Chapter 820

"Broly-sama, there's still a Champion Arena match at the Pleasure Street tonight, so Bache and I will head back first."

""

Leaving the Loki Familia, they arrived at a fork in the road, and Algana proposed to take her leave.

"Alright."

Broly nodded.

"Then————"

Algana stepped forward, biting her lip, her face showing the look of an obedient little dog asking its master for a reward.

Broly knew Algana was asking for a parting kiss; although he was carrying Riveria's luggage in his hands, his mouth was free, and he wasn't stingy either. He stepped forward and lowered his head slightly, giving her a very French-style deep kiss.

Naturally, after kissing the older sister, the younger sister got one too. Bache pulled aside the veil on her face and also shared a passionate kiss with him. After the kisses, the two sisters left waving, fully satisfied.

Meanwhile, Alicia, standing to the side, had already stared herself into a daze. This was on a main street, and moreover, right in front of Lady Riveria.

She hurriedly turned her head to look at Riveria, only to discover the other party merely frowned and asked the Amazon girl beside her: "Tiona, is this how Broly gets along with those two?"

"It's not just with them; it's the same with us. And we all learned this from Lady Hestia. She said it's to absorb Broly's energy; if we don't absorb it, we'll feel listless after parting. So every time we separate, we kiss each other."

Tiona answered honestly.

"?!"

Alicia looked at her in shock.

"Don't you feel any shame?"

She asked.

"Huh? Why would we feel shame? Between husband and wife, kissing isn't a perfectly normal thing?"

Tiona looked a bit confused.

"Ais, is it the same for you?"

The Nine Magic Princesses stopped Alicia, who still wanted to say something, and asked directly.

"In Ais's case, she actually wants to do that too. It's just that Lefiya never allows it, saying Broly has kissed so many people's mouths, it's not clean at all, and if she kisses him, her lips might rot. But I've kissed him that many times and my lips haven't rotted. Obviously, this is just Lefiya making a mountain out of a molehill."

Tiona said with a somewhat unconcerned air, while Riveria's frown deepened further.

"What is this Champion Arena?"

She immediately asked about the event Algana had just mentioned. Riveria felt the event name sounded like something she had heard before.

"Oh, that. It's a special event held at the Pleasure Street by Kali Familia after Lady Kali led her familia to occupy the Pleasure Street originally belonging to Ishtar Familia."

"I heard that if you win a match, you can free-ride a prostitute on the night of victory. And if you win the championship match, you gain a lifetime permit to freely enjoy all prostitutes on the Pleasure Street."

"Now, it's very popular with male adventurers in Orario. Every night, many male adventurers aiming for lifetime free rides go participate in the arena matches held by Kali Familia."

Riveria: "————"

She suddenly remembered where she had heard the event name. It was precisely from the male members of her own familia. No wonder when she asked them what they were talking about before, those guys would evade the question and laugh it off before hurrying away. Turns out they were all a bunch of lechers.

"But Broly, aren't you worried?"

"What would I be worried about?"

"If your two wives lose, they'll be free-ridden by someone else."

"Huh? The Kali Familia arena matches reward the victor with free rides of the Pleasure Street prostitutes, right? Algana and Bache, those two aren't prostitutes."

Broly looked at Riveria with some doubt.

"Eh? Is that so?"

Riveria looked a bit surprised, involuntarily looking at Tiona.

"Yes. Although quite a few Amazon warriors of Kali Familia have also taken up work as Pleasure Street prostitutes, ones like Algana and Master Bache only sit guard at the Champion Arena and engage in the final guard-dueling segment against challengers who defeat Kali Familia members one by one aiming for the lifetime free ride."

The Pleasure Street now controlled by Kali Familia has fused the Yellow and Violence together. And in terms of the brutality of the arena battles, with the advent of Resurrection Magic, it in no way falls short of the bloody duels of the Dun Country in the past.

"After obtaining Broly's Wing Skill, I don't feel there will be any male adventurers in Orario who can match Algana and Master Bache in the future."

