Chapter 510: Crystal Palace Extra Member 3, Actually 1

"Rudy, it's not a question of whether Miss Nanase is good-looking or whether she's my type, but rather she herself isn't recognized by the Crystal Palace as a capture target."

Broly explained.

Is Nanahoshi Shizuka good-looking? Logically speaking, if it's out of ten points, her looks are at least seven points or above.

But looks are something that mean nothing to Broly here; the proportion of the capture target identity actually carries more weight.

Even if it's a Slime, as long as it's a capture target recognized by the Crystal Palace, bringing a not-low Happiness Value and actively joining the Crystal Palace, Broly would welcome it with both hands and both feet.

But without that identity, it depends on his private relationship with the person, and although Broly has known this girl Nanahoshi Shizuka for a cumulative ten loops, at least over ten years, obviously, their private relationship isn't high; it can be said that this loop is the best it's been.

"Ah, Broly-san, besides the gender requirement, is there also a character requirement for joining the Crystal Palace?"

Broly hadn't said this in this loop, so this loop's Rudeus also didn't know about this, only knowing that the Crystal Palace wants females, not males.

"Of course."

Broly nodded.

Hearing this, Nanahoshi Shizuka suddenly felt a sense of relief, meaning it wasn't that her charm as a woman was lacking, but that she was rejected because she wasn't recognized by that Crystal Palace.

"So, besides Teacher Roxy and Cousin Ellis, your Crystal Palace can't protect others in retaining loop memories, right?"

Rudeus asked again.

"Uh, that's wrong. Actually, besides recognized capture targets being able to join the Crystal Palace, I can also autonomously define some female figures within the Crystal Palace, thereby allowing capture targets not recognized by the Crystal Palace to join the Crystal Palace."

"Ah, then Broly-san you..." Rudeus was first confused, but quickly reacted, asking directly: "Is it that this kind of joining method requires paying some price?"

"Yes, it consumes Happiness Points, ten thousand points."

Broly nodded in reply.

"And my purpose for coming to this world to find wives is to earn Happiness Points; you can't expect me to sell at a loss and let someone who isn't a capture target join my Crystal Palace, right?"

Broly briefly explained the use of Happiness Points, then asked Rudeus like that.

"Uh, a losing business indeed can't be done."

Rudeus gave up, and Nanahoshi Shizuka also sighed.

"Broly..."

Just then, Ellis spoke from the side.

"What's wrong?"

Broly looked over.

"Is what you just said true?"

"What?"

"That is, the one about spending Happiness Points to let others join the Crystal Palace?"

"Yes, but limited to females."

Broly nodded.

"Then, can I let Ghislaine join?"

"Huh?!"

Everyone looked at Ellis, but for her to say such a thing, neither Roxy nor Sylphy nor Broly felt it was strange.

In the loop when they first met Ellis, Ghislaine was her worshipped Swordsmanship Teacher, and in some other loops it was the same; this Dog-girl Sword King accompanied the girl many times, spending many childhoods.

Perhaps Ghislaine herself doesn't have this memory, but for Ellis, this is someone she cherishes greatly.

Previously Broly hadn't said the Crystal Palace could let others join, so Ellis had defaulted that only she, Roxy, and Sylphy could join the Crystal Palace, and thus said nothing.

But this loop, because Nanahoshi Shizuka as an unrecognized capture target wanted to join the Crystal Palace, Broly mentioned the Crystal Palace's custom-add wife function, which made Ellis come up with the idea of letting Ghislaine also join the Crystal Palace and retain loop memories.

"The Happiness Points consumed for letting Ghislaine join the Crystal Palace can be deducted from my side."

Of course, Ellis also knew Broly's purpose for earning Happiness Points was to build the Crystal Palace Space, so she didn't mean to make things difficult for Broly, but instead proposed she was willing to self-fund the cost of Ghislaine joining the Crystal Palace.

"Broly, is it okay?"

She asked again, with crossed hands, her gaze looking over seriously; this counts as Ellis's firm way of requesting.

