Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 616 Admit your mistakes, stand up straight when you get hit, sincerity is the ultimate weapon!

"It looks like it was separated very cleanly."

"It should be fine now."

"Put your soul inside."

……

In her dazed state, Tsuchimiya Mai vaguely heard such a voice. When she regained consciousness and opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a bed with two beautiful women standing beside her. One of them had light blue hair, and the other had brown hair.

The one with the brownish skin had a noticeably larger chest than the one with the light blue skin. After noticing that she was awake, she leaned down in front of her, waved her hand, and asked, "Can you hear me?"

"Yes, I can hear you."

Mai Tsuchimiya responded, and perhaps because Byakuei had lived in her body for a period of time, her voice was not hoarse at all.

"Excuse me, where is this place? Is this the world inside the Killing Stone?"

She sat up, but her consciousness remained stuck in the last moment before her death.

"The world inside the Sessho-seki? No, this is the operating room. Your takeover surgery was a complete success. From today onwards, you are a true man!"

Aqua put on a serious face and answered the question.

Mai Tsuchimiya: "???"

Her hand instinctively reached between her legs and touched the soft diaper. There didn't seem to be anything unusual inside, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"Lady Aqua, please don't make such jokes with someone who has just been resurrected from the dead."

Wiz felt this was very bad. If someone had said this to her when she had just become a lich, it would have definitely frightened her.

"I've done so much for her, and now, can't I even make a joke?"

Aqua complained.

The fact that she had to work during the holidays clearly left her with a lot of resentment.

Aqua doesn't blame her own disciples, but she blames others for the blame.

Mai Tsuchimiya, who had just been resurrected, was the one to be blamed.

"Resurrect me? What is your purpose? What have you done to my husband?"

Tsuchimiya Mai bombarded the questions with questions. She knew the fate of her soul, but now that she had been resurrected by a strange person, it was clear that something had happened to Byakuei, or rather, to the Tsuchimiya family.

"The purpose of resurrecting you is, of course, there is. Come on, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and sign this contract for me!"

Aqua took out a contract and slapped it on Lady Tsuchimiya's leg, who had just been fully resurrected. She looked like a ruthless bully trying to force someone to sign an unequal treaty.

"Whatever your purpose is, I will not agree to it."

This attitude further convinced Tsuchimiya Mai of one thing: the person who resurrected the dead against the natural laws of life and death was definitely not a good person, and the other party must be using her to achieve some ulterior motives.

"Ha, it's no use if you don't agree. Your daughter is already infatuated with my disciple. And this is a modern world where you don't follow those old-fashioned rules of arranged marriages. In modern times, free love is advocated. Even if you object, you can't stop your daughter from marrying my disciple and becoming his wife!"

Aqua sneered and launched a barrage of words at the wary Mrs. Tsuchimiya, who was lying on the bed.

"Woof~"

A small white dog nearby barked in agreement.

"???"

Mai Tsuchimiya felt like her brain wasn't working properly; what on earth was all this nonsense?

Only then did she pick up the contract on her lap and look at it, only to find that it said...

She, Mai Tsuchimiya, as Kagura Tsuchimiya's mother, was resurrected with the help of her prospective son-in-law Broly. She must firmly support Broly in marrying her daughter, Kagura Tsuchimiya.

If she breaks the agreement or opposes the marriage, then she's admitting she's an ungrateful wretch, and from then on, there will be no toilet paper, no seasoning packets in instant noodles, and the price of groceries will always go up...

What followed was a series of vicious curses that left her both amused and exasperated.

"I'm sorry, I was a bit rude."

Aqua's contract eased Mai Tsuchimiya's wary mindset.

"Can you tell me how long I've been dead?"

After thinking for a moment, the man asked.

Mai Tsuchimiya felt she should have been dead for quite some time.

After all, even his own daughter is about to get married.

"Lady Tsuchimiya, you have been dead for less than three months."

Broly answered her question honestly.

"So it was three... um, three months?"

"To be precise, it's less than three months, ten days short of three months."

"you are?"

“I am Broly, your daughter Kagura’s future husband, and also your prospective son-in-law.”

Tsuchimiya Mai looked at the boy beside her, who looked even younger than her own daughter, and fell silent for a moment.

"Can you tell me what happened between you and my daughter in the less than three months since I died, and why I was resurrected by you?"

