Chapter 512

"Do you have some business?"

Ghislaine guessed the other party might be a guest or relative of the Boreas Family.

"I was entrusted by someone to come invite Miss Ghislaine to join my Crystal Palace."

Broly stated his purpose for coming.

Unlike Roxy and the others, Ghislaine was not a capture target; it would be better for her to become a wife sooner so she could produce Happiness Points sooner.

Although Eris had said she would cover the cost of Ghislaine joining the Crystal Palace, it would be an even better result if the other party could be self-sufficient.

So, after arriving at the 51st Loop, Broly came directly to this side.

"Crystal Palace?"

Ghislaine couldn't understand what this meant, but still opened her mouth to refuse the boy's invitation.

"Unfortunately, I am currently a guard of the Boreas Family, and have no intention of joining other organizations."

"The Crystal Palace isn't an organization. Let me put it this way, Miss Ghislaine: are you willing to become my wife?"

Broly wanted to explain a bit, but felt it was somewhat troublesome, so he turned and directly asked this question instead.

"That's even more impossible."

Ghislaine refused without even thinking; she still remembered she had to maintain her purity, so, never mind that these words were merely asked by a little boy, even if an adult of the opposite sex who was excellent in all aspects came to ask her, she would also give a refusal without the slightest hesitation.

"That makes things difficult. I have a reason why I must make you agree to become my wife."

"Is that so? Then I also have a reason why I cannot agree to become someone else's wife."

"How about this: let's compete in a bout of swordsmanship. If you lose, you agree to become my wife. If I lose, I'll pretend I never came. How about that?"

Broly proposed; he decided to use a comparatively simple method to make this loop's Ghislaine agree to join the Crystal Palace.

"I have no need to compete with you."

However, Ghislaine shook her head, refusing his proposal.

"Why?"

Broly was somewhat confused; based on his understanding of Ghislaine, this person should have readily agreed.

"If I lose I'm unlucky; if I win I get no benefit."

Ghislaine answered concisely and to the point.

In this loop, because of Dragon God Orsted's warning, it brought no small change to this Big Dog Girl Sword King.

At least, on the matter of possibly losing her own purity, Ghislaine acted extremely cautiously; even though she didn't feel she would lose in swordsmanship to a little boy, she still didn't agree.

This put Broly in a bit of a bind.

"Miss Eris, please don't play with mud anymore; your clothes are going to get dirty."

"I'll play, I'll play..."

Just at this time, that side's Eris was again throwing mud at the several maids chasing her; Broly looked over and instantly had an idea.

Flashing his body, he arrived beside little Eris who was picking up mud balls on the ground, directly picked up the young red-haired little wife, and then drew the sword at his waist and placed it against her neck.

"Since it's like that, let's change the condition: if you lose, you agree to join the Crystal Palace; if you win, I'll release the Big Sister you're guarding. How about that?"

Broly turned around, looking at the Big Dog Girl Sword King who had chased over but was one step slower than him, her whole body releasing killing intent at him, and said.

"Wah wah..."

The two-year-old little Eris didn't know the danger of a sword; after being held up by Broly, she continuously struggled in the boy's arms.

Just like a big fish just fished up from a lake by an angler, she bounced her body with great strength.

Regarding this, Broly could only use a force-redirection technique, dissipating her struggling strength in his hands in advance, making it look just like he was coaxing a child.

His body swayed to and fro with little Eris's struggling movements; only the sword in his other hand remained very stable, placed against little Eris's neck without the slightest deviation.

"Ah, someone has taken Miss Eris hostage!?"

The maids cried out in panic; Ghislaine fundamentally didn't dare move rashly.

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as you agreeing. To avoid others disturbing us, come with me."

Broly, holding little Eris hostage, stomped his foot and jumped up the tree at the side.

In just a few leaps, carrying Eris, he jumped out of the Boreas Family's surrounding wall.

"You all notify Lord Sauros; I'll go rescue Miss Eris."

Ghislaine threw down these words, then hurriedly followed.

Little Eris, after Broly jumped up, stopped struggling.

The ground-skimming flight-like leaps made the little guy very surprised.

Eyes wide open, watching the ground below continuously approach and recede.

"Jump higher, even higher..."

Little Eris shouted excitedly waving her little feet in Broly's arms, completely without the self-awareness of a hostage.

Of course, Broly wasn't a real hostage-taker; he also indulged little Eris's wish, jumping higher and farther.

Only Ghislaine behind exerted her full leg strength, running wildly across different residents' rooftops, trying to catch up to the front figure rising and falling.

The two people, one front one back, exited Roa City's gate, arriving on the grassland outside Roa City's suburbs; only then did Broly stop.

