Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 491 Broly is regarded as an imaginary enemy by Rudeus
"Listen to me, Teacher Luo Qixi, when I went to visit Greylat's house today, I met a cocky little brat who actually knew more words than me..."

Alice talked about her experience at Paul's house, and finally stamped her feet angrily, saying, "If it weren't for those etiquettes that don't allow me to lay hands on the host, I would definitely teach that brat named Rudius a lesson and give him a few bumps on the head!"

Luo Qixi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The girl was being bullied by a child younger than her. After thinking for a while, she reached out and touched the little head of the red-haired girl in front of her, and praised her: "Alice, you are really amazing. You can resist the urge to attack a child younger than you, and you are becoming more and more like a little knight with noble character."

"Oh, is that so?"

Alice's little face flushed with praise, and she went from being angry to being happy.

"Of course. As a knight, you should defeat your opponent fairly."

Luo Qixi said seriously.

"Tonight, I will start teaching you to read and write."

After Alice left happily, Loki looked at the boy next to her.

"Little Alice's father, Sir Philip, really has good intentions."

"How to say?"

"Sir Philip must have known about the boy who casts spells without chanting in advance. The reason why he asked Alice to visit him was probably to give Alice a shock so that she would have the motivation to learn to read, just like we guided Alice to learn numbers before."

Broly thought about it and nodded in approval. He and Roxy agreed that this was a far-sighted way for Philip Boreas to educate his daughter Alice.

. . . .

Roya City, Boreas's home.

In the front garden, Mrs. Hilda paced back and forth somewhat uneasily.

"Please don't leave, my lady."

Philip, who was sitting on a chair next to him drinking morning tea, felt a little dizzy and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Tell me, is it possible for a child as young as Alice to visit the Greylat family on her own as a representative of the family?
Will she be disrespectful, feel ashamed, and end up crying in someone else's house?"

Hilda stopped in front of her husband and asked with some concern.

"Alice is crying because of grievance? Are you sure you are talking about our daughter? I think instead of worrying about Alice crying because of grievance, we should worry about her getting angry and making a scene in someone else's house."

Philip laughed when he said this.

"Hilda, just relax. I didn't ask Alice to visit Paul randomly. He is not a well-behaved noble. When he was young, he didn't have any noble etiquette. Even if Alice was impolite, he wouldn't be able to see it. Even if he did, he certainly wouldn't care too much."

There was a slight deviation from the aggressive education that Broly and Roxy had expected, as Philip Boreas didn't think too much about it at all.

He simply picked an acquaintance who had the least aristocratic manners for his daughter, and made him the sparring partner for Alice, who was learning aristocratic etiquette from Paul Graylat's family.

. . . .

Just a few days after teaching Alice to read and write, there was a knock on Broly's door that night.

The garrison captain named Paul Greyrat came to the door. He came for his son.

"In Buena Village, no, I dare say that in Roya City or even the entire Fitoya Territory, there is no magician whose teaching level can reach that of Miss Luo Qixi."

"Uh, thanks for the compliment."

Luo Qixi felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

"So, my son Rudeus wants to find an excellent teacher to teach him magic..."

Paul rubbed his hands and looked at the demon girl in front of him with an expectant look.

"At the age of less than four, he can cast spells without chanting. Your son is indeed a child with great magical talent."

If it were before she met Broly, Roxy felt that she would definitely think that such a child was a magical genius.

But unfortunately, she had already seen various battles between Broly and the Dragon God involving chantless spellcasting, and her horizons had broadened.

"But forget about being a tutor or anything like that."

"Ah, the tuition fee is easy to negotiate."

"As you can see, my family is quite wealthy and we don't lack that little money. On weekdays, I have to spend most of my time on magic research, and I don't have much time to go to your house to teach your son. Captain Paul, please find someone else."

"Well, what if I ask my son to come and study with you, Miss Luo Qixi?"

Paul was somewhat unwilling to accept this. It was not easy to find a famous teacher like Lokixi who had successfully taught two young girls to become junior magicians.

If possible, Paul still hopes that his son who has magical talent can receive better magical education.

"If you want to come here and learn, I can teach you."

In response, Luo Qixi did not refuse.

"Thank you so much, Miss Luo Qixi, oh no, it's Teacher Luo Qixi."

Paul expressed his gratitude, left two silver coins as his son's tuition, and then said goodbye and went home.

"Alice will definitely be angry."

Broly said.

"Well, competition gives us motivation to learn."

Loki didn't take it seriously. After Alice and Sylphy's relationship improved, the two children became a little lax in their magic studies.

