Chapter 717: Marital Resemblance, the Sword Princess Girl's Date Invitation!

"Miss Aiz, how was using the Wrath skill yesterday?"

The next day, Broly asked the Sword Princess girl who came over again about this matter.

"That is a very dangerous skill, but very powerful."

Aiz honestly expressed her feelings.

"I just don't know if I can rely on training to overcome the side effect of losing reason."

She asked the Saiyan boy in front of her, seemingly hoping to get an answer from the Saiyan boy who shared the Wrath skill.

"I'm not too sure about this; I've only used the Wrath skill once myself."

"However, if this skill was condensed from the wildness in the Saiyan bloodline, then it should be possible to overcome the side effect of losing reason through training."

"Hmm, this skill is very similar to our Saiyan race transforming into Great Apes after looking at the full moon; both cause us to lose reason."

"But my father once told me that some Saiyan warriors can maintain their reason even after transforming into Great Apes through training."

Broly replied.

"Then how should I train?"

Hearing the boy's words, the Sword Princess girl's eyes lit up, like a golden dog seeing meat bones; her calm voice carried a hint of urgency as she asked.

"I don't know about that."

Broly shook his head. Seeing the Sword Princess's confused gaze directed at him, he explained in one sentence: "My father didn't teach me that."

Well, actually he didn't teach it before age three; Broly was too young then, and Paragus felt that even if he taught it, his son probably couldn't learn it; on the contrary, trying to make his son transform into a Great Ape would bring danger to himself.

After age three, it couldn't be taught either, because Broly's strength had already surpassed his; whenever Paragus dared to talk back a bit, he would get beaten.

Later on, there was no need to teach, because Broly was very obedient and didn't look at the full moon, nor did anything happen where he transformed and stepped on his father to death.

Now that he tried Great Ape transformation, regardless of good or evil, Broly no longer loses consciousness during Great Ape transformation; Aiz's question was like asking an ordinary person: how did you learn to breathe.

"Ugh..."

The Sword Princess girl's expression on her face visibly fell into dejection.

"However, don't worry, Miss Aiz; we can discuss together in the future how to maintain reason while activating the Wrath skill."

But the words Broly spoke dispelled the dejection on the girl's face.

"Hmm!"

Aiz responded with a sound, nodded heavily, and a faint, shallow smile hung on her face.

The gaze she directed at the Saiyan boy was one Lefiya had never seen before.

The elf girl could not describe the girl's gaze at this moment in precise words, but she could summarize this kind of gaze in one sentence: there was light in Miss Aiz's eyes when she looked at Mr. Broly...

This made the vinegar-loving elf girl feel a sourness rise in her heart; just as she was pouting her lips, almost able to hang them on a clothes rack, Broly looked over toward her.

"Miss Lefiya, it's been two days; have you been sleeping poorly recently?"

Broly looked at the slight dark circles on the elf girl's face and couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, this, I have been sleeping somewhat poorly..."

Coming back to her senses, the reacting Lefiya felt a bit embarrassed; she certainly couldn't say that this happened because last night, while helping suppress the reason-losing Miss Aiz, she unluckily bumped into the struggling Miss Aiz's fist, resulting in this state, could she.

As for why she didn't treat the panda eyes from being beaten, it was simply because last night there were more other Familia members who needed treatment.

The low- and medium-quality healing potions and the Healer's magic power, which were not abundant in the Familia, were prioritized for other members who needed them more.

And high-quality healing potions were too expensive; for just a little panda eye, a small injury that could be reduced by applying warm eggs, there was really no need to drink them.

Thus, it became the few dark circles seen by Broly today when she came over, and one could no longer distinguish whether it was an injury or simply not resting well.

"Going to bed early and rising early is a good habit."

Broly said a sentence.

"Lefiya went to bed early last night; the dark circles on her face were beaten out by me after I lost reason."

Aiz explained helpfully from the side.

"Ah, Miss Aiz, why did you expose yourself?"

The elf girl widened her eyes and looked over.

Seemingly confused why the girl, who was helping cover up, had to spoil the scene.

