Chapter 362: Aqua's Big Surprise Gift!

Paragus was eating canned fruit in the mountain cave when a presence suddenly materialized before him, and he looked up in some surprise.

"Back so soon?"

He asked.

"Didn't find a new wife, the Happiness Points I get every day don't cover expenses, so after teaching Qi Refining Fist I came back."

Broly answered, then walked out of the cave and took out the food he had brought back this time from the Crystal Palace Space.

"Eh, what you brought back this time, how come it's raw food?"

Paragus stared blankly for a moment; two gigantic monsters occupied the surrounding area.

"These are Danger Beasts not inferior to the Vampa Spider. Originally I wanted to entrust them with protecting Akame, Main and the others, but they have no brains, ignored my communication, and chose to attack me. I deemed them dangerous monsters of that world, so I conveniently dealt with them and brought them back."

"Not inferior to the Vampa Spider, so are they tasty?"

Paragus frowned; the Vampa Spider's taste was truly unbearable for Saiyans.

"Don't know, I haven't tasted them yet."

Broly shook his head; he merely brought back the corpses of these two slain Danger Beasts on the principle of not wasting food.

"Have you eaten?"

Paragus asked.

"Still edible."

Broly replied.

The Saiyan father and son glanced at each other, one fetching the pot, the other hauling the corpses.

They went to the usual spot for heating food, a natural volcanic crater, and started an open-air barbecue.

"Eh, this one's not bad."

The Giant Snow Ape's meat received praise.

"Ugh, this soil smell is way too strong!"

The Swamp King's Multi-headed Venomous Snake got a named bad review.

This open-air barbecue lasted from evening until daybreak the next day; the Giant Snow Ape was reduced to a single skeleton.

The Multi-headed Snake remained intact, but the taste was no good.

On the way back to the cave, Broly took it and threw it into the Vampa Spider's nest.

"Bang—"

A thunderous boom made a swarm of Vampa Spiders scramble out of the nest.

"Rumble—"

Even the Vampa Spider Mother, mountain-sized in bulk, was startled.

"Thanks for taking care of me these years, here's some otherworld food for you."

Broly hovered mid-air and shouted down at the spiders.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

The Vampa Spider Mother let out a strange sound, and a group of Vampa Spiders only truck-sized carried out spider eggs and piled them on the open ground.

The Multi-headed Snake was dragged into the nest, the Vampa Spiders shrank back inside one by one, leaving only some spider eggs on the clearing.

Forced into this trade for so many years, the Vampa Spiders had long since formed the habit: when Saiyans bring things to exchange, they obediently hand over spider eggs or clan members.

Battles still occur, but they are no longer as fierce as before, more like a natural symbiotic relationship.

Just like the Vampa Spiders suck Bay Beast blood, and Bay Beasts also hunt the Vampa Spiders that suck their blood, except the Saiyans have become the middlemen.

Letting the Vampa Spiders trade their own laid eggs instead of adult spiders for Bay Beast blood — of course, now it's fruit, and otherworld creatures are a first-time exchange.

Broly descended from the sky, and without disdain collected the spider eggs on the clearing into the Crystal Palace Space.

Nowadays, the Vampa Spider's taste has improved; both adult Vampa Spiders and spider eggs make fine gifts.

This trip to see Akame and the others, Broly brought some along too, and whether the new-version Vampa Spider's taste or the Qi-replenishing effect after eating, both received good reviews from them.

Just a pity the Vampa Spider population is limited; impossible to bring a space-full of Vampa Spider gifts every time to visit the wives.

【If only the Vampa Spider numbers could be a bit more...】

Broly thought this, and did not fly back to the cave.

Instead he began Mobile Charging, flying circles around Nappa Star.

Right now, on the KonoSuba World side, Aqua Master is on duty in the heavens.

Broly has to wait until his own master takes leave before he can go back there.

Otherwise, as Aqua Master said, she'd probably have to skip work and sneak down to the Lower World to see him.

"But if the Heavenly Gods found out, I'd definitely get criticized, might even get demoted for dereliction of duty.

Promotions and raises aren't easy these days, I barely managed to climb up to the Main God position, can't lose it over something like this."

These were Aqua's original words in the Group Chat Room.

"Since that's the case, Broly should come to our world first; no work-hour restrictions here."

This was Sink Nirvalen's subsequent remark.

"Right, I can't wait to have a major throw-down with Broly!"