"Of course it's okay, I have no problem on my side. However, for something like this, Ellis, you should actually ask Ghislaine herself, to see if she's willing."

Unlike rejecting Nanahoshi Shizuka's request, this was Ellis speaking up; even if Ellis hadn't said she'd self-fund, Broly would actually consider her thoughts.

"Ghislaine, do you want to join the Crystal Palace and become Broly's wife?"

Ellis looked expectantly at the Dog-girl Sword King and asked directly.

"Uh..."

As for Ghislaine, ever since Rudeus entered the house and put the roasted cakes on the table, she had been attracted by the roasted cakes made by Zenith; now, when Ellis asked her, she was still stuffing roasted cakes into her mouth.

"Gulp..."

The Dog-girl Sword King swallowed the roasted cake in her mouth, then expressed her attitude.

"I don't really care about becoming anyone's wife; I'm just not a virgin."

Ghislaine is a straightforward Beastman; she's always spoken her mind.

"Most men seem to still care about this quite a bit; doesn't your husband care about this?"

Everyone looked at Broly again.

"I don't care, because Ghislaine, you're someone Ellis cherishes, just a friend-type wife."

Broly naturally knew what a virgin was; it's a woman's purity and first time, generally meant to be given to the person most important to oneself.

And whether Broly cares about this or not actually depends on the person; if it were Roxy and the others, Broly would definitely care.

But Ghislaine is just a friend with a relatively good relationship, and they only had intersections because of Ellis; she's not an important person, so Broly doesn't care.

"Alright, then I'll join."

Ghislaine didn't drag it out at all.

"What do I need to do?"

She asked directly.

"Wait a moment, let me first spend Happiness Points in the Crystal Palace to make your figure, then ask if you're willing to become my wife, you just have to agree directly."

Most of the Crystal Palace's functions were disabled, but the function to customize and add extra wives was not disabled, and Broly handled it quickly.

And Ghislaine was also straightforward; when Broly asked her, she agreed directly.

"Is that all it takes?"

"Being able to see the Crystal Palace Panel means it's done."

"Mhm, I can see it."

Ghislaine curiously poked the Crystal Palace Panel with her hand, discovered it was intangible, and then continued eating her roasted cakes.

As if joining the Crystal Palace was not worth mentioning.

Rather, Elinalise appeared very happy, the corner of her mouth hooking up, and she came to Broly's side, hugging the boy and pressing him against her chest which had already begun to develop, at least a C cup.

The resilient hemisphere squeezed his face, and Broly could smell a floral scent; this was the latest model handmade soap Nanahoshi Shizuka made at home.

"Ah, Broly-san, Aisha wants it too."

"What does Aisha want?"

"Aisha also wants to join the Crystal Palace, become your wife, Brother."

The small girl listened to the whole process on the side, and only now ran over to request.

"Aisha!"

On the side, hearing these words, Lilia's complexion changed, and she immediately scolded her daughter.

"Come back quickly, you are merely a maid, don't do this kind of overstepping thing, making Young Master Broly feel troubled."

In Lilia's view, a maid must have a maid's rules; Broly taking in their mother and daughter was already an enormous favor, her daughter serving as a maid and attending his bed was no issue, but wanting to climb into bed and turn over to become the mistress, that should not happen.

"Wuu..."

Aisha seemed frightened; it was still the first time she had seen her mother flare up this much, and just as she was about to cry, Roxy stepped forward.

"Lilia-san, please don't be too harsh on this child Aisha."

"Apologies, Madam, it was Aisha who said some words that overstepped a servant's rules."

Lilia bowed deeply, apologizing.

"We have never treated Aisha as a servant."

Sylphy spoke at this time.

"Right, Aisha is the younger sister we watched grow up."

Elinalise also nodded.

"Broly, since Aisha also wants to join the Crystal Palace, then the Happiness Points required for her to join, I will pay."

Roxy stroked Little Aisha's head, and said to Broly.

