Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 613 Aqua: Eh, evil spirits, is that considered dangerous?

"Keep an eye on her and don't let her run around."

Broly gave the White Shadow Ninja a few instructions and then returned to his seaside villa right on time.

"Master Aqua's technique is truly amazing."

Isayama Yomi and the others emerged from the bathroom with rosy cheeks, their words filled with praise for Aqua's bathing skills.

"Of course! I am the goddess of water, and when it comes to cleaning and removing dirt, I am a professional!"

Aqua held her head high, her white T-shirt trembling slightly.

"Water Goddess?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya asked in confusion.

"Ah, that's just a nickname, a compliment people give me for my superb bathing skills."

Aqua realized she had let something slip and quickly tried to cover it up.

[Is she a water goddess with superb bathing skills in a public bathhouse? That's a bit strange, isn't it?]

The women looked at her, and surprisingly, they all had the same thought in their hearts.

"Broly, we're done washing up, you should go wash up now."

When Yomi Isayama saw the boy carrying a fruit platter into the living room, she said something to Broly.

"it is good."

Broly glanced at his master and then agreed.

"Broly, let me help you scrub your back~"

Aqua understood and quickly replied.

"Eh?"

The women looked over in surprise, and Aqua tiptoed in and followed them into the bathroom.

"Broly's master really takes good care of him~"

Setsuna Imano spoke, and the others nodded.

"I just don't understand why someone as skilled at scrubbing bathhouses as Master Aqua would be unemployed?"

"Um, Sister Ming, when you go to the public bathhouse, will they have someone scrub your back for you?"

"I do not know."

"Ok?"

"Because I've never been to a public bathhouse."

"It was only natural," said Mei Isayama.

“I have been there, but I have never had the habit of letting a stranger scrub my back.”

Jiye said instantly.

After some discussion, those who were not very familiar with this area came to the conclusion that the bathhouse industry might be a sunset industry, as young people nowadays don't go to public bathhouses much anymore.

Even if they did go, they wouldn't really like hiring a bathhouse attendant to scrub their backs.

This is why skilled bathhouse attendants like Master Aqua, who are known as the goddess of water, have ended up unemployed.

“Master Aqua scrubbed our backs, probably because she wanted to show her own value and not be someone who was just freeloading in this house.”

Isayama Yomi made this conjecture, which everyone found quite reasonable.

"Sister Huangquan, you won't send her away, will you?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya tugged at Yomi Isayama's sleeve, seemingly a little worried.

"You little rascal, do I look like that kind of person?"

Isayama Yomi pinched the girl's cheek. Even if Aqua didn't have superb bathing skills, just the fact that the other party was Broly's former bathing master would make the girl not mind taking the place of the boy to take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days.

"Ah sneeze~"

In the bathroom, Aqua, who was scrubbing Broly's back, suddenly sneezed.

"Master Aqua, are you suffering from a cold?"

Broly turned around and asked.

"Ha, how could that be? I'm a goddess. I won't even get sick or catch a cold, let alone grow old or die."

Aqua washed her hands, rubbed her nose, and thought it might be due to the shower gel.

"It's probably because the shower gel has a strong smell that made me sneeze."

After a pause, she continued, "Is it because the native gods of this world couldn't find the soul we wanted, so they gave you this false information, causing you to get a soul that wasn't your future mother-in-law's, resulting in you putting the wrong soul into your future mother-in-law's body?"

Broly pondered for a moment, then nodded: "It's not impossible. Once the Sheep Talisman can be used again, I'll go back to the Great Spirit Vein and ask those local gods."

After Aqua finished washing Broly's body carefully, Naraku Isayama returned home. The one-armed old man brought back news to his family that the Tsuchimiya family's spiritual vein had been attacked and their inheritance ceremony had been disrupted.

"Ah, Uncle Naraku, is my father alright?"

Upon hearing this, Kagura Tsuchimiya's face was full of anxiety. Having already lost her mother, she did not want to lose her father as well, even though her father was usually quite strict with her.

"Don't panic, Kagura, your father is alright."

Isayama Naraku raised his hand and gestured for the girl to sit down first.

"He only suffered a backlash of spiritual energy after the inheritance ritual was disrupted. He's fine and will recover in two or three days. Right now, the most important thing is you."

"I?"

"The spiritual vein where the inheritance ceremony is held has been attacked twice already. The first time was when your mother's body was taken away."

"Hey, my mother's body has been taken away?!"

Kagura Tsuchimiya's eyes widened, but she stood up again.

"That's not the point. After a person dies, their body is just a shell."

Isayama Naraku offered a word of comfort and then continued.

