Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 606 Broly: Oh no, they're coming for me?! (6k)

However, after following for a short while, they were spotted by Isayama Mei ahead and blocked at a corner.

"So, this is why you're following me?"

Broly did notice, but he didn't say anything.

"Sister Ming, is it not allowed~"

Isayama Yomi gripped the hem of her clothes with both hands, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Isayama Mei with clear eyes, asking in a trembling voice.

Isayama Mei: "..."

The scene of a pretty girl pretending to be cute and asking questions is a bit hard to resist, even for someone of the same sex.

“Okay, but there’s no need to sneak around. You can come home with me openly and honestly.”

Mei Isayama sighed.

"Great!"

Isayama Yomi cheered.

What was supposed to be a solo trip home has now turned into a situation where someone is bringing a group of people home with them.

"Ming, why did you bring so many people back?"

Isayama Yu was waiting for her daughter to come home, but when she saw the group of people following behind her daughter, she opened her mouth wide and asked her daughter a question.

"Father, when my cousins ​​found out that you were going to set me up on blind dates, they decided to come and help me choose the right ones."

As Mei Isayama explained, he welcomed everyone into his home. Broly, along with Yomi Isayama and the others, greeted Uncle Yu, and then noticed that the old man, who bore a resemblance to Naraku Isayama, was smiling somewhat reluctantly.

After having his maid serve everyone refreshments and tea, the other party beckoned to Isayama Mei and took his daughter to another room to discuss matters.

"What's wrong, Father?"

Isayama Mei was somewhat confused, feeling that his father was a bit mysterious.

"I told you that I arranged a blind date for you, but the real reason was that I heard my elder brother intends for you to become the future head of the Isayama family. Why did you also bring that girl, Isayama Yomi, to our house?"

Isayama Yu didn't like Isayama Yomi, her older brother's adopted daughter. In Japan, officially adopted daughters have inheritance rights. Her older brother was all alone, and if it weren't for Isayama Yomi, the Isayama family's property and the position of head of the family should have belonged to her daughter in the future.

"Ah, Uncle Naraku wants me to be the future head of the Isayama family? How come I didn't know about this?"

Isayama Mei was somewhat bewildered, not understanding why his father had said such a thing.

"Your older brother might be testing you, which is why he hasn't told you yet."

The quiet road of Isayama.

"Father, where did you hear this news? You haven't been deceived, have you?"

Although Isayama Naraku has been busy lately, she has still returned home a few times. During meals together, Isayama Mei did not sense that her uncle intended for her to inherit the position of future head of the family. She suspected that her father had been deceived.

"This is news from the Iitsuka family. The head of the Iitsuka family said that he has already tested my older brother's intentions, and he has no intention of passing on the position of head of the family to Isayama Yomi, his adopted daughter."

"That doesn't necessarily mean it will be passed on to me."

Mei Isayama suddenly thought of Broly, but she didn't tell her father that her uncle's family had an adopted son.

"It must be you. The head of the Iizuna family proposed a marriage alliance with our family. If that opportunistic guy hadn't known the exact details, why would he have come to propose a marriage alliance with our branch family of the Isayama family? He only came here because he smelled the benefits and the meat in his mouth."

The words of Jian Shan are truly insightful.

"So, what Father said on the phone about the blind date was actually true?"

Mei Isayama lowered his head slightly, his expression somewhat obscure.

"The head of the Izuna family sent many gifts, saying that his second son could become a live-in son-in-law. I've seen his photo; he's a handsome young man. I've also had his information checked. He has considerable talent as an exorcist. If he could become a live-in son-in-law, he would definitely be of great help to you. So, I agreed to the arranged marriage..."

At this point, Isayama Yu seemed to notice that her daughter's expression was not happy, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Of course, if you don't like the other person, you can just refuse."

Isayama Yu was not a domineering father. After Isayama Mei grew up and gradually showed her excellent talent as an exorcist, he actually listened to his daughter more in some family matters.

Although this man had some selfish motives, such as wanting his daughter to inherit the main branch of the Isayama family, he was a good father.

