Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 469: Miss Luo Qixi is recovering from illness

Broly had no idea what he should eat when he had a cold, but he had a mouth to ask.

So he soon got a variety of answers from the stall owners he knew in the vegetable market.

After selecting some reliable answers, Broly began to purchase ingredients and then went home to cook.

Luo Qixi, who had already lay down on the bed to rest, was awakened by the temptation of a unique fragrance.

When she opened her eyes, the boy was already waiting for her with a casserole and a bowl.

"What is this? It smells so strange."

Luo Qixi asked weakly. Her forehead was a little hot and she had a low fever.

“This is porridge, and I added a little mugwort to it.

I have inquired and found that many people who have caught a cold will get better soon after eating some mugwort."

"The herbal medicine for the cold-repelling potion. I remember this. It seems to be quite expensive, right?"

"It's very cheap. A bundle like this only costs six Lanoa copper coins."

Broly gestured with the amount of a handful, while Roxy's expression was a little subtle.

As the raw material for the best-selling medicines in the three northern countries, the output of Artemisia selengensis is not low and the price is not low either.

If six Lanoa copper coins are cheap, probably only rich people can say that.

"Didn't you bargain for the price with the person who sold it to you?"

"No."

Broly has no habit of bargaining, especially after teaming up with Orsted, he no longer worries about not having enough money.

"A small handful of herbs like this only costs four large copper coins. Although this amount of money may not be a big deal to you, you still have a long life ahead of you. It would be good to be a little more thrifty."

Roxy is a little nagging. Although she is petite, she gives people the feeling of a housekeeping mother. Broly feels that the girl is somewhat similar to Master Aqua, but is definitely not the same kind of person as Master Aqua.

If Master Aqua is a geyser that may erupt and a sea with unpredictable weather, then Roxy is a gurgling stream. There is no need to worry about mountain torrents. When getting along with each other, the girl can always be so gentle and considerate of others.

"Definitely next time."

Broly nodded in agreement, scooped out a bowl of hot porridge, picked up the spoon and asked the girl: "Do you want me to feed you?"

"No, I'd better do it myself."

Luo Qixi hesitated for a moment and then refused. Her self-esteem would not allow her to be fed by a child.

Broly didn't insist and put the bowl in the demon girl's hand.

"So warm."

Holding the bowl with both hands, Luo Qixi said.

"This is not warm, you have to be careful of the heat."

Broly reminded.

"Ok, I know."

The girl lifted the pigtails hanging in front of her body to the back and drank the porridge by blowing carefully.

The misty, rosy-faced demon girl blowing air while drinking porridge, every frame of which can be used as a wallpaper.

And if you add the boy who is sitting on the edge of the bed, supporting his chin with one hand and tilting his head to watch her blow on the porridge, the scene will be even more heartwarming.

After drinking a pot of hot porridge, Luo Qixi's forehead was slightly sweaty and she felt better.

However, when the boy came back after clearing the dishes, she felt a little uncomfortable.

“Broly…”

"what happened?"

"Are you going to sit and watch me all day long?"

The demon girl wrapped in the quilt asked.

"I have to look after you."

The girl's face turned even redder. She didn't know if it was because of her illness that made her particularly sensitive to people's gazes.

"I know, but you keep staring at me and it makes me concerned."

As Luo Qixi spoke, she subconsciously wrapped the quilt tighter around herself, but this was not because she was disgusted by the boy's gaze. It was just that if she didn't do so, she would feel a vague sense of shame lingering in her heart, which would make her feel ashamed.

"Oh, I know that. It's just like reading a book. You don't like people staring at you when you're reading."

Broly immediately looked away, and Loki breathed a sigh of relief, but the room soon fell into another strange silence.

Gradually, Luo Qixi was able to hear her own breathing and heartbeat. Unlike before when she could immerse herself in the world of books, there were no books for her to read here.

“Broly…”

Loki called the boy again.

"Ok?"

Broly responded but didn't turn around.

“Can you share with me what your life is like when you’re alone at home?”

Luo Qixi asked, trying to find a topic to break the quiet atmosphere, but she was also curious about the boy's life when he was alone.

“How do I live alone at home?”

Broly repeated the question as he thought about how to answer it.

"You can look at me now."

