Chapter 30
"Here."
Akame chewed on the grilled meat, and before she could even swallow the first mouthful, she suddenly spat out the meat in her mouth, and on top of that, snatched the meat skewer from her younger sister's hand, handing the two skewers that had just touched her lips to the boy beside her.
"You all aren't eating?"
Broly was somewhat confused.
"We'll eat, but you eat first."
"I still have a lot here."
On the large tree leaves in front of Broly lay many first mouthfuls of meat given to him by others.
"We also want to acknowledge you as Big Brother."
Akame spoke seriously; the wandering life with her younger sister had been too hard, and she also wanted an object of reliance.
Obviously, she had heard those words about acknowledging a Big Brother spoken by the little fatty not far away, and after careful consideration, right before the meat was about to enter her stomach, Akame's rationality overcame the instinct of hunger in her belly, choosing to give the first mouthful of meat she hadn't yet eaten to Broly, along with her younger sister Kurohito's share as well.
【Kurohito Happiness Value Decreasing】
"You're already my best friends, no need to give me meat……"
【Akame Happiness Value Decreasing】
【Kurohito Happiness Value Increasing】
Broly paused for a moment, then handed over the grilled meat he was eating: "How about this, I eat your meat, you eat my meat, we exchange and eat meat together."
【Akame Happiness Value Rising】
【Kurohito Happiness Value Rising】
Akame agreed, as if concluding some inexplicable contract, and ate Broly's grilled meat in exchange.
Not minding the boy's saliva on the grilled meat much at all, Akame gnawed on the meat pieces.
Seeing the grilled meat return, Kurohito also became happy, like a little squirrel, grabbing the tree branches on both sides of the skewer, she went *kachi kachi* gnawing away.
Although the two sisters' ways of eating weren't too similar, their eating speeds were comparatively synchronized, both very fast.
Before long, they had eaten the large meat skewers clean.
Hugging their knees, waiting for new meat skewers to be grilled by the campfire.
"How about, you eat mine first?"
Broly said; his speed of eating meat was actually faster than the two of them combined.
But he couldn't bear the amount of meat on his side, and people kept sending him new grilled meat skewers continuously.
"How embarrassing."
Akame was more reserved; two minutes later.
"Who grilled this meat, it's really delicious, has a sweet taste."
"I grilled it; before grilling the meat, I soaked the meat in flower nectar for a while."
Chikushi raised her hand; before her family was killed by bandits, she often watched how her mother handled meat, and she counted as one of the few girls who had grasped a bit of culinary skill before becoming a wandering child.
"Did I do something wrong?"
She asked with some worry.
"No, you're amazing!"
Hearing the other party's meat was delicious, Broly directly bit off the portion of grilled meat Akame hadn't finished eating.
And this taste that stood out from the other grilled meat made new information surface in his mind.
"What is 'amazing'?"
Before Chikushi could figure it out, a pile of grilled meat skewers was stuffed into her hands by the boy who rushed over.
"Let's exchange!"
Correspondingly, Broly took away her grilled meat.
This BBQ continued until midnight; the other children had long since eaten their fill.
But Broly wasn't full; the remaining ingredients were all cleaned up by him alone.
Two years; he hadn't eaten like this for two years.
"We're resting here tonight, but it's dangerous here, we'll take turns……"
Nahashu's words about taking turns keeping watch hadn't finished when Broly, having eaten and drunk his fill, directly fired an energy blast at a giant tree not far away.
The reason the Gifnora Sea Tree Forest is called a Sea Tree Forest is because the trees here are countless and all extremely tall.
According to Broly's experience living as a caveman on Nappa Star, living in a higher place can avoid many dangers.
The dense canopy was annihilated by the energy bullet; Broly returned to the ground and said to everyone: "You can sleep up there with me."
Very good, very powerful; this Big Brother is very reliable, directly solving the sleeping place. Of course, up in the tree isn't necessarily safe either, but compared to the rustling sounds constantly rising from under the tree, and the occasional deep beast pupils visible in the distance, it's safe by far too much.
"So high, I don't have confidence I can climb up."
However, the terrifying height of the giant tree whose canopy was blasted away also made some children with not strong climbing abilities shrink back in fear.
"You all can't fly?"
Broly scratched his head.
"The way you put it, it's like humans flying is the normal thing!"
No one spoke, yet it was as if they all voiced the complaints in their hearts at the same time.
