Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 726 The Troubles of Qi and Blood Brought About by Growth
The next day, Broly woke up in a different bed, and upon waking, he could clearly feel that he was different from the day before.

His body, however, showed a sign of being full of energy after he woke up early in the morning.

Just like how Lily and Hestia's teasing and exhaustion last night didn't have any real impact.

The Saiyan boy, having crawled out of bed, looked at the abnormality in his body and a strange thought popped into his head: [My new phone has such a powerful battery...]

Just as he was trying to stop himself from being so energetic so early in the morning, the little girl woke up groggily.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the boy standing on the pillow next to her. This reminded her of the pranks and teasing she and Hestia had played on the boy the night before, only to be met with a furious retaliation from Brolyhar...

Thinking of what happened last night, the little girl's fair face quickly flushed red, but she didn't avoid his gaze. Instead, her eyes were filled with affection as she asked the boy standing beside her, "Brother Broly, do you need my help?"

Broly thought for a moment and then pleaded, "Then Lily, I'm counting on you."

"Leave everything to me."

"Ah, Broly, you've already given up on me after just one night?"

Faced with the goddess's antics after waking up, Broly had no choice but to compromise.

Broly changed his clothes, washed up, and went out. Ais, Ryu, and the others were already waiting outside the Hearth Hall.

. . . .

“Mr. Broly, you seem to have gotten up a little late today.”

When Liu saw him come out, she said that she had come here much earlier, but the boy did not start his morning exercise before dawn, so she was too embarrassed to disturb him directly. She waited at the door until even Sword Princess and the others came over before Broly finally came out.

"Sorry, I got the sheets wet last night and had to wash them, so I went to bed late..."

Broly apologized, but he couldn't very well say that he had gotten up early.

However, Broly's silence, as if tacitly agreeing with her statement, caused Tiona's laughter to gradually subside. The Amazonian girl felt somewhat embarrassed as she noticed the gazes directed at her.

"Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to expose your weakness..."

The Saiyan boy only looks small; he's actually just a boy two years younger than himself.

"It's alright, Tiona, what you said is true..."

Broly waved his hand dismissively.

"Ah, the early bird catches the worm, let's hurry up and do our morning exercise!"

Lefia tried to smooth things over and move on from the embarrassing topic of bedwetting.

"it is good."

Broly did not refuse, but the people who exercised with him in the yard that morning were now two more: Tiona and Lefia.

Are we going to the dungeon again today?

Ais swung her sword and came over to ask.

"I have other things to do today, so I won't be going to the dungeon."

Broly replied, casually parrying the swordswoman's sword, and then spun around and kicked the wooden sword that the elf lady was slashing at.

The ability values ​​were updated last night. The second ability value panel was updated because we eliminated a large number of man-eating plants yesterday, which gave us a lot of experience and resulted in significant growth.

In just one day, Broly's base stats under his super-burdened training state have already surpassed those of Ryu, who had been stuck at Lv.4 for many years, and are heading straight for Sword Maiden's Lv.5 base stats. In addition, because his swordsmanship is higher than the two of them, the two of them have formed an alliance today to fight against him together.

"What about tomorrow?"

Ais pressed for details.

I'll probably go tomorrow.

Broly thought for a moment and replied that it shouldn't take more than a day to find out about [Hurricane Leon].

"Mr. Broly, would you like to come with us to the dungeon?"

"Ok?"

"Finn said that starting tomorrow, our clan will go to the deepest part of the dungeon to grind monsters and make money."

Seeing the boy's puzzled look, Ais explained, and Tiona took over, adding a series of explanations: "That was to raise funds for the great expedition that our clan plans to undertake later."

Well, the so-called Great Expedition is to explore the deeper, unknown floors of the dungeon labyrinth. For each new unknown floor that is broken through, the clan that successfully completes the expedition will receive corresponding fame and status.

Our leader takes this very seriously. As members of the family, we must contribute to the family when it needs us.

So, if you don't plan to come with us, we probably won't be able to team up with you for the next few days, because we'll be going to the deeper dungeons with other members of our clan to grind monsters and earn money.

It's probably a team-building activity. The top-tier adventurers of the Loki Familia are high-level, and in order to farm money and accumulate resources more efficiently for a new expedition, the labyrinth in the deepest area is the best choice for them. Both the number of monsters and the quality of the drops are more efficient than killing monsters in the middle and upper areas.

Can I bring other people with me?

"You mean Bell and the others? I'm afraid that won't work. They're too weak. They can't even handle the support work in the Deep Zone labyrinth."

The Amazon girl shook her head and replied that to be a supporter of the Deep Labyrinth, it wasn't enough to just be able to deal with a Level 2 Minotaur; one had to be at least Level 3 or 4.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be called supporters, but burdens.

"Then I shouldn't go."

Broly thought for a moment and then gave his reply: he was not the kind of person who would prioritize romantic relationships over friendships.

Moreover, once you go to the deeper areas, you probably won't be able to come back every day.

While Ais and Lefia were his encounter partners, Lilyluka, Lady Hestia, and Ryu and Seele were also among his encounter partners.

"Is it……"

The swordswoman was somewhat disappointed. She really wanted the Saiyan boy to come along, since the monsters in the middle-level dungeon weren't actually that strong.

If possible, she hopes that Broly can be there to guide her swordsmanship when facing more extreme opponents.

