental messages to the two of them and then transmitted them directly to their hearts through me as a relay station. "
" In other words, once I use this ability, their thoughts about each other at this moment will be revealed without reservation! "
This concise explanation made all the viewers clearly understand the power of this ability.
The scene shifted again. Saiki Kusuo was still calmly eating coffee jelly, while Kuniharu Saiki and Kurumi Saiki were shouting with red faces.
"Don't do this!! Kusuo, quickly cancel it! If this continues, my liking for your dad will be completely exposed!"
"I still deeply love the mother of my child, don't let her know!!!"
Immediately after, the style shifted, and Kuniharu Saiki suddenly hugged Kurumi Saiki, the atmosphere of the entire scene changing instantly.
" I love you~ "
" Me too~ "
Saiki Kusuo stared with vacant eyes and swallowed the coffee jelly in his mouth.
"Alright, it's over."
As Saiki Kusuo's words fell, only the couple, tightly embracing and whispering, and Saiki Kusuo, who continued to eat coffee jelly by their side, remained in the scene. 』

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "He's already this proficient with his psychic abilities?" ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Compared to the previous one, this person's power is truly terrifying." ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "There's no comparison at all. One is afraid to use it, while the other is so proficient." ]
[ Saiki Kusuo (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.): "....." ]
[ .....]
『 The scene slowly settled on a warm moment of the family of three laughing and talking, and then Saiki Kusuo's voice sounded again.
This time, Saiki Kusuo's tone was unexpectedly more helpless than before.
"At PK Private Academy Senior High School, there are a total of 542 students, but not a single one knows that I have psychic abilities. After all, once this secret is exposed, it will definitely cause great chaos."
"Of course, this is also related to the fact that I never show my abilities in front of anyone except my parents."
"As for why, the reason... it has to go back to when I was in kindergarten..."
As Saiki Kusuo spoke, the scene changed again.
In the previous scene, Saiki Kusuo was in the crowd of students, and he had already changed into the PK High School uniform.
The next scene showed Saiki Kusuo in his childhood.
He was wearing a kindergarten uniform, with the same indifferent expression on his face. 』

[ Sawamura Eriri (Saekano): "Kawaii!" ]
[ Yukinoshita Yukino (Oregairu): "So, so cute, I want to... cough, never mind." ]
[ Yukinoshita Haruno (Oregairu): "Hehehe." ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "We were talking about them when they grew up, why are we going back to when they were little?" ]
[ Genos (One Punch Man): "Could it be that something happened in his childhood, and that's why he started hiding his psychic abilities?" ]
[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "But why? Wouldn't it be happier to use them?" ]
[ Kusuke Saiki (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.): "So it was that time..." ]
[ .....]
『 As Saiki Kusuo recalled, a young Kusuo appeared in the scene.
He also had that "keep away" expression, with one foot firmly on a ball.
At this moment, Saiki Kusuo's voice-over played in the video.
" That was during kindergarten. I never lost at rock-paper-scissors. "
Saiki Kusuo's words made everyone watching the video stunned. Rock-paper-scissors, what's going on!?
In the scene, Saiki Kusuo looked at his three kindergarten classmates with a cold expression. They were rubbing their hands, seemingly preparing to do something to Saiki Kusuo.
But then...
"Rock, paper... scissors! I win!!"
A little guy suddenly reached out and shouted at Saiki Kusuo, but then he froze.
Because Saiki Kusuo's opponent had the same hand gesture, scissors!
A tie!?
" Kindergarten is a world where strength speaks, a world of the survival of the fittest! "
As soon as this was said, Saiki Kusuo in the video was riding a bicycle, holding a lot of toys and snacks, and wearing a mask on his head.
The other children behind him were crying sadly.
Needless to say, these good things in Saiki Kusuo's hands must have belonged to those children, all because they lost to Saiki Kusuo in rock-paper-scissors.
At this moment, a gentle and beautiful sister appeared in the scene, looking like a kindergarten teacher.
The teacher gently squatted down, a helpless smile appearing on her face. Suppressing her helplessness, she smiled at Saiki Kusuo and said:
"Kusuo, would you like to play rock-paper-scissors with me? If I win, these snacks and toys will be shared with everyone."
The teacher said softly, her tone firm and full of confidence. 』

[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "No need to watch, I already know the outcome." ]
[ Silver Wolf (Honkai: Star Rail): "Just like this, it's too difficult to compete with a psychic." ]
[ Ryuga Banjou (Kamen Rider): "This is almost like cheating." ]
[ Kiryu Sento (Kamen Rider): "Cheating is subjective, but his ability is unconscious, and he's only this young." ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "But it's because of this rock-paper-scissors that he started hiding his psychic abilities?" ]
[ Saiki Kusuo (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.): "Perhaps, you could say that." ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Caught the main character!" ]
[ Taihei Doma (Himouto): "He's already appeared several times, Umaru..." ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): (Himouto): "Ah? Is, is that so.." ]

