Chapter 470

"Roxy, don't go to sleep yet!"

"Ah, I'm not sleeping. What do you intend to do?"

The demon girl was wearing a white dress tonight; she took a small step backward.

The calves exposed beneath the dress were fair with a hint of pink.

The flames burning in the fireplace brought warmth to the house; outside the window, snowflakes were drifting.

"My gift has already been made; I'm preparing to go fetch it and give it to you."

Broly had been keeping track of the Crystal Love crafting progress recently, and he spoke directly to the twin-braided girl whose eyelids were slightly lowered, whose small face was faintly flushed, and who seemed to carry a touch of nervousness.

"You wait here. I'm going out for a trip; I'll be back very soon."

Roxy raised her hand, wanting to say something, but Broly had already run out — *bang* — he even closed the door behind him.

"What's with that~"

Sitting with her knees hugged on the soft snow bear skin sofa, Roxy looked at the gaps between her own translucent pink toes as they spread and closed, and muttered that one sentence.

During the three days of being cared for, her feelings for the boy had risen sharply; plus the matter of bathing together and the boy scrubbing her back and massaging her.

Even if Broly couldn't hold back and assaulted her tonight, Roxy felt she would half-push half-yield and just go along with it.

As a result, the gap between expectation and what actually happened made her — who had been nervous all on her own — feel like a clown in a circus.

The demon girl was a bit depressed, but watching the firelight in the fireplace she also began to imagine: imagining whether the boy would take further action toward her after returning and giving her the gift, and how exactly she should respond to that further move.

*Bang~*

The door was suddenly shoved open hard; Roxy, immersed in imagination, was startled.

"I'm back."

Broly carried a leather suitcase, walking in happily.

"That fast?"

The demon girl was a little surprised; there didn't seem to be any shops nearby.

"Something delayed me; otherwise I could've returned even faster."

As a finished magic-power-attached accessory set, Crystal Love was still quite attractive; the news that Wood Workshop had been commissioned to craft Crystal Love had been leaked.

A noble heard the client was a child and wanted to seize it by trickery; coincidentally Broly ran into the other party when he went over just now, and that matter caused a delay.

"What are you preparing to give me?"

The demon girl looked curiously at the leather suitcase in the boy's hand.

"If it's too precious, I'll refuse."

One look at that suitcase and you could tell it was a pricey magic-power-attached item; it would cost at least four or five silver coins.

"Rest assured, it's nothing too precious, and when I went to pick up this item just now, someone even paid the bill for me.

If you really calculate it, the amount of money I spent on this gift is just the deposit of ten Ranoa gold coins."

Broly patted his small chest as he spoke, then put the leather suitcase in his hand on the table, directly unfastened the clasp, lifted the lid, and the Crystal Love set fixed and embedded in the soft padding grooves inside the suitcase was presented before the demon girl.

"So beautiful, this is the gift you plan to give me?"

Roxy's eyes widened; even though she never wore gold or silver or jewelry, at this moment she still couldn't help but have her gaze drawn to the beautiful accessories in the box.

"Yes, this is the gift I prepared for you — the Crystal Love Series Set. They are accessories crafted by hiring a magic tool workshop using ore I dug up in the Mine Pit Clan Mountain Mine. Roxy, you can try wearing them."

The demon girl took out a bracelet as told; the bracelet was mainly pink but also carried shifts of other colors — clearly, besides the ore Broly originally provided, Wood Magic Tool Workshop had added other materials.

And the exquisite patterns finely carved on it were amplification array patterns that could increase the power of the wearer's released magic.

The magic tool craftsman's skill was superb; he carved the complex magic circle into the bracelet by micro-engraving, even though its surface area was not large.

"Eh, this isn't an ordinary accessory, but a magic-power-attached item?"

The moment Roxy put on the bracelet, she sensed something abnormal and asked directly.

"Right, the bracelet part is a magic-power-attached item that can amplify magic power."

Broly glanced at the instruction manual and nodded in reply.

Roxy curiously leaned over and saw the instruction manual in the boy's hand listed the effects of each accessory:

The bracelet is a tool that amplifies magic power; roughly it can turn a beginner Fireball into an intermediate Great Fireball.

