Chapter 783

"Mr. Bell, are you really going to hit me?"

"Miss Chunji, I came here to accomplish this matter for Broly-san."

"Then I'll hit————"

Bell closed his eyes, and just as he braced himself to take a beating, the fist landing on him was light and soft, like cotton.

"Miss Chunji, please don't hold back on my account, use some strength to hit me."

The fox girl threw another punch, but Bell still felt no pain.

He opened his eyes, looking at Sanjouno Chunji with some puzzlement.

"I already used a lot of force."

The fox girl's face flushed red, the color of someone straining with all their might.

Bell: "..

Broly-san, your new Encounter Target is too frail, you know that?

"Bang~"

The wooden door was smashed to pieces, the white-haired youth like a cannonball; after shattering the door, he smashed the corridor's fence outside and fell to the first-floor ground. The customers come to enjoy the wonderful night and the prostitutes beside them were all startled by this sudden turn of events.

"Y-You damn bastard, since you want to play S&M with m-me, I'll let you know my power————"

Chunji walked to the broken edge of the shattered fence, and with a somewhat weak tone spoke somewhat tough lines, giving a very subtle sense of contrast.

"The customer is god, is this how you satisfy Lord God's demands? Ah, my arm hurts so much, my bones are broken————"

The blood-covered boy climbed up from the ground and proceeded to put on an exaggerated performance in full public view.

"What happened?"

The Ishtar Familia members responsible for watching the venue heard the commotion and ran over to check the situation.

"Heard a customer wanted to play some excessive games, and was beaten out by someone on our side who didn't want to play."

Aisha explained from the side.

And watching the white-haired boy's performance below, she only felt his lines were somewhat exaggerated and unqualified, but his injured posture was simply like the real thing.

"Hey, you trying to cause trouble here?"

According to the arrangement, it was her turn to cooperate; Aisha jumped down directly and began questioning the boy.

"Your Ishtar Familia bullies people too much, doing business with open doors, yet instead beating up this customer who came to patronize you.

I am Bell Cranel of the Hestia Familia, this matter absolutely won't end here, I'll have my big brother come make it right for me!"

Seeing someone come over to play along, Bell loudly spoke the lines he had to say tonight.

After finishing, not caring what Aisha's reaction was, he turned and ran.

"Bell Cranel of the Hestia Familia, I know him, he's Orario's fastest-leveling Adventurer right now, nickname 'Team Light'!"

"Who's the big brother he speaks of?"

"Don't you know, that's the fierce Regiment Commander who single-handedly beat the entire Apollo Familia in the War Game a few days ago, Mr. 'False Newbie'!"

Mixed in the crowd, Hermes Familia's member began acting as a commentary bystander, explaining the white-haired youth's background and the identity of the big brother he spoke of to the surrounding customers who were still somewhat dazed.

And mentioning the recent topic figure False Newbie, the surrounding discussions gradually grew louder.

Pushed by interested parties, the news that Ishtar Familia's prostitute beat up Hestia Familia's Team Light boy spread without legs.

And this beaten Team Light boy, some time ago because he was beaten by Apollo Familia's people, caused that False Newbie Regiment Commander to step out and in the War Game instantly solve the entire Apollo Familia matter.

In just one night, various rumors flew rapidly, a posture of coming storm.

And such a Regiment Commander who stands up for his own Familia members, would he swallow his anger?

Therefore, everyone who heard this news reached a consensus, that is————

Orario, there's another good show to watch!

The next day, after the situation had fermented enough, Broly brought Bell, wrapped in bandages, to seek them out.

He directly challenged at the entrance of Ishtar Familia's headquarters, demanding Ishtar Familia give an explanation for beating his little brother.

Ishtar, drawn out by the clamor below, seeing this scene, was somewhat amused to anger: "Your Familia's Team Light boy is a Lv. 2 Adventurer, saying my Lv. 1 fox girl beat him severely injured, who would believe such words?"

"Then Ishtar, you mean my Bell himself crashed out of the room, smashed the railing, and fell hard on the ground, all his injuries self-inflicted, just to groundlessly extort your Ishtar Familia?"

Although this is the truth, naked framing, but actively saying it out makes uninformed bystanders feel this side is more justified.

Ishtar also felt this matter was strange, and last night after hearing of the disturbance, she had Chunji brought over to question; the fox girl said the other party suddenly did these things himself.

Bell wanted to play S&M with Chunji — meeting and letting her hit him, does that count as S&M?

