Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 317 Priest and Nuns

Seven years is not a time that can say that a lot of changes have taken place, but for Broly, who came here and stayed for only a few days, Fuyuki City is still an unfamiliar modern city.

"Where are we going?"

Broly asked this after quickly flying around the city aimlessly.

"Ah, shouldn't you have asked this earlier?"

A look of surprise appeared on Toosaka Rin's girlish face, and then she started complaining.

"You just told me to take you away, away from your father's observation range, but you didn't tell me where you wanted me to take you."

Broly argued.

"That's right..."

Toosaka Rin held her hat with her hand, turned her head to look at the boy who was holding her back, and a smile appeared on her face.

Although we have not been apart for seven years, there doesn't seem to be much sense of strangeness, as if we had only known each other not long ago.

"what are you laughing at?"

Broly was a little confused. What did Toosaka Rin mean by suddenly turning her head and looking at him with a smile?

"I'm not laughing at anything. I just suddenly thought of something. Um, Broly, let me ask you something. If I ask you to follow me now and I want to go to the bathroom, will you follow me into the bathroom?"

Toosaka Rin asked.

"Sister, what kind of weird question is this?"

Next to her, Ying seemed a little confused and asked directly.

"If you need to go to the bathroom and need me to follow you, then I will come in with you."

Broly didn't understand why Toosaka Rin asked this question, but he still answered her strange question honestly.

"What if I don't tell you that I need you to follow me to the bathroom?"

Broly: "..."

He lifted Sakura up and put her on his shoulder, then freed his hand and touched Toosaka Rin's forehead.

"What are you doing?"

Broly's little hand touched Toosaka Rin's forehead, and this time it was her turn to be puzzled by the boy's behavior.

"I just want to know if you are sick."

"I'm not sick."

"You're not sick, why would you ask such a strange question?"

"Just tell me if you will follow me."

"I'll stay outside the bathroom."

"Well, you have much more common sense than when I first knew you."

Toosaka Rin said in confirmation.

"So, sister, you asked Broly brother this question just to make sure that he has more common sense than before."

Sakura asked.

"I guess so, but I want to know how much he has changed compared to his past self."

Toosaka Rin nodded, but then spoke again.

“How big of a change is that?”

Sakura asked out of curiosity, actually she wanted to know the difference between the boy her sister saw now and the boy her sister saw in the past.

"Not really. He's my old classmate who was transferred to the same class."

Toosaka Rin said with certainty.

"You've changed a lot."

Broly said sincerely that compared with the little Toosaka Rin in the past, the current Toosaka Rin seemed to have a little more... well, Broly couldn't quite describe it, but it was like a well-behaved child who suddenly became naughty, with that kind of frivolous temperament.

"Girls change a lot when they grow up!"

Toosaka Rin said with a smile.

"Sister, you are only fifteen, not yet eighteen."

Sakura made an accurate comment.

"This is what I mean by common saying..."

After a pause, Toosaka Rin suddenly asked the boy: "Broly, do you think I am better looking now than when I was a child?"

"almost."

Broly looked at the other person carefully and gave the answer.

"I've changed so much since I was a kid, how can it be the same?"

Toosaka Rin yelled in dissatisfaction.

"It's almost the same. At least the tone of the lecture hasn't changed much."

Broly said seriously.

"Pfft~"

Sakura on her shoulder couldn't help but laugh out loud, while Toosaka Rin, who was held in Broly's hand, turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"So, where are we going? Or are we just going to float in the sky?"

Broly didn't show any expression and asked again.

"Let's go to the Cathedral Church in Fuyuki City. It's a little quieter there."

Toosaka Rin said somewhat unhappily.

"it is good."

Broly nodded in response and took off flying again.

But after flying a certain distance, it stopped immediately.

"what happened again?"

"The Cathedral Church, where is that place?"

Sakura covered her mouth and laughed, thinking that Brother Broly was very cute.

"there."

The corners of Toosaka Rin's mouth twitched, and she pointed in the air.

Broly then led his men and flew in the direction the girl pointed.

However, he didn't dare fly too fast, after all, he still needed the girl's guidance.

