Chapter 11: Grilled Meat Truth Education

At the yakiniku restaurant, Broly had been brought by Fujimura Taiga to eat lunch, and while he quickly devoured the grilled meat the girl had grilled and placed on his plate, he also looked across the glass window at the jewelry store opposite.

"What are you staring at the jewelry store for? Do you regret giving back that sapphire someone gave you as thanks?"

Fujimura Taiga followed the boy's gaze and also saw the jewelry store across the street, and couldn't help but ask.

"The sapphire Little Sakura's father gave you is top quality; if you exchanged it for money, you could probably eat many meals like this yakiniku."

"No, I don't regret it."

Hearing this, Broly shook his head.

"I gave her that stone so she could be happy."

"Then why do you keep staring at the jewelry store?"

Fujimura Taiga asked curiously.

"I gave her things, but I didn't give you anything, and I no longer have that kind of stone, so I want to go to a place that has that kind of stone, get some of those stones, and bring them back to give to you."

Broly answered this question very seriously; this was also the reason he kept looking at the jewelry store after discovering it.

"So you want to buy jewelry to give to me?"

Fujimura Taiga clipped another piece of grilled pork belly into the boy's plate.

"Huh, do you need money to get that kind of stone?"

Eating the pork belly, Broly frowned and asked.

"Generally speaking, yes."

Fujimura Taiga replied.

"Unless you find an ownerless gemstone mine and mine it yourself; that would be an exception."

She added another sentence.

"Then where is there a gemstone mine?"

Broly pursued the question.

"I don't know about that."

Fujimura Taiga shook her head, then took out the sapphire again to look at; this ocean-blue color was truly intoxicating.

"Then can I use robbery to go over there and get this kind of stone?"

Suddenly, Broly pointed at the jewelry store opposite, clenched his little fist, and asked.

"Robbing things is wrong."

Hearing this, Fujimura Taiga began to educate him.

"And if it's meant as a gift, nobody wants stolen goods either, at least I don't."

"Eh, you don't want it?"

Broly froze, looking at the girl who seemed reluctant to part with the sapphire, and for a moment couldn't quite tell if what she said was true.

"Of course, I'm an honest person."

The Fujimura family's Big Sister, who had a yakuza background and whose grandfather had made an arms deal with someone just yesterday, said such words.

"Let me tell you, you're still young, but you must not go astray and become a bad child."

Fujimura Taiga could tell that Broly was just a simple child.

Although his understanding was a bit off, he didn't want to see the other person go astray because of being simple.

"What is a bad child?"

"A bad child is……"

Fujimura Taiga said this, then hurriedly stopped, because she saw the expression on the boy's face that said【I am very curious】.

"Anyway, you just need to remember not to steal things randomly and not to rob things randomly, and that's right; otherwise, Big Sister won't be your wife anymore, and won't give you grilled meat to eat."

The orange-haired girl said with a stern face, and the concept she instilled of not stealing, not robbing, and being an honest good child was different from the Saiyan concepts Paragus had instilled in Broly since childhood.

In the concepts Paragus instilled, anything could be robbed, as long as you had the strength, including the throne under the butt of the king of your own race.

The difference in concepts caused Broly some confusion, but with the help of grilled meat, he quickly stood on Fujimura Taiga's side.

To sum it up in one sentence: the wife who grills meat for him now, Fujimura Taiga, every word she says is right, and Broly will unconditionally nod and agree.

As for the traditional Saiyan concepts originally instilled by his old father Paragus, under the current situation, they were completely unnecessary to consider further.

At this moment, Broly's brain belonged to the Grilled Meat Immortal; what Fujimura Taiga said was like truth, and along with the delicious grilled meat entering his belly, it left some traces in his head.

One meal, spending nearly thirty thousand yen, ninety percent of the meat was devoured by Broly alone.

When settling the bill, the yakiniku restaurant boss only rejoiced that his shop had not originally been opened as a buffet-style place, but he was also sweating profusely.

