Chapter 220: Who Is the Parasite?
The arrival of two new girls in Axel's home caused no stir whatsoever; whether it was Aqua, Darkness, or Wiz, they had already long since learned of Yunyun and Huihui's situation through the boy every day.
When Yunyun and Huihui came to the house, a grand welcome banquet was held for them, leaving Yunyun and Huihui somewhat surprised by the favor.
Naturally, upon learning they were both the boy's future wives, Huihui directly slapped the table and stood up, while Yunyun merely blushed a little and had no other reaction.
"This is unbearable, so you're a philandering... hmph, little radish, thank you very much for bringing me here. Once I get on my feet here and move out, I'll repay you, but as for the matter of being a wife in the future, forget it!"
Huihui seemed very angry; after saying such words, she puffed up with anger and returned to the room Broly had prepared for her.
Darkness and Wiz looked at each other in dismay, while Aqua planted her hands on her hips and stood up, somewhat angrily saying: "What exactly is that girl's deal?
She followed my cute disciple back, yet gets angry because he has more wives — didn't she know about this beforehand? Damn it, slamming the table here, calling my cute disciple a philandering little radish, does she not put me, her future master-mother-in-law, in her eyes at all?"
Huihui's attitude left Aqua extremely dissatisfied; she felt her status as mother-in-law had been provoked, and while gulping down alcohol she spat out complaints at the departing girl.
"Calm down, calm down, Aqua, you've known for a long time that she's a somewhat tsundere little kid, right?"
Wiz persuaded from the side.
"Broly, you have to manage her properly, show your manliness!"
Aqua didn't listen, and said to Broly.
"It seems I indeed never told Huihui and Yunyun about the other wives."
Broly thought carefully for a moment, only then discovering this matter he had ignored.
Although he had often spoken of Aqua and the other two in front of Huihui and Yunyun.
But because no one came to ask about his relationship with Aqua and the other two, he also didn't take the initiative to explain the situation.
"Honestly, I thought you all were Broly's older sisters."
Yunyun said in a small voice from the chair beside her.
"So, you want to slam the table too?"
Aqua looked at her with an unkind gaze.
"No no no, I think more people is a good thing."
Compared to Huihui's agitation, Yunyun accepted the status quo quite quickly.
"Yunyun really is a good daughter-in-law!"
And the girl's obedience unexpectedly won the favor of Mother-in-law Aqua.
"Broly, should we go coax Huihui?"
After Aqua got drunk, Yunyun leaned over and asked softly.
"Indeed I should go apologize."
Broly nodded.
"Hah, thinking a simple sorry will make me directly accept your harem-expanding ways, do you think that's possible?"
Unfortunately, Huihui did not accept his apology, stating that once she found a formal job here, she would move out soon.
Regarding this, Broly could only choose to respect the other party's choice, harboring a sort of "gain it and it's my fortune, lose it and it's my fate" Buddhist mindset.
However, mainly it was because Huihui's Happiness Value wasn't high, plus Broly wasn't the type to especially like pressing his hot face against a cold butt.
After failing to get positive feedback from Huihui many times, he practically adopted a corresponding attitude of respect.
Of course, if Huihui's Happiness Value were high enough, perhaps it would be another matter, but there are no ifs.
Without having forged sufficient intimate feelings, Broly's gaze toward Huihui was destined to measure her purely from the angle of Happiness Value.
Although he would treat Huihui with more favor than ordinary people, that was the extent of it; Broly would never therefore blame Aqua Master, let alone let the other wives who had closer relationships with him be wronged.
Time quickly passed another half month; while Yunyun had already gotten along very well with the others and started working as an Alchemy Apprentice at Wiz's shop, jointly managing the Vitality Potion family business with great money-making prospects, Huihui continued to suffer setbacks in her job search.
No helping it, her personality was too proud, plus she only knew Explosion Magic, and could only cast the amount for a single Explosion Magic. Even working part-time as a Blaster at a quarry, her efficiency could only reach the effect of a Mage proficient in Explosion Magic blasting rocks.
Of course, this isn't to say Explosion Magic's power is no good, but precisely because it's too good, it's not too suitable for production-type industries.
"Yo, parasite Huihui, found a job yet?"
Aqua lay on the sofa roasting by the fireplace; seeing Huihui return looking exhausted, she enthusiastically greeted her.
"Who are you calling a parasite?"
Huihui glared at the lazy Aqua on the sofa with angry eyes.
"Right, when are you moving out to live on your own?"
In response, Aqua merely asked a single sentence, and the flames of anger in Huihui's heart were doused like a basin of cold water.
"After I find stable work..."
She answered in a small voice.
"But as far as I know, you're only doing part-time work right now; when will you be able to find stable work?"
Aqua leaned in, pursuing the question with some ill intent.
"Right now it's just because it's winter, the Adventurer's Guild doesn't have many commission quests; come spring next year, I'll definitely be able to, as a formidable Red Demon Clan Archmage, find a suitable party at the Adventurer's Guild to be active in and earn big money!"
Huihui argued.
"Put that way, you'll still be freeloading at our house, being a parasite for a very long time?"
"Aaaah, I already said, when the time comes I'll pay back the money and settle the food and accommodation fees! As for you, Aqua, you guy who does nothing all day in this house and just drinks your life away, you're the real parasite of this house, aren't you?!"
Aqua's relentless pressing made Huihui explode, directly pointing at Aqua and saying.
"What parasite, I'm Broly's master, and supporting the elderly is a virtue everyone should uphold; I'm merely being supported by my cute disciple."
"Damn it, you shameless old woman!"
"Hmph, you're the nameless one freeloading in my house, you bad guy!"
"Hah, this isn't your house, it's Broly's house, I'm staying here as his ordinary friend!"
"Broly is my cute disciple, his house is my house; as for your ordinary friend status, whose ordinary friend freeloads in someone else's house for such a long time?"
"Ahh~ Those two are fighting again."
The others who returned home one after another walked in to find Huihui and Aqua grappling with each other.
As for this kind of fight, they were already used to it and thought nothing of it.
Originally it was Darkness and Aqua, but once Huihui arrived, Aqua took great displeasure to this girl who didn't want to become her disciple's wife, and would find trouble with Huihui every time.
And honestly, if Broly weren't here and insisted on treating Huihui well, Aqua might well have started serving Huihui the household's leftover food, and even built a doghouse for her to live in out in the courtyard.
According to Aqua, an ungrateful wretch like Huihui shouldn't be treated with excessive courtesy.
"Huihui, why don't you change your mind? As long as you agree to become Broly's wife like me, Master Aqua won't make things difficult for you."
"I won't. If I had to have a vicious master mother-in-law like that lording over my head in the future, I'd rather die!"
"ε=(ο`*))) Sigh, never mind them, Yunyun. Let's make dinner together."
Darkness called out to Yunyun, thinking to herself that regarding the parasitic worms, Aqua and Huihui were basically half a catty, eight taels — evenly matched.
Even Huihui, who actually goes out and works hard to find a job, is better than Aqua, who just lazes around at home in a drunken dream.
Of course, Aqua has her moments of usefulness too; occasionally when the family goes out, she'll toss some long-lasting buffs onto everyone, making her a family mascot who provides powerful buffs.
However, Wiz, being a Lich, misses out on Aqua's buffs that carry holy power.
