Chapter 103
"If I help you repay them, will you become my wife?"
Broly was somewhat unwilling to let it go, and continued to press the question.
"How to repay?"
Leone, in her cat-eared girl state, asked curiously.
"How about giving them a big sum of money?"
Broly's answer was simple and crude; he had already discovered that most people in this world would be satisfied with the acquisition of money.
For an External Wife not recognized by the Crystal Palace, he could give one hundred thousand; then for a wife like Leone who could be recognized by the Crystal Palace, he could give even more.
"That's actually a very good idea."
Leone nodded; she acknowledged the charm of money, and also felt that directly giving money could improve the lives of the neighbors in Slum Street, and being able to do this could also count as a repayment worthy of the life-saving grace they showed her.
"Then if I do this, can you become my wife?"
Seeing there was still a turn for the better in the matter, the boy's eyes lit up and he hurriedly pressed the question.
"If that's the case, I can indeed become your wife, however, we still have to wait until you grow up a bit."
Leone's impression of Broly was not bad; at their first meeting yesterday, it was this boy who gave her business, and today's Guide work was also proposed by the other party.
Although this afternoon she saw the other party bullying other children, it was ultimately a justifiable situation, standing up for another glasses girl he had taken a liking to...
Eh, thinking about it this way, there was a feeling that the other party was a philanderer, giving people the impression that at such a young age he was already a playboy daikon.
However, if the other party could truly do as he said and give a large sum of money to those who had shown him grace, then such a large amount of money would also be enough to let her repay the other party's grace and devote herself to him.
But this matter of devoting herself, for Leone it was also the first time experiencing it; she felt she needed a little time to adapt.
No matter how you put it, she should get to know this Little Boss more, understand the other party more, right? So that was why she gave the additional condition of waiting for the other party to grow up.
If the other party was truly good, and she also came to like him, then it would be a matter of course, a natural progression into marriage.
And if the other party later exposed a terrible nature, at that time she could also decide based on the situation, whether to run away, or pinch her nose and admit it.
In short, this counted as leaving a bit of room to maneuver.
However, hearing it in Broly's ears, it was no different from a refusal.
After all, he didn't have the ability to grow up instantly; in four days he would be sent back to Nappa Star.
Broly revealed a lost expression, looking just like a heartbroken model after being dumped by a girl he liked.
Of course, Broly was only heartbroken over those foods that hadn't yet reached his hands but left him, feeling sorrow for that alone.
However, in Leone's view it was a completely different feeling; the cat-eared girl also hadn't expected that her words leaving some room to maneuver would actually deal such a heavy blow to the boy before her; for a moment, looking at the boy's lost appearance, she felt somewhat guilty, feeling like she was a scoundrel woman stringing someone along.
"I didn't say I can't become your wife, just that this matter has to wait until you grow up."
She hurriedly added.
"No time."
Broly's mood remained low, and he replied somewhat dejectedly.
"What no time?"
Leone didn't understand what this answer meant, and subconsciously pressed the question.
"I said I have no time to grow up; before long, I will leave this world."
Broly raised his head and told the truth.
"Ah, this..."
Leone's eyes instantly widened; her mind was as if struck by a sudden enlightenment; things she couldn't quite figure out before got answered at this moment. Why the Little Boss before her, clearly not yet at the age to be obsessed with women, would so urgently want to make a girl he liked his wife — it turned out he was already at death's door!
"Is what you said about leaving the world true?"
Leone originally wanted to ask 【Is it true you're going to die】, but felt that was too blunt; if it was true, it wouldn't be good, so she changed her wording to ask like this.
"Would this have a fake?"
Broly asked back in confusion, a puzzled expression floating on his face, not a trace of falseness in his appearance.
Leone thought of Broly's performance in the Old Maid game, and completely didn't feel he was lying.
Her heart sank, and there actually arose a sigh of 【beauties have short lives】.
Of course, Broly couldn't count as a beauty; he should be called a generous Little Boss.
A fool with too much money, young and rich, approachable... (cross out the first one) And such a generous Little Boss, yet couldn't even grow up, and would be forced to leave this world.
Although this world isn't that good, a life that is too short still makes one feel regret.
"If what you say is all true, then I'm willing to become your wife right now."
Leone raised her beast claws, boldly touched the boy's head, and said with determination.
【Capture Target Leone, out of pity that Host you will die young and leave this world, moved by your money-spreading grace, voluntarily becomes one of the wives you have had, now applying to join the Crystal Palace, Host Accept/Refuse?】
"Eh?!"
A sudden turn for the better; the Crystal Palace prompt that suddenly appeared left Broly somewhat stunned; he completely couldn't understand what he had done to make Leone before him suddenly change her mind and agree to become his wife without needing to wait for him to grow up.
However, since the matter was good, Broly couldn't be bothered to think; with the idea of maximizing Happiness Points, he decisively chose Refuse.
"Leone, you're willing to become my wife, that's really great; however, the matter of becoming my wife isn't urgent, let's talk after four days; for now, let's start by being best friends!"
Broly arranged it like this.
"Eh?!"
This time it was Leone's turn to not understand; the boy who was just anxiously wanting her to be his wife, after she agreed, instead became reserved.
"Oh!"
However, Leone quickly figured it out through her own daydreaming; marrying a wife is a major and abnormal matter, how can it be decided randomly? Of course one must find an Auspicious Day; perhaps four days later is that Auspicious Day; people in Castle Town are still quite superstitious.
"Right, how much money do you need to repay others? Give me a number, I'll give it to you tomorrow!"
"No, that's not needed."
Hearing this, Leone hurriedly waved her hand; if she didn't know the boy was going to die, she would definitely not hesitate to take advantage of this rich Little Boss.
But now that she knew the other party was about to die soon, agreeing to become his wife was only to fulfill his wish to have a complete life; taking money from him now would be somewhat unjustifiable.
After all, a dead man's money is far too hot to hold; if she had treated this as repaying a kindness from the start, it would have been just right.
"No, you have to take this money whether you want to or not. Since you're willing to become my wife, I must fulfill your wish, satisfy you thoroughly, and make you feel happiness!"
Because it concerned his dining welfare upon returning to Nappa Star, Broly's tone was very firm right now; how could he possibly let Leone be willful here and refuse to be satisfied by him?
Broly had already decided that he must max out the Happiness Value on the girl before him within the time before he was repatriated.
"..."
Leone was somewhat stunned.
Is this the feeling of agreeing to become the other party's wife and directly being kept by a rich kid?
It seems... this feeling isn't bad at all!
