Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 53: Tips for Brushing Happiness Values ​​(Battle Maniacs Only)
With a sense of shame, Maillard changed his pants, wiped the disguise off his face, and returned to the conference venue.

However, he was no longer in the contestant area, but in the audience seats.

She wanted to see how the guy who reminded her would fight with the guy who played her.

During the half-time break, it’s time to eat, drink, and spend some money.

In the afternoon, the second half of the 4-to-2 match began.

"The first match of the top 4 semi-finals will be between Esdeath from the Galapa Chamber of Commerce and Broly from the Rabbit Chamber of Commerce..."

After the usual product placement, the host and referee left the audience in suspense and shouted, "Who will make it to the finals? Let's wait and see."

"Does what you said yesterday still count?"

Broly asked.

After he joined the competition, he encountered two scams, which made him a little worried.

"Which one is that?"

Esdeath stretched her body, crossed her hands behind her back and raised them up, then raised her head and asked.

"If I beat you, you will be my friend and the one who is willing to be my wife."

Broly said.

"Of course it counts. I never lie."

Esdeath nodded.

Hearing this, Broly felt relieved. He was afraid that he would beat the girl but she would not admit it.

"Won't you move your body?"

Esdeath asked.

"why?"

Broly was a little confused.

"If you don't warm up, your movements will be slow."

Esdeath explained to him.

"Don't worry, I'm very fast."

Broly is very confident about this. In order to speed up the charging of the Crystal Palace, his movement speed is the strongest among his overall qualities.

"I won't hold back."

Esdeath reminded again.

"Don't hold back, just do whatever you want."

Broly looked at the message "Esdeath's happiness value is continuing to rise" displayed on the Crystal Palace and said this to Esdeath happily.

"As I please..."

Esdeath laughed. She didn't know if Broly was arrogant, but her fighting spirit was indeed rising.

"Game start!"

As the host and referee finished speaking, Esdeath's figure moved from stillness to movement. In the blink of an eye, she crossed a distance of more than ten meters and came in front of the boy, swinging her fist towards the right side of the boy's face.

And Broly reacted just as he said and easily blocked her punch without making any irresistible show of weakness.

The battle became intense from the very beginning. Esdeath had no intention of holding back and launched an all-out attack as soon as the fight started.

Her attacks are not only fast, but also incredibly powerful. If others have a gentle breeze and drizzle, then hers is a violent storm.

Of course, whether it is a drizzle or a violent storm, it doesn't make much difference to Broly, because the difference in basic physical qualities is too big, and he can't break the defense.

Even Broly was worried that if he resisted, Esdeath might hurt him, so he tried his best not to confront the opponent with strength.

This created a strange sight as Broly swayed like willow catkins under Esdeath's violent attack.

"It's a very high-purity force dissipation. Broly actually used the ultimate force dissipation technique. Esdeath's violent attack seemed to have no effect on him.

Broly blocked all the attacks, he was not hurt at all, ah, but how is this possible, is it possible..."

The host and referee's voice trembled, and he expressed the thoughts of all the spectators who saw the fierce offensive and defensive battle on the field.

"Could it be that Broly has been hiding his strength all along, and was only forced to reveal his true strength after meeting a powerful player like Esdeath?!"

Now, it seems that this is the only explanation for what happened on the ring.

After more than ten minutes, Esdeath's attack gradually weakened.

After all, she was still a human being, and a twelve-year-old girl who had not fully developed.

Even though she had amazing endurance, she still felt tired after attacking with all her strength for more than ten minutes.

“Is the gap between us really that big?”

Before the fight, Esdeath thought Broly was an opponent worthy of a fight, but after the fight, Broly's perfect defense made her feel like she was facing a thick ice wall.

No matter how hard she attacked, she couldn't get through, and her attacks didn't cause any injuries to the boy. Of course, I'm talking about real injuries here.

How do you make a genius feel frustrated? It’s simple, just let her meet someone who is even more talented.

Esdeath is now in a situation where she feels frustrated when she encounters someone more talented.

This was the first time in her twelve years of life that she experienced the gap between people. The boy was much stronger than her.

This kind of impeccable strength even made Esdeath, who launched a violent attack, feel powerless.

[Esdeath's happiness value is decreasing]

However, although Esdeath's punches and kicks did not have any effect on Broly, the sudden drop in her happiness value, which was originally rising, caused great damage to Broly.

Looking at Esdeath's falling happiness value, Broly became a little anxious. He hurriedly looked towards Esdeath, and met a pair of somewhat lonely eyes, and immediately he realized something.

