[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "Heh heh, a complete world." ]

[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "It looks really quite good." ]

[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "Five hundred years of time cannot compare to this reward." ]

[ Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): "Grandpa, are you okay?" ]

[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "I’m fine." ]

[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "However, since my future self has passed this position to you, my dear granddaughter, it’s time for me to do the same." ]

[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "Huh?" ]

[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "What’s going on?" ]

[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "Our world hasn’t even begun, why does it feel like everything is coming to an end?" ]

[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "Heh heh, is it that big of a deal if I’m just gone?" ]

[ Tesla (Honkai: Impact Third): "But, but are you going to escape like this after all you’ve done?" ]

[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "I only did what I wanted to do. I don’t need your commentary. Do as you please." ]

[ Walter Yang (Honkai: Star Rail): "Alright, if Mr. Otto is willing to step down, that’s all the better. I believe Theresa can do it."]

[ Walter Yang (Honkai: Star Rail): "I have full confidence in Theresa."]

[ Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): "No, did you even ask for my opinion on this, Grandpa?" ]

[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "Of course not now. I will only go when I am fully prepared." ]

[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "At the very least, I, as your grandfather, must personally prepare the things for your coronation."]

[ Himeko Murata (Honkai: Impact Third): "Does that mean I’ve also gotten a promotion? Theresa is the Bishop, so can we also move up?" ]

[ Rita (Honkai: Impact Third): "Of course, Miss Himeko Murata" ]

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "That’s great, everything is a happy ending~" ]

[ Mashiro Shiina (Sakurasou): "It should have been a tragic future, and now it has become a perfect grand finale." ]

[ Sawamura Eriri (Saekano): "Congratulations."]

[ Durandal (Honkai: Impact Third): "Does this mean today is the Bishop’s new birthday? So we should celebrate?" ]

[ Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): "Grandpa’s birthday, it should count, right..." ]

[ Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): "Heh heh, but the most important thing is to prepare for Theresa’s enthronement ceremony." ]

[ Saiki Kusuo (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K): "???" ]

[ Ryuga Banjou (Kamen Rider): "Esper? Didn’t we already talk about that extra character before? Is it him again this time?" ]

[ Genos (One Punch Man): "It should... not be, right?" ]

[ .....]

『 The live stream begins..

In the beginning, that familiar voice sounded again, almost devoid of emotional fluctuation.

My name is Saiki Kusuo, and I am an Esper.

As he spoke, a young man suddenly appeared on the screen. His pink hair was particularly striking, and he wore small hair clips on both sides of his head. He wore green glasses and stared straight ahead with a blank expression.

Sixteen years ago, a perfectly ordinary couple gave birth to a boy, but this child was no ordinary child.

The camera turned, and a smiling couple came into view. In their arms, a cradle held a sleeping infant, the young Saiki Kusuo.

Immediately after, Saiki Kusuo’s parents peeked in, looking at him sleeping in the crib with gentle eyes.

So cute, second only to Mom’s beauty!

So cute, second only to Dad’s handsomeness!

But at this moment,

Saiki Kusuo, who had just been born, suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of drool from his sleep on his lips.

Hmm... I’m the second cutest?

Suddenly!

Saiki Kusuo: "spoke," his mouth not moving, but his voice came through unusually clearly from the screen. 』

『 .....』

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "???" ]

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "He didn’t even open his mouth, where did the voice come from?" ]

[ Mashiro Shiina (Sakurasou): "He had psychic powers from birth?" ]

[ Saitama (One Punch Man): "Amazing, such a young child, and already this powerful," ]

[ Tatsumaki (One Punch Man): "Even though he’s just a child..."]

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "This child is terrifyingly powerful!" ]

[ Yukinoshita Haruno (Oregairu):: "....." ]

[ .....]

『 Not only were the viewers of the video astonished, but the couple in the video was also shocked.

He spoke!? Kusuo’s voice just echoed in my mind!?

Really! It’s so magical!!

At this moment, the narrator’s voice intervened appropriately.

" I could speak at just fourteen days old, and without moving my mouth. "

As the narration faded, the scene changed.

Saiki Kusuo’s mother applauded with joy, shouting, "Good job! Good job!"

The camera slowly followed the direction of her gaze.

Saiki Kusuo, with a somber expression and a hint of confusion in his eyes, walked forward step by step.

But what was surprising was—

He was walking in mid-air!

