Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 605: The Monster Ox and Horse - Isayama Mei is Being Arranged for a Blind Date by Her Father
Anyone can swing a sword and make a whooshing sound, but if you can swing it and make a sonic boom like cracking a whip, that's terrifying.

Upon arriving at the Isayama family's dojo, Jinguji heard only such sounds, giving the head of the countermeasures bureau the unsettling feeling that humanity might have quietly evolved without taking her with them.

"Is this the effect of the Earth God's personal guidance? How many days has it been?"

Koji Iwabata, sporting a mohawk, had a twitching eye, and the others from the Countermeasures Bureau who had followed him had similar expressions.

However, we should get down to business first.

"Ms. Setsuna, the Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau welcomes you to join us."

A week has passed since Setsuna Imano handed over the Black Four Crossbows. Ayame Jinguji relayed the news to the Tsuchimikado Tei family, the main branch of Onmyōdō. After a considerable period of discussion, they finally reached a conclusion: Onmyōdō would accept the Imano sisters and provide them with protection.

If the Cursed Path attacks them, the Yin-Yang Path will also stand up for them. The conditions, besides the Black Four Crossbows, are that after Setsuna Imano, she must become a lifetime employee of the Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau until she reaches the legally stipulated retirement age, if she is still alive by then.

"Thank you, Headmaster Jinguji."

Setsuna Kinno had no complaints about the conditions, and she felt that the head of the countermeasures bureau must have put in a lot of effort to achieve this result.

"No need to be polite. From now on, we're all on the same side. Miss Setsuna, I have high hopes for your abilities and performance in the Countermeasures Bureau."

Ayame Jinguji did indeed put in a lot of effort; without her guarantee, the Tsuchimikado Tei family wouldn't have agreed so easily.

After saying that, Jinguji Ayame leaned close to Isayama Yomi's ear and whispered, "Yomi, can you tell me the secret to how your strength has increased so quickly?"

Isayama Yomi looked at the white-clad ninja, who remained still, but looked over. After seeing that Broly, who was sitting next to the girl, had no objection, he nodded to the girl.

Upon seeing this, Isayama Yomi explained to Jinguji Ayame that he and the others had been injected with a special drug given to them by the White Shadow Ninja.

"No, what kind of medicine can bring about such a complete transformation in such a short time?"

Jinguji Ayame was questioning Isayama Yomi, but her gaze was fixed on the white-clad ninja.

[Gene Evolution Agent]

The white-clad ninja directly raised a sign in response and even took out the remaining gene evolution drug syringes to show to the countermeasures bureau personnel.

Upon seeing what the white-robed ninja was holding, the members of the Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau fell into an eerie silence. The expressions on everyone's faces were strangely unsettling, because the high-tech gene-injector and the white-robed ninja's ancient-style appearance were simply incongruous.

"Gene evolution serum, a belt that allows for armor transformation, a concept of 'enemy and ally sharing the same origin'... wait, Mr. White Shadow, are you really a Kamen Rider?"

Sakuraba Ikki is the person in the Countermeasures Bureau who knows the most about Kamen Rider. He has a strong sense of déjà vu and can't help but start complaining.

"Can anyone use this potion? Does Lord Baiying have more? Could you provide some for us?"

Coming to her senses, Jinguji Ayame looked eagerly at the white-clad ninja and asked him a series of questions.

Whether the medicine is safe or not is certain; otherwise, it wouldn't have been given to Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura for use.

As for whether there are more potions, the answer is yes, but not in this world; at least Broly doesn't have any more.

Sumire Muroto gave him 10 bottles of the potion, but the Black Bullet World's production of this evolution potion wasn't even enough for the people of that world to use themselves.

After Broly used the ten bottles of potion on his three kittens and Yomi Isayama, only two bottles remained.

He even drank one of the bottles himself. It didn't taste very good, and it didn't seem to have any enhancement effects on strength or speed. But that might be because his physical body was too strong, and the improvement was too small to be felt. However, his body's self-healing ability did have a slight improvement.

The potion in the white-clad ninja's hand was the last one.

This is the last bottle.

The white-clad ninja's answer left Ayame Jinguji somewhat disappointed.

"Lord White Shadow, may I obtain the formula for this potion from you?"

Jinguji Ayame asked, and then immediately added a sentence.

"Whatever your request, we will do our best to fulfill it."

