Chapter 8: Recover Lost Territory, Force Must Be Used!
Now, the problem before Broly was how to obtain Happiness Points.
【There are two ways to obtain Happiness Points: the first is when your wife's unit is captured and she agrees to become an Official Member of Crystal Palace, exchanging her Happiness Value at a ratio of 1 to 100 for corresponding Happiness Points.
The second is after your wife becomes a Crystal Palace Member, continuing to interact with her to generate Happiness Value, but it will only be exchanged for corresponding Happiness Points at a ratio of 1 to 1.
Note: Happiness emotions have freshness and become bland with the passage of time, but Warmth will always exist; as long as there is still love, Happiness Points will continue to be produced.】
Broly understood only half of it, but he understood one thing: he had to make his wife happy to obtain Happiness Points that could be exchanged for food.
【But, how exactly can one make one's wife happy?】
Broly looked at the girl beside him, crying cutely, but because of his words she had temporarily stopped crying, looking at him with some confusion—Young Sakura.
【According to analysis of general intelligence information from D95 World collected by Crystal Palace, behavior that satisfies the target's needs can provide the individual known as wife with the motivation for Happiness Value to rise.】
【Satisfaction?】
Broly was stunned for a moment, then Crystal Palace gave a more intelligent interpretation in words he could understand.
【That is, when the Host's belly is hungry, the wife gives the Host food to eat, and therefore the Host feels satisfied—that kind of feeling is the happiness brought by satisfying needs.】
Broly understood, and he directly asked the crying girl: "Do you want to eat something?"
"Eh?!"
Young Sakura was dazed by his question—why was he suddenly asking her if she wanted to eat something for no reason?
"No, I'm not hungry."
But she still honestly answered Broly's question.
"Eh?!"
Hearing this, Broly was somewhat stunned and asked Crystal Palace why his method wasn't working.
The Crystal Palace being questioned also crashed at this moment.
After a while, it still answered this question.
【Being hungry and given food, after eating one feels the happiness of being satisfied—that is the Host's personal condition for feeling happiness, and not a condition that belongs to others also being able to feel happiness.
Under different circumstances, different people will have different personal conditions for feeling satisfied happiness; please analyze the target's needs yourself, thereby achieving satisfying the other party's needs and increasing their Happiness Value.】
【What should I do?】
Broly pursued the question.
【Reminder: this Crystal Palace only provides the basic conditions for capturing a wife, and has no obligation to replace the Host in capturing a wife.
According to Article 38 of the System's Original Law, we will abide by the role of assisting as a Golden Finger, rather than replacing the Host to become a High-level Proxy.】
The words of Crystal Palace in his brain paused, then continued to sound.
【In other words, please be self-reliant, strive to satisfy your wife through yourself, thereby obtaining Happiness Points.】
Broly: "…"
"How should I satisfy you?"
He looked at Young Sakura and threw a straight ball, directly asking Young Sakura.
"Eh?!"
Young Sakura was very dazed—what exactly did this tailed young man want to satisfy her with? Was it her belly?
But she had eaten her fill at night, and she really wasn't hungry now! "How should I make you feel happy?"
Broly asked again; this time he approached Young Sakura, a pair of eyes carrying questioning meaning, at close range staring fixedly at Young Sakura.
"I…"
Young Sakura was made somewhat at a loss by being looked at, simply not knowing how to answer.
"By the way, you said you wanted to go home."
At this time, Broly suddenly remembered what the other party had just said.
"Tomorrow, I'll send you home, okay?"
Broly asked.
"Eh?!"
Young Sakura made a sound of surprise and doubt, then hesitantly said: "But my dad and mom don't want me anymore."
"You want to go home—what does that have to do with your dad and mom?"
Broly couldn't quite understand.
"But that's their home…"
Young Sakura weakly said a sentence.
"But it's also your home."
Broly lay down again, raised his small fist, and showed it to the girl beside him.
"You don't need to worry; if your dad and mom want to take away your home, then I'll use force to help you snatch it back, and then drive them out."
Broly's words had the flavor of a Saiyan; this was one of the Saiyan educations Paragus had instilled in him—that things one wants can be snatched by force.
"Ah, this…"
Snatch the home back, then drive her parents out—was this kind of operation allowed? No, no, no; should one say that the home from which parents are driven out still counts as a home? Young Sakura's brain was somewhat chaotic, but she felt Broly's good intentions.