"No, I don't want to come down; you jump again, jump again!"

Just after stopping and putting little Eris down, the little guy pestered him relentlessly, wanting Broly to continue carrying her and jumping high.

"Wait until after I finish competing with Ghislaine, then we'll jump again, okay?"

Little Eris puffed up her face; only after Broly guaranteed he would carry her and jump very, very high did the little guy barely agree to come down.

"Hah, hah..."

The Big Dog Girl Sword King who had caught up panted looking at this scene; her heart wasn't that nervous anymore; she had already seen the boy had no malice toward the Big Sister she had to protect.

She just didn't know why the other party had to go this far, taking a family member of the Fittoa Region's biggest Noble, the Boreas Family, hostage; this was a capital crime in the Fittoa Region, not something that would be let go so easily.

Ghislaine revealed it, and Broly said, "Then there's no need to worry. Once you join the Crystal Palace, you'll naturally help me and Lord Sauros explain this matter."

Broly walked forward with his sword, using the tip to gesture at the Dog-girl Sword King.

"Your speed is indeed fast, but I won't lose."

Ghislaine drew her sword and engaged; her sword was like a violent storm, her explosive offensive speed even surprising Broly somewhat.

This loop's Ghislaine's strength was actually far greater than the her he knew in other loops.

Facts proved that useless desires would only affect this Sigma Sword King's sword-swinging speed.

In her abstinent cultivation, constantly maintaining vigilance and severing the possibility of her purity being stolen by an outsider's sneak attack, this Sword King's strength had grown from an Emperor Rank Gatekeeper into a true Emperor Rank.

Sword light flashed around her like flowing light; knee-high long grass was split in two, and the ground was occasionally slashed into gullies.

Beside them, the mud ball little Alice was holding unknowingly dropped to the ground; the little one stared wide-eyed, unblinking, at the Dog-girl Sword King, her eyes gradually lighting up at that swift attack posture like lightning.

Other loops aside on how she came to like swordsmanship, but this loop, it was absolutely this very moment that made the little one thoroughly fall in love with swordsmanship.

Broly dodged left and right; to a layman it might look like he had fallen into adversity, but the true situation was that he was merely appreciating the Sword God Style swordsmanship strength Ghislaine had improved this loop.

"Your swordsmanship strength has improved decently, but the technique of the returning sword after a void strike still needs more practice."

Broly evaluated with one sentence, then seized the timing when Ghislaine's qi stalled during the return after a void strike, and thrust his own sword out.

With just a twist against Ghislaine's long sword, the Dog-girl's long sword was flung away; no glorious sword clash, merely a simple unadorned strike, and the win/loss was decided in an instant.

Ghislaine's palm kept trembling; when the sword was flung away, her death-grip on the hilt took a layer of flesh from her palm.

But compared to the pain in her hands now, she was more shocked by the black-haired boy's strength; although Broly gave her no extreme pressure, that one casual sword technique gave her a feeling of being unable to oppose him.

And this feeling was something she had only experienced many years ago when facing the Dragon God.

"Ghislaine, you've lost. Now can you agree to join the Crystal Palace and become my wife?"

Broly put down his sword and asked.

"Just kill me. I cannot throw away my purity, so I cannot become anyone's wife."

Ghislaine didn't care about purity itself, but if this thing bound her former companions' lives and her past clan's survival, then she would rather die.

"Haha, I don't want your purity; I just want you to agree to become my wife. Hmm, what's going on? Can you tell me?"

"Eh?!"

Ghislaine was surprised by the boy's words, thought for a bit, then told him about what Orsted had once warned her.

"Haha, that is indeed Orsted's style of doing things. However, I think you don't need to worry about this matter anymore, because the one who asked him to do it was me."

Ghislaine: "..."

So these years she had to maintain three-part vigilance even while sleeping, all thanks to the person before her?!

"But I don't understand. You don't want my purity, so why did you do this?"

"That you'll naturally know after you agree to become my wife and join the Crystal Palace."

Broly couldn't be bothered to explain; once the loop memory recovered, Ghislaine would naturally know all the reasons.

Ghislaine was silent for a while, then nodded, indicating agreement.

"Are you willing to become my wife?"

Broly asked her directly.

"I am willing."

Ghislaine agreed, then silently gazed at Broly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You should tell me why you did this."

"Wait, you haven't recovered your memory?"

"What memory?"

Ghislaine frowned, indicating confusion.

"Crystal Palace!"

Broly could only ask the Crystal Palace, then learned the answer that the other party was not a capture target and could not join the Crystal Palace.

"That's not right. Didn't I already make one in the previous loop..."

Broly wanted to question it, but quickly reacted.

"Could it be..."