Unfortunately, I don't know the formula for this medicine.

The white-robed ninja shook his head.

"Oh, and what is this?"

This potion was obtained from some great being; I did not create it myself.

The white-clad ninja was very honest, holding up a sign to answer Jinguji Ayame.

"Some great being?"

Jinguji Ayame wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by the "No Comment" sign in the white-clad ninja's hand.

"Alright then, but I wonder if you could give us the last bottle of evolution potion?"

As a second-best option, given the advanced state of modern technology, it might be possible to use scientific methods to reverse engineer the ingredients of this miraculous medicine.

The white-clad ninja shook his head at this.

"We are very sincere; whatever you need, we can provide it..."

This isn't a matter of sincerity; I've already promised to give the potion to the head of the Isayama family.

The white-robed ninja answered.

"what?"

Jinguji Ayame looked towards Isayama Yomi.

"Uh, that's right."

Isayama Yomi didn't expect that the gene evolution serum would be so scarce, because the White Shadow Ninja was very generous. They gave it to them as soon as they asked for it, and even the three cats at Broly's request were given to them.

I never expected that the medicine I asked for for my father would be the last bottle.

Should it be given to the countermeasures bureau, or to the father?

After thinking for a while, Isayama Yomi said, "This is what I asked Teacher Shirakage for on behalf of my father. If you really need it, you might as well contact my father."

The girl decided to pass the buck to her father to make the decision. Jinguji Ayame quickly called Isayama Naraku. After a conversation about considering the bigger picture and wanting to research the gene evolution potion, she successfully obtained the last bottle of gene evolution potion from the White Shadow Ninja.

Jinguji Ayame thanked the White Shadow Ninja and Isayama Yomi, then hurriedly took the medicine back to the Countermeasures Bureau, presumably to prepare for rapid research on the gene evolution medicine.

Although Broly didn't know how the gene evolution serum was made, he felt that the people of this world were unlikely to be able to replicate it.

Setsuna Imano thought that once she joined the Countermeasures Bureau, she would have to start work immediately, but she didn't expect that her first task would be to protect Kagura Tsuchimiya. It was no different from not going to work at all.

The group of people continued their routine of staying at home and occasionally going out for big shopping trips. The shadow ninja was still keeping an eye on the Cursed Path organization, but the attacks on training sessions did not stop.

The Isayama family has many young female sword saints eager for training, and they need more opponents for real combat to improve their strength.

Even now, if a wave of evil spirits attacks, without the White Shadow Ninja intervening, the three of them—Isayama Yomi, Isayama Mei, and Imano Setsuna—can easily annihilate all the attacking evil spirits.

The few that slipped through the net were all specifically reserved for Kagura Tsuchimiya to practice on.

Not enough to kill, not nearly enough. The scarcity of evil spirits in Tokyo is a problem.

Kazuhiro Sanzukawa, who believed he had seen through the truth behind the double act of the Black and White Ninjas, joined the Black Shadow Ninjas and began working the life of a lowly HR worker, getting up early and working late without a salary.

Every day, the moment he opens his eyes, he thinks about where to summon evil spirits. He summons evil spirits to attack the Isayama family almost every two or three days, turning himself into an elite monster who runs around everywhere, luring evil spirits to be his training equipment.

When Broly heard from the Shadow Ninja about this capable beast, he marveled at how lucky his summoned creature had been.

Broly acknowledged the other party's wish to revive their family, saying that it was probably just a matter of course for Aqua's master.

[Work hard, your master appreciates you very much, and he has granted your request.]

Just as Sanzu River and Hiro were working tirelessly every day, luring evil spirits to deliver combat experience packs to the Isayama family, a shadow ninja suddenly appeared and revealed text information to him, which surprised the butterfly boy greatly.

"Yes, Lord Shadow, I will work hard, but I don't know who my master is?"

Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

"Yes, I understand."

Although the shadow ninja did not reveal the identity of the person behind him, Kazuhiro Sanzu was still very happy, because the fact that the shadow ninja was willing to tell him that there was someone behind him proved that the person behind him had initially accepted him.

Given the strength the opponent has displayed so far, with just two ninja spirits acting in concert, they can create a climate of fear in the exorcism world. It would probably not be difficult for them to collect all the Sesshōseki stones. By hitching a ride on their coattails, I can definitely fulfill my wish to resurrect my mother in the future.