"Thank you, but if possible, please don't drive my dad and mom out of the house."
Young Sakura actually didn't doubt whether Broly could drive her parents out of the house, and requested this.
"If you can be happy, I won't drive them away."
Broly seriously agreed.
"Thank you."
Young Sakura thanked once more, then gradually fell asleep on the pillow.
Broly also yawned; the warm quilt gave him a different experience, and he too gradually fell asleep.
The night passed without a word; only the sleeping girl's brow furrowed until she snuggled up against the boy's side, hugging Broly like a warm bolster, before she settled down again.
In the morning, Fujimura Taiga came to check on them; after lightly knocking and pushing the door open to enter the room, what she saw were the two little ones sleeping in an embrace, and beside them lay a futon blanket that hadn't been spread out.
【Two tiny ones, the way they're hugging each other in sleep, so cute!】
This was the most direct thought that arose in Fujimura Taiga's heart upon seeing the two little ones' sleeping appearance in the quilt; she didn't wake them, just crouched at the side watching their sleeping postures, and gradually began to harbor some fantasies about her own future.
Simply put, it was fantasizing about the future: marrying some unknown Prince Charming, then having two children with him.
One boy, one girl — whether siblings or brother and sister — getting to admire their sleeping faces like this every day, that should be a happy thing too.
Hmm, but here and now, one could also snap a photo of 【deceiving an ignorant girl into having children】 as a fraud picture.
【Fujimura Taiga's Happiness Value is continuously rising.】
Broly was woken by the Crystal Palace's notification chime; he opened his eyes and saw a girl crouching beside him with a beaming smile.
Then he felt something wrapped around him; lowering his head, he saw a small head nestled against his chest.
Young Sakura had used him as a bolster, more than half her body pressing on top of him; fortunately Broly's sleeping posture was good, otherwise a major accident would certainly have occurred last night.
【Holding a younger sister in one's arms kills, in my dreams I kill people……】
This strange message surfaced in Broly's mind; he gently pushed the girl sleeping on top of him.
"Mmm~"
Young Sakura woke in a daze, and upon seeing a boy's face before her.
"Ah!"
She cried out in alarm; only after she scrambled up and saw Fujimura Taiga beside her did she react and realize she was no longer at the Matou Family.
At this moment, she felt something fluffy rubbing against her calf; looking down, she discovered it was Broly's tail.
Broly was also somewhat startled by Young Sakura's reaction; his face showed no sign of being frightened, but his tail's swaying betrayed his mood, and he wasn't as calm as the surface suggested — one could say he was a bit uneasy.
"Sorry, I was pressing on you."
Young Sakura hurriedly apologized.
"It's fine, you're not heavy, your body is soft and warm, just like Ba's tail, except without the fluffy fur." "Who's Ba?"
"Ba is my friend; I like lying on its body to sleep, sometimes it covers me with its body."
Broly explained; Young Sakura seemed to half-understand, while Fujimura Taiga at the side indicated she didn't understand the children's encrypted exchange.
"Why are you here?"
Broly looked at Fujimura Taiga and asked.
"I came to call you for breakfast, but seeing you sleeping so soundly, I didn't disturb you."
Broly is usually quite alert when sleeping, but the ordinary people of this world are too weak; by Scouter reading, they probably don't even reach five Combat Strength.
For Saiyans whose Combat Strength is generally in the triple digits or above, this world's normal humans are almost no different from ants by the roadside.
"Eat?!"
Broly was surprised.
"We just ate yesterday, can we eat again today?"
He asked.
"Uh, if you don't eat, what will you do when you're hungry?"
Fujimura Taiga was also somewhat surprised.
"Without training, I won't feel hunger for two or three days."
Broly answered truthfully; he doesn't lead the kind of normal life with three meals a day.
For him, eating is irregular; when hungry he goes to hunt.
Not hungry, he either accepts his father Paragus's training, or plays with Ba.
Fujimura Taiga didn't know what to say; Broly's answer, in her understanding, was a wanderer's life of feast and famine.
"No wonder you ate so much last night, but don't worry, from now on you'll have food every day."
Fujimura Taiga felt a pang of pity for the boy and guaranteed it.
"?!"
Hearing this, Broly's Goodwill toward Fujimura Taiga shot straight up, but sadly, he clearly knew he would return home in five days.