As expected, the Crystal Palace this loop still had to collect a custom figure fee once more to let a non-capture-target female join.

Faced with this, what else could Broly do? The Crystal Palace is a rigid thing; he could only pinch his nose and admit it, spending another ten thousand Happiness Points for Ghislaine to make her agree once more.

Fortunately, aside from needing to charge again, memory recovery had no issues.

After joining the Crystal Palace again, Ghislaine showed a look of sudden realization, followed by speechlessness.

"Broly, that Dragon God's method, isn't it a bit violent?"

"But it's effective, isn't it?"

"That point I cannot deny."

"Extend your hand; I'll heal you."

Ghislaine extended her hand toward the boy; Broly directly used Beginner Healing Magic and quickly healed the Dog-girl's hand injury.

"Next, do you plan to directly capture Big Sister Alice?"

Ghislaine asked.

"No, I'm going to capture Roxy first, but during that time I'll also come over to this side to check on her."

Broly answered.

"You're like this every time, capturing wives in a specific order?"

"Not exactly. It's just that Roxy is already an adult with more capture methods, while Alice is only two years old, and Sylphy is just an infant; they only have the 'accompany growth' capture method, and that method doesn't require staying together at all times."

"So, you'll give most of your time to Miss Roxy, and a little time to keep Big Sister Eris and Sylphy company?"

"Mm."

"Broly, you really are a master of time management!"

"This is all trained over multiple loops, thank you for your praise, Ghislaine."

Broly was very modest.

"I wasn't praising you. Hmm, if possible, I still hope you can spend more time with Big Sister Eris."

"I will. However, during the times in this loop when I'm not by her side keeping her company, I'll have to entrust you to keep her happy and cheerful."

Broly said.

"Don't need you to say it, I'll do that too."

Ghislaine nodded. Being able to take care of young Eris again was, for this Dog-girl Sword King, a matter of considerable freshness.

"Then, I should go find Roxy. The matters here are entrusted to you."

Broly waved and left, but he forgot one very important thing.

So, when he saw Little Eris again, what he saw was an angry little brat.

The little brat gnawed and bit at him, cursing in her mouth that he was a big liar, because he didn't take her to jump high.

Fortunately, Little Eris was quite easy to coax. Broly took her flying up into the sky, and she forgot about the matter.

Ghislaine watched from the side, and she had already explained the previous events to Master Sauros on Broly's behalf.

The Dog-girl Sword King had no talent for lying; she told Sauros the matter of the loop reincarnation for real.

Sauros didn't directly believe, but he didn't disbelieve either, because a Sword Emperor's words still carry great weight.

Upon learning Broly was stronger than Ghislaine, had a close relationship with the Dragon God who was Second of the Powers, and had feelings for and took good care of his little granddaughter in the loops, this loop's Fittoa Region Lord, after meeting the Saiyan boy once, tacitly permitted Broly's behavior of approaching his little granddaughter.

"Miss Roxy, have you already recovered your memories?"

Ghislaine looked at the two people flying about in the sky, then leaned over to the demon girl's side and inquired.

"Not at all."

"Then why do you look so familiar with Big Sister Eris?"

"That's because this autobiography I hold has Little Eris's appearance drawn in it, describes her temper, and the correct way to get along with her when she was young."

The demon girl raised the thick autobiography storybook in her hand and answered Ghislaine's question.

"Broly's way of capturing you seems a bit different from the others?"

"That's because I was born earlier, and he hadn't come to this world yet, so it became like this."

"How do you feel?"

"I don't know. It's just that from the start, from this book that is like a prophecy of my future fate trajectory, I obtained information on some things I might experience again.

Then, I had some expectation for the arrival of the story described above, but upon actually meeting Broly, I actually didn't have much real feeling, only knowing he was the Destined Partner I waited for……"

The demon girl answered honestly, thought for a bit, then asked the Big Dog Girl: "Miss Ghislaine, were Roxy and I really that loving in the previous loop? Loving enough that I can tolerate him pursuing other girls right in front of me?"

"Whether loving or not, I'm actually not too clear either. But what I can confirm is, you would sometimes request him to help you conduct silent spellcasting of water magic……"

51st Loop Roxy: "……"

Her small face reddened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This loop's me absolutely won't do that……"

She set a Flag, and this Flag, in the story described in the autobiography book, one by one was brought into reality by Broly taking her along, and the 51st Loop Roxy was slapped in the face in Dragon Calendar Year 412.

Before recovering loop memories, because goodwill completely exceeded the threshold, she thereby made the behavior of demanding silent water magic from the boy.

In Dragon Calendar Year 413, Broly finally invited all three of Roxy's acknowledged capture-target wives back to the Crystal Palace.

