Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 578 Rejected Feeding, Sharing Secrets!
The kittens, less than two weeks old, didn't drink much milk. After drinking two vials from the syringe-like bottle, they stopped drinking, stood up unsteadily in the hands of the three people, and started meowing.

"What's wrong with them?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya handed over the silicone head and noticed that the little black cat in her hand was licking its lips, no longer sucking on the goat's milk as before.

"Let me see……"

Isayama Yomi has never raised a kitten, but the internet is already widespread in this world, so you can search for answers to any questions online.

"Yes, a kitten's meow usually means three things. The first is that it is hungry and is calling for its mother."

“They don’t drink goat’s milk anymore, so I don’t think it’s this.”

Kagura Tsuchimiya looked at the black kitten in her hand and said.

"The second reason is that you are cold or feeling unwell."

Isayama Yomi continued reading while holding her phone.

"The weather shouldn't be cold now, and I took my pet to the vet at noon, so that's not the reason."

Broly could sense the kittens' breath, and the three little guys were in very good health.

"That should be the third scenario."

"what's the situation?"

"A sense of security is important. Kittens born in multiple litters are used to having their brothers and sisters around them. So, once they find that they are not with their companions, they will feel very insecure and will call out to gather with their brothers and sisters."

The three looked at each other, then put the kittens on the ground. A moment later, the three little guys, who had been meowing, came together with their unsteady crawling steps, and as if a mute button had been turned on, they stopped whimpering and lay down together.

"It really is."

Kagura Tsuchimiya's eyes are sparkling, and the sight of the three little ones together is truly heartwarming.

"After they've eaten and drunk their fill, you need to use cotton swabs or damp tissues to wipe their bottoms, mimicking a mother cat licking them, to help them defecate?!"

Afterwards, Isayama Yomi looked up some precautions for hand-raising kittens and learned what else needed to be done.

After a series of actions, the three little guys, having eaten, drunk their fill and relieved themselves, were put back into their cat carriers, which were then placed in a corner of the living room. The three little guys had settled in at the Isayama family's house.

"Now that we've dealt with the kittens, it's time to take care of us humans. Tonight, I'm going to show off my skills, so you two can just wait for a delicious meal!"

Yomi Isayama put on a scarf, and Broly went over to offer his help.

"Me too."

Seeing this, Kagura Tsuchimiya quickly followed.

"Ah, you don't need so many people to make tempura..."

Even so, Yomi Isayama still asked the two of them for help, and they did some simple tasks.

She was in charge of chopping the ingredients, beating the eggs, preparing the breadcrumbs, and so on, while she herself was responsible for frying.

The three of them working together made it a bit faster to finish dinner.

When Isayama Naraku was called out, he noticed that his family's dinner time that evening was about fifteen minutes earlier than usual.

Of course, that's not important. What's important is that Tsuchimiya Kagura looks like she's perked up.

"It seems the three of you get along very well!"

"Of course."

Isayama Yomi stood tall, having made considerable efforts in the process.

"Sister Huangquan, can you summon your spirit beast?"

Just as Broly was about to start eating, he remembered something and spoke to the girl who brought the food.

"Hey, Broly, what brings you here to see Ran Honglian?"

Although Isayama Yomi found it strange, he still picked up the Lion King from the side and summoned the spirit beast inside.

"I received a Soul Crystal this morning and wanted to feed it to Luan Honglian."

As Broly spoke, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the Evil Spirit Crystal from the Crystal Palace.

Luan Honglian looked at the boy with many puzzled eyes, but when Broly took out the black crystal and handed it to it, this spirit beast, which had been passed down through generations of the Isayama family, took a big step back.

Broly: "..."

Is that backward movement for real?

"Ah, what is this? Is it the Killing Stone? But something seems off?"

Isayama Naraku's eyes widened, and he asked the question directly.

"This is the crystallization of the soul."

Broly replied.

"But why is this place filled with miasma?"

Miasma, also known as resentment or karmic obstacles, is not a good thing.

"Because this is a crystallization of the soul obtained from an evil spirit."

"How did you get it?"

"After exorcising the spirits, before they dissipate, you use spiritual power to wrap up their dissipated spirits, then compress them slightly, and that's how you get this thing."

Broly succinctly explained the process of creating the evil spirit crystal, even gesturing with his hand as if he were rolling a ball.