"After your death, your daughter Kagura was taken to the Isayama family by Yomi-nee. As a child taken in by the Isayama family, I knew from the first moment I saw your daughter that I wanted her to be my wife..."

Broly then recounted in detail to Tsuchimiya Mai the process of how he and Tsuchimiya Kagura went from their first meeting to becoming acquainted.

"As for the reason for resurrecting you, it is simply because Kagura is saddened by the passing of your mother, and I wanted to cheer her up, so I decided to resurrect you from the dead."

"Oh, is that all?"

"Yes, that's the reason."

Mai Tsuchimiya felt that her reason for being resurrected was a bit absurd, but looking into the boy's sincere eyes, she didn't know what to say.

After thinking about it, she decided to find out how she was resurrected. Then, Tsuchimiya Mai heard from Broly about how he dug up her grave in the middle of the night and found it to be empty, and how he raided the Tsuchimiya family's spiritual lineage site to steal her body.

"This is my master Aqua, the supreme god of the heavens in another world. For her, resurrecting the dead is as simple as eating and drinking."

This is my teacher, Wiz, a lich who stands at the pinnacle of the undead race in another world. Your soul was able to be cleanly extracted from the Killing Stone thanks to her help.

Upon reviving her body, he discovered she had no soul. So he forced his way into the Great Spiritual Vein and confronted the local earth god within it to search for her soul. Then he ventured into the Earth Palace family's ancestral land to seize Bai Rui, only to find the soul was not right. He then broke into the Great Spiritual Vein again, nearly destroying it. Finally, he sought the help of a soul expert until he was revived.

After hearing the whole story, Tsuchimiya Mai felt it was utterly absurd, but since she had indeed been resurrected, it seemed to prove that the other party was not lying.

The fact that the other party was willing to go to such lengths for her daughter meant that, let alone disagreeing with him marrying her daughter, she, as his mother-in-law, would probably have to kneel down and kowtow to him twice when he married her daughter, Kagura. Tsuchimiya Mai had a thousand words in her heart, but what came out was: "Kagura, is she alright?"

"Okay, very good."

Broly then told Tsuchimiya Mai about her daughter, Tsuchimiya Kagura, who is now capable of easily killing more than a dozen B-rank evil spirits and is considered a quasi-sword saint in the modern era.

"Of course, she's a bit inferior to Sister Huangquan and the others, but the main reason is that Kagura's body hasn't fully developed yet and isn't suitable for excessive training."

Mai Tsuchimiya had already knelt up on the bed at some point, and as Broly finished speaking, she placed her hands in a V-shape on the bed in front of her, and the next moment she bent her waist deeply.

"I am deeply grateful for your kindness and have no way to repay you. If you don't mind my daughter's situation, I entrust her entire life to you, Mr. Broly!"

Broly looked at his future mother-in-law, who was formally entrusting her daughter to him on the bed, and felt that he had not made a mistake in resurrecting her. At least she did not create obstacles for him in his pursuit of Kagura as his wife after her resurrection.

“Mother-in-law, there’s no need to say that. How could I possibly dislike Kagura? From now on, I will take care of her life.”

Broly patted his chest and assured Tsuchimiya Mai.

After thinking for a moment, she picked up the little white dog from the ground and put it into Tsuchimiya Mai's arms.

"This is Bai Rui, the spirit beast of your Tu Gong family. This can be considered as returning it to its rightful owner."

"Woof~"

Mai Tsuchimiya: "..."

Looking at the little white dog in my hand, sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail, I didn't know what to say for a moment.

She didn't question the identity of the little white dog in her hand, because she was all too familiar with Bai Rui's aura.

"Does your mother-in-law need to rest? If so, I'll bring Kagura to see you in a few days. She doesn't know about this surprise I'm preparing for her yet."

“I feel fine now and don’t need to rest, but I’m afraid this might turn into a shock. You’d better think about how to explain it to the child, and of course, to the others.”

"Don't worry, I've already figured out how to explain it to everyone."

Broly waved his hand and said confidently.

. . . .

"I'm sorry, Sister Huangquan, Sister Kagura, I lied to you."

Back home, Broly gathered everyone in his family, including members of the Countermeasures Bureau and the Exorcism League, and then went to Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura. With a thud, he suddenly knelt on the wooden floor and performed a dogeza (a deep, profuse bowing gesture) to apologize.

