Chapter 637

"Broly, can I ask you a question?"

"What?"

"Why are you so good to me?"

"Am I good to you?"

"Mm."

Cila sat up, nodding very seriously.

"Anyway, ever since I can remember, no one has ever been this good to me. You not only share good food with me every day, but also don't ask anything of me."

"This is practically something only parents can do for their children. Should it be called selfless devotion, or nurturing?!"

Although Cila never went to school, she had learned quite a lot from observing while drifting through the streets, especially about social graces and the ways of the world.

Broly's kindness to her was somewhat abnormal, making her suspect whether the boy wanted to become her adoptive father, or perhaps a master of sorts.

Of course, if she could eat good food every day, calling the other party 'little dad' or 'master' wasn't out of the question either.

The current little Cila wasn't yet the future big Cila who worked for the Frieza Corps; a stable long-term meal ticket was obviously higher than her current self-respect.

"It's not selfless devotion or nurturing. I also want to obtain something from you that is relatively important to me."

Broly shook his head, denying Cila's talk of selfless devotion and nurturing.

"What thing?"

Cila looked over with some curiosity and asked, her legs on the side near Broly curling up against her body, like a subconsciously defensive posture, giving the feeling of being both timid and curious about what the boy wanted to get from her.

"Your happiness."

Broly answered seriously.

"Hah, what's that?"

Cila tilted her head and asked.

"It's the literal meaning — making you feel glad, happy, satisfied with your current life."

The girl's toes, like green grapes, curled uneasily on the ground following the boy's explanation.

"Of course, there's another reason I'm good to you."

Broly continued.

"What reason?"

Cila pricked up her ears to listen.

"You're a bit like me when I was little."

"Eh?"

Cila looked at him in surprise, her eyes seemingly asking: Aren't you small now?

"When I was little, I couldn't often eat good food either. So, for every person willing to give me good food, I was filled with gratitude."

"Before, I was the one being fed. Now, I've become the one doing the feeding. Feeding you gives me the feeling of feeding my past self."

Broly fed Cila, watching the girl's eyes gradually narrow into crescents each time because of the good food, and seeing the happy expression of satisfaction from delicious food appear on her face, he unexpectedly understood the feeling of the wives who had fed him in the past.

"So, you're only this good to me because you treat me as your past self?"

"That's not it either. At first it was because Pachi, you are a person relatively special to me, that I'm good to you."

"And the feeling of treating you as someone in a situation similar to my past self came gradually after we got to know each other and I fed you many times."

Broly corrected.

Just as Cila was about to pursue the question of where exactly she was special, a knock on the door interrupted her.

"Broly King, we are preparing to depart for other cities to solve the sewer hygiene problem!"

Ankira came to report as per routine, leading the team on an expedition to resolve sewer hygiene affairs in other cities.

"Do your best. I got a piece of news today; perhaps it won't be long before we have new work, and it's related to battle."

Hearing this, Ankira's eyes brightened. She replied "Yes" and went out.

"I've wanted to ask for a while. Ankira and the others, why do they address you as King?"

After Ankira left, Cila also successfully had her attention shifted. She curiously inquired about this matter.

Leka Star is a presidential republic, while the title 'King' is generally born of an autocratic monarchy. This form of address is relatively obscure on Leka Star.

Of course, because the Boman once had a king, Cila had heard this term and knew roughly what it represented.

She just didn't understand why Broly would be addressed this way.

"I previously joined their group. The highest leader of their group would be called XXX King."

"And if the leader is wiped out, the guy who wiped out the leader automatically becomes the new leader."

"I wiped out the previous leader, so I became the new leader."

"So, Ankira and them call me Broly King."

Broly explained concisely.

"I see. But I still don't get it. Broly, you don't seem like someone who would harm others. Why would you wipe someone out?"

Cila expressed her confusion with a doubtful look, because Broly gave her the feeling of a very gentle, somewhat dazed boy.

"That guy wanted to snatch my planet, let some of my big Kaiju friends die, and was preparing to kill my father. So, I chose to wipe him out."

Broly answered Cila's question seriously.

"I knew it. That guy you wiped out really deserved it."

Cila felt the same sense of righteous indignation. If someone wanted to snatch the money she had painstakingly saved, kill some of her thief friends, and even make her foster mother Qida die, she would definitely make a similar choice to Broly and wipe that guy out.

"Right, Broly, where is your planet?"

Cila started inquiring.

Broly is an alien. Sooner or later he will leave Leka Star.

Cila didn't quite understand what joy and sorrow, parting and reunion meant, yet she wanted to inquire about the location of the boy's home planet.

If the boy left Leka Star afterwards, once she grew up and had the capability, perhaps she could still find her way there and reunite with this friend who treated her so well.

It wouldn't have to mean a permanent life-and-death separation the moment the boy left the planet.

"Nappa Star, huh? We brought it flying over to this stellar system."

