Chapter 484: Speak the Truth and You're Still Unhappy

That night, a certain Viscount's household suffered an attack by the Water Ball Technique; the Viscount's daughter was smashed into a soaked chicken — the harm wasn't great, but the insult was extreme.

And throughout the whole process no one discovered the culprit's traces; little Elise didn't speak, just kept using the Water Ball Technique inside the water film Broly had deployed, an excited look on her face, until she had exhausted her magic power completely.

The next day, the Viscount who had suffered the Water Ball Technique attack brought his daughter to the Boreas household to apologize in person for yesterday's events.

And upon learning what had happened at the other household last night, it was instead Sauros Boreas who was somewhat surprised.

Because the other household also had a Saint-ranked Guard, yet someone could attack without being discovered — the playmate boy he had hired for his granddaughter, or that Magic Teacher's demon girl — perhaps one of them possessed strength above the original estimate.

"It's merely children's horseplay, Lord Aven need not take it seriously, Alphonse."

"Yes, Lord."

"Go to the treasury and take two pieces of jewelry, present them to Miss Emma as compensation for Elise's rampage yesterday."

His granddaughter had gotten the better of the deal and vented her anger; what Sauros Boreas was doing now was repairing the relationship between the two families.

Of course, if after accepting the benefits the other side still dared to spout nonsense, fabricate rumors and slander the Boreas Family's reputation, then don't blame him, the actual ruling Lord of the Fittoa Region, for properly employing his own methods.

A noble within his own territory wanting to manipulate things — is that not easy?

The Viscount who had come to the door claiming to apologize but actually seeking an explanation for last night's events also understood the implication behind Sauros's words, and immediately nodded in agreement to consider the matter settled.

After all, besides being doused in water last night, nothing more excessive had occurred; the Fittoa Lord sending a gift and casually speaking a word of apology was enough.

If he still felt it wasn't enough, who knows — next time it might be vicious robbers coming to his house, and they might just kill his whole family.

"Where's Elise? Where is she right now?"

After seeing off the Viscount and his daughter, Sauros asked the Butler.

"As for Miss Elise, she woke up rather late today; she should currently be in the study attending class."

Alphonse replied.

"That child did a splendid job this time; I must properly praise her!"

Saying this, Sauros strode with long steps toward his granddaughter's study.

When he arrived at the study, before he could push the door and enter, he heard his own granddaughter's voice ringing out from inside.

"Broly, thanks for last night, but don't think I'll forget — you spanked me so many times; at most when I spank you back later, I'll give you a one-time reduction."

"Only once? Isn't little Elise a generous child?"

"Then twice — no, three times."

Under Roxy's indirect probing, little Elise decided to forgive the boy for spanking her three times.

Wearing an expression that said she was a generous child, head raised and chest out, she looked just like a proud little lion.

【25】 "Then I must thank Miss Elise, but I don't want to be spanked by you — is there any other way to make you continue to forget the spanking grudge?"

"Then I must thank you, Miss Elise, but I Don't Want you to Spank my Butt — is there any other way to make you continue forgetting the grudge of the Spanking?"

Inside the study, Broly asked.

"Let me spank you back."

Little Elise immediately said; she really was a little idiot.

"I said, some other method."

Broly could only remind her.

"Hmph, then stretch your tail over here, let this young lady touch it."

Elise offered another way to resolve the grudge.

"Touch once, forget once?"

Broly asked.

"How could that be possible — at least we have to play properly for one time to count."

Little Elise hurriedly shook her head; she wasn't a fool.

"That works too; I'll serve as witness for you two."

Roxy agreed on Broly's behalf.

At her beckoning, Broly could only extend his tail before little Elise.

The red-haired girl looked at the tail before her and directly reached out to grab it.

Her small hands were warm; after grabbing it, she pinched and kneaded the tail this way and that.

The tip of Broly's tail swayed; Elise's eyes went wide, staring unblinkingly.

"It's completely different from Ghislaine's tail, isn't it."

"Of course it's different — I'm not Beast Race; ah, why are you pulling on it?"

When Sauros pushed the door and entered, what he saw was his own granddaughter wrapped by a tail, both feet off the ground, swaying in midair.