"Uh, is this something that cannot be said?"

Aiz blinked her eyes and looked over with some confusion.

"Saying that you injured a companion in front of outsiders would make people look down on Miss Aiz, or even mock Miss Aiz, right?!"

Hearing these words, Aiz denied the elf girl's statement: "Mr. Broly is absolutely not that kind of person!"

"Miss Lefiya, don't move; let me treat you."

The elf girl wanted to retort, but the Saiyan boy had already leaned close to her face and raised his hand up.

"Holy power is delicious food..."

The incantation of Beginner Healing Magic was quickly recited by Broly, and his small hand directly pressed onto the elf girl's eyes with dark circles.

"Ugh~"

The gentle light of healing magic brought the elf girl a warm feeling, and the slight soreness and swelling around her eye sockets rapidly vanished.

"How is it?"

When the Saiyan boy asked after the healing was finished, the words Lefiya had been about to retort with could not be spoken.

"Hmm, it's fine, Mr. Broly... thank you..."

The elf girl's voice grew smaller and smaller; she only felt her cheeks getting a bit hot, and felt a bit ashamed that she had actually badmouthed a good person who cared about her to his face just because of a bit of vinegar in her heart.

【Lefiya, you are judging a gentleman by the mind of a petty person; I really deserve to die...】

Broly didn't know what kind of changes were happening in the elf girl's heart; after seeing Lefiya's Happiness Value rise a bit, he nodded satisfactorily and asked: "Miss Lefiya, do you also want to go to the Dungeon with me today?"

"Ah, this, yes."

Lefiya nodded in a panic.

"Then, no time to lose, let's set off."

Broly, bringing along the two girls of the Loki Familia, headed straight for the Central Square.

Just that when passing by the Hostess of Fertility, he made a brief stop,

accepted today's bento handed over by the waitress girl, thanked her with a word, then continued forward.

"Xier, are you alright?"

Ryuu, walking out from the tavern, caught sight of her friend seeing off the Saiyan boy like a wife-waiting stone, and couldn't help but ask.

"Eh, Ryuu, what could be wrong with me?"

Xier came back to her senses, and looked over with some puzzlement.

"Ah, your expression just now, I thought you were spacing out because Broly-san had the Loki Familia's Sword Princess and Thousand Elf with him, and were troubled by that."

Ryuu said, the Saiyan boy was fine in every way, just one thing was not good, his luck with women was too good.

"Troubled, well, there is a bit of that, but I wasn't spacing out because of that just now."

Xier said with a smile.

"Then what were you spacing out for?"

Ryuu asked subconsciously.

"Me, I discovered Broly-san's secret."

"Eh?"

"Ryuu, do you want to know?"

"Uh, this has nothing to do with me, right?"

"But I want to find someone to share it with."

"Fine, I want to know."

Ryuu said somewhat helplessly, she spoiled her own friend herself.

"Ryuu, you're so nice, then, I'll tell you..."

The gray-haired girl put her arm around the elf lady, and leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"Broly-san, it seems he can make the girls he knows become even more beautiful."

"Uh, what does that mean?"

Ryuu couldn't quite understand the meaning of her friend's words.

"Ais-san, she wasn't originally an expressionless doll girl!

But when I saw her today, do you know what I saw?"

"Saw what?"

"She became even more cute, the kind of cute like a living person!"

Xier raised her left index finger, saying it with a serious air.

"Uh, Ais-san became cute today, what does that have to do with Broly-san?"

Ryuu's expression was a bit strange, not quite able to understand the causal relationship here.

"It's because, I can see it, she became cute because of Broly-san."

Xier said seriously.

This was the answer she got from seriously observing Broly's soul, and Ais's soul today.

The boy was influencing the Sword Princess girl, making her soul shine more brilliantly, just like he influenced the Pallum girl Liliruca.

"Eh, what does that count as, Xier, are you trying to say Ais-san also likes Broly-san?"

"That's hard to say, hmm, Ryuu, let me ask you a question, do you like Broly-san?"

"Eh?"

