Chapter 429
"Kisara-nee, what's with this outfit?"
Satomi Rentaro, returning from a business trip out of town, saw Tenkō Kisara in a housewife apron outfit making lunch in his own commandeered home, and asked with wide eyes.
"Hmm, this should be a wife's outfit, right? I'm currently training to become a good future wife."
Tenkō Kisara wore a dangerous wife hairstyle, placed the curry beef rice in her hand in front of Broly, and called out to the boy beside her: "Rentaro, you probably haven't eaten lunch yet, hurry up and sit down, eat with us."
"Broly, wasn't it agreed you absolutely wouldn't force Kisara-nee?"
The boy slapped the table; his romantically interested adoptive sister suddenly using a distant form of address with him left him somewhat broken down.
"I didn't force her."
"That was Aqua-sama..."
"Hey hey hey, you bastard, watch what you say, you need evidence."
Aqua complained dissatisfied from the other side.
"Mama, don't leave me, okay?"
And the crying, clinging little Xiao Tian beside her forced her to turn back and coax the little guy.
"Rentaro, you misunderstand, no one forced me, it's just that after I finished my revenge, I didn't know what to do afterwards, so I decided to follow my heart's desire and prepare to be a good wife."
The Sword Ghost Girl served the adoptive brother boy a portion of curry beef rice and explained.
"So, does this count as heartbreak for me?"
Satomi Rentaro sat his butt down on the chair, spirits somewhat low.
"Losing a romance that already started is heartbreak; losing a romance that never started doesn't count as heartbreak, it's just unrequited love failure."
"Chikunojō-san, can you not keep sprinkling salt on my wounds with such flat declarative sentences?"
"Sorry, I'm just objectively explaining your situation, Rentaro-san."
"Fine, you're right. Then, Kisara-nee, congratulations on avenging your grudge. So, who was the enemy?"
Satomi Rentaro accepted his unrequited love failure result, but was somewhat curious who exactly the enemy his adoptive sister had been investigating all this time was, and asked directly.
"My enemy is someone you know too."
"Who?"
"Tendo Kazumitsu."
"Kazumitsu-nii? Impossible!"
The boy stood up abruptly.
"The evidence was given by the Tendo Family Head, Tenkō Chikunojō, personally, and he was also the one who covered up the truth back then, for the purpose of maintaining the Tendo Family back then..."
Tenkō Kisara told the boy about what happened back then, then said somewhat sarcastically: "And now, he similarly chose to sell out some unnecessary people to maintain the Tendo Family, while I am the current Tendo Family's New Family Head."
The Sword Ghost Girl pulled out a letter of appointment from her pocket, as if prepared long ago, and handed it to the boy before her.
"Then what about Kazumitsu-nii? Where is he now?"
Satomi Rentaro finished reading the letter of appointment in his hand, his gaze somewhat hopeful as he looked at the girl, voice trembling as he asked.
"I've already sent him and the others to meet my parents."
Tenkō Kisara said with a smile.
"That's your real brother!"
Satomi Rentaro roared; Tendo Kazumitsu may have done many bad things, but he had always treated him very well.
"Those are his real parents too!"
Only, Tenkō Kisara roared back with an even louder voice.
"Hah, hah..."
The adoptive siblings stared at each other, breathing heavily through their noses, a confrontational stance.
"Is there really no other way?"
Satomi Rentaro backed down first, voice somewhat sorrowful as he asked.
"I knew you might say that."
Tenkō Kisara came to Broly's side, bent down and hugged the boy's neck, and asked.
"Broly, what do you think of my revenge methods?"
"As long as you're happy."
Broly stopped his eating spoon and replied directly with one sentence.
"See, that's why I chose him."
The Sword Ghost Girl kissed the boy on the cheek, and while her Happiness Value rose, she said to the boy beside her.
"Rentaro, bottom line this is just my Family Matter, has nothing to do with you, an Outsider. Tendo Kazumitsu's death is just because he deserved to die.
From now on, whether you want to call me Kisara-nee is your problem; I'll just treat you as an Acquaintance.
Of course, if you're still willing to call me Onee-chan, then I'll continue treating you as my little brother and won't distance myself from you."
Tenkō Kisara is a person with clear love and hate, and her personality carries a touch of obsession.
However, she's actually not that strong; you can tell from the emptiness she felt after finishing her revenge.
However, as long as you give her a reliance, a spiritual anchor.
This person can display a samurai swordsman-like decisive killing style.
Broly finished eating, and she took the plate to add rice.
