Chapter 726: Heard the Gale's Name by Chance, Washed Bed Sheets at Midnight!

"Ais, are you alright?"

Broly, who had rushed over here, directly asked the Sword Princess girl who was staying at the edge of the cliff.

"I'm fine, I just let that culprit get away."

Ais shook her head and replied.

"I'll go help over there..."

She looked in the direction of Rivira Town.

The awakened Fallen Fairy Spirit clone, during its escape, rushed into that Adventurer town.

At this moment, inside the town, it was a scene of utter chaos.

Thinking of the guy she fought, who had mentioned her mother's name, Ais urgently wanted to know the details of this matter.

Although her opponent had run away now, there was still one here who hadn't escaped yet.

After finishing her words, Ais used Wind Spirit Sprint and rushed toward Rivira Town, intercepting the other party before the Fallen Fairy Spirit clone could climb the cliff wall and escape the Eighteenth Floor Labyrinth.

"Tell me, why do you know the name Alaya?"

The vines climbing the cliff wall were severed, the Fallen Fairy Spirit clone fell from the cliff wall, and Ais, falling along with it, pointed her sword at the other party and questioned them.

"A... laya, ugh, ea... eat... you!"

The faceless female humanoid plant monster's words were somewhat halting, and finally it roared out; a large amount of vines extended and spread toward Ais's side. The Despair Sword in Ais's hand continuously slashed, but the vines would rapidly regenerate after being severed.

For a time, the Sword Princess girl actually couldn't take down the monster before her, and was even surrounded by the Fallen Fairy Spirit clone's large amount of vines, gradually falling into a disadvantage.

However, when Broly and the others rushed over here, the disadvantageous situation was reversed, and the Fallen Fairy Spirit clone prepared to flee again.

Only, the Saiyan boy didn't give it this chance; he gathered Qi on the Fire Joy Sword and gave the other party a Dragon God Style Flame Sword Slash, directly cutting the Fallen Fairy Spirit clone, which had climbed the cliff wall again, in two.

During this, Ais opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end said nothing; well, one couldn't possibly expect the boy to spare the monster under his sword.

The Man-eating Flower Monsters that appeared in Rivira Town were quickly eliminated cleanly through the intervention of Broly, Ais, Tiona, and the others.

Since the main force of the Man-eating Flowers were on Broly's side, and the intruding Fallen Fairy Spirit clone was busy fleeing, it didn't bring too many casualties to the Adventurers here, except for some unlucky bastards who suffered some severe injuries and disabilities; surprisingly, no one died.

Of course, although no one died, the losses were still huge; buildings of half the town were destroyed. You must know, the Dungeon autonomously repairs the environment; Rivira Town's buildings are built against the mountain, the main body is the Dungeon's environment, but the structural civil engineering materials were transported down bit by bit from the Outside World by the Adventurers here. Plus, using Magic Swords — such expensive Tools — to deal with the Man-eating Flower swarm, the economic loss caused to Rivira Town by this attack is at least over a hundred million.

"Those damn culprits!"

And upon learning that there was someone manipulating the Man-eating Flower swarm behind the scenes, Moduo, the boss of Rivira Town, started cursing up a storm.

One thinks, if the chief culprit were still here, they would probably be attacked en masse by this group of angry Rivira Town Adventurer residents.

After finishing cursing, Moduo then looked at Ais, Broly, and the others, and he proactively thanked them: "Thank you for your help; if not for you helping, we would probably have lost some people."

"You're welcome."

Ais replied, subconsciously looking at the Cat Person girl beside her.

Lulune shrank her neck and also tugged at the hood on her head, afraid the Sword Princess would report her; it was the Commission Item she had accepted that attracted the Giant Man-Eating Flower swarm to launch an attack on Rivira Town.

If this were known, and others wanted her to take responsibility for this matter, even selling her to the Pleasure Street wouldn't be enough to compensate.

Fortunately, Ais didn't say anything more; Broly and the others sold the Man-eating Flower's Special Magic Stones to Moduo, the local snakehead boss of Rivira Town, took some Guild signed bills/checks from him, and then directly left the Eighteenth Floor Labyrinth.

"Miss Ais, are you really alright?"

On the way back, Lefiya still couldn't help but ask the girl beside her.

"I'm fine, what is it?"

The Sword Princess girl looked toward the Elf girl.

"But Miss Ais, you look like you have something on your mind..."

Lefiya paused, but still asked.

"Miss Ais, who is that Alaya the culprit spoke of, and is it related to you?"

Ais was silent for a while, then nodded with an "Mm," but didn't explain anything for it.

The Sword Princess girl had a look of not wanting to say more; Lefiya also couldn't ask further.

