Chapter 750: Riveria, Why Don't You Go Be Ais's Companion From Now On

"Gods who descend to the Lower World are basically all seeking things to amuse themselves (entertainment), so if the welcoming ceremony on this side is made a bit more grand, letting the gods who come here in a fit of generosity have a better experience, then as long as those gods have enough ample funds on hand, they will never refuse to pay for this kind of thing that can provide them with emotional value in the future……"

At noon, Hestia, holding a bowl of lavish tempura rice bowl, listened to the Poor God beside her, also a god, share the method by which the orphanage here continuously obtains donations from benevolent gods.

Things like sending a thank-you letter every holiday, or giving some handmade crafts made by the orphanage children themselves as gifts.

Without needing to pay out anything too valuable, yet able to obtain quite a harvest subsidizing the orphanage from those wealthy gods who gained emotional value.

"Ah, I thought so many children this morning were truly welcoming me so warmly, turns out it was all a routine!?"

Although not to the extent of 'The Lower World's routines are deep, I want to return to Heaven,' the actual situation still left Hestia somewhat powerless to retort.

"The morning welcome was fake, but next time they come, their welcome will absolutely be genuine."

Penia pointed at the orphanage children eating happily because of the lavish meal; she was very certain that the next time Hestia came, the children's welcome for her here would absolutely be from the heart, and doubled.

"Originally, I wanted to let these children who have nothing use this method to make other gods poor for me too, but unfortunately, up until now, not a single god has become destitute because of donations; instead, it let the children here go from having nothing to having some bestowed wealth……"

The god in the form of an old woman spoke these words with some regret, seemingly vexed that her evil plan of equalizing poverty implemented for many years had still not succeeded to this day.

"However, also benefiting from this, when someone comes to donate, this old hag can also mix in some decent meals here, even fine wine……"

The Poor God's gaze froze for a moment on the White Shrine Maiden wearing an apron, adding rice one by one for the queuing children, but quickly shifted away, looking elsewhere.

The smile appearing on her wrinkled old face, one didn't know if it was because she ate delicious food at noon today, or because she saw the children filling the courtyard with smiles of joy on their small faces due to the delicious food.

"Although not every meal has meat, and more often they eat coarse tea and plain rice, they don't go hungry, and can wear patched clothes and not freeze, cared for by the Administrator here; objectively speaking, the kids here live better than I did in my childhood……"

Liliruca mixed among the children eating, somewhat lamenting that her past days in the Soma Familia were actually not even as good as the children in the orphanage on Daedalus Street.

"Eh, Miss Lili, was your past really that bad?"

Lefiya asked somewhat curiously.

"Of course, treated as free labor to be exploited, clearly accompanying them on adventures into the Dungeon as a Supporter, yet only able to get some leftovers others finished eating……"

Liliruca complained.

"Uh……"

Lefiya just prepared to offer a couple words of comfort.

"Fortunately, I met Broly-san, all that is in the past now!"

Just heard the Pallum girl say this.

【A person who changed her own life's tragedy, huh? If I were Miss Lili, I would probably also give my heart to a hero like Mr. Broly who suddenly appeared in her life and saved her life~】

Watching Liliruca's head lean against Broly's shoulder beside her, looking intimate and seemingly even with affection, Lefiya couldn't help but think.

She put herself in the Pallum girl's perspective, feeling that Mr. Broly to her was probably just like Miss Ais to herself, even though her own life wasn't too similar to the other party's tragic past life.

"Hmm……"

Ryuu frowned her slender brows opposite, only feeling that her friend's rivals might not only be the Sword Princess girls of the Loki Familia.

There was also this Pallum girl who, rumor had it, was helped a lot by the Saiyan boy, and at a glance had given her heart to the Saiyan boy, the current Soma Familia Captain.

The lunch time ended quickly; Ais didn't speak much during this process, clearly still upset over the morning's matter.

Until Broly and the others prepared to leave the orphanage, the Poor God Penia then walked over unhurriedly, striking up a conversation with the Sword Princess girl.

"Little girl of the Loki Home."

"Lord Penia, do you have business?"

Ais's tone was somewhat stiff; as the saying goes, 'if words don't match, even half a sentence is too much,' she felt she and the god before her fundamentally couldn't get along.

"Don't be so obviously cold to me, hmm, I just came to tell you, you have a pretty good partner."

"Hmm?"

Meeting the Sword Princess girl's doubtful gaze, the Poor God Penia pointed over there at Broly, who was saying goodbye to the orphanage children leaning close, and spoke of the Saiyan boy coming to find her this morning, persuading her.

"Well, I've already had my opinion changed, so you with a different opinion make me happy, okay? This old hag doesn't want to be treated as a reneging rogue god by that child who likes you."

Penia finished speaking, not waiting for Ais to react, saying 【Going back to take a nap】 and turning to leave this place.

"Broly……"

The dark clouds of gloom on Ais's face had completely dispersed, her gaze gentle as she looked at the Saiyan boy over there.

