Chapter 318: Let those who have fantasies about opening the Crystal Palace show me what they've got!

Broly's overly blunt words left some of those present thunderstruck.

Rin Tohsaka and Sakura exchanged glances, not finding it too surprising.

Because they knew the boy's motive for seeking a wife might simply be to have normal food to eat.

However, for those who didn't know this, such as Karen, the white-haired Little Nun, she regarded the boy as a pervert.

"Saying such things to a girl you've just met—are you some kind of little pervert?"

She held her hands before her, stepped back slightly bending her knees, adopting a guarded posture.

And on her face, she looked even more vigilant.

"If not, then forget it."

Broly felt a little disappointed, but immediately adjusted his mindset.

Inviting a Capture Target recognized by the Crystal Palace to be his wife was a habit he had developed over many years.

But in fact, a wife without a Happiness Value held little attraction for him.

When he came over, Broly hadn't thought he would encounter a new Capture Target in this World.

Just now he had asked the Little Nun if she was willing to be his friend with the result of becoming his wife.

It was merely a shot-in-the-dark behavior, purely subconscious.

In other words, even if it were a stray dog by the roadside, as long as the Crystal Palace recognized it as a Capture Target.

Broly would go ask it after encountering it.

"Huh?!"

Seeing the boy give up so decisively, Karen was instead taken aback.

"Aren't you going to try a little harder?"

She asked.

"Didn't you refuse?"

Broly looked at her in confusion.

"Strange, how is the development of events not quite like what I've seen in books?"

"What do you mean?"

Rin Tohsaka asked in confusion, and Sakura also looked over with some doubt.

"Isn't that how it's drawn in some manga?"

"After the male lead fails in his confession, he still pursues the female lead relentlessly."

"Some even use mental hypnosis on the female lead..."

"Wait, what kind of manga are you reading?"

"Naturally it's yellow..."

"Alright, you'd better not say it."

The white-haired Little Nun hadn't finished speaking when she was interrupted by Rin Tohsaka, who had already realized what she wanted to say.

"So, I should actually pursue you relentlessly, and even use some mental hypnosis?"

Broly asked somewhat doubtfully.

"No, Broly, you definitely can't do that; her loss for not liking you."

"Yes, that's right."

Sakura nodded by her side, echoing her sister's words.

"Hey, it's just a young-looking fiance, do you have to talk about him like he's a treasure?"

The Little Nun crossed her arms over her chest and shouted with some dissatisfaction.

"He is indeed a treasure, but that's for us."

Rin Tohsaka shrugged her shoulders, offering no further explanation.

"Brother Broly is a good person; in this World, there is no one better than him."

Sakura also said seriously.

"Really?"

The Little Nun re-examined the boy, but aside from the belt around his waist being somewhat furry and strange, she still couldn't see anything about him worthy of the two sisters' praise.

"Karen, I think you can consider it."

Just then, Kirei Kotomine in the wheelchair behind spoke.

"Father?"

The white-haired Little Nun turned back and looked over with some doubt.

"You are a girl, and eventually you must be entrusted to another when you grow up, while the boy before you is an excellent match."

"Huh, Father, you know him too?"

"I know him; seven years ago, I had the honor of being struck by him, and I didn't die."

Kirei Kotomine nodded and said.

"Huh?" *2

"I struck you?"

"He struck you?"

"Struck."

"Then you still speak well of him?"

Although these years, it had been Karen carefully attending to the paralyzed Kirei Kotomine.

But toward her father Kirei Kotomine, the white-haired Little Nun still felt some worship.

For example, in his youth, Father was an Executor of the Church, mastered a formidable Bajiquan, and was an expert.

Therefore, upon hearing that the other party had once been beaten by the boy, Karen found it somewhat hard to believe.

Her golden pupils also glared at the boy, somewhat angry, as if misunderstanding something.

"Don't misunderstand, the paralysis of my body was not caused by him.

And my speaking up for him is merely judging the matter on its own merits.

Karen, your constitution is very special, destined to need someone to protect you.

And from the angle of a partner, he, who can defeat a Heroic Spirit, is the best choice."

The Priest's voice was very magnetic, speaking unhurriedly.

"I don't need anyone's protection, I can protect myself just fine."

However, the white-haired Little Nun felt some dissatisfaction at his words.

While retorting, she also made a motion of throwing a punch forward.

"Hah—"

The sleeve of her simple nun's habit scraped an obvious sound through the air.

A decent-looking punch; the Little Nun was actually a practitioner.

"Your Bajiquan is trained not bad, but only limited to dealing with Ordinary People.

If used to deal with some dangerous Mystery existences, for example Demons, then it still won't work.

But your Spirit Medium Constitution is destined to attract some dangerous existences……"

"Isn't there still the Church and Holy Artifacts?"

"The Church knowing your constitution will only treat you as a tool, using you to Exorcise.

As for Holy Artifacts, while I am Alive, I can still use Connections to temporarily Preserve them.