Ghislaine felt some doubt about this, asked why not invite them back earlier, and got the answer that it was to earn happiness value.

"Of course, it's not completely a happiness value problem. There's also life's freshness.

Roxy and Sylphy are fine; even if they recover memories, they'll probably live very happily.

But Eris — do you think after she recovers memories, she'd be willing to endure several years of boring childhood life?

Probably before five years old, she'd sneak out and start a grand adventure."

Regarding this, Ghislaine discovered this really was a possible thing, because the current memory-recovered, 8-year-old Big Sister Eris often runs out to the wild to solo grind alone.

Time arrived at Dragon Calendar Year 415.

Little Aisha was two years old. Broly took the little brat and played a game of pretend marriage with Sylphy and the others.

"Miss Sylphy, are you willing to marry me and become my wife?"

In the game, the other girls, facing Broly's question, all gave the reply "I do."

When it came to Little Aisha's turn, the little brat also copied the pattern and answered willing.

Then, it was the great memory recovery.

The little brat directly transformed from the innocent appearance of a tender infant into someone somewhat cunning and spirited.

For this, Broly's family specially pulled this loop's Miss Lilia into a private chat and explained the matter of loop reincarnation to her.

"Last loop's Little Aisha was already 7 years old, so Miss Lilia, seeing her change, don't be surprised. This absolutely isn't possession by something unclean."

"But, Aisha is a servant, she shouldn't……"

"Miss Lilia, Little Aisha is now my wife. I don't know what you think, but if I, as your son-in-law, have any place that makes you feel dissatisfied, you say it. As long as it's not making me marry only Little Aisha alone, I can change it all."

Facing the Saiyan boy's words, Miss Lilia was somewhat at a loss for words. The grace of the other party taking her in while she was pregnant was greater than heaven.

After a moment of silence, Lilia put on the appearance a mother should have: "Towards Young Master Broly, I have no dissatisfaction. I only have one request."

"What request?"

"If possible, please give my daughter Aisha happiness."

"Mom~"

Little Aisha thought she would hear this playthrough's mother scold her for overstepping the rules, but instead she heard this, and immediately threw herself over.

"Yes, I will definitely do it."

For this kind of request, Broly nodded seriously and agreed.

"Aisha, although you are no longer a maid, but the mistress of this home, please never forget that Lady Roxy and the others were willing to accept you as one of Young Master Broly's wives."

"As a fellow wife, you should respect them, regard them as your eternal elder sisters, respect and love them, understand?"

In the fifty-first playthrough, Miss Lilia no longer raised her own daughter as a maid, but she also taught her daughter not to appear to compete for favor in future playthroughs.

Roughly speaking, Broly is the heaven of the home, Lady Roxy and the other two ladies are the elder sisters, and as for the rest, they are sisters who should get along friendly.

Little Aisha studied seriously, although Broly, Lady Roxy, and the others often said that a family need not be so formal, but the little one persisted.

"In the future, Brother Broly might marry even more wives to join in; those Aishas from other worlds and the elder sisters they don't know, I can't manage, but at least in this world, the other wives who join the Crystal Palace, Aisha will still have to help manage them!"

Little Aisha looked like a butler, making Broly and the others exchange glances, and when the girl asked if she had done something wrong.

Broly and the others exchanged glances and could only reply with one sentence: "Little Aisha is truly capable; she will definitely be a capable assistant in the home in the future."

Although based on the fifty-first playthrough Dragon Calendar Year 416, in this world's current wife group configuration, there isn't a single one she can manage.

However, the praised Little Aisha was happy about it, full of motivation and drive every day, studying the butler knowledge her mother taught her, living a fulfilling and happy life.

Time quickly came to Dragon Calendar Year 417, Different World girl Nanahoshi Shizuka arrived as promised, Broly didn't beat around the bush, directly increased intensity and repaid kindness with enmity.

They say a life-saving grace cannot be repaid, so one can only offer oneself; he actually held a sword to Different World girl Nanahoshi Shizuka's neck—who had just transmigrated into this playthrough and had her brain illness cured by Healing Magic—forcing her to agree to become his wife.

Nanahoshi Shizuka, as a high school girl from normal society, had never seen this; facing death, she quickly surrendered, but after she agreed, on her tear-streaked, frightened face, a dazed expression appeared.

"Mr. Broly, can't you use a gentler way to make a girl agree to become your wife?"

She said quite resentfully.

"Sorry, but I think this way will be more efficient, helping you quickly join the Crystal Palace and produce Happiness Points, isn't that right?"

Nanahoshi Shizuka was speechless; she really couldn't refute this, because Broly's behavior was indeed helping her.

(Chapter End)