Even if this Wife No. 2 is willing to support him, in five days it will be forcibly ended because of separation.
Unless he can take her and her food back home together, back to Wanpa Star.
【Reminder: the Host can only take away inanimate objects with which he has direct skin contact; to take away a wife, please wait until unlocking the Crystal Palace's Internal Space.】
【Internal Space?】
【Currently Crystal Palace Level LV1, Official Members 0/5; upon having 5 Official Members, the Crystal Palace will automatically upgrade to LV2, unlocking the Internal Space construction function.
The Host may spend corresponding Happiness Points to construct venue buildings once experienced.
Currently, the Host possesses Happiness Points 0.
Capture Target 1, Matou Sakura, Happiness Value 25.
Capture Target 2, Fujimura Taiga, Happiness Value 31.】
The Crystal Palace gave a lot of information; Broly felt his brain wasn't quite enough.
But he understood one thing clearly: he cannot take away many things from this world.
"This rice is really delicious, give me another bowl!"
The day's plan lies in the morning; morning rice tastes fragrant, and knowing that Fujimura Taiga would give him food for the next five days, Broly didn't stuff himself further, but still polished off five buckets of rice plus two pots of dishes.
Fujimura Raiga's eyelids twitched; last night someone had already reported to him that the child his granddaughter brought home could eat a tremendous amount.
He just didn't expect it to be this much; even more like a rice bucket than a rice bucket, he fundamentally didn't know what the stomach in that belly was made of, to be able to hold so much.
Eating enough for over a dozen people per meal, three meals a day — raising this child with that kind of appetite is equivalent to raising over a dozen freeloading adult men.
Even Fujimura Raiga, the big boss of Fuyuki City's yakuza world, found it a bit of a headache for a while — not that he couldn't afford it, but the cost-effectiveness felt somewhat low.
In his eyes, Broly was just a kid who could eat, nothing more.
"Hopefully this child will someday have abilities that match his appetite."
The person had already been taken into the house; it was impossible to kick him out. Fujimura Raiga could only hope like this.
Considering his granddaughter's temper was rather similar to his own, she might not find anyone she could get along with in the future either.
【Eh?!】
Thinking of the childhood friend arrangement, this Fuyuki City yakuza big boss's mood improved considerably.
"Are you two going out later?"
Fujimura Taiga asked.
"Yes, I'm planning to send her home."
Broly pointed at Young Sakura and stated the plan for later.
"She still has a home?"
The moment Fujimura Taiga asked this, she realized she had misspoken.
"That's not what I meant."
She hurriedly explained to Young Sakura, whose face had fallen.
"I know, Fujimura-neesan has no malice."
Young Sakura was a sensible child; she indicated understanding of her explanation.
"I intend to use force to take back her home."
Broly said, clenching his small fist.
"Take it back from whose hands?"
"From her dad and mom's hands. If her dad and mom don't want her anymore, then I'll beat them until they do."
Fujimura Taiga: "..."
She had only read about armed tax collection in history books; she had never seen a violent return home.
This also counts as a certain kind of eye-opener, courtesy of a little kid.
"I'll come along too."
As Broly prepared to go out with Young Sakura, Fujimura Taiga also came over from the dojo holding her own Tiger Bamboo Sword, intending to tag along.
This kind of violence... cough cough, a good deed of escorting a girl home — how could it be left to a pitiful child without a father to do alone? Naturally she had to count herself in.
Regarding the specific circumstances on this girl called Little Sakura, Fujimura Taiga wasn't very clear, but she did learn that she had been abandoned by her own parents.
And this kind of thing is problematic; Fujimura Raiga intends to seek them out and properly lecture those parents who would abandon such an obedient girl.
Tohsaka Residence. A man wearing a priest's vestments arrived here.
"Kirei, you know why I had you come over, right?"
"I know. When the teacher dispatched a familiar, he already said it was for the missing little daughter."
"Although that child Sakura was adopted into the Matou Family and has openly severed ties with the Tohsaka Family, she is ultimately my daughter. The matter of her being kidnapped by an Unknown Servant — as her biological father, I simply cannot ignore it."
The man dressed in a red suit spoke thus.
He is precisely the Tohsaka Family's Current Head.
The Type-Moon World's Pot King, Matou Sakura's Biological Father, Tohsaka Tokiomi.