Then came over, sat beside him, tilted her head watching the Saiyan boy eat the rice she made, a face full of happiness.
Moreover, this happiness isn't a faked surface posture, but a heartfelt feeling; this can be seen from her Happiness Value on the Crystal Palace Panel these past few days having already overtaken everyone else to become the number one highest Happiness Value Capture target in This World.
What, you ask about Xiao Tian?
Hmm, Little Octopus Girl ate and directly agreed to join the Crystal Palace's loss; although always happy, she can only produce Happiness Points.
If it really came down to ranking by the amount of Happiness Points, she would now be second to last, only slightly ahead of Sima Wei Zhi.
Few here cared about Satomi Rentaro's disappointment; everyone was comforting the crying little Scorpio.
Little Scorpio might actually be over twenty years old, but her mentality was only that of a seven or eight-year-old; upon learning that Aqua, Eris, and Broly would leave this world in two days, she showed a reaction fitting for her age, like a child going to school for the first time and leaving their parents.
"Xiao Tian, the internal space of the Crystal Palace is too small; it's not suitable for living. Staying here, you can live a better life."
"But I only want Daddy and Mommies!"
"Good girl, Mommy has already taught you how to use the group chat room; we can contact each other anytime, and you won't feel lonely."
"And you also know how to enter the Crystal Palace Space. Right now, the Mommies are just returning to their own worlds to work. By the time the next vacation comes, they can stay with Xiao Tian and play together inside the Crystal Palace."
Aqua and Eris coaxed the little one for a long time before she stopped crying.
"What about Daddy?"
"Daddy needs to earn Happiness Points so our home can become bigger and better. Once it's big and good enough in the future, Xiao Tian can live inside forever."
Aqua comforted the little one. Parting was inevitable; no matter how reluctant she was, no matter how much she wanted to take the little one along, she knew she couldn't.
Compared to the narrowness and barrenness of the Crystal Palace Space, her original world had a vast sky, surging seas, and abundant supplies...
If living long-term, such a world would definitely be better. She couldn't, out of her own selfish desire, bring the little one into the current Crystal Palace Space—that would be no different from a left-behind child locked up at home.
"Xiao Tian, if you leave, what about us?"
Sennju Kayo played along.
"Didn't we agree to watch the third part of Heavenly Punishment Maiden?"
Aihara Enju also tugged at the little octopus girl's clothes.
"Stay, okay? Once Aqua-sama has time, we can go with you to that Crystal Palace Space."
Tina also took the girl's other hand. On one side were Daddy and Mommy who had to part with her for business; on the other were her good friends in this world.
Little Scorpio quickly made her choice: "Then Aqua Mommy, Eris Mommy, after the vacation, you must come pick me up."
"Mm."
Eris sniffled and nodded.
"That's for sure."
Aqua wiped her tears and bit her lips.
"What about me?"
Broly asked; he didn't like this atmosphere of parting.
"And Broly, wuu, wuu, Daddy~"
Little Scorpio said while eating curry rice, and her snot was about to fall into the rice. Shichui saw this and quickly brought tissues to wipe Little Scorpio's snot, so no extra sauce was added to her curry rice.
"Have the blastable areas been calculated?"
After Little Scorpio was comforted, Broly called the Holy Son of Heaven to ask about the final performance arrangement before leaving this world.
"Calculated. The location is Australia. There were too many pre-disaster animals there; after the disaster, the humans in that region went extinct directly, and now it's a no-man's land."
The Holy Son of Heaven replied.
"Good. Prepare the final global livestream. I will definitely minimize your pressure."
Broly already had a script here; he was quite capable and could be considered an off-field assisting player.
"Thank you, Broly."
The Young Holy Emperor sincerely thanked him. Although she wasn't very close with Broly, the Saiyan boy's thoughtful care made her feel a happiness of being pampered.
If she had received such treatment when she was the Holy Son of Heaven before, she wouldn't have dared to imagine how relaxed she would be. Her former self, who had refused the boy due to a misunderstanding, was simply a big idiot.
The Young Holy Emperor's Happiness Value rose again. This person was also a potential stock; it was a pity he was discovered a bit late. Now, her Happiness Value still ranked behind Tina.
"Rentaro, here's your tea. Don't be sad. Believe that you will also find your own happiness in the future."
On the boy's side, he finally received some comfort. Aihara Enju poured him a cup of tea.
"Enju, thank you, but I'm fine."
Satomi Rentaro took the tea, thanked Aihara Enju, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at how quickly the people and things around him had changed since meeting Broly.
