Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 582 The Retrieval of the Remains: A Night Raid on the Tsuchimiya Family!

When facing Tsuchimiya Kagura, Isayama Naraku showed no mercy. Allowing a child with insufficient abilities to go out and exorcise spirits was almost tantamount to murder.

Upon returning home and entering the dojo, the one-armed head of the Isayama family used his cane to give the girl who had picked up the wooden sword a sound beating.

"Kagura, now you understand. You can't even beat a disabled person like me, while I, your uncle, had to be prepared to be killed when facing a higher-level evil spirit. I lost this arm when I faced a higher-level evil spirit, and your mother..."

Naraku Isayama stopped abruptly at this point.

“I’m sorry, but this is for your own good. I heard from Huang Quan that the higher-level evil spirits were easily subdued by Broly. Broly’s spiritual power completely suppressed the evil spirits.”

"Yes, you shouldn't compare yourself to those with monstrous talents that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary geniuses. Your uncle believes you will definitely become an excellent exorcist in the future, but right now you still need to learn many things, rather than risking your life to deal with evil spirits."

When Broly returned from the countermeasures bureau, the first thing he saw was a girl with a plaster on her arm: "Kagura-neechan, are you injured?"

"It's nothing, I just sparred with my uncle in swordsmanship, and I asked him to train me seriously in what I made."

Kagura Tsuchimiya looked a little nervous, but the two of them, seeing the location of the ointment on her arm, explained as if it were nothing serious.

"Kagura also wanted to exorcise spirits with you, but I thought this child still needed to accumulate knowledge and learning, so I refused her."

Isayama Naraku came over and offered an explanation. Isayama Yomi understood, but Broly was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Exorcism, isn't that a very simple thing?"

"Most of the Tsuchimiya family's exorcism abilities are in Byakuei. Kagura is a girl, and her body hasn't developed yet at this age."

Dealing with evil spirits, like the one you successfully contracted and then released, is still a bit of a stretch, Broly. I hope you understand that.

Isayama Naraku didn't put on a serious face and lecture the boy about the difficulty of exorcising spirits, because the boy's talent destined him to be different from other ordinary exorcists.

What would be a near-death experience for an ordinary exorcist, the evil spirits were probably no different from an ordinary stray dog ​​in the boy's eyes.

The only thing he needs to work on is how a boy's mind might become inflated when faced with the power that comes with such overwhelming talent.

"Broly, you're a boy, so it's only natural that you're stronger than a girl like Kagura. From now on, you'll have to protect Kagura and me, okay?"

Broly was deep in thought when Yomi Isayama chimed in, interrupting him. Broly stopped thinking, nodded seriously to the girl, and replied, "Yes, from now on, I will protect Yomi-nee and Kagura-nee."

[Exorcism Girl Training Program, 1 more member being trained]

"Broly, you really are reliable!"

Kagura Tsuchimiya said something, her expression a mixture of joy and sorrow.

[If Broly had been there to protect her when her mother was in trouble, would she have survived?]

After understanding what a superior evil spirit is, Kagura Tsuchimiya couldn't help but have such thoughts.

"I will work hard to learn exorcism techniques and try my best to become an older sister who can protect my younger brother."

My father was right. Only by becoming strong can we prevent tragedies from happening.

My mother wasn't strong enough, and my father and I weren't capable enough, so my mother died.

From now on, I need to become even better!

The girl was very determined. After finishing her meal, she stayed alone in the dojo and began to practice with her bamboo sword.

"Kagura, the bathwater is ready!"

Not long after, Isayama Yomi came running over to call her.

"Sister Huangquan, you go ahead and wash up. I want to practice my swordsmanship a bit more."

"Your arm is injured, is it really necessary to exercise like this?"

"No, it is necessary, because I have discovered that my strength is still far behind that of a true exorcist."

"Uh, my father is actually a very powerful exorcist. Isn't it normal for a child your age to lose to him?"

"Not my uncle."

"That is?"

"It's Broly."

Why would you compare yourself to that child?

"I was thinking, if my mother's child had been his and not mine, would she not have died?"

"what?"

"Of course, I know there are no 'what ifs' in this matter, so I need to become stronger and work harder. Only in this way can I prevent some sad things from happening again in the future."

Izayama Yomi opened her mouth, unsure of what to say about the girl's changes. After a moment's thought, she said, "To become stronger, you need proper training; simply burying yourself in training won't work."

