Chapter 826: A Prophecy Fulfilled, Truly Becoming the [Demon King]

"Lady Hestia, I didn't go on a tryst with anyone. Miss Fels and I only ran into each other in the Dungeon today."

"You were holding her hand, and she followed you home with a bashful, unresisting look. You expect me to believe that?"

"Ah, Lady Hestia, I wasn't being bashful at all."

"Tch. She's not even through the door yet and she's already defending my Broly. When you said that, did you not look in a mirror to see how red your own face was?"

"It's because the weather is hot, I got sunburned————"

Watching Fels flusteredly try to defend herself, Hestia's originally puffed-up angry expression gradually shifted into the satisfied look of a mother-in-law approving of her daughter-in-law.

"Alright, alright. You still won't let go of my kid's hand even now. I'll believe the red on your face is from the heat, from the sun, okay?"

Seeing Fels shrink behind the boy and play the turtle, Hestia didn't make things difficult for her anymore. She walked up to Broly, raised her hand, and patted the boy's sturdy chest.

"Broly, I'm saying, you kid, a new Encounter Target is a new Encounter Target. Nobody's opposing you, so why did you have to keep it bottled up and run off to the Dungeon alone on the excuse of grinding monsters?"

"Lady Hestia, I'll explain everything clearly to you and everyone tonight. For now, can I go take a shower first? I haven't showered in days in the Dungeon, and I'm a bit dirty right now."

"Go ahead. By the way, do you need help? Or should I have the White Shrine Maiden go in with you directly?"

"Ah, I————"

Fels was about to say something when Broly cut her off.

"Not needed. I'll wash by myself."

Broly seldom took a shower alone. By the time he came out wiping his wet hair with a towel, the Hall of Hearth Manor was already bustling with activity.

"Miss Fels, if you have feelings for Broly, there was no need to sneak around. Having one more of you at Hearth Manor, we'd still be very welcoming."

"Ah, I didn't————"

"So, you're unwilling to become Broly's External Wife?"

"No, that's not it either————"

"Huh? Then what exactly do you mean?"

"What I mean is, I'm willing to become Mr. Broly's wife. But I didn't secretly tryst with him. I confessed to Mr. Broly in the Dungeon today. Lefiya can vouch for me, prove that I didn't go to the Dungeon yesterday or the day before."

Fels cast a help-seeking gaze at the elf girl, and Lefiya stepped up without hesitation to testify: "I can confirm Miss Fels was in Orario the past two days. But for the days before that, I'm not sure."

"Ah, Lefiya, you————"

"I'm telling the truth. Miss Fels, don't get mad. Of course, we're all Crystal Palace members now, so you shouldn't get mad at me, right?"

Lefiya smiled playfully at her. If anyone was most welcoming of the White Shrine Maiden joining the Crystal Palace, it was probably Lefiya.

From acquaintance to their current getting along, Lefiya and Fels had the best relationship. Calling them intimate girlfriends would be no exaggeration.

Now that the other party was also joining Broly's Crystal Palace, it meant the two of them would still be together often from now on. No need to worry that Fels would fall in love with someone else someday and get abducted by some unknown figure.

And besides that benefit, her relationship with Miss Fels might also develop like her relationship with Miss Ais.

The Encounter Target and the wives gathered in the Hall, and the Main God and girls of Astraea Familia also came running to watch the excitement.

Fels was clearly the focal point before Broly arrived. Everyone who knew her treated the already mortified White Shrine Maiden with a teasing attitude of "Didn't expect you to be this kind of Miss Fels."

Broly walked over and rescued her from the siege.

Proving that Fels hadn't been with him in the days before that either.

"If you weren't meeting Fels, why wouldn't you let us come with you?"

Tiona raised the question.

"That's exactly what I'm about to say————"

Although some insiders were still missing and some outsiders were present, Broly still publicly spoke of his promise with Fujimura Taiga.