"Lord Sauros."

Roxy called out to him.

"Grandpa."

Little Elise also looked toward Sauros and called out excitedly.

"Elise, is the tail fun?"

"Fun."

"Looks like you've already grasped the wonder of fluffy tails."

Sauros was very satisfied; Beast Race affinity is the Boreas Family's virtue.

"But right now, Grandpa has something to say to Broly; you get down first."

Little Elise was a bit unwilling, but still obediently listened to her own Grandpa.

"Right now it only counts as forgetting half a time; when you come back you still have to use your tail to wrap me up and swing me around for a while before it counts as one time, understand?"

As Broly was being taken away by Sauros, little Elise still didn't forget to say this to the boy.

The study door was shut, and Sauros then brought the boy back to the living room.

"Was the Water Ball Technique attack on the Viscount's mansion last night your idea, or Alice's?"

He asked directly.

"It was my proposal, Alice did it, and then I provided cover."

Broly answered honestly.

"Very good, you let Alice vent, and the way she vented was very appropriate."

Sauros praised loudly, poured himself a glass of red wine, and sat down on the sofa opposite the boy.

"I'm very satisfied with your approach, I want to reward you, tell me, what do you want?"

He asked what Broly sought.

"Can I ask for anything?"

"I, Sauros, am not a stingy person, even if you ask me for a hundred Asura Gold Coins right now, I'll have the Butler fetch them without blinking an eye."

"Gold Coins are useless to me, I have plenty myself."

Broly shook his head.

"Then what do you want?"

Sauros became somewhat curious.

"Alice."

As the words fell, the atmosphere in the Living Room stagnated.

Sauros widened his eyes like copper bells staring at him, asking somewhat through gritted teeth: "Say it again, what do you want?"

"I want Alice."

Regarding this, Broly did not hesitate, restating what he wanted.

"You came for Alice from the start?"

Sauros discovered his aura was useless, narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Mm."

Broly nodded.

"Who are you, and what is your purpose?"

The First Prince's Faction suffered a mysterious heavy blow half a year ago, and as the Boreas Family of the First Prince's faction, all sorts of other people's schemes and tricks flashed through Sauros's mind at this moment.

For example, the boy before him might be someone sent by the Second Prince's faction, contacting his own Family, probably wanting to control or subdue the Boreas Family.

"I am a Saiyan, my purpose is only one, that is to want the girl named Alice Boreas Greyrat to obtain Happiness, and have her agree to become my wife."

"And then?"

Sauros waited, discovered the boy had no follow-up, and couldn't help but ask.

"What and then?"

Broly looked at the middle-aged man opposite him in confusion.

"You don't want to control the Boreas Family through my granddaughter?"

"Eh, why would I do that?"

Sauros: "..."

After a series of interrogations of the boy, this Lord finally discovered that the Saiyan boy had been aimed at his own granddaughter from the very beginning, and had no other purpose.

Of course, his own granddaughter was not yet five years old when she was sought out, the other party aimed at his beloved granddaughter, just this point alone was enough to make him feel Angry.

But, if the guy with this kind of idea is a suspected King-level Powerhouse, not old in age and a good match for Alice, and treats his own granddaughter relatively tolerantly.

Alright, although it still makes Sauros Angry enough to want to Beat the other party, it's already somewhat more acceptable.

"You really speak big words, my granddaughter is the Boreas Family's Big Sister, you an Outsider with an unclear background, also dare say you want her?"

"Wasn't it you who asked me what I want, I tell the truth and you're unhappy, otherwise, should I tell you lies now?"

Broly looked at Sauros somewhat innocently, and his blunt truth left Sauros somewhat speechless, Sauros Boreas actually felt the boy was damn right.

"If you, this brat, can truly win Alice's favor, and make her willing to marry you when she grows up, then I..."

Sauros spoke to here, paused, looked at the boy, tone still somewhat vicious, said: "Then I also have to punch you a dozen times, only then will I not oppose this marriage."

"No problem, Grandpa Sauros, you can even Beat me up right now."

