Chapter 27

"Creak~"

Cheap wooden boots trod over dead branches, two petite figures running swiftly through woods dense with tree roots and full of obstacles.

"Older Sister, I, I can't run anymore!"

The small girl was even younger in age, and ever since she got on the slave traders' cart, every day she only had a bit of food barely enough to survive.

After entering the forest, encountering various dangerous beasts, in the process of trying to flee, her physical strength had already been consumed very severely, now she could barely run.

"Cheer up, Kurome, don't give up."

Akame encouraged her younger sister, but the beast roars behind them were getting closer and closer.

"Ah~"

The small girl's physical strength gave out, her steps unsteady, and accidentally, she was tripped by vines on the ground.

"Kurome!"

The girl running in front immediately stopped her steps.

"Forget me, Older Sister you run quickly."

Kurome lay on the ground, her eye sockets red from the pain of the fall and fear, yet she shouted so at the older girl ahead.

Seeing this, the wolf-type Danger Beasts chasing them from behind, wearing down their stamina, immediately pounced toward the fallen girl.

"Don't think about harming my younger sister!"

Akame directly drew the only weapon in her hand, a small knife, and with a loud shout charged at the wolf-type Danger Beast almost the same size as herself.

Akame was very flexible, dodging the wolf-type Danger Beast's bite, a knife stabbing into the beast's neck.

But pity, the angle was wrong, the force also too light, merely opening a cut on the wolf's neck, and she was quickly shaken off by the wolf-type Danger Beast shaking its head.

A wounded beast is dangerous, this wolf-type Danger Beast shifted its hatred, beast pupils staring dead at the girl who injured it, who was thrown flying and fell in a mess on the ground, roared once and charged over, preparing to bite to death that prey who injured it first.

"Don't harm my Older Sister!"

Just as it was about to bite Akame, Kurome had also climbed up from the ground, the small girl seemed to have burst forth potential ability, from the side stabbing the knife into its abdomen, with the inertia of the charge, this knife sliced open the wolf-type Danger Beast's belly.

The wolf-type Danger Beast wanted to counterattack, but Akame also climbed up and rushed over, pressing the dagger still on its neck in deeper.

With an awoo, this calf-sized wolf-type Danger Beast let out its final wail, and just like that was solved by the Two Pupils sisters.

"Kurome, are you okay?"

"Okay, Older Sister?" "I'm also okay, we survived."

The two girls slumped on the wolf corpse, both feeling a sense of survival after disaster.

But this feeling didn't last long, low roars rang out one after another in the surrounding woods.

The final wolf howl caused the wolf-type Danger Beasts scattered hunting intruding prey in their territory to gather over.

"Kurome."

Akame pulled the small girl behind her, pulled the bloodied small knife from the wolf's neck, aiming at the three newly appeared wolf-type Danger Beasts.

"Older Sister……"

Kurome also tightly gripped the bloodied small knife, leaning close to the older girl's side, they were surrounded by this pack of wolf-type Danger Beasts.

"Wait, I'll delay them, you directly run back."

Akame lowered her voice and said.

"I'm not going, I want to fight together with Older Sister."

Kurome shook her head, she didn't want to abandon Older Sister.

"Idiot, only if you with poor stamina run can I escape."

"Older Sister……"

"Don't cry, Dad and Mom are already dead, but we must survive."

"Mm, I will……"

Kurome's words not yet finished, were interrupted by a questioning voice.

"Excuse me, is this for me to eat?"

Broly just transmigrated over, and immediately ran into two girls deemed capturable by the Crystal Palace.

【Akame, current Happiness Value 0】

【Kurome, current Happiness Value 0】

And beside them, lay a fresh prey corpse, Broly exchanged out his last boxed rice meal and gave it to his father, his next meal still had no prospect, so he asked these two wives he ran into directly upon transmigrating.

"Hm?"

The boy suddenly appearing beside them gave the two sisters a scare.

"Where did you come from?"

Akame pulled her younger sister and vigilantly asked him.

"Me? Just transmigrated over."

Broly honestly confessed.

"Transmigration?"

Before the two could figure out what transmigration meant, one of the wolf-type Danger Beasts surrounding them couldn't hold back and moved.

"Careful!"

Akame hurriedly warned the boy of the danger behind him, but the next moment her voice abruptly stopped.

Because the wolf's jaws bit onto the boy's head, the fresh blood spraying was not the boy at all, but that giant wolf biting his head, its sharp teeth directly shattered by the reaction force.

"Don't make my head all sticky." Broly disliked the sticky feeling, it reminded him of Vampa Spiders, raised his foot and kicked the wolf-type Danger Beast biting his head.

He didn't use much force, yet also made this wolf-type Danger Beast widen its eyes, arch its back, spine piercing out from its back, then large amounts of fresh blood sprayed.

