Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 100 Visiting the Black Market

"So, you came to me because you said some big words and regretted not repaying the favor to that girl named Hill?"

Leone handed over the distribution of the toiletry sets to the neighbor's grandmother, and took Broly aside to talk.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Broly nodded, even though he was just worried.

"But it seems useless for you to come to me, right?"

Leone was speechless, it seemed like this had nothing to do with her.

"You are another target of my strategy."

Broly did not tell the truth. According to Mine's analysis yesterday, if he casually asked the girl to be his wife without knowing her well and trying to get closer to her, he would be easily rejected.

"I just came to ask you, do you think I should repay the favor?"

Broly asked this question, and as one of the new targets discovered in the imperial capital, he thought that Leone's words should have some value.

"Ah, this..."

Leona hesitated. How should she answer this question?
The answer was that she should repay the favor, but she was against her will.

The answer is that you shouldn’t ask for repayment for a favor. Do you still want to be a tour guide tomorrow?
"This is your business, little boss. I think you should make the decision yourself."

After thinking about it, Leone felt that no matter how he answered, it would be inappropriate, so he just kicked the ball back.

"If you were Miss Hill, would you be willing to be held in high esteem by me, or would you be unwilling to be held in high esteem by me?"

Broly asked again, and Leone felt overwhelmed, but seeing that the boy insisted on having an explanation, she could only answer carefully.

"From a normal person's perspective, I definitely don't like being held hostage by others, but I'm not that girl with glasses, so it's hard for me to tell what the other person is thinking."

Leone kept talking about the same old things. Coming from a low-income family, she kept trying to be as cautious as possible. She didn't want to bear any guilt, but she also didn't want to lose a well-paid job.

Broly was listening nearby and felt that what Leone said seemed to make sense, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that she was just talking nonsense.

"It's getting late, young boss. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go back and rest."

"Wait, talk to me again."

"Boss Broly, I'm not very good at chatting."

"But didn't you say you can comfort people? I'm in a bad mood right now and I want you to comfort me."

Leona: “…”

If you make fun of someone behind their back and the person concerned hears it, it will definitely cause trouble.

Leone thought that the boy in front of her was holding a grudge against her and was looking for trouble with her.

Hey, look at her bad temper, the worst that can happen is that she won’t have a job tomorrow!
"I paid for it."

"Okay, little boss Broly, how do you want me to coax you? Let's play the joker card. I can go get someone to play with you."

The tomboy girl said in a somewhat mercenary manner.

"Instead of playing the ghost card game, take me shopping and have a chat."

Broly shook his head in response.

[Shopping, what is there to do in the capital at night? ]

[Oh, the Flower Street is lively at night, but it’s not suitable for you at your age! ]

[Mine doesn’t fit either…]

While complaining in his heart, Leone actually thought of a place worth visiting.

"Young boss, since you want to go shopping, I'll take you to the black market in the castle town."

. . . .

It is called a black market, but in fact it is just a flea market formed by vendors selling second-hand items at night. Since the goods are complex enough and the prices are generally not expensive, it is a place where many poor people and civilians who do not have much money in their pockets go to shop.

"Here, people with a keen eye can find good stuff. I've heard of a story where someone bought a painting for fifty yuan, and it turned out to be the posthumous work of a famous painter. Someone bought it for five hundred thousand yuan, and he became rich overnight."

Leone talked freely and worked overtime as Broly's night street tour guide. Broly followed behind, looking around the bustling black market streets, but most of the time his attention was attracted by the snacks sold at the snack stalls.

"Want to eat?"

Seeing this, Leone asked.

"think."

Broly nodded.

"If you want to eat, buy it."

Leonie said she wanted to get some snacks too. "Do you allow credit here?"

Broly asked.

"No, what's wrong?"

"I was in a hurry to get out, and I didn't have any money with me."

Broly turned his pocket inside out to show Leone.

Leona: “…”

She looked at the grilled squid and took out her small wallet.

"How about this, little boss? I'll give you the money on credit first, and you can just pay me back tomorrow."

Leone bought two grilled squids, one for himself and one for Broly.

"Leo, you're such a good person."

Taking the grilled squid, Broly said sincerely.

"That's not the case. I'm just lending you money temporarily..."

Leone felt a little guilty, because she didn't buy the grilled squid in her hand with her own money, but charged it to the account of the young boss in front of her.

"By the way, don't call me Leo. My real name is Leone. Leo is the pseudonym I use to get by outside."

After thinking for a while, Leone said again.

"Why do you use a fake name?"

Broly already knew her real name, but he didn't know why she chose a fake one.

"Life in the capital is not very stable. Sometimes people cheat and deceive each other. If you use a fake name when you go out, you will not be easily found by others when something goes wrong. This can avoid a lot of trouble."

Leone explained that she was willing to tell her real name only after she believed that Broly had no ill will towards her.

Of course, this might also be related to the fact that she had already been visited and her residential address had been exposed, so it would be unkind of her to lie again.

"I see."

Broly learned his lesson.

"Leone, what do you think about becoming someone else's wife?"

The two were chatting while eating squid. After finishing the grilled squid, Broly suddenly asked this question to the tomboy girl next to him.

"Eh?!"

Leone was stunned by the question.

"I don't think I have any opinion."

"What do you mean by having no opinion?"

"???"

Leone put up a question mark, not because she had a problem, but because she thought Broly had a problem.

"In our slums, it is extremely normal for girls to grow up and marry and become someone else's wife, just like boys will marry and have children when they grow up. Since it is an extremely normal thing, we will treat it normally. There is no need to have any opinions."

Thanks to the other party's identity as the boss, Leone still patiently explained.

"So, you don't mind becoming someone else's wife, right?"

Broly demanded.

"Of course...

Leone hesitated, as she could hardly imagine herself getting married, but she answered anyway.

"So what are your requirements for the other half you are going to marry?"

"I haven't really thought about what I want, but I want to live a rich life in the future, so regardless of other things, I hope my future significant other will be a rich man."

Leone thought about it and gave the first request.

"Do you think I have money?"

Broly demanded.

"Hey, wait, what's your question?"

Leone looked at Broly and suddenly realized.

"Ah, little boss, you are not attracted to me, are you?"
