Chapter 499: Visitor

Week 21, early Year 409 of the Jia Long Era.

"Broly-senpai, please go out with me."

A cute Rabbit Race girl came before Broly and handed him a love letter.

In this loop, Broly, as a Special Admission Student, openly possessed a powerful Summon Magic.

Whenever someone sought his guidance on Summon Magic, as long as he was free, he didn't mind giving a few pointers.

This earned him a pretty good reputation at Ranoa Magic University.

Upon discovering he was about to come of age (according to the age he registered upon enrollment in Year 407), many female students at the academy launched pursuits toward him.

"You're a good girl, but sorry, I already have someone I like."

Broly smoothly gave the Rabbit Race girl a Good Person Card, then turned and left.

Roxy's Happiness Value had already broken through a thousand; he was already arranging this loop's Crystal Love, and once the accessory was forged, he planned to propose to the demon girl again.

"Broly, are you free? A dessert shop opened in South City; want to go try it together?"

But before that, Roxy invited him to eat dessert, and with a strong sense of deja vu, he arrived at the place he had invited her to in Week 20, even sitting at the same desk.

"Broly, you're almost an adult; have you thought about dating someone?"

Stirring the milk-tea-like liquid in the cup before her with a spoon, Roxy asked just like that.

"Uh, not really."

"Then would you consider dating someone?"

The demon girl asked again.

"Consider who?"

Broly glanced at Roxy's Happiness Value, which had grown again this loop, and couldn't help asking her with a hint of amusement.

"Consider, consider me."

The demon girl spoke her heart in a joking tone; beneath the seemingly calm surface lay a very nervous mood. She was afraid the boy would give her a Good Person Card too, and waited for his reply like a judgment.

"If it's dating with the purpose of marriage, then I can consider Roxy."

Broly stated his condition.

"Eh, this..."

She had been waiting for a reply on whether they would date, but the topic jumped straight to marriage, and Roxy's eyes widened.

"What are you surprised about? Could it be Roxy only wants to date me but doesn't want to take responsibility for me afterwards, making her a bad girl?"

"Ah, no way, I'm willing to take responsibility."

Roxy hurriedly said, her voice a bit loud, drawing the attention of those around. The demon girl, reacting, reddened slightly.

"So, Roxy, will you become my wife?"

Broly smoothly asked.

"Eh, why is there a strange sound ringing in my head?"

"This is a small magic, used to test a person's true heart. You haven't answered my question yet."

She had come to launch the offensive, but unexpectedly, after a few words, the tide turned against her.

"I..."

Faced with this question, the demon girl with over a thousand Happiness Value points proved everything with her red face.

But the moment Roxy gave her willing reply, her expression turned from joy to stupor.

"Wife, what's wrong?"

Broly asked knowingly, leaning over to inquire.

"Please don't talk to me, let me be quiet."

Roxy covered her face, her body trembling slightly, and laid her head on the table.

Just because she saw some girls at the academy handing love letters to Broly, she got stimulated.

Then, back at the dormitory, she was provoked by Rene, who had already become her roommate, saying happiness must be actively snatched, that if she didn't act now the boy she liked might be snatched away by other bad girls — words like that made her head hot, so she put on her best clothes, asked Broly out, and launched an all-out offensive.

The result? Mutual Pursuit. If it were just this loop, it would absolutely be a good ending, but damn it, she had the experience of the previous two loops. After recovering her memories, Roxy wanted to curl her toes and dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the floor.

Because this loop's her was a little girl completely sunk in first love. The many genuine feelings for the boy that welled up from this loop's different life experiences made even Roxy, who had already undergone memory recovery once, somewhat unable to bear it.

"So you want me to take responsibility, huh? Using tricks in the Labyrinth to make me attracted to you, right..."

On the road back to the Magic University, Roxy's small hand never left Broly's ear.

Of course not with much force, just pinching to express her dissatisfaction with the boy's tactics for capturing her this loop.

Broly was a bit helpless; clearly those capture tactics all came from Roxy's Strategy Guide, were things Roxy herself wrote, yet now he had to take the blame.

"Sorry, my fault. I'll fix it next loop."

"Ah, Broly-senpai, you're back. I have something I want to tell you."

Upon entering the university, just as Broly was apologizing to Roxy, a Halfling girl ran over.

"Fix what fix? Don't you know girls all say the opposite of what they mean? Of course, I'm the same."

Saying this, right in front of the Halfling girl, Roxy hugged the Saiyan boy.

"Sorry, classmate. The person Broly likes is me. If you want a Boyfriend/Girlfriend, please go look elsewhere."

Saying that, Roxy carried Broly away in a princess carry, leaving only a somewhat stunned Halfling girl behind.

Just as Roxy was becoming something of a public enemy among some female students at the Magic University, she submitted a full set of Water King-level Magic Research Papers from the previous loop to the academy.

Although a bit absurd, after Ginas confirmed the authenticity of these magic papers, in less than half a month, Roxy was granted the qualification to graduate early from Ranoa Magic University, and the university was even willing to confer on her the higher status of Magic Professor.