If he hadn't experienced it personally, he wouldn't dare imagine such changes could happen in forty-two days. The social status quo of the Cursed Children suffering discrimination had changed, and even Aihara Enju's thoughts were now entirely on the Saiyan boy.
Ugh, thinking about it this way, the boy's chest felt somewhat blocked.
Now, his home had been requisitioned by the Scorpion Cult.
The adopted sister he had a secret crush on had become the boy's quasi-wife.
The girl who used to cling to him now clung to the boy.
Even the Gold Master who used to favor him, Miss Sima Wei Zhi, no longer kept in contact with him; instead, she went over to agree to become the boy's wife.
Putting it in reality, if this were in some colored manga, wouldn't he be the ultimate cuckold? Even if Broly wasn't a yellow-haired guy.
Satomi Rentaro's self-regulation ability was strong. In the afternoon, he took fresh flowers to pay respects to his former adopted brother; in the evening, he took his luggage and went on a business trip again.
In his words, rather than letting things in Tokyo make his mindset uncomfortable, it was better to go to other Safe Zones more to develop branches for the Scorpion Cult.
Immersing himself in the work of establishing branches could make him forget the uncomfortable things like Tenkō Kisara killing Tendo Kazumitsu, and could better let more Cursed Children enjoy the care of the Scorpion Cult.
Two days later, Broly arrived in the skies above Australia. Looking at the map of blastable regions divided in his hand, he activated the high-definition camera of the Xianfeier version provided by Professor A. Rand.
The Saiyan boy's figure floated in the air, appearing as a full-body image to people all over the world, inside all mobile phones, televisions, or computers that could receive satellite base station signals.
"Hello everyone. I think you are not unfamiliar with me, but I will introduce myself again. I am Broly, a Saiyan, serving as the Judgment Chief of the Scorpion Cult. Now, I want to announce something to everyone: the god of the Scorpion Cult is about to leave this world..."
Broly's words shocked many high-ranking humans of the Black Bullet World who were watching this news. Many ambitious people even showed joy on their faces. The Tokyo Holy Son of Heaven who contacted them for the global livestream hadn't told them that the Scorpion Cult was preparing to announce such great news.
"However, don't worry. Although the god is leaving, the glory of the god will continue to shroud this world. And I sincerely hope that everyone can continue to support the development of the Scorpion Cult in this world in the future."
"Of course, our Scorpion Cult is also willing to tolerate other faiths or non-believers. As long as your faith does not violate the doctrines of the Scorpion Cult, and as long as non-believers do not do things that harm the Scorpion Cult, we are also willing to live together with everyone of different ideas under the same blue sky."
"But if anyone does things that violate the doctrines and harm the Scorpion Cult, then I will execute judgment on behalf of the Scorpion God."
Light lit up on Broly's fingertips. Under the filming of the Xianfeier high-definition camera, countless energy bullets sprayed out.
In the Australian tectonic plate marked in various languages, within the dense forests and grasslands, countless Gastrea sensed danger and fled, yet were turned to flying ash under the saturation bombardment of energy bullets.
The area within the high-altitude field of view was blasted into a blank white expanse in just over ten seconds; a satellite even took a special high-altitude close-up, letting people clearly see just how vast the region destroyed by the energy bullets truly was.
That was nearly one-third of the Australian plate's surface area, and even though it only scoured the surface without penetrating deep into the earth, it was enough to shock the hearts of all the viewers worldwide watching this scene.
"Also, some self-righteous stupid goods, don't think about pushing out some idiots to openly oppose us, the Scorpion Cult.
Once the Scorpion God is angered, we, the Scorpion Cult, will launch a new Holy War.
At that time, no one will reason with you, and we, the Scorpion Cult, won't need any evidence either — we'll simply kill everyone who is suspicious.
Someone might ask, what if harming the Scorpion Cult was just an accident?
For example, the Scorpion Cult establishes a branch in a certain Safe Zone, but that Safe Zone just happens to suffer a Gastrea attack and falls, resulting in massive casualties among Scorpion Cult personnel — how should that be counted?
Hmph, I'll answer on behalf of the God: that just counts as you being unlucky.
Even if it's just an accident, we'll still chalk this demerit up to the heads of the leaders of all Safe Zones except the Tokyo Holy Son of Heaven.
Your fate will be absolutely no different from those Gastrea I casually eliminated down below.
If you don't want that kind of thing to happen, then please jointly protect the interests of the Scorpion Cult.
