Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 509 Which is more important?
Rudeus has a problem of relying on the strong. Of course, this does not mean that he is a curry favor with the powerful, but Broly's image of a reliable big brother is so great that Rudeus develops a considerable degree of dependence in each week.

Then, even though the other party clearly had no memory of the previous rounds, he would always do similar things before the time point of the round was about to come back.

That is, he will come over and ask Broly in a very humble manner to come back to see him in the next round.

Rudeus in the 50th episode is no exception. When he arrived at Broly's house carrying the pizza baked by his mother, he noticed a fellow village girl sitting on a swing chair woven by Broly himself under a tree in the yard that was said to have been planted by the Dragon God Orsted thirty years ago.

"Ms. Qixing, classmate Qixing, sister Qixing..."

When Nanahiroshi Shizuka came to her senses, Rudius almost swung the bamboo basket in his hand towards the girl's face.

"Ah, it's Rudy."

Shizuka Nanahiroshi leaned back and almost fell off the swing. Fortunately, Broly made the swing big enough.

"What are you doing alone?"

Rudeus asked somewhat curiously.

"No."

Nanahiroshi Shizuka quickly shook her head to deny it.

"Stop lying. The way you look now is like you're telling everyone that you're worried."

Rudius put the bamboo basket aside and sat down on the grass.

"Tell me about it. Although I may not be able to help you solve your worries, I may be able to comfort you a little with some useless words."

Nanahiroshi Shizuka: "..."

"Why, after knowing each other for nearly two years, you still can't trust me, your fellow villager? If that's the case, it really hurts my heart."

Rudius said this in an aria and used rich body movements to show how hurt he felt.

It was a bit weird, but it also made Shizuka Nanahashi's heavy mood feel a little better.

To be honest, Shizuka Nanahashi didn't have a good impression of this fellow from the same world at first.

Of course, this is not referring to the fact that Rudeus had a bad image in his previous life.

But it was because Rudius once looked at her with a lustful look, and was discovered by Nanahoshi Shizuka, so she had a bad impression of him.

However, after spending nearly two years together, Shizuka Nanahiroshi discovered that apart from his two shortcomings of being lustful and vulgar, Rudeus was actually a pretty good person.

I will comfort myself when I am down, and actively provide help within my ability when I encounter difficulties.

This kind of kindness has somewhat deviated from the friendship of fellow townsmen, but it is not a kind of liking. It is more like Rudius, who has a similar pleasing personality.

Although what is expressed may not be the other person's true inner thoughts, he is definitely qualified as a person to confide in and a friend.

So, after just a moment's hesitation, Shizuka Nanahoshi decided to express her troubles.

"Rudy, do you know that the time in this world will go back to the past and we cannot keep our current memories?"

Nanahiroshi Shizuka asked with a serious face.

"Eh, that's it?"

Seeing her serious look, Rudius thought she was going to say something serious, but it turned out to be about going back in time?
"What? This is not serious. Our lives can actually be restarted~"

Nanahiroshi Shizuka was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Sorry, sorry, it's just that I already knew about this."

"Hey, you know?"

"Of course. How many times have you thought that Broly has been reincarnated, and how many times have I become his little brother?"

"Why do you look so honored?"

"Ahem, this is not important. Anyway, I found out about this not long after I was reincarnated into this world."

Nanahoshi Shizuka opened her mouth, but didn't quite organize her words. After a while, she asked, "Then can you also retain your current memories after going back in time?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"Ah, no, then you're not afraid?"

"What am I afraid of?"

"You are now about to disappear."

"No, it's not disappearing, it's coming back."

"Isn't it the same thing? We don't have the memories we have now?"

“It’s different. To disappear means that the person is gone, but to come back means to start over again.

No, I have already prepared for the upcoming restart."

Rudeus picked up the bamboo basket next to him and told him that he planned to bribe Broly with the delicious pancakes made by his mother, and asked him to come and get to know him in the next round.

"is that useful?"

"It's proven to be useful. After all, he came to me when I was still a baby this week, and according to Broly, I always come to him for help."

At this point, Rudeus suddenly thought of something, and said to Nanahoshi Shizuka: "By the way, according to Broly, the reason why he took you in was because I took the initiative to ask him many weeks ago."