Luo Qixi found that the boy kept turning his head away and not looking at her. She felt speechless but also a little amused, so she couldn't help but remind him.

"Oh."

Broly looked over and had an idea in his mind.

"The thing I do most at home, if it's when I first settled here, is probably cleaning the house."

At that time, there were always thieves coming to his house, and cleaning up the garbage was the thing he did most.

That is to say, more and more people have disappeared here, and the thieves active in the Sharia area are probably aware of the dangers here, so gradually no one comes here.

"what about now?"

Luo Qixi didn't suspect anything. After all, the house was very clean, as she had just checked.

"What I do most now is thinking about how to make you, Luo Qixi, happier every day."

Broly speaks the truth.

"Eh?!"

Luo Qixi widened her eyes and asked, "Are you kidding me?"

"not at all."

"So, you're trying to make me happy every day?"

"Uh, there's none of that either."

"Ok?"

The demon girl became even more confused because of his denial.

"Because you don't need to be teased, Luo Qixi. You feel happy every day when we eat together, and you feel happy when we study together. Even when you shared with me that you became a Water Saint magician, and when you gave me a gift, you were very happy..."

Broly counted the increases in Roxy's happiness stats, causing the demon girl who was listening to him to huddle her head under the covers.

This kind of observation diary-like description is really a bit unfair. I was supposed to live alone, but it turned out that all the situations happened to me. What's going on?

[It would be better if it were a little bigger...]

The demon girl secretly glanced at the boy who was chattering incessantly about his own happy observation diary, and couldn't help but think in her heart.

"By the way, Luo Qixi, what about you? How is your life alone?"

Before Broly finished speaking, Roxy said nothing, but just hid in the quilt with a red face. It was only after Broly finished speaking and asked the question that she half poked her head out.

"As for me, I have been studying all the time, but before that, I was actually an adventurer."

The demon girl also told her own story. Since she was a child, she did not have the telepathic ability of the Migrudia tribe, which made her feel that she was out of tune with the other people in the village and was an alien. When she met a female magician passing by the village, she asked her to teach her magic.

"Bradikand was my first magic teacher. He was also an excellent adventurer and a very famous writer. I didn't want to stay in the same, dead village for the rest of my life, so I left the village alone when I was 14. I wanted to ask my teacher to take me away, but she left first..."

After leaving the village, Luo Qixi encountered deception, blackmail and extortion, which are commonplace in the Demon Continent.

Fortunately, the girl was lucky enough to meet three good teammates and form a team of adventurers, which enabled her to transform from a fledgling little girl into a mature adventurer.

"We were just like many other adventurer teams that wanted to make a name for ourselves. We wanted to become powerful adventurers, but we ended up taking on missions that were beyond our capabilities, and our captain was killed by a huge rock from a landslide..."

"Lokishi."

"I'm fine. These things happened a long time ago. It's just that it's a little sad to think about it now."

Because of the death of her companion, the team was disbanded and Luo Qixi was silent for a while.

"It wasn't until I saw the ships going to other continents in Winn Harbor that I remembered what Teacher Bradicand once told me. The scenery she saw during her travels was different from the Demon Continent, and the endless rice fields in her hometown made me want to go see those scenery..."

This is the original intention of Luo Qixi's trip, and then it is the story of the girl during the trip. Luo Qixi only picks out the interesting and important parts to tell.

In these adventures, her magic was praised by others and became her means of survival until she came to the Kingdom of Asura and met her former mentor.

As for what happened afterwards, Broly had no idea because the demon girl had fallen asleep.

The day passed quickly like this, and Luo Qixi, who was sleeping in a daze, was fed water several times.

That was when she felt thirsty and Broly helped her up and fed her.

When I woke up again, it was already night.

In front of her, there was another casserole of mugwort porridge.

Compared to the porridge in the morning, there are some more side dishes, which are all things that are more appetizing and can be eaten when you have a cold.

Luo Qixi's fever had subsided and her appetite had improved. She ate up all the food the boy had prepared.

"Luo Qixi, do you want to take a bath? I heard that hot springs are good for colds. Although I don't have a hot spring at home, I do have a bathtub. If I put hot water in it, it will be almost the same as a hot spring."