"However, participants aren't restricted by gender. Perhaps in the future I'll go up and fight, and obtain the reward of a lifetime free ride at the Pleasure Street!"

Tiona said somewhat jokingly, and a group of people had unknowingly arrived at the front door of Hearth Manor.

"This is Hearth Manor?"

Alicia gazed at the luxurious faction residence before her, staring in dumbfounded amazement.

"Oh, Alicia, you haven't come over since the last time, right? After the Heretics moved in, Hearth Manor commissioned Hephaestus Familia to expand outward once. And after Alicia and the others of Astraea Familia were resurrected, it was expanded again."

"Now, it's a residence not much inferior to our Twilight Manor. Even in terms of land area and internal facilities, it's far more luxurious than our faction residence. Hmm, they've built four artificial hot spring bathrooms alone."

Tiona puffed out her barren chest and introduced it quite proudly.

The reason so many artificial hot spring bathrooms were built was mainly because Hearth Manor has many people now, and the original hot spring bathroom wasn't quite enough.

Especially the current Hearth Manor still houses some guests who are neither Broly's Encounter Targets nor External Wives.

For example, Astraea who is temporarily residing here, and the group of Justice Girls belonging to her familia who were just resurrected not long ago.

Naturally, there's also the Sage Miss who permanently resides here researching the Resurrection Device, and the Battlefield Saintess Miss researching how to shed reliance on the Sheep Talisman for no-remains resurrection technology.

Additionally, there's the Heretics' side. After leaving the Dungeon to live on the surface, they also have bodily cleansing needs.

But monsters also have sexes. For instance, Songbird Ray and the others won't bathe together with male monsters like Reed.

"Lady Hestia, we will be troubling you for a while."

Broly carried the luggage and led the people inside. Upon seeing Hestia, Riveria bowed to the Loli Goddess and said.

"Miss Riveria, have you figured it out?"

Hestia looked a bit surprised. She knew the Nine Magic Princesses' situation. Although she joined Broly's Crystal Palace, nominally she didn't count as one of the wives.

And now the other party came over, causing Hestia to involuntarily produce some guesses. But she wasn't surprised by this. After all, her own child has grown increasingly handsome.

"I'm here to see Ais, and to take care of her daily life for a period of time."

Riveria answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Riveria, I'm not a child anymore."

Ais said this, but from the micro-expression of the girl's mouth corners curling slightly upward, Ais clearly welcomed her own Mom-san's arrival.

"Then what about this Miss Alicia?"

"Lady Hestia, I've come to take care of Lady Riveria's daily life here."

The golden-haired giant-breasted elf hurriedly explained the situation; she didn't want to be misunderstood by Hestia as wanting to come become a member of Broly's harem.

While they were speaking here, Broly had already taken Riveria's luggage to an empty room.

"Lady Riveria, I've arranged your and Miss Alicia's rooms next to Ais and Lefiya's, is that alright?"

He walked out and asked.

"Alright."

Riveria nodded.

"Broly, I swung my sword rather fiercely today, and now my shoulders are a bit sore, can you help me knead them?

"

Seeing the Saiyan boy was free, Ryu, who had gone to the Artificial Labyrinth to battle with her little partners all day and had only been back a short while, walked over rubbing her own shoulders and asked.

"No problem."

Broly agreed directly, had Ryu sit down, and began kneading her shoulders and neck.

"Mmm———"

A comfortable moan escaped from the elf's breath; Broly's large hands kneading her shoulders and neck made Ryu enjoy it immensely.

"Mr. Broly, you knead mine too~"

And after Ryu had been loosened up just about enough, the red-haired girl leaned over and said.

"Miss Alicia, your body now inherits Goliath's recovery traits, your regenerative ability can even achieve limb regrowth, do you still need me to knead your shoulders?"

Broly was somewhat puzzled; Alicia and the others, resurrected using the Giant Goliath's magic stone, after becoming special creatures between monsters and heretics, still retained their Falna, yet every single one of their skill slots had gained the passive skill 【Goliath's Body】, inheriting the Giant Goliath's super-strong recovery traits.