Broly looked back at the two of them, but remembered the name Alaya.

Leaving the Dungeon, returning to the surface, while heading to the Guild Headquarters to sell the drops, Broly also told the Half-Elf lady who came to liaise with him about what happened in the Eighteenth Floor Labyrinth.

"This is an important matter; I need to report it to my superiors."

Eina left, and soon brought back her Cat Person superior.

"Mr. Broly, Guild President Royman requests your presence."

Remele said.

"The Guild hopes you can keep this matter confidential."

The portly Royman, after Broly and the others were invited into the office, spoke straightforwardly to the group.

"May I ask why?"

"If Adventurers knew there is a group of monsters that can ignore floors and move at will, this matter would likely cause panic among Adventurers.

Orario's core economy is built by the Magic Stone industry; the source of Magic Stones is countless Adventurers going down into the Dungeon to solve monsters..."

"So the Guild intends to conceal danger information?"

"Not so; the Guild just doesn't want to cause panic among low-level Adventurers; the Giant Man-Eating Flower incident in Rivira Town will still be investigated as it should be."

Royman crossed his hands on the table.

"Of course, the Guild also won't let you keep the secret for nothing; you can also obtain the corresponding hush money from the Guild side."

This Guild Master Royman Madil's reputation in the Outside World is not good; he indulges in pleasure, and due to gluttony presents an obese image, being sarcastically mocked by the Outside World as the 【Guild's Pig】.

However, this person's management ability is outstanding; he knows what to talk about with Adventurers — morality, righteousness, the big picture?

Dog shit — only tangible profit can drive this group that adventures for the sake of profit.

"I don't want money, I want information. The Guild seems to know something about that killer in Rivira, and that strange bead that ultimately fused with a monster to become a stronger monster, with a strange fetus inside it. I want to know that part of the information..."

Ais brought it up directly, then looked at the Saiyan boy beside her: "Mr. Broly, I want to know about this matter. It's very important to me. I hope you can support me. I'm willing to compensate you afterward."

Hearing this, Broly just smiled: "Since it's something very important to you, then I'll ask for this too."

Among those present, Ais could represent the opinions of the three people including herself from the Loki Familia, while Broly could represent Bell's opinion.

As for the others, whether it was Lorne and his companion from the Hermes Familia, or Kashima and her two companions from the Takemikazuchi Familia, none of them had the right to dialogue with the Guild.

They were only invited because they participated in this matter and knew some of the inside information, and the Guild wanted them to keep it secret.

"Alright, but the Guild isn't omniscient either. I can only tell you the information the Guild has grasped, and only limited to this part of the information."

Royman agreed and began answering the two questions Ais had raised earlier.

"That bead is called the Fetus Jewel. According to the information our Guild has grasped, it should be a derivative species seed evolved from a powerful monster in the unknown depths of the Dungeon. Its function is to combine with other monsters, giving birth to even stronger monsters."

"What does it have to do with Fairy Spirits?"

"Fairy Spirit?" Royman shook his head and said, "That's information the Guild also hasn't grasped."

"Alright, then what about the killer?"

Ais frowned and pursued the question again.

"That should be a guy from the Dark Faction. Those rats in the sewers have been hiding and operating in the Dungeon ever since their crushing defeat during the Great Faction War seven years ago."

Royman answered.

"Wait, wasn't the Dark Faction announced as annihilated five years ago?"

Lefiya asked. Although she wasn't an Adventurer five years ago, as an outstanding student in the School District back then, she also understood Orario's situation at the time.

"Indeed it was announced as annihilated, but correctly speaking, what was annihilated at that time were only the Dark Faction remnant leaders like the White-Haired Oni and the others.

The time the Dark Faction was truly annihilated should have been two years ago, when a bounty criminal codenamed 'Gale Rion' killed the remaining Dark Faction remnants."

"Eh, a bounty criminal?"

"Rion?"

"This is unrelated to this matter. You only need to know the other party killed many people, including Guild civil servants, forcing us to openly place a bounty on them."

Royman didn't intend to explain further. This matter is basically known by all the Gods of Orario, and the Guild's top-level personnel also know, but it can't be said openly, so he's just mentioning it in passing.

"And the dispersal of darkness doesn't mean it will never return, whether it's those hidden even deeper in darkness, or newcomers who throw themselves into darkness.

Miss Lefiya of the Loki Familia, as a young Elf, you still need a deeper cognition of this world."

Perhaps due to being the same race, President Royman added a few more words, seemingly wanting the young Elf girl not to think of this world as too beautiful, too idealized.

"Where there is light there is darkness. Schemers and evildoers always want to overturn Orario's current order, and our Guild is the organization that has always opposed the darkness. Of course, relying on you Adventurers."

