Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 472 Curse and Showdown

"She's just looking forward to your growing up. She didn't say that she'd refuse to be your wife if you didn't grow up, right?"

Orsted asked.

"Luo Qixi never said that, but I know that she likes someone who is taller than her, looks at least older than her, and is more mature, not someone who looks like a child like me now."

While getting along with Lokisi, the demon girl would occasionally tell him about her expectations and imaginations about what he would look like in the future.

"When you grow up, I will sit on your tall and strong lap, rest my head on your chest, and listen to your heartbeat."

"If you want to do that, you can do it now. I don't mind."

"It's really weird to sit on your lap now. You should rest your head on my lap."

It was a bright summer afternoon, and the interaction took place between the two people who were reading books under the shade of a tree in the college.

"Hey~"

Orsted sighed and asked, "Can we use tough measures to make the other party submit?"

"No."

Broly glared at the Dragon God and gave a direct negative answer.

"What about cheating?"

Orsted seemed not to notice Broly's glare and continued to ask questions.

"This is a way, but I don't want to deceive Luo Qixi."

"You haven't lied before?"

Orsted was referring to the incident of tricking the demon girl into becoming a bodyguard.

“It’s just that when we first met, the deceptive tactics didn’t make me feel uncomfortable.

However, when I wanted to formally invite Luo Qixi to join my Crystal Palace and become my wife, I didn't want to continue using deceptive means.

This is not the right thing to do and it could make her unhappy.”

Orsted looked at Broly and could somewhat understand the boy's thoughts.

The more a person values ​​friendship, the easier it is for him to be bound by friendship.

Once upon a time, he and Pergius were good friends, but after knowing that the Dragon's Secret Treasure in Pergius' body was the necessary key to open the world of nothingness, Orsted rarely had more close interactions with Pergius in other rounds.

The reason is simple: he is afraid that after investing a lot of emotions in him, one day he will not be able to kill Pergius.

He, who was hated by the dragon clan, was like this, not to mention the boy who had a purer and more straightforward personality.

After just two short years of getting along with the Miglodia demon girl, Broly no longer wants to do anything that can be accomplished by simple deception.

"If you don't want to deceive her, what do you want to do?"

Orsted asked.

Broly thought for a moment, and then answered: "I will confront Roxy and tell her that I cannot grow up in this world, and then ask her if she is willing to accept me as someone who cannot grow up."

"What if she refuses?"

"Then I can only accept this result. I won't bother her next time and continue my new journey of searching. There are still some places in this world that we haven't visited yet, right?"

Orsted took a look at the boy and said from the bottom of his heart: "Broly, you are more free and easy than I thought."

"Orsted, stop joking. If I were really rejected by Luo Qixi, I would definitely feel bad for a long time."

"But no matter how uncomfortable you are, you won't force Lokisi Migludia, right?"

"I just think that her being happy and alive is more important than agreeing to join Crystal Palace and become my wife."

Hearing this, Orsted's heart was touched. He only hoped that the demon girl in this round could be more sensible.

Otherwise, he will have to increase the strength of his opponent in the next round, such as guiding him to dislike tall and mature-looking opposite sex, so that girls will like Broly, a little boy.

. . . .

"Woo~"

"What's wrong, Lokishi?"

In the single teacher dormitory, the white cat girl asked the demon girl, although Reine had her own dormitory, she always liked to stay in Roxy's teacher dormitory.

"Nothing, I just suddenly felt a little cold."

Loki rubbed the goose bumps on her arms and answered the cat girl's question while looking at the tightly closed window with some confusion.

"It's summer now, is it still cold?"

The cat girl was a little confused.

"Did someone curse him?"

She said jokingly.

In response to this, Luo Qixi's expression became serious.

"Hey, I was just kidding."

"But it's possible, isn't it? Lanlieta was cursed by someone before."

"Hey, who is Lanlieta?"

"My former roommate before you and I became roommates."

Lokishi answered.

"Oh, it's that tall guy!"

The cat girl remembered that Roxy's former roommate was not so much a female magician as she was a strong woman of the tomboy type, the kind who was definitely better with a sword than a magic wand.

"Then do you know the magic to cleanse the curse?"

The white cat girl came over and asked.

"No, I plan to go find someone who knows tomorrow."

"Who should I look for? If I remember correctly, most of the people who can check and remove curses are priests of the Miris Church, and those guys look down on us as foreigners."

“But there are exceptions.”

"for example?"

"Like Filia."

"This name seems familiar to me."

