Chapter 790

In the Dungeon's 18th floor Labyrinth, Broly and the others, who had rushed for a day, chose to temporarily station themselves on this Safe Floor, and also brought along was the Little Dragon Girl encountered on the 19th floor Labyrinth.

Due to the little one's monster identity, to avoid unnecessary conflict, Broly did not choose to lodge in Rivira Town built by Adventurers, but instead chose to camp near the forest river close to Rivira Town.

Once the tents were pitched and the campfire built, with an iron pot set up over it cooking Iron Pot Stewed Noodles, everyone finally had the leisure to look at the Little Dragon Girl who had been following behind Broly, draped in a cloak to conceal her identity, and who had remained silent until now.

"Following us here, she already knows not to attack people randomly, but can this little one actually communicate?"

Chun asked, the others nodding with the same doubt; under everyone's gaze, the timid little one shrank behind the youth again.

"Don't be afraid, Chun and them won't hurt you."

Broly put his arm around the little one's waist and pulled her from behind to his front; the flickering firelight illuminated the Little Dragon Girl's cute face, making the Red Magic Stone on her forehead seem to shine brilliantly. After going from panic, to subconscious struggle, to discovering everyone was just looking at her curiously with no move to attack, she gradually settled in Broly's arms.

"I'm Broly, they're Chun, Ais————"

Broly introduced himself, then introduced Chun, Ais, and the others by the campfire one by one, then looked at the little one.

"What's your name?"

Although the Crystal Palace Panel had the little one's name, to confirm whether the other party could speak, Broly still asked her this way.

"What————name?"

The Little Dragon Girl looked back at him, then subconsciously repeated Broly's words.

"She can actually speak!"

Hearing the Dragon Girl speak, everyone was somewhat surprised.

"Can speak?"

The little one repeated again, like a little repeater, but unlike a repeater, this little one was very smart.

After Broly pointed at himself, said his name, then pointed at the others and introduced their names again, the little one remembered them.

When Broly pointed at different people again, she could accurately and fluently call out each pointed person's name, as if realizing these names referred to different individuals.

"Good, you know our names, then what's your name?"

Broly pointed at the little one and asked.

"My name————Dragon Girl?"

The little one subconsciously answered, and this was because before, she had heard someone address her this way, and remembered it.

"Dragon Girl is the monster species name; a name is the appellation referring to a single individual."

Liliruca helped popularize science on the side, but the Little Dragon Girl just looked at her blankly.

Yet she exuded a sense of pure whiteness untouched by knowledge, as if her brain were smooth and unwrinkled.

"You are Vini."

Broly pointed at her and said.

"Vini?!"

As the Dragon Girl pointed at her own nose and repeated it, Tiona asked curiously: "Broly, are you giving this Little Dragon Girl a name?"

"It's not me giving it; she's just called this name."

"?!"

Meeting everyone's doubtful gazes, Broly explained the matter of his destined Encounter Targets having their identities directly prompted on the Crystal Palace Panel.

"So you mean this Little Dragon Girl is also an Encounter Target you're destined to meet?"

The Amazon girl's mouth gaped wide, completely unexpected that this Little Dragon Girl beside Broly was actually a higher-tier existence than her, a character on the same level as Ais and Lefiya.

"So the Dragon Knight in Miss Cassandra's prophetic dream, the 'Knight' was literally a verb?"

Liliruca started complaining, and her gaze subconsciously glanced at the Little Dragon Girl's body concealed by the gray cloak; she hadn't expected there would be a 'mounting' step before, so she hadn't looked properly, only remembering the underside was smooth and slick, but hadn't seen clearly if there was an insertion port for mounting.

"Ah, then Broly-san, doesn't that make you a heavy-taste monster lover?"

Lefiya couldn't help but exclaim; monster girls might be accepted in other worlds, but in this world they absolutely suffer public rejection and contempt.

Only because this world once had a history of being ravaged by monsters; if the public had to choose between accepting 【Humans and Monsters】 and 【Humans and Giant Lizards】, most would probably choose the latter.

"My destined Encounter Targets have never distinguished by race, and the Axis Cult doctrine I believe in: as long as it's true love, and the target is not a Hell Demon, then even if the target is a monster beast, even if the target is an undead zombie, they can still receive the corresponding Blessing."

At these words, the girls were shocked.

"Ah, Broly-san, what cult do you believe in, for its doctrine to be so heaven-defying?"

Liliruca's words drew agreement from the others.

"It's not a cult, but a very orthodox Sect, the kind with a Goddess existing, and she even used to take care of me————"

Speaking here, Broly paused, then corrected: "Uh, it's me who took care of the Master."

What others thought, Filvis didn't know.