The morning exercise was over. Looking at the four girls who had participated in the exercise, each of them was covered in sweat. Broly could smell their scent and suddenly felt a surge of energy rising in his head.

After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to suppress the feeling of rushing blood to his head. Growth is always accompanied by troubles, which should only appear unintentionally, but for Broly, it seemed that he clearly felt these troubles on a physiological level the day after he noticed the changes in his body.

His vital energy was so abundant that he always had a physiological response of liking the people he encountered.

Just like a little teddy bear...

While Ais and the others went to take a shower, Broly sat alone on the sofa, and this thought involuntarily popped into his mind.

"Brother Broly, Lady Hestia and I are heading out."

Before leaving, the little girl came over to greet him. Lilyluka looked to be in very good spirits today.

"Yes, be careful on the road."

Suppressing the urge to ask for help, Broly nodded to Lily Luca, seemingly unchanged from before.

After seeing off Ais and Ryu, who had just finished bathing, Broly entered the shampoo-scented bathroom that the girls had just used. He lay down in the hot spring pool, floating on the surface of the water, and stared blankly at his own blood rushing to his head.

This feeling of being unable to control his blood and qi made him feel irritable. Broly thought of some scenes of men and women he had seen before, and he couldn't help but adopt a male perspective, imagining the women as his many wives. In the end, however, he fixed his gaze on Fujimura Taiga and Sakura, who had agreed to be first and second.

By the time Broly finished his shower, it was already nine o'clock in Orario.

He first went to the Abundant Mistress's Tavern and found Miss Seele, whom he had inquired about Ryu's situation the day before, and asked her what her decision was.

“I can tell you about Ryu’s past, Mr. Broly, but her past is too long, and I don’t want her to know. I’m secretly revealing information about her past to you, so if you want to know, you’ll probably need to have a rather long private conversation with me.”

Freya said with a smile.

"Then, Miss Seele, do you have time today?"

Broly asked directly.

"What, you want to ask me out alone, instead of going to the dungeon labyrinth with Miss Sword Maiden and the others?"

Seele asked curiously, and although she was speaking normally, she could sense that the girl was somewhat resentful about the matter.

"I'm not going to the maze today. I want to learn about Miss Ryu's past..."

Broly replied, paused, and then added.

"Of course, if Miss Seele is also willing, then I would like to know about your past."

Upon hearing this, Xi'er was stunned, her heart pounding like a deer, and her face involuntarily turned red.

This wasn't an act; it was the genuine reaction of the goddess Freya beneath her girlish appearance as the mascot.

"Bubu, it's too early to know about my past, Mr. Broly. You'll have to work on winning my favor first~"

The cute gray-haired girl said this in a slightly playful way.

"Then, how can I increase my favorability with Miss Seele?"

Broly consulted the client earnestly.

"Uh, I don't know either, but we can start by discussing common topics."

"For example?"

"Mr. Broly, are you going to risk upsetting Mother Mia by taking me out on a date today?"

Seele extended her right hand to the boy, the back of her hand facing him, just like she was waiting for a man to invite her at a ball, and asked him.

"Then let's go."

Broly glanced at Seele, then took her soft little hand and led her toward the tavern entrance.

"Hey, Mia's mom is really scary. If you make her angry, it's just as dangerous as challenging a dungeon boss alone."

When Seele, who was being led around, realized that the boy was unaware of how terrifying Mia's mother was, she quickly reminded him.

"I've dealt with the floor master in the maze by myself, and taking you with me won't necessarily make her angry, because I'll ask her for leave for you."

Broly first declared his strength, then turned towards the kitchen and called out to the little giant proprietress inside: "Mama Mia, may I borrow Miss Seele from your tavern for a day? I am willing to pay the corresponding loan fee."

"If Seele is doing this voluntarily, then please feel free to do so. After all, she is just an employee of my tavern, not a slave of my tavern."

The little giant Mia came out, looked at the mascot girl with a red face, who was being led by the Saiyan boy, waved her hand and said.

"That's what Mia's mother said. So, Miss Seele, would you be willing to take a day off and go on a date with me?"

Broly turned to the gray-haired girl behind him and passed the buck back to her about whether or not to go on a date alone, completely reversing the momentum.

Xi'er: "..."

She looked at the little giant Mia, but all Mia responded to was a shrug and an indifferent look.

[You goddess wanted to use me as a tool to flirt with the boy you're interested in, and now he's turned the tables on you. Well, you'll just have to suffer the consequences yourself. I'm not going to step in and make things difficult for Broly...]

At this moment, silence spoke louder than words. Freya understood the meaning behind her former captain's micro-expression and, somewhat helplessly, could only say, "Then, let's go."

After the two left, the little giant Mia finally smiled. It was quite amusing that the old goddess Siji's teasing tactics were ineffective against the straightforward and highly capable boy, and that she was outmaneuvered by him instead.

I used to think that a boy who was being targeted by a goddess would be in a situation where he would be led by the nose by the girl, but now it seems that there is no need to worry at all.

Mia was in a good mood when the elf came out of the kitchen. Not seeing Seele helping out in the shop, she asked, "Mia's mom, where's Seele?"

"He went on a date with that kid Broly."

"Eh?"

Liu's eyes widened. It was almost lunchtime, a busy time, and she was sneaking off on a date?

Miss Elf felt a little resentful towards her friend, but she quickly composed herself.

I decided to help my friend by covering her missed work hours.

　I hope it won't be blocked, but if it is, there's nothing I can do...