Reine fell into deep thought, as if trying to dig out some memories from her empty head.

"A Miris believer who privately provides treatment services to aliens. I heard that she is now an apprentice priest at the Miris branch church in Sharia."

Luo Qixi said that Filia could be considered her friend, and she learned healing magic from her when she was in the second grade.

The next day, Luo Qixi met with her old friend, the apprentice priestess Miss Filia. After examining the demon girl's body, she gave her answer: "Luo Qixi, you do have signs of being cursed."

"Oh, am I really cursed?"

Luo Qixi's eyes widened. She was just being cautious and came over to check, but she didn't expect to get a confirmed answer from Filia.

"Yes, but it's a little strange. The traces of this curse are very shallow, as if it was cast just yesterday. Moreover, according to my judgment, this should be a curse that will only be activated when certain conditions are met. Luo Qixi, do you have any suspects?"

Filia asked seriously.

"I don't have anyone to suspect. Can this curse be broken?"

Loki's mind flashed back to the time when she met Orsted again when she went to Broly's house two days ago.

And that silver-haired guy who exudes a dangerous aura is very suspicious.

But after all, he was Broly's friend, so Roxy could only keep this doubt in her heart and asked Filia in front of her.

"I can help you with some purification magic."

Filia said as she used purification magic on the demon girl.

However, her strength was too weak.

Even if it was just a thought that Orsted had, the curse-like effect it produced was not something she could solve.

"I'm sorry, but the person who cast this curse is probably much stronger than me. I can't remove the curse on you."

"It's okay, I'll find a way to solve it myself."

In response, Loki thanked Filia and left with a heavy heart.

[What should I do? Should I tell Broly about this? Will Broly think that I am picking on his friend? Is the person who cursed me really Broly's friend? Wait, I don't know if it was the other person who cursed me. No, that person is very suspicious. The probability of him cursing me is very high. But Broly seemed to have told me that he was suspicious because of the curse...]

Just when Loki was in mixed feelings, wondering whether or not to tell Broly about the curse on herself, she met a Saiyan boy who also looked worried at the door of her teacher's dormitory.

"Broly, why are you here?"

[Could it be that he knew about the curse? ]

Luo Qixi couldn't help but think.

"Luo Qixi, I have something to tell you."

Broly was a little nervous, he didn't know whether Roxy would reject him.

"That's right, I have something to tell you too."

Loki also said that she felt that she still had to explain the situation to Broly. After all, what if that terrifying man named Orsted was actually using Broly?
"Hey, what do you want to say?"

"My business is not urgent, you can say what you want to say first."

"Say it here?"

Luo Qixi reacted and quickly opened the dormitory door to welcome the boy inside.

"Actually, I wanted to come here and ask you if you're willing to be my wife."

After entering, Broly took a deep breath and asked Roxy.

"what?!"

Hearing this, Luo Qixi was stunned and her face turned red.

"Didn't we agree that we'll talk about this again when you're a little older?"

"Luo Qixi, I can't grow up anymore."

Broly said with his head down.

"Ok?"

The demon girl looked over with some confusion.

"The secret technique my friend brought back to me is useless, and I'm running out of time."

Broly meant that the time for this week was about to end, but he didn't say much in detail, which made Roxy, who had just learned that she was cursed, think of other things.

"Are you leaving this world?"

The demon girl asked with a trembling voice.

"Well, that's right."

Going back in time is also a way to leave this world, Broly nodded.

"Before I leave, I came here to ask you, are you willing to accept me, who has already grown up in this world, as your wife?"

Broly asked.

"Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you. Just pretend that we have never met. I won't bother you again."

Having said that, the boy's face showed an uneasy look of fear of being rejected, and Luo Qixi could clearly see it.

The curse was no longer important at this moment. The demon girl only wanted to know what had happened to the boy and why he suddenly said such words as if he was about to die.

“It’s impossible that we’ve never met, because we already know each other, and I will always remember how good you have been to me.

As for whether you grow up or not, what does it have to do with whether I accept you or not?"

"But you said you like people who look older and more mature than you."

"Ah, so that's why you looked so worried and stood waiting for me at my door.

Are you worried that I will reject you just because you can't grow up?"

Roxy asked and Broly nodded.

“You think too much, Broly, I can tell you right now that whether you are an adult or a child, it will not prevent me from accepting you.

It's just because I, Roxy Migludia, have fallen in love with the boy who barged into my life without permission and treated me, a demon girl, in every way possible."

Luo Qixi said this without any hesitation and stretched out her left hand towards the boy in front of her.