Seeing the boy lean in to let him hit, Sauros's mouth corner twitched, hurriedly Waving Hand: "Forget it, you may not necessarily be able to make our Alice like you, wait until she likes you, then come talk to me about this matter."

"Oh."

Broly didn't Insist either, Sauros instructed the Butler to send him back to the Study.

"Broly, quick, Extend your tail."

After sending the boy back to the Study, Butler Alphonse saw his own Miss bounce over, very naturally pull the boy's tail at his waist, wrap it around her own waist, and demand the boy lift her up and shake her.

"Okay, this counts as reducing one time you Smash my Butt!"

After experiencing the Waterball incident of smashing the Viscount's girl together, little Alice's attitude towards Broly obviously improved.

The biggest change among them was that her mouth lost the title of long-tailed bastard, and gained calling Broly's name.

For example, "Broly, Extend your tail for me to Touch!", "Broly, come Practice Together water Magic with me.", "Broly, let me use my newly learned Swordsmanship to chop you once!" sentence patterns like these, Broly plus little Alice asking the boy to do things.

Excluding some Excessive demands, fulfilling the other not Excessive demands, little Alice's Happiness Value would Obtain growth.

Reflected in Actual behavior, it is the Red-haired Girl shouting the boy's name more times, the more smiles on the other party's own face.

Alice, when just met, was a willful little brat, but now, the girl's body seems to only have spoiled left, because force-wise she somewhat can't be willful past the boy.

"Eh, Broly, where are you planning to go with Teacher Roxy?"

This day, rest day, little Alice actively ran over to find the boy, but discovered Broly and Roxy packing things, this made her ask.

"We're preparing to go to Buena Village."

Roxy answered.

"Buena Village?"

Little Elise looked a bit confused, glancing toward Ghislaine beside her for help.

"Buena Village is a remote little village under the rule of the Boreas Family in the Fittoa Region."

Ghislaine explained, and she was more familiar with Buena Village, thanks to an acquaintance there.

"Why do you want to go to that kind of countryside place?"

Little Elise turned her puzzled gaze toward Roxy and Broly.

She didn't think a remote countryside village had anything worth going for.

Rather than going to that kind of small place, she'd rather stay and keep her company playing.

"We have an acquaintance there, and want to go see her."

Broly frequently traveled back and forth between Roa City and Buena Village, but spent more time staying in Roa City.

However, once it was a rest day, he would bring Roxy along to Buena Village to find Little Shilfy and cultivate the girl's Happiness Value.

"Is that so, hmph. I don't have anything going on today either. If you entrust it to me, it's not like I can't go to that little village with you."

Broly and Roxy made eye contact, understanding that Little Elise wanted to tag along with them to Buena Village.

"Anyway, it's something to find out sooner or later. Going together is no problem."

Broly said.

"However, would your parents and grandfather be willing to let you go with us to a remote little village?"

Roxy asked.

"Ghislaine~"

Little Elise started acting spoiled toward the beast race swordswoman who had come along, but Ghislaine firmly shook her head, indicating that leaving Roa City was fine, but she at least had to greet Lord Sauros and obtain his agreement.

"Otherwise, given the time needed for a round trip to Buena Village, by the time you couldn't get back home, they would worry whether you'd been kidnapped."

"Mmph~"

Elise couldn't refute it. She didn't want her family to worry about her, but also wanted to act together with Broly and Roxy.

"You two don't leave yet. Wait for me to go back and seek Grandfather's consent."

In the end, Little Elise dropped those words and ran off toward home to find her grandfather.

"So slow~"

Buena Village. A green-haired little brat sat on a rock at the village entrance, propping her chin up as she waited for someone, and in her arms was a Beginner Magic Book.

"The little demon is waiting for the big demon again!"

At this moment, a few village kids passing by saw her sitting alone on the stone and shouted loudly toward this side.

"So what if I am? Be careful I tell Sister Roxy to give you a lesson."

Little Shilfy wasn't afraid of them at all. With Brother and Sister backing her, she stood up full of confidence and shouted at those kids.

"Shame shame shame, Roland's daughter only knows how to tattle. Don't talk to her, or you'll be targeted by the scary demons!"

A group of kids scattered like birds and beasts. Little Shilfy could only sit back down dejectedly.