"Lady Hestia, you all are always so passionately fiery, making me burn with restless heat. I felt unwell, and feared I'd cross the line by accident and break my promise with someone else. So I had the thought to temporarily avoid it by running to the Dungeon. I'm sorry, please forgive me————"

The "Demon King" of Hestia Familia, renowned far and wide outside, showed not a shred of a strongman's bearing. Before a group of External Wives and Encounter Targets, he performed dogeza.

"So, Broly-san, the reason you previously refused to do nighttime growth with me and Lady Hestia was because you had a growth promise with someone else?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell us directly before?"

"Lili, didn't you tell me before that hiding some things makes it easier to pursue others?"

Liliruca:

"

She lifted a rock only to drop it on her own foot?!

Naturally, the one feeling like the biggest clown present was none other than the Clown God, the Elf Princess of Loki Familia.

The promise partner Broly spoke of wasn't dead, just living in another world. Once Broly could return, he could fulfill the promise.

She, however, mistakenly thought the other party was already dead, and wanted to act as a substitute to help Broly realize the promise of exchanging purity with that person.

Although until now Riveria hadn't deeply interacted with Broly, other intimate acts were not lacking in the slightest.

Thinking of how the Saiyan boy had wantonly toyed with her on the bed before, this Elf Princess couldn't help but feel shame and indignation well up.

Riveria wanted nothing more than to march up, grab Broly by the ear, and scold him for not making things clear earlier, causing her misunderstanding.

"Broly————"

"Lady Hestia?"

"You should have said this earlier."

"I'm sorry."

"Well, it's not too late to say it now."

"Then————"

"Of course I choose to forgive you. You just wanted to keep your promise and fulfill your agreement with someone else, right?"

Hestia said to the boy with a beaming smile, actually forgiving his concealment very easily.

Seeing this, the others likewise didn't blame Broly too much. After all, as latecomers, they had originally thought the boy's purity had long been taken by Hestia or Liliruca. Now knowing it hadn't been lost was, for them, rather good news.

"Alright, since everything's settled, you go to my room. I'll update your status for you."

Hestia said with a beaming smile.

"Yes."

Broly replied, then stood up from the ground and headed to the Main God's room.

With no excitement to watch, the others dispersed as well.

"Lady Hestia, what kind of scheme are you plotting?"

Hestia prepared to follow Broly's footsteps, but Liliruca, who knew her comparatively well, grabbed her and questioned her in a low voice.

"Othar-kun, what are you saying? How would I know?"

"Stop playing dumb, Lady Hestia. I've gotten along with you for this long; how could I not see that the expression on your face right now is clearly one of plotting something?"

"Of course, even if you don't say it, I can guess your thoughts. You want to get a step ahead and eat up and wipe clean Broly-san's purity?!"

"Fine, since you've seen through me, I won't deny it. That's right, that's what I think. That child Broly's first time will definitely belong to me."

"Hmph, you goddess with a head full of yellow thoughts, don't even dream of hogging him all to yourself!"

Broly was forgiven and went happily to Hestia's room, not knowing that behind him the Pallum girl had grabbed the Loli Goddess and they were now arguing in low voices.

Hand holding hand, ten fingers intertwined, gaze meeting gaze, clashing head-on; the other Encounter Targets and External Wives who saw this scene, originally preparing to leave, silently sat back down.

And from their expressions, obviously, all of them were interested in this. After all, they were all people of the Crystal Palace; who didn't have the thought of wanting to take Broly's first time?

"Speaking of which, doing this, aren't you afraid of driving Broly-san back into the Dungeon again?"

Filvis couldn't help but speak up.

"Hah, then does this White Shrine Maiden not want Broly-san's purity?"

"Ah, this, I——"

Filvis hemmed and hawed; if possible, she naturally wanted it too.

"However, what you say has some merit. Lady Hestia, do you intend to drive Broly-san back into the Dungeon to hide again?"

