Chapter 129: World Destruction Crisis

"Aqua Master, do you have a commission you need me to accompany you on?"

"Mm."

"Then let's go do it!"

Although it was already evening now, this did not constitute an obstacle to completing the commission quest; for Broly, there was no difference between daytime and nighttime.

During the day he could walk sideways through the wild, and at night it was the same — the so-called dangerous magic beasts that roamed outside the city were basically all goods that went down with one punch.

To describe it in one sentence: not a single one could fight; and Aqua herself also had strength, so even bringing her along was not a burden.

"Wuu..."

Hearing this, Aqua hurriedly shook her head.

"What's wrong?"

Broly was somewhat confused.

"I don't want to do the commission anymore."

Deliberately dragging it out and not doing the commission, she would have to pay a penalty fee when the time came.

"Fine, if you don't want to do it then don't."

Broly had no objections.

What was the penalty fee for not completing a commission? Was it enough money for him to eat a meal with his belly open? "Broly~"

The boy's calm response made Aqua shed her small pearl tears again.

Judging from the rising happiness value prompt, she wasn't sad but moved.

"I want to go back."

Aqua said, sniffling her small nose.

"Okay."

"But I don't want to walk by myself."

"Then shall I carry you?"

Aqua's height was 1.65 meters; Broly currently only stood at 1.2-something meters.

"Forget it, then I'll just walk myself."

Imagining the scene of herself being carried by the boy, that picture was too beautiful — even Aqua herself found it a bit unbearable.

One big, one small, the two of them just like that held hands and walked out the Adventurer's Guild's main gate.

Outside, Axel's night streets were still fairly lively, but the road leading to Marian's home did not belong to the lively district.

Separated by an alley, it was just like being separated by a glass cover; the closer they got to Marian's house, the farther those noisy sounds receded.

"Broly, you didn't find a wife today?"

On the road, Aqua asked; the drunken state she was in at the Adventurer's Guild had already been purified as an abnormal state, and now Aqua was in a normal state.

"No."

Broly answered honestly, but capture targets aren't that easy to find; in the previous world he walked through dozens of cities, and in the end didn't he only encounter a few wives?

"Didn't you see any pretty girls at all?"

Aqua was a bit surprised; there were still quite a few pretty girls here in Axel.

Earlier when strolling the streets during the day, she had seen quite a few good-looking little fellows.

"I did see some pretty girls, but none of them are acknowledged wives."

"They're not the type of girls you like?"

Aqua thought so.

"Then Broly, what kind of girl is the wife you like, the one you want to find?"

Aqua felt she had to put in more effort to help this child Broly realize his wish.

Thinking thus, Aqua suddenly found her steps pulled to a stop; this Water Goddess turned her head in puzzlement, only to see Broly raise his hand, point straight at her, and say: "The wife I want to find is a girl like you, Aqua Master."

"Ah?!"

Aqua exclaimed, becoming somewhat at a loss.

"You're joking, right?"

She thought the boy was joking.

"No."

Broly shook his head, his face serious, without a trace of joking intent.

"But I'm a Goddess!"

"What does that have to do with identity? I'm still a Saiyan."

"But I'm many years older than you, at least several hundred years!"

"But what does that have to do with me wanting you as my wife?"

Aqua was looked at by the boy's pure eyes until her face reddened a bit.

"But you're still too young right now."

Aqua spoke these words, her voice very light and very low. "I know, but I'll grow up eventually."

"Then let's talk again after you grow up."

"Aqua Master..."

"Mm?"

"Can you promise to be my wife in two hundred seventy-seven days first?"

Aqua originally wanted to brush it off vaguely, but looking at Broly's serious small face, it seemed this was a very important question to him, so she didn't use words to be perfunctory.

"Tonight's moon is very beautiful, isn't it?"

"Hmm?"

Broly was somewhat confused by Aqua's words before him, but still raised his head to look at the moon above.

On Planet Wanpa, his father had instructed him to try not to look at the moon in the sky when it was full.

"It's very beautiful, and very round. So what?"

Broly answered, his gaze drawn to the full moon overhead.

The sound of his heartbeat became clear in his ears.

A feeling of irritability wanting to destroy everything gradually rose from the bottom of his heart.

He, who had not yet mastered the humanoid Great Ape form, still carried the risk of transforming into a Great Ape upon looking at the full moon.

"Clan Chief, it's terrible!"

In Red Demon Village, the Red Demon Clan's number one beauty, who was also the world-renowned Fortune Teller Soket, suddenly used teleportation magic to arrive at the Clan Chief's front door, and began pounding on the door in a panic.

"Miss Soket, what's wrong?"

The one who came out to open the door was still a girl with twin tails.

"It's Yunyun. Is the Clan Chief home?"

"She's home. We're just preparing to eat dinner. Would Miss Soket like to join?"

"Now is not the time for dinner! The world, this world is about to be destroyed!"

"Ah?!"

The girl at the door gaped, but completely couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

And inside the house, hearing these words, the Red Demon Clan Chief immediately rushed out, grabbed Soket's shoulders, and asked while panting heavily: "Tell me in detail about the world's destruction!"

"This is something I divined just now while performing divination. On the night of the full moon, a demon of destruction will be born from a young shell, and the world will welcome its final outcome!"

The Fortune Teller spoke, and took out a crystal ball, preparing to display again the end-of-the-world scene she had just divined.

But the divination technique had been cast for a while, and the apocalyptic scene that could be divined just now now could not be manifested at all.

"Soket, could it be that the Divination Hut's business hasn't been too good lately, so you want to come to our house to mooch a meal, but are too embarrassed to say it directly, so you're using the reason of divining an end-of-the-world crisis as an excuse to come mooch a meal at our house?"

The Red Demon Clan Chief Suipeng looked at the clan's First Diviner with some suspicion.

"It's not like that!"

The female Fortune Teller directly denied it loudly, but revealed a confused expression.

"Strange. Just now the divination was very clear. Why can't it be divined now?"

"If by that time you still haven't changed your mind, Master will agree to you!"

Aqua spoke thus, then discovered Broly did not respond.

"What, am I this good-looking, making you stare blankly?"

Broly was looking at the full moon behind Aqua, but from Aqua's perspective, Broly was just looking at her and somewhat stunned.

Aqua leaned over to block Broly's line of sight, raised her hand, and flicked the boy's forehead.

The force was very light, but the purification effect inherent to a Goddess's body at her fingertip just happened to interrupt the manic feeling in Broly's heart.

Broly blinked, touched his flicked forehead in puzzlement, and asked: "Aqua Master, why did you flick me?"

"If I didn't flick you, you still wouldn't have snapped out of it."

"I was just looking at the moon!"

"Is the moon prettier than Master?"

"No."

The moon indeed wasn't as pretty as Aqua.

Especially after answering, Aqua's Happiness Value even rose.

And the delicious food that Happiness Points could be exchanged for smelled that much better.

Broly was a vulgar little Saiyan; he only wanted to fill his stomach first.

Appreciating the moon or whatever — he'd talk about it when he had time.