Chunji moved, but because the force was too light, Bell could only self-direct and self-act a drama of himself getting beaten.

And Chunji before Ishtar, telling the truth that the boy himself rushed out and injured himself, was completely unproblematic.

Mortals find it hard to lie before gods, but if every sentence is truth, even a Lord God finds it hard to judge the real situation.

Ishtar couldn't figure out what was really going on, but she didn't want to figure it out, directly asking: "Hestia, then what explanation do you want us to give?"

"Simple, I want your Ishtar Familia to hand over that fox girl who hit him, hand her over to our Hestia Familia to deal with!"

Hestia revealed her true intent.

The events happening right now at the entrance of Ishtar Familia's residence in Pleasure Street, were just like those at that time, that moment, at the Apollo Familia banquet.

And because only eight days had passed, the surrounding gods come to watch the excitement were in a trance, as if they were not now in Pleasure Street, but had traced back time, returned to when they attended the Apollo Familia banquet.

Ishtar narrowed her eyes; she didn't know if the other side demanding her side hand over Chunji was because they knew Chunji's secret, or if that bitch Freya's shadow was behind it, but one thing was certain: she would not hand over the trump card against Freya Familia.

"Then if we don't plan to hand anyone over?"

"If so, then I can only, for the sake of my severely injured child, declare a War Game against your Ishtar Familia!

If we win, you need to hand over the culprit who hit my Bell; if we lose, then this matter counts as nothing happened."

Hearing Hestia's words, Ishtar originally wanted to refuse, but thought of the intelligence Hermes brought last night, seeing the Saiyan youth standing beside Hestia.

She made up her mind and said, "Wanting to conduct a War Game with us is no problem, but Hestia, I want you to also be like Apollo and wager a stake corresponding to our side."

"What do you want?"

"If my side loses, we have to hand over a child; since that's the case, if your side loses, you also have to hand over a child to me."

"You want Bell?"

"No, I want your familia's captain. If you lose, you have to hand him over to me."

Ishtar raised her hand and pointed at Broly.

"That's unfair."

"I can also wager my familia's captain."

Ishtar pointed again at Furini beside her.

"I don't want a weird-looking toad monster."

Hestia immediately showed a disdainful expression.

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, Furini's face darkened.

"How about this: you let me freely pick one additional person from your familia?"

Hestia instead proposed this, her target obviously being the turncoat Aisha.

Facing this proposal, Ishtar merely hesitated slightly, and after confirming that Hestia intended to use the same method she used against the Apollo Familia to deal with her, she agreed.

Although Broly's battle against the Apollo Familia displayed very strong strength, Ishtar felt her own familia was not something the Apollo Familia could compare to.

Moreover, she still held the trump card Haruhime in her hand; the fox girl's Uchide no Kozuchi Magic could directly strengthen an existence into a temporary one-level level increase; used on Furini, it would produce a Lv. 6 Adventurer.

Plus, she still had another trump card————

Win the War Game against the Hestia Familia, seize the boy Freya has her eyes on to her own side, then play with that boy in front of Freya, humiliate her old rival————

Hmm, this temptation was simply too great for Ishtar; she fundamentally could not refuse.

Time passed quickly, arriving at the third day Broly met Haruhime.

The War Game began again; Orario's gamblers believed the chance for a turnaround had arrived.

"This time, I'm still betting on the Hestia Familia's defeat!"

"No way, brother, you're still betting on the Hestia Familia to lose?"

"If it were against other C-rank or B-rank familia, I'd definitely bet on the Hestia Familia to win, but the problem is, their opponent is the Ishtar Familia.

That is, aside from the Loki Familia and Freya Familia, Orario's strongest first-rate A-rank familia; I'll eat my hat if they can win!"

Indeed, due to the leap in the opponent they were facing, after this new War Game's betting opened again, the majority of gamblers still believed the Hestia Familia was more likely to lose than win, and bet on Broly's side losing.

Of course, those confident in Broly still went all-in on the Hestia Familia winning.

And this time, Ryu, who hadn't gone to the Dungeon to farm, also caught this betting opportunity.

To let herself win more money, Ryu came to the Hostess of Fertility and asked her former colleagues to borrow money.

Anya and the others at the Hostess of Fertility were all generous, and the one who lent the most was Syr.

This made Ryu feel guilt when facing this good friend, because she should have been guarding the Saiyan boy for Syr.

And the reason this War Game started was because the other party wanted to encounter a new girl.

