Chapter 482: The Willful and Selfish Little Miss Elinalise
Roxy also hadn't expected that the other capture target acknowledged by the Crystal Palace — the daughter of the Boreas Family — would actually be such a tiny little girl.
She had been a bit worried earlier that the other party might attract Broly away, but now it seemed that worry was completely unnecessary.
Although the other party was very cute, she herself wasn't bad either, at least in terms of cuteness.
Of course, now didn't seem like the time to be talking about this; she had been hired as the other party's Magic Teacher, but Broly, the true capturer, seemed like he was going to be washed out.
"Mr. Alphonse, I'm together with him."
Roxy hurriedly said to the middle-aged butler.
"Lord Sauros……"
Alphonse looked a bit troubled, glancing at the tiger-backed, bear-waisted man holding his granddaughter beside him, just waiting for his instruction.
"Since that's the case," Sauros looked at Broly, "then you demonstrate your magic as well. If my cute granddaughter Elinalise also likes it, then having one more Magic Teacher is nothing big; my Boreas Family can afford the money."
Broly nodded, and simply used the Water Elemental Summoning Magic he had learned in this Six-Faced World.
"Eh, silent spellcasting?"
Broly silently cast and summoned a Water Elemental, causing the people of the Boreas Family to feel somewhat surprised.
"Is that all?"
Little Elinalise had thought there would be some big scene.
As a result, it was just a boy who didn't look much older than herself, summoning out a ball of water.
Then, the water ball could move, and that was it.
"Uh, it can do a lot of things."
"For example?"
"For example, it can clean up the house's hygiene very cleanly."
Little Elinalise tilted her head: "Things like cleaning up hygiene, having a Maid do it is the same, right?"
"It can also help carry things."
"If it's manservants, our family doesn't lack them either."
"It can also help fight."
"Ghislaine, can it beat you?"
The red-haired little girl turned her head to look at the side, and the wheat-skinned Beast Race woman asked.
"My intuition tells me, I should be able to beat this ball of water."
Ghislaine answered.
Just her expression had some guard, because she couldn't quite see through Broly.
From sensing his breath, this was just an ordinary Mage boy.
However, when Ghislaine looked at him, she faintly had a hair-standing-on-end feeling.
But upon careful perception, she felt this might just be her illusion.
"Can't beat Ghislaine, then it's a useless magic. I don't want to learn not-powerful magic."
Little Elinalise said so, revealing a somewhat disdainful expression toward the Water Elemental.
"Gurgle~"
A few bubbles emerged from inside the Water Elemental's body; it somewhat innocently turned its head to look toward Broly's side. This Familiar condensed from Magic Power in this World also carried a bit of wisdom, although not high, but it could very easily detect changes in others' emotions.
"The thing at your waist, it shouldn't be a belt, right?"
Just as Broly wanted to prove that his Water Elemental Summoning Magic was still a very powerful magic, he heard Sauros's questioning voice.
"Uh, this is my tail."
Following the man's gaze, Broly looked at the tail wrapped around his waist and explained.
"Can you make it shake?"
"Of course."
Although he didn't know why the other party requested this, Broly still controlled the tip of his tail and shook it in front of the several people.
"Hired, this kid, I want to hire him together."
Sauros said loudly.
"Uh, but I haven't proven my magic is powerful……"
Broly's words weren't finished, before being directly interrupted.
"Magic isn't important anymore. As long as you're a furry Beast Race, then in my Boreas Family, there will forever be a mouthful of rice to eat."
"Eh?"
"Liking fluffy animals is the Boreas Family's traditional hobby, and most Beast Race, as long as they look decent, the Lord is willing to show kindness and take them in."
Alphonse, as if seeing the surprise of the Demon girl and Beast Race boy beside him, opened his mouth to explain for his own Lord.
"But I'm not a Beast Race."
"Then what are you?"
"Saiyan."
"Never heard of it, is it an even rarer Beast Race subspecies?!"
Broly just wanted to explain, when Sauros's big hand waved: "Forget it, no matter what race you are, just based on this fluffy tail of yours that can shake, you can stay by my cute granddaughter Elinalise's side."
The new capture target's grandfather's acknowledgment made Broly obediently shut his mouth.
"Father, Elinalise isn't even five years old yet; cultivating her fluffy fetish now, isn't that a bit not good?"
The handsome man beside him interjected, and then his head took a fist from the middle-aged man.
"Stupid son, it's precisely because her age is small that it's easier to cultivate our Family's generation-after-generation fetish. If we don't cultivate it now, what if Little Elinalise grows up later and doesn't like fluffy things, but likes even stranger stuff instead? Wouldn't that be terrible?"
Just like that, the actual Lord of the Fittoa Region, Sauros Boreas, made up his mind, and the other people of the Boreas Family also had no way to oppose.
Broly and Roxy were recruited into the Boreas Family under such circumstances, only Roxy relied on her recognized magical talent.