Royman concluded with this sentence.

"Then, the last question."

"What?"

"Was the person who commissioned Miss Lulune to retrieve the Fetus Jewel a Guild person?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Royman fell silent for a moment, then gave an affirmative reply.

Leaving the Guild Headquarters, the group that arrived outside each had their own harvest.

"Mr. Broly, today we won't go bother Hearth Manor. I want to go back as soon as possible to report the matter to Finn and Loki."

Ais said directly. Although the Guild demanded secrecy, that doesn't mean keeping it secret from the Captain and Main God of the same Familia. As long as they don't publicly announce the Dark Faction and Fetus Jewel matters to other Adventurers, it's fine.

"Okay."

Broly nodded, and the group bid farewell to each other at the Guild entrance, each scattering.

"Miss Xier..."

In the evening, when going to the Hostess of Fertility to eat, Broly stopped the Quest Board girl who had finished serving dishes and was preparing to leave.

"Right now is work hours. I can't just serve you alone, Mr. Broly~"

Xier said somewhat playfully.

"Won't take long. I just have some matters regarding Miss Liu I want to ask Miss Xier about."

"Hmm, about Liu, what is it?"

Xier looked over with some curiosity.

Broly didn't say directly, but made a gesture to whisper, placing his palm vertically beside his mouth.

Helen understood, and using Xier's posture held the empty tray and leaned her ear over. Her right cheek could clearly feel the Saiyan boy's warm breath, which made her ear a bit itchy, and her cheeks also flushed slightly red.

"Eh?"

However, upon hearing Broly ask whether Liu is Gale, she froze a bit.

How should she answer? Directly say yes? Or lie and claim she doesn't know?

"Miss Xier?"

Broly looked at her in puzzlement.

"Hmm, this matter is a bit hard to say. Can I answer you tomorrow?"

Helen thought for a bit, then decided to use a delaying tactic.

How to answer exactly — she'd wait until she got back and ask Lady Freya first.

"Okay."

Broly didn't refuse. The Quest Board girl's not answering directly was actually a kind of answer in itself.

This also indirectly explains why Miss Liu, despite being a tavern waitress, possesses considerable strength.

"Lili, do you know Gale Wind?"

At night, while holding the Pallum girl, Broly asked.

"Eh, who is that?"

Liliruca turned her head and asked with some confusion, and she clearly did not know about Gale Wind.

"It should be Miss Liu..."

Broly briefly explained today's events.

"Miss Liu's encounter progress has always been very slow, so I want to understand her past, to see if I can get closer to her faster."

After hearing this, whether it was the Pallum girl being held by the boy, or the Loli Goddess holding the boy, both couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Although they did not oppose the boy encountering other girls, as expected, they still felt upset when the other party set his heart on another encounter target.

"I will go help inquire about it."

Liliruca said.

"Perhaps, Broly, you can go ask Miss Eina; she is a Guild staff member, so presumably she has more adventurer information."

Hestia also gave a suggestion.

"Good."

Broly nodded, then kissed his own Goddess, followed by the Pallum girl.

"Ah, you this kid..."

"Broly-san, ugh..."

After their lips parted, whether it was Hestia or Liliruca, both felt a small happiness.

Unconsciously, they reached their hands toward certain parts of the boy's body.

"Hm?"

Broly did not stop them nor dodge; he was very used to this kind of touching from his wives.

However, unlike the past where there wasn't much strange feeling, this time he actually had some sensation.

Hmm, it was a strange feeling, causing his Qi and Blood to unconsciously flow toward the place being touched.

"Eh?" *2

Liliruca and Hestia couldn't help but let out surprised sounds.

"Broly-san he?!"

Liliruca asked.

"Don't know, but we can check~"

Hestia proposed, and the Magic Stone Lamps in the room were turned on.

Not long after, Broly's muffled groans rang out from the room.

"Ah~"

Then came the Loli Goddess's surprised sound, followed by the Pallum girl's sound of agreement.

One Goddess One Person, just like they had found some fun toy.

Only, the somewhat complacent One Goddess One Person forgot that their own boy was not someone who didn't know how to counterattack.

Later on, the people letting out suppressed strange sounds in the room were not only Broly, but also them.

Until the latter half of the night, Hestia and Liliruca were only carried by Broly to the bathroom to wash their bodies, then carried to another room's clean bed to sleep peacefully.

As for the bedding and sheets on the original room's bed, they were taken by Broly all night to be washed.

During the washing process, a strange thought emerged in Broly's consciousness:

Perhaps, a room should have two more beds placed in it, achieving dry-wet separation would be more suitable.