Also precisely at this moment, Broly, who received the girl's Happiness Value increase, also raised his eyes to look over.

The two's gazes met in the air; Broly waved at the Sword Princess girl, signaling to leave.

"Miss Ais, feeling much better?"

On the way back, Broly asked the Sword Princess girl beside him.

"Mm, much better, thanks."

Ais wore a faint smile on her face that was almost imperceptible, and answered the boy.

"This afternoon, can you accompany me to cultivate Qi together?"

After walking a distance, Ais asked again.

"Of course."

Broly nodded, agreeing directly.

"Then, please add me too."

Ryuu arrived in the middle at some unknown time, just splitting the two whose atmosphere was somewhat good for some reason from the middle.

"Add me too."

Tiona is one who likes to join in the fun; hearing it was about cultivating Qi, she also leaned over.

"Eh, what are they talking about?"

Filvis turned her head back somewhat curiously, seemingly interested in Qi.

"That is a special energy usage method Mr. Broly passed on to us; heard that after proficiently mastering its use, it can raise our actual combat ability."

Seeing her interested, Lefiya explained from the side.

"Eh, raise actual combat ability?"

Filvis was somewhat surprised, thought for a moment, then asked.

"Then can I learn it?"

"Ah, this..." Lefiya opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, then continued, "This still depends on what Broly-san means, but the way of learning Qi might be a bit strict."

Mainly because the matter of touching the body is a relatively strict condition for elves.

Lefiya herself was also because she wanted to keep up with Lady Ais's pace, and at the same time didn't really dislike Broly-san.

Okay, mainly because she imagined the Saiyan boy as a little Lady Ais, so she was able to smoothly accept the stimulation of Qi.

【Lord Dionysus had me investigate intelligence...】

Thinking thus, Filvis slowed her steps, and when Broly walked up, she directly politely asked the Saiyan boy: "Broly-san, I heard from Lefiya that you know a special energy usage that can increase actual combat strength, wondering if I could also learn from you?"

She paused, then added: "Of course, not for free, I can pay to consult you."

"Uh, sure, it's doable."

Broly, whose afternoon had already been booked by the three people to cultivate Qi together, didn't expect the White Shrine Maiden to also be interested in his Qi, so he didn't stingily refuse.

"However, Miss Filvis, you're an elf, right?"

"Mm."

"Elves have the custom of not being touched by others at will, right?"

"Uh, that's how it is."

"Then can you be touched by me?"

Filvis: "Eh?!"

"Don't misunderstand, I don't mean to take advantage of you, but you need to first be able to perceive the Qi inside your own body before I can teach you how to use Qi."

Broly explained while condensing Qi at his fingertip, demonstrating it for the White Shrine Maiden to observe.

"Of course, if you can directly perceive that there is energy like this inside your own body, then you can directly consult with me."

Filvis stared at Broly's fingertip for a while, she could detect that there was some strange energy on the other party's fingertip, but didn't know what exactly it was, let alone discover such energy inside her own body.

"Then if I can't perceive it?"

"Then I'll need to help you perceive it, by way of some contact with your body, transmitting my own Qi into your body, thereby guiding and stimulating your Qi, and this requires touching various parts of your body."

Filvis: "..."

Hearing it was this kind of prerequisite condition, she directly shook her head indicating she had disturbed them.

"It's fine, no disturbance, mm, if later my Qi increases, I can remotely stimulate your Qi, at that time, I'll find you again."

Broly was referring to the situation after unlocking the Super Weighted Training Skill.

"Okay, then thank you."

The White Shrine Maiden nodded expressing thanks.

"Mm, can I go watch your cultivation?"

She thought for a moment, then asked again.

"This, as long as Ais and them have no objections, then there's no problem."

Cultivating Qi would definitely also involve actual combat, and actual combat training would expose many technique aspects, Broly didn't care whether he exposed himself or not, but for Ais and them, he couldn't make this decision for the girls.

"I have no objection."

"Neither do I."

The three people quickly reached a unified opinion, not minding Filvis observing.

"Ah, I also want to follow Broly-san to cultivate Qi..."

"But Lili, you still have Familia matters to handle in the afternoon, don't you?"

The Soma Familia residence is also on this side of South Avenue, and in the morning the Pallum girl made time to go to the orphanage side.

"Ah, I know this, since I'm now the Regiment Commander of the Soma Familia, I can't be a Slacking Shopkeeper..."

Liliruca replied, but her small face was still somewhat unhappy.

"How about this, after returning in the evening, I'll help you cultivate Qi again."

Broly thought for a moment, then said.

"Eh, then good, it's settled like that."

Liliruca instantly thought of last night's situation, her small face directly flushed slightly, the unhappiness on her face swept away.

Although Lady Ais and them can cultivate with Broly-san in the afternoon, they can only do that kind of proper cultivation outside.

However, I can in the evening be helped by Broly-san to cultivate in a more intimate, hands-on teaching way.