Broly opened the window and called Cila over.

"Right now it's hanging in that direction, more or less."

Cila leaned against Broly's side, looking toward the sky where night had already descended, following the direction of the boy's finger, but not a single star could be seen there.

"You're definitely deceiving me. If your planet is in the same stellar system as Leka Star, it's impossible for me to see nothing at all."

Cila's eyes widened then narrowed; after confirming she couldn't see anything, she expressed her dissatisfaction at being deceived with some indignation.

"I didn't deceive you. Nappa Star has undergone modification; its outside is wrapped in a layer of barrier black film specially designed to absorb and transform stellar light into reserve energy. It cannot be seen with the naked eye from Leka Star. Even in the universe, if you don't approach it, it's also very difficult to discover its traces."

Broly explained.

"If your planet doesn't reflect stellar light, then how do you know it's in that direction?"

Cila was somewhat doubtful.

"I locked onto it with Ki Sense. On Nappa Star are my father, my giant beast friend, and also some other Demon Race Soldiers like Ankira." Broly explained, then thought for a moment and asked, "Pachi, do you want to go see my planet?"

"Eh, is that allowed?"

"Of course it's allowed. Do you want to go?"

Broly nodded, and if he could invite the girl to visit Nappa Star, let her like Nappa Star's survival environment, and afterwards invite her to settle on Nappa Star, perhaps it would be easier.

"I want to go."

Cila nodded. Leka Star didn't lack cognition of interstellar society, but people who truly left Leka Star and rode a spaceship to other planets were few and far between.

"Then let's set off now."

"Eh, go right now?"

"Do you have other arrangements for the evening?"

"That, I don't."

Cila shook her head.

"Then we can go."

Broly took out oxygen masks and oxygen tanks from the Crystal Palace Space and handed a share to Cila.

"Come, put this on."

"What do I put this on for?"

Cila received the things, somewhat confused.

"In the universe, there is no oxygen to breathe."

Broly explained.

"I know that, but what connection does that have with us wearing oxygen masks?"

Cila didn't understand, but still obediently put it on.

"There is a connection, because I'm taking you into the universe, and for a period of time, we won't be able to obtain oxygen from the outside world."

Broly spoke, then leaned over and scooped up Cila's legs.

"Eh, what are you doing..."

Cila exclaimed; before she could say anything, Broly had already gone out the window and begun ascending into flight.

Ki constructed an energy barrier, blocking the gale that flowed relatively from the outside world. Cila turned her head to watch the rapidly shrinking city, and soon curled up like a quail in the boy's embrace.

Held in a princess carry for the first time, she clung tight to the boy's neck, somewhat nervous, worried she might fall. But upon discovering the boy was very steady, his hands not trembling in the slightest, she slowly relaxed.

The surrounding environment changed. Broly quickly brought Cila out of Leka Star's atmosphere. With the clouds no longer blocking the view, the brilliant starry sky reflected into Cila's light purple pupils.

"So beautiful!"

The girl exclaimed. Her reaction was much like anyone's first time leaving their home planet for the universe. Even more so because she wasn't riding in a spaceship; she could observe more of the outside scenery, and the starry vista brought an even more shocking visual sensation.

【Beautiful?】

Broly didn't feel much, perhaps because he'd seen this kind of starry sky from within the universe too many times.

However, upon discovering Cila's Happiness Value was rising, he wasn't in a rush to take her directly to Nappa Star.

Without gravity's pull, Cila didn't need the princess carry either. Broly let go, letting the girl experience the feeling of flying in space.

Mm, it felt like taking a child to play in a pool. And when Cila had experienced it enough, Broly held her again and took her toward Nappa Star.

The Ki-constructed barrier would have an obvious energy reaction. As he approached, the barrier black film wrapping Nappa Star timely opened a gap.

Broly flew straight in. Cila experienced the sensation of polar night turning to polar day. Nappa Star was still in daytime right now.

"Broly, how come you suddenly returned?"

Paragus flew over to welcome his son.

"I brought a friend to visit our planet. This is Pachi."

Broly introduced. Only then did Paragus notice the green thing in his hand wasn't some green paste food, but a living, breathing green-skinned girl.

"Ah, so this is the one from that world of ours, cough cough. Miss Pachi, welcome to my son Broly's planet — Nappa Star."

Paragus spoke quite politely. His son's capture target, his future daughter-in-law, one of them — the first impression still had to be a good one.

"This is my father, Paragus."

"Hello, Uncle."

Cila was a bit restrained. Suddenly she was in the universe, suddenly she had arrived at an alien planet.

What Broly said was all true, yet she still felt light-headed, as if she were in a dream.

"Dad, I'll take her around to tour Nappa Star. You don't need to follow us."

"Uh, okay."

Paragus stopped his subconscious following motion, and Broly took Cila to tour Vampa Star.

