Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 537 First Special Agent Mission, Jade: Broly and I are really awesome!
Xiaoyu is special, so how to get along with a friend who doesn't want to be his wife but can join the Crystal Palace has become something Broly needs to think about.

"It's simple, just don't do anything intimate with her, and everything else will remain the same."

Broly asked his wives in the group chat and quickly got an answer.

"Anyway, before we became close, your way of getting along with us was very proper."

The next day, Broly got up, and Jade came to find him.

"Broly, are you ready to start your own secret service job?"

I think you definitely need an assistant.

Trust me, I'm an excellent assistant, well-versed in espionage!

When you're out in the world, you have to earn your own identity. Sheriff Black didn't want Jackie Chan to come knocking on his door, so he didn't dare hire Jade as a District 13 agent. But Jade would find her own way to do this interesting job. Sure enough, she came to his door early this morning.

"Okay, but before I start working, I'm going to fill my stomach first."

The two arrived at District 13 together. This time they took the stairs, which looked much more normal. They appeared to lead to a storage room in the basement, but once inside, they could push the side wall on the right to find another passage leading down.

Good morning, Sheriff Black.

When Xiaoyu arrived at Sheriff Black's office, she greeted him as he drank coffee.

Good morning, Xiaoyu.

Sheriff Blake instinctively replied, then immediately realized what he meant.

"Wait, why are you here again? Does Jackie Chan know?"

“Uncle Long knows I need to show Broly around,” Jade replied, subtly changing the subject. “Broly just became a special agent, and he wants to get started quickly.”

"But since there are no supernatural crimes happening right now, we may not need him to start working now."

Specialized tasks require specialized expertise. Sheriff Black doesn't always ask Jackie Chan for help; he only does so when encountering supernatural events that are unfamiliar to them or that they cannot handle.

As for ordinary cases, such as dealing with international fugitives, to be honest, the regular agents of District 13 are enough.

"Don't do that, Sheriff. You have to let Broly get used to the work in Section 13. Otherwise, it's so boring to have him on standby. Uh, I mean, he might cause some trouble because he's not familiar with the job."

"Yes, you're right, Xiaoyu. Maybe I should give him some normal tasks to practice first. Wait a minute, let me look for it."

Sheriff Black thought the girl made sense, so he went to the cabinet and started looking through the unsolved cases held by District 13.

“Hey, Sheriff Black, Broly and… well, really good. He wants a tough case, preferably a difficult one.”

Xiaoyu almost let slip that she needed to solve a difficult task that others would find hard to handle, not a simple task that anyone could do.

"I know."

Sheriff Blake replied, clearly agreeing with the point.

"Then let's go to the cafeteria for lunch."

Xiaoyu knew the way well and led Broly to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria in District 13 is spacious, and people are already eating there.

Xiaoyu greeted them one by one, and they responded.

Clearly, Xiaoyu is a familiar face here.

She was able to walk up the stairs and enter District 13 smoothly, which must be because she had facial recognition.

For example, pretending to be the child of Sheriff Blake's friend's family, and making an excuse that the adults asked her to help with something.

"Disguising one's identity, that's also a skill of secret agents!"

Xiaoyu explained her behavior as follows.

Today in District 13, the main dish for breakfast is bread, and there are many types of bread to choose from.

White bread made with refined white flour, and multigrain bread made with a mixture of various grain flours, etc.

The cooking methods include Italian, French, Russian, and Chinese styles.

Broly, holding the plate, didn't seem to have any trouble choosing, because he picked out all kinds.

This meant that when he was choosing side dishes, he had to bring over another plate.

Xiaoyu walked ahead, introducing the bacon and pickles here, saying they tasted very good.

When she received a glass of sweet milk and was about to find a table to sit down and eat, she turned around to look at Broly and saw the Saiyan boy carrying two large plates full of food, following behind her.

"Oh, Broly, why are you carrying so much food?"

"Because I have a big appetite."

“These things look like they’re half your body size. Dad said we shouldn’t waste food, so I think you should do what you can.”

"I will."

Broly sat down in the empty seat next to him and began to show off his true eating prowess.

The three bowls of rice I ate at my dad's antique shop last night weren't his limit, but rather the limit of the rice cooker at my dad's antique shop.

"Hmm, this is a good commission, a cunning smuggler."

Sheriff Black found a suitable case in his office just as someone rushed in.

"Something's wrong, Sheriff Black."

"Johnson, don't panic. Tell me what happened. Have some bad guys sneaked into our District 13 again?"

"Uh, not a bad guy, but a glutton. He almost ate all of our breakfast this morning, and a lot of people are going to go hungry."

"are you kidding me?"

"No, Sheriff, you should probably go and check on the cafeteria yourself."