Compared to Isayama Yomi, Isayama Mei has an advantage: she has the blood of the Isayama family. Even without marrying into a family with relatives, she can secure her position as the heir of the Isayama family without attracting criticism from her relatives.

Therefore, whether or not to form a marriage alliance is entirely optional.

"Okay, I'll go and meet with them."

Isayama Mei nodded and then asked about the timing of the blind date.

"An hour later, the other party booked a private room at the Shangri-La Hotel."

"Then daughter, go and freshen up now. Father, please take care of our guests."

"it is good."

Isayama Yu nodded quickly. As the saying goes, guests are guests. If Isayama Yomi didn't compete with his daughter, he wouldn't be hostile to her.

Even when Isayama Yomi was a child, Isayama Yu bought her toys. However, her attitude changed after she learned that her older brother intended to raise her as the family heir.

After Isayama Mei finished washing up, he saw his father chatting and laughing with his cousin in the living room, a picture of a kind elder and a respectful junior.

As for the reason for her father's change of attitude, Mei Isayama could guess that he probably felt that his cousin would become an asset to him in the future.

That's how things are in this world; once your perspective changes, someone you used to dislike can suddenly become very agreeable.

Isayama Mei vaguely remembered that when she was a child, her father took her to her uncle's house and told her to take good care of her cousin and play with her.

It's just that her father's attitude changed after her uncle made his statement. Fortunately, her relationship with her cousin has improved again.

"Father, I'm ready. We can set off now."

Mei Isayama wore a pink kimono with cherry blossom patterns, light makeup, and her hair was styled in an updo secured with a hairpin, giving her a dignified appearance befitting a traditional Japanese Nadeshiko.

"Then let's go. Huang Quan, you should come along too, and help Ming find a suitable blind date."

When Isayama Yu made his call, the car had only four seats, so it wasn't easy to squeeze seven people in.

Fortunately, apart from Isayama Yuu who was driving, three of the other six people were children.

"Broly, sit on my lap."

"Izayama Mei called out."

Just then, Yomi was holding Kagura, Setsuna was holding Shizuru in the back seat, and she was holding the boy in the front passenger seat.

Broly did not refuse and obediently sat in Mei Isayama's lap.

For some reason, the girl behind him seemed to be hugging him more intimately than usual today.

[Maybe he was nervous about the blind date.]

Broly thought to himself, unaware that Isayama Mei, who was holding him, was currently contemplating something that would change their relationship.

"It's almost time, Ji Zhi, go down and greet your Uncle You."

At the Shangri-La Hotel, Izumaki Sadashi glanced at the clock in the private room and then gave instructions to his son beside him.

"understood."

Noriyuki Iitsuna gave a curt reply, but his face showed little energy. He had no interest in going on a blind date, but as the second son in the family, he could not disobey his father's arrangements.

After lighting a cigarette, Izan Kijiro stood somewhat nonchalantly at the hotel entrance, adopting an unreliable posture to lower the initial impression his blind date would have of him. This was the only way he could rebel against his father's haphazardly arranged blind dates.

Just as he finished his second cigarette and awkwardly squatted down, Isayama Yu's car finally pulled up in front of the five-star hotel.

"Uncle Isayama..."

Iizuna Noriyuki quickly threw down his cigarette and stubbed it out. He pretended that his true identity had been discovered and hurriedly put on a gentle and refined demeanor to greet him, but the next moment the words got stuck in his throat.

"So it's because Iizuna-senpai is going on a blind date with my cousin?"

Isayama Yomi, inside the car, greeted the young man outside.

【Wait, how many people are on this bus?】

As a large group of people disembarked from the car, Noriyuki Iitsuna's fake smile began to falter.

"Huang Quan, do you know the young master of the Iizuna family?"

"Uncle Yu, don't you know? Senior Iizuna is also a member of the Countermeasures Bureau, and I've heard from the Countermeasures Bureau that he's very popular with women."

Upon hearing this, Isayama Yu's face darkened. Being popular with women was just a euphemism for the other party being a playboy.

