Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 358: Opportunities for Non-Staff Members to Become Regular Staff
In the wilderness, a buzzing sound gradually became louder, but this was not the sound made by mosquitoes and flies, but the sound of countless silk threads that were stretched taut and vibrating at high speed and spread out in the night.

"Esdeath, it's been half a year since our last fight. I wonder how much your strength has improved now?"

Merad waved his hands, released the silk threads of the Cross Tail to the surroundings, set up a series of terrifying cutting traps, and asked Esdeath who ran out to fight with her long legs bare and wearing only pajamas.

"That is of course a great improvement. My puppets are no longer so easily destroyed by your threads."

The ground where Esdeath's bare feet touched condensed into ice, and within two or three breaths the ice spread to an area of ​​more than fifty meters around her.

Just at this moment a small dark cloud in the sky blocked the moonlight, and only bursts of freezing sounds could be heard in the dark wilderness, and the cold fog began to spread.

When the dark clouds passed and the moonlight spread over the earth again, Centaur ice cavalrymen with spears appeared on the frozen ground. They were guarding Esdeath like they were guarding a queen.

Esdeath raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Merad, and the Ice Cavalry prepared to charge.

"Go~"

As their queen finished speaking, the Frost Hoofs began to run, fearlessly charging towards Merad, which was full of cutting traps in front of them.

"Turn into ice slag!"

In response, Maillard simply waved his hand, and the high-speed vibrating silk thread flew towards the ice cavalry.

"Hiss, hiss~"

A sharp sound of sawing ice was heard, and the charging Ice Cavalry was cut in half at the waist. Broly and others who were also chasing here just happened to see the Ice Cavalry's body being cut in half.

"Huh, how are these toys different from before?"

Maillard smiled. Although Esdeath's ice cavalry was enough to crush an imperial regular army of 10,000 people head-on, the other party used the same ability to clear out miscellaneous soldiers to deal with him, which could only be said to be too much of an underestimation of himself.

"Is it really?"

Esdeath smiled in response, and the ice cavalrymen whose bodies were cut open suddenly began to grow new ice from the broken ends, as if they were growing new bodies.

As for the half of the icy body that fell to the ground, it turned into frost energy again and merged into the frozen ground. The frost energy was recovered and re-invested into the original body.

Looking at the rapidly recovering ice cavalry, Maillard frowned and asked, "Has your frost ability increased again?"

"It's just that the frost energy circulation has become stronger. A while ago, I killed a mystic who wanted to assassinate me, and happened to learn some secret skills from him. I learned them and integrated them into my ice cavalry, allowing them to gain the ability to recover in a cold environment.

Of course, it's not just the repair ability. Every time after recovering from damage, my ice cavalry will increase the thickness of its body.

In other words, their defensive capabilities have become stronger. Although there is an upper limit to the increased defense, it is enough to improve their combat capabilities."

Esdeath's tone was quite regretful. If the defense was infinitely stacked, the ice cavalry she summoned would be unmatched.

"Tear~"

The cutting thread strikes again.

"Clap~"

Although the Ice Cavalry's body was still cut off, the cutting time was slower than before, and it was indeed much more difficult to cut.

And this is not the most desperate thing. The most desperate thing is that the ice cavalry whose body was cut off again recovered again, and the color of the ice body began to deepen, and the defense was enhanced again.

"Ice troopers, ravage her!"

A group of ice puppets holding spears began to chase and shoot Maillard.

"What an amazing ability."

Broly was a little surprised. Since Esdeath (the poor guy with low happiness points) rarely spoke in the group chat room, he didn't know much about the abilities that the girl from the northern ethnic group now possessed.

"It's indeed amazing, but Sister Esdeath, I've always felt that this ability is a bit useless."

After hearing what the boy said, Hei Tong spoke.

"Useless, how could that be? Aren't you chasing after Maillard?"

Broly was a little confused.

"That's because Merad doesn't have the ability to instantly destroy the Ice Cavalry. If it was Sister Cole's Thundergod Armor, I'm afraid it would only take one thunder to eliminate the frost energy in the Ice Cavalry's body. Not to mention that Sister Esdeath is chasing you. Brother Broly, do you think your energy bombs can't eliminate a group of Ice Cavalry?"

"Uh, I don't know. We'll have to try."

Broly was more pragmatic, and he immediately gathered a little energy on his fingertips, and shot a ray of energy towards an ice cavalryman in OB at the edge of the battlefield.

In just a moment, the ice cavalry, which had become so hard that it was difficult to cut, turned into a cloud of water vapor and was actually vaporized from a solid state to a gas by the energy bomb.

Esdeath glanced over here but didn't say anything. She waved her hand and the ground frozen by frost condensed into an ice cavalry.

Esdeath has always wanted to defeat Broly and become the boy's master, but she also knows her own limitations. She still remembers the damage caused by the energy bomb when Broly left more than five years ago.