This was the Flügel Final Unit's remark.

"Hey, Jibril, that 'major throw-down' of yours, is it proper?"

The genius Red Demon Clan girl asked with a dubious expression.

"Of course it's proper — a battle to the death, the kind that costs lives!"

Jibril sent a serious expression pack.

"Costs lives — that's already improper!"

"+1"

"+1"

Under Darkness's retort was a string of +1s from the other wives.

As the Group Chat Room upgraded and speaking became cheaper, interaction between wives from different worlds increased.

"Speaking of which, why not let Broly come over first? Aqua, you can come down to see him after your vacation."

Yunyun proposed.

"Well said, Yunyun. Aqua, you just properly do your shift, and come down after your vacation!"

Darkness liked it, Megumin also liked it, and even the Lich lady liked it afterwards.

Then, as expected, the few of them got wildly sprayed as traitors by Aqua.

Saying she absolutely would not agree to Broly coming over while she was on duty, having to work in the heavens as the Goddess-sama.

Naturally, she also would not allow Sink Nirvalen, that bastard elf who once competed with her for the Group Leader position, to insert himself into her queue.

Faced with this, what could Broly do? He could only patiently wait for the Other World, for his own Goddess Master-sama's vacation time.

However, Broly also received a promise from Aqua: "Broly, rest assured, when the time comes and you come over to Master's side, Master will give you a mysterious big surprise."

Broly pursued the question of what big surprise, but Aqua didn't leak a bit of wind; asking Darkness and the others, they also didn't know what Aqua's surprise was.

The days on Nappa Star were somewhat boring, but fortunately not unbearable.

This day, Broly was flying near the edge of the atmosphere when the Crystal Palace Panel received a communication from Aqua.

"Master is on vacation, come quickly!"

Broly stopped flying, rapidly landed back on the ground, and found his old father.

"That troublesome Goddess Master of yours, finally let you go over?" Paragus had a poor impression of Aqua, but still made some Bay Beast Suits.

Broly brought some clothes, brought some spider eggs, brought some fruits, and only then chose to cross-world.

"Pa~"

Unlike when Broly went to the second world where Esdeath and the others were completely unprepared, Aqua and the others had made full preparations; when Broly abruptly appeared before them, they pulled party poppers at him to express welcome.

"They said you didn't grow taller; I didn't believe it at first, but unexpectedly it's really true."

Megumin stepped forward, looking at the still-short boy, and gestured with her hand on top of Broly's head.

"My father said, a Saiyan's body will suddenly grow after reaching a certain age."

Broly explained, his gaze lingering on Megumin's barren body, then retorted: "But Megumin you, after not seeing you for so long, how come your body hasn't developed much either? Could it be you also have a constitution like mine, where you suddenly develop and grow after reaching a certain age?"

The boy's eyes were very pure; the genius Red Demon Clan girl's complexion stiffened, and she retreated several steps in succession, sat on the sofa, and replied somewhat hesitantly: "Mhm, it's like that; I actually have a similar constitution too."

"That's not true; she just can't develop; she often secretly drinks milk and papaya soup, just to develop her chest and height!"

Darkness leaned over, and said to Broly in a small voice.

Read the no-mistake version at one-one-look!

"Ah, you bastard Darkness, eat my Wild Bull Charge!"

The voice wasn't low; Megumin heard it and pounced over.

She absolutely would not admit she was worried about her body development issues, and absolutely would not admit that in private, she ate a lot of food that could make her body develop.

"Kiriyu Restaurant, I was just speaking the truth."

Darkness, knocked down, struggled on the ground.

"You still dare say it~"

Megumin grabbed her two hands, stepped her foot on this Female Knight's back, and pulled backward.

"I already said, if you have the ability, just use more strength!"

Darkness said with a face full of expectation.

While these two people were noisily quarreling, Yunyun, wearing an apron, walked over: "Broly, this is the fish soup I cooked; you taste the saltiness."

The girl with a single twisted breadstick thick braid tied up had a thick married-woman scent on her body; holding a wooden bowl, she handed over the spoon holding the thick white fish soup.

Just smelling the scent, one could feel the fish soup's delicious fragrance; Broly opened his mouth and was fed a mouthful by Yunyun: "Saltiness suitable, very delicious!"

"Is that so? There's also this; I made fried Giant Frog meat steak, braised demon pig spare ribs, and..."

