Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 564 Swordsmanship Level While Sitting at the Same Table as a Child
"Uh, did I do something wrong?"

Broly could sense that something was off about the girl's emotions, but he couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong, so he just asked her directly.

It's no wonder boys this age aren't interested in women's bodies. Honestly, I'm actually arguing with a child!

Looking at the somewhat uneasy boy, Izayama Yomi quickly dispelled the shame and indignation that welled up in her heart. She released her hand from pinching the boy's cheek, shook her head, and replied, "No, you did nothing wrong. I'm the one who's wrong. I misunderstood something."

"Can I continue to visualize you, Sister Huangquan, in the future?"

Broly asked.

"Of course, do you need your sister to be your model, wear several different styles of clothes, and provide you with material for visualization?"

Having returned to normal, Isayama Yomi asked with a smile.

"May I?"

"Uh, I might need to buy some new clothes."

Isayama Yomi opened her wardrobe and found that almost all the clothes inside were the same style, all of them were relatively easy-to-wear black school uniforms, the only difference being the summer and winter versions. This made her feel a little embarrassed.

"it is good."

Broly nodded in agreement. Although it wasn't necessary to visualize the other person, and it would be fine to visualize other things, since the girl was willing to be the object of his visualization, there was no need to refuse her kindness.

"It's getting late, it's time to sleep, Broly. Have you settled into this house yet?"

Izayama Yomi sat on the bed and asked the question.

"I've adapted."

Broly answered honestly, and he never felt uncomfortable.

Goodnight.

The girl's expression froze for a moment before she spoke.

"Sister Huang Quan..."

Broly belatedly realized what was happening and called out to her.

"Ok?"

Can I sleep with you again tonight?

"But haven't you already gotten used to it?"

"Can't you?"

"Ah, it's not that it's impossible, I just can't do anything with you. How can I, as your older sister, refuse my younger brother's request!"

As Broly said this, he received a message that the girl's happiness level had increased, which meant that she really wanted him to sleep with her.

“Broly…”

After the lights were turned off, Broly, who was once again being used as a body pillow, heard the girl behind him call his name.

"Ok?"

He voiced his doubts.

"I think you might have a special constitution."

"What do you mean?"

"Holding you in my arms feels somewhat comfortable."

Broly remained silent. Isayama Yomi's situation was somewhat similar to Wiz's; both were individuals lacking vitality and in need of replenishing it.

Wiz's reason for being a lich is likely due to his frequent contact with ghostly creatures, while Yomi Isayama's is probably related to this. Wiz possesses the Absorbing Touch, which can replenish his life force, but Yomi Isayama doesn't seem to have a corresponding means of replenishing her life force.

After adjusting her breathing, she felt like a warm compress that replenished her life force. The girl might not have clearly realized this, but she instinctively wanted to touch herself.

"From now on, I'll come and sleep with Sister Huangquan, okay?"

"You're such a clingy little brother, of course I agree, but only for now."

The boy is still young, so there's no problem with him sleeping with her. But when he grows up, she'll definitely have to be more careful. She didn't know that Broly was the same age as her, so she smiled and agreed. Her happiness level jumped up by two points.

Before this little guy grows up, let me, as his older sister, enjoy the feeling of holding him to sleep.

The girl buried her face in the boy's head and inhaled his breath as if she were petting a cat. The scent of his shampoo, mixed with an invisible life force, was drawn into her body, replenishing the life force that had been depleted due to her years of contact with spirits.

Broly did not resist and cooperated by transferring his energy to him, allowing Isayama Yomi to quickly succumb to the gentle fragrance provided by this invisible life force and gradually fall asleep.

The next day, Isayama Naraku was going to attend the Exorcist Alliance meeting.

"I'm leaving now, Huang Quan. I'm leaving the house in your care."

The man entrusted the household affairs to his adopted daughter.

"No problem, Father, leave the household affairs to me."

After seeing her adoptive father off at the door, Isayama Yomi turned to the boy following behind her and said something.

"Broly, come with me to the dojo. I'm going to teach you exorcism."

Today is Saturday, and Yomi Isayama doesn't have to go to school, so she has plenty of time to teach Broly.