When Broly arrived, he found the two of them practicing swords together: "Sister Yomi, didn't you come to tell Sister Kagura to take a bath? Why are you practicing swordsmanship with her too?"

"Sorry, it just turned out this way naturally."

"Then I'll practice swordsmanship with you too?"

"No, you go wash first, and then we'll go."

Broly's request to join the sword training was rejected, and Yomi Isayama told him to go take a bath first.

"That child's swordsmanship talent is also very impressive. When he first picked up a sword, he could fight on par with an expert like me. It can be said that his talent is second only to his spiritual power."

After Broly left, this is what Yomi Isayama said to Kagura Tsuchimiya in the dojo. I wonder if the girl felt embarrassed after learning the truth.

Broly finished his bath and changed his clothes not long after and ran over to call the two of them. Tsuchimiya Kagura did not continue to insist on practicing swordsmanship. Instead, she listened to Isayama Yomi's advice and rested when she should rest and practiced hard when she should practice hard. She was taken to take a bath by the girl.

From the bathroom came the sounds of girls playing and laughing, while Broly ran back to his room alone, preoccupied with what was to come that evening.

When Yomi Isayama and Kagura Tsuchimiya came out after taking a bath, they were surprised to find that the boy was already asleep on his bed in their room.

"This child looks tired too."

Thinking about what happened in the afternoon, Isayama Yomi took the boy to the countermeasures bureau and was then directed by Chief Jinguji to continue investigating and dealing with some paranormal locations, and they dealt with some more evil spirits.

"Then tonight?"

"Of course, it's just the two of you, your sister, spending time alone together!"

The room door was closed again, and the cool girl pinned the girl against the wall, pinched the girl's chin with her hand and said something.

Clearly, Kagura Tsuchimiya had read quite a few of the manga "Isayama Yomi Shoujo," which caused her, the girl being pinned against a wall for the first time, to blush and have her heart race.

"Hey, Kagura, look at you, are you captivated by me?"

Isayama Yomi, seemingly stepping out of the male protagonist character design of a shoujo manga, teased the girl.

"No!"

Kagura Tsuchimiya, blushing from the teasing, retorted. Broly, in the room, glanced at the Crystal Palace panel and noticed that her happiness level had increased. Late at night, in the stillness, Broly, who was sleeping alone that night, quietly left the Isayama family through the window. Upon arriving at the Tsuchimiya family cemetery, the black and white ninjas were already waiting for him, each carrying a shovel.

"Let's sneak in and dig up the graves without being discovered by the cemetery caretaker."

The black and white ninjas nodded, and Broly watched as the two ninjas, each displaying their unique abilities, infiltrated the cemetery.

"Wait, where are you going?"

However, Broly stopped the shadowy ninja who was sneaking towards the room where the administrator was and asked him a question.

The shadowy ninja who had been stopped poked his head out from the ground and made a throat-slitting gesture at Broly.

The meaning is clear: it intends to deal with the cemetery manager and make him sleep soundly until he never wakes up.

"I'm sending you to dig up graves, not to kill people, understand?"

Broly's lips twitched as he said, "The other party wants to learn my assassination and infiltration techniques? That's quite something."

The shadow ninja's crimson eyes froze for a moment, then he nodded when he saw the serious look in his young master Broly's eyes before sneaking out of the shade of the trees and into the cemetery.

When the two ninjas arrived at Mai Tsuchimiya's gravestone, Broly took out his side-sliding phone, turned on the phone light, and stood beside it, instructing his two summoned creatures to carefully dig up the grave: "Don't damage the grave, we'll have to restore it later."

The black and white ninjas' gazes lingered on the phone in the boy's hand for a moment before they pulled out shovels from their bodies and got to work.

Digging up a grave is simple, but digging it silently requires some skill. It took about fifteen minutes for the two ninja soldiers to dig open the grave and reveal the coffin that had just been buried underneath.

Broly handed his phone to the White Shadow Ninja and went to open the coffin, expecting to see a stiff corpse, but there was only a set of clothes inside.

"Where's the body?"

Broly was taken aback. The black and white ninjas exchanged glances, unable to answer the question.

"Could it be that some corpse thief stole Kagura Tsuchimiya's mother's body before we could?"

Broly muttered to himself, but the grave didn't look like it had been opened beforehand.