The necklace embeds a defensive barrier magic; as long as it stores full magic power, it can block an all-out attack from a King-level powerhouse.

The anklet bears a wind-type status magic blessing; on flat ground it grants light body, and when jumping from heights it provides a cushioning effect — similar to Feather Fall, only more composite.

The earrings are equipment that raises magic power conversion efficiency; simply put, they increase mana recovery speed, boost meditation efficiency, and reduce the amount of magic power consumed to cast a spell.

The hair chains can store the wearer's extra magic power; they are an external tool that raises total magic power. The same mage: others can only cast a dozen or twenty spells, but a mage wearing the hair chains can cast over a hundred — the gap is obvious.

The ring is even more special; it raises magic power conversion speed. The same spell: you cast it faster than others. In battle, that might be the distance between life and death.

The Crystal Love Series Set — any single piece taken alone might only be Emperor-level or King-level magic tool equipment, but if all are worn.

Although it still can't compare to Orsted's Crazy Dragon Blade, nor to the King Dragon Sword gathering dust in Broly's Crystal Palace, the set's synergy effect can reach God-level.

For a mage, it's equivalent to carrying an all-around amplification magic circle into combat.

Roxy looked at the dense descriptions on the instruction manual, then at the remaining Crystal Love accessory set in the leather suitcase, and suddenly felt the bracelet already on her wrist growing hot.

This is what ten Ranoa gold coins can buy?

The new staff she had painstakingly crafted — it seems it could only reach the soles of the earrings?

Although Roxy didn't know the exact amplification effects of the Crystal Love set, she was clear that the things in the leather suitcase before her definitely exceeded her imagination.

"Broly, your gift is too precious."

The bracelet was taken off by Roxy; she carefully put it back, afraid of bumping or knocking it.

But as magic tool accessories, the Crystal Love set can withstand ordinary smashing and dropping.

"In my eyes, these things aren't as precious as you."

Crystal Love can't be eaten as food, but Roxy can.

"Even if you sold me, you couldn't repay it."

Roxy said with a red face, the Happiness Value on her rising slightly by 5 points.

"It can be repaid, as long as the one you sell to is me."

Broly gazed at her with burning eyes, and the demon girl panicked somewhat, avoiding the boy's gaze.

But there was nowhere to avoid; in the end, Roxy could only shrink her neck and ask resignedly: "Do you still want to do something?"

Broly looked somewhat strangely at the demon girl whose face was like a cooked apple, thought for a moment, and then realized with a start: "Yes, I still want to do something."

"Then what do you want to do?"

Roxy pursed her lips and asked with slight nervousness.

"What do you want to eat for a late-night snack?"

Broly countered with a question, rising and walking toward the Kitchen.

Roxy: "..."

Is she going to eat a late-night snack?

"Can you make Fried Pork Cutlet?"

But can she answer that she won't eat a late-night snack?

"Of course I can."

Broly nodded, and the sizzling sound of frying soon rang out, the aroma drifting over from the Kitchen.

Tonight, Broly turned off the lights a bit late at Sharia's Home, because he had eaten a bit too full.

Roxy ultimately only took the Bracelet; as for the other Crystal of Love Accessories, she didn't want them.

"Broly, if after you grow up, you still haven't changed your mind, then no matter what you give me, I'll accept it all.

But if you change your mind, I'll return this Bracelet to you.

As for this period until you grow up, this thing will serve as a Deposit, temporarily kept by me!"

Roxy said this; Broly didn't understand the meaning of her words, and when he wanted to ask something, the demon girl gave no chance, directly running back to her Room and slamming the door shut.

Behind the door, Roxy leaned against the door and plopped down on her butt, her small hands cupping her somewhat burning face, seemingly unable to believe what she had said to the boy.

But the words have been spoken; what else can be done?

Roxy could only touch the Bracelet on her wrist and giggle foolishly.

After reacting, she instantly bounced into the Quilt.

Afraid of being discovered by non-existent others, her current somewhat foolishly happy appearance.

"Roxy's words should be a promise, right? As long as I grow up and still want to Capture her, she'll Agree."