Noriyuki Iitsuna's face darkened. Although he was indeed popular with women, it wasn't his fault. He was just good at modeling, and he could get hit on even if he just went out for a drink.

Sakuraba Kazuki was a big mouth. After catching him drinking with different women, he spread some strange rumors about him, saying things like he was jealous and envious of him having different women with him every night.

Damn it, doesn't he know that the fox keeper can't stand women who wear heavy makeup and spray a bunch of cheap perfumes?

Moreover, many of the guys who approach you, besides smelling of perfume, also have a strong masculine scent.

Well, his reputation has been consistently damaged, but fortunately, with the help of Isayama Yomi, his first impression on Isayama Yu, the head of the Isayama branch family, is absolutely terrible, which is exactly what he wants to see.

"Father, we still need to meet with Uncle Iizuna."

Mei Isayama said something from the side, which made Yu Isayama resist the urge to turn around and leave, because he still wanted to get more accurate information from Sadayuki Iizuna.

And so, Iizuna Noriyuki led the way, followed by Isayama Yu with a dark face, and Isayama Yomi and the others chatting and laughing.

When the head of the Iitsuka family saw that Isayama Yomi had also come, he was somewhat surprised. Before he could ask Isayama Yu about the situation, Isayama Yu said, "My niece and the others are here to help her cousin make a decision. Mei is my daughter, and her happiness is very important. I hope the head of the Iitsuka family will not mind."

"I don't mind, I don't mind..."

While Iizuna Sadayuki said this, he was somewhat hesitant in his heart. He had not expected that the Isayama family would be more united than he had imagined.

After exchanging greetings and being served a sumptuous meal, the blind date officially began.

"Miss Ming is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

Iizuka Noriyuki first boasted that he had always been subservient to his father.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Mei Isayama thanked him and then served food to the boy next to him.

"Thank you, Sister Ming."

Broly thanked him, though he didn't know why Isayama Mei was being so enthusiastic towards him today, he was still very happy.

Yes, he enjoyed the meal. The food at this hotel was quite good, and he decided to buy some more to put in Crystal Palace later.

"So many women, then I suppose my nephew has had many girlfriends, right?"

Isayama Yu was the first to fire.

Izuna Teiichi was taken aback and looked at his son.

"No."

Iizuka Noriyuki quickly denied it. "But I heard from Yomi that you're known as a playboy in the Countermeasures Bureau."

Isayama Yomi: "..."

She didn't say it that bluntly.

Izuna Sadashige's face darkened. He glared at his son, then looked at Isayama Yomi with some suspicion before asking Isayama Yu: "Master Yu, isn't there some misunderstanding here? I know my son. He has never messed around with other women. Our fox spirit is very sensitive to smells. Is someone slandering my son?"

Isayama Yu naturally knew that the other party was alluding to the slanderous things Isayama Yomi had made, but the matter of marriage alliance with the other party's family was not very important, so he did not give face: "He is your son, not my son. How do I know if he has been messing around outside?"

Iizuna Sadayuki's face darkened even more: "Isayama Yu, what do you mean?"

Seeing the tense situation before him, Setsuna Imano leaned closer to Yomi Isayama and asked, "Yomi, is your uncle really trying to set your cousin up on a blind date?"

The former girl from the Forbidden Path of Curses couldn't quite understand it; she had never seen a blind date scene that started by disrupting the entire event.

"Uncle Iizuna, please don't be angry. I believe Mr. Noriyuki is not a playboy. My father used some inappropriate words."

Mei Isayama took the initiative to ease the atmosphere, and it worked. Iizuna Sadayuki softened his expression, but the next moment the girl said, "However, there is something I don't understand about today's matchmaking. I would appreciate your guidance, Uncle Iizuna."

“Niece, please speak freely.”

"Your son is handsome, and I heard from my father that he is also very talented in exorcism. Why would he want to marry into a branch of the Isayama family?"

[Of course, it's for the connections and assets of the Isayama family's main branch!]