"I won't drive him back. I'll make that child willing."

"How? Do you have charming means too?"

"I don't have that kind of means, but I can give him an aphrodisiac."

"Ah, you're despicable!"

"Shameless!"

"Lewd!"

The moment Hestia's words left her mouth, she was denounced by the others.

"Lady Hestia, Broly has a promise with someone else. How can you use such underhanded means?"

""

"Then what do you say we do? Which one of us here hasn't flirted and postured in front of him——"

Filvis: I haven't flirted and postured——

"They all made that kid burn with restless fire and hide from us in the Dungeon. Which one succeeded in growing together with him? If we don't use medicine, how else do we take his first time?"

Hestia said as a matter of course, as if using medicine was the proper way.

"Aren't you afraid that afterwards, Broly-san will hate you?"

"Ugh, I believe that child, even afterwards, won't hate me."

"Even so, why can you use medicine but I can't?"

"Hah, I knew it would be like this. You all have this kind of thinking, right?"

Hestia scanned a circle; the others either avoided her gaze or met her gaze directly.

The world is undecided; everyone has the qualification to vie for the Central Plains.

This logic applies the same to the Crystal Palace members of the Reverse World.

"Fine, then after I use the medicine, we'll all be in one room, and we'll see who Broly chooses!"

"I think that won't do. A person should keep their promise——"

"I agree with Ryu."

"Then I agree with Miss Ais."

"I think anything goes."

A group of girls each held their own views.

"What are you all saying? Lady Hestia, are you done?"

Just then, Broly returned again. He had waited left and right in Hestia's room but didn't wait for his own Main God, so he came back to look.

"Almost done. You go to the room and wait for me first."

Hestia was startled, turned her head and saw the youth's face had no angry expression, so she hurriedly waved her hand to make him leave.

"How about this: a person should keep their word, but if among us there is someone with outstanding charm who can make Broly willingly go back on his word, then that is ability."

"No using strange potions."

"Won't use."

"Must supervise each other."

"No problem."

The Reverse World's Wife Group reached a consensus, only when Hestia walked to the room, a group of people followed behind her.

"Hey, didn't I say I won't use medicine?"

"We're supervising you."

"I haven't bought the medicine yet."

"That still requires the Supervisor."

Hestia was even a bit speechless.

", how did you all come over?"

In the Room, Broly curiously watched the group of Broly's Wives who walked in, not understanding why updating his Status Update needed so many people to watch.

"We're just a bit curious, Broly-san, after a period of solo monster-killing training in the Dungeon, just what extent your Strength/Power has reached."

Liliruca casually found a reason and brushed it off perfunctorily; Broly also didn't suspect anything.

"No, Lady Hestia, you really let this many people watch together while you update Broly's Status Update?"

Riveria was dragged along; seeing Hestia really didn't plan to make people Leave Room, she couldn't help but step forward and ask a sentence.

"Everyone in the Room are our own people, they won't Randomly reveal Broly's Status Update to the outside; if they want to watch, let them watch After All, making you all leave, that would also require you all to be Willing!"

The latter words, Hestia bit down on each syllable extremely heavily.

Divine Blood dripped on the youth's back; Hestia began the Status Update; Ais curiously leaned over to look.

"Ah~"

Soon, an Exclaim rang out.

"What happened?"

All the women in the Room looked over at once.

"Broly gained a Skill."

"Gained a Skill, what's so Strange about that?"

Originally to avoid suspicion, Riveria didn't Step forward to look; only now did she walk up.

And upon seeing some Divine Script floating on Broly's back, her Expression was also Stunned.

Gaining multiple Skills is Nothing Big, but if it's a Skill that makes one Monsterification, that's very special.

Skill 【Demon King】: You are a Demon King recognized by the world; you sheltered monsters who walked out of the Dungeon; your merits obtained the Dungeon's recognition; you received the Dungeon's Blessing; you have already become the most special Labyrinth Lonely King.