Beside them, Isayama Naraku and Isayama Yomi listened in a daze, seemingly imagining the boy kneading the evil spirit, their expressions becoming somewhat complicated.

Broly is a super genius, and they already have this understanding, but the fact that he can forcibly mold an evil spirit into a soul crystal is still somewhat beyond their common sense.

"So, you want to feed this thing to Luan Honglian?"

“I heard from Mr. Iizuna that spirit beasts can grow by absorbing soul crystals.”

"That's true, but it doesn't refer to these soul crystals filled with miasma."

"But Mr. Iizuna also said that the spirit beasts of the Isayama family can also grow by devouring evil spirits."

"Well, that's not wrong."

"But it doesn't seem to want to eat."

Broly pointed at the scorching lotus and asked.

Luan Honglian: "..."

It had multiple pairs of eyes on its face, looking innocently at the Isayama father and daughter who were looking in its direction.

"Broly, the Crimson Lotus grows by devouring evil spirits, and it also expels miasma, leaving only spiritual power."

The only creature truly capable of devouring the miasma along with the miasma is the Tsuchimiya family's spirit beast, Hakuei, because it is a ferocious beast born from multiple Killing Stones, which are crystallized demonic energy capable of absorbing miasma. Ranguren, however, is different; its core is a soul crystal.

Naraku Isayama then began to explain.

"So, this thing is useless now?"

"It can't be said that it's useless, it's just that it takes a lot of effort for the Chaotic Red Lotus to absorb it, and the consumption and the gain are not proportional, so it's a bit of a loss."

However, if given to a curse master skilled in manipulating miasma, this soul crystal filled with miasma could be quite valuable.

"Then this thing?"

"If you'd like, you can leave it to me to handle."

Broly thought for a moment, then handed the black crystal in his hand to Naraku Isayama.

After receiving it, Isayama Naraku took out a talisman and wrapped the black crystal in it.

"By the way, there's also this."

Broly reached into his pocket again and took out the pure soul crystal.

Ran Honglian, who had initially backed away because she disliked the black crystals, immediately approached them after seeing the white crystals.

"I want to give this to you, Sister Huang Quan."

"Hey, this is a real soul crystal, where did you get it?"

Broly didn't hide anything and told them about helping the old woman's ghost find her dentures and helping the cat mother's spirit save her kittens.

"This is the thank-you fee they paid me. I wrapped it up with my spiritual power and compressed it a little, and that's it."

Isayama Naraku: "..."

Isayama Yomi: "..."

How strong is this spiritual power that was used to forcefully suppress the formation of a soul crystal?

Shouldn't spiritual energy absorb the power of the unclaimed soul directly upon contact? If it wasn't absorbed, how precise is the control over this spiritual energy?
The two could only silently praise his extraordinary talent, but had nothing else to say.

"Broly, since you earned this crystal by helping spirits, you should use it yourself."

“But I want to share the burden with you, Sister Huang Quan.” “Then how about this, give it to the kittens. Anyway, raising them into spirit beasts will take some effort. With the help of soul crystals, we should be able to raise the three little guys into spirit beasts faster. Once they grow up, they can also help me.”

Isayama Yomi quickly decided on how to use the soul crystal. Ran Honglian looked at him with some resentment, but still obediently returned to the treasure sword.

The matter of the soul crystal was a minor incident. After dinner and washing the dishes, it was time for the bath.

"I'm sorry, Broly, I probably won't be able to take a bath with you tonight."

Isayama Yomi explained apologetically that she had to take care of Tsuchimiya Kagura, and the bathtub in the bathroom couldn't accommodate three people.

Furthermore, while Yomi Isayama herself was willing to bathe with boys, it didn't mean that Kagura Tsuchimiya would also accept bathing with boys.

"It's okay, I can wash it by myself."

Broly didn't seem to care much, and only went in after the girl and the girl had finished washing up.

The bathroom smelled of shampoo and shower gel, and the bathwater was still warm.

Even the Isayama family followed the custom that bathwater was usually used together.

Broly didn't take a bath; he simply rinsed himself off and came out.

Outside, Yomi Isayama, dressed in her pajamas, was playing video games in the room with a girl who had also changed into her pajamas.