Xier's topic shifted too fast, catching the elf lady off guard; after a moment of stunned silence, she quickly gave her reply: "How is that possible, that's the person you like, Xier, how could I possibly like the person you like?"

"Is that so, but last time when you came back from training with Broly-san, I also saw you in a similar state to Ais-san today, both becoming somewhat cute."

Xier said this.

"Last time when I came back from training..."

Ryuu was stunned, and quickly recalled the incident of herself being seen naked before.

"Ah, this, at that time I was just happy that I learned a profound swordsmanship from Broly-san."

The elf lady said somewhat guiltily.

"Hmm..."

Xier examined the elf with a scrutinizing gaze, and after making Ryuu feel uncomfortable all over, narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Then perhaps, Ais-san also had some new harvest from Broly-san, and that's why she suddenly became cute."

【New harvest? Could it be Ais-san was also seen naked by Broly-san, no no no, impossible, she's the Sword Princess...】

Ryuu shook her head, shaking the strange thoughts out of her mind.

"Broly-san, Lorne-san and I will just explore in the Upper Floors."

On the other side, Bell, who had entered the Dungeon together, upon reaching the Labyrinth's Seventh Floor, actively proposed to split up and explore the Labyrinth with Lorne.

"Eh, is that okay?"

Broly looked at the red-haired Pallum.

"Good, I strongly agree with Bell's proposal."

Lorne immediately nodded in agreement; yesterday when accepting Broly's guidance, the Sword Princess's displeased gaze had given him a lot of pressure.

And today, besides the Sword Princess, the party had gained another Thousand Elf; thinking of what Bell had whispered to him when the three arrived — that the Thousand Elf of the Loki Familia was also the one Broly-san had encountered…

Lorne today did not want to accept the death-glares of the girls, which were like twice the amount of a bothersome third wheel.

And after he finished speaking his agreement to split up, Lorne discovered Ais looking at him, her gaze different from yesterday's displeasure.

Hmm, today's gaze seemed to carry appreciation, as if saying: "Good, you know your place, didn't act as a magic stone lamp between us."

Ais did not know what had happened, but the behavior of the Hermes Familia's Pallum Lorne — not planning to occupy Broly's limited guidance energy and time — still made her feel very delighted.

She subconsciously cast a grateful gaze at the Pallum, believing the other party had yielded the Saiyan boy's limited time and energy to her.

Of course, there was also Lefiya.

"Mr. Lorne, if you need any help in the future, you can come find me."

Ais made a promise.

"Eh?!"

And those words gave Lorne a strong sense of deja vu.

He pondered for a moment, then reacted — Broly-san had also said those words to him.

【Hah, these two really do have that married-couple look!】

Lorne retorted inwardly, while on the surface he hurriedly waved his hands.

"It's no big deal, I didn't do anything."

Just gave the little lovebirds a chance to date in the Dungeon.

Okay, saying "date in the Dungeon" sounds weird, but that was indeed what Lorne thought.

The Pallum stood beside the white-haired youth, watching Broly's party of three leave.

"If I could learn even a move or two from Broly-san/sensei, maybe I could catch the girl I like!"

After the figures of Broly's three vanished, the two spoke those words almost in unison.

"Eh, Bell/Mr. Lorne, you too?" *2

The two stared at each other, then suddenly smiled in mutual understanding.

Only feeling that the relationship between them had drawn much closer in an instant.

Dungeon Labyrinth 19th Floor, after Broly brought Ais and Lefiya here, he did not go deeper.

Treating this floor — where one could return to the 18th Floor Safe Floor Labyrinth, Rivira, at any time to process magic stones and drops — as a good place for training.

Training began; the Sword Princess girl quickly entered training state, but the Elf girl was somewhat depressed, because her swordsmanship had not yet reached the degree to deal with the monsters of the Middle Floors 19th Floor Labyrinth here.

【Ah, Miss Ais, pay some attention to me too~】

Watching the Sword Princess girl immersed in training over there, all her attention on the Saiyan boy guiding her own training, Lefiya produced the same emotion as the Sword Princess girl yesterday — wanting to demand attention.

