Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 467: Giving and Rewarding, People Preparing to Give Gifts

"Teacher Jinus, did I ask a stupid question?"

"It's not stupid, but this question is too basic, Luo Qixi, do you know what is important to a magician?"

"Knowledge."

The demon girl answered without hesitation.

"Other than that?"

Jinus asked again.

"Innate magical talent?"

Luo Qixi was a little unsure.

"Talent is indeed important, but there are high and low talents. Does that mean people without high talent cannot delve into magic?"

"Sorry, Sensei, I can't think of anything else."

Loki lowered her head.

"You have been an adventurer before, right? Then think about what an adventurer needs besides being excellent."

"Well, that's certainly a teammate you can trust."

"anything else?"

"Good weapons and armor are also important."

Jinas nodded and said, "Similarly, for magicians, external assistance is also important. There are many ways to solve the problem of insufficient magic power.

You can burn magic circles to lower the magic power requirements for casting a certain spell, or you can make some potions that temporarily increase magic power to temporarily increase the total amount of magic power you can mobilize.

In addition to these two methods, there is a simpler and more effective way, which is to replace a wand with a better quality one.

Everyone's total amount of magic power may vary, and this can be compensated by external objects.

By the way, Luo Qixi, the wand you are using now should not be a very good one, right? "

Loki nodded.

"Then the solution to your lack of magic power is very simple. Just get a better wand.

As for the selection of a magic wand, let's put it this way: the better the materials and craftsmanship used, the greater the enhancement the wand can provide to the magician.

Of course, the price is higher in comparison.

But you…"

Jinas paused here and looked at the boy behind the demon girl.

"I think you don't need to worry about this problem."

Realizing what the teacher in front of her was thinking, Roxy waved her hand quickly: "This is my own problem, please don't involve Broly."

Loki knew that if she proposed it, Broly would definitely give her a very good magic wand because of his generous character. But if she just accepted it with a clear conscience, it would be too shameless.

Even if they were real lovers, they shouldn't accept overly expensive gifts before they became a family. What's more, the relationship between her and Broly was just that of a guard and an employer, at most, they were close friends.

"Okay, Luo Qixi, I don't care about your personal affairs. I have answered your question. Do you have any other questions?"

Jinus could see the self-esteem of the disciple in front of him. Although he knew that Roxy and Broly had a very good relationship, since the girl had no intention of breaking the window paper, it was not his business as a teacher.

"No more, Mr. Jinus."

Loki shook her head.

"When you are able to release water saint-level magic, remember to come and tell me, and I will put it on your credits."

Being able to become a water saint-level magician before graduation is definitely a huge plus, but Jinas did not forget to mention it to the girl who was leaving.

"Thank you, Mr. Jinus. I will come and let you know when I can cast Water Saint-level magic."

Luo Qixi bowed and thanked him at the door, then left with the boy beside her.

"Luo Qixi, do you want a wand?"

Walking on the corridor bathed in the sunset light, Broly asked directly to the demon girl next to him.

"I want it, but don't send it."

Luo Qixi nodded, but then shook her head.

"why?"

The boy was a little confused.

"Do you know what is the most important thing when it comes to getting along with friends?"

Luo Qixi stopped, turned around and looked at him and asked.

"What is it?"

Broly looked at the girl in confusion.

“It’s equal.”

The demon girl, whose lovely profile was illuminated by the setting sun, gave the answer with a serious and earnest expression.

“Once the value provided to each other by two people in a relationship is not equal, two situations will occur.

That is, one party will feel inferior for not being able to give more in return to the other party, or one party will feel at ease with the other party's extra efforts. "

"Luo Qixi, you can rest assured that my dedication to you is completely voluntary."

Broly is not stingy in his efforts to conquer the targets recognized by Crystal Palace.

"But I can't accept your efforts with peace of mind."

Luo Qixi's values ​​do not allow her to ignore the efforts of people who are good to her.

"Then you can repay me!"