Although Esdeath can now cause similar levels of damage, that is only possible in the cold environment of the polar regions. She relies on the power of nature to create an oversized ice puppet she calls General Binglan, grabs small icebergs and throws them out with all her might to achieve the terrain destruction effect.

And she has not even surpassed Broly from more than five years ago, let alone Broly now. Although Broly's appearance has not changed much, Esdeath, who has close contact with the boy, can feel that the little master who owns himself is more powerful than before.

"Damn, these annoying guys."

Merad was a little embarrassed. It was not like she had not sparred with Esdeath before. Although she had never defeated Esdeath, Esdeath had to fight her herself to defeat her. She did not expect that in this sudden sparring match, she could not even beat the ice toy that the opponent had casually condensed.

"Don't underestimate me, let me show you my moves!"

Maillard dodged a stab from an ice spear, pulled out a bottle from his arms, and inserted it directly into the groove of the modified cross tail.

"Dissolving liquid is attached, and the wire blades are dancing wildly!"

The cross-tail silk threads, which were attached with a high concentration of solvent extracted from the stomach of a dangerous species with extremely strong digestive ability, had the effect of breaking armor at this moment. The wildly dancing wire blades were like the high-speed rotating blades of an ice crusher, crushing all the ice cavalrymen who were besieging her into slag.

But that's all. This world is not about a certain thief king. There is no domineering setting. Merad, who has the ability of the String-String Fruit, is just a sister in front of Esdeath, who uses her ice power in a way similar to the Biscuit Fruit.

The effect of its imperial weapon is not even as good as a flamethrower. At least it can offset some of the frost energy in the ice cavalry's body.

Of course, ordinary people using flamethrowers would probably be chopped to death by the ice cavalry before they could burn the ice cavalry.

Unless you are using the flame-radiating imperial weapon [Rubigand], which can spray out high temperatures created by an imperial weapon that is difficult to extinguish, its properties can restrain Esdeath's ice puppet.

But this is only theoretical restraint. In fact, after drinking multiple devil essences exchanged for happiness points, the frost power in Esdeath's body has surpassed many super dangerous species living in the polar regions.

If she were to fight against a user of imperial weapons whose attributes restrained her, even if the enemy was exhausted, he might not be able to kill the number of ice cavalry that Esdeath could summon.

"How is it, are you convinced?"

The ice cavalry came back carrying Merad, whose clothes were a little torn, and Esdeath asked the assassin leader, who might still have some physical strength left, but it was definitely not enough to support further high-intensity combat with the other party.

"I accept. Then you taste it first, and I'll taste it later. I can even eat your saliva."

Maillard didn't care at all about who tasted the boy first.

"Do you need me to teach you how to taste it?"

she asked again.

"I don't need you to teach me. It's more fun for me to figure it out on my own."

"Ok."

Maillard shrugged and was put down by the Ice Trooper.

"I have used up too much energy. I am a little exhausted now. Can you carry me back?"

The tear-mole girl who was slumped on the ground opened her arms and begged the girl who was only wearing pajamas and showing her long legs.

"How about I let my ice trooper carry you?"

Esdeath rolled her eyes and asked.

"Forget it. I'm afraid it'll hurt if I stick something cold on my stomach."

Maillard immediately got up from the ground. This was her habit as an assassin. She would always keep three points of strength for herself.

In other words, he knew clearly that Esdeath would not kill him. Otherwise, when Merad was sure that he could not defeat the enemy, he would choose to follow the assassin's way and flee thousands of miles away if he missed the target.

Under the moonlight, the two girls walked back together.

"What a wonderful battle!"

Broly praised Esdeath who had returned.

"Come on, a battle of this magnitude in front of you is probably just like a child playing house."

Esdeath rolled her eyes at Broly, then picked him up and started to smell him. Suddenly, she remembered a shameless female elf who had made a misunderstanding in the Crystal Palace group chat room many years ago, so she attacked Broly's mouth.

The details cannot be described, but it was drawn when separated.

"thanks for treatment!"

After swallowing the saliva she had plundered, Esdeath expressed her gratitude.

"You're welcome."

Broly smacked his lips. This kind of thing was something he had rarely experienced. "It's my turn."

Merad didn't hesitate to take Broly from Esdeath and prepared to taste him.

"Wait, didn't you lose?"

Myne stepped forward to stop it.

"Losing only means delaying the tasting, but it doesn't mean not tasting it."

Maillard said as a matter of course.

"Or do you want to discuss with me and decide the order of tasting?"

she asked again.

"Woo~"

Main was speechless. As a long-range sniper, she was no match for Maillard.

"Gulu gulu..."

Broly was attacked again.

Unlike Esdeath, who has almost no experience, Merad is quite skilled in this area.

