Chapter 727

The next day, Broly woke up on another bed, and upon waking, he could clearly feel the difference between himself and yesterday.

His body, however, showed a vigorous appearance right after he woke up early in the morning.

It was as if the teasing by Liliruca and Hestia last night, and the exertion caused, had not had any effect at all.

The Saiyan boy climbed out of the quilt, looking at his body's abnormality, and a strange thought popped into his consciousness: 【A new phone's battery is full……】

Just as he was trying hard not to be this spirited so early in the morning, the Pallum girl woke up in a daze.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the boy standing on the pillow beside her, which reminded her of last night when she and Hestia played a prank on the boy, teased him, but were counterattacked by Broly with a huff……

Thinking of last night's events, the Pallum girl's fair face quickly reddened, but she did not avert her gaze; instead, her eyes held affection as she asked the boy standing by the pillow: "Broly-san, do you need my help?"

Broly thought for a moment, then requested: "Then Lili, I'll leave it to you."

"Leave everything to me."

"Ah, Broly, just one night, and this child already dislikes me?"

Facing the Goddess's tantrum after getting up, Broly could only compromise.

After Broly changed clothes, washed up, and went out the door, Ais and Ryu and the others were already waiting outside Hearth Manor.

"Broly-san, you seem to have gotten up a bit late today."

Ryu said a line upon seeing him come out; she had originally come over here very early, but today the boy did not start morning practice before dawn, and she was too embarrassed to disturb him directly, so she waited at the front door, and waited until even the Sword Princess and the others came over here, before Broly finally came out the door leisurely.

"Sorry, last night I wet the bedsheets, washed the bedsheets, so I slept later……"

Broly apologized; he naturally couldn't say he had woken up early.

However, Broly did not reply, as if tacitly accepting her statement, causing Tiona's laughter to gradually die down; the Amazoness girl, seeing everyone's gazes looking over at her, became a bit embarrassed.

"Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to expose your shortcoming on purpose……"

The Saiyan boy merely looks small; in reality, he is a youth only two years younger than herself.

"It's fine, what Tiona said is also the truth……"

Broly waved his hand indifferently.

"Ah, the day's plan lies in the morning, let's hurry up and do morning practice!"

Lefiya mediated from the side, wanting to gloss over the embarrassing topic of bedwetting.

"Okay."

Broly did not refuse; the people doing morning practice together in the courtyard this morning, however, had increased by two: Tiona and Lefiya.

"Still going to the Dungeon today?"

Ais swung her sword over and asked.

"I have other things to do today, so I won't go to the Dungeon."

Broly answered, casually blocking the Sword Princess girl's sword, spinning and kicking the wooden sword blade the elf lady was chopping down with one foot.

Last night the ability values updated, the second ability value panel; because he eliminated a large number of Man-Eating Flowers yesterday, he obtained a considerable amount of experience, thereby gaining tremendous growth.

Clearly only a day had passed, but Broly's base values under super-weighted training had already surpassed Ryu, who had been stuck at Lv. 4 for many years, heading straight for the Sword Princess's Lv. 5 base values; plus his swordsmanship was higher than both of them, so today it actually caused the two to form an alliance and join forces against him.

"Then what about tomorrow?"

Ais pursued the question.

"I should go tomorrow."

Broly thought and answered; just inquiring about 【Gale Rion】's news, it shouldn't take a whole day.

"Then Broly-san, do you want to go to the Dungeon with us?"

"Hm?"

"Finn said, starting from tomorrow for the next few days, our Familia will head to the Dungeon's Middle Floors to farm monsters for money."

Facing the boy's puzzled look at her words, Ais began to explain; Tiona then took over her words, giving a series of supplementary explanations: "That is to prepare funds for the large-scale expedition our Familia plans to conduct afterwards.

Hmm, the so-called large-scale expedition is exploring the Deeper Floors of the Dungeon Labyrinth's Unknown Floors; and for each new Unknown Floor broken through, the successful expedition Familia can obtain corresponding Reputation and Status.

Our Captain values this quite a bit; as Familia members, we must also contribute to the Familia when it needs us.

So, if you don't plan to go with us, we probably won't be able to team up with you for the next few days, because we have to go with other Companions in the Familia to the Deeper Floor Labyrinth to farm monsters for money."

Basically it's a team-building activity, right; the Loki Familia First String Adventurers have high Levels, and for more efficient money-farming to save up Economy for a new large-scale expedition, the Deeper Floor Labyrinth is their best choice; whether it's the quantity of monsters or the quality of drops, it's more efficient than killing monsters in the Middle-Upper areas.

"Can I bring other people?"

"You mean Bell and them? That probably won't work; their strength is too weak; going to the Deeper Floor Labyrinth, they can't even handle a Supporter's job."

The Amazoness girl shook her head and answered; to be a Supporter in a Deeper Floor Labyrinth, it's not enough to just be able to Deal With a Lv. 2 Minotaur; at the very least one needs to be Lv. 3 or Lv. 4.

Otherwise, that's not called a Supporter, but a Burden Child.

"Then I probably won't go."

Broly considered for a bit, then gave his reply; he is not someone who values beauty over friends.

Moreover, once we go to the Deeper Floors, we probably won't be able to come back every day.

Admittedly, Ais and Lefiya are Encounter Targets, but Liliruca, Lady Hestia, and Ryu and Xier Jiejie are also his Encounter Targets.

"Is that so……"

The Sword Princess girl was somewhat disappointed; she really wanted the Saiyan boy to come along, the Middle Floor Labyrinth monsters' strength actually isn't quite enough.

If possible, she hopes that when facing more extreme Opponents, Broly can be by her side guiding her swordsmanship.

