Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 569 The Tsuchimiya couple are attacked, and Broly becomes a left-behind child.

That evening, after finishing a meeting of the Exorcist Alliance, Naraku Isayama drove home and parked his car in front of the door when he suddenly sensed a chilling aura of evil spirits mingling with the familiar aura of his own spirit beasts.

A powerful evil spirit has broken into the house, and Huang Quan is using the Chaotic Crimson Lotus to fight it off?!

With this guess in mind, the head of the Isayama family, who had lost his left arm, grabbed the spiritual weapon knife from the passenger seat and rushed towards the dojo where he felt the strongest entanglement.

"Bang~"

The main gate of the dojo was kicked open.

"Huang Quan, Broly, are you alright?"

With his hair turning slightly gray, Isayama Naraku made a dazzling appearance before the two of them.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Inside the dojo, the girl with Luan Honglian lying beside her looked over in surprise.

"I sense the presence of an evil spirit!"

As Isayama Naraku spoke, his gaze drifted toward the direction of the hanging evil spirit.

The source of that chilling aura was the figure floating behind the boy.

“Hey, this is…”

Isayama Naraku exclaimed in surprise, but before he could finish speaking, his adopted daughter interrupted him.

“Father, that’s a C-rank spirit that Broly just contracted today, and I’m giving him practical training on how to control contracted spirits.”

"Ah, you mean that's a C-rank spirit?"

Isayama Naraku opened his mouth wide, raised the spiritual weapon in his hand, and pointed it at the ominous spirit, asking his daughter a question.

"That's right, it's a C-rank spirit. Broly just learned the Spirit Contract Technique this afternoon, and I took him out to practice the spell. He easily formed a contract with the spirit in a haunted house!"

As Isayama Yomi spoke in the same tone, she gave her adoptive father a meaningful look. Isayama Naraku, on the other hand, looked as if he had just eaten a whole sour plum, and his face scrunched up in a grimace.

"Is that so? Broly is really amazing!"

Pointing out A as C, Isayama Naraku could only follow his daughter's words and stiffly praise the boy.

"Ahem, Father, Type C is only a lower-level spirit. Although it's a very good achievement for a beginner's initial contracted spirit, praising Broly like this might make the child arrogant..."

Isayama Yomi had to remind his adoptive father, lest he forget what the other had just told him yesterday and expose himself.

"Ah, yes..."

Looking at the mess in the dojo, and recalling the two intertwined auras he had sensed after returning home, Isayama Naraku could easily imagine what kind of battle the boy's contracted 'C'-rank spirit had fought with the spirit beast passed down through generations of his family before he even arrived. He thought it was outrageous, but on the surface, he absentmindedly echoed what his adopted daughter had said.

"Well, Broly, although the spirit you've contracted is quite good, don't get arrogant."

Composing himself, and sheathing his magical sword, Isayama Naraku spoke these words to the boy with a heavy heart (his inner thoughts were complicated).

"Sister Huang Quan, is my contracted spirit considered powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Broly looked at Yomi Isayama and asked her a question.

"Being able to fight against my sister's Luan Honglian without being defeated is indeed a pretty strong contracted spirit, but it is still far from being a truly powerful contracted spirit, such as the Tsuchimiya family's Hakuei, who is known as the strongest spirit beast by outsiders."

Isayama Yomi quickly gave examples to illustrate her point, but she was a little guilty. She wondered if the boy would be angry if he found out the truth later.

"Buzzing..."

Just then, Isayama Naraku's cell phone vibrated.

"Hey?"

Isayama Naraku took out his phone to answer the call, and his expression quickly changed drastically.

"What's wrong, Father?"

When Izayama Yomi saw this, he immediately inquired about it.

"The head of the Tsuchimiya family and his wife were attacked by a large horde of evil spirits on their way home after the Exorcism Alliance meeting!"

"Hey, there are even evil spirits that dare to attack Bai Rui's contractors?"

Isayama Yomi exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Rui, also known as the Spirit Eater, is the strongest spirit beast controlled by the Tsuchimiya family and recognized by the outside world. The price of its contract is that the contractor must always walk the path of exorcising spirits, and every once in a while, he must feed Bai Rui evil spirits. It is a ferocious beast that truly devours evil spirits!
To Izayama Yomi, the idea of ​​evil spirits attacking Byakuei's contractors was like a long-legged buffet owner going to deliver food to a gluttonous person.

"Huang Quan, the spirit-eating Bai Rui is indeed very strong, but the exorcist who contracts with it is not invincible."

"Ah, Father, you mean..."

"Something has happened. The wife of the Tu Gong family head is seriously injured. If other exorcists hadn't noticed the abnormality and rushed to help, they might already be dead."