Under the leadership of the new Pope Holy Son of Heaven, let's build a peaceful and beautiful world together.
My words are finished; thank you all for watching this special live broadcast."
The Saiyan boy bowed before the lens, and the screen went dark, but the high-altitude close-up of the Australian plate continued filming.
This live broadcast made the top-level humans of the Black Bullet World clearly realize that if the Scorpion Cult wanted to destroy the world, it might not even take a day.
The ambitions of a large number of ambitious men died; a small portion of world-destructionist madmen were put on vigilance; those who didn't want to die ultimately constituted the majority.
In the future, the Safe Zones of various nations formed a Guardian Alliance centered around the Scorpion Cult, and that had nothing more to do with Broly.
When there were two hours left on the countdown before departure, Broly began inviting the other capture targets of this world to join the Crystal Palace.
The Holy Son of Heaven agreed, Sima Wei Zhi agreed, Muroto Sumire agreed, next was Tenkō Kisara, and the Sword Ghost Girl also agreed very decisively.
Immediately after, the four cursed children who received invitations — Hiruko Kohina, Sennju Kayo, Tina Sprant, Shichui — also agreed one after another, their small faces red.
"Eh, what about me?"
Just as Broly announced that everything he needed to do in this world was already done, watching the others become Crystal Palace members and be taught how to use its various functions, Aihara Enju hurriedly grabbed the Saiyan boy and asked.
"Uh, Enju, didn't you say you wouldn't marry anyone but Rentaro?"
Hearing this, Broly looked at her a bit strangely.
The initial misunderstanding still unresolved, Broly had always thought the girl was a surface-level friend.
"I..."
Aihara Enju opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, only crystal tears welling in her eye sockets, looking a bit anxious.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing what was happening here, Aqua immediately walked over and asked.
Broly explained the matter of the girl's past refusal, and was slapped by Aqua.
"You dead kid, how can you be this stiff-headed?"
"But, Enju was gloating over my failure to capture Kayo back then."
Broly covered his slapped forehead, saying aggrievedly.
"Then what's her happiness value now?"
"129, uh, 128 now."
Broly answered honestly.
"Hmph, you stupid disciple, if little Enju wasn't happy staying with you, do you think she could have such a high happiness value?"
Aqua finished shouting this, then embraced the tearful Aihara Enju and comforted her.
"You weren't gloating back then, right?"
"I, I just felt a bit jealous seeing Broly treat Kayo so well, so I felt relieved when Broly was rejected by Kayo."
Aihara Enju threw herself into Aqua's arms, crying out her true thoughts from back then; she hadn't expected things to turn out like this.
"So, back then, you were actually already willing to become this stupid disciple's wife, right?"
"Mhm."
The girl nodded forcefully.
"Hear that? This is little Enju's true heart."
"Uh..."
"What are you 'uh'-ing for? Hurry up and invite her!"
Aqua put her hands on her hips and delivered another slap to Broly's forehead.
"Sorry, then, Enju, are you willing to join my Crystal Palace?"
"I am willing."
Aihara Enju agreed.
"Aqua-sama, you're so kind."
"Little Enju, don't cry anymore, come, I'll teach you how to use the Crystal Palace."
Aihara Enju was pulled to the side, and soon she was tapping away in the air.
Broly rubbed the spot where he'd been slapped, only feeling that girls' hearts are really hard to fathom.
Sometimes, what they say and what they do are completely different.
"Forget it~"
Broly sighed, didn't lose a wife, but instead gained another one in the end — this is a good thing.
Just...
Broly calculated his gains in this world, only to discover that after deducting Aqua Master's and Eris's cross-border fees and stay fees, he had actually obtained only over forty thousand Happiness Points.
Ten wives, over forty thousand Happiness Points?
Converted, that was just over forty Happiness Value per person.
Compared to the Happiness Values of other Crystal Palace Official Members before, it really was somewhat few.
"Goodbye, take care."
Under such poor returns, Broly, Aqua, and Eris, the three of them, left this world before the new Crystal Palace members who were seeing them off.
"Waaah, my Xiao Tian~"
As for how Aqua, after returning to the Goddess Space, actually collapsed internally and suddenly burst into tears, forcing Eris to coax her, that is a later story.
Anyway, Eris ultimately failed to coax her well, and could only send Aqua's somewhat useless appearance to the Group Chat Room.
Aqua, burdened with the identity of a mother, then pulled herself together and vehemently denied the authenticity of the photo Eris sent out in the Group Chat Room.
