Chapter 837

"Bang~"

A tremendous boom suppressed even the heated training sounds of the Battle Wilderness.

Ottar and the others looked toward the sound, only to see their Familia's massive front gate kicked flying.

At the gate, a familiar figure walked in.

"Broly, what do you mean by breaking in like this?"

Hedin walked forward to meet him, frowning as he questioned the Saiyan approaching this way; he truly could not understand why the other party had such an aggressive bearing.

"I'm here to play the robber today; breaking in is to better set the atmosphere."

Broly answered truthfully, but his answer left the Freya Familia members somewhat baffled.

"Playing robber, then what do you plan to steal from us?"

Ottar stepped forward and also frowned as he asked, his right hand gripping a greatsword.

"Naturally, I'll steal your Familia's most precious treasure — your Goddess, Lady Freya."

Broly raised his hand and pointed toward the distance, at Freya who was drinking morning tea not far away while cheering on the striving children.

"Pfft, cough cough cough———"

Broly's volume was not low; Freya, who was drinking tea, directly sprayed out a mouthful of tea, even choking into a coughing fit.

And she also wore a puzzled expression, not understanding what the situation was, why Broly suddenly wanted to rob her.

"What nonsense are you spouting, last night Lady Freya already gave you her most precious thing (maiden's heart).

And you, this guy, still aren't satisfied, actually still want to come forcibly seize Lady Freya, insulting our respected Goddess?!"

"Broly, even if you are the Demon King, stronger than us, don't even think about snatching Lady Freya from our hands!"

The originally brawling Freya Familia, upon hearing Broly's purpose, unanimously united against the outside threat; the strongest few, with Ottar as vanguard, aimed their weapons at the intruding robber.

"That's right; I allow you, the soon-to-be victims, to take up weapons and resist — let me see how much you've progressed!"

Battle was on the verge of breaking out, yet also concluded in a few breaths; everyone including Ottar was knocked down by a single punch from Broly.

No one died — that was Broly controlling his strength, holding back.

【We got stronger, but Broly this monster got even stronger.】

This was the most genuine feeling of all the beaten Freya Familia combat members.

Before they could still exchange a few moves, but now it was almost instant collapse on contact.

Benefiting from the massive life energy contributed by Andarisi, Broly's current ability value is 139s.

Even Ottar, before him, is like a little loli facing a burly man.

"Miss Haize, I don't want to fight you; you and these rear-guard healers beside you, please have your people stop the healing magic"

In an instant he knocked down Ottar and the others; the next moment Broly arrived before the rear-guard healer team, not attacking directly, but shouting at the familiar face leading them.

"Broly, what on earth do you want to do?!"

Haize Belpet gritted her teeth, glaring at him as she questioned.

"I already said, I'm here to steal your Familia's Goddess, Lady Freya."

【Bullshit, you want Lady Freya yet still need to rob her? Before there were countless chances to easily obtain her————】

"Lady Freya, pardon the offense; from now on you are my spoils of war."

Broly didn't know Haize's inner thoughts; he walked straight to Freya's front, just like a real robber directly hoisting the Goddess onto his shoulder, then ran off with Freya.

"Ah, Lady Haize, aren't we chasing?"

"Chase for what? Can you beat him?"

"Uh————"

"Forget it; Lady Freya probably won't be in danger. Heal the injured first."

Haize sighed, directing the other healers to heal the wounded combatants.

Although Broly's strikes had measure, Ottar and these people each suffered severed tendons and broken bones that directly cost them combat capability.

Broly's foot speed was extremely fast; after leaving the Battle Wilderness, before long he returned to Hearth Manor on West Main Street.

And brought here, only after being set down did Freya look somewhat helplessly at the Saiyan youth who had forcibly seized her: "Broly, what on earth are you doing?"

Things don't happen thrice; facing the third inquiry, and from the person herself, Broly no longer used robber as an excuse: "Bringing Lady Freya here was to ask Lady Freya a question."

"What question? Can't you just ask directly?"