"Uh……"

Isayama Yomi felt a little embarrassed. Perhaps it wasn't right to have this mindset at this moment, but she had just mentioned the strongest spirit beast, Byakuei, to Broly, and then news of Byakuei's unfortunate contractor from the Tsuchimiya family came over. It felt like she had just boasted and then been slapped in the face.

"I need to go to the Tsuchimiya family's place to help out now. You guys can have dinner; you don't need to wait for me to come back."

After finishing his words, Isayama Naraku hurriedly left the dojo.

Inside the dojo, Yomi Isayama and Broly looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Sister Huang Quan, shall we continue our training in contracted spirit combat?"

Broly broke the silence first and asked a question.

"Never mind, given the current situation, I need to go protect my father."

Isayama Yomi shook his head.

But in fact, during the training session where she commanded her contracted spirits to fight, she already knew that the strength of the hanging evil spirit controlled by Broly was only slightly weaker than that of Ran Honglian, which she controlled.

If Broly had the opponent attack not Ranguren, but himself, the exorcist who commanded Ranguren, he would likely become the weak point in the group.

The noose ability of the Hanging Evil is extremely useful in dealing with humanoid creatures; if you're not careful, a noose will appear on your limbs and neck.

In dealing with spirit beasts like Luan Honglian, those densely packed lassos can also exert a very good control effect.

If Ran Honglian doesn't use her Roaring Wave, she'll likely be in a lot of trouble and have difficulty escaping if she gets entangled in a large number of hanging ropes.

"Broly, I'm a little sorry, but I'd still like to trouble you to watch the house."

Isayama Yomi turned around and spoke to the boy who had followed him.

"Uh, okay, I'll keep an eye on the house."

Broly had intended to go with them to protect his father-in-law, but after being asked by the girl, he stayed behind to watch the house.

"Father, wait a moment, I'll go with you."

The girl stopped Isayama Naraku's car as he started it.

Isayama Yomi opened the passenger door and got in.

"You want to come with me to the Tsuchimiya family?"

"I'm with the Lion King, and I'm worried about my safety on the road."

Isayama Naraku immediately understood that his adopted daughter wanted to protect his past.

"What about Broly? He's still a child. Are you just going to leave him alone at home like this?" "There's a protective barrier at home, and he has that powerful contracted spirit with him. It should be fine."

"No, that contracted spirit is the biggest problem, okay? What if it gets out of control..."

"Please rest assured, Father, even if it gets out of control, it doesn't matter, because the opponent is no match for Broly..."

When Isayama Yomi quickly recounted the details of how the boy subdued the hanging evil spirit in the haunted villa, Isayama Naraku in the driver's seat gaped wide-eyed.

The head of the Isayama family thought that the superior evil spirit had been weakened by his daughter's use of the Crimson Lotus and the other exorcists from the Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau, and that the exceptionally talented boy had successfully subdued it. But the result was not like that at all.

"Using pure spiritual power to subdue a superior spirit? Huang Quan, are you sure you didn't misread it?"

“It’s absolutely true. Besides me seeing it with my own eyes, other colleagues in the Countermeasures Bureau also saw it.”

"It seems that the child's spiritual talent is even more amazing than I imagined. No, it's not just amazing, it's monstrous."

Isayama Naraku had an urge to laugh out loud three times, but the Tsuchimiya family had suffered a sudden tragedy, so now was not the time for joyful laughter.

"Ahem, alright then. Let Broly stay home and watch the house. You and I will go to the Tsuchimiya family's place to handle some matters."

The car drove off quickly. Broly stood at the door and watched the taillights disappear into the distance. He locked his aura onto Yomi Isayama before closing the door.

"It's just us left at home, let's tidy up what needs to be tidied up."

Walking back to the dojo and looking at the mess, Broly said to the hanged man beside him.

"Uh?!"

The hanging ghost made a questioning sound, and after confirming that the boy wanted it to help with the housework, it shook its body.

"What? Your hands and feet are just for show, and the only thing you can actually control is the rope around your neck, and even then, you can't really control the force very well?"

Broly watched as the hanging ghost manipulated the noose to try and wrap it around the wooden paper sliding door on the ground, but broke the door due to excessive force, and a speechless expression appeared on his little face.

"Seriously, of all the summons I've ever summoned, you're the weakest."

Broly commented sharply, then waved his hand, telling the hanging spirit not to bother cleaning up.

"White Shadow Ninja, come out!"

Broly raised his hand towards the light-filled ground and summoned the ninja army, but after a while, nothing appeared.

"Hey, the curse from Xiaoyu's world can't be activated in this world?"

Broly could clearly feel the energy that created the White Shadow Ninja flowing out and then returning to him.

"No, it's not that it can't be activated, but rather that it needs to adapt to the systemic power that exists in this world. However, this might require some research..."