This made her think that it would be a good idea to have another magical genius student come over to act as a catfish and become a competitor to supervise the two girls.

"Competitors..."

Broly recalled the previous competition between him and the Dragon God in fighting skills, and could understand the role a suitable competitor could play in promoting growth.

"By the way, I will go to the big forest on the Miris continent in a few days."

"Is there anything to be done?"

Luo Qixi asked curiously.

"It's not a big deal. I just received some news about the bounty I posted in the mining town a month ago."

"Is this news about the Crystal Love Ore?"

"Ah."

Broly nodded.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome. Just take some of my Crystal Love jewelry, modify them, and then give them to Alice and Sylphy."

"This is for you, Lucky. As for Alice and Sylphy, I will go find new ores to make new Crystal Love ornaments for them."

"You are so generous. Well, remember to go home and sleep at night. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep without holding you."

"You can sleep with Sylphy and Alice."

"Holding them is not as comfortable as holding you."

Just then, Alice ran out with a wooden writing board in her hand.

"Teacher Luo Qixi, I have learned to write my own name!"

On the writing board, Alice's name was written crookedly in human characters.

"Me too."

Little Sylphy followed behind, and the neat handwriting on the writing board in her hand was much more beautiful than the ant-like handwriting on the writing board in Alice's hand.

. . . .

My name is Rudius. Ever since my arrogant, cute and beautiful distant cousin came to visit my home and I revealed my magical talent, which might be that of a genius, my parents have been busy looking for a magic teacher for me.

After searching for a long time, they finally found the person who taught magic to my distant cousin, a demon magic teacher named Lokisi Migrudiya.

My knowledge about the demons is limited to what I have seen in books. They seem to be a very scary race. Perhaps they are a monster-like existence with three heads and six arms.

However, this is not what scares me. What really scares me is that the other person cannot come to my home to act as my tutor, but that I have to step out of this home in this world and go out to receive education.

Although I only had to leave home and go to my partner's home in the north of the same village, about one kilometer away, to receive education, this was a difficult mountain that was not easily overcome for me, a homebody who never left the house in my previous life, or rather, a stay-at-home mom who never left the room.

"Rudy, what's wrong with you? Why are you so pale?"

Senis noticed her son's abnormality, squatted down nervously and asked.

The outside world was definitely not a beautiful place for Rudius in his previous life.

He was stripped naked and tied at the school gate just because he said something to someone who cut in line. Even though those people eventually transferred to another school, his life was over.

I am extremely sensitive to the gazes of strangers outside. When I think of leaving home, my breathing becomes tense and my forehead sweats because of all kinds of delusions.

However, these things belong to his past life. How can he tell his parents who care about him in this life?

"Mom, can I not go?"

"Ah, why?"

"Because it's written in the book that the demons are a very scary race."

Rudius made such an excuse.

"So that's the reason. It's okay, Rudy. Although Ms. Luo Qixi is a demon, she is a very cute girl.

And her attitude towards other people in the village is also very gentle. Dad can assure you that she is not a scary person at all."

Paul assured with a smile.

Rudius tried to find another excuse, but after a night, he still couldn't think of an excuse not to go out.

It was useless to pretend to be sick because my mother's healing magic was not weak.

In the end, he could only give a lame excuse that the outside world was scary before going to the guillotine.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect our Rudy is still such a coward."

Paul laughed.

"No wonder you, a child who can run and jump, have never gone out."

Senis showed a look of realization.

"Don't worry, outside, at least in the village, it's very safe, and this is all thanks to me, Dad."

Rudius was unable to resist and was carried to the horse's back by Paul.

As I watched the gate getting closer and closer, some fears from my past life came to my mind.

He curled himself up in the arms of the man behind him like an ostrich.

until……

"Look, Rudy, there's nothing scary in the world outside. Even if there is, Daddy will protect you."

With his father's encouragement, Rudy opened his eyes again and saw the country road covered with morning light, and behind him was his father's broad and strong chest.

The shadows of his previous life seemed to be dispelled by the sunshine of this world at this moment, and Rudius felt like he was reborn.

"Thank you, Dad."

There is no doubt that at this moment, Paul Graylat finally received the heartfelt respect and gratitude of his son.

Rudius, feeling relaxed and reborn, was brought by his father on horseback to the door of a large house in the north of the village.

As soon as I got closer, I heard a burst of shouting.

Following the sound, Rudius saw his distant cousin who had come to his house a few days ago, holding a wooden sword in her hand, practicing swordplay with a long-eared girl who looked younger than her and had shoulder-length green hair.