How could he possibly speak such a blunt truth? Iizuna could only reply tactfully, "Then naturally, it's because your uncle is optimistic about your future."

"Uncle Iizuna is joking. I am just a daughter of a branch family. What good future could I possibly have?"

Iizuna Sadashige fell silent. He first glanced at Isayama Yomi, who was watching the scene with amusement, and suspected that the Isayama branch family wanted to give the adopted daughter of the main family a good beating. After thinking for a moment, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Doesn't my niece know?"

"Clear what?"

"That's because Mr. Naraku intends for you to take charge of the future affairs of the Isayama family's main branch."

"Ooh, cough cough cough..."

Upon hearing this, Isayama Yomi choked and began to cough violently.

"Sister Huang Quan, are you alright?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya quickly helped pat her back, and Broly also leaned over to pat Yomi Isayama's back with concern.

On the other side, Noriyuki Iitsuna looked at his father beside him with a shocked expression, then at Yomi Isayama coughing opposite him, and then at Broly next to the girl. If he remembered correctly, Yomi Isayama had said before that only boys would become the future head of the Isayama family.

"Father, are you mistaken?"

What did I do wrong?

Noriyuki Iitsuna hesitated for a moment, not mentioning the boy, but instead pointing at Yomi Isayama and saying, "Everyone knows that the Naraku family head favors Yomi-san, so how could it suddenly become Mizuki-san?"

"Heh, you don't know this. I heard the head of the Naraku family say it with my own ears. He said he wouldn't hand over the Isayama family to his adopted daughter..."

The head of the Iizuna family confidently recounted what happened after the emergency exorcism alliance meeting that day.

Upon hearing this, Isayama Yu was very excited, feeling that his elder brother still valued family ties and had no intention of handing the Isayama family over to outsiders.

Mei Isayama remained calm and asked, "Did the head of the Iizuna family personally hear my uncle Naraku say that he would hand over the Isayama family to me?"

"No, not at all. But if the Naraku family head doesn't entrust the Isayama family to you, his niece, then to whom else could he entrust it?"

Iizuna Sadayuki felt that this logic was correct, given that he did not intend to hand the child over to his adopted daughter.

"So, you think I'm the future heir to the Isayama family's main branch, which is why you sent your son to this arranged marriage?"

"That's right, and it's a good thing for both of our families."

Iizuna nods in agreement, saying that it would be best if the daughter of the branch family inherited the position of head of the main family and had the support of relatives and family members.

He was willing to offer his second son's marriage, allowing him to marry into the Isayama family, something other families might not be able to do, sending their outstanding children to other families to become sons-in-law.

"But you seem unaware that my uncle has adopted another son. Is it possible that my uncle intends to hand over the Isayama family to this new adopted son?"

"Wow~"

As soon as Isayama Mei finished speaking, Isayama Yu stood up, the chair legs scraping against the ground.

"Ming, is this true?"

I don't know if it's true or not, but I think my cousin should know the situation.

Isayama Yomi had caught her breath. Seeing everyone looking at her, she thought about her current strength and realized she should be able to protect her younger brother. She nodded and admitted, "Yes, I know, and that's what my father meant. The future head of the Isayama family will be Broly."

As she spoke, the girl picked up the boy next to her and made him sit on her lap.

Broly was somewhat bewildered, while Mei Isayama wore an expression of unsurprised surprise.

"How can this be?"

The head of the Izuna family did not believe it.

“This is what my father told me himself, and the reason is very simple: Broly’s talent is amazing, he is better than me, so he is more suitable to inherit the position of the Isayama family.”

"Sister Huangquan, how come I didn't know about this?"

“Your father thinks that you are still a child and that excessive praise might affect your growth, so he asked us to keep it from you. But you have been my brother for so long now, and I believe that you are not the kind of child who will get arrogant if you become outstanding, so there is no need to continue to hide it.”

"Izayama Yomi said with a smile."

"So, how does it feel to know that you're actually a genius?"

Broly: "..."

So, his "ordinary persona" was already ruined from the start?
"But Sister Huangquan, don't you feel resentful that I took away your position as head of the family?"

