Chapter 619: Nappa Star Sets Sail, Revisiting the Type-Moon World
In the Dragon Ball World, Year 746 of the Ai Calendar, Broly was exactly 15 years old. Bringing the final remaining 50,000+ Happiness Points profit from the Food Spirit World after deducting expenses, he returned to Nappa Star.
The Spacetime Energy Slot still had 10 bars of energy left. The reason he didn't continue to pay to extend his stay in the Food Spirit World was because, calculating the time, the planet spaceship modification work on Nappa Star's side should be finished.
The Crystal Palace's positioning is quite subtle; it's roughly only within a small star system. If Nappa Star leaves its original position but hasn't traveled out of this distance, he can return to the position inside Nappa Star where he left from. But if it travels out of this distance, or if Nappa Star is directly blown up, he would directly become a cosmic drifter.
To avoid the possible situation of becoming a cosmic drifter, Broly could only return early. And when he came back, Nappa Star had not yet set sail.
"Broly, my son, welcome back."
Paragus, seeing his son again, was very happy, because this meant that Nappa Star, which had already completed its modifications half a month ago, could finally leave this godforsaken remote star system.
"Welcome home, Broly King!"
The Demon Race Soldiers quickly lined up neatly behind Paragus, then all shouted in unison at the Saiyan boy, each looking at this Nappa Star young master with somewhat expectant eyes, only because they still remembered that last time when Broly left and returned, he brought them a sumptuous big meal.
And Broly did indeed not disappoint this group of demon subordinates' expectations, directly dumping all the food supplies purchased from the Food Spirit World inside the Crystal Palace: "Tonight, let's all hold a grand banquet together!"
"Broly, Broly..."
The Demon Race Soldiers looked at the delicacies covering the ground. Although night had not yet fallen, they were all wearing isolating astronaut suits, but it seemed as if they could already smell the wonderful taste of the food on the ground through sight alone, each crying out their own King's name.
As for the former King Slug, who's that? Sorry, not familiar at all. They are now Broly King's loyal subordinates.
"Broly King, the planet modification plan has been completed. We can set sail and depart at any time."
Short, hunchbacked, looking like a goblin, Kaga greeted him at the spaceship modification entrance, reporting to Broly the situation of the planet spaceship modification plan's successful completion.
"Then let's depart."
"Right now?"
"Right now."
Since he could take Nappa Star with him, and his own father had a face full of anticipation, Broly said directly.
"Planetary internal ecology simulation system fully activated. Planet spaceship engine energy filling. Engine energy filling complete..."
With the operating staff's verbal reports, the black pillars built up on Nappa Star emitted light one by one. An energy barrier isolating external starlight radiated from the tops of the black pillars, merged, and finally enveloped the entire Nappa Star.
"Wuu—"
The Bay Beasts could feel the sunlight no more. One by one, they poked their fluffy green carpet-like bodies out of the pits. But soon, bright spots appeared on the black curtain covering the sky. That was a simulated sun image.
"This simulated sun possesses the same daylight function as a star."
Kaga introduced the situation of the planetary internal ecology simulation system.
"And the energy comes from Nappa Star's underground energy, as well as various cosmic ray energies absorbed by the exterior of the black membrane."
Seeing light again, feeling the simulated daylight, the Bay Beast herd's agitation caused by the sun in the sky suddenly disappearing just now directly quieted down. One by one, the Bay Beasts crawled back into their own dug-out pits, turning into patches of green carpet once more.
"Hum—"
A sense of vibration came from the ground, but it did not make this group of Bay Beasts with red fruit trees on their heads stand upright again.
"Broly King, some vibration is normal. Nappa Star is currently breaking away from this small asteroid star system's original orbit, and the initial start is when the movement is greatest and also most energy-consuming."
In the wild, a group of Vampa Spiders building new branch nests stopped their nest-building behavior, but soon continued acting again.
It's Nappa Star, after all. In the past, during troubled times, having a dozen earthquakes a day was normal business.
The monsters able to survive on this planet have long since seen it all and aren't surprised. Being smashed by a swarm of small meteorites counts as a regular disaster seen every few years.
In the universe, after accelerating for about half an hour, Nappa Star finally broke away from its original interstellar orbit and advanced toward space without excessive meteorite swarms.
"Due to insufficient materials, although the planet spaceship modification succeeded and it can be started, to accelerate Nappa Star to a normal spaceship's interstellar cruising speed still requires 300 cosmic hours."