"Then, will you become my wife?"

Hearing this, Freya froze, looking puzzled at the Saiyan youth: "Didn't I already entrust Hill to you?"

"But I'm not talking about Hill; I'm talking about you, Lady Freya — are you willing to become my wife?"

"Ah, no, you————"

Freya's eyes widened, her mind turning somewhat chaotic.

"Lady Freya, allow me to explain.

Just then, Hill walked over and began explaining the reason Broly played robber.

Originally, last night, after she was brought back to Hearth Manor and joined this family, she received the new member's privilege of being alone with Broly.

While night-chatting on a bed with the youth, she spoke of Broly's imperfect answer.

If one says Broly and Freya's encounter is like playing a galgame.

Then last night Freya asking Broly whether he liked her Goddess posture more or her maiden posture more was deciding the route to the ending.

"No matter whether you answer you like Lady Freya more, or answer you like both equally, Lady Freya would have given herself to you; pity, Broly, you gave the most regrettable answer————"

Last night, Hill had both the sweetness of gaining happiness and the regret of choosing to let Freya go.

Normally, reaching here, this galgame would already be over, but Broly is not normal; after confirming Freya did not hate him, Broly sighed 【a goddess's heart, a needle at the bottom of the sea】 while making the decision 【go to the Battle Wilderness and snatch the Goddess】.

"Lady Freya, I'm not forcing you either. If you're unwilling to become my wife, you may leave me right now and I absolutely won't stop you. But if you're willing, then please answer me loudly — not as Hill, but as the Goddess you are yourself. Are you willing to become my, Broly's, wife?"

Broly looked at her seriously.

【You have received an invitation from the Crystal Palace Master. Are you willing to join the Crystal Palace and become one of its members?】

The Crystal Palace invitation message that appeared in her consciousness made Freya purse her lips.

She had originally thought that after separating out her maiden heart, her own heart was destined to never fluctuate because of emotion again.

But————

"Yes, I am willing."

As she gave the boy her loud answer, Freya only felt her own heart filled with an inexplicable something.

【So it turns out, one doesn't need an empty heart to be able to feel the sensation of happiness————】

With this, Broly gained another Goddess wife.

However, the matter of him intruding into the Freya Familia and forcibly seizing this Beauty Goddess was spread around.

After all, he had carried Freya back to the Familia in broad daylight.

Naturally, for him personally, aside from making the Demon King's reputation even greater, there was no other influence.

However, Freya joining the Crystal Palace did draw some objections from Artemis.

As Heaven's discipline committee member, Artemis was naturally unaccustomed to gods with more dissolute conduct. She worried that Freya's joining might corrupt the internal atmosphere of this big family, Hearth Manor.

"Freya, before we weren't familiar. Even if I disapproved of your private conduct, I wouldn't accuse you of anything. But now, you've already joined our big family. If you still dare to mess around behind my Orion's back, then don't blame my arrows for being merciless."

"No problem, Artemis. I'm willing to accept your surveillance. If I ever commit any act of betrayal in the future, you by all means can kill me."

Faced with Artemis's aggressive attitude, Freya didn't counterattack; it was only Hill beside her who was somewhat indignant.

"Lady Freya, how can Lady Artemis suspect you'll betray Broly in the future? Clearly, your attitude toward every encounter is single-minded."

"This can't be helped. Compared to you all, in this big family I have a disadvantage that can never be made up for — that I lost my purity long ago."

"But Broly doesn't mind this point. Moreover, I should count as your purity as well."

"You are you, I am I.

And Broly not minding doesn't mean others don't mind.

As for the reason, it's nothing more than they've paid more, so why should I get to be the same as them.

Able to enjoy the same rights as Broly's wife."

"Then, are we just not going to do something about it?"

Hill couldn't help but ask.

"Do what? What do you think we should do?"

Freya countered, and Hill was a bit at a loss for words, thinking for a moment before answering.

"Lady Freya, I think we can please Broly together, prove that our love for Broly far surpasses everyone else's."