"Okay."

Broly nodded.

"However, actually there's no need for you to pay, I believe Little Aisha, after becoming a wife, definitely won't let me lose out."

Roxy was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and asked: "You mean, after becoming a wife, she will still continuously produce Happiness Points?"

"Mhm, Little Aisha is happy every day; when she reaches this point in the next loop, she will definitely produce over ten thousand Happiness Points."

Broly was very confident about this; after all, Little Aisha was also someone he watched grow up, how could he not know whether this girl is happy or not?

"Wait, Broly-san, you mean, after becoming your wife, you can earn Happiness Points?"

Rudeus detected the key in the words, and asked directly.

Broly didn't hide it either, and told him about Happiness Value and Happiness Points.

"In other words, if I can also produce over ten thousand Happiness Points, you'd also be willing to let me join your Crystal Palace, right?"

Nanahoshi Shizuka listened from the side, but asked.

"Mhm, if that's the case, then I can agree to your joining, but Happiness Points are linked to Happiness State; if you cannot feel happiness in life, then even if you join my Crystal Palace it's useless, because there still won't be any Happiness Points produced."

This time Broly didn't refuse; the Crystal Palace has no member limit after all, and on the condition of not losing Happiness Points, being able to help an acquaintance, he was still willing to help a bit.

"Can you let me try?"

Nanahoshi Shizuka made a dogeza begging pose.

Ghislaine could join the Crystal Palace because of Elinalise's strong support.

Aisha could join the Crystal Palace because of Roxy's doting on the small girl born in the house.

As for her, an outsider, a Different World girl who owed this family many favors, what did she have?

The only thing she had was this thick face.

"Please forgive me for saying such shameless words, but I hope Broly-san, Roxy-sensei, Elinalise-san, and Sylphy-san can give me a chance to try..."

This already counted as getting something for nothing, an interest-free loan of Happiness Points, and the kind where the principal might not even be recovered.

"I want to bet on my next-loop self being able to feel happiness, produce enough Happiness Points to preserve my loop memories; if I can't do it, you can subject me to any penalty..."

Nanahoshi Shizuka, who spoke these words, actually knew she was being somewhat cunning, because she clearly knew Broly's family was relatively kind; even if she failed, she probably wouldn't suffer severe penalties, perhaps not even any penalty at all.

"Alright then, let you try, but only one loop."

Nanahoshi Shizuka was an acquaintance, and had come to the point of kneeling and begging; Broly and Roxy, the three wives, made eye contact, and chose to give her a chance to try.

"Thank you, thank you."

Nanahoshi Shizuka thanked continuously, getting what she wished for, obtaining the ticket to preserve loop memories.

"Ghislaine-san, is it convenient for you to reveal who you gave your first time to?"

Nanahoshi Shizuka's matter came to a close; Rudeus, after routinely voicing his request to get acquainted, came to the side of the Dog-girl Sword King who was still eating rice, and gossipingly inquired about her past stories.

"There's nothing inconvenient about that, just are you sure you want to hear it?"

Rudeus suddenly had a bad premonition, and his premonition was quickly confirmed under Elize's curiosity about Ghislaine's romantic history.

The one who took Ghislaine's first time, and the one who took Lilia's first time, were the same person, and that was Rudeus's father, Paul Greyrat.

Moreover, it was still obtained through the somewhat dishonorable means of a night raid. Elize listened with rage burning to the heavens. She originally thought it was some romantic love story, but the result was just a scumbag piece of trash with a rotten crotch, desecrating the Ghislaine she liked.

Immediately, the explosive-tempered Elize grabbed Rudeus and beat him up.

"No, why beat me for something my father did?"

"Who told you to be his son?"

Elize wasn't angry about Lilia's matter, but when it came to Ghislaine, she got angry.

"That's not right. Ghislaine's strength is obviously much stronger than my father's. How could she possibly be successfully forced by my father?"