"Although I don't need it, your massage technique is exquisite, being kneaded by you is very comfortable, so you just knead mine too, you know, I've been helping you with publicity lately, and you haven't paid me any publicity fees~"

"Is that Miss Red Flower also Broly's wife?"

Riveria looked toward the side where they were switching people, and couldn't help but ask.

"Her? She currently isn't, just simply has somewhat thick skin, freeloading the massage craftsmanship that my kid specially provides for encounter targets and wives.

"

Hestia shook her head and answered.

"Ais, are your shoulders sore too?"

Riveria looked toward the Sword Princess girl beside her who was gazing that way, and couldn't help but ask.

"A bit sore."

Ais nodded.

"Then———"

"Then let me knead your shoulders, Miss Ais."

Riveria's words weren't finished, when Lefiya leaned next to the Sword Princess and volunteered.

"Mmm, hmm."

Ais pondered for a moment, didn't refuse the elf girl's kindness, and was pulled to the side by Lefiya.

Riveria could see that Lefiya was seriously imitating the boy's shoulder and neck massage technique, but——

This is clearly an interactive behavior that increases intimacy between men and women, what's with a same-sex girl jumping out to steal the role?

Riveria frowned, didn't speak, just silently observed.

Evening, time to bathe.

Broly walked toward the bathroom together with Tiona and Ryu and them, looking like they were going to bathe together.

But Lefiya deliberately pulled Ais to a different hot spring bath room, and pulled them along too.

"Lady Riveria, this side is the Hearth Manor's dedicated bathing room for entertaining guests."

Those who entered together were the girls of the Astraea Familia; they were scrubbing each other's backs and chatting and laughing.

"A dedicated bathing room for entertaining guests, I can understand me and Alicia using it, but Lefiya, you and Ais on this Hearth Manor side, shouldn't count as guests, but rather as one of the mistresses of this place, right?"

Riveria, wearing a white towel wrapped around her body and sitting in the hot spring pool, finally couldn't hold back and asked.

"Ah, we're not the mistresses of this place at all, the mistress of this place is Lady Hestia."

Hearing this, Lefiya rebutted almost as if shocked by electricity.

"So, these days you've been at the Hearth Manor, you've actually all been bathing separately from Broly?

"

"Mm.

"

Ais nodded.

"You don't know that baring all to each other is the most effective way for men and women to increase intimacy?"

Riveria asked again, straightening her face just like an elementary school teacher questioning elementary students.

"Lefiya said, bathing together with Broly is bad, easy to get bullied by Broly in the bathroom———"

Ais's gaze looked toward the elf girl beside her, telling Riveria the truth.

"Broly, would mess around with women in the hot spring pool———"

Lefiya's face was a bit red, like she was tattling, she said to Riveria.

And this topic attracted the attention of Alicia and the others; they all leaned over to listen.

"Messing around — does that mean they did it in the bathroom?"

"Probably not. Judging from Ryu and Adi's reactions, neither of them seems like they've done it."

These Justice Girls not only listened, but also started gossiping and chattering about it.

When Astraea entered, what she saw was her own Familia girls crowding around the Loki Familia child, discussing whether Ryu and the boy had actually done it or not.

"Lady Astraea, you came over to this side earlier than us. Do you know the specific situation?"

Even the girls directed the question at her.

"Ah, this... I'm actually not very clear on it."

The Justice Goddess averted her gaze. She actually did know some things — for example, one late night she happened to catch Ryu and Adi sneaking sneakily into the Saiyan boy's room.

Out of curiosity, she pretended to pass by casually and listened at the door, but from inside came sounds that set the imagination running wild.

"However, I did ask Hestia. She said her child is currently still in a developmental state, and to avoid affecting his physical development, with both Ryu and her it's only been shallow sampling, stopping short of eating the forbidden fruit."

"Shallow sampling is?"

"Hah, stupid. Isn't it those things we occasionally do between ourselves!"

Alicia and the others of the Astraea Familia more or less have yuri tendencies; quite a few members have comforted each other.