It's like an experienced driver driving fast with a novice passenger on the Akina Mountains, and various seemingly thrilling cornering skills are demonstrated by Broly.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be obsessed with this thrilling and fast-moving technology, but unfortunately Broly only felt a little itchy.

After he couldn't stand Maillard's tickling of his palate anymore, he pushed the other's tongue out.

Listening to the sound of Broly scratching his palate, the girl with teardrop mole licked her lips with some satisfaction.

And through the skills she used on the other person this time, she also confirmed that her aversion to men did not work on him.

Perhaps it was because the memory of being defeated by Broly when she was a child was too deep, which caused Broly to leave an extremely deep impression in her mind.

All in all, it’s a nice first taste of the opposite sex.

"Did you know that the human body has many scent glands? The sweat glands are in the armpits, and some people also have scent in their RY area."

Maillard said as she started to act, she was serious about tasting the flavor.

"Some species, such as cats, remember the smell of their own kind by sniffing their own GM."

"Wait, what are you doing, are you a feline?"

Maillard's increasingly outrageous actions were stopped.

"I'm not a cat, but I've been trained to taste drugs, and I can remember various smells through my tongue. And I'm going to learn the way cats remember smells to remember Broly's smell."

"Bang~"

Merad was hit on the head by a punch from Esdeath.

"I can't do this kind of thing, so I forbid you to do it."

The girl said so.

"After I transformed into a beast king, I became a big cat..."

Esdeath looked over, and her cold gaze weakened Leone's voice.

"But I remember that I am still a human being, and humans cannot be without limits."

she says.

“Is there really such a way to remember smells?”

Broly was a little curious and asked Merad who turned to grab his tail and smelled the smell.

"Why, do you want to learn?"

Maillard didn't mind being the guest.

"No, I'm just a little curious. I don't need to use smell to remember people, because I can remember the aura of each of you, as long as we haven't been apart for too long and your aura has not changed too much."

Broly shook his head and said seriously.

"By the way, Brother Broly, how many days can you stay in this world this time?"

Tsukushi asked out of curiosity.

"In a few days, I may leave the day after tomorrow, because I need to build the interior space of the Crystal Palace, find a new wife, and accumulate more happiness points."

Broly answered honestly.

"Eh, so short?"

The girls were surprised, and Mine's eyes widened as she asked, "Then why did you stay in Tosaka's world for so many days?"

"Oh, that's because I met a new wife over there. The reason why I'm eager to build the interior space of the Crystal Palace is because my new wife in that world was kidnapped by bad guys, so I plan to build a shelter for everyone to avoid danger at any time."

"So that's it."

The two sisters with double pupils looked as if they were suddenly enlightened and nodded their heads.

"Can we go in, too?"

Cornelia asked curiously.

"Uh, no."

Broly looked at the girls who were his wives with some regret.

"It's okay, Broly. We are very strong and can protect ourselves."

Seeing this, Cornelia began to comfort the boy.

"Yes."

Tsukushi and Bonnie patted their chests in agreement, but the effects of their pats were completely different.

One is a little turbulent, the other is calm.

"Wait, then we can find you a new wife in this world, isn't that enough?"

Maillard suggested.

"That one may not be enough. I have to pay a stay fee to stay in this world, 1000 happiness points per day."

"what?!"

Esdeath was shocked. Broly staying in this world for a few days would be enough for her to exchange for new Demon's Essence, even though she no longer drank that stuff because her body had reached the limit of the amount of Demon's Essence it could carry unless she became stronger again.

"Then find a few more. The Great Western Territory is so big and now it is under our control. I think it should be more than enough to find a few wives."

"I think it's risky. Didn't they only look for a few of us before? And Miss Maillard, you're not one of them!"

Hill, the girl with glasses, knows how to stab someone, and she hurt Maillard a little.

"Hey, Broly, how does your Crystal Palace determine whether someone is your wife?"

“It says it’s a figurine.”

"What is the figurine?"

"Some clay model dolls, maybe some plastic model dolls."

"Hey, can we make ourselves one of these?"

Broly tried to ask the Crystal Palace in his consciousness, and soon a reply message appeared in his mind.

[To expand the number of official members of the Crystal Palace, please build a figurine area in the internal space of the Crystal Palace. Tip: A wall of otakus, three apartments in Beijing, this official member quota expansion service, each quota will consume a large number of happiness points, and the expanded official members do not have the benefits of joining the Crystal Palace, but have the ability to produce happiness points after joining the Crystal Palace. ]

Broly said it literally.

"To put it simply, it can't be done now."

Akahime concluded.

"But later, after finding many, many wives, upgrading the Crystal Palace, and getting a huge amount of happiness points, I was able to do it."

Hei Tong added to her sister's words.

Maillard was shocked. He didn't expect that a wife in an external position would have the opportunity to become a permanent wife.

"Looking for, we need to find Broly a new wife!"