"And due to the same reason, we cannot completely脱离 the star system's energy supply to voyage into the universe's desert regions (i. e., dark domains where no stars exist and there is no light at all)..."
Kaga reported these things to Broly one by one.
"In other words, Broly, we should go find a high-tech planet to complete Nappa Star's upgrade modification. Only after raising Nappa Star's cruising speed and endurance can we better go search for Earth or New Namek."
Paragus supplemented from the side.
"I have no objections."
Everything on Nappa Star's side is managed by his own father, so regarding the interstellar voyage destination set by Paragus, Broly had no objections.
However, he did ask Kaga about Nappa Star's interstellar cruising speed: "How long until we leave this star system?"
"If the journey is smooth and we don't encounter large-scale meteorite swarms, it will take approximately 1100 cosmic hours..."
Kaga answered honestly. Broly then continued to pursue the specific time conversion of cosmic hours, and then obtained a result equivalent to the quantified time displayed on his own Crystal Palace panel. But this was also to be expected; cosmic time is calculated according to Earth's standard rotation time.
"45 days' time?"
Broly nodded. He only stayed on Nappa Star for two days, chatted with his own father, narrated this otherworld wife-finding journey, and after sparring a few rounds with the other party as well as Medamaga and the others (former Slug Corps executives), he chose to go visit his otherworld wives.
The first stop was the Type-Moon World. And when he arrived in this world, an unnatural vortex rolled up in the sky of Fuyuki City.
"Broly, the Two Great Counter Forces are asking me to say hello to you on their behalf, and asking what you're here for this time. And they indicate that the Holy Grail War Illya participated in should have gone as desired."
The girls who learned in advance that Broly was coming had started a training camp at the Emiya Old Residence in Fuyuki City during this winter break. Ryougi Shiki, whose hair had grown long, propped her chin with her hand and said this to the boy who suddenly appeared beside her.
"Tell the Counter Forces to rest assured. I have no intention of destroying this world. I just came to take a look at you all."
Broly sat down, put in his mouth the whole mandarin orange that Asagami Fujino handed over, already peeled, and spoke somewhat muffledly.
Just with the guarantee of these words, the vortex appearing in Fuyuki City's sky stopped, dispersing as if relieved.
Tap-tap-tap footsteps came from outside. The sliding door was yanked open violently.
"Broly Onii-chan!"
The next moment, little Sakura, wearing a light gray autumn outfit, lunged from behind.
She hugged the Saiyan boy, but it was a collision with a ball.
"Little Sakura, you've grown up again."
Little Sakura was already tall and graceful, her figure alluring and seductive.
"But you, you really haven't grown at all~"
Long legs clad in black pantyhose stood at the side. Rin Tohsaka held a shopping bag in her hand, took out a set of children's autumn clothes from the shopping bag, and handed it to Broly.
"New clothes bought for you."
"Thank you."
Broly took it and looked at the person standing at the front door.
"Mrs. Irisviel, it's been a long time."
"Yes, it's been a long time. It's been ten years since now, hasn't it?"
Irisviel, with white hair, red eyes, and extremely snow-white skin, had a somewhat complex gaze; she hadn't expected that entrusting her daughter to this child back then would bring about her own rebirth ten years later.
Although it was specifically Illya who won the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, if this boy hadn't been standing behind her, their own daughter probably wouldn't have been able to fish her out so smoothly after she had already been sacrificed to the Holy Grail.
"Illya, you go inside too."
The magic doll girl Illya, who likewise hadn't grown much—or rather, could no longer grow—was pushed by her mother into the room.
"My current Qi Fist has already been trained to be very powerful."
That's what Illya said, then she leaned in and sat next to Broly, landing a small fist on the boy's chest—the kind without force.
"You're Hercules, right? Thank you for your help in the Holy Grail War Illya participated in this time."
A tall figure stood silently in the courtyard, watching the girl and boy's flirtatious banter inside the room, and after being thanked by Broly, he shook his head: "This time, even without my help, Illya was destined to win; this was decided before the Holy Grail War even began."
Some twist of fate let him be summoned by Illya; he originally thought there would be a hearty battle with other Heroic Spirits, but the result was a tough-as-nails iron-blooded man mistakenly wandering into a kindergarten and beating up little kids with completely asymmetrical strength.
The only somewhat threatening Medea was even flipped to their own camp by the opposing Master's miraculous operation; the remaining one was Jason, a guy who only runs his mouth—if they could lose even that, there would simply be no justice.