. . . .

The caretaker of the Tsuchimiya family cemetery was woken up from his sleep.

When he woke up, the ninja knife at his neck and the biting cold in the room made him too afraid to move.

"Tell me, where is Lady Tsuchimiya's body?"

With his back to the room window, bathed in moonlight, a short man dressed in black and masked asked in a hoarse voice.

[No way, there are actually people still stealing corpses in this day and age?!]

The administrator's eyes trembled, but he still replied with great pride.

Do you think I'd tell you?

So, you're not afraid of death?

The crimson in the shadow ninja's eyes turned almost to blood after Broly uttered those words.

"This old man has lived most of his life, and I've long since forgotten about life and death..."

Before he could finish speaking, the caretaker stopped, looking at the shadowy evil spirit that had raised its ninja sword as if preparing to behead him. He immediately changed his words, saying, "The Tsuchimiya family has a succession ceremony. Lady Tsuchimiya needs to cooperate with the ceremony, and her body will not be truly buried in the cemetery for three months."

[Who came this corpse thief? Stealing corpses from the Tsuchimiya family cemetery without even checking the situation?]

"My lord, I've told you everything you want to know. Can you spare my life?"

The administrator was very pragmatic; he sat down on the bed and asked questions.

"You still haven't told me where the body is!"

"In the spiritual vein land of the Tsuchimiya family."

Broly: "..."

Fortunately, he had bought a map.

"Mark it on this map for me!"

He threw the map of the Crystal Palace in front of the other person and said coldly in a hoarse voice.

administrator:"……"

He was also somewhat bewildered, unable to figure out what was going on with the black-clad men who had come to raid him at night.

Not only were they unaware of the Tsuchimiya family's inheritance rituals, but they also didn't know where the Tsuchimiya family's spiritual veins were located, making them appear completely like outsiders.

"Okay, my lord."

However, the administrator quickly marked it on the map. When the spiritual vein was passed down, there were a group of exorcists guarding it. If an evil spirit went there at this time, even if it was a high-level spirit, it would be almost like courting death. So he naturally wouldn't refuse to help the other party find the way to hell.

Just as he finished marking the map, ready to leap out of bed at any moment and ignite the last remaining flame in the Tsuchimiya family's old bones, the evil spirits in the room and the corpse thief who seemed to be controlling them vanished into the darkness, actually letting him, the cemetery caretaker, go.

The old administrator, who had been lying on the bed in a daze for a long time, his clothes gradually soaked with cold sweat, finally got up to make a landline call to contact the Tsuchimiya family.

"Someone has their eye on the inheritance ceremony and is preparing to make a move on the spiritual vein land. Wait, what? They've already made their move, but..."

But after making the call, the old administrator was somewhat bewildered, because the family's spiritual vein land had been attacked by a group of evil spirits.

. . .

"As expected of the Tsuchimiya family, even with precautions in place, the evil spirit tide formed by a large group of evil spirits could not even break through the outer barrier."

Sanzukawa and Hiro used their shamanic arts to remotely observe the tide of evil spirits they had orchestrated with the Killing Stone, which was now impacting the Tsuchimiya family's spiritual veins but was on the verge of failure.

"It seems that we need to plan ahead and make a long-term decision regarding the Killing Stone held by this family."

Just as he was about to retreat, a gap appeared in the middle of the evil spirit tide, as if something had suddenly smashed through it.

However, after obtaining the marked map, he rushed over to Broly in the Spirit Vein Land without stopping.

He had been observing from the sky for a while. Although he didn't know why the Earth Palace family's spiritual vein was being besieged by a group of spirits, that wasn't important. What was important was that he could use the cover of those besieging spirits to break in.

Of course, he only wanted to take away Tsuchimiya Kagura's mother's body, not to kill Tsuchimiya Kagura's clan, so...

"You clean up the evil spirits in the second half, and I'll clean up the ones in the first half."

After saying that, Broly took out an ordinary iron sword that was always kept in the Crystal Palace, imbued it with spiritual power, and began to slash at the horde of evil spirits in front of him.

The black and white ninjas also drew their ninja swords, facing the evil spirits that kept surging from behind. No wonder it was so hard to find the evil spirits; it turned out that most of them were here.

The time for exorcising spirits has arrived in the dead of night, but the ninja spirits' blades will show no mercy.
