Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 59: Maillard is a good person
Esdeath just wanted to fight, while Merad really wanted to get the strategy secrets, so neither of them held back and the fight started fiercely.

In a head-on combat, Esdeath is stronger than Merad, who is proficient in assassination. However, since she had practiced with Broly for a long time in the morning and afternoon during the journey, she had consumed a lot of physical strength and now does not have much advantage.

Although Maillard's physical strength was intact, he could not really kill anyone, and some deadly assassination techniques could not be used. For a while, the two men fought on equal terms, and it was difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.

The place where Maillard asked Esdeath to exchange her true love for his true love was not far from where the team was going to camp tonight.

As a result, their fight soon attracted the attention of children who came to collect branches and fetch water.

"Someone come quickly, it seems like Sister Esdeath and Sister Merad are fighting."

one of the younger kids yelled.

"Eh?!"

The children who were setting up the tent were startled and ran to the lake to see what was going on.

When we got there, we saw Esdeath and Merad engaging in a rapid offensive and defensive battle.

Esdeath's physical skills are somewhat similar to Merad's, both movements are very concise and there is not a single bit of drag.

However, one of them is a move specially trained to kill dangerous people, focusing on large-scale opening and closing movements, with kicking and punching with large amplitude.

The other is to learn how to kill people and practice the movements that have been trained. The range of motion is very low, making it difficult for people to judge the specific attack intentions based on the movement of limb muscles.

"Amazing!"

The children were amazed at the realistic scenes that looked like they had been edited from a martial arts action movie. When Esdeath had been sparring with her eldest brother on the road before, there hadn't been this feeling of a fierce fight. It was more like kids playing house, but now they had that feeling.

"What happened?"

The older children were a little confused and didn't understand why the two started fighting.

"Come on, Esdeath!"

Broly didn't know why they were fighting, but that didn't stop him from cheering for the girl in the fight when he saw Esdeath's happiness value rising rapidly.

Hearing the cheers, Maillard staggered and was almost kicked in the side by Esdeath.

Fortunately, her body was flexible enough and she twisted away like a water snake.

Esdeath's kick missed the target and only left a dent in the tree trunk next to it.

Meladella stood at a distance and glared at the boy not far away.

She was a little angry, but there was nothing she could do.

"Ms. Maillard, you need to work harder!"

At this time, Cassandra, who was standing among the children, also shouted.

Although they didn't know what happened, since Broly and Cassandra both cheered them up and had no intention of stopping the two from fighting, they didn't care much about the reason for the fight between the two.

The children all cheered for the person between the two who they felt closer to.

Although Esdeath joined the team two days earlier than Merad, she is more of a lone wolf. The children's impression of her is that of a powerful sister who likes to pick fights with her big brother.

Although Maillard had only joined the team two days ago, she had won the love of some children in the team with her gentle image of a rich girl. With the addition of Cassandra, a very capable little maid, there were actually four or five children in the team cheering her on.

Excluding some older children who did not cheer, the number of children cheering for Esdeath was about 50-50.

“See? This is my charm!”

Seeing this, Maillard felt better.

"No need to waste time, just take my flying kick."

Esdeath didn't care much about whether anyone cheered her on or not and attacked again.

After a fight, the sky darkened and someone's stomach growled. Before the winner was decided, because Esdeath's stew was more delicious, she had to go and make some soup, so the fight ended there.

. . . .

"By the way, why did you two fight?"

After dinner was ready, Broly asked this question while they were eating together around the campfire. He was also a little confused about why the two of them suddenly started fighting.

"Brother Broly, this shouldn't be the most important thing. The most important thing is why Miss Merad, who is able to fight Miss Esdeath on equal terms, would fall into trouble because of encountering robbers."

He didn't say anything when he was beating her, nor when he was making dinner. It was only during dinner that Nahaxiu asked about it.

They are children, but not fools. Since Merad can fight against Esdeath who made it to the semi-finals of the Western Martial Arts Tournament, there is no way he would be attacked by ordinary thieves and need help from them.

"Ms. Maillard, be sincere." Cassandra said this as Maillard turned an inquiring look at her maid.

"Okay, I won't pretend anymore. I was actually the contestant who was defeated by your eldest brother before she was defeated in the competition."

Merad said, pointing at Esdeath.

"The contestant who was defeated first?"

The children were stunned.

"Who's here?"

Maillard: “…”

"No, you really don't remember, the martial arts tournament has only been over for a few days?"

"Oh, now I remember, you are the girl who was strangled by the eldest brother."

"But you don't look like her, do you?"

"That's because I've changed my appearance. Do you understand what change means? It's just like your eldest brother deliberately dressed himself up to look miserable in the arena. I did that to hide my identity."

Maillard shouted with a red face.

"But why do you want to hide your identity?"

Hei Tong asked curiously.

"That's because, well, there are all sorts of reasons."

Maillard didn't really want to say it.

"Miss, be sincere."

Casandora reminded again.

"Okay, I get it. This is because my true identity is an assassin."

"Eh?!"

The children looked over in surprise. They had seen bandits before, but had never seen an assassin.

"Then why did you sneak into our team? Are you planning to harm my brother?"

Nahasu became alert, and the other children also looked at her warily.

"I didn't intend to do anything, I just wanted to get him."

His identity had been revealed, so Maillard had nothing to hide and gave a reply that was much more generous and open than before.

The children were all surprised. Akame, Kurome, and Mine's eyes widened. Only Broly's eyes lit up and he asked directly, "Are you still willing to take us in as your subordinates and provide us with food and lodging?"

"Eh?!"

The kids looked at Broly again, not really understanding what he meant, and Broly explained to everyone what Maillard had said in the ring a few days ago.

"I thought there was no chance, but I didn't expect she would still be willing to give us a chance to be her subordinates."

Broly sighed a little. In his opinion, being a subordinate meant having food and lodging provided for you.

"Mallad, you are such a good man."

Broly gave the assassin girl the nice guy card.

"what?!"

Maillard was a little stunned.

"Didn't you make a lot of money at the martial arts tournament? Why do you still want me to provide you with food and lodging?"

She couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, we make a lot of money, but what does that have to do with our desire for free food and lodging?"

Broly didn't quite understand why she was confused.

“Having money to buy food and being able to eat free rice don’t seem to conflict with each other.

As for food sources, the more the better. How can you complain about having too much? "