And upon learning of an existence like Broly, the Archer-class Hercules directly realized just who was C-ing the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.
Although the person himself didn't come, he still influenced the outcome of the Holy Grail Ritual—main feature: Nasuverse has no Saiyans, but has the legend of Saiyans.
"Brother-in-law, hello."
Shirou Emiya and his own dad Kiritsugu Emiya returned home after buying groceries, saw Broly, and respectfully called out to the boy like that.
Although, strictly speaking, his age should be older than both Broly and Illya, but there's no helping it—who told him to not understand when he was little and get PUA'd by Illya into being a little brother.
Even the cooking at home right now is all his responsibility; recently, sometimes a single meal requires cooking for fifteen mouths, including Hercules who can eat a super amount—who can understand this little kitchen man's pain?
It's only because his two dads come to help that he manages; otherwise, a single meal all by himself would truly be impossible to handle.
"Heroic Spirit Dad, are the potatoes peeled?"
"Peeled."
The Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu Emiya with a dead-mom face handed over a basin-full of potatoes soaking in water.
"Carrots are cut too."
The Human Kiritsugu Emiya with a beaming smile of happiness brought over a basin-full of cut carrot chunks.
"Then it's my turn, Reinforcement!"
Magic Power surged on the youth's body; he directly used basic Reinforcement Magecraft to reinforce his physical body, lifted the kind of huge pot used in a large cafeteria, placed it on the stove recently built in the courtyard, stir-fried spices over high heat—today's first staple dish: Potato Carrot Beef Stew Rice.
"Ah~"
And just as Shirou Emiya finished the preliminary stir-fry work for the Potato Carrot Beef Stew, poured everything into the large high-pressure cooker on the side and set it to stew on another stove with fire going, he started stir-frying the second dish...
Shirou Emiya's recent life is like being in battle; every time he cooks it's like stepping onto a battlefield—after all, if he's slow he won't make the mealtime, every time it gets his blood boiling.
Just as the father and son cutting vegetables and stir-frying in the courtyard were busy in full swing, Broly inside the house dealing with eight wives and a mother-in-law who had only recently revived, also had a kind of busy-in-full-swing feeling.
"Sorry, I'm late."
The sliding door was pulled open again, and this time entering was Aozaki Touko, accompanied by Medea whom she had invited over to research a combination of modern and ancient magecraft together.
After the Holy Grail War ended, this Caster remained in the present world through incarnation; worth mentioning is that Hercules, who was originally to return to the Throne of Heroes, also chose to stay in the modern world due to her invitation.
【New capture target discovered: Medea, current Happiness Value 42.】
"Hm?"
Broly looked with some surprise at the woman wearing a purple sweater, and after she entered, she sat behind Sakura.
"Broly, this is Miss Medea; she also helped quite a bit in this Holy Grail War."
"No such thing, Master. If I hadn't met you, if you hadn't been willing to form a contract with me, I might have just disappeared in some unknown corner."
Medea replied to Sakura's words, and in her gaze at the girl there was a hidden look transcending the Master-Servant relationship.
Considering the Happiness Value she possessed, Broly subconsciously asked: "Miss Medea, do you like my Sakura?"
As the words fell, the scene instantly fell silent; everyone looked over, and Medea also froze a bit. She opened her mouth, didn't speak, stayed silent for a while, then answered: "Yes, I like Sakura. If not for this child, I would have silently dissipated, unable to take revenge on that man full of lies who gave me a tragic life. From being saved, to completing revenge, I swore she is my eternal Master."
"Ah, Miss Medea, you don't need to be like this. After learning the story that happened to you, helping you was voluntary on my part. Besides, anyway we all had to win the Holy Grail War."
Sakura felt her words were a bit excessive—eternal Master and all; she just helped the other party a small favor, no need for a lifetime of gratitude.
"Then, are you willing to join my Crystal Palace and become my wife?"
Broly suddenly asked.
"Eh?"
Irisviel's eyes widened—this son-in-law has always been this straightforward in inviting people to be wives, allowing him to possess such a harem regiment?
"Broly, Miss Medea, is she also a capture target acknowledged by the Crystal Palace?"
The people present aren't stupid; they quickly thought of the reason, and Kokutou Azaka asked directly.
"Mm."
Broly nodded, then explained a sentence to the witch lady.
"You don't need to worry, it's just a wife in name only; actually, you're just Sakura's guard, protector."
Broly felt Medea should be the same kind of person as Ghislaine; joining the Crystal Palace, she can sit at a table with Ghislaine.