Today's Chef was Yunyun; the girl made a lot, a lot of food; after the fish soup obtained Broly's praise, she couldn't wait to want the boy to go taste the other foods' flavors.

"Eating things don't be urgent, Broly, first come look at what Master I prepared for you, the mysterious surprise!"

Aqua pushed a handcart in, and on the cart was a big gift box.

"Uh, Aqua Master, what is this?"

Broly looked at the half-person-tall box before him, yet could sense a Qi existence from inside.

"This is the thing you need most; come, open it and look."

Megumin stopped fighting the pervert knight; the two leaned over to check the situation.

They were also curious about the mysterious surprise gift Aqua prepared for Broly.

Only the Lich lady's complexion was somewhat worried, looking at Aqua as if wanting to ask something.

Broly obeyed, stepped forward, and opened the gift box.

The lid lifted; the first thing seen was a tuft of white hair.

Then, it was a human-shaped figure tied up like a rice dumpling.

"Wuwuwu!"

Upon seeing the boy, Eris was very excited, but her hands and feet were all tied, and even linked from behind with a slight arc, making her look like an arched fish, trying to use a water splash leap but only able to slightly sway her body.

"Eris-sama, how come you are here?!"

Darkness widened her eyes.

"Wah wah wah~"

Tears welled in Eris's eyes, but her mouth was also bound by rope, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, Darkness hurriedly stepped forward to help untie the rope on her mouth.

"Aqua-senpai invited me to take a vacation in the Lower World to play. I agreed, and yesterday I drank a cup of wine she handed me, then lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was tied up in here, until you opened the box and I saw the light of day again. Wah wah wah..."

The Goddess of Luck looked utterly aggrieved as she recounted her experience.

"No, Aqua, you kidnapped the Goddess of Luck. What are you trying to do?"

Megumin looked at the Water Goddess beside her with some confusion and asked directly.

"Heh, you still can't see it? Of course it's to give her to Broly as the big surprise gift I prepared for him!"

Aqua said with hands on hips, unjustified yet confident.

"So, Aqua-sama, the Super Sleeping Drug you asked me for was actually to prepare for knocking out Eris-sama?"

After Wiz finished speaking, she walked over to the white-haired goddess and knelt down directly, crossing her hands and beginning to repent.

"I'm sorry, Eris-sama. I had no idea Aqua-sama was planning to do this kind of thing, or I wouldn't have given her the sleeping drug from the shop. Please forgive my sin~"

"But why do this?"

Yunyun was somewhat confused.

"Wait, Broly said he's looking for a new wife. Could it be..."

"That's right, it's exactly your 'could it be.' The Goddess of Luck Eris, my junior here, is actually also one of the wives recognized by the Crystal Palace. It's just that last time she didn't agree to become Broly's wife."

"Ah, just for this kind of reason, Aqua, you kidnapped Eris-sama. You're simply too excessive!"

Darkness, who counts as an Eris Cult Guardian Knight, flared up with righteous indignation, reaching out to untie the rope bindings on her worshipped goddess.

"Darkness~"

The white-haired goddess's favorability toward this believer girl of hers skyrocketed. Originally Darkness was just a Goddess's Blessed (able to become friends with a god), but now she's practically turning into a Goddess's Freeloader.

"Hah, if I didn't do this, would Eris be willing to come over and obediently be Broly's wife? If she's unwilling to be Broly's wife, how long can Broly stay stranded in this world?

Think about it. We only need to sacrifice one goddess's happiness to let this kid Broly stay stranded in this world a bit longer. Don't you want that?"

Aqua's voice was like a demon's whisper. She never disappoints in the aspect of having no integrity, and in the aspect of making those around her also have no integrity, it's the same.

"No, Darkness, your hands untying the rope, why did they stop?"

Eris felt something was off, turned her head, and asked in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, Eris-sama. Anyway, Broly definitely won't harm you."

Darkness gave up on rescuing her revered god. And this feeling of betraying her faith let her heart suffer torment (the pleasure of depravity). Happiness Points began pouring in rapidly, even more exaggerated than what Main, Akame, and the others produced when hit by the Finger of Bliss.

"How can this be~"

Eris was about to cry.

Being a wife, that means being done this and that, right.

She looked at the boy.

The next moment, the ropes on her body were untied by Broly.

"Eh, you're not going to do something to me?"

Eris was somewhat surprised.

"Uh, do you want me to do something to you?"

Broly looked at her strangely.