But after I pass away, that kind of thing will only attract the covetous gaze of the greedy."

Pausing a moment, Kotomine Kirei then continued: "Although your personality is not the least bit like your mother's, as your Father, I still hope you can properly live in This World, freely and safely, from now on."

Mother being mentioned, the white-haired Little Nun's expression turned somewhat cold.

"Father, you really do say some moving words."

Her voice/tone also rose a few degrees.

"Pity my mother back then did not obtain this expectation of yours; I heard from Grandfather that she committed Suicide before you, yet you remained unmoved."

The Little Nun spoke with some sarcasm.

"My Father, your Grandfather, really did tell you some unnecessary things."

"He just felt I had the Qualification to know the truth."

Kotomine Kirei sighed, then explained to his daughter: "At that time I only felt everything in the world was Void, and did not understand the preciousness of life.

After becoming paralyzed, living days of inconvenient movement, I suddenly felt the Authenticity of the world, and the preciousness of life and Health."

Pausing a moment, the Priest continued: "I won't say sorry to you, but I will pass on all these experiences of mine to you; this is probably a Father's Love for his daughter."

"It's merely your self-satisfaction."

Karen would not acknowledge his statement.

This pair of Father and Daughter, one sentence you, one sentence me, turned the Customer at the Side directly into a listener.

"If there's nothing of mine, I'll leave; I'm pressed for time."

Broly felt listening at the Side wasn't proper, so he interrupted the Father and Daughter's dialogue in front of him.

"If you want to leave then leave, no one's keeping you Here."

"Please stay a moment, I want to have a detailed talk with you about my daughter's matters."

This pair of Father and Daughter are very interesting, one seeing off the guest, one detaining the guest.

In the end, the white-haired Little Nun still couldn't overcome her Father's decision to detain the guest.

"Hmph, today's Mapo Tofu, I won't put in a single chili pepper."

She went to the Kitchen in a huff, making this cruel decision.

Kotomine Kirei loves eating spicy Mapo Tofu the most.

However, this decision was quickly overturned, because Broly was kept to eat together.

"Watch me not spice you to death."

Just as the white-haired Little Nun was cheating, pouring chili sauce into the tofu to Marinate, Little Sakura walked in.

"Karen Younger Sister, who are you going to spice to death?"

The girl who entered the Kitchen to help cook asked curiously.

"Of course spice my Father to death; he actually wants to Interfere with my future life."

The white-haired Little Nun hurriedly changed her words.

"Deeply agree, but I feel you agreeing to become Broly's wife is a Not Bad choice."

Rin Tohsaka also walked in to help; she agreed with the Little Nun's resentment at Father Interfering with her own life, but also spoke up for the boy.

"You all came to be matchmakers?"

Karen asked.

"I find it Unimaginable Cost that in this era, there is still the thought of Sharing a Man."

These words made Little Sakura flush red, while Rin Tohsaka pinched the girl's cheek.

"Don't misunderstand, our relationship with Broly isn't as Shady Dealings as you think.

Everything is very Healthy; him finding you as a wife is just wanting to have normal meals to eat."

Rin Tohsaka's words made Little Sakura recover, and she chimed in at the Side.

"Yeah, Broly just wants to eat normal food in his own world, there's definitely none of that stuff you're thinking of."

"What stuff? I didn't say anything, Little Sister Sakura, if you put it like that, could it be you've also seen some yellow..."

"No way!"

Sakura hurriedly interrupted, but her reaction proved she'd secretly seen it.

And this blame falls on Aqua and Shinclair Balon.

When those two fought in the group chat room, they dared post all kinds of explicit stuff.

This directly corrupted Sakura, this somewhat innocent girl, making her sneak into the bookstore early to peek at things girls her age shouldn't see.

Of course, it's not a big deal, at most it just made the girl more precocious than other girls her age.

"Anyway, becoming his wife is all benefits and no harm, as long as you have Happiness Points you can exchange for many precious Magecraft materials."

"And lots of delicious food, plus you can make friends from other worlds..."

Just as Rin and Sakura, the two sisters, were in the kitchen cooking while chatting with Karen about the benefits of agreeing to become the boy's wife.

Outside, Kirei Kotomine was also asking Broly about why he struck Tohsaka Tokiomi during the Fourth War.

Upon learning the Saiyan boy really did strike Tohsaka Tokiomi and eliminate the Heroic Spirit for a girl's sake, Kirei Kotomine also felt relieved.

"Broly, can I entrust Karen to you?"

【Parents' command, matchmaker's words...】

Crystal Palace gave a prompt.

And this kind of similar prompt made Broly involuntarily look at the first wife on the Crystal Palace Panel.

That super background wife he still hadn't met, Illyasviel von Einzbern.

"But she's not willing?"

However, unlike back then in this world when she accepted outright without reservation, Broly now hesitated somewhat.

"Whether Karen is willing is her business, I'm only asking if you yourself are willing to look after her a bit in the future?"

"If she truly becomes my wife, I'll definitely look after her."