The butterfly boy felt as if he had eaten a pie drawn by the big boss. His spirit, which had been somewhat exhausted from running around and luring evil spirits, quickly lifted. He worked even harder, and the evil spirits he sent to the Isayama family became increasingly of higher quality.

The price is that this person works 007 every day, running around the Tokyo area to lure dangerous spirits into their trap.

Even with the help of the Killing Stone, Sanzu River and Hiroya almost lost to several high-level A-type spirits.

Fortunately, the white-robed ninja intervened and saved him from dying, preventing the beast he had painstakingly lured the monster from dying.

. . . .

Late July, summer vacation is approaching.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the Isayama family and others who are on leave from school.

However, a phone call came in, and it turned out that Isayama Mei was going home.

"Cousin, what happened at home that made you go back?"

Isayama Yomi came over and asked.

"Father seems to want me to go on a blind date."

While packing his things, Isayama Mei didn't hide anything and answered his cousin's question.

"Hey, going on blind dates at 15? Uncle You, isn't that a bit too hasty?"

Isayama Yomi found it somewhat unbelievable.

"15 years old is not early. The average lifespan of us exorcists is only in our thirties. It's quite normal for us to get married and have children early to leave an heir."

"The average lifespan of exorcists is not high because most of them are not strong enough and they will meet with misfortune when they encounter some dangerous spirits. But now that we are under the guidance of Teacher Baiying, our strength has become very strong. Do we still need to be in such a hurry about marriage?"

“You’re right, but this is my father’s wish. He told me to go back, so I have to go back. I am his daughter, and I thank you for taking care of me these past few days.”

The white-haired girl came out carrying her luggage, while the other members of the Isayama family stood outside the door.

Mei Isayama greeted everyone around him and said goodbye.

But to be honest, she was quite reluctant to give up this lively life.

She used to live alone at home.

Here, she has a younger brother, a younger sister, and an older sister.

We exercise together every day, discuss the shortcomings of each other's techniques, and fight against evil spirits together.

They grow stronger and stronger through their hard work and heartwarming daily lives, forging emotional bonds along the way.

But all good things must come to an end. As their strength increased, the threat posed by the Shadow Ninja Spirit gradually decreased, but her father still summoned her back.

Although she didn't know why it was an arranged marriage, she was used to listening to her father. Unlike Setsuna Kino, who successfully rebelled against her father, she had no reason or justification to rebel against her biological father who gave birth to her.

"Broly, you're a boy, so you have to take good care of your sisters from now on, okay?"

The white-haired girl came to the boy, knelt down, and began to give him these instructions.

"Ah."

Broly responded, and noticing that Mei Isayama seemed a little down, he asked, "If Mei-neechan doesn't want to go on a blind date, can't she refuse?"

Upon hearing this, the white-haired girl was taken aback and flicked his forehead: "This is an adult matter, children should mind their own business. Don't think that just because I've held you to sleep a few times, I'm like your sister Huang Quan and that I like you, little brat."

Broly: "???"

What is this person talking about?
Isayama Mei thought that this was the boy's possessiveness towards the women close to him, and that he didn't want her to go on blind dates.

Haha, although she has feelings for this child, she only treats him as a normal younger brother. It's completely different from the brother-obsessed feelings that her cousins ​​have, which could potentially escalate into something like incest.

"Well then, see you later."

Mei Isayama left.

"Let's go too."

Broly, who had just watched the other person walk away, was about to go back into the house when he heard Yomi Isayama say this.

"Hey, where are we going?"

"Of course, we'll go as part of the family and friends group to help my cousin make her a choice!"

"The increased strength has brought me confidence to go out," Isayama Yomi said matter-of-factly.

Her words were met with agreement from the others, except for Broly, who had not yet expressed his opinion.

"Broly, do you really want to see Sister Ming possibly go on a blind date with a bad man and be deceived by him?"

Isayama Yomi asked him this question.

"Well, if possible, I still hope that Sister Ming can find a good man through a blind date."

Broly quickly shook his head. Mei Isayama was actually quite good to him. Although it wasn't very obvious, he still treated him like a younger brother.

"So, this is where we come in! Sister Ming's blind date support team, let's go!"

"Oh~"

Everyone was very enthusiastic, but Broly always felt that they just wanted to watch the excitement.