"At first, the head of Jinguji deduced that the person who took your mother's body was trying to break the Tsuchimiya family's bloodline in order to find a way to subdue Byakuei."

After that, the Shadow Ninja Spirit attacked you, but was stopped by Lord White Shadow, and thus we learned the details of the Twin Ninja Spirits.

Upon discovering that they could not defeat you for the time being, and with the inheritance ceremony about to be completed, the Shadow Ninja Spirit launched another attack on the spiritual vein site of the inheritance ceremony.

However, although the opponent has seized Byakuei, they may not be able to subdue it. Based on my and Chief Jinguji's deductions, the Shadow Ninja's next target will likely still be you, with the aim of breaking the Tsuchimiya family's bloodline and reviving the great demon—the Nine-Tails…”

Broly stood by and listened. If he weren't the one behind the scenes, he probably would have thought Isayama Naraku's explanation made a lot of sense.

Of course, aside from some minor flaws, such as why not just capture Kagura Tsuchimiya's father if the goal was to break the Tsuchimiya family's bloodline, or that reviving the Nine-Tails didn't actually require breaking the Tsuchimiya family's bloodline—these are all hidden pieces of information.

“We need to strengthen your protection,” Isayama Naraku said, then asked, “By the way, has Lord Hakukage been visiting our house recently?”

“No more recently, Father. Teacher Baiying said that it has taught us everything it could, and the rest we need to figure out on our own. It needs to deal with its own dark side and said it will come to guide us again when there is an opportunity.”

Isayama Huangquan speaks the truth.

"Is that so..." Isayama Naraku pondered for a moment, then said to the others, "Yomi, you should try to stay home as much as possible these days."

After their strength increased significantly, Isayama Yomi and the others stopped staying at home, but now it seems they are going to retreat again.

"You've made this group of people so tense with your well-orchestrated storyline. Are you sure there won't be any problems when the truth is revealed later?"

Aqua sent a private message to her disciple in the group chat room, asking him questions.

"No problem, Sister Huangquan and the others promised that if I ever lie to them again, they will forgive me once!"

Broly, on the other hand, seemed very confident.

On the day he discovered that, in the eyes of others in this world, he was actually a super genius, Yomi Isayama and Kagura Tsuchimiya apologized to him at length, saying that they hadn't intentionally concealed it.

Although Broly didn't care much about this, he still took the opportunity to ask the two for forgiveness for deceiving them in the future.

"Hey, women's words can be deceiving. Even though they are young girls, you still have to be careful not to go too far, or they might not forgive you and even lower your happiness level."

"Don't worry, Master Aqua. Sister Yomi and the others are quite trustworthy. They always keep their word."

"Hey, Broly, are you subtly criticizing me?"

"No way~"

"Who is this?"

The master and disciple's private conversation was interrupted, and Isayama Naraku looked over.

He had wanted to ask for a long time, after all, Aqua had striking light blue hair.

However, when Broly came out just now, he was speaking in the middle of something and couldn't stop.

"Hello, my name is Aqua, and I'm Broly's mentor!"

Aqua stepped forward and introduced herself. "Eh?"

Seeing the look of surprise on her father's face, Isayama Yomi quickly stepped in to explain.

“Father, Broly used to support himself by working in public bathhouses as a body scrubber, and Miss Aqua was his body scrubber…”

"Broly, did we ever work at a public bathhouse?"

Aqua asked curiously, of course, in the group chat room.

"No."

Broly shook his head slightly.

"Then what should we do..."

"I guess Sister Huangquan made up her own thoughts based on what I said, but I was just earning happiness points by making everyone feel happy through bathing."

"Well, that does count as being able to support myself."

Aqua felt that, if you really had to say what Yomi Isayama said, there wasn't anything wrong with it.

"I see."

After hearing his daughter's explanation, Isayama Naraku nodded.

“Miss Aqua, you are Broly’s mentor and have been kind to this child. In principle, you can stay at our house for as long as you want. However, as you just heard, our house may be in danger later.”

Well, if you'd like, I can arrange a new job for you with excellent pay. What do you think?

"No, I want to be with Broly."

Aqua refused without hesitation.

Work?

What job?
She came to this other world for a vacation.

By the way, I'll help my own disciples out by reviving one or two people here.

Seeing Aqua intimately embracing Broly, Naraku Isayama frowned.

Some suspect that Aqua is someone who engages in a master-disciple relationship.

However, he soon noticed his niece and the Imagino sisters beside him.

Well, Broly's adopted son's luck with women is simply astonishing. There are already five women in his family who could become his wives in the future, so it seems that adding another master wouldn't make any difference.

“I’m just worried that it’s dangerous for you to stay here. If you’re not afraid of danger, then I have no reason to ask you to leave.”