Broly took a step forward.

"What do you want in return?"

Although the boy was a head shorter than her, Luo Qixi couldn't help but take a step back.

She thought of the bold reward she had given before, pursed her lips, and her face began to feel hot.

Fortunately, the sunset light was quite bright tonight, and the light concealed the blush on her face.

If he asks me to kiss him in return, should I kiss him or not?

Luo Qixi became a little nervous, and at the same time, a subtle idea came to her mind.

[Just a kiss can get a good wand, isn't it a good deal? 】

If the boy asked for this kind of return, Luo Qixi thought, she probably would not refuse.

While the demon girl was daydreaming, Broly had already stated his request for return: "Luo Qixi, if you can feel happy, it is the best reward for me."

"Eh?!"

Why do I feel a little lost inside?

"Happiness is such an empty concept, and my happiness won't do you any good, Broly. Please don't use this as an excuse to be nice to me. If you do that, I'll really feel pressured."

Luo Qixi turned around and walked quickly. Her two ponytails appeared light green under the light, swaying behind the demon girl.

"pressure?"

Broly looked at the Crystal Palace panel and saw that Roxy Miglodia's happiness value had risen by two points. He was really confused as to whether this was pressure or happiness.

"Then I won't give you the wand. Can you figure it out yourself?"

Broly followed and asked.

"Ah."

Luo Qixi responded, and her happiness value did not decrease.

Obviously, she is not the type of person who says one thing and means another.

"Then can I give you something else?" Broly asked again.

"As long as it's not too precious and I can afford to pay it back."

Luo Qixi did not refuse.

"That's good."

Broly nodded. His crystal palace still contained the ore that he had dug out this week and had been gathering dust for a long time.

According to the mining process, all Luo Qixi needs to do is pay him the mining money.

As for the cost of making the magic ornament, unless it is urgent, it will probably only cost 50 Lanoa gold coins.

Luo Qixi doesn't earn much now, simply because she is a student and doesn't become an adventurer. But if she becomes an adventurer, the girl will definitely be able to earn this money if she works hard and takes on more high-paying commissions.

Broly took off for the Kingdom of Nailis that night and found the Wood Magic Tool Workshop again, and placed an order for the Crystal Love that had been canceled last time.

However, when it comes to making magic accessories, he had some customized requirements. The earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and anklets were all made to be more suitable for demon girls to wear.

In addition, the mineral part that was originally going to be used for private purposes was replaced with two hair chains. I believe it will look good when tied on Loki's two braids.

"Sir, we have recorded your request. As for the production time, it will probably take more than a month. May I ask where you live? Once the Crystal Love jewelry is ready, we will notify you."

Broly answered the other party about his residence in Sharia, which made the person in charge of Wood Workshop a little stunned.

If it's local, the notification is simple, but cross-border?
"You don't need to notify me. I will come here again in a month."

Broly also knew that it was not reliable to ask the other party to notify across borders, so he said he would wait and see the situation at that point.

"Then, welcome to visit us next time!"

The person in charge bowed respectfully to him, and Broly left the workshop.

The next day, Luo Qixi asked him for leave.

"Reine and I are going to explore the labyrinth and hunt some monsters to get magic stones."

The most expensive material for making a magic wand is magic stone. Luo Qixi plans to rely on her own strength to hunt monsters in the maze and obtain magic stones of high enough quality. According to her plan, the cost of making a magic wand can be reduced by more than half.

"In the meantime, Broly, go hire new guards to protect you instead of us."

Although Roxy has been a guard for eight months and has not encountered any attacks, Broly is a rich boy after all, so his safety still needs to be considered.

"Can I go with you to the maze?"

Broly asked.

"The maze is too dangerous for you now. You should stay in Sharia."

Luo Qixi decisively rejected the boy's request to go with her.

"I'm not afraid of mazes or anything like that, because I'm very powerful."

Broly said quickly.

