Chapter 478: Parting Sorrow and Recovered Memories
In Year 408 of the Dragon Calendar, the academy released the semester assessment results; Roxy and Broly's comprehensive grades were A, while Lanreta's comprehensive grade was C.
"Sixty points, really just one point away from repeating a year."
At Ranoa Magic University, grade level is not determined by how long one has been enrolled, but by whether one can pass each semester's assessment.
Passing allows promotion; those who fail either repeat a year or drop out. Lanreta had already repeated a year before this; when Roxy was attending, she was still a first-year.
"Really thrilling, but next semester, we can still be classmates."
Roxy said with a smile. Originally she had been worried about Lanreta's grades, but now she could rest assured.
"Sorry, Roxy, I'm preparing to leave the academy."
However, a few days later, Lanreta made this decision and told Roxy about it.
"Eh, why?"
Roxy asked in confusion, and Lanreta's reason was simple: she didn't want to stay in the academy's comfort zone forever; she wanted to go out and grow, instead of always being taken care of by friends and teachers around her. She wanted to become independent.
"So where are you preparing to go?"
"The Asura Kingdom. I'll take that place as my starting point and begin my new journey."
"How about it, Roxy? Will you feel lonely once I leave?"
"Somewhat."
"I thought you only cared about your cute junior brother."
Lanreta teased her, and Roxy stepped on her foot, but what Lanreta said was true. When she learned Intermediate Healing, she almost experienced again the death of someone she knew nearby, which made Roxy feel a protective desire toward the boy that even she found hard to explain.
"Roxy."
"Hmm?"
"Take care, goodbye for now."
Lanreta squatted down and opened her arms.
Roxy was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and hugged her.
But when Roxy saw Lanreta to the academy's front door, she met Jia Feng and Broly here.
"You both know Lanreta is leaving, and you came specially to see her off here?"
Roxy asked. Broly was about to answer, but Jia Feng beside him covered his mouth.
"I'm preparing to return to my hometown to take a look. Lanreta happens to be going with me."
"Yes, Jia Feng will take me along."
Lanreta nodded. However one puts it, she is her family's only daughter. When preparing to leave the academy, she definitely had to inform her family.
As for the reason for going to the Asura Kingdom, she told her father that she wanted to better inherit the family's merchant guild, so she would study business management with Jia Feng's father.
"Broly-Boast, from now on, only you will be by Roxy's side. You must take good care of her, okay."
Lanreta instructed the Saiyan boy.
"Eh, I'm the older one. Why isn't it me taking care of him?"
Beside them, Roxy immediately asked.
"Because in terms of daily life, this child Broly is far more meticulous than you. Otherwise, with your situation of reading books in the library and directly skipping lunch, I'm really afraid that one day you'll be too hungry and collapse right in the library!"
"Uuu~"
Roxy could not refute it.
"Mm, I will take good care of Roxy."
Broly nodded and agreed.
"If you don't take care of her well, I won't forgive you."
After getting on the carriage, Jia Feng poked his head out. Before the carriage set off, he shouted loudly toward Broly's side.
And before Roxy and Lanreta arrived, this young master had entrusted his feelings for Roxy to Broly.
"I'm going back to train my abilities, and one day become a man who can help my father. So I'm also dropping out."
"I don't know if I'll have a chance to see Roxy again, so I hope she can be happy. Broly, you like Roxy too, right?"
"Mm."
"Then I'll entrust my feelings for Roxy to you as well. I'll cheer for you. Please take good care of Senior Sister Roxy."
Jia Feng's feelings for the magic race girl were very pure, and Broly, as a friend who looked about the same age as him, had shown himself to be reliable in previous incidents. So this made this young master make such an entrustment, though it was a bit childish.
And with Lanreta and Jia Feng's departure, the original four-person clique that used to gather at the academy was left with only two people.
"Senior Sister Roxy, do you want to go out for dessert with me? I know a newly opened dessert shop. Their cake is very delicious."
That day, Broly invited the girl to go out for dessert, and Roxy agreed.
But while eating cake, she looked somewhat listless.
Sadness over parting—this too is common human emotion.
"Senior Sister Roxy, I have some troubles recently. I don't know if I can discuss them with you?"
Sitting opposite, Broly asked after finishing his juice.
"Eh, Broly, you have troubles too?"
This question brought Roxy back to her senses. The magic race girl looked over curiously.
"Yes."
"What kind of troubles?"
"Troubles about marriage."