Back at the Fujimura Residence, with nothing to do, Broly suddenly didn't know what he should do, and upon seeing the big tree in the backyard of the Fujimura Residence, its lush green leaves gave him a sense of familiarity, so he climbed up using his hands and feet.

"Not soft at all."

But after lying down on the treetop, Broly discovered that this thing, which looked the same color as Ba's body, was not comfortable to lie on at all.

"Go home?"

Young Sakura's successful return home, the joy revealed on the surface when returning home, still had some influence on the young Broly.

With nothing to do now, Broly began to recall what he would do when idle on Nappa Star.

He should be lying on Ba's body, gazing at Nappa Star's sky, which was mostly cloudless and azure; although the sky above his head now was also azure, there were some white clouds, which on Nappa Star, where there was very little water vapor, was a very rare sight.

【That cloud looks like the…… ice cream I just ate?!】

Broly licked his lips, as if savoring the dessert he had enjoyed along with the grilled meat.

Fortunately, he had just eaten, so he wasn't very hungry.

【That cloud……】

Time passed as he watched the clouds, and Broly gradually fell asleep on the treetop.

By evening, he was only awakened by the aroma of food.

He jumped down from the tree canopy; no one discovered his behavior.

Following the aroma, he arrived at the kitchen. Broly looked at the busy chef inside, thought of Fujimura Taiga who had come to call him for a meal this morning, and then ran back out of the kitchen.

He came to the room Fujimura Taiga had told him about last night where he could find her if he needed anything, pulled open the door, and barged right in.

In the tatami bedroom there was a low square table. When Broly entered, the orange-haired girl was bending over the square table, writing furiously.

"What are you doing?"

When Broly approached and curiously asked from behind, Fujimura Taiga was startled; the ballpoint pen slid straight out of the squares of the homework notebook.

"Don't sneak up behind me and suddenly speak, you'll scare me to death!"

Fujimura Taiga complained, then took out correction fluid and began covering the marks the ballpoint pen had just made sliding out. "So, what exactly are you doing?"

"Doing homework. After all, I'm a student too."

"What's a student?"

"You're at it again. Can't a kid have fewer questions?"

Saying that, she pulled Broly into her embrace and rubbed the boy's head.

However, considering the other party's situation, Fujimura Taiga still patiently answered this question.

"A so-called student is a person who learns knowledge.

For a person to survive in this society, they must learn some knowledge.

Hmm, Broly, do you want to learn knowledge?"

"Can knowledge be eaten?"

"Knowledge isn't something you eat, but if you learn well, you can go to a good school to study. Graduate from a good school, and it's easier to find a good job. Find a good job, and you can earn more money. With more money, you can buy all kinds of food you like to eat. So, saying it can be eaten isn't wrong either."

Fujimura Taiga guided him patiently.

"Then..."

Broly showed a thinking expression, suddenly broke free from Fujimura Taiga's embrace, and slumped to his knees beside the girl.

"Wife, I want to learn knowledge!"

A pair of small hands supported on the ground, head bowed showing a dejected look, Broly spoke these words.

"Eh?!"

Fujimura Taiga stared at him dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what this child was suddenly doing. It was like a request, but it didn't look like dogeza either.

"You don't have to do this. If you want to go to school, I'll just go ask Grandpa."

When Fujimura Taiga finished speaking, Broly replied with an "Oh," then nimbly stood up.

The information in his brain did not deceive him; it gave him another practical way to ask for something.

Clearly, the otaku's fragmented memories were acting up again.

A famous scene from Slam Dunk, replicated in the Type-Moon World in this manner.

Pity, probably no one in this world can get this meme.

"Right, you came into my room to find me. Is something the matter?"

Fujimura Taiga asked.

"I came to call you to eat."

Broly told the truth.

"What, you don't dare eat alone?"

Fujimura Taiga thought the boy was perhaps afraid to eat in the Fujimura Residence together with those yakuza members of the Fujimura Group who didn't look like good people at all.

"No. You came to call me to eat this morning, so I thought I should come call you to eat."

At this, Broly shook his head and spoke his true thoughts.