『 Then... Rock versus paper, Saiki Kusuo won.
"How about a best of three?" The teacher's lips twitched slightly, and she forced a smile.
Then...
Scissors versus rock, Saiki Kusuo won again;
"Uh... then let's decide the winner in ten rounds." The teacher's eyebrows raised, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
Later...
Paper versus scissors, Saiki Kusuo was still the winner;
"How about, let's decide the winner in a hundred rounds? Teacher, just need to win once, okay?" The teacher said this with a grim expression, gritting her teeth.
After a hundred rounds...
Saiki Kusuo walked towards the slide with his head held high and a confident stride.
Behind him, the unlucky teacher knelt on the ground with hollow eyes, as if she had lost her soul.
"I... I couldn't win even a single round..."
" I didn't go easy on the teacher either. In the end, I won all 296 games with 0 losses! "
" From the next day, the teacher never came to kindergarten again... "
In the scene, the teacher, who had lost her passion for life, pulled her suitcase and walked away.
Everyone watching the video fell silent. They could understand how devastated the teacher was.
After all, even for them, the so-called strong, if they played a hundred rounds of rock-paper-scissors with a child and didn't win a single game, their mentality would have collapsed long ago.
" So from then on, I decided not to use my psychic abilities in public. "
" If I really need to use them, I will definitely make sure no one is around before acting. " 』

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "This teacher is so pitiful. Did she really resign for this reason?" ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Without knowing the other party had psychic abilities." ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Losing so many times in a simple game of rock-paper-scissors, it's already difficult not to have a breakdown." ]
[ Ai Hoshino (Oshi no ko): "Such a pitiful teacher." ]
[ .....]
『 The scene switched back to the school auditorium. Saiki Kusuo looked forward expressionlessly, and everyone watching the video felt like he was staring at them through the screen.
" To find out who is nearby, I use telepathy. The effective range is two hundred meters. No one can escape my telepathy. "
The narration said so, and the camera slowly zoomed out. Noisy sounds came from the scene.
At this moment, everyone watching the video was stunned. It was hard for them to imagine how Saiki Kusuo lived his daily life, after all...
He mentioned that he couldn't control this telepathy. In other words, he was forced to listen to countless people's inner thoughts every day.
One person was fine, but if dozens or hundreds of people's thoughts were mixed together, it would become a cacophony that would drive one mad.
And Saiki Kusuo had lived in such a state for so long.
Many people felt a sense of admiration for Saiki Kusuo on the screen.
Putting aside everything else, his state of mind alone was enough to make many people deeply respect him.
After all...
He hadn't gone mad!
But then, the scene in the video seemed to be a slap in the face from Saiki Kusuo himself.
A pair of large hands covered Saiki Kusuo's eyes, followed by a rough voice.
"Guess who I am!"
Saiki Kusuo seemed completely unprepared, his vision covered by his hands. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to his previous boast that "no one can escape his telepathy."
At this time, Saiki Kusuo's narration sounded again.
" It should have been, but there was one person whom my telepathy could not detect. "
" ??? "
" Saiki: "Who is this person? Could it be a more powerful psychic?" "
In the scene, a man with an incredibly ugly appearance greeted them loudly in his rough voice.
"Hey, bro, what's up!!"
His chin, which looked like a butt, was particularly prominent and unsightly, drastically lowering his appearance score by who knows how many levels.
" Riki Nendou, the most troublesome guy in the class. He always sticks with me, but that's not the point. The point is, I can't figure out what this guy is thinking. "
" Everyone must have some thoughts, right? I can guess the thoughts of even small animals with about 80% accuracy, but this guy, I can't understand him at all. "
" Of course, I found the answer soon after... "
Then, the following words came from the video.
" The reason is simple: this guy is a big dummy! His mind is empty, he doesn't think about anything! "
" What a terrifying guy, Riki Nendou! " 』

[ Rimuru (Tensura): "Good method. The best way to deal with this is to think of nothing." ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "So, it's that simple to think of nothing?" ]
[ Ronoroa Zoro (One Piece): "Is this state of 'no self' luck, or foolishness?" ]
[ .....]
『 Just as Saiki Kusuo finished introducing Riki Nendou, he blurted out, "Oh dear, oh dear, although this guy is an idiot, he's actually not a bad person. After all..."
Bang!
Suddenly!
A high school boy with green hair on his head fell to the ground with a thud, looking distressed.
A girl next to him screamed in fright.
Everyone else backed away, only Riki Nendou rushed forward.
"Hey!!! What's wrong with you!!!"
Riki Nendou's loud voice almost shattered everyone's eardrums.
Everyone stared with wide eyes, looking straight at Riki Nendou in the scene as he picked up the dizzy high school student.
Immediately after...
He started shaking him violently!!!
"No air!! No air!!"
"Hey!! Say something!" 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless World 』
The audience watching the video was so shocked by Riki Nendou's series of actions that their jaws almost dropped.
Who would have thought that this guy could be so foolish!!