However, this brutal scene did not make the other two wolf-type Danger Beasts retreat, on the contrary the companion's spraying blood further stimulated their nerves.

The eyes of these two slightly smaller wolf-type Danger Beasts turned red, and a crimson glow rose from their bodies; like canines seized by rabies, they charged from left and right.

But with just two bangs, Broly smashed their wolf heads directly; headless corpses fell to the ground, adding some meat to the food stores of the Saiyan who had just come to this world.

"Blood tastes bad."

Broly was a bit thirsty; he lifted the headless wolf corpses straight up and drank their body fluids from the severed necks, but after two mouthfuls he stuck out his red tongue.

His mouth, however, had been spoiled by normal food; the first time he transmigrated he still thought Crest Worms tasted good, but the second time he transmigrated, after drinking the body fluid of the new world's food for the first mouthful, he found it unpalatable.

"That's only natural, because that's blood, and it's Danger Beast blood at that."

Akame retorted, but quickly pulled her younger sister back further, because that boy who looked like a hairy, blood-drinking little savage held the headless wolf corpses in his hands out toward their side.

"Do you want to drink? I can treat you."

Akame: "..."

"Why would you take something you yourself find unpalatable and offer it to us to drink?"

Kurome asked directly.

"Because I don't want to drink blood, and I don't want to waste it."

Broly said honestly.

The Two-Pupil sisters: "..."

This logic has no flaw.

"Anyway, thank you for saving me and my younger sister."

Akame thanked sincerely; if not for this suddenly appearing boy, she and her younger sister might have died here, just like those other children already killed by Danger Beasts.

"No need to thank, helping you is what I should do."

Broly said quite happily; the Crystal Palace's prompt was reminding him that the Happiness Values on these two wife girls in front of him were continuously rising — in just a short while Akame had risen to 12 points, and Kurome as the younger sister had also risen to 9 points.

"A wife's happiness is my happiness."

Thinking of 21 Happiness Value points, and the Happiness Points convertible after they become Official Members of the Crystal Palace being exchangeable for food, Broly couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

But following his father Paragus's instructions, he had to raise the Happiness Values on the wives he found to the highest — unable to go higher — before he could invite them, otherwise he would lose a lot of Happiness Points.

"Wife?"

Akame was a bit puzzled.

"It means best friend."

Broly explained.

"I want to be best friends with you two."

Saying that, he stretched his hand out toward the two.

"What are you doing?"

Recalling the scene of the boy blasting a wolf head with one punch just now, both Akame and Kurome subconsciously stepped back again.

"Of course it's to shake hands with you; this is a way to make friends (find wives) that a best friend of mine taught me before."

"Uh..."

The Two-Pupil sisters looked at each other, felt the boy had no malice, and lowered their guard, extending their small hands to shake Broly's.

"Shake hands, best friends; from today on, you two are my, Broly's, two best friends in this world, hmm, do you want to eat meat?"

"Eh?!"

The topic jumped a bit fast, but Broly's words weren't strange; he's always more interested in food.

And before, when eating together with Fujimura Taiga, the other party's Happiness Value also rose extremely fast.

That's right, Broly had already used what he himself considered the first form of grinding Happiness Value: 【Invite Wife to Eat Rice Together!】

After her parents died, because she needed to take care of her younger sister, Akame gained maturity surpassing children of the same age.

"It's dangerous here, let's go to a safe place to eat."

But this maturity did not affect her actually being hungry, actually wanting to eat something.

"Mm, okay."

Broly didn't feel this place had any dangerous spots, but he didn't contradict his best friend's words; he directly tore off several vines, bundled the four wolf-type Danger Beast corpses on the ground, and hoisted them onto his shoulders — these were rations for him and his two best friends.

"He-help."

Not far on, Broly and the Two-Pupil sisters ran into a patch of Man-Eating Flower bushes; this is a dangerous plant that normally doesn't move, but if prey approaches, it immediately uses its huge petals to bite the approaching prey, trapping and killing it in the flower bud to turn it into nutrients.

Before, in the Gifnora Sea Tree Forest, these Man-Eating Flowers survived by catching insects, flies, and beasts + photosynthesis, but now suddenly some children traversing the forest intruded into their territory, so these terrifying large flowers naturally used their big petals to swallow one misentered child after another.

And the one crying for help now is precisely a girl with half her body already inside a Man-Eating Flower's mouth; her small face is full of terror, but the passing children didn't go to save her, instead fearfully circling around this dangerous flower bush.

The officer outside who drove them into the forest said only by crossing the forest and reaching the central clearing could they survive.

Therefore, after entering this crisis-ridden woods, most children's minds only thought of one thing: reaching a safe place.

On this point Akame was the same, but just as she prepared to detour around the Man-Eating Flower bush, she saw the boy beside her put down the wolf corpses on his back.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"She's crying for help, isn't she? She looks like she really wants to get out; I'm preparing to help her out."
