Chapter 170

In the dream, little Darkness lay on her father's lap crying, while her father stroked her little head and spoke words of comfort.

This scene made Broly, watching from the side, feel some doubt in his heart; he wondered if his own way of treating his father in the past had been wrong.

After being hurt, Darkness would throw herself onto her father's legs and cry her grievances, whereas in the past, after he was hurt, he would only angrily beat his own old father up.

Although that was from before the age of three, the memory had not faded much; on the contrary, after learning Dream Manipulation, he could clearly recall those events.

"So, this is the normal way for a child and father to get along?"

Broly thought, but quickly denied it himself, because the Succubus Shopkeeper had also said that different individuals' dreams all vary from person to person.

Some like this, some like that; similarly, facing the person who is a father, different people will have different situations, this should also be normal.

"Hmm, is this the dream-building element information I need to collect?"

With this realization, Broly noted down little Darkness's pattern of getting along with her father in the dream.

And Darkness's dream also began to turn illusory; Broly slowly withdrew his consciousness, not disturbing Darkness in the slightest.

"Daddy~"

In reality, tears overflowed from the corners of Darkness's eyes, not because of pain suffered in the dream, but because she dreamed that after suffering pain, she sought out her father to cry and act spoiled like in childhood, that feeling of being doted on.

Darkness slept very deeply; it was not until afternoon, when Aqua returned purchasing a batch of good wine, that she was woken by the noisy commotion.

"What is this with me?"

The newly awakened Darkness was somewhat bewildered; a dream, this kind of thing, recedes quickly like a tide once a person wakes up.

"You're awake, was the dream just now comfortable?"

But Broly reminded her in time, letting the other party recall a portion of the memory.

For example, the part about being beaten until she cried, and also the part about, in front of Broly, throwing herself onto her own father's legs to cry and act spoiled.

Recalling these, Darkness covered her face, her ear roots turning red.

When a person is most bashful, it should be when their heart's softest part is exposed.

"Broly, so you're at home, eh, what's wrong with Darkness?"

Aqua pushed a small cart in, saw Darkness's strange behavior, and couldn't help but ask.

"She was just beaten until she cried by me in the dream, after being beaten until she cried she threw herself onto..."

Broly's words weren't finished before he was tackled by Darkness, who was shouting "Ah ah ah" sounds from her mouth.

Darkness pinned him to the ground, covering his mouth with her hand, not letting him continue speaking about what happened in the dream.

"I'm fine, I have absolutely nothing wrong."

Darkness's appearance didn't look like someone fine at all, but Aqua couldn't be bothered to ask.

"Some strange Play, don't mess around with it."

Aqua merely warned Darkness one sentence, then had Darkness and Broly come over to help.

"I bought a lot of wine back, some to prepare to store in the underground wine cellar, some to prepare to put in the wine cabinet as daily ration wine, you two come help me."

"Aqua, you guy, just how much money did you spend again?"

Darkness went over to open the wine boxes, saw the Bubble Wine brands arranged inside, and after recognizing they were quite high-grade wine, asked directly.

"Not much either, I took the wine in bulk, this pile of wine only cost less than thirty million Eris."

Darkness: "..."

Where did this spendthrift woman come from? "Wouldn't that be too wasteful of money?"

"Haha, what is this masochist woman saying, wine is the finest product of human civilization, spending a little money on this liquid that condenses civilization's crystallization, how can that be called waste?"

"Shouldn't civilization's crystallization be knowledge, why would it be wine, Broly, you say something about this guy Aqua too!"

"Broly, you can understand this Master of mine, right?"

"But I've never drunk wine."

"You're still a minor, can't drink wine."

Broly: "..."

Seeing Aqua like drinking this stuff so much before, Broly also wanted to try the taste, but every time he was prohibited from drinking by Aqua using this kind of reason.

"Aqua Master, for things I haven't drunk, it's hard for me to say words against my heart."

Broly said, the meaning was very clear; for things he personally couldn't drink, spending money to buy them was obviously wasteful.

"You also want to accuse me of spending money recklessly, but wine is my water of life."

Aqua hugged a bottle of Bubble Wine, looking at him pitifully.

"Alright, but Aqua Master, you can only spend your own money to buy wine."

Broly was somewhat helpless; this Goddess Master, when spoken to, would really drop Happiness Value. "Yay~"

The Vitality Potion split was very generous; last time the Succubus Shop's agency fee gave her thirty-seven million five hundred thousand Eris.

Even if most of it has been spent by now, the remainder used to buy wine and dishes is still more than sufficient.

"Broly, aren't you spoiling this guy Aqua too much?"

Darkness started complaining; a large part of the reason Aqua acts with impunity is because there's a boy spoiling her behind her.

Whether doing Bathing Master Aqua's Commission or earning money to support the family, Aqua is the one being carried.

"As long as Aqua Master is happy, that's fine."

Broly indeed spoils Aqua a lot, because Aqua really gives repayment; every time he can see her Happiness Value rising.

"Masochist woman, did you hear, this is my good Disciple, Broly, come, give Master a hug"

Aqua was very happy, opened her arms and hugged the boy, rubbing her cheek against Broly's cheek, a look of happiness.

Darkness: "..."

Happiness Value decreased.

"Eh?"

Broly turned back to look at Darkness, discovering that this knight girl was pouting, looking like she wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Suddenly, Broly thought of the little Darkness in the dream, yet she was also the same as Aqua, a person who would act spoiled.

Thinking it over, he said to Darkness, "If you also want to be spoiled, Darkness, I can spoil you too. I can give you half of my share from the Vitality Potion profits."

Hearing this, Darkness froze a bit. She looked at the boy's sincere gaze, and after reacting, she hurriedly waved her hands: "Not needed. I'm not without money, needing someone to support me."

Darkness's face was red. After finishing speaking, she fell silent for a while, then said somewhat hesitantly: "Is what you said true?"

"What?"

"The matter of spoiling me..."

"It's true, but I don't know how you want to be spoiled."

"Doesn't matter. As long as it's true, it's not like you absolutely have to spoil me."

【Darkness Happiness Value increased】

"Even saying, sometimes not spoiling me is the best way to spoil me."

"Eh, is that so?"

"Mm."

"Aqua Master, just now after Darkness was beaten crying by me in the dream, she lay on her father's lap in the dream crying and acting spoiled."

Broly decisively spoke the words that had just been interrupted by Darkness.

"Ah, why would you say that?"

"Didn't you say not spoiling you is the best way to spoil you?"

"Hohoho, Darkness, so you're still a little kid who runs to her father to cry and act spoiled?"

Facing Aqua's teasing, Darkness only felt the development of things shouldn't be like this.

At this moment, she and the Goddess Eris she had served before actually had an astonishingly similar feeling.

"However, why would it be a dream?"

Aqua asked this only after finishing teasing Darkness.

"Because I just used a Succubus's Dream Skill on Darkness."

"Wait, why would you have this?"

"Learned it from a Succubus."

"How did I not know?"

"Aqua Master, you didn't ask me."

Broly answered honestly.

Aqua: "..."

Following learning skills from a Lich, the family disciple has now learned skills from a Succubus.

Reverse Disciple, this is a proper Reverse Disciple~