Even more incredibly, I could walk shortly after my full moon, and in mid-air... 』

『 .....』

~Dimensional livestream, Chat Room~

[ Tatsumaki (One Punch Man): "Is this telekinesis or flight ability?" ]

[ .....]

『 The scene in front of them changed again.

This time, the narrator spoke leisurely.

" When this child turned one year old... "

On the screen, Saiki Kusuo’s mother, busy in the kitchen, stood up with a naturally oblivious expression, saying with a troubled look:

"Oh dear, we’re out of cooking sake."

Behind her, Saiki Kusuo in the living room was making a toy car float in mid-air. Upon hearing his mother’s words,

Whoosh!

He vanished from his spot in the blink of an eye!

However, after only two seconds, Saiki Kusuo reappeared.

This time, his location was by the kitchen sink.

Along with his appearance, there were dozens of bottles of cooking sake!

"Kusuo?"

Everyone stared at Saiki Kusuo’s mother’s reaction. Such an extraordinary event would surely shock ordinary people!

But the result was...

"Oh my! My little Kusuo knows how to buy things for his mom, it’s so touching!!!"

At this moment, the narrator’s voice sounded on the screen again.

" After experiencing all sorts of incredible things, even my mother began to have doubts. " 』

『 .....』

Hearing the narrator’s words, the viewers on the screen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, even the most naturally oblivious ordinary person would eventually feel something was wrong.

『 Then, the narrator continued.

" Ordinary parents might take their child to the hospital or a research institute, but as it turns out, his parents are not ordinary! "

In the image

Saiki Kusuo’s mother, Kurumi Saiki, after cheering for Saiki Kusuo’s errand-running, suddenly froze. She quickly called her husband, Saiki Kusuo’s father, Kuniharu Saiki.

"Oh my! What’s going on? So much cooking sake!?"

As soon as Kuniharu Saiki entered the living room and saw the dozen bottles of cooking sake on the counter, his face instantly changed.

Kurumi Saiki looked worriedly at Kuniharu Saiki, holding Saiki Kusuo, and explained the whole story.

Instantly, the couple’s expressions changed. 』

『 .....』

Watching this scene, the viewers thought they would probably take the child to the hospital or something.

『 But it turned out...

At this moment, Kurumi Saiki in the image said with a worried expression:

"Kusuo must have taken them secretly. How could he do such a thing?"

Kurumi Saiki looked at Saiki Kusuo with a heavy heart. She didn’t want her child to become a thief.

Kuniharu Saiki sighed and offered a suggestion: "Tomorrow, we’ll take him to the supermarket... and tell the store owner, we’ll pay for the cooking sake."

As Kuniharu Saiki finished speaking, the narration sounded again.

" They didn’t care at all. "

Then, the scene shifted to a harmonious family of three.

Kurumi Saiki smiled and gently tapped Saiki Kusuo’s little head while Saiki Kusuo held the receipt from buying the cooking sake.

Kurumi Saiki casually said, "Ah~ Kusuo is a psychic~"

Kuniharu Saiki looked at Kurumi Saiki with loving eyes and playfully teased,

"He must have inherited his mother’s excellent genes~"

Immediately after, the narration is inserted again.

" These absent-minded parents were naturally carefree, so they accepted all of this without question. "

Following this was the playback of Saiki Kusuo’s growth process.

" At the age of two "

Whoosh!

Saiki Kusuo calmly handed Kuniharu Saiki a very realistic portrait.

This is a birthday gift for Dad.

" At the age of three "

Saiki Kusuo, with a poker face, played baseball with his dad, hitting the ball to the moon with a gentle swing.

This was their parent-child outdoor activity time. 』

『 .....』

~Dimensional livestream, Chat Room~

[ Genos (One Punch Man): "I... have nothing more to say." ]

[ Genos (One Punch Man): "In terms of power, he seems stronger than that extra character from before." ]

[ Saitama (One Punch Man): "Yeah, amazing, such a small guy." ]

[ Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan): "Playing baseball, and hitting it straight to the moon, this kind of ability....." ]

[ .....]

『 Saiki Kusuo grew older in the image...

The narrator leisurely spoke again.

" Time flew by "

" That young man, that’s me. "

In the frame, the young man from the beginning reappeared. He was carrying his schoolbag with one hand, strolling down the street.

" I have now entered high school. As you can see, I still possess my extraordinary abilities. "

Accompanying the narrator’s voice, Saiki Kusuo on the screen lightly raised a finger, and the car speeding down the road instantly soared into the air, saving a small dog that was almost crushed.