As for Broly, before even showing his talent, he first enjoyed a special XP benefit unique to the Boreas Family, getting hired just by relying on his tail.
"I've always heard that the nobles of the Asura Kingdom have unique tastes, but today I finally witnessed it firsthand; I just didn't expect that something like a taste could actually be passed down through a family."
In the evening, Roxy played with Broly's tail, and could somewhat understand why others liked fluffy things.
"Anyway, as long as the result is good, I can openly associate with that little Ellis now, although it's in the capacity of a playmate."
"The playmate hired at a price equal to my employment fee as a Water Saint-Class Magician—the Boreas Family really is wealthy."
Early the next day, upon arriving at the Boreas Family home, Roxy's teaching and Broly's life as a playmate thus began.
However, such a life did not progress smoothly; on the first day, the Boreas Family's Thousand Gold, Miss Ellis, expressed dissatisfaction with the instruction of the magic race girl: "Why are you, this guy, also here to teach me the Water Ball Technique?"
"Because the Water Ball Technique is the foundation of water magic; only by learning it and letting your body grow accustomed to the circulation of magic power can you more easily master higher-level water magic."
Perhaps because she had once been Broly's Senior Sister while pretending to be a Magic Novice Junior Brother in this cycle, Roxy was very patient in guiding the red-haired girl to practice the most basic water magic.
"When chanting, pay attention to your magic power output; it cannot be too fast or too slow, and at the same time, imagine how the waterball forms before your eyes……"
Roxy explained the casting technique of the Water Ball Technique in simple terms, but unfortunately, Ellis was not a patient child.
"Ah, I have to pay attention to this, and pay attention to that; it's so annoying, I'm not learning anymore!"
After many failed attempts to cast the Water Ball Technique, Ellis, feeling knowledge invading her little head, decisively chose to run away.
"Ah, Miss Ellis, where are you going?"
Roxy tried to grab her, but almost had her hand bitten by the little brat turning her head and opening her mouth.
"Where I go is none of your business!"
Ellis's attitude was terrible, even though yesterday she had wanted to learn the Water Saint-Class Magic Thunderstorm Cloud.
"Hey, you, stop right there."
Broly blocked in front of Ellis; the red-haired girl stopped her steps, but upon looking at the boy who was only a few years older than her, she soon raised her little chin.
"You, a beast race servant taken in by your grandfather, dare to speak to me like this; don't you know I am your master?"
Hearing this, Broly had a face full of question marks; he looked at Roxy catching up and asked: "Did I sign a slave contract yesterday?"
"No, that was just an ordinary employment contract."
Roxy shook her head, being quite certain of this point.
"Hey, I'm just hired as your playmate, not your family's servant!"
After confirming, Broly said to the little brat in front of him.
"I don't care who you are; blocking me is your mistake; hurry up and move aside, otherwise……"
"Otherwise, what will you do?"
Ellis pouted; the boy's words were hardly different from a provocation.
This made her decisively lift her little skirt and kick over with a raised foot.
But this kick did not achieve its effect.
Broly simply grabbed her ankle with his hand and easily stopped her kick.
"Let go of me!"
After failing to pull her leg back, Ellis's face turned red from holding her breath as she shouted.
"Pa~"
Broly actually let go; thus, the little brat plopped down onto the ground.
"Wuu~"
It hurt so much that her eye sockets turned red directly.
"Ah, Broly, why did you let go?"
Roxy hurriedly squatted down to check the girl's condition.
"It was she who told me to let go."
Broly looked somewhat innocently at the magic race girl.
Roxy couldn't help but sigh, then began asking about the girl's condition.
"How is it, Miss Ellis, are you injured? Let me heal you."
The magic race girl said, reaching out her hand.
"Pa~"
But the hand she reached out was directly swatted away by the red-haired girl.
"I don't need you to take care of me."
Ellis wiped her tears, climbed up from the ground, and clenched her little fist.
"I'll fight you to the end!"
Shouting these words, she charged at Broly, using lawless fists to try to attack the boy.
In response, Broly simply grabbed Ellis's wrist, twisted it behind the girl's back, and easily pressed her down onto the ground in the courtyard, such that no matter how she struggled, she couldn't get up.
"Wuu wuu wuu, I'm going to tell my grandfather that you bullied me and hit me!"
The subdued Ellis shouted that she wanted her grandfather to make decisions for her.
"But weren't you the one who made the first move?"
Broly asked somewhat helplessly; as for the current situation, let alone increasing the Happiness Value, even the Happiness Value on the other person from yesterday had now all dropped to zero, a glaring zero hanging on the other person's Panel.
"I don't care; it's just the two of you outsiders ganging up to bully me; I'll have my grandfather teach you a lesson; you just wait."
"Pa~"
Broly couldn't stand listening anymore and slapped the little brat's butt with a swing of his hand.
