Chapter 219: The Crimson Demon Clan Girls' Gifts

~8 min read 1,477 words

"Father, Mother, I'm ready to leave the village and go outside on an adventure!"

On the third day after the divination, Huihui, who had shut herself in her room, finally pulled herself together and said these words to her parents.

"Eh, Sister, so you're finally ready to marry Brother-in-law, follow him outside to settle down, and from now on parasite off Brother-in-law for life?"

Xiaomi asked curiously from the side; Houste, who was ironing clothes, and Enis, who was folding clothes, both pricked up their ears and looked over.

"What do you mean 'parasite off Brother-in-law for life'? Whether Broly will become the other half of my life is something even I'm not sure about, so can you stop spreading rumors!"

Huihui retorted loudly. Xiaomi tilted her head and asked, "Then are you going outside on an adventure all by yourself?"

"That's not quite it either. I'm going to the Beginner Adventurer Town 【Axel】 together with Yunyun and Broly..."

Huihui's answering voice suddenly dropped. Xiaomi immediately put her hands on her hips: "That's still going together with Brother-in-law."

"I admit I'm going together with him, but I'm not going there to parasite. I just want to go to a bigger place, to find a stage (position) where I, who have mastered Explosion Magic, can demonstrate my abilities!"

After learning about her parasitic life, Huihui did not choose to surrender. Although she accepted Broly's invitation and planned to go to Axel, she only wanted to find a job opportunity in a big city, absolutely not to follow Broly there to lay flat and parasite.

"Alright then. With Broly and Yunyun looking after you, we're quite at ease too."

Regarding this, Piao Sanlang and Weiwei were not worried about their daughter's situation.

"Sister, do your best after you get to the big city!"

Xiaomi gave a thumbs-up in encouragement.

"I will."

Huihui felt her family's smiling attitudes were a bit strange, but still nodded and accepted her younger sister's good intentions.

"Right, this is a magic tool your classmate Niannianjuan and the others entrusted my father to forge. It should be a farewell gift for Broly. If you go to the Academy to say goodbye to your friends later, take it and give it to them together."

Piao Sanlang thought of something and took out a pair of leather gloves. Although the production time was only a short three days, this pair of gloves was also a very Uncommon warming tool for winter — Dragon Skin Gloves.

"Eh, Niannianjuan and them want to give Broly a gift?"

Huihui was stunned, and her expression turned ugly. Holding the gloves, she immediately ran back to her room.

After a while, she left with the gloves and headed to the agreed-upon Academy. Xiaohei was not taken along; because the family environment had improved, Xiaomi probably wouldn't treat the family cat as reserve food, so Huihui left with peace of mind.

"Huihui, you're here! Everyone's been waiting for you!"

When she arrived at the Academy, Yunyun saw her and came over to greet her. Truth be told, she was still a bit worried about Huihui's state.

"It's just a farewell party. Is there a need to be this solemn?"

Huihui said this with her mouth, but being seen off like this by everyone when leaving the village still moved her deeply.

"Here, these are the gloves you all asked my father to custom-make."

Upon seeing Niannianjuan, Huihui handed the magic tool her father gave her to the girl. Niannianjuan took the gloves and was very happy, immediately running to Broly's side to give him the warming gloves.

"Broly, thanks for taking care of us with your bentos these days. This is a gift everyone prepared for you. It contains my family's treasured Red Dragon Skin, plus precious materials and money provided by other families, forged into Red Dragon Gloves. Wear them, and your hands won't be cold in winter!"

"Thank you."

Broly was handed a pair of gloves. Although his hands aren't cold in winter, he still thanked this group of Red Demon Clan girls.

"Also, this is a gift from me personally."

Arue took off the black-based white cross eyepatch from her own eyes right then and handed it to Broly.

"It has an enhanced Magic Suppression effect. It's a true Hidden Power suppression tool, used to increase Coolness Value."

Arue explained the eyepatch's usage. In reality, this is just a tool that stores Magic Power; it's just that the stored Mana Capacity is very small compared to Broly's personal strength.