"Then the Sect Broly-san believes in, does it also accept existences like Freaks?"

She asked, tone as calm as possible.

"You mean the two Freaks we encountered on the 24th floor before?"

"Mm."

"If they're willing to convert, the Axis Cult accepts them too."

Hearing this, Filvis's eyes brightened somewhat.

"So, Broly, you're going to bring this Little Dragon Girl back to the Familia?"

Ais asked.

"That depends on this little one's wish. Vini, are you willing to come with me?"

The Little Dragon Girl was first puzzled by the meaning, but after Broly took her hand and walked, using actual action to express the meaning of 【come with me】, the little one who understood the words immediately nodded her head, and also used both arms to hug the Saiyan youth's neck, using actual action to express her answer of wanting to follow.

"Ais, do you have something you want to say?"

Broly, hugged by the Little Dragon Girl, noticed the Sword Princess's hesitant look and looked at her to ask.

"She's a monster, will she bring danger to others, harm others' lives?"

Ais directly voiced her concerns.

"It doesn't look like it right now, but if you're uneasy, you can help keep an eye on her.

Of course, if anyone wants to do Vini harm, you'll also need to help protect her well.

How about it, Ais, do you want to take on the job of looking after her?"

Broly asked.

"Broly, you know I hate dragon monsters, right?"

Ais froze for a moment, then frowned and asked.

"Yeah, I know."

Broly didn't deny it.

"Then why are you still having me look after her? Aren't you afraid I'll do her harm?"

"Hmm, that is a problem, but————"

Broly turned his head and had Tiona help take out a folded gift ribbon from the Crystal Palace Space.

"Ais, this is the gift you gave me before."

Broly took the gift ribbon and held it out in front of the Sword Princess girl.

"You said holding this lets you demand me to do anything, and right now I want to use it, is that okay?"

"You want to use it to demand what thing from me?"

Ais looked at the gift ribbon the boy held out, but asked.

"I want to ask you to help look after Vini."

"What if she harms someone?"

"Then do as you see fit."

"Including killing her?"

"Uh, still, try not to harm her if possible, and with your strength, it should be easily done, right?"

Ais fell silent for a while, then nodded.

"Fine, I'll do as you ask."

The Sword Princess girl took the gift ribbon from the Saiyan boy's hand, and her Happiness Value inside the Crystal Palace quietly decreased by three points.

Seeing this, Broly stood up, carrying the Little Dragon Girl on his neck, and came before the Sword Princess girl.

With Ais's body somewhat stiff, he stuffed Vini into her arms.

Vini's face showed some panic; she raised her hands wanting to go back, but was stopped by him.

"Vini, Ais will be responsible for looking after you; for a period of time after this you'll follow her."

After continuously pressing the Little Dragon Girl's head, pressing her back into the Sword Princess girl's arms again, the little one seemed to have understood his meaning as well.

She looked somewhat uneasily at Ais with her frosty face, instinctively sensing a vague danger from this Sword Princess girl.

"Alright, Ais, since you're responsible for looking after Vini, then now begins the first step of looking after her: feed her food."

The Iron Pot Stewed Noodles were about done by this time; Broly dished a bowl for the Sword Princess girl, then signaled her to adapt to the job of looking after the dragon girl.

Taking the bowl, Ais's movements were somewhat stiff; she held the fork, forked up the stewed noodles, and held them out before the little one's mouth in her arms.

The dragon girl Vini was originally somewhat uneasy, but upon seeing the food held out before her, smelling the fragrance wafting from it, her unease was replaced by gluttony.

She first extended her small tongue, licked the stewed noodles on the fork, and after confirming this wasn't anything dangerous, opened her mouth wanting to directly bite down.

Seeing this, Ais was startled, subconsciously pulling away the fork with the noodles; the little dragon girl bit empty air, looked up and regarded her with some puzzlement.

And the Sword Princess girl, only then stiffly explained one sentence: "Only the noodles and meat can be eaten; the fork cannot————"

To make the dragon monster in her arms understand, Ais also demonstrated one time the correct method of eating noodles from the fork.

Vini watched her, then learned to hold it in her mouth rather than bite hard on the fork, and slurped down the noodles on the fork.

"Ais, Vini did well, don't forget to praise her."

Broly reminded from the side.

"Vini, you did well————"

The Sword Princess girl's voice was somewhat stiff, but she still praised the dragon girl in her arms once.

And the feeling of feeding the dragon girl was just like feeding a baby.

Only, this dragon girl baby Vini learned very fast.

Just being taught once by the girl, she quickly learned how to correctly eat noodles and meat from the fork.

Delicious food was continuously fed over; Vini quickly relaxed her vigilance in the Sword Princess girl's arms.