"Danger? What danger?"

Aqua asked instinctively.

"I don't know if you believe it or not, but there is a possibility that some dangerous evil spirits might come to attack our home."

Naraku Isayama explained.

"Hey, an evil spirit, is that considered dangerous?"

Aqua asked with some surprise, as if she couldn't equate evil spirits with danger.

"Ok?"

Everyone looked over.

Broly: "..."

"Well, my master, like me, can also see spirits. She can use a feather duster and a broom to clean them up, just like sweeping away dust and garbage."

"Eh?!"

The crowd was somewhat surprised, but it also seemed reasonable. They could completely accept that the super genius Broly had a bathhouse attendant who could also see and deal with spirits.

"That's right. Evil spirits are nothing but trash in front of me, Aqua."

I thought Broly was praising his goddess and puffing out her chest, but she was right; the evil spirits of this world were no match for her.

Unless there are creatures like giant frogs, Aqua's abilities and stats are so high that she could practically do whatever she wanted in the world of Ga-Rei.

Even if those pure spiritual earth gods nurtured by great spiritual veins came, they would probably be taken away by a few powerful purification spells in front of Aqua.

As the saying goes, "Restraint is paramount, and special attacks are the work of gods," this saying is very fitting for Aqua's current situation in this world.

"In that case, I won't say anything more."

Previously, the adopted son Broly was ignorant and did not understand his own strength, but now he has long recognized the situation and still said that his master Aqua was powerful. Then the other party must be a capable person. Isayama Naraku did not lose his temper and directly said that he wanted to see the other party's exorcism ability.

"Huang Quan, I still have some things to arrange, so please take good care of the guests at home for me."

After giving these instructions, Isayama Naraku hurriedly left again, but there were more exorcists around the seaside villa as a protection force.

There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days but not being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Isayama Naraku and Jinguji Ayame were searching for the shadow ninja's whereabouts from beginning to end.

That evening, when arranging sleeping rooms, Aqua, using the excuse that she hadn't caught up with her disciples in a long time, pulled Broly to the room that Isayama Yomi had arranged for her.

"Clap~"

Looking at the closed door, Izayama Yomi and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

In the end, they were too embarrassed to knock on the door and ask Broly to come out and sleep with them.

Or perhaps he would propose to Aqua, his mentor whom he had only met today, that they should sleep together under the same quilt.

"It looks like we'll have to sleep together tonight."

Back in her room, Isayama Yomi slept on the floor as usual.

Although Broly was absent tonight, the Imakino sisters were there earlier.

So, if we're going to sleep together, we'll have to sleep on the floor.

"It feels a bit strange not having Broly to hold."

As Isayama Mei lay down, he felt a sense of emptiness.

"Sister Ming, if you don't mind, please hug me."

Shizuru Imano had a good relationship with her, probably because Mei Isayama had a slightly cold temperament that was somewhat similar to her older sister.

"Sister Huangquan, is my father alright?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya then asked the girl beside her.

"Kagura, Father said that Uncle is fine."

"Then my mother's remains..."

Isayama Yomi didn't know what to say to comfort the girl, so he could only pull Tsuchimiya Kagura into his arms and gently stroke the back of her head to soothe her with his actions.

As for Broly, the 12-hour cooldown of the Sheep Charm had expired. He used the Sheep Charm to send his soul out of his body, handing his body over to his master. His soul then sank underground and quietly left his seaside villa.

Upon arriving at Hibiya Park, we easily passed through the sealed entrance and entered the depths of the Great Spirit Vein.

"Earth God, come out here!"

Upon landing, Broly stomped his foot on the sea of ​​Naraku's remnants, causing the entire space to tremble violently.

At this moment, he was just like a monkey who had caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, except that he didn't have the golden cudgel, but only an excessively powerful spirit.

"Ah, Lord Broly, what are your orders now?"

An old man, resembling the Earth God, appeared and, seeing the boy's accusatory look, quickly asked.

The other local deities also dared not neglect their duties and quickly rushed over.

"You said the soul I wanted was in the core of Bai Rui, but after I got Bai Rui and put it back into my future mother-in-law's body, why did she behave like a dog?"

Broly didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

He believed what the other party said, which is why he didn't hesitate to insert Bai Rui into his future mother-in-law's body after obtaining her.

"Ah, no, you didn't do anything before putting Bai Rui into a living person's body?"

The old earth god was also a little confused after hearing his description.

"Does this need to be addressed?"

"Of course."

"Then why didn't you tell me before?"

"Well, you didn't ask."

Broly: "..."

The old-looking local deity looked at him with a somewhat innocent expression.