"Broly, what do you think exorcism is?"

After bringing the boy to the dojo, Izayama Yomi did not immediately begin teaching him, but instead asked him this question.

"Any technique that can destroy a spirit is considered an exorcism technique?"

Broly replied somewhat uncertainly.

"Exorcism isn't just about spells, huh? What did you say?"

With his head held high and chest puffed out, Isayama Yomi was about to give a more in-depth explanation of exorcism techniques when he realized that the boy's words were completely different from his own answers when his father had asked him the same question before, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"I said, any technique that can destroy a spirit is an exorcism technique, Sister Huangquan, did I say something wrong?"

Broly repeated it aloud, then asked.

"No, it's my sister who's been too naive, treating you like an ordinary child."

Isayama Yomi was somewhat embarrassed.

At that moment, she sensed that the thought process of a super genius was somewhat different from that of ordinary people; at least the boy's answers to questions were always the kind that went straight to the point.

"Hey, I'm not ordinary, could it be..."

"Ah, Broly, don't misunderstand, this is an answer that any exorcist who has actually performed an exorcism already knows."

The essence of exorcism is exorcism itself. The methods don't actually need to be limited to so-called magic. Whether it's using an enchanted gun to fire away or using exorcism tools made from an electric iron filled with spiritual water, as long as it can effectively exorcise the spirit, it's a good exorcism technique.

"What I mean is, you're quite a smart child to realize this before the actual exorcism."

"Well, this may not have anything to do with intelligence. When we met the day before yesterday, I saw Sister Huangquan and others using various methods to exorcise spirits."

"Ah, I see. Hahaha, it was my sister who forgot about that."

Well, now that we know exorcism isn't just about magic, things get easier. Physical skills are also an important part of an exorcist's training.

"And the first lesson your sister will teach you will be physical combat. She will teach you how to use a sword and how to infuse spiritual energy into it!" "Uh, Sister Huang Quan, wasn't our meditation and cultivation session last night the first lesson you taught me?"

"Broly, can you stop nitpicking like that?!"

As Izayama Yomi leaned forward, she seemed to have forgotten about it.

"Alright, Sister Huangquan, you're in charge."

Broly was somewhat helpless.

"Anyway, let's get the bamboo sword first."

Isayama Yomi went to the side, opened the cabinet containing training swords, took out a bamboo sword and handed it to the boy.

Broly took the bamboo sword and instinctively gripped it tightly.

"Hey, Broly, the way you wield your sword is really impressive!"

Isayama Yomi sensed the change in the boy's demeanor and exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Broly's expression stiffened for a moment. He had practiced swordsmanship for too long, and after receiving the sword, he subconsciously used his own more accustomed sword-holding posture.

However, some subtle movements can easily reveal something to an expert with a certain level of swordsmanship.

"Ah, Sister Huangquan, is it right for me to hold the sword like this?"

Broly reacted quickly, and as soon as he realized he had inadvertently revealed something, he immediately made amends.

He used an unnecessary gesture—one that a master swordsman would never make—of waving his sword around aimlessly, to cover up the inexplicable feeling that he inadvertently revealed after taking up the sword, a feeling that gave those with a certain level of swordsmanship the impression that "the person wielding the sword is a master swordsman, perhaps terrifyingly strong."

"Uh, Broly, your sword-wielding technique just now was correct. It gave me the feeling that you could attack or defend at will."

As she spoke, Isayama Yomi realized that the boy seemed a little off earlier, but seeing the boy's somewhat helpless expression as he held the bamboo sword, she dismissed the earlier feeling as a figment of her imagination.

[This child is clearly an amateur; how could he possibly be a swordsman? Perhaps he simply has a natural talent for swordsmanship, which is why he instinctively found the most suitable stance for himself after his first time holding a sword...]

"Come on, just hold your sword like you did before."

To confirm this, Yomi Isayama made Broly repeat the sword-holding stance he had just been in.

"Is that what it looks like?"

Having prepared himself, Broly didn't reveal any flaws this time. Even though he made the exact same sword-wielding gesture as before, he no longer gave people the feeling of a sharp swordsman ready to attack or defend at any moment.