"If you don't believe me, you can take out the Crystal Love Ring now and put it on my ring finger."

"Ah good!"

Broly realized it a little later and quickly took out the Crystal Love Ring and put it on the demon girl's ring finger.

"Now that I am your wife, tell me what happened that made you say that you don't have much time."

Roxy asked nervously, and Broly scratched his head. Things were going so smoothly that his worry seemed to be in vain.

However, he still answered Loki's questions and told the demon girl about the Crystal Palace and that Orsted could go back in time.

Roxy thought she would hear something like an incurable disease or an unsolvable curse from Broly, but the result was...

"So, it is really that Crystal Palace that is preventing you from growing up in this world, and your stay in this world is about to end. If I don't agree to become your wife, you will ask Orsted to turn back time?"

"Correct."

Roxy rubbed her temples. Broly's story contained so much information that she didn't know where to start.

After spending some time sorting out her confused thoughts, Luo Qixi finally found an angle that she cared about and asked, "So, you are not nice to me for no reason, but you are nice to me just because that Crystal Palace designated me as a target for capture?"

Hearing this, Broly hesitated, but still nodded and said "hmm".

[Loxy Migludia's happiness value is decreasing, currently at 1120 points]

The Crystal Palace soon sent a prompt message that the happiness value had dropped, but Luo Qixi felt sad about this premeditated attack.

Because this is equivalent to mixing things like interests into pure feelings, making the demon girl feel that the relationship between her and the boy is not so pure.

"What would happen if I rejected you?"

"I would be sad."

"Will you not use other methods to capture me as your capture target after going back in time?"

Luo Qixi raised her voice and asked.

"No, not really."

"why?"

"Because you refused."

"Ha, what kind of reason is that?"

"Luo Qixi, it is more important for you to live happily than to join my Crystal Palace and become my wife."

"Well, is this your strategy?"

Roxy looked away, avoiding Broly's sincere gaze towards her.

"No, I'm just telling the truth. Maybe our acquaintance was due to the Crystal Palace, but now you are already a very good friend of mine."

"Isn't he a target for capture?"

"You're a target, but you're also a friend. If you refuse, then we'll just be friends. When time goes back, we'll probably just be strangers where I know you but you don't know me."

Broly's words made Roxy's heart tighten. She absolutely didn't want to have a relationship with the boy as a stranger.

After realizing this, Roxy found that she only hated the Crystal Palace, not Broly.

"Broly, let me ask you, if there was no Crystal Palace, would you be nice to me?"

"I don't know, but if we have never met, I probably won't take the initiative to show my kindness to a stranger, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless you, Luo Qixi, encounter something bad and I happen to encounter it, and you ask me for help, then I may help you."

Luo Qixi: "..."

If you think about it carefully, it seems to be true in the past two years. In the academy, except for being unconditionally nice to himself, Broly is really a bit rude to other people. But if someone asks him for help, as long as it is not too troublesome, he will help.

"What if this is me now, and I am no longer the target of your Crystal Palace, will you still be nice to me?"

Roxy asked another hypothetical scenario question, but if she was not the target of the capture, Broly would not even have any interaction with her.

"meeting."

Of course, Broly didn't think too much about it. If it was the current Roxy, even if the demon girl was not recognized as a target by the Crystal Palace, Broly would still treat her well. The only difference was that he would not be so proactive.

[Luo Qixi. Migludia's happiness value continues to increase. The current happiness value is 1121, 1122, 1123...]

Luo Qixi found that she couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and her perception of the Crystal Palace suddenly improved.

It changed from an object of interest that interfered with her and Broly's relationship (crossed out) to an excellent object that allowed the boy to find himself and have a connection with himself (confirmed).

[Eh, weird, why is Luo Qixi still calculating the happiness value? ]

Just then, Broly discovered this strange point.

[Because the host has not yet issued a formal invitation to Luo Qixi Migludia to join the Crystal Palace. ]

Crystal Palace responded with a message.

When Roxy asked Broly to wear the ring, she was not thinking about becoming the boy's wife, but was worried that the boy would say that he didn't talk much. Therefore, the Crystal Palace did not judge her as an active request to join, so Broly did not receive the message.

"Luo Qixi..."

"Well, what happened?"

"Can you promise me again when I ask you if you are willing to be my wife?"

The Saiyan boy spoke to the Demon girl in a negotiating tone.

"Eh?"

"There was something wrong with Crystal Palace's decision. You are not my wife yet."

Luo Qixi: "..."