Upon seeing Broly enter, Yomi Isayama quickly beckoned him over and let the boy sit in her lap.

The girl rested her chin on the boy's head, but instead hugged him and continued playing games with Kagura Tsuchimiya.

It's getting late, time to sleep.

After turning off the TV, Isayama Yomi suggested, "Kagura, why don't you sleep with me tonight?"

"Hey, is that okay?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course you can, you're my adopted sister."

"It's only natural," said Isayama Yomi.

Of course, her main concern was that the girl might feel uncomfortable or sad being alone.

The other person should be cherished and accompanied after losing a loved one.

"Well, um."

Kagura Tsuchimiya blushed slightly and nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll go back."

Broly stood up, preparing to leave the girl's room, when Isayama Yomi grabbed his hand.

"Where are you going?"

"Go back to your room and sleep."

"You hate your sister and don't want to sleep with her anymore?"

"But your bed..."

"My sister's bed is very big; it can easily fit the two of you."

"Hey, are we going to sleep with Broly?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya, who overheard the girl's words, asked in surprise.

"Any questions?"

"But Broly is a boy."

Kagura Tsuchimiya is eleven years old, but she is already aware of the difference between boys and girls.

"But he's also the younger brother you just recognized today, isn't he?"

"Uh……"

Kagura Tsuchimiya was a little conflicted; sleeping with her younger brother, who was even younger than her, didn't seem wrong. (For children only)
"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. I didn't let you two sleep side by side. Broly will sleep on my left and you on my right, with me in between. Is that acceptable?"

"Ah, if that's the case."

Kagura Tsuchimiya nodded.

"Kagura, let me tell you, Broly has a rather special constitution. It feels really comfortable to sleep while holding him."

After turning off the lights and lying in bed, the room was silent for a while before Izayama Yomi took the initiative to break the silence and brought up the matter with the girl on his right.

"Eh?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya closed her eyes, intending to fall asleep in this unfamiliar room and on this unfamiliar bed, but she was somewhat surprised after hearing these words.

"What, you don't believe me? If you don't believe me, you can experience it for yourself!"

As Isayama Yomi spoke, she turned around, hugged the boy on her left, and then spun him around.

Kagura Tsuchimiya: "?!"

If there's something in between, then it's actually a lie on your part, isn't it?
The girl instinctively pressed her body against the wall behind her.

Normal contact is fine, but lying in bed with your body touching closely is a bit too much.

At least for a boy of the opposite sex whom she has only known for half a day, Tsuchimiya Kagura is not very comfortable with immediate intimate contact.

"Don't be nervous, Broly is a very well-behaved boy and won't lay a hand on you."

Isayama Yomi sensed the girl's nervousness and quickly tried to comfort her.

"Broly, turn your back and let Kagura hug you too, okay?"

Broly: "..."

Are you only asking for my opinion now?

"Ah."

He didn't refuse, he just responded, and then Izayama Yomi manipulated him so that his back was to the girl.

Before him lay Isayama Yomi's slightly protruding chest beneath her pajamas.

Because of her age, the girl was not very old, but she was very shapely.

"Kagura, please give it a try."

With the girl's persuasion and the boy's refusal to make any unnecessary moves, and thinking about how they had spent a happy time together that afternoon, Kagura Tsuchimiya gradually calmed down.

"Ah."

She responded softly, tried to approach the boy beside her, and gently hugged him.

"Doesn't it give you a warm feeling?"

When Izayama Yomi saw this, he asked.

"It seems so, how did they do that?"

Tsuchimiya Kagura nodded.

"It's due to a special physical condition."

Isayama Yomi said with great certainty, and then continued to share.

"And besides that, can you also feel something flexible around Broly's waist?"

"Well, what is that?"

"It's a tail."

"what?!"

"Actually, Broly is an alien..."

The innocent girl was immediately drawn to his attention, just like how Izayama Yomi tricked her into coming to his house to see a cat doing backflips.

However, the cat that did the backflip turned into a Saiyan boy with a tail and an extraordinary origin.

She told Tsuchimiya Kagura the story Broly had told her on the first day, and the girl listened in a daze.

"Would you like to touch his tail yourself?"

"Hey, is that okay?"

"Um, Broly, is that okay?"

The girl asked, but her hand had already grabbed the tail.

So, you're only asking me this question now?