. . . .

In the small chapel of the Fuyuki City branch of the Cathedral Church, a vinyl record was slowly spinning. From the large speaker of the antique record player came the ethereal voice of a woman humming. This was a classical piece of music called "Ave Maria", which put the entire church into a somewhat ethereal state.

At the edge of the courtyard, the priest sitting in a wheelchair closed his eyes. Just as his thoughts rose to the sky along with the music, spread across the clouds, and turned into rain falling to the earth, a strong wind suddenly blew in the courtyard.

The snow that had just melted two days ago now turned into splashing water, hitting the priest's face with a cold feeling, wetting his black priest robe and his long, naturally curly hair.

After wiping the water off his face, the priest looked towards the culprit who had caused all this in the courtyard.

After returning to the ground, Toosaka Rin's steps were a little unsteady. She staggered a bit and was supported by the boy before she could stand steadily.

She also looked over here, and seeing the man's gaze, she asked, "Brother, did you just take a shower?"

"Do I look like I'm taking a shower?"

The priest asked back, his eyes already on the boy next to the girl.

"I apologize to you on his behalf."

Toosaka Rin said, clasping her hands together.

"No, just get me a clean towel."

Toosaka Rin ran to get a towel.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice you when I was falling just now."

Broly took the initiative to apologize.

The aura of the priest before him was very restrained, almost like that of a small rodent.

There are many auras like this one that he can sense, but they are usually ignored by him.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, have we met before?"

The priest asked.

"Have you seen it?"

Broly frowned and thought carefully about the acquaintances in this world, but he had no impression of the person in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember much about people who are not related to me, so I don't remember any impression of you."

Broly shook his head and spoke very honestly.

"It doesn't matter. We only met once before, but I just have a deeper memory of you. Well, please allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Kotomine Kirei, and I am the current priest of the Fuyuki City Cathedral Church. I am also the senior of Toosaka Rin, and I once trained under her father for a period of time. "

The priest in the wheelchair introduced himself.

"I'm Broly, and I'm a Saiyan."

Broly also introduced himself.

"I wonder what your relationship with Rin is?"

Kotomine Kirei was a little curious.

"She's my wife."

Broly answered honestly. "Huh?"

Kotomine Kirei subconsciously exerted force with both hands, causing his body to lean forward slightly.

"I've never heard her mention that she already has a partner."

Before Broly could say anything, a rolled-up towel was thrown from the side with great force and hit the face of the priest man who had an expression that said "I'm curious about the story behind this".

"This is my personal matter, please don't ask about it."

Only then did Toosaka Rin walk over quickly.

"Rin, throwing things with great force is not something a daughter of a noble family should do."

After wiping his face with a towel, Kotomine Kirei spoke.

"It's not something a priest should do to pry into other people's private affairs."

Toosaka Rin bounced back at his words.

"Indeed, but please forgive my curiosity as a disabled person with paralyzed lower body. The only things I can experience now are the stories I have read in books or heard from others."

"It's nothing special. He saved my sister and me back then, and now he's my fiancé. It's that simple."

Toosaka Rin said succinctly.

"Does your father know about this?"

Kotomine Kirei asked curiously.

"I didn't tell him, but I think he has no right to interfere with my rights in this matter."

Toosaka Rin said.

"Did you quarrel with the teacher again?"

Kotomine Kirei asked.

"No."

The girl denied it.

"That's when an altercation occurred."

The priest nodded.

Every time Toosaka Rin came over here, it was almost always for the same reason.

I remember the last time she wanted to join a school activity club, but was rejected by the teacher.

The teacher thought she should spend more energy on magic training.

The girl felt sad as she was drifting away from ordinary friends.

"Brother, if you don't welcome me here, I will go somewhere else."

"Okay, I won't preach anymore."

"Let me borrow your place. We need to chat."

"Go to the church lounge. No one will disturb you there."

"excuse me."

Sakura said politely before walking into the church.

"Can I ask what your relationship is with him?"

"I'm the same as my sister."

The three of them went to the lounge. Kotomine Kirei sat by the courtyard for a while. When he felt a little cold, he pushed his wheelchair to the record player and stopped to play it.