"Ah?!"
Roxy's mouth opened slightly, as if she hadn't expected the boy to give such an answer.
"Junior Brother, you're so young. I'm afraid you haven't even dated anyone. How did it come to marriage?"
Roxy thought the boy was joking with her, so she spoke in a somewhat bad tone.
"Actually, I already have a wife."
"Hm?"
"And one of them is right beside me, but recently, because of her friends leaving her side, she's somewhat lost her spirit, so I wanted to consult with you, Senior Sister, on how to cheer her up."
Roxy seriously thought about it for a moment, but quickly reacted, realizing Broly was teasing her.
"Fine then, Broly, didn't expect you, this little brat, to actually have ulterior motives towards me, your Senior Sister."
"Roxy-senpai is very pretty, and taught me many things, so you won't even allow me to have thoughts about you?"
"Even if you praise me like that, I won't be moved by a child."
Broly's retort made Roxy's face redden a bit.
"Anyway, sorry for making you worry, I'll cheer up."
Roxy exhaled, thinking the boy's words just now were only said to cheer her up, but she guaranteed to the boy.
"That's good, but, Roxy-senpai, I have thoughts about you, I want you to become my wife, this is true."
"Eh?"
"What about your answer?"
"If I refuse you, you won't get angry and cut ties with me, right?"
"Of course not."
"Then I'll speak honestly, I don't have that kind of thought towards you, Junior Brother, I like males who at least look bigger than me, a bit more mature."
"But I'll grow up too, is there no chance?"
"Then wait until you're grown up to ask again."
"But I want to know now."
"Hmm..."
Roxy's face was a bit red.
"If you grow taller than me in the future, and more mature than me, then it's not impossible."
She said in a small voice.
"I don't believe it."
"Eh, this can still be disbelieved?"
"Of course, unless Roxy-senpai, you first do a rehearsal of agreeing to me."
"Uh, how do you want me to do it?"
"I'll propose to you, Senior Sister, in a bit, and you just have to agree, how about that?"
Roxy hesitated a bit, but still agreed.
However, she just felt this Elementary School Junior Brother in front of her didn't believe she had already cheered up, so he wanted to use this method to make her cheer up.
"Roxy-senpai, are you willing to become my wife?"
Only, the subsequent development caught this loop's demon girl somewhat off guard, because Broly actually took out a pink ring, and in front of the other customers at the dessert shop's outdoor seating, came to her side and knelt on one knee to ask.
"Eh, there seems to be something in my head, what is this 'Join Crystal Palace'?"
Of course, what surprised Roxy most was the Crystal Palace invitation information that surfaced in her consciousness, which made her involuntarily ask.
"This is also part of the rehearsal, hmm, it's a magical little magic of mine, in a bit as long as you agree, Senior Sister, your head will probably surface many intimate memories of being together with me, this will make you thoroughly cheer up, Roxy-senpai, will you agree?"
Broly was also somewhat nervous, he sortied early this time to verify, the Crystal Palace's recognition standard had already shown a deviation from his understanding once, he wasn't sure if the Crystal Palace would have other problems in the aspect of memory recovery.
"Agree is agree, I believe you won't harm me."
Roxy looked at the boy with a gentle gaze, thinking all this was the boy teasing her to make her happy.
"Then, Roxy-senpai, are you willing to become my wife again?"
Broly asked again.
"I am willing."
And this time, Roxy agreed, but the moment she agreed, her originally smiling small face stiffened a bit.
Her pupils trembled slightly, a sunset-red color gradually surfaced on her delicate cheeks, finally, she somewhat stiffly raised both hands, covering her face.
"Roxy-senpai, you... are you okay?"
Broly thought a problem had appeared again, stood up, leaned close and hurriedly asked.
Then, his cheeks were directly pinched by the demon girl's small hands.
"Senior Sister, huh, my dear Broly Junior Brother, how come I didn't discover before that you're actually such a sweet-talking boy?
Pretending to be a magic novice asking for academic advice, then growing bit by bit under my careful guidance, your acting is truly realistic enough!"
The moment Roxy regained her Crystal Palace Member identity, the previous loop's memories appeared in her mind in a seamless manner.
Precisely because of this, re-watching the process of herself being captured by the boy in another way, made her shame explode.
This degree of shame is in no way inferior to a loving married couple of many years, suddenly one day the husband takes out the mushy love letter the wife wrote to him back then, and reads it aloud.
"Deliberately getting severely injured to trick my tears, you really know how to act!"