"Uh, thank you."

Nanahiroshi Shizuka was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that Broly had actually said something similar, so she thanked the boy sitting on the grass in front of her.

"Eh, is this all you can thank me for?"

Rudeus asked somewhat unsatisfied.

"Then what other thanks do you want?"

Nanahiroshi Shizuka also felt that verbal thanks seemed a little insufficient.

"Ha, then please, Miss Qixing, give me a pair of original PC that you have worn but not washed yet."

Rudius clapped his hands and made an even more unreasonable request.

"Clap~"

As expected, this guy was slapped on the forehead by Shizuka Nanahiroshi.

"Do you want to die!"

Nanahiroshi Shizuka yelled angrily, then rubbed her palms, but it hurt.

"Hey, I was just joking, do you have to hit me so hard?"

Rudius covered his forehead with his hands, tears streaming down his face.

"Is that how you joke?"

Nanahiroshi Shizuka's momentum weakened, and she was really worried that she was overreacting.

"Uh, sorry, I joked too much, I apologize."

Rudeus' voice also weakened, because it was not entirely a joke, and it also carried some of his sincere expectations.

"ε=(ο｀*))) Alas, I really envy you for being so carefree and not worrying about time going back at all. Your relaxed attitude."

Shizuka Nanahashi held her chin with her hand and couldn't help sighing.

"I think you're asking for trouble. Can't you rely more on Broly? As long as he's willing to take care of us, even if we don't have our current memories, our lives in the next round will definitely not be worse than this round."

Rudius has a very broad mind.

"But I'm really worried. I'm worried that the idea of ​​going home and researching anti-summoning magic that I came up with this week might not be something I'll think of next week, let alone realize!"

Nanahiroshi Shizuka was still very worried.

"That's easy. You just ask Brother Broly to help guide you to go home in the next round and continue researching anti-summoning magic, isn't that enough?" Rudeus said as a matter of course.

"Or maybe you don't trust Broly?"

"That's not true."

Nanahiroshi Shizuka shook her head. After living under the same roof for nearly two years, she could still see what kind of person the Saiyan boy was.

However, this is just like someone telling her that there is an afterlife after death and that the afterlife will be better. If you have never died, you cannot prove that the afterlife will be better, and if you are dead, you cannot prove that the afterlife must exist.

This kind of thing cannot be solved by whether or not to trust Broly. Even if Shizuka Nanahiroshi is willing to believe Broly, she cannot control her inner anxiety, and this is something that varies from person to person.

"Then I have an idea."

Rudeus said.

"any solution?"

Nanahiroshi Shizuka's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.

"Crystal Palace."

"Eh?"

"Teacher Roxy and the others were also able to retain their memories of the previous rounds, and this is all because they joined Broly's Crystal Palace. If you want to retain your memories of the previous rounds, then you just need to join Broly's Crystal Palace, right?"

"But doesn't this mean you're going to become each other's wife?"

"What's the problem with that? Broly is strong and reliable, so there's nothing wrong with being his wife. If I were a girl in this life, maybe I would want to be his wife too."

Rudeus said as a matter of course, but then he realized that Nanahoshi Shizuka was a time traveler from the modern era, and polygamy was not something modern women could easily accept. Before she was reincarnated into this world, he also saw that she had a boyfriend-like character around her.

"Is it because you can't accept polygamy, or do you already have a boyfriend you like in the modern world?"

After a pause, Rudeus asked again to Nanahiroshi Shizuka, who was somewhat stunned by what he had just said.

"Ah, I don't have a boyfriend!"

The girl retorted subconsciously.

"Hey, wasn't the boy who had an argument with you at the intersection in your previous life your boyfriend?"

Rudeus asked in surprise.

"You mean Akito Shinohara? He's just my childhood sweetheart who grew up with me."

Nanahiroshi Shizuka explained.

"In your previous life, the atmosphere between you two really was like a quarrel between a young couple. I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

Rudius said, then asked, "So, do you have a crush on him?"

Nanahiroshi Shizuka: "..."

[Ah, this embarrassed look, is it because I do have feelings for my childhood sweetheart who I grew up with? Damn it, why didn’t I have a childhood sweetheart in my previous life, and why don’t I have one in this life?! ]

Rudius was roaring in his heart, but he asked, "Miss Qixing, please tell me if there is any!"