But this can't be blamed on them — there are simply too few males of noble character. Only Leila fell for the Loki Familia's hero Finn.

As for the others, they more or less have the meaning of internal digestion — admiring their own captain, admiring their own Goddess.

They are comrades walking the same path of justice, and also each other's most important companions; under such circumstances, girl's love is bound to be born.

Of course, compared to these Justice Girls' joking horseplay, Alicia's mood is somewhat heavy. The outside rumors about the Hearth Manor's unobstructed gathering aren't groundless — they have a prototype. A group of women bathing together with Broly is the prototype.

Although, from what's been heard so far, it hasn't developed to the extent of wine pools and meat forests, the situation of the Saiyan boy and multiple encounter targets seemingly comforting each other in the bathroom hot spring pool still deals some shock to her worldview as an elf.

And Miss Lefiya — originally thought she willingly stepped into this demon's lair, the Hearth Manor, because of love-brain, but now it looks like she's more like a hero who came into this demon's lair striving to protect Miss Ais, preventing her from falling into the Demon King Broly's demonic clutches — just like herself tagging along wanting to protect Lady Riveria.

"Lefiya, do you hate Broly?"

"Ah, that's not it."

"Then why do you reject Broly messing around with women? The ones he can mess around with aren't all his encounter targets and wives?"

Messing around with strange women at random — that certainly has issues. But after a male-female relationship is confirmed, Riveria considers such messing around to be normal male-female interaction.

"I don't care about Broly messing around with others, but I do care about him possibly messing around with me, or with Miss Ais."

Lefiya lowered her head. She couldn't find any reason, so she could only honestly speak her true thoughts.

"That thinking of yours is very wrong."

Riveria frowned and said.

"Of course it's wrong. She's clearly treating Mr. Broly as a love rival."

"Ahhh, Miss Alicia, please don't speak nonsense. I don't have ————

The elf girl panicked and retorted, but her retorting voice grew quieter and quieter.

"She's definitely afraid that once you have an intimate opposite-sex partner, you'll neglect her as a friend.

Alicia leaned close to Ais's side, put her arm around the Sword Princess girl's shoulder, and spoke her feeling.

"I can completely understand this feeling."

The red-haired girl leaned close to the elf girl's side too, reached out and put her arm around Lefiya's shoulder.

"Because I'm the same — always feel like my important friend Ryu was stolen away by Mr. Broly.

And this is a psychological issue. As long as we properly guide it and make things clear, there's no problem."

She encouraged Lefiya.

"Lefiya, is it like that?"

"Uh, yeah————"

Things having come to this, Lefiya could only nod and admit she was afraid her friend would get a partner and neglect her. She couldn't very well show her abnormal admiration for Miss Ais.

"It's fine. Even if I become intimate with Broly, I won't neglect you, Lefiya."

Ais comforted her.

Lefiya:

"

"

"Alright, Lefiya's matter is temporarily settled. Ais, I want to talk to you about your current problem."

"Riveria, what problem do I have?"

The Sword Princess looked at the Nine Magic Princesses in puzzlement.

"Around Broly, beautiful women are increasing more and more. Do you still have enough attraction for him?"

Ais was somewhat at a loss — this touched on her knowledge blind spot.

"A woman's happiness often has to be fought for and maintained by herself. In your situation, perhaps one day Broly's liking for you will shift to other women. Something like that — Ais, do you want to see it?"

【Broly, let's do morning training together, practice swordsmanship together.】

【No, I want to do morning training with others, practice swordsmanship with others.】

【Broly, let's form a party and go to the dungeon to fight monsters?】

【No, I want to form a party with others and go to the dungeon to fight monsters.】

Riveria's words made Ais imagine such scenes.

After coming back to her senses, this Sword Princess girl hurriedly shook her head.

"I want to be with Broly. I don't want to see his liking for me shift to someone else. Riveria, what should I do?"

Seeing Ais become nervous, Riveria revealed a smile like a loving mother seeing her daughter grow a little: "It's fine. I came precisely to help you."