【Sorry, Syr, I'll definitely help you properly win the person you like afterwards, but this time the opponent is to save a girl about to be sacrificed as a scapegoat————

The justice-filled Ryu had no objections whatsoever to Broly's extortion/scam plan to save the fox girl.

She believed this was the right thing to do, and also that Broly's side didn't need her help; otherwise, she might have actively gone to help.

000

"You like Ais Wallenstein, right?"

On the other side, in the house Bell rented, the flower shop clerk Anna came to see him, but was fiercely poking the boy's bandaged arm with her finger.

"Ah, ow, Anna-san, this is the plan's requirement, I don't actually want to have unrequited love with someone else————"

Although he had explained to his girlfriend beforehand, the actual impact of executing the plan was worse than imagined.

With the War Game about to start, the reputation of Bell, this Team Light, had already taken a hit; Orario's people were now all spreading that he failed in his unrequited love and got beaten up by a prostitute, a weakling.

It can be said, in this extortion/scam plan to save the fox girl, the Team Light Bell had already paid too much and borne too much.

"If you like this kind of thing, Bell, then I'm not unwilling to play this with you————"

Of course, the harvest wasn't small either; the flower shop clerk Anna sitting by the bed said with a red face in a low voice to him on the bed.

Hearing this, the pure-hearted boy Bell's face turned red like a thermometer.

The girl saw this, reached out her hand, Bell's body trembled, and just as the two people in the room were about to do unspeakable things, the voice of the Ganesha Familia commentator announcing the War Game's start came from outside.

This let the pure boy and girl timely put a stop to the heating atmosphere in the room.

Bell averted his gaze, not daring to look at his girlfriend at all, and changed the subject: "Anna-san, let's just watch Broly-san's performance in the War Game first?"

"Mhm, okay————"

The mountain-blow-colored-hair human girl red-faced, didn't refuse, just her heart thumping rapidly.

000.

The location for this War Game was not on the plains outside Orario, but in the Pleasure Street during daytime, as Ishtar demanded.

Broly's victory condition was to breach the Ishtar Familia's headquarters base within the allotted time.

And the Ishtar Familia's victory condition only needed to stall for time without their headquarters base being breached, or defeat Broly this enemy before that.

After the Ganesha Familia commentator presiding over the War Game announced its start, an iron tin can rushed out from the Pleasure Street side.

"The Ishtar Familia didn't choose to hold their ground, but directly dispatched their king... wait, Furini their captain; is this wanting to decide this War Game's victory through a one-on-one duel between the top combat powers of both familia, the captains?"

The Ganesha Familia commentator spoke passionately, but the actual situation was not so; Ishtar had merely told her familia the rules of spoils before the War Game started: whoever settles Broly gets priority usage rights.

"I permit you to fiercely use him in the War Game's live broadcast after defeating him, displaying your charm as women!"

Nothing else could humiliate that bitch of a Goddess more than letting her own Familia violate the child Freya has taken a liking to, right in public.

"Broly, I heard your relationship with the Sword Princess is pretty good?"

"It is pretty good."

"Then that's perfect, I'm going to beat you down!"

Furini, clad in Smasher Magic, rushed out, licking her lips beneath her helmet.

"Big Sis Furini, for the sake of us knowing each other, I advise you to surrender directly."

"Make me surrender? You really know how to tell a joke————"

The iron-skinned big can let out a strange, clattering laugh.

"In a bit I'll make you drop your weapon and surrender, let the Sword Princess witness with her own eyes the scene of her boy being drained dry by me, let that bastard Sword Princess personally feel what so-called pain is!"

The defeat at Port Melen once again made Furini feel humiliation, but she understood even more clearly that she was no longer a match for the Sword Princess.

But if she could defeat the Broly before her, turn the one rumored to have a close relationship with the Sword Princess into a plaything, that would also be a decent means of revenge.

"Pain, you mean you want to make Ais, my Encounter Target, feel pain?"

Furini, charging straight ahead like a wild boar, did not detect the Saiyan boy's expression gradually turning cold because of her words.

"Good, since it's like this, I should give you some special treatment!"

Broly went to meet the charging big can.

On the live broadcast Divine Power Screen, everyone only saw him lightly tap his foot, sidestep, and dodge the battle-axe attack in the big can's hand.

And after dodging the attack, he walked straight toward the entrance of Pleasure Street, the can behind him freezing like it was dead, pausing all movement.