"Why are you gossiping about me so much?!"

Nanahiroshi Shizuka became a little angry after being questioned, and shouted at Rudeus.

"I'm just trying to help you find a solution. I need to understand your personal emotional state before I can give you advice."

Rudeus argued, but he was actually gossiping about the personal emotional status of Nanahoshi Shizuka, an active high school girl in her previous life.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, there is a little bit, that's fine."

Nanahiroshi Shizuka yelled with a blush on her face, and Rudeus nodded in satisfaction.

"So, Miss Nanahoshi, is this the reason why you reject becoming Broly's wife?"

Rudeus asked.

“That’s part of the reason.”

Nanahiroshi Shizuka didn't refute.

"Then, Miss Nanahoshi Shizuka, let me ask you again, which is more important, the world before this time travel, the affection for the childhood sweetheart you grew up with, or the memory of this round?"

When Rudius asked this question, he felt like he was acting as an emotional judge, which gave him a good experience.

“Can’t they all be important?”

"You can't give an ambiguous answer. It will make it difficult for me to judge."

"Then the memory of this week is more important."

Shizuka Nanahiroshi thought for a long time before giving this answer.

After all, the affection she had for her childhood sweetheart was only a part of her life in the world before she traveled through time. But if she couldn't even return to her original world, what difference would it make whether she had this affection or not?

In her original world, besides her childhood sweetheart, there were other more important people, such as her parents, family, school, other friends and so on. Compared with these, her feelings for her childhood sweetheart were probably just that.

This is what Shizuka Nanahiroshi thought and answered after Rudeus forced her to make a decision.

Of course, keeping the memory of the past doesn't mean she can definitely return to the original world, but at least the probability of going back will be much greater, and it won't make her feel too anxious now.

"Well, then, this means that you are willing to become Broly's wife in order to preserve your own memories, right?"

Rudius pronounced the verdict.

"Oh, I didn't say that."

Nanahiroshi Shizuka said quickly.

"Then what other questions do you have? As a girl from modern times, can't you accept polygamy?"

Rudeus looked at her again.

Shizuka Nanahashi thought about it carefully. If she was the girl before she traveled through time, and knew that a man was dating multiple women at the same time, she would definitely consider him a scumbag.

Not to mention a man marrying multiple women and living together. Such a marriage will definitely not be happy.

But after coming to this world, he was taken in by Broly's family. The other party's family situation was not as bad as imagined. On the contrary, the family members were very harmonious and everyone got along well.

Therefore, the question of happiness or not has nothing to do with polygamy itself, but mainly depends on how well the family members manage it. The Broly family manages it very well, so well that it seems that even if outsiders join in, they should be able to integrate into this family and live in harmony with each other.

"That's not true."

Nanahiroshi Shizuka thought for a while and came to the conclusion that she was actually not against polygamy. This answer surprised her a little, and she shook her head at Rudeus.

"So, what's the problem?"

"It seems to be all right now."

"That's it. Now that your worries are resolved, go find Broly and tell him that you want to keep the memories of this episode and ask him to let you join the Crystal Palace."

Shizuka Nanahoshi felt something was wrong, but she also felt that there was nothing wrong with Rudeus' logic, and that she was indeed willing to make sacrifices in order to preserve her memories.

. . . .

"Ha, you want to join my Crystal Palace and become my wife? No way!"

It was not until Shizuka Nanahashi endured the shame and came to the Saiyan boy and expressed her desire to join the Crystal Palace and become his wife, but was rejected by the Saiyan boy with some disgust, that she realized that something was wrong.

Joining Crystal Palace was not just about her willingness to become the other party's wife. It was not enough to just have this awareness, but the other party also had to be willing to accept her as his wife.

"Ah, why, Brother Broly, is it because Miss Nanahoshi is not pretty or good-looking, or is it because she is not the type of girl you like?"

Rudeus asked in confusion, and Nanahiroshi Shizuka also looked over. Although she didn't mean to brag about her looks, she was a girl after all.

Broly showed no interest in her, even a little disgusted, which really made her concerned.