"Are you sure you won't stay? My research group can be led by you."

The Mentor was strangely respectful to the student, but Ginas believed that if Roxy stayed at the academy to research magic, she would surely push water magic to a new height. She was a Mage more excellent than himself, yet he was willing to step aside.

"No need, Teacher Ginas. I've decided to do research outside. Of course, if there's an opportunity in the future, we'll definitely be able to cooperate."

Ginas's water magic research group this loop will need some time to digest the Water King-tier magic research paper she submitted, which they had worked out together in the previous loop. Before they catch up, cooperative research is not as good as researching alone.

In the summer of Year 409 of the Jia Long Era, Broly dropped out of the Magic University, and Roxy followed him to settle in Buena Village.

The two-and-a-half-year-old Sylphiette Yett was well taken care of by Broly; there wasn't a single brat in the village who dared to bully her.

Those who want to play Hero vs. Demon King inevitably end up being trampled by Broly, the Demon King Sylphy's number one general, acting in the Demon King's stead against these little heroes.

As for running home to tattle...

Well, because Broly beats people in moderation, and every time he also actively communicates with the adults behind those brats.

Not only do they call uncles and aunties sweetly and politely, they also send fish and meat to those households — as the saying goes, you're soft-mouthed when you eat others' food, short-handed when you take others' things.

Moreover, which countryside child hasn't been beaten growing up? Being beaten for a mistake, learning a lesson, and getting meat to eat — honestly, if it weren't for the fact that he doesn't beat them too hard, some adults would wish they could step in themselves.

So, brats who run home crying will most likely be scolded by their parents, and those who directly lay hands on them aren't nonexistent either.

Broly instead became "the other family's kid" in Buena Village. After the village adults started using the line "Look at how Broly is this and that, and look at how you are this and that" on brats, the village brats started taking detours when they encountered Broly and Sylphy.

After all, not only can they not beat Broly, their own parents stand on Broly's side — where can they go to argue reason?

Regarding Broly's methods, the two-year-old Rudeus can only say impressive. If his past self had this knack for directly winning over other people's parents, bullying would most likely have been hard to happen to him.

Of course, if he could possess Broly's strength, in his past life he would definitely have beaten that trash who bullied others into maggots writhing on the ground.

"Rudeus, what are you doing?"

Just as Rudeus was immersed in the delusion of "what if I were Broly," a sudden sound from beside him scared him.

Rudeus plopped down on the ground. After seeing clearly the boy floating in through the window, he breathed a sigh of relief: "So it's Broly-san. I was just thinking about something."

"Thinking, and wearing a pair of white underwear on your head — is there some inevitable connection?"

Little Rudeus currently had a pair of white underwear stretched over his head; who knows if it was his mother Zenith's or the maid Lilia's.

"Ah, this."

Rudeus averted his gaze and spouted nonsense with a straight face.

If it were right after birth, facing Broly who had infiltrated the room and seen through his reincarnator identity in one sentence, he definitely wouldn't have dared to spout nonsense.

But now, after getting familiar and discovering Broly held no malice toward him, Rudeus would occasionally banter about this and that.

"Right, did Big Bro come find me for something?"

Rudeus hurriedly changed the subject.

"Didn't you say you wanted to learn magic a while back? This is the magic book Roxy had me pass to you."

Getting down to business, Broly fished out a magic book from the Crystal Palace and handed it over.

"Ah, thank you so much, Broly-san, and also my future teacher whom I've never met."

Rudeus took the book, flipped it open, and sincerely thanked him. Although his family had magic books too, this one Broly gave had many annotations — learning from it would definitely be a bit simpler.

"By the way, you said smelling scent can bring people closer. Is that for real?"

Before leaving, Broly asked curiously.

"That depends on the person."

Rudeus didn't dare give a definite answer.

If Broly found out it was useless, he'd most likely get beaten.

What Rudeus didn't expect was that two days later, Broly showed up carrying a big fish for their family.

Openly he said there was too much fish and gave it to them to taste, but privately he found Rudeus and told him: "Your method really works. Thanks."

"Ah, Broly-san, you put underwear on your head too?"

Rudeus's eyes went wide. The image was too beautiful; he didn't dare imagine it, suspecting he had led Broly astray.

"Not that."

Broly shook his head.

"Then what's this about?"

"I smelled it while my wife was wearing it?"

Rudeus: "..."

After Broly left, he only then fished out the underwear he had secretly taken from under the bed.

After a long silence, he howled: "The gap between people, isn't it a bit too big?!"

Time slowly passed, arriving at the summer of Year 411 of the Jia Long Era. Besides Broly, little Eris had also appeared by Sylphy's side.

Through the Roa City Transfer Magic Circle, a year and a half ago the girl had started frequently dropping by.

"Hey, Broly, hurry up and have your water element throw me higher!"