"Hill, my foolish daughter. Love certainly can be proven through some explicit actual actions, but more of it requires thinking from the perspective of the one you love.

Our pleasing Broly together, while it can give Broly physical pleasure, would also bring him some unnecessary pressure.

That child Broly has already promised his purity to someone else."

"Ah, then what should we do?"

"I don't know Artemis's thoughts, but Hestia and the others clearly have ideas of breaking Broly's purity promise with others.

Of course, they don't dare use forceful methods, but rather tactful seduction methods. What we must do is the opposite — in this big family, be understanding concubines.

When Broly has needs that need solving, we help him solve them. As for other matters that might bring him trouble, we simply don't do them.

Time will prove that my love for that child Broly absolutely does not lose to anyone else in the Crystal Palace."

"Then Broly's purity————"

Hill's words weren't finished when Freya pinched her little nose.

"Don't think about it. That sister of his holds a very heavy place in his heart. Even if you ultimately succeed, it would drive a thorn between your hearts. Though the influence isn't great, it would still make your feelings for him have some flaws."

When not falling into love-brain mode, Freya is absolutely an emotion master.

When interacting with her, Broly always feels very relaxed.

Because the matter of hitting the brakes, he no longer needs to do it himself.

Freya will proactively stop when things are just about done.

Under her guidance, Hill likewise knows to stop at the right point.

Even when others lure Broly to break his promise, Freya will proactively come over to relieve the siege.

As a Beauty Goddess, yet not using seduction methods, but rather with a gentleness that makes one feel body and mind comfortable, she cares for the Saiyan boy.

Broly's harem life in the Reverse World gradually became comfortable because of Freya's joining, yet this comfort was broken on a certain autumn day when Orario's weather entered fall.

Large numbers of adventurers desperately rushed out of the Artificial Labyrinth. After months of capture by large numbers of adventurers, the Artificial Labyrinth was originally almost defeated, but right at the final moment an accident occurred.

"What happened inside the Artificial Labyrinth?"

"It's monsters. Large numbers of high-level Man-eating Flower Monsters suddenly appeared inside. They surrounded us. If not for the Red Flower of Justice from the Astraea Familia helping us, we might have all died inside."

The adventurers who ran out said with lingering fear.

"Miss Alicia, do you know what the situation is?"

Eina, who had rushed over to this Daedalus Street side, was asking an acquaintance about the situation inside the Artificial Labyrinth.

"Sorry, what I know is the same as everyone else."

Alicia shook her head. The Artificial Labyrinth's upheaval was sudden.

0。。00

"Lord Dionysus, do you know what happened on the Artificial Labyrinth side?"

Upon learning that an incident had occurred at the Artificial Labyrinth, Felsweis ran back to her Familia to ask her own Main God.

"What happened at the Artificial Labyrinth?"

Dionysus looked at the spirit with a puzzled face.

"Man-Eating Flowers have appeared in large amounts; the Fetus Jewels previously transported inside seem to have revived."

While watching her own Main God's face, the White Shrine Maiden explained the current situation of the Artificial Labyrinth.

"Those Fetus Jewels from before, I already had people secretly dispose of them.

I suspect that, sensing their clones were exterminated, the polluted Fairy Spirits deep in the Dungeon took action."

Dionysus touched his chin and made his own conjecture.

"What, Felsweis, you wouldn't happen to think the incident at the Artificial Labyrinth was my doing, would you?"

He suddenly met the White Shrine Maiden's gaze and asked with a smile.

"Ah, no, how could I possibly suspect you, Lord Dionysus? You originally prepared to do those things (destroy Orario) for my sake, but now you no longer have a reason to do those things."

Felsweis hurriedly denied it, but from her somewhat relieved appearance, one could still tell she had harbored a certain degree of suspicion before coming.

"Hey, Felsweis, now that an incident has occurred at the Artificial Labyrinth, you also know clearly what is inside. If the problem isn't solved as soon as possible, the situation may develop in an even worse direction. I wonder what you plan to do now?"