Only Ais wanted Broly to pay attention to her, train her; while Lefiya wanted Ais to pay attention to her, not ignore her, not cold-shoulder her.

"Ah~"

However, Lefiya also understood, Miss Ais came to find Mr. Broly for training to get stronger; if she directly voiced her desire for Miss Ais's attention, it would likely only hinder Miss Ais's training.

【I cannot become Miss Ais's help, but at least I must not become her obstacle…】

Lefiya thought, though somewhat lonely, she decided not to disturb Miss Ais's training, and just silently cheered her on in her heart from the side.

"Miss Lefiya, Miss Ais's training arrangement is done, it's your turn."

Only, before she could find a safe place to sit down, Broly walked over and said to her.

"Eh, there's something for me too?"

The Elf girl pointed at her own nose, asking in confusion.

"Of course, Miss Lefiya, didn't you come with Miss Ais to find me for guidance training?"

Broly looked at her with some puzzlement.

"Ah, that is of course true, but the monsters here, I have no way to defeat them with just swordsmanship."

Lefiya reminded.

"I know that, so I'll be your sparring partner."

Broly drew his sword, came before the Elf girl.

The Elf girl blinked, ultimately unable to remain a silent cheerleader member, and was pulled by Broly to the side to practice swordsmanship.

After a whole day of being Broly's sparring partner, Lefiya surprisingly felt a satisfaction that her swordsmanship had obviously improved.

"Mr. Broly, I finally know why Miss Ais likes coming to find you for guidance training."

After leaving the Dungeon, Lefiya said sincerely.

Training to get stronger, just like working out, is addictive.

"If you like it, Miss Lefiya, come find me for guidance training more often together with Miss Ais."

Broly said with a laugh; today the Elf girl, under his gentle feeding of moves, had obtained inside-and-out physical and mental satisfaction, Happiness Value increased by three points more than usual.

"Mm, okay."

Lefiya nodded agreement; getting stronger again, and being able to stay with Miss Ais — this was simply the good thing she could not ask for more.

However, tomorrow she did not want to come, because tomorrow was Orario's Monster Festival; she wanted to invite the Sword Princess girl to go play at the festival together.

Okay, saying "play" — it was actually a date; and as for whether she could successfully invite Miss Ais on a date, Lefiya felt there was no problem.

After all, those two fists on her eyes were not taken for nothing.

"Mr. Broly, tomorrow is the Monster Festival, do you want to go on a date with me?"

However, before she could say she would not come temporarily tomorrow, Lefiya witnessed the Sword Princess girl beside her take the initiative to send out a date invitation to the Saiyan boy.

"Ah?!" She widened her eyes looking over, and asked, "Miss Ais, you want to date Mr. Broly?"

"Mm, I want to repay Mr. Broly, and Riveria said, a date is the best repayment besides gift-giving."

Ais seriously nodded, Lefiya's body seemed to have turned a grayish-white color, clearly she also wanted to date Miss Ais, how did things turn out like this?!

"Lefiya, do you want to come with us too?"

Ais looked at the somewhat stiffened elf girl, and couldn't help but ask.

"Eh?"

Lefiya came back to her senses, somewhat unsure.

"Miss Ais, you mean the three of us date together?"

"Mhm, do you want to come together?"

The Sword Princess girl nodded, then asked again.

She felt more people was good, only then could she better express her gratitude towards the boy.

"Ugh... Please let me date with you all!"

If it were a Saiyan boy two-timing, inviting them to a group date, the elf girl would definitely refuse without a second thought, and might even spew profanities.

But now it's the Sword Princess girl two-timing, wanting to invite her to a group date, yet Lefiya finds it hard to refuse.

A three-person date is a three-person date, still better than Miss Ais and Mr. Broly, the two of them going on a date alone.

"Mr. Broly, what's your answer?"

Ais turned her head again to look at the Saiyan boy, the girl standing on the dusk street at this moment, looked just like a knight inviting a princess to dance, waiting for the princess's response.

"Not training, but going on a date? That's of course fine."

The Sword Princess girl's initiative was something Broly hadn't expected, and he also had no reason to refuse the other party's invitation.