"Alright, I'll take you up."
After seeing everyone's reaction, Broly only then remembered that people from other worlds usually can't fly.
These two-plus years on Nappa Star doing Ki Flight, flying for so long his brain got a bit flight-stupid, every day just thinking speed up, speed up, speed up again.
Casually pulling two sturdy vines for people to grab, Broly went up and down four round trips, only then delivering a total of seventy-three children onto the big tree.
The giant tree's cross-section was very wide; although not very flat, the tree core was unexpectedly soft, with the feeling of a mattress.
He didn't take a torch; on the tallest tree nearby, the bright moon in the sky could provide enough light.
Broly thought for a moment, went to a nearby tree, picked some large leaves, came back, and threw them to this group of External Wife's children to use as blankets.
A night without words — that was an impossible thing; when these children were in the hands of the Slave Traders before, they had suffered quite a bit of torture.
And before becoming sellable Commodities, their origins varied; some were sold to Slave Traders by their parents, some had become orphans due to accidents and wandered begging everywhere, and some had been kidnapped by people.
The sobbing sounds on the tree, the occasional voices of relatives comforting each other, made Broly a bit unable to sleep; regarding the situation of these same-age people about his age, he didn't understand very well, but they looked like they all wanted to have a Home or return Home.
【So, does this not count as a Home?】
Broly thought, no one gave him an answer.
Thought for a while, didn't think out a Conclusion.
Simply put, Broly then paid attention to the Crystal Palace.
This Transmigration, the time he could stay in This World was……
"62 days 06 hours 30 minutes 22 seconds?"
"Eh, why so much?"
【Prompt, because This World does not have a subjective World Will that rejects outsiders, this Crystal Palace therefore does not need to expend extra Time-Space Energy to conduct counteraction.】
【Note: Because the passive Rejection force of each world is different, therefore the time one can remain Stranded in an Isekai after Transmigrating to different worlds is also not the same, but the more Time-Space Energy, the longer the time one can remain Stranded.】
Being able to have more time to stay in This World, this was a Very Good piece of news; Broly fell asleep very Satisfied.
Next Day early morning, Broly was woken up by a commotion; it was an early-rising Bird-type Danger Beast that Discovered them on the tree.
Bird-type Danger Beasts do not use smell to Judge Danger, therefore they Actively Launched an attack on them; Fortunately the lightly-sleeping Nahashu Discovered it in Advance, and with a loud shout scared this not-too-large Bird-type Danger Beast, simultaneously also waking the other children sleeping on the trees.
When Broly got up, some more capable children were already entangled with that large bird that had landed on the tree.
Among them, one child was precisely the chubby little Luosang who had spoken the "acknowledge big brother" Statement last night; he was sturdily built and had strength, counting as rushing to the front line, but was also a bit Unlucky, being prioritized and targeted by the large bird.
"Luosang!"
The large bird grabbed him with one claw; he resisted with Hands and Feet; the surrounding children who had just met him last night shouted his name.
Children rushed up to help, but the Small Knives in their hands fundamentally could not Break Through the thick feather layer on this Bird-type Danger Beast that had flown onto the tree.
As for stabbing the bird's claw, that layered keratin claw was hard like a Thick/Substantial wood block; with these children's strength, they could only pierce the surface layer, then could not pierce further.
Broly walked over yawning, only feeling this New World was a Not Bad place; just woke up and food Actively Came to the door.
"All move aside, I'm going to start Acting Cool!"
Casually saying the words that suddenly floated up in his mind, Broly walked to the front of the large bird under the other children's moving-aside actions.
The large bird looked at him approaching; just now it was using the little fatty under its claw as bait, wanting to peck those children coming to Save People; now was no Exception.
But Broly's Outburst Speed was faster; in one go he grabbed its bird claw; under its large eyes revealing a humanized 【What's the use of this】 expression, he Raised it up.
Broly Directly started swinging, *pa pa pa* whipping the large bird, Smashing it against the surrounding Giant Tree cross-sections.
Just two or three hits' work, the large bird Twitched, turning into a dead bird.
"Eat it in the morning."
Pointing at the dead large bird, Broly said to the surrounding children; the children cheered.
Although Yesterday they had already witnessed Broly's situation of Hunting Danger Beasts, today witnessing it again they were still full of admiration for Broly.
One look, and you know following such a Powerful Big Brother, in the future they Definitely won't go Hungry.