【Eh, that's strange...】

Isayama Yomi felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Clearly, this girl had a certain level of swordsmanship, but not enough to see through Broly's deliberate disguise of his swordsmanship.

"Sister Huang Quan..."

When the boy asked again, the girl came to her senses.

"what?"

"What should I do next?"

"Ah, next up is sword-wielding practice."

"Is this how you wave it?"

Broly, in a standard manner, swung his sword forward in the air.

"Yes."

When Izayama Yomi saw this, she nodded directly. Although the boy no longer gave her that peculiar feeling of a swordsman, his sword strike was indeed skillful.

If we're talking about skill level, Broly's sword-swinging movements are very steady, while ordinary people who are just starting out, without a certain talent, won't be able to swing their swords so steadily.

"Come on, Broly, follow your sister's movements."

To confirm that this was not a coincidence, Yomi Isayama also picked up a bamboo sword and made a sword-wielding motion, but he wanted Broly to do it as well.

Broly imitated the sword techniques such as side slashes, diagonal cuts, and upward thrusts, mimicking the movements of a beginner.

"How is it, Sister Huangquan?"

After finishing, Broly looked at the girl nervously. It's hard for a novice to pretend to be an expert, but it's even harder for an expert to pretend to be a novice. He wasn't sure if he could convincingly portray himself as a swordsmanship novice.

"It's alright. She has a slightly better talent for swordsmanship than the average person, but she's still far behind me."

While Isayama Yomi said this on the surface, she was actually quite surprised. The boy didn't seem like a beginner in swordsmanship at all. Not only were the basic sword movements acceptable, but Broly also perfectly replicated the advanced sword techniques she used to probe his abilities, such as the Swallow Return.

"That's good."

Broly was relieved.

"Next, you need to learn how to infuse your spiritual power into the sword, enchanting the weapon so that it can damage spirits."

Isayama Yomi was determined to thoroughly explore the depths of Broly's talent, so she stopped giving any basic explanations and started demonstrating directly.

Since the aura of normal people in this world is not that strong, Broly could only sense that the aura of Isayama Yomi was faintly covering the bamboo sword in her hand, and was slowly dissipating on its own.

This method probably doesn't improve the bamboo sword's toughness; it's merely to make the weapon able to harm ghost-like creatures.

"Sister Huangquan, is it really true that if we do this, we can use the bamboo sword to exorcise spirits?"

Broly asked the question as he poured a wisp of energy into the bamboo sword. It's no wonder he asked, because the spiritual power in the girl's bamboo sword was so strong that it would probably be difficult to even break the skin of the ghostly creature he saw on his first day in this world.

"For ordinary Type D spirits, if there aren't many, a bamboo sword infused with spiritual power can indeed be used to deal with them. However, if you want to deal with more powerful Type C spirits or multiple spirits, you need to bring a professionally enchanted exorcism weapon. This kind of spiritual infusion is just a way to temporarily use other ordinary items as weapons when you don't have an exorcism weapon."

As Izayama Yomi explained, she was secretly amazed by the boy's talent; he had basically learned the Spirit Infusion Technique at a glance.

The strength and stability of the spirit infusion seem to be even greater than his own; in terms of endurance, the boy might even be stronger than him.

"Come on, Broly, let me teach you some real combat skills now."

Broly's talent was so amazing that Yomi Isayama abandoned the steady and methodical teaching method and decided to train the boy through sword fighting.

"Oh, may I?"

"Don't worry, your sister will adjust the training intensity according to your ability."

The girl, holding a bamboo sword, approached him.

"Are you ready?"

"Ah."

Broly nodded.

"I am coming!"

As Isayama Yomi stepped forward, the sound of bamboo swords clashing began to echo throughout the dojo.

[Her intermediate swordsmanship level... she probably didn't put in much effort. I'll just use a beginner level of swordsmanship, which is close to intermediate, to spar with her...]

Broly was unaware of the level of swordsmanship in this world and could only evaluate it using the swordsmanship standards of the Six-Sided World.

However, the swordsmanship that Isayama Yomi is currently displaying is only at the intermediate level in the Six Dimensions World, barely enough to sit at the same table as Aisha, who has been learning swordsmanship for two and a half years.