"Wah, y-you dare hit me?"
Little Eris widened her eyes, as if she couldn't believe her own butt had been slapped.
"Why wouldn't I dare hit you? Who do you think you are?"
Even if she's a capture target acknowledged by the Crystal Palace, when it's time to act, Broly wouldn't hesitate either.
"Just teaching this idiot magic practice, she can't learn it and wants to flee, you slightly stop her, and she wants to bite your hand. Are you a dog?
And when you fell and hurt your butt, Roxy kindly wanted to heal you, but who taught you to hit her hand?"
In terms of closeness of relationship, Roxy is undoubtedly hundreds of times stronger than this newly met willful little brat. While Broly asked these questions, he raised and lowered his palm, spanking the noble little girl's butt with loud smacks.
Roxy's head was getting a bit big. Although she knew the boy was protecting her, is he really here to capture this little girl he's pressing down and spanking?
And even if they don't plan to capture anymore, the two of them took money from someone else's home to teach this girl Eris.
But now, not even half a day has passed since teaching began, and they've beaten the teaching target. Roxy already doesn't know how to wrap things up.
"Broly, stop hitting, she's still a child."
Taking advantage of Roxy restraining the boy, little Eris successfully escaped the Saiyan boy's clutches, crying as she ran toward the castle's direction.
"Are you really here to capture her?"
Roxy asked the boy somewhat helplessly.
"Not everyone is worth me capturing. Even if she's a capture target acknowledged by the Crystal Palace, it's no good."
Roxy sighed, but also knew Broly is the type: you treat me well, I'll treat you well.
But if others treat him badly, he won't show a good face either.
"Anyway, later, let's properly apologize."
The Boreas Family soon stirred up a commotion, only because the Lord Sauros's most beloved granddaughter, Miss Eris, was hit by someone, and she came crying to complain.
"Speak, you two, what exactly happened?"
"The matter is like this."
Facing the Boreas Family's three-hall trial, the demon girl stepped forward to explain the situation.
"Sorry."
But before Roxy could prepare to say sorry, Philip Boreas spoke first to apologize.
"My daughter was somewhat spoiled by her grandfather. This matter isn't your fault, but Eris's disrespect toward you, Miss Roxy, this magic teacher."
"Eh?"
Roxy looked at the man opposite with some surprise, seemingly not expecting there to be such a reasonable figure among nobles.
"Philip, are you blaming me?"
The man in the main seat spoke.
"Father, Eris is almost five years old. She should be at the age to learn etiquette. She can't hit teachers every time she encounters something she doesn't want to learn. This would lose our Boreas Family's face."
The youth hurriedly walked over, knelt on one knee, and said.
"Is the family's face more important than your daughter being hit? Is this how I taught you to be a good father?"
Sauros knocked his own son down with one punch. Philip wiped the blood from his mouth corner, then stood straight as if nothing happened, answering: "I only know that excessive spoiling will only make Eris never grow."
Sauros fell silent. How could he not know this matter? But Eris is his granddaughter. As a grandfather, if he doesn't spoil her, who else can he spoil? Go spoil the two grandsons already taken to the Greyrat Main Family as hostages?
He wanted to, but couldn't do it.
"Roxy, did you hit my granddaughter?"
Sauros looked at the demon girl and roared out.
"The only one who hit was me."
Broly pulled the demon girl, who was somewhat scared by the loud voice, behind him, and stepped forward to face off with this Fittoa Region Lord.
"Yesterday I misjudged. You're the one with the most temper."
Sauros seriously gazed at Broly for a while, discovering the boy didn't avoid his gaze, and gave an evaluation.
"Eris!"
Then, he loudly roared out.
"Grandpa, you're going to help me teach this bad guy a lesson, right?"
Little Eris had been peeking from outside the door. Now hearing her grandpa's shout, she immediately ran in happily asking.
"Grandpa can help you teach these two a lesson, fire them, but you'll remember today's beating."
"Eh?"
"But Grandpa can also help you keep these two, not fire them, giving you a chance to hit back yourself later."
Sauros said this, paused, then loudly said to the girl: "Eris, these two choices you choose yourself. Is it Grandpa helping you take revenge now, or you taking revenge yourself later?"
Little Eris fell into tension, but she finally made a choice: "I want to take revenge myself later. Ghislaine, you'll help me, right?"
"I won't directly help Miss Eris take revenge, but I'll help train Miss Eris's swordsmanship."
Ghislaine answered. She believed this was also the result Sauros wanted.
"That's enough. You guy with a tail on your butt, listen well. Today's grudge for hitting my butt, I'll definitely pay back. When the time comes, I'll make your butt swell up!"
"The matter is like this. Please, you two, continue to help my daughter grow from now on."
Broly and Roxy faced each other, seemingly somewhat unexpected that the matter would actually have this kind of handling result.