Ais praised her from time to time, but also gradually relaxed in the process of feeding the dragon girl in her arms.

By the time she finished eating the dinner stewed noodles and wiped her mouth, her movements were no longer stiff.

"Having received someone's help, Vini, you must say thank you to the person who helped you."

Broly at the side, like teaching a child, was teaching Vini.

"Tha————nk————you————"

Vini, after understanding, tried to say thanks to the Sword Princess girl.

"Add the name too, say thank you."

Broly continued.

"Ais, thank you!"

This time, Vini, knowing what the boy wanted her to do, loudly said the words of thanks to the Sword Princess before her.

Gazing at the monster girl little dragon girl seriously thanking her, the Sword Princess girl's mood was very complex, and at the side Broly spoke up again to remind her when she fell silent: "Ais, don't forget to respond; with a little one like Vini, we have to respond more to let her understand the meaning of our words."

"N-no need for thanks."

Ais responded as told, but the feeling she gave Broly was that she, too, belonged to the kind of little brat who hasn't grown up yet and needs to be guided in doing things.

"Miss Ais, are you asleep?"

At night, Lefiya, who couldn't quite sleep, came to the outside of the Sword Princess girl's tent and asked in a small voice.

"Not yet."

From inside the tent came the Sword Princess girl's replying voice.

"Good grief, Mr. Broly actually forced you to take care of a dragon girl."

Lefiya felt a bit indignant on her behalf.

She thought the girl couldn't sleep because she was currently staying in a tent with a monster girl.

"Miss Ais, are you alright? Do you need me to help keep watch?"

The elf girl proposed.

"Thank you, Lefiya."

Ais thanked her, then refused her kind intention.

"However, I'm fine, no need for you to help keep watch."

Outside quieted down, while Ais looked at the little dragon girl sleeping soundly with her head pillowed on her own lap, in a completely defenseless pose, drooling from the corner of her mouth, and who knew what she was thinking in her heart.

The next day, the crystal above the 18th floor of the Labyrinth lit up.

Broly, waking up, discovered that the Sword Princess girl's Happiness Value that had dropped last night.

After passing a night, had actually recovered.

"This is brushing teeth."

"Brushing teeth?"

"Toothpaste cannot be eaten."

Ais grabbed the little dragon girl's face with one hand, stopping her action of wanting to eat the toothpaste.

"Mouthwash also cannot be swallowed into the stomach, it must be spat out."

While gurgling and rinsing, Ais again stopped the little dragon girl's behavior of wanting to swallow the mouthwash.

After a night of getting along, in the morning when Ais took care of Vini again, she was no longer stiff in her movements, needing Broly to remind her from time to time.

And every time Vini did something right, Ais would praise her with a sentence, even adding the action of patting the little brat's head.

When finishing breakfast and packing up, Vini was already able to help disassemble the tent.

When the Sword Princess girl used her hand to pat her head, the little dragon girl even actively rubbed affectionately against the other's palm.

If not for the few dragon scales existing on her face, one would think she was a Golden Retriever dog.

"Broly, what are you looking at?"

Tiona saw the Saiyan boy beside her raise his head to look at the situation above, and couldn't help but curiously ask a sentence.

"I feel like there's a gaze watching this side."

Broly spoke the truth.

"But I don't see anything above, except not far away, there's a stone dragon that slipped in from some floor into the

18th floor Labyrinth."

Broly thought for a bit, then jumped in place.

And his jumping height was exaggerated, directly flying up to the 18th floor Labyrinth's ceiling, the rhombus crystal layer providing light similar to sunlight.

With a creak, Broly's hand directly inserted into the white crystal, and in an inverted hanging pose, began to patrol the surrounding airspace, and the surroundings of his own Familia's camp.

However, after patrolling a circle, he didn't discover anything strange.

He just let go, landing again.

"Maybe it was just my illusion."

Broly said this, and didn't discover that the stone dragon not far above had, just now, shown some changes in its flight trajectory.

"That guy's strength is absolutely not good————"

When Broly jumped up to the 18th floor Labyrinth ceiling, the stone dragon race Gulos's heart almost skipped a beat.

What Familia's Adventurer can jump this high, and an Adventurer who can jump this high, just how much are the opponent's capability values?

Although this time in the deep floors, Broly acted as a nanny to escort and protect his own Encounter Target and his own Familia companions, the monsters that slipped over from the Death Colosseum to his side provided him with Excelia that also brought his capability values to 21s numbers.

Hmm, although every S makes the Excelia Broly needs for each point of current S capability value increase by the current S multiplier, the increased number of Broly's Encounter Targets, and the Excelia bonus provided by his Wing Skill, nicely offset this Excelia increase situation.

This caused his capability value growth speed to not only not decrease, but instead become faster.