Broly hesitated for a moment, then switched to using the Water Elemental Summoning. He converted his Qi into magic power, which then propelled the formation of water magic. Within the clear, clean liquid water, a stable summoning core was formed, and a water elemental that looked like a slime appeared before him.

"Clean this place up."

Broly gave the order, and the water elemental began to move with a gurgling sound. Like a vacuum cleaner, it sucked up the dirt and grime, and even carried the broken door outside to be discarded.

The water elemental returned and stood before the hanging spirit, gurgling as if wondering if the hanging spirit was also trash that should be discarded.

Hanging Spirit: "..."

It sensed a strong threat from the harmless, round water elemental, as if the strange creature before it could easily tear its spirit apart if it so desired.

Feeling threatened, the hanging spirits subconsciously created numerous nooses, surrounding the water elemental.

The water elemental seemed to sense the hostility of the ghostly creature before it and switched directly from cleanup mode to combat mode.

The round slime transformed into a water spirit, and the water inside its body began to spin rapidly, seemingly preparing to form a powerful vortex that would engulf and tear apart the spirit in front of it.

"Alright, this isn't trash." Broly stepped in front of the water elemental just in time, and after speaking to the water elemental, he looked at the hanging spirit on the other side, "You really are something, don't provoke summons that are stronger than you. Now go get a trash bag, it'll clean it up, and you'll pack and tie up the trash!"

Broly assigned tasks to the two summoned creatures, thus averting a potential fight between them.

"Sigh, they don't seem very smart."

Looking at the two obediently working summons, Broly couldn't help but sigh. He missed the more intelligent White Shadow Ninja.

Although water has a greater capacity for containment, it is somewhat clumsy in distinguishing friend from foe, and because it is composed entirely of water, it cannot do things like making beds or folding blankets.

. . . .

Naraku Isayama quickly drove to the Tsuchimiya family's residence, and no evil spirit attacks occurred along the way.

"Yale, I'm dying. The family's exorcism mission and the matter of Kagura are now in your hands."

With a huge gash in her abdomen caused by an evil spirit, Tsuchimiya Mai, who was only temporarily clinging to life through a secret technique, was giving her final instructions to her husband.

"dance……"

Tsuchimiya Yaraku held his dying wife and wept bitterly.

"Madam's time is running out, Master. We must immediately begin Bai Rui's inheritance ceremony."

The monks of the Tsuchimiya family who rushed over after hearing the news of the incident all tried to persuade Tsuchimiya Gagaku.

"Lord Tsuchimiya, how is Lady Mai?"

It was at this moment that Isayama Naraku entered with his adopted daughter, Isayama Yomi.

"Isayama, I need your help."

Wiping away her tears, Tsuchimiya Yaraku resumed her demeanor as the head of the Tsuchimiya family.

"Lord Tsuchimiya, please speak."

"The inheritance ceremony requires 49 days of soul imprinting, during which I cannot leave the spiritual vein node, but I need someone to help me with the outside matters."

"Ah, what merit do I possess?"

“Among the branches of the family, you, Isayama Naraku, are the most prestigious. If you can’t win people’s hearts now, then the others are even less capable. The only person I can ask for help now is you.”

"I will certainly live up to Lord Tsuchimiya's expectations!"

After entrusting external affairs to Isayama Nara, Tsuchimiya Garaku did not hesitate any longer. He took his critically ill wife to the Tsuchimiya family's spiritual vein node. The Tsuchimiya family's exorcist followed him into the spiritual vein and cast a spell to help Tsuchimiya Garaku suppress the strongest spiritual beast, Byakuei, within Tsuchimiya Mai before completing the soul imprinting.

That night, Naraku Isayama stayed at the Tsuchimiya residence with his daughter, helping to receive other guests who came to inquire about the situation on behalf of Tsuchimiya Gyakaku.

The next morning, Isayama Yomi returned home to pick up a change of clothes from the girl.

"I'm sorry, Broly, the Tsuchimiya family, the head of the Isayama family, has encountered some unexpected problems. My father and I will probably have to help out there recently, so you will probably have to stay home alone for the next few days."

"Do you need my help?"

Broly asked.

Upon hearing this, Izayama Yomi shook her head: "This is a matter for the Tsuchimiya family. Father has not yet announced your adoption to the public."

"Now is not the time to discuss this, so as an outsider to the Tsuchimiya family for the time being, it's not appropriate for you to get involved."

But in fact, her status as an adopted daughter of the Isayama family for many years was also the subject of discussion among her relatives in the Tsuchimiya family.

Those discussions were simply about whether her father truly regarded her as the family successor and was raising her by his side.

This situation existed before, but now that the head of the Tsuchimiya family has disappeared from the public eye and his father is temporarily acting as the leader of the Exorcism Alliance and the family lineage, the change in the power of the main family may intensify this discussion.

Broly's involvement is not a good thing; it will only add more controversy and put pressure on the boy.
