Chapter 735

"Hm?"

Inside the 24th Floor Labyrinth Food Storage, having dealt with the strengthened species monsters that had intruded, Revis suddenly turned her head and looked outward toward the Food Storage entrance — the breach punched through by the strengthened species monsters.

"What's wrong?"

The white-haired oni noticed her abnormality and subconsciously asked.

"I just sensed a probing gaze."

"Is it a monster's?"

"Not a monster, but an Adventurer's."

"Eh, then where is the other party?"

Hearing this, the white-haired oni hurriedly followed her gaze and looked outside.

"Just now it was on the cliff to the right outside."

"How come I didn't see it?"

"The other party should have used some kind of invisibility tool; of course, the presence is already gone now."

Revis answered.

"Ah, then why didn't you go deal with the other party?"

The white-haired oni frowned and asked.

"That should just be a small fry who came to probe this side's situation; why would I go deal with them? Isn't your purpose to cultivate a sufficient quantity of Man-Eating Flower clusters here, then push forward flatly?

Then, attracting powerful Adventurers over here in advance and eliminating them right here, wiping out the viable Adventurer force that protects Orario, isn't that more beneficial to your subversion plan?"

Revis's counter-question left the white-haired oni somewhat at a loss for words, because what the other party said made very good sense.

"What, you spoke so confidently about the subversion plan yesterday, now are you afraid you'll crash and burn yourself?"

The red-haired female weirdo slightly hooked the corner of her mouth, directly pulling the mockery to the max.

"Hah, I won't crash and burn; if Adventurers really dare intrude into the Food Storage, I'll definitely make them stay here."

The white-haired oni hurriedly let out a cold snort, supplementing his words, but of course he still obediently set up some external early warning measures.

The Man-Eating Flowers' current quantity is still not enough; if they were to encounter powerful Adventurers, for example the Mighty One who defeated Bao Chi Zha Charles seven years ago coming over, then they'd truly have to bring their Flower King and flee in advance.

"Lulune, are you sure?"

WaiTou, having distanced themselves from the Food Storage's unknown, Asfi asked the dog-girl beside her.

"Lady Asfi, I am absolutely certain; that person is the murderer who appeared in Rivira Town!"

Lulune nodded vigorously.

Tearing off the human skin mask, revealing that woman's face — she remembers it deeply; even if it turned to ash she would recognize it.

"This is troublesome; a guy who can exchange blows with the Sword Princess is inside."

Asfi knitted her brows.

"Lady Asfi, we are only going to investigate the situation, not to defeat the guy who triggered the monster rampage; with the Invisibility Cloak's help, infiltrating to investigate shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Lulune is quite confident in her own Regiment Commander's crafted invisibility tool; didn't she see that just now so many monsters near the Food Storage didn't discover their traces?

"No, we won't take this risk; return now and contact the quest client; if the other party has no follow-up support, we'll abandon this quest......"

However, Asfi shook her head.

"Eh, then what if the other party goes to the Guild and exposes us?"

Lulune's face showed a worried expression.

"Being exposed and fined by the Guild is still better than suffering casualties."

Asfi's intuition has always been very good; she feels that the red-haired woman inside the Food Storage has probably already discovered their existence.

When just now, draped in the Invisibility Cloak outside the Food Storage observing, and the other party looked over toward their side from afar with a single glance.

As an intelligence chief, Asfi has always trusted her own feelings.

"The situation is like this; if there is no additional support, we will abandon this commission; if you want to expose our Familia's concealment of facts, then go expose it."

The commission was placed last night, the result came this afternoon; the Omnipotent on the other end of the Communication Crystal spoke with an extremely resolute attitude — either continue dispatching support, or directly end the commission.

"I will dispatch another stronger Adventurer to go over and rendezvous with you all to execute the investigation quest together."

Fels thought for a while, then gave a reply to the other end of the Communication Crystal.

"We will wait on this side in Rivira Town for two days; no waiting past the deadline."

Aphias quickly gave a Rivira Town address and stated the time they could stand by.

After ending the communication, the Great Sage under the black robe began thinking about who to find to go help.

"Ganesha holds a grudge over his children's deaths......"

On the altar, the Guild's Main God Uranus spoke a sentence.

"My children definitely died because of JJ people!"

This is the Elephant-Nosed God's obstinate assertion after learning of his own children's deaths.

"If we go ask the Ganesha Familia, they should go all out to help, to avenge their dead companions."

"But recently cracking down on Orario's smuggling of gray industries still needs them; if we commission them with this matter, it might cause their intensity in cracking down on gray smuggling to decrease."

"Then Fels, do you have another reinforcement candidate?"

"One matter does not trouble two masters; I already have a target for requesting aid."

"Regarding repair fees, I won't charge labor costs; just count the material costs."

At the Hephaestus Familia Residence, Broly came to repair his two pieces of severely worn equipment; the One-Eyed Craftsman, after looking them over, spoke thus to the Saiyan boy.