The morning practice ended; looking at the four girls who participated in today's morning practice, each one dripping with fragrant sweat, Broly, who could smell some scents on them, suddenly felt his Qi and Blood wanting to rush to his head again.

After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to suppress the feeling of Qi and Blood rushing up.

Growth always comes with troubles; this is something that should only appear inadvertently, but for Broly, it seems that on the day after discovering his body's changes, he distinctly perceived this trouble on a physiological level.

His Qi and Blood are too abundant, to the extent that there are always physiological expressions of reactions favoring the targets among his Encounters.

【Just like Teddy……】

While Ais and the others went to bathe, Broly sat alone on the sofa, and this thought involuntarily popped into his mind.

"Broly-san, Hestia-sama and I are heading out."

The Pallum girl came over to greet him before leaving; Liliruca's complexion looked very good today.

"Mm, be careful on the road."

Suppressing the thought of seeking help, Broly just nodded at Liliruca, looking no different from before.

After seeing off Ais, Ryu, and the others who had finished bathing, Broly entered the bathroom alone — still scented with shampoo, just used by the girls — lay down in the hot spring pool, and floating on the water's surface, watching his Qi and Blood surge again, he began to stare blankly.

This feeling of his Qi and Blood being out of control made him feel irritable; Broly recalled some scenes of intimacy between men and women he had witnessed before, and unconsciously adopted the male perspective, imagining the women as his many wives, until the image finally settled on Fujimura Taiga and little Sakura, whom he had agreed were first and second.

By the time Broly finished bathing, it was already nine o'clock in Orario.

He first went to the Hostess of Fertility tavern and found Xier Jiejie, whom he had asked about Ryu's situation yesterday, and asked how her consideration was going.

"Ryu's past, I can tell you, Mr. Broly, but her story is too long, and I don't want her to find out that I secretly leaked her past information to you, so if you want to know, you might need a not-short private conversation with me."

Freyya Xier said with a smile.

"Then, I wonder if Xier Jiejie has time today?"

Broly asked directly.

"What, you want to date me alone, and not go to the Dungeon Labyrinth to accompany Sword Princess and the others?"

Xier curiously countered; she was speaking normally, yet one could feel the girl held some resentment over this matter.

"I'm not going to the Labyrinth today; I want to understand Ryu Xiaojie's past..."

Broly replied, paused, then added another sentence.

"Of course, if Xier Jiejie is also willing, then I also want to understand your past."

Hearing this, Xier froze, feeling her heart pound like a little deer; her face unconsciously reddened.

This wasn't an act; it was the Goddess of Beauty Freya's genuine reaction beneath the Quest Board girl's guise.

"Hehe, wanting to know my past is still too early, Mr. Broly; you'll have to raise my favorability more first~"

The cute gray-haired girl said playfully.

"Then, how can I raise your favorability, Xier Jiejie?"

Broly seriously consulted the person herself.

"Ugh, I don't know either, but we can start by discussing common topics."

"For example?"

"Today, are you willing to risk angering Miya Mama and skip work to go on a date with me, Mr. Broly?"

Xier extended her right hand toward the boy, palm facing away, just like a lady waiting for a gentleman's invitation at a ball, and asked.

"Then let's go."

Broly glanced at Xier, then directly took her smooth small hand, pulling her toward the tavern's front door.

"Eh, Miya Mama is terrifying; if you anger her, the danger is no less than solo challenging a Dungeon Floor Lord."

Xier, being pulled along, reacted; she thought the boy didn't know Miya Mama's terror, so she hurriedly warned him.

"I've solo-solved a Labyrinth Floor Lord before, and bringing you along won't necessarily anger her, because I'll ask for leave on your behalf."

Broly first declared his martial prowess, then turned toward the back kitchen and shouted to the little giant Boss Lady inside: "Miya Mama, can I borrow your tavern's Xier Jiejie for a day? I'm willing to pay the corresponding rental fee."

"If Xier is willing, then feel free; after all, she's just an employee of my tavern, not a slave of my tavern."

The little giant Miya walked out; she looked at the Saiyan boy holding the Quest Board girl's hand, her face red, waved her hand, and said.

"Miya Mama said so; then, Xier Jiejie, are you willing to take leave and go on a date with me?"

Broly turned and asked the gray-haired girl behind him, kicking the question of whether to go on a date alone back to her, directly reversing the offensive.

Xier: "..."

She looked at the little giant Miya, but the little giant Miya's only response was a shrug of the shoulders and an indifferent gaze.

【Silence speaks louder than words; Freya understood her Former Captain's micro-expression: You goddess wanted to use this old lady as a tool person to tease the boy you're interested in, now the offensive has been reversed on you, so suffer through it yourself, I'm not coming out to make things difficult for that kid Broly...】

At this moment, silence was more eloquent than speech; Freya read the meaning in her Former Captain's micro-expression, and somewhat helplessly, could only go along: "Then, let's go."

After the two left, a smile finally appeared on the little giant Miya's face; the Old Driver Goddess found it truly interesting that her teasing tactics failed against a straightforward, highly capable kid, and she was instead countered by the boy.

She originally thought a boy targeted by a Goddess would be in a situation of being led by the nose by girls, but now it seems there's completely no need to worry.

Miya was in a good mood; just then, the elf walked out from the back kitchen, didn't see Xier helping in the shop, and couldn't help but ask: "Miya Mama, where's Xier?"

"She went on a date with that kid Broly."

"Eh?"

Ryu widened her eyes; it was almost the busy noon lunch hour, and she ran off on a date at this time?

The elf lady felt a trace of resentment toward her friend, but she immediately composed herself.

Decided to help her friend by covering her absent work shift.

Hope it won't be blocked, but if it is, there's nothing I can do...
