Fifth floor of the mall, the movie theater.
Illumi holds the movie tickets: "Five premiere tickets for Inside and Out. I didn't expect Milluki to buy couple seats."
"I thought they were better single seats... Damn it!" Milluki says.
Saiki Kusuo is quiet. How are we going to sit? Like a bunch of old men, one person taking up two seats? Like a king?
It's pretty good, spacious. For me, it's fine as long as I'm not bothered.
"It's a bit of a waste. Originally, the people watching the movie were Kusuo, Milluki, Achi, Kurapika, and me. Five double seats. Now what, are we all going to watch?" Illumi shakes the movie tickets.
"Dad, Mom, do you want to come watch? Couple seats." Killua suggests.
"Spend some time with the kids once in a while, Silva. Your great-grandfather and I won't go." Zeno strokes his beard.
"A group of five, Achi and Kurapika in one group, Mom and Dad in one group..." Milluki counts on his fingers, "Then big brother gets one seat, and I'll sit with older brother!" Milluki figures it out.
Saiki Kusuo: I want to sit alone too. Why aren't Killua and Illumi sitting together? Killua might not know this, but I guarantee Illumi will be happy.
It's ten minutes before the movie is about to start. The kids quickly run to the front desk and quickly run back. Killua and Milluki are holding five super-large buckets of popcorn, Kurapika is carrying several cups of coke, and Illumi is waiting for them at the back of the line.
Milluki shoves a box of ice cream into Saiki Kusuo's hand, and he himself, standing in the back holding two buckets of popcorn, starts eating.
Saiki Kusuo is the first in the Zoldyck group. The others are behind him.
Saiki Kusuo looks up, seeing a row of muscles in front of him.
So why are there three tough-looking guys in front of me who are so different from everyone else? Oh, and there's a little girl next to them.
If the little girl wasn't holding onto one of the men's clothes, I'd worry that these people were kidnapping her.
"I never thought the day would come when I could go to the movies with so much family. It's super great!"
The young man with the steak hair, his hair even shakes like pudding when he talks.
"I still can't believe it, distant relatives like this..."
Another young man's hairstyle is like a doughnut, and his Nen color is yellow, making him look even sweeter.
"What I didn't expect most is that Jotaro-san's daughter is super cute! She's nothing like Jotaro-san!" The cheerful guy with steak hair bows to say hello.
"Great-uncle is nothing like my dad!" The little girl peeks out from behind the man in all white, called Jotaro, and sticks out her tongue in response.
Laughter fills the air. The last man, called Jotaro, pulls down his hat: "Yare yare..."
Yare yare, I want to say that too. The unique thing about these three people isn't just their build and style, it's their personalities. Their personalities are too distinct.
Being around such unusual people for too long will affect my little bit of normal life that's left.
The only normal one is the little girl with green hair.
The little girl seems to sense something and looks back, her eyes quickly fixed on the small ice cream in Saiki Kusuo's hand.
Her eyes seem to be sparkling.
It's much easier to understand children's thoughts than adults'. I don't need telepathy to know she wants the ice cream.
But that's not going to happen. This is my treasure. Tell your dad to buy you one. Well, if you buy one now, you'll have to leave your spot and wait in line again. It's probably too late.
There are quite a few people here for the premiere. It should be full.
The little girl's reaction is noticed. Jotaro pulls down his hat and glances at Saiki Kusuo, his gaze landing on the ice cream in Saiki Kusuo's hand.
Jotaro reaches into his pocket and pulls out two bills.
Oh? I'm not someone who can be tempted by money. Even if you give me enough money to buy five ice creams, I won't give up the ice cream in my hand. The food in my hand is the hardest to part with.
Who would have thought that this person named Jotaro would flick his fingers, holding the bills in the air.
A purple muscle man appears in mid-air.
?!
Even Saiki Kusuo is shocked. This is also Nen?
The purple muscle man, who seems invisible to everyone else, takes the bills with his ability and floats away. He comes back holding four ice creams, giving everyone one.
Yare yare, there are people who create Nen like this to do chores for themselves.
It's pretty convenient. Can I have one?
"Older brother, older brother, older brother, help me hold one!"
Saiki Kusuo looks down, helping Milluki pick up the popcorn.
Next to him, Illumi gives 3D glasses to his younger brothers. They start letting people in, and everyone enters in an orderly fashion.
Saiki Kusuo really hopes those tough guys don't sit in front of them and block their view. He just used his vision to see that they're also watching Inside and Out.
By the time they enter the theater, the second-to-last row is already occupied. The seats in front of Saiki Kusuo don't have tall figures. The height of the heads doesn't even go past the back of the chairs. It's kids.
Saiki Kusuo is relieved.
Saiki Kusuo wants to go to the bathroom.
The movie has just started, but it's okay. These kinds of movies always start slowly. He just needs to go quickly and come back quickly.
Saiki Kusuo leaves his seat.
In the bathroom stall, he's just entered and closed the door when he hears a conversation.
"Superpowers should not be used on people."
"Superpowers are not needed by people at all..."
Saiki Kusuo: ...
Suddenly mentioning superpowers, he, who is using superpowers almost whenever he's awake, feels like he's being called out.
Saiki Kusuo turns his head, and using his see-through eyes, he sees two boys talking in the next stall. The one saying that superpowers aren't necessary is a black-haired watermelon-head boy. His eyes look a little blank, but are 100% sincere.
So why are they chatting in the bathroom?
Saiki Kusuo silently turns his head away. If we're talking about not using superpowers, he had already automatically used see-through vision one second after looking at the wall. His superpowers are a natural nuisance. It's not a Nen ability that you can just choose not to use.
That kid is probably a natural Nen user. Very good idea. I support you. Superpowers are just an unnecessary skill for ordinary people.
Saiki Kusuo calmly finishes using the bathroom, comes out, and washes his hands. A grown-up rushes in, bumping into his shoulder as he passes.
"Ah, sorry kid, really sorry..."
[It's okay.] Saiki Kusuo waves it off, but after looking at the other person for just one second, he sees that there's another face under his face. It's a very thin human skin mask. Looking at the bag in his hand again, it contains the parts of a gun that need to be put together.
Great, how can there be someone like this in the movie theater? Did I come to watch a movie or to join a spy movie?
Wait, that makes sense. That person must be an actor, right? There seems to have been a spy movie that came out recently. He came to cosplay the main character for promotion!
Suddenly, a white kitten runs past his feet. Saiki Kusuo looks down and sees five of them. Looking closely, there's a faint "King" character on top of each "cat's" head.
...These are, tigers.
"Master, the little tigers... they can't be here, right? It says no pets allowed here..." A white-haired little boy says timidly.
"It's okay, Go-hote-tai. We'll leave soon." A person in clothing that's clearly not modern says, "More important than the little tigers is that the swords aren't seen..."
Saiki Kusuo is quiet, lifts his foot, and quickly leaves.
Don't panic. This must also be cosplay. Sushi can appear in the Hunter Exam, so cosplay appearing in the movie theater is also perfectly normal.