"Eh? Then doesn't that mean you worked for free?"

Broly asked in surprise.

"Chun, you don't need to stand on ceremony with me, I made a huge profit this time."

He said again.

"It's not that I'm standing on ceremony with you, it's just that I'm already your wife, so if I charged you money, wouldn't that make us seem distant?

Hmm, before I became your wife I charged you normally, and after becoming your wife I still charged you normally, then wouldn't that mean you got to know me for nothing, and I became your wife for nothing?"

"Uh..."

"How about this, the labor fee reward will be changed to something else."

"Changed to what?"

"That kind of kiss from last time, I still want it, so how about changing it to that?"

The One-Eyed Craftsman smiled and asked the boy, the experience of being kissed last time was still fresh in her memory, saying words that made one feel shy, Chun felt she seemed to be a bit of a shotacon.

【Broly is small, if I could hold the other party in my arms, and let them peck kisses at me like a chick pecking rice, I would definitely feel very comfortable...】

Thinking like this, Chun's eyes began to shimmer with light, as if a layer of spring water had rippled up.

【Is this wanting it?】

Hephaestus watched from the side, couldn't help but sigh a breath, her own Familia's captain indeed had no experience, she was even a bit in heat, and her demand was actually that plain, merely wanting to play kissy-kissy with Broly.

【Sigh, still have to rely on me!】

Thinking of the reason she was pulled into the group by Chun and became this child Broly's wife together, Hephaestus stepped out, interrupting her own captain's overly plain demand: "Chun, you should change to a different demand."

"Eh, Lady Hephaestus?" The One-Eyed Craftsman looked over in some surprise, subconsciously asking, "Then I don't know, what demand should I change to?"

She thought maybe her demand was a bit too excessive, which led her own Goddess to intervene.

"Don't kiss, just sleep directly, you're already husband and wife, if you haven't slept together, isn't that very strange?"

Hephaestus said this, then turned her head to look at the Saiyan boy, asking: "Broly, no problem with this demand, right?"

"Uh, then can I be the one to lead how we sleep?"

Hearing this, Broly hesitated a bit, and asked.

"Eh, you, this child, taking the initiative?"

Hephaestus froze for a moment, but quickly nodded.

"No problem, anyway Chun has no experience either."

A small horse pulling a big cart, better to let the small horse take the initiative.

"Then what about you, Lady Hephaestus?"

Broly asked again.

"Eh, you want me to join too?"

The Red-haired Goddess widened her eyes, her originally normal face quickly tinged with a hint of red clouds.

"Uh, could it be you're not joining?"

Broly was instead a bit dumbfounded, his Fire Joy Sword and Sorrow's Grief Fist Armor would probably be co-forged by these two external wives together afterwards.

With both of them working, he couldn't just pay only one of them, right?

"Together, that works too, but Broly, which side will you sleep with me and Chun on?"

Hephaestus was ultimately still a Goddess, although the first time was to be multiple people, she didn't back down.

"Is the Hearth Manor side okay, after it's expanded, build a super large bedroom, Lady Hestia and Lili and them, can also sleep together with us."

Broly thought of the scene of five people sleeping under the same quilt, and replied.

"Ah, Hestia and Liliruca too?"

"Uh, Lady Hephaestus, this won't work?"

"Also... not that it won't work, but, you've already slept with Hestia?"

"Eh, when I was temporarily staying here with Lady Hestia before, wasn't I sleeping together with her?"

Broly looked at the Goddess of the Forge in some confusion.

"Sleep and sleep are different."

Hephaestus argued back, Broly suddenly understood, quickly reacting.

"Indeed, but the intimate way of sleeping with Lady Hestia was still from over a week ago, the two days before I went to the Dungeon to farm gold."

"Eh, it started from that time?"

"Mm."

Broly nodded, but didn't explain that from that day on, he only then had the feeling.

"Right, if expanding Hearth Manor, have you negotiated with the residents near the Familia Residence?"

"Not yet, I'm not very familiar with this matter."

"Then leave the matter to me, but, how large is Hearth Manor planning to expand?"

"Over nine hundred million Valis, after settling the material costs for repairing equipment, leave ten million Valis for daily expenses, the rest can all be used on the expansion project."

Broly thought a bit and replied.

"You're really generous, using this much money to expand the Familia Residence."

Hephaestus said with some emotion.

"Uh..."

Broly was a bit at a loss how to answer, he went to the Dungeon to farm gold before precisely for this reason.

"Mainly, I have no place to use this much money."

Thinking a bit, he said.

"Hey, aren't you going to update your equipment?"

"Right now, the Fire Joy Sword and Frostmourne Gauntlet Armor are enough for me."

"What about potions?"

"I don't really need potions anymore; my physical strength is sufficient, and the monsters in the dungeon can't really harm me."

"Then you don't have any major expenses?"