Two five-meter-tall water elementals stood on the stream. Little Eris was grabbed by a water elemental's big hand and tossed into the sky. When she fell, the other water elemental would catch her with its big water hand. The girl gurgled bubbles inside the water elemental's body, used hands and feet to poke her head out the side for air, and shouted at the boy below.

"It's high enough already. Any higher and when you fall, even falling into the water elemental's body will hurt."

Broly gave a reminder.

"No problem. I've long known how to dissipate force."

Eris said, then used her hands and feet to stir the water flow inside the water elemental. The originally humanoid water elemental was actually driven by the rolling force inside to spin.

With the centrifugal force from the spin exceeding the internal force this water elemental could bear, *thud* — water suddenly exploded on the stream surface, and Eris fell into the river.

"How about it? I'm amazing, right?"

When the girl surfaced again, her fiery red hair wetly plastered on her somewhat excited little face. Eris was like a little dog that jumped into water to fetch a ball — after getting the ball, wanting praise from its master.

Seven years old, Three Schools Comprehensive Advanced — truly amazing.

"Eris is amazing."

Broly praised the girl first, then said.

"But my magic power isn't enough to condense another water elemental."

"What's this, I really can't do anything about you, then we can only play again tomorrow."

Little Alice puffed her cheeks, but receiving praise still made her very happy.

After swimming ashore, the little one shook her head like a canine animal.

A white small shirt, wet and clinging to her body.

"You should just change your clothes directly."

Broly handed over a towel.

"Sylphy, what were you doing just now?"

After drying her body and changing clothes, Alice ran over to ask the green-haired girl.

"Big Sister Alice, uwaa..."

Little Shilfy saw her approach, and in one go pounced to hug Alice's neck, bringing Alice down onto the grass.

"Sylphy, what's wrong with you, did someone bully you?"

Alice was a bit stunned, not understanding this little one, why she cried when she was fine just now.

"No one bullied me, it's just, being able to see Big Sister Alice again is truly wonderful."

Little Shilfy rubbed her head against Alice.

"What nonsense are you saying, don't we see each other often?"

Alice was a bit at a loss; this loop's her was not the Red Knight, but facing a little one who liked to cling to her, and her who had no same-age playmates at home, she couldn't bring herself to dislike her.

"It's not the same, by the way, Big Sister Alice, I've already agreed to become Big Brother Broly's wife, do you want to agree now too?"

"What did you say?"

"Big Sister Alice, you're unwilling, uwaa, I want everyone to be together forever."

Saying this, Little Shilfy cried again; she was indeed a crybaby.

"I was playing house with Sylphy just now, saying that only married people can be together forever in the future."

Broly helped explain.

"These are all games only children play."

This loop's little Alice was a bit contemptuous.

"Then do you want to play with me?"

"I won't play."

"Big Sister Alice..."

"Fine then, just play once, but only once."

"Alice, are you willing to become my wife, and live with us from now on?"

"Eh, what's that sound?"

Alice obviously heard the Crystal Palace prompt message in her brain, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"This is part of this game, just answer whether you're willing or not."

Alice was a bit reluctant, but still answered 'I am willing.'

Then she paused for a moment, and jumped up in place, tackling Shilfy.

"You little girl, are you coordinating with that guy Broly?"

"Sorry, Big Sister Alice, if I didn't do this, then with your tsundere personality, I estimate you'd just say one thing and mean another."

By this point, the three wives in this loop had all recovered their memories; Roxy was the one who confessed first, while Little Shilfy, after playing house and being asked by Broly whether she was willing to become a wife, agreed according to a child's pure heart.

As for Alice, she was considered to have been outplayed, but there was no way around it; although her behavior and Happiness Value both expressed that she liked being with Broly, she found it hard to say the words of liking out loud, and Broly had asked her before if she was willing to become his wife, but the result was the girl's answer of 'No way.'

Little Alice, after recovering her memories and returning to the Magic Tower side, was teased by Roxy with a smile using the words 'Little tsundere is really hard to capture.'

At night, while everyone was soaking in the bath together, Alice said somewhat angrily: "It's all because of that guy Rudeus; if he hadn't said I was tsundere in the previous loop, then I definitely wouldn't be tsundere."

She felt that her hard-to-capture personality in this loop was all Rudeus's jinx's fault, and decided to go find this loop's distant cousin tomorrow to settle the score properly.

The next day, Rudeus suffered an undeserved disaster and solidly received a beating from Alice.

"Is there any logic to this? I don't even have memories of the previous loop, why do I have to get beaten?!"

Rudeus complained; previously he thought that having improper thoughts about Broly's three wives would mean facing the great danger that is Broly.

But now it seems, even without improper thoughts, one would still face danger, and the danger itself is one of Broly's wives, this violent one said to be his family's distant cousin.

Of course, Rudeus had to admit this cousin was very pretty, but no matter how pretty, a girl who hits people is useless; on his side she was completely a PASS.

Time came to Dragon Calendar year 412; just when Broly thought this loop would end peacefully, a special guest arrived at the Magic Tower side.

"Demon race, why did you appear in the Magic Tower I built for Orsted?"