Broly had already been pulled into Roxy's embrace, the demon girl's two small hands both pinched his cheeks, and kneaded them vigorously.
"You're my husband, your body not only belongs to you, but also belongs to me, how can you hurt yourself?!"
Roxy was truly somewhat angry, because she clearly knew that in this loop when Broly learned Intermediate Healing, the injuries on his body weren't fake, this made her very distressed.
"S-sorry, I guarantee I won't do this again in the future."
Broly hurriedly apologized and guaranteed.
"Cough cough, speak, how did the memory thing happen, and your strength."
Under the subtle gazes of the customers at the dessert shop's outdoor seating, Roxy ruthlessly trampled the boy's cheeks for a while before letting go, sitting upright in her chair and asking.
"After the Time Reversal, you didn't retain the Previous Loop's Memory because the Crystal Palace didn't judge this loop's you as an Official Member; you need to also agree to become my wife in This Loop before you can Recover."
Broly explained somewhat Embarrassed, After All in the Previous Loop he had Sincere-ly told Roxy there was no problem, but the result was that some complications arose.
"Well, This Matter can't be Blamed on you; it's that Crystal Palace that didn't explain clearly."
Roxy didn't Blame her own boy, merely shifting the Background onto the Crystal Palace which failed to explain clearly.
Fortunately, the Crystal Palace has no Wisdom; otherwise it would definitely have something to say.
"What about your Strength/Power? What situation is that?"
Roxy hoped to Obtain a Reasonable Explanation.
"Uh, my Strength/Power has always been That Way, while the Previous Loop was in order to have a reason to Hire you as a guard, to be able to have more time to Get Along with you, that I Pretended to need your Protection in a Weak appearance."
Broly Honest-ly replied.
"Just Like This Time, you Pretended to be a Magic Novice to Deceive me this Senior Sister, making me truly Treat you as a good Junior Brother, right."
Roxy glanced sideways at him.
"Mm."
Broly nodded.
"Broly, This Guy, you really make one Angry!"
Roxy Can't help it, grabbing the Saiyan boy into her arms again, continuing to Launch Attack on his face.
"Truly a little Liar, Unexpectedly Twice Deceived me 'Like You'."
"You don't Like me doing this?"
"Always being Deceived, I'm Somewhat Shame-d."
"But your Happiness Points are rising."
Broly Reminded.
"Well, while Shame stacks up, Happiness also stacks up; my current feeling is Just Like in a lifetime, experiencing Twice the feeling of Romance/Love with you.
Of Course, This Loop's me towards you seems Not Yet developed to the Degree of Love, but some green Foggy Like feeling instead makes me feel……"
Roxy didn't speak further; her red face had already surpassed all words.
And if there were a bed at the Side right now, Roxy feels she could lie on it, hugging the Blanket Wrapped around Breasts, twisting on it Like a Maggot.
"Roxy, want to go back to the Dormitory together with me?"
Stepping in the evening glow back to the Academy, before getting Close to the Dormitory area, Broly asked the Magic girl.
"Although I really want to go together, but Rene that guy's Nose is very keen, and as a Cat Person her Curiosity is also large; I Don't Want to be questioned by her, asking why my body has your Taste."
After Lanreta left, the girls' Dormitory Supervisor Arranged a new Roommate for Roxy, and this new Roommate is the Catgirl Rene who in the Previous Loop when Broly met Roxy was already very close friends with Roxy.
Only, now Roxy and Rene's relationship hasn't reached the Previous Loop's level of closeness; one can only say they just got Familiar, even have a bit of Conflict, in a state of Roommate Adjustment Period.
"I Guarantee I won't do bad things to you."
Broly hurriedly Guaranteed.
"I Of Course know you won't do bad things to me, but I'm Afraid I Can't help but Require you to do some bad things to me."
The bad things Broly does make people feel very Comfortable; Roxy also very much enjoys the boy doing bad things to her.
But remembers even more in the Previous Loop, the Next Day after she and Broly started having More Intimate actions, Rene suddenly Leaned over, sniffed her, then said 【Ah, Roxy, you're In Heat】.
In this redoing This Loop, Roxy Don't Want to be told One Time by the other party again, and moreover when they're Not Yet too familiar.
"Broly, see you tomorrow."
Watching the girl's back walking away with small skipping steps, Broly Clicked Tongue.
Feeling the Cake Roxy ordered Tasted Better Than the Cake he ordered.