"Does spending over a hundred thousand valis a day on meals at the Mistress of Fertility Tavern count?"

"Uh, besides food, you don't have any other hobbies?"

"Practicing sword, practicing fist — do those count as hobbies?"

"They count, just don't cost money."

Young and wealthy, aside from a bit of pursuit in food and drink, his leisure side was like a desert.

This was the thought about the boy that surfaced in Chun and Hephaestus's minds.

"Then you don't have any other desires you want satisfied, that might cost you a fair bit of money?"

Chun asked with some curiosity.

"Hmm..."

Broly pondered a moment, then gave a definite answer: "There are wishes like that."

"What is it?"

Hephaestus also looked at him with some curiosity.

"Does Hephaestus-sama have anything you want?"

Broly answered with a counter-question.

"I..."

Hephaestus was stunned, thought for a bit, then shook her head.

"I don't have anything I want."

"What about Chun?"

Broly looked at the One-Eyed Craftsman.

"What I want... naturally, a better private forge room."

Chun thought a bit and answered.

"In that case, then, Hephaestus-sama, when expanding Hearth Manor this time, please add the construction of a better private forge room."

Broly proposed an opinion on the expansion plan.

"Ah, Broly, what is this?"

The One-Eyed Craftsman stared wide-eyed at him.

"This is a room prepared for you; do you like it?"

"Mm, I like it, but this isn't right of you?"

"Didn't you ask what wishes I have that cost money? Making my own wife happy is exactly that."

Broly answered.

Chun: "..."

"So, if I said I like expensive jewelry?"

"If getting that kind of thing can make Hephaestus-sama happy, I'll buy it and give it to you."

"No matter how much money?"

Hephaestus looked over curiously.

"Uh, that still depends on cost-effectiveness, but if Hephaestus-sama, you really can feel very satisfied and happy after getting expensive jewelry, then I'll still work hard to earn money and buy the jewelry you want to give to you.

Generally speaking, in situations where I can easily earn money, happiness that can be bought without exceeding my earning ability, I think is very worthwhile; but if it exceeds my earning ability, that's another matter.

Of course, if Hephaestus-sama, you definitely want some expensive jewelry I can't afford right now, I'll slowly save money to buy it for you."

Pausing a moment, Broly looked at the Goddess of the Forge: "Hmm, Hephaestus-sama, is there some expensive jewelry you want?"

"Ah, not really, I was just giving an example to ask."

Hephaestus hurriedly waved her hand.

"However, that answer of yours is a bit unexpected."

"Where is it unexpected?"

"Too generous."

"Is that bad?"

"A generous partner is good of course, just I'm a bit worried that if you, this child, later run into a greedy bad woman, won't you end up being used as a money-earning drudge to fulfill the other party's various worldly desires?"

Hephaestus said with quite some worry.

"The only one who can make me a drudge is my wife; if it can make an unknown future wife happy, being a money-earning drudge isn't anything."

Broly didn't mind; giving nothing, yet making someone innocently become happy — that would be strange.

And monetary expenditure, in Broly's view, belongs to the comparatively simple and direct aspects.

"No way, being a drudge for other bad women, you're willing, but I'm not."

However, Chun directly hugged him.

"Hephaestus-sama, you'll protect Broly together with me from now on, not letting him be deceived and exploited by bad women he might encounter, right?"

The One-Eyed Craftsman looked at her own Main God.

"Uh, no mistake."

Hephaestus nodded, then suddenly reacted — she and her own Regiment Captain possessed a certain sovereignty over the boy.

The better forge room he planned to give away has already taken effect; the One-Eyed Craftsman young lady is acting just like she's entered a food-guarding state.

She intimately rubbed her face against the boy's face, yet asked about the highest budget cost for the forge room he was preparing to give her.

Hephaestus felt a bit of a headache — the bad woman trying to squeeze Broly dry turns out to be herself?!

"200 million Valis is already enough; for a private forge room, this budget can already max out the interior configuration — any more would be pure waste."

Fortunately, no matter how expensive a private forge room's construction cost, it can't possibly be endlessly expensive to the heavens; Broly's money is still more than sufficient.

And the remaining money, calculated at Forgotten Alley's cheap land prices, could probably expand Hearth Manor's occupied scale by six or seven times.

"However, the residential quarters shouldn't need to be expanded that large in sync, right? Hestia Familia currently only has you and Bell as two Official Members."

"Mm, the residence only needs to satisfy about ten people or so, separate rooms to live in is fine; additionally, just expand the hot spring pool slightly. As for the rest, if possible, I hope to set up a sufficiently large training ground in the courtyard."

Broly put forward his requirements one by one.

"No problem."

Hephaestus nodded in agreement.

And just after he left Heifesituosi Shen Zu Zhu Di, a black-robed figure intercepted him on his way back to the Familia.

"Hestia Familia's Regiment Commander, first meeting; I am Fels, and I have a commission I'd like to entrust to you."

"Hm?"