With the Ecological Maintenance Device, Vampa Star's environment now counts as having entered controllable favorable weather.

Alright, although the precipitation is a bit low, it's sufficient for use, and some plant seeds purchased from Leka Star have also been planted on the plain.

Although they've only just sprouted, there's already some greenery; once more water resources are transported over, or if a water planet can be captured directly, once water is no longer lacking at all, this planet will definitely become even more beautiful.

"This is my friend, the Bay Beast."

Broly brought the girl to the Bay Beast's territory.

Sensing Broly's breath, one green blanket giant kaiju after another poked their heads out from the deep pit.

Their huge bodies, mouths full of fangs and sharp teeth, made Cila a bit afraid.

The girl hid behind the boy.

"Don't worry, Bay Beasts are very smart; as long as I introduce your identity to them, they won't harm you."

As Broly spoke, he touched the head of one Bay Beast that had leaned over with its big head.

"This is my friend; you must not harm her."

He pulled the girl out from behind him and introduced her to the Bay Beasts like that.

The Bay Beast sniffed the girl, then stood its blanket body upright and let out wuu-wuu sounds.

In the deep pit, one Bay Beast after another stood upright and wailed together.

This is a unique communication; Broly doesn't understand the specific communication principle, but ever since he became good friends with a Bay Beast in childhood, other Bay Beasts wouldn't attack him anymore, and were willing to let him lie on their bodies to sleep.

"Do you want to touch them?"

Broly looked at Cila and asked.

The girl hesitated a bit, but still nodded.

The Bay Beast's fur, while still on the Bay Beast, presents a soft, silky tactile sensation.

Green blanket green blanket, refers to a green-colored blanket.

If it's daytime, lying on top would also give a warm feeling.

Cila quickly pounced onto the Bay Beast's body and rolled around on the green living blanket.

Broly watched from the side; he had already passed the age of liking to roll around.

"The Vampa Spider isn't a friend; they're food. Do you want to try their taste?"

After meeting the Bay Beasts, Broly took Cila to see the Vampa Spiders; upon seeing the Vampa Spiders, Cila asked if they were his friends, and received this reply.

The girl looked at the Vampa Spider's bizarre appearance with human face and flicking tongue, her expression somewhat troubled; Broly then took out the Vampa Spider legs that hadn't sold much from his space.

"Give it a try; before, Vampa Spiders tasted very difficult to eat, but ever since this planet was changed by me, their taste has become not bad.

Eating them is just like King Crab; hmm, what is King Crab, King Crab is an Isekai ocean creature, the taste counts as comparatively not bad, similar to the Superior Fish Paste on your planet."

Cila couldn't restrain herself, tasted a little, and her eyes immediately brightened.

Cila played on Vampa Star for half a day, then started yawning.

And this is only natural; when she came from Leka Star, she was in the night time zone.

She lay on the Bay Beast's body and fell asleep; Broly lay beside her.

Kaguga considerately made this place be under stable Artificial Sunlight irradiation.

It felt just like winter sunlight, making one easily become even more lazy and relaxed.

Cila slept comfortably; when she woke up, she discovered she was pillowed on the boy's arm.

"You're awake, Pachi?"

Broly woke along with her, yawned, and greeted her.

Cila widened her eyes, directly rolled away, and only sat up after distancing herself from the boy.

After recalling what she had experienced before sleep, the girl only lightly hummed in reply.

"Broly..."

After a moment of silence, Cila called the boy's name.

"What is it?"

Broly looked at her strangely, feeling her face was a bit red, but her skin color is green, so it's not too visible.

"Sorry, I actually lied to you."

"Hm?"

"My name isn't actually Pachi; my true name is Cila."

"So what?"

"Aren't you angry? You were so sincere with me, even brought me to your planet to play, but I wasn't sincere with you."

"It's just a name."

Broly waved his hand, not caring much about this.

"Not just the name; do you remember that day we first met? Mace and I actually wanted to steal your things."

"Hm, I knew."

"Eh?"

Broly looked at the girl's surprised expression and also became a bit surprised.

"You didn't think I let go of Mace's hand that day because I believed your far-fetched excuse, did you?"

"Wuu..."

Cila's face grew even redder, but she also felt a bit indignant inside.

"Since you knew all that, why did you still pretend to believe me that day?"

"Because to me, you are a special Existence; even if what you say are lies, I am still Willing to listen to them as if they were true."

Broly answered this question honestly, and that Blunt Gaze made Cila feel as if ants were Crawling all over her body.

"Don't have any Psychological burden; no matter what lies you told before, I Forgive you all now.

Alright, Miss Cila, would you like to eat breakfast together with me?"

Broly asked.

On the Crystal Palace Panel, a notification of the girl before him's Happiness Value Rise soon appeared.

"I still want to eat Vampa Spider Spider Legs, is that okay?"

"Of Course."