"Thank you."

Broly accepted it and thanked Arue again.

"Hey, isn't today our farewell party? Why are you all giving gifts to Broly?"

The girls around the boy were chattering away. Especially Arue, who leaned in personally to put the eyepatch on Broly — her well-developed chest nearly pressed against the boy's face. This made Huihui immediately dissatisfied and she started complaining.

"Haha, don't be anxious. You have gifts too."

Arue fished in her bosom and pulled out two more eyepatches, handing them to Yunyun and Huihui respectively. Of course, the eyepatches given to Yunyun and Huihui weren't magic tools, because Arue's pocket money didn't allow her to prepare three magic tool eyepatches.

"There's even differential treatment?"

Upon hearing she only got an Ordinary eyepatch, Huihui's face showed some dissatisfaction, but the rise in her Happiness Value proved she was actually very happy inside.

"ヾ(≧≦Thank you≧≦)ノ!"

Unlike Huihui, whose happiness didn't show on the surface, Yunyun's joy was plain to see. This counted as one of the extremely few gifts she had received from a friend in her life.

Besides Arue's gift, the other girls also had gifts for them. Niannianjuan, that rich dog, pooled with others to give Huihui a Magic Wand as a farewell gift.

For Yunyun, they gave a pair of earrings that could better hear the voices of wind spirits. In reality, it's a tool similar to the Magic Wand that enhances the wearer's Elemental Affinity with a certain type of Magic Power.

"If there's time, we'll definitely come back to visit you!"

Yunyun said QAQ.

"This parting may mean we never meet again, but I, Huihui, will remember you forever."

Huihui also said, sniffling.

"Oi, don't make it sound like we're dying!"

The other Red Demon Clan girls retorted, but still said a "Goodbye" to them.

"Goodbye!"

Broly was also affected by the parting emotions. Somewhat reluctant, he said a "Goodbye" to that group of Red Demon Clan girls, then used 【Teleport Magic】 to bring Yunyun and Huihui, his two wives, instantly teleporting into the backyard of Wiz's Magic Tool Shop in Axel.

Ultra-long-distance Teleport Magic can only lock onto Three Coordinates. Broly has already set two: one is the backyard of Axel's Wiz Magic Tool Shop, the other is the front door of Yunyun's house in the Red Demon Clan homeland, Crimson Demon Village.

In other words, as long as he converts enough Magic Power Qi, he can round-trip between Axel and Crimson Demon Village N times a day.

Thinking like this, the faint melancholy of parting with those Red Demon Clan girls directly vanished.

"Right, Broly, this is my gift."

After landing, Yunyun also took out a gift.

"You have a gift for me too?"

Broly was a bit stunned, took the book from Yunyun's hands, and discovered it was a Monster Cooking Encyclopedia, and the author was precisely the Red Demon Clan's First Chef, Fire-burned Chicken Shreds Master.

"You're interested in cooking, aren't you? I saved up money and bought this book, hope you like it."

Yunyun said.

"Mm, I like it a lot."

Broly nodded; although what he liked was eating, not the business of making food, this was a gift, so he was willing to accept Yunyun's kindness.

"Here, this is my gift."

Just then, Huihui also took out her hastily prepared gift.

"You have one too?"

Broly blanked for a moment, and an old pair of windproof goggles was shoved into his hands.

"This was an important tool of mine from childhood; wear it, and you can see things clearly underwater. You fly in the air often, so wearing this is just right."

Huihui spoke like this, feeling a bit nervous inside; other people's gifts are all new, and prepared in advance too.

Only her gift, after learning everyone would give the boy gifts, was hastily taken out as a gift — an old article — and she was a bit worried the boy would dislike it.

"Of course, if you don't like that I've used it before, after I find work here and earn money, I can buy you a new pair, and this pair can just serve as a replacement until the new goggles arrive."

Huihui added a sentence.

"No need, this is just fine."

Broly pulled the goggles onto his face, felt it was okay.