Sheriff Blake and his men rushed over to the cafeteria, but before they even got close, they heard a commotion from the crowd gathered there.

"My God, that's the thirty-fifth plate of food already! Is that child's stomach some kind of extradimensional pocket?"

"Make way, Sheriff Black is here."

Upon hearing this, people made way for them.

When Sheriff Blake walked in, the first thing he saw was a pile of plates that almost reached the ceiling.

Meanwhile, the chef in charge of serving the meals was pouring the last of the breakfast into Broly's plate.

"Can any of you tell me what happened here?"

“Sheriff Black, as you can see, this child ate all of breakfast. Although the cook prepares a little extra food each day, this is clearly beyond the limit.”

"Wow, Broly, do you eat that much?"

At this moment, Xiaoyu was looking at the boy with admiration.

"Yes, we Saiyans are all big eaters."

Are you full?

"Eat until you're seven-tenths full."

Sheriff Black overheard Jade and Broly's conversation.

"It seems we need to increase the budget for working meals."

Being able to eat is a minor issue; District 13 has a very generous annual budget.

"I've found a job, Broly. Are you ready?"

"Eat your food, do your work, no problem. Perfect, I can go and get some digestive aid too."

Sheriff Black brought the man back to his office and began to explain the smuggling case.

“This man’s name is Brooke. He is an international contraband smuggler. We have arrested him many times, but he seems to have a precognitive ability. Every time he can be alerted in advance and hide the evidence of his crimes. Our people have not found any evidence. Every time we arrest him, we can only let him go. Maybe you have a way to catch him red-handed.”

The difficulty of the case lies not in arresting the smugglers, but in how to apprehend them with the stolen goods and in the act of arresting them. It seems that more brainpower is needed than force.

"Don't worry, Sheriff Black, I'll go and make him repent and admit his mistakes."

However, Broly seemed to have misunderstood something, and after receiving the mission, he confidently told Sheriff Black.

"Well, I might have to remind you that before we find solid evidence, our rough enforcement actions might be used as evidence to sue us."

"Is this what they mean by 'it's not that bad guys are uncultured, it's that they're law-abiding'?"

Xiaoyu concluded.

"Yes, this country always talks about democracy, freedom and human rights. While this guarantees the rights of many people, it also allows some shrewd criminals to exploit these things, leaving us helpless against them."

"Okay, I understand. I will make sure they can't speak up or sue us."

Broly left with a tablet computer that had navigation capabilities.

"Wait for me, Broly, I'm coming too."

Xiaoyu quickly followed.

“Hey, we need solid evidence to make that arrest,” Sheriff Blake reminded him from behind.

"Is this really okay, Sheriff?"

The people nearby asked.

"I don't know either, we'll see."

"What if something happens?"

"I'm on vacation right now, what does that have to do with me?"

Sheriff Blake, who is on paid leave, said he is currently in an unselectable state.

Even if the other party does sue District 13, is the reason just because a child violently arrested him?

Ha, children in this country are also a group that cannot be chosen.

Broly, who was tasked with apprehending the smugglers, might face danger.

Hmm, is this referring to the boy who can fight the Holy Lord and easily defeat their District 13's top agent, Tagg? Would he be in danger from ordinary smugglers?

If so, then Sheriff Black might need to consider whether or not to terminate this employment relationship.

As for Xiaoyu, oh, Xiaoyu?!

"No, why did that child go along too?"

"Sheriff Black, what's the problem?"

"Uh, I hope there won't be any problems."

Jackie Chan's niece, who was able to sneak into District 13 and take the talisman.

Thinking of this, Sheriff Black, who had been somewhat flustered, suddenly calmed down.

. . . .

"Wow, a human-powered flying machine! We're off to punish criminals!"

After leaving District 13, Broly flew through the air with Jade in his arms, and the girl seemed very excited.

"Hey, Broly, you've veered off course. Fly that way, that's where we're going."

"Thank you, Xiaoyu. Without you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to find this place."

Broly said seriously.

But the deviation from the course was just a pretense; it was Xiaoyu's reminder that truly showed what it means to feel involved and to feel like you've made a contribution.

Look, because of this reminder, Xiaoyu's happiness level has increased. Broly is a professional at playing games with his wife.

Even if Xiaoyu doesn't intend to be a wife, making the other person happy is almost the same as making a wife happy.

The two of them, one earnestly giving directions and the other pretending to be given directions, soon flew over a luxurious seaside estate.

This manor was the smuggler's residence, and also a place where transactions were conducted openly, yet no problems could ever be found.

“According to the information provided by Sheriff Blake, the other party is likely to have an illegal transaction today. Perhaps we can hide in the manor and jump out when they make the transaction to catch them in the act.”