Broly lay on the Bed in his Own Room, speculating on the meaning of the words the demon girl left before closing the door, ultimately only getting this result.

"That guy Ren, didn't expect he still speaks some truth."

The Panel of Roxy at the Crystal Palace, still continuing to rise in Happiness Value, made Broly's impression of Ren improve slightly.

At least, regarding the Description aspect of Crystal Love, Ren didn't Deceive him; as long as it's taken out, it is indeed a powerful tool for Capturing a Mage.

Of course, with Roxy's Nature, if Goodwill isn't high enough, someone giving something too Expensive would probably be Directly Refused.

Next Day, the demon girl returned to the School Dormitory; the white Catgirl looked at the girl with a faint smile on her face and couldn't help but ask: "Is this you and Little Brother Broly doing it?"

"Doing what?"

Roxy was first Stunned; after reacting, she then blushed somewhat and Denied: "Didn't do it."

Although she had this idea and didn't plan to Refuse the boy, but this also can't be said, right?

"Then why do you look like you've been Moist/Comfortable?"

Rene hasn't lost her First Time yet, but she has seen other Beast Race girls after their In Heat period, the appearance of crossing from girl to woman.

And the demon girl's current behavior is pretty much that situation, a look like she's Soaked in a honey jar, Mood Very Good.

"Broly gave me a Very Good Gift."

Under the white Catgirl's persistent Pursue Ask, Roxy could only raise her hand to reveal the Crystal Love Bracelet on her wrist inside her cuff.

"Just this?"

Rene Somewhat Disbelief, because in her Impression, Roxy wasn't this kind of worldly girl.

"I told him, if he grows up and hasn't changed his mind, then I'll Accept him."

Roxy said in a Small Voice.

"Tsk, I see, so this is my family's Little Roxy responding to Little Broly."

Hearing this, Rene Realization, and then started teasing.

"This doesn't count as a response, right? If Broly changes his mind, I have to return the Bracelet."

Roxy defended.

"Haha, if he dares change his mind, I'll Beat him; you two are locked in, this I say!"

Rene waved her hand broadly, preparing to go out the Balcony.

"Eh, where are you going?"

Roxy hurriedly grabbed the Catgirl's Tail and asked.

"I'm going to find Little Brother Broly!"

Rene said Naturally.

"I won't let you Bully him."

The demon girl said loudly.

"Tsk, already protective, Rest Assured, I'm not going to Beat him, just he has a Gift for you but no Gift for me, how can that be, I'm going to demand a Gift from him."

The white catgirl spoke and pulled back her tail that Roxy was holding in her hand, then jumped down from the balcony and bounced away running.

This person came up to Broly in a carefree manner to ask for a gift, and Broly did not refuse either; from the miscellaneous items Orsted left for him to sell off, he took out a magic-power-imbued accessory that increases physical strength, a choker specially crafted for the Beast Race, and handed it over.

The white catgirl who received the precious gift rubbed against Broly very happily, and indicated that if Broly wants to get a feel in the future, he can come touch her.

Of course, her chastity cannot be given, unless he can win against other competitors in the Spouse Competition, and then come beat her as well.

Hmm, a very Beast-Race-style remark; and from the fact that Rene has not yet lost her first time, her suitors most likely have not beaten their opponents even once.

Strength stuck around Saint Rank; among the Beast Race students inside Ranoa Magic University, she is indeed the most outstanding batch.

Of course, Broly can easily press the other party onto the ground; it's just that this catgirl boss Rene is not a Capture target acknowledged by the Crystal Palace.

"Uh, thanks for the kind intention, but not needed, Boss Rene, I just need Roxy."

"Eh, Broly, are you a Milis Religion Believer?"

"No, why?"

"Only Milis Religion Believers have the concept of being faithful and devoted to their partner."

"If I could still meet a girl like Roxy, I would also conduct Capture on her."

Broly spoke the truth.

"Ma, this doesn't matter, as long as Roxy can be the biggest one."

Rene waved her hand; the Beast Race's view on marriage is polygamy or polyandry after all.

"Uh, this I guarantee, Roxy is the biggest in This World."