"This... it's because I don't have much antipathy toward that guy Paul. Since he wanted to do it with me, I just let him do it."

Ghislaine's answer was very beastman, and also very casual.

"Moreover, things like this aren't that uncommon. Adventurers are guys who wander on the edge of danger. Some male adventurers relieve the pressure brought by adventure by seeking courtesans, and some female adventurers also relieve pressure by seeking strong males."

"Ah, so this actually counts as a normal thing?"

Elize widened her eyes and asked.

"For normal adventurers, it should count as normal."

Ghislaine nodded.

"Did I take this beating for nothing then?"

Rudeus felt somewhat like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Hmph~"

Elize ignored him. Although Ghislaine wasn't completely forced, it still made her feel exceptionally displeased.

"If you want to retaliate, you can go tell your mother about your father's past romantic history."

Ghislaine gave a bad-idea suggestion.

"I think my mother should have vaguely detected it already."

Rudeus said, rubbing his swollen cheek.

"But she definitely doesn't know that Elinalise and I once did things together with your father Paul."

Rudeus: "..."

He only felt his own father Paul Greyrat's death omen star shining.

Nanahoshi Shizuka at the side had already listened until she was somewhat dumbfounded.

The openness of male-female relations in the other world somewhat exceeded her imagination.

"Broly, since I've already become your wife, do you need me to bathe with you and sleep with you at night?"

After eating dinner in the evening, Ghislaine directly asked the Saiyan boy. This Big Dog Girl Sword King somewhat had the meaning of loving her job and being conscientious.

And at the side, Nanahoshi Shizuka, who was helping Miss Lilia clean up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, had her expression stiffen upon hearing these words.

She almost forgot that Broly and Roxy's mode of getting along was basically bathing together and sleeping together.

And since she had also become the boy's wife, did she also have to be like Roxy and the others, accompanying baths and accompanying sleep?

"No need, Ghislaine. Rather than saying you're my wife, it's better to say you're Elize's wife. So, for this kind of thing, you don't need to do it."

"Is that so?"

"Mm."

"Alright, if you need me to accompany baths and accompany sleep, you can just tell me directly."

After Ghislaine finished speaking, she carried her sword and went outside to practice sword for digestion, and Elize, who also took a sword and went out, went together. In this loop, her and Ghislaine's strength was about the same, and the two often ran out together to spar swordsmanship.

"Miss Nanase doesn't need to either. Strictly speaking, Ghislaine joined the Crystal Palace for Elize, while you joined for yourself, not because of me."

Broly turned his head to look at the black-long-straight girl at the side whose expression was somewhat stiff, and said a sentence.

"Uh, sorry, thank you~"

Nanahoshi Shizuka wanted to say something, but discovered she had nothing to say, because the Crystal Palace Panel displayed very clearly whether the people who joined were happy or not. In the end, she could only apologize and give thanks.

For this, Broly didn't mind much. Bringing along Little Aisha who truly liked him, he went to the living room together with Sylphy and Roxy, and started playing moving Magic Chess. (Please refer to No Game No Life)

During this, Broly opened the Crystal Palace Panel to take a look, and discovered that today's newly joined Extra Member, Little Aisha's state was happy, continuously producing Happiness Points.

And Nanahoshi Shizuka was unexpectedly in a state unable to produce Happiness Points.

On the contrary, Ghislaine was actually also in a state able to produce Happiness Points.

When the other party came back, Broly learned that tonight, the two of them, her and Elize, had sparred very enjoyably.

"Next loop, Ghislaine, you'll be able to remember this loop's memories."

Elize felt very happy because of this matter, and her happy emotions, through her passionate swordsmanship, were transmitted toward Ghislaine's side (slashing over).

For this, Ghislaine also felt happy because of the happiness of the girl Elize, whom she had watched grow up from childhood.

For this Big Dog Girl Sword King, happiness is a very simple thing.

Every day eating her fill, drinking her fill, sleeping a big sleep, watching her guarded Big Sister spend every day happily, she was satisfied.