Broly nodded and said.

And just as his words fell, the white-haired little nun on the kitchen side also received Crystal Palace's invitation.

"How strange, you're all like this too, becoming that boy's wife?"

Karen asked, somewhat surprised by the Crystal Palace prompt message suddenly appearing in her consciousness.

"That's right, you've already received the invitation?"

"Mhm, seems like it."

"Then you must not agree directly."

"Huh, why? The implication of your words is clearly wanting me to agree, right?"

Karen was somewhat confused.

"We do want you to agree, but among Crystal Palace Official Members there are rankings, the more Happiness Points you have, the higher your status in the Cross-World Group Chat, and the items in the Exchange Shop also require sufficient Happiness Points to exchange."

"That's right, Happiness Points are very precious, they represent how much Broly likes us."

"Although I don't think that way of putting it is right, anyway that thing is the more the better, and there's only one way to acquire large amounts of Happiness Points, that is before you've agreed to become Broly's wife, raise his Happiness Value as much as possible..."

"Quite an interesting setting, just like playing a real-life Galgame."

Karen was already somewhat interested, as could be seen from her washing away the chili sauce that was meant to spice the boy to death and pickle tofu.

"So I need to curry his favor, right?"

"That's right, but precisely speaking, it should be making him feel happiness."

Rin Tohsaka corrected.

"Then specifically what to do?"

Karen asked.

"Treat Broly to delicious food."

Little Sakura answered immediately.

"This is acknowledged by all of us Crystal Palace members as the simplest, most effective way to make Broly feel happiness."

Rin Tohsaka nodded, expressing agreement with her sister's words.

"So you helping each other speak is actually also making him feel happiness?"

Karen asked curiously.

"Counts as it, his world has no delicious food at all (Wanpa Star intel not updated on Rin Tohsaka's side), helping persuade you to agree to become his wife is also just so he can eat better after returning to his world."

Rin Tohsaka didn't deny her motive this time, acting as a wife to help the boy capture a new wife is indeed a bit absurd.

However, considering it's just helping the boy get more Happiness Points so he can live better after returning to his world, it becomes understandable.

Wife is just a name, actually the relationship among Crystal Palace Official Members is more like being pulled into a group together by the boy, netizens with common topics to chat about.

Normally in the group chat room, they pay to brag, chat, occasionally share daily life, collect ten-odd Happiness Points daily, stay silent to accumulate, then exchange for good stuff in the Exchange Shop.

Just like a welfare group with claimable benefits, one more person coming in doesn't affect others' interests.

Of course, the previous Aqua excluded, she wanted to secure the Group Chat Room Owner position, but conversely, when not treating others as opponents, this situation won't occur.

On the contrary, one more person lets Broly get more Happiness Points to gain a better life, why not?

Jealousy, envy and such, Rin Tohsaka had thought about these things, but that was before meeting Broly again.

After meeting Broly, discovering the other party is still a kid, forget it, maybe in a few more years they'd talk about this stuff.

As for now, the relationships among most Official Members inside Crystal Palace are still relatively harmonious.

And relationships between Official Members from the same world are generally better than with Isekai members.

Rin Tohsaka roughly explained the interpersonal relationships among wives inside Crystal Palace and the Group Chat Room's daily chatter, and the white-haired little nun's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Hmm, letting her simply agree to become a strange boy's wife, she definitely wouldn't be willing, but if after agreeing to become the other party's wife, she didn't need to pay the costs she previously thought, could get not bad welfare, and could also lurk in that wife group chat room, watching the chat between others...

For the little nun who normally needs to care for a disabled old father, and finds daily life somewhat dull and boring, this was an attraction.

"I've changed my mind, I'm willing to take becoming your wife as the outcome, and make friends with you."

At the dining table, the little nun's words changing her attitude made Broly somewhat surprised.

"No need to thank, it was me and Sakura who helped persuade little Karen."

Rin Tohsaka definitely didn't hide her and her younger sister's merit.

"Thank you."

Broly sincerely gave thanks.

"Do you need me to do something for you?"

He asked towards Karen.

"Hmm, you all are the same, if there's anything you need me to help do, you can all propose it."

Broly looked towards Rin and little Sakura again, solemnly giving out a promise.

"I don't have anything I need you to help do, but if I can make a request, then I request that you stay in this world for a period of time, accompany me and little Sakura, and the others."

Little Sakura nodded, they didn't need the boy to help do things, only needed the boy's company.

"Mine is comparatively simple, my father and two older sisters all say you're very powerful, then, can you let me witness your power?"

The white-haired little nun was somewhat reckless, after eating and drinking her fill, she proposed the request to witness Broly's power.

But fortunately, the other party arrived at the courtyard, took a Bajiquan stance, and didn't let Broly freely perform, demonstrate the so-called power.

"This really is a newborn calf not fearing the tiger!"

Kirei Kotomine somewhat sighed at his daughter's bravery, but also didn't stop it.

Once the daughter takes a beating, she'll naturally know the boy's power.