Xiaoyu said.

"good idea."

Broly nodded. Although he felt it would be easier to find the smuggler directly and persuade him with reason, he was still quite cooperative for the sake of Xiaoyu's sense of involvement.

“Then let’s land on that tree; it looks like we can observe the environment inside the manor.”

Xiaoyu said, "Broly is landing."

The surveillance cameras installed in the manor indicated that the way they landed from the sky was truly spectacular.

“Mr. Brooke, it seems there are two uninvited guests at your estate.”

The security personnel reported.

"Oh, it's those agents from District 13 again. They've come up with a new trick this time. Did they hire two dwarfs who can land without a parachute as agents?"

The shrewd man with a small mustache quickly realized who was causing him trouble after seeing the logo on the back of the tablet computer in Xiaoyu's hand.

"Let my dogs out and let them experience what it's like to be stuck in a tree. Also, point the security camera over there. They're always causing me trouble, so I think I should cause them trouble too. I'll ask my lawyer what crime it is for law enforcement officers to trespass on private property."

"Okay, Mr. Brook, but shall we still proceed with today's deal?"

His subordinate asked.

"Of course, conducting illegal transactions under the noses of those police dogs would be a very exciting thing."

"Go, take today's client to their room. I want to watch the incompetence of the District 13 detectives with my partner."

Brooke invited his partner to the trading room on the estate. After exchanging pleasantries and having a few drinks, he pointed to the trees surrounded by dogs in the front yard of the estate and told his partner about his discovery and investigation of his District 13 detective.

"They can't get down from the tree now, they're being filmed by my security camera."

"You're so naughty, but I like it."

The collaborator was an obese man, and he greatly admired the methods of his smuggling partner.

What's wrong with these dogs?

Xiaoyu didn't understand why a pack of large wolfhounds had suddenly surrounded the tree.

"It seems we've been discovered."

Broly's senses were quite sharp; he had a feeling when the camera stopped in their direction.

"Now what?"

"Since your solution won't work, then we'll use mine."

Broly picked up Jade and kicked off the tree.

"Bang~"

He took Xiaoyu directly and barged into the manor's trading room.

When I entered, the two people in the room had just completed their deal and were shaking hands.

"Ah, it's contraband."

Xiaoyu pointed to a pile of contraband and shouted it out.

“I am Detective Broly from District 13. You are Brooke, a contraband smuggler. You are now under arrest. Surrender.”

Broly recited the lines Jade had taught him on the way.

"Damn it, how did you guys get here? Oh well, I was careless this time."

However, you have forgotten that you have trespassed on my property.

According to the Castle Law, even if I kill you all, your sheriff can't do anything to me!

As he spoke, the man hurriedly called for the bodyguards outside to come in, and the bodyguards rushed in and pulled out their guns.

"Quickly, kill them!"

. . . . .

"In the blink of an eye, Broly was like a gust of wind, taking down all the armed bodyguards in black..."

"And I discovered the secret of the rising concrete pillars later on. That guy hid contraband under the pillars, which is why the investigation had been fruitless..."

"Uncle Dragon, Broly and I are so amazing, can you let me join Section 13 as an agent too?!"

Back at the antique shop that evening, Xiaoyu talked about how quickly the criminals were apprehended that day, and then ingratiatingly asked Jackie Chan about it.

"No, you still have to go to school tomorrow. The capture of the smugglers was entirely Broly's achievement. What does it have to do with you?"

Jackie Chan stood with his hands on his hips, surprised that his niece, who had said she would take the boy out to familiarize himself with the streets that morning, ended up taking him to fight international smugglers.

That guy Black is really unreliable. Yesterday he called to say he was helping Broly find a place to stay, but he ended up recruiting the boy to join Section 13 as an agent.

That's one thing, after all, Broly is powerful, but now he's letting his niece go on missions with Broly.

If it weren't for Blake's repeated explanations and apologies during their meeting, Jackie Chan would have wanted to write a complaint letter to the Children's Department to properly manage District 13.

"As a child, your task is to study hard."

After Jackie Chan finished lecturing Jade, he turned to the Saiyan boy. He softened his voice and asked in a consultative tone, "Broly, I've talked to Sheriff Black. If you're willing, you can enroll in Jade's school. What do you think?"

Jade is not a well-behaved girl. If Broly continues his dangerous secret service work, she will definitely cling to him relentlessly.

Rather than that, it would be better to let Broly be a normal child, go to school and study. The question now is whether the boy is willing to accept such an arrangement.

"no problem."

Broly didn't object to this; being an agent was just a side job, and spending time with friends was what life was all about. Wherever Jade was, he would be there too.