The dog’s owner was stunned, looking up at the small car spinning in mid-air with a surprised expression.

" Bending spoons effortlessly, without touching them "

" Wanting to win the lottery, the prize is easily obtained "

" As long as my wishes come true, this world, my life can be like a dream. "

But at this moment, Saiki Kusuo, walking on the street, suddenly turned his head. His calm gaze seemed to penetrate the screen, directly looking into the hearts of every viewer.

And nearby, loud shouts suddenly erupted.

" If you think that, you’re dead wrong!!! "

" Bending spoons!? That would make eating curry a difficult battle! "

" Winning whatever I want? No, eating too much would definitely upset my stomach! "

" Born with everything, becoming the happiest man in the world? "

" Heh heh... Don’t joke around! "

" I have lost everything, I am the unhappiest man in the world! "

Saiki Kusuo continued to walk calmly down the bustling street.

" Clairvoyance, telepathy, X-ray vision, teleportation... these abilities make me omnipotent, but as the saying goes, what you gain, you must also lose! "

" But along with this series of bestowals, it also means that I have lost many things. "

" Just like how a dog, once domesticated, will no longer learn to forage for itself. "

" Just like how over-pampering a child will take away their ability to be self-reliant. "

" I have also lost many things. "

" The sense of accomplishment from achieving a goal, the surprise from a surprise party, I can no longer feel them. "

" I have neither anger nor sadness, nor joy or happiness. "

" This is my life. "

" However, as things stand, I don’t feel dissatisfied with anything. A stable life seems pretty good too. "

Just as everyone was curious about what other thoughts Saiki Kusuo might have.

Saiki Kusuo suddenly changed his expression. A hint of helplessness flashed across his peaceful face... 』

[ Nobita Nobi (Doraemon): "This guy is so detestable. He already has such powerful psychic abilities; why does he say he’s an unfortunate person?" ]

[ Doraemon (Doraemon): "Didn’t he explain it later? Because he lost his sense of accomplishment." ]

[ Nobita Nobi (Doraemon): "Ah, hahaha, I didn’t see that, hahaha." ]

[ Lucy Heartfilia (Fairy Tail): "The things this psychic uses are even more powerful than our magic." ]

[ Lucy Heartfilia (Fairy Tail): "And it feels like he has an advantage in all aspects." ]

[ Ainz Ooal Gown (Overlord): "Could it be that this world also has a psychic evil organization like the previous Extra character’s world?" ]

[ .....]

『 Because in the current video.

Saiki saw a man squatting alone by his doorstep.

This person was Saiki Kusuo’s father, Kuniharu Saiki.

"Wow!? You’re back! Kusuo!! Why are you so late today?"

Kuniharu Saiki’s face bloomed with a radiant smile, his previous dejected expression completely gone.

"Dad, what are you doing by the door?"

Saiki Kusuo’s expression was exceptionally calm, accustomed to his father’s unreliability.

Hearing his son’s words, Kuniharu Saiki adjusted his glasses, a confident smile curling at the corner of his lips, and said, "Help me out, Kusuo..."

He then pointed to the door.

"Can you help me open the door? I can’t get in!"

Saiki Kusuo couldn’t help but feel speechless, and the viewers also felt a sense of helplessness.

Using psychic powers to open a door!?

This is simply a waste of talent, it’s too much!!!

"Sigh, here we go again..."

Saiki Kusuo in the video still had a calm expression, as if he was used to such things.

He slowly walked forward, raised his hand towards the door, and a surge of energy was released from his palm.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the door opened.

Kuniharu Saiki immediately beamed and said, "Oh!! As expected of a psychic!!! Such superb skill~"

Saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.

Then, Kuniharu Saiki suddenly covered his mouth and whispered, "Kusuo, don’t you think this power has even better uses?"

Saiki Kusuo flatly refused, "Don’t even think about it, like buying lottery tickets..."

Kuniharu Saiki was instantly struck as if by a heavy blow and collapsed to the ground listlessly.

At this moment,

"Kusuo, you’re back?"

Kurumi Saiki’s voice came from inside the house.

Hearing this, Kuniharu Saiki’s expression changed, and he rushed into the house.

"Kusuo, forget about this for now! I have something urgent!!!"

Saiki Kusuo calmly looked at his father, who rushed into the house and said,

"Right, there’s only one thing worth mentioning." 』