Once upon a time (before the age of three), he also felt sad because he couldn't beat his father, and he immediately said: "No, the gap between us is not that big, I am actually hurt."

"You're lying again. My attack just now didn't make you move your feet at all."

Esdeath obviously didn't believe him, and Broly wanted to spit out blood to prove it, but he had already shared the exploding gummy candies with Esdeath before.

After thinking for a while, Broly had a quick wit. He quietly crushed the ground of the ring under his feet, and condensed his energy on his hands to emit some green light. He raised his hand and said to Esdeath: "I'm not lying. Look, my hand is a little bruised. That's because I blocked your attack."

In the bright sunlight, Esdeath actually saw a hint of blue on Broly's hand, but before she could see it clearly, Broly withdrew his hand and refused to let her see it.

Then, Broly pointed to the ground and said, "As for why I didn't move, it's because you are too powerful. Under your attack just now, my feet were stuck in the ground. So, it's not that I don't want to move, but I can't move."

Esdeath looked at the pair of foot pits that appeared on the ring after Broly raised his feet, and for a moment she doubted whether she was really too powerful and that was why the other party couldn't move?
"With all the evidence, do you still doubt your own strength?"

Broly questioned loudly.

[Remove the impossible factors, and what remains is the truth no matter how much you don’t want to believe it. ]

At this moment, what came to Broly's mind was the famous quote from the first chapter of "The Sign of Four" in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes".

Esdeath was stunned. Yes, did she still have to doubt her own strength?
He hunted so many dangerous species, and even after his parents and tribesmen died, he still managed to survive.

In this cruel world, only the strong survive, and those who can survive should not be weak, she must believe in her own strength.

but……

Looking at the boy who encouraged me and made me believe in myself, why did I feel so strange, as if I was being fooled.

"Just now I was attacking and you were defending. This time it's your turn to attack and I'll defend.

Come on, Broly, if you want to get me, attack me with all your might."

Esdeath was not so easily fooled, so she decided to verify the difference in strength between them by defending against the boy's attack.

"This……"

Broly was in a bit of a dilemma. If he really attacked with all his strength, his wife would be gone, without even a trace left.

After thinking about it, Broly decided to tell a lie. At worst, he could just kneel down and apologize to the other party later.

"In that case, it's my turn to attack with all my strength. Are you ready?"

Broly thought back to the Type-Moon world, and the full effort of a certain enthusiastic Fuyuki City citizen, and he also showed the same behavior.

After Esdeath nodded, Broly rushed forward. He was very fast, but he was obviously paying attention to the girl's reaction.

After making sure that Esdeath could react, he threw a punch, which was blocked by Esdeath. He controlled the strength, pressed the opponent's hand to the side of her face and then retracted it.

Broly didn't give Esdeath much time to react. He quickly changed his moves and kicked her in the abdomen. Then, with similar micro-maneuvers, Esdeath began to struggle to resist his swift attack.

"This is amazing. After Broly showed his superb force-dissipating skills, he now displays a terrifyingly fast attack. Under his attack, Esdeath has fallen into a huge disadvantage..."

[Esdeath's happiness value is rising]

After resisting Broly's attack, Esdeath's happiness value, which had been declining, rebounded and soared again.

While controlling the rhythm of his attacks, Broly was also paying attention to the growth of Esdeath's happiness value, and he adjusted the rhythm of his attacks at any time according to the growth of her happiness value.

Then, Broly discovered the technique to increase Esdeath's happiness value. The more dangerous the attack, the more Esdeath's happiness value would increase. However, the easier the attack was to defend, the more difficult it was to increase Esdeath's happiness value.

After discovering this, Broly's attack method changed again. He used his strength to kick Esdeath away, and the next moment he jumped high and stepped down to the place where the girl fell.

Esdeath rolled over to dodge, but Broly had no intention of chasing her and simply stepped on empty air.

Suddenly, a loud bang sounded right under his feet, and Broly crushed the ground of the ring, causing the gravel to fly and creating a deep pit.

Esdeath got up and looked at the deep pit on the ground over there. Her heart was beating violently and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Dodging extremely dangerous attacks made her concentrate to the extreme, her adrenaline was bursting and her body was trembling.

But Esdeath's current state is similar to that of ordinary people who experience pendulum swing or bungee jumping, and her happiness level is soaring rapidly!

She recalled the time when she was a child and her father took her to hunt on the ice field, and they encountered a super dangerous species that caused a blizzard.

The current situation is somewhat similar to that time, both making her feel insignificant, and the sense of danger lingering around her makes her very excited, as if she is born to be a person who likes danger and excitement.