"Ah, Broly, even if you deceived me, I'll forgive you, but why are you bowing to me in public?"

"Yes, no matter what you've lied to us about, neither Sister Huangquan nor I will blame you."

Everyone was a bit confused. Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura squatted down, trying to help Broly up, but they found that their enhanced bodies were like trying to lift a stubborn rock, and they couldn't lift Broly at all.

"I know you won't blame me, but I still need to apologize."

Broly straightened up, smiled at the two of them, and then looked at Mei Isayama and the others beside him, apologizing to them, and then to Ayame Jinguji and Naraku Isayama: "I'm sorry, I deceived you too."

"Uh, Broly, don't just apologize. We still don't know what you've been lying to us about, and we're still completely confused!"

Isayama Naraku said, and everyone else nodded, though they were all somewhat confused as to why this child had called them over.

"It's a bit troublesome to explain with words, so I'll just show you directly, clap clap~"

Broly clapped his hands, and two ninja spirits appeared behind him, one on the left and one on the right.

"White Shadow Teacher? Black Shadow Ninja Spirit!"

The appearance of the white-clad ninja was fine, but the appearance of the black-clad ninja, exuding an aura of evil spirits, triggered a shock reaction among the crowd.

Some drew their swords, others their guns, but all looked at the shadowy ninja with some tension. The next moment, the shadowy ninja and the white-robed ninja performed a full-body prostration, leaving them dumbfounded.

"No, what's going on?"

Sakuraba Kazuki felt his brain wasn't working properly.

"It's very simple, because they are both spirits that I created."

"Ah, so, Broly, you're actually the mastermind behind it all?"

"Pretty much. My apology just now was for creating an unnecessary crisis and keeping everyone busy for so long. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused."

Broly bowed again to apologize, and the two ninja spirits behind him did the same. One of them had a special effect of black flames forming a word of apology behind him, while the other held up a sign with the words of apology written on it.

Seeing the super genius Broly, the guardian spirit of the great spiritual vein, the White Shadow Ninja Spirit, and the great demon spirit born from Naraku, all bowing in apology in a triangular formation, everyone suddenly didn't know what to say.

As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, especially since the smiling faces here are likely stronger than them.

"No, I don't understand, Broly, why did you create this crisis?"

"At first, I wanted to train Sister Huang Quan and improve her strength."

Broly answered honestly, pointing to Iizuna Noriyuki standing to the side.

"He told me that Sister Huangquan was under pressure from some relatives because of the matter of the future heir of the Isayama family. He said that as long as Sister Huangquan's strength increased, no one would gossip anymore. So, I created the White Shadow Ninja..."

As Broly explained his reasons for creating the White Shadow Ninja, the way everyone looked at Noriyuki Iizuna became somewhat hostile, as if he were the source of evil, leading a peerless genius astray.

Izuna Noriyuki felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he had been unfairly blamed, and quickly began to explain to everyone.

"It was Isayama who said she wanted to protect Broly from the wind and rain and shield him from the pressure. I felt that my sister shouldn't remain silent after doing so much for her brother, so I encouraged Broly to work hard at the time. I had no idea that he would turn around and want Isayama to improve his strength..."

Isayama Yomi: "..."

"Then why did you attack the Tsuchimiya family's spiritual vein and seize Lady Tsuchimiya's remains?"

Jinguji Ayame interrupted the commotion from the crowd and directly asked Broly.

Kagura Tsuchimiya looked over. She didn't think Broly was bad, but she also wanted to know the boy's reason for taking his mother's body.

"Well, I'll show this to you too, Master Aqua."

Broly turned around and called out to Aqua.

"Now, please welcome Lady Tsuchimiya to the stage."

Aqua opened the door, and the living Mrs. Tsuchimiya and Wiz walked in amidst everyone's attention.

[You said you had figured out how to explain it to everyone, but it turns out you just wanted to use our traditional art of bowing deeply and apologizing!]

Lady Tsuchimiya felt she was starting to lose control of her facial expression.

Fortunately, when her daughter, Tsuchimiya Kagura, saw her, she burst into tears, as if she couldn't believe she was seeing her alive.

He asked her as if pleading for confirmation: "Mother, are you really my mother?"