He immediately asked what he was thinking.

"Well, at first I was a little resentful, but now, well, what can I do? You're my good little brother!"

Broly: "..."

So why did he do so much, creating the Black and White Ninja Duo and having them perform a double act to train the girls?

Broly thought for a moment and then looked at Iizuna Noriyuki across from him. It was this man who had told him about Isayama Yomi's pressure and how much she valued the position of head of the family.

When Iizuna Noriyuki saw the boy looking over, he smiled at him and said, "I'm here for a blind date with the future head of the Isayama family. Since you, Broly, are the future head of the Isayama family, that means I'm actually here for a blind date with you today!"

His joke made many people present turn pale, and Isayama Yomi even pulled the boy on his lap into his arms, looking at him warily.

"No, I was just joking. I'm not gay, and I don't have any hobbies like priests!"

When Noriyuki Iitsuna realized that the people present didn't seem to understand that he was joking, he quickly explained.

But the suspicion did not dissipate because of his explanation.

"Better so."

Isayama Yomi gave him a warning look.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's call off this blind date."

The head of the Iitsuka family stood up with a dark face. If he had known that the daughter of the branch family of the Isayama family was not the future heir of the Isayama family, he would have thought that they were going to arrange a marriage.

"Head of the Iizuna family, don't forget to order the bill."

Isayama Yu offered a reminder, but his face was also dark.

"I need to ask my older brother what he's thinking."

A blind date ended badly.

The only gain was probably packing up the leftover food.

Broly's hands were itching, but looking at the packed food, he decided to let the guy who gave him false information off the hook.

Of course, the more important reason is that although the information was false, which led him to carry out some random training plans for exorcist girls to become stronger, both Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura were happy during this process, as evidenced by their triple-digit happiness scores.

"Ah sneeze~"

Iizuna Noriyuki sneezed, which could potentially damage his reputation again, leaving him somewhat helpless. But for now, he decided to return to the countermeasures bureau to get back to work.

With no more blind dates planned, Father drove directly to Uncle's place. Isayama Mei hailed a taxi and took Isayama Yomi and the others home before going home himself.

In the evening, as expected, his father returned with a dark face: "I simply can't believe that my eldest brother, your uncle, is still going to hand over the Isayama family to outsiders."

“You don’t need to be so angry, Father.”

Isayama Mei came up behind him and started massaging his shoulders.

"How can I not be angry? Although I shirked my duties as an exorcist when I was young, didn't I still train you?"

"My elder brother doesn't even consider you, his own niece. From now on, the Isayama family will be called the Isayama family by name, but in reality, it will have no relation to us. We will be outsiders with outsider blood."

"how could be?"

"Why not?"

“Father, don’t forget, the heir to the Isayama family is a boy, while I am a girl.”

Isayama Mei increased the pressure on his hand and said softly.

"What's wrong now..."

Isayama Yu's voice suddenly stopped.

"what do you mean?"

He felt he understood what his daughter meant.

“Even if I inherit the Isayama family, I will still have to find a son-in-law. But now I don’t have to. As long as I can marry the future head of the Isayama family, the child born from my womb will also have the blood of the Isayama family.”

"Uh, Ke Ming, don't you feel wronged?"

Isayama Yu hesitated for a moment.

"Feeling wronged? Not at all. Broly is a very cute kid. I spent a lot of time with him and I didn't dislike being with him."

The only thing to say is that I've been proven wrong. I used to think it was abnormal for my cousin to have orthopedics, but now I'm the one who needs orthopedics.

Fortunately, I didn't directly mock my cousin's orthopedics background before, so it wasn't too embarrassing.

Isayama Yu stood up and walked around the living room a few times, feeling that her daughter's idea was truly brilliant.

If I can't become the future head of the Isayama family, then I'll become the wife of the head of the Isayama family.

The meat is all cooked and left to rot in the pot; we're all family, so let's not mince words.

"No, I have to go talk to my older brother about this again."

The marriage arrangement didn't fail; it just involved a different partner!