There was a faint sound of chatting in the lounge. Kotomine Kirei's ears moved and he vaguely heard some adventurous and interesting things.

It seemed like the boy had gone on adventures elsewhere over the years, met many interesting people and stories, and was now telling the two sisters, Rin and Sakura.

However, the other party seemed to have something urgent to do, and he didn't tell the story for long before he seemed to be preparing to leave.

"Squeak~"

The church door was pushed open at this time.

"Father, why are you here? Not over there in the courtyard, listening to your music that purifies your soul?"

A girl came in from outside, stood behind the priest and started asking.

"We have guests today."

Kotomine Kirei answered his daughter's question, and the door of the lounge next to him happened to be opened.

"I was wondering who was the guest, it turns out to be Aunt Lin!"

The little girl dressed as a nun was carrying a convenience bag from the supermarket. When she saw the people in the lounge, she greeted Toosaka Rin very politely.

"Little Karen, if you don't know how to call people, you don't have to. No one will think you are dumb."

As soon as she was addressed as aunt, Toosaka Rin's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This is Father Kotomine's daughter."

Sakura introduced the girl's identity to Broly.

"Her name is..."

"Karen Aldessia."

Before Sakura could say the name of the white-haired, golden-eyed little nun, Broly had already said her name based on the prompt information on the Crystal Palace panel.

"Um?!"

Hearing this, everyone around was a little surprised and looked over at once.

The little white-haired nun herself also looked over.

After seeing that the person who spoke was a little boy of about seven or eight years old, she asked, "Little brother, do you know me, your sister?"

Seven years ago, Karen Aldessia was taken back to her father's side. She had not been tempered by the original Destiny Line Monastery, which made her more like a normal girl.

At least, there is a look of doubt on her face now.

“We didn’t know each other before, but now that we’ve met, we know each other.”

"You are quite interesting to talk about."

The little nun looked at Toosaka Rin.

"Aunt Lin, is this a relative of yours?"

She asked.

The next moment, her cheek was pinched by the girl who stepped in front of her.

"I told you not to call me aunt."

"Isn't that what you asked me to call you before? You are my father's junior sister, so you are naturally older than me. It is only right for me to call you aunt."

"I asked you to call me sister, not aunt."

Only after Toosaka Rin pinched the little nun's face until it turned red did she change her tone and start calling her sister.

"Sister, you should be gentler."

Sakura came over to rub the little nun's red face and started to complain a little.

"Sister Sakura is so nice."

Karen Aldessia enjoyed the girl's hands rubbing her face.

But her actual age is two years younger than Sakura.

"If you stop calling my sister aunt, she won't pinch your face."

"If she hadn't pinched my face, Sister Ying wouldn't have gently rubbed my face, right?"

Kallen retorted.

In response, Sakura showed a somewhat helpless expression.

She and her sister both knew Father Kotomine's daughter, but for some reason, Kallen always liked to annoy her sister but was closer to her.

"So, is this child a relative of yours?"

Kallen asked again.

"Not a relative."

Sakura denied.

"He is my fiancé. According to your logic, you should call him uncle."

Toosaka Rin teased beside her.

Broly, who suddenly became a senior, said: "..."

"So, your shotacon nature has finally awakened, and you have already kidnapped the little boy, and are planning to commit further crimes against him?"

Kallen asked after taking a deep breath, but she had already taken out her cell phone and acted as if she was ready to call the police.

Toosaka Rin: “…”

"Ah, that's not true. Broly-nii only looks younger, but he's actually older than me."

After some explanation, Karen realized that the boy in front of her, who looked younger than herself, should be the future husband of her two older sisters, that is, her brother-in-law.

"Nice to meet you. I am Sister Kallen Aldessia from the Fuyuki Church. Nice to meet you."

The little nun became serious, picked up her nun's skirt, bowed slightly to the boy, performed formal courtesy gestures, and introduced herself seriously.

"My name is Broly, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, please ask."

"Are you willing to be my friend with the ultimate goal of becoming my wife?"

"Huh?!"×4