Thinking like this, Liliruca only felt she had won big, happily returning to the Soma Familia residence that was now forced to be loyal to her because of the Alcohol Addiction Medicine.

"Bell, do you want to also learn Qi from me..."

After Liliruca left the party, Broly asked the white-haired boy.

"Ah, of course, Broly-san, this is my honor."

Bell was very excited, but immediately looked at the human girl beside him, seeming somewhat conflicted.

"Go to the residence in the evening, I'll teach you then."

Broly didn't wait for him to speak, directly deciding the boy's learning schedule for him.

"We're going to the Loki Familia side, if you have business don't follow."

Bell, left behind, gazed at the boy's departing figure, his heart moved.

"Miss Anna, then we..."

Hestia left the party in front of the Fried Potato Ball Shop on North Main Street, saying she had to go work, while Broly and them went to the Loki Familia residence.

With three Loki Familia girls' face-pass, they entered very smoothly.

"Eh, how come you're back again?"

Seeing Ais and the other two return, Riveria couldn't help but ask with some surprise.

"Our Familia residence is undergoing expansion, so it's not too suitable for training; we can only come over to this side and continue borrowing the training grounds."

Broly gave an explanation.

"Ah, so that's how it is. I thought..."

Riveria didn't continue speaking, merely subconsciously directing her gaze toward the three girls' legs.

Her eyes seemed to add: No wonder their walking postures haven't shown any change.

"Eh, Ais, you've got gains again, but Tiona, how come you have gains too?"

Upon seeing Ais and Lefiya use the Qi techniques Broly had used when gold farming in the Dungeon, Riveria wasn't surprised, but upon seeing Tiona also use such techniques, she was a bit surprised; it was only because there was another White Shrine Maiden nearby that it wasn't too good to ask too directly.

However, Tiona still understood what Riveria was asking, and directly explained: "This is Qi, something Broly said everyone has on their body, and it doesn't restrict anyone from learning; as long as he properly touches you, no matter who, they can quickly perceive the existence of Qi."

"Ah, I knew Broly was a treasure boy; send people to dig a bit, and immediately there's new harvest. Ugh, so envious of that guy Hestia, how did she luck into such a kid..."

Evening, street punk Loki returned to the Familia residence, and upon learning Tiona had grasped a new ability, directly expressed envious remarks about a certain Giant Breasts Loli Goddess.

"Loki, you were still complaining yesterday that I sent Ais and the others to stay at Hearth Manor temporarily."

"Haha, even now I still want to complain. You should've left a room for that kid at our residence, instead of sending Ais and them over to Hearth Manor, thereby making me unable to dote on my cute kids."

"Hearth Manor has few people, able to create a better cohabitation atmosphere. As for our side, if you want to make kids in the residence you have to avoid people, which is not favorable for young people breaking through the bottleneck of becoming adults, conducting all-round physical and mental growth."

"Say, can you not discuss so seriously at this time what kind of environment is more suitable for letting young men and women grow, be together, and make children?"

Finn said, covering his forehead.

"What we should discuss now is whether to let that kid Broly touch us."

Gareth added from the side.

"Touch, of course we'll be touched."

Loki said without hesitation.

"Anyone can learn, a special technique that directly boosts battle power once mastered; not learning would be simply having bumps for brains."

"That's true. Then the current problem is whether that kid Broly is willing to teach more people the method of using Qi?"

"I feel there's no problem. That kid is quite generous toward people he has a good relationship with."

Riveria said.

And her words received nods of agreement from the other two people and one god in the room.

"However, the prerequisite for learning Qi requires him to personally touch the body. I feel whether to go learn Qi from that kid should still depend on personal subjective willingness."

"Mhm, after all, there are still quite a few elf girls in our Familia, and some females of other races already have partners."

"Then let's do this. Those who can accept being touched by that kid, record them down. Later, we'll take the name list to find Broly and ask his willingness."

Finn made the final decision.

"Mhm."

The Nine Magic Princesses and Heavy Jie nodded in agreement.

"Say, Riveria, are you also planning to let that kid touch you?"

Seeing the discussion finish, Loki asked curiously toward the Nine Magic Princesses.

"Mhm, I have that intention."

"But aren't you an elf?"

"Broly is just a child; being touched by a child is nothing."

"Mother-daughter rice bowl?"

The words left Loki's mouth, and her head took a fist smashed over by the Nine Magic Princesses.

"Ow~"

Loki, holding her head, sucked in cold air through her teeth.

"You this female hoodlum god, don't dare say just anything."

"Ah, you and Ais aren't biological mother and daughter, and besides, Riveria, you don't even have a marriage partner now.

Could it be you actually want to hang a nickname like 【Pure Widow】 on yourself for life?

If you ask me, you might as well go be Ais's dowry maid in the future..."

Loki shut her mouth, only because the big-sister-mode 99-year-old elf Riveria raised her fist again.