"Yes, yes, Broly, you are the most powerful. However, if you are really that powerful, you should not have to ask us to be your guards."

Cat girl Reine crossed her arms behind her head, and what she said made Broly give up the idea of ​​showing off his strength.

He invited Luo Qixi to be his bodyguard by playing the role of a weak and helpless rich young man. If this character setting was gone, would the girl stop being his bodyguard?
"Well, you two should pay more attention to your safety."

Broly had no choice but to give up and go with them openly.

"Broly, you have to take good care of yourself too."

Luo Qixi instructed him.

"See you when we get back."

Reine waved her hand and left with Roxy.

As for Broly, he changed his clothes and followed secretly.

Just because he couldn't follow openly didn't stop him from following secretly.

Of course, as a cat-beast, Reine has excellent perception abilities, so we can’t get too close.

Water is generated, refractive surface unfolds, optical invisibility!

Water waves were rippling around Broly.

The no-underwear water flow holy light technique that I had never learned before was figured out in this world.

During his time at the magic university, Broly learned a few things by accompanying his parents in their studies.

Spreading a water film around oneself to refract the surrounding light and thus achieve the effect of invisibility is just one of them.

When in the air, if the people below did not know in advance that there was someone in the air, it would be almost impossible to find him concealing his breath and flying in the sky.

. . . .

"The blue goddess descended from the sky, wielding her staff to freeze the world, the icy realm!"

The environment of the maze is not suitable for using fire magic, but ice magic derived from water magic is more suitable.

"Well done, Luo Qixi, leave the rest to me, meow!"

Roxy was in charge of controlling the monsters that were attracted, while Reine used her iron fists and claws to harvest them.

Wherever she passed, the bodies of large numbers of monsters that were controlled by Loki's freezing field were easily torn into pieces by her.

The two of them worked in perfect harmony, and even level A maze monsters were easily hunted by them.

"The magic stones have been collected, Luo Qixi, when will we go back?"

After the battle, when collecting monster materials, the cat girl asked.

"Wait a little longer. I want to make more money in this maze."

Lokishi answered.

"But Renée is stinking now. I really want to go back and take a shower, then lie down on the soft bed to rest and sleep. In the morning, I will go to Broly's house to eat the delicious breakfast food."

The white cat girl complained. As a cat beastman, she liked cleanliness much better than some dog beastmen named Ted Ludia.

"I want to make more money so I can buy Broly some gifts when I get back."

Roxy explains why she continues to hunt other monsters in the maze after collecting the high-quality magic stones she needs.

"On weekdays, I am often taken care of by him. As the weather is getting colder, I plan to buy him a set of warm clothes."

"Hey, what kind of clothes would cost so much money?"

"It's clothing made of salamander leather."

"Ah, you actually want to buy such an expensive gift?"

"If the gift you want to give is cheaper than the daily necessities of the other person, isn't it meaningless?"

"That's right, then Reine should come and help as well."

"what?"

"Reine is also well taken care of. When he treats you to a meal, he always treats me as well. And because of his offerings to my tribe, other students also offer tributes to my tribe. It is indeed time to repay him. So, Reine, just be patient and help you earn enough money to buy clothes made of salamander leather, meow."

"Reine~"

"Why, little Luo Qixi, are you so moved by me that you're about to cry?"

"No, I just want to ask you, do you want to take a shower?"

"Hey, how do I wash it?"

"I can generate hot water with fire magic and water magic. Although it's not good to consume extra magic power in the maze, as long as I find a pit to heat the water, don't cast spells continuously, and use magic stones to restore magic power, it should be no problem."

"That's great, meow~"

While Roxy and Reine found a pit to fill with water and take a bath, Broly, who came with them, quietly cleared the surrounding maze monsters that might come to disturb them.

Three days passed quickly. Broly returned to Shallia ahead of schedule, while Roxy came over a day after returning to Shallia.

"Broly, I'm back. Long time no see. Do you want to go shopping together?"