After meeting Broly, Sylphy was no longer bullied, and now she doesn't have a short haircut.

Her hair now has a mushroom-shaped hairstyle. If she squats on the ground, people might mistake her for a green mushroom.

"Rudy, do you want to practice sword fighting with them too?"

Paul noticed his son staring blankly at the situation over there, so he asked about it.

"Ah."

Practicing swordplay with a cute girl made me subconsciously give an affirmative answer to the question raised by my father.

This was an answer I regretted, because because of this answer, I was beaten up openly by my distant cousin Alice with a wooden sword, leaving me with a black eye and a swollen face.

Of course, getting back to the topic, I met my magic teacher here. Paul did not lie to me. She was a lovely girl. Although she looked a little bit unreliable, she was indeed a gentle and patient person.

At least in teaching, if I have any questions, teacher Luo Qixi will use the simplest way possible to help me understand the solution to the problem.

When I solved a problem, she would praise me generously, just like a kindergarten teacher treating children.

Although I am indeed a child now, I still feel lucky to have met such a teacher.

School life in this different world is better than I imagined.

The magic teacher is a beauty who looks like a junior high school student, and the classmates around her are also two little beauties.

Although my cousin is a bit rude, her willful and capricious personality is not unacceptable.

More importantly, there is a half-long-eared girl who cares about others.

Every time he was beaten by his cousin who used a wooden sword, the girl named Sylphy would run over to stop his cousin, giving Rudeus the feeling of a gentle little mother.

I feel like I am in a real-life strategy game, and Teacher Roxy, my cousin Alice, and my classmate Sylphy are the targets I can conquer.

After having this idea, Rudius began to want to show off in front of girls.

Although I am no match for Alice in swordsmanship, when it comes to magic, I have the memories of my past life and have many ideas that even teacher Roxy finds new.

Furthermore, my magic power seemed to be higher than that of Alice and Sylphy, allowing me to easily use the intermediate magic that the two of them were still trying to learn.

"How about it, I'm awesome!"

After releasing an intermediate fireball technique, Rudius asked the two girls.

"Rudy, that's amazing."

Sylphy nodded and praised him, but Alice just glanced at the target that was blown away and said, "Not as good as Broly!"

"Yeah, Broly-nii is more powerful."

Broly, this is not the first time I have heard this name. Every time I try to be cool, I always hear it from the other two girls. Even teacher Roxy would occasionally mention him.

This made me realize that the other person might be my biggest rival in achieving my goal of conquering the girls around me in this different world.

Unfortunately, every time I came to school, I never met him. I only heard that he would go out before dawn in the morning and would not come back until night fell, and by that time I would have already gone home from school.

Rudius could only inquire about the imaginary enemy's situation indirectly, and then he got the information that the other party had very powerful swordsmanship and magic abilities.

When she was acting out the scene of the knight saving the princess with her cousins, when the bad guy was beaten up, her cousin Alice would say, "If it was Broly, he wouldn't be defeated so easily."

Not only does he have to play a villain, he also has to be not easily defeated, and he also has to give his cousin a deep experience of acting in a knight drama.

This made Rudius, who had trouble playing the villain, realize that the other party's ability to coax a little girl might be even better than his, a senior NEET who was proficient in various Galgame games in his previous life.

"Teacher Luo Qixi, can I ask a question?"

"what?"

"What kind of person is Broly?"

After hearing so many girls praising the guy named Broly, I couldn't help but want to know what kind of guy he was. So when I asked teacher Roxy a question, I asked him directly.

What I didn't expect was that I actually saw an expression like my mother Senis on the face of the demon teacher who looked like a junior high school student. Ah, it was like the happy expression of a wife who was satisfied with her family.

"He is a guy who knows how to please people."

[He must be a gigolo! ]

As a male, jealousy made me speculate about that guy.

It was not until two weeks after I came to study magic with teacher Roxy and swordsmanship with Gileno that I actually met the guy named Broly.

When we first met, he suddenly burst into the school holding a big rock, and shouted "Found it" to Teacher Luo Qixi.

He was a dirty, gray boy who didn't look much older than himself. He looked about seven or eight years old, but his eyes were very bright.

From what the other party said, Rudius learned that the other party had gone out to look for the ore in his hand these days, but he was planning to create some kind of magic jewelry for Alice and Sylphy.

Looking at Alice and Sylphy, they were happily talking to the dirty boy and looking forward to receiving gifts from each other.

Rudeus suddenly realized that he might be facing a strategy rival who would give gifts to increase girls' favorability.