The demon girl sniffed. Although the smell was not very strong, she still had some smell due to sweating, so she did not refuse.

"Do you need a back rub? I'm very good at it."

Perhaps today's communication deepened their relationship. By the time Luo Qixi reacted, she was already soaking in the bathtub.

Next to him was a boy with a white towel tied around his waist. His body was even better than when he was wearing clothes, and he had muscles that looked very strong.

And this was not what Lokixi was most concerned about. What Lokixi was most concerned about was the furry tail wrapped around the boy's waist. She really didn't expect that the boy was actually an orc.

Of course, Broly explained that he was a Saiyan, but Roxy had never heard of the name of this race, so she thought it was a branch of the Orcs.

Before Broly was about to add all kinds of spices that were said to be good for colds into the bathtub, Roxy stopped him in time.

"Are you preparing to make soup or take a bath?"

Faced with the demon girl's refusal, Broly had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​adding something to the bath water.

"Luo Qixi, I also know how to give you a massage. Do you want to try it? It might be good for your cold."

However, he had other ideas and asked the girl after she warmed up in the soak.

"Eh?"

Loki didn't understand what the massage technique he was talking about was, so Broly swam behind her, grabbed her shoulders with his two little hands, and started massaging the acupoints there.

"Woo~"

In just a moment, Luo Qixi's body shivered, as if she was electrocuted, and the pores on her skin opened.

"Who did you learn this from?"

The overly stimulating feeling made Luo Qixi react a little too much. The demon girl now shrank her neck, wrapped herself in a white bath towel, and hid in the corner of the bathtub and asked.

"My master."

"Who is your master?"

"Her name is Aqua. She taught me my massage techniques, but of course I've improved on them."

Broly answered honestly.

"Is it a woman?"

“It’s the goddess.”

"She must be very beautiful, then?"

“It’s very beautiful.”

Broly nodded.

"Where is she now?"

Roxy felt that after she recovered from her illness, she had to find the other party and have a good talk with him. What did the other party teach Broly?
"She is not in this world, but in another world."

Hearing this, Luo Qixi was stunned. Is he dead? !

"sorry."

"Hey, why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden?"

"Broly, you must miss your master a lot, right?"

"Well, now that I think of it, I do miss you a little."

Broly nodded. Considering the length of time he had spent in this world, Aqua was indeed his master whom he had not contacted for a long time.

"Come to think of it, Luo Qixi, you are a bit similar to my master, both have blue hair, and are good at water magic."

"Then can I let you massage me to ease your longing?"

Luo Qixi asked.

"I think that should be okay?"

Broly wasn't sure either.

"Then, come on."

Loki came closer again and turned her back to the boy in the bathtub.

Broly didn't understand why the girl suddenly retreated to a corner and then came back to give him a massage.

However, now that things have come to this, I will still press it as a sign of respect.

"Uh-huh~"

Although I haven't given anyone a massage for many years, I didn't feel too unfamiliar with it when I did it again.

The demon girl's body soon softened in his hands, and she let out a suppressed and comfortable sound from her mouth.

Before she knew it, the big towel was floating on the water, and Lokixi's body went limp, her hands on the edge of the bathtub, breathing heavily.

"Okay, I've evened out your Qi and blood."

Broly clapped his hands, looking very satisfied with the masterpiece he had created.

. . . .

The next day, when Reine ran over to see Lokisi, she saw the demon girl leaning on the back of the bed, being fed breakfast by the boy with a spoon.

"It seems like he took good care of you!"

The white cat girl was not an ordinary person at all. She jumped in from the window and said to Roxy.

I was careless and didn't dodge, so I was seen being fed.

Luo Qixi blushed and quickly took the spoon and started eating.

"She's still a little weak, I want to take care of her for a while longer."

"Ha, I just came to see her, not to take her back. Little Luo Qixi can stay with you as long as she wants."

The white cat girl doesn’t care at all. If she really feels lonely, she can just come over and sleep on the floor.

"I'll go back as soon as I recover!"

The cold required Luo Qixi to rest for three days, and during these three days of care, her happiness value increased by more than twenty points.

Just when she was about to return to the school dormitory and stay at Broly's house on her last night, the Crystal Love jewelry at Wood Workshop was completed after more than a month.