"Eh?!"

Fujimura Taiga froze, then after a moment hugged the boy.

"Broly, you kid, you're really too foul!"

The girl rubbed her face against the boy's face.

This kind of obedient, cute little brother character — for an only child like her — really fit her requirements for a little brother too perfectly.

Although he was rather terrifying and annoying when asking questions, this child would, because she went to wake him for breakfast in the morning, come to her room in the evening to call her, who was studying, to eat.

This sounds like it might be pretty ordinary, but that's for people who have a little brother and are already used to being called to eat by him.

For her, even if someone cared about whether she ate, it would be a burly yakuza member, like that scar-faced guy coming to call her.

But now, look at this little guy giving kisses, hugs, and face rubs. Can that scar-faced guy compare? Fujimura Taiga's Happiness Value kept rising during the face-rubbing process, until it hit 55 points and stopped rising.

"Can we go eat now?"

Only now did Broly ask. He also didn't quite understand why the other party got so excited and happy over a single sentence from him.

"Sorry, Big Sis will go eat with you right away."

Fujimura Taiga replied with a smile. They'd known each other just over a day, but getting along with this kid who had no sense of boundaries felt like suddenly having an obedient little brother by her side.

Just as the two went to the Fujimura Residence's dining hall to eat, next door at the former Fujimura estate sold just yesterday, the Magus Killer Kiritsugu Emiya was feeling rather depressed.

"Seems being overly cautious isn't a good thing either."

Yesterday, encountering the Tohsaka Family's adopted daughter given to the Matou Family at the Fujimura Residence, Kiritsugu Emiya had produced many associations.

For this, he went to specially investigate the situation today. Before the matter could be figured out, the Tohsaka Family's adopted daughter given to the Matou Family was directly sent back to the Tohsaka Family.

Reflecting on it, Kiritsugu Emiya realized encountering the other party might really have been a coincidence, not at all a situation where he had been discovered and some scheme was closing in on him.

But because of this overly cautious mindset, he wasted a daytime's rest time. Originally already sleep-deprived, the situation was now even worse.

"How about canceling tonight's action, and you go sleep a bit?"

Maiya Hisau persuaded from the side.

"No, the Holy Grail War, every second counts, something must have happened between the Tohsaka Family and the Matou Family, I need to take advantage of the trouble between those two families to quickly solve that Clock Tower Lord..."

Kiritsugu Emiya refused Maiya Hisau's proposal.

When he previously arrived in Fuyuki City, he designed a Fishing Plan, having his wife Irisviel disguise herself as Saber's Master, wanting to lure out the enemy and solve them.

As a result, the good news is an enemy really took the bait, while the bad news is almost every enemy that could come came, and one of them even nonchalantly announced their real identity.

Of course, these aren't the important matters; the important thing is the first enemy that took the bait, that Lancer is a Spearman with two spears.

Martial arts astonishing, actually harmed Saber who is the legendary Arthur Pendragon, causing his Servant's hand to be injured, and because the enemy's Noble Phantasm long spear has a high-level curse, it is incurable.

The opening fishing failed, instead his Servant suffered the enemy Servant's curse debuff weakening, this is a very egg pain matter.

Therefore, Kenneth El-Melloi II, that existence with not weak strength, counting as a hard bone in this Holy Grail War, the Clock Tower Mineralogy Department's Lord, became the existence with comparatively high priority target level on Kiritsugu Emiya's side to solve.

Of course, an even more important point is that Lord with superb magecraft attainment seems to very much disdain ordinary people's methods.

After arriving in Fuyuki City, he very high-profilely chose a luxury hotel, booked the top floor's two floors of rooms, and built them into a magic workshop fortress with extremely powerful defense capability.

If using normal magecraft methods, it would definitely be very difficult to attack up there, but if switching to ordinary people's methods?

In the supplies Kiritsugu Emiya purchased there are large amounts of detonators and explosives, he wants to let that Clock Tower Lord properly experience what is called the Earth Mother's deep love -- gravity!
